Chapter 18: Dealing with the PK, featuring 3 god-tier Chinese-style rap songs.

The old town was very quiet at night.

Inside the rented room...

Yang Xue gently patted Zhizhi's back to lull her to sleep.

In the past few days, Yang Xue asked for leave for Zhizhi due to training.

This is something that can't be done. In order to increase the chances of winning, Zhizhi needs to cooperate with Yang Xue's plan.

The interactive competition format on-site is quite different from that of music programs.

The former focuses on traffic.

The latter is based primarily on strength.

The scoring criteria for interactive PK are not only based on the content and skills, but also on the atmosphere created by the host.

In fact, controlling the atmosphere on-site is the core of the competition.

In the era of internet traffic, audience acceptance is the key to success.

Therefore, Yang Xue wants to cultivate Zhizhi into a secret weapon for her in PvP battles.

Imagine a 6-year-old girl singing, dancing, and rapping rhythmically; if she also knows a bit about basketball, the imagery would be incredible.

...

Yang Xue has compiled three of the most important rap songs.

They are:

Pan Shuai's "Happy Worship" is the music activated by the system.

Jay Chou's "Fearless" from a previous life

And the "Phoenix Baron's" "Landscape".

The reason for choosing these three songs is mainly to focus on the key to winning the game.

Despite the opponent's massive online presence and formidable strength, Yang Xue is confident of victory.

As the most representative form of music among the grassroots, hip-hop and rap generally focus on criticizing society, expressing individuality, and self-expression.

Therefore, people who like this kind of art tend to have strong personalities.

However, this art form did not receive a complete interpretation when it was introduced to China.

The young people only inherited its "flaunting of individuality" and the "rhythm" brought by the music.

To make the song rhyme; to make themselves look cool; to show off their amazing vocal skills;

In their creations, they neglected the most crucial element of this art form—the expression of ideas.

Yang Xue had listened to several original songs by hip-hop groups.

Although the song has a good rhythm and a strong melody, the content is appalling.

They perfectly borrowed the vulgar and violent trends from Europe and America.

However, the lyrics are all in English, thus perfectly circumventing online censorship.

Most of the members of the hip-hop group are from wealthy families and are spoiled rich kids.

And I've reached the age where I feel like I have nothing to hold onto in the sky and nothing to hold onto in the earth.

Arrogant and haughty, they mostly only care about their own feelings, so how could they empathize with Niko's tragic fate?

Therefore, aside from showcasing their individuality, their music is utter garbage in terms of content.

The emotions expressed are also full of concepts such as "depression," "degeneration," "pseudo-liberalism," and "self-worth as the core."

These kinds of songs spread a lot of negative energy to society, which is the most criticized aspect.

Yang Xue grasped this point, which is why she developed her current strategy for confrontation.

Since the content was the other party's weakness, she focused on improving the content.

The show opens with "Happy Worship," a song with a cheerful and lively rhythm and uplifting musical content.

Compared to hip-hop groups' rap, it has a more positive and uplifting driving force.

Moreover, it's system-activated music, with its own built-in energy, making it perfect for the opening.

Jay Chou's "Huo Yuanjia" is a piece of traditional Chinese music.

It possesses a unique aesthetic appeal through the collision of Chinese and Western musical instruments and cultures, and its creative form is also unique in this dimension.

It can intimidate opponents while also emphasizing the export of mainstream culture.

The final song, "Landscape Painting," was used to conclude the performance and elevate the musical content to another level.

Because this dimension simply does not contain any rap songs that praise the traditional Chinese landscape.

The landscape painting possesses a magnificent momentum and profound cultural connotation, which stirs the heart of anyone who hears it.

It has the ability to output cultural values, and it also conveys positive energy.

Although the music was well prepared, the square dancing was also going very well.

After preparing everything, Yang Xue continued to ponder.

"The music is ready, and the dance is almost done, but there's still one last step in post-production."

"However... the later stages will be a bit tricky."

Post-production includes sound optimization, backing track production, and atmosphere creation.

These require computer software and various musical instruments.

This is also what gives Yang Xue the biggest headache.

Because I have a very bad relationship with the company's post-production editor.

...

The video editing team at Xiaolong Media is a 20-year-old girl.

Her name is Gao Linlin.

This girl is incredibly capable.

First of all, she was an honor student in the music department of Kyoto University of the Arts.

Specializing in post-production of modern and electronic music.

At the same time, she is also a well-known DJ in the industry.

Through Jiang Xiaolong's connections, he can get jobs at nightclubs or private parties.

She handles 80% of the company's outsourced and business work.

Therefore, Gao Linlin is a very special person in the company.

She is capable at work and has a strong personality.

At the company, she'll do anything with people she likes, but with people she doesn't like, even greeting them depends on her mood.

Although this girl is incredibly arrogant, no streamer dares to mess with her.

After all, 40% of the company's revenue comes from her.

The unfortunate thing is that Yang Xue is exactly the type of person she is dissatisfied with.

Reason 1: Gao Linlin hates cheesy love songs that are full of bitterness and resentment the most.

And Yang Xue was the one who was responsible for the post-production of some of her love songs.

Reason 2: Gao Linlin admires strong people and dislikes people who talk nonsense.

Yang Xue's recent live streams have been far from satisfactory in terms of popularity.

They receive such high salaries but fail to make a difference.

In Gao Linlin's view, Yang Xuejian is a burden who only knows how to brag.

If it weren't for Jiang Xiaolong's sake, Gao Linlin wouldn't even bother making a live stream clip for her.

Now, things are much better; we suddenly have three more songs in post-production.

The outcome is obvious without even thinking about it.

Yang Xue felt a headache coming on as she recalled Gao Linlin's aloof attitude.

It's worth noting that she was very good at handling interpersonal relationships after she transmigrated.

But this girl is different; she's all about sealing her heart with cement, completely impervious to reason.

Even in public settings like company dinners, she showed no respect for Brother Long and pointed fingers at Yang Xue.

Even though Zhizhi gave her a clay doll as a way to ease the conflict between her and Yang Xue.

This girl can say it so seriously:

"Zhizhi, you're still young. Don't meddle in adult matters. You'll understand when you grow up!" These kinds of words...

These words made even 6-year-old Yang Zhiyao so angry that her eyebrows twitched...

Her five-year-old friends are more worldly-wise than this older sister.

Yang Xue looked at the three sets of sheet music she had prepared and felt a headache coming on.

"Sigh... the competition is imminent, this step has to be taken."

"Brother Long, it seems I have no choice but to entrust this heavy responsibility to you..."

"After all, as a professional 'shield taker,' you have your own experience..."

After making her decision, Yang Xue also took the opportunity to complain about Jiang Xiaolong.

Who told him to always brag at the dinner table about his past as a gangster who "takes the fall"?
