"Director, is Zhaixing Zhaoyang?"
Huang Weizhou still couldn't be sure.
"Isn't this obvious?" Song Yuqin sat down at the computer desk in the adjacent office area and opened Feibo.
Sure enough, I saw a headline about Qu Shen's comments on Xiaochou among the top three trending topics.
And it has already climbed to second place on the trending topics list.
#Mr. Zhong Li, who oversees the Nason Group, actually personally commented on a new artist's new song "Eliminating Sorrow"#
Upon opening it, a large collection of lyrics and music demonstrating skillful composition are displayed, making them extremely valuable and impressive to industry professionals.
Last night, an old friend recommended I listen to a song called "Sorrow," and out of curiosity, I listened. It turned out to be a very satisfying surprise.
"This song, 'Sorrow,' is considered a standout classic masterpiece in the Chinese music scene, a profound work that combines popularity, mass appeal, and high quality."
'Songwriter Zhaixing uses eight glasses of wine to reveal to us the four major stages of society and life.'
"Each glass of wine, stronger than the last, paired with the gently flowing lyrics, instantly fills the void of all the sorrows of our lives."
'This is a song unlike those folk ballads; although it doesn't contain any high notes, it still possesses a grand and majestic artistic beauty.'
"The reflections on life after the clinking of glasses, from toasting the sunrise to the moonlight, to the hometown to the distant horizon, to tomorrow and the past, finally concluding with freedom and death, each cup more powerful than the last, striking straight to the heart."
"Its biggest highlight is probably...whether you're an office worker, a stranger in your hometown, have a large or small family, or yearn for freedom, the lyrics will reflect your own experiences, resonate with you, and be rich in content, with every line striking a chord deep within your heart."
"The layman sees the spectacle, the expert sees the essence. The audience will only think that Lin Xianguang, this new singer, sang very well, and his voice is easy to remember. But what's truly terrifying about this song is that it's not picky about who sings it. Any male singer with a steady, gentle, and powerful voice could easily pull it off."
"I've studied ci poetry for twenty years. Zhaixing's 'Sorrow' expresses an urgent desire to sit with him/her and chat about music all night. What exactly did Zhaixing experience to be able to write such brilliant lyrics about the four stages of life in the form of eight cups of wine?"
It received over five million likes, over one million shares, and over 100 million views.
Mr. Zhongli is a highly respected figure in the industry.
Looking across the entire Dragon Kingdom, those who can sit in the honorary position of the God of Music can be counted on one hand.
The fact that such an elderly gentleman personally commented on it speaks volumes about the merits of Xiaochou.
"Eliminating Sorrow" and "Reaching for the Stars" will also be this year's dark horse!
"Holy crap...it really is Grandpa Zhongli's official website account, my god!" Huang Weizhou's eyes widened like saucers: "Zhaoyang, is...Zhaixing?"
"No way..." Chen Zu'an, holding a cup of goji berry tea, was shocked: "Even if you have a burst of inspiration, you wouldn't exaggerate to the point of writing a work like 'Sorrow Relief', would you?"
These top-notch songwriters should ask themselves honestly: even if they had a burst of inspiration, it would be difficult to create works of this quality.
It's certainly possible to create something, since I have inspiration, but I can't do it like Zhaixing... Zhaoyang, where even the details are handled so well.
The concluding paragraph runs throughout the entire text: "The most absurd people are those who are sober."
"Zhaoyang, why not use this song to chart in August?" Chen Wanting finally asked the question that had been bothering her. "If we chart in August, with the quality of 'Xiaochou,' unless a top-tier song artist comes along to help, it's a sure thing to take the top spot. That way, the director will also..."
Wan Ting didn't finish what she was saying.
Chen Zuan, Huang Weizhou, and Zhang Zhuowen, these three top-notch lyricists and composers, all share the same idea as Wan Ting.
It's almost the end of the month now, so posting it for ranking purposes would be a bad idea.
"If I don't win the championship in July, I'll bring it back to the director before the end of the year," Li Zhaoyang blurted out, whether he meant to show off or not.
In the eyes of his colleagues, it was a bit of an overstatement.
The group exchanged glances, forcing smiles to avoid creating an awkward atmosphere.
"Zhaoyang, there's no need to say such things to curry favor with the director." Chen Wanting interrupted her in time. Zhaoyang was already very capable to be able to write a piece like "Sorrow Relief".
This at least proves that the other party has a high starting point. Even if they can't write songs that surpass or even rival Xiaochou in the future, Zhaoyang's songwriting skills won't be too bad.
After the awkward atmosphere was broken, Song Yuqin told everyone else to get back to work and then called Li Zhaoyang to her office alone.
"Zhaoyang, I have filled out the application form for you. Your honorary title of 'trainee' lyricist and composer should be issued within 3 working days."
Whether it's the title of lyricist/composer or the honorary titles of King/Queen of Singers, they are all uniformly issued by the Chinese Music Writers Association.
"What are the standards for these songwriters and composers?" Li Zhaoyang asked.
"The standard for an apprentice is to have one paid work published under your name that has been viewed more than 100,000 times."
"The bronze medal is for two songs that have surpassed 300,000 views."
"Five silver medals, over 500,000 views"
"Top Ten Songs with Over 1 Million Views"
"With 20 hit songs and over 5 million views, most people who can reach the top are already approaching 40, while those with better talent are just approaching 30. These songwriters can maintain a certain level of creative quality and standard even if they have an off day."
Li Zhaoyang had always known about the honorary titles for songwriters and composers, but he never imagined that the conditions for obtaining these titles were so stringent.
"Where is the God of Music?"
"Qu Shen?"
Song Yuqin was about to say that whether or not she knew the criteria for the title of "God of Music" was meaningless to her, but after thinking for a while, she still replied: "There are many ways to get the title of 'God of Music,' and each one is extremely difficult."
The first requirement announced by the Chinese music scene is to achieve a grand slam on the Silver Chart, which means winning the top spot on the charts for twelve consecutive months in a year, requiring a total of 12 songs.
Article 2: Four champions of the four Golden List seasons, each Golden List season lasts three months, and four champions are required;
Article 3: Take the top spot on our Chinese music chart;
The top spot on the Golden Melody Chart has been removed; now only the Gold Chart and Silver Chart remain, which is beyond the reach of ordinary people.
In the entire Chinese music scene, there are no more than a handful of true "Gods of Song," their talent is extremely high. They are called "Gods" because they stand out from countless hit songs and deserve the title.
After saying that, Song Yuqin changed her tone:
"Zhaoyang, there's no need to think about this. Very few people can reach the position of the God of Music on this path. It would be remarkable if you could become an ace in the future. For you at this stage, the most important thing is to be steady and not arrogant or impatient."
Although you've produced a masterpiece, the director hopes you won't take too big a step, as it might lead to trouble... well, anyway, just adjust your mindset.
"Yes, I will follow the director's instructions."
"Then you can go ahead and get busy."
