All-rounder Artist

Chapter 1165: Chapter 109: It Ignited Chapter 1165: Chapter 109: It Ignited Su Lian is not alone.

In fact, many project teams are staring blankly at the surnames attached to the works they have selected…

For example, the flute playing team.

The Blue Songlympics has flute competitions.

However, considering the vast number of categories that flutes can be divided into, the officials of the Blue Songlympics decided to group all flute players together—

Everyone can compete with different kinds of flutes.

What can you do when the types of flutes on Blue Star are just overwhelmingly diverse?

Even animals like tigers and lions are distinguished by their regions.

Their size, appearance, and even some more subtle characteristics vary from place to place.

The same goes for flutes.

Commonly seen in the market are various flutes like the curved flute, cup flute, fixed-pitch flute, added-keys flute, jade screen flute, seven-hole flute, eleven-hole flute, and so on.

Among them, the most influential is the Blue Star flute.

The design of the Blue Star flute is very unique, significantly different from flutes on Earth. It is a new type of musical instrument with very rich expressive power, which is why it has become popular on Blue Star in recent years and is even named “Blue Star flute.”

The flute that Lu Yan’an uses is the Blue Star flute.

And the piece he selected is very suitable for playing with the Blue Star flute.

In fact, just by listening to the first few seconds of the melody, Lu Yan’an was utterly certain that he had to secure this piece named “The Original Scenery of the Hometown”!

It is a masterpiece!

This is not only Lu Yan’an’s judgment but also that of the entire flute performance team.

This is the reason why everyone is blankly staring at the name “Xian Yu.”

This young Maestro actually understands flute music?

…

Regardless of whether the participants got the works they wanted, the future competition is inevitably full of uncertainties.

Everyone does not even know the rules.

How will so many events across continents be compared at that time?

Will it be broadcast live?

How will the timing be arranged?

All these are unknowns.

Because this is the first time Blue Star has hosted a music event of such scale, there are no precedents to follow.

In the days to come, the continents are still earnestly preparing for the competition.

Today.

Finally, some related news came from the higher-ups:

The Blue Songlympics is officially renamed “Blue Star Music Festival.”

Okay.

An irrelevant piece of news.

People really don’t care whether it’s called “Blue Songlympics” or “Blue Star Music Festival.”

All everyone needs to know is that this is the first official music contest between the continents of Blue Star.

But indeed, the name has changed.

The media, when reporting this grand event, has already started calling it “Blue Star Music Festival.”

Abbreviated as “Blue Songlympics.”

And as various parties paid attention, time moved on to March, and finally, the continents received some more concrete news.

…

Qin Continent.

The core coaching group meeting.

The head coaches have been extremely busy these days, rushing between various project teams.

One hundred and eight project teams.

Basically, everyone takes turns running around.

Yang Zhongming is even more exhausted because, in the end, all decisions need to be made by him as the chief coach.

At this moment.

Yang Zhongming held a document and said, “A new notice from the Literature and Art Association: judges for each event at the Blue Songlympics will be appointed by the Literature and Art Association.”

Everyone nodded.

This was expected, but Lu Sheng still voiced his concerns, “If so, wouldn’t most of the judges be Middle State people?”

Yang Zhongming: “Mmm.”

Lu Sheng clicked his tongue twice but didn’t say much more.

There’s not much that the continents can do about this kind of thing, just hope that the judges can be somewhat fair.

Although there are no previous cases to refer to, it’s not uncommon for disputes to arise due to unfair judgments by referees in previous Bluelympics.

“Furthermore…”

Yang Zhongming smiled and said, “The entire competition will be broadcast live on television, and our head coaches will also have to participate in some commentary, mainly to explain the event to viewers from our continent, so everyone please be mentally prepared.”

“Isn’t there any news related to the official competition?”

“The rules for the trending category have been released. Each continent sends five male and female contestants to play in the group stages – five in each group, split into eight for men and women, with two from each group advancing…”

“It seems that the trending category is being taken very seriously.”

“Of course, because the trending category events are Enjoyed by both Refined and Vulgar. Regardless of the audience’s level of appreciation, everyone can thoroughly enjoy it, unlike those musical instrument competitions, like classical piano, where some audience members just don’t understand, and that’s inevitable. Just like in the Bluelympics, there are some less popular sports that people don’t really care about. They’re only concerned about whether or not they get good results in the end.”

“I actually think musical instruments will attract a lot of attention.”

“In recent years, Golden Hall has started to broadcast more frequently, and the viewing rates have been rising year on year. This shows that musical instrument performances are becoming increasingly popular. The public is beginning to accept a higher level of music, unlike before, when only a specific group of people had this pursuit.”

The topic had inadvertently drifted.

Yang Zhongming brought the conversation back to the point: “Most song contests start with group stages, but the duet category events don’t have separate groups. It’s knock-out from the start, each person with one song, and competitors from the same continent may end up in contention…”

There weren’t any bizarre rules.

Different events had different competition formats.

After examining the rules thoroughly, everyone felt that the current competition format was still reasonably fair.

But the official competition hadn’t started yet, and there was no ruling out the possibility for adjustments in the rules of different events later on.

After discussing the rules.

Yang Zhongming suddenly said, “Like the Bluelympics, we have about a month left, and as the day of the competition draws near, we are going to hold a rally. Who has a music piece for it?”

Yin Dong asked, “What are the requirements?”

Lu Sheng smiled and said, “Of course, it has to be exhilarating.”

Zheng Jing agreed, “The kind that makes people’s blood boil.”

Ye Zhi Qiu added, “It would be best to evoke a sense of tension as well.”

Yang Zhongming joined the discussion, “Including some electronic elements might have a good effect.”

“Don’t just talk about the requirements.”

One of the head coaches rolled his eyes, “What about your pieces? We need to bring out our spirit during the rally!”

Everyone either looked down at their feet or gazed up at the sky.

Pretending to be dead in unison.

Lin Yuan, being the honest one, thought for a moment and then said,

“How about this one?”

He took out his phone from his pocket.

The gazes of the crowd shifted from wandering to shocked and then approached numbness.

So freakin’ late in the game!

And you still have a piece?

Why were they all just discussing requirements earlier and nothing else?

Why did they all start playing dead when they heard about needing a music piece?

Because their repertoire had been pretty much cleared out by the Blue Songlympics, they were at their wits’ end, and here was Xian Yu, who had contributed the most to the Blue Songlympics, still able to whip out a piece. That really made the Maestros feel completely defeated, not knowing what to say.

Could they only say that it’s great to be young?

But even when we were young, we weren’t this impressive, right?

While everyone’s thoughts were all over the place, Yang Zhongming snapped his fingers, almost having a bit of a Thanos vibe:

“Let’s listen to it.”

Lin Yuan nodded and pressed play.

Wait and wait and wait and wait and wait and wait and wait…

Amidst the changing expressions on everyone’s faces, Lin Yuan spoke, “This piece is called ‘Victory’, I think it has a good significance, suitable for the rally.”

Victory was, of course, the localized name.

Lin Yuan had brought forward an essential energetic anthem for editing montages, “Victory.”

In the midst of the music.

Several head coaches exchanged looks.

As the rhythm gradually intensified, someone suddenly blurted out a curse:

“F*ck me, it’s firing up!”
