They’re all reborn, what’s wrong with being a little more almighty?

Chapter 274: There is a cheat, so I don’t need to learn it myself? Are you stupid?

Seeing the promotional poster with the words "Soon Boys" written on it, Zhang Wei immediately understood what Lu Yunxiang was clamoring to participate in.

The Super Girl audition two years ago was clearly the culmination of domestic entertainment talent shows.

Super Girl is different from previous entertainment programs. Previous entertainment programs all had entry requirements, and basically all kinds of professionals performed on stage.

Super Girl is a talent show for the common people that allows anyone to sign up to participate, regardless of age, region, or appearance, as long as they are female and like to sing. This has directly brought ordinary people closer and instantly captured the hearts of the audience.

The method of deciding the advancement of contestants through SMS voting means that the results of the competition are no longer decided by the judges. The audience has become more involved in the program, and it has eventually formed a national trend and a carnival for the common people.

The 2007 Super Boy was the second success of the domestic talent show, and its popularity even exceeded that of the 2005 Super Girl.

This is mainly due to the development of the Internet, which has enabled the 2007 Super Boys to not only receive attention from television and print media, but also gain popularity on the Internet, which was something that the 2005 Super Girls did not receive.

In 2007, although there were no hot searches on Weibo, the publicity provided by online media could not be underestimated, especially for people aged to , for whom the Internet was their main channel for obtaining information. These people happened to be the main audience of talent shows.

Therefore, with the support of the Internet, the 2007 Super Boy competition had the highest ratings and was also hailed as the ceiling of domestic entertainment talent shows.

After that, there were several subsequent Super Girl and Fast Boy competitions, music talent shows such as "The Voice of China", training talent shows such as "Idol Producer", growth programs such as "Creation Camp", and PKs between powerful singers such as "Singer".

These programs are very popular and well-known, with billions of views on the Internet, but they can basically only be considered as going viral, and have not reached the level of mass participation and common people's carnival like the 2007 Super Boy.

It is clear that many programs in the future are scripted. From the mentors, to the judges, to the contestants, and even the audience, many people's expressions are designed, and even the champion is predetermined.

Some talent shows have become storytelling competitions. The actors are asked to sing well, but after singing they have to tell stories, and the storytelling has to be about how miserable they are. Add to that the fact that there are a few audience members in the audience who are crying miserably, and the Red Cross would be crying with envy just from this material!
Guests often ask some nonsensical questions, such as why do you want to participate. Isn't this bullshit? Of course, participating in the talent show is to become famous! If not for fame, who would participate in your crappy show?

If I like singing, I can go to KTV and sing. The manager will send a fruit plate for a day, and if you pay a little, there will be a young lady singing with you! The young lady is young, pretty and has a sweet voice. Isn't it better than the old faces of you judges?
Zhang Wei still remembers that in his previous life before his rebirth, during the summer vacation of 2007, he had just graduated and had not found a suitable job yet, so he stayed at home preparing for the civil service examination.

At that time, he was also a loyal audience of Super Boy and voted with his mobile phone during the live broadcast.

When the top 7 was promoted to the top 6, Zhang Wei thought Wang Lexin was very handsome and sent him a text message to steal his vote. As a result, Wang Lexin was eliminated.

When the team advanced from 6 to 5, Zhang Wei voted for Han Wangye again, but Han Wangye was eliminated in the top six.

5 advanced to 4. Zhang Wei felt that Ji Jie was very similar to Andy Lau and had the potential to become a superstar, so he gave Ji Jie a vote. In the final PK, Ji Jie lost to another brother Jie.

The other brother Jie was indeed very strong. When the top 4 advanced to the top 3, Zhang Wei decisively supported him. As a result, Brother Jie was PKed by Xiao Su.

3 advanced to 2. Zhang Wei voted for the handsome guy Wei Chen again, but the ones who finally advanced were Chen Liangju and Xiao Suzong, and the handsome guy was eliminated.

When it came to the finals, Zhang Wei sent a text message to vote for Xiao Suzong. As we all know, Chen Liangju lived up to the title of "Voice Rogue" and won the championship.

In other words, Zhang Wei's vote perfectly avoided all the qualified contestants. Whoever he voted for would be eliminated.

Recalling this, a faint smile appeared on Zhang Wei's face.

However, Ye Haotian, who was standing next to him, didn't know about "Hurry Up Boys". He asked, "What is this? It looks like a singing competition!"

"Brother Haotian, you know the Super Girl talent show, right? This 'Soon Come On Boy' is Super Boy, and it's also hosted by Xiaoxiang Satellite TV." Lu Yunxiang explained.

"Then why not just call him Super Male Voice?" Ye Haotian asked.

Lu Yunxiang shook his head: "I don't know about that. The organizers came up with the name. Whatever they thought of, that's it."

Zhang Wei explained: "Because the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television does not allow it. If it is called Super Boy, they will not give the approval document."

"Why not allow it?" Lu Yunxiang had a curious expression.

“I don’t know.” Zhang Wei shook his head and continued, “But I guess it’s because the Super Girls in the past two years were so popular that they had a huge impact across the country and gained a high level of social recognition.

As a regulatory agency, they probably don’t want the ‘Super’ brand to continue to be popular. They hope to regulate the cultural market from a macro perspective to achieve a balance, rather than allowing a single satellite TV station to dominate.”

"That makes sense." Ye Haotian nodded slightly, then looked at Lu Yunxiang and asked, "Xiao Lu, you want to participate in "Faster Boys", do you want to be a star?"

"Who didn't dream of becoming a star when they were a kid? Maybe I will be the next Jay Chou!" Lu Yunxiang said with a look of longing.

"That's impossible." Zhang Wei immediately poured cold water on him, and then said, "By the way, if you want to be a star, just ask your dad to invest in a few movies for you. Anyway, there are many coal bosses investing in movies these days. Why bother participating in this talent show with such an unlucky name?"

"That's true. I also think I'm more suitable for acting in kung fu movies." Lu Yunxiang nodded shamelessly.

"You, and you want to act in a Kung Fu movie? How are you going to get beaten?" Ye Haotian teased with a smile.

"Brother Haotian, don't underestimate me, I'm also a martial artist! My dad was afraid that I would be kidnapped by bad guys, so he hired a Sanda coach to teach me! I'm not bragging to you, I can beat ten people by myself!"

Lu Yunxiang said this and held up three fingers.

"You originally wanted to say that you can beat three people by yourself, right?" Ye Haotian pointed at the three fingers that Lu Yunxiang stretched out.

Being exposed by Ye Haotian, Lu Yunxiang felt a little embarrassed. He immediately changed the subject and asked, "Brother Wei, you just said that the name is unlucky. What's unlucky about the name "Faster Boys"?"

"The main problem is that the word 'fast' is not used well. When these four words 'thin, short, fast and soft' are paired with a boy, do you feel a strong sense of tragedy?" Zhang Wei asked with a smile.

"It seems a little bit." Lu Yunxiang frowned and thought for a while, then said, "No, 'thin, short and soft' is more tragic, I can understand that, but what's wrong with fast? This should be a positive word, right?"

"He wasn't talking about the frequency of exercise, but the duration," Ye Haotian explained.

"You see, it's your brother Haotian who has experience in this area and he understands it immediately." Zhang Wei said.

"Get lost! You are experienced, and yours is thin, short, fast and soft! Mine is thick, long, and hard!" Ye Haotian said proudly.

"Stop talking nonsense. You're the only one with the longest and thickest penis? We've been classmates for four years and we've peed together before. How can we not know each other's character?" Zhang Wei curled his lips.

Ye Haotian pouted and sat in a row with "One vs Ten", both of them feeling awkward.

Lu Yunxiang continued, "Brother, do you want to join me in the audition for the boys soon? Brother Haotian, I remember that you studied vocal music and sang at the New Year's Day Gala every year. Come with me!"

"I think it's a good idea. Since you have already decided to choose between Harvard and Yale, and you don't need to do an internship next semester, you might as well go and have some fun with Lu Yunxiang and relax." Zhang Wei encouraged.

"Yes, Brother Haotian, we can form a group to compete with Shuimu Nianhua! Then we will be the top music group in Tsinghua University!"

Lu Yunxiang looked excited and continued, "Brother Wei, why don't you come join us! The three of us are a group, what name should we give it? What do you think of the Boiling Boys? Does it make you feel like your blood is boiling?" "Yes, my blood is boiling, and it's almost cooked." Zhang Wei said.

"Brother, if you don't like it, then change it to Flying Boy, which will make it feel like an eagle soaring in the sky!" Lu Yunxiang continued.

"It would be better to call him Tengfei Boy, which is easier to pronounce than Feiteng Boy." Ye Haotian said from the side.

"What Haotian said makes sense. The Teng Fei Boys is easy to pronounce and has a good meaning. In English, it's called Teng Fei Boys, or TFboys for short!"

Zhang Wei, who was drinking water nearby, spat it all out in one gulp!
……

Lu Yunxiang opened his guitar bag and took out his guitar.

"Martin guitar, Xiao Lu, you are really a rich man!" Ye Haotian couldn't help but come closer.

"Brother, do you play guitar too?"

"Nonsense, you just said that I studied vocal music!" Ye Haotian continued: "I have never played a Martin guitar. The best one I played before was a Gibson."

"Is this Martin guitar good?" asked Zhang Wei, who knew nothing about guitars.

"I don't know if it's good or not, but this thing is expensive." Ye Haotian explained.

"Brother, how about you try my guitar first? This one is not made of mahogany, but spruce. The sound quality is quite unique." Lu Yunxiang explained.

"Then let me try!" Ye Haotian took the guitar and played a simple song.

"How is it? Not bad, right?" Lu Yunxiang said with a proud look on his face.

"The quality of the music is indeed better than Gibson's." Ye Haotian nodded.

"Wei Ge, do you want to try it?" Lu Yunxiang asked.

"I can't!" Zhang Wei replied.

"What?" Lu Yunxiang showed a surprised expression, then looked at Zhang Wei as if he was looking at a monster, and exclaimed: "Brother, I didn't expect there was something you didn't know!"

"Nonsense, I'm not Ye Haotian, who is proficient in everything from talking to learning to entertain and singing!"

"You're overthinking it. I can't tell crosstalk either," Ye Haotian corrected.

“Hahaha…” Lu Yunxiang laughed triumphantly: “Three years, I’ve been waiting for three full years! I’ve finally got my chance. Do you know how I’ve been through these three years?”

"If you have something to say, just say it. Don't act like Infernal Affairs here. You are not Tony Leung!" Zhang Wei said.

Lu Yunxiang continued, "I've waited for three years, and finally I got something that Wei Ge can't do, but I can! I'm so happy and feel so accomplished!"

"I'm afraid this kid is crazy!" Ye Haotian paused, and then said: "You said earlier that you wanted to find a sense of accomplishment! You are not very good at basketball, and your shooting is terrible, at least not as good as you."

"But he's accurate in predicting NBA championships! At the beginning of last season, he predicted that the Heat would win the championship. He was able to predict such an upset. Wei Ge must know a lot about basketball." Lu Yunxiang pointed at the guitar and said, "But playing the guitar is different. Wei Ge doesn't understand it at all!"

After Lu Yunxiang finished speaking, he actually carried the guitar on his back and said with a proud look on his face: "I will sing a song of Zhang Wei now to celebrate!"

"Zhang Wei's song? You can't even play the guitar, and you still have a song?" Ye Haotian looked curious.

"Xi shua shua, Xi shua shua, Xi shua shua! Oh oh!" Lu Yunxiang began to play and sing.

"You know what, it's really Zhang Wei's song." Ye Haotian echoed.

Zhang Wei pouted in displeasure, then said, "Ye Haotian, starting tomorrow, you have to teach me how to play the guitar! Otherwise, I'll have to watch this pretentious face every day!"

……

Ye Haotian was in the second semester of his senior year and had already decided to study for a master's degree in the United States, so he had basically nothing to do and started teaching Zhang Wei to play guitar in the dormitory.

“Guitar is actually an easy instrument to play.”

"It's not difficult for those who know how to play, but it's difficult for those who don't. If you can play the guitar, you must say that!"

"I'm telling the truth. You don't need much music theory knowledge to learn guitar. You can even get started without any basic knowledge. But your fingers may hurt a little at the beginning, but it will be fine once you get used to it. Of course, the most important thing is that you have met a good teacher like me. I promise that I will let you learn to play "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" before you go to the United States!"

Ye Haotian said as he stuffed the Martin guitar into Zhang Wei's hands, and said at the same time: "Let's start with the structure of the guitar. You are the most luxurious beginner to use a Martin guitar when you first start learning."

Ye Haotian is indeed a good teacher, and the guitar is really easy to learn. Zhang Wei can play different tones.

Next, he began to learn basic chords, and Zhang Wei also revealed his ordinary musical talent.

"These are the most basic chords, why haven't you learned them yet! Weren't you very smart when you were doing scientific research? How come you are just like an ordinary person when learning guitar?" Ye Haotian couldn't help but complain.

In Ye Haotian's opinion, the Great Devil should be extremely talented in all aspects, and should be able to learn something like guitar easily.

However, Zhang Wei's performance was completely unworthy of the title of "Big Devil", and instead he looked like a worthless loser.

"Could it be that you really have no musical talent? The most basic chords are so difficult for you. It will take you three months to learn the barre chord in the future?" Ye Haotian said to himself.

"What is a barre?" Zhang Wei asked.

"It's a closed chord, where you hold down all the strings on the first fret with your index, middle or ring finger. It's the first difficulty in learning guitar," Ye Haotian explained.

"Then what is the second difficulty?" Zhang Wei asked again.

"The chord transition is to switch to the next chord very quickly, which tests the flexibility and function of the left hand, as well as the proficiency in chords."

Ye Haotian paused, and then said: "If you don't have an explosive talent, you can only practice hard to solve these two difficulties I mentioned."

"Then how long did you study?" Zhang Wei asked again.

“For the barre chord, I practiced for about an hour every day, and I learned it in about a month. But I have learned other musical instruments before and have a vocal foundation, so I am faster than ordinary beginners,” Ye Haotian introduced.

"It takes a month for a genius like Ye Haotian to learn, so it will take me a year?" Zhang Wei sighed, rubbed his sore fingers, and thought to himself that he should just ask the devil to exchange!
I don't need to learn it myself if there is a cheat? Am I stupid?
