The straight man in the entertainment circle

Yi Wei won, which meant that Gao Xian was eliminated. Everyone knew the result and looked regretful.

Gao Xian's face was a little heavy, he stood up, forced a smile, and said: "I expected it, thank you all, and thank the program team for inviting me to participate in this competition."

"If you have anything you want to say, you can tell me." Tao Yufeng said.

Everyone looked at Gao Xian to see what final words he had left.

Gao Xian forced a smile and said: "It's okay, it's really okay. For a person like me, the director can let me come on the show. I am already very self-sufficient. At the end of the last show, many people have only heard my songs before. Now everyone knows that I wrote it, and I should have over 1 million Weibo followers after this episode."

After all these years, Gaoxian has a few popular songs, but no one recognizes them. This passage is very sad.

Everyone was silent. It's not easy to get ahead in the entertainment industry.

Gao Xian was obviously a little emotional. He said: "I first debuted as an online singer and never had a formal ticket. As my works gradually increase, I hope that the group I represent can be taken seriously by the industry. However, now the industry is still There is a chain of contempt, and everyone looks down on our type of singers. I think it’s very unfair. Why should the music that everyone likes not be able to be popular? My wish is that one day everyone will like me. Song, be willing to tell others out loud.”

Everyone applauded Gao Xian's words.

Gao Xian's words seemed to be in response to Lin Li's comments about his music just now. Lin Li's comments just now touched on Gao Xian's sensitive areas, which is why what he said was so emotional at this moment.

After Gao Xian finished speaking, he seemed to feel better and said with a smile: "It's a pity that I have prepared a few songs, so I can't sing them."

Everyone said: "Sing a few lines."

Gao Xian heard what everyone said and said, "Then just sing a few lines."

After speaking, Gao Xian cleared his throat and sang:

we are brothers

Please tell me if you are suffering

when you need

we spend time together

…………

Gao Xian obviously sang the chorus, but he only sang two lines.

After singing, everyone applauded.

Yi Wei said: "If Teacher Gao Xian sings this song, I will definitely be eliminated this time."

Naturally, other players also said some compliments at this time.

Only Lin Li remained silent. Everyone thought that Gao Xian had been eliminated, and Lin Li was unwilling to say anything nice. They all felt that he was really unkind.

Lin Li criticized Gao Xian for being so sharp and merciless, but when Gao Xian tried to clear his name a little, he didn't even want to say some kind words, which shows that he is narrow-minded.

Little did they know that Lin Li didn't say anything because he felt that judging from the two lines Gao Xian sang, if he sang this song, he might still not be able to win against Yi Wei this time. Lin Li was not willing to comfort Gao Xian with any superficial words.

Moreover, Lin Li felt that leaving here was not something that needed comfort, so Lin Li didn't have to say anything false.

Of course, he wouldn't say anything bad at this time, so he just remained silent.

Everyone chatted for a while, and Gao Xian shook hands with everyone one by one and said goodbye.

When Gao Xian and Lin Li shook hands, Lin Li said softly: "Teacher Gao Xian, if you have time, I have something to tell you after the show. Is it inconvenient for you?"

Gao Xian was stunned. He had never expected that Lin Li, who had always felt the most ruthless, would date him after he was eliminated.

"Okay, after the show, I'll wait for you backstage." Gao Xian said.

After Gao Xian left, everyone thought that this issue was over, but Tao Yufeng continued: "Wait a moment, everyone, there is something else that needs to be announced."

Everyone sat back down and looked at Tao Yufeng.

"In the next issue, we will welcome the first challenger. According to the rules, challengers are those who enter the elimination area by default, and can only choose players in the danger area."

When everyone heard this, they became interested and knew that something had changed.

Sure enough, Tao Yufeng said: "However, our predictions by Lin Li today were all correct, so Lin Li has the right to choose his division."

All the players were a little surprised when they heard that Lin Li's predictions were all right. Then they were a little confused about what Tao Yufeng said and asked, "What do you mean?"

Tao Yufeng explained: "Lin Li failed this round and entered the danger zone from the safe zone. In other words, Lin Li can jump back to the safe zone by himself. If Lin Li chooses to enter the safe zone, then the guests who challenge in the next issue will automatically enter the danger zone. Then the next issue will be Four singers from the danger zone challenge four singers from the safe zone, and the one with the lowest number of votes will be eliminated."

"If Lin Li chooses to stay in the danger zone, then in the next challenge, only one of the four challengers in the danger zone will enter the elimination zone. The loser will be eliminated directly. The other three in the danger zone will challenge the three in the safe zone. According to the rules of this time Same."

When Tao Yufeng said this, everyone understood.

"In other words, if Lin Li chooses to stay in the danger zone, the person who will be eliminated in the next phase will be 1 out of 2 people selected in the elimination zone. But if Lin Li chooses to go to the safe zone, he will be the one with the lowest votes among the eight singers. Everyone They are all in danger of being eliminated," Su Wanlong said.

Tao Yufeng said: "Yes."

Sausage also understood and said: "In this case, if Lin Li goes to the safe zone, the people in the safe zone may also fail next time, and they will be eliminated directly with the lowest number of votes. It is no longer the case now that if the safe zone loses, they will just fall into the dangerous zone. It will not Directly eliminated.”

Tao Yufeng said: "That's right."

"Wow, the safe zone isn't safe either."

As soon as Su Wanlong entered the safe zone, he found that the competition system had been changed and he was very unhappy.

After everyone understood this rule, they all looked at Lin Li. His choice determined the fate of all players.

Lin Li thought for a while and said seriously to Tao Yufeng, "I choose to go to the elimination area."

Lin Li's decision surprised everyone. He had blocked himself into a dead end.

There is a half chance of being eliminated in the elimination area. Lin Li has already lost this period, which proves that he is not invincible. How can he dare to take the initiative to jump to the elimination area?

If Lin Li chooses to go to the safe zone, then everyone has a 1/8 chance of being eliminated. But Lin Li chooses to go to the elimination zone. In this way, he puts all the chances of elimination on himself and the person he chooses. , at least the others will not be eliminated.

For the other six players, this is actually a good thing.

It's just that they don't understand why Lin Li chose this way.

"Lin Li, are you sure you want to enter the elimination zone?" Tao Yufeng asked.

"Sure." Lin Li said, "You said you can choose the area freely, I will choose the elimination area, no problem."

Tao Yufeng was stunned for a moment. They were all wondering whether Lin Li would go to the safe zone or stay in the dangerous zone. They never thought that Lin Li would directly choose the elimination zone.

"No... no problem, but why did you choose the elimination area?"

Lin Lidao: "Because I hope I can take the initiative in choosing my opponents."

After listening to Lin Li's words, everyone felt that he was a little motivated. Although the selection of people for this show is important, it is not the most important. The most important thing is of course the song itself. If Lin Li chooses the safe zone, even if he loses, as long as the number of votes is not If he is at the bottom, he will not be eliminated, and if he chooses the elimination zone, it means that he must win and there is no way out.

Everyone had a vague feeling that Lin Li was from Yan University, and he didn't seem very smart.

Tao Yufeng continued what Lin Li said: "If you stay in the danger zone, you can choose your own people."

Lin Li shook his head and said, "What if the challenge guest chooses me?"

Tao Yufeng was stunned and had no words to refute.

"Besides, I don't want to challenge people in the safe zone, but people in the dangerous zone, so I can only go to the elimination zone." Lin Li added.

When Lin Li said this, the players all looked over curiously, especially the few people currently in the danger zone.

"Who do you want to challenge?" He Mo couldn't help but ask.

The three people in the danger zone: Zeng Ye, Sausage, and Yi Wei.

Lin Li glanced at them and said, "Do you still have to ask?"

Zeng Ye said with a sad face, "That's me."

Everyone looked at Lin Li and thought that Lin Li really held a grudge. He went to the elimination area just to take the initiative to challenge Zeng Ye. It seemed that Lin Li really refused to let go of Tianyun's players.

Lin Li did not explain, and everyone went to the interview room for post-game interviews.

Just like last time, Lin Li's post-match interview took a long time but nothing came out. Lin Li said everything he had to say in person.

After the post-game interview, the singers left separately, and Lin Li went to the backstage of the stage to find Gao Xian.

The on-site public judges have left, and there are only some staff cleaning up the scene, which seems a bit empty and lonely after the noise.

"Teacher Gao Xian."

Lin Li found Gao Xian who was waiting backstage and shouted politely.

Gao Xian was very curious about Lin Li's appointment to meet him here. He was not used to it when he saw Lin Li suddenly becoming polite.

"Hello, I heard that you took the initiative to go to the elimination area."

Lin Li nodded.

"You are really unpredictable."

Lin Li smiled and said, "I'm looking for you so you can't figure it out."

"Indeed, tell me quickly, I'm really curious." There was a trace of inquiry in Gao Xian's eyes.

Lin Lidao: "I just listened to the last song you sang, and I have some thoughts. I want to share it with you."

Gao Xian was startled. He didn't expect that there were so many singers on the show. Although they all praised his songs, they were all on the show. After the show, no one was willing to exchange music with him. Lack of time was not the reason, but the real reason. It's because they still disdain Gao Xian's music in their hearts.

On the contrary, Lin Li, who had said many things wrong with Gao Xian in the show, now came to talk to him seriously.

"Okay, do you have any opinions?" Gao Xian asked.

Lin Li thought for a while and asked, "What's the name of your song?"

Gao Xiandao: "It's called "Brothers"."

Lin Lida said: "It's better to call it "My Good Brother"."

Gao Xian was stunned for a moment. The name Lin Li mentioned was the song title he had planned to give at the beginning, but he was worried that others would say the song title was too vulgar, so he changed it.

"Isn't this name a bit vulgar..."

Lin Li smiled and said, "Do you think no one will think it's vulgar if you call it 'Brothers'?"

Gao Xian was silent for a few seconds, then suddenly smiled and said, "Indeed, then I'll listen to you."

"I heard you sang just now. The original song was in the key of C?"

Gao Xian nodded.

Lin Li said: "It might be better to change it to the key of F."

Gao Xian was stunned, feeling as if he had found a close friend, and said, "I wrote it in the key of F from the beginning, but the transition during the chorus was a bit awkward..."

After speaking, Gao Xian started singing.

Sure enough, after changing it to the key of F, the cutting feeling is stronger and stiff when entering the chorus.

Lin Li heard this and said, "You are playing the key of Am minor. Can you change it to the key of Dm minor and try again?"

Gao Xian thought about it for a moment, his eyes lit up, and he said, "It seems possible. I'll go back and try."

Lin Lidao: "The lyrics also need to be improved. You can change these yourself. I think it will definitely be better than before."

Gao Xian was really excited. He had been writing this song for a long time, and he always felt that it could be better, but he could never find the direction. He always hoped to get rid of the tacky label, so when writing the song, he deliberately pursued the elegance of the song, but instead After losing his original sincerity, Lin Li mentioned a few words, and Gao Xian found his direction.

Not only can this song be better, but he also has a clearer understanding of his future path. No matter what he does, people who say his songs are vulgar will still say they are vulgar. It is better to completely throw away distracting thoughts and concentrate on writing good songs, just like Lin Li That said, music may be divided into good and bad by people, but musicians should not be divided into high and low.

As long as the public likes it, isn't it good?

"Thank you, Lin Li."

Gao Xian said very sincerely that he realized that his previous impression of Lin Li was too one-sided. He was not familiar with Lin Li at all and did not recognize Lin Li's true character at all, so he made a conclusion about him. Now that he thinks about it, so many There are so many black people, I'm afraid this is also the reason.

"You're welcome, waiting to hear your new song."

Lin Li smiled and said that actually he came here specifically to say this to Gao Xian because the song Gao Xian sang at the end was somewhat similar to the song "My Good Brother" in his mind.

Let Lin Li sing this song. I always feel that it is a bit inappropriate. Moreover, Gao Xian has written a similar song. Although it is not as good as his own song, it would be bad if Lin Li sings it again, so I would like to give Gao Xian some advice. Let him try his best to develop in a better direction. With his level, he may not be able to write this song better.

Of course, what was more important was Gao Xian's last words today that moved Lin Li.

There is indeed a chain of discrimination in this industry. People like Gao Xian are at the bottom of the chain. Some people just think that the songs that the public likes and are played all over the street are garbage and low-level, and then label them like this. For a person like Gao Xian, he will never be able to recover.

After listening to what he said, Lin Li decided to help him. Of course, Lin Li's help was just to help him regain his mentality and give him some direction and advice. It was not that he would give him all his songs. In that case, it would be Lin Li's. The song has nothing to do with Gao Xian.

As for what Gao Xian would make of the finished product after Lin Li gave him advice, that was not Lin Li's concern. In short, he did what he thought he should do, and that was fine.

Lin Li and Gao Xian said their final goodbyes, and then left with the band, Song Wenjie and others.

Gao Xian stood in the background, watching Lin Li slowly leave surrounded by everyone, with a hint of guilt, excitement, and some expectations in his eyes.

There are people like Lin Li in this industry, so it's not that bad after all.
