Entertainment: Is this how you play music?!

Chapter 309 I'm not going to gamble anymore, I really don't dare to gamble anymore!

Gong Shaowei was stunned.

My work?
What kind of work do you want, you son of a bitch?
No, I'm a writer.

I don't think I have any works to show for it.

For a moment, Gong Shaowei felt like he had been mistakenly injured, but at the same time, he felt like he hadn't been.

"Instead of just randomly trying to get freebies and making a fool of yourself, you should focus on whether you can do some real work and show some results. No matter how fancy the free gifts are, if the original is of poor quality, you will still be criticized. Besides, some of them may not even have the original."

"Some people may only see the fancy accessories, but they don't want to see whether the original parts are actually of good quality."

Li Can shrugged and continued speaking to himself.

Suddenly, she turned her head to look at Cheng Jin.

"You're right, aren't you, Cheng Jin?"

"Hahaha!"

The audience burst into laughter.

It may not sound very funny, but it must be quite sharp.

The subtle, ambiguous tone actually sounded rather profound.

Cheng Jin forced a smile, trying to appear somewhat entertaining.

But what Li Can said next hurt Cheng Jin even more.

"What a pity. If I were shorter, uglier, less educated, or weaker, I might have been able to debut as an idol."

"Hahahahaha!"

There wasn't even a moment to savor Cheng Jin's feelings.

After the audience's laughter subsided.

Li Can then continued speaking.

“I do read some criticisms of me on a regular basis, but unfortunately, almost all of them are subjective emotional outputs. Few of them make me reflect. These comments are like a desperate illiterate person who has been holding his breath until his face turns purple and finally lets out a sharp and mean fart.”

"When talking about others, they have high expectations; when talking about themselves, they start having internal conflicts and their eyes dart around, talking about other things."

"Later I realized that they were all just trying to ride the wave of popularity. Ignoring them is disgusting; if I did, I would be rewarding them."

"It gives me a feeling of helplessness—wanting to slap them but also being afraid of being licked by them."

"Some of the comments were so subtle that I wouldn't even know I was being criticized if I hadn't done my research beforehand!"

"Sigh, life is so boring, the toad comments on humanity."

"Hahahaha!"

As Li Can shook his head helplessly, the audience burst into laughter.

It was only a short while after the audience started laughing.

Li Can raised an eyebrow and looked up at Wang Yan.

"You're right, aren't you, Sister Yan?"

"Ha ha ha ha!!"

The audience was now very excited.

Listen to what Li Can said.

Wang Yan seems to have had some very strong opinions about Li Can in the past.

Even the most oblivious viewers could sense that the guests on stage were genuinely trying to capitalize on the hype, but were holding back.

But Li Can really had no scruples.

What kind of language-based programs?
What kind of humor is entertaining?
He didn't care at all.

This person is clearly just making veiled attacks.

as predicted.

Li Can began to escalate his attacks, giving off a feeling that if you don't criticize me, I'll criticize you.

"The modernization of Xia Kingdom has brought happiness to its people, and now all sorts of demons and monsters have the opportunity to start jumping around."

"The internet is full of trolls who copy and paste. If you didn't know better, you'd think the network base stations were being built on graves. Even zombies are using smartphones. And yet, they're still using outdated 2G networks to follow celebrities while cursing the hard-working people who trekked through mountains and rivers to build these base stations."

"Those who are involved in art and literature are even more eager to stir up trouble. Once the 'foot-binding cloth' in their minds is torn off, it can circle the grave eight times. The ghosts of the previous dynasty have been reborn into a good family. Among all the monkeys on the mountain, the one that can jump is the most popular. It's so popular that it's embarrassing to spin around naked."

"Compared to literature, which only disgusts a niche audience, those who like to disgust the masses with marketing accounts should look to the entertainment industry. One minute it's this celebrity's outfit, the next it's that celebrity causing a sensation after getting off the plane, or some fashion outfits and trendy makeup. If they have nothing else to do, they'll bite a lighter!"

Speaking of it.

Li Can suddenly glanced at the advertising posters hanging on the podium.

After frowning slightly, he pointed to the logo of a beer manufacturer not far away and began to speak.

"These beers are all malt?"

The seemingly disjointed statement initially startled the audience.

Immediately after considering the context, I realized that this statement didn't quite make sense.

Chew it carefully. "Buhao" is a pun!
"Hahahahahaha!!"

The entire audience erupted in loud laughter.

Li Can's words were pointed.

But this time, no names will be mentioned.

However, amidst the bursts of laughter, the audience realized who they were referring to.

the difference is.

While criticizing them, Li Can also casually mentioned a whole bunch of similar groups.

This includes, but is not limited to, internet celebrities, stars, and so-called commentators, thinkers, and educators who do the work of internet celebrities without a proper job and do not acknowledge their internet celebrity status.

Think about it carefully.

If you strip away all the glamour from the guests this time, you can really find the right person for each of them.

"I won't say who it is. I'm just playing around. Take it personally. Anyway, I'm mentally ill and I won't take any responsibility."

"The above was all made up, thank you everyone!"

Li Can bowed with a smile.

The audience immediately gave a strong response.

The applause and cheers were noticeably louder.

Whether you laugh or not is unimportant, but it is certainly sharp enough.

Li Can did not choose to sit at the same table with them.

They didn't choose to flip the table over directly.

Abstraction is, after all, the grandfather of abstraction. He chose to spit into the food, then sat in his seat with a smile, looking at the others with an expression that seemed to ask, "Why aren't you eating?"

The group of people who had been sprayed in the face by Li Can and immediately took it personally did not feel any extra emotion at this moment.

I won't be angry, nor will I be happy.

My heart is pounding, and I feel a little panicked.

It's true that they wanted to ride the wave of popularity.

But Lee Chan really is a bit hard to choose.

Later, when Li Can took entertainment to the level of reality, people began to feel that something was amiss.

"."

Qian Hanjun's heart also accelerated slightly.

But overall, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

The overall intensity of the program was not as high as I had imagined; in fact, it was much lower.

A group of people are attacking Li Can for being abstract and claiming that he has mental health issues.

But Li Can was not ashamed at all; on the contrary, he proudly displayed it.

Qian Hanjun immediately understood.

Li Can's abstract expression isn't acting!
That's just how it is!
"Never mind, it's best if the show can air at all."

Qian Hanjun shook his head.

They immediately took out the program design and began to revise it.

The content that originally involved some conflicting social issues was completely crossed out by Qian Hanjun.

It's true that popularity can generate a lot of gold coins.

But Qian Hanjun chickened out at the last minute.

Bet that your bicycle will turn into a motorcycle.

Even the most awesome motorcycle, even if Zhu Ziwen himself were to ride it, would still be far inferior to a dump truck!

Even if Li Can had just casually mentioned this dump truck, Qian Hanjun wouldn't have taken it seriously.

But clearly, this is already a blatant warning.

Others' righteous and stern warnings may have no effect on Chen Hanjun.

But if it's Li Can, even if it's a joke, he would still be genuinely stressed.

At least in terms of program content, Qian Hanjun really doesn't dare to pull any tricks anymore.

After seeing off Grandpa Li Can, his brow was covered in sweat.

Back in his office, Qian Hanjun once again examined the topics and content that he had cut by nearly a third.

Let out a long sigh.

"There's definitely a reason why no one wants to make easy money."

postpone!

It must be postponed!
Leaving it there directly is terrifying. Qian Hanjun is no longer laughing; he just wants to revise it slowly and carefully.

After the recording ended, Li Can's mood remained unchanged.

It remains very peaceful.

As for the other guests
That has nothing to do with me.

Regarding this roast show, Li Can maintained one attitude.

If you know when to stop, then everything will be fine. But if you cause trouble, the reviewers will be in for a rough time.

After expressing his stance through his rant.

Whether it airs or not is no longer a big deal.

Even if it becomes a huge hit after airing, as long as the social discussion it sparks is positive, then there's no problem.

Upon returning to the company, Li Can did not go back to the studio first, but went upstairs and headed straight for Wang Yongchang's office.

"Old Wang, keep an eye on this celebrity roast show for me. From post-production review to distribution and broadcast, and all the way to the subsequent public opinion, if anything goes wrong, be sure to let me know."

Is it that serious?

After nodding, Lao Wang looked up at Li Can with a somewhat surprised expression.

In Lao Wang's opinion.

This is just a cheap, quick training program that flopped a little.

If Li Can were there, he would become very popular, but that would only be because of him personally, and the spotlight on the show would be completely overshadowed.

Seeing how seriously Li Can took it, Old Wang immediately became serious.

"Very serious."

Li Can nodded seriously, and then spoke.

"To put it bluntly, one should not do evil even if it is small. Once a certain path is opened, it will become escalated. Entertainment is acceptable, and excessive entertainment is controversial, but if we entertain ourselves to death, then there is really no need for it."

“Especially programs that blatantly try to create conflict will set a very bad example for the industry. I discussed it with my mentor and asked the censors to be careful before I went to record it. If I can’t handle this aspect, I won’t even go.”

"Sometimes I'm afraid that my popularity will make me an accomplice to negative content and distorted values, but I still have to stand up when I should."

"Okay, I see."

Wang Yongchang nodded and confirmed it again.

Without any perfunctory approach, they directly highlighted the dates and progress information of celebrity roasting programs in red at the top of the computer files.

"So, what's the work schedule going forward?"

"Primarily based on background music."

As Li Can spoke, Wang Yongchang took notes.

This is to better schedule announcements later.

"The soundtrack for 'Black Monkey' is in production, the Sony co-development game project 'Eternal Origin' is about to begin, DC has secured a film project, but arrangements haven't started yet, and in China, judging by the timeline, work on 'Songgu Peak' will also begin soon, so I need to prepare in advance, and the band members will also be assigned many tasks."

"understood."

Wang Yongchang nodded.

In fact, the workload of Li Can and others was far heavier than imagined.

Normally, music artists only release new works every one to two years.

For example, someone like Chen Meijing.

The album is still going strong, it's still fresh and hot right now, there's no need for a new one.

Artists like Lin Xin and Zheng Jie only participated in three to five appearances.

The classical circle is even more outrageous.

Xie Lang has been practicing the piano ever since watching the premiere of "Ode to Joy," preparing for his upcoming major annual performance in Vienna.

Meanwhile, Li Can and his group released new songs one after another, like a barrage of anti-aircraft bullets.

It's a good thing, it's very popular, but it also needs some time to settle and ferment.

At least in terms of the "band" aspect, fans need time to release the pressure.

There are too many; even with frequent style changes, aesthetic fatigue can set in.

Switching to soundtracks in the next six months to a year would be the best option.

Not only can it whet the appetite of fans, but it can also keep the output of works, making DP Band's performances at music festivals in Japan have a more "return of the king" feel.

After saying goodbye to Wang Yongchang.

Li Can then returned to the studio and began assigning tasks.

"Next is the issue of music production. Winnie will be in charge of disassembling all the scores for the 'Black Monkey' score. Zezi, you record the string parts first, on a single track."

"Gangzi, you're in charge of recording the other audio tracks. You can find someone to record them or record them electronically."

"Feng Ge and Jia Yin practiced the vocals needed in the video, and recorded together. They also adjusted the balance with Gang Zi and Ze Zi, and then did the finishing touches."

"no problem!"

The group exchanged glances and then all gave an OK sign.

Li Can remained silent, only continuing to pull out the sheet music.

Everything seemed to have returned to calm.

at the same time.

On the other side of the earth.

New York, the lighthouse.

Old Berlusconi's eyelids twitched wildly as he watched Henry, who was unshaven and aching all over.

Henry was living alone at home during this time because his girlfriend was busy.

I touched the overheated computer and looked at the stack of pizza boxes on the coffee table in the distance.

Old Bei would have thought of it immediately.

Henry was playing video games day and night, probably without even having time to eat.

"Henry, you."

"Old Bei, come here, let me tell you, this game is so much fun!"

Henry yawned.

Strong muscles are pounding against the small controller.

He looked at his 34-inch computer screen with a big laugh.

The image above clearly reads "Warcraft Fantasy World".

"you"

Old Bei couldn't say a word.

Henry, who was addicted to games, had already started developing his own business.

It's very likely that during this period, Henry himself had already started looking at several games.

The reason why Old Bei personally came to their door was entirely because...
"Henry, your agent has called you so many times, didn't you answer? They've even called me to look for you!"

Old Bei's brow twitched slightly.

"oops!"

Henry slapped his forehead and exclaimed in surprise.

"Oops, I forgot, I think I have a show appearance! Oh my god!"

"."

Old Bei's brow continued to twitch wildly.

In fact, Henry's New York house was very, very private, and very few people knew about it.

I chose this solely so that I could live a quiet life with my girlfriend; it's purely for our private space.

Berlusconi was one of the few people who knew where Henry lived. Even his agent only knew that Henry had a house there, but did not know the specific address.

Do you know when the announcement is?

"Oh no, it should be tomorrow night."

"It's tonight! Tonight!!"

"Shit! Shit! Why isn't my phone ringing!"
