On January 7th, the third day of the holiday, the crisis outside continued.
Prices are still rising by themselves, society is still in turmoil, large shops are closed, unlucky guys on the rooftop start to line up, and even Baihe Gymnasium is affected.
Specifically, a large number of students who should have come to the gym to perform "winter vacation practice" in the past two days have chosen to drop out.
After all, the tuition fees for the gym are also very expensive, and the situation outside is so messy, so there is no way to choose to drop out of school.
In response to this, Qian Wei, who was responsible for the temporary presidency of the gym, expressed her understanding and even patiently called every student, reminding them not to give up their daily self-practice.
Of course, those adult students who are purely messing around will never die.
In the end, there were only nine students who chose to stay in the gym, including seven boys and two girls.
The reasons why these nine students chose to stay were basically the same. On the one hand, the family conditions were relatively good. Even if the economy was in a downturn, the tuition fee would not be less. At the same time, the family was relatively close, so there was no need to worry too much about safety issues along the way.
As the number of people rapidly decreased, the gym, which was always lively, suddenly became empty.
The temporary teacher who was hired to solve the problem of insufficient staff and the part-time cleaning lady also lost their jobs one after another.
Now, the sanitation mission of the gym is presented by Rosen, Hoddle and Alvin.
As for teaching, it completely falls on Qianwei. Anyway, there are only a few students in total, and it is enough to teach one person.
Although the gymnasium was on the verge of bankruptcy in an instant, the large-scale venues that were spared also allowed Xueli, who was forced to go out at will recently and was bored to practice martial arts at home, finally had room for casual use.
It has to be said that after the three-dimensional attributes were strengthened, the girl with solid basic skills and strong theoretical foundations finally began to accumulate strength and her martial arts level has been in a stage of rapid growth recently.
She can already do many conventional martial arts techniques at will.
Even some difficult skills can be used skillfully in Sydney.
In the simulated actual combat confrontation, Rosen and Hodel, two unlucky senior brothers, were both successfully crushed by their junior sisters. Even if Qianwei came on stage in person, she could only rely on more practical skills to forcefully suppress Xueli.
However, judging from the current development momentum, it is estimated that if Sydney goes through more training, she may really not be able to beat a cheating deer.
At this moment, in a corner of the empty gym, a beautiful girl holding a long sword in her hand, stepping forward with one sword, and one sword faster than another.
With the rhythm of the pace, the black hair kept flying, and the unparalleled face made it the most eye-catching scenery on the training ground.
Just as Martial Arts Sword Master Xueli's experience value soared wildly, Alvin did not practice with his girlfriend as usual, but sat on the futon beside him, holding his cell phone and bringing his headphones.
He is listening to music.
In the past two days, two songs have suddenly become popular under the overwhelming publicity, and at the same time, they are in the most prominent position in the promotion. These two songs have another label.
——The big investment magic movie being filmed, the theme song of "The Exorcist of Hell".
That's right, this is Alvin's own company, the Hell Gospel Culture and Entertainment Company, a subsidiary of the Spiritual Church, is doing things.
Sometimes, things in the world are so magical.
When the economy was in a downturn, prices soared, and factories went bankrupt, entertainment industries such as movies, TV, dramas, and music suddenly rose against the trend and began to show explosive prosperity.
Behind this special situation, on the one hand, the upper class of the United States began to make efforts in this regard, trying to reduce social chaos and public uneasiness.
On the other hand, this has a very important relationship with the most cost-effective way of entertainment.
After all, in this era, as an extremely mature industrial product, the price of television is really not expensive.
On the second-hand trading platform in Ryan City, you can buy 80% of the new second-hand 45-inch LCD TV for 100 yuan, and the new one is only 500 or 600 yuan.
After having TV, you can just pay some electricity bills to watch. Anyway, there is no charge for TV signals in the United States, so there are more advertisements.
Under this trend, Hell Gospel Culture and Entertainment Company released the theme songs of the movie customized on January 1 - "The Overture of the Hell" and "God of God". It keenly seized the opportunity and spent a lot of money to promote it. It finally made a big splash, both of which were among the top ten new songs of the United States' authoritative music website this week, ranking fifth and ninth.
For Barbara and Chen Xun, who sang these two songs, this was also an overnight success.
By the way, Hell Gospel Culture and Entertainment Company successfully fired the first shot to enter the entertainment industry.
Out of curiosity, after learning about the news from the Archbishop's exclusive "The Spirit Behind" 001, Alvin specially searched and paid to download the two songs.
After listening to it personally, he felt that these two people were on the list, but it was not just because the church spent money.
As elites selected from thousands of people, Barbara and Chen Xun's singing skills are not top-notch, but they are definitely top-notch. At the same time, the lyrics and songs of the two songs are obviously from masters, which is surprisingly in line with the current social situation.
Among them, "Overview of Hell" is regarded as a "war song".
The theme is "Even in desperate situations, you must have hope and never give up."
The whole song is sad in the early stage and high-pitched in the later stage. The lyrics are tragic and unyielding shouts, as if a brave man in blood raised the broken sword in his hand with his broken palm and launched a never-ending charge towards the darkness.
There is no doubt that this song is undoubtedly very suitable to be sung at this time to inspire the people to jointly respond to disasters and difficulties.
Therefore, "Overview of Hell" can enter the top five in one fell swoop, and Alvin speculates that there are definitely political considerations.
As for the ninth "God of God", whether it is the delicateness of the lyrics or the overall feeling of sound, in fact, in Alvin's opinion, they are better than "The Overture of Hell".
However, the "religious atmosphere" of this song is obviously much stronger than the other one, which may be the main reason why it ranked lower than its own brothers in the end.
"God of God" vaguely expresses a "warrior" praying to the messenger of hell with a slightly clear tune.
He prayed for the power to expel the evil spirits of the world and protect the world from evil and abuse. He also prayed for his own efforts to cleanse the sins of his relatives who fell into hell and to be forgiven.
However, the private goods of this song are actually very hidden.
Therefore, if ordinary people do not carefully consider the theme, it is easy to regard the theme as "a wish to the souls of their relatives, and hope that the great ones can protect the souls of their lives from hell."
In this regard, the great "Yeah" said that even if the music critics will definitely break the private goods inside and crush them to the public in the future, they will also need to "add a chicken leg" to write the lyrics.
After all, this trick is so beautiful.
Not only did it accidentally hit the main theme of the people missing the deceased after the sudden disaster, it laid an environmental foundation for the popularity, but it also reserved enough topics and propaganda of faith for the subsequent follow-up.
Of course, if we summarize the theme of these two songs, the core content of the movie "Hell Exorcist" has actually been revealed.
In the director's statement, that is, struggle under God's grace and redemption on the soul.
And this is exactly what the psychic church wants to take the opportunity to convey to the outside world.
It can be said that the Archbishop Flomingo, who dominated all this behind the scenes, wanted to grab the audience's neck and shout, "Believe in my Lord, you will be liberated!"
Alvin expressed his satisfaction with this, and even took advantage of the time when Sydney was resting, and heard it with her one headphone...
Then, after listening for a while, Xueli took out her cell phone silently, but didn't know what she had checked, and suddenly said:
"Alvin, the Internet said that the crew of "Hell Exorcist" will come to Ryan City to film in the past two days, and are currently recruiting extras. Why don't we sign up to try it out?"
