Chapter 209 The Coral Sea

For many people, the deepest memory of this dinner is undoubtedly that Ding Ning left a huge exclamation mark in their hearts with two impromptu songs.

In the eyes of many people, even after a few years, they might still remember Ding Ning's demeanor tonight.

For Ding Ning, his biggest achievement is that "No Difference" was jointly recommended by three directors to Ke Dechang, the chief director with the strongest new voice.

There are three chief directors of sub-competition areas who support it. It is very likely that "No Difference" will become the opening song of the finals of this year's Young Singer Competition, and maybe the strongest new voice will also be used.

Not to mention the strongest new voice, as long as it can be adopted in the finals of the five major competitions, Ding Ning can fully foresee that "No Difference" will be widely spread, at least for a while, then he can just take advantage of it.

So, he made a small calculation in his heart: this song can make Zhang Xuan release a single first, and with the help of the young singer competition, her popularity may be raised to a higher level.

Of course, this is just a plan, and everything has to wait for Ke Dechang to make a decision before discussing it.

Ding Ning bid farewell to everyone, and when he returned home, it was already early ten o'clock.

He took out the key, opened the door, and saw his mother's concerned face: "I'm back."

"Yes." Ding Ning took off his shoes and walked into the room.

"How much wine did you drink?" Hu Huijuan took a pair of slippers from the shoe rack and handed them to Ding Ning, while carefully looking at Ding Ning.

I can smell the obvious smell of alcohol, but my face is not red, which is quite normal, and I am quite energetic, so I should not drink much.

Ding Sicheng also came over from the living room, holding a teacup with steam wafting out in his hand, with the same concern in his eyes.

"I didn't drink much, I just drank fruit juice. Are you still awake?" Knowing that his parents must have stayed up to wait for him to come home, Ding Ning felt warm in his heart.

"Sleep right away, drink some tea." Ding Sicheng smiled and handed the teacup to Ding Ning.

"Yes." Ding Ning put on his slippers, took the teacup, and walked into the room.

A soap opera was playing on the TV, and the voices of men and women changed from time to time.

There are some dried fruits such as walnuts and peanuts on the coffee table, and a newspaper is spread, and there are pillows here and there on the sofa.

The glass door that isolates the room from the balcony reflects the picture on the TV, flickering.

It was a cold night outside, all the buildings were covered in the gloomy and soft night, and there were quite a few rooms with lights on, but against the backdrop of the night, it looked extraordinarily lonely and quiet.

However, the brightly lit interior is filled with a warm atmosphere, which makes Ding Ning, who is used to loneliness, feel at ease.

"Let's go to bed first, and you go to bed early too." When Ding Ning came back, he felt relieved. Ding Sicheng and Hu Huijuan walked towards the bedroom one after the other.

"Okay." Ding Ning nodded to the elder with a smile.

Watching the two elders laughing and shoving into the bedroom, suddenly, he wished very much to have such a person by his side.

Feel full and warm.

This sentence suddenly popped up in his mind, Ding Ning closed his mouth and laughed at himself.

There was a short drama about mother-in-law and daughter-in-law played by parents on TV. After watching it for a while, Ding Ning felt tired. Ding Ning turned off the TV, went back to his bedroom, and turned on the computer.

The news of his retirement has spread widely on the Internet, and related topics have become popular on Tieba and Weibo. When he opened Weibo private messages, most of them were inquiries for confirmation, and many of them were related to him recently. People who come and go.

In fact, the news has already said it with certainty, and there are so many people asking, probably because they can't believe that he will retire when his popularity is in full swing.

Tomorrow, the Young Singer Contest will officially release the news, and he will reply to a few familiar people that he has indeed withdrawn from the competition, and Ding Ning will reply to everyone else without unnecessary delay.

On the one hand, he couldn't reply, and on the other hand, Xue Xianzheng was definitely not happy. Before the official news came out, he, the person involved, would sneak away first.

After casually browsing the posts.ba and Weibo, Ding Ning opened his work mailbox and checked.

Ma Chuyou is managing this mailbox, and Ma Chu has already told him about the contents of several important emails today.

Roughly browsing through the recent emails, Ding Ning found nothing missing or negligent, took the calendar on the table, and added an important item to be done in the note column below: discovering new group members.

Jiang Yu has already agreed to sign with his studio, so he must start investigating and looking for the remaining members of the group as soon as possible.

After all, a combination is not something that a few people put together, it needs running-in, training, etc., and it takes a lot of time.When it is officially launched, half a year may have passed. Naturally, the sooner the members are fixed, the better.

Afterwards, Ding Ning glanced at the to-do list on the calendar.

There are many things to do in the near future, the more important thing is to attend the opening ceremony of the University Music Festival held in November.

It was said to be the opening ceremony of the music festival, but it was actually an awards ceremony. He was shortlisted for the three major awards of the year's most popular album, single and singer.

Although the authority of the College Student Music Festival is limited, and it is far behind the Golden Melody, Golden Needle, and Chinese Gold List, college students are the main audience at present, and it is still necessary to gain popularity.

There are also programs such as "A Date Tonight" on Shenshi TV, "Everyday Up" on Xiangcheng TV, and "Dream Talent" on Zhejiang TV. There are interviews and variety shows, all of which are used to gain popularity. In order to maintain exposure, it is impossible not to participate.

Then there are some important matters for the artists in the studio, many of which require him, who plays the role of the boss, to personally participate.

After memorizing all the to-do items, Ding Ning took from the bedside safe the sheet music book that he had been using to write lyrics and music recently.

This is his lifeblood, and there are fifty or sixty songs in it, basically all of which are popular classics.

Songs for Shao Honggang, he plans to choose from among them.

After some choices, Ding Ning chose "Christmas Knot" sung by Eason Chan.

Shao Honggang's new album is going to be released in December, just in time for Christmas, and he can use the festive marketing. His timbre is close to that of Eason Chan, and the song "Christmas Knot" is very suitable.

Ding Ning re-transcribed the lyrics and music of "Christmas Knot", and Ding Ning copied the lyrics and music of "Coral Sea" sung by Jay Chou and Lara Liang Xinyi.

The most important focus of his next work is to create Zhang Xuan and help Zhang Xuan release an album.

In view of the fact that he currently does not have many network resources, he does not have many exposure opportunities for Zhang Xuan. How to promote Zhang Xuan has been a problem that has been bothering him recently.

How to solve this problem, Ding Ning thought of many ways, taking advantage of his current popularity and exposure, using his popularity to support Zhang Xuan is one of them.

The chorus is obviously the most suitable way to share popularity.

Although the song "Coral Sea" is not as classic as Jay Chou's other chorus song "The Roof", it is more in line with his and Zhang Xuan's timbre.

Of course, Ding Ning didn't plan to release this song rashly, he was waiting for an opportunity to make this song a hit in one fell swoop.
