Chapter 325 Taking Turns to Appear

"It's so strict. This song sounds pretty good, but it's still only pending." Ivy said while applauding and frowning.

Luo Quan said with a smile: "After all, it is pop music. It is normal for the teachers at the college not to like it. I think it will be better if I switch to classical pure music of the same level."

Ivy had a bitter look on her face: "I'm still rock and roll, I'm afraid it's even worse."

Luo Quan comforted: "Don't be afraid of failure. Besides, you are on stage this time for training. It doesn't really matter whether you can pass the preliminary round."

"That's true."

The competition continued, and the contestants also brought their works to the stage for teachers and classmates to taste. The quality of the works was also good and bad, but no matter how bad the work was, the teachers still gave priority to encouragement, and those who did not pass Students who are preliminary but have potential will be comforted and asked to try again next year.

Soon, it was Ivy, No. 10, who took the stage.

"Now, I would like to invite contestant No. 10, Ivy, who is a sophomore from the Bel Canto Department, to give you the rock song "Orange"."

"Come on!" Luo Quan clenched his fists and cheered her up.

Ivy turned around and gave her boss a drink and a smile, then walked onto the stage and took a deep breath.

Before she started singing, a teacher in the audience said something: "Rock songs were rarely seen before, especially for those who studied bel canto to sing rock songs. Can you tell me why you chose this theme?"

Ivy smiled: "Actually, there is no other reason, because I like rock and roll."

The teacher was a little strange: "Then you should have gone to the pop vocal department. The bel canto department feels a bit inconsistent."

Ivy smiled awkwardly: "I filled in the wrong major code when I applied."

The entire auditorium burst into laughter, and several teachers in the audience couldn't help laughing.

Principal Zheng had a deep voice and a smile on his face: "In fact, in major universities across the country, there are many college students who fill in the wrong code to learn a major that is not their favorite. However, it does not mean that you have chosen the wrong major, which means you will embark on this path. The path is also wrong, maybe you will be glad that you chose Bel Canto in the future.”

Ivy nodded respectfully: "I hope so."

"let's start."

Ivy's talent in music is quite good, and her musical literacy is not low. The melodies of the songs she creates are very thoughtful, and the lyrics are also very informative.

However, this type of music is a little more experimental, just like the Liu Yang Luo Quan met on "I Am a Singer" a few days ago. People who know the music know what makes his songs great, but ordinary listeners will only think that He is crying like a ghost.

This kind of music has little market in China, but it will have a considerable number of fans abroad, especially because Ivy still sings rock music.

After the song was sung, several teachers did not immediately draw conclusions for her.

From a purely aesthetic point of view, Ivy's songs are not as good as those of Zhou Tang, who was the first to play, but the musicality and depth of the lyrics are much better.

In the end, several teachers also allowed Ivy to advance to the next round of competition because of the relatively small number of rock entries.

"Thank you, teacher!" Ivy was overjoyed when she heard that she had been promoted.

On the stage just now, looking at the countless faces of people in the audience looking directly at her, Ivy was quite nervous. Many of the lyrics were sung a little unclearly. She originally thought that this time she would definitely be raped. I brushed it off, but I didn’t expect it to pass!

"Ivy, right?" The person asking the question was Wang Zhujun, the head of the composition department. He had met Luo Quan before, and the two had discussed the elegance and vulgarity of songs.

Director Wang commented with a serious expression: "I personally don't like most of the rock music on the domestic market, because those creators are just formalities, moaning for no reason, and some of them are just selling sheep over dogs. What they are saying is Rock music is actually popular when sung.

But from your episode I heard real rock and roll, with simple lyrics and attitude without being pretentious. I think it’s very good.

But the melody still needs to be polished a little bit. Rock and roll is more of a music that speaks to the public. If it is not catchy enough, no matter how deep it is, it will only be for the ears of the deaf - a decoration, unless your lyrics can win the Nobel Prize, but No rock singer has ever reached this level.

I suggest you listen to more of Luo Quan's songs. She is currently the only composer in China who has achieved the ultimate in depth and breadth at the same time. Whether it is pop or rock, her level is at the pinnacle of this era. If you listen carefully, you will definitely have something Good harvest, and I hope you can go further on the road of music! "

"Thank you, teacher." Ivy said sincerely and bowed to thank Wang Zhujun.

It can be heard that Director Wang is still very optimistic about Ivy. He made her strengths and weaknesses so clear and pointed out the direction of efforts and the object of study.

Although this learning thing can be applied to most popular music creators today.

Luo Quan, who was sitting in the audience, also felt a little strange at this time. He never thought that one day she would become a learning object. Isn't this the kind of treatment only those big names in the industry can get?

Although she has been popular for a whole year, she always feels like she is still a newcomer. However, listening to what Director Wang said, she seems to be much better than those big guys.

From this, we can actually understand the attitude of many passers-by in China towards Luo Quan. After all, I don't particularly understand my own status, and outsiders are even more limited.

The main reason is that Luo Quan's popularity is too fast, and her popularity cannot match her strength. In addition, due to the domestic wall, there is a huge gap between Luo Quan's popularity at home and abroad.

Even though Luo Quan is currently very popular in China, with more than 10 million Weibo fans, and his live broadcast is always millions of hits, but compared with those top-notch celebrities, he is not even a star.

Luo Quan is now abroad and is undoubtedly a top-notch brand. It's a pity that she doesn't pay special attention to managing her popularity abroad.

It can only be said that there is still a lack of a professional marketing team. As long as there is a more reliable brokerage company, Luo Quan will be promoted to the star level of the Chinese Light with his current achievements.

After all, Luo Quan needs good looks, academic qualifications, and works.

However, it’s hard to say anything about the entertainment industry. If Luo Quan really has an economic company, the announcements about her will definitely be flying all over the sky, and fans and trolls will definitely make fun of her everywhere. Can her image be maintained as good as it is now? Popularity will be a huge question mark.

For her, maintaining the status quo is the most comfortable. She can choose what she likes and reject what she hates. She has enough rest time and enough money... Well, it seems that it is enough if she is not extravagant and wasteful. .

In short, even if there were no system restrictions, she would not go to any marketing team or economic company.

Returning to the competition site, Ivy, who successfully passed the preliminary round, returned to her seat with a smile on her face.

Luo Quan congratulated and said: "You see, as long as you don't have stage fright and perform steadily, the result will always be satisfactory."

"You don't know how panicked I was up there just now. I sang the wrong lyrics in several places." Ivy stroked her chest with lingering fear and whispered to express some of her inner nervousness.

Luo Quan waved his hand: "It's just a small flaw. How can you be so picky in this kind of preliminary competition?"

After chatting for a while, the two began a long wait. Luo Quan's appearance number was 112, and he had to wait for a hundred contestants to perform, although each person's performance time was compressed to about two minutes. , but when encountering relatively outstanding works, the judges and teachers will give comments or suggestions, which invisibly lengthens the entire competition process.

The game that starts at two o'clock will probably last until seven o'clock in the evening, which means that the two of them will have to sit here for several hours.

After listening to the works of about twenty students, Ivy couldn't stand it anymore at first, and finally yawned, put her phone back in her bag, and said to Luo Quan: "Boss, I'll take a nap and wait until it's your turn." calls me."

"Okay, go to sleep." Luo Quan was quite energetic, mainly because she didn't get up until ten o'clock. She couldn't fall asleep even if she wanted to.

Fortunately, she had fully charged her phone before going out, otherwise she wouldn't have known how to get through such a long afternoon.

It's not that she doesn't want to listen carefully to the works of her classmates. The main reason is that there are so many people, and the quality is really mixed. Many students' music is just for credits. There is no melody at all, and it can't be found from any angle. Advantages, this also makes students often play with their mobile phones for a while, look up when they hear a good song, and then lower their heads to play with their mobile phones again after a while.

You cannot leave during this game, so many students who have finished performing their works are still in their seats, playing with their mobile phones or dozing off.

It is not certain that you will actually fall asleep. In the auditorium, speakers are hung all over the ceiling, and the volume is very loud. As soon as you fall asleep, a sharp high-pitched sound may suddenly wake you up from your dream, so although there are many people who want to sleep, No one can actually fall asleep yet.

Time passed slowly, and the students performed on stage one by one in their own order. The judges and teachers also made evaluations based on the actual situation. Overall, the scene was relatively harmonious.

"Now, I would like to invite contestant No. 111, Fan Ying, a third-year student from the Department of Popular Vocal Music, to bring... the rap song "Social Man"..."

After the girl presided over the announcement, the auditorium fell into silence for a while, followed by a burst of whispers.

Some students discussed in a low voice with their peers:

“Is rap considered music?”

"Does rap have a melody? Isn't it just about the lyrics?"

"Yes, fortunately, it needs music to accompany it."

"Can rap also participate in the competition?"

Obviously, the students in the audience have a big prejudice against rap music.

The teachers also frowned slightly, especially Director Wang. Students who are familiar with him know that he hates rap music extremely.

Even though Luo Quan made him slightly change his verbal opinion with his viewpoint of appreciating both refined and popular culture, he still looked down on rap in his heart.

There is no way, mainly because the song "Drunk Beauty Pairs" that went viral on the Internet a while ago and made crazy money has disgusted many composers. Such nonsense and no music can make money, and they The songs that I put so much effort into writing have no one listening to them.

Although it is shouting about wheat, in the eyes of many people, the difference between shouting about wheat and rapping does not seem to be particularly big.

If this was his professional examination, Director Wang would definitely tell the student named Fan to get out. However, this is a competition organized by the school. He is just a judge and has no such power.

Principal Zheng, who really had such power, did not show any change in his expression. Even if other teachers were dissatisfied, they could only suppress it.

Fan Ying quickly walked onto the stage. As a rapper, he was also dressed in a very hip-hop style. He was wearing a blue baseball cap, with dyed bangs sticking out from the back edge of the hat. He was covered in trendy brands, with the middle finger on his right hand. Also wearing a ring.

Fortunately, he didn't wear any earrings and had no tattoos on his hands. Although his clothes were flashy, they were not indecent. Otherwise, even if Principal Zheng didn't speak, Director Wang would have stood up immediately and asked Fan Ying to step down immediately.

"Fan Ying, you are the first student to go on stage dressed like this." Principal Zheng's tone showed no emotion or anger, but his words clearly meant something.

Fan Ying said respectfully: "I like hip hop, so I usually wear this kind of clothes, and there should be nothing wrong with such clothes.

I hope that the judges will not affect their evaluation of my work due to their prejudice against hip hop. "

After saying this, the audience was in an uproar.

"Wow, this guy is so cool."

"As expected of a rap artist."

"What a personality."

"It should be more personal if he is given a direct punishment later."

"I'm really afraid that if his song doesn't make the cut later, he'll just curse on the stage."

"That's not true. Rap ​​is not about swearing. Besides, he is still a college student. How can he be so unqualified?"

"It's hard to say. It's not like you don't know what those rappers on the Internet are like."

"One thing to say, one thing to say, indeed."

There were a lot of discussions in the audience, but he was very calm on stage and had no stage fright at all. This is indeed a commendable advantage.

Principal Zheng's tone was still calm: "I hope your songs can be as amazing as your attitude."

After that, the game begins.

A very exciting beat was playing in the background, and Fan Ying's body began to sway rhythmically with the music, and she began to sing lyrics.

"Social people, social souls, and mixed society people are all superior to others..."

Fan Ying's voice is quite high-pitched, and the whole song is very explosive, which can quite arouse the listener's emotions.

The lyrics sound like they are praising the lives of people in society, but they are actually satirical. They are both praise and criticism. They are quite educational, and the flow is extremely smooth and rhythmic.

Overall, it's a pretty good rap song. Even from Luo Quan's perspective, it's definitely a good song.

The students in the audience were already excited anyway, and the sleepiness they had accumulated before was gone.

The judges and teachers obviously did not expect that the rap student had such real talent. After the song was sung, the discussion started immediately.
