I was exposed for adding my female boss to my group of female friends.

It seems that Jin Lan is in good form today; she sang the climax of the song correctly.

He turned to look at the other people's reactions and saw that the two mentors were swaying to the rhythm, and they seemed quite satisfied; Jia Yi's face, however, was extremely ugly.

Qin Yunshang happened to be looking at him as well.

Her eyes looked surprised, as if she was astonished that Chen Ya's lyrics and music were actually quite good.

The viewers in the live stream couldn't help but hum along.

Regardless of the quality of the music, it's definitely catchy and the melody is very memorable.

Soon, the performance by Jin Lan ended.

However, some audience members were still immersed in the performance, and the melody of the chorus was still echoing in their ears.

Your gentle smile is like plum jam...

I don't know why, but this song wasn't particularly amazing, yet it felt incredibly catchy.

Jin Lan stood on the stage, panting after her performance, her heart filled with pride.

Although she made one or two mistakes on average in each line she sang, she felt that she performed very well.

The host also took control of the situation. Despite his provocative nature, he didn't choose to interview Jin Lan, but instead turned his attention to Jia Yi below:

"Before interviewing Jin Lan, I would like to hear what Teacher Jia Yi has to say."

"Mr. Jia Yi, Chen Liang was very confident about his song just now. Now that you've listened to it, what are your thoughts?"

The host's behavior is completely against the rules; he's a master at stirring up trouble.

But the audience just loves a good show and doesn't mind a big mess!

Live stream chat messages flew by:

"Hahahaha... What kind of behavior is this? Asking for the opponent's opinion first, huh?"

"This host is really brave! He actually dares to ask such a question!"

"I really want to hear what Jia Yi has to say, that is, what a professional musician thinks of this song. I think it's pretty catchy."

The microphone was handed to Jia Yi, who took a deep breath.

Okay, I was already thinking about giving Chen Liang a good scolding before I even listened to the song.

This is like giving yourself a pillow when you're sleepy!

Of course, he wasn't really going to "criticize" him, but rather to offer a proper "comment" on Chen Liang from a musician's perspective.

Kid, you don't know how to behave in the entertainment industry. I'm here to teach you a lesson today!

"I think Chen Liang's song is just a catchy pop song."

After Jia Yi finished speaking, the live stream chat went even crazier.

I've seen musicians from different circles and of different statures argue with each other before.

I've never seen competitors tearing each other apart like this before!

What's going on with this show? It's so exciting!

Jia Yi stared straight at the stage, not looking at Chen Liang, and continued:

"The chords of his song are quite common, the lyrics are all typical love song lyrics with no real meaning, and the melody is also not very varied, so it's very catchy."

"After listening to this song, did you all think it was catchy and easy to sing along to after just one listen?"

"That's right, it's because this song is a catchy pop song, very simple, you can sing it after listening to it, it doesn't have any depth."

"Of course, I'm not saying there's anything wrong with pop songs. Many great singers have sung pop songs, but they also have works that truly prove their abilities."

"What I mean is, as musicians, we should have some aspirations and strive to create songs that are more profound and complex. What do you think, Mr. Chen?"

After he finished speaking, the live stream chat exploded.

The screen was filled with long bullet comments, overlapping each other, making it impossible to read what others were saying.

Between the bullet comments, a few could occasionally be seen clearly:

"Oh, it's just a catchy pop song. No wonder it's so easy to sing along to."

"My five-year-old son has been humming this melody ever since I played this song. Haha, it's really too simple."

"Yes, I also feel that this song is quite simple and childish."

……

Jia Yi looked at Chen Liang with a provocative expression.

This was the first lesson he taught Chen Liang.

He wanted to see how Chen Liang would answer him later.

If Chen Liang goes against him, he'll be overwhelmed by the fans.

In music, Chen Liang, who was relatively unknown, was just a nobody; Jia Yi was the real authority.

Do you think the audience believes Jia Yi more, or Chen Liang more?

However, the host did not allow Chen Liang to express his opinion.

"Jin Lan, Teacher Jia Yi just said that the song Chen Liang wrote for you is a 'bubbly pop song.' What do you think?"

Jin Lan was taken aback.

She didn't expect the host to ask for her opinion instead of Chen Liang's.

Actually, it wasn't that the host deliberately prevented Chen Liang from answering; rather, he was trying to control the situation.

If Chen Liang gets carried away and starts arguing with Jia Yi, the show might get some entertainment, but if the contestants create too much tension, it will be difficult to continue the show.

Therefore, he chose to play it safe and let Jin Lan speak first.

After Jin Lan finished speaking, she then interviewed Chen Liang.

On the other hand, it also allows Chen Liang to prepare properly and organize his thoughts in advance.

If you can refute the arguments logically and with evidence, the show will be more interesting.

This move piqued the interest of millions of viewers in the live stream.

They wouldn't leave until they heard Chen Liang's answer.

Jin Lan on stage was a bit awkward.

She never expected to be asked such a question and was completely unprepared.

Moreover, how should we answer that?

This is forcing her to choose sides. If she sides with Jia Yi, what will happen to her grades?

If she sides with Chen Liang and offends Jia Yi, she will be even more unable to bear the consequences.

Jia Yi is clearly far superior to Chen Liang in terms of experience, reputation, and popularity. If you offend Jia Yi, do you still want to work in the industry?

After hesitating for a long time, Jinlan finally spoke:

"Actually, I think what Teacher Jia Yi said is right, this song is indeed a catchy pop song."

“But our program only gave us four days to write the song. Chen Liang’s skill level is not as good as the two teachers. I think it’s already good that he was able to produce such a work in such a short time.”

Chapter 415 Do you even understand music?!

Jin Lan's answer left even the host speechless.

I only wanted to control the game and play it safe, but I didn't expect you... to actually jump into the hole I dug for you?

It's one thing for competitors to attack each other, but it's really unacceptable for teammates to undermine each other.

Who would side with their opponent and attack their own teammate?

After hearing what Jin Lan said, Chen Ya was so angry that his head hurt.

I originally came here just to have some fun.

Little did he know that this one stunt would lead to the greatest humiliation of his musical career.

In the past, no one had ever dared to talk to him like that. He had been all over the world and was always carried around wherever he went.

Even those old fogies like Pink Floyd didn't dare raise their voices at him. The X-Japan guys were people he discovered himself.

Even his arch-enemy Yingzi wouldn't dare to openly insult him.

I never expected to be scolded to my face by a trainee who hasn't even debuted yet!

The number of experiences I never imagined has increased!

Moreover, he never expected that Jin Lan would dare to say in public that "Plum Jam" was no good.

Yes, "Plum Jam" is quite mouthwatering, but anyone can say that about me. Jia Yi can say that, He Su and Yu Xiaoxiao can say that too, but not you, Jin Lan!

Is this what I wanted to write? I can write "In the Name of the Father," I can write "Riding a White Horse," can you sing it?!

Isn't it because you, Jin Lan, are a complete tone-deaf person that you were forced to write it this way?!

On stage, Jin Lan continued, "I believe that if Chen Liang were given more time, he would be able to write even better songs."

The host asked, "You mean you think this song is bad?"

Jin Lan was stunned and speechless.

The host immediately changed the question, smiling as he asked:

"Between this song and the song by Teacher Jia Yi, if you could only choose one, which one would you prefer?"

Jin Lan hesitated for a moment, then made up her mind.

Since we've already decided to appease Jia Yi, we might as well go all the way and make things as absolute as possible.

Anyway, the group assignments for this variety show aren't fixed. Who knows who will be paired with whom in the next round!

Who knows, I might end up in Jia Yi's group?

Jin Lan said, "I think if I had to choose one, I would... choose Teacher Jia Yi's."

After he said this, the live stream chat erupted in an uproar.

The host mentally cheered "666" for Jin Lan.

Both of them are amazing.

One is incredibly arrogant, the other viciously attacks his teammates. Both are truly bizarre characters.

Qin Yunshang, who was standing to the side, pursed her lips.

Just as he had told Chen Liang when he first arrived.

In this game, the trainee idols and songwriters seem to be teammates, but in reality, there are no teammates at all!

Even if the lyricist and composer are very talented, a contestant with poor skills will try to take all the credit and push all the blame onto the lyricist and composer.

Jin Lan is an example of this. She may not have officially allied with Jia Yi, but they have actually formed a secret alliance. The two of them are working together to smear Chen Liang.

In her opinion, "Plum Jam" is actually quite nice, and she might even sing it better herself. She doesn't think there's anything wrong with pop songs.

Give me a break. Do you think Jia Yi's song was any better than pop songs?

They can't even remember the melody. Right now, the audience must all have the melody of "Plum Jam" in their heads. They've all forgotten Jia Yi's song from earlier.

Qin Yunshang was now very curious about how Chen Liang would answer the host's questions.

Sure enough, the host turned to Chen Liang and asked:

"Chen Liang, Jia Yi just said that your songs are just pop songs, and Jin Lan also thinks that your songs are not as good as Jia Yi's songs. What do you think?"

Instead of getting angry, Chen Liang laughed and said, "How can I see it? I'll sit here and watch."

It was quite unexpected that he could still crack a joke at a time like this.

The host continued to fan the flames, saying, "Your song is just pop music, aren't you going to explain yourself? Or at least defend yourself?"

"What's there to argue about?" Chen Ya said lazily. "Whether a song is good or not, no one's opinion matters; the audience's opinion matters. Since you, Jia Yi, are so confident, then your song must be even more popular, right?"

Jia Yi, who was sitting to the side, stiffened.

Chen Ya continued, "In other words, if your song doesn't perform as well as mine in the end, doesn't that mean your song isn't even as good as a pop song?"
