Chapter 100: A Better Choice
The 2023 graduation theme song contest hosted by the Ministry of Education of Huaxia and hosted by Huaxia Conservatory of Music, countless music colleges and universities and countless music companies held a final discussion today at Huaxia Conservatory of Music in the magic capital.
The scope of this call for songs is all students of the Higher Conservatory of Music, as well as singers of music companies.
This song contest started at the beginning of the year, and it has been nearly 5 months now, and more than 600 songs have been received, and only 6 songs have been selected from the best, and finally only 6 songs have entered today's discussion.
There are a total of 13 judges for this event, of which 5 are famous professors of the Conservatory of Music, represented by Su Zhongyue.
There are also 4 people who are famous music producers of music companies, represented by Shen Xingya.
The other 3 are consultants of the education department, all of whom used to be singers in the literature and art department, represented by Li Jinglun, who is also the chairman of the jury.
"Okay, everyone is here, let's get to the point, today is the last day of our song call, today we are going to set the theme song for this year's graduation season, and we will announce it in the evening." Li Jinglun said, "The 6 songs shortlisted are all selected by everyone in one round, and everyone is familiar with them, so we don't have to listen to them anymore, so let's start voting directly." ”
"I have 13 tables here, everyone can choose by themselves, you can only choose 3 songs at most, of course, you can also choose one, everyone fill it in, and then we will count."
After Li Jinglun finished speaking, he began to send out forms.
Everyone also cooperated to tick off the songs they felt was appropriate.
After a while, Li Jinglun put away all the forms, and then Li Jinglun sang the votes, and the consultants of the other two education departments began to count.
"One vote for "Farewell"."
"One vote for "Youth Ends"."
"One vote for "We Graduated"."
"One vote for "The Most Unforgettable Summer"."
""The End of Youth" is a ......"
After singing the votes, the final data will come out.
"The End of Youth" 8 votes
"We Graduated" 6 votes.
"The Most Memorable Summer" 6 votes.
"Farewell" 5 votes.
"Corridor" 3 votes.
"Old Times" 2 votes.
Li Jinglun looked at the final votes and was about to announce the results, but suddenly saw a blank form.
"Huh? Who didn't fill out the form? How can there be a blank form!? ”
Everyone who heard Li Jinglun's words looked around curiously.
To be able to come here as a judge, in addition to professionalism, there is also a very important point, that is, to be serious and responsible.
The chairman has asked everyone to fill out the form, how can anyone not fill it out?
In everyone's puzzled and shocked eyes, Su Zhongyue stood up.
"It's me who didn't fill out the form."
Everyone looked at Su Zhongyue, their eyes full of doubts.
"Why?" Li Jinglun was surprised, "Are you not satisfied with my method?" ”
"No, I'm not satisfied with the six songs shortlisted this time, none of them, so I didn't fill in any of them."
Li Jinglun was a little helpless, among these judges, to be honest, what he admired most in his heart was this Su Zhongyue, who had a level, aesthetics, persistence, and dreams.
However, it is a little difficult for such a person to be a colleague.
"Professor Su, we know that you have high taste, we will only choose one of these 6 songs this time, not to ask you to choose a song that you are satisfied with." Li Jinglun said.
Shen Xingya said with a disgusted face: "We all chose, and we are all quite satisfied, but you are not satisfied, what you know is that you think you have high requirements for music, and if you don't know, you think that your level of Professor Su is not enough." ”
In the jury, the school of music companies represented by Shen Xingya mainly values the popularity of music, while the academic school on Su Zhongyue's side attaches more importance to the musicality of songs.
People on both sides have always argued, and the relationship is not too good, but fortunately, Li Jinglun and other three people reconciled from it, so that these last songs took into account both pop and musicality.
Su Zhongyue listened to Shen Xingya's words and said: "I'm not uncooperative, let alone arrogant, if it were before today, I would definitely choose according to the evaluation in my heart." ”
"Not today?" Shen Xingya said.
"Yes, because I have a better choice today, then I definitely won't choose these songs."
Everyone listened to Su Zhongyue's words and stared at him curiously.
Li Jinglun said: "Professor Su, do you have a better choice? Could it be that we had a missing pearl before? ”
Su Zhongyue shook his head and said, "No, the song I said was only heard yesterday, and I was also going to participate in our graduation song competition, and in terms of time, it was still within the time of our song competition." ”
There are many ways to select and send songs, one is to send an email to the main committee of the competition, which is checked by a commissioner, and then sent to the judges.
But the song is coming to an end, and no one has posted it anymore these days.
The second is to select songs through companies in the industry, just like Hong Zhou's "Youth End", which was voted through Dingsheng Entertainment Company.
The third is Su Zhongyue, who is a music professor, and students who have some talent for music creation will send some songs.
After all, it's graduation season, and sometimes students write more in line with the state of students.
So, but when Su Zhongyue said this, everyone thought that Su Zhongyue's students had written some good songs, and he wanted to recommend his students.
However, the jury also has rules to avoid suspicion, that is, singers who have interests with the judges, and the judges should remain silent when the songs are selected.
For example, if you vote for a song by a singer in your own company, you can't vote for it.
Shen Xingya was very unconvinced when he heard this, and said: "Professor Su, could it be that you want to praise your students, there are so many of us, even if you support it, then you still have to talk about songs in the end, you say okay, we may not admit it!" ”
Li Jinglun heard Su Zhongyue say that there are better songs, whether they were written by his students or not, they always have to listen to them.
So Li Jinglun said: "Then please Professor Su, let's listen to it, you said this better song, it's not too late to talk about it after listening to it." ”
Su Zhongyue was not verbose, picked up his mobile phone, and played the song sample that Xu Zhi gave him last night.
As soon as the prelude came out, Shen Xingya sneered.
People in their faction, who pay attention to popularity, listened to the prelude of this song, felt very old, and naturally showed disdain.
Even those professors in the academy listened to it, and they all felt that the prelude of this song seemed to be a little too old-fashioned, like a song from the 90s of the last century.
However, as the singer's voice came out, the professors of the academy showed expressions of appreciation.
What a voice!
The song is also in a high key, and the boys sing it, not sharp, but full of power and emotion.
The caliber of this singer is very high!
Although several judges of the pop school also felt that the singer's voice was very good, they were still not convinced.
This song, when I hear it now, that is, the level at which it can enter the finals, to win completely, as Su Zhongyue said, is better than the 6 songs in the finals, it seems that it is not ......
Everyone was thinking about it, and the chorus of the song had arrived.
The emotional impact of that separation gushes out with the singer's voice, and in the song, there are blessings, retention, memories of the past, and hope for the future!
The thought that had not flashed in everyone's minds, after listening to the chorus part of the song, continued, but this time with a different word.
As Su Zhongyue said, this song is better than the 6 songs in the finals, it seems that it is not ......
No problem!
