Zhang Yang's performance finally received 486 votes.
Although he was not able to advance unanimously like the previous two games, with 486 votes plus three votes from the judges, he still ranked first in the competition.
Regarding the fact that he failed to advance unanimously, Zhang Yang himself did not have much emotional fluctuations.
When he thought about it, as for literary and artistic works, how could any work be loved by everyone?
As long as it can be recognized by the majority of people, it is already very difficult.
He didn't care, but the contestants in the background had a falling out.
"Look, someone finally started to hate his work."
"Hey, I just said, if you are so high-profile in the first two games, you will definitely fall badly. Look, am I right?"
"Ruth must be taken one step at a time. If you take too big a step, it will be easy for you to lose track."
"Hahaha, seeing how he pretends to be calm on stage, he must be very anxious, right?"
After being eliminated by Zhang Yang, the contestants who were jealous of Zhang Yang were all fired up at this time and did not notice that even if Zhang Yang did not advance unanimously this time, he still ranked first in the competition.
As the competition progressed, Zhang Yang's performance not only attracted the attention of a large number of fans on the Internet, but in fact many contestants at the scene have also become Zhang Yang's fans.
Hearing those players who were jealous of Zhang Yang being irritated, these people naturally wouldn't tolerate them and started taunting them one after another.
"A bunch of rubbish are acting strangely again. If you have the ability, how about you get 486 votes?"
"Besides being jealous of others and praising the West, what else are you going to do?"
"My works are not good, my character is not good, and the rap circle is always looked down upon by people because of trash like you."
"You're right. In the past, bad money drove out good money in the rap circle. Now that Zhang Yang is so popular, it's time to follow him and change this situation."
"I agree that we should create more Chinese-style works to completely change the outside world's inherent impression of our rap circle."
"The most important thing is to get rid of all this garbage."
"Fuck! Who are you calling trash?"
"Brothers, fuck them!"
In the lounge backstage, two groups of people with different opinions and different factions quarreled again.
If the staff of the program team had not stopped them in time, they would have even fought.
The rap circle has always been called "street", "no nutrition", and "gangster culture", and it's not without reason.
The uneven quality of practitioners has prevented this form of performance from being recognized by the public.
And many rappers take this kind of public disapproval as a source of pride for them.
I always feel that I am the best in the world, and I can defy the sky and the earth and defy the air.
I never think that what the common people like is the one that can develop in a long-term and sustainable way.
Always flaunting one's own alternative will only make this form of performance drift further and further away from the public, until it eventually disappears in the long river of history.
There are countless such precedents in history.
Oh, they don’t understand history?
That's okay.
…
Under the urging and supervision of director Yan Zhixiong, the program "Rap Listen to Me" was launched simultaneously in the evening.
After the publicity and popularity of the first two episodes, the third episode gained great attention and views once it was launched.
Zhang Yang's work "Mountains and Rivers Ten Thousand Miles" has once again aroused widespread discussion among netizens on the Internet.
"Zhang Yang must be a top student in reality. Damn it, isn't this the geography of our Dragon Kingdom?"
"Hahaha, this is the first time I have seen so many famous mountains and rivers connected into a rap in this form."
"Not to mention, the style of today's song is completely different from his previous two works. It gives people a refreshing feeling."
"Hahaha, there are a lot of people like this online. I don't know how excited I would be if I met them offline. But online, you have to comment a few words to make yourself stand out."
"I think Zhang Yang's song today is too simple and has no nutrition."
"The simpler the work, the more difficult it is to create. Zhang Yang's song "Mountains and Rivers Ten Thousand Miles" already has the potential to break out of the music industry."
"You're right. Simple lyrics and simple melodies don't mean that anyone can compose them. Who doesn't know about the Yangtze River, Yellow River, and the Three Mountains and Five Mountains? But can you compose them into a rap?"
"Yes, the more familiar something is, the more difficult it is to create it. I think Zhang Yang's work can be aimed at people who don't like or recognize rap."
…
As expected by the program director Yan Zhixiong, today's program aroused widespread discussion on the Internet as soon as it was broadcast.
And in sharp contrast with the previous two issues, Zhang Yang's performance elicited two different views.
One view is that Zhang Yang's work today is too simple and not as explosive as the previous two works.
One view is that the simpler a literary and artistic work is, the more difficult it is to create, but once it is successfully created, it can be widely disseminated.
This confrontation between the two views not only did not worry Yan Zhixiong, but also gave him greater hope.
"Hahaha, the more opposition and collision of different viewpoints, the greater the sensation and the more people's attention it will cause."
Looking at the data reported by his subordinates, Yan Zhixiong laughed and said:
"The more attention and discussion there is on the Internet, the more successful our program will be."
"A unanimous positive review is definitely not as effective as the conflicting opinions of both sides who disagree with each other!"
"Continue to pay attention and report back at any time."
…
Zhang Yang ignored the fuss after the game.
He was lying on the big hotel bed, holding his head in his hands, staring at the ceiling and thinking about something.
"The game will only end in the last two rounds."
"I can reluctantly participate in the next round."
"The finals coincided with Brother Ran's Premier League debut."
"This time, it's our first group trip abroad as a group in Class 9."
"Compared with one, what kind of finals?! It's okay not to compare!"
Zhang Yang thought that he originally came to this rap competition to prove that his work could be liked by more people.
Now after three rounds of competition, he ranks first in every game.
Every piece of work has aroused great discussion on the Internet.
This is enough to prove that some people like his rap works, and many people.
As for whether to participate in the finals and whether to win a prize?
Zhang Yang really didn't care.
Compared with Class 9's first collective overseas trip, these competitions are not worth mentioning at all.
"That's it!"
"Tomorrow I will say hello to Sister Shu in advance so that their program team can have some buffering time."
After making up his mind, Zhang Yang smiled and turned on his phone and started chatting with his classmates.
…
Yan Zhixiong, who had been paying attention to the network data after the game, suddenly widened his eyes and looked at a comment on the social platform account of the program team in disbelief.
"The mountains and rivers of the Dragon Kingdom are boundless, and the culture of the Dragon Kingdom lasts for thousands of years. Any famous mountain or river has its own unique story. I look forward to this kind of promotion of the Dragon Kingdom's culture.
There will be more and more works.”
