The Journey to Godhood in Another World

Chapter 166 Composing Songs for Kyoto

After all the singers had finished performing, the atmosphere at the venue reached its peak.

Unsurprisingly, Shen Yan'an's rendition of "Heaven and Earth Dragon Scales" won the Golden Melody award for its magnificent melody, delicate and moving lyrics, and Shen Yan'an's perfect performance.

When the host announced that "Heaven and Earth Dragon Scales" had won the Golden Melody Award, the audience erupted in applause and cheers.

Shen Yan'an and Luo Li walked hand in hand onto the stage, accepted the Golden Melody Award medal, their faces beaming with excitement and joy.

The song "Heaven and Earth Dragon Scales" is like a boulder thrown into a sea of ​​music, creating ripples. It quickly dominated the trending topics for a long time, maintaining its high popularity.

Even more unexpectedly, the song brought a huge influx of visitors to the Forbidden City. Suddenly, tourists from all over the world flocked to the Forbidden City like a tidal wave.

For a long time, the threshold of the Forbidden City was almost worn down by the crowds. Every morning, before the Forbidden City even opened, long queues had already formed at the entrance.

Among the tourists were young couples, hand in hand, their eyes filled with longing for the Forbidden City; elderly people with white hair, accompanied by their families, came to experience the charm of this ancient palace; and many students carrying backpacks, notebooks in hand, ready to record every wonderful moment in the Forbidden City.

Seeing this staggering amount of traffic, many people were tempted. Soon, someone contacted Luo Li, hoping to use "Heaven and Earth Dragon Scales" as the promotional song for the Palace Museum.

After hearing the purpose of their visit, she didn't hesitate at all and said with a smile, "I feel very honored to be able to promote the Palace Museum. You can contact my agent, Song Hui, directly to sign the contract."

Then Luo Li called Song Hui to tell her the good news. After hanging up, Luo Li told Shen Yan'an about it, and the two of them were proud that their work had such an impact.

This incident quickly spread throughout the entertainment industry and also attracted the attention of tourism authorities in Kyoto.

Seeing that a song could generate such a huge tourism boom, they couldn't help but think that if they could create a promotional song for Kyoto, it might also boost Kyoto's tourism industry to a new level and relieve some of the pressure on the National Palace Museum.

So they turned their attention to the "I Am a Composer" program.

After receiving a request from the Kyoto tourism authorities, the production team, after some discussion, decided to make the theme of the next episode "Creating a Song for Kyoto".

When the eight composers received the theme for the next round, they were all somewhat at a loss for words. The theme seemed simple, but it was actually extremely difficult.

Kyoto, a city steeped in history and culture, boasts countless historical sites and cultural landscapes. To capture its charm in a single song is no easy task.

They knew this was both a challenge and an opportunity. Creating a great promotional song for Kyoto would not only contribute to Kyoto's tourism industry but also elevate their own music careers.

Next, the host, Shen Yan, led everyone on a tour of Kyoto. Their first stop was the ancient city walls of Kyoto. The morning sunlight shone on the ancient walls, giving them a golden glow.

The city wall has weathered the test of time, and some of its bricks and stones are now mottled, but it exudes a unique historical charm.

Luo Li stroked the city wall, feeling its weight and vicissitudes. She looked at the city wall quietly, and the prosperous scene of the capital in the past appeared in her mind.

Next, they arrived at an old street in Kyoto. The old street was lined with antique buildings, wooden doors and windows, and blue-tiled roofs, as if they had been transported back to ancient times.

On the streets, there are small shops selling all kinds of traditional handicrafts and snack stalls with fragrant aromas.

Shen Yan'an and Luo Li strolled along the ancient street, enjoying Kyoto's local snacks and admiring the handicrafts on the street.

They saw an old man making traditional Kyoto folding fans, and their exquisite craftsmanship amazed them.

The old man told them that this craft had been passed down for generations and was part of Kyoto culture.

Everyone was deeply moved after hearing this. They realized that Kyoto's culture is not only reflected in its famous historical sites, but also in the ordinary details of daily life.

In the following time, Shen Yan led the composers to visit famous scenic spots such as the Summer Palace and the Temple of Heaven.

At each stop, Shen Yan provided detailed introductions to the historical and cultural background of the attractions, while the composers immersed themselves in the charm of the city, drawing inspiration for their creations.

As night fell, they arrived at Shichahai. The lake shimmered, and the bars along the shore were brightly lit, a perfect blend of tradition and modernity.

Shen Yan and the composers strolled along the lake, admiring the beautiful night view. "The night at Shichahai has both historical charm and modern fashion. Here, you can experience the diverse culture of Beijing."

Shen Yan's words made the composers fall into deep thought, pondering how to incorporate this diversity into their music.

Finally, the crucial moment of creation arrived. Luo Li had no hesitation; her answer was already certain.

The once-popular song from her past life clearly surfaced in her mind. It was a melody that carried countless memories and emotions, and every note seemed to be a dear friend from her past life, calling out to her passionately at this moment.

She was determined to make this song, which was popular in her previous life, transcend the boundaries of time and space and bloom magnificently in this brand new world, touching the hearts of every listener and presenting to everyone the moving emotions that had never been known to this land.

Meanwhile, the other seven composers were also working hard on creating a promotional song for Kyoto. Some of them went deep into every corner of Kyoto to find inspiration; some consulted a lot of historical materials to understand Kyoto's culture; and some communicated and collaborated with local musicians to discuss creative ideas together.

Every composer hopes to create a unique promotional song for Kyoto and showcase their musical talent.

Amidst the intensive preparations, Luo Li meticulously crafted a song demo. After much deliberation, she ultimately chose the opening eight lines of lyrics.

As the demo circulated among the singers, she was filled with anticipation, wondering who would choose to collaborate with her this time.

After the demo finished playing, the room fell into a brief silence, followed by a flurry of discussion.

Finally, a singer stood up and expressed his willingness to cooperate. One, two... In the end, six out of the fifteen singers chose her, and Shen Yan'an was among them.

Upon seeing Shen Yan'an raise his hand, Luo Li, thanks to the tacit understanding they had developed in the previous episode, almost without hesitation chose to join hands with Shen Yan'an once again.

Luo Li and Shen Yan'an found a quiet rehearsal room and practiced together again and again. Luo Li patiently explained the emotional expression in the song to Shen Yan'an, while Shen Yan'an listened attentively, striving to perfect every detail.

Other groups are also racing against time. In order to present the most wonderful performance on stage, everyone is going all out. The tense and fulfilling preparations are proceeding in an orderly manner, just waiting for the moment when everyone is looking forward to the performance.
