Chapter 357 It’s worth it In the final episode, Yi Junxi will win! He has a reason not to lose! There were old and new grudges between him and Wu Mu. Seeing Wu Mu Ying always stepping on his face made him feel as uncomfortable as if ants were crawling all over his body. This was based on realistic considerations of the Korean market. Before accepting this show, he had never thought about the impact this show would have on his popularity. It was just a Chinese variety show that no one outside would watch. So what if he lost? But after Wu Mu entered the Korean market, all this changed. If he lost, he would be stepped on by Wu Mu to get to the top. From now on, when people mention him and Wu Mu, this show will definitely be an indispensable part. And then there is his pride and passion for music. As a Korean pop star group that has been popular for more than ten years, talent alone is not enough; sufficient love and immersion in music can be said to be the most basic conditions. He couldn't accept that his concert would be inferior to others. He didn't believe that he would be beaten by a Chinese idol singer who was ten years younger than him. He wants to win once! Yi Junxi clenched his fists tightly, his belief firm. Of course, faith alone obviously can’t win. To be honest, sometimes he himself was very confused and didn't know how to defeat Wu Mu. He had tried many times before. He had thought about winning by relying on the quality and popularity of his classic songs, he had also tried winning by using explosive stage design and live performance, he had also tried a unique singing method, winning by novelty through silent chanting.

But till now, I still haven't won once. Every time I lost due to Wu Mu’s unreasonable “infectiousness”. No matter how well he performs, the audience who are emotionally drawn into Wu Mu will ultimately choose him. However, after experimenting for so long, he was not without gain. He had an idea. Since other methods didn't work, how about he compete directly with Wu Mu in terms of infectiousness? What if he also sang a song that was infectious and emotional? The next morning after receiving the call, Wu Mu arrived at the program recording venue. But it seemed not early enough, because everyone else arrived earlier than him. Even checking Weibo, Lu Yao, who seemed to have gone traveling recently, had also arrived. She approached me with a mysterious look on her face, "Xiao Wu, Xiao Wu, guess who I saw?" Wu Mu looked at her, his face thoughtful, he didn't guess, and suddenly asked, "By the way, Yao, I've never asked, what does your family do?" "what?" Lu Yao was obviously stunned, with a bewildered expression on her face, "My dad is a university professor, and my mom is a company manager, what's wrong?" University professor? Company manager? Wu Mu looked at her with some suspicion. Why did he not believe it? Not to mention that their identities were a bit too ordinary, her father was a university professor, so how come he didn't seem to pass on any intelligence to his daughter? To be on the safe side, he further inquired, "What university professor? What company manager?" "Peking University and Tsinghua University and China Film Group, why are you suddenly asking this, Xiaowu?" Lu Yao's face was even more confused. what? Professor at Peking University and Tsinghua University? Manager of China Film Group? You are able to summarize briefly. Wu Mu looked at her with amusement, "Nothing, I just saw that you seem to be quite free every day, as if you are always traveling around." "Of course you can go traveling after you finish your work!" Lu Yao obviously didn't understand, and looked at Wu Mu with an expression of "how can you be so stupid?"

But after secretly despising Wu Mu, she suddenly rolled her eyes and shouted in dissatisfaction, "It's not fair! Xiao Wu, you asked me questions, and I have to ask you questions too!" She looked careless and nonchalant, but she was secretly glancing at Wu Mu from the corner of her eyes, "Xiao Wu, what do your parents do?" Wu Mu Yile, it seems that he has inherited it. He did not avoid the question and said directly, "My mother is an elementary school teacher, and the other one is a part-time worker at a construction site." After saying that, he did not forget to remind her, "Don't tell anyone outside." Lu Yao was very surprised, "Xiao Wu, your mother is also a teacher, just like my father!" She seemed to suddenly realize something, and she also seemed to be hinting at something. "No wonder we have so many common topics." Wu Mu felt that there was still a slight difference between an elementary school teacher and a professor at Peking University or Tsinghua University, but he did not refute it, but just smiled and said, "We do have common topics." He brought the topic back to the beginning, "Who did you see?" Lu Yao's attention was diverted back, and she whispered with excitement on her face, "I saw Yue Qinglan and Zhang Xuezhong!" A hint of surprise flashed across Wu Mu's face. These are really two super big names. Zhang Xuezhong is a veteran superstar singer from Blue Star who is similar to Liang Jun, but he has retired more deeply than Liang Jun and has rarely appeared in public in recent years. And Yue Qinglan is even more amazing. If Mo Mo’s title of legendary queen needs to be supplemented with a small word, then Yue Qinglan is the real legendary queen. She was a female singer on Blue Star in the 1980s and 1990s who was basically known to everyone in China. She has retired for many years and rarely appears in public. How come these two people appear here now? Invited by Star City TV? How much does it cost to hire these two people? Wu Mu was surprised. When he went in with Lu Yao, he indeed saw Yue Qinglan and Zhang Xuezhong in the venue. Yue Qinglan was wearing an elegant and graceful black gauze dress with a gauze veil on her face that completely covered her features. However, looking at her figure, one could already detect a hint of old age. But that's normal. Considering her age, she is already over 60 years old. Zhang Xuezhong was in much better condition, wearing simple casual clothes. Although he no longer had the aura of a star who attracted the attention of the crowd and seemed to be hard to find in the crowd, at least he looked healthy and energetic. Not only these two people, but also Liang Jun, the King of Kings who is still quite active in the circle, is also there. He was walking around the venue with the two of them, chatting and laughing with them as they walked. Then, as they were talking, Liang Jun, who was walking around the stage, looked up and saw Wu Mu. A smile appeared on his face, and he subconsciously wanted to raise his hand and wave to Wu Mu. But halfway through raising his hand, he paused again, then put it down and whispered something to the two people beside him. Yue Qinglan's face was covered by a veil, so her expression could not be seen clearly, but Zhang Xuezhong's face showed obvious surprise. Then the three of them walked towards Wumu together. Wu Mu: “.”

Although he couldn't hear it, he felt that Liang Jun definitely didn't say anything good about him just now. He had some strange thoughts in his mind, and instead of standing there waiting, he went straight to meet him. "Hello, Wu Mu." The two met in an aisle in the middle of the venue, Liang Jun greeted Wu Mu with a smile. Wu Mu was very polite, "King Liang." In fact, although the two have met indirectly in several programs, and Wu Mu had even used Liang Jun's identity to mislead the audience when he was on the Masked Singer before, this was the first time they had actually met. Liang Jun was quite easy to talk to, and even talked about Wu Mu's masked singer a long time ago, "Hahaha, you imitated my voice so well at that time, I even doubted myself when I heard it, whether I had dreamed of participating in the show and I didn't remember it." Wu Mu was a little embarrassed, "I didn't greet King Liang." "It's okay. Why do you need to say hello for such a small matter?" Liang Jun waved his hand nonchalantly, and then introduced the two people next to him to Wu Mu. Zhang Xuezhong has been watching with interest, "Are you Wu Mu? Liang Jun thinks highly of you, saying that you will sooner or later become the leader of the new generation of our Chinese music scene, but you just need a little personality? When he saw you just now, he told us that if he called you over directly, you might not agree. He said that if he waved and you didn't come over, it would be embarrassing. In order to avoid embarrassment, let us come over." what? Wu Mu: “.” Sure enough, he didn't say anything nice. Wu Mu, who felt that his reputation was damaged, was a little speechless. "I often listen to the songs of Zhang Tianwang and Yue Laoshi. I have always been looking forward to meeting the two teachers." When Zhang Xuezhong was still active, he was said to be a quiet person who didn't like to talk much, but he seems to have become much more talkative after retiring. As for Liang Jun, he was originally a very talkative person. So the three of them chatted very harmoniously. However, Yue Qinglan, who had the highest status, had been quiet. When Liang Jun introduced her, she just nodded without saying anything, and then she stood there and listened silently during the conversation. After chatting for a while, Liang Jun and the others wanted to go somewhere else and were about to leave when she suddenly spoke: "Liang Jun said that you are very rare. You can even write foreign language songs. Moreover, they are high-quality foreign language songs that can be popular in foreign countries." A bit old and slightly muddy voice. Wu Mu was slightly stunned and looked at Yue Qinglan who spoke. Through the veil, it is difficult to see Yue Qinglan's expression. "Sing well. Our Chinese music scene has been lagging behind the outside world for many years. There has never been a Chinese singer with global influence. If we want to stand up, we still have to rely on you young people." Wu Mu didn't know how to answer, so he just nodded cautiously, "Yeah." After Yue Qinglan finished speaking, she nodded at him and left with Liang Jun and the others. Wu Mu looked at their backs as they left and felt strange. This is really valuable. When Yue Qinglan became famous, the domestic music scene was not only lagging behind the outside world, but it was so far behind that the outside world could not even be seen. It has been revealed over the years that the classic songs we used to be familiar with were actually covers of foreign songs. Domestic singers can hardly have any global influence, and if they were to be introduced to other countries, I'm afraid no one would even take them seriously. But this cannot be simply blamed on music and domestic musicians. This is due to the deep-seated influence of economy and politics. You cannot expect a country to develop a good music market when it can't even feed itself. And is it true that there were no good songs in China decades ago? I'm afraid not necessarily. Even if there were good songs, the outside world would not care about them due to various political and ethnic factors. To put it in a broader sense, the definition of what is a good song has probably already been shaped by the profound influence of Western culture and converged with the tastes of the outside world. This topic is too broad, and it is really not something that Wu Mu, a lazy guy who relies on the system to get by, can think about.

Moreover, he copied all his songs, and it is so shameless for him to give himself value. Wu Mu shook his head and didn't take it seriously. However, he did vaguely understand why a singer of Yue Qinglan's status would appear here. really. "I heard that Mr. Yue was persuaded by producer Wu to come here on the pretext of encouraging younger leaders." Mo Mo whispered to Wu Mu, and she sighed, "It is said to be a witness to the inheritance of our young singers. Now our domestic singers are no worse than foreign singers." There was a sound of Wu Mu'e's forehead. If Teacher Yue Qinglan has such regrets and ambitions, Thaksin and Wu Feng. He is a person who is recognized online as someone who doesn't care about anything for the sake of popularity. What kind of ideals and heritage does he have? Mo Mo obviously had some ideals, and said with a little disappointment, "I think we will disappoint Teacher Yue. We have already reached the top in China. If we want to go one step further, it will not only be a matter of music." No one understands this better than Mo Mo. She has always been the real leader of the younger generation. He became famous early and has a great reputation, but he has really reached the ceiling in the country. It’s not like she hasn’t tried to enter overseas markets before, and she’s even won a major award overseas. But it was only after the shock that she understood it better. What the hell is the matter with music or not? At this point, it is no longer about music. Just like fans of popular singers can like their songs to the point of crying, as long as people like you, people will still listen to you even if you sing badly. On the other hand, as long as they don't like you, as long as you are Chinese, and as long as China's voice abroad does not increase, then no matter how well you sing, no one will care, and they won't even care how well you sing. Wu Mu looked at Mo Mo who was a little disappointed. Well, it was time to awaken a system for Teacher Mo, or should he use the performance card for Mo? Wu Mu shook his head slightly. He is not very interested in high value. The music needs to surpass, the movies need to surpass, the games need to surpass, the technology needs to surpass, the culture needs to surpass. There are really too many things to surpass! It’s better to live a relaxed life and wait until the national strength surpasses others. Or wait until he has more performance cards? Wu Mu and Mo Mo were chatting in low voices. They were sitting in a specially marked contestant seat at the edge of the stage. Xingcheng National Sports Center is much larger than Xingcheng Cultural and Sports Arena, so for this show they don’t have to wait in the backstage lounge for recording, but will sit directly on the edge of the stage and record the entire show. Beside them, Tsukishima Chizuru and Yi Junxi had also arrived. Yi Junxi looked at them chatting in low voices with no interest at all, his face expressionless. Tsukishima Chizuru was very interested and wanted to join in the conversation. Unfortunately, both of them spoke in low voices and in Chinese, so she couldn't understand. She wanted to interrupt but had no topic to start with, so she could only secretly glance at Wu Mu's face in a daze. As for Yue Qinglan and others who had appeared before and were obviously going to be the guest speakers, they did not show up.

I guess they want to keep it a secret for now and give the audience a surprise. Then, while we were waiting, the audience started to enter the seats at the front of the venue. The game is about to begin. - ps: Delete the water and lay the foundation for this chapter. (End of this chapter)
