Chapter 208 Improvisation? On-the-spot creation?
Wang Dazhong had a very clever plan.
He just wanted to ride the wave of popularity of "Love You".
Once "Love You" is released, the ratings for "The Voice of China" tomorrow night won't just be a matter of "breaking records," it'll be a matter of "going straight to the moon"!
Jiang Bai was looking down, her fingers unconsciously stroking the hem of her skirt, looking aloof like a forest sprite in deep thought.
Actually.
His mind was racing, like scrolling through short videos, with thousands of classic songs from the system's music library flashing by.
"What should we sing?"
"The Red Wish?"
"No, we just finished singing 'Gently Tell You,' and the transition is too fast. I'm afraid these middle-aged men's hearts can't take it."
"Rewind? Or Bubble?"
He has so many songs, and thanks to his popularity during the discount period, he's now as rich as someone who owns a music library.
"What should I sing? There are so many songs in the system, it's so hard to choose!"
But facing Wang Dazhong's expectant gaze, Jiang Bai cleared his throat and answered first:
"Um... I sing original songs."
Wang Dazhong's eyes suddenly lit up, like two searchlights turned on at full power.
Original work = "Love You"!
Jiang Bai simply smiled and shook her head gently. Her hair swept across the pearl earring, creating a breathtakingly beautiful effect.
"It's not the song 'Love You'."
"no?!"
Wang Dazhong's smile froze on his face, his eyes filled with astonishment:
"No...it's not 'Love You'?"
"Which song is that? Is it your previous song 'Baby'?"
"That song won't work either, it was already sung during the blind auditions, it doesn't comply with the rules."
Jiang Bai shook his head again.
"That......."
Wang Dazhong started to panic:
"Why don't you tell me the song title first, so that the band members can get ready quickly?"
Jiang Bai paused, a hint of confusion due to indecisiveness flashing in his eyes, and casually replied:
"Director, please don't worry."
"Let me think about it some more."
"I'll tell you later, okay?"
"......"
The lounge was deathly silent.
The photographer almost lost his balance with his equipment.
Wang Dazhong's heart skipped a beat for a moment, and he was completely bewildered.
Big sister! Great-aunt! My ancestor!
Li Ronghao's group is already making a big splash on stage, and you're telling me you haven't decided which original song to sing yet?
Are you confident in your abilities, or are you planning to improvise on stage?
No, improvisation?
Looking at Jiang Bai's calm demeanor, a crazy idea surged into Wang Dazhong's mind.
"You...you don't mean you're out of songs right now...?"
"Ready to compose a song on the spot?!"
"This is no joke!"
Jiang Bai smiled without saying a word, neither admitting nor denying.
Wang Dazhong was so anxious that he kept wiping his sweat, and he earnestly advised:
"Little Baizhi, listen to your uncle's advice."
"This is a top-ten to top-six elimination round! It's incredibly brutal!"
"Moreover, the contestants in Li Ronghao's group even pulled out their most treasured survival songs in order to win."
"At this critical juncture, we must prioritize stability!"
"What if you do a live performance and it goes wrong, or the song isn't catchy enough and you get eliminated?"
"I suggest you sing that already popular song, 'Love You,' you're guaranteed to win!"
Listening to the director's rambling, Jiang Bai nodded obediently on the surface:
"Okay, I understand, Director."
"I will be careful."
But in his heart, Jiang Bai was laughing wildly.
grasp?
With the boost from [Advanced Singing Skills] and the [System Shop]...
It's no exaggeration to say that he sang better and more steadily than the original singer!
"If you can't be sure about this, then nothing in this world is certain!"
"The system is the biggest cheat code! It's the biggest chassis!"
Jiang Bai waved his hand dismissively, sending Wang Dazhong away.
"Director, you go ahead and get busy. I'll let you know when I've thought it through."
"Don't worry, it will definitely be a surprise."
After saying that, he ignored Wang Dazhong and took out his phone again.
His demeanor... made it seem as if he wasn't there for a life-or-death battle, but rather to wait for takeout.
Wang Dazhong looked at Jiang Bai's actions, feeling both angry and amused, and could only let out a long sigh.
"He's insane, a truly genius madman."
.......
After Wang Dazhong left, the noise in the lounge surged back like a tide.
Zhao Xier was so anxious that she kept pulling her hair out, while the other three students had already started practicing their voices frantically in front of the wall, as if they wanted to grind sparks out of their throats.
Jiang Bai, however, sat calmly and steadily in the eye of the storm.
He silently rolled his eyes in his mind: "Wang Laoliu, Wang Laoliu, your little scheme is so cunning, the abacus beads are almost hitting my face."
The director's meaning was clear: singing "I Love You" would guarantee high ratings, ensure advancement to the next round, and be a win-win situation for everyone.
But Jiang Bai isn't stupid.
"The popularity of 'Love You' is already at its peak. Singing it again now would only be a brief resurgence."
"Not only did we waste the stage provided by the system, but we also couldn't squeeze the popularity value to its limit."
"I'm here to generate buzz, so maximizing profits is essential!"
His long, slender fingers tapped lightly on his knees.
Which song should we sing?
Jiang Bai's gaze fell on himself.
A pure white shirt with a Peter Pan collar, a retro plaid suspender skirt, and layers of pearl necklaces hanging down her chest.
This outfit looks just like something from the 1920s or 30s.
Those ladies from prestigious families, full of scholarly air, who traveled overseas to study.
"Style must not be broken."
"Since you've established the persona of a 'retro heiress' and a 'sweetheart queen,' you can't suddenly transform into a hot girl who headbangs in nightclubs."
"Those heart-wrenching love songs should be put aside for a while, otherwise the charm created by the song 'Gently Tell You' will be completely ruined."
"How about continuing to sing similar retro sweet songs?"
"After Yang Yuying sings, will she sing Teresa Teng's 'I Only Care About You'?"
"That won't work either. 'Gently Tell You' has already captured the hearts of middle-aged men and even the older generation. Adding another song with a similar style probably won't garner the most popularity."
"With 'Gently Tell You' as a precedent, the next song can't be too bad... Which one should we choose?"
Just as Jiang Bai was frantically searching the music library in his mind, he heard the hushed chatter of several eliminated contestants.
"Hey, the National Day holiday starts tomorrow, have you guys bought your tickets home yet?"
"I bought it, I bought it. After recording this episode, I'll fly back overnight. My mom said the crabs at home are all steamed."
"I really envy you guys being able to go back. I have to stay in Kyoto to work and earn a living..."
