It's hard to be an idol

Chapter 167 The Last Issue
The mutual listening session of the demo in the last phase was also much less explosive than the previous ones. Although everyone did not have any explosive atmosphere before, this time there was no pressure from competition. Huo Zun who was behind was the first person to eat crabs this time, and Xu Lai was ranked sixth.

I have filmed six episodes with Xu Lai, and everyone has a preliminary understanding of the quality of Xu Lai's songs. Every time we listen to each other's demos, everyone is looking forward to Xu Lai's new works. After all, look at Xu Lai's songs. The trend of the new album's chart slaughter, not to mention the ranking or not, anyway, if it sounds good, it's over if it's great.

"Hmm... Everyone really has nothing to compare with today. In fact, I did compare with others before, but I still have a little bit of desire to win. Today's words... just sing about your own feelings."

"This song is called "Rise". I've been writing it for a while, and I actually wrote another song, but I feel that this song is more suitable... emmmmm, you'll know it after listening to it."

The behind-the-scenes demo remembered that Xu Lai's singing was inserted into the rhythm in a timely manner.

"We're gonna ri-ri-ri-ri-rise 'til we fall
We are soaring to the sky, no one can match
They say we got no no no no future at all
They say we have no future

They wanna ke-ke-keep us out, can't hold us down anymore
They're trying to kill us but we're unstoppable"

"Okay, gone."

Xu Lai is like a little fox as always, showing a little bit of the finished song, allowing everyone to guess freely and look forward to his next stage.

But other people seemed to be more interested in what he said, and asked him there as soon as they entered the studio.

"These lines of this song seem to be dissing someone, right? You said this song is more suitable, meaning it is more suitable for public performances? Then what is your other song like? Is it sharper? "Hu Yanbin was particularly interested, and asked Xu Lai directly.

"It's not sharp, it's just more straightforward. It feels... a little bit unsuitable for me to sing now, and I should have a chance to sing in the future."

Xu Lai explained "Look At Me Now" in this way. In fact, he thinks that the first line of the lyrics should be sung after he has become famous and slightly recognized (referring to winning) to be more convincing.

"Very good, the vigor of young people haha~~" That's why Xu Lai and Zheng Jun called it the vigor of young people. If someone else said it, it might be called "inflated".

It's the kind that wants to fly to the sky to herd sheep.

……

After the demo mutual listening, the eight singer-songwriters were divided into two groups, Xu Lai, Zheng Jun, Liang Bo, and Wang Sulong, and Chen Li, Huo Zun, Hu Yanbin, and Sun Yizhou. It is based on average age, not average strength.

But it doesn't matter how they are grouped, it's just a good performance on the stage for the last time.

Xu Lai was elected to be the last contestant to appear on the stage. It seems that the members wanted him to take over the field, and he was fighting against Huo Zun from another group. Zun matched up, but in the last round, he matched up with Huo Zun. There is something.

On Huo Zun's side, he was very optimistic, he didn't care about winning or losing anyway, just enjoy the stage and it's over, he explained this way for his voluntary stage battle.

"It's the last time. It's quite okay to fight Xiaolai. Although winning or losing is not important, but I didn't compete with him alone. It's good to compare and see the difference."

"This time, either I will kill myself to let Xiao Lai prove the position of the Great Demon King, or the brave will defeat the evil dragon hahahaha~ Is it a bit of a second-guess to say so?"

"Anyway, that's what it means. Compare with Xiao Lai. After all, this is the last stage of the show."

Huo Zun has said so, and other singers and composers will naturally not compete with him.

In the last game against Huo Zun, he attached great importance to it, and he showed all his strength. The ancient style of a rather fairy-like song made the audience feel that "the familiar Huo Zun is back", and his singing skills were impeccable. A little bit of aesthetic fatigue, but the song is still nice, there's nothing to say.

When it was Xu Lai's turn to take the stage, cheers started automatically from below the stage, and Xu Lai also smiled and waved to the audience below the stage.

"Hello everyone, I'm Xu Lai, a singer-songwriter. Today, I want to sing my own thoughts for everyone."

"It's only been five months since I debuted, but I've heard all kinds of things. At the beginning of my debut, those who looked down and looked down were the most, and it was basically my daily life during that time. It's okay to say it. I don't want to win everyone's sympathy, because I am doing very well now, much better than I imagined."

"Actually, I didn't suffer much. My parents love me, my friends care about me, and even a group of people gathered behind me to support me. It feels pretty good, but I still remember the bad things before. , after all, this will make me cherish the present even more."

"This song "Rise" is for you all. I hope that you will not be looked down upon by others and doubt what you are doing. To borrow a famous advertising slogan, Just do it! I hope Nike will not charge me copyright fees."

Xu Lai's last witty remark made everyone laugh for a while, and then the rhythm of music sounded on the stage.

……

"When we hit the bottom, nothin' gon' stop us
Are we bottoming out and bouncing back?
Climb to the top with you
with you to the top of the world
We could be the greatest, ones who never made it
We will be peerless and invincible

Ya I could be talking to you
i want to tell you

They tryna hate hate hate
villain jealous
But we won't change, change anything at all
And we won’t change one bit because of them.”

……

"thank you all."

After singing such a diss-like song, Xu Lai's expression softened after the stage ended, with a smile on his face, and he walked off the stage to wait for the voting results.

This time, Xu Lai was still the winner, defeating Huo Zun by eleven votes, and their team also won the "Singer-Composer" finals. Except for Wang Sulong, the other three They all won, the accumulated votes were higher than the combination of Hu Yanbin and Chen Li, and finally won.

In fact, it doesn’t matter whether you take it or not. After the stage, everyone walked backstage together, chatting about the stage just now, the future after that, or agreeing to contact and communicate more in the future. Everyone was so lively that it seemed like Different people are common.

Probably adults like to use excitement to cover up the sadness of parting, so no one has the slightest sadness, everyone is smiling, and the car guide is the one who laughs the happiest.

"It's okay for everyone to drink a little wine today, right? This time it's a wrap-up banquet. I hope everyone's music will be better and better in the future, and then... I won't talk too much, the feelings are all in the wine. Drink!"
