Entertainment: Is this how you play music?!

Chapter 382 This performance is completely ruined.

Lin Xin thought about it all night but still couldn't figure out why the organizers would invite the Devil Power band.

This year's Glory National Innovation Competition is undoubtedly a grand stage.

However, in terms of quality, it's not a high-end stage at all; it's very much geared towards entertainment.

Besides Lin Xin, there are only two other real professional singers.

leftover.
They're all just internet celebrities, livestreamers, new pretty faces signed by entertainment companies, and low-profile influencers who've jumped on the bandwagon.

The most traditional method is for experienced mentors to guide newcomers, and for seniors to mentor juniors.

Hiring professional singers is purely a safety net, at least to prevent things from going too far.

That's good now, with Brother Chan around, there's no way to cover it up.

Sharing the stage with these contestants is risky for Lin Xin herself. If the comparison is too great, negative feedback will come immediately, and she may be disliked for no reason. Lin Xin can only hope that they at least do a good job of putting on a good show.

it's good now.

With Li Can around, I don't need to worry about being displeased, after all, I have a big guy to back me up.

But negative feedback is inevitable.

Lin Xin's feelings were very complicated.

This is no longer as simple as just causing trouble. Why would Tencent want to sabotage its own business?

"I can't figure it out, I really can't figure it out!"

"."

If she couldn't figure it out, she wouldn't think about it; Lin Xin just wanted to practice singing as soon as possible.

Sharing the stage with DP Band isn't scary; whoever sings badly will explode.

If you sing well, it's not a big problem even if you're outshone.

at this time.

Another professional singer, Zhao Ru, didn't think too much about it.

I just want to go on stage and sing a song. I don't want to get involved in too much. As long as I don't sing off-key, I can make money peacefully.

Lin Xin doesn't really like fighting; she has a very peaceful mindset.

Chen Ru is an ordinary professional singer with no great fame and mediocre skills, but she can make a living. She sometimes dreams of becoming famous, but she's okay with not being famous. She just makes do, sings and communicates in a mediocre way.

But Huang Jin is different.

When Huang Jin learned about this, he was so happy he slapped his thigh. As the third professional singer on stage, he laughed so hard he almost slapped his thigh.

"Hahaha! You deserve it! Chan-hyung is really my brother!"

The entertainment industry is a delicate ecosystem. You can't judge information based on strength and popularity. You never know whether someone is an ant or a small friend.

As a professional singer who has been a safety net, Huang Jin has encountered this kind of thing no less than five times, and each time it was outrageous.

Because all five of the oddballs I encountered were muted; they were playing pre-recorded audio.

I was just doing this to give people the feeling of singing and to prove that I was just a tool for live performances.

Yes, even so, things can still go wrong.

Some recordings are even full of static, which can't compare to a professional singer's live performance.

That's it.

You might even get resented by a weirdo, and then encounter all sorts of trouble.

This is really awkward.

After all, who made you sing so well?
Faced with this reality, Huang Jin was truly speechless.

They really have connections behind them. As for me? I have some, but not much. They might protect me occasionally, but not to the point where a big shot would protect me to the death. I still need to be adept at navigating social situations myself.

When Huang Jin received this job again, he originally just wanted to do it half-heartedly. His previous five experiences had left him full of resentment towards these kinds of performances, but he couldn't refuse the company's arrangements, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and participate, hoping not to encounter any oddballs.

But I never expected it.

A handsome guy suddenly appeared out of nowhere!

Huang Jin immediately perked up.

All those old frustrations, stifles, and annoyances suddenly surged into my mind.

Is this some kind of cheap imitation?
I must charge!
As for the performance effect
With Brother Chan around, even if some idiot dares to be unhappy, what does it have to do with me?
Huang Jin just wanted to add fuel to the fire, and also watch Li Can fairly and justly kill all the performers.

If there are performers like DP who are exceptionally talented, the other performers on the same stage would have to be top-tier singers to avoid being overshadowed. But even that would only prevent them from being completely outshone.

Of the three singers, only Lin Xin can protect herself, Huang Jin is barely able to, and Zhao Ru is completely indifferent.

What about the others?

Anyone with a brain can imagine what the effect will be.

If the difference is too great, then the entire performance is a complete disaster.

All of a sudden.

This performance seemed to have changed.

What the celebrities are aware of, the organizers are even more aware of.

In fact, from the very beginning, all the performance projects were based on the alternative plans, all of which were based on the premise that Tencent could not persuade Li Can to participate.

At that time, all business operations will proceed as usual, just like in the past, focusing on traffic economy and fan economy.

But now that Li Can has joined, we must proceed according to the original plan.

At this point, all the numerous galas and variety shows produced by the company in the early stages can be completely sacrificed!
We need a strong contrast, we need to cause a ruckus!
It's not just this one "dark history" of Honor National Creation.

There will be more, darker, and more explosive comparisons to come!
By comparing extreme aspects of the music scene over a period of more than six months, we aim to spark public discussion and debate, and through this process, determine the future commercial value orientation!
Immediately afterwards, they proactively catered to the awakened market demand, branding themselves as "real music makers" and "powerhouses," and began to expand into related fields such as film, television, games, animation, and original music.

If we can achieve these things, then our collaborations with established veterans in the industry will not just be a case of receiving praise but not making money.

On the contrary, you can make money, gain fame, and even build relationships with industry veterans and influential figures.

finally.

Presenting the award to Li Can during the awards ceremony will not only enhance the authority of the awards but also showcase these carefully crafted works, giving the audience an explanation through the award.

It has gained authority.

The event has also gained a reputation for producing high-quality products and strong commercial appeal.

Get more in one fell swoop.

The streamers, internet celebrities, young heartthrobs, and pretty faces who could have been used as pawns to generate traffic.

With Li Can's entry, he suddenly became a negative example, an object to be abandoned.

Burn it all at once, the stinkier the better.

However, Li Can knew about this, as did the executives at Tencent.

Others may not know the inside story and logic behind it.

Not to mention the viewers who were excited when they saw the program preview.

Even the performers on the same stage were unaware of the seriousness of the problem.

Lin Xin could sense that something was wrong, that the performance was doomed, which was quite a keen sense of smell. However, she didn't know about the subsequent collaborations, which was why she couldn't understand the arrangement of this performance.

The Internet at this time.

Netizens are enthusiastic about DP Band's performance.

The overall atmosphere was relaxed, and you could feel that the difference in skill level was quite obvious, but no one realized that this performance would completely fall apart.

[Great! A performance before the New Year to help us have a good holiday, and now we have another report to give us back to work after the holiday.]

[Wow, that instantly boosted the class!]

What are the conditions, organizers? Can you get the DP band to come?

[Wonderful! My little Maruko won't be completely crushed by the pro, will she?!]

【No? Who did you say was coming? Does this make sense?】

Hahaha! I'm suddenly looking forward to the performance!

Looking at the comments online.

The other performers each had different inner thoughts.

The only reason I was so terrified wasn't that I was going to be outdone, or that I was going to share the stage with the DP band. The root of the problem was that phrase, "live vocals."

This time, it was a truly live performance.

It's ridiculous to say that.

Of the remaining eight singers, three are actors, two are internet celebrities, one is a live streamer, one is a young idol who went solo, and one is a newly popular idol singer.

Originally, there was no need to worry about the stage; all that was needed was recording.

Leave the live vocals to the professional singers.

When they heard that they would be speaking live, almost all eight of them were stunned.

Yes.

Performing live on a large stage, these eight people combined have no more than 2 experience points.

That's not all, there's also a DP band.

Even if there were, it wouldn't matter, there are only three days left until the performance.

It would be a miracle if nothing went wrong; all sorts of mishaps are the norm. Isn't this a disaster?
"No way! How can you use your microphone? If you use your microphone and make a mistake during the performance, it will affect our artist!"

There are quite a few people who hold this view.

They joined forces to put pressure on Tencent, trying to explain the pros and cons, discuss the interests involved, and persuade Tencent not to impose such outrageous restrictions.

The result was that it almost made the Tencent employees laugh.

[Aijiba - This is a one-time opportunity; breach of contract will result in compensation and immediate blacklisting.]

It's under control.

Originally, seeing the hype surrounding the show I was going to participate in was really exciting, I was looking forward to it and felt thrilled.

But now, looking at the show's popularity and the audience's expectations...

It was hell.

[Little one! Go for it! Looking forward to it!!]

I love listening to Sister Yin sing! She's so talented; she's a great actress and sings beautifully!

[Go for it! Maruko! We've finally gotten to eat something good and share the stage with the DP band, seize this opportunity!]

The addition of the DP band.

This instantly raised netizens' expectations for the show to an all-time high.

Love the house and the bird.

The expectations of the other participants also rose instantly.

High expectations are a good thing, but if they're too high, there will be a disappointment.

Whether it's numb or not, only you know.

It's too late anyway.

A day flies by quickly.

Li Can and his group arrived at the Ice Ribbon for a rehearsal before their performance.

He bumped right into Lin Xin.

"Hey! Xin-ge, you're here!"

"Oh dear, Brother Can, you can't call me that."

Lin Xin met Li Can, patted him on the shoulder familiarly, and then walked into the backstage preparation area with a smile.

"Brother Can, what made you decide to come to this place?"

"Hehe, nothing much, just playing around, warming up my hands, and keeping in shape."

I heard this.

Lin Xin looked at everyone with a resentful expression.

"Hey! You guys scared me to death! These are Jiayin and Feng Ge! I was so scared that I practiced singing all night."

"Haha, no, no, not at all."

Lin Feng and Han Jiayin waved and smiled.

Lin Xin was just being modest.

Even if the live stage effect is sometimes not as good as DP Band, it is because of the accompaniment and arrangement. Once you reach a certain level, the impact of singing ability on the stage effect and the difference in audience appreciation will become smaller and smaller.

"Seriously, Chan-ge, what brings you guys here?"

Lin Xin lowered her voice and glanced around.

Seeing other contestants just entering the gate, a hint of pity crept into his eyes.

"If it were a condom, that would be fine, but this is all live vocals, this performance..."

"Yes, this performance is definitely going to be a complete disaster."

Li Can patted Lin Xin on the shoulder with a smile, and what he said made Lin Xin inwardly curse.

"A healthy industry ecosystem means that whoever has the biggest bowl gets the most food!"

"."

Lin Xin really had no way to respond to that.

Li Can's statement was so favorable to me; I almost wanted to give it my full support.

But only the DP band can ignore the intricate web of interests within the industry; I can't do that.

"Great, Chan-ge, how about something more intense?"

"Come!"

Seeing that the other performers were about to arrive at the backstage area.

Li Can not only didn't whisper, but also showed no intention of avoiding the issue.

"Let me tell you something inside: the order of the programs has been changed. I was originally supposed to be the finale, but I've been moved to the beginning."

"Huang Jin will open the show, followed by an actor, an internet celebrity, and then it will be our turn after that. We'll have nine minutes of screen time, and then everyone else will come. Zhao Ru will be in the middle, and you'll be the second to last act, cutting up the garbage time."

"Ah I?!"

Lin Xin was truly dumbfounded.

He pointed his finger at the tip of his nose and leaned his head forward slightly.

I wanted to laugh, but my eyes were filled with disbelief and astonishment.

Why am I the one ending?

"Let's cleanse the audience's ears."

Li Can chuckled.

His face screamed "troublemaker."

"Otherwise, how can it be called disrupting the event? It has to be as explosive and disruptive as possible. What the audience needs is the most direct and obvious sense of difference."

“You’re an old acquaintance of mine, so we can’t keep focusing on you. We need to avoid each other, but this can’t end here.”

Li Canyan said all he wanted to say.

But Lin Xin understood it completely.

His pupils constricted rapidly, and his heart began to race.

Good heavens, this is practically like finely chopping up a giant pile of shit into a sauce, then sandwiching it between a refined flour bun, and separating it with DP Band's top-grade 5A beef, which is tender, slow-cooked, and grilled.

Lin Xin couldn't even imagine what the audience's reaction would be after it was put into their mouths.

It's so delicious that it makes you want to gag.

How could anyone do such a thing?!

"Brother Can, how did you convince Tencent?"

"Ahem, look, they're coming in."

"."

Li Can coughed lightly, smiled mysteriously, and said nothing more.

Lin Xin's gaze held a hint of resentment, but she quickly composed herself.

"Okay, Brother Can, you guys get ready first, see you at rehearsal."

"okay!"

Saying goodbye to Lin Xin.

Li Can and his group returned to their waiting area, began tuning their instruments, and waited for the rehearsal to begin.

This rehearsal was exactly the same as the performance that day, and it required a single, continuous take.

The backstage area is separated, so social reasons will not affect each other's preparations before the performance.

Soon, rehearsals began.

Huang Jin stepped onto the stage and gave his all in the performance.

Li Can nodded repeatedly.

Among professional singers, his skill level is considered slightly above average, at least at the late-stage Nascent Soul realm.

But then, the performance of the next actress, Yin Man, made Li Can feel as if he were seeing a rural child being brutally beaten by a big yellow dog.

It's perfectly normal for actors to not be good singers.

Moreover, stage performances and karaoke are completely different.

With microphones on full mic without any adjustments
Yin Man was unable to sing the song accurately at all.

If you run 800 li.

That's not a big problem; you'll just be laughed at, not hated.

But Yin Man ran crookedly.

While the overall arrangement forms a minor second with the accompaniment, it occasionally leaps a second or third.

An uneven jog is the most dangerous.

I never expected it to explode so quickly, right at the beginning.
