Chapter 3: The Challenge of Hell Difficulty
The northwest wind is cold, and the spring is cold.
A small county town at the foot of the Qinling Mountains.
Chang'an County.
Lunch time.
A humble steamed bun restaurant opposite the county hospital.
Window seats.
Jiang Dongliu, who was waiting for the mutton steamed buns to be served, was flipping through one of the world's most popular books, "The Self-cultivation of a Singer".
It's been three days since I traveled to this new world.
Jiang Dongliu's shocked mood gradually calmed down.
The mood of the collapse has gradually returned to normal.
He couldn't have imagined that there was a "magic pen Ma Liang" hidden in their class!
What is the origin of Yang Cong's kid?
Immortals?
Or, a staff member of the Space-Time Cultural Communication Bureau?
In short, that kid is not an ordinary person!
Jiang Dongliu used to confidently think that he was the hottest old ginger.
But in fact, in front of the vast universe, he is not even a small molecule on ginger buds.
The deep-rooted scientific worldview was completely overturned at the moment of crossing.
The road was still under his feet, and he had to forge ahead.
He didn't want to be a coolie for the Space-Time Communication Bureau for the rest of his life.
He must not die of old age in this parallel world without roots and no source.
His home is far away.
He's going home.
The father, who has never been in good health, has already sent away a son back then.
He couldn't let his father send away his sudden death again.
In any case, he has to complete the ultimate crossing mission and travel back as soon as possible.
With his understanding of the new world in the past few days, it is very challenging to successfully complete the ultimate crossing mission.
No, not very big.
It's invincible, super huge!
The people's enthusiasm for singing competitions in this new world is far beyond Jiang Dongliu's imagination.
Even in Chang'an County, a small county town in the eighteenth tier in the central and western regions with a permanent population of no more than 100,000, there are nearly ten singer clubs of all sizes, with more than 100 registered professional singers.
According to incomplete statistics, as of the end of last year, the number of singers (including groups) registered on APM in Huaxia Empire has exceeded 1 million.
Worldwide, APM has 6 million registered singers!
If you want to stand out among these 6 million professional singers, become the king of singers of the times, and lead the Chinese team to win the championship of the Singing World Cup, this is almost an impossible task for ordinary people.
Even with the addition of the loan song system, there is a whole world of music resources to reserve.
Jiang Dongliu's desire to dominate in this high-end music world is still a hellish challenge.
You must know that in the context where European and American pop music dominates the world, Chinese singers who focus on oriental elements have never been recognized by the Western music world.
Since APM has a systematic point ranking system.
In the past 40 years, the highest ranking of Chinese singers or groups in the world is only 62nd.
This is still more than ten years ago.
In recent years, Chinese singers have not even rushed into the top 100 in the world.
Not to mention competing for the king of singers of the times, Chinese singers are not even qualified to compete for the singer of the year.
The results of the singing national team are also a mess.
has missed two consecutive singing World Cup competitions.
Due to the huge music market in China, singers can eat very openly and live a very moist life when they mix well in their country.
Therefore, few Chinese singers are willing to take the initiative to go abroad.
China's own music ecology is slightly separated from the world's mainstream music circle led by Europe and the United States.
Although everyone accepts APM's unified scheduling management and arrangement, there are also many Chinese fans who like European and American style music.
But more Chinese fans are immersed in the atmosphere of self-entertainment, and they do not "worship foreigners", but are more accepting of their own pop culture.
Chinese domestic pop music is also in a class of its own, and has not yet been accepted by the so-called mainstream music circles in the West.
If Jiang Dongliu wants to become the king of singers of the times and win the singing World Cup for China, he must break the barriers of pop music culture between the East and the West.
At present, he does not know how to break these barriers.
After all, he has just come to this world, and he has never been a singer before.
He had to learn everything from scratch.
The book "The Self-cultivation of Singers" in his hand was given to him free of charge by the song lending system after he crossed over, helping him get familiar with the pop music culture here.
This time, his soul has penetrated the new world, and his physical body has been reshaped by the system.
The new body form is almost exactly the same as the self-world.
They are all big men of 1.9 meters.
A square face with a Chinese character and a huge cheek raiser.
Broad shoulders, long legs of the male model.
He has a dark complexion and short hair, and at first glance looks like a black iron tower.
Look closely, it's mediocre, not too handsome, that is, the level of the square-faced Gu Tianle.
His name is still Jiang Dongliu.
The new identity set by the system is a wandering singer.
The date of birth on the new ID card has not changed, it is still June 2, 1993.
Nationality, Yanjing.
The ID card in this world is simple.
It only has name, gender, date of birth and place of origin, and no permanent address.
So Jiang Dongliu didn't know where his home was in this new world.
However, the novice village where he is now located, Chang'an County, is located in the Great Chang'an area in central China, which should be his grandfather's hometown.
In this world, his grandfather is a veteran, and he walked out of the ancient capital of Chang'an.
After liberation, Mr. Jiang made a home in Yanjing.
His father and his third generation were born and raised in Yanjing, and they are considered to be Yanjing natives.
But to trace the roots, their hometown should be in Chang'an County.
The time here is the same as the self world.
Today is Saturday, March 7, 2020.
At this point in time, all eyes of the New World people are focused on the beaches of Miami.
In a few days, there will be a once-in-a-decade Singer Contest to determine the new era singer who led the world pop music trend from 2010 to 2019.
Since the beginning of the 90s of the last century, a total of three generations of singers with the highest honor have been decided.
They are the British palace band King, which led the trend of the era from 1980 to 1989.
Roy Jackson, the North American pop king who led the trend of the era from 1990 to 1999.
Miley Grande, the American hip-hop diva who led the trend of the times from 2000 to 2009.
These three era singers are all mainstream big-name musicians in the European and American worlds.
If nothing else, the singer of the new era who will be decided next week is still not Europe and the United States.
It is difficult for singers from other regions to have a substantial impact on European and American singers.
In this small noodle restaurant in Chang'an County, there are several tables of diners chatting about who is more optimistic about who will win the crown of the singer of the new era.
However, Jiang Dongliu does not pay attention to these at the moment.
The ultimate goal of competing for the king of the era is too far away.
He hasn't taken the first step in the long march yet.
He has to register as a professional singer under the APM system first, and then earn points in one stop of the competition.
When he has enough points, he will be qualified to dream of a future that will go to Asia and go to the world.
