"But what?" Fang Shuyao asked.

"Tangtang, please don't be reluctant. If they really do this, we will become the target of criticism as the favorites to win the championship, so we must withdraw from the competition."

"I know." Lu Wantang said helplessly, "I'm not that stupid."

What she meant was that the organizers were official after all, how could they be so confused?

So the host must not have finished speaking.

At this time, the barrage in the live broadcast room had exploded, and everyone thought that the organizer was crazy and wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to hype.

Fortunately, after the host announced the arrangements for the next round of round-robin matches word by word, he mentioned the major earthquake that had occurred.

After expressing regret, concern and wishes for the disaster area, he also explained why the organizers did not suspend the competition:

"The Tri-Continental Music Association will donate all the proceeds from the six months following the release of all the songs in the 6-to-4 round-robin tournament to disaster relief and reconstruction in the name of the college league."

This means that the more revenue the songs released by the league players earn, the more the association will donate.

"At the same time, this round-robin match will be held in the name of a 'charity gala', and all the funds raised during the match and the proceeds from ticket sales will be used for disaster relief."

After the host announced this, the audience's reaction was finally not that big.

Fang Shuyao also breathed a sigh of relief.

"I thought the competition was either suspended or the organizers were crazy! I didn't expect that they would find another way to turn the competition into a charity gala!"

“Moreover, the contestants were not asked to donate all the proceeds from the songs, but the association spent the money on its own.”

Lu Wantang smiled and said, "The contestants are all students, how can I take advantage of them?"

If the contestants were really allowed to sing for free, people would definitely accuse them of moral kidnapping or something like that.

Furthermore, if the organizer, as an official organization, is so stingy, who would be willing to participate in the college league in the future?

Fang Shuyao said "oh", then she thought of something and suddenly sat up:

"Wanxing and I are already public figures. If we have to perform, all the proceeds will be donated."

Lu Wantang hummed.

She already had this idea and was planning to tell Fang Shuyao about it when the time came.

After all, the round-robin tournament among the six teams only consists of fifteen matches, and they may not all have the opportunity to play.

The three days after the knockout rounds are still the time the league gives composers to create.

During these three days, the hottest topics were all related to the earthquake, and rescue operations in various regions have been put on track.

Zigui, who had not released any songs in November and might have been mentioned again, also avoided the hot discussion of being "out of ideas" again.

----

Saturday, April 11.

The day of the third round-robin match of the college league.

As it has the nature of a charity gala, there are some changes in the layout of the venue and stage.

Not only are there propaganda slogans about disaster relief everywhere, the overall color tone gives people a warm feeling, and the decoration is also much more serious and solemn.

There are quite a few seats reserved in the front row. It goes without saying that they are reserved for entrepreneurs and others who donate to the party.

Not only that, the two hosts' attire was more formal than before.

The organizers were obviously worried that the league would be criticized, so they only allowed the host to appear and reiterate that the association would donate an amount equal to the half-year revenue from the songs in this round of competitions, but they did not state it directly. This was a disguised charity gala.

Since there are still six teams in the third round-robin competition, competing against each other in twos, there will be a total of 15 PKs. The entrepreneurs invited to watch the game may not be able to stay on site too late, so the organizers have adjusted the start time for this purpose.

So, at six o'clock in the afternoon.

The third round-robin match officially started one hour in advance.

The audience and judges all took their seats.

Although the camera swept across the industry leaders in the front row, it did not introduce them in detail.

However, many viewers in the live broadcast room seemed very excited.

Two hosts dressed in black suits walked onto the stage.

"Good evening, viewers."

It is a cold day now and it is almost dark at six o'clock.

"Welcome to the Three Continents College League, the top 6 to top 4 match!"

"We will still use the round-robin format this time. The six teams will compete against each other in pairs..."

The host skillfully explained the rules of the competition and then talked about the theme of this competition.

To put it bluntly, it actually involves asking the composers of each team to create works around topics related to disaster relief.

It can be a song to encourage people in disaster areas to rebuild their homes.

It can be a work that inspires people from all walks of life to show their love.

You can also write about some stories about disaster areas reported in the news in the past few days.

After saying this, the host introduced the teams that advanced to the top six.

The team ranked first is undoubtedly the team from Linhai University.

Because it is already a 6-to-4 match, if the 4-to-2 match and the finals are held together, then it is not an exaggeration to call this round-robin match the semi-finals.

Therefore, all ten players from each team will appear one by one.

The first person to come out from the Linhai University team was, of course, the team leader Lu Wantang.

When she came out, the audience applauded enthusiastically.

Shen Qingzhu, who was invited as an entrepreneur, sat below, looking at Lu Wantang who was calmly greeting everyone around, his expression was particularly complicated.

The man sitting next to him looked at him, smiled and said tentatively:

"Mr. Shen also thinks that this student Lu is very beautiful? I never thought that she is a composer, not a singer."

"Yes." Shen Qingzhu said casually, "With her beauty, ability, and background, she can make herself famous. It can be seen that she still prefers to work behind the scenes."

"Mr. Shen knows her?" The man looked surprised.

"We are friends."

"That's it, hehe."

Although he didn't find out Lu Wantang's background, Shen Qingzhu said they were friends, so the man gave up some of his secret thoughts.

After the contestants from Linhai University came out one by one, the next came the representative teams from Beizhou Conservatory of Music, Beizhou University, Nanzhou University, Tamagawa University, and Chunjiang University.

The sixty contestants no longer stayed in the backstage lounge like in previous competitions, but were arranged by the organizers to sit in seats distributed in a stepped manner on the side of the stage.

The singers are sitting in the first few rows because they have to be ready to go on stage and perform at any time.

Sitting in the back rows were songwriters such as Lu Wantang.

And in front of their seats, there is a donation box.

However, this "donation box" is used to display the amount of funds raised in this evening party, and its function is equivalent to a display screen.

According to the host, after each contestant starts singing, the 'donation box' will display the real-time fundraising amount.

Although the organizers did not calculate the fundraising amount into the song score, for the creators and singers, the more funds raised, the more recognition and honor it represents.
