The male player braced himself and went on stage. Lin Xi and the other players sat on the left side of the player bench to watch.
Against a strong singer like Cai Kun, this male contestant was naturally too weak. Without any suspense, he was eliminated and left regretfully.
The big screen rolled again. The second player was: Su Zhilan.
Su Zhilan had won 10 stars in the last competition and was ranked fourth. She had the right to choose which celebrity she wanted to challenge.
When the host asked, Su Zhilan said word by word,"I choose to challenge Teacher Cai Kun."
Everyone present was stunned. Even Cai Kun had a surprised expression on his face.
Among the five singers who accepted the challenge, he was the one with the strongest singing skills. Usually, contestants who had the right to choose would choose the weaker singers to challenge first. He did not expect Su Zhilan to choose him.
Cai Kun had already sung it when he accepted the challenge, so Su Zhilan went on stage directly.
As soon as she stood on stage, she stunned the audience. She was sweet and tall, and her demure temperament fascinated countless male viewers.
Su Zhilan chose a song with Chinese characteristics. Her voice was beautiful, and she made full use of Chinese folk songs in her performance. Her overall performance was amazing, and many of the audience were fascinated by it. The four coaches also nodded slightly in approval.
However, when the final score was out, everyone let out a sigh of regret.
Su Zhilan lost the challenge by eight votes.
"What a pity. She sang quite well and was only eight votes away from passing.”
"Sigh, young people are so arrogant. They insisted on picking the best singer to challenge.”
The judges on the stage sighed.
"What do you know?" Deng Rong said seriously," Su Zhilan chose to challenge Cai Kun for a reason.”
"Teacher Deng Rong, what do you mean?”Chen Yu asked in confusion.
"It's not like you don't know what kind of person Cai Kun is. Su Zhilan chose to challenge him, and she even used a folk singing style, to prove that Chinese singing has its own uniqueness and is not inferior to Western singing!”
So that was the case. The other three judges were enlightened.
Indeed, Cai Kun was usually proud of the American and Western singing methods he had learned. He often belittled Chinese songs on various occasions, thinking that no matter if it was the arrangement, remix, or lyrics, they could not compare to Western music. Chinese singers had to learn from Western singers in order for the Chinese music industry to improve.
The three judges immediately looked at Su Zhilan in a new light. They did not expect a little girl to have such ambition.
On stage, Su Zhilan looked at her results, and her eyes turned slightly red. She had hesitated for the whole day yesterday about the song to participate in the competition, but in the end, she chose this song that used a folk singing style.
She had loved music since she was young and had learned traditional Chinese singing. Every time she saw Cai Kun belittle Chinese music in the media, she felt very aggrieved and wanted to refute him.
She did not expect Cai Kun to be one of the contestants today. Su Zhilan decisively chose him because she wanted to use her singing to challenge him and use her actions to prove her Chinese singing skills. She did not expect that she would still fail in the end.
At this moment.
Cai Kun, who originally did not have a speech segment, smiled smugly and said,"Zhilan's voice is pretty good, but her singing is not good. I suggest you learn more western pop music singing so that you can go further on the road of music.”
Here it comes again. It's this kind of high-class and advanced appearance of the United States again. Cai Kun's attitude made the four judges feel a little disgusted.
Deng Rong could not help but frown.
Su Zhilan felt even more uncomfortable listening to this. She wanted to retort, but she couldn't think of anything to retort at the moment. Besides, she had already lost, so her words were not convincing. Tears of grievance welled up in her eyes.
The smile on Cai Kun's face deepened, and he looked down on them.
At this moment, a voice was heard."
"I don't agree with Teacher Cai Kun's statement.”
His voice was clear, deep, and powerful.
Everyone looked towards the source of the voice and realized that it came from the player seats. It was Lin Xi!
He stood up straight and looked straight at Cai Kun.
Cai Kun looked at Lin Xi with interest.""Oh, Lin Xi. What do you disagree with?"
" I don't think Chinese songs are inferior to Western songs," Lin Xi said loudly.”
The crowd fell silent, stunned by Lin Xi's words.
" Lin Xi, your three songs have been really popular recently. To be honest, I admire you a lot too. You created a unique style that only belongs to you.”Cai Kun said with a smile.
"But we musicians all know that to become a truly great singer, it's not just one or two songs that are popular. It takes years of accumulation.”
Lin Xi didn't retort and quietly listened to Cai Kun.
"I've been in the music industry for so many years and have seen too many singers who became popular overnight like you, but not many of them can withstand the test of time. Most of them reached their peak after their debut and were short-lived.”
" The main reason is that your overall ability is not up to standard. For example, you, Lin Xi, although the three songs you wrote are poetic and the lyrics are not bad, the style is similar. They are all gentle and soothing, lacking in variation.”
Deng Rong, who was sitting on the judges 'table, wanted to retort, but she realized that what Cai Kun said actually made some sense.
The three songs that Lin Xi was famous for had a unique style, but the singing style was similar. They were all soothing and had a hint of vicissitudes. The reason why he attracted a lot of attention every time he appeared was because many people wanted to see what kind of ballad style song he would write.
Cai Kun continued," This style will make you successful. It will also become an obstacle to your growth. What if the audience gets tired of listening to it one day? What will you do then? Will you be able to compose other types of songs?”
"You're still young, and your understanding of music is still in its infancy.”
"You have to know that Western pop music is at the forefront of the world. In the past 20 years, the singing style of Chinese music has been learned from the West. If it weren't for the advanced techniques and experience learned from the West, the Chinese music scene would still be stagnant. If you don't believe me, look at the pop songs in the music industry now.”
"When you jump out of the circle of Chinese songs and come into contact with the outstanding and advanced pop music and top musicians in the United States and the West, you will realize that Chinese pop music can't compare to Western music.”
After he finished speaking, Cai Kun's face revealed an intoxicated and yearning expression.
All the musicians present fell silent. What Cai Kun said was indeed true. Chinese pop music had only been developed for a short period of time and was far inferior to the many years of accumulation in the West. Many of the arrangement techniques and singing techniques were learned from the West.
Ling Fang and Ceng Yi, who were in the guest seats, also felt their hearts tighten. They were worried for Lin Xi. Lin Xi couldn't refute Cai Kun's words.
"Or, can you tell me which song is a good song that uses traditional Chinese singing?”Cai Kun said aggressively with a smug look on his face.
Lin Xi smiled and said in a deep voice,""Western pop music is indeed leading the way in modern times, and Chinese singers have also learned a lot of skills from it. However, this doesn't mean that Chinese music is inferior to Western music.”
"China has a kind of music singing method that has been leading the world for hundreds of years!”
