Chapter 23: Rejection
At lunchtime, Wu Fan received a voice message from Du Lala.
"If it's convenient, voice communication is a very important thing for you."
Durala accentuated the tone with the words "very important".
Wu Fan had doubts in his heart, so he decisively dialed it over.
It's done!
"If there's something very important, let's talk about it quickly, I have limited time." Wu Fan asked directly.
Durala has long been accustomed to the way King's Landing speaks, and she doesn't beat around the bush, "You have made a wave of popularity with "Sou Shen Ji", and the company is now offering to sign you as the company's exclusive author, which is a rare opportunity for you." ”
"Sign me?" Wu Fan asked rhetorically to confirm, but his mood did not fluctuate much.
"Yes, as an author, you must know what it means to sign an author, I won't say more nonsense, you think about it yourself."
Durala hesitated, but still said his advice, "As a friend, I think you should agree, and at least you will be able to write in the future." ”
Wu Fan fell into a brief groan.
Durala's well-intentioned advice is the wisest choice, but it is relative to other authors.
In fact, there are some drawbacks to the contracted author, that is, no more literary works can be posted on other websites in the future, even if it is a poem, and the ownership of the work belongs to the website, and it has nothing to do with the author.
Wu Fan is a little resistant to these two items alone, not to mention some other hard requirements, such as "how many times a day", "no excused leave", "I promote and sell books on the spot", etc.
Therefore, Wu Fan immediately made a decision.
"I refused, you can help me call back to your company executives."
"This matter is good for you, you should think about it again." Du Lala had long been accustomed to Wu Fan's abnormal response, so she reminded her out of kindness.
"No need." Wu Fan smiled and said, "Help me thank your company's senior management for their attention to me, and my new work will be released by Hailan Novel Network in the future." ”
Since people threw out an olive branch when they were still lacking in their wings, they had to express themselves, right?
"You...... Well, since you've decided, I'll reply truthfully. Durala tried to persuade again, but when she thought of King's Landing's stubborn temper, she gave up.
hung up the voice, and Du Lala directly informed Liu of King's Landing's choice.
"What? He actually refused? Have you made it clear to him that this is the treatment that nine out of ten authors desperately want to get? Liu Zhibian's voice rose a few degrees, thinking that he had heard it wrong.
……
Stadium.
The afternoon session of the first day of the competition began.
Excellent-grade songs began to appear frequently.
Sharp reviews are also endless.
Yang Guang smiled, "This song "Your Answer" has medium lyrics and excellent ......"
Liu Yong said proudly, "The lyrics are composed by Ma Benhao, and I will help him ...... the song."
Zhou Lili chuckled, "Teacher Liu's shot must be an excellent score, and then the soundtrack will be arranged by the philharmonic team composed of your students, it will be difficult to ...... if you don't want to listen to it."
Liu Yong couldn't hide his smile, "Don't slap my ass, this student sings well, you have to pull her." ”
Zhou Lili responded, "Teacher Liu personally spoke, can I say no......"
……
Wang Wei proudly introduced, "This song "Encounter" was written by Ma Benhao when he was a freshman, and the words are ...... by me."
Yang Guang nodded, "When I came to comment, I was amazed by this song......"
Chen Meiqi's eyes were bright, thinking that this song was very suitable for her own singing, and she couldn't help but be a little moved, as a singer, she came here to participate in the review, one of the purposes was to pick songs for her new album.
"This is Ma Benhao's second excellent song, right? Each one is very good, and I'm looking forward to his other works. ”
Wang Wei laughed loudly, "He is a rare talent in our school for ten years, and the output of excellent works is amazing, but ...... There's another person I'm looking forward to. ”
Liu Yong nodded in agreement, "I'm looking forward to it too, let's continue to appreciate it." ”
One mentor is looking forward to it, and two mentors are looking forward to it together, which is enough to attract attention, and the other commentators and even everyone in the observation group immediately became interested.
……
Time flies.
The background curtain on the stage reported Zhao Xiaobei's name and performance repertoire.
Song: "Birds and Cicadas"
Singing: Zhao Xiaobei
Lyrics: Wu Fan
Composer: Wu Fan
Wang Wei whispered, "His work is here, it is a new work, let's enjoy the quality together." ”
Yang Guang was a little surprised, "Really? The lyrics and music are all done by himself alone? ”
Liu Yong has the most say in this regard, and a few days ago, he watched Wu Fan complete the soundtrack independently.
"It's true, and there's more than that! I won't spoil the specifics, it's better to keep a little mystery. Liu Yong said with some emotion.
……
Zhao Xiaobei took the stage with her hands and feet, facing everyone without stage fright, she looked around, and did not find that familiar face in the crowded head, and couldn't help but feel a little lost.
Soon, the soundtrack will begin!
Zhao Xiaobei restrained his mind and sang in a sweet voice: "You said that youth is the best match for first love"
"Like light snow falling on the shoreline"
……
"You fly away proudly, the summer where I live"
"The inaudible manifesto has been repeated for many years"
……
"In my mature smiley face"
"You Haven't Seen It"
At the end of the epilogue, the soundtrack slowly disappeared, and Zhao Xiaobei's mood gradually subsided.
She bowed to everyone, and Shi Shiran stepped down to look for Wu Fan.
Comment seats.
Yang Guang's eyes showed a hint of shock, "Excellent lyrics, no!" It is infinitely close to phenomenal lyrics, and the idea is far-reaching, just like listening to a poem. ”
Wang Weile said, "This kid doesn't make a move, as soon as he makes a move, he is an excellent song, and he lives up to my expectations." ”
Liu Yong sighed slightly, "The words are good, but it's a pity that the soundtrack is medium, if I was allowed to help at that time, the effect could go up a notch." ”
Yang Guang laughed, "This soundtrack is very good, after all, he is arranged, and he is proud of this degree alone." ”
Chen Meiqi smiled lightly and quietly wrote down the song, "This song is quite suitable for me to sing." ”
Zhou Lili nodded in agreement, "This song doesn't eat singing skills, it is suitable for the public to sing." ”
Meng Yifei added, "The image of the singer is not bad. ”
……
In the crowd, Wu Fan listened to all kinds of comments in his ears one by one, and shook his head helplessly.
All the teachers are praising the excellence of this song, but they do not praise Zhao Xiaobei's performance too much, which is enough to show that Zhao Xiaobei did not support this song.
This is not only Zhao Xiaobei's problem, but also the problem of many well-known singers, because the songs are too good, the singers do not have enough ability to support, and it is very easy to appear that the singers are not popular.
Wu Fan can't do anything about this, if Zhao Xiaobei's debut is not successful this time, then just wait for later, after all, Zhao Xiaobei's dream is to be an actor.
in the Mission.
Du Yinyin listened to this song and felt that birds and cicadas are the existence of two worlds, and it is normal to miss something, but what about people?
Could this song have come from me, implying that it is impossible for me and him?
What a jerk!
Du Yinyin gritted her teeth a little, her eyes swept among the many students, she didn't see the familiar face, and she couldn't help but feel a little lonely.
"This girl can sing her songs, which means that she has a lot to do with him, is it his ex-girlfriend?" She began to speculate.
……
In the end, Zhao Xiaobei's performance scored 87.4 points, neither high nor low, and no one can say whether he can make his debut.
The performance continued until the end of the first day of the performance.
A total of five excellent-level songs appeared, after all, it is not cabbage everywhere.
Thereinto.
Wu Fan's works appeared in one song, Ma Benhao appeared in three, all of which achieved good results, and Qian Liang's "Can You Can" is still the first in the current results.
The crowd at the stadium began to exit in an organized and disciplined manner.
Outside the stadium.
Zhao Xiaobei pursed his lips a little unhappily and found where Wu Fan was.
"Senior, I'm sorry, I ......" Zhao Xiaobei's eyes were brewing with loss, and if he was not comforted, it would turn into tears.
"Stop! You stop me. Wu Fan had a headache, and hurriedly said, "Blame me, the song I chose for you is a bit strong, with your current experience singing, it is inevitable that you will not be able to integrate into the artistic conception of the song, you have done a very good job." ”
"But ......," Zhao Xiaobei wanted to say something.
Wu Fan hurriedly interrupted, "It's nothing, there are people who are not as good as you, in my eyes, it is enough for you to do it to such an extent, it's a big deal to continue in the next year, I'll help you." ”
"Really? This is what you said personally, senior, and you must not go back! As soon as Zhao Xiaobei heard this, he immediately became lively again, where was the posture of decadence and sadness just now.
Wu Fan stared at the other party speechlessly.
He has reason to suspect that Zhao Xiaobei's appearance just now was shown to him, that is, he was tricking his words, no wonder he wants to be an actor, he is really acting all the time.
Li Danni and Li Fang, this will also come over quickly.
"Zhao Xiaobei, you are doing well." Li Danni praised from the bottom of her heart.
"I still know how effective it is." Zhao Xiaobei said bluntly in the face of praise, "I didn't play well this time, next time I will work harder to sing well." ”
"I'll go to Li Fang tomorrow to perform, give her some encouragement." Wu Fan smiled, "Come on, don't drop the chain like Zhao Xiaobei." ”
"Sister Fang, come on!" Zhao Xiaobei encouraged.
"Come on, Xiao Lizi." Li Danni said with a smile.
"Hmm." Li Fang nodded, her heart warm.
Suddenly, a familiar female voice sounded from not far away, and Wu Fan's smile froze directly on his face.
"Wu Fan, it turns out that you are here, so it will be easy for me to find it."
Du Yinyin came, and her beautiful eyes swept over several people one by one, and finally stayed on Wu Fan.
"Hey!"
Wu Fan said hello with a smile, and then introduced him to a few people, "Du Yinyin, a colleague in the company." ”
When Li Danni and Zhao Xiaobei saw Du Yinyin, their beautiful eyes flashed with hostility, just because the other party was first-class in terms of figure and appearance, especially a decent outfit, which added a lot to it.
Du Yinyin listened to the introduction to herself, and smiled meaningfully, "Is it just a colleague in the company?" Also, there are so many beauties on campus, no wonder I didn't look at me when I went to the company. ”
