Verse 462: Red
MOST OF THE OPINIONS ON TOPTOWN FUNK'S NUMBER ONE BILLBOARD APPEARANCE ARE UNANIMOUS: IT'S SURPRISING, BUT IT'S UNDERSTANDABLE, BUT IT'S NOT GOING TO LAST. When the limelight passes, it will naturally fall from the first place.
This is the opinion of some American media "rational analysis", and it is also reasonable and well-founded, which makes people think that this is the case, but in the second week, the first place on the billboard is still occupied by "UPTOWN FUNK". AND IN THE THIRD WEEK, THE BILLBOARD WINNER WAS UPTOWN FUNK......
To analyze this situation, perhaps we can start with some aspects, such as TBY.
On TBY, there is a steady stream of videos related to UPTOWN FUNK that have been produced and uploaded, including TBY's famous video creator Allen. This is a well-known spoof music video maker on TBY, and the content of the work is mainly a spoof recreation of some of the most popular music works at the moment, and the scale is very large.
The singers who have been spoofed by him are often embarrassed because of the unbridled creative scale of their works, but at the same time, it also shows the popularity of these works at the moment, because they are not popular songs, they are not eligible to be on his creative list.
Now he's keeping up with the trend and making a spoof re-creation of "UPTOWN FUNK", which has even more hits than previous works.
AND JOSHUA REEVE, A YOUNG AMERICAN NATIONAL IDOL AND A REPRESENTATIVE OF INTERNET STAR-MAKING, ALSO UPLOADED A VIDEO OF HIS RECREATION OF "UPTOWN FUNK" UNDER HIS TBY ACCOUNT. To be honest, in terms of content, Joshua's video content type is not as strong as Allen's, it's just that Joshua and his group of friends are carnival and funny in the music of "UPTOWN FUNK", and learn to use some dance steps in "UPTOWN FUNK", but it can't stand Joshua's popularity in the United States.
This is the representative of the American Internet star-making era, the first American idol to become popular on the Internet, countless American people have watched this little guy grow from the age of 14 to the present, he can be said to be the top idol of the United States. Even if the content of his work is not strong, but he filmed it, or he rarely behaves so hilariously and so crazy in a video for a song that is not his own, which is enough to make people pay attention, so Joshua's video has a much higher number of views than Allen's video, and the influence is much greater.
IN ADDITION, THERE IS STENDHAL, THE ACTOR OF "AVATAR", WHO ALSO POSTED A VIDEO OF HIMSELF CLUMSILY LEARNING THE DANCE STEPS OF "UPTOWN FUNK" ON THE TBY CHANNEL, WHERE HE HAS NOT HAD MANY WORKS, AND THE AMERICAN SINGER CRISTINA GARCIA......
Under the influence and infection of these big IPs, there are also more and more original folk videos on TBY: a handsome white father drove with his daughter, and recorded a video of himself and his daughter shaking their heads in the car and singing "UPTOWN FUNK" passionately. UPTOWN FUNK", a large number of police officers imitate the dance steps in "UPTOWN FUNK", which is eye-opening, and creative people have also made animal versions of "UPTOWN FUNK", cute cats and puppies look completely reproduced from "UPTOWN FUNK" under the camera editing, and more are learning to imitate the dance moves of "UPTOWN FUNK", and then release it......
These self-made videos on TBY are like vectors of the virus, helping the "UPTOWN FUNK" virus spread more widely.
ON RADIO ON DEMAND AND TV, UPTOWN FUNK IS ALSO THE MOST FREQUENTLY SEEN ON THE MOMENT, AND YOU CAN FIND THE SONG ON ALMOST EVERY YOUNG PERSON'S MOBILE PHONE.
If at the beginning, "UPTOWN FUNK" borrowed more from Shen Huan's traffic as a news hotspot, then now after it has borrowed this momentum to open this door, it is continuing to move forward with its own quality and strength - really good music is always not so easy to bury, especially when it has been successfully played.
IT CAN BE SAID THAT "UPTOWN FUNK" IS BECOMING THE DIVINE COMEDY OF THE CURRENT UNITED STATES.
Uh, or maybe that should be a little bit bigger, because in addition to the US, this song has recently managed to top the top in the UK, Australia, etc......
The newly emerged Divine Comedy, the singer's unique background, and the timing of the controversy...... These various elements are intertwined, and there are three words in life - newsworthiness.
Naturally, American media practitioners who run faster than Xiangjiang reporters will not miss this.
Almost all of the six major TV networks have made continuous reports on this phenomenon, and have also done random interviews on the street, and from the street interviews of several major TV networks, it can also be seen that the current American people are no longer ignorant of "UPTOWN FUNK" and Shen Huan or only know a name.
“…… I love his songs, I think it's a great singer......"
“…… I don't know what his movie will be like, but I bought this song of his, on iTus, and I think it's worth ......"
“…… Oh, he's still a director, he's even an actor? I don't know, before that, I only knew that he was a singer, his songs were good, I loved this song......"
……
The well-known talk show "Helen Show" in the United States even invited Shen Huan to do a talk show about him.
This is the first time that Shen Huan has spoken out publicly in the American public media, and he is naturally prepared for this, and flew back to the United States as early as the day after receiving the news, and was retrained by Hudson's agency.
Hudson Brokerage is a partner involved in the docking process of the "Avatar" project, and its main responsibility is Shen Huan's American localization packaging and operation.
This veteran brokerage company has rich experience in star operation and has solid strength in product incubation, and Shen Huan's "UPTOWN FUNK" incident also has their hidden figures.
“…… Political correctness, that's something you need to keep in mind, and we've said it countless times, but we still have to say it now. This will protect you from being against racism, which is political correctness, but at the same time you need to be wary of the reverse racism that you may have, especially on such an important TV show......"
Yes, insisting on, or showing your political correctness, is the first content that you need to learn and keep in mind to enter the American entertainment industry, especially in these days of life in the United States, Shen Huan deeply feels the importance of this content.
In this free country, political correctness is a red line that public figures must not step on, and opposing racial discrimination is an important part of political correctness, which can be seen from the performance of the Internet.
Those who clearly express racial discrimination are anonymous or ordinary netizens, and video makers like Allen, even when making the spoof video of "UPTOWN FUNK", did not dare to use skin color to spoof irony - Allen's video has such a high number of views, in addition to being a hit, many people also come with the mentality of watching the fun.
They expect to see Allen make some of the iconic outfits in the video, such as Squinting.
But Alan didn't dare to make such an outfit, and someone in the comments on the video page even specifically mentioned this, saying that Allen "has big eyes, and this is a failed issue".
From this incident alone, it can be seen that opposing racial discrimination is the political correctness of the United States, and it must be held high, and if it is really necessary to conduct a face-to-face survey, it is estimated that the entire United States is resolutely opposed to racial discrimination, but at the same time, racial discrimination exists widely and implicitly in society.
This seemingly contradictory status quo may be incomprehensible to some people, but this is the case, in Shen Huan's opinion, it has a bit of a magical reality.
In addition, Hudson's agency emphasizes that it is very important to be vigilant against the reverse racism that may occur in his own hands, which is quite different from the general definition of reverse racism in China. Also, it is not enough to "become" pure Americans, even if they are real Americans, there are subtle differences in the grasp of behavior and performance of whites, African-Americans, Latinos, and Asians......
Anyway, just participating in this TV show is a very troublesome thing, and the trouble lies in Shen Huan's special identity and his attitude. To this end, they conducted countless rehearsals in advance so that Shen Huan's performance on the TV show could please the vast majority of American audiences.
After the drill, Shen Huan even felt that the employees of Hudson's agency who were connected with him had the potential to become sociologists.
