Among all the spectators, the most depressed ones were the players who were competing that day.
He was the one who had participated in the performance, but no one in the audience cared about how the contestants sang. They all went to debate about the pros and cons of Chinese and Western music and the future of opera.
Lin Xi, on the other hand, had not performed on stage yet, but he was still able to cause a heated discussion on the internet and become a trending topic. He was really popular wherever he went.
Competing with him was the greatest misfortune of the other players. They felt completely crushed.
......
At 10:30 pm, Du Yu and the others were about to leave when Lin Xi suddenly remembered something and called out to Du Yu,"
"By the way, Du Yu, do you have time these few days to accompany me to buy a car? Otherwise, it will be very inconvenient to go out.”
He felt his liver ache when he thought of the talkative driver today.
"No problem." The few men were interested when they heard the word 'car'.
"Which car model are you going to buy and at what price?”Xie Zhixin asked.
"Let's buy a Panamera first. I don't have much money on hand now.”
"Lin Zi, you're awesome. A Panamera costs at least a million. You're rich.”Fang Ziheng exclaimed.
"That's right. The license fee for a song from our forest is two million yuan.”Du Yu said proudly, as if he had earned the money.
Then, he turned his head and smiled ingratiatingly."Lin Zi, remember to lend me a ride. The most expensive car I've ever driven in my life is my uncle's Mercedes-Benz. It's only about 500,000 yuan. I really want to experience a million-dollar luxury car.”
"Needless to say, you can open it anytime.”Lin Xi smiled.
......
In a villa in the Imperial Capital.
Cai Kun was staring at the trending searches on the Internet.
#The pros and cons of Chinese and Western music are in dispute again, Lin Zicai confronts Cai Kun #
#China National Drama Association speaks up #
#Where is the future of opera?#
#Cai Kun responded on Weibo, insisting on his opinion #
#A well-known music commentator posted an article insinuating that a newcomer singer was riding on the popularity #
This so-called well-known music critic was actually Cai Kun's good friend. The two of them were students at the same university in America.
After a day of brewing, the internet was in chaos. All the factions were fighting!
Firstly, there was the battle between Chinese and Western music styles. The netizens almost all agreed that modern Chinese music had learned a lot of popular singing styles from the West. The focus of the debate was only on whether to completely westernize or keep the good and discard the bad.
The more intense debate was about Chinese opera.
"No way. It's already the 21st century, and there are still people listening to old-fashioned things like opera? He could sing for ten minutes in one sentence. He couldn't understand how such a performance could still exist.”
"Now, only uncles and aunties listen to opera. The opera troupe in our hometown couldn't continue for a few years and was disbanded.”
"Previous poster, just because you guys don't want to listen doesn't mean that others don't want to listen. Don't learn from Cai Kun and make a partial guess. I'm born in the 1990s and I like to listen to opera.”
"It's not that the opera can't do it. It's just that the modern young people's appreciation of beauty has declined. They've become silly listening to those nutritious fast-food songs all day long.”
"To be fair and objective, if you can listen to it, the lyrics of the opera are really beautiful. It's not something that those popular songs nowadays can compare to.”
The pros and cons of both sides began to spew insults at each other on the Internet, and the debate was extremely lively.
On another battlefield.
Several second-year female students from the Imperial Capital's National Drama Academy, where Su Zhilan was studying, chose a classical opera and adapted the lyrics to refute Cai Kun.
Although their singing was very good, the song was difficult to adapt and the lyrics were empty and powerless.
Not only did it not have the expected effect, but it was also ridiculed by Cai Kun on Weibo.
The article pointed out,"Look, this is a song sung by Chinese opera."”
Netizens who supported the Chinese opera faction shouted, Pig teammates, sending their heads away!
On the other side, the netizens who had been bewitched by Cai Kun's words, as well as the few Internet celebrities and Internet trolls that Cai Kun had found himself, were mocking Lin Xi on the Internet.
"Lin just likes to ride on the popularity. He doesn't have the chance to perform on stage, but he's using these gimmicks to attract attention. He only wrote three songs and already doesn't know who he is.”
"Using the name of Chinese opera to swindle and hype yourself up, what contribution have you made to Chinese opera?”
"I didn't expect that there would still be such backward and feudal thinking in the 21st century. If China wants to develop, it must learn from the advanced thinking of the West.”
"It's a fact that there's a gap, and it's also a fact that we're learning from the western developed countries. I don't understand why some people deliberately ignore such an obvious fact. They would only hype up their patriotic feelings there.”
These were all Weibo comments from some big Internet users who had the same thoughts as Cai Kun.
These people, without exception, all wore a pair of glasses that were superior to others. Their words revealed that they had once lived in a western developed country and had seen the world.
There was even a person who quoted an article from an American media outlet. This media outlet had always been hostile towards China. The article listed all aspects of China that were inferior to the United States, from culture, sports, film and television, to technology, military, aerospace, and so on.
On the surface, the data looked detailed and credible. Borrowing this article, this big V seemed to want to express that China should face the gap and learn from the West.
However, it didn't take long for the netizens to slap him in the face. After some research and research, some netizens found that the data in this article was a lot of exaggeration. The comments section was instantly flooded by Lin Fan's fans.
There was also an Internet celebrity who felt uncomfortable and posted a post directly criticizing his music.
"If you analyze it carefully, your composing skills are actually not that high. You think you've become a god after singing a few songs? What is written there?"
"The lyrics were all jumbled up, especially that song 'South Mountain South.' It exposed the low level of his creative ability.”
"What do you mean by you're in the southern sun and the snow is flying? In the cold night in the north, it was like spring all year round. The lyrics only talked about the difference in climate between the north and the south, showing off that there was heating in the north. There was no meaning to it.”
"What do you mean by being a mute who only lies to himself? If you're already mute, why would you lie?”
" What if all the lands were connected? He's completely uneducated and doesn't even know the most basic geography knowledge. He doesn't even know how he went to university. I even suspect that there's a shady deal behind his admission to university. I hope Imperial Capital Culture University can investigate further.”
When these comments were posted, countless netizens were shocked!
