Top composers

Passersby, who had come back to their senses at this point, said:

"This is a future epic divine song! Great Xia is quite impressive!"

"Is this music available for free? It was truly lucky to be here today."

"No, this song is so good; I must vote!"

"That's right, that's right! I want to vote too!"

Thus, the next scene unfolded: thousands of people voluntarily lined up just to cast a vote for Great Xia.

The International Instrument Exchange Conference officials began the final vote counting.

Meanwhile, the Great Xia group started packing up.

Apart from the small instruments they brought themselves, the rest were either returned to Music Country or packed and shipped back home.

This journey had reached its conclusion.

As for the final result, frankly, looking at the expressions of Dai Tianxiong and the others, they didn't seem to care much.

And indeed, the second round of the competition was the most important.

Dai Tianxiong originally wanted the young people to have a good showing at the end, but if they were aiming for first place, then the old guys like them certainly couldn't slack off.

The country that valued the third round the most was actually Little Japan.

Since they didn't make it into the top three in the second round, they wanted to at least get a good ranking in this round.

However, coincidentally, last night, Ono Kazuo was defeated by Nan Ye and remained in a state of dejection until now, completely uninterested in organizing the final round's performance.

This resulted in a rather unsatisfactory final score.

Other countries had also focused their energy on the first two rounds, and their good songs had already been used up.

They were nowhere near Great Xia, which brought out three new songs.

Moreover, these were all songs of excellent quality, almost without fault.

Consequently, Great Xia unexpectedly took first place in the third round with an overwhelming advantage of 10206 votes.

This was truly a pleasant surprise!

Early the next morning, the group boarded the plane back home.

However, there was a 7-hour time difference between Music Country and Great Xia, plus an 11-hour flight.

By the time Nan Ye arrived in Yan City, it was already late at night.

No, he needed to adjust to the time difference first; he didn't even have time to greet Seven Lord.

...

While Nan Ye was resting, the Composition Association had already entered a heated discussion.

Chairman Zeng Zhuo directly threw the question into the group chat: "@everyone, regarding the recently released 'nine provinces unite', 'xiang wang xing (elephant king's journey)', 'Qin Wang Po Zhen Yue', 'Victory'...

What are everyone's thoughts?"

Speaking of this, everyone became interested:

"You mean the songs from the International Instrument Exchange Conference, right? I listened to them; they're all very good, but I personally prefer 'laughing in the sea'."

"The music is incredibly grand; the composer is very skilled!"

"They can all become classics, good songs that will be passed down through the ages. Excellent!"

"So, which great masters in our group composed these songs? We'll go and observe later."

As soon as Liu Min said this, the entire group chat went silent.

Not a single comma was sent.

After a long while, he couldn't help himself and sent out two question marks.

The result was still no response.

Just as Liu Min was about to ask another question, someone finally spoke up in the group chat.

It was none other than Professor Wang Heng.

"Lao Liu, have you been in seclusion composing lately, not bothering with the worldly affairs?

I suggest you search on Baidu, and you'll know what's going on."

Liu Min, staring at the group messages, rubbed his bald head. "Lao Wang understands me!"

He knows I've been in seclusion, stayed up so late that my hair is gone.

Wait, it seems I went bald a few years ago.

Bah, it doesn't matter!

What matters is who the authors of these songs are.

'nine provinces unite', composed by Nan Ye.

Who is Nan Ye?

Where did he come from? I have no impression at all!

But honestly, this song is truly a masterpiece!

There probably aren't many people in this group who can compose such grand music.

Unless it's the Top Producer group, then that's another story!

Hmm, give me another five years. In five years, I must break into that group.

Let's look at the next one!

"Huh, it's still Nan Ye!"

The next one?

Good heavens, I looked at several songs in a row, and they were all by this person named Nan Ye.

Who exactly is this person?

Liu Min directly searched for this name, and the information that popped up startled him greatly.

This Nan Ye is actually a young person?

Young people nowadays have this kind of ability?

Liu Min instantly felt as if he had been in seclusion for too long, and the whole world had changed when he came out?

Could it be that one day in seclusion is a year outside?

Soon, he dismissed these unrealistic thoughts.

However, he also understood why no one in the group chat had responded to him just now.

Because none of them composed the songs, who would dare to claim them?

Seeing that he had disrupted the atmosphere in the group chat, Liu Min quickly added: "So, Chairman, why did you call us out?"

Seeing Liu Min's message, Zeng Zhuo @everyone again:

"I believe everyone knows that these songs were composed by this young fellow, Nan Ye.

He's incredibly skilled!

So, the reason I asked everyone to come online today is to discuss the issue of Nan Ye becoming a Top Composer.

Feel free to speak your minds; it's okay.

Oh, right, the small group of Top Producers has already started voting.

Our group needs to speed up too."

Hundreds of people in the group simultaneously felt a sense of "as expected."

They just didn't expect this day to come so quickly.

Professor Wang Heng was the first to speak: "These songs are worthy of the title of Top Composer."

Others also expressed their opinions one after another:

"I think there's no rush; he's too young. He can mature for another two years.

If we give it to him now, we might fear he'll get arrogant and stop researching, which would be detrimental."

"Someone who wants to keep improving will never be limited by a title. If that were the case, such a person would have reached their limit."

"In terms of composition, I am not as good as him! As the saying goes, the skilled are teachers. In our line of work, we never look at age. I think giving it to him is fine."

"His ability is evident. If you don't give it to him, Netizens already recognize him as a Top Composer."

"That makes sense. Actually, everyone already thinks so. Our association is just providing official certification; it doesn't have much practical use."

"..."

Overall, those who agreed were still the majority.

Zeng Zhuo was too lazy to keep watching; such discussion wouldn't yield a result.

"Everyone, quiet down; let's just vote!

The voting results from the Top Producer small group are out.

18 to 3, it has basically passed."

Everyone in this group was stunned, never expecting so many Top Producers to support Nan Ye.

Since the small group had this opinion, what right did these Senior Producers have to object?

Envy was useless; everything still depended on strength.

Finally, over 95% of the people in this group passed it.

The result was very clear.

The Composition Association directly announced to the public:

On December 19th, the association voted to approve Nan Ye as the 49th Top Composer.

We hope you will continue to work hard and become a Top Producer soon.

...

Including Nan Ye, there were a total of 49 Top Composers.

However, Top Producers, considering comprehensive factors like lyrics, composition, arrangement, experience, chart climbing, etc., were much fewer, only 21.

Although difficult, Nan Ye was not far from achieving it!
