The man of scumbag Gulnazar

When you are old and your hair is white

drowsy

When you get old and can't walk anymore

Dozing by the fireplace, reminiscing about youth

How many loved your moments of youth and joy

Admiring your beauty, whether feigned or genuine.

Only one person still loves your devout soul.

I love the wrinkles on your aging face.

When you get old, your eyebrows droop.

The lights were dim and flickering.

The wind blows your message

This is the song in my heart.

The melodious singing, like a gentle stream, slowly flowed into everyone's hearts, weaving together love and longing. The moment Qin Tian opened his mouth, the audience's emotions were like a rollercoaster, instantly shifting from exhilarating joy to deep nostalgia. Interestingly, Qin Tian had a "little secret": worried that the lyrics of his new song might be too subtle for the audience to grasp, he displayed the lyrics on the stage backdrop. This was practically a "reading comprehension" feast prepared for the audience, allowing them to immerse themselves in the song while reading the lyrics, unable to tear themselves away.

When Qin Tian sang the song again, some people in the audience had tears in their eyes, and even Na Ying's eyes were red. Qin Tian thought to himself, "Could my singing be a fake 'The Voice'? It feels like I'm participating in a singing competition, while Na Ying seems to be on the wrong set, more suited to be an actress." This crying scene is too convincing!

After the performance, the result was predictable. Qin Tian took the opportunity to share his creative inspiration and subtly boasted about his extensive reading. Frankly, the depth of this song is beyond what someone Qin Tian's age could write. Of course, some suspected ghostwriting, but looking at Kun Ge's "The Answer," Na Ying's "Silence," and Qin Tian's unassuming family background, charisma is something that can't be faked. Besides, hiring a ghostwriter requires money!

Ultimately, the four mentors believed in Qin Tian's creative talent. After all, who would be willing to give away such a high-quality work? They would have published it themselves or sold it for a fortune long ago. Moreover, during the arrangement discussion, Qin Tian always managed to offer insightful and incisive opinions, impressing the mentors, especially mentor Liu Zhuo, who felt that Qin Tian was a rare genius.

......

After reaching the top four in that season's competition, the pace quickened. Because there were other mentors competing in their top four rounds, there was a waiting period of about two weeks before the team finals. This time, Liang Bo will represent Na Jie's team in the finals.

For Qin Tian, ​​winning the championship this year wasn't a sure thing. He had neither a powerful background nor substantial financial resources, but he wasn't flustered. After all, he had accumulated ten years of experience from his previous life, with over a hundred compositions. Even if he didn't win the championship, he could still make a name for himself through his own talent. After all, now wasn't the time when his popularity was at its peak.

As for when he would be eliminated and when he would release "Sorrow," Qin Tian already had a plan in mind, aiming to maximize his influence. After the second round of the competition, the assistant that Canxing had arranged for Qin Tian finally arrived. She was a sweet and adorable girl from Sichuan named Li Yu. However, to be honest, Qin Tian didn't need an assistant right now, and Li Yu didn't have much to do. Canxing did this simply to show how much they valued Qin Tian. Right now, Qin Tian's main task was preparing his song selection for the competition; all other activities were temporarily put on hold.

However, a small hiccup occurred. Sun Qian, the manager arranged by Canxing, had already submitted "Ode to Young China" to the Spring Festival Gala production team. Although the Gala had only just begun preparations, the team had already tentatively agreed to include the song in the preliminary selection. This news filled Qin Tian with both surprise and anticipation.

Meanwhile, I arranged for Sun Qian to contact the Happy Twist team. Their play "Goodbye Mr. Loser" had just premiered this year and received a very positive market response. Keep in mind, back then Happy Twist was just a fledgling small company.

Happy Twist, a team founded in 2003, has been dedicated to the creation, arrangement, and performance of stage plays, musicals, and children's plays, making them a rising star in the arts. It wasn't until the Spring Festival Gala program "I Want Happiness" aired that they truly entered the public eye.

Speaking of soaring to new heights, it all started in 2014 when Mahua FunAge decided to adapt the stage play "Goodbye Mr. Loser" into a movie. The movie became a box office hit, and the company's market value soared to over a billion yuan.

Many people may not be familiar with the current state of Happy Twist's development, but Sun Qian personally investigated it. She discovered that the company possessed a considerable amount of original copyrights, making them practically "little millionaires" in the copyright world. Back then, Happy Twist hadn't even considered venturing into the film industry; it was truly "unthinkable." However, Sun Qian ultimately secured the adaptation rights to the film for a remarkably low price of 30 yuan, on the condition that actors be selected primarily from Happy Twist. This money was paid out of Qin Tian's own pocket; he earned it by selling four songs to the four mentors.

Oh, by the way, after the second round of the competition, Qin Tian also won Huan Ge's song "Slowly in the Past". Huan Ge was very satisfied with this, and the mentors were also willing to help Qin Tian go further, deciding to announce the name of the lyricist and composer Qin Tian after the competition, and that the song would also be included in the next album.

Let’s not mention these for now.

Speaking of copyright fees, they weren't this expensive back then. So when did they start to go up? Well, it was in the latter half of 2012 when the phenomenally terrible film *Tiny Times* burst onto the scene, raking in over 4 million yuan at the box office. That's when novel copyright fees skyrocketed. These days, if you're writing a Chinese entertainment novel and don't criticize Guo Jingming or *Tiny Times*, it's practically a political mistake.

Getting off-topic, let's get back to the song selection for "The Voice of China." Each mentor's team has to choose one person to represent them in the competition, and they need to prepare two or three songs. Choosing songs is really a problem now, especially for Qin Tian, ​​an original singer-songwriter. If he suddenly stops singing original songs, his image will collapse! I'm a talented singer-songwriter, I can't afford to make a fool of myself!

Qin Tian flipped through his notebook and finally selected three songs: "The Lone Warrior," "Sunset Avenue," and "Rings of Time." Heh heh, using magic to defeat magic, using "Sunset Avenue" to fight Liang Bo, how about that? Hahahaha.

After selecting the songs, Qin Tian quickly contacted a recording studio to record the three songs. In the blink of an eye, everything was ready, and he was just waiting for the program's notification.

"Xiao Tian, ​​you should pay more attention to Weibo," said his agent, Sun Qian. "Your follower count is steadily increasing; I estimate you'll have over a million followers after the second round of the competition."

"Sister Qian, what age group are my fans?" Qin Tian asked curiously.

“You have fans of all ages,” Sun Qian said. “According to data analysis, 92% of your fans are women, 25% of whom are mothers, and the remaining 75% are mainly students. Among these 75%, college students account for 25%, and junior and senior high school students account for 50%. We even created a ‘donut’ post for you on Baidu Tieba.”

"Sister Qian, this is something we need to take seriously," Qin Tian said. "We need to guide our fans properly, especially since so many of my fans are minors. We can't let them be led astray by some of them."

Sun Qian rolled her eyes: "Xiao Tian, ​​the more I interact with you, the more I feel that your age doesn't match your personality. Were you faking it all along? Do I need you to remind me of this? Just focus on rapid growth for now! After the competition, the company will have a dedicated team to manage your Weibo account."

"By the way, Sister Qian," Qin Tian said, "I'll be finishing recording the team finals soon, and the grand finals are scheduled to be broadcast live on September 30th. I'll have a month then, so can the company start preparing an album for me?"

"Have you finished writing it?" Sun Qian asked in surprise. "Weren't you going to write it all yourself?"

"It's all written!" Qin Tian said proudly. "One Chinese-style album, and one unrequited love album! Sister Qian, which style do you think I should release?"

I'm not pretending anymore! I'm coming clean! I'm just that awesome!

"How much have you written?" Sun Qian asked in surprise. "Was this something you'd been saving up before? How's the quality?"

"An album with eight or nine songs!" Qin Tian said arrogantly. "The songs are all ready! My songwriting ideas are flowing like a spring, unstoppable! A torrent of inspiration!"

"Alright, alright," Sun Qian said helplessly. "You write the song first. I'll get the company's music director to consider it and see what we can do."

Are all talented people like this? I've heard that those big stars all sing the same song their whole lives! You can't even buy their songs! Good songs are priceless!

"Sister Qian! Hehe! I want to discuss something with you," Qin Tian said in a cheeky tone.

"Huh! (?_?)? Speak properly!" Sun Qian got goosebumps all over.

"It's nothing major," Qin Tian said. "I just want to shoot a few music videos for my album. I was wondering if you could help me with that."

“Nobody watches music videos for digital albums anymore,” Sun Qian said.

"This is my first one! Please give me one!" Qin Tian pleaded.

"Fine, fine! This little boy is quite vain!" Sun Qian grumbled as he left.

Hehehehe!!!

I really need to find a good female lead for the music video!
