The straight man in the entertainment circle

After the song "Unity is Strength" was sung, everyone became quiet and waited for the leader to review the team and speak.

Zheng Guanglin, the president of Yan University, looked at Wen Yan curiously: "Mr. Wen, we have little knowledge. I don't think we have heard of this military song, but it sounds very powerful. Unity is strength, and the lyrics are good."

Zhang Dongyuan and An Xiaoxi, who were traveling with him, also nodded in agreement.

Wen Yan is in his fifties this year, but he started singing military songs at the age of eighteen and is famous throughout the country. Even though he is about the same age, Zheng Guanglin still calls him Wen Lao to show respect.

Zheng Guanglin thought it was Wen Yan's new song, so these words were considered to be an introduction.

Wen Yan was a little shocked when he heard the song "Unity is Strength" while sitting on the stage. He smiled and said: "This is the first time I have heard this song. It is really good."

"Isn't it your song?" Zheng Guanglin was a little surprised.

"No..." After Wen Yan finished speaking, he called Zhao Ping.

"What...is this song called?"

"Report, this song was written by a trainee named Lin Li during this military training. It's called "Unity is Strength". We thought it was very good, so we used it to report."

"Lin Li?"

Naturally, Wen Yan didn't recognize Lin Li. He looked at Zheng Guanglin and said with a smile, "Yanda is indeed full of talented people. It seems I can retire early."

Zheng Guanglin said: "I have heard of this student. He is a special admissions student who is engaged in music. Although this song is not bad, compared with your songs, it is really overestimating his abilities."

Zhang Dongyuan nodded and said, "Yes, your songs will still be sung in a hundred years."

An Xiaoxi sat at the end. She naturally had no say among these people, but after hearing what they said, she didn't quite agree with them.

An Xiaoxi didn't understand music, but the song "Unity is Strength" might not be a big deal when sung alone, but the chemical reaction after the chorus was so great. Hearing the chorus of thousands of people, An Xiaoxi was inexplicably excited.

This song can make her feel like rushing to the battlefield with blood all over her body. Such a feeling is difficult to find in Wen Yan's songs.

After hearing what Zheng Guanglin and Zhang Dongyuan said, Wen Yan laughed and said: "As the times move forward, it is a good thing to have new songs to inject. I think this song is very good."

After a few people finished chatting and everyone lined up, Zhao Ping ran to the foot of the podium.

"Reporting to all leaders, the military training formation is completed, please give instructions!"

Wen Yan glanced at it and said, "Let's get started!"

"yes!"

Zhao Ping turned back in a standard manner and began to run back and forth, directing the performance.

After more than two hours of military training performance, Wen Yan and Zheng Guanglin had another talk, and everyone lined up in an orderly manner to have dinner.

Lin Li was eating when Feng Chao came.

"Lin Li!"

"Here!" Lin Li stood up.

"Come here!" After Feng Chao said that, he turned around and walked outside.

Lin Li looked at his rice bowl helplessly. He hadn't finished eating yet. Feng Chao asked him to go out, but he didn't say what he was doing. Do you want to bring the food with you?

Lin Li didn't have time to think too much and just followed him with the bowls and chopsticks.

Follow Feng Chao to the third floor of the cafeteria.

The third floor has been closed these days, because the military training is only for freshmen, and two floors are enough.

Unexpectedly, the third floor was open today.

Empty hall, neat tables, bright lights.

Seeing that there was no one around, Lin Li didn't know what to do, so he took the bowl and chopsticks and started eating.

After a while, several guards stood at the top of the stairs, and then Wen Yan, Zheng Guanglin and others all walked up one after another.

Naturally, Lin Li recognized Wen Yan. Zheng Guanglin gave a speech in the afternoon, and Lin Li also knew that he was the president of Yanda University. Lin Li did not recognize the others.

When Lin Li saw them coming up, he also stood up, but he was still chewing the bun in his mouth.

"Why did you still eat it? I wanted you to eat it with us..."

When Wen Yan saw Lin Li, he laughed. He enunciated his words in a clear and round tone, which was indeed a voice that could only come from long-term practice of bel canto singing. His smile was very kind, not as dignified and serious as someone of his high rank.

Lin Li also saw Wen Yan singing at some major parties when he was a child, but when he grew up, he rarely attended those parties, so that in Lin Li's impression, Wen Yan was still very young.

"Hello, Teacher Wen." Lin Li said very respectfully.

Wen Yan looked at Lin Li and said, "Sit down."

Wen Yan and Zheng Guanglin sat down opposite Lin Li, while the others sat aside.

Lin Li didn't know what they were going to do, so he straightened up and didn't dare to eat anymore.

The cook immediately served their meals.

Lin Li took a look and saw that they had the same standards as the students, that is, the steamed buns were hotter, the braised pork had a better color, and the egg drop soup had more eggs. There was no difference.

"Let's eat first." Wen Yan said.

Zheng Guanglin said to Lin Li: "You want to eat too, would you like to ask the cook to add some for you?"

"Oh, no need."

Seeing that they didn't talk about anything, Lin Li ignored them and ate first before talking.

After eating for a while, everyone finished eating. Wen Yan wiped his mouth and looked at Lin Li: "Are you still used to eating here?"

"Very good." Lin Li said.

Zheng Guanglin said: "I have nothing else to do with calling you here. I just want to ask you, Mr. Wen, whether you have the copyright to the song "Unity is Strength", right?"

Lin Li understood the reason why they were looking for him.

"It's in my hand." Lin Li said.

Wen Yan smiled and said: "I listened to your song this afternoon. It's very good, very powerful, and it can unite people. So...if there is no problem with the copyright, I'm going to ask the higher-ups for permission to release your song." , include it in the songs that the troops must learn, let soldiers from all over the country learn it, sing it during training, and then don’t sell it.”

Zheng Guanglin said: "If this is passed, it will be a great honor, and our school will also benefit from it."

"Principal Zheng, you are being humble. You, Yan University, have produced many masters throughout the ages and left many chapters. Even if Lin Li's song is included in the must-sing songs in the army, it is not worth mentioning to Yan University."

Zheng Guanglin smiled and said: "That...at least it is setting a precedent and filling a gap."

"Haha, that's true."

Wen Yan looked at Lin Li: "I wonder what you think, Lin Li?"

"Of course I am willing," Lin Li said.

"Do you have any requirements in terms of copyright fees?" Wen Yan asked.

"No, this song is given directly to you, I don't want a penny."

Although Lin Li has never been in the military, he has a natural respect for soldiers, and it is useless for Lin Li to use this song. There is no problem in giving it to them.

"That's not okay. We can't take the masses' money, let alone a song. If you don't have any special requirements, I'll submit the application. If it passes, we will settle the settlement for you according to the market price, okay?" Wen Yan said.

After hearing what he said, Lin Li respected the soldiers even more and did not dare to shirk it.

"Okay, it's up to you."

Seeing that Lin Li agreed, Wen Yan nodded with satisfaction and asked, "How old are you this year?"

"Seventeen, soon eighteen."

Wen Yan sighed to Zheng Guanglin: "You are young and promising."

Zheng Guanglin also looked at Lin Li and said, "I also know a little about you. There is a saying from Yanda that I will give to you today, which is: Today you are proud of Yanda, and tomorrow Yanda will be proud of you."

This sentence is widely circulated in Yanda. Zheng Guanglin naturally talks about it often and has said it to countless students.

But that’s all I can say. Over the past 100 years since the founding of Yanda, masters have appeared in various fields. At Yanda, both leaders and ordinary students regard these masters as part of Yanda.

There are so many things and people that Yanda is proud of. The pride of Yanda is never a certain person, but his century-old accumulation and status in the hearts of the people. No matter how many masters there are, one person cannot compare to the entire Yanda. of.

The proud Yan Da will not feel lucky just because of the appearance of a certain person.

Therefore, everyone knows that "Today you are proud of Yan University, and tomorrow Yan University will be proud of you." Everyone knows that it is just a statement to motivate students.

Zheng Guanglin said this to Lin Li naturally out of motivation, but Lin Li didn't know how to answer. After thinking for a while, he said seriously:

"Will do."
