Chapter 37 Ball Game
After the afternoon opera appreciation class, Deng Zehao, the captain of the football team, led his players to the football field. Deng Zehao is a handsome man with an artistic appearance. His long flowing hair is tied up with a hairband. The square glasses make her look delicate, and her speaking voice is waxy. Wu Nong’s soft words can be used to describe not only women but also men.
The people of Alashen City are meticulous and considerate in their work. Deng Zehao was afraid that Xia Haoyang would not bring his sports shoes and clothes, so he deliberately prepared an extra set. It stands to reason that there should be more boys than girls in the screenwriting major, but I don’t know why there are only eleven boys in the screenwriting department of Yancheng Film Academy this year, but there are so many female cheerleaders cheering and cheering on the sidelines. Extraordinarily spectacular.
This game is a competition between the screenwriting department and the junior photography department. At Yancheng Film Academy, the photography department has always been considered a strong team. At least there are enough male students. The screenwriting department of the previous years is also quite prestigious on campus, but this sophomore screenwriting department is indeed a bit weak. Xia Haoyang, who was a bit fat, played at left back in the first half. As a result, the team fell behind 0:7 at halftime.
During the halftime break, Xia Haoyang said: "How about I guard the goal in the second half? Although I am a little fatter, I am not afraid of falling."
Deng Zehao, the captain and the team's center, saw that the main goalkeeper's performance was average and agreed to Xia Haoyang's request to guard the goal. Xia Haoyang had played football before and was very good at it. But now this body is a serious burden, making it impossible for him to perform. Several goals conceded in the first half were caused by Xia Haoyang's defensive loopholes. There was no way, because Xia Haoyang really couldn't keep up with his speed. Anyone who had played in amateur games We know that speed plays a far greater role on the court than technique and mental strength.
When no one has any overall tactics, personal abilities or personal speed will be infinitely magnified.
After the second half, the situation on the court did not change much. Although the female cheerleaders from the screenwriting department were cheering hard, the court was still one-sided. However, Xia Haoyang, as the goalkeeper, performed amazingly in the second half. But this screenwriter department really couldn't compete with the photography department. In the second half, their physical fitness was greatly exhausted, and the opponent could face the goalkeeper with a single charge.
Xia Haoyang saved at least 30 shots from the opponent in the second half, eliciting bursts of cheers and applause from the onlookers, and was even named the best of the game by the on-site commentator. However, it could not change the fate of the team that was still massacred by the opponent with 3 goals in the second half. Combined with the score of 0:7 in the first half, the Screenwriting Department lost by a double-digit score of 0:10 in the first round of the league this year.
After the game, the team's condition was not as depressed as Xia Haoyang imagined. Even the cheerleaders outside the field were in high spirits. Captain Deng Zehao came to Xia Haoyang excitedly and said: "So you are so good at goalkeeping. That's great. You will be our regular goalkeeper from now on. Our dream of a draw this year may come true."
"No, we lost 0:10, why didn't everyone feel frustrated?" Xia Haoyang was a little confused.
"Why are you frustrated? We performed very well this year. Last year we faced the Photography Department, and we lost by 0:27, mainly because we collapsed in the second half. This year, with you, we performed very well. Well, it's all due to you. .Brother, what's your name?" Although captain Deng Zehao was breathing heavily, his tone was still excited.
"Xia Haoyang." It turned out to be such a bad team. Xia Haoyang breathed a sigh of relief. It was fine that the team was bad, so there was no burden.
"Okay, Xia Haoyang, with your strong joining in the future, our 22nd Screenwriting Department will impress everyone. Let's go to dinner tonight and have fun!" The captain looked excited.
In the subsequent competition, Xia Haoyang's high attack and low defense really made everyone look at the 22nd Screenwriting Department with admiration, but it still did not change the result that the Screenwriting Department was bound to lose in every battle. After a whole season, the 21st Class of the Screenwriting Department ranked last in the Inter-College Cup with a total loss without scoring a single goal, and the team's main goalkeeper Xia Haoyang was selected as a substitute for the best team of the season. Because of his outstanding performance in football matches, Xia Haoyang's relationship with his classmates has become more harmonious.
What Xia Haoyang didn't know was that Tang Wanqi, the goddess he couldn't catch up with back then, also watched his games many times on the sidelines. To be precise, he watched every game. Tang Wanqi, who went back to school to seek help from her teacher for rehearsing a play, found out that Xia Haoyang was indeed studying in the screenwriting department, so she often ran to school, but did not appear in front of Xia Haoyang. Maybe she was still hesitating about something and kept hesitating.
Xia Haoyang lived a leisurely life while going to school and working. In mid-May, Chiyo Records' group EHS released a new album, the title song of which was "Good Days" written by Xia Haoyang. Because of EHS's terrifying popularity, the album immediately shot to the top of the major music charts as soon as it was released. In just 2 days, more than 500 million digital albums were sold. The price is 30 yuan for a digital version of the album, which contains 12 pieces of music. . 500 million copies is equivalent to million Chinese national currency, and the music world is in an uproar.
Several bosses from Fat Cat Studio were also in the recording studio chatting about today's news about EHS's new album, and they all looked envious. 2 million, it only took days, how much was the production cost? This is obviously faster than opening a bank to get money. Tara's three pieces of music currently on major music charts are all provided free of charge. You can't make money by downloading the music studio. It's a loss-making way to gain popularity, just to increase the popularity. After seeing how profitable EHS's album was, everyone's hearts were ready to move.
"How about we also create an album for Tara." Li Tianci stared at the news on the computer, his eyes shining, and there was still drool at the corner of his mouth.
"Godsend, why are you panicking? Although EHS has only debuted a few years ago, it is already well-known, has regular fans, and has market purchasing power. Our Tara is not popular enough yet. If you really release an album, who will buy it? Don't be impatient, take your time. ." Zhou Yuanhong deserves to be called the big brother, but he has a stable mentality.
"But I'm quite surprised that Fatty gave someone such a good song." Zhou Yuanhong looked at Xia Haoyang.
As the melody of "Good Days" came, everyone was full of praise for the quality of the song. Most ordinary viewers did not have such a deep understanding of music. In fact, they could not tell what a good song was. They could only judge it as a good song. Distinguish whether it sounds good or not, and then consider some music that is pleasant, comfortable, simple in melody but brainwashing to be good music. (In fact, k-pop is this kind of music.) But in the minds of professionals, these are not good music, or not high-end.
Why do we say that some music that ordinary audiences find pleasant and familiar melodies may not be good music in the eyes of professionals? In fact, it has something to do with the structure of the music. Most pop music, such as the music of Internet singers: their harmonies and vocals are fixed patterns or routines. Some minor-key songs will have an F-G-C harmony trend at the climax, ( C key for example) creates a tragic and bitter feeling.
Other major-key music usually has a C-A-D-G pattern in the climax, although the audience will feel an increased sense of familiarity and identification, and think it sounds pretty good. But in fact, these types of songs are basically similar and follow the trend in song creation. Naturally, it will not be recognized by professionals.
In terms of production, a lot of original music has a fixed 4/4 drum beat, and the BPM is around 120, which is a fixed rhythm. Although this kind of music is conducive to public acceptance and dissemination, it is too similar, just like when you read online movies and watch the male protagonist pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger every day, and the plot is the same every day, the female protagonist regrets her marriage, you shout 30 years of Hedong and Hexi, and then fight The green tea bitch-faced heroine.
It’s fun to watch it once, and it’s fun to watch it twice, but after watching it ten times, eight times, or a hundred times, will you still feel better? Absolutely not, I just turn the pages quickly or even abandon the book. This is actually the case with most pop music. It's just a slight change in the melody and a change in the lyrics. Ordinary audiences are not so keen and cannot detect it. But for professionals, such changes cannot escape their ears, which is why they look down on this kind of music.
