As the last note echoed in the huge room for a while, it finally dispersed into the air. Xia Yufeng and Qin Zhehao, who were standing at the door, looked at each other and smiled tacitly. They clapped their hands together and started clapping.
That was awesome! This was Xia Yufeng's first thought. When he usually wrote sad love songs, he was used to listening to sad songs and letting the sad melody seep into the quietest place in his heart, and then produce a resonance. In the resonance, he would let the feelings drift or fall as he wished, and then use words to surround the feelings that kept jumping.
When he heard this song, Xia Yufeng immediately felt very familiar.
" Haha, Xia Yufeng, you're finally back." Hearing the applause, the three of them looked at the door at the same time. Ning Xiaoru shouted excitedly when she saw Xia Yufeng and Qin Zhehao.
Xia Yufeng and Qin Zhehao slowly walked towards them and stood in front of Ning Xiaoru, saying,""Yes, it's over. I'm back.”When Lin Wanyu and Xiao Mu heard this, their hearts warmed.
Then, they asked Xia Yufeng about the training class and chatted. Lin Wanyu looked at Xia Yufeng and Qin Zhehao and said,""When did you guys arrive just now? Did you hear everything?”
"Not all of them, but it's about the same. I haven't seen you guys for a few days, and you've already practiced the tune very well. To be honest, Xiaoxia and I were completely immersed in it when we were listening at the door.”Qin Zhehao replied.
"Xia Yufeng, how do you feel?" Lin Wanyu turned her head and looked at him expectantly.
"I want to know which lyrics of mine this song was written based on.”Xia Yufeng asked.
"We picked three songs with lyrics to compose a song. They are 'The Sorrow of Hokkaida',' A Gift of Friendship 'and' A Single Eyelid Travel'. The song just now was 'The Sorrow of Hokkaida'.”Wan Yu looked at Xia Yufeng and explained carefully.
" The Sorrow of Hokkaido " was a story about a girl who waited bitterly in an empty city of love for a boy who had left without care.
Xia Yufeng recalled the content of the poem and felt it for a moment before saying,""Yes, this tune is soft and delicate, and it has a lot of feeling. It matches perfectly with 'The Sorrow of Hokkaido. Wanyu, thank you for your hard work."
Lin Wanyu was relieved to hear that Xia Yufeng was satisfied. Then, she smiled and said,""As long as you're satisfied."
The few of them sat on the floor and chatted happily under the warm autumn sun.
"Xiao Mu, do you still remember the original music competition that was all the rage?”Qin Zhehao asked Xiao Mu, who was born and lived in Beijing.
"Brother Hao, are you talking about the Dawn Cup? That original music competition had a great influence back then. At that time, I was still in my second year of high school. That competition made me and my friends who liked music extremely happy. We even gave up our third year of high school studies and started to form a band to train hard to participate. However, after signing up and waiting for the competition, the organizers announced that the Dawn Cup would be suspended. This news made those of us who dabbled in original music depressed for a while.”
When everyone saw Xiao Mu say these words, they found that his expression was full of regret and helplessness. Thinking about it, it made sense. Because she liked music, she had cruelly given up her studies to focus on music. She had originally wanted to use the stage of the Dawn Cup to make her music dream come true.
However, before he could stand on the stage, the lights were turned off. This was undoubtedly a very heavy blow to anyone.
Qin Zhehao patted Xiao Mu's shoulder and said,""Xiao Mu, I think those who have experienced the same thing as you will never forget the Dawn Cup, because it carries almost all of your musical dreams. The Dawn Cup Original Music Competition had been held for two years, and it had set off a wave of original music in China, injecting a clear stream of water into the turbid music industry.”
"When everyone was looking forward to the third feast, the organizer suddenly announced that it would be temporarily suspended. For this reason, the outside world began to speculate. The most talked about was that it was stopped because the black curtain was exposed. In fact, the real reason was that the conspiracy had been exposed, but it was a little ridiculous.”
" How is it funny? Hurry up and say it." Ning Xiaoru was engrossed in listening. Qin Zhehao paused for a moment, and she quickly urged him.
"Actually, one of the people who participated in the second competition was the daughter of a high-ranking leader of the country. She didn't get the corresponding ranking in that competition, so she had a fight with the organizers. After the organizers found out that she was the daughter of a certain leader, they also wanted to push her to the front. However, because the competition was broadcast live, there was no chance to change the results once they were released. The leader's daughter kept pestering her about this matter. Seeing that the organizers did not take any measures to remedy her, the leader was finally angry and began to look for problems with the competition.”
When Qin Zhehao said this, he shook his head and smiled."I really don't know if this leader is lucky or if the organizer didn't burn high incense and worship Guan Gong. On the day of the quarter-finals, a player who had been recognized and strongly supported by the majority of the netizens had performed badly. Because it was a live broadcast, although several judges had always been optimistic about him, they were still unable to give him high marks. Because of this, the player that everyone thought highly of unexpectedly stopped in the top four.
As soon as this matter came out, the netizens who supported him began to scold him all over the internet. They said that the judges were heartless and that they should not only look at his temporary performance. However, a competition was a competition. No matter how you performed normally, whoever performed well in the competition would be the final winner.
Then, the leader seized on this matter and said that the "Dawn Cup" had seriously violated the country's principle of fairness and justice in the competition. It cheated and harmed the public interest, and requested to stop it. It had to be known that this was the words of the country's high-level leaders. No one dared to deny it, and the relevant departments did not even investigate and directly asked the organizers to stop. Just like that, the glory of the Dawn Cup fell.”
After Qin Zhehao finished speaking, Xiao Mu sneered and said," This was simply bullsh * t. Did he know how many people's youth and dreams he had ruined by doing this?”
Xia Yufeng and the others understood Xiao Mu's feelings very well. He gave up everything to pursue his music dream, but he didn't expect to be murdered by power and selfish desires. This result was really unacceptable.
After Xiao Mu's scolding, everyone fell silent.
After a moment of silence, Lin Wanyu suddenly said to Qin Zhehao,""Brother Hao, now that you mention this, does it mean that the Dawn Cup will be held again?”
" That's right. After four years, the " Dawn Cup " has been renamed the " Breeze Cup " again for young people who love music and support original music to light up the stage and let go of their musical dreams.”When Qin Zhehao said this, it was obvious that he was very excited.
At the same time, Xiao Mu, who had been depressed just a moment ago, suddenly had a glimmer of light in his eyes. He stared at Qin Zhehao and said,"Brother Hao, is what you said true?”
"Of course it's true. Otherwise, why would I need you to form a team? In fact, the preparations for this competition had begun a year ago because the leader had retired a year ago. His retirement meant that his power had disappeared. Without his malicious suppression, the officials who had been optimistic and supportive of the competition reconvened and planned to resume the competition. "Now, everything is ready," Qin Zhehao explained to Xiao Mu word by word.
"That's great. I've finally waited.”When Xiao Mu said this, the smile on his face was very bright.
Qin Zhehao continued," Yesterday, I asked the organizers about the Qingfeng Cup. They said that the registration for the Qingfeng Cup is about to start. It's tentatively scheduled for December." Today is November 2nd. We have less than a month before the competition, so we have to hurry.”
"Brother Hao, what's there to be afraid of? We have three songs already written. As long as Xia Yufeng is given a few days to familiarize himself with them, he can officially perform them together with the music.”The carefree Ning Xiaoru was obviously excited as she spoke.
After Qin Zhehao heard this, he looked at the four of them and said,"Although we have three songs now, this is far from enough. I want you to practice the three songs well and create new songs in the limited time.”
"Brother Hao, you keep emphasizing the time. Do you have a plan in mind?”Based on Xia Yufeng's understanding of Qin Zhehao, he was a meticulous and comprehensive person. He had planned everything in his heart before he did anything, and this was even more so.
"Xiao Xia, you are indeed smart. That's right. I want you to practice these three songs as soon as possible because I want to put them on the music website as soon as possible so that more people can hear your music and get familiar with and like you through music.
If you are already familiar with and liked by the audience before the competition, when it comes to your competition, as they like your music, they will definitely support you with all their strength. This way, your support rate and attention will be much higher than the other contestants. To a certain extent, you have already won half of the other contestants.”
After a pause, Qin Zhehao continued,"Also, this is a large-scale competition. Although you can be considered strong, there will definitely be many strong players. Are you sure you can win against them? Even if you are ranked first, you still have to take into account other objective factors, such as the market and the rules of the entertainment industry.
In this entertainment industry, whether you were a Heavenly King or Queen, or a rookie who had just debuted, you had to constantly and desperately create topics. Only in this way could you not be ignored by the audience while the newcomers were springing up like mushrooms after a rain.
Therefore, you have to be preoccupied and snatch enough resources so that you can still have your own " market " in the face of the crazy competition from the rising stars. Only then will it be safe. As for the other matters, I will be responsible for arranging and handling them. All you need to do is work hard.”
"Brother Hao, don't worry. I'll familiarize myself with these three songs as soon as possible. Also, I was composing a new song during the training. I'll edit it as soon as possible and hand it over to Wan Yu to compose the song.”
After knowing Qin Zhehao's plan, Xia Yufeng was undoubtedly the one with the greatest pressure. They had almost mastered the three songs and were just waiting for him to master them.
In addition, after his collaboration with Lin Wanyu, there would be lyrics first, then music. Without lyrics, there would be no song.
"Mhm, now that Xia Yufeng is back, you guys have to familiarize yourselves with each other as soon as possible. In addition, Xia Yufeng, you and Lin Wanyu should put more effort into the new song.”
After Qin Zhehao finished speaking, he instructed everyone not to forget to balance work and rest while they were busy and not to tire themselves out. After agreeing to have dinner together to celebrate, he left.
As soon as Qin Zhehao left, Ning Xiaoru and Lin Wanyu hugged each other impatiently and shouted happily. Xiao Mu, who was equally excited, was beating the drum with all his might. The sound of the drum was as powerful as the surging passion and fighting spirit in his heart.
For Xiao Mu, he had worked hard, waited, and been frustrated. Now that he had the chance to reignite his dream of music, how could he not be excited?
But at this moment, Xia Yufeng's expression was calm. It wasn't that he wasn't excited, he was just a little worried. During this training, he had spent time with the elites of professional music academies. Xia Yufeng was very clear about their musical attainments.
Just think about how influential the Breeze Cup was when it was approved by the government. Although there might not be as many participants as Super Men and Fast Women, its significance was far higher than the pure "singing" competition of Super Men and Fast Women. If Super Male and Fast Female were considered entertainment, then the Breeze Cup, which required not only singing but also composing, was considered art. The biggest difference between the two was the fundamental difference in cultural attributes.
One focused on 'pure singing', while the other focused on a combination of' creative and singing'. Under the state's emphasis on 'focusing on building the economy and society, not forgetting to promote the prosperity of the cultural industry', the' Breeze Cup 'was an artistic and cultural event. At least the SARFT and other media would actively respond and cooperate with it. The attention and support of the netizens would also be higher.
The competition was of great significance. With a high level, the number of participants would definitely not be small.
If they were graded according to their musical attainments and cultivation, Xia Yufeng and his group could at most be considered to have become monks halfway. However, how many people like them had become monks halfway? There were also many orthodox monks in the temple.
Thinking of this, how could Xia Yufeng be excited?
However, Xia Yufeng was not someone who would only boost the morale of others and weaken his own prestige. He was not someone who would admit defeat and give up so easily. Now, his singing skills could almost be compared to a regular monk. As long as his works were excellent, he was not afraid.
Therefore, the only way for him to survive was to create better and more outstanding works, look down on the crowd, and even stand at the top.
