After binding the entertainment system, she made countless top stars

The competition for the instrumental group ended when night fell.

After Zhou Weila finished playing "Carmen", the song had already spread in a small circle.

Dongzhou music critics generally praised this song highly, either because they appreciated Lu Wantang's composing skills or because they did not want to leave a bad impression on the local officials.

Nanzhou and Dongzhou have been in contact with each other for some time, and through the program "Singer", they have no contempt for the Dongzhou music scene.

Therefore, music critics in Nanzhou also praised it highly.

As for the music critics in Beizhou, ever since Linhai University won the performance contest, they have been like a sawed-mouthed gourd and have not been looking down on the music scene in the two southeastern continents for a few days.

Even when he published music reviews, they were basically about Kitasu's works.

It is said online that there have been several arguments within the music critic circle over the song "Ten Sides of Ambush".

A group of arrogant and conceited people just refused to admit the excellence of the song and kept saying it was unpleasant.

Now that "Carmen" has been released, coupled with the two pop songs in the group stage, if they continue to insist on their own opinions, the entire Beizhou music critic circle will become a joke!

Because of this, some music critics who were optimistic about Lu Wantang's works did not care whether they would offend anyone and openly published long music reviews about "Carmen".

Afterwards, relevant music reviews appeared everywhere on almost all platforms in Beizhou in a short period of time.

Many people who don’t pay much attention to college leagues and prefer to listen to songs recommended by music critics have therefore paid attention to Lu Wantang, a songwriter from Dongzhou.

As for how many people searched for Fang Shuyao, Lu Wanxing, and then Tangxing Entertainment and composer Zigui because of Lu Wantang.

Then no one will know.

But Lu Wantang had gained a lot of energy in the past few days, which made her very satisfied.

The instrumental competition, which would take at least three days, had not yet ended, but the elimination round had already identified four schools that successfully advanced.

Originally, everyone predicted that among the four qualified universities, three would be from North Continent, and the remaining spot might go to a South Continent school or an East Continent school, with the chances of both sides being about fifty-fifty.

The result was unexpected: among the universities that advanced, only two were from the North Continent, while the two Southeast Continent universities each took up one qualifying spot.

The university in Dongzhou stood out among several universities in Beizhou and Nanzhou and won unanimous applause.

In the living room the next morning, Yuan Wei mentioned this and circled the name of the school.

“Their performances in the exhibition and group matches were average.”

"But from the elimination rounds, we can tell that the overall level of music composition in this school is average, but not as good as the lyric writing. The five singers are quite talented, and it is said that four of them have signed contracts with Xingrui Entertainment and Baihua Media."

"We need to pay a little attention to this."

Regardless of whether they were serious or not, the people sitting on both sides of the long table lowered their heads and took notes when they heard this.

Yuan Wei nodded with satisfaction and continued:

"Although there are schools in Dongzhou that have managed to stand out from the elimination rounds and advance to the next round, the overall situation in Dongzhou is still not optimistic."

There was a bit more seriousness in her tone:

"People who pay attention to the rankings should have noticed that 13 colleges and universities from North Continent have advanced, 7 from South Continent, and only 4 from East Continent have advanced."

Just looking at the numbers, the number of colleges and universities that advanced from Beizhou is more than three times that of Dongzhou.

Anyone who sees this result will feel that Dongzhou is "hopeless".

No one present showed any surprise.

They had discussed it for a while after the results of the knockout round came out.

The final conclusion is: There may be people in Dongzhou who are relatively strong, specifically referring to Lu Wantang, but their overall strength is still far inferior to that of the other two continents.

Yuan Wei coughed lightly:

"I'm not saying this to add to your pressure. Whether before the competition or now, the development of the music scene in East Continent is indeed not as good as that in North Continent. This is well known, so you don't need to feel pressured."

Anyway, it can't be any worse.

"I just want to remind you not to be influenced by outside opinions. No matter what those people say, it has nothing to do with you. You represent your school and Dongzhou to participate in the competition. It doesn't mean that the development of Dongzhou music scene is not good. It's your problem."

In fact, Yuan Wei really wanted to say "participation is the most important thing", but she was worried that this would make the students relax, so she changed her words midway.

After giving instructions about possible public opinion in the near future, she turned around and wrote a few words on the whiteboard.

"Next is the focus of this meeting: the keywords drawn from the second group stage."

Lu Wantang and the others all looked up.

On the whiteboard, there are three new keywords circled by Yuan Wei, namely: Blue Star Common Language, Pop Music, and Life Insights.

The first two keywords are exactly the same as last time.

Lu Wantang once privately asked Qin Liao whether the topic they reported would also be changed into the form of three keywords.

At that time, Qin Liao gave a positive answer.

Therefore, in subsequent games, those two keywords may still come first in most cases.

Others know this too.

Therefore, their attention is focused on the third keyword.

"Life insights?" Jiang Xianyin was the first to ask, "Why is the theme so strange this time? Could it be that, like 'Youth', the inspiration came from an essay topic?"

Bai Lian replied: "Maybe it's really a reference to the composition topic. Don't you think that our creation and singing based on the theme is very similar to writing a composition?"

It really is so.

Several people present nodded in succession.

Lu Wantang thought thoughtfully: "Isn't 'youth' also a stage of life? The perception of youth is also the perception of life. Don't you think the subject matter overlaps to some extent?"

"It's not wrong to think so." Cheng Yueli raised his eyebrows slightly, "Like Wan Tang's two songs, they are very much like insights into life."

Lin Xingzi said with emotion: "Speaking of life insights, the first thing that comes to my mind is Teacher Zigui's song "Hills". I feel that there is no song more suitable for the four words 'life insights' than this song!"

Everyone present agreed with this statement.

Even Zhu Lin said "yes" for the first time.

Lu Wanxing and Fang Shuyao looked at Zigui Bengui in tacit understanding.

Lu Wantang remained unmoved and looked at Yuan Wei:

"Teacher Yuan, is my line of thought considered off topic?"

The latter shook his head: "Of course not."

"In fact, the scope of this theme is even broader than the last one. It is not an exaggeration to say that it includes 'youth'."

"The organizers may be worried that the contestants and the audience may not understand, so they specifically asked the host to explain it in detail after drawing the topic."

Furthermore, the topics selected by the host may come from major universities, from the judges, or even from music associations.

Theoretically speaking, it is possible to draw any strange topic.

The themes of both group matches were so normal that the organizers were quite disappointed.
