"It's an honor to be the first journalist to interview you, and thank you for this opportunity. The reporter said it very politely, but it made Zhang Shaoyu feel a little unaccustomed.

After sitting down, the waiter took a cup of coffee, Zhang Shaoyu took a sip gently, looked up and said to the reporter: "I don't think you need to be so polite, didn't you say it on the phone? I'm here to make friends, not to be an idol." ”

The reporter was stunned again, since then, a college student, only in his twenties, may be very nervous in the face of reporters, so he tried to be as easy-going and polite as possible. Unexpectedly, the young man in front of him did not show the slightest sign of nervousness, talked decently, smiled frequently, and was completely a superstar style.

"Okay, hehe, I didn't expect Mr. Yu Shao to be ......" has been doing entertainment for several years, interviewing celebrities is his job, in front of many big names, he is calm, asking all kinds of spicy questions, but I didn't expect to be speechless in front of this little Internet singer.

"By the way, haven't asked your surname yet?" Zhang Shaoyu asked politely. Only then did the reporter come back to his senses, took out a business card from his bag and handed it over.

"Zhang Cheng, hehe, five hundred years ago, we were a family. Zhang Shaoyu carefully put away his business card and said to Zhang Cheng with a smile.

Zhang Cheng was a little surprised, and while taking out his notebook, he asked, "Mr. Yu Shao is also surnamed Zhang?"

"Well, my real name is Zhang Shaoyu, but I'm just telling you, I hope you don't announce it. Zhang Shaoyu said with a smile. Zhang Cheng nodded in agreement. Then I opened my notebook and the interview began.

"May I ask Mr. Zhang, when did your creation in music begin? Which conservatory did you study?" The reporter, once he started the interview, he became serious as if he had changed into a different person.

Zhang Shaoyu coughed softly, thought about it, and replied: "When I first started creating, it should have been my junior year of high school, I didn't have any professional music training, but when I was in my third year of high school, the school opened a major in art and sports, and I applied for music and studied music for a while. ”

"You don't have professional music training?!" Zhang Cheng raised his head, a look of surprise on his pale face. How is it possible, a singer-songwriter who is well-known on the Internet, he has no professional music training. That's too much, isn't it?

"Mr. Zhang, this, to be honest, as a person, I am not too willing to believe what you just said, how is it possible?" Zhang Cheng smiled apologetically.

Zhang Shaoyu didn't mind, nodded and said seriously: "It's really like this, I only trained my music teacher for a period of time in my third year of high school, and he said at that time that I had a little talent in this area and could further my studies." ”

"Oh, then are you going to go to the conservatory now?" asked Zhang Cheng.

"No, I'm studying at a science and engineering university now, and I'm about to graduate. ”

Zhang Cheng shook his head in disbelief, it's incredible, a singer-songwriter who is well-known on the Internet, he has no professional training in this area. Zhang Cheng immediately realized that this person might bring a storm to the entertainment industry in the future, and he was excited to be the first person to interview him.

"It's really incredible, hehe, then, Mr. Zhang......" Zhang Chenggang said this, and found that Zhang Shaoyu frowned slightly, and he stopped knowingly.

"That, Mr. Reporter, I should be a few years younger than you, if it's convenient, please call me by my name, or Shaoyu, you can call Mr., hehe, I feel very angry, and I am also very out-of-the-box. Zhang Shaoyu said euphemistically. When Zhang Cheng heard this, he laughed heartily. This young man is really interesting, and it seems that today is the right time.

"Okay, since that's the case, then we won't see the outside, five hundred years ago it was our family, and I won't be polite to you, how old am I, I am a big one, you call me Brother Cheng, I call you Shaoyu, is this okay?"

Zhang Shaoyu nodded with satisfaction.

"Well, then, next, may I ask, what kind of view do you have on music, and have you ever thought about entering the entertainment industry?"

Zhang Shaoyu took a breath, relaxed, leaned on the soft back of the chair, and said slowly: "In my opinion, music is a way to entertain yourself, you must first be able to move yourself, and then you can move others." Music should know no boundaries, no race, no nationality. All people in the world can come together because of music, and in this sense, everyone is connected. Doesn't it mean that books are food for the human mind? If so, then music is like ......."

He looked at the coffee in his hand and smiled: "Music is coffee." ”

"What a great analogy, huh. Zhang Cheng quickly made a record, looked up and smiled, "Well, I think, you are already quite famous on the Internet, have you ever been approached by a record company or a brokerage company and asked to sign a contract with you?"

Zhang Shaoyu shook his head: "I don't want to enter the entertainment industry, a friend in the circle once mentioned this question to me, but I didn't agree." I don't make music for fame or profit, just for fun. ”

A look of surprise flashed on Zhang Cheng's face, and he asked suspiciously: "You don't want to enter the entertainment industry, why?"

"Well, how can I say it? Maybe I'm not here, I didn't think about using music as a means to make a living for me. In addition, I consider myself a self-aware person, my work is not mature, the reason why I can achieve some results on the Internet, first, is because of the enthusiastic support of many friends, and secondly, hehe, ashamed, thanks to the hype of some people. If I had a different environment and didn't have these things, I think my work would probably be drowned in thousands of music works on the Internet. ”

Zhang Cheng looked at him, without any pretentiousness, disguise, and asked tentatively: "So, if a record company or a brokerage company finds you, you will also refuse?" This question is very pertinent, if Zhang Shaoyu is telling a lie, then it can be debunked immediately.

Because this is the first time he has faced the media, his idea will be spread through this channel, and if he wants to retreat and attract the attention of the record company, he should change his tune immediately.

"Yes, I won't say yes. Zhang Shaoyu is very sure.

Zhang Cheng sighed and said with some pity: "That's a pity, I personally appreciate your music very much, in this case, if you want to listen to it in the future, I'm afraid it will be difficult." ”

"No, music is a never-ending path that I will always explore, and I will always post my work online and share it with my friends. ”

Zhang Cheng was slightly pleased: "Oh, what are you talking about, your fans, FANS?"

"No!" Zhang Shaoyu suddenly became resolute, "I personally don't agree with this title, I'm not a star, and my friends who like my works are not my FANS, we are friends, really, anyone who likes me and supports me is my friend." ”

Zhang Cheng nodded with satisfaction, a twenty-one-year-old young man, it is really commendable to have this understanding. What's more valuable is that I have interviewed so many celebrities, but no one has a smooth answer like Zhang Shaoyu, without any mud and water, from this point, you can see the eloquence of this young man. If he enters the entertainment industry, he may be the most talkative star in the circle.

"There is a question, I can't help but ask, if there is something offensive, please don't mind, there are recent rumors on the Internet, one is that Xiaoyaolang of the China Original Music Alliance plagiarized your work, that "Moonlit Night", originally your work, was originally called "Attack on the Moon". There is also a saying that you are using the fame of Xiaoyao Lang to hype, what do you think about this matter?"

Zhang Shaoyu sat up, took a sip of coffee, smacked his lips and said, "Well, I don't have any opinions, I don't respond." ”

When Zhang Cheng heard this, he smiled knowingly, closed his notebook, and leaned on the sofa to drink coffee: "In this way, let's not make it like an interrogation, let's chat, put it away, and say anything." ”

Zhang Shaoyu smiled: "You misunderstood, I'm not nervous, how can I say this matter? I don't want to mention it too much, so I can only do this." ”

Zhang Cheng was thinking about Zhang Shaoyu's thoughts in his heart, why didn't he want to mention it? Could it really be as reported earlier, he was using the waves to hype? If that was the case, he should have attacked it now.

"Shaoyu, we can be regarded as friends, right? I personally want to know the truth about this matter. In this way, I promise, I will not report this matter, you tell me, what the hell is going on? Okay?" Zhang Cheng pleaded.

Zhang Shaoyu looked at him, thought about it, and finally, nodded: "Okay, then let's talk about this matter, but you really can't report it." ”

After getting the other party's affirmative answer, Zhang Shaoyu said: "That Xiaoyaolang, according to my speculation, he should be the JAY who won the third place in the singing contest of the China Original Music Alliance, I met him by chance, when I just found that website, I was a little interested in his works, on a whim, I left a few comments under his works, and then he contacted me and started some discussions about the works." Later, at his request, I made some changes to his work, which made his work win the award.

In this way, we became friends, and later, I created "Attack on the Moon". I contacted him as soon as I could, told him the news, and he asked to see the piece, and I hadn't recorded it yet, so I sent him the lyrics and tunes. Later, hehe, there was the so-called "Moonlit Night". ”

Zhang Cheng listened very carefully, and after listening, he didn't respond immediately, he was thinking about how credible Zhang Shaoyu's words were. Judging from his experience as a journalist for so many years, Zhang Shaoyu does not look like he is lying. All the words make sense. However, after all, it was someone who published the work first, and this case is probably not easy to overturn.

"I'm willing to believe what you say, but unfortunately, I'm afraid this case can't be overturned. Zhang Cheng smiled while holding his arms. Zhang Shaoyu shook his head relaxedly: "I didn't want to overturn the case, just copy it, this song was written by me to a friend, when I sang it to her, this song has completed its mission." ”

"Oh, it's a girlfriend, right?" Zhang Cheng smiled.

Zhang Shaoyu also smiled and did not answer positively.

"Ah...... Young man, I can't admit it, you're a good talker. It's a shame that you don't want to go to the entertainment industry to develop. At the end of the interview, I would like to ask all of you fans who support you, oh no, friends, a few words. ”

"Well, thank you really to all my friends who supported me, and here, I just want to say, the road of music, let's go through it together. I won't let down the people who support me. ”

Zhang Cheng was very satisfied with this interview, and at the end, he packed up his things and said to Zhang Shaoyu: "Thank you for accepting my interview, the first purpose of my visit today has been achieved." ”

"Oh, the first purpose, so Brother Cheng is here today, what other purposes?" Zhang Shaoyu asked calmly, although he felt a little strange in his heart.

Zhang Cheng smiled mysteriously: "To be honest, the second purpose was also decided by me temporarily. If I didn't know that you didn't have professional training in music, maybe you wouldn't have my second purpose. Zhang Shaoyu took a sip of coffee, looked at Zhang Cheng, and did not interject.

"I've been doing entertainment for some time. has some understanding of the entertainment industry and the Internet. From what I just said, I can see that you seem to be very disgusted with hype. Right?" asked Zhang Cheng with a smile.

Zhang Shaoyu nodded and did not deny it.

"That's not going to work!" Zhang Cheng's tone was affirmative. "Every industry, every circle, has its own underlying rules. And especially in the entertainment industry and the Internet is the most unique. I personally appreciate you, really, especially after knowing that you are not professionally trained. Just imagine, if you are from a professional class and studied at a conservatory or something, it is not unusual to create such a work and achieve such results, not to mention, the role of hype in this accounts for a large proportion.

Thankfully, you're not trained in this area. I used to listen to your songs, and I also felt that in the creation of lyrics and songs, you are unrestrained and imaginative, which is both your advantage and disadvantage. Good music is about being within the rules, and it's about highlighting your style to the greatest extent. You haven't done this yet, little brother, remember, style is the soul of music, and a work without style can't become a classic anyway. ”

Zhang Shaoyu listened very carefully, although these words did not sound too pleasant.

"I'm glad that you're not complacent about what you've achieved. Oh, by the way, you also have a problem with your singing voice, you don't do a good job of some breathing, radio, and your transposition and nasal voice, which should have been your characteristic, may have become a bit nondescript because you didn't have professional guidance. Hehe, I'm sorry, I'm also a half-ass, I don't know what to say. If you can do all of these things well, then you are God. ”

Zhang Shaoyu smiled heartily: "God, what god? If I become a god, then the Internet will be full of gods and Buddhas." Brother Cheng, thank you for your opinion, I will pay attention. ”

"Well, alas, I interviewed some big names before, and you have to give a little opinion, but they themselves are all concerned and won't say anything, those assistants can kill you with their eyes. Interviewing you, it feels a lot easier, haha. ”

Zhang Shaoyu took out a cigarette and just wanted to light it, when he suddenly remembered that this was a café and he couldn't smoke. put it back again, and then said: "I'm just an ordinary person, you can see it, so you came to interview me, if I play with you, then what kind of person will I become?"

When Zhang Cheng heard this, he came to his senses, sat up straight on the sofa: "Oh, that's the case." Frankly speaking, the Internet is also full of glitz now, and it is almost impossible to become famous without hype. Sister Furong, Tianxian MM, far away or Mu Zimei, Rogue Yan, etc., which one didn't make a fortune by hype? Hype is a double-edged sword, there are pros and cons, it depends on how you use it.

I'm not afraid to tell you that the current entertainment news is all hype and fake news. Some of them are speculations by reporters, while others are purely gimmicks thrown out by the parties themselves. All said, in such an environment, not hyping does not mean that it can't be done, at least, it will make you take a lot of detours. Although you don't want to join the entertainment industry, and you don't have such an opportunity now, you always have to mix on the Internet, right?

Brother, you must learn to use all the opportunities you can use to build momentum for yourself and attract more people's attention. In this way, it is possible for your work to be familiar to more and more people. As far as I know, before you and Xiaoyaolang came out, there were a few so-called little kings of online creation, but this paragraph disappeared, and it is estimated that it was poached by which record company. None of them will be worse than you in terms of creation. There's a lot to learn. ”

The coffee in Zhang Shaoyu's hand was already cold, but he didn't notice it at all, he was focused on listening to Zhang Cheng's words, which was too important to him. It's never a bad thing to be able to hear different voices. He knew in his heart that what Zhang Cheng said was very pertinent, which was more valuable than those praises.

"Brother Cheng, thank you, it seems that I am still too tender. Zhang Shaoyu said with a smile.

Zhang Cheng looked at him and asked tentatively, "What's wrong?

"No! No! Absolutely not! Really, it inspires me a lot, yes, and I admit that my work is still flawed and not perfect. This is an indisputable fact, but I will try to improve, and I will learn whatever is missing. Someday, I'll make my work appreciated by everyone. When Zhang Shaoyu spoke, he was not so impassioned, nor did he have a confident face. But in Zhang Cheng's opinion, the young man in front of him, in addition to being a little crazy, is extremely confident, which is simply awe-inspiring.
