When the list of candidates for the best lyricist was announced, Xu Zitong couldn't help but smile on his face. Although the sense of victory and defeat is not so strong, and the view is also very open, but when joy falls from the sky, of course, it is also overjoyed. It's a pity that I didn't get shortlisted for the best newcomer and best composer I aspired to, but it's also good to be shortlisted for the best lyricist, there are only four people in China a year, and he is one of them, so what's the dissatisfaction!

"And I'm just a first-year rookie. Xu Zitong said to himself, "Who knows what will happen today next year." ”

Xu Zitong pushed open the door of the room, came to the living room, found his parents, and said with a smile: "Mom, don't watch "My Marriage Era" tonight, haven't you watched it once......?

He still spoke at a slow pace, and only after a bunch of ramblings did he say, "I was shortlisted just now, do you want to know which one?" ”

Zheng Youshi held the mobile phone in his hand, glanced at the speech in the chat group, turned it over, and put it on the left hand side. While his parents were happy, encouraged and praised him, and he was happy and proud, he couldn't help but feel a little lost in his heart.

Being able to be shortlisted for the Best Newcomer Award is certainly worth celebrating, but seeing that Li Xiang, who debuted together, has been shortlisted for three awards, I have all kinds of emotions in my heart. After losing to him in the finals of "Today's Star", now he has lost another ride, and the gap seems to be widening.

Although the annual list of Yuefu has not yet been fully revealed, the competition between him and Li Xiang has ended, ending in his defeat. In the follow-up several heavy awards, such as Best Song of the Year, Best Male Singer, Best Album, etc., he didn't dare to have extravagant hopes.

On the contrary, he didn't dare to have extravagant hopes, put down his mind, and began to cheer for Li Xiang wholeheartedly, looking at today's situation, the annual general list of Yuefu is very favored by Li Xiang, and Li Xiang is likely to be shortlisted for these most important music awards.

If Li Xiang can really be shortlisted, even if he doesn't win the award in the end, it will be a great excitement and honor for Li Xiang and the few of them on "Today's Star".

Being liked by the audience and winning music awards is like the difference between online literature and traditional literature. Although there are many readers of online literature, it is not regarded by traditional literature, and when you see those well-known writers, you have to respectfully call out the teacher.

If Li Xiang can be shortlisted, it will be equivalent to justifying their names as these draft stars.

In a small town in the north, the snow has been falling heavily outside the window, and it has been raining since the evening, and it shows no signs of stopping.

Su Rui and his parents sat in the living room, watching TV while roasting the fire, and it was the CCTV three sets that were playing on the TV.

"What's the difference between this arranger and the composers before him? Why didn't your friends show up?"

His father rubbed his old bark-like hands, roasted them on the charcoal fire, then retracted them, pulled the brand-new black plush coat on his body, made the clothes more smooth, and patted the little charcoal ash that had just fallen on his sleeves, twisted his shoulders, and was very uncomfortable wearing this dress of more than 1,000 yuan.

It's well known that diamonds are one of the hardest substances in the world, but anyone who has one should handle it with care. Su Rui's father is in this mood now.

"Arranging music is a step after composing music and lyrics...... Su Rui patiently introduced to the two old men. His parents didn't know anything about music, and if it weren't for Su Rui's talent, they wouldn't even listen to any pop songs, and all they loved was the box of Peking Opera tapes at home.

The latest award was just announced on TV, the Best Arranger Award, Li Xiang was not shortlisted, and none of the people Su Rui knew were shortlisted, and some behind-the-scenes musicians were shortlisted.

In fact, in Su Rui's opinion, Li Xiang can be shortlisted for this award, his songs are all arranged by himself, why can't he be shortlisted?

After Su Rui explained to his parents what the arrangement was, he looked at the clock on the wall, it was already ten o'clock in the evening, and usually the two old people would go back to sleep at this point, so he had to say that he was leaving tomorrow, and the work of the new year was about to begin.

"Are we really not going to Shengjing?" "His mother just turned 60 in January this year, and the traces of time carved into her face with folds.

"If I don't go, I can earn money to support my family. You cook some food at home and raise a few chickens and ducklings, haven't you always wanted to raise them?" Su Rui said.

Last winter, his parents were sent back to his hometown from the construction site in Shengjing, and the two old people who had been working outside for more than 20 years returned to their hometown for the first time before the Chinese New Year.

When his father heard this, he fell silent, and his mother told Su Rui to take care of himself and call back often.

The topic was a little heavy, Su Rui got up and came to his brother's room, pressed the lamp on the wall next to the door, and the room was instantly illuminated. An iron bed rests against the wall, and the surrounding walls are plastered with pictures of basketball stars. His brother is a basketball enthusiast and has been a mainstay on the school's basketball team for two years of high school.

There was an orange basketball lying quietly on the floor, Su Rui walked over gently, the reflection enveloped the basketball, he bent down, picked up the basketball, and slapped it twice on the ground, in the quiet night, the sound was a little loud, he slapped it twice and didn't shoot again.

The basketball bounced off the ground, was lightly flipped by him, held in the palm of his hand, and placed under the iron frame bed.

He looked around the room, re-examining the furnishings, and finally came to the desk by the window, which was padded with a blue coarse cloth and pressed into a clear glass of glass. Under the glass, some old and yellowed photos are randomly clipped, and a young man with a bright smile can be seen.

Su Rui's gaze moved away from the photo under the glass and landed on the desk, on which was a stack of textbooks for the third year of high school, and he remembered that his brother used to say that when he had money in the future, he would study and go to university by himself. Unfortunately, this wish did not come true.

On both sides of the textbook, there is a polished shiny drill bit, and five photo frames of different sizes, Su Rui picked them up one by one, wiped them carefully, especially the largest one, wiped and wiped, and finally put it gently, unlike the other four photo frames, this photo frame is a black and white avatar.

When his brother was on the construction site in Shengjing, he dived into a drilling well more than 50 meters deep to replace the drill bit, but he never came up again.

The words he said before diving are fresh in his ears - "Don't worry, your brother and I are so good, catch fish from the small drill ditch, no one can compare with the water nature, this time it's just along the cable down, and then along the cable up, it's very simple, don't worry, go down for 10,000 yuan at a time! This money is not earned in vain, you guard here, I will come up in a quarter of an hour, and then accompany you to "Today's Star" to sign up. ”

The weather was very stuffy that day, and his brother was wearing a heavy diving suit, and he was already sweating before he got down the well. He waited for a quarter of an hour by the drill, his brother didn't come up, the whole construction site panicked, waited for an hour, still didn't come up, people had no hope, waited for two hours, his brother came up, was fished up, already dead can no longer die, holding the drill bit that killed him in his hand.

This fatal drill bit, now polished and shiny, was forever placed in his brother's room, opposite the black-and-white photo.
