Are you trying to force me to become a star?

Chapter 123 A Flourishing Chinese Music Scene

"You gave me a love I never want to lose touch with for the rest of my life."

"Every message you send is a beat of my heart."

"..."

Tian Xiwei looked at Shan Yichun singing in the audience, her feelings complicated.

She is indeed very much like herself, and on the highly anticipated final stage, she also chose to play to her strengths and avoid her weaknesses.

The song "Never Lost Contact," with its mediocre lyrics and music, was given a soul through her gentle and restrained rendition.

With hundreds of thousands of people watching, Shan Yichun is sure to become famous soon.

As the melody fades, the song ends.

Chang Shilei, a producer from Yunling Media, eagerly raised the microphone: "Although you didn't choose original content, I want to say that I heard infinite possibilities in your voice."

"Your voice has an instrumental quality, and your singing skills are almost flawless."

"The last time I heard someone with such an amazing voice," he turned his head and smiled at Tian Xiwei.

"Clap clap clap clap..."

Everyone applauded, realizing he was referring to Tian Xiwei.

Tian Xiwei smiled and said, "I want to tell you something that Teacher Nanfeng once said to me:"

"Singing is about using technique to hone your voice in order to create captivating melodies, and you've done that."

Shan Yi nodded: "Thank you, senior."

Li Ronghao, a producer from Zhaochen Pictures, commented: "Your voice is a gift from God. I think it will bring countless wonderful things to life..."

"I have a feeling you're about to become famous. Is there anything you want to do? You should do it now."

After a moment of thoughtful contemplation, her eyes darted around, and she murmured, "I really want to be in a relationship!"

Li Ronghao didn't hear clearly: "What?"

Shan Yichun: "I really want to be in a relationship!"

"Hahaha……"

The audience burst into laughter, finding the girl adorable.

Li Ronghao's words actually reflect the thoughts of many people: although a single, unoriginal approach means one is destined not to win the championship...

But this stage is enough for her to break out of the public eye, and I believe many people will be willing to write songs for her.

At least Wang Fan at this moment still harbors resentment about Tian Xiwei.

Especially now that she's doing so well and is on par with him, he really wants to personally mentor this Shan Yichun, at the very least... to help her reach the top tier.

He laughed and said, "Look at what your senior has achieved now, so... you might also consider joining our Canglan."

Chang Shilei quickly interrupted, "Teacher Wang, Teacher Wang, this is a competition, why are you poaching people?"

He looked at Shan Yichun and said, "Little sister, let me tell you something. The pressure in Canglan is immense. Why don't you come to Yunling instead?"

"Ha ha ha ha……"

The two of them actually had a heated argument, just like on "The Voice of China".

Hua Chenyu listened with a smile, but he didn't try to take the person away.

For some reason, he felt that Shan Yichun had just given him a faint sense of being one of his own.

That's so strange!

……

"I wish I could transform into that blue stone that gazes to the ends of the earth."

"Your name is engraved in my heart."

"..."

Ye Xuanqing's performance of "Nine Pieces of Brocade" successfully heightened the suspense of the competition.

That makes sense. You can tell from the changes in the competition format last year that at least one original song will be required this year.

Ambitious ones might even prepare two original songs.

A year is enough time.

However, not everyone is like Xu Jinyan, who can write a masterpiece in a week.

They should be proud if they can produce one representative work within a year.

Just like Lu Ren, now everyone has forgotten the names of his two original songs.

"To make you smile and be brave"

I can't forget your love.

"This ending is hard to change."

"..."

The release of Liang Bo's "Boy" made the outcome of this year's competition completely unpredictable.

Now it all depends on Ma Di. If his song can be as good as "Nanshan Nan", then it's a sure thing.

However, if they were even slightly off, given that the final score accounts for 70% of the total score, they would likely lose.

The result... was as expected.

Just like the complaints he would receive in his later years: after being a singer for more than ten years, he only had one hit song.

However, he has a very good attitude:

Although we lost the championship, we got a house!

The winner of the 2016 "Heavenly Voices, Soulmates" Campus Singer Competition is—

"—Liang Bo! Congratulations, Liang Bo!"

After the competition, the judges and contestants had a meal together.

Chang Shilei took a sip of his drink and sighed, "To be honest, I think young people these days are becoming more and more remarkable."

"So many promising talents have emerged in the last two years!"

Li Ronghao waved his hand: "This year's can still be called seedlings, but last year's have already grown into big trees, and there's even a towering tree among them!"

Chang Shilei nodded with a smile.

Wang Fan, who was listening nearby, stiffened and casually changed the subject:

"Liang Bo's song 'Boy' is really good; he sings rock music with his own unique flavor."

"You're only a junior this year, right? What are your plans for the future?"

Liang Bo: "I plan to pursue a career as an independent musician."

His remarks immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Why?

He explained, "My personality isn't suited to the spotlight; it makes me feel genuinely uncomfortable. I just want to focus on making my own music."

Chang Shilei agreed, saying, "That's rare. Where can you find a pure singer these days?"

Liang Bo smiled and said, "It's not that I won't participate in any activities or variety shows, but music will always be my top priority."

Chang Shilei exclaimed to Li Ronghao, "The Chinese music scene is truly flourishing now!"

Li Ronghao couldn't help but agree: "Yes! Including Shan Yichun, you should cherish your peaceful time in university. You're still young, so you can hone your creative skills slowly."

Yi Danchun: "Creation... will happen naturally."

Hua Chenyu: What does it mean for something to happen naturally?

It's like playing a support role while jungling, but your main is a mage.

—Confusing!

By this time, Ma Di was slightly tipsy. He raised a glass to Liang Bo: "Impressive! You should always strive for improvement. I'm truly convinced you won the championship!"

Liang Bo laughed and said, "Actually, I didn't think I could win this championship. Your performance in the semifinals was so strong, I really thought we were going to see another Xu Jinyan!"

Madi laughed and waved his hand, "Oh, you're flattering me!"

"I wouldn't dare compare myself to Teacher Xu; Teacher Xu is the real deal!"

He lowered his thumb and said, "But first and foremost, we have to be true to ourselves."

Seeing that everyone was paying attention, he slowly sat up straight, his face beginning to relax:

"To be honest, a song like 'Nanshan Nan' could be written in a minute, in less than a week."

"Three days!"

"Nanshan South is so easy to write, so incredibly easy!"

"Why did I stop writing?"

Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!

"Men have pride!"

"Songs are so homogenized these days, what difference would it make if I wrote another song called 'Nanshan Nan'?"

Li Ronghao and Chang Shilei stared at him in shock, then exchanged a glance, both able to see that the other's eyes were wide open.

Li Ronghao: "The Chinese music scene is truly vibrant and diverse!"
