The next few days.
All major media outlets reported the news that Xianyu became Qu's father.
Lin Yuan kept shuttling between various dinner parties.
When good things happen, you should treat people to a meal or give out red envelopes.
This seems to be a glorious tradition of Blue Star.
And a good thing like becoming Qu's father cannot be avoided through personal connections.
Lin Yuan was not opposed to this, otherwise he would not have agreed to them one by one.
This day.
Lin Yuan finally arrived at his last dinner party.
A gathering between Qu's fathers.
The invitation was issued by Zheng Jing and Yang Zhongming.
The meeting place was the club where Lin Yuan and Lu Sheng met last time.
The name of the club is "Juxian".
Obviously.
This Juxian Club is a gathering place for some familiar Qu fathers.
"You can come and play when you have nothing to do. Our chairman is one of the shareholders of this club, and the other shareholders are the owners of several large entertainment companies on Blue Star. Therefore, all the facilities here are provided to Father Qu for free. Without Father Qu's guidance, ordinary people cannot enter here, no matter how rich you are. Father Qu's identity is the only pass here."
Zheng Jing introduced him to Lin Yuan with a smile.
Lin Yuan looked around curiously.
He did not observe carefully the last time he came here, but now he found that the decoration of this club is very luxurious and restrained, and it is completely built with music as the theme. Along the corridor, there are various musical instruments placed in different rooms, as well as top-level audio equipment, etc. Every item seems to be very expensive. In addition, some food and drinks are also high-end ingredients. It seems that you can take them at will, or ask the waiter for help.
"How does the club make money?"
Lin Yuan's question made Zheng Jing burst into laughter:
"This is a special place for a group of Qu Dads to gather. This resource is already worth a fortune. Besides Qu Dad, some people who need to cooperate with Qu Dad will occasionally come in through related channels. They have to pay money every time they come here. After all, maybe they can negotiate a big cooperation here. Not to mention that the bosses of the companies where these Qu Dads work are shareholders here, such as our chairman's shares. Do you think the chairman will accept your money?"
"I see."
Dad Qu has his own world.
It was not until Lin Yuan officially became Qu's father that Zheng Jing and Yang Zhongming were able to bring Lin Yuan into this circle.
This is normal.
People at different levels have different circles. Some communications can only be carried out between people in the same field and at the same level, otherwise it would be like talking to a deaf person.
"This also applies to Zhongzhou."
Zheng Jing smiled and said, "Every place has its own circle. This club is the exclusive circle of Qinzhou Qu Dad. Qu Dads from other continents also have their own gathering places. Now I will take you in. Many people are looking forward to your joining."
As he spoke, Zheng Jing pushed open a door.
Lin Yuan entered and immediately saw several familiar faces.
Yin Dong.
Ye Zhiqiu.
And there is Lu Sheng.
In addition, there are some other Qu Dads who have interacted with each other on the variety show "Our Song".
"Xianyu, welcome."
A Qu Dad said with a smile.
"Hello."
Lin Yuan knew this person, Qu Die An Xin. He had met him once on the leaderboard in a previous season.
The other Qu Dads also showed friendly smiles, and from the moment Lin Yuan walked in, everyone looked at him at the same time.
"Envy the fish!"
Lu Sheng was not shy. When he saw Lin Yuan, he stood up and said with a smile, "Congratulations on becoming Qu's father. Don't feel constrained here. There are no special rules. Just sit down, eat and chat."
Lin Yuan nodded in astonishment.
The room is very big, with different tables and sofas, and people are chatting together in groups of three or four.
This was completely different from the previous dinners he had attended.
"Sit anywhere."
Lu Sheng led Lin Yuan to sit at a table.
Zheng Jing and Yang Zhongming also sat with Lin Yuan.
A man named Qu Dad at this table was listening to music with headphones on. When he saw them, he took off his headphones and said with a smile:
"Hello, Xianyu, I'm Chen Hexuan, we've dealt with each other before."
"Hello."
Lin Yuan found that he had dealt with many Qu Dads, most of which were battles on the season leaderboard.
"Still fiddling with your crappy headphones."
Lu Sheng said with a smile, obviously he was very familiar with Chen Hexuan.
Chen Hexuan curled his lips and said, "If you pay me, you have to do the job. This headset is pretty good. I'll give it to you when it goes on sale."
"Chen Hexuan's ears are the best among all the Qu dads."
Seeing that Lin Yuan was a little curious, Yang Zhongming explained, "We asked him to review this new headset developed by Niai Technology and give us some suggestions so that the technical department can make improvements."
“That’s amazing.”
Lin Yuan was surprised, "Can Father Qu make this kind of extra money?"
"I'm not as good as you."
Chen Hexuan smiled and said to Lu Sheng, "Help me listen to it too. Is the bass part of this male voice a little off?"
"Um."
Lu Sheng put on headphones and listened for a while, then started communicating with Chen Hexuan.
"There's no dinner party. It's just that simple here. Everyone helps each other."
Seeing that Lin Yuan was still curious, Yang Zhongming continued to explain, "For example, at the table in the south, Yin Dong is discussing his new song with Ye Zhiqiu and others, asking for some opinions; for example, in the north, Liu Rumei is asking someone to write a song for her niece. After all, Father Qu may not be good at all styles..."
“To put it bluntly, this is a mutual aid association.”
Zheng Jing said, "Here you can see some companies' cooperation intentions. The remuneration is not low. The purpose is to ask the song father sitting here to help write songs. It's on the big screen on the wall behind you."
Lin Yuan turned around and saw that it was true.
It was written on the big screen that Qu Dad would be asked to write a new song specifically for a certain singer from a certain company for such and such a sum of money.
There is also a game company that is looking for Qu Dad to contract the background music for the game.
There are also many customized songs related to other continents.
Even some advertising companies have collected advertising music here.
Zheng Jing said: "If you are interested in cooperation, you can continue. Just tell the waiter and they will contact Party A to contact our company."
Lin Yuan understood.
Lu Sheng seemed to have finished communicating with Chen Hexuan, and looked at Lin Yuan and said, "There is one more thing. Anyone who wants to release a new song here will be notified in advance, except for the Battle of the Gods. This way, everyone can stagger each other to avoid too fierce competition among the song fathers. However, this is only limited to the song fathers in Qinzhou. We don't need to communicate in advance for other continents. We can just roll up our sleeves and get to work."
Lin Yuan: “…”
No wonder there are only a limited number of song dads releasing songs every season.
It turns out that most of them were agreed upon in advance between the Qu fathers of each continent.
"That's right."
Yang Zhongming suddenly added, "It has been confirmed that there will be composers from Zhongzhou trying to snipe at the Battle of the Gods at the end of the year. There will be two of them. One should be pop music and the other piano music. It is not easy for piano music to reach the top. It should be a professional reputation route. Your biggest competitor on the season list is still pop music."
"two?"
Lu Sheng was stunned for a moment, then curled his lips and said, "How cruel! To stop Xianyu from winning the 12th consecutive championship, they directly sent out two people?"
"Xianyu is too popular this time."
Yang Zhongming said: "If he hadn't become the youngest Qu Dad on Blue Star after winning eleven consecutive championships, they should have only sent out one person."
“It’s no different from a human being.”
Zheng Jing said to Lin Yuan, "I know the one in charge of piano music. He plays classical piano. It's hard for this style to top the seasonal charts. He's doing this to win you over in terms of reputation in the industry. After all, the threshold for appreciating classical piano is too high. But it doesn't matter if you lose reputation, as long as you get the ranking. But you have to be more careful with the other one. Ito Makoto, the father of Chuzhou's top music, hasn't been back to his hometown for a long time since he entered Zhongzhou fifteen years ago. This return must be for you."
"Um."
Lin Yuan nodded, thoughtfully.
A pop song or a classical piano piece
Lu Sheng next to him suddenly laughed and said, "They are still careless. Ito Makoto's level of writing pop songs is far inferior to his level of playing instrumental music. They must think that you have no trump cards in your hand, so they put out this lineup that they think is safe. If you can come up with another song that is not inferior to "Blue and White Porcelain", this wave will not be difficult to deal with, provided that you bet on the last trump card accurately."
“Not inferior to Blue and White Porcelain?”
Lin Yuan thought about it, does "Nocturne" count
Different people will have different answers, but what is certain is that these two songs are both ranked among the top tier of Jay Chou’s representative works. It was no joke when he went on stage to receive the award as soon as "Nocturne" sounded. This is the song that has won the most awards of all kinds among all of Jay Chou’s songs, no doubt about it.
As for classical piano music...
How about adding a Chopin Nocturne
The combination of these two is not just one plus one equals two.
————
ps: The tactics of War of the Gods is Nocturne plus Nocturne. In fact, some people have guessed it. Among all Zhou’s works, this is my favorite. It’s a pity that it was not written in the previous books. As for symphony and the like, you can only play it after you get Middle-earth. It’s a bit early to release it now. Please vote for me!
