Jiang Shi didn't really care about the little thoughts between these "little friends".
And Ning Yufei seemed to just want to get to know her.
It's just that some people around them naturally compared the two of them.
"I didn't realize that my poem is quite famous."
"More than famous..." Tao Zhenzhen was about to say something, but immediately changed her mind.
"Hmm?" Seeing the little girl's secretive look, Jiang Shi couldn't help but pull her little face and asked: "Are you hiding any news from me?"
"Professor Xia specifically asked me not to tell you." Tao Zhenzhen's eyes dodged.
"Hurry up!" Jiang Shi kneaded the little girl's doughy face up and down.
"Someone was spreading yesterday that the poem "To the Oak" you wrote was written by someone else, not by you."
"Huh?" Jiang Shi let go of Tao Zhenzhen.
Although she was indeed standing on the shoulders of giants, she memorized it sentence by sentence. If there was no credit, there was still hard work!
Needless to say, someone must be jealous of her results, so these words were spread.
Thinking of what Ning Yufei said to him just now, Jiang Shi also tasted something else.
This is a secret attack on her!
However, Jiang Shi was too lazy to explain. Anyway, if no one can confirm it, it is just a rumor.
After a while, the staff of the venue came over.
"Hello, classmate Jiang Shi, a few judges want to talk to you."
Jiang Shi followed the visitor and walked to the judges' seat.
Some other contestants were also pulled here. Being named by a group of judges shows that they are students with considerable strength.
In addition to Cai Linshan, Zhan Ping and Weng Zhonghe who were present yesterday, there were many more people.
There was also a seat with a sign for the special guest on the table.
Looking over, Jiang Shi saw a familiar face at first glance.
"Editor-in-Chief Xiang, why are you here too?"
Xiang Yuan raised his hand, waved at Jiang Shi, and smiled back.
"Miss Jiang, you look surprised?"
Jiang Shi thought about it carefully. As the editor-in-chief of Story Magazine, Xiang Yuan's status and position should be quite high.
However, she still didn't quite believe that such a busy man would come to visit the competition.
"I just happened to pass by and join in the fun." Xiang Yuan explained with a smile.
"You didn't say that yesterday." On the other side, a man in a suit and tie came over and said, "Hello, classmate Jiang Shi, I am Ye Qiuyu, the president of Juvenile Characters Publishing House."
Jiang Shi shook hands with the man, and then remembered that this was the magazine that had asked him to write for her before!
"Hello, President Ye, I wonder if you are satisfied with my short story?"
"It is a very excellent work. I wonder if Jiang Shi has any intention to cooperate with our "Youth Characters" in the future?"
Ye Qiuyu said this to Jiang Shi, but Miss Jiang felt that his eyes were not on her.
Xiang Yuan raised his eyebrows. Poaching in front of her was intolerable.
"Ahem, Jiang, you should go to the judges first. They should have something to talk to you about."
"Oh, President Ye, sorry, we will talk later."
Jiang Shi walked towards the position of the judges.
"This girl is quite mature in her behavior. If it weren't for her age, I would probably think she was a college student."
Ye Qiuyu was quite surprised. When Jiang Shi left, he barely realized that this was a girl in the first year of high school.
"Put this aside for now. You've heard the rumors about "To the Oak," right?" Xiang Yuan said, pointing his finger.
"If it were someone else, I might be suspicious, but she's Jiang Lai, a writer who can write "The Lamb." Would she plagiarize someone else's poem? How is that possible!"
Ye Qiuyu shook her head and continued, "You and I know the older generation best. They like to use their seniority to suppress others. If a newcomer comes to the fore at this time, they will definitely be questioned and challenged."
"You and I have come this far, haven't we?"
Xiang Yuan was silent for a moment, and then said, "Times are changing, people are changing, and the old rules they follow should be changed."
"It depends on how much waves these newcomers can make."
Ye Qiuyu shrugged. They are more businessmen. Businessmen don't look at age and seniority, but at strength and sales.
On the other side, several judges asked Jiang Shi about her creative ideas and her considerations on the use of words through her poems.
Jiang Shi spoke eloquently, and sometimes even chatted with the judges.
Many of the contestants in front and behind Jiang Shi looked over.
Only then did she realize that there was someone standing in front of her.Isn't it Ning Yufei?
…
Ji Shijie was originally talking about his "great creation".
As he was talking, he found that no one was paying attention to him.
Everyone's attention was attracted by Jiang Shi behind him.
He couldn't stand this behavior of stealing his limelight!
And he was originally planning to show off in front of Ning Yufei, but now he failed.
So he walked over with momentum, glanced at the poem written by Jiang Shi, and said: "Where did you copy it again!"
Jiang Shi tilted his head and glanced at him. Is this guy deliberately looking for trouble?
As soon as this was said, the voices around him became quiet. This has always been a rumor, and no one would insist on saying it.
But now someone brought it up directly, and the atmosphere suddenly became subtle.
Other judges also came over, including Zhan Ping and Cai Linshan.
"Shijie, some things can't be said casually, and evidence must be provided."
Weng Zhonghe spoke at this time. Plagiarism is a big problem for the competition.
Zhan Ping nodded and said, "It doesn't matter. Since someone has questioned it, we can't just fool around."
Jiang Shi narrowed his eyes. This old man didn't seem to have any good intentions.
If so, she can just pick anyone and question the other party's plagiarism?
Next, should she start to set a self-proof trap?
"I can vouch for classmate Jiang Shi. The two poems are her original works."
Xiang Yuan's voice came from the other side.
"Editor-in-Chief Xiang?" Zhan Ping's face turned cold. At this time, another troublesome person jumped out.
"I can do it too. Classmate Jiang Shi's level is obvious to all. She is an author who has deep cooperation with our "Youth Characters." Ye Qiuyu followed closely.
Cai Linshan looked at the two of them, and for a moment he didn't understand why these two people suddenly stood up to support Jiang Shi.
"As the author of The Silence of the Lambs, Jiang Shi's literary background has surpassed the level of ordinary professional writers."
Xiang Yuan smiled at Jiang Shi and said something that instantly made everyone explode.
"The Silence of the Lambs, isn't this the serialized novel that was very popular before?"
"My dad has been reading it recently and has not missed any issue."
"Speaking of which, I am still waiting for the finale of The Lambs."
"This novel was written by Jiang Shi, it's impossible!"
The students present immediately talked about it.
"Keep your voice down, I know this person, he is the boss of Story, how can it be fake!"
"Hiss, I actually competed on the same stage with such a big guy, I think I'm making a profit."
"I really want to go up and ask for an autograph, and by the way, ask when The Lambs will be published as a physical book, I must buy a copy for my collection."
Cai Linshan looked at Xiang Yuan's expression and immediately understood the reason. He didn't expect that Jiang Shi was not an unknown person.
Behind her stood the huge mountain of "Story".
Zhan Ping also realized at this time that he had chosen the wrong target this time, and could only retreat to the back in shame.
Ji Shijie was a little confused for a while as he watched the situation turn around in an instant.
No, why did they start to flatter him, when he was clearly standing at the commanding heights before.
But at this time, no one paid attention to him, the jumping clown, and everyone's eyes fell on Jiang Shi.
"There is no comparison. We are still playing in the amateur competition, and they are already killing in the professional group."
Fortunately, there were several judges in charge, so the scene did not become a mess.
...
"Jiang Jiang, what's going on, why do they all look at you like this."
Since Jiang Shi came back from the judges' group, people nearby cast curious eyes from time to time.
Tao Zhenzhen was very unaccustomed to the feeling of being the focus of the whole audience.
"You ask me, how do I know? You have to ask them."
Jiang Shi rolled her eyes and didn't want to say more. Anyway, she had nothing to do in the end.
With two big guys supporting her, others had to weigh their qualifications and whether they were qualified enough to jump out and question.
So the matter was finally left unresolved, and no one dared to publicize it. They just spread gossip quietly.
Jiang Shi's poems were also displayed as expected, and I think he should have won a lot of additional points.
As for tomorrow's team competition, Jiang Shi has prepared to slack off, focusing on eating and drinking for free.
...
After the game, Jiang Shi found Bai Jingran. Their plan today was to take the subway to the Forbidden City for a tour.
Then go to a dessert shop that Ranran knows to try.
Mi Wanqing and Huang Qiqi had already set off and waited for them near the Forbidden City.
The subway in Yanjing is well-connected, and some are circular loops. It is easy to get lost without a familiar person to lead the way.
FortunatelyWith Jiang Shi, a little expert in finding the way, the group followed the signs and finally arrived at their destination.
Walking out of the subway station, there is a small green park.
You can see many people singing here, and some are entertaining themselves, full of musical atmosphere.
It is not time for the square dance aunties to go out yet, and the songs are all soft.
In the crowd, Jiang Shi saw a different figure at a glance.
The Piaoliang sister radar inherited in her body is telling her that there is something ahead!
I saw a girl with dark purple hair, fashionable clothes, holding a guitar diagonally, playing and singing.
"It sounds good." Jiang Shi nodded to the rhythm.
Bai Jingran listened carefully and said, "I don't know much about guitar, but the pitch is very good, and the song is not bad."
Jiang Shi took out the change left from buying candied haws yesterday from his pocket and put it in the instrument box in front of the purple-haired girl.
"Thank you!"
The purple-haired girl thanked the two in not very standard Chinese.
Bai Jingran and Jiang Shi looked at each other.
Seeing the surprised expressions of the two, the purple-haired girl also explained with a smile:
"Ah, I'm from Japan, Miyazaki Chinatsu, my name, you can just call me Chinatsu."
Chinatsu's Chinese was obviously not very fluent, and she could only speak word by word.
"Thank you for your sponsorship."
...
"Jiang Jiang, Ranran, this way!" Mi Wanqing waved her hand, and she and Huang Qiqi found a Starbucks to rest.
But when she saw that there was someone following Jiang Shi, Mi Wanqing narrowed her eyes and pushed Huang Qiqi next to her.
"Oh no, Jiang Jiang brought back a new woman again!"
Huang Qiqi was browsing her phone, and looked up in confusion: "What did you say?"
...
"This is Miyazaki Chinatsu, a Japanese, street singer, we met on the way here."
Jiang Shi explained to the two.
"Hello!" Chinatsu greeted the two.
She had a bright smile and very neat teeth, which always reminded Jiang Shi of the laughing emojis she usually sent.
"Wow, Japanese, is your home in Tokyo? I heard that the cherry blossoms are very beautiful. Also, do you really eat very little? People from the Northeast won't be hungry when they go to your place..."
Mi Wanqing immediately became interested, and her words were like machine guns, which immediately made Qianxia dizzy.
"Qianxia still speaks Chinese poorly, Wanwan, speak slowly."
Bai Jingran reminded her from the side.
"Oh, so, what is this? Violin?" Mi Wanqing pointed to the box behind Qianxia and asked.
"This is a guitar, my instrument, play it."
Qianxia put the box down, reached out and patted it, looking quite proud.
"My dream is to form my own band and become an idol."
Although she stumbled in Chinese, several people still roughly understood what she meant.
Jiang Shi thought of the anime he had watched and asked with some doubts: "Why did you come to China? Wouldn't it be easier to find people willing to form a band with you in Japan?"
In China, this kind of band playing music is probably the same as rap in the eyes of parents, and they are all classified as not doing their job properly.
It can't even be called a job, it's the same level as singing in a bar.
But in Japan, there are many underground singers, the atmosphere is better than in China, and there are also some agencies that specialize in digging out underground artists.
No matter how you look at it, it's much simpler than in China where you are unfamiliar with the place.
Qianxia sighed and slowly explained: "Because the idol competition in Japan is too fierce, if you are not particularly outstanding, or if you are super powerful, you can only be an underground singer for life."
"And there are not many people in Japan. Even if you become famous, your fans are pitifully few."
"China is so big that even if you make very niche music, you can attract a lot of fans, and this is a huge blue ocean. As long as I succeed, I will be a big star!"
Qianxia's eyes were shining, as if she had seen herself on the stage.
Jiang Shi touched his chin, and what he said was right. In China, with the number of people, it is difficult to have any niche category.
A star with 10,000 or 20,000 fans in Japan may be considered a little famous.
In China, if you don't have hundreds of thousands or millions of fans, you are embarrassed to say that you are famous.
But the reality is often skinny. The music industry that China really does is also very competitive.
Jiang Shi thought of the song "Musician" that he composed. Quality alone is far from enough.
However, didn't Shao Fu say before that he has a sister who runs a music company and wants to meet her...
