On Wednesday, the so-called opening ceremony of the 7th "Hundred Flowers Blooming Cup Composition Competition" organized by Puhai Musicians Association in conjunction with many units was held in the auditorium of a high school. It was very lively, with five to six hundred people coming, including dozens of leaders.

He Hongchui is also one of the leaders of the association, and is the vice chairman of the music creation committee under the association. Li Yingzhen is also there, but she is not a leader. Her title is the honorary adviser to the presidium of the Puhai Musicians Association. I don’t know what she does.

There are many celebrities, but there are no stars. Some of these celebrities are singers who are members of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, and some are civil servants and performing artists. Many of them have to go on stage to speak. Zhang Jiahuo, chairman of the Puhai Musicians Association, said with a spring breeze on his face, "Let a hundred flowers let a cup" be a symbol of Vietnam.

The more successful it is, the bigger it gets. This time, there are more than 80 entries collected, and they are in various forms, including songs, operas, dramas, solos, ensembles, etc.

As usual, the contestants are divided into two groups, those under the age of thirty-six and those over the age of thirty-six. Two-thirds of the works in this competition are by young composers under the age of thirty-six, which shows that Puhai and even the motherland are

The music career has many successors and is flourishing.

This competition is at the municipal level, and no one from outside the city participates. Pu Yin sent more than 30 works this time, most of them are from students, and a few are from teachers. The competition stipulates that as long as the works are slightly related to the contestants

No one can be a judge, so professors at the music school have to take the initiative to avoid suspicion.

There are ten judges in total for the competition, all of whom are well-known to those present today. During the period, several of them are musicians associations and similar organizations from other provinces and cities who came to visit.

With so many leaders participating, this competition must be taken seriously. If you want to win the prize, it is best to have something with the main theme. Looking at the previous first place, most of them are songs that sing the beauty of the motherland. These works finally

There are also those who are lucky enough to be sung by great singers in some large-scale evening performances. Moreover, such songs usually have large-scale dance and music soundtracks, and this kind of large-scale production is something that ordinary small stars cannot experience.

In fact, most students at the Conservatory of Music also have this ideal, hoping to join one of the three major ensembles in Puhai after graduation. The so-called three major ensembles are Puhai Symphony Orchestra, Puhai Philharmonic Orchestra, and Puhai Chorus.

Group. If you join these big groups, you will not only get good salary, but also have a lot of free time every year for you to spend. Holding an iron rice bowl is much easier than trying to squeeze into the single-plank bridge insurance in the entertainment industry that thousands of people are grabbing.

In fact, among the singers who become stars, very few of them were born in professional schools. People with academic qualifications from music conservatories are really not willing to endure the hardship or lose themselves. If they end up just hanging out

It feels quite boring to be in the second or third tier, waiting for old classmates to meet, and others will look surprised: "Oh, I am a star."

Qi Qingnuo sat with Yang Jingxing in the back row of the auditorium. They were not interested in what was said on stage at all. The two kept whispering until Ding Sangpeng, an older generation composer artist who also came out of Puyin, dragged his eighty-year-old body.

After walking up to the microphone and delivering a speech, they had to prick up their ears and listen.

This is the second time Qi Qingnuo has participated in this competition. The last time he submitted a popular song, he did not win the prize. This time he presented an ensemble sketch "The Clouds Clear and the Mist Disperses", which also focused on participation. Take a look at the judges' comments

Depending on their age group and position, their taste must be much higher.

Qi Qingnuo said in a low voice: "For example, they are in the official career, and we are in business. We cannot work together as if we are separated by mountains."

Yang Jingxing smiled: "Let's understand the policy direction."

The opening ceremony is finally over, and the next step is to present the works. The Puhai Symphony Orchestra is responsible for playing the instrumental works, and the youth group of the Puhai Chorus is responsible for singing the vocal works. The contestants are not allowed to perform and sing by themselves. I don’t know why.

For what consideration.

It takes two days to perform and sing all the works. The works of Yang Jingxing and Qi Qingnuo are all performed on Friday afternoon, but as contestants, they must support the whole process.

I listened to songs all morning, some with recorded accompaniment, some a cappella, some with live piano accompaniment. Some are popular, some are popular, some are bel canto...a popular song written by Qi Qingnuo's classmate

The melody is not bad, but the sharp and high-pitched emphasis used by the singer seems inappropriate.

The composer was sitting next to Qi Qingnuo, with a depressed look on his face: "I told her hundreds of times not to sing like this!"

Xu Xuesi, who was next to Yang Jingxing, said: "She thought she was here to participate in the singing competition." Xu Xuesi wrote a piano piece to participate in the competition. Yang Jingxing had heard it before, and it was a decent one, with a simple melody and ordinary chords. It was not unpleasant, but it was also

no point.

After the morning's content was over, Yang Jingxing, Qi Qingnuo and their group looked for a place to have lunch together, and finally chose fast food, noodles, fried rice or something.

Three freshmen and four juniors. In addition to Yang Jingxing and Xu Xuesi, the freshmen also have the Puhai girl Luo Jiaqian, who wrote the song this time. The juniors include Qi Qingnuo, a girl, and the other three boys.

Pulling her to the same table was like drawing a clear line with the freshmen.

We have been taking classes together for several months, and although we haven't spoken much, we are already familiar with each other. Luo Jiaqian also knew about Yang Jingxing's 402, and said she wanted to go and see it anytime, and Yang Jingxing expressed her welcome.

Luo Jiaqian asked again: "Have you written a song for Duan Liying?"

Yang Jingxing nodded: "Who did you listen to?"

Luo Jiaqian said: "Just pass it on. If you have the chance, please recommend it to us."

Yang Jingxing said: "I am also helped by others. If there is a song, I can help to present it to Gan Kaicheng. Actually, I am not familiar with it."

After everyone started eating, Qi Qingnuo knocked on Yang Jingxing's back, turned around with her small steamer, and said, "Split it between you, I won't be able to finish it."

Yang Jingxing asked: "Are you losing weight?"

Qi Qingnuo frowned: "I still have noodles."

Yang Jingxing put two steamed dumplings into his bowl.

Luo Jiaqian asked Yang Jingxing: "Will your girlfriend come tomorrow? They say she is very beautiful."

Yang Jingxing said: "I like this rumor."

"how?"

Yang Jingxing said: "I don't have a girlfriend yet."

Luo Jiaqian didn't ask whether it was true or not, and said, "Just choose one."

Yang Jingxing didn't understand: "Where to choose?"

"Just choose whatever you want."

Yang Jingxing asked Xu Xuesi: "Is there such a good thing?"

Xu Xuesi: "It won't be my turn."

Later, Qi Qingnuo’s classmates said to her: “You really should choose one.”

Qi Qingnuo sneered: "I try to do good things, but it's not your turn."

The guy didn't take it seriously and laughed: "Forget it, let's go find my sister who is a freshman."

Xu Xuesi said enthusiastically: "No, there are only a few of us."

The other party was very generous: "Let's exchange it and give this to you."

Xu Xuesi could only see Qi Qingnuo's back and didn't know what to say.

After a while, Qi Qingnuo turned around and said, "What? Do you think you're at a loss?"

Xu Xuesi was a little embarrassed: "No... how dare you."

Yang Jingxing pointed to Xu Xuesi and Qi Qingnuo and said, "If you switch, we will make a profit."

A group of people laughed contemptuously, and Qi Qingnuo asked: "Luo Jiaqian, who do you choose between me and him?"

Luo Jiaqian was helpless: "You."

Qi Qingnuo despised Yang Jingxing: "It's still not your turn."

I continued listening to songs in the afternoon, focusing on the works of contestants over thirty-six years old. Some of the songs received warm applause because of the name or origin of the composer. In fact, of course real people will not come to participate in this kind of competition, with a group of juniors and juniors.

Competing for tens of thousands of yuan in prize money and unnecessary fame, it is difficult to produce any exciting works.

They disbanded at five o'clock, and several people went to take the subway home or back to school together. Qi Qingnuo held the handrail and stood next to Yang Jingxing, swaying gently along the rails, and asked: "Will you call Yu Xinting for dinner later?"

Yang Jingxing guessed: "She must have eaten it when we got home."

Qi Qingnuo called Yu Xinting and decided on her own: "Let's go to Fu Feirong's place, I'm hungry too... Of course he invited me, we are both very poor... It will take half an hour, you wait for us...

…up to you."

On the way, Qi Qingnuo discussed professional issues with Yang Jingxing. She also said that Yang Jingxing should write love songs. In the current music market, love songs are king.

Yang Jingxing said: "If you don't have experience in life, you won't be able to write well."

Qi Qingnuo lamented: "I have never eaten pork and never seen pigs running away. It's a pity that we have so many beauties."

Yu Xinting and An Xin were already waiting in the parking lot. Yu Xinting said she wanted to call Fu Feirong, but Yang Jingxing said no. After arriving at Fu's house for a barbecue, the landlady welcomed her grandly, and even the boss who was busy came out to say hello. Fu Feirong was here,

And she is helping, but she will leave for Glory later.

Yang Jingxing asked: "Have you eaten? Let's eat together."

Fu Feirong said she had already eaten.

Qi Qingnuo discovered it: "I'm hiring someone."

Fu Feirong nodded: "I'm really too busy... I'll order food for you."

Of course Yu Xinting wanted to eat grilled fish. When the proprietress heard this, she asked the new waiter to fish it out, and said: "Choose a big one, no need to weigh it."

Yang Jingxing said: "No, I have to weigh myself!"

The landlady sincerely wanted to treat the guests, but it seemed that Yang Jingxing was not pretending to refuse. The landlady became anxious and said, "Panpan is inviting you, not us."

Fu Feirong nodded: "Well, I should invite you."

Yang Jingxing said, "If you invite them, can I take advantage of it?"

The landlady said: "They are all the same, what else do you want?"

Yang Jingxing said to Yu Xinting and the others, "Thank you in advance."

Qi Qingnuo condemned: "Can you please stop confusing your logic!"

Yu Xinting also said: "Thank you Panpan."

Fu Feirong was a little embarrassed: "No need...it should be."

Yang Jingxing said to Fei Rong: "I don't have time in the next few days, and I can't write the lyrics. Why don't we meet tonight and come back early, at half past twelve, okay?"
