After the four movements of the "100-Year Period of Destruction" series were released, music professionals started to analyze them.
The Voice of Yanzhou, founded by the Yanzhou Music Association and recognized as the most authoritative media outlet in Yanzhou, had an article written by Dina on its front page.
"Is it an inquiry into life or a reflection on the soul? The four epic movements of the '100-Year Period of Destruction' have triggered a new round of discussion about their techniques. "
Following that, other professionals followed suit with their own analysis.
"A detailed explanation of the golden section in the four movements of the '100-Year Period of Destruction.'"
"In the age of commercialized music, symphonic music is on the verge of a new peak."
In addition to music professionals keeping an eye on the music, there was another group of people keeping an eye on it.
The treatment team formed based on Ming Ye's condition had been waiting for a long time. The four movements formed a whole. From their research point of view, it was a complete treatment. After the release of the fourth movement, they entered a busy phase. Hull virus research had always been a global conundrum. It was like a door that no one could enter. But now, they had a complete key in their hands. How far they could go after opening the door was up to them.
But the people who read the news were music professionals and medical professionals. The rest of the public paid no attention to it. What the public paid attention to was the heated online voting competition and other entertainment topics.
Rising Dragon's Yanzhou branch had set up a voting platform. Silver Wing's Polar Light, Tongshan True Entertainment's Mi Yu, and Neon Culture's Andy Leo were the three most popular candidates.
"Who will win the endorsement deal for 'Battle of the Century?'"
Some people had previously said that even though Silver Wing had launched a virtual idol, the competition would still be a duel between veteran virtual idol powerhouses Neon Culture and Tongshan True Entertainment. But looking at the voting platform, the gap between the three was not that big.
"We can't see the difference now, but wait and see. In two days, the difference will be obvious. Right now, all three major companies are mobilizing their own people to canvass for votes. In two days, when this popularity dies down, we can only rely on their own influence. Although Polar Light became popular because of the four movements, in terms of influence, it is definitely not as strong as the other two," an entertainment media commentator analyzed.
Whether it was Mi Yu or Andy Leo, they had been developing for two years. After two years of accumulation, they were now at the peak of their popularity. Polar Light, on the other hand, could only be considered a novelty, whether it was his image or the way he debuted. He did not conform to the mainstream aesthetic standards.
"Polar Light's fan base is mainly made up of older people or people with rich military experience. Only then will they like this kind of music. Younger people won't like it."
But this kind of statement was slapped in the face in the next moment.
On the voting platform, each of the three candidates had their own comment section.
Silver Wing's operations team was dumbfounded as they looked at the "Polar Light" column on the voting platform.
"Did you hire an Internet Water Army?" an employee in charge of operations asked another employee.
"Nope. Didn't you say to observe the situation before making a decision?"
An employee sitting in front of them turned his head and said to them, "About that, high school students have a long Memorial Day holiday. They're still on vacation, so they have nothing to do."
At this moment, people who were paying attention to the endorsement voting discovered that in Silver Wing's Polar Light's column, there was an exceptionally different style of comments.
"For the new world!"
"For the glory of the Ents!"
"Treants are fearless!"
"The enemy is too cunning. They actually pulled another batch over!"
"Hold on, bro! Qi 'an No. 1 Middle School's second grade team is leading reinforcements! "
"Qi 'an No. 12 Middle School's team is reporting for duty!"
"Yanxi No. 6 Middle School's team is reporting for duty!"
"Eh, I met a schoolmate."
"Those at the back, brothers from Yandong, Yannan, Yanbei, hurry up and catch up!"
"Oh! I've been hit, my fantasy branch dropped! "
"I picked it up! Comrades, catch your fantasy branch! "
…
Watching the unceasing flow of comments from the audience: "…"
Someone sighed. "Every word is acting."
"They're too immersed in their acting. Do they really think they're a Ents with branches all over their bodies? Why don't they say there are flowers blooming on their heads? "
However, the bizarre style of comments continued.
"Magu City, follow me!"
"Where's Jinggang City's team?!"
"Hold on, Gong City's support team will be here soon!"
"Leizhou's support team is reporting for duty!"
"…"
"…"
The sudden appearance of this comment not only stopped the people who were having fun, but it also attracted the attention of the audience and the company.
"Leizhou? Leizhou? "
"Why are people from Leizhou here?!"
At first, they thought it was just a small number of people from Leizhou joining in on the fun, but soon, more and more Leizhou natives appeared in the comments.
"Which Silver Wing superstar is making a move?" someone guessed.
But very quickly, this idea was rejected.
Superstars who crossed continents to make a name for themselves would not easily get involved in such matters. Once they got involved, it would have a greater impact and might even go beyond their control. Companies would not easily play this card when they had painstakingly groomed a world-class star. Besides, the truth was, the company did not have much control over stars of that level. Rather than calling it an employment relationship, it was more of a partnership. The company could not force it.
Therefore, this type of voting was usually limited to the same continent. Those who participated in the canvassing for votes were all A-list and below celebrities of their companies. In terms of influence, there was still a limit. In addition to the exclusion system of each continent, people from other continents would generally not participate.
But what was going on now?
"Why are people from Leizhou here?"
Neon Culture asked the Rising Dragon branch about this. Was this cross-continent canvassing not a violation of the rules?
The Rising Dragon branch in Yanzhou replied that the rules never restricted the region. The Yanzhou voting platform was not restricted to outsiders. People from other continents could log in, no limit.
If you had the ability to canvass worldwide, the Rising Dragon branch would raise both hands in approval. That would also boost the magazine's popularity.
Soon, everyone found out that Wireless Media was canvassing for votes in Leizhou.
Media outlets in the industry began to speculate that Silver Wing Media and Wireless Media of Leizhou must have some secret deal.
At the same time, Wireless Media of Leizhou contacted Silver Wing to discuss a collaboration.
It was not a music deal. Wireless Media was a film company and did not want to disrupt the Leizhou music industry. What they were looking for now was a film collaboration.
Wireless Media had already started preparing for the next film, but Zaro was not trying to boost anyone's popularity. He was trying to curry favor with his great-grandfather.
The third movement had given him a shortcut, so this time, Zaro was serious. He had spent a lot of money to hire a well-known screenwriter and director. He planned to make a film that depicted war and glorified heroes. He would also star in it. He was currently honing his acting skills. At the same time, he instructed his company to discuss a collaboration with Silver Wing. Hadn't Polar Light just debuted? A film would surely be produced. Why not collaborate with Wireless Media?
Generally speaking, Leizhou film companies would promote actors from their own continent. Whether it was a real person or a virtual idol, it was easier to gain audience support with actors from their own continent. After all, local actors had fan bases and could easily pull up box office sales. However, Zaro's goal now was not to make money. He wanted to curry favor with his great-grandfather. After the fourth movement of the "100-Year Period of Destruction" series was completed, Zaro used some means to obtain all four movements of the "100-Year Period of Destruction" series and sent them to the old master. The more he showed his face in front of the old master, the more benefits he would receive.
Of course, he would do whatever pleased his great-grandfather. His great-grandfather did not mind people from other continents. Naturally, Fang Zhao did not mind either. At most, he would earn less or lose money. As long as he could make his presence known in front of his great-grandfather, his goal would be achieved.
Helping to canvass for votes was a sign of Wireless Media's sincerity.
While it was bustling outside, Fang Zhao ignored it. He sat in his office and wrote down his thoughts on composing, as well as some techniques and insights he had gained while composing.
He had already written some. Today, he would finish the rest. As for the rest, he would think about it later.
When he was done, Fang Zhao sent the document to Xue Jing.
Elsewhere in Qi'an City, Xue Jing was working on an analysis of the fourth movement. When he heard the notification, he opened the document Fang Zhao had sent. He was stunned when he finished reading.
Xue Jing wanted Fang Zhao to talk about composing concepts and sources of inspiration. He hoped that Fang Zhao could impart some of his experience so that more people could come into contact with this style of music and learn some techniques. How much to impart was up to Fang Zhao. But Xue Jing had not expected Fang Zhao to write so much!
A textbook like this would have only about 100,000 words, or at most 200,000. The textbook would also have music scores and other analysis diagrams. For this textbook, which was still in the process of being compiled, Xue Jing had only intended to write 100,000 words. He wanted to write about new things that had not been mentioned before and only briefly mention old things.
But the document Fang Zhao had sent was 30,000 words! That was almost a third of Xue Jing's estimated word count. Furthermore, it was all about Fang Zhao's composing experience and composing techniques. There was not the slightest bit of ambiguity. He even combined some classical techniques and explained in detail how to fuse classical music with new instruments.
Xue Jing immediately contacted Fang Zhao after reading it.
"Fang Zhao, do you know what all this means?!"
If one did not want to teach, one could open a paid training class and take in a few apprentices. That would be a sizable extra income. That was what many people did. But Fang Zhao had actually written all this out! Putting these things into this unpopular teaching material that would be released to the public in the future would not bring Fang Zhao much income.
"I know," Fang Zhao said. "Is there any problem with the content?"
"No, I just wanted to confirm. Do you really want to include all this in the textbook?" Xue Jing asked again.
"Whether or not to include it, the decision is in your hands."
Fang Zhao knew what Xue Jing meant, but he still chose to make his experiences and techniques public.
He did not know how long he could stay in this world. When he opened his eyes to look at the world again, he was grateful.
He had thought about it during the end of days. If possible, he really wanted to pass on every single note he composed. If possible, who would not want to live longer?
This life was a hard-won accident to begin with. Not everyone could have such an opportunity.
He would use all the experiences and techniques he had learned in this life to leave behind in the textbook. He hoped that in the future, on his tombstone, he would not forget to write "A composer."
Xue Jing took a deep breath when he received Fang Zhao's confirmation.
"... I understand."
After ending the call, Xue Jing was silent for a while. Then, he moved Fang Zhao's name from the column of "Contributing Editor" and placed it in the empty column of "Deputy Editor."
On the other side, Fang Zhao received a message from Duan Qianji shortly after his call with Xue Jing.
