After a breakup, a song heals the world

Chapter 259 A strong opponent! Zhuo Yanrong's gold medal composer!

At the same time, the host on the stage also realized something, turned to look at Mr. Li, and asked, "Mr. Li, is this your... story? Or, in other words, the proposition for our contestants?"

Mr. Li recovered his composure and looked at the host with a smile, "Yes, I should have made my words very clear. According to the process of your program, shouldn't you ask these contestants to start creating on the spot next?

To be honest, I am also looking forward to seeing the creations of these contestants on site.”

The host smiled politely and continued, "Of course, I am also looking forward to it. At the same time, I think the audience both on site and in the live broadcast room are also looking forward to it. But before that, I still want to ask Teacher Li a few questions."

Mr. Li was stunned. "There are still... questions?"

The host nodded, "Yes, this is also for the fairness of our show."

After that, he didn't wait for Mr. Li to say anything, and continued, "Mr. Li, I want to confirm with you one last thing. You never told any of our contestants about the topic of this round of the show in advance, right?"

After hearing the host's question, Mr. Li realized what the other party wanted to prove.

After understanding this, Mr. Li's expression turned serious.

After thinking for a moment, Mr. Li looked at the camera in the distance and answered seriously, "Yes, before the program started, I never revealed this so-called proposition to anyone.

To be more precise, I didn’t know I would be the first person to ask the question before this.”

After saying that, Mr. Li nodded to the notary in the distance, and then at the host's signal, he walked off the stage and sat back in his original seat.

There was silence in the audience at first, and then they started a low-pitched discussion.

Cheng Xiaoer, who was sitting next to Mr. Li, was looking at this music master who enjoyed a great reputation in the music world, with a flood of thoughts in her mind.

After telling the story, the old man's face was filled with a feeling that is difficult to describe in words.

Tenderness, sadness, nostalgia, longing...

Cheng Xiaoer couldn’t tell which one it was, or maybe all of them. She just felt that the proposition the old man mentioned was actually a very romantic one, and it was also a feeling that she longed for in her heart.

But then again, the more emotionally complex the story is, the greater the test it will be for the contestants on stage.

Cheng Xiaoer naturally wouldn't care too much about other contestants, but Su Yan...

Thinking of this, Cheng Xiaoer's eyes were fixed on Su Yan's face on the stage.

Unlike the other contestants who were thinking hard and seriously, Su Yan looked much more relaxed. However, in the opinion of Cheng Xiaoer, who is also a musician, the ease on his face does not mean that the question is also easy.

“Let us thank Teacher Li for bringing this proposition to our contestants.

Of course, what makes me feel even more emotional is the 'old times' mentioned by Mr. Li!

Well... according to the process of our competition, let us now hand over the stage to our six contestants. Please invite the six contestants to enter their respective rooms and create music.

You will have one hour to create music and half an hour to communicate with the stage and orchestra teachers!

Good luck to you!!!"

In the studio, the host's sudden voice interrupted Cheng Xiaoer's thoughts. At the same time, Cheng Xiaoer also realized that tonight's competition... officially began!

This will also mean that this variety show, which has attracted so much attention recently, will officially usher in its competition method and present the true creative abilities of the contestants to everyone!

As if to verify Cheng Xiaoer's guess, on the stage, following the host's guidance, the large LED screen at the back was divided into six parts, turning into six almost completely identical pictures.

These five small screens appear to be surveillance cameras of a room.

In this room, the most eye-catching thing is probably the desk. In addition to a computer, there are various professional-looking equipment on the desk.

Most viewers may feel unfamiliar with these devices, but for people like Cheng Xiaoer who are more familiar with music, these things seem extremely common.

That’s right, some of the devices next to the computer are devices used for music creation, including but not limited to mixing consoles, headphones, etc.

In addition, there are some more normal office supplies such as paper and pens, and even a telephone next to the desk.

At the same time, the host spoke again, looked at the screen, and began his explanation.

“In the next hour and a half, our six contestants will complete the creation of a song in this completely closed room.

Of course, I believe our teacher Li has just explained the theme of the song very clearly.

In order to ensure the absolute fairness of our program, not only are contestants not allowed to bring any communication devices, but our computers are also notarized by our notaries to ensure that there is no other information in the computers except for some commonly used music production software.

At the same time, I would also like to remind our contestants that during this one and a half hour, you must not only complete the creation of the song, but also communicate with our stage designers and band teachers, so as to present your best work to our audience in a more complete manner.

Of course...you can also choose to accompany yourself and present your performance in the most original way.

The final votes will be determined by a vote of one thousand public judges randomly selected by our program team in the presence of notary staff.

If there are no other questions, the six contestants can go to the room specially prepared for you and officially start your creation. "

Su Yan nodded subconsciously. He had no doubts about what the host said.

But soon, the girl with long hair and a quiet look spoke up, "Host, I still want to confirm, is it true that the entire song, including the lyrics, composition, and arrangement, was completed by us?"

Su Yan had some impression of this girl. Her name was Chen Shirui. The biggest reason why Su Yan remembered her name was because she was the gold medal music producer of Zhuo Yanrong's company.

"Of course, since we are not sure how much help your assistants will give you, it is better for the teachers to do everything by theirselves. I think this is the fairest way." The host gave his own explanation with a smile.

Su Yan understood that this was a relatively euphemistic statement made by the host.

To put it bluntly, what the program team is worried about is that the so-called assistants invited by the contestants are likely to take over the main role and complete the most core and main creations on behalf of the contestants.

It seems that the production team is quite strict about fairness. It can't even be described as strict, but... strict!

However, the more fair and strict the rules are, the more they can verify whether Su Yan's previous works were created by himself or written by someone else as claimed on the Internet...

Of course, it’s not just Su Yan himself, there are other contestants, such as... Jiang Zipeng.

Don’t be fooled by the fact that Su Yan’s expression didn’t show much fluctuation. In fact, he had been quietly observing the reaction of Jiang Zipeng, his biggest rival.

The expression on Jiang Zipeng's face was more or less beyond Su Yan's expectations. Although he did not have the confidence that he had an absolute chance of winning, Jiang Zipeng's face did not appear panicked except for being nervous.

Jiang Zipeng naturally does not have any so-called system like Su Yan. Of course, Su Yan would not believe that Jiang Zipeng has any extraordinary ability in music.

Therefore, the final result can only be known after the first round of contestants including Su Yan complete their creations.

Therefore, for Su Yan, the most important thing at the moment is to find a song in his own system that can not only perfectly fit the proposition just put forward by Mr. Li, but more importantly, impress the audience while completely shutting up those who first questioned Su Yan.

After a moment of silence, it was apparent that no other contestant questioned the rules of this variety show.

So, after a simple draw of lots, the six people came to their own temporary "studio" to create songs.

Su Yan drew room number five, which meant that after the contestants finished their work together, Su Yan would be the second to last to perform.

Su Yan took a quick look at the layout of the room.

The room was decorated very simply, similar to what we saw on the screen before. And for an hour and a half, the contestants didn’t actually need any more requirements.

Computer, pen and paper, printer, landline phone, a small screen showing a timer...

It is worth mentioning that there are quite a lot of cameras. Su Yan also understands that this is probably to record some details of the contestants' creation from multiple angles.

Afterwards, Su Yan familiarized himself with some music production software on the computer. After all, it was not his first time to compose a song, so these software were easy for Su Yan to use.

Just at this moment, the host's voice came again from a small speaker in the corner of the room.

"Dear contestants, if you have no other questions, please raise your hands to signal to me that you are ready."

Su Yan raised his hand without thinking. Because he could not see the situation of other contestants in this closed small room, Su Yan was not quite sure how others would react.

But soon, the sound coming from the speakers no longer allowed Su Yan to have wild thoughts.

"Now that all the contestants are ready, then... please complete your own music creation!

Theme – The old times.

If you need to complete it in advance or need to communicate with the stage designer and band teacher, please pick up the landline.

Remember, you have a total of one and a half hours, please plan it wisely!

The countdown begins!!!"

As the sound of the speaker fell, the countdown on the screen placed next to the desk began.

1:29:39.

This means that contestants, including Su Yan, still have one hour and twenty-nine minutes to create their own works.

At this time, Su Yan also put aside the distracting thoughts in his mind and closed his eyes slightly.

However, unlike other contestants who were thinking seriously, Su Yan entered the system immediately and, according to the original plan, began to look for a song that would perfectly fit the topic mentioned by Mr. Li.

The atmosphere was similar to that in the room where the contestants were. At the moment the countdown began, both the four guests in the audience and the audience seemed to sense a hint of tension.

There is still more than an hour before the contestants' actual performances. During this hour, everyone will certainly not be left waiting in boredom.

At this time, the host needs to use some topics to keep the audience entertained for more than an hour.

The host glanced at the big screen behind him and said with a smile, "The countdown has already begun, and it looks like the one and a half hour time is quite tight.

Except for Chen Shirui who has already started creating, the other contestants seem to be thinking.

I would like to ask Mr. Li, as a music veteran, what do you think of the contestants' current performances? "

Just as the host said, at the moment the countdown began, the six contestants either closed their eyes or lowered their heads, and everyone seemed to be thinking.

But only Chen Shirui quickly turned on the computer and started creating.

When he heard the host call his name, Mr. Li first looked at Zhuo Yanrong meaningfully.

Many people can understand Mr. Li's look. After all, Chen Shirui is the chief music producer of Zhuo Yanrong's team, and many of Zhuo Yanrong's popular songs are actually produced by Chen Shirui.

Sure enough, Mr. Li’s words did not avoid Zhuo Yanrong.

"I have done some research on these contestants. Chen Shirui is probably the one with the strongest professional ability.

Maybe it's because she has been composing music behind the scenes, which allows her to focus more on doing one thing.

In fact, the most terrifying thing about Chen Shirui is her creative speed. To be honest, she has many excellent works. Of course, there are also many commercial works, but the quality of the works themselves is average.

Her boss, Mr. Zhuo Yanrong, should understand this better than I do.

So... I think the reason why Chen Shirui was able to start creating so quickly should be attributed to her previous creative reserves.

To put it more bluntly, because of work needs, she actually has many drafts of songs in her mind that she has not started to compose.

Just like a novelist, he may have written many novels, but he also has many ideas in his mind that he has not started to develop into complete novels.

Maybe my topic happened to be similar to an idea she had before, so she was able to start creating so quickly..."

After saying that, Mr. Li nodded to indicate that he had finished his speech.

Cheng Xiaoer, who was sitting next to Mr. Li, admired his straightforwardness.

As people in the circle, they certainly have some understanding of Chen Shirui and Cheng Xiaoer.

What Mr. Li said was not wrong. Of course, what Mr. Li said about some of Chen Shirui's works being more commercial was actually a more tactful way of putting it.

To put it more bluntly, Chen Shirui actually has a lot of low-level music creations. They don't take the musical level into consideration, but are more commercial in nature, a bit like the so-called Internet divine songs.

But we have to admit that as the only one among the six contestants who only focuses on behind-the-scenes music creation, Chen Shirui's experience and material reserves are definitely the best!

"Mr. Li just mentioned that contestant Chen Shirui is the chief music producer of our teacher Zhuo Yanrong's work. So, Mr. Zhuo Yanrong, what do you think?"

The host spoke again and actually directly pointed out the relationship between Zhuo Yanrong and Chen Shirui.

This question made Zhuo Yanrong frown slightly, and also made the audience in the live broadcast room say that this variety show... is too real...
