On the evening of the 21st, the second recording of "China’s New Song" "The Five Powerful Battle" took place, and Jay Chou’s "Strongest Team on the Surface" stood on the arena. The younger brother Fei Yuqing served as the mentor, which was also the first time that Jay Chou and Fei Yuqing had combined in a mainland variety show since their cooperation with "Thousand Miles Away" in 2006. The two will also recreate the classic golden songs of that year at the "New Song" recording site.
"Internet celebrity" Fei Yuqing: Music is lubricant, jokes are MSG
Fei Yuqing, wearing a khaki suit, appeared at the "New Songs" conference this afternoon as the mentor of Jay Chou’s "Strongest Team on the Surface". As soon as he appeared, he was good at lively atmosphere, and the conference was full of laughter. The mentor Jay praised again and again: "You are the Internet celebrity of that era!"
Following their collaboration with 2006’s hit "A Thousand Miles Away", the two dedicated their debut on a mainland variety show to "New Songs of China". Fei Yuqing said: "For the first time, I will dedicate it to’New Songs’, I will give classic cooperation, and I will dedicate it to New Songs". And Jay said that he "looks forward to my brother telling a lot of classic jokes in the show". Regarding the reporter’s request for "a live chorus song" at the press conference, Fei Yuqing subtly "declined": "Now the chorus is too dry, there is no music substrate, and there is a little bit of lubrication." In the face of the reporters’ laughter, he said innocently: "Where did you think? If there is music, there will be lubrication."
"The atmosphere of the fight between Wang Feng and his team was too serious, and it was all me telling jokes. When I went to my own team, I was afraid that I would be nervous, so I relied on my brother to tell a little’funny joke ‘to adjust the atmosphere." In this regard, Fei Yuqing said helplessly: "The joke is a little out of ammunition," "The joke can’t be too heavy, it can’t be too light; it’s too light, it’s boring, it’s too heavy… So there are really few jokes that can pass safely between these two boundaries and make everyone laugh happily." However, Fei Yuqing, the younger brother, is also "not stingy" about sharing his jokes: "I have set up a’radar ‘for everyone, and I often go to the website to search for jokes. As long as there is a suitable one, I will share it with everyone." "When I go to the bathroom later, I will think about it carefully.
The little brother’s on-site "testimonials" made Jay couldn’t help but tease him: "Internet celebrities are very popular now, and you are the Internet celebrity of that era!" Fei Yuqing, who was labeled "Internet celebrity", said: "Jokes make everyone happy, artists, bring some joy, don’t be so serious."
Jay "Daddy" is full of temperament and takes care of the students in every way
After a period of teaching and singing, the "strongest team on the surface" will determine the top five. Jay’s mentor, who had just been promoted to Daddy, took care of and helped the students in almost all aspects during the preparation of the battle, bringing the style of "Daddy".
As a creative talent, Jay added Super Mario to the arrangement of students last year to amaze many audiences. This year, Jay put his hand forward again and made adaptations of some classic old songs, especially Fei Yuqing’s classic songs, which made the little brother who had seen the rehearsal yesterday "a great blessing". Fei Yuqing said that "listening to some old songs may not feel the same as you young people listening to them", but Jay made some old songs "so new", and he "doesn’t sound conflicted at all". This is Jay’s "delicate place".
In addition to musical help, Jay took great care of the students’ lives. Previously, during the blind selection stage, the sister was worried that the student Bao Shiyu would join the Jay team, and Jay Chou would take her to play games all night, but Bao Shiyu still joined the "strongest team on the surface". In fact, not only did Jay not forget his promise, saying that he "kept his word" and asked for the student’s game account the night before the battle, but also considering the student’s preparation status, "Because I usually play games until very late in the morning, I don’t want the game last night to affect her game today." "I got her game account in the middle of the night last night, and we can play together after the competition today."
After the recording of this game, there will definitely be five students who will leave "New Song". Jay also thought a lot about them after being torn, "I don’t want them to feel eliminated and it’s over." During the rehearsal, Jay had already given each student a big gift bag including hats, clothes, etc. In today’s team battle, Jay carefully prepared another big gift for the students who are about to leave, including records and audio players. Jay smiled apologetically and said: "Because the students are going to be eliminated, I’m a little sorry, so I left a little thought for them to send gifts." When Fei Yuqing heard this, he said that he didn’t bring any gifts, "I’m really sorry". Mr. Jaylen said "the little brother can bring classic jokes".
