In the afternoon, the Chinese Music Association officially released an important announcement.
"Dear people across the country, musicians, singers, and fans, in accordance with the relevant regulations of the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television, our music association will be conducting a rating and classification of songwriters and singers. Therefore, the global music competition originally scheduled for this year will be postponed indefinitely."
Songwriters and singers will be categorized into the following levels:
I. Singer rankings from highest to lowest are: Godfather, Epic (Overlord), King (Queen), King (Queen) (Internet Giant), Professional Singer, Phenomenon Singer, Newcomer Singer.
II. Lyricists are ranked from highest to lowest as follows: Master, Gold, Silver, Bronze, and Iron.
III. Arrangers are ranked from highest to lowest as follows: Master, Gold, Silver, Bronze, and Iron.
Furthermore, the Grand Slam winner will ultimately be crowned a music legend.
This announcement immediately caused a huge uproar in the Chinese music scene and around the world.
Fan groups of various singers were in an uproar, all wanting their idols to become legends, and began leaving messages under the official association accounts.
"The Chinese Music Association's ranking system is excellent. It allows us to have a clearer understanding of each singer's abilities, rather than judging their strength based on who can hype themselves up, has high popularity, or many fans. It is very fair."
"It should have been like this a long time ago. Foreign music scenes have long had their own ranking system, but the Chinese music scene has always been in chaos. It seems that this global music competition has indirectly promoted the reform of the music scene."
"What do you know? It's all because of the global music competition. Foreign music circles require competitions to be divided into levels, but Chinese music doesn't have that system at all. They can only make do with it on the spot. You'll see, this time the rankings will definitely have a lot of flashy but insubstantial works, and even some that are greatly underestimated."
"Could someone upstairs explain in detail how the rankings are determined?"
"To put it bluntly, it's about newcomers versus newcomers, phenomenal artists versus phenomenal artists, masters versus masters, and the same goes for songwriting and composition. Ultimately, the strength of a music scene is judged based on the number of performances at each level."
"My God, according to you guys, wouldn't my Fengshen be incredibly awesome? He could easily win the Grand Slam!"
"What's with all the fuss upstairs? Do you think the music scene is yours, Chen Feng? Get lost, I bet he won't even make it to the next level."
"I'll block your mother, you idiot."
These comments were quickly drowned out by other comments.
"I wonder if singers like Li Zongsheng, Liu Huan, and Han Hong, who have always been called the 'dominant forces,' can maintain their status. If they can't, things will get really interesting."
"And those superstars, now I can probably get more than half of them to become professional singers."
"That's right. Take Hua Chengyu, for example, who's like a ghost when he sings. Just because he has a lot of fans, he's called a true god in the Chinese music scene. I'm so disgusted."
"Your upstairs mom is dead. My Hua Hua sings so well and is so cute, what right do you have to say anything to him?"
"You actually dared to mention my Hua Hua! You wait, I'll dox you!"
"A bunch of brainless fans who are quick to dox people. I think the person above ...
The comment hadn't even lasted a few seconds when a flood of comments from various fan groups appeared below, all proclaiming their idols had achieved a grand slam.
The names of actors such as Xiao Zhan and Li Yifeng are included.
However, there were significantly more people calling him "Wind God," and even the names of Mao Buyi and Qin Xiaoyue appeared in the comments, indicating a fierce online battle.
Lin Yun was very happy when he saw the news, because his uncle Yang Zhi, the director of the largest Chinese entertainment company, had also been invited by the Chinese Music Association to discuss the singer rating system.
This time, he has to make an unconventional debut and ask his uncle to select a singer for him.
After Zhao Yashuang, who had been distraught, was fully recovered and served Lin Yun well twice, Lin Yun finally agreed to talk to her uncle and ask him to approve her as a new singer.
To this end, she released three songs online overnight with terrible arrangements and lyrics. They were barely listenable, but at least she had some work to show for it.
At this moment, those participating in the singer evaluation include not only well-known entertainment company moguls, but also renowned singers, arrangers, lyricists, and others in the field.
When Yang Zhigang got off the plane and arrived in Beijing, it was a bit cold. He was heavily pregnant and dressed in thick clothes, looking like a ball.
Since Chen Feng rose to power a month ago, he hasn't had a single good night's sleep, but these past few days he's been sleeping very comfortably because he's come up with another way to deal with Chen Feng.
At this moment, he was walking towards an ancient courtyard house in a restricted area of Beijing. Little did he know that a series of conspiracies against him in the music industry were about to unfold.
Seeing Li Qingning's familiarity with the place, he knew that this person had been here many times. When he asked, he learned that she had lived in this compound since she was a child and only went to Chengdu-Chongqing City when she was a teenager.
This also indirectly confirms his guess that Li Qingning's family has a powerful background, possibly even reaching the highest levels.
Upon entering the courtyard house, Chen Feng had expected it to be magnificent and luxurious, but it turned out to be just an ordinary courtyard, except for its size.
After entering the courtyard, Li Qingning, who hadn't said much along the way, began to explain things to Chen Feng non-stop, perhaps because she had returned to the place where she grew up.
"Don't let its ugly appearance fool you, this stone pier was once used by an emperor of a previous dynasty to sit and drink tea. Many of my friends and I used to play on it when we were kids."
"This blue brick is 500 years old. The newly renovated floor tiles outside are all cracked, but this part is still intact."
“Look at those two stone lions. When I was little, I always begged my grandpa to carry me up there.”
As she spoke, her face flushed, and she seemed very excited. Indeed, when people reminisce, they are in a state of excitement, regardless of whether the memories are pleasant or painful.
Chen Feng kept agreeing, looking at the beautiful woman beside him with a smile on his face, but sighing in his heart.
Look at other people, they played with antiques when they were kids, while I could only play with cow dung in the mountains.
After walking for a long time, Chen Feng realized that what looked like a courtyard house on the outside was actually a huge park inside.
"arrive!"
Just as Chen Feng was about to ask Li Qingning how much further it was, she suddenly spoke.
He looked up and saw seven old men with gray hair staring at him, their eyes gleaming green, which was quite unsettling.
Only at the stone table next to him sat an old man holding a book. His gaze was that of someone who had made a mistake, but if you say it was normal, then there was a hint of mockery, no, it was more like he was watching someone make a fool of themselves.
"Lime, what exactly is your mission? Why are these old men staring at me? It's creepy."
Chen Feng whispered in Li Qingning's ear.
But his action almost made Li Qingning go weak. In her whole life, she could never resist a man breathing in her ear, that tingling and numb feeling.
Before Li Qingning could speak, the old man sitting at the stone table immediately became furious, his face turning very ugly.
