The Three Kingdoms Music Exchange was originally organized by China and Japan.
Later, South Korea also applied to join.
As a great nation, China is unlikely to refuse someone's application.
In fact, they both knew what their two countries were planning.
It's just that, throughout Asia, artists from Japan and South Korea are more famous.
For example, boy groups and girl groups from South Korea, and anime singers from Japan.
Many Chinese singers and actors have appeared on the international stage, but the difficulty of understanding the Chinese language means that it is not as popular as English songs abroad.
Or perhaps it's more accurate to say that songs with simple, monotonous melodies are popular in countries like South Korea and Japan.
The exchange meeting has been held for several years now.
Although it's called an exchange meeting, everyone secretly works hard to outdo the other.
Unfortunately, China has indeed produced few outstanding pieces or songs in recent years.
They couldn't even match the other side in terms of momentum; they were completely outmatched.
This year, the rules have been changed, and the competition is now all-encompassing.
The performances range from songs and folk instruments to a variety of folk instruments from different countries combined with singers performing songs.
This naturally includes a competition between traditional Chinese musical instruments and Western musical instruments.
Of course, this exchange meeting is not mandatory; registration is voluntary.
At the beginning, there were some established singers in the entertainment industry who signed up, but after several times...
With all the top fighters from South Korea and Japan on the field, they were utterly defeated.
In the years that followed, those first- and second-tier singers in the entertainment industry never appeared again.
It relies entirely on some third-, fourth-, fifth-, and sixth-tier singers, or older generation artists, to maintain its reputation.
Yuan Yi's registration immediately shocked the Ministry of Culture, the organizer of the exchange meeting.
It's worth noting that Yuan Yi's momentum has been incredibly strong lately, as long as Shenzhou-15 hasn't returned and landed.
The popularity of "The Song of Breaking the Enemy's Formation in the Moon Palace" will increase day by day.
Because everyone can receive news from CCTV-1 as soon as they turn on the TV.
The news naturally mentioned Shenzhou-15, and of course, it included that stirring piece of music.
So the organizers got excited the moment they heard Yuan Yi's name.
The most popular person right now is coming to their music exchange event, and this guy even has the guts to sing "Chop the Japanese with a Big Sword" on Japanese soil.
They need patriotic, talented, and capable composers and singers like this.

In Beijing, Yuan Yi walked out of the airport.
This time, he did not alert Su Ya.
Just after I stepped out of the airport terminal, I saw a young man holding up a sign with the words "Yuan Yi" in large characters.
"Hello, I'm Yuan Yi!" Yuan Yi said as he walked over to the young man.
"Hello, Ms. Yuan, I am a staff member of the music exchange meeting. My supervisor sent me to pick you up."
You can call me Xiao Liu! Or Liu Qing, either is fine!
"The car is outside, I'll help you with your luggage!"
Liu Qing took the suitcase from Yuan Yi and dragged it out.
"Professor Yuan Yi, there might be some changes to this exchange meeting!"
After Yuan Yi got into the car, he heard Liu Qing, a staff member of the music exchange meeting, talking.
"???"
Yuan Yi looked up at Liu Qing.
"What's the meaning?"
"Don't worry, Professor Yuan Yi, please don't rush."
"That's right, at the request of Japan and South Korea."
"In addition to sending artists from the singing industry for exchanges, this event will also increase exchanges among university students."
"This time, Sakura and South Korea will bring music students from several universities in their countries to have another exchange with music students from our country."
Upon hearing this, Yuan Yi understood that the Japanese and Koreans were no longer satisfied with just attacking China's singing industry; they had now set their sights on universities.
"What are the rules of the exchange meeting?"
"The rules of the exchange meeting remain unchanged."
"It increases communication among university students!"
Yuan Yi scoffed, calling it "exchange" in a nice way.
To put it bluntly, they're coming here just to sabotage your business.
They're just here to bully you.
"Does this group of university students have a winning hand?"
Upon hearing Yuan Yi's words, Liu Qing felt embarrassed.
"If it's a competition of traditional musical instruments, to be honest, it's a bit mysterious. You might not know that these days, in several universities..."
"Few people learn traditional musical instruments, and even those who do are not particularly skilled."
"Compared to Western musical instruments, our own traditional musical instruments have indeed declined!"
After Liu Qing finished speaking, a look of dejection appeared on his face.
Yuan Yi also understood that this world was far worse than his previous life.
Although traditional ethnic musical instruments are no longer as glorious as they once were, there are still people who persist in their use.
However, traditional musical instruments in this world are almost completely disappearing from the stage of history.
It's only in some rural areas that you might still see it at funerals.
Although there is still a subject called "ethnic musical instruments" in universities today, there are only a handful of students.
Moreover, most of them are just learning part-time, not professionally, and are learning traditional musical instruments.
