Chapter 342: Not Quite as Expected

"Put three of the same things below to eliminate them..."

"A game for children?"

The interface of the first level is very simple, and there is no need to introduce the rules at all.

Just click twice, and you can know how to play this game from the first level.

"Is it that simple?"

Tang Sheng shook his phone towards his daughter. It was essentially a common elimination game. You can pass the level by eliminating all the patterns.

"Humph."

Tang An Ning chuckled at his father, but smiled without saying anything.

Damn, this weird game, how easy the first level is, how difficult the second level is!

Since the day before yesterday, Tang An Ning has played it at least a hundred times, and has never passed it once.

[Difficulty soars! ]

As soon as you enter the second level, you can see four big black characters appear on the screen!

The icons on the screen, which were originally only a few, have become a large pile, milk bottles, cabbages, carrots...

"The rules are the same as before, it shouldn't be difficult to eliminate them."

Although Tang Sheng is nearly sixty years old, he is still relatively young in appearance and mentality, and he is not so incomprehensible.

The underlying logic is to eliminate three identical patterns.

"Let me see."

Tang's mother came over and looked at Tang Sheng's phone.

Ten minutes later -

"Hiss..."

"No, no! If you just listened to me, you will definitely pass the level if you take this first!"

"Oh!"

Tang's mother complained to Tang Sheng, and it was obvious that the two had encountered a bottleneck.

On the other side, Lin Qiu and Tang Anning, who were eating fruit with a fork, were whispering to each other.

Tang Anning asked suspiciously, "Is it really impossible to pass?"

Lin Qiu shrugged, "You can pass, but it depends on luck."

Tang Anning was surprised:

"So the advertised clearance rate is less than 1% is true?"

"Well, players with good luck have a low probability of randomly getting a passable arrangement when eliminating without making mistakes."

Just as Lin Qiu and Tang Anning were discussing, a resurrection prompt suddenly popped up on Tang Sheng's phone.

[Resurrection prompt! ]

"Lin Qiu, can you still revive?"

Tang Sheng's voice came from the other side of the sofa.

"Ah, well, you can get a prop by watching a 30-second ad, Mr. Tang, actually..."

"Free game, okay, I'll study it further."

Tang Sheng interrupted Lin Qiu and continued to study this little game.

The reason why Lin Qiu made such a game without any "technical content" without any worries is because this game is essentially a free mode game.

Free things are impossible to be criticized, if you don't like it, just don't watch it.

Just like the movie "Midnight Ring" that Lin Qiu once shot, although the score is not high, when talking about this movie, no fans will say anything else, because of the word "free".

But "free mode" is still different from "free".

Free is for players and viewers, and advertising revenue is the main source of income for the "free mode".

However, Changan also did not take this opportunity to make a profit. He really looked down on this advertising income. You must know that this game was popular in China in the previous life, and the advertising fees earned were just a quick buck.

And what appeared in this advertising position is naturally Changan's own things.

For example, the [Chang'an Film and Television APP] launched at the end of last year also has some Chang'an peripherals, movie and TV drama promotions, etc.

In this game, there are a total of three props below, "remove", "shuffle" and "withdraw", all of which are quite good props, at least they can solve the current crisis.

At the beginning, Tang Sheng was as confident as his daughter Tang An Ning, thinking that he could turn the tide with these three props, but unfortunately...

Reality is cruel.

Another three minutes later.

[Game failed! ]

[Re-challenge? ]

"Hiss..."

"I understand, I understand."

Tang Sheng murmured.

But before he could start another game, his mobile phone was taken away by Tang's mother, who started playing with great interest.

Tang Sheng had no choice. Anyway, it was early for dinner, so he went to talk about music with Lin Qiu.

For Lin Qiu's music, Tang Sheng praised it 120 times, and in Lin Qiu's music, Tang Sheng found many creative habits that did not belong to Xia Zhou, which made Tang Sheng very curious before and wanted to discuss it with Lin Qiu.

After all, Tang Sheng is middle-aged and has passed the peak of his creative career.

Many times, some creative ideas need to be carefully considered, and Lin Qiu's music has brought Tang Sheng a lot of inspiration.

Tang Sheng's music is unique, and he will record many bits and pieces of life in the songs, which makes the audience have a lot of resonance.

Until Tang Anning was born, he was a well-known romantic in the music industry, so he appreciated Lin Qiu more.

Tang Sheng, a simple and unpretentious singer-songwriter, is not good at singing songs written by other songwriters.

Because his own songs express himself.

This is similar to the "rock" and "rap" that have been popular in recent years. Why these two music styles can attract young people is not because of the music itself.

But because of the "self-willed" and "free" "self-expression" of the music's essence.

In the music world of Kyushu, the status of rock and rap music is very high.

Even in the previous life, it was the same. Many of the classic music that can be left by the times are rock.

"The Beatles", "The Rolling Stones", "Queen", "Guns N' Roses" and "Linkin Park" are all classic rock bands, and this is especially true for rap music, such as "2pac", "Jay-z" and "Kanye" etc. are all in the mainstream.

Why is it that in China, including today's Xiazhou, the acceptance of rock music is generally much higher than that of rap music?

Even though rap music now ranks among the top in terms of playback volume on all major platforms, it is still criticized.

"The threshold, and the words."

Lin Qiu replied.

Tang Anning on the side added, "Lin Qiu and I have discussed this issue before. The lower the threshold, the more bad music there will be. The lower limit is too low."

Lin Qiu nodded, "And in Xiazhou, lyrics are more important than music to a certain extent."

"I don't know if Teacher Tang agrees with this."

Tang Sheng touched his chin and nodded slowly, "It makes sense."

Which is more important, lyrics or music?

Of course, they are all important and cannot be separated from each other. But if you want to compare, the answer to this question is usually music, because music plays a more dominant role in music. Songs that focus on narrative certainly need more detailed and story-telling words, and focus on music. Sexual songs are not required.

"Due to historical reasons in Xiazhou, most of the ancient Ci Pai tunes are fixed, and the words in the tune are the soul."

"Furthermore, the most dazzling Tang poetry and Song lyrics in Xiazhou cultural tradition to this day are engraved in the bones of Xiazhou people, and the pursuit of depth in writing has been passed down from generation to generation."

Tang Sheng nodded slowly, "That's the truth. Everyone can memorize two Tang poems and Song lyrics, but the spread of Yuan songs is relatively narrow."

"The words are broader and deeper, and can contain more emotions that Xiazhou people can understand."

"Those artistic abstract music are difficult to be recognized by ordinary listeners in Xiazhou."

Lin Qiu said this.

For example, in the previous life, the lyrics of the famous avant-garde band King Crimson often felt incomprehensible or very abstract.

This does not hinder the greatness of the songs they created, but it is difficult for such songs to be recognized in Xiazhou, just because of their musical habits.

The same is true for rap. The origin and particularity of this music are destined to have very poor lyrics in many songs.

In fact, compared to the whole "rap music", if you put aside the words and just listen to the rhythmic beat, you will be more receptive. That's the reason.

"By the way, there is also the previous piano music. Is there a complete version?"

Tang Sheng is also looking forward to Lin Qiu's soundtrack in the anime "Your Lie in April".

"have."

"Quick, quick..."

…

As a musician, just talking can take up an entire afternoon.

By the time Tang Sheng reacted, it was already dark and he hadn't even eaten dinner yet!

"Ouch, it's already nine o'clock!"

"Look at me..."

Tang Sheng patted his head, looked at the time in the music room, and gradually recovered.

Today was the day when Lin Qiu came to meet his prospective father-in-law and mother-in-law. Why did he drag Lin Qiu to talk about music for several hours? Even Tang Anning was brought in, her stomach growling with hunger.

But when Tang Sheng hurried from the music room to the living room, he found Tang's mother still sitting upright on the sofa, with her reading glasses on.

His whole face was full of anxiety, obviously he was involved in the little game "Sheep Got a Sheep"!

He was still murmuring:

"It's just a little bit..."

The corners of Lin Qiu's mouth twitched immediately.

"Why does it seem to be different from what I imagined..."
