The scene was in an uproar, and the atmosphere became subtle.
"As expected of Scholar Lin Xi.”
"Among the contestants, only Lin Xi dares to confront Cai Kun like this.”
"Can Lin Xi still be considered a player? I support Lin Xi. Every time I see Cai Kun talking nonsense on TV, I get annoyed.”
"But I think Lin Xi miscalculated this time. In this regard, China is indeed inferior to the West. There's no chance of winning against Cai Kun.”
Backstage.
"Hehe, Lin Xi, this kid, he became so popular after only a few days. He actually started fighting with Cai Kun on the show. Let's make it worse. It's best to kick Lin Xi out of the show.”
Tang Hong gloated and thought darkly in his heart.
A few of the other players started to worry for Lin Xi.
Everyone had studied music before, and they were very disgusted by Cai Kun's words. However, what he said about Chinese pop music learning a lot from the West was true.
Take them as an example. When they were learning to sing since they were young, almost all the teachers suggested that they learn Western singing, believing that Western pop singing was more advanced and superior.
In addition, Cai Kun was a big shot with strength and status in the music industry. He had recently become an executive of a top music company in the country and had a wide network of resources. Although Lin Xi had been very popular recently, he was still a newcomer after all. If he went against Cai Kun directly like this, the chances of winning were really not high.
He might even become a tool for the internet trolls to attack him.
"Director, what should we do? The situation is a little tense. Should we get the host to go out and smooth things over?”
"What do you know? Tell the host to stabilize himself and not move. Tell the cameraman that this segment must be recorded completely for me. This is the biggest explosive point of this episode. The viewership ratings for this episode will definitely soar!”the director said excitedly.
The emcee, who had received the director's instructions, stopped in his tracks and quietly watched the situation develop.
Cai Kun himself had real talent and had learned a lot of pop singing from the West, but he did fit the shortcomings of some people in the music industry that Lin Xi had just mentioned.
Everyone present could tell that Lin Xi was scolding him!
Ever since he returned from America and debuted, he had been praising America in public all these years. Flattery was flattering, but he always wanted to belittle China to elevate America.
For example, when Su Zhilan had just lost the challenge, he had habitually started to praise the Western singing style. He himself did not think much of it.
Instead, he felt as if he was preaching a truth to the public, and he felt extremely superior!
He had never expected Lin Xi to stand up and criticize him.
How the situation would develop had already exceeded everyone's expectations.
One was a young scholar who had become famous before he debuted.
One of them was a very experienced, capable, and influential middle-generation A-list singer.
These two people were already in an intense confrontation.
"Although what you said is right, I don't know if doing this is good or bad for you.”
Ling Fang sighed in her heart. She admired Lin Xi's intelligence and courage, but she couldn't help but worry.
Lin Xi's expression was still calm and composed.
If it were any other contestant, they would not have dared to express their opinions due to Cai Kun's status and identity, even if they did not agree with his views.
This could be seen from the reaction at the scene just now.
But he was different.
He was Lin Xi!
As a person of two lifetimes, his will had become even more determined and persistent. Facing this kind of fake scholar who worshiped and fawned over foreign countries, why would he need to give in!
If he were to retreat under such pressure, how could he change the status quo of the Chinese music industry in the future?
After a moment of silence.
Cai Kun said again," If we follow what you said, then we should return to the state of seclusion during the feudal period. We should think that the heavens are above the country and look at the sky from the bottom of the well. That's the right thing to do.”
Cai Kun once again used his logical sophistry.
" Of course, I'm not encouraging history to go backward," Lin Xi said with a smile.”
When Cai Kun heard this, he once again put on a deep and pained expression and said,"
"You have to know that we are still far behind the developed western countries in many aspects. China's development over the years has been largely due to learning from the experience of the western countries.”
" Just look at reality. There are many examples. Chinese martial arts can't beat Western boxing. Chinese medicine is not as reliable as Western medicine. It's purely pseudoscience. Athletics and basketball are far behind."
"Take music as an example. Whether it's pop, rock, or rap, which one of them isn't learned from the West? In China's music scene, no matter what genre or style, has there ever been a celebrity who can surpass Western singers?”
The smile on Cai Kun's face deepened as he spoke.
Lin Xi sighed in his heart.
Of course, he could hear the loopholes in Cai Kun's words. Many of the examples that Cai Kun gave were partial and general. He specifically picked out some special examples and the typical people's impressions to talk about.
In fact, the ones who lost to western boxing were only some fake martial artists from China who were fishing for fame. Chinese martial arts were famous all over the world. Although Chinese medicine had not been fully verified by modern science, it could not deny the efficacy of Chinese medicine.
As for sports such as track and field and basketball, China had made rapid progress in recent years. It was enough to compete with the West!
However, Lin Xi couldn't refute the last example, which was Huaxia Music, because that was the reality.
This was also what he wanted to change in this life.
Seeing that Lin Xi didn't refute, Cai Kun chuckled and became even more pleased with himself."
"Lin Xi, just take the opera singing style that you praised just now as an example. Is there anyone in the Chinese music industry who can sing this style of singing that can compare to Western singers?”
"Doesn't this show the huge difference in music between China and the western countries?”
Cai Kun said another indisputable fact.
In fact, in terms of opera singing, not only was there no one who could compare to Western singers, but there was no singer in China who could sing this way!
Lin Xi frowned.
Deng Rong was about to speak up for Lin Xi, but she paused when she heard this. Although Cai Kun's words were harsh, they were the objective truth.
