“？？？”

Xu Song's face was full of question marks, and he looked at Lei Dong.

Lei Dong shrugged: "I've made it very clear, what else do you not understand?" ”

Xu Song smiled bitterly: "How can I have time?" The new film will start filming in January at the latest. ”

Lei Dong smiled: "Then Long Zongtai has been invited, I can't refuse in one bite, right?" And it's a big deal, and I'm going to have to discuss it with you. ”

Xu Song thought for a while: "It's really important, but my new movie is also very important, headache." ”

Lei Dong: "Tomorrow Long Zongtai will be officially announced, you can think about it yourself." ”

Xu Song nodded.

At twelve o'clock at noon on December 18th, on December 2 last year, the Dragon Variety TV, which produced the strongest music variety "The Strongest Masked Singer" in the history of China, once again announced a super heavy news: The "First Yangzhou Qu Daddy Competition" organized by the Dragon Country Variety TV Station, Tiger Country tbS TV, Owl Country obc TV, Niu Country cdI TV, and Xiangguo NbE TV will start on January 4, 2025, and the first battle location is Dragon Country!

Because the era of big entertainment pays attention to the internationalization and diversification of entertainment works, and this is the first official competition of the five major entertainment countries in Yangzhou, the rules of the competition are very simple.

There is no limit to the participating music fathers, there is no limit to the participating singers, and each country will send two groups of music fathers + singers to participate in the competition in the name of the country, and the works must be unreleased songs. A total of ten rounds are played, with two for each country. Finally, the points of each country are added together to determine the champion.

The audience was the judges, and each performance was composed of 400 people from each of the five countries

Composed of famous fans, each of whom has a crucial vote.

And the first selection condition for these fans is that in the past three years, the proportion of foreign singles or albums purchased is not less than 20%.

In addition to winning the title of "2025 Yangzhou's Strongest Entertainment Country", the champion will also represent Yangzhou to participate in the "First Global Qu Daddy Competition" to be held in the second half of 2025.

As soon as the news came out, the topic was directly on the hot search list, and in less than an hour, the comments about the competition directly reached hundreds of millions:

"Oh my God, I'm not mistaken, there is still such a sound synthesis?"

"The TV stations of the other four countries are all national TV stations, is it so big this time?"

"And this is equivalent to a qualifier, and the champion has to go to the world finals, which is full of gold!"

"This is the first official competition between the five countries in music, right? My dragon kingdom will win! ”

"Why is it called the Music Daddy Competition, not the Music Competition?"

"Stupid, isn't it, doesn't Qu Dad represent the highest level of music in a country?"

"But this is a competition in the name of the country, isn't it better to use the name 'music'?"

"Why are we arguing about names here, shouldn't we think about how to get votes from audiences in other countries?"

"Speaking of which, in fact, in terms of popularity, we are ranked behind the Owl Country and the Tiger Country, after all, the Owl Country is twenty years earlier than us, and the Tiger Country has also entered the era of big entertainment ten years earlier."

"Yes, the competition between countries and countries is meaningless than the depth of the lyrics, and the melody and singing skills are the most important!"

"And the choreography, which is the visual effects, is also very important."

"Uh, say

Truth be told, our music, like our films, is really not very good internationally. ”

"Don't say these frustrating words, it's not that we can't do it, but that cultural conflicts account for more than half of the reasons."

"Yes, our dragon script is the most difficult script in the world to learn; Secondly, many of our words, translated into foreign languages, are completely unable to express the meaning of them, and the lyrics collapse in half. ”

"Many countries without historical and cultural precipitation are directly minimalist. But this style is the most popular, and of course the most popular. ”

"Why are you talking about this, we are from the Dragon Kingdom, we have to cheer for the Dragon Kingdom, this competition is also a battle for our Dragon Kingdom Entertainment, rush!"

......

And Qu Daddy Tian Bai, who is also the music director of the Long Guofang staff list announced by the "First Yangzhou Qu Daddy Competition", published a long news on Twitter in the evening:

"Whether it's a private message or a tweet, a lot of friends or fans have asked me the same question, and I'm here to give a unified response, and it just so happens that this question says a lot of things.

Why does the "First Yangzhou Qu Daddy Competition" obviously use the title of "individual" as 'Qu Dad' when it is clear that the contestants are all participating in the name of the country?

First of all, some netizens have said that Qu Dad itself represents the highest level of music in a country;

Secondly, although it is a competition in the name of the country, in the final analysis, this is still a variety show, entertainment is very important, and 'musicality' is relatively one-sided.

To put it simply, if you want to win, you must not only get the votes of your own audience, but also the votes of the audience of other countries, so what kind of music type is the most tolerant

Easy to do?

Of course, it is pop music that can impress audiences in other countries from the perspective of 'borderlessness'.

So what is pop music?

It is music that can quickly enjoy or stimulate the listener's hearing and vision.

To be honest, in terms of international popularity, we are indeed slightly inferior to the Owl Country and the Tiger Country, and the Cow Country and the Elephant Country are only in between, but since we have participated, please rest assured that we Dragon Country musicians will definitely do our best to play the best results! ”

Here's a dense response:

"Come on!"

"The Dragon Kingdom will win!"

"I believe in you!"

"What are you afraid of, we have Daddy Xu!"

"Hahaha, when it comes to the heart, look at the international music best-selling list of Owl Country and Tiger Country this year, there are several songs of Daddy Xu in the top ten."

"Nobody has been number one on the international music charts in many countries on the West Continent for several weeks."

"So it's over, our Daddy Xu, Daddy Hua, Daddy Huang, Daddy Lin, Daddy Tian, they are more than a dozen Daddy Qu, but they are all real guns."

......

Xu Song has also been paying attention to the topic of "The First Yangzhou Qu Daddy Competition" this day, of course, he also read Tian Bai's Twitter, coupled with the cheering and trusting posts of fans on his Twitter, Xu Song finally made a call to Lei Dong:

"Reply to Long Zongtai, just say I'll participate."

Lei Dong smiled: "In each competition, only five Qu Daddy will be selected to participate, and then two of the best works will be selected from them, if you are just for the fishing boat, it would be good to row the water, and we must also believe in the ability of other Qu Daddy." ”

Xu Songqing

He smiled and said, "Since I have decided to participate, I will definitely do my best." ”

"That's up to you. Anyway, you don't need to make yourself so tired, the company has already investigated, Linda is still on vacation, and there are no plans to make a new film for the time being, your movie can also be made slowly, and then snipe her directly, and then beat her at the global box office, isn't it better? Lei Dong suggested.
