Entertainment: Is this how you play music?!

Chapter 399 The struggle for the crown prince has always been like this.

As Zhao Ze said, "Stronger" is not suitable for adaptation into a dance/singing song.

However, it would be perfect for square dancing or DJing because the rhythm of the whole song is very simple.

Move and hit.

In contrast, the music design of dance and singing works is generally very fancy and varied in rhythm.

For professional dance troupes, they don't mind if your rhythm is fancy, but they do mind if your rhythm is simple.

It's difficult to execute precise timing maneuvers.

The rhythm is highly repetitive, which can easily lead to aesthetic fatigue if visualized. Even if Okali dances well, has good breath control, and achieves a perfect balance, the performance can still easily become mediocre under such characteristics.

However, this variety show does not emphasize any particular fixed performance style.

Whether it's singing and dancing, singing with accompaniment, or even no one singing, only four words stand out.

[Musical Performance]

Singing and dancing are just a medium; the purpose is to complete a musical performance.

Music performance encompasses a wide range of skills, including music, vocal music, instrumental music, dance, conducting, and acting.

Even if it's just playing a DJ set, as long as it's real, it's still considered a qualified musical performance.

Singing and dancing are essentially about using dance to visualize music.

However, most mainstream singing and dancing works on the market currently emphasize the visualization of rhythm, rather than anything else.

"Stronger" is not really suitable for singing and dancing.

But it is definitely suitable for arranging musical performances.

Perhaps because she has dealt with so many people with outrageous ideas, Okali is not bound by the conventional mindset of "singing and dancing".

Traditional singing and dancing.

They need to express music through dancing to share the pressure of singing and enhance the rhythm.

In this situation, further stimulating emotions and power cannot rely on rhythm, but only on sound effects.

Oklahoma thought differently.

The rhythm is too flat and simple, just a bunch of beats and beats throughout the whole thing.

From another perspective, isn't this a kind of reinforcement of emotions and power?
The only difference is that it has changed from being based on sound effects to being based on rhythm.

On the contrary, it can better clear the sound effects range, leaving more space for human voices.

Okali creates unique visual effects through expressions, postures, frozen movements, and large groups of dancers, turning the weakness of a steady rhythm into an advantage.

Compared to previous programs.

Okali also used a trick, it was just a fancy move, but the tricks that pros use are definitely different from the tricks that kids use, and they require extremely high base stats.

"."

Lin Xin was numb.

In fact, Lin Xin had also prepared a trick.
-
Everything was done.

Originally, everyone thought that the opponent's skills were very strong and the stats were very high, so I had to use a cheat today.

Although I may be a realm behind, how would you deal with my Great Wilderness Imprisoning Heaven Finger?

Okay, upon meeting, I discovered that the other side had unleashed a Buddha's Fury Lotus.

The consequence of everyone using tricks is that, in the end, it still becomes a contest of inner strength.

"That's absolutely outrageous."

Lin Xin muttered under her breath. Even someone as calm as Lin Xin couldn't help but want to spit out something in this kind of infighting.

"Oh, that's normal."

Zheng Jie pursed his lips, equally speechless.

He glanced at Huang Ya, whose brows were furrowed, and couldn't help but sigh.

"Hey, that's always how the struggle for the crown prince position is."

"Haha, interesting."

Li Jianwei didn't have anything to complain about and nodded happily.

Having achieved fame and success, why would someone still participate in a performance? Isn't it just to experience a real stage?

For Li Jianwei, who has retired and whose artistic attainments have returned to simplicity, the performance itself is more important than any face, reputation, or status.

Huang Ya could perhaps manage a wry smile.

But the only one who couldn't laugh was probably Jiang Youzhen.

She appeared on stage right behind Oklahoma.

The content of the work is singing and dancing.

If the Youth Edition and the Flagship Edition are priced the same, then there's a huge problem.

Before going on stage, Jiang Youzhen only had two words in her mind.

【Mouth balls are spicy! 】

Of course, now that things have come to this, dwelling on these things will not be of any use.

After all, Kang Yoo-jin has undergone intensive training, so she certainly has enough resilience to handle pressure as a well-known celebrity.

Since my head is already buzzing, I might as well just not use my brain.

I walked onto the stage with an empty mind, leaving everything to my dear muscle memory.

This state is very similar to the extreme focus and complete immersion of the flow state. Although it is not driven by internal motivation, but by external factors that cause one to ignore the surrounding environment, it does improve concentration considerably.

The performance flowed very smoothly.

As originally planned, with the broken beat of the intro, the team ran to the stage and took their positions, and then began singing and dancing.

Kang Yoo-jin, who was in the center position, was responsible for all the rap and vocal parts, which put her under even more pressure than idol groups who sing and dance.

Compared to other contestants, Jiang Youzhen's strength is somewhat unremarkable.

Under the pressure of a performance with a heavy information load, even when passively focusing, one may feel somewhat overwhelmed.

My breath control was very erratic when I sang, but fortunately I didn't lose rhythm during the rap. I cracked a little while rapping, but at least I didn't go off-key during the singing parts.

If it's just about singing, then let alone comparing him to the other singers on the same stage, he might not even rank among the top in the entire Chinese music scene. But at the very least, he didn't sing off-key, his voice was decent, his rhythm was steady, and his breath control wasn't too bad.
The dance was indeed quite impressive.

Okali's dance style leans more towards urban choreography with hip-hop and jazz elements, emphasizing a sense of dynamism and passion.

The choreography prepared by Jiang Youzhen is swag, using the varied rhythms of hip-hop music as the basis for its choreography, playing with small, textured movements of the body.

The stark difference in style is a blessing in disguise.

He was killed, but it seems he wasn't killed too badly, like a murder.

The effect was surprisingly good; at least it wasn't made to look terrible by comparison.

Halfway through the performance, the live chat started.

[It's rather unremarkable; comparisons really do make it worse.]

After watching so many amazing performances, I suddenly feel a bit bored.

That's what they say, but it's actually not bad.

Honestly, this level of performance would be considered quite good on other stages, but it just feels out of place here.

It's not quite what Jiang Youzhen thought.

While netizens offered sharp criticism, most showed little dissatisfaction, a stark contrast to their initial outrageous reaction upon seeing excrement on the Glory stage.

After all, such a performance wouldn't be possible without the support of a big name.
They could definitely market a topic about the "veteran skills" of singing and dancing idols, allowing younger generations to learn from them and making it a topic of conversation among fans.

However, even the sharp comments circulating online these days have satisfied the fans. They're not exactly laughing, but they're not crying either.

Criticism is one thing, but at least it shouldn't be a full-blown outburst. A little criticism doesn't count as criticism, and not criticizing at all is a victory.

at this time.

The benefits of conservative marketing have been demonstrated once again. Fans haven't gone completely crazy.

Thank you everyone for your guidance. I believe my brother will work even harder!

[She's really improved! Jiang Jiang should definitely learn from her seniors.]

Yes, yes, this kind of stage experience is so rare; it can even transform a person.

In response to this.

Few netizens could continue to pester him.

A few internet sentiment bugs won't cause much of a stir, so let's leave them aside for now.

Even those netizens who initially praised it as "the only true history" and "pure history" felt somewhat embarrassed after seeing these fans' comments.

At least they won't resort to blatant attacks or continue to make statements like "This is history."

Even Jiang Youzhen herself didn't expect it.

I took a gamble, and damn it, we tied.

Neither won nor lost.

I originally thought it was a matter of one thought leading to heaven or hell, but I never expected it to be right here on earth.

It's unlikely that one can transform from an idol into a performer with real talent on this stage.

You can't build strength just by having it.

But at least removing the "idol" label, or managing fans well and maintaining a low profile while gaining some positive reputation, is definitely possible!
Even the criticisms and nitpicking from viewers on the internet are mostly positive. At least, no one is comparing Kang Yoo-jin to other idols anymore.

They're not on the same level.

Even if they were instantly killed by the Ancient Gods, they were still on the same battlefield as the Ancient Gods, in a truly brutal war, not just some village brawl between idol groups.

"So what if it's Egypt? It's already like this, I'm just here to get beaten up!"

Kang Yoo-jin, who was the only one who couldn't laugh at first, actually laughed after the performance.

It's like someone who's lost their mind.

"Hehehe."

Keep a calm mind.

After the performance, Jiang Youzhen felt as if the world had suddenly become vast and boundless.

After stepping off the stage, they didn't rush to leave, but instead watched attentively as Mr. Li Jianwei's performance was about to begin.

Carefully observe how you get beaten up.

It differs from other players in terms of stats, mechanics, and tactics.

As a senior member of the national team, Li Jianwei's musical performance style naturally leans towards serious music, without any unnecessary elements. He found his former piano accompanist and performed a simple and unadorned art song.

It's all about skill; it's only reflected in his singing ability.

This understated elegance, achieved through simplicity, makes a significant contribution to the balance of the stage.

Teacher Li Jianwei's choice of music was "The Phoenix Hairpin," which Han Jiayin had performed as her master's degree graduation piece.

The male version has an even more outrageous level of penetration.

Even from a distance from the microphone, one can still witness the power of the microphone. If the mouth is less than 30 centimeters away from the microphone, it can be quite alarming to see if there will be any popping or feedback noise.

Springtime remains the same, but the person is wasted away.

This contrasts sharply with the intense singing and dancing.

The veteran's skill is fully demonstrated in his exceptional stage presence.

This goes beyond simply controlling one's own performance.

Compared to the intense back-and-forth battles between Li Can and Okali, where they seemed to want to strangle each other, Li Jianwei completely demonstrated what it means to receive care from a senior.

Even in supporting Jiang Youzhen's performance style, the performance was simple and unpretentious, without too many obvious technical tricks. While it was outstanding, it did not overshadow Lin Xin, who sang a technically demanding song.

"Wrong, wrong, wrong."

Li Jianwei's performance left Lin Xin, who was the next to appear, completely in awe.

Just because the audience can't see it doesn't mean the performers don't understand the teacher's intention.

Hidden beneath the expression of beauty lies a profound and delicate technique.

Lin Xin was moved to tears.

On this stage, Li Jianwei's presence is like that of a kind old father, caring for his children in every way.

Ah! This is music!

[That was great! I feel so much better right now.]

I prefer this one; it's so flavorful.

The barrage of comments is sped up.

The performance had reached its eighth act and was nearing its end.

Only Lin Xin and Huang Ya have not yet taken the stage.

But the audience didn't get bored at all; their enthusiasm remained undiminished, and they even felt a little reluctant to leave as the performance was about to end.

This stage, in the eyes of the audience, truly lives up to its name.

The Stage of the King

This is not a battle for supremacy, but a chaotic battle between kings.

From ballads to folk songs, to rock, and then to incomprehensible avant-garde performances, the styles of singing and dancing are vastly different. Now, returning to art songs, even among similar singing and dancing and rock performances, they are completely different in style and form.

It encompasses almost every musical performance that audiences can think of, and even surpasses it!

The show's lowest point, with its completely unknown Qian Hao and seemingly unreliable idol Jiang Youzhen, still delivers a performance quality that rivals the upper limits of some second-rate music variety shows.

The king, queen, and bomb are never defused; they keep exploding one after another.

The enthusiasm that such a performance can ignite among the audience is unimaginable.

After Li Jianwei's performance ended, Lin Xin's technically brilliant song once again ignited the atmosphere.

The stage design, featuring a fairy tale theme and comics, was accompanied by Lin Xin's unique voice during the performance.

The accompaniment was provided by a small chamber orchestra.

With Li Jianwei's deliberate setup, even though the entire performance was full of highlights for most of the audience, Lin Xin's dazzling skills still managed to shine.

Following closely behind was Huang Ya's pop music performance, accompanied by musicians provided by the company, mainly responsible for the drum set, guitar, piano, and a string section consisting of four violins, one double bass, and two cellos.

After the technically impressive song.

Huang Ya returns to the emotional elements of pop music.

Firstly, it echoes Zheng Jie's pop ballad at the beginning. Secondly, the contrast between the minimalist to the heavy accompaniment arrangement, the difference between male and female voices, and the intensity of emotional expression, as well as the difference between calmness and passion, can also create a contrast.

It might not be considered a completely sublime, divine ending.

But it was definitely a top-notch performance, fulfilling its mission of bringing the show to a perfect close.

After the performance officially ended and the live stream began reviewing the highlights, many netizens finally realized what had happened.

【Gaia!!】

【Huh?! That's it!?】

[Holy crap! I haven't had enough! Can we have some more?!]

[This is infuriating! How am I supposed to watch other music variety shows now?]

I'm giving you one day to cut out the full version; I absolutely can't wait.

【Ugh!! Why not just make it a variety show? I fucking want to see the rerun! Are there any experts who have recorded it? Hurry up and finish editing the video and upload it!!】

The end of the wonderful performance seemed to be just the beginning of the audience's complete release of enthusiasm.

The surge in online discussion turned tonight into a sleepless night.
