"The lyrics are in China, the melody is in Japan, the harmony is in Europe, and the rhythm is in Africa."

Ye Su had heard this in his previous life.

Actually, the source of this statement is Gao Xiaosong, and the original words are not Chinese, probably the melody is in Japan, the harmony is in Europe, and the rhythm is in Africa.

Although it is Gao Xiaosong's family's words, there is some controversy between the topics, but it is not without reason, as far as pop music is concerned, it can still be said.

It is true that the birthplace of modern pop music in Asia is Japan, and it is still on par with Japan to varying degrees.

It is undeniable that Japanese pop melodies are the best in Asia.

It is also limited to the concept of "pop music".

There is also a sinister saying called "Japanese songs save Chinese music".

In fact, this is an easy argument to provoke, using vague concepts and directly generalizing.

It should be called "Japanese Songs Used to Save Chinese Pop Music".

In the early days of the development of Chinese music, Chinese music had little to do with the mainland, and Hong Kong and Taiwan music accounted for two-thirds or even more of the entire market.

The music market in Hong Kong and Taiwan is almost established by imitating the Japanese model, and many excellent music is also a cover of some Japanese songs, and many familiar classic music, but if you look closely, it is mostly covers, such as Li Keqin's Red Sun, such as F4's meteor shower, such as the Red Dragonfly of the Little Tigers, as well as Jacky Cheung, Leslie Cheung, Li, Teresa Teng, Li Hacken, Zhou Huajian, Faye Wong, Aaron Kwok, etc.

Although it is a bit ruin in the three views and ruined childhood, I have to say that this is the truth.

As far as pop music is concerned, I have to admit that Japan is indeed the number one in Asia.

Of course...... It's just pop music.

Classical music, that's another story.

If the whole music is encompassed because it is just pop music, then it is pure induction.

In the final analysis, it is only because there is a mature system, and the system in the mainland has matured too late.

This is a very critical point.

However, the Huaxia in this world is much better, and Ye Su can often see some Chinese songs when he goes to the CD store, but there is still a lot of way to go...... It's just that these are none of Ye Su's business. He just asked for advice on music because the fan was a little biased.

After thinking about it for a while, his editor-in-charge, Sugi Chi, also sent such a message.

"The publishing house is preparing to plan such an event, using the teacher's new book as the protagonist of the event."

Ye Su asked, "What activity?" ”

"This is the event." Sugi Chi said the same and sent a connection.

Ye Su clicked on the link and saw that this was an unfinished web page, but he could already roughly understand what kind of web page this was.

There's a huge, demagogic line of text on it—

"Million Bounty Illustration Prize!! Kadokawa Bunko's blockbuster event, let's take off for your dreams! ”

There are some small prints underneath -

If you love to draw, have you been struggling to prove yourself, and because of the plot, you can't become a cartoonist? Now, here's your chance!

You can become an illustrator.

Kadokawa Bunko is now holding a dream event, a million bounty illustration contest! If you succeed in the competition, you will be rewarded, and if you are successful in the final review, you will be able to become an illustrator for the teachers, and you will be able to make a successful debut, and you can enjoy a million yen prize, and the illustration manuscript fee will be calculated separately!

The work of the first season of the contest is the author of the famous work "The Melancholy of Haruhi in the Cool Palace", the new book of Mr. Blue and White Thorn!

Headless Horseman Persona! 》

A rare urban group drama style, this is a blockbuster work, an absolutely wonderful work. Make your debut as an illustrator for this novel and make your dreams come true!

Ye Su quickly understood that this was the case, and was still thinking about what kind of illustrator Kadokawa Bunko would find for himself, but who knew that he hadn't looked for it at all for a long time, but came to such an event.

Illustrator Award!

This is a kind of hype, and if it is managed properly, it is completely capable of hyping up the fame of this novel. For Ye Su, it is beneficial and harmless.

"That's a good plan." After Ye Su finished reading it, he immediately typed on the keyboard and expressed his attitude.

"Yes, this will expand the popularity of this new book in the shortest possible time, and our publishing house is also ready to hire some people to carry out a certain scale of hype and publicity for this. Originally, I was a little worried about whether Teacher Ye Su would be disgusted, but since Teacher Ye Su understood, it would be better. Sugi Chi also quickly replied to Ye Su like this.

Ye Su smiled and typed:

"I'm not a person who doesn't know what to do, how can I be disgusted. I might as well hope that this event will become as famous as possible. ”

"It's also the first time that our publishing house has done this kind of activity. Although I often do the novel award, this is the first time I have illustrated it. I hope it works well. ”

Kadokawa Bunko's million-dollar bounty for illustrations,This title soon officially appeared in forums.,It quickly became popular.。 Awards for comics and novels are common, but awards for illustrations are very rare.

Illustration is a crucial part of a light novel.

Mr. Blue and Thorn's new work, the Headless Horseman's Persona, also quickly appeared in the eyes of many people.

This also made many people can't help but say when discussing the illustration bounty, "Why not the second volume of Haruhi Suzumiya, but the new book Headless Horseman?" ”

What's more, I can't help but speculate, is Haruhi Suzumiya not ready to write?

It stands to reason that selling such a good work should not be given up at all, and the second volume will be published soon, but the second volume has not yet been released, and the new book has come out. For a while, it naturally caused a considerable amount of dissatisfaction among fans.

These fans found Ye Su's Twitter and privately messaged Ye Su one by one, saying that they wanted to read the second volume of Haruhi Suzumiya, not any new book.

"Why do you want to open a new book? Continue to write about Suzumiya Haruhi. ”

"I want to see Haruhi Suzumiya! I want to see Haruhi Suzumiya! ”

"Haruhi Suzumiya shouldn't abandon the pit and stop writing, right? Don't, such a beautiful novel, why give up! ”

"I won't buy new books! I'm going to Haruhi Suzumiya! ”

These private messages made Ye Su a little speechless, he explained the cause and effect on Twitter, Haruhi Suzumiya will continue to write without any delay, but these people didn't even bother to look at Twitter, so they directly sent a private message, but he also understood their feelings, and after thinking about it, he sent another statement tweet.
