The King of Crossover Entertainment.

Chapter 21 0021, I would like to call it the strongest [Please collect, please vote]

The campus singing competition jointly organized by Penguin Entertainment and Shanghai Conservatory of Music has been held for five sessions. In the previous sessions, the attention was not high because Penguin Entertainment was in its initial development stage. But now that Penguin Entertainment has become the leading entertainment company in China, the attention of various activities and competitions it organizes has increased accordingly.

The finals will last for one month from October 10th to November 18th.

Only users who have registered a Penguin Music account for more than three months have the right to vote and can choose to vote for three songs they like.

At twelve o'clock noon that day, there were countless listeners waiting in front of their mobile phones and computers.

Chen Cheng is one of them.

He is a music agent of Zhanlan Music Group. Listening to songs is secondary. His main goal is to discover some good singers.

Because Penguin Entertainment will only give out one formal contract and two to five trial contracts in each campus singing competition.

Zhanlan Music always manages to pick up some leaks. Although they are not as good as first-tier singers, they are always among the top second-tier singers.

Chen Cheng put on his professional headphones. As a music agent, he not only has to do his job well, but also has to discover new talents with potential.

"Listen to it sooner and send out the invitation sooner."

There are two lists on the final song interface. The left one is ranked according to the comprehensive scores of the preliminaries, and the right one is ranked according to the current number of votes.

In just a few minutes, the number of votes exceeded one thousand.

"Crying" is a very difficult song. The highest note is the high 5 in the key of E.

"As expected, he received a 9.5 overall score in the preliminary round. He sang better than some professional singers."

Honestly speaking, those who ranked in the top 20 in the comprehensive score of the preliminary round had excellent singing skills and completed the songs to a high degree.

but……

It always feels like something is missing.

Yes, emotion.

They fail to grasp the emotional expression in their singing, either they are whining or they are pretentious.

Singing is the art of emotion. Having "voice" but no "emotion" is just a show-off of voice rather than an art of singing. "Singing with emotion" is the soul of singing art.

Having "emotion" but no "voice" is pretentious; without the means to convey the "emotion" and without artistic techniques it is not real art.

In the art of singing, emotional expression is of paramount importance.

The emotional expression in singing art comes from the singer's experience of real life. Only by fully analyzing and understanding the work and accurately using various means of expression can the content and emotion of the work be profoundly reflected.

It was not without gain. After listening to the first 20 songs, Chen Cheng thought that two of them were pretty good. Zhao Xuan, who ranked first in the comprehensive score of the preliminaries, and Liang Xixi, who ranked eleventh, had their final songs currently ranked first and ninety-sixth in votes.

"As expected, the champion of this campus singing competition is Zhao Xuan."

The champion can get a direct contract from Penguin Entertainment, which is generally not possible for other companies to poach him, but Liang Xixi can give it a try.

Chen Cheng sent a message to his friend at the Shanghai Conservatory of Music via WeChat, trying to get Liang Xixi's contact information.

"There are more than 500 songs..."

Chen Cheng rubbed his temples. This year's workload was several times greater.

So he changed his strategy and listened to the remaining songs in a random manner.

"what……"

Three hours later, Chen Cheng yawned, checked the progress, and only listened to half of it.

Because for some songs, you can judge whether the singing is good or not just by listening to a few sentences, so you can directly switch to the next song.

Just when he was about to take off his headphones and take a break, the prelude of a song began.

"what……"

The Chinese drums used are rare and the rhythm is very exciting.

Chen Cheng clicked pause and took a look at the introduction.

"Original song "Dragon Fist", preliminary overall score 6.8?"

The expectations have been lowered a lot, but the comprehensive score of the preliminaries is still of reference value.

However, it’s different when I see that Wu Zhongyu is involved in the arrangement. He is the director of the Composition Department of the Shanghai Conservatory of Music and one of the famous arranger masters in China.

Chen Cheng adjusted his headphones and clicked play.

After the overwhelming momentum of the Huaxia drums, a few crisp and melodious chimes were added, followed by the most trendy hip-hop DJing and electric guitars.

An interesting prelude that blends Chinese and Western instruments.

"The Northeast and East with Dunhuang as the center

The coastline of this people is like a bow
The Great Wall is like a dream waiting to be shot for five thousand years
I use my arms to pull away the weight of this entire land

What to write about in The Wind Going South from the Mongolian Plateau

Do Chinese characters understand the same skin color and face?
Cross the Yellow River East and climb to the summit of Mount Tai

I turned westward and the north wind blew my skin into bronze..."

These are very well-written words that encompass Chinese culture in just a few sentences.

As a Guzheng solo came on the single track, Chen Cheng's legs began to tremble unconsciously.

"Longing for blood connection

Infinite millions of brothers

I unsealed the heaven and earth and emptied out the Yangtze River water
Man in the Transformation of Ancient Riverbed
I opened the sky with my right fist and turned into a dragon
Move the mountains and rivers again and fill the cracks

Adjust the time and space of the sunrise in the east

Return to the primitive world to dominate and manipulate…” The chorus sounded.

Chen Cheng felt as if the blood in his veins was burning, and the national sentiment engraved in his bones was aroused.

Although the world is united, we still need a variety of cultures to flourish in order to make life more colorful.

Chinese culture is extensive and profound, with a long history and rich heritage, and its charm should be shown to the world.

Ten years in the industry.

I have listened to countless songs, but it has been a long time since I was moved to tears and my blood boiled by a song.

The music and arrangement of this song "Dragon Fist" are highly compatible, and it can be a very excellent piece of instrumental music when taken alone.

The arrangement is too strong.

The paragraphs of lyrics, as well as the punctuation and flow when singing are all very wonderful.

It can be said that the five aspects of lyrics, music, arrangement, production and singing are all perfect.

Chen Cheng suddenly felt a "pa pa pa" sound on his face.

sloppy.

He would like to call this Yunfeng and this song "Dragon Fist" the best in this campus singing competition.

A champion in his mind.

But why is the overall score of the preliminaries so low?

"No, we must find a way to sign Yunfeng."

Original singers who are strong in singing, lyrics and composition have broad development prospects.

While Chen Cheng continued to ask his friends at the Shanghai Conservatory of Music for help in getting Yunfeng's contact information, he also notified the company's senior management about this matter.

The Blue Music Group's ranking in China's music industry is neither high nor low, and it needs a newcomer with strength and ability to break through.

Shanghai Conservatory of Music, dormitory building, room 404.

Xia Dachuan held a mobile phone and sighed, "How come there are only 108 votes? I have canvassed for votes in the WeChat chat groups of elementary, middle, and high school classes."

Li Junyi said: "Not only classmates, I even asked my relatives, and my girlfriend's side as well."

Xiao Tianpeng said: "There are problems with this competition system and rules. There are too many songs in the finals, and each person only has three votes. 90% of people will not listen to all the songs before voting."

Yunfeng was typing very calmly.

I have tried my best, and the rest will be left to God.

Besides, this is only the first day.

He opened WeChat Moments and posted the first 20,000 words of his novel Cat's Eye.

Since it is written as an essay, there is no need to be so particular. Moreover, it is not a novel of millions of words. If the chapters are too short, it will reduce the appeal of this short story.

Yunfeng still retains the original flavor of the novel "Cat's Eye", and only modifies some people, place names, and events that appear on Earth but not on the Blue Planet in the novel, which has little impact on the story itself.

After sending it, it was already 11:30 in the evening.

This happens to be the peak time for checking WeChat Moments. How can I fall asleep if I don’t play with my phone for an hour or so while lying in bed?

There are usually no updates to "Zhu Xian" at night, so many fans keep an eye on the Weibo of the cross-border king to see if any essay stories have been released.

at last.

A few days after that brief preview was released on WeChat, the full text was released.

An experienced reader can finish reading 20,000 words quickly by reading ten lines at a glance, while a novice reader has to read every word and sentence, which takes a lot of time.

Xue Jiayi is a novice in reading.

"Zhu Xian" has 20,000 words updated every day, and sometimes she can't finish reading it in a day.

"what……"

When Xue Jiayi just started watching "Cat's Eye", her roommate Su Feiyan screamed on the bed.

"Fei Yan, what's wrong with you?"

Xue Jiayi asked hurriedly.

The other two roommates also looked towards Su Feiyan's bed with concern.

Su Feiyan replied tremblingly: "I... I was reading the essay story posted by the cross-border king on WeChat circle. It's... a little scary."

"No way, Feiyan, how scary can a random story be?"

“Who is the crossover king?”

The other two roommates have not watched "Zhu Xian" and are not fans.

Xue Jiayi's hands trembled for a moment, and she said, "No, that's impossible. Is Cat's Eye really that scary? I won't watch it then."

Su Feiyan's bed was next to Xue Jiayi's. She crawled over and said, "It's scary, but also very beautiful. Jiayi, let's watch it together. It won't be so scary for two people."

Xue Jiayi opened the quilt and let her in, saying, "Okay."

however……

The scream turned from one to two and then to four.
