Chapter 82 121 Composers
"Hello everyone, this is the live show of "Interstellar Composer"!
Let’s welcome the composers invited to this episode!
First up is the great composer from the Empire, Master Karl!"
[Ahhh, it’s Master Karl, new songs to listen to!]
[Even though Master Karl is already 150 years old, he is still so handsome.]
[Our movie queen still eats the best.]
[Tsk tsk, it seems this year's champion is unquestionable again.]
…
"The second guest is also an old friend of our program, Mr. Jones!"
Jones is also a great teacher of Empire, and once won the first place in the new song chart for fifteen consecutive months.
The current record in the music industry is held by Master Carl, who has been at the top of the new song charts for eighteen consecutive months.
Of course, this is just the foundation for becoming a great composer.
A new song that tops the charts for twelve consecutive months is the ticket to becoming a great songwriter.
"Next, please..."
…
"The last composer in the empire is our newly promoted diamond-level composer last year, the Finnish master."
[Miss Finland, who has mermaid genes, is truly stunningly beautiful!]
[No one can resist the mermaid beastman with the sound of nature~~]
[Miss Finland, I love you!!!]
Although Finland is 67 years old this year, she still has many suitors.
"Next, please welcome the composer of the Myriad Races and the Mechanical Race..."
Not every race among the myriad races will be invited. Those races that are on the verge of extinction are not even as big as a small planet.
Only powerful races that rank higher have diplomacy.
So not many races were invited.
Moreover, the invited ethnic groups may not necessarily come to the show, and if some do come, there may only be one or two people.
So in the end there were only 103 composers.
"Next, let us invite Mr. Sydney, the diamond-level composer from the Federation!"
That’s right, the two veteran composers of Tianwen Entertainment have not actually been promoted to great composers yet.
Of course, in the Federation, a diamond-level composer is actually an invisible master composer.
They basically all got the ticket to the number one new song list in December.
However, in the end-of-year PK, it was unable to take the top spot for three consecutive times because of the obstruction of the Empire's composers.
Therefore, the composers in the Federation are basically at the diamond level, which is the highest level.
"Composer Anton Ao from the Federation..."
…
At the end, the host paused noticeably, and said in a strange tone, as if doubting his own eyes:
"Finally, let us welcome Ms. Jiang Qin, a bronze-level composer from the Federation!"
What? Did the host pronounce it wrong? Bronze level?
[Oh my god, which company is this Miss Jiang Qin from? Did they give up and send a new person here to get some experience?]
[Okay, okay, does the Federation look down on us? They actually sent a bronze rank.]
[Tianwen is really stubborn. Even with so many people boycotting it, they still haven't changed the person.]
[I'm so angry. I already couldn't hold my head up in front of the Empire, and now I can't hold my head up even more.]
[I have an inexplicable urge to hide my address...]
Amid the surprise of netizens in the Empire and the anger of netizens in the Federation, Jiang Qin came on stage wearing a cheongsam with a white background and blue flowers.
Her hair was spread out behind her like ink-colored silk. A white hairpin with a small pendant was inserted in her tied-up hair.
The earrings are also white jade pendant-shaped, which are particularly eye-catching next to the black hair.
She was wearing a pair of high heels that matched her cheongsam.
The whole person seemed like a woman walking out of an ancient town.
Although the interstellar people don’t know what the women in Jiangnan looked like thousands of years ago, they have seen ancient paintings.
Finally, someone has recreated the costumes from the ancient paintings. In my imagination, cheongsams should look like this: dignified and elegant.
[Which company makes Federal clothes? I want to buy some.]
[Could this bronze composer have gotten a spot by relying on his looks?]
[If it's about appearance, I still agree, a typical oriental beauty~]
[It turns out black hair is also beautiful.]
After introducing these more than one hundred composers, the performances began one by one.
Jiang Qin found it quite scary.
There are 103 composers from the Ten Thousand Races, 9 from the Federation and 9 from the Empire, for a total of 121 composers.
This means everyone has to listen to 121 songs!
Each song is about five minutes long.
However, the songs sung today will be uploaded to StarNet separately, and only the songs in the top 100 in popularity will be finally booked to participate in the program.
Therefore, the songs you choose must be nice and special enough.
Otherwise, it would be difficult to stand out from so many songs, and the judges and audiences would easily get auditory fatigue.
By the end, I probably couldn't hear anything that was being sung.
***
The order of performance tonight is based on the composer's level. If they are at the same level, they will be ranked according to the time of promotion.
So as a bronze-level Jiang Qin, she is undoubtedly the last one.
But she thought this order was okay. With so many people, those in the middle were the least likely to be remembered.
Both the beginning and the end are more memorable.
Everyone sat at their seats. The first person to appear was a veteran singer from the Empire, who sang a song composed by Carl...
It’s still in the Empire style, with sci-fi lyrics and a cool tone with heavier synth sounds.
The whole stage was full of passion.
…
What shocked Jiang Qin the most were the several singers in Empire who had merman genes.
With that voice, singing dolphin notes is effortless.
Fortunately, after the program officially started, the cooperating singers were randomly selected instead of being fixed.
Otherwise, the singers’ abilities alone would give the empire’s composers a 50% advantage.
There are still some flaws though.
Jiang Qin clearly noticed that some songs did not match the singers' voices.
For example, the song "Silence" by the imperial composer Finland is a rather dark song, suitable for a somewhat low and gloomy voice.
But she chose a female mermaid singer whose voice was ethereal and clear.
It is more suitable for the more lively forest-style music.
When the two are combined, the style of the song is not highlighted.
This is a misunderstanding. Most composers will choose singers with good singing skills.
But then again, if you don’t even have singing skills, how can you talk about being suitable?
***
The people on the stage changed one after another.
The songs of the six diamond-level composers from the Federation had already been performed, and only the two gold-level composers were left in line with her.
Finally, after everyone was on stage, the host said:
"The last person to perform was Ms. Jiang Qin, who performed the song "Blue and White Porcelain," which she composed and wrote the lyrics for herself.
Audience friends who like this song can vote for it on the official account in five minutes~"
Jay Chou's Blue and White Porcelain
