Entertainment: Is this how you play music?!

Chapter 386 Two people, one a god, the other a god among gods, and the rest were not human at all.

The audience's emotions were rising higher and higher.

But it doesn't seem to be a good thing.

No audience member felt that DP was overdoing it. After all, those who hadn't seen them were amazed by their live performance, while those who had seen them knew that this was DP's usual style.

Finally, at the height of their enthusiasm.

DP Band has finished their performance.

The slowly approaching broadsword finally came to his throat.

Wei Cheng steeled himself and went onto the stage to continue the performance.

What kind of singers can perform on the same stage as the DP band without showing much difference?
At least the difference in quality won't be too obvious to the audience.

You need to be at least a top-tier singer who is extremely good at live performances and whose live performances are praised by fans, and you need to be in good condition during the performance.

In any case, this was something Wei Cheng couldn't possibly have imagined.

The situation of a newly popular young idol taking the stage after an international band performance can only be described as extremely chaotic.

Fear of comparison in everything.

The order of the program was decided by Li Can, and the production team had no choice but to follow suit.

If Wei Cheng were placed among even less talented people, he might stand out, but his downfall lies in being placed behind the DP band.

While you're applying glue, the camera suddenly cuts to a chubby man with a thick beard smiling at you.

The audience felt exactly the same way.

Still enjoying the afterglow of the live performance.

The wheat exploded.

Not too off-key, but a tiny bit off-key; not too out of rhythm, but a tiny bit off-key; the voice wasn't too bad, but a tiny bit too plain.

He's just at the level of an average amateur.

Three 50s make 150, and the idol's popularity bonus might bring it up to 180.

But DP Band gets a perfect score of 300, plus 200 for their stage presence and emotional impact, and another 200 for their popularity.

A performance that goes from 700 points to 180 points is practically no different from 0 points or even a negative score.

A barrage of question marks once again appeared on the internet.

【? ? ? 】

【? ? ? 】

What the hell is this?

Holy crap, there's an expert here.

[What kind of genius could come up with such an arrangement? Are they really not afraid of being overshadowed?]

I desperately need a word that's even more serious than "crashing the party."

For a moment, it was even unclear who was disrupting whose event.

"what"

The audience began to boo.

DP's amazing performance thrilled the audience, but the stark contrast also fueled their dissatisfaction.

Neither an excellent performance nor a complete disaster would have such a huge impact.

If it's excellent, then we'll call it good; if it's a disaster, then we'll just watch the show.

But when compared like this, the audience only had one feeling—dissatisfaction!

Extremely dissatisfied, very dissatisfied.

It's like they could make something clean and delicious, but they deliberately add some excrement to it.

As Li Can said.

How can you tell who's good and who's bad if you don't mix in some shit?

This performance was outrageous.

It not only angered the audience.

This made people in the music industry feel that something was very wrong!
This performance revealed so much information.

They could have lip-synced, but they insisted on singing live, even if it meant ruining the performance.

Knowing the vast differences, they still ranked the programs according to these criteria, as if they were afraid that people wouldn't be able to perceive the diversity of the world.

"What exactly are they trying to do?"

People in the music industry started to panic first.

It's important to understand that lip-syncing is unavoidable because it's so easy to pull off.

Many so-called live performances, which sound like they were performed live, may actually be lip-synced, just to varying degrees.

Many professionals euphemistically refer to it as "backing sound".

Some are simply opened and the audio tape is played for lip-syncing.

Some people sing along, their microphones are on, but the backing track plays the original vocals, which sounds very realistic and can also avoid the risk of problems with difficult sections.

The amount of backing music varies depending on the performer's conscience.

Even though the original vocal track is available, they insist on pretending it's a harmony.

Actually, it's not even close to being a proper match.

Singers who truly use harmonies and sing their own songs find these kinds of people who confuse right and wrong the most annoying!

But this performance is different.

Any musician could tell that this was a completely live performance with no lip-syncing or backing tracks, and the entire performance was completely live with no fakery whatsoever.

"Is Tencent determined to succeed, or is Li Can exerting his influence?!"

What will be the trajectory of the subsequent outbreaks?

As they continued listening, the singers in the industry became increasingly panicked.

After Wei Cheng, the others took turns performing on stage.

Whether it's Zhao Ru, a professional singer, or several unknown internet celebrities who want to enter the industry.

Even during his performance, the accompaniment remained incredibly clear.

There were even incidents where the internet celebrity Xiaowanzi was so nervous that she couldn't keep up with the accompaniment, the accompaniment played blankly, and she stumbled and struggled to catch up.

During this process, there isn't even any harmony in the accompaniment.

Regardless of the stage effects, at least the "sincerity" of performing live was truly evident.

Of course, not all singers will panic.

A few prominent figures who were paying attention to the performance frowned upon seeing such a dramatic display.

There were no distractions; it was just a pure live performance.

How could it have turned out like this?!
Is singing live the biggest challenge of their lives?
These questions persisted until Lin Hsin took the stage.

Lin Xin's talent needs no introduction; her stable stage presence and vocal control are exceptional.

Especially after experiencing a horrific car accident, Lin Xin's ballads are incredibly healing.

[Damn, it was like hearing celestial music; my ears were temporarily cleared.]

My aching ears have been healed again; I'm so damn touched.

I've never realized music could be so beautiful.

Everything has its gains and losses.

The contestants at the disaster site lost everything, but the contestants who remained extremely composed on the spot gained everything.

After realizing this.

Many big names in the music industry suddenly realized what was going on.

Whether it originated from Li Can, Tencent, or was a spontaneous collaboration between the two, it no longer matters.

The important thing is that someone wants to make some changes to the economic logic of the music industry, at least the singer industry.

It's impossible to completely eliminate lip-syncing.

Because if the upper beam is crooked, the lower beam will also be crooked.

But no matter the excuse, no matter if it's an important performance that only happens once every few years, a performance is a live event, and a live event should be a live event. We shouldn't be thinking about whether a mishap will affect the audience's experience.

It takes ten years of practice to achieve three minutes of success on stage. If you make a mistake in three minutes, then you need to see if you haven't put in ten years of practice.

Everyone makes mistakes, but when a master makes a mistake, some are salvaged, some create even more surprising moments, and some are completely undetectable.

Making a mistake isn't scary; what's embarrassing is actually making one. If you really make a mistake, it just means you're not good enough. If you're not good enough, practice more; if you're not good enough, don't try. There's always a way to make a mistake.

If the entire circle is truly incompetent, then there's no point in its existence.

It's impossible to completely eliminate lip-syncing when most people who are afraid of making mistakes and taking risks come together.

But obviously.

This performance, once it opens up new possibilities, will at least within a limited scope, make live performances the next big thing and a brand new trend.

Interests are shared by all.

Lip-syncing is supported by a group of people with vested interests, but these people also encroach on the interests of others through their unbridled lip-syncing.

Will those who sing live lose opportunities because of these people? Will they feel it's unfair? Will they look down on these people?

The answer is yes.

After reading this.

Some bigwigs known for singing live and who had serious conflicts with those who profited from lip-syncing immediately realized this was an opportunity.

Let's be the first to charge!
Forty-nine-year-old veteran singer Chan Ting-chung from the Hong Kong entertainment circle immediately started writing promotional articles for his social media accounts.

The show wasn't even over when I started writing!
[A live performance that went entirely off-key resulted in a farcical show, completely exposing the shady dealings within the entertainment industry!]

Chan Ting-chung was once an artistic youth in the Hong Kong entertainment circle.

Although there is a serious problem of lip-syncing in the Hong Kong music scene, the singers who can truly stand out all have excellent live performance skills.

The stark contrast of this performance immediately reminded Chen Dingsong of the countless epic battles he witnessed back then.

The world seems to be a circle, and at this moment, the loop is complete.

"Eat bananas, basil, and your family will be rich!"

Chen Jingsong started writing a short essay while cursing and swearing.

[Since when has live performance ability ceased to be a strict requirement for a singer, or even a necessary condition for becoming a singer? Is this due to technological advancements, or to musicians' increasingly lowered standards?]

[Just one instance of singing live can cause a gala to flop like a massive multi-vehicle collision on a highway?!]

[If it weren't for the DP band, Lin Xin, and Huang Jin, this performance would have been a veritable cesspool. Even Zhao Ru, who is unremarkable and quite ordinary, stood out like a crane among chickens, exceptionally outstanding.]

[We can't seem to be too harsh on internet celebrities, young idols, and online personalities. But the question is, who exactly is putting these people on the big stage of music? And why are there so few true singers on that stage?]

Are there very few singers who oppose lip-syncing?
Not a bit less!!
The entire music scene is supported by these truly talented singers, but how many of these truly talented singers can help but feel dissatisfied when faced with so-called "singers" who are deceitful and fake?

They just don't say it!

In the past, it might have just been people with connections, but later, many popular young male celebrities gained attention.

Now?

Even internet celebrities on social media are thinking of getting a piece of the music scene by lip-syncing.

This performance not only sparked dissatisfaction among the audience, but also among many singers!

The show is over.

But the storm seemed to have just begun.

The internet is in an uproar!

#How could such a diverse cast of characters appear at a single performance?!#
#A disastrous day for the charlatans in the entertainment industry!#
The comments section was even more fascinating.

The surge in attention led to a surge in views of the performance clips, further boosting their popularity and causing them to spread like wildfire!

This is the most outrageous gala I've ever seen in my life.

[Without speaking on the same stage, I'll never know how far the distance is between the ceiling and the deep pit.]

Tonight's performance was absolutely amazing! There were two people, one a god, the other a god among gods, and the rest were completely inhuman.

[I was so angry I laughed.]

At this moment, the forum "[Melodious Xia Kingdom]" was incredibly lively.

Tonight's main character is none other than Wang Fusheng, who once criticized Li Can.

In countless posts, Wang Fusheng is hurling insults as usual, but this time there is no theoretical basis; he is simply venting his emotions.

[Li Can and his band, Structure, have reached the pinnacle of success, and everyone here bears an undeniable responsibility for that!]

【Singing live is no good? Where did they pick up this bunch of trash?! If you can't sing, shut up!】

Is it because Li Can and his group are strong? No! It's because everyone else is too weak! If even Li Can is praised, then the music industry is truly hopeless!

His eloquent words told everyone.

Wang Fusheng may have gone mad.

They completely ignored the fact that Li Can was just a drummer, and the real singer was someone else.

They've started spouting nonsense with apparent logic and evidence.

Some musicians laughed and couldn't help but make a joke.

[Hey Lao Wang, why are you so agitated? Didn't you look down on Li Can? How come you're now admitting that Li Can and his band are the best?]

Wang Fusheng replied immediately.

Even through the comments, you can almost see Wang Fusheng breaking down.

[Screw you, I may look down on Li Can, but I also look down on these fake singers! What kind of rubbish are they singing?! If they were human, I'd eat a pound of shit on live stream!!]

I was shocked that Wang Fusheng, at such an advanced age, still had such advanced internet slang.

However, musicians also couldn't help but admire Wang Fusheng.

Although he still refuses to admit that Li Can is facing reality, he stubbornly refuses to admit it.

But after all, he criticizes everyone.

Perhaps one could question his backwardness, question his musical level, or even question his excessive subjectivity.

But at least it proves that Wang Fusheng wasn't a complete idiot.

[Okay, Old Wang is a real man.]

[He laughed, but Old Wang remained silent, merely showing equal discrimination against everyone.]

It was at this time.

An ID that hadn't been seen in a long time but was still widely known posted a comment.

This immediately ignited the emotions in the comments section.

"Volcano Bro": [Old Wang is right.]

Seeing this ID and this comment.

Countless musicians were stunned.

This is actually Lee Chan himself!
I rubbed my eyes, afraid I was seeing things.

But upon closer inspection, it's true!
Li Can rarely appears on the forum, but no one would not recognize such a prominent figure.

The musicians who were commenting felt like they'd never experienced anything so surreal before; it was the first time they'd ever seen two sworn enemies on the forum find common ground.

Available in the next second.

The constantly evolving dialogue between the two broke the atmosphere, leaving the musicians in awe.

Wang Fusheng: [What about you?]

Volcano Bro: [Has it acted up again? Started barking.]

Wang Fusheng: [Fuck you, you idiot.]

Volcano Bro: [Rebound.]

Wang Fusheng: [You think you can just retaliate? I'll fuck you! How childish!]

Volcano Bro: [Hehe.]

"Hahahahaha!!"

I wonder how many musicians browsing the forum burst into laughter.

The oppressive feeling caused by the heavy consequences that would follow largely disappeared during these conversations.

However, after the laughter subsided...

But he remained even more silent.

The fact that two people with vastly different ideologies can come to a consensus indicates that there are bigger, more intolerable problems at hand.

This isn't about music; whether it's music or not is still a question.

It's not a question of right or wrong, but a question of truth or falsehood!
