Chapter 522: The guest performer of the Eva show
Xiao Yao prepared a song for Ren Bing's TV series that was sung by men and women, so he had to find a male singer to cooperate with Ah Zi. Xiao Yao is also a singer himself, but he has already sung a song "Want to Sing Me to You" with A Zi, and he didn't plan to come by himself this time. However, with the reputation of Xiao Yao's works and Ah Zi's current popularity, it is not difficult to help Ah Zi find a male singer to work with, basically to see who Xiao Yao is going to choose.
In terms of choosing singers, Xiao Yao has always adhered to the principle of "fertilizer and water do not flow into outsiders' fields". Xiao Siqi and A Zi's age and coffee position are relatively large, and it is not suitable for him to sing with A Zi, while Chen Chen's age, fame and coffee position are very suitable for singing with A Zi, but he is a hip-hop rapper, and it is not suitable for Xiao Yao to prepare this song without rapping. There are only three male singers in Qijia Studio, Xiao Siqi, Xiao Yao, and Chen Chen, and when they are not suitable, Xiao Yao set his sights on Hong Wei's Haiyin Entertainment.
A Zi is now one of the singers under Haiyin Entertainment, Xiao Yao is looking for male singers under Haiyin Entertainment to cooperate, on the one hand, by helping other singers in Hong Wei's company to enhance Ah Zi's status and weight in the company, and help her strive for more resources. On the other hand, the two singers are from the same company, and when they help Ren Bing's TV series to promote it in the future, it will also be convenient to make overall arrangements and better cooperate with the crew.
Hong Wei is a top female singer in the Chinese music scene, although her Haiyin Entertainment has not been established for a long time, there are still several well-known singers under her umbrella. Among them, there are three male singers, all of whom are basically suitable for the song Xiao Yao wrote for the TV series, and Xiao Yao chose the most well-known one.
The male singer chosen by Xiao Yao is named Yang Wenyu, who is in his early thirties and has been debuting for nearly ten years. Yang Wenyu was very popular for a while a few years ago, and although he is not out of breath now, he is relatively quiet because there have been no popular works in recent years. On the whole, it is currently in the stage of sliding from the first line to the second line, and it is hovering between the first and second lines.
Yang Wenyu's strength is beyond doubt, but he lacks good works that make him popular, so when Xiao Yao contacted Hong Wei and said that he wanted to ask Yang Wenyu to cooperate with Ah Zi on the new song he wrote for the TV series, both Hong Wei and Yang Wenyu himself agreed without the slightest hesitation, and they were very cooperative on the itinerary.
Xiao Yao's work efficiency has always been very high, and he did a good job of the lyrics, arrangement, and soundtrack of the two songs in one day. Ah Zi has cooperated with Xiao Yao a lot of times, Yang Wenyu is also a very powerful singer, and the recording of the song is also going very smoothly with the highly coordinated schedule. In just four days, Xiao Yao recorded two songs and sent them to the producers of two film and television works.
The producers of the two film and television works replied to Xiao Yao the day after receiving the finished products handed over by Xiao Yao, saying that they were very satisfied with Xiao Yao's works, and decided to buy the copyright as their theme song or ending song, and also took the opportunity to ask Xiao Yao to come forward to help with publicity.
Generally speaking, the main force of publicity for film and television works is the main creator of the work. Of course, film and television songs are also a point in the promotion. However, usually, the most common thing is the singer who brings the ending song of the theme song, and lets the singer sing the song live on various promotional occasions to promote it. Xiao Yao is only the creator of these two songs, not a singer, nor has he participated in other work of these two film and television works.
The reason why the producers of these two film and television works put forward this unusual request is that in addition to Xiao Yao's own popularity, there is a more important reason, that is, Xiao Yao has climbed the headlines of entertainment news again and has become the object of heated discussion on the whole network!
The promotion of "127 Hours" is already underway. The trailer of the movie has been released, and Xiao Yao's print media interviews and TV talk shows have also been published and broadcast one after another, but this is something that happened almost a week ago, and the discussion has already been discussed, and netizens who have seen those are waiting for the movie to be released. The variety shows recorded by Xiao Yao for movie promotion are more brilliant in content, but those variety shows are broadcast after the movie is released, which is Ye Jiaying's second wave of publicity plan.
Xiao Yao's writing songs for film and television works is also a lot of news, but not to mention whether this matter is enough to make entertainment headlines, Xiao Yao has just delivered the goods, and the two film and television works have not yet entered the publicity period. The producers of the two film and television works want Xiao Yao to participate in the promotion, which means that this matter has not yet been exposed to the media. The reason why Xiao Yao suddenly made headlines for mountaineering entertainment again is because of this year's Eva show.
After deciding that this year's Eva show will be placed in Shencheng, China, Eva's preparations are proceeding in an orderly manner. If Eva wants to hold the Eva show in Huaxia, the first step is to find a suitable partner in Huaxia, preferably in Shencheng.
Shencheng is a cosmopolitan city. Here, there are many companies with experience in hosting international high-level press conferences and other activities, and Eva has successfully selected a well-known planning company headquartered in Shencheng as a partner of this year's Eva show.
After reaching a cooperation intention with Eva, the well-known planning company asked to release the news that this year's Eva Show would be held in Shencheng. On the one hand, it is to create a topic and warm up for the Eva show in advance. On the other hand, it is also so that they can better prepare.
Eva is a world-class brand, and with Eva's big signboard, all the work of the planning company in Shencheng is much better. But Eva has never held the Eva show in a country other than Europe and the United States, which is still quite a surprising thing, and the unilateral statement of this planning company may not be able to make people believe it immediately, so the planning company asked Eva to officially announce the news.
In fact, Eva didn't have to hide the news until the last minute, since it was for better work, Eva readily agreed to release the news publicly. After Eva posted the news on her official website and various social media platforms, the planning company in Shencheng quickly contacted the media in Huaxia to reprint the report.
After Eva knew that after the news was announced, she must have paid the most attention to the media and the public in Huaxia. Since it is to cause discussion in China, Eva simply announced the city where this year's Eva Show will be held, and immediately announced a celebrity guest who will perform at this year's Eva Show. The guest performer they announced was, of course, Xiao Yao from Huaxia.
This is the first time Eva has shown her annual show outside of Europe and the United States. As soon as the news came out, it immediately caught the attention of all the fashion and entertainment media in the world, as well as Eva fans. Among them, the media and netizens in China are naturally the most excited. The news hit the headlines of fashion and entertainment media almost immediately.
And just one day later, Xiao Yao's name appeared on the headlines of these media. Because in addition to the first appearance of the Eva Show outside of Europe and the United States, Xiao Yao will also be the first non-European and American star to perform alone on the Eva Show. It's definitely enough to make headlines.
In fact, even if the word "alone" in a separate performance is removed, the first non-European and American star to appear on the Eva show is Xiao Yao. However, at that time, Xiao Yao was not a guest performer invited by the Eva show, but because of an accident, he temporarily acted as a member of the band to save the scene. The media didn't know in advance, Xiao Yao, who was only ten years old at that time, could only be said to be a second-generation Chinese star, not a real star, after the Eva show that year, the media in Huaxia didn't know, and not many people even knew about it now, let alone reported it.
This year is different. Xiao Yao's name appeared in Eva's official announcement, and it was really a guest who was invited by Eva to perform on stage, and the media naturally wanted to put it in the headline position and hype it.
After the report that Xiao Yao was confirmed to be a guest performer of Eva's show, those netizens who were excited about Eva's show in China this year naturally discussed Xiao Yao as a guest performer on the Internet.
As the first non-European and American performer in the history of the Eva show, there are of course many netizens who praise and even praise Xiao Yao. Xiao Yao is only 21 years old this year, and among the performers invited by the Eva Show over the years, only the American superstar Bill Justin, who appeared on the stage of the Eva Show three years ago, debuted at the age of 16 like Xiao Yao and appeared on the Eva Show at the age of 21, and the rest of the performers are not under the age of 25. As a result, some Chinese netizens compared Xiao Yao with Bill Justin, saying that Xiao Yao is now a first-line star singer in the world.
On the Internet, there are blows and there are black. Xiao Yao's Eva show was officially announced by Eva, and it could not be Xiao Yao's fake news that was bought by the media for the sake of hype. But in the last Eva show, it was said that Xiao Yao was a world-class first-line singer?
Many netizens disdainfully said that Xiao Yao just borrowed the Eva Show to put the show in China this time, and there is a photography teacher who has a deep relationship with the Eva Show. With her own fame and strength alone, it is impossible for Eva to be taken a fancy to. Xiao Yao can't be compared with Bill Justin, let alone a world-class A-list star.
In fact, Xiao Yao's fans don't care much about what is world-class, first-line and second-line, but for some sunspots on the Internet who say that Xiao Yao relies on relationships to go through the back door, saying that Xiao Yao can't even compare to one-tenth of Bill Justin's, Xiao Yao's fans are not happy.
Xiao Yao's photography teacher is just a photographer who has a good relationship with Eva. In the professional field, he can recommend Xiao Yao to Eva as a photographer, but in the non-professional field, does he still have the energy for Eva to ask Xiao Yao to be a guest performer? He is not Eva's high-level executive!
Look at Xiao Yao's performance in Eva's swimsuit special in September! Xiao Yao's interaction with those Eva models, those models starred in Xiao Yao's MV for free, and Eva's staff arranged the venue for Xiao Yao to give the models a concert, these are all made by Xiao Yao's photography teacher and Eva's staff?
As for saying that Xiao Yao is not as good as Bill Justin, Xiao Yao, who made an American airline disgraced with a song and a video, subdued two knife-wielding gangsters on the plane and saved the entire plane passengers, is not low in popularity around the world. At most, Xiao Yao is just worse than Bill Justin in the number of fans around the world, but that is mainly because Xiao Yao was born in China and developed in China, Bill Justin, who was born in Canada, is European and American and developed in the American entertainment industry.
In terms of music alone, Xiao Yao is no worse than Bill Justin.
In terms of singing skills, Xiao Yao's ability to control various styles from folk to rock to rap to pop to opera singing is not comparable to Justin.
In terms of creation, although Justin also writes songs, the songwriters of many of his songs are co-signed by three or four people, including him, who knows how much he has contributed to it? And Xiao Yao not only writes all the lyrics and songs for each of his songs, but also arranges and scores a lot of music by himself. And he writes songs not only for himself, but also for others, including Korean singers and American singers and bands.
In terms of awards, Justin has won a lot of various awards, but Xiao Yao has won more awards of all sizes. Huaxia's awards are not as influential as those in the United States, but that is determined by the difference between Huaxia and the United States in the world entertainment industry, which does not mean that Xiao Yao's ability to win awards is not as good as Justin's. What's more, Xiao Yao helped "Daydream" create a champion single that won a lot of awards, even if he has not been promoted in the United States, Xiao Yao's own English songs have achieved outstanding results on the American Billboard. If the environment of the two is reversed, Xiao Yao will definitely not be worse than Justin when he wins the award.
In addition to music, Xiao Yao is only better than Bill Justin.
As an actor, Bill Justin has only made cameo appearances in some series and movies, and has never starred in it, let alone won awards. But Xiao Yao won the newcomer award when he participated in the first TV series at the age of fourteen or fifteen, and a movie with a big male protagonist will be released soon.
As a director, Xiao Yaoguang has made a lot of MVs, and each one is very distinctive and widely circulated, and the short films he made have won awards in France. As a photographer, there are many works of Xiao Yao in various first-class photography magazines and fashion magazines. Director and cinematographer are both professions that Bill Justin has not set foot in, so naturally they can't compare with Xiao Yao.
When Xiao Yao's fans listed these comparisons one by one, many Bill Justin fans quit. These people joined forces with some netizens who were interested in hacking Xiao Yao, and started a fierce war of words with Xiao Yao's "pills" on the Internet.
This kind of controversy has nothing to do with Eva, on the contrary, the more intense this online war of words is, the better it will be for their Eva show warm-up, and they are happy to see it happen. As for Xiao Yao, he is generally concerned about scandals, plagiarism and other things related to his character. Who is stronger and who is weaker than others? Xiao Yao has always been too lazy to care, netizens love to say what they want, and how to compare love with each other. For him, recording songs well is the right thing.
It is precisely because of this fierce Internet war that Xiao Yao not only made headlines in the entertainment media and fashion media, but also became a hot topic on the Internet, so the producers of those two film and television works thought of Xiao Yao to participate in the promotion of their works.
The TV series in which Ren Bing participated is expected to be broadcast at the end of the year, and Kong Zheng's movie is striving for the New Year's schedule at the end of the year, and the publicity plan starts from mid-December or even earlier. The Eva show was in early December, and Xiao Yao's popularity at that time must not have completely diminished, and Xiao Yao's own movie must have basically ended the promotion more than half a month after its release, and it should be feasible in terms of time.
However, Xiao Yao still refused.
Xiao Yao just wrote a song, which has little to do with these two film and television works. If you need the singer's help to do publicity, you can have Ah Zi and Yang Wenyu. Relatively speaking, they are the ones who need more exposure, and they are more dedicated to doing it. Even if there was a friendship between Ren Bing and Kong Zheng, Xiao Yao did not agree. When it comes to buying the copyright of a song, Fang still comes forward to negotiate the price. When the other party agreed to adopt these two songs, Xiao Yao cut off contact with the producers of these two film and television works.
After recording those two songs, it has been less than 127 hours since the movie "127 Hours" was released, and Xiao Yao's next thoughts were completely focused on the promotion of the upcoming movie roadshow.
