Entertainment: This top celebrity is really letting loose!

"The rock scene has always been the last pure land in the pop music scene. It is rarely polluted by traffic and there is no messy and disgusting stuff from those people. There is only a group of old-timers who truly love rock music."

But to my utter surprise, the organizers of this year’s event have started to embrace internet traffic and fan culture. Although there are some bands that were temporarily put together by musicians among the many participating teams, they are all established and talented singers in the music industry.

As for Zhou Yang? What does he know about rock and roll?

Do you want his Secondhand Rose to perform "Last-Minute Cramming" or "Learning to Meow" at this year's music festival?

Finally, I'd like to say that as one of the music critics invited to this year's rock music festival, I will not tolerate any band's bad behavior...

As a "sharp-tongued" and "troll" who naturally attracts attention, Ding Dasheng is definitely one of the most popular internet music critics.

His fate has put the Rock Association and the organizers of this year's music festival in the spotlight.

The capital city, the headquarters of the Music Association.

Watching their boss methodically reviewing documents on his laptop screen, the assistant couldn't help but ask, "Chairman Hua, the outside world is buzzing with gossip. Aren't you...aren't you worried at all?"

Hua Rongcheng stopped what he was doing, looked up at him, and said calmly, "Let them curse, I'll do my thing. Are you saying this rock music festival will be canceled just because they said a few words to me?"

"But everyone outside says that Zhou Yang... he doesn't understand rock music at all, and they also say... they also say..."

Seeing him stammering and unable to speak, Hua Rongcheng asked curiously, "What else did you say about me?"

"They say you ruined the rock festival..."

After speaking, the assistant nervously glanced at her boss, fearing that he might become furious.

To everyone's surprise, Hua Rongcheng merely chuckled and then retorted, "The music festival hasn't even started yet, how do they know Zhou Yang doesn't understand rock music? Do they have some kind of precognitive ability?"

"this……"

The assistant was speechless for a moment.

Hua Rongcheng waved his hand and said, "Get out of here and get on with your own business. Stop worrying about all this nonsense."

"I'm sorry, I... I'll go right away."

After his assistant left, Hua Rongcheng, now alone, looked worried.

As the vice chairman of the Music Association and the leader of rock music, Hua Rongcheng is definitely a figure of "high position and great power" in the pop music scene.

With great power comes great responsibility. Someone in such a high position could never remain indifferent to external criticism and questioning; on the contrary, he cares deeply about his reputation. What he just did was merely a forced display of power in front of his assistant.

Inviting Zhou Yang, a rising star, to participate in a rock music festival was not a spur-of-the-moment decision, but a well-thought-out choice. Even the previous invitation to Zhou Yang to attend the Golden Wheat Awards ceremony was given by his own orders.

In his view, the development of Chinese pop music has almost stagnated in recent years. Whether it is songwriting, arrangement, or post-production, it still follows the outdated pattern of Hong Kong pop music.

Hong Kong's pop music scene, which was once the mentor of the mainland entertainment industry, has been in decline for many years. The reason is simple: there was a saying in the past that "original musicians from Japan supported Hong Kong's music scene." With the passing of those old guys from the neighboring island, they no longer have any covers to do.

What is the future of Chinese pop music? This is not a philosophical question, but a huge problem facing this leader.

Similarly, rock music, as one of the major categories of popular music, is also like this. Don't be fooled by the apparent success and rising reputation of the past few rock music festivals. Only he knows that in the past two years, the organizers have not even been able to break even, and the level of attention has plummeted.

Zhou Yang, a top star, has almost single-handedly supported the popularity and traffic of the pop music scene in the past six months, especially by defeating Wei Ran, a gold medal composer, twice.

Although works like "All the Way to Bloom" and "Learn to Meow" received extremely poor reviews, they were still a breath of fresh air, weren't they?

Therefore, Hua Rongcheng regarded Zhou Yang as a catfish, a catfish that could revitalize rock music festivals and even the stagnant pop music scene.

While the hope is wonderful, the risks are also enormous. If this secondhand rose becomes a laughing stock in the competition, even he, the rock and roll leader, will find it difficult to salvage the situation.

Looking at the densely packed list of participating bands on his laptop screen, Hua Rongcheng couldn't help but mutter to himself, "Kid, you absolutely can't let me down this time..."

Star Entertainment, Artists Department.

"Hello, Mr. Lei."

The new receptionist visibly tensed up when she saw her general manager, and even froze on the spot for a moment, unsure of what to do.

However, Lei Mingkai did not blame him at all. Instead, he generously said, "I just came down for a stroll today. You don't need to be too nervous."

After taking a few steps, he turned back and asked, "By the way, is your Director Wang in his office today?"

The receptionist hurriedly replied, "Yes, Director Wang has been here the whole time."

"understood."

A few minutes later, he pushed open Wang Man's office door alone. Wang Man, who had been engrossed in her work, quickly stood up upon seeing him and exclaimed in surprise, "President Lei, what brings you here today?"

"Just wandering around..."

Just as Wang Man was about to invite her boss to sit down, Lei Mingkai asked again, "How's Zhou Yang doing lately? I heard he's been training with his former teammates?"

When he asked about her "confidante Ai-chan", Wang Man's face immediately lit up with a smile, and she said, "Yangyang has been putting in 200% passion into rehearsals lately. She leaves early and comes home late every day, and it's practically just going between home and the company. It breaks my heart to see her like that."

Hearing the praise in her words, Lei Mingkai asked again, "Want to come with me and take a look?"

"Oh? Okay, I'll get ready."

Soon, the two arrived at the karaoke room. Upon seeing this, the person in charge was about to push open the door to warn Zhou Yang and the others inside, but Lei Mingkai stopped him, saying, "Let's just listen from outside the door and not let him know."

Seeing that there was still no response, Wang Man asked again, "What were they rehearsing today?"

The person in charge quickly said, "Teacher Zhou Yang stipulates that the band takes a break every two hours of practice. They are still resting now, but... but the next practice session is coming soon."

Wang Man breathed a slight sigh of relief. After all, Lei Mingkai was her and Zhou Yang's nominal superior. Since he was finally going to the grassroots level, she had to see some real substance.

The group stood there waiting. After about twenty minutes, Zhou Yang's voice came from the room: "Alright, everyone get up, let's continue training..."

Upon hearing this, Wang Man said to Lei Mingkai, "Yangyang and the others have started."

The latter nodded and said, "Let's listen."

Immediately afterwards, Zhou Yang's voice rang out again from inside the room: "Secondhand roses, rock music festival hire!"

Wang Man's face lit up with a smile, and she praised, "I must say, that's quite imposing."

However, her smile quickly faded. There was no singing from Zhou Yang inside the room; instead, there were bursts of suona playing. The eerie melody, combined with other folk instruments, instantly sent chills down the spines of the three people standing outside.

A moment later, Lei Mingkai couldn't help but shudder, then coldly said to Wang Man beside him, "Is this what you call Zhou Yang training diligently?"

Wang Man's face turned deathly pale. She said, "President Lei, I..."

She was just about to explain when Lei Mingkai suddenly turned and left.
