Huayu: Starting from the top talent show

Chapter 24 I am most afraid of rappers saying sweet words

After putting on their radio equipment, the two men stood on the stage.

Shen Juan is still wearing a fashionable outfit that is expected to become a hot trend of the season. On the other side, Nuomi, with the help of her good brother, has put together a set of clothing and accessories that are quite in line with her hip-hop temperament.

At least it looks better than the previous outfit that might be criticized by netizens as "picked up from trash" after the show was broadcast.

When a popular contestant who plays the male lead comes on stage, the producer who has been instructed by the program team will naturally have a good chat with him to leave enough editing materials for the main film.

Zhang Zhenyue took the lead in initiating the topic:
"I just looked at the lyrics and found that the song you are going to sing next is a bit like a love song, right?"

"Yes, it is indeed a love song." At Shen Juan's signal, Nuomi took the initiative to pick up the microphone and answer the question.

"Oh? Why do you want to sing a love song? What I mean is, Shen Juan, this program has always featured songs with cool lyrics and melodies, and we all know what your style was in the previous rounds. Why do you suddenly show a different style on the collaborative stage of this round of 1-on-1 battle?" Hot Dog sat up on the sofa and asked with interest.

"Because I know I can sing any song well, so why not give it a try?" Shen Juan paused for a moment and continued, "And for a contestant like me who came from an idol background, every stage is precious, so I want to sing the music I like as much as possible to show my ability and versatility."

“The idol rapper’s background isn’t a sin, it’s that they’re bad at it.” There’s no emotional tone in the words, but they’re powerful.

When the contestants sitting in the waiting room next door heard Shen Juan's words, their eyes widened and they started to make a lot of noise. The atmosphere was very cheerful.

Because they all knew who these words were addressed to.

Guy was fine, at least he managed to keep a straight expression on his face and comfort himself that these words were not directed at just him.

But on the other side, Pijiwan was obviously unable to bear it anymore. He could only pull down the brim of his hat again to pretend to be an ostrich so that others could not see his completely black face.

Ever since the conflict with Shen Juan, he felt that every word Shen Juan said was a hint at him. Of course he knew that he shouldn't be so sensitive, but it was still hard not to think so, because he had lost face in front of everyone that day and he hasn't even recovered yet.

Pan Weibo was also happy to know that there were conflicts between underground rappers and idol rappers. He liked those contestants who said what they thought and did what they wanted.

"Then I really want to respect your courage to break through the siege and stand out with love songs."

"Thank you, Teacher Pan." Shen Juan responded with a smile.

"Okay, let's start the performance. I hope you can have a good performance today." Wu Jiaheng, who had remained silent before, finally spoke up to break the silence.

"OK, Let's get it!"

Several beams of deep blue lights fell from the dome, making the stage hazy and psychedelic. A soothing prelude sounded, and Shen Juan quietly raised the microphone and began to sing.

"This is man's world, by falling for you."

In order to take care of his partner Nuomi, Shen Juan made changes in the direction of song selection in this round of competition.

"The Rap of China", which was launched in 2018 and also came from the 1V1 battle session, is a popular hip-hop single "Planet Falling", and has become the best choice at present.

"I want to pick the stars for you,

I'll pick the moon for you.

I'll pick the sun for you.

I'll give you whatever you want."

The song begins with a chorus with an amazing melody, and the contestants immediately exclaimed in surprise.

The few female rappers who survived to this day stared straight at the screen at Shen Juan, who was so handsome that it gave people's thighs cramps, while covering their chests with infatuated expressions.

"I found that he sang the hook very well too." Zhang Zhenyue commented while nodding along with the melody.

"Didn't you hear what he said just now? He is an all-round player!" Hot Dog smiled and shook his head.

One nodded, the other shook his head.
What kind of weird sense of tacit understanding is this?
"His voice and his accent make him sound good even if he sings other songs, not rap."

Pan Weibo couldn't hold back his inner desire to share, so he found Wu Jiaheng, who was frowning and stunned by Shen Juan's voice.

Upon hearing this, Wu Jiaheng simply nodded slightly as his answer.

Some time ago, he discussed the issue of Shen Juan with the team. Other team members felt that it was unlikely that they could achieve a peaceful win-win situation by keeping out of each other's way with Shen Juan.

The reason is very simple. With such a handsome face, it is obvious that he is coming to the domestic entertainment industry to enjoy the best of the best.

How can you possibly feed someone with just some soup or water?

Therefore, he actually doesn't want to comment on the traffic and popularity Shen Juan brings him in front of the camera, because he has already regarded Shen Juan as his future competitor.

Naturally, I won't be so foolish as to aid the enemy.

(I can only say that PD Zhang is too honest. He is still working diligently even when Kun Kun steals the limelight.)
The performance on stage continued. After singing the chorus twice, the rap part began.

Shen Juan closed his eyes and swayed his body to the music.

“Sometimes you get upset.
I was so frustrated that I thought about giving up.

I can't rest assured girl,

I always like to daydream.
Say I have something to hide,

Makes you feel sad girl. "

I'm not afraid of anything except rappers saying sweet words.

If Shen Juan's previous rap was based on its high-level intonation and cool and smooth flow as its selling point, then this stage performance gave people a very comfortable and relaxing listening experience, with a magical power that made people calm down and listen carefully.

"How come this brother can handle all kinds of styles?" Gai stared at Shen Juan on the screen with a serious expression.

He had long regarded this idol who did not look like an idol rapper as one of his biggest competitors in the show, so he had been paying close attention to his performance.

In his opinion, Shen Juan's strength seemed to have improved significantly compared to the last 60-second qualifying match.

After Shen Juan finished singing the verse, it was Nuomi's part.

Following the principle of "picking the softest persimmon to squeeze", Wu Jiaheng suddenly had more words to say when commenting on the stage.

"He's coming in fast, isn't he?"

"Yes, it's a little faster." Pan Weibo agreed with Wu Jiaheng's judgment, "But overall it's still OK. Nuomi has made great progress this round."

“Well, there has been progress.”

The instructor did not make any random comments. Nuomi's ability was indeed at the bottom among the 40 contestants present.

Although he had been trying very hard to memorize the lyrics and melody these days, he was still unable to reach the promotion standards in his mentor's mind due to his limited talent and basic skills.

But it’s not completely without highlights.

For example, this paragraph
"You know,

I don't have any secrets.
Your voice is too fierce.
But I'm not in a hurry.
You always say,
Who am I?
No one would ever do this to you.”

Almost everyone in the contestant seats turned their eyes to Pidgewan, whose hat brim was so low that his face could not be seen clearly.

There is no doubt that this verse by Nuomi was written specifically for Pijiwan.

So everyone wants to see how this rapper, who is usually so arrogant that he hardly looks anyone in the eye, will react when faced with a public diss from someone.

It's a pity that Pijiwan has been pretending to be an ostrich and playing dead since Shen Juan came to power, which makes them very disappointed. They complained in their hearts that this guy is soft and afraid of tough things and has no Hei Bubble spirit.

"Because one is in the east and the other is in the west."

The two-minute performance ended quickly, and the three groups of producers began to comment in turn to decide who would stay and who would leave.

In fact, there is no suspense.

Be it lyrics, live performance, or even song creation, Shen Juan is better than Nuomi in every aspect.

Nuomi also admitted defeat with a sincere heart.

So without much hesitation, the mentors made their choice and unanimously decided to let Shen Juan win and advance.

After hugging and encouraging Nuomi, who said with red eyes that she wanted to go back to her hometown to rest for a while, Shen Juan returned to his seat amid the cheers of the crowd.

Although Nuomi's strength and talent in rap cannot support him to go further, his innocent brain that has not been polluted by knowledge is his weapon to get rich.

Shen Juan felt that his younger brother would develop in the unique path of abstract rap.

He seemed to be born for this job.

As for myself who just eliminated and sent away Nuomi?
Tomorrow he will return to South Korea to participate in the finals of the hit talent show "Produce 101".

It's time to say goodbye to the fans officially.

　Thanks to the King of Duanshui for the monthly ticket!
