Chapter 31
Chunxi was so focused on preparing her song that she almost ignored what was happening outside. This song is a song in which Chunxi expresses her attitude, and she hopes to achieve perfection.
The original version of this song is not difficult to sing, but Chunxi adapted it to make it more difficult. This song was chosen by Chunxi herself because Professor Xu could not always arrange all the competition songs for her. She had to learn by herself what kind of song was most suitable for her and her voice.
After choosing the song to sing, Chunxi called Professor Xu and said, "Professor, I found a very good English song. I changed it a little and can use it for the competition." Professor Xu immediately rejected Chunxi's idea: "Singing English songs is a very risky thing. Contestants who sing English songs will not get high scores. Don't take the risk."
Indeed, there have been contestants who have chosen English songs to participate in the Youth Song Contest. However, perhaps because Chinese people have some deficiencies in their singing voice when singing English songs, none of these contestants who sang English songs have ever received high scores.
Unable to convince Professor Xu over the phone, Chunxi had no choice but to rush to the school and sing for Professor Xu in person in the hope of changing his mind.
As soon as Chunxi saw Professor Xu, she immediately asked to sing the English song for him. After listening to her singing, Professor Xu felt very conflicted. On the one hand, he was worried that she would not be able to break the convention. On the other hand, the English song she adapted was really good, with the technical difficulty that a competition song should have. Chunxi also had a very good grasp of the song. She sang the best of the song and gave Professor Xu hope.
Having taught Chunxi for so many years, Professor Xu certainly knows that Chunxi has always been interested in European and American pop songs. It would be a good idea to let her give it a try and make a breakthrough. If she can get high scores with such an English song that has inherent flaws, it is another way of recognizing her abilities.
The fans waited and clamored, day after day, and finally it was the semi-finals of the Youth Song Contest. Many contestants had been eliminated in the semi-finals. The remaining contestants can be said to be very strong and competitive. For example, Cao Yanyan, who ranked second in the score, is a very strong opponent. When Chunxi was being attacked before, Tong Xiaokai asked his internet army to bring Cao Yanyan into the attack in order to divert attention and make people suspect someone else. This created the illusion that Cao Yanyan was dissatisfied with Fu Chunxi and attacked her, and some people were deceived. At least until now, there are still some fans who don't know the truth and are cursing Cao Yanyan under her Weibo, and they won't listen to anything she says.
But actually, this girl is a pretty nice person. When Chunxi was being attacked, besides Professor Xu, Teacher Wu Bixia and Senior Chang Sisi, the person who came out to support Chunxi the fastest was Cao Yanyan, and she made it very clear that Chunxi was very strong and did not need any unspoken rules to achieve high scores. At that time, some people criticized Cao Yanyan for being corrupt and hypocritical, but Chunxi knew that Cao Yanyan was actually a very straightforward person who didn't like to beat around the bush and was very easy to get along with.
Afterwards, Chunxi released a statement on Weibo, saying that the hacking of her had nothing to do with Cao Yanyan, and asked netizens not to scold Cao Yanyan anymore. Some netizens listened to it, but some were simply keyboard warriors who just wanted to curse others and didn't listen at all.
I heard that Cao Yanyan also prepared a very difficult song to compete with Chunxi in this rematch. Chunxi smiled brightly and said that it is always good to have a challenge.
After drawing lots to arrange the order of performance, Chunxi was quite satisfied. She was ranked fifth, not too far ahead or too far behind. Cao Yanyan was ranked third, which was also not bad.
The first person in the list is an old contestant named Zhang Liangqiao who has participated in the Youth Song Contest six times. She is the oldest among the contestants this time and she is a bit narrow-minded. She can't stand others doing well. Although she doesn't openly oppose or hate them, she always speaks in a sarcastic tone to Cao Yanyan and Chunxi, which makes people feel uncomfortable. Before, when I saw Chunxi and Cao Yanyan chatting and laughing in the dressing room, I sat aside and said, "You two are so good. You become sisters after just meeting each other for a few times." I didn't say anything excessive, but the tone always made people feel that it was weird.
In fact, Zhang Liangqiao dared not say anything now. After all, after Chunxi's family background was exposed, no one in the circle could afford to offend this little ancestor. Didn't you see that even the director was polite and respectful to Chunxi today? In this circle, that is the most realistic thing. If you have power and influence, you are the boss, no matter whether you are famous or not.
Zhang Liangqiao only dared to be dissatisfied in his heart, and he was foolish enough to say it out loud. On the surface, he still had to be very enthusiastic, thinking that if he followed Fu Chunxi, he would have meat to eat.
Chunxi sat in a small room watching the performance of other contestants. Zhang Liangqiao, the first to perform, made Chunxi feel a little disappointed. Logically speaking, she had participated in the Youth Song Competition so many times, so how could she make such a mistake? There was something wrong with Zhang Liangqiao's song selection. She did not distinguish clearly between popular singing and folk singing, and turned a popular singing competition into a folk singing competition. It was difficult, but it was seriously off topic.
Chunxi shook her head and sighed in her heart, fearing that Zhang Liangqiao's plan would be in vain again this time. Sure enough, after Zhang Liangqiao finished singing, the judges gave her low scores. Xiao Chong directly pointed out Zhang Liangqiao's shortcomings. She was too extreme and only focused on the difficulty of the song. She only wanted to suppress others with difficult songs, but did not consider the style of the song and whether it was in line with the topic.
When Zhang Liangqiao came down, his face looked very ugly. Looking at Chunxi, he no longer had the fawning look he had at the beginning. He glared at Chunxi and Cao Yanyan, then went to change his clothes angrily.
Cao Yanyan curled her lips: "I thought she had changed, but I didn't expect that she would still be like this. Who wants to pay attention to her?" She rolled her eyes in a flattering manner, showing a vivid look of disgust. Chunxi couldn't help laughing when she saw her fiery look. Although Cao Yanyan was several years older than Chunxi, Chunxi felt that she was much more childish than herself...
The second place handsome boy from Xinjiang scored much higher. If it weren’t for Chunxi, this boy from Xinjiang would have been the most handsome boy in this Youth Song Contest. After all, the deep facial features of Xinjiang people are quite good-looking. But unfortunately, there is a mixed-race here, and it is a mixed-race that combines all the advantages of China and the West. His deep facial features alone do not give him any fighting power. So there was no one who could fight Chunxi.
It was Cao Yanyan's turn. She sang "Da Jiangnan". This was originally a tenor song, but after Cao Yanyan adapted it, it had more popular elements and sounded very nice and distinctive. Chunxi thought silently in her heart that Cao Yanyan was really very talented and great.
In the UK, although Ronaldo does have a good impression of Real Madrid and Real Madrid is very sincere, his coach does not agree. Manchester United is a team very much like the army. Not only does it have strict discipline, but bullying is also very common. When Cristiano Ronaldo first arrived at Manchester United, he was bullied in various ways. And because Ronaldo plays football very independently, he was bullied even more miserably. He was really beaten and even cried.
C Ronaldo wants to leave Manchester United, and Sir Alex Ferguson understands that, but he does not want his beloved disciple to go to a cannibalistic place like Real Madrid. Real Madrid is a wealthy club, but at the same time it is also ruthless. A large number of stars are bought and sold every year. For players, Real Madrid is a bigger stage and a place where they can realize their dreams, but it is also very cruel. If a player performs poorly, he may be ruthlessly abandoned. Ferguson doesn't want to see his beloved disciple being abandoned. No matter how much contribution you have made to Real Madrid, no one can retire there. This is a cruel but realistic thing.
Ferguson was not interested in Real Madrid's offer and he also wrote a letter to the current Real Madrid president Calderon, asking Real Madrid to stop pursuing Ronaldo. However, Ronaldo himself has made the decision to join Real Madrid. In the summer of 2008, Real Madrid was confident of signing Ronaldo, so Ferguson wanted to involve Barcelona to prevent Ronaldo from joining Real Madrid.
Regarding this transfer, Balague later wrote in a book: "Ferguson flew to Portugal to cut off Madrid's direct offer. This was not only a transfer that attracted worldwide attention, but also involved his authority."
"For several weeks, Ferguson adopted a cunning approach. Because he could not convince Ronaldo to stay, he contacted Barcelona to encourage Barcelona to make an offer. Ferguson even said that any team would do except Real Madrid. However, Ferguson's strategy did not work. Ronaldo had made a decision. He decided to go to Real Madrid."
Afterwards, Ferguson changed his strategy and reached a gentleman's agreement with Ronaldo to continue to retain him. Balague wrote: "Ferguson had reached a gentleman's agreement with him before. He would not let him go this year, but if he performed well in the next 12 months, he would let Ronaldo leave. If he gave the club enough and Real Madrid made a record-breaking offer, he would not stop Ronaldo."
Because he was reluctant to leave his coach and because of his feelings for Manchester United, Ronaldo decided not to leave Manchester United in 2008 after various struggles. Ronaldo finally decided to stay at Manchester United for another year.
But no matter what, some rifts still arose between Ronaldo and Sir Alex Ferguson, and they were no longer as close as father and son as before. Sir Alex Ferguson also began to look for a successor to the No. 7 jersey. Ronaldo felt regretful, sad and aggrieved, but he also knew it was his own fault and he could not blame others.
The days seemed to be the same as before, going to the stadium for training and participating in competitions every day, but in fact, Ronaldo felt empty inside, as if something was hanging in the air and couldn't fall to the ground. Ronaldo thought of his childhood, when he was at home, poor but warm, and... and the angel-like Ivory.
