Chapter 9 Artists Have Some Little Hobbies(1/2)
"They say quitting your madness is like wiping off dirt
They say you have to go up the stairs at the cost of lowering your head
Then let me not ride the wind
You are equally proud of that kind of loneliness
Who says those who play ordinary chess games are not heroes..."
Zhang Jian listened to this song in a daze, then picked up the noodles with a fork and put them in his mouth. While eating, he mumbled: "This song is pretty good! I've never heard it before."
Colleagues nodded in approval.
Both of them are seriously enjoying the song that they don't even know the title of now.
Until the whole song is sung.
"Go? Go! With the humblest dream
Fight? Fight! With the most arrogant dream
To the whimpering and roaring in the dark night
Who said that only those who stand in the light are heroes..."
Perhaps the taste of the instant noodles was a bit strong, and Zhang Jian felt the spicy taste in his eyes, so he wiped the corners of his eyes.
Without warning, my colleagues suddenly applauded to themselves: "Who said that only those who stand in the light are heroes!"
"This song is great! It's well written! It's also sung well! It's very good!"
After saying this, he turned to look at Zhang Jian, whose eyes were a little red. He was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "Old Zhang, do you think we can be considered heroes?"
Zhang Jian listened happily and finished the last bite of noodles: "The two of us?"
"Let's call it a bear!"
The colleague laughed and subconsciously lit a cigarette: "But... this song has a lonely and courageous flavor, unknown to the public, and silently giving..."
"It does look a lot like us, don't you think? Why do we work so hard overtime every day? Aren't we just working alone and bravely for the masses? Why are we not heroes? We are heroes, but we are just unknown heroes!"<
/p>
"Indeed." Zhang Jian nodded and opened the car door to throw away the instant noodle box: "It's a pity that we don't even know the title of such a song..."
"Let's go back and ask the people in the office! Such a beautiful song must not be sung by an unknown person. It must be the work of a big star. It's just that we haven't heard it before!" As soon as the colleague finished saying this, the car intercom started.
I remembered the voice: "There is a new police situation! Please call Comrade Zhang Jian near Linjiang Road and..."
The car door has been opened, and Zhang Jian, who even took a step forward, closed the car door reflexively and put the instant noodle box under his feet.
The colleague on the side has already put the car into gear and started the car.
The police lights flashed and gradually faded away, disappearing at the main entrance of this residential area and disappearing into the dark night.
It's as if it had never appeared before.
But the melody and lyrics of the song "Lonely Warrior" have been firmly engraved in the hearts of the two grassroots police officers.
It's not just them.
At this time, the audience who watched and listened to the "Strong Singers" program in various ways were all moved and impressed by the songs.
When Xiao Ning sang the last line of lyrics on the stage and the continuous sound of the cello appeared, all kinds of discussions were completely overwhelming, whether in reality or on the Internet.
"Holy shit! This song is so awesome!"
"I swear! This is the best song I've heard this year! No one!"
"The melody is ear-catching! The lyrics are heart-piercing! Who the hell is this Xiao Ning! Why haven't I heard of such an amazing original singer before?"
"Xiao Ning must be popular! I'm telling you! He can create a song like "The Lonely Warrior"! Why isn't he popular?"
"Brothers! I didn't watch the show just now! Can anyone provide a video link?"
"Brother, I knelt down to listen to the whole song! I just want to say! This song is enough to make Xiao Ning become a god!"
"I understand the truth! But why did Mr. Xiao Ning bring out such a cool song in the 50-to-30 competition? Does he have something more ruthless?"
"..."
When people rush to express their feelings.
Jiangcheng TV station, "Strong Singer" program live.
After the final accompaniment ended abruptly, the audience burst into deafening applause.
Xiao Ning, who heard so much applause for herself for the first time since her debut, did not have stage fright.
He took a deep breath and raised the microphone again.
"Thank you everyone."
Seeing the applause from the audience getting louder and louder, the field control staff at the side of the stage quickly gestured in the direction of the audience.
After finally getting everyone's voices down, the show entered the most important phase of elimination.
The four judges unanimously pressed the pass button in front of them. While one judge congratulated Xiao Ning for his unanimous advancement, he also asked a question.
"Xiao Ning, could you please tell me where the inspiration for your song came from?"
Creative inspiration?
I can’t come!
Although Xiao Ning really wanted to do what she told Liu Weiwei before, saying that it was her dream.
But after all, this is a show. Not only the judges and the audience are watching, but the people in front of the TV are also watching...
He was silent for a few seconds, and then slowly replied: "I don't know how to answer the judge's question, because inspiration is too broad, but..."
The scene was very quiet, everyone was waiting for Xiao Ning's next words.
"As for the purpose of this song, I think it should be very clear, that is, to make the melody and lyrics hit as many people as possible."
"In life, the majority are the lonely and brave people who work silently and struggle alone."
"I think that's how it should be, that's why this song was created."
When the judges took the lead in applauding, the audience burst into thunderous applause again, and then Xiao Ning left the stage under the guidance of the staff.
At the same time.
Hummingbird Entertainment, Music Division.
Because several of the company's artists have to participate in the program "Strong Singers" today, some employees are still working overtime in the company.
After all, it was only the fifty-to-thirty stage. Except for Xiao Ning, there was no suspense for several other artists in the company to advance. So in fact, no one took this matter to heart at all in the beginning, and they were all working overtime just for fun.
Salary.
But when Xiao Ning came on stage, everyone was stunned.
After he finished singing a song, the office area that had just been dead silent had become as noisy as a vegetable market.

"If this song is played in the finals, I'm afraid it will win the first place without any dispute, right?"
"Damn it! This kid Xiao Ning is amazing! How could he hide such a skill?"
"I've known him for a year, but I really didn't know he had such ability! Did he really write this song?"
"If he didn't write it, who would have written it? The company didn't give Xiao Ning much resources! A song of this quality! It can only be written by him!"
"It feels like...our music division may have to spend another money?"
"If! I mean if! If Xiao Ning has another song similar to this song, even if it's a little worse! Wait until the next competition to take it out, don't say another money! I'll tell you
!After two more rounds of competition, his fame will probably surpass Qian Zhen’s!"
The office area outside was noisy, and in an independent office inside, a middle-aged man was shaking his brows with a look of disbelief.
Sun Ye is the director of Hummingbird Entertainment Music Division.
Regarding the company's unilateral termination of the contract with Xiao Ning, he brought it up at a meeting some time ago.
Today, because Xiao Ning was videotaped pulling on the exterior wall, he immediately called Liu Weiwei.
The leader who Liu Weiwei had previously clamored to terminate her contract with Xiao Ning was none other than Sun Ye.
Liu Weiwei helped plead for mercy, so although the contract was not terminated in the end, Sun Ye had actually already thought about the approximate time for this matter to be implemented.
In his own words, there are a lot of singers who can sing. These days, the ones who write lyrics and music are the ones who are good at it, and original musicians are in short supply.
An artist like Xiao Ning who has no originality and has been lukewarm since his debut will definitely not be able to stay in Hummingbird Entertainment for too long.
One day early and one day late, we have to leave anyway.
However, he never expected that on the stage of "Strong Singer" tonight, Xiao Ning would give such an amazing performance that stunned him.
"This kid Xiao Ning!"
"You actually hid it for so long?"
