I really don't want to be the top streamer anymore

Chapter 177 I’m not your buddy, but you’re showing off to me?
Although Yang Jiangjie is indeed a newcomer, the album that has received the most votes for the best album of the year so far this year is indeed his first album released this year.

It is precisely because the performance was too brilliant.

Therefore, various marketing accounts, including music critics, will compare Xu Kong with Yang Jiangjie.

But on the other hand, Yang Jiangjie's fame and popularity are definitely not comparable to Xu Kong, who is currently at the peak of his career.

You can see it from those articles and videos.

Yang Jiangjie's name did not appear on it, but Xu Kong's photo or name was definitely placed on the most conspicuous cover and title.

There is no way, because Xu Kong is indeed the so-called traffic password.

Xu Kong could understand that considering Yang Jiangjie's current age and the fact that he had just graduated, it would be a good time for him to officially enter the entertainment industry and become a professional musician.

Not to mention Xu Kong, it is estimated that more than 99% of the people in the entire Chinese music scene are not in the other party's eyes.

But on the one hand, it's a bit uncomfortable for people to show it like this on the spot.

Xu Kong didn't tolerate it and said directly:
"In fact, even if I don't release an album this year, the result won't be so foregone, right?"

After hearing Xu Kong's words, Xie Yiman of course noticed something strange.

So he asked, "Is that the album you made for Su Zhi?"

Without waiting for Xu Kong to answer, she took the opportunity to change the subject.

"By the way, besides your fans online, there are also your CP fans."

"I also want to ask for them, Su Zhi and Song Youyou, who do you choose?"

When Yang Jiangjie spoke just now and showed a disdainful expression towards him, Xu Kong didn't take it seriously at all.

But at this moment, Xie Yiman's question almost made Xu Kong break out in a cold sweat.

No, big sister, can you ask such a question on the show? ! !
Let’s not talk about how much hype the show will bring after it is actually aired.

What's more, if nothing unexpected happens, both Song Youyou and Su Zhi will definitely watch the variety show he is participating in.

How should he respond?

However, Xu Kong is quite experienced in dealing with such matters.

Generally speaking, the best way to deal with such pointed questions is not to answer them.

It’s not that you directly say you don’t want to answer, but what you say has nothing to do with the question itself.

"I think both Youyou and Suzhi are excellent."

Immediately afterwards, Xu Kong praised Song Youyou and even talked about her acting talent and innocent and lovely personality when she was on the crew.

Xu Kong also praised Su Zhi's words, mainly talking about her singing skills and her serious and dedicated attitude towards her works and performances.

After hearing Xu Kong's answer, Xie Yiman, who had high emotional intelligence, did not ask again in an aggressive manner.

In the following time, several guests chatted for a while, and finally the environment for the performance began.

The first to appear were, of course, Hong Kong's two singing kings.

It has to be said that although these veteran Hong Kong stars had no less messy scandals and negative news than many of today's traffic idols.

But in terms of business, the gap is too big.

Although he is almost sixty years old, Shi Rui still chose a representative work from his youth, and the singing difficulty and technique are not low.

And the final performance was unexpectedly good.

Although it is certainly not as good as it was in the past, but to be able to sing some high notes at this age is really not easy.

As for Ji Banghe, although the song he chose is not difficult to sing, it is also one of his representative works.

For some young people who were present at the scene, it was filled with memories and emotions.

I guess these songs were already agreed upon by the program team before the invitation.

Once these two classic songs come out, the final popularity and data of this show can’t be too bad.

Even if the show's effects are a bit poor and it may be difficult to become a so-called hit, it is enough to be popular for a while.

Both of them sang Cantonese songs, and it must be said that Xu Kong could also hum along a few lines.

The outgoing rate can be said to be maximized.

As for the third person, Xie Yiman, who volunteered to sing on the small stage.

I suddenly had an idea and changed the song I had prepared.

It was replaced by a very classic Cantonese song.

It was obvious that the song was changed specifically to take advantage of the live atmosphere of the performance by the two singing kings just now.

Of course, after all, this is not a competitive music variety show with strict competition rules, so the director and the program team have acquiesced to such a thing that has its own program effect.

It can be seen that for a talented singer like Xie Yiman who is in her prime, when she is in a relaxed state, even without any preparation, the effect and standard of her performance are still very high.

She herself was in a very relaxed state.

It was not considered as a formal performance, but more like a spontaneous performance at a gathering of friends.

However, this way, the effect is better.

Far exceeded expectations.

According to the script, Xu Kong should have been the fourth to go on stage.

But unexpectedly, Yang Jiangjie actually took the initiative to suggest that he should perform first.

On the program team's side, director Deng Baoliang did not make a decision on his own, but instead sought Xu Kong's opinion.

Xu Kong didn't care and said he didn't mind the order of the performance.

But this was just the beginning. Perhaps because Xie Yiman had taken the lead, Yang Jiangjie actually expressed his desire to change the song at the last minute.

The program crew didn't follow the script too closely during the recording.

But the fact that two guests changed songs at the last minute did indeed go too far beyond the plan.

I just gave Xie Yiman the right to change the song temporarily. It would be a bit unreasonable if I don’t give it to Yang Jiangjie.

So I had no choice but to agree.

It can be seen that Yang Jiangjie really came up with this idea on the spur of the moment.

He didn't even prepare the accompaniment for the song, but instead asked the program crew for a guitar.

When he took the stage, he took the initiative to introduce himself:

“This is a Cantonese song I wrote about a year ago. It has never been published.”

"If I sing poorly, please forgive me and give me some pointers, seniors."

Yang Jiangjie's words made Xie Yiman look expectant.

"Of course, not only do you sing new songs, but they are also Cantonese songs."

It can be seen that Yang Jiangjie spoke very modestly.

But at this moment, he was quite confident, and one could even clearly feel the other person's youthful arrogance.

I have to admit that the quality of Yang Jiangjie's new Cantonese song is surprisingly good.

Both the lyrics and the melody have the flavor of old songs from the heyday of Hong Kong's music scene.

Even Shi Rui and Ji Banghe listened with great interest.

The only possible weak point is that there is no accompaniment prepared, so the guitar accompaniment alone is a little rough.

But this temporary change of song, not only is it a completely new song, the quality is also quite good. I have to say that Yang Jiangjie has successfully pretended to be

“It has the feeling of our songs back then”

Shi Rui spoke in his not-so-standard Mandarin.

Ji Banghe also followed suit.

It was obvious that after listening to Yang Jiangjie's performance just now, the two singing kings of Hong Kong were quite appreciative of Yang Jiangjie, the young newcomer in the music industry.

Although Yang Jiangjie didn't look in his direction when he stepped down.

But Xu Kong always felt that the other party did it on purpose.

Although there was no conflict between the two of them just now, it was certain that the other party was unhappy with him.

If it were any other situation, Xu Kong wouldn't care.

After all, I only agreed to participate in the show because I couldn't refuse Wu Youxue's kindness.

Just go through the motions and finish the recording. But now, Xu Kong really can't stand it.

No, buddy, you are pretending to be cool on me?
From the time Xu Kong traveled through time until now, most of the time he has shown his power in front of his own people.

I can only say that I can't stand it a little.

It's just a change of song, it's like who wouldn't change it.

"Director Deng, can I change the song too?"

When it was Xu Kong's turn to perform on stage, he suddenly spoke, which made Deng Baoliang stunned for a moment.

This is the third one. Never mind. I can’t stop it now and it doesn’t matter.

What's more, it was Xu Kong who was making the request now. Even if he really wanted to refuse, he probably couldn't do it.

Then change it, change it however you want!
Anyway, it’s like this now. Although it’s very different from the original script, the show effect is good enough anyway.

Xu Kong walked over to the program staff and asked for the guitar that Yang Jiangjie had just used.

Then he went up to the stage and sat on the stool, imitating Yang Jiangjie's words just now and started talking:
"I think it's such a coincidence. I also wrote this Cantonese song a year ago, but I didn't have time to release it."

“So if I sing poorly, please forgive me and give me guidance.”

“I’ll give you a song called ‘Rogue’.”

Xu Kong almost imitated what Yang Jiangjie had said just now and said it again.

This caused the guests and staff present to be a little surprised.

As for Yang Jiangjie himself, his expression was a little ugly.

No matter how little experience he had, he could tell that Xu Kong clearly said that on purpose.

But he had no way to refute it.

Because it is also a new song that has not been released, no one except Xu Kong himself knows when he wrote the song.

After Xu Kong finished speaking, a slightly light-hearted guitar sound began to sound.

What followed was Xu Kong's own gentle singing voice, which sounded like telling a story.

"I get drunk sometimes and I like my freedom"

“I often make mistakes and love to lie, but I always feel guilty”

"I have met many bad friends and learned to be fond of new things and dislike old ones"

They are also new songs, and they are all Cantonese songs that are gradually declining in popularity.

Naturally, people would subconsciously compare Xu Kong's song with Yang Jiangjie's song just now.

But it can be clearly felt that although Yang Jiangjie's new song is of good quality, it is too obviously imitating the old songs in the Hong Kong music scene.

It can be said that the nostalgic style is well done and the melody is also pretty good, but it just doesn't leave a very deep impression on people.

Xu Kong's song is obviously different.

Although it has the flavor of those original Cantonese songs, its style is obviously more distinct.

And although there is only one guitar, the overall melody and guitar accompaniment are extremely well completed.

"Good Ting."

Ji Benghe praised concisely.

As for the other Hong Kong singing king Shi Rui, he did not say anything at this moment, but listened very attentively.

"I'm afraid of getting married so I'll just keep my three-minute promise"

“I once said I wanted to quit smoking, but that’s it.”

“My dreams and dreams are far away, but I am tired of reworking.”

Xie Yiman also understands Cantonese.

When he heard the lyrics sung by Xu Kong at this moment, he couldn't help but look a little weird.

The title of Xu Kong's song is "Rascal".

When she first heard Xu Kong say this, she didn't quite understand what it meant.

But now when I hear the lyrics, isn't this what we now call a scumbag?
"Why do you still like me, a scoundrel like me?"

"Are you stupid or great?"

"Everyone here stepped on me. How bad is my reputation?"

“But you will never be surprised”

When singing the chorus, Xu Kong's state was still very stable.

This song itself is not a slow song with a lot of emotional changes and ups and downs.

But the singing itself is quite difficult.

However, after Xu Kong sang on the same stage with Hua Hongjuan at the Beijing TV New Year's Eve Gala, his singing skills are now at the top level among Chinese singers.

But it’s not a big problem for him to beat most of the so-called talented singers.

As for Xie Yiman at this moment, she just felt that she was a little brainwashed.

The lyrics of Xu Kong's song sound like the confession of a scumbag who doesn't want to take responsibility and is despised by others.

But it just gives people a very affectionate feeling, even a sense of sincerity in seriously analyzing one's own heart.

The song and melody alone are hard to dislike.

Coupled with Xu Kong's unreasonably handsome appearance, even Xie Yiman, a middle-aged woman, was indeed moved by him.

She felt that if it were some young girls, they would probably not be able to help but yell, "So what if he's a scumbag? Come and scum me, brother!"

"But you won't change your mind and will fight me to the death."

"If it were someone else, I wouldn't have the heart to do it, so I'd do it secretly."

When the last line of the lyrics was finished, the applause was even louder than before.

In addition to several guests, there were also many girls of varying ages from the live program crew.

Including the young girl who went to the airport to pick up Xu Kong. She was the most excited at this moment. Her face was red from clapping, which was very cute.

"thank you all."

Xu Kong was used to all kinds of big scenes. After bowing calmly, he took the initiative to step down from the stage.

"Xu Kong, you wrote this song so well!"

“I feel like I see it.”

As soon as he stepped off the stage, Xu Kong was praised by the two Hong Kong singing kings.

The words were even more exaggerated than those spoken by Yang Jiangjie before.

As for Yang Jiangjie at this time, although he did not deny that Xu Kong's new song was good, he must still be very dissatisfied because it stole his limelight.

However, in an inconspicuous corner, the person in the worst mood at the moment, and even a little desperate, was Yu Huai, the guest with the least presence in the entire show.

Not buddy!

He really wanted to complain, why do you guys change the song?
The key is that they are all in Cantonese, and Xu Kong and Yang Jiangjie wrote them themselves.

He is also a singer-songwriter, so how can he leave the stage at this moment?

The most important thing is, not only can he not produce any songs, but he doesn’t even have any Cantonese songs he can sing!

At this moment, the program director Deng Baoliang walked towards him and took the initiative to ask:
"Do you want to change the song?"

It wasn't that Deng Baoliang was deliberately making things difficult for Yu Huai.

It mainly started with Xie Yiman, and then both Yang Jiangjie and Xu Kong took the initiative to apply for a temporary change of songs.

And they all sang Cantonese songs in unison.

Now Yu Huai is the only one left who has not performed, so of course he has to ask.

Anyway, the program scripts and everything are completely different now.

Yu Huai really wanted to pretend to be cool and say "Of course I have to change" and then go up and suppress Xu Kong.

But unfortunately, he could only smile bitterly and shook his head helplessly.
