Su Yin was a little confused. She couldn't imagine who would knock on her door at this time.
Normally, non-owners are not allowed to enter this community. Even if someone wants to find her for something, the security guard or someone familiar should call her in advance.
Su Yin stood up and walked to the door to look at the display screen. The person standing at the door was Jian Shu.
Why would he suddenly come to see her? Su Yin opened the door while guessing in her heart but couldn't think of any reason.
"I vaguely heard the sound of you coming back just now. I did catch up with you." Jian Shu stood some distance away from the door, and gentlemanly left a certain safe distance between him and Su Yin.
"Thank you for the gift that day. It's also a small token of my appreciation for your housewarming." Jian Shu was holding a few music CDs in his hands.
Everything in this house is old stuff. After receiving the gift from Su Yin that day, Jianshu actually wanted to make a simple return gift on the spot.
It was just a favor, and neighbors should reciprocate. However, I couldn't think of anything readily available to give.
So, on the weekend he went to the largest audio-visual store in City A and bought some music CDs that he had listened to before and liked very much.
I thought that this neighbor was probably a music lover, so I simply chose to recommend to her some niche music that I thought was good.
He had already listened to the entire summary of the disc that Su Yin had given him before, which unexpectedly gave him a surprise!
After listening to it, he went to the Internet to collect relevant information, hoping to learn more about the specific stories and creators.
As a result, I couldn't find any information about this disc online. Based on the cover and some specific song information, I did a quick search for the region.
This is a small city in the south, home to several ethnic minorities. This disc was probably recorded by a local singer who searched for songs handed down from his hometown and songs newly created in modern times.
Although the songs on the entire disc have multiple styles, the overall musical style is fresh, melodious, and full of the fun of life.
The singers of several songs have very unique accents, the melody direction is completely unconventional, and many local instruments unique to the South are used.
I would like to briefly describe how I have traveled to countless places across the country and listened to countless types of music over the years.
But I still feel surprised every time I hear this unique local music and folk music.
The disc was not brand new, but had been opened and played before. However, Jian Shu did not mind. Instead, he developed a slight liking for this neighbor whom he had only met once.
Jianshu was not an ignorant person. He could roughly judge from the neighbors just by looking at them that this working woman who was able to buy a house in this community at such a young age and dressed very elegantly did not look like the kind of person who would be stingy and give away old things from her home.
This gift was probably given by someone who had heard about it from others, or even heard me doing something music-related in my room.
For music lovers, the unpacked packaging is a testament to this. This isn't some random decoration picked up from a street vendor while traveling, gathering dust at home. Rather, it's a genuine sharing of music, a gift of generosity, a gift from the original owner, after their appreciation.
Because I didn't know my neighbor's specific preferences, I bought a lot of discs based on the discs she brought last time and my personal impression of Su Yin, so there are many styles.
Su Yin took the music CDs handed to her by Jian Shu and was also a little surprised.
Since Su Yin wanted to become an idol back then and continued to work in this industry, she naturally has a passion for music.
We come to this world not only to satisfy our own hobbies, but also to better understand the world's music styles, trends and historical evolution to help ourselves adapt to and get used to the world's people's preferences for music.
Su Yin has been buying a lot of music from different styles and periods online and in stores over the years, including classical, folk, popular, rock, and even pop music from various periods.
Su Yin had listened to almost all the music from idol groups that had been released in this world before. She had sorted out a large pile of them when she moved.
The music CD that Su Yin gave to Jian Shu that day was not just a random one, but was carefully selected by her.
Musicians have definitely listened to a lot of music. Don't even think about giving away popular discs. They might also have some collectible music discs, and that would seem too expensive and inappropriate.
Su Yin really put a lot of thought into ensuring that the disc is niche enough while also ensuring its quality and characteristics.
But she didn't expect that after only one transaction, she would receive a return gift from the other party so quickly for the disc she sent.
Although they were all brand new discs, Su Yin was sure Jian Shu had already listened to them. Musicians gave away music-related items that definitely reflected their personal tastes and were not given away casually.
Su Yin happily accepted a few discs and replied cheerfully, "Then I won't be polite. If you don't mind, next time we can exchange some of the music we've recently listened to and liked."
"It's just that I'm busy with work, so I don't have much time to find songs. But when I can find time, I will seriously look for and listen to them."
Speaking of which, apart from work, Su Yin’s biggest hobby is music.
So although her behavior was intended to make friends with the other party, it was indeed out of her own heart.
In Su Yin's view, she is not a child, nor is she someone who simply and romantically regards music as her whole life.
For work or daily interactions with others, she is willing to take the initiative and does not mind using some tricks to make interpersonal relationships more harmonious.
But she also has her own code of conduct. No matter what the purpose is, she will not go against her original character and behavior to disguise a false image.
Su Yin's idea is to quickly bridge the gap between people through the simple sharing of music. She has participated in private gatherings of musicians of different styles and has also seen many live band performances.
At that time, you can invite the other party to participate in these activities or go to see some live performances and exchange activities that the other party likes. I think it will not be too difficult to build a relationship as neighbors and acquaintances.
Even if the purpose in the future is not to invite songs for such a utilitarian purpose, it would be nice to have another friend who is a music lover and connoisseur.
However, she soon heard another piece of news from Jian Shu that temporarily shattered her idea.
He briefly explained that he was a freelance musician who only stayed here for a short time each year. He said it might be months before he saw his neighbor again. That was why he had bothered to bother him today. He would be gone in two days.
If Su Yin is interested in this music after listening to it, I can bring her some more next year.
Su Yin was stunned. She didn't expect that the other party was about to leave before she had the chance to get familiar with him.
But getting to know people and making friends is not something that can be forced.
Su Yin could only hold the discs regretfully, saying that she would listen to them carefully when she got home, and also wished him a happy new year in advance.
As the New Year was drawing to a close, his father and brother began to urge Jianshu to go home early to celebrate the New Year together.
After the Chinese New Year, my usual habit is to travel around the country, stopping to see the local scenery, and understand and experience the local culture and history.
If you find a place you like, stay there for a while. If you think it’s time, move on to another scenery.
Originally, Jianshu was a little worried that his sudden visit might be a bit abrupt, but when he saw Su Yin readily accept the gift he chose without any discomfort, he looked forward to seeing her again next year.
Jianshu also smiled and said, "See you next year."
After closing the door, Su Yin returned to her room, took a shower, and lay down on the bed. She casually picked a music disc from the ones she had just played to listen to before bed. The one she picked happened to be a soothing instrumental music, and she slowly fell asleep to the music.
Before going to bed, a vague thought emerged in Su Yin's mind: People's lives are really different.
I am like a little bee, busy guarding a field of flowers every day, thinking about how to work better and collect nectar every day, and I dare not relax with the fierce sting on my tail showing.
People like Jian Shu are like a dandelion, floating leisurely in the wind, seemingly without any aggressiveness, and they spend every day feeling nature and the wind.
That's fine too. Everyone has their own pursuits. The best life is when everyone can walk on the path they love.
The time to the end of the year is getting closer.
The Spring Festival Gala has reached the sixth rehearsal time, and the song that the Moonlight Youth Group finally decided on is the youth's hymn to the motherland, which has passed all the rehearsals.
As soon as rehearsals began, the Spring Festival Gala director team raised concerns that talented older singers would perform more powerful and majestic songs.
Although Moonlight Boys' first song looks at the rise and fall of countries and nations over a thousand years from a teenager's perspective, the overall atmosphere is still relatively calm and solemn.
The members of Moonlight Youth Group were still young and could not fully express the charm and historical heritage of the song. With the previous song as a good example, this song was rejected by the Spring Festival Gala director team.
It was changed back to another of their alternative songs.
This upbeat anthem of praise for the motherland, with its retro-inspired dance choreography, is a perfect fit for them. It allows them to showcase their dancing abilities, and this upbeat and positive song suits their youthful image, effectively boosting the atmosphere and mood of both the live audience and those watching on TV.
After so many rehearsals, the song has hardly been adjusted much by the Spring Festival Gala team.
Although the Spring Festival Gala hadn't reached its final rehearsal yet, and no one could be sure their program would be a sure-fire entry, the fact that it had made it through six rehearsals relatively smoothly without major adjustments was already a sign of victory.
It’s a pity that the mysterious girl’s program was taken down by the director team during the third rehearsal, and she lost the opportunity to perform on the Spring Festival Gala stage.
The director team ultimately felt that the program itself was of relatively high quality, and it was indeed quite refreshing at first glance.
But the evening also included works by many other professional dancers, including many professional classical dancers.
In comparison, although there are not many dance parts, the mysterious girl does not have a deep foundation in classical dance and sufficient time to polish it.
The director team watched two rehearsals and felt that their performance was superficial, and finally informed them that the show was cancelled.
After receiving the news from the Spring Festival Gala director team, the team that had been helping the mysterious girl rehearse for several months was somewhat frustrated.
The five members of Mysterious Girl were depressed for several days after hearing the director team's evaluation and notification of the results.
Fortunately, the busy work allowed everyone to recover quickly.
Mysterious Girls debuted just this year, and their credentials were a significant drawback. Afterward, many, including Su Yin, reflected on the lack of thorough consideration in the initial song selection. The primary focus was on catering to the Spring Festival Gala's preferences and aiming to stand out among the younger artists. However, this failed to fully leverage the Mysterious Girls' strengths, and instead forced them to focus on areas they weren't particularly skilled at.
If this was just an ordinary performance, there would be no problem in performing it at a normal evening party or on a stage, and it might even receive a lot of praise.
But this is the Spring Festival Gala that brings together the top talents from various industries. The fact that it passed the first two rehearsals already shows the excellence of this program, but it is not surprising that it was not selected in the end.
Meanwhile, major TV stations and platforms had already extended invitations to the two groups for their New Year's Eve and Spring Festival Galas. Strawberry Video, Grape Video, M Station, Red Show TV, Kangle TV, City A TV, Capital TV, and more...
These two are the hottest duo at the moment and no major gala or award ceremony would want to miss them.
"Let's see who won the Bluebell Award for Most Popular Idol Group this year? They are—Moonlight Boys! Well-deserved, let's welcome them to the stage to receive their award!"
"The past two years have seen explosive growth in idol artists and groups. So who will win the Best Idol Artist (Group) award? Let's find out now—Moonlight Boys! They've won this award three times in a row. Congratulations again!"
"We just saw all the candidate combinations on the screen. Now, let me announce the results. The winner of this year's Strawberry Video Annual Ceremony's Best Newcomer Award is—Mysterious Girl!"
"This year's most anticipated idol artists are the Mysterious Girls. Having just debuted this year, they have quickly captured the hearts of millions of fans with their distinctive image, unique style, and powerful skills that make them seem like they're no newcomers. Having won the Most Anticipated Award, we wish them even better results in the years ahead to repay their fans and the public."
"The next award for Most Popular Idol Group at the Hainan Music Festival goes to the Mysterious Girls! They are also the second group in the history of the Hainan Music Festival to win both the Rookie of the Year and Most Popular Award in their debut year! Once again, please welcome the Mysterious Girls to the stage to receive their award!"
On large stages one after another, Moonlight Boys and Mysterious Girls took the stage again and again. Under the spotlight and everyone's gaze, they took away the trophies that belonged to them time and time again.
Holding the honorary trophy engraved with the group's name, they gazed upon the sea of lights created by their fans at the awards ceremony. This year, all the glory and honor in the idol world belonged only to these two groups from Yuexiang Entertainment!
He/she has firmly sat on the throne of male idol groups and female idol groups, and once again pushed the name of Yuexiang Entertainment's star-making dream factory to the peak!
For a moment, countless people turned their attention to these two groups and this idol company.
I don’t know how many boys and girls who also dream of becoming idols have set their goals in their hearts, joined Yuexiang Entertainment Company, and made their successful debut!
As two groups from the same company, the members of Moonlight Boys and Mysterious Girls have similar extremely superior looks, solid singing and dancing skills, tenacity, hard-working attitude, and quite tasteful personality and professional ethics.
However, the two groups' training methods and growth paths are actually completely different. Different experiences and selection criteria also make the two groups have completely different impressions on the outside world.
Accustomed to receiving countless awards since their debut, the members of Moonlight Boys remained appreciative and grateful for every honor, humbly and solemnly approaching the podium. They summarized the group's achievements this year and their outlook for the coming year. They also reaffirmed the promise they made with their fans from their first year: next year, the year after, and the year after that... they would continue to meet on stage with their fans.
The members of Mysterious Girl, who just debuted this year, were not as calm as their predecessors when they accepted so many honors for the first time.
Although most of the time, many people see them as cool and proud girls on stage, in advertisements, and in magazines.
Anyone who knows them well knows that they are incredibly cute in private! Just like their looks give people different impressions, each member has different personalities as well.
Captain Qi Zhi is the oldest and most stable, responsible for most public speaking. Bei Ping'an and Fu Ning don't show much expression, and indeed have a certain icy and cool beauty vibe. Lan Leyi and Yan Yun are pure cute and sweet girls.
Thus, at the first few award ceremonies, this kind of scene played out. When the host called out the name of the mysterious girl as the winner, Qi Zhi, the first person to appear on camera, would immediately smile a proper, official smile; Bei Ping'an and Fu Ning would smile with restrained confidence, their eyes revealing their uncontrollable pride; and Lan Leyi and Yan Yun would be filled with outward excitement and joy.
When they stepped onto the podium for the first and second time, holding the trophy in their own hands, and faced the countless fans holding their light sticks, screaming and shouting their names, Lan Leyi and Yan Yun were completely overwhelmed. All the memories of their trainee days flooded back into their minds, and their eyes turned red in an instant and they began to cry madly.
As they cried, the fans below cheered even louder. But the more the fans shouted their names and wanted to support and comfort them, the more they wanted to cry.
Qi Zhi quickly took the phone. Bei Pingan and Fu Ning each hugged the other and hurried to comfort them, but they also wanted to cry.
Qi Zhi quickly hugged everyone and thanked the company, Sister Yin, the organizers, and the fans into the microphone.
Although Qi Zhi tried her best to lead the other members to shout out their mysterious girlish dominance and momentum, the other members' responses, either loudly or with tears in their voices, were sparse, which instead became a funny and touching hot search the next day.
After winning more awards, the five members were finally able to control their emotions better and show their usual domineering appearance on stage.
The members of Mysterious Girl had not yet realized that the scenes of them crying and laughing on the podium had been recorded by fans, and they would still take them out to reminisce from time to time after many years.
They were so naive, real and cute back then!
The members of Mysterious Girl originally thought that they had already achieved various achievements and honors this year that they could never have imagined in their dreams, and that they could put a perfect end to their first year of debut.
However, the agent suddenly received a message from the company while she was at work, informing her to take the mysterious girl back to the company after finishing her work today, because there was good news!
The manager turned around and made a phone call, then appeared in front of the members again, unable to suppress the endless joy that kept emanating from him.
But when the members asked her what exactly was going on, her manager deliberately kept it a secret, saying it was great news and that they could discuss it in detail when they got back to the company, as it wasn't convenient here.
This was done deliberately to whet their appetite, making the members curious and expectant, which was really unbearable!
What kind of good news is this?
Received a fantastic endorsement? Received an award in advance? Secured great resources? What's going on?
When they finally returned to the company, they were stunned by the good news.
The Spring Festival Gala director team suddenly informed the company that they planned to have the mysterious girl join the chorus of another program.
The original program was planned to feature six artists performing a medley of songs, with three men and three women taking turns performing in pairs, followed by a large chorus.
After only two rehearsals, one of the young male actors was suddenly exposed for having an extramarital affair, and his chance to perform was immediately taken away.
The female singer who originally worked with him was arranged by the director team to another program.
Originally, there was no problem with this program being assigned to these four singers; the songs weren't difficult, and there was still time. However, after two rehearsals, the director's team felt that the performance wasn't particularly good with just four singers, and that the composition wasn't rich enough due to the withdrawal of the two young singers.
Suddenly thinking of the mysterious girls who were eliminated before, someone suggested that we try to let them join the show.
The team immediately notified the mysterious girl to practice the song and record the audio and video. If it was suitable, the mysterious girl would come directly to the rehearsal next time, and the director team would then take a look and make a decision.
Is this another chance to participate in the Spring Festival Gala? The mysterious girls, their agents, and other staff all felt lucky!
It's just a verse from a pop medley, so it's not difficult to master! Put aside all other unimportant activities and work and start practicing.
We still have two more rehearsal opportunities! This opportunity will never come again! We must not let it be shot down this time!
Originally practicing popular singing and dancing styles, the idol group Mysterious Girls, themselves a trendsetter, mastered the song after two days of diligent practice. They even found the original singer's video and learned a short choreography, sending the recorded audio and video to the director's team.
The next day I received a reply from the other party: Come to the next rehearsal and see the live effect.
The director team at the rehearsal site was watching the rehearsal results of the golden song medley program, while discussing whether the program needed to be adjusted, how the mysterious girls performed, and whether they should be kept.
"I feel like they're quite suitable for this show. These two pop songs are meant to attract young audiences. Their image positioning and popularity are very much in line with young people's preferences and can also add highlights to the show."
"Yeah, and seeing five little girls singing and dancing together really looks lively and exciting."
"They seem to be doing well, learning quickly, and integrating well. There's nothing serious wrong with them, so let's just leave it at that."
The director team asked them to come again twice and then confirmed it.
Amidst everyone's anxieties, the Moonlight Boys and the Mysterious Girls managed to carry on until the end.
It was not until the last rehearsal that the company and the two groups finally confirmed: both groups could perform on the Spring Festival Gala!
The only two debuted groups of an idol company will both appear on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala. This has never happened before!
It's been years since an idol group appeared on the Spring Festival Gala stage! This time, Yuexiang directly won two spots!
This isn't just any resource, it's not just any performance opportunity. It's a place countless artists would fight to reach, but might never reach in their entire lives. Its status and national recognition are beyond words. It's also the most watched and grandest annual gala in the entire country, bar none!
Almost all members of the two groups called home to report the good news to their parents as soon as they confirmed the news.
"Mom and Dad! You heard me right! I'm going to be on the Spring Festival Gala!"
"I'm not lying. You'll be watching me on TV this Chinese New Year!"
"Ahhhh, I'm sure I can be on the Spring Festival Gala!"
Looking at the excited members, Su Yin couldn't help but sigh that although there were many ups and downs this year, the gains were even greater!
Next year, I will also lead Yuexiang Entertainment to work harder!
For example, the members of Moonlight Boys have gradually started to reduce their exposure to focus on their studies. The idol market has also settled down a bit, so are some plans ready to be put on the agenda?
