Chapter 43 Best Singer-Songwriter
July th.

Early in the morning, he got into Lin Fei's nanny car and rushed to the airport together.

From the capital city of Jingcheng, rush to the magic city of Huazhou.

In the adult world, work is an eternal theme.

We only get together to relax occasionally.

Just like last night, Hu Wei, who was shouting that he wanted to drink more, only drank half a bottle of red wine in the end.

Even less than what I drank at Yan Yu's place before.

It was not easy to get out of the bar, and he cherished this opportunity more than anyone else.

And there are two more announcements to run today.

Although he was a little depressed about his ex-girlfriend's marriage, it is a thing of the past after all.

He also received a message during the dinner, in which a classmate told him about an incident that happened at Zhang Qian's wedding.

I even secretly took a photo and sent it to him.

Zhang Qian was wearing a bright red Xiuhe dress and had an obviously unnatural smile on her face.

After watching it, he first laughed, then shook his head and turned off his phone.

He drank with everyone with a normal expression.

Just drank more restrainedly.

Kong Xi only had half a glass of red wine, but she wanted to drink more.

But I still have work today.

Except for Sister Yan who didn't drink enough and regretted not being able to get Song drunk at his home, everyone else had work to do.

Including Kang Peng.

He has joined the company run by his mother and plans to take over officially after an internship for a period of time.

……

In the car.

Song Dao half-lay in a comfortable chair and asked, "Sister Fei, do you know the specific rules of the show?"

Lin Fei beside him shook his head: "I only know the general idea. I will have to listen to the director for details after I get there. However, there will definitely not be that kind of intense and fierce competition on the spot. When I go back to sign the contract, if there are any problems, I will correct them, don't worry."

Song Dao nodded, wondering in his heart when it would be appropriate to give the two songs that came out of the golden treasure chest to Lin Fei.

If this show can keep her popularity rising, then let Xiangsi continue to be popular for a while.

People like Hu Wei and Kong Xi who need background can come out quickly.

Lin Fei is just the opposite.

What she needs more is rhythm.

The traffic in Beijing is very congested, but it is okay in the morning. After driving for more than 40 minutes, we arrived at the Capital Airport.

With the help of their assistant, the two exchanged their boarding passes, checked their luggage, passed security through the VIP channel, and entered the lounge to wait for the flight.

Song rarely took a plane in his past and present lives.

I'm somewhat afraid of flying.

The original owner in my memory was even more afraid of flying.

I get nervous when I hear the word "airplane".

When it was time to board the plane, they were the last ones to get on.

Still fully armed.

Pull down the brim of your hat and wear a mask.

Even so, Lin Fei was still recognized by a few people.

Fortunately, everyone was busy boarding the plane. They just looked at it in surprise and were a little excited, but did not do anything excessive.

This is a medium-sized passenger plane, and there are two people sitting next to each other in the first row.

Seeing that Song Dao seemed a little nervous, Lin Fei smiled and asked in a low voice: "You are not afraid of heights, are you?"

Song Dao said: "I am afraid of flying..."

Lin Fei was a little speechless. She gently patted his arm on the middle armrest and said softly, "Don't be afraid. It's okay. If anything happens, we'll be together."

Song Dao: “…”

You are very good at comforting people.

……

"Welcome everyone to the Best Singer-Songwriter Program. Let me introduce myself first. My name is Zhu Shao, and I am the chief director and producer of this program. Now I will introduce the participating guests of this program..."

A middle-aged man in his early forties with a big beard on his face stood in front of everyone with a smile on his face.

"The first person I want to introduce is our national goddess, the top student at Peking University, and the queen of the Xiayu music scene... Lin Fei!"

As soon as he finished speaking, warm applause broke out in the room.

A series of fiery gazes turned towards Lin Fei.

Lin Fei, wearing a black long dress that showed off her good figure, stood up and bowed slightly gracefully to everyone.

"Hello everyone."

The crowd responded with warm applause again.

"I won't introduce too much about Fei. You all know better than me how popular she was back then. My entire production team and I are honored that she can participate in our variety show right after her comeback! Welcome again!"

Zhu Shao said with a smile on his face, introducing the second heavyweight guest.

"I don't need to say much about this person. She is the top singer in the Xiayu music scene today. She is a singer who is both beautiful and talented...Sun Meiqi!"

The energetic and sunny girl wearing a sports vest and sports shorts suddenly stood up and bowed to everyone.

With a humble face, she said: "Hello, Director Zhu, Hello, Sister Fei, Hello, everyone. I am Sun Meiqi, and I hope you will take good care of me!"

Song Dao stood quietly behind Lin Fei, looking at this young female singer-songwriter from Hong Kong.

This is probably the most powerful young female singer after Lin Fei.

She should be about the same age as him, but she became very popular as soon as she debuted.

Definitely the most popular little queen in the music industry!
He has a wide vocal range and can handle high, medium and low notes. He has excellent singing skills and a highly recognizable voice.

I didn’t expect that the program crew would invite her.

In the eyes of many people today, Sun Meiqi is definitely comparable to Lin Fei in all aspects except her youth.

"Next, I would like to introduce this person to you. He is a famous singer-songwriter in our Xiayu music scene. He has been in the industry for more than 20 years and has created too many classic songs. He is the mark of youth that has accompanied the growth of several generations... Welcome, Mr. Ma Shen!"

Ma Shen, a man with a long face and heavy stubble, stood up a little awkwardly and greeted everyone.

"Hello everyone, I'm Ma Shen."

Because of his previous bragging in the live broadcast room, he once said in public that Song Dao is just an internet celebrity singer and he is not any good at all.

They also set a bet that if Song could have a song enter the top three of any of the Rising Songs Chart, New Songs Chart, and Original Songs Chart within a year, or enter the top 100 of the Hot Songs Chart and Popularity Index Chart, he would lose.

However, they never expected that the two parties would meet on the same show so soon.

When he first received the invitation and knew the participants, Ma Shen even wanted to refuse it outright.

He knew the intention of the program team.

Isn't it just to create a topic?

But the program crew is rich and gave too much!

Damn, the reward of several million was too much for him to refuse.

Fortunately, he is also an old hand.

Make money, not shabby.

Anyway, it was Lin Fei who brought it here, so if anyone is to be lost, it should be Lin Fei's people!

He just needs to do what he is supposed to do: criticize Song Dao.

As for whether Lin Fei would be unhappy about this, he didn't care about that. At most, he could explain it in private, and it didn't matter whether he listened or not.

So even though it was a bit awkward, I still nodded to everyone openly.

Even Song Dao was taken care of.

——Be objective, not subjective.

Song Dao kept a polite smile on his face and his heart was not too shaken.

In terms of mental age, he is not much younger than this person.

In the adult world, we only look at the pros and cons.

I'm here to become famous and make money.

"I would like to introduce the fourth important guest in particular!"

Zhu Shao bowed slightly to an old man with gray hair sitting on the sofa and gestured with his hand: "Teacher Li Jun! When it comes to this name, Sister Fei and Brother Shen must be very familiar with it.

But younger people may not have heard of it, but when it comes to Mr. Li’s music, everyone is definitely familiar with it…”

At this time, Sun Meiqi raised her hand. After Zhu Shao looked over, he stood up and bowed slightly to Li Jun, then said, "Director Zhu, don't underestimate us young people. I have heard many songs written by Teacher Li, and I like the one called "My Home on the Grassland" the most. It's absolutely amazing!"

"Haha, awesome!" Zhu Shao laughed.

Then he said seriously: "Teacher Li is a true hall-of-fame musician who has trained many superstars and first-line superstars!"

Several young people couldn't help but exclaim.

Li Jun smiled and stood up.

The old man doesn't care much about his appearance and looks very casual.

Smiling, he said kindly, "It's not that exaggerated. In our era, we were all called singers, superstars, and those were all passed down from Hong Kong by Teacher Sun and his friends. They sounded pretty good."

Sun Meiqi stood up again and clasped her hands together with a humble look on her face.

In front of this gentleman, she really didn't dare to be a teacher.

Lin Fei and Ma Shen also stood up and showed great respect to this respected senior.

Lin Fei said with respect: "Teacher Li is my idol and a senior whom I respect very much. Every time I hear the teacher's songs, I feel like I am there. It is worth learning from for us younger generations!"

Li Jun smiled and nodded: "Xiao Lin, you are too polite. This is a good poem. You write it well and sing it even better. Your singing skills have improved a lot!"

Then she suddenly changed the subject: "Is it your boyfriend who wrote the song?"

Lin Fei was slightly startled, but quickly took it up and said with a smile: "No, Mr. Li, he is also a creator I respect very much!"

"Oh, the lyrics are so touching, I thought your boyfriend wrote it just for you."

Lin Fei said: "That was written for Yao Lian. As for you, you might as well look at me more when you create something new. I have always hoped to work with Teacher Li."

Li Jun waved his hand: "I'm old, my brain isn't very sharp anymore. You don't need an old guy like me if you have the Water Strike 3,000. At my age, I just want to see young people in pairs..."

Lin Fei covered her face.

The diva is shy.

Do you know, old man, that Water Strike Three Thousand is right here?

The others laughed as they watched the old man and the queen, the two main guests, interacting and joking with each other.

Only this hall-of-fame boss could do something like urging Lin Fei to find a boyfriend on the show.

Only he dares.

No one else could withstand Lin Fei’s aura.

However, with this kind of interaction, the show was effective and the old man's naughty character was also revealed.

What an interesting person!
Song Dao knew this person; he was in the original owner's memory.

He was a top composer in the summer music scene in the 1980s and 1990s, and was good at various main melody songs.

If you count them carefully, there are at least hundreds of classic songs that were extremely popular back then.

He's a true songwriting master.

Almost every song he wrote can be performed on the Spring Festival Gala.

Yin Hong, a recognized superstar in the Xiayu music scene, has collaborated with him on many songs.

No matter what the occasion, whenever I mention it, I will say that I am Teacher Li’s student.

In addition, there are many singers who are no longer popular nowadays, but became famous by singing his songs.

It’s just that there was no Internet in that era, so it was difficult for people to pay attention to the creators.

Plus, the old man is very low-key and seldom appears in public.

Therefore, many people outside the circle do not know him.

But it is impossible for the original owner, a student of the music conservatory, not to have heard of it.

This legendary musician is not only able to compose main melodies, but also has profound attainments in pop songs!

He wrote a lot of pop songs in the mid-1990s, making a lot of young people famous.

Those people have now become the backbone of the Xiayu music scene.

In addition, he is of ethnic minority origin and has created many exotic songs.

Before this, the old man had never participated in any variety show.

The program crew was really powerful and actually invited him to come out.

With him and Lin Fei, the background of this show can basically be guaranteed.

In addition, there are Sun Meiqi and Ma Shen, two popular singers who are both popular and talented.

This music variety show is full of substance!

"The four heavyweight guests have been introduced. Now, please invite the four students to introduce themselves to everyone and the audience. It will be edited into a behind-the-scenes clip and played as a warm-up on Penguin Video..."

The program's sponsor is none other than the wealthy Goose!

Zhu Shao continued: "Still follow the order just now."

From crane to shoulder-mounted to handheld, several cameras were aimed at Song Dao at the same time.

Everyone's eyes focused on him.

Lin Fei, who was sitting on the sofa, gave him a comforting look, telling him not to worry.

Song Dao was not panicked at all.

Because I just secretly ate a mood stabilizer candy.

Even though Mr. Li teased Lin Fei so much, he remained calm.

"Hello, Director Zhu, hello to all the teachers and friends. My name is Song Dao, and I am honored to be able to participate in this program with all the teachers."

Song Dao first looked at the camera, then bowed slightly to the people who were looking at him.

Then it was gone.

Slightly cold.

But it's also quite generous.

The crowd responded with applause.

Next was a young girl from Sun Meiqi’s group, named Xue Lin.

She looked to be about eighteen or nineteen years old, with a cute little round face.

A bit shy.

He spoke a few words nervously to the camera and his face turned a little red.

Song Dao discovered that this girl had a very good voice.

Very sweet, but not thin.

Next came a handsome young man named Zhao Qi, brought by Ma Shen.

He looks like he has been trained, has a good sense of the camera, and is impeccable in every aspect.

However, Song Dao noticed that this man was very arrogant.

Only show respect to a few people of status.

For example, the director, and several mentors.

When he and Lin Fei just came over, the other party came up to greet Lin Fei very enthusiastically, and then ignored him.

But at this moment, facing the camera, he behaved very humbly.

The last one was a girl from Li Jun’s group, named Zhong Yutong, a girl from a minority ethnic group.

This person, like Kong Xi, is a big internet celebrity who has become popular in the past two years.

As a singer-songwriter, the number of fans he has on major platforms is comparable to that of Kong Xi.

On the way here, Lin Fei talked about this matter with Song Dao.

In fact, on Fei Yang's side, the program team first wanted to invite the pair of Lin Fei and Kong Xi.

Because they are from the same company, Kong Xi is also well-known enough.

But Lin Fei refused.

In her opinion, Song Dao is more suitable for this show than Kong Xi.

This kind of exposure is even more needed.

The various voices targeting Song Dao on the Internet can also be countered through this program.

Especially since Ma Shen is coming too.

That's perfect, you're just making a bet, aren't you?

It won’t take more than a year for you to apologize!
