Entertainment: Is this how you play music?!

Chapter 418 "You know, I've always supported Brother Can."

When the last program was a joint performance by all the stars of "As You Wish," a song that had recently gone viral online and was also in line with the upcoming National Day theme.

The previous program became unusually sensitive.

In itself, a group of stars is definitely more grand than a solo performance, not to mention that this program also carries the mission of "elevating the theme of the gala".

A two-pronged approach is being adopted.

This requires performers to be able to connect the theme, concept, emotional transitions, and style of the work.

They also have to showcase the unique characteristics of each individual performance.

Can't do it?
If they can't deliver, they'll remain unknown and be forgotten. But if they do gain fame, they'll be heavily criticized for "below par," especially a legendary band like DP. If their performance lacks individuality, someone with ulterior motives can easily stir up controversy by saying things like "it was just going through the motions" or "it was a bit perfunctory for them."
Even if most netizens say something nice about DP, or don't dislike it, they will still think this way to some extent and have a certain inclination in their hearts.

In the industry, this is purely a thankless and arduous task.

but.
If everyone thinks it's a scam, then it really isn't.

It was an arrangement that anyone could sense was amiss.

No one would choose to use such an arrangement to play dirty tricks.

On the contrary, keeping a distance and avoiding suspicion is the most urgent task.

The entire team in charge of the "Stars" gala was filled with anxiety.

Anyone with a discerning eye in the industry can see that this show is in a very awkward position, and it's easy to be manipulated and fall into traps, almost always resulting in a fatal mishap.

If the performance is good, it's called stealing the show; if it's bad, it's called being perfunctory. If the theme is insufficient, it means the scope is too small. It fails to elevate the final program and create a contrast. If the theme is sufficient, regardless of whether it's abrupt or not, what do you mean by stealing the show?
Even in places without pits, you can successfully attack if you really want to.

Moreover, it's a place with a real, large pit.

But what really stumped the Stellaris team was that, in terms of skill, they really had to rely on Lee Chan.

"Sigh, only Li Can and his team can do this kind of work to such an extreme."

Director Wen was sighing, his expression complex.

Upon hearing this, Producer Li's throat moved slightly.

"But this location is a bit dangerous. I hope Li Can won't misunderstand and think we're hiding something?"

Director Wen's expression froze.

He hesitated for a long time before speaking, his tone hesitant, as if he himself lacked confidence.

"No way, I've really asked for an astronomical price. Such copyright and appearance fees have never been seen in the industry before. But considering it's ten million..."

"It's all because of ten million. Unsolicited favors are either malicious or theft."

Producer Li's eye roll almost knocked Director Wen's soul out of his body.

Why not invite Li Can?

This is a star-studded gala, featuring almost half of the music industry, and you're not inviting Li Can? Do you have a death wish?
You must ask.

But the problem came again.

What does it mean to only give a normal industry price? Is this considered the same level? Who are you insulting? Look at the consequences for Tencent next door and then look at yourself. In the entertainment industry, you can be clueless, but you can't be clueless in front of the big shots.

Giving money is just right; giving too little shows a lack of sincerity.

They offer a lot of money, but if you encounter a scam like this, then they're probably up to no good.

"Maru spicy!"

Director Wen is in his forties or fifties this year, and it's been a long time since he felt like crying as much as he did today.

I don't know why, perhaps it's because many old graves are still vivid in my mind.

Once Li Can is involved, this paranoia instantly reaches an advanced stage.

Li Can was unaware that Director Wen, Producer Li, and indeed the entire entertainment industry were also unaware of this.

Unconsciously, a cognitive formula was engraved in my mind.

[Li Can = God, but a plague god. He's definitely not a god if you don't invite him, but if you do, he might randomly pick a lucky person and kill them with a bang.]

"Let's see how the performance goes first."

Director Wen sighed.

In the current situation, all we can do is pray that Li Can is willing to cooperate and work diligently on the transition, while I will do everything in my power to avoid any possible negative consequences.

After all, even Director Wen couldn't guarantee that there wouldn't be some idiot in this industry who would actually take their pants off in such an obvious trap.

What if some loser who wanted to participate but didn't get to just secretly do something stupid?

But Director Wen's idea was very good.

Li Can, however, did not think so.

Forget about scams and money.

The important thing is whether you do it or not!
Director Wen was afraid that Li Can would misunderstand.

But Li Can didn't even think about it.

Even though he knew this was not an easy job, and even though he knew there was a lot of drama going on here, Li Can was fearless.

fighting! Cool!

No one to fight?

Then fight against the air, fight against yourself.

Even if you slap yourself twice, it's still a fight.

Performance.

That's the feeling I'm going for—to be completely immersed in the stage, regardless of any other external factors.

After Li Can gathered the entire band together to discuss the upcoming "All Stars" performance and excitedly shared his thoughts,

Lin Feng was truly dumbfounded.

"Li Can, what kind of super-heroic musician are you?!"

"Did the drumming give you hallucinations? Was it the drumming or the skull?"

The song "As You Wish" avoids being sentimental in the middle and later sections; instead, it needs to express resilience and strength.

But the overall style is actually more lyrical.

And what works did Li Can choose?

It's not even rock and roll.

Even for live band performances, many details need to be changed compared to previous rock performances.

That was so hot it could run 365 miles, and Ningmgefu headed straight for the Golden Tree.

"Stop talking, Brother Feng."

Zhao Ze shook his head and tugged at Lin Feng's sleeve.

Lin Feng turned his head and saw Zhao Ze's meaningful eyes.

Zhao Ze glanced at Li Can, sighed, and shook his head.

"Brother Can hasn't wrestled with Sister Winnie for almost two months. Nobody's messing with him, and there's nothing to kick him. All that burning passion has been poured into his music performance."

"Didn't you notice? There's only a craving for violence in Chan-ge's eyes."

Lin Feng was stunned.

He took a closer look at Li Can, then looked at Zhao Ze.

Zhao Ze's serious expression seemed to say, "What if he kicks you if you don't let him vent his anger?"

Li Can smiled and acted normally, remaining as calm as ever.

Even though nothing seemed different, Lin Feng still felt a chill run down his spine after Zhao Ze said that.

His eyes quickly cleared, as if responding to Zhao Ze's gaze.

"understood."

"You don't know anything."

Li Can laughed in exasperation.

This is not because Li Can has violent tendencies or craves fighting.

It's simply because this gala is packed with stars!
As DP's skill level continues to rise, the thrill of challenges they bring is diminishing.

It's the same principle as eating spicy food. The more you eat, the spicier you can be. The spicier you can be, the higher your requirements for spiciness will be, and the threshold for stimulation and pleasure will become more and more outrageous.

Playing against someone might be like stomping a noob.

What if we fight a group of them?
The thrill of mowing down enemies is better than the satisfaction of crushing noobs.

Moreover, there are genuinely contestants in the music industry who can put pressure on you. Who knows if a contestant with strong singing skills might suddenly have an off-the-charts performance and unleash a sudden, unpredictable attack?

"Don't worry about whether I'm Chao Xiong or not. I'm here to ask for your opinions. This is what I think, but it doesn't mean we have to do it this way. We're a team, so please share your thoughts and opinions as well!"

Li Can's words caused everyone to exchange glances.

Especially Lin Feng and Zhao Ze.

These two are the ones I talk about the most, but these two are the ones whose eyes are actually sparkling with desire.

Oh no, have I caught it?

Lin Feng's heart skipped a beat, and then a sense of excitement surged into his heart.

"You know, I agree with Chan-ge's decision."

"."

Zhao Ze's eye twitched.

"I agree." "Me too."

"Hiss, 'Born Stubborn,' this time he's truly stubborn."

Not a family, do not enter the door.

Why not prepare a stimulating song for a complete emotional release?

Ultimately, it doesn't matter whether people cooperate or not.

the first.

This is not an official, serious gala; it's a completely entertainment-oriented gala.

The event organizers simply wanted to elevate the event's message, leveraging the influence of celebrities and infuse it with positive energy to garner favor.

second.

In the music industry, being bad at performing is the original sin.

When someone is trying to outdo you, you can never say it's because they're not cooperating; you can only blame yourself for being incompetent.

Nothing to be concerned about.

As Li Can said.

Just do it and it's done.

The most important thing is to let your emotions and passion run wild and bring a great experience to the audience.

then.

After the DP band collectively finalized their performance repertoire, they began meticulous refresher training.

Li Can also handed over the song he would perform to the "Stars" program team through Wang Yongchang.

When Director Wen received the program details for the DP band's performance, he breathed a sigh of relief, but his mindset also exploded in a completely different direction.

He was initially worried that Li Can might think he was setting him up.

What's worrying now is that Li Can's song choice has backfired.

As the head of the main team for the gala, Director Wen has an extremely high sensitivity to music.

I knew something was very wrong after just the first three seconds.

Yes.

35453.

The smooth road suddenly became undulating, and the bright piano gave the prelude a touch of magnificence.

Once the instrumentation started, the feeling of exploding with excitement was exactly the same as the song playing in my earphones.

It clearly features multi-track electronic sound effects; let alone not being rock, this is not a song that any serious band would choose.

"What a mess!"

Director Wen couldn't hold back anymore.

It wasn't a problem with the song's style or the performance technique; after all, that's something Li Can needed to consider.

It's mainly this emotion.

That's absolutely outrageous!

If you finish this song, it's not good for the whole show to go on forever!
I thought Li Can would be unhappy, but he wasn't.

It's just that they've thrown the exact same headache-inducing problem back at them, switching the roles of offense and defense.

Like a Sigma man who never falls into the self-justification trap, choosing to attack directly when faced with doubts.

It's too ridiculous.

"."

Listen carefully and attentively.

Director Wen couldn't help but sigh that this wasn't really a difficult situation, because the song surprised him far more than he had imagined.

Let alone being annoyed by Li Can's behavior of playing with explosives.

Listening to the song, I not only immediately felt sorry for Li Can, but also felt a faint sense of respect rising in my heart.

This is outrageous.

"Hey, Li Can, you son of a bitch."

Director Wen laughed in exasperation, but he was genuinely impressed.

Some people, even when they're just producing something normal, can put immense pressure on others. Others, even if you think they're nitpicking, make you appreciate how good their "nitpicking" is, and you can't bear to refuse it.

It was unexpected, but Director Wen was prepared.

After all, the performance position previously assigned to Li Can was indeed the most difficult one to secure, so it's no wonder that Li Can had some competitive thoughts.

Taking out this song clearly demonstrates a stubbornness, just like its title suggests.

Chun Chun just wanted to confront them head-on, so she can't blame them.

"I think I understand now."

Now that things have come to this, Director Wen naturally understands Li Can's inner thoughts.

There was definitely no dissatisfaction; Li Can hadn't thought that far ahead.

However, it is clear that Li Can prefers "confrontational cooperation" in artistic performance when it comes to cooperation.

For example, violin performance accompanied by piano.

The vulgar performers lacked coordination, resulting in a terrible performance.

The performers worked well together, but the dramatic tension was poor.

Top performers, on the other hand, will engage in a competitive collaboration, creating a highly exciting and dynamic performance.

"In that case, Li Can and his team's program is not suitable to be placed second to last."

Director Wen frowned deeply.

After careful consideration, he made a phone call to producer Li.

He explained the matter in detail.

After hearing Director Wen's description of the matter and receiving the performance from Li Can, I listened to it twice in person.

Only then did he signal Director Wen to speak again.

As soon as he opened his mouth, Director Wen's tone became very serious.

"I have a bold idea."

"."

Producer Li was taken aback.

My eyelids started twitching uncontrollably.

"Say!"

"Since Li Can really enjoys competitive performances that enhance the overall excitement, why not put him in the last program? The previous one is a group performance by a group of stars, where he can stand out from the crowd and become the main focus, which would elevate the excitement level significantly."

Director Wen's words were like a thunderclap.

The deep-fried food left Producer Li charred on the outside and tender on the inside, leaving him feeling dizzy and disoriented.

“I know this is a bold move, and it's not guaranteed that other artists will be able to pull it off, but the DP band is very strong and will definitely be able to handle it. Moreover, given their status in the international music scene, they can also suppress other stars and prevent any dissatisfaction.”

"Furthermore, both works have profound themes and can interact with each other, so theoretically there is no problem."

"."

After Director Wen finished speaking.

There was a long silence on the phone.

Then came a somewhat dry voice.

Producer Li's pricking technique created a granular texture through friction.

"Your idea is a bit too bold."

"."

Obviously.

If it's arranged this way...

That is, after the performance, the host stood up to give a National Day greeting and led the stars to sing together.

Immediately, amidst the most turbulent atmosphere in the audience, the DP band's performance ignited the crowd, suddenly capsizing all the emotional boats.

It even evokes a sense of stress relief and release, like the moment you break open a jar of New Year's money.

This emotional arrangement is exactly as Producer Li said.

It's difficult, it's daring, it's a high-stakes gamble.

But think about it.

This is Li Can, this is Devil Power.

"."

Producer Li forced out two words through gritted teeth.

"Done!"
