Chapter 280: Chapter 262: Maestro’s Standard_l
“Awesome!”
That’s what Lan Yan’s agent was thinking, and what he was saying, of course, after the song ended.
However, this description seems quite out of place, so he coughed awkwardly and said,
“Sorry, I’m a bit emotional. This song is just too great!”
Zheng Jing smiled, her eyes sparkling as she looked at Lin Yuan, “Using the chorus as the beginning, boldly stepping forward in several consecutive progressions, the span is low but the effect of the tune is quite distinctive, it can catch the audience’s ears at the fastest speed. The natural utilization of variations and needle-threading techniques after that. The few big jumps plus the natural and melodious transition at the end, and the strict repetition used in the conclusion. Despite the song’s climax coming one after another, it doesn’t make people feel tired… Hmm, indeed awesome.”
“???”
Lan Yan’s agent was dumbfounded.
What’s the difference between what you and I are saying?
Isn’t it all awesome?
Lan Yan:”…”
He felt that his own assessment would be redundant, so he simply echoed,
“Awesome!”
After saying that, Lan Yan and his agent looked at each other, their emotions becoming complicated.

Originally, they intended to reject Xian Yu’s song.
Normally, no one would refuse Xian Yu’s song, and even would accept it with pleasure, including the King and Queen of Singing.
But this is a song for the anniversary celebration after the merger of Qin and Qi, it has official endorsement, it will make the Blue Star news, plus the renowned Battle of the Gods in December is always intense, Lan Yan has to play the safest and most effective card!
Because this song is really important!
They thought that this card would be one from the company’s Maestro,
Teacher Zheng Jing.
In this industry.
Below the gold standard, there are both strong and weak composers, but Maestro is the source and answer to all music problems!
Even people who don’t understand music know what choice to make. However, after listening to this song “Red Sun,” Lan Yan incredibly began to doubt something he had never doubted before- – Can Zheng Jing’s song be better than this one by Xian Yu?
No, this is no longer a mere doubt, but it’s approaching certainty:
Zheng Jing’s song probably won’t be as good as this one!
Maestro is the answer to all music questions because Maestro’s works are always the best, but the essence of the problem returns to the work— Lin Yuan is not a Maestro, but perhaps he has outdone himself this time.
In short, “Red Sun” is a work worthy of a Maestro!
This also aligns with Xian Yu’s “Maestro Junior” status.
Being able to write a work of this level, it’s unexpected, but it also makes sense. Otherwise, why would everyone say Xian Yu has the potential to be a Maestro? Even for the Maestro, it’s not easy to come up with a song like this!
As a singer at the King level, Lan Yan still has this level of judgment.
Didn’t you see?
Even Zheng Jing herself was stunned, giving the plain and simple assessment: “Awesome”.
What can be done now?
“Red Sun” is certainly a song Lan Yan wants, he’s even somewhat eager for it.
But before he was just thinking about how to tactfully reject Xian Yu, yet now the situation has reversed.
He’s actually starting to worry about how he’s going to reject Zheng Jing next…
Oh my God!
Rejecting the Maestro!
Lan Yan never dared to think about it before!
Of course, it’s not a total rejection.
If Zheng Jing’s song is not as good as “Red Sun”, then for this anniversary and the hit song in December, Lan Yan can only choose Xian Yu.
Just as he had previously considered and deliberated about Xian Yu.
Zheng Jing’s song, he could only find a way to take it, and then release it next year?
But…
Will Teacher Zheng Jing agree?
Will I offend Teacher Zheng Jing?
I can’t help but say, this entangled process is a bit painful!
Same worry, it’s just that the object has changed from Xian Yu to Teacher Zheng Jing.
Too hard.
Usually, these are the rare opportunities I come across.
But today, how the hell did mountains of gold and silver appear all together!
It seemed like he could see the difficulty Lan Yan faced.
Zheng Jing suddenly said: “Lan Yan, use Xian Yu’s song for this anniversary celebration. The quality of this song ‘Red Sun’ is indeed better than the song I prepared for you this time.”
“Teacher Zheng Jing…”
Lan Yan suddenly felt a bit ashamed.
It seemed like he had underestimated Maestro’s magnanimity.
Zheng Jing laughed and said: “My song is not fully composed yet, I will send it to you next month. You can release it next year. It just so happens, I do not intend to pit this song against that guy.”
“That guy?”
Lan Yan was somewhat curious.
Zheng Jing glanced at Lan Yan: “The person who composed the song for Fei Yang this time is Yin Dong. In the entire Starlight, the only composer who dares to say he is better than Yin Dong is Yang Zhongming.”
“Yin Dong…”
Lan Yan’s face changed a bit, then he laughed and said: “We have ‘Red Sun’, doesn’t mean we’re necessarily worse off.”
“If it’s this song.”
Zheng Jing seemed to agree with Lan Yan’s judgment, then fixated on Lin Yuan, suddenly saying: “Strive for Song King and Queen a few years from now. After all, it’ll keep getting harder.”
Lan Yan’s complexion shifted slightly.
Lan Yan’s manager was also staring wide-eyed.
The implication behind Zheng Jing’s remarks clearly indicated that she considered Xian Yu as a potential Maestro Junior!
Previously, although the company always touted Lin Yuan as “Junior Maestro”, no top-tiered maestros have actually expressed their views.
And today.
Zheng Jing unequivocally expressed her optimism:
She believes that Lin Yuan indeed has potential to become a Maestro in the future, otherwise, she wouldn’t have said such a thing!
Lin Yuan didn’t understand, he just nodded along.
The following matter was resolved smoothly.
Zheng Jing voluntarily withdrew, hand over ‘Red Sun’ to Lan Yan.
The actual contract will be signed later on, at least wait till after the song is reviewed, but that’s just a matter of time.
After adding each other on communication apps, they all left.
Lin Yuan then returned to his office, left to face Gu Dong’s shocked gaze—
It worked!
It really worked!
Zheng Jing, as a Maestro, even voluntarily withdrew from this Qin Qi anniversary celebration. Doesn’t that mean she will participate in the December battle?
That is December!
Where demons run amok! The battle of all gods!
In December where the King of Songs and the Queen of Songs, as well as Maestros will be present…
Lin Yuan didn’t understand Gu Dong’s thinking, he curiously asked: “What did Teacher Zheng Jing mean by making me produce a Song King and Queen?”
“You don’t know?”
Gu Dong was surprised, then explained: “Maestro is an honorific used within the industry for top-tier composers. However, behind this honorific, there’s a standard, just like gold medals, which is to have fostered a King of Singing and a Queen of Singing, at that point it’s considered having reached the standard.” “Foster a King of Singing and a Queen of Singing?”
Lin Yuan understood the challenge involved in making a singer become the King of Singing.
“Indeed, to foster a King of Singing and a Queen of Singing, or two Kings of Singing, or alternatively two Queens of Singing also works. Anyway, once successful, they reach the level of a Maestro. For instance, Teacher Zheng Jing, she fostered a King of Singing and a Queen of Singing. But she’s not the most amazing Maestro.”
Lin Yuan asked: “Such as?”
Gu Dong replied: “There are two other standards as well. By meeting any of them, one can also become a Maestro. One is to win the Music Sage award that the Music Festival has specially set up for composers. This award has been vacant for several years now, so you can infer its difficulty. The other method is the most brutal, which is to claim the Grand Slam in a single season. The difficulty is the highest. Up till now, only three people in Blue Star have managed to do it.”
Lin Yuan was surprised: “Grand Slam…”
Gu Dong sighed: “Yeah, the Grand Slam, do you know what the concept of the Grand Slam in a season is? It’s equal to winning the championship twelve months in a row over a year. This is not something an average person can achieve!”
Lin Yuan nodded his head.
To get the Grand Slam, how much do you have to stake on it….
