NOVEL SIMPLE
Chapter 157
Qin Wei handed in her homework, and next was the segment of the program group organizing and showing it during the live stream.
The live stream location was set in the courtyard of the inn. The program group borrowed a large projection screen for meetings and then started the live stream.
Danmu comments:
"Oh? Lu E is back!"
"Really look forward to the comedian's homework!"
...
In order to make it today, Yang Xiao had also specially taken a plane from the imperial capital. Although there was no audience on site, he was still professional in hosting the online evening party. Right after greeting everyone and briefly interacting, he read a long broadcast manuscript.
The show wasn't even halfway through yet, but because the click-through rate kept getting higher, willing sponsor brands kept increasing as well.
Although it sounded annoying, it also meant the show was on fire and had high attention.
"Next up, let's not waste any more time and first listen to the first group, Teacher Li Siyi, please introduce your group's work!"
Li Siyi said:
"Our group's choice of material was the local mountain songs. Our work combines dance and singing in a way that mountain songs often reflect the daily life and most naive emotions of working people..."
On behalf of her small group, Li Siyi introduced their inspiration source after the field trip and creative concepts as detailed as possible. Next was a short video showing the dance Li Siyi and the locals learned, as well as a section of a mountain song sung by group members Wei Lai and Sun Tiantian. Its professional level received unanimous praise from netizens and judges.
Next was Zhang Yuru's small group. She grouped up with Yan Jinyu and Kong Yiyi. Since all of their dance skills were strong, they mainly relied on dance. What they prepared were ethnic instrument accompanied dances.
"Next is Ms. Xin Ya's group. After the director received your work, he couldn't help but give me spoilers and said it was really awesome and that you must introduce it well."
Before Xin Ya had a chance to speak, Liu Xin naturally said:
"Special thanks to the director for the recognition. We did put too much effort into this work. Because of work, this was my first time coming to the southwest. After experiencing the beautiful scenery, I sprouted the idea of wanting to create a song.
This song must have a feeling of blending into nature. Through my work, I want to tell people to protect nature.
Of course, I'm also thankful to my two teammates for their help in enabling me to accomplish this."
Yang Xiao followed up and said:
"Not many works can get such praise from the chief director. I'm even a bit impatient to see it, so let's enjoy it together now!"
When the first bird cry rang out from the speakers after the video was played, Qin Wei signaled the staff to stop the showing.
"What's going on?"
Everyone on site felt strange. Why did Qin Wei suddenly stop the showing?
Qin Wei said to Liu Xin:
"Sister Liu Xin, given our previous collaboration, I'll give you one chance to show your own work instead."
Liu Xin replied:
"It seems I didn't introduce the work in enough detail, so it caused misunderstanding right? I guess Qin Wei probably had the same idea as me to use various sounds in nature as materials and then arrange them. Our ideas crashed, right?"
Danmu comments:
"Is Qin Wei that petty? Can't tolerate the same idea?"
"If her work was played first, would she not complain then?"
"Hurry up, isn't the point now to see the results of your field trip?"
"Ideas crashing isn't scary."
"Whoever is worse will be embarrassing doge"
"Qin Wei embarrassed first"
"Qin Wei nada"
...
Qin Wei didn't say anything more. Liu Xin also gloomily dropped her face and let Yang Xiao continue.
A few bird calls appeared in the audio, sometimes distant, sometimes near, clear and pleasant.
It was followed by the soft friction sound of leaves being blown up by the wind.
Along with the murmuring sound of flowing water, the notes rang out.
At the beginning, there were only a few simple notes, forming a stretch of relaxing melody. But it allowed people to visualize the scene in their minds, as if they were among the mountains and clean waters, accompanying little elves frolicking in the trees.
Danmu comments:
"I finally believe music has the power to heal the heart. Close your eyes to listen, it's refreshing."
"They really are musical geniuses! I can even hear the visuals and desperately want to go see southwest China!"
"No wonder Qin Wei wanted to trip them up. Ten of her still can't match one of their musical notes."
"This is called the wise propping each other up while the foolish trip each other. Sister Qin doesn't have enough breadth. Talent isn't something you can block!"
"Already Lu Xin's fan. I'm going to make this song my ringtone."
...
"Stop."
The showing was stopped a second time. Everyone looked toward the voice and saw Gu Minghua had stood up.
"What's going on now?"
The artists were all surprised.
After working with Teacher Gu for a long time, it was discovered he was truly gentle and easy-going, behaving very appropriately. The only stubborn area was music. Whenever he gave music-related suggestions to the classes he led, he was always very earnest.
So for him to stand out definitely wasn't deliberately causing trouble.
Yang Xiao asked:
"Teacher Gu, what's the issue?"
Gu Minghua always had a warm smile on normal days, but not today. He coldly said:
"To hear my own work here without my permission and moreover be credited under someone else's name, I feel very regretful."
After Gu Minghua said this sentence, everyone froze.
So this song was not Liu Xin's work??
In the face of something he couldn't tolerate, he chose to tell the truth even though this was currently live. Although he didn't keep any face:
"The day we came to southwest China, Ms. Qin Wei told me her idea of wanting to collect the nice sounds in nature. I thought it was interesting so I went with her.
In the process, she also inspired a lot of my inspiration. I recorded them all in my notebook and to avoid losing, I also input my handwritten music score that day into the cloud and uploaded it so the upload time can testify for me.
What everyone heard now was the third draft, some of which were Qin Wei's revisions.
Also, based on my work habits and protecting my intellectual property, I add audio watermarks to my compositions. This one was no exception.
So Ms. Liu Xin, no matter what reason you obtained and used my demo, I will sue you."
Danmu comments:
"Holy crap! She stole it??"
"I said why this song is so high level, turns out it came from Haydn's hand, no wonder."
"Damn! Doesn't Liu Xin know what audio watermarks are?"
"I'm even more shocked, our sweet sister Lu E can even do this?"
"I'm also shocked. Turns out Qin Wei even knows how to arrange music?"
"Shouldn't the point be how Liu Xin falsely claimed this song?"
...
Public opinion online quickly changed. Those sideways-watching netizens who were just dissing Qin Wei were now firmly standing on her side.
Liu Xin felt like her whole body was frozen with coagulated blood. She couldn't come up with a single justification for a long time.
But Xin Ya suddenly stood out to absolve herself of responsibility:
"As you all heard earlier, that song was mainly led by Liu Xin. We didn't help out much and also aren't very clear on the details...
However, my teammates and I did prepare our own little work. Perhaps it isn't quite perfect, but it's also our sentiment during the field trip. Please take a look."
Stupid senior-apprentice sister. Daring to use someone else's song just because you think it's good, did she really think Qin Wei's works could reach this level?
Luckily I prepared a backup plan. No matter if her song succeeds or not, I'll show my own work and even generously say:
"It's not just my contributions."
