At the age of 38, he went to college and his children were classmates.

Chapter 234, Questioning! Old Shen Wins Another Award! (Please Subscribe)

Lin Moxuan didn't react much when he saw messages from other people, but he was surprised when he saw the message from the big boss.

At the same time, he also keenly realized that having a celebrity daughter would not only not have any impact on his career, but might even be helpful!

Times have really changed!
Lin Moxuan couldn't help but sigh inwardly. In his mind, celebrities were no different from actors and were simply not worthy of the attention of higher-ups.

Judging from the top leader's reaction, he seems to really care about his daughter becoming a star. As for the claim that his daughter likes it, that's just a convenient excuse.

Lin Moxuan quickly took the opportunity to chat with the big boss. Because of the little blue bottle, the two had been getting along quite well recently.

The live broadcast of the finals has ended.

The production team arranged a grand celebration banquet.

This season of "Voice of China" has set new records in both ratings and viewership.

The Red Rose Band deserves much credit for achieving such success.

For music talent shows like this, the contestants are crucial to the show's success and popularity!

If all the contestants on the show are unremarkable and lack any distinctive features, the show will hardly attract any attention or viewership. After all, the mentors are all "veterans" in the entertainment industry, and there's nothing new for the audience. At most, only their fans will watch it.

However, the mentors' fans alone cannot support the ratings of a show.

Contestants who were "ordinary people" before participating in the show are more novel to the audience, and there is also a sense of satisfaction in "cultivating" them.

For example, the Red Rose Band was already considered a popular band before participating in "Voice of China". They made some noise, but not much!
However, since appearing on the stage of "Voice of China", the Red Rose Band has become one of the most well-known bands in China.

Regardless of whether their skills are top-notch, their popularity has definitely reached the ranks of top-tier bands.

The most direct manifestation of this is the appearance fee. After becoming a popular band, some performance companies extended invitations to the Red Rose Band, but at that time, the Red Rose Band's appearance fee was basically between 5 and 10 yuan.

Now, the Red Rose Band's appearance fee has skyrocketed to the million-dollar level!
Several music festival organizers extended offers to them, with one festival offering a staggering 200 million!

It's worth noting that the top band music festival prices in China are currently only in the range of 150 million to 200 million yuan!
In other words, thanks to the program "Voice of China", the Red Rose Band's appearance fee rose directly to the level of a top-tier band.

Of course, the appearance fee is currently inflated because "Voice of China" has just ended, and their popularity is at its peak.

As the show ends and the hype cools down, the band's appearance fees should drop to a reasonable range. The exact range will depend on the Red Rose Band's performance at music festivals and other programs.

If their popularity can be maintained or even continue to rise, then their appearance fee will not only not decrease, but may even continue to soar.
Anyway, the Red Rose Band is a hit!

This can be seen from the fact that at the celebration banquet, other athletes and staff members all gathered around to take photos with him.

Shen Qiushan naturally attended the celebration banquet as well, and was the focus of attention at the banquet.

His popularity has little to do with being a member of the Red Rose Band; it's mainly due to his status as a famous writer.

With the huge success of "The Three-Body Problem" and the Nebula Award, an international award, Shen Qiushan has become a top-tier writer in China!
Moreover, prior to this, he had the astonishing feat of becoming the top scorer in the college entrance examination at the age of 38.

In addition, he recently wrote several hit songs, and his popularity and fame are now comparable to those of top-tier celebrities.

"Teacher Shen, let me toast you."

Once Shen Qiushan was finally alone, Yang Nian walked over with a wine glass in her hand.

"Teacher Yang, you're too kind!"

Shen Qiushan smiled and clinked glasses with the pop diva.

He didn't have much contact with Yang Nian, but he had a good impression of this pop diva. She was kind and approachable, and never put on airs, whether at work or in private.

Unlike some celebrities who, before they've even become very famous, start acting like divas!

“Ms. Shen, my agent contacted you before about wanting to buy the copyright to the song ‘Red Rose’. You refused at the time, which I didn’t quite understand at first. Later I found out that you wanted to leave the song to the Red Rose Band.”

As Yang Nian said, the first contact between the two parties was actually for the copyright of "Red Rose", but Shen Qiushan had no intention of selling it, so the cooperation failed.

"I'm currently preparing for a new album and would like to ask Mr. Shen to write a song for me. I wonder if Mr. Shen has time to write one, or if he has finished writing any unpublished works?"

Yang Nian continued, stating her demands.

"I haven't finished writing any songs."

"As for creation, it depends on inspiration."

Shen Qiushan still has two songs, but winning them in the lottery is not an easy task.

Therefore, Shen Qiushan's plan is to leave the remaining two songs to the Red Rose Band.

If they had a few signature songs, the Red Rose Band could live off their music for a lifetime.

Let alone a few songs, there are plenty of bands and singers who live off just one song for their entire lives.

However, Shen Qiushan didn't rule out the possibility that if he actually won a song suitable for Yang Nian during the lottery, he could exchange it for money.

"Teacher Shen, I'll put in line first. I'll take any of your work, anytime."

"As for the price, it will definitely be in accordance with the highest industry standards!"

Yang Nian immediately expressed his opinion.

Despite being a pop diva, the entertainment industry is currently very competitive, with new singers emerging one after another.

Yang Nian also feels a sense of crisis. Although with her current status, she could live off her past achievements for the rest of her life.

But she is the kind of singer who is ambitious and works very hard in her career, so she hopes that her new songs will also be recognized by the public.

Ideally, a song with high popularity should be released every one or two years.

Even though it's very difficult, she's still working towards that goal.

"Okay, if there are any new works, I will send them to Teacher Yang as soon as possible."

Shen Qiushan responded politely, but in fact he quite admired Yang Nian, the queen of the music scene.

This wasn't the first time she had asked him to write a song; Lin Xiamo had conveyed her intentions before.

Now that she's come to ask me to write a song in person, it's quite a show of sincerity.

The celebration banquet is over.

When Shen Qiushan and the others returned home, it was already one o'clock in the morning.

Young people are all night owls, and Shen Yanran and Lin Jiayu were both very energetic, exchanging their experiences at the celebration banquet.

They are also paying attention to the online discussions about the finals of "Voice of China".

Netizens generally agree that the Red Rose Band deserved to win the championship.

In particular, the duet between Shen Qiushan and Lin Xiamo has been widely circulated online, and the comments section of the related videos is almost entirely filled with positive reviews.

However, with fame comes trouble.

Negative voices are not absent either, such as Ding Dasheng, who once "openly criticized" others on a TV show.

Perhaps feeling embarrassed by being ignored by Shen Qiushan during the live broadcast, he left after the program ended.

He didn't even attend the celebration banquet; instead, he went straight home to write his manuscript.

half an hour ago.

He posted a long article on Weibo, explaining in detail why he gave the lowest score of "3 votes" when the professional jury voted.

The reasons are nothing more than what he said during the live broadcast, except that this long article adds a lot of content and details, as well as his own conjecture.

In short, he insisted on his own point of view and took the opportunity to belittle Shen Qiushan. Only by thoroughly discrediting Shen Qiushan could he prove himself right and that those who supported Shen Qiushan were blind.

They lack the ability to think independently.

The truth is quite ridiculous. Ding Dasheng said that others lack the ability to think independently, but he himself was guzzling all kinds of motivational quotes. In his "little essay," he cited many examples of motivational quotes from the internet.

"Brother-in-law, that guy named Ding Dasheng is insulting you online!"

"Dad, he swore so horribly! How can someone be like that? He's like a leech!"

Shen Qiushan was originally planning to go back to his room to take a shower, but after hearing what his sister-in-law and daughter said...

He opened his phone, read Ding Dasheng's short essay, and then laughed.

This guy is no different from Wang Zhixin back then; he's only standing up to criticize himself to get attention and generate traffic.

There's never a shortage of people like this on the internet, let alone a writer like Shen Qiushan who's already somewhat controversial.

Even scientists with outstanding achievements still face criticism on the internet.

Therefore, Shen Qiushan simply laughed off these insults and didn't bother arguing with them.

Because people like Ding Dasheng and Wang Zhixin become more enthusiastic the more you pay attention to them.

Moreover, they were all hoping that Shen Qiushan would pay attention to them!

After all, as long as you pay attention to them, you'll get traffic and attention.

Therefore, the best way to deal with it is to despise it!
When they don't exist at all!

However, to Shen Qiushan's surprise, the online criticism against him grew even louder the next day.

Besides Ding Dasheng, Yang Xijin, an old acquaintance, also joined the chorus of condemnation.

“There’s a really popular music program called ‘Voice of China’ that’s been going on lately. Last night was the finale, and I watched it out of curiosity. To my surprise, I saw the famous writer Shen Qiushan, a top student from Sanjiang University, on stage. This really surprised me.”

"As a famous writer in our country, it is really unbelievable that Teacher Shen would wiggle his butt on the stage."

"I agree with Professor Ding Dasheng's statement. If you're going to make music, then make music properly; if you're going to write a book, then write a book properly; if you're going to do scholarship, then do scholarship properly!"

"Who's as mercenary as him? He'll meddle in everything just to make money. He's really neglecting his duties and wasting his time on trivial pursuits..."

Yang Xijin, the old charlatan, performed as consistently as ever, even though he had been repeatedly proven wrong by Shen Qiushan.

But he remained shameless; whenever there was an opportunity to slander Yin Yang Shen Qiushan, he would inevitably join in.

In other words, no matter who insults Shen Qiushan, Yang Xijin will always stand up for him.

Once someone takes the lead, others follow suit, even though the majority of people support Shen Qiushan.

However, under the instigation of Yang Xijin, Ding Dasheng and others, many people still choose to stand on their side and attack Shen Qiushan.

Just as this public opinion storm was escalating...

A news item suddenly went viral and became a trending topic.

Shen Qiushan wins the Special Prize in the National Undergraduate Electronic Technology Competition

As soon as the news came out.

The internet immediately erupted in uproar.

"Can anyone explain the prestige of this award?"

"Old Shen won another award? But what award is it this time?"

"A competition for college students shouldn't be anything special! It's child's play!"

"Where's Ding Dasheng? Where's Yang Xijin? Wasn't it said that Lao Shen was neglecting his duties and was wasting his time on frivolous pursuits? How come he won an award again!"

"You can hype up a college student's competition? What kind of trash are these people who support Shen Qiushan?"

"It should be said that those who criticize Lao Shen are trash and extremely ignorant! First of all, the National Undergraduate Electronic Technology Competition is a very prestigious competition because it is organized by a unit under the Huazhong University of Science and Technology. Don't be fooled by the name of it being an undergraduate competition; its prestige is higher than many national-level competitions."

"Furthermore, let's talk about the Grand Prize. According to the competition rules, the Grand Prize is not a permanent award. In other words, it is not awarded every year. Only those who participate in an event of an exceptionally high standard can win the Grand Prize!"

"And the organizing committee hasn't awarded the grand prize in six years!"

"Haha, thanks for the explanation, the haters have been slapped in the face again! @Yang Xijin, Lao Yang, come out and have a chat!"

Sanjiang University.

School of Electronic Information.

Inside the office.

Zhao Ruihai was flipping through the study materials as usual. He was upright and aloof.

Although he was highly experienced and capable, he still did not hold any official position, and he had no involvement in any key projects at the school or college.

Moreover, he is one of the few professors with extensive experience who is still teaching freshmen major courses.

Since he didn't have any projects on hand, the school assigned him the task of participating in the "National Undergraduate Electronic Technology Competition".

Zhao Ruihai was responsible for assembling the team and applying for competition projects.

This is a thankless task, because Sanjiang University has always been overshadowed by Tsinghua University and other defense-related universities in the field of electronic information.

It's difficult to achieve any decent results, so the next task means that even if you do a good job, you'll at best achieve nothing.

And if you don't do a good job, you'll be the one to take the blame!
Zhao Ruihai was well aware of his situation, so when he formed a team this year, he specifically selected several freshmen and sophomores.

If the results are too poor, he also has an excuse to train newcomers.

Because he valued Shen Qiushan's abilities, he delegated authority and appointed Shen Qiushan as the team captain, in charge of the competition events.

Shen Qiushan did not disappoint him. From topic selection to project approval, he did not have to worry about anything, and everything went very smoothly.

However, Zhao Ruihai did not have any expectations for the outcome of the competition.

"Old Zhao!"

"Congratulations! You've really gotten the recognition you deserve!"

Just as Zhao Ruihai was focused on reviewing the study materials, a man of similar age walked up to his desk and spoke animatedly.

"what happened?"

Zhao Ruihai looked up and glanced at the other person with a puzzled expression.

"No, you really don't know?"

"Your team won an award!!"

"You won an award?"

Zhao Ruihai's eyes lit up: "Is it the National Undergraduate Electronic Technology Competition?"

"Besides this, you don't have any other matches!"

"That's true."

"Second prize?"

Zhao Ruihai rubbed his hands together, silently marveling to himself: Shen Qiushan is truly a genius; he won an award just by casually tinkering with a project!
