Failed to show off wealth, relying on talent to become popular in the entertainment industry

Chapter 450 What kind of stinky trick is White Dog?

At 10 o'clock the next morning, Su Bai and Xu Qirou followed Director Fan to the front of New City, Madison Square Garden Arena, or MSG for short.

MSG's status in the beautiful country is a bit like a phoenix nest, and it can be regarded as one of the best stadiums in New York City.

Many singers are proud to perform at MSG, and the world tour concert of singer Zhang Xueyou was also held here.

The competition venue for this "World Music and Culture Exchange Conference" is also here.

There are more than 100 participating countries, and the scale is not small. It is somewhat like the Music World Cup.

If we talk about military strength, to be honest, Blue Star's China is very strong and more hawkish, so it can be said that it is on par with the beautiful country. It is impossible to say who is the first without a real fight.

But when it comes to music status, China's music status in the world is not as good as that of Asan.

This is also one of the reasons why Su Bai receives so much official attention, including the fact that the female player Xu Qirou is sent this time. It is also because Xu Qirou cooperates the most with Su Bai and has the best cooperation.

In the last four-nation exchange competition, the public just felt that it was very exciting and awesome, but they had no idea how much that wave of victory had improved China's international music status!

It can be called proud!

So this time Fan Dezhi personally led the team, the purpose is to hope that Su Bai can break into the top ten. This can be regarded as a big leap in the international status of Chinese music.

The competition rules are as follows:

It is divided into knockout rounds, qualifying rounds and the finals.

In the knockout round, machines will draw lots, and the two singers from each country will advance.

Until the 20 national teams are decided, the qualifying competition begins.

No old songs are allowed to be sung at the beginning of the qualifying round. They must be new songs that have never been released. Each song must have its own stage presentation, and it must be an English song.

In fact, many countries are not satisfied with the requirement of English songs, but because this is the first time, the beautiful country also said that if the host country will rotate in the future like the Olympics or the World Cup, then this rule can also be cancelled, but the first That's it for now.

To put it bluntly, it's just a ploy by these white-faced and black-hearted guys who want to get the upper hand first.

The beautiful country is currently the country with the largest share of the international music market, so doing this will definitely be more beneficial to them.

As for the judging panel, 20 viewers from 2000 powerful music countries were selected for on-site voting, and there was also an inspection team composed of leaders of exchange groups from various countries for supervision.

This one is relatively fair.

I don’t know if it was a coincidence or fate, but the first opponent the Chinese team encountered was the Italian team that had just defeated an established luxury brand.

Speaking of Italian singers, it is enough to simply mention one - Pavarotti.

Just this name can explain Italy's musical level.

However, it is impossible for that old man to participate. After all, although this competition has no age limit, that person's age is indeed not suitable for participating.

The male singer sent by Italy this time is one of their middle-aged generation's most powerful singers, Tigiano Ferro. He is in his 40s and is still a national treasure-level pop singer with great popularity in Europe and the United States.

The female singer is even more terrifying. Her name is Lola Pusini. She can be said to be one of the most popular Latin female singers in the world. She has won three Grammy Awards for Best Vocal Album.

Grammy!

Seriously speaking, although there are Chinese-Americans who have won Grammy awards, so far, they are all side awards. For more valuable awards like Best Vocal Album, there is no pure Chinese singer who has won them. been.

So when he saw the battle list, Fan Dezhi fell silent.

To be honest, this lineup is a decent seeded player, and they can reach the top ten if nothing happens.

Before coming here, Uncle Fan came with relatively high expectations and hopes, because with Su Bai's talent and the performance of the last four-nation exchange, if he hadn't encountered a very strong team, it would have been certain to reach the top twenty. of.

Who would have thought that in the first round of eliminations, we would meet a guy who has won three Grammys!

Domestic netizens also fell silent after learning about Laura's information.

Because music, like sports, is a field that arouses the interest of ordinary people, the Chinese government also made this world competition very grand. Yangma directly started a special live broadcast on Kuaiyin.

On the one hand, it wants to enhance national cohesion, and on the other hand, it also wants to give a shot in the arm to the Chinese music market, which has been slightly sluggish in recent years.

Everything was going well at first, and everyone recognized the abilities of Su Bai and Xu Qirou, and wondered whether Su Bai could defeat a small island country again to have fun.

结果

"Xiaobai, Qirou, it's okay, you two just calm down and don't be stressed! You two are still very young, there is no shame even if you lose, as long as we show our spirit!"

Even though he was under great pressure, Fan Dezhi still smiled and comforted Su Bai and the others to adjust their mentality.

"I'm not stressed! Qirou, are you?"

Su Bai looked at Uncle Fan who was trying his best to show he didn't care with a puzzled face, and then asked Xu Qirou. "No!"

In front of others, Xu Qirou no longer had the cute and naive look she had when she went out with Su Bai yesterday, and returned to her usual coolness.

"."

Fan Dezhi was completely speechless. He could see that Su Bai was not pretending to be relaxed. He was so relaxed!

"No, do you know how strong Laura is?!"

"I know, it won three Grammys for Best Vocal Album, right?"

Fan Dezhi was choked by Su Bai's words, and his eyes flashed with infinite doubts:

yes! So shouldn't you be nervous?

Su Bai and Uncle Fan's eyes met, and Su Bai's eyes were full of doubts:

yes! What happened to three Grammys?

I'm cheating!

That bitch’s singer has a lot of Grammys with 32 Grammys. What’s the point of three Grammys? !

Xu Qirou looked at the two people around her who were confused with each other. She felt that this scene was extremely funny, and she burst out laughing with a "puff".

The look between Su Bai and Bai also ended, and Fan Dezhi prepared a lot of words of relief but failed to use them.

He opened his mouth and said: "Then come on! Don't go up and sing "Thunder", I'm warning you."

As the leader of the exchange team, it is impossible for Fan Dezhi not to know what Su Bai did yesterday, but it doesn't matter. Young people just like to go out and mess around, it's harmless.

Since these foreigners like to call Mai Culture very much, he is also happy to see the results, but this competition also invited a bunch of world-famous music masters as the jury!

They are not like ordinary people who approve of this kind of music just because they think it is fun or catchy. The Chinese themselves don’t really approve of this stuff. It would be embarrassing if Su Bai really sang this on a serious stage. !

"That's definitely not possible! Don't worry, Uncle Fan. I've never been so safe when I acted!"

Su Bai waved his hands, looking confident.

To be honest, Fan Dezhi doesn't know whether he should be happy or speechless now!

Let's talk about how confident Su Bai is. He really hasn't missed a beat in any competition. However, this time the opponent is completely different from the previous opponents! Previously it was only limited to Asia, and it was still among the younger generation!

Forget it this time, anyway, Su Bai, this piece of shit, is the best if he has confidence, and there is no need for Fan Dezhi to forcefully create a sense of crisis for him.

While a few people were talking, on the huge stage, the two hosts, one in black and one in white, had already begun to announce the curtain. It seemed that those two were also famous hosts, but Su Bai didn't recognize them either.

The first few games were all duels between small countries, but music has nothing to do with national strength. Just like China is so strong in all aspects, it means that the national football team cannot beat Syria.

The songs written by those singers are in languages ​​I don’t even understand, but they are pretty good to listen to. With the lyrics translated on the big screen, it’s quite immersive.

Finally, after the first four groups ended their duel, it was Su Bai's group's turn.

We went up and drew lots. According to the rules, Xu Qirou sang first, followed by Italian male singer Ferro, female singer Lola, and finally Su Bai.

To be honest, this order is not very good.

The voting rules of the World Series are different from those of "Singer". This is real-time voting, not voting after listening to four songs.

This also leads to the audience being more cautious in voting for the first one to sing, and generally the number of votes will not be too high unless it is amazing.

The one who sings last will no longer have the advantage of being impressive. Instead, the audience may be a little tired because of being the last one, thus affecting the number of votes.

At this moment, fans in Huaguo's live broadcast room were also wailing, and the atmosphere was rather heavy.

[What do you mean, White Dog is such a bad guy? It’s hell difficulty from the very beginning! 】

[Yeah, it doesn’t matter if more than 100 teams draw seed players, even the order is so bad! 】

[Finally, it’s hard to have a world-wide music competition. It won’t be like a round-robin tour like the World Cup. I’ll cry to death.]

[Don’t be so pessimistic, Su Bai is also very strong, okay? 】

[In Asia, it is true that Baigou can be said to be top-notch, but Europe and the United States have never looked down on our music. It’s hard to say! 】

[Indeed, European and American people account for three-quarters of the 2000 voting audience. It is really not easy to impress them. The Italian song style may be more to their liking. 】

[I am willing to sacrifice my roommate's ten years of life in exchange for Su Bai winning! 】

[Then I will sacrifice twenty years to my roommate]

【Tan Quanzhen! I'm watching the live broadcast too, why the hell don't you sacrifice yourself? You were waiting for me to go back to the dormitory! 】

Netizens were very happy. Although everyone thought the competition was a bit suspenseful, they started to get funny while chatting.

At the same time, the atmosphere in Italy's live broadcast room was much more relaxed than that in China's live broadcast room.
