I really don't want to be the top streamer anymore

Chapter 189 Xu Kong and Su Zhi sang together for the second time?

"Director Deng, Yang Jiangjie has applied to change the song."

The data of the program "Autumn Concert" is getting worse and worse, and Deng Baoliang, as a director, is under a lot of pressure.

After all, mangoes now are different from last year.

Especially in various variety shows, it no longer has the advantages it once had.

Now it is even being overshadowed by some programs on other platforms during the same period.

"Change the song?"

After hearing the news, Deng Baoliang confirmed that Yang Jiangjie was actually planning to sing a new song that had not been released before in this episode.

Good thing!
It was not difficult for Deng Baoliang to guess that the other party chose to change the song, which was most likely related to Xu Kong's sudden participation in the show in this episode.

But in the final analysis, no matter whether the two really have a conflict.

Or maybe Yang Jiangjie is deliberately riding on Xu Kong's popularity for the sake of traffic.

These have nothing to do with their program team.

Yang Jiangjie chose to sing a new song. From his perspective as a director, he would definitely agree as long as it could make the show more interesting.

"But Yang Jiangjie will probably be disappointed this time."

Deng Baoliang muttered softly.

Because Xu Kong did not choose to sing a new song this time, but the previous theme song of "Legend of Sword and Fairy" "Always Quiet".

Moreover, their program itself is not a competitive music variety show.

There is no such thing as voting.

Even though both of them can perform, there is no so-called head-on confrontation.

This episode is a Mid-Autumn Festival special, and the setting of the show is very festive.

Because they arrived early, Xu Kong and Su Zhi waited for a while at the recording site before the guests of this episode gradually arrived.

What surprised Xu Kong was that Su Zhi and Xie Yiman were actually old acquaintances.

Interestingly, the two met when Su Zhi was participating in a variety show and had not yet officially debuted.

At that time, Xie Yiman was one of the special guests of that music talent show. At that time, Xie Yiman was already a well-known female singer.

But now so many years have passed, and I didn’t expect that Su Zhi has become a singing queen, while the other party is still just a first-line singer.

Although he also greeted Xie Yiman.

But because of Su Zhi's personality, the two of them were not actually that familiar with each other.

It's just limited to acquaintance.

However, Xie Yiman was the type of person who was good at socializing. Even though Su Zhi's answers were always a few simple words, she still kept talking tirelessly.

"I didn't expect that you two would come to the show together this time."

"Not afraid."

Xie Yiman didn't finish her words.

But the meaning is also very clear.

After all, the scandal between Xu Kong and Su Zhi has been going on for a long time.

Of course, there is nothing wrong with Xie Yiman's idea. Generally speaking, it is necessary to avoid suspicion.

Strictly speaking, both Xu Kong and Su Zhi can be said to be in the rising period of their careers.

Such scandals will definitely have an impact on one's own development.

But Su Zhi has now set up her own studio. Although it is still affiliated with the original company, its operations and various businesses are completely independent.

Not to mention Xu Kong.

After joining Fengge, he has a degree of freedom that most other artists cannot compare to.

So as long as the two of them don't care and are just participating in a show together, no one will come out to stop them.

Xie Yiman did have doubts before, but now she saw that Xu Kong and Su Zhi were very generous and did not even try to hide the fact that they had a good relationship.

She actually somewhat believed what Xu Kong had said before, that he and Su Zhi were just good friends.

The three of them chatted for a while, and then the remaining guests arrived.

Except for Yang Jiangjie, whom Xu Kong had met before, Xu Kong also knew all the guests in this episode.

But they are not the two veteran Hong Kong singing kings from the first episode.

The two of them only came to record the first episode, which was mainly themed around nostalgia.

The two this time are also veterans in the music scene.

Ray Lui and Hu Shaoning are both in their thirties but less than forty years old.

Although they have their own solo works, they are more well-known for the hit singles they released as a duo.

During the chat, everything was naturally friendly.

Xie Yiman is almost responsible for creating the atmosphere.

I have to say, from this aspect, Xie Yiman is quite suitable for participating in variety shows.

At least there will never be such embarrassing things as a dull silence.

And it can be seen that Xie Yiman does have the idea of ​​developing in this direction.

After all, as a singer, this aspect of his career has almost come to an end.

There haven't been any hit singles in several years.

If you don’t find ways to get more exposure, your popularity will only get lower and lower.

Variety show is a very good choice.

Moreover, her personality makes it easier for her to win the audience's favor by participating in similar reality shows.

In comparison, Su Zhi and Yang Jiangjie were the ones who spoke the least.

Su Zhi's words are slightly better. After all, she has so many years of experience in participating in variety shows, and as a singing queen, it is impossible for her to have no presence.

Yang Jiangjie felt a little embarrassed.

He couldn't get a word in on most of the topics the group was talking about.

When I was in school, I didn’t have many friends.

There were some new guests in the previous two episodes. Although they were not very famous, they were still able to dominate some topics.

But in this episode, they really didn't even say a few words.

Of course, he also knew that when the show was broadcast, his performance would most likely just be a background board, without even a specific shot.

However, Yang Jiangjie was holding his breath at the moment, waiting for the next performance session.

As long as his new song performance goes well, he will still be the protagonist of this episode.

It is estimated that the other guests at the scene would never have thought that Yang Jiangjie, who had been silent all the time, would have such rich inner thoughts.

"Director Xu, just tell me the truth, we can't wait for your album. Can Su Zhi's album be released this year?"

While chatting, Xie Yiman mentioned Su Zhi's new album.

“It will definitely be completed within this year.”

This time, Xu Kong gave an accurate answer.

After all, the songs have been written, and Xu Kong's original plan was definitely to release all the songs for Su Zhi's new album this year.

"Then I'm relieved. I'm really looking forward to it."

Xie Yiman quietly helped Su Zhi promote her new album.

Later, he took the initiative to ask Xu Kong about various details about Su Zhi's new album.

In fact, the main purpose was to allow him to promote Su Zi’s new album on the show.

Xu Kong could naturally hear it as well.

Nor did he reject the other party's kindness.

After chatting for a while, we finally got to the performance stage.

This time, Xie Yiman volunteered and directly chose the first performance.

Although her personality seems a bit too cool, Xie Yiman is still quite serious and earnest during the performance.

It can be seen that after all, he has been singing for so many years and has performed on various stages, big and small. His singing skills and live performance are still very good.

And this time Xie Yiman chose an old song of her own, which was not very well-known, at least Xu Kong had never heard of it.

I guess it’s still hard to let go.

Xu Kong could understand the other party's feelings. Xie Yiman must also want to continue to concentrate on singing.

However, due to the serious decline in popularity and the fact that exposure has become a big problem, he can only try to transform himself into a variety show star.

When Xu Kong first debuted in his previous life, he was actually developing towards the path of a singer.

But later on, his voice was damaged, and he had no choice but to start trying acting.

As soon as Xie Yiman finished her performance, most of her original professional singer temperament disappeared.

He started telling jokes again to liven up the atmosphere at the recording site.

Although Ray Lui and Hu Shao Ning are well-known as a group.

But this time they did not perform on stage together. Instead, they each sang a single that they had released separately.

What’s more interesting is that although the two are a group, their song styles are very different.

You can even tell it directly from the arrangement.

Ray Lui is the type who sings majestic and grand songs, while Hu Shaoning prefers love songs with a slower tempo.

I don't know how the two of them got together.

It’s finally my turn.

Yang Jiangjie was obviously much more nervous this time than in the first episode.

Before going on stage, he deliberately looked in Xu Kong's direction twice.

But Xu Kong didn't pay much attention to it at this time.

“The song is called ‘Unique’.”

Yang Jiangjie doesn't talk much even when he is performing.

After simply saying the name of the song, he began his performance.

“It’s actually a new song?”

——“Is it a new song?”

"Yeah, not from his previous album."

Xie Yiman nodded in response to Xu Kong's question.

The main reason is that they debuted for a relatively short time.

Sister Yangjiang has only released one album and the Cantonese song she sang in the first episode.

Xie Yiman had listened to Yang Jiangjie's album in its entirety, so she naturally identified it at the first opportunity.

Xu Kong was a little surprised. He didn't expect that Yang Jiangjie would continue to sing new songs in this episode.

But after what happened last time, he was relatively calm now.

I have to say that the melody of this song by Yang Jiangjie is quite good.

The lyrics are a bit lackluster, but the chorus is very memorable.

Compared to lyrics, Yang Jiangjie should be better at composing and arranging music.

After listening to the whole song, the most outstanding part is still the chorus.

After Yang Jiangjie finished his performance, Xu Kong clapped along with everyone else.

He didn't know if it was an illusion, but he always felt that when Yang Jiangjie came down, he looked at him several times.

"To me?"

It was not until Su Zhi gently tugged at his clothes that Xu Kong came to his senses.

He stood up and walked towards the not-so-big stage.

Xu Kong didn't introduce what song he sang.

But when he sang the first line of the lyrics, it sounded very familiar to everyone present.

The hit "Legend of Sword and Fairy" in the summer season, and also one of the most popular interludes in the whole drama, is the song "Always So Quiet".

This song was previously sung by Shang Yuxin, but this was the first time Xu Kong sang this song in public.

Compared with Shang Yuxin's version, Xu Kong's version has slightly different style.

Of course, Xu Kong was not so idle as to re-arrange the music or anything like that. It was originally just a simple performance segment.

"What a fool you are. Why would you sing this song when there are so many other songs to sing?"

After Xu Kong finished his performance, Xie Yiman couldn't help but complain.

There is no way. As a viewer who has watched the entire Legend of Sword and Fairy, I will inevitably think of the plot at that time when I hear this song.

Xu Kong just smiled and didn't dare to say anything.

Although The Legend of Sword and Fairy has been broadcast for several months, its influence has not decreased.

Even now, you can still see some fans of the drama scolding Xu Kong in the comment section of his Weibo.

I didn’t think much about it at the time and just picked a song at random.

Now after Xie Yiman's reaction, Xu Kong felt a little regretful.

Shouldn't have chosen this song.

“Why didn’t he sing the new song?”

Xu Kong's performance was over. Among all the guests present, there were Xie Yiman and Su Zhi, who had finished watching the drama, so they couldn't help feeling sad when they thought of the plot of "Legend of Sword and Fairy".

But compared to Xie Yiman, Su Zhi is less accustomed to speaking her thoughts directly.

There are also people like Ray Lui and Hu Shaoning, who have only heard this song but have never watched "The Legend of Sword and Fairy".

At this moment, I am more thinking that the lyrics of this song are very well written and the melody is good.

Only Yang Jiangjie's mind was filled with confusion and doubt at this moment.

In his opinion, he had clearly taken the initiative to sing the new song, which was equivalent to an invitation to a battle, so there was no way Xu Kong would refuse.

Unexpectedly, Xu Kong completely ignored him.

The temporary song change operation like in the first episode did not appear.

This made him feel like he had prepared for so long, but in the end he was just punching cotton.

If he wasn't recording a show, he might have confronted Xu Kong on the spot.

Perhaps it was because he was on the first episode of the show with Xu Kong, but he was completely ignored by the audience.

This also caused some changes in Yang Jiangjie's mentality.

Although these were not necessarily his truest thoughts, he was deliberately ignoring Xu Kong at the time, not looking down on him, and not taking him seriously.

But now, after recording the entire program, the person who received the most attention is Xu Kong.

It doesn’t matter, isn’t this just right?
If Xu Kong doesn’t sing the new song, then when the show is broadcast, the audience will focus on me.

There was no way Yang Jiangjie could comfort himself at this moment.

But before he had time to think about it, Su Zhi, the last performer, had already stood up.

"This time I will sing the second song from my new album."

As soon as Su Zhi opened her mouth, she revealed news that surprised all the guests present except Xu Kong.

After all, the program's song list is only known to the program crew, and the guests are not aware of it.

The first song "The Wind Rises" from Su Zhi's new album is a sure-fire hit.

So naturally, I was looking forward to the second song of the album, which was released after a few months.

However, Xie Yiman suddenly discovered that not only Su Zhi walked onto the small stage in front, but Xu Kong also followed her at some point.

Could it be that this new song is another duet between Xu Kong and Su Zhi?
You should know that since the song "As Long as You Are There" on "Singer" last year, although Xu Kong has been helping Su Zhi write songs, the two have never released a duet song again.

If it is true, this song in Su Zhi's album, regardless of its quality, will probably be extremely popular and a hot topic.

No wonder Xu Kong suddenly decided to participate in this variety show again after such a long time.

I guess it’s just to promote Su Zhi’s new song.
