The midterm exam was held as scheduled. Ang Lee was originally a little nervous about this exam, so he deliberately made up for two days of textbook knowledge. However, when the test paper was sent, Ang Lee breathed a sigh of relief.

Although he has never taken classes much, he often uses the knowledge in the textbook when he is writing songs. These knowledge points that need rote memory for other freshmen are easy to use for Ang Lee.

This exam took two consecutive days, and Ang Lee also gave himself two days off. His life has been really too full recently. After getting up in the morning and having breakfast to noon, it was his unmovable time to write, and after lunch, it was the time to draw, because this was the brightest time of the day.

He tried painting oil paintings at night, but the colors he made were different from those he saw during the day, so Ang Lee left all the painting time in the first half of the afternoon.

Occasionally he would go to get out of class, but in comparison, it was the easiest thing to do, because he had mastered all the knowledge points, and going to class was simply to relax.

At night, he would learn to shoot video editing, and this thing also took a lot of time. Sometimes two hours passed without realizing it, but the material was only cut a few paragraphs.

Such days are quite fulfilling, but if you keep doing this, you will feel very tired, just like going to work day after day. One day he will lose his fun with these things, so recently his life has become slower again.

"I think this song may be nominated for this year's award." Wen Qiao looked up at Ang Lee with comments from "Chiringling".

The popularity of the song "Chiling" exceeded Ang Lee's expectations. It was very popular since the first day of release, and the data has been rising rapidly. After only half a month, the number of views exceeded 70 million. In comparison, "The Light Chaser", which was originally ranked first, was squeezed down after only four or five days at the top.

Compared with "Chiring", the data of other songs on Yinhai's new song list in October can only be considered ordinary. Except for "The Light Chaser", it is already very good that other songs can exceed 20 million, but such results cannot even be seen in "Chiring" the taillights of the car.

"Award? What award?" Ang Lee asked without looking back, his head raised.

It has been several months since he came to this parallel world. Ang Lee didn't know what awards there are at all. Even in the previous world, he only knew a few more famous awards. Because these things have nothing to do with him, he wouldn't pay attention to them at all.

I didn't expect that I can now have the ability to touch these so-called awards.

"The annual online single award can be regarded as a relatively authoritative award. There is no need to be nominated, but it is ranked directly through data." Wen Qiao thought for a while and said that there are many awards in the music industry every year, including large and small, and even song style subdivided awards.

There are many highly well-known awards, and "Online Singles of the Year" is one of them, with a total of seven places.

"On the year? My song has only been released for fifteen days. My brother is about to celebrate the Chinese New Year in one or two months. How good can the data be?" Ang Lee turned his head and glanced at him and said indifferently. He was not interested in those awards, because this is just a name and has no practical benefit.

It’s better to spend time doing some work to study these stupid things all day long.

"It's not just based on the total playback volume. If you release a popular song at the beginning of that year, you should book the awards at the end of the year?" Wen Qiao snorted and said. If you rank it according to the total playback volume, it would not be fair to some songs.

"And although the total playback volume is longer and longer, the growth rate will become slower and slower after the popular song period. If the quality of the song itself is not enough, the total playback volume will be the same as it will last for the most days." Wen Qiao continued.

Ang Lee nodded in this regard. During the popularity period, the number of views of the songs can indeed increase rapidly, but this increase will become smaller and smaller as time goes by, and the curve will become smoother and smoother, and finally become a parallel line.

This time is usually only two months, which is the average popularity period for a song.

Most songs basically only take two months from growth to flatness, but this does not mean that all songs are like this. A song with high quality will have a longer popularity period. Although it will grow smaller and smaller over time, this cycle is much longer than other songs.

So sometimes speaking the song first does not necessarily have an advantage. If the quality is not high, it is very common to be taken from behind.

Take the song "Chiring" as an example. The number of views of this song is probably the data that most online songs this year have not reached, so the post-posting may not be a disadvantage. As long as the quality of the song is good enough, it can make a big splash.

"And the total playback volume is not the only standard. It also requires various data, such as the maximum playback volume per day, download volume, etc., and growth cycles, etc.." Wenqiao said slowly. If you can become a well-known award, there will definitely be something that can convince people, otherwise this award will not have any value.

"No interest." Ang Lee waved his hand, staring at the high-definition photo in front of him, and carefully copied it. He didn't want to miss any small splash.

This photo is a screenshot of a high-definition video that Ang Lee spent money to buy from the original blogger of the short video. It cost several thousand yuan to buy it. Because the resolution of the video uploaded by the Vision Platform is not high and the details are a bit blurry, Ang Lee had to contact someone to buy it.

Thousands of dollars are nothing to Ang Lee today. It is worth it for his own interests and hobbies and artistic accomplishments. The high-definition level of this photo is much better than that of short videos, so the difficulty of copying is also reduced.

This photo is the object that Ang Lee has been copying recently. He has painted several such paintings, just like the tree downstairs he first drew.

But Ang Lee still felt that he still had a lot of room for improvement because he discovered the difference between oil paintings and photos. It was not difficult to draw them like them, because Ang Lee was originally a good master in sketching, and trying to draw them like them was just to fill in the color based on this.

But it is different to draw an immersive feeling. This is quite difficult. Oil painting has some differences compared to other types of paintings. Based on pigments, oil painting has a unique color layering, which can give people a feeling of immersiveness.

Even this ultra-high-definition photo cannot give people an immersive feeling, but drawing this picture with oil painting can give people an immersive feeling, but Ang Lee cannot achieve that level yet.

He felt that he was in a bottleneck. He could now easily make the colors he wanted, so it was not difficult for him to draw something like it. Now four or five of his oil paintings are hung on the walls of the dormitory, and even the two painting students, Wei Yan and Qingsong, are ashamed of themselves.

But Ang Lee couldn't go any further. Although the things he drew were very similar, they were always a dead object without gods. The works of those oil painting masters all had their own charm, but Ang Lee's paintings were lifeless.

An Li was also very clear about this. The reason was that he had encountered such a bottleneck before, that is, when he was learning sketching, he finally broke through to a deeper level through long-term practice and sudden inspiration.

So he is not in a hurry now. He just needs to continue painting directly. There will always be a day when he can break through his limits, and he believes that this day will not let him wait too long.

This is a painting that takes time and has many painting methods. However, Ang Lee is the most complex painting method, which is the super realistic painting method. This type of painting method is the most time-consuming in oil paintings. He has been painting this painting for three or four days, and he has only drawn half of it.

"Doesn't your waist feel sore after sitting like this for a few hours every day?" Wen Qiao looked at Ang Lee in admiration. He admired Ang Lee's self-discipline. If he was asked to sit in his seat and read a book for an hour, he would definitely not be able to do it. He might take out his phone and browse it for less than half an hour.

But Ang Lee is different. Not only does he not know how to browse his phone in the middle, but he even turns off the phone. He is completely deaf of the matter outside the window and only focuses on the brush in his hand. Sometimes he will not answer any questions when he asks him.

"Then let's go here today." Ang Lee looked at the time on his wrist and decisively put away his brush. The sky was getting darker. If he painted again, it would affect the final quality, so Ang Lee decisively chose to continue tomorrow.

"Didn't you say that this canvas is just the lowest level canvas? Then why do you have to spend so much time painting on it? Anyway, it won't be stored for too long after it is drawn." Wen Qiao said curiously.

Ang Lee had told him before that these canvases are the most trashy canvases and it would not work if they were kept for a few months, so he was very confused about Ang Lee's behavior of making a painting on it now.

"What I want is not to save this painting, but to experience it gained in the process of painting this painting. When the level reaches its level in the future, buy a good canvas to draw. Now the level is not as good as what I want, and it is useless to use no matter how good the canvas is."

While cleaning his painting tools, Ang Lee answered slowly. This painting was just a practice he spent a little longer. It was no different from the previous paintings. It had not reached the level he wanted. He would not use it to preserve. The paintings hanging on the dormitory walls were just Wen Qiao thought they were good-looking. If it were him, he would definitely not have been hung on them.

"The ideological awareness is too high, and we can't match it." Wen Qiao smacked her lips and shook her head.
