Are you trying to force me to become a star?

Chapter 15 Champion

Why choose this theme for your creation?

Xu Jinyan thought for a moment and replied, "The reason I created this piece of music is because, in addition to liking music, I also particularly like kung fu since I was a child."

"After the semi-finals, while I was pondering the song I would write for the finals, I met a friend by chance: Wang Yizhen, a director at Fengtai Group. He really liked the music I wrote, and we had a great conversation. Then he suggested that I incorporate kung fu elements into the music. For example, Li Lianjie has a movie that is about to be released called 'The Great Hero Huo Yuanjia.' I thought about it and accepted the suggestion."

"Thank you, Director Wang. Because of you, we have this song, 'Huo Yuanjia.' I hope you like it."

Watching Xu Jinyan spout nonsense with such a straight face, Sun Dakang almost lost control of his expression.

Of course he knew who Wang Yizhen was. It was Wang Yizhen who had shown him Hua Chenyu's semi-final demo. But he was just the head of the talent scout team, not Director Wang.

You promoted him?

The other judges also noticed that Xu Jinyan emphasized Wang Yizhen, who is from Fengtai Group. It seems that Fengtai Group has betrayed them.

Shen Nan's expression was quite subtle. Was it really because of that matter?

"That kid is really wicked," he thought, glancing at Nanfeng, who in turn looked back with a "subtle" expression.

The two exchanged a glance, then turned to look at Xu Jinyan. Tsk tsk, not to be trifled with, and more importantly, quite talented.

If he were to actually reveal that grudge, it would only make him appear petty and vengeful, because without clear evidence, they could argue back and forth, and he would be putting himself in opposition to the big company.

Large companies have their own dignity; they can accept project failures, but they cannot tolerate individuals' unbridled provocations.

Although he was indeed seeking revenge, as long as the investigation reveals that Wang Yizhen was the one who acted shamelessly first, then this can be classified as a personal grudge, which has no impact on the dignity of a large company. After all, which company doesn't have a few scoundrels and parasites?

Meanwhile, the other unsuspecting viewers, seeing Xu Jinyan's serious expression, thought to themselves: Sure enough, after the semi-finals, Xu Jinyan received an offer; it seems he will be joining Fengtai Group.

As for Sun Dakang, the most innocent party in this incident, he looked at Xu Jinyan and smiled, "I see. Indeed, we should thank Director Wang."

Shen Nan almost burst out laughing. This kid even promoted someone else. That's amazing.

Then, with a smile, he asked, "I see that each of your clothes has the words 'Xu Yunge' printed on them. What does that mean?"

Xu Jinyan thought for a moment, "Old Sun is a bit sly; he can even guess what I'm going to say next."

Sure enough, after hearing Xu Jinyan's answer, he said, "I suggest that when you're making music, you should try to maintain a focused and pure mindset. Only by wholeheartedly immersing yourself in it will the music you create be more moving. What do you think?"

Xu Jinyan looked enlightened and said sincerely, "Teacher Sun, you are right. Your guidance has led me to make a decision: if Director Yu Shan and Teacher Li Lianjie approve of this song 'Huo Yuanjia,' I am willing to grant them the rights for free. This would fulfill a childhood dream of mine."

The audience erupted in applause.

[Negative emotions from Sun Dakang: +999]

【ding dong】

Sun Dakang put down the microphone expressionlessly. To the viewers in the live broadcast room, it looked like a senior in the music industry carefully guiding a junior, lighting a guiding light for him, and then watching him move forward with satisfaction.

"Well said!"

"I believe it now; there is humanity in the Chinese music scene, and there is humanity in the entertainment industry."

"See that? That's what inheritance is!"

Sun Dakang: I'll pass on the story of your mother selling fried dough twists.

Zhao Ming and Li Aizhou were both holding back their laughter, thinking you were being mischievous. But then they directly used your words to announce that they were licensing it for free, gaining a good reputation. And you, can you make a better one than this?

If you actually make it, do you think you can ask for no money?

What a show today!

Xu Jinyan looked at the other judges below and couldn't help but feel a little emotional. When she saw Sun Dakang's negative emotions, she glanced at these judges and saw that they were all positive.

He was a little worried that the judges would gang up on him and make him lose the final round. Of course, he wasn't afraid of that, because then this song would be his birthday present to his sister.

His sister has this name; you can check it on the household registration if you don't believe me.

As for the free licensing, he had naturally prepared for it beforehand, and Lao Sun played the straight man, allowing him to bring it up naturally.

On the one hand, it offsets the damage caused by the cancellation of the song, and you don't even need to pay the licensing fee. You can't just label him as a profit-driven person. On the other hand, do the directors and stars even know who you are? What if they don't like your song? What if they think it's a mess? If you just shout out from afar that you created a theme song for a movie, and they don't recognize it, then you're done for.

Even if we take a step back and assume that he loves the director and Li Lianjie very much, he still wouldn't give them a seven-figure sum because they are newcomers.

However, since he was granting the rights for free, Sun Dakang had to "generously" tell the production team: "Since we already have such a good piece of music, let's just let this project go."

So in the end, this is the story of a little boy who dreamed of kung fu as a child and fulfilled his dream when he grew up, without a trace of money.

It's so touching!

The judges' comments session has now concluded. Xu Jinyan's final score is 96 points.

Without a doubt, Xu Jinyan won the championship of this year's "Heavenly Voices and Soulmates" competition.

The moment Xu Jinyan received the trophy, the entire audience erupted in applause, including the five judges, who also stood up and applauded.

Even Sun Dakang was smiling and clapping his hands. If it weren't for the waves of negative emotions he received, he would have really thought that this was a senior with a very broad mind.

Sun Dakang smiled while inwardly cursing. Even if he was unhappy, could he give it a low score? Could he not applaud? This was a live broadcast, after all.

Ultimately, it all comes down to the word "decency."

He just wants to finish this quickly and go back to the company to meet with Director Wang and ask what exactly happened.

Wang Yizhen in the audience: "..."

He was completely numb by now. The key question was, how did Xu Jinyan know about his existence? Through his cousin?

He turned his head, and Wang Yiming looked over and asked, "Brother, you've been promoted to director? When did that happen?"

Even Sun Dakang addressed me that way, so it must be correct.

Wang Yizhen's face looked like she was constipated as she muttered, "Just now, in a short while."

Wang Yiming: ?

With the awarding of the trophies, this competition has come to a complete and successful conclusion.

Xu Jinyan was even busier after the final than after the semi-final. First, Zhao Ming and Li Aizhou added her on WeChat. As for Lao Sun...

The live stream ended, and he couldn't be bothered to pretend anymore. He left a message saying he had something to do at home and didn't even attend the dinner party that was about to start.

Then, he responded to everyone who came to greet him. They all knew that Xu Jinyan was different now. He had created two high-quality songs in a row, proving that he was not the kind of person who could rely on one song to live on, but that he was able to create completely different styles and stand at the top of the music industry.

The other contestants also arrived. Hua Chenyu's feelings were the most complicated. This person, whom he initially thought was insignificant but later regarded as a rival, seemed to have never taken him seriously, which made him feel somewhat awkward.

Then he saw Tian Xiwei come to say hello. His eyes lit up. As the only contestant among the contestants who only provided him with positive emotions, when the platform recommended "Anhe Bridge", he thought about getting more attention. When everyone was vying for original works in the finals, he chose to play to his strengths and avoid his weaknesses.

Her personality—her positive and optimistic outlook on problems, her courage, determination, and ambition—is truly admirable.

Tian Xiwei came over and congratulated him in a graceful manner: "Xu Jinyan, congratulations on winning the championship."

Xu Jinyan looked at the magnanimous Xiao Tian, ​​and then glanced at her again. Well, magnanimous in every sense of the word.

Xu Jinyan also sincerely said, "Thank you. Actually, your voice is better than mine. I think you can learn from Teacher Nanfeng. Teacher Nanfeng is an actor who excelled in acting and then became a singer. You can choose to excel in singing and then become an actor."

Tian Xiwei said with a smile, "Of course, my major at Folk Art University is acting."

Xu Jinyan: "..."

This is someone who is fed by God.

Seeing Xu Jinyan's expression, Tian Xiwei laughed out loud: "Of course, it's all thanks to you. You've attracted so much attention. I guess I'll debut as a singer first. Thanks, goodbye."

"goodbye."

Meanwhile, among the audience members leaving the hall.

Qin Shuyin looked at her best friend and asked with a smile, "Aren't you going to say hello to your dear brother?"

Xu Yunge glanced at her expressionlessly: "Cousin! My cousin!"

Who could have imagined how utterly devastated she would be when she realized that everyone on the stage was wearing clothes with her name printed on them?

She clearly remembered that Qin Shuyin was trembling uncontrollably beside her. At that moment, only one thing occupied her mind: she had to go to the police station; she didn't want that name anymore!

At this moment, Qin Shuyin said "sincerely" again, "But blood is thicker than water!"

Xu Yunge: "..."

She was using all my words!
