Cannon fodder dressed as a disabled marshal

I was immersed in the music just now, and no one in the classroom noticed the outside. At this time, following Shen Qiran's gaze, I found the dean and his party, and the one standing at the front——

"His Royal Highness Esther?!"

The students and Teacher Nuolier got up quickly and saluted His Royal Highness Esther together. Shen Qiran was startled, and also saluted according to the rules.He didn't know why Esther appeared here, but inexplicably remembered the scene when he saw Viscount Kenze while waiting for the interview on the day of the entrance exam...

Has Esther already started to lay out his forces?Is Moria College one of his goals?

Esther walked up to Shen Qiran and smiled at him.

"It's the first time I know that your piano skills are so good."

Shen Qiran didn't want to talk to Esther at all, but in front of so many people, he couldn't turn his face directly, so he could only forcefully smile.

"Your Highness is wrong."

"When did you start learning music?" Esther asked, "Is it the days when I left the capital?"

"Well, just a little interest."

As if she had completely forgotten the unhappiness when the two of them were alone last time, Esther smiled and said: "It seems that we really need to catch up... Are you free tonight? Maybe we can have dinner together?"

The dean and others who had been worried that the two would fight: "..."

Wait, so Her Royal Highness Esther and Mrs. Marshal are old acquaintances?It seems that the relationship is not bad...

Clarice was also shocked.

Who is this young man?Why can His Royal Highness Esther be so favored?You know, even the most favored self has never been invited to have dinner by His Royal Highness Esther!

And what shocked Clarice even more was still behind——

"Sorry, Your Highness." Shen Qiran smiled politely, and refused simply, "I'm not free tonight."

"I'm not free tonight, another day is fine." Esther said, "You can set a time."

"I can't decide on this, Your Highness, I'm afraid you have to ask Marshal Shao Xing." Shen Qiran showed a harmless smile, "After all, my night time is his."

The two looked at each other, an indescribable undercurrent surging.After a while, Esther sighed first and shook her head slightly.

"Well, that's a pity."

Even though he was rejected very rudely, His Royal Highness did not leave immediately, but instead sat in the last row of the classroom, as if he was going to listen in.The dean and the others dared not object, so they could only sit on the sidelines.

Therefore, in the second half of the class, all the students in the professional music department were nervous, and the always bright and lively teacher Noriel was so nervous that she slipped her tongue several times.Shen Qiran looked indifferent on the surface, and was quite nervous in his heart, for fear that Esther would find fault with him again, but fortunately, the other party didn't make trouble again, and listened to the whole class quietly, and then left.

On the way to the dean's room, everyone was extremely silent.

Dean Moti and the others felt that they had witnessed an undercurrent confrontation with their own eyes. His Royal Highness Esther seemed to be very close to the Marshal's wife, but in fact it was just to humiliate the Marshal, so the Marshal's wife retaliated unceremoniously... Ah, Could it be that this is a political struggle, so dangerous and fierce, it is true that there is no sound here!

Of all of them, Clarice had the most intense inner drama.

When she was listening in just now, she had already quietly asked others, and she was shocked to learn about Shen Qiran's identity - it turned out that he was the marshal's wife who was hotly discussed on the star network a while ago!It's just that all the pictures of the other party wearing a mask are circulating on the Internet, so she didn't recognize it immediately.

But so what?

As the marshal's wife, can she refuse the invitation unceremoniously, and shame His Royal Highness Esther in public?Who gave him the confidence!

Thinking of Esther's focused and obsessed eyes when she stared at the other party's performance, Clarice's mood was even more mixed.The outside world thinks that she is the new love of His Royal Highness Esther, but this is not the truth.The reason His Royal Highness Esther is willing to support her and bring her to the capital has nothing to do with feelings, it is just because of "that plan", so he needs her talent in music.

But... what if someone else, a better fit, comes along?

What if His Royal Highness Aise thinks that person's musical talent is far superior to his own, and wants to change the plan and let the other party take his place?

Unwillingness and jealousy surged in her heart, mixed with a trace of fear of being abandoned, Clarice lowered her eyelids to hide the glare of resentment in her eyes.

The episode of this recorded class was quickly forgotten by Shen Qiran, because he became extremely busy: the year-end exams of various departments started one after another, and everyone was engaged in intense preparation and review.

Although Shen Qiran is very good at playing music, the curriculum of the professional music department not only includes performance, but also other miscellaneous categories. He also wants to win the first-class scholarship with an excellent rating. Naturally, he has enough 12 points Get ready.

Time passed quickly, the year-end exam was finally over, and the result calculation came out soon. Shen Qiran steadily got the No.1 in the professional music department. Not only did he get a scholarship as he wished, but it also meant that he had a ticket to participate in the "Charity Celebration" .

"Qiran, which event are you participating in?" Ou Rui flipped through the registration form in his hand, dazzled.

Ou Rui did well in the year-end exam this time. He passed the No.3 exam in his department and is also eligible to participate in the celebration.Many activities will be held during the celebration, but they can only choose one of them to participate in. As students of the professional music department, their choices include: participating in live music performances, online broadcasting on Star Network, or cooperating with other departments, such as co-organizing Music stage plays, audio picture books, music radio plays, etc.

The winter vacation is about to begin, and they must determine the activities to participate in before the holiday, and the college will uniformly apply for permission to each platform hosting the event.

Shen Qiran didn't want to rely on his status as the "marshal's wife" to attract attention, so he passed all the activities where he wanted to show his face.

"I'll go to the recording and broadcasting cloud platform to release the recorded song."

"What?" Ou Rui almost thought he heard it wrong, "You want to post a recorded song?"

With Shen Qiran's strength, Ou Rui originally thought that even if the other party didn't choose the star network live broadcast, he should at least participate in a live performance or something. After all, live performances that can effectively use mental power are the most popular mainstream performances today; followed by the star network live broadcast , with the help of holographic technology, the music effect can also be transmitted well.

The recorded song belongs to the bottom selection.Not only because the loss rate of recorded songs is relatively high, but also because many people’s listening devices cannot meet high-level standards. When a recorded song with a fairly good effect is transmitted to people’s ears through low-quality media, the effect of mental power may be gone. There is not much wear left, and the original charm of music cannot be played at all.

If the experience of live performance is like living in a luxury hotel, the holographic live broadcast of Xingwang is living in a neat and clean standard room, and the experience of recording music is probably like sleeping on a hard bed without a bed.If it weren’t for the inconvenientness of live performances and star network live broadcasts, and recorded songs can be listened to at any time with a headset, I’m afraid this branch of the industry would have declined and died out long ago.

"There's nothing wrong with recording a song, I usually listen to it." Shen Qiran directly began to fill out the application form, "I'll just choose this."

Ou Rui thought it was a pity at first, after all, the traffic of the recording and broadcasting cloud platform was far inferior to the big platforms such as Xingwang Live, but thinking of Shen Qiran's identity, he silently shut up again.

Others participated in the event to make a good future for themselves, so they squeezed their heads to go to big platforms with high traffic and high attention, but would Shen Qiran be short of this popularity and traffic? ?Maybe people just want to have fun, as a pastime ten-day tour, naturally they want to go wherever they want.

Ou Rui was not the only one who had this kind of thought. Teacher Noriel was also shocked when she saw Shen Qiran's registration form, but she thought that the other party might just come to join in the fun, so she thought it was very reasonable.So the registration form was passed up layer by layer. Although the people who handled it were a little surprised by Shen Qiran's choice, they didn't explore too much, and quickly opened the permission of the recording and broadcasting cloud platform for him according to the process.

"What? He doesn't do holographic live broadcasts, but releases recorded songs?"

In a certain room, Clarice almost couldn't believe it when she heard the news from the academy insider.

As one of the most watched large-scale events in the empire, the "Charity Celebration" has always been an excellent arena for talents in various fields to compete for excellence, and a fight can only be lively if there are audiences to support it, especially music is extremely dependent on spiritual power. Live performances are also subject to geographical restrictions, so holographic live broadcasts are generally the preferred platform for music department talents.

But this marshal's wife unexpectedly chose such an unpopular recording and broadcasting cloud platform. He didn't care about fame and fortune, he just wanted to join in the fun, or he was very confident in his own strength, and felt that even if it was recording and broadcasting songs, he would still Can it attract countless people's pursuit and attention?

Clarice's inner tendency is the former, because the informant told her that the form submitted by Shen Qiran had a request for anonymity, so when Moria College submitted the information to the recording and broadcasting cloud platform, it deliberately blurred Shen Qiran's real identity, and there was no Knowing that Marshal's wife has entered their platform, naturally they will not use the topic to make a big splash, and they may not even give him the best music recommendation.

But thinking of the other party's excellent performance in the recording class, Clarice was a little uneasy.

After that trip to the academy, Esther never summoned her in private again. Out of a woman's intuition, Clarice felt that this was a very bad sign.Even if there is only one chance in ten thousand, she can't let the marshal's wife shine in this celebration. After all, now is a critical period...

Clarice paced back and forth in the room, finally made up her mind, picked up the smartphone and dialed a number.

"It doesn't matter how much the person who helps me buy the recording and broadcasting cloud platform spends, I want them to help me keep an eye on a person..."

***

Moria College has officially started its winter vacation.

On the third day of the winter vacation, the charity celebration officially kicked off.

This year's interstellar war has just ended, and many planets on the interstellar border have suffered devastating blows. The donations raised in this celebration will be used for the relief of women and children in the disaster-stricken areas, as well as the care and placement of orphans of heroes.Not only the royal family vigorously promoted the event, but the military department also paid great attention to and supported the celebration. The official account of the military department has been updating relevant links related to the event.

As in the past, the major platforms jointly launched the "Celebration Zone", which fully promoted the event in the most eye-catching advertising space.Each platform also set up lists, including newcomer list, growth rate list, donation list, etc. You compete for the list rankings, and the atmosphere is lively and intense.

The Music Department of Moriah Academy and the Ambers Academy of Music are considered old rivals, and this event is naturally an excellent opportunity to compete. On the first day of the opening of the celebration, people constantly broadcast the "battle situation" between the two sides in real time on the academy forum.

"The tickets for the piano recital at the Ambers Conservatory of Music are pretty good! Fuck! The venue for 1000 people won't be full, right?"

"Master Owen's performance tickets are not bad! Our venue is even bigger! It can seat 500 people!"

"The number of people in this star network live broadcast room is too small! Brothers and sisters, go and help increase popularity!"

"Come on, come on! We just drew a tie with Ambers for the proceeds of charity! Hold on tight, everyone!!!"

The star network is very hot, and everyone communicates frequently in private.

"Qiran, how is your situation?" Ou Rui sent a message to ask.Ou Rui's performance is average, so he didn't participate in the performance. Instead, he chose to cooperate with the students of the Faculty of Arts to produce a music radio drama, which was downloaded on the platform for a fee. So far, the effect is not bad.

Shen Qiran used a pseudonym to participate in the event. Except for Ou Rui and a few teachers who filled out the form together, no one knew that he also participated in the celebration.After the event started, he realized that the recording and broadcasting cloud platform he chose did not update the data in real time. When other platforms were discussing the data in full swing, their platform was quiet and quiet. .

"The data on my side can only be seen at nine o'clock the next morning." Shen Qiran replied, "Let's look at it tomorrow."

"Ah, well..." Ou Rui was also quite speechless, but the prospect of recording songs is indeed not good, and it is normal that the facilities and management of the relevant platforms are lagging behind, "Then see tomorrow, I believe your grades will definitely not be bad of!"

The bustling day passed quickly. In the early hours of the morning, the relevant comment numbers became active, and various inventory and summaries sprung up like mushrooms. The rookies who performed well on the first day all entered the public eye.Owen Constantine, as a first-year freshman of the college, entered the top ten music newcomers without any suspense, overwhelming all the rookies of the Ampers Conservatory of Music.

However, although the students of the Ambers Conservatory of Music did not perform particularly well, the new dean of their school, Clarice, was well received. There are as many as one million people, and many people are reluctant to leave after entering her live broadcast room. In the words of a review blogger, "Her music has a magical power that penetrates into the soul. After listening to it once, it will continue to linger in the brain. It's addictive, like it's been brainwashed."

Shen Qiran just glanced at these news casually. Although the recorded song page he released was empty, his mood didn't fluctuate at all. After all, he was the one who survived the food tutorial "0 clicks and 0 follow"!The psychological quality is much stronger than before.

After nine o'clock in the morning of the next day, the data of the recording and broadcasting cloud platform was updated, and Shen Qiran clicked into his own page, and couldn't help being stunned.

159 clicks, 150 paid downloads, 22 comments.

After all, after studying for half a year, Shen Qiran has a good idea of ​​his level now. He knows that the traffic of the recording and broadcasting cloud platform is not as good as that of a big platform like Xingwang Live, but this data is too low.He looked through the other players who participated in the event at the same time, and his result was almost at the bottom of the echelon.

It's fine if the skills are not as good as others, but after listening to other people's recorded songs, Shen Qiran felt that he was no worse than them, and he really didn't understand the reason for this result.

"It's because the exposure is not enough." Ou Rui helped Shen Qiran analyze, "Your payment rate is very high. Almost everyone who has heard the demo has paid. When the exposure increases, you will definitely be able to hit it! The round usually does not exceed 24 hours, and it will definitely increase tomorrow!"

However, on the second day, after the background data was updated, the data of Shen Qiran's recorded songs still did not improve, and the increase was even worse than the previous day.

Ou Rui was stunned, he also listened to Shen Qiran's recorded song, it's no worse than the top few on the chart!Why is the data so cruel?

"Is there something wrong with their recommendation mechanism?" Ou Rui guessed, "Don't skip you...how about contacting customer service to ask?"

Shen Qiran also found it strange, so he sent an inquiry message to the customer service.

I sent a message in the morning, and I didn’t reply until the evening of the next day. The other party said that there was no problem with the recommendation mechanism after checking, and gave the time to push Shen Qiran’s works—2-3 am every day.

This time is undoubtedly a very bad frequency band, the platform traffic is not enough, and most people have turned off the lights to rest at this time, even if some people stay up all night, either they are overtime workers or they are chasing dramas and playing games, who will come to listen to poor quality recordings music?Of course the data will not come up.

"Is the push time for you only in the early morning hours?" Ou Rui was shocked when he found out, "This is obviously unreasonable! Other platforms push in turn, and everyone with a good recommendation can take a turn to ensure fairness. With a stupid push mechanism like the recording and broadcasting cloud platform, isn’t the data good or bad all depends on luck??”

Of course, Shen Qiran thought about what Ou Rui said. Although he didn't care much about the results this time, if he lost out of nowhere because of the metaphysics of luck, he would not be convinced.Make comments to the platform and want to change the recommendation mechanism?The event is only for ten days, and the day lily will be cold by the time there is a delay in giving an opinion on how to deal with it.

Music is a craft, a field that relies on works and strength to speak.The smell of wine is not afraid of deep alleys. Since the recommended time period cannot be changed, the only thing that can be changed is my own work...

Gradually having the idea of ​​breaking the game in his heart, Shen Qiran stretched his brows, picked up his notebook, and turned to go to the piano room on the first floor.

***

During dinner, Shen Qiran didn't show up.

He stayed alone in the piano room from afternoon to night. Aunt Mei urged him several times, but the other party didn't come out. In the end, Aunt Mei could only pack a small plate and planned to take it directly to the piano room.

But when she was about to leave, she was stopped by someone.

"Give it to me." After finishing his meal, Shao Xing wiped his hands with a wet towel, and stretched out his hand to Aunt Mei.

"I'll send it over."

The door of the piano room was ajar. When Shao Xing came to the door, he heard some fragmentary piano sounds coming from inside, as well as the sound of a pen writing on paper.

He gently pushed the door open, and the people in the room were so busy that they didn't notice anyone coming in.Some torn pages of paper were scattered on the ground. Shao Xing hooked his fingers, and a piece of paper rose without wind and fell into his hands.On the page is a stave, on which some syllables are intermittently recorded, but most of them have been crossed out, it can be seen that the owner is repeatedly trying and revising.This is... creating a new song?

Shao Xing doesn't know much about music, but he knows that thinking is very important when creating, and he can't be easily disturbed.He silently retreated to the corner, quietly looking at the person sitting by the piano.The man sometimes thought hard, and sometimes he wrote vigorously. His eyes were burning with passion and love. His eyes were as bright as a little sun, full of vitality and vitality.

——It was a side I had never seen before.

As time passed by, the young man suddenly pressed the piano with one hand, and what flowed from his fingertips this time was no longer intermittent broken sounds, but a series of smooth and complete rhythms, which was very pleasant to listen to.Before Shao Xing could taste it carefully, the playing was over, Shen Qiran immersed himself in the notebook and wrote again, then he clenched his fist excitedly and let out a small cheer from his mouth.

"yeah!"

You're done, relieved.He jumped up from the chair with excitement on his face, and then met Shao Xing who was sitting in the corner.

Shen Qiran: "..."

They looked at each other silently for half a minute before Shen Qiran stammered.

"Shao, Brother Shao, why are you here?"

"I've been here for a long time." Shao Xing glanced at the clock on the wall, "I came here an hour ago."

Shen Qiran: "..."

Shao Xing pointed to the dinner plate on the round table by the wall: "It's time for you to eat." There is a constant temperature device under the tray to ensure that the dishes will not get cold, and it is just right to eat now.

"Thank you, thank you." Shen Qiran thanked her while muttering in her heart: Aren't Aunt Mei always come to deliver food in the past?How could it be Shao Xinglai today?

... Well, maybe Aunt Mei has something to do and can't leave.

He sat down at the round table, picked up the cutlery and started to eat. He thought that Shao Xing would leave soon, but he didn't expect that the other party had no intention of leaving at all, so he just watched silently from the side, which made Shen Qi feel like a light on his back, feeling the pain in his mouth The food is a bit tasteless.

"Is it not to your taste?" Seeing Shen Qiran's hesitation in dropping his chopsticks, Shao Xing asked aloud.

"No, no, it's delicious." Shen Qiran said with a smile, "Uh... Brother Shao, are you busy with work recently?"

Shen Qiran was euphemistically reminding Shao Xing that if he had something to do, he could go and get busy first, but from what Shao Xing heard, this was the first time that the other party had asked him about something on his own initiative.

"It's okay." He said, his eyes softened unconsciously, "Is the song you just prepared for the celebration?"

"Ah."

"But the event has started for several days, right?" Shao Xing asked.The celebration is only for ten days, and now it is the fourth day, and very few people submit their works at this time.

"I submitted a recording song before, but the response was not very good, so I planned to change it temporarily."

The recorded song he submitted before was a battle song with a magnificent momentum and passionate style. He personally liked it very much, so he adapted it into a recorded song.But if the recommended frequency band is in the early morning, this kind of song is very unsuitable-who would listen to a war song that makes people excited in the dead of night!So he decided to change to a soothing and quiet serenade, which is more suitable for listening to before going to bed.

However, the risk of temporarily changing the song is very high, and the previous income cannot be accumulated, which is equivalent to returning to the starting point during the marathon. It is very uneconomical for newcomers who want to climb the rankings, but Shen Qiran participated anonymously. I don't have such concerns at all, so I just changed it.

Shao Xing knew the rules of the event, so he couldn't help frowning.

"Changing the song now is equivalent to starting from the beginning, is there time?"

"It's a bit late, but how will you know the result if you don't try?" Shen Qiran smiled, "At least try your best, it's better than regretting it afterwards."

He smiled calmly, but Shao Xing couldn't help thinking of the other party's enthusiasm and focus on creation.I don't know where it came from. He felt that this must be a great song. It would be a pity if it could not be heard by more people...

"Do you need me to promote it for you?"

After asking this sentence, both Shao Xing and Shen Qiran were stunned.Shao Xing hated Shen Qiran's behavior of using his name and identity to seek benefits in his previous life. When he was reborn, he swore that he would never let the other party succeed in the slightest. Unexpectedly, he not only broke his vow, but even The first to speak was himself.

Shen Qiran's thoughts are similar to Shao Xing's, he really didn't expect Shao Xing to say this, but——

"Thank you," Shen Qiran shook her head, "but no need."

This time Shao Xing was really stunned.

"why?"

"Maybe you can help me once, but what about in the future? I can't always rely on other people's help." Shen Qiran said, "Besides, my identity is not suitable for you to come forward. I don't want to hear someone say that I did it because... ..."

He cut off the conversation suddenly, because what he said later would be a bit rude, but Shao Xing still heard the meaning behind his words.

——I don't want to hear someone say that I got the grade because of my status as "Marshal's wife".

The heart lake that was already rippling suddenly stirred up even bigger waves. Shao Xing couldn't help thinking that when he first joined the army, he insisted on serving in the remote interstellar border because he didn't want to rely on his father's influence in the military.

——I don't want to hear someone say that I got the grade because of my status as the "son of the lieutenant general".

Everyone said that he was born in a military family, and he had been influenced by him since he was a child, and his father was in the military to protect him.It wasn't until he went to the frontier of the desolate star, regardless of his background, that he truly felt a sliver of freedom and relief. There, everyone's starting point was the same. He started as an unknown recruit and relied on his own ability to stand up again and again After making military exploits, he was not transferred back to the capital until he climbed to the position of major general. But this time, no one dared to say that he got the honor by relying on his family background.

...how similar.

Shao Xing couldn't help but look at Shen Qiran, the other party didn't regret at all because he refused his help, he was always calm and calm.In his previous life, this person firmly grasped the title of "Marshal's wife" and crazily sought benefits for himself, but who would have thought that in this life, the identity of "Marshal's wife" would actually become his burden.

A complex feeling spread from the bottom of my heart, it seemed to be emotion, relief, and... there was also some strange loss and sourness.

"When your new song is finished, can you send me a copy?"

Seeing the surprised gaze cast by the other party, Shao Xing smiled slightly.

"Am I honored to be your first listener?"

The author has something to say: After reading the comments in the last chapter, maybe my generalization ability is too impatient. Many friends don’t understand the music form of this world. The two friends stopcalling and rabbit in the comment area explain it quite well. It’s in place, you can regard the music in this world as “brainwashing”, that is, to put the concept of “My music is the best and the best, I’m moved and I’m crying!!” into the ears of the audience , directly in place in one step, naturally don't pay much attention to the process (rhythm), anyway, the final effect can be achieved, and the audience is passively accepted;

Ranran's music is our kind of music. The listeners take the initiative to appreciate it, and spontaneously feel "wow, this song is so good".

As for why the live effect in the story is good, it can be understood that the performer is a brain wave transmitter, of course, the effect is best at close range, and the signal is too weak when the recorded song is far away, and the effect is definitely poor. ~

If there is anything unclear, please feel free to leave a message!thanks for your support!

Finally, I would like to thank the three little angels, Lizi Jiang, Beep Kaka Kaka Sauce, and One Press Refill, for their thunderous throwing!mwah!
