Chapter 1374: New variables in the school song competition
In November, the weather has started to get colder.
This year's winter seems to have come earlier and more violently than usual.
However, the campus of Dongwon University is always bustling and full of vitality.
A boy wearing short-sleeved shorts and jogging in the morning, a girl memorizing words next to a small bamboo forest, and a senior student rushing to the laboratory with a bun in her mouth.
And, a young girl practicing her voice next to a grove.
Young musicians carrying various instruments on their backs, practicing and preparing as if no one else was around.
For those who didn’t know, I thought I went to some kind of art school.
When they meet, some of them will greet each other: "Hey, you're here for an interview too!"
"Yes, I'm here too."
"Which team are you recruiting for?"
"Why don't you join the Heavenly Team?"
"Is Team Shangtian also looking for musicians? I think they should have enough musicians on their own."
"And you?"
"I'm from Team White Mosquito."
"Oh, that's awesome. Do you want to go on stage with Xiaobai?"
"No, no, we can't suppress Xiaobai's competition, and we are not qualified to participate. My contestant is Liu Caiqi. Do you recognize that girl?"
"Who is Liu Cai's seventh sister's musician? Oh, what a coincidence!"
"Are you also here to participate in the recruitment of Liu Cai Seven Sisters?"
"No, I am Lu Ke."
"What instrument do you play? I play guitar."
"Oh, I'm Harmony."
"Nice to meet you. Do you think Sister Qiqi really has that much interest in Lu Ke?"
"Oh, I think it's a bit interesting, but why don't these two people get together..."
Here, gossip started immediately.
Dongwon University's school song competition has completed the group stage and the first game after the group, and the competition has become increasingly fierce.
As competition becomes more intense, contestants invest more and more energy and funds.
The arms race has also escalated again.
During this time, more and more contestants are no longer satisfied with using the musicians and bands provided by the school song competition, and many have begun to form and recruit their own teams.
The reason is very simple. On the one hand, school started late this year, so academic work is extremely heavy. Many students no longer want to share musicians and bands with others, so they have to work hard on communication and rehearsal time. While participating in the school song competition, they also hope to be able to
Have more time to spend on studies.
After all, studies are the main job.
On the other hand, the investment in the school song competition from all parties has increased again.
Whether it was the entertainment company behind several contestants, the wealthy Fu Wenyao of the "Peerless Macho Man Team", or the investment of Gu Xiaobai of the White Mosquito Team, they all invariably raised the budget to a higher level.
Another reason for this "arms race" is that preparations for this year's Spring Festival Gala have begun, and the director team has already released news that several programs from the school song competition will be selected for the Spring Festival Gala to reflect the spiritual outlook of contemporary teenagers.
It's "several", not "one".
Of course, Gu Xiaobai and Fu Wenyao had already attended the Spring Festival Gala last year.
But this year it seems that Gu Xiaobai and Fu Wenyao are not very interested in attending the Spring Festival Gala. Even if they were to attend the Spring Festival Gala, their quotas are probably not on this list.
In previous years' Spring Festival Gala, whatever program was popular would be popular. A song sung during the Spring Festival Gala could be popular for a whole year or even ten or twenty years.
For example, "Go back to your parents' home", "Go home often", "Three Auspicious Treasures", etc.
In today's Spring Festival Gala, whoever is popular will be invited to appear on the show. If a song is sung during the Spring Festival Gala, it will not become popular until the end of the Spring Festival Gala. It is completely a one-time customized song.
The directing team of the Spring Festival Gala is increasingly confused about who is watching the Spring Festival Gala and who is watching the Spring Festival Gala.
Most of the people who still watch the Spring Festival Gala are middle-aged and elderly people, but they insist on showing them the little fresh meat and traffic fans who all look the same in the past, just to attract these traffic fans. The middle-aged and elderly people have lost their voice and young people have taken over.
Gain some popularity on the commanding heights of the Internet.
But even so, the Spring Festival Gala is still the most exposed stage in China.
For Gu Xiaobai and Fu Wenyao, once the Spring Festival Gala is over, it's no longer interesting and they don't want to go on it.
But they don't want to go, and there may be various forces that force them to go.
After all, they don’t need the Spring Festival Gala, but the Spring Festival Gala needs them.
But for other ordinary school song contest contestants...
That was the Spring Festival Gala!
Even if you are an 80-year-old man in your family, if you say: "My grandson/granddaughter has attended the Spring Festival Gala..."
His reputation in his hometown also immediately increased, and he would be looked down upon by his old sisters and brothers wherever he went.
Wu Quandong also paid special attention to this matter. With a stroke of his pen, he approved a large amount of money and a more relaxed application for venue use. He wished that each contestant would be given a dedicated rehearsal room.
It also provides a lot of convenience for this large-scale recruitment of musicians.
For example, on the official website of Dongwon University, a special musician recruitment section has been opened to conduct preliminary screening of musicians who apply...
After all, most of the singers in the school song competition became monks halfway.
With the help of a copy of Gu Xiaobai's teaching notes, he carved a bloody path.
But they don’t have a very intuitive understanding of instrumental music and various performance levels, and they don’t have the ability to judge.
If you let them recruit by themselves, they will easily be deceived.
Moreover, they themselves do not have time to screen applicants one by one.
We might as well let the school do all this for us, establishing a "public musician pool" and becoming a loose intermediary agency.
Some of those responsible for the review are teachers from Dongwon University, some are well-known musicians, and...
"Who is that?"
"I haven't seen it before."
"It's not on your list. Why am I sitting in the main seat?"
"I don't know him either..."
"Go and drive him away."
"No, I won't go, you go!"
When several musician teachers in charge of the review came to one of the preliminary screening venues, they saw a man in his thirties sitting in the center with a straight face.
Several of them looked at each other, but for some reason, they all felt that they did not dare to look at that person.
I wanted to drive him away, but you pushed me and I pushed you, and no one dared to step forward.
"This man looks more vicious than our commander!"
"You are so young, you are not a well-known conductor..."
"But it feels so terrible..."
"It always feels so scary!"
They didn't know that this was Li Longji's "deterrence" at work.
As the conductor of the Gu Xiaobai Liyuan Orchestra, any musician would not dare to make a mistake in front of him. He is completely their nemesis.
There was really no choice but to ask the staff nearby for help.
"Oh, that guy... I don't know him either, but I saw him next to Xiao Bai yesterday. He seems to be Xiao Bai's new conductor."
Xiaobai’s new conductor?
Chapter completed!
