"I think the price they asked for is very reasonable.”Just as Song Chunfeng and the leader of the organizing committee were in a deadlock, the door to Sun Hao's room was pushed open and a voice came in.
The few people in the room paused for a moment before looking at the door. When they saw who it was, they were all very surprised, but their thoughts were very different.
"Little Qi, is that you?" When the team leader saw that it was Ren Xianqi, the judge of this competition, he couldn't help but be very surprised. However, after hearing Ren Xianqi's words clearly, he couldn't help but wonder why Ren Xianqi would speak up for these kids. So he asked Ren Xianqi doubtfully,""This…why would you say that?”
Because the competition was about to end, Ren Xianqi wanted to talk to the team leader about the award ceremony, so he couldn't find him backstage. Finally, he found out that the team leader had run here. However, because the team leader was talking to the Haotian band, Ren Xianqi waited at the door for a while and didn't knock on the door. However, after hearing their conversation, Ren Xianqi could not help but enter the room and interject.
"I think their performance just now is definitely worth this price. Of course, the final decision is yours. I'm just expressing my opinion as a judge.”In fact, when Sun Hao and the others performed, Ren Xianqi had already realized that these children were definitely not simple. Otherwise, they would not have participated in the finals of only ten bands at such a young age. When Sun Hao and the others performed, Ren Xianqi confirmed his thoughts. How could they not be simple? They were simply geniuses. Whether it was in the appeal of music or in singing, these young children were so outstanding.
What was even rarer was that Ren Xianqi had discovered the problem with the melody guitar and bass when Sun Hao and the others were singing " King of Karakorum ". After playing musical instruments for so many years, how could Ren Xianqi not notice that Song Chunfeng and the others were faking it? However, that was not important. The most important thing was that while the two of them were faking it, the young lead guitar player was actually playing the melody of three people at the same time. This surprised Ren Xianqi very much. Ren Xianqi, who was also very good at guitar, thought that he could not reach this level. However, the little boy in front of him actually performed at a superhuman level. How could Ren Xianqi not be shocked? So when he heard that Haotian was discussing the appearance fee with the leader of the organizing committee, Ren Xianqi could not help but walk into the room.
"This…Little Qi, we can consider your suggestion. This is not a problem that I can decide. I'll discuss it with the president when I get back.”The team leader said politely to Ren Xianqi. He could be angry with the members of Haotian Band, but he definitely could not be rude to Ren Xianqi. After all, Ren Xianqi had endorsed the entire company's advertising for several years. Moreover, Ren Xianqi was so popular now. If he accidentally offended this great god, it would not be something that a small team leader like him could bear. Therefore, the team leader said to Ren Xianqi with a charming smile.
"Okay, thank you.”In fact, Ren Xianqi hated Haotian because the audience reacted so strongly when they saw the passionate performance of the boys on stage. However, Ren Xianqi didn't say anything because the organizing committee was here. When Ren Xianqi saw that Sun Hao and the others were all singing his original songs, each of them was so beautiful. None of the four songs was worse than his famous song," Too Soft at Heart." Although there was a song called " Starry Sky " that sounded a little weird, it still sounded very good.
Therefore, Ren Xianqi came up with the idea of asking the songwriters of Haotian Band to help him write songs. Although the few people in front of him were all children to him, and it was a little difficult for them to write songs for him, who wouldn't want to have more popular songs to show in front of the public? So once this idea came up, Ren Xianqi firmly decided.
"May I ask who is the author of your songs?”Ren Xianqi asked the members of the Haotian Band with a smile after the team leader left.
Seeing Ren Xianqi talking to them, everyone except Sun Hao was flattered. It was amazing that such a famous celebrity was talking to them. At this time, none of them said anything but looked at Sun Hao.
When Ren Xianqi saw the looks in their eyes, he understood that his guess was right. In fact, Ren Xianqi had already thought about it before he spoke. Since he could play three melodies alone, how could he not make such a beautiful song? Therefore, Ren Xianqi said to Sun Hao,"Hello, how should I address you?"
"Sun Hao." Since Sun Hao liked to listen to Ren Xianqi's songs before his rebirth, he had a good impression of him, so he said politely.
"Um…I have a request. Can you help me write some songs?”After hesitating for a while, Ren Xianqi finally made up his mind and said his thoughts.
" This..." Actually, Sun Hao was very surprised when he heard Ren Xianqi's words. Little Qi actually asked him to write songs for him. This was a little difficult. It was not that Sun Hao was unwilling, but it involved many problems. If he gave Ren Xianqi his own songs that would last for two years at this time, not only would he feel embarrassed, but because the songs appeared in advance, it was very likely to delay Ren Xianqi's development. If he took someone else's songs, the style of the songs would be a big problem. Therefore, Sun Hao was conflicted at this time.
Seeing Sun Hao's hesitation, Ren Xianqi pulled Sun Hao over. The two of them chatted for a while before walking to the side of the crowd with a calm expression. No one knew what they had just said.
Not long after, the team leader came out of the meeting room. Seeing Ren Xianqi and the members of Haotian band together, he hurriedly took two steps forward and said to Song Chunfeng,""I spoke to our guild leader just now and conveyed Xiao Qi's intentions. Therefore, the president decided that 50,000 yuan was indeed a little too high. However, in order to express our recognition of your band and our respect for Xiao Qi, we have discussed and agreed that we can take out 30,000 yuan as the appearance fee for your performance just now. However, we have a small request. If you have any ideas about performing in the future, please give priority to our company's stage.”
In fact, after the team leader conveyed the Haotian Band's request to the president, the president immediately flew into a rage and roared,"This is too outrageous. A small band dares to negotiate with us. Isn't it just because the audience reacted a little enthusiastically?”
However, when he heard the team leader say that Ren Xianqi fully agreed with Haotian's request, the president suddenly fell silent. Ren Xianqi was a VIP of the head office. Although he was the president, he did not dare to offend this A-list celebrity who was good at film, television, and singing. Therefore, after hearing the team leader convey Ren Xianqi's words, the president considered for a long time and finally made a concession, offering 30,000 yuan.
"Alright, I hope we can work together happily in the future.”After receiving the team leader's promise, the members of the Haotian band all went to the stage.
At this time, the competition had already ended. Because it was just a performance for the public, there was no voting session for the audience. Instead, it was chosen by the judges. No one had any objections to this judging method because everyone knew that the judge this time was Ren Xianqi, and Ren Xianqi had always appeared in front of the public with a fair image.
Amidst the cheers of 60,000 people, Ren Xianqi and the ten bands of this competition walked onto the stage.
When the audience saw Ren Xianqi return to the stage, they burst into thunderous applause. Looking at the bands that had just performed on the stage, the enthusiastic audience also gave them the warmest applause. Because everyone felt that today's performance was really wonderful. Not only did they see the performance of their idol Ren Xianqi, but they could also enjoy the wonderful performance of the local Flower Band and the talents of the children in the Haotian Band. At the same time, the performances of the other bands were also very good.
After leading all the bands to bow to the audience, the host picked up the microphone and said to the 60,000-plus audience below the stage,"Thank you for coming, everyone. Our competition has ended. I believe everyone is very satisfied with today's competition. Our performance was very successful.”
At this moment, the cheers resounded throughout the stadium. Although the competition had ended, the audience did not leave. At this moment, the fans were waiting for the results of the competition. Although the ten bands performed very well, this was a competition after all. The champion and runner-up had to be determined.
At this time, the differences in the audience came out. Because almost all the audience was local to B City, a large part of the audience basically supported this local band. The Flower band became the focus of the band. As the best performing band in this competition, the audience felt that it was only natural for them to win the championship.
Another group of people supported Haotian Band. Although these children were not from B City, they had conquered a large number of people with their wonderful performance tonight. People believed that even in the country, there were not many people who could reach the level of Haotian Band when they were of the same age. Therefore, Sun Hao and the others also had their own fan base.
This group included Zhang Shuya. At this time, she was shouting the name of the Haotian band. She didn't even care if she was a lady or not. Zhang Shuya hoped that her shout could be heard by the judges because today, the boy who had met her twice had brought too many surprises to Zhang Shuya. At this time, Zhang Shuya's heart couldn't hold other singers anymore. She completely regarded Sun Hao as her idol.
"Next, let's invite our judge, Mr. Ren Xianqi, to announce the results of this competition.”The host looked at the audience below the stage. When he felt that the atmosphere was about right, he handed the microphone to Ren Xianqi.
" Little Qi…" A singer's personality was unique, and the effect it brought was different. Before Ren Xianqi could speak, the screams below the stage had reached a certain decibel limit. Ren Xianqi had to signal for everyone to be quiet before he began to announce the results of the competition.
"1999, the first Coca-Cola Cup, the National Band Competition, the third place winner is…Gear Band.”Ren Xianqi followed the requirements of the competition organizing committee and read the name list in his hand in a standard tone.
" Okay..." Although the audience did not support the Gears band as much as the Flower band, after hearing Ren Xianqi's announcement, they also gave the Gears band an encouraging applause.
The members of the Gear band were also extremely excited because they had never thought of going before participating in this competition. Obviously, they were especially surprised when Ren Xianqi announced that they had won the third place. A few of them laughed and did not know how to express their good mood for a moment.
"The first Coca-Cola Cup, the National Band Competition, the runner-up is…the Maglev Band.”Following the applause of the audience, Ren Xianqi immediately announced the winner of the runner-up. However, this time, the audience suddenly became chaotic.
Everyone thought that the top two of the competition could only be produced by the Flower Band and the Haotian Band. Because the performance of these two bands was very outstanding, no one expected that another band would get second place. Therefore, the scene became noisy. People were discussing why the judges would give such a judgment. No one knew whether the Flower Band or the Haotian Band had failed, but no matter which band failed, it was not a good thing. The audience, who were originally in a joyous mood, suddenly felt their hearts sink.
The maglev band did not expect their band to be the runner-up. In fact, before the competition, the maglev band was still very confident in winning the rankings because they thought that with their own skills, although it was impossible to get as high as the popular Flower band, they could at least get second place. However, after the Haotian band went on stage, their hearts suddenly cooled down because these children's performances were too wonderful. The maglev band, who knew their own level, thought that second place was out of the question.
Just now, when Ren Xianqi announced that Gear would be the third runner-up, they almost wanted to cry. They thought that Flower and Haotian would definitely be the top two, and Ren Xianqi announced that Gear would be the third runner-up. Then, their band would definitely not be able to get a place, so how could they not be discouraged? However, they did not expect that they would actually get the second runner-up. However, they were even more surprised when they thought about it. Wasn't one of the Flower Band and Haotian Band going to fail? This news shocked the members of the maglev band even more than they did.
At this moment, Song Chunfeng and the others were all nervous. Why was this the result? Could it be that Haotian really failed? But the audience was still very enthusiastic during the performance just now. What was going on? Song Chunfeng turned to look at Sun Hao. However, when he saw that Sun Hao was calm and composed without any signs of worry, Song Chunfeng's tense mood eased a little.
" The winner of the first Coca-Cola Cup National Band Competition is..." Ren Xianqi stopped and looked at the name list in front of him. He found it unbelievable.
"Flower, flower."
"Haotian, Haotian."
At this time, the cheers were divided into two groups. One group was the audience supporting the local band, Flower, while the other group was the fans supporting Sun Hao and the others. The audience who had been quietly waiting to receive the prize became noisy again when they saw that Ren Xianqi was not willing to announce the winner.
"The winner is…Flower.”Ren Xianqi found it unbelievable that he had voted for the Haotian band just now, but the name of the Flower band was engraved on the trophy that the hostess handed to him. Could it be that there was a secret operation? It was impossible. Even if that was the case, they had to inform him in advance. The organizing committee was too outrageous. At this moment, Ren Xianqi was prepared to find the organizing committee to ask for an explanation after the award ceremony.
"Flower, flower, I love you." When they heard that Ren Xianqi announced that the winner was Flower, the audience who supported them suddenly became excited. They all shouted the name of Flower in unison, and the original fans of Flower screamed even more.
"How did this happen?" After hearing the results announced by Ren Xianqi, Zhang Shuya seemed to have no strength at all. The light stick in her hand slipped to the ground. At this time, Zhang Shuya was very depressed. She didn't believe it and asked the students next to her,""Could it be that they didn't sing well? But I think they're very good. Why didn't they even get into the top three? This is too unfair." Seeing the boy's pure face on the stage, Zhang Shuya couldn't help but cry softly.
At this moment, Song Chunfeng and the others could not believe this result at all. Although they had not thought of winning the championship before coming here, after seeing the performance of the other bands during the competition, Song Chunfeng was certain that even if they could not win the championship, they could at least get a title with Sun Hao's song. However, why did they not even get into the top three?
Was it really because he and Lu Yifei forgot the melody when they were stretching just now, which affected the results of the competition? But didn't the organizing committee say that the song wouldn't be counted in the competition results? Could it be that the organizing committee had set up Haotian for the appearance fee? Thinking of this, Song Chunfeng turned to look at Sun Hao and found that Sun Hao was still smiling at him. He couldn't help but feel a little angry. He was still smiling at this time. This performance was a waste of effort. It was a full four months of hard practice, not even a day off. Now he was still in the mood to go to school. How heartless.
Just as all the people who liked Haotian's performance were feeling sad after hearing that the Flower band had won the championship, an etiquette lady walked up to the stage with a trophy and whispered a few words to Ren Xianqi.
Ren Xianqi immediately smiled after hearing it. Just as the audience did not understand what was going on, he picked up the microphone and said,"I believe that everyone is feeling sorry for Haotian's wonderful performance just now. Many people think that they should also win the championship, but I can't tell everyone that because they are too young and underage, according to the standards of the international competition, they are not allowed to participate in the adult competition. However, because this is China, and it is our first band competition, we did not add this. That's why the organizing committee has added a special award just now. The treatment will be the same as the first prize. Now, I'll announce that the winner of the Coca-Cola Cup National Band Competition's Best Duo Award is…Haotian Band.”
At first, no one understood what this award was about, but after hearing Ren Xianqi's explanation, everyone understood. It turned out that the Haotian band was too young, but the award they received was the same as the first prize. However, due to special reasons, they could not participate in the award. The prize money they received was the same as the first prize.
The prize money for this competition was set at one million yuan. The first prize was 500,000 yuan, and the second and third prizes were 300,000 yuan and 200,000 yuan respectively. Since Sun Hao and the others were treated the same as the first prize, they also received 300,000 yuan.
At this time, the audience below the stage finally let go. The people who were originally in a bad mood because Haotian Band did not receive an award joined the cheering crowd. For a moment, the shouts of " Haotian Band " resounded throughout the stadium.
At this time, Zhang Shuya heard that Haotian had also won the award. Although she didn't understand the specific situation, she still understood the same words as first-class. Zhang Shuya wiped the tears on her face and couldn't help but laugh, completely ignoring the ridicule of the students next to her.
Song Chunfeng couldn't help but admire Sun Hao to death. No wonder he saw Sun Hao smiling at him when he looked at him just now. It turned out that he had already known beforehand. He could even guess whether he would win the award or not. He was really amazing.
In fact, Song Chunfeng had wronged Sun Hao. Sun Hao had no idea that this would happen. However, when Ren Xianqi announced that the Flower band had won the championship, Sun Hao was also puzzled. Why didn't they win an award? Could it be that the songs from before their rebirth were not popular in this era? However, in order to encourage his teammates, Sun Hao smiled encouragingly at everyone. He didn't expect that he would be right. It seemed that after passing this competition, he had taken a big step on the road of music.
After going through the complicated award ceremony and participating in the organizing committee's celebration party, the few of them finally walked into the backstage lounge and sat on the sofa like exhausted dogs. This performance had exhausted the few members of the Haotian band. They were nervous and relaxed at times. Ten people could not take it.
The few of them changed their clothes and prepared to return to the hotel to rest after confirming that there were no reporters around the stadium.
"Can you please wait a moment?" When Sun Hao and the others were about to hail a taxi at the back door of the stadium, a girl's voice was heard.
