Bo aimed at the promotion of Fang You, Wang Bo and Cheng Wenjin discussed for a long time, and finally unanimously decided to "do it yourself, have enough food and clothing", don't contact the American record company first, and after Fang You's song and herself became popular through their own means, everyone was looking for who Angela was, and then showed up to negotiate with the company with a keen sense of smell and took the initiative to come to the door to ask for cooperation.

This is what Wang Bohao said to Cheng Wenjin and Fang You after learning that the two women who were like the meat of his heart were continuously rejected by the American record company and continuously ate closed-door soup:

"Today they ignore you, tomorrow I will make them unattainable!"

In the United States in 2003, when there was no mobile Internet and the Internet was not very developed, there were two feasible ways to get a new song from an unknown singer to come out:

The first is to upload the song to major music websites, so that netizens and fans can listen to it for free, the quality of the music is good enough, there are more people who click on it, and it is on the charts, and it naturally enters the sight of the record company.

However, although this method is the fastest and most hassle-free, it is very difficult to come up with. Without him, the Internet is too wide and too big, and there are so many people who want to eat the bowl of music that they don't know how many cats and dogs upload their new works every day. But those who can be on the homepage and on the list are basically the hot songs and red songs of authorized well-known singers, and the unknown pure newcomers want to be discovered in this sea of songs looking for a needle in a haystack, pay attention, and then click wildly and get on the list, uh, it's not that there is no chance at all, but the chance is similar to winning the lottery.

Besides, if a person really has a good voice and a person really has strong creative ability, why should he go online? Go directly to the record company to cooperate, package, and make him popular.

The second is to send the song to the major music radio stations and music TV stations in the United States to try their luck, see if they can be discerned and found by luck, and then broadcast them on the music stations and music TV stations, and even let them be willing to take the initiative to help publicize and promote the "tap water".

————————————

At the beginning of November 2003, an "author" named "Angel" uploaded an English song called "Rolling/In/the/Deep" on major music streaming websites in English-speaking countries such as the United Kingdom, the United States, Australia, Canada, and New Zealand. The lyrics, composers, and arrangements for this English song were written by "Angel" himself and a guy named "Victor".

Immediately afterwards, the major major music stations and music television stations in the United Kingdom, the United States, Australia, Canada, and New Zealand received a letter from Fedex, the content of the letter was a CD, and a short explanatory text attached to the CD, stating the title of the CD, the lyrics attached, and the author of the lyrics, music and arrangement of the song.

Mainstream music radio and television stations in Europe and the United States receive a large number of emails from all over the country almost every day, and the vast majority of them are letters from listeners - a certain listener listened to a certain song played by the radio station/television station on a certain day, a certain month, a certain day, and a certain time, and was deeply touched, evoking his/her good memories, and came to express his gratitude, or asked to play it again.

There are also some emails that are self-recommendation letters from some music newcomers who want to get ahead, but can't find a way out, offering their recorded works, and asking the radio/TV station to help broadcast them and promote them.

Of course, most of these demands are ignored by the radio/television stations - don't you need money to be a radio/television station?

When Fang You sent the letter, Wang Bo asked Fang You to deliberately hide his surname in the sender's column, leaving only an English name of "Angel", so as to make the recipient think that the sender was an American, so as to increase the success rate of being favored, opened, and auditioned. Otherwise, if the recipient finds that the sender has a strange surname, and cannot tell whether it is Chinese, Korean, RB, or Vietnamese, it is estimated that he will not even be interested in opening the letter and looking at it.

In the European and American world, although there may not be racial discrimination on the table because of the need for political correctness, discrimination against ethnic minorities is everywhere offstage, especially when you are still little known and have no status.

Since he wants to slap his face, Wang Bo thinks that he might as well be ruthless! He is very looking forward to and curious when musicians, media people, and people in the entertainment industry all over the United States and all over the world are extremely curious about which purebred "blonde beauty" or which "mixed-race black girl" is the female singer named "Angel", who is as her name suggests, and has an angelic voice, when he finally finds out that it is a yellow-skinned, black-eyed "Oriental sister", the expression that is about to fall off!

In this regard, he has infinite anticipation and curiosity!

Of course, Wang Bo asked Fang You to "stay incognito" and not reveal his nationality for the time being, not only for spoofing, but also to see the glasses dropped by British and American people, which is also a promotion strategy. Now he, in this era when there is no "wall", can completely mobilize Fang You's fans in China and send them directly to the top of the major music lists of European and American Internet pop music, but in that way, Fang You's Chinese and Chinese identity will be exposed.

The current world is still an era in which Europe and the United States have great prejudice against China, the Chinese, and even the entire Asians, and they don't look down on it, no matter how good the songs he writes, no matter how good they are, no matter how beautiful Fang You's singing voice is, no matter how rare it is, for a large number of people who hold arrogance, prejudice, and hatred of the house and the psychology of the house, they will turn a blind eye, do not watch, do not listen, and will even find opportunities to slander, slander, and secretly boycott a Chinese, and it is also the rise of a Chinese in Europe and the United States!

Chinese people have appeared a lot of excellent singers, classic, wonderful, and good songs that have been sung for decades, such as the four kings of Xiangjiang, like Teresa Teng, Faye Wong, Stefanie Sun, Liang Jingru, Na Ying, Han Hong, these Chinese divas at home and abroad, including the multi-talented superstar Jay Chou who later became popular all over Asia, these people are good enough, well-known enough, and their songs are also good, and they are easy to listen to? Even if Jay Chou, who became so popular in Asia later, walked out on the streets of Europe and the United States, he neither needed makeup nor bodyguards, because whites and blacks didn't know who he was. Could it be that Jay Chou is not excellent? He has no talent? His songs are not good? "European and American ghost animals" can't understand it?

Definitely not!

This, on the one hand, is due to the language barrier, and Chinese songs and English songs can be said to be art in different fields. Chinese songs are good, but covers into English songs are not necessarily good. The reverse is also true.

On the other hand, even if the cover is good, the level of singing English songs of the kings and queens above is not very good! If you want to sing English songs well, you must first speak basic English, and secondly, you have to go through a lot of hard professional practice. Chinese singing and English singing are very different, Chinese may not be able to hear, but foreigners will come out as soon as they hear it, just as Chinese can hear a foreigner sing Chinese songs with one ear. These two conditions are not possessed by many kings and queens, or they are unwilling to spend hard work to hone them.

Since Wang Bo met Fang You, he began to urge her to learn English and learn authentic English. Two years ago, she gave up her status as a first-line diva in China, took a lot of opportunities to make money, went to a foreign country, endured endless loneliness and loneliness, went to the world's top conservatory of music for further study, learned, polished her English singing skills, and trained until it was seamless, even Europeans and Americans couldn't hear it.

Let me ask, this kind of courage, this kind of reluctance and temporary abandonment, which king and queen can do it?

On the other hand, it is also a very important aspect, in Wang Bo's view, it is from the prejudice and arrogance of Asians in the European and American world—— people already look down on you, no matter how popular you are, no matter how good the song is, people will not be too lazy to listen to your name and skin when they look at your skin!

Therefore, it is precisely because of the unsmooth and even unsuccessful signing of the predecessors in the European and American music circles, in the early stage, at least before the European and American listeners who are full of pride and prejudice fall in love with Shang You's singing voice and Adele's song, it is best not to let those people know that it is a yellow-skinned and black-eyed Asian who sings this song! For this reason, when recording the song, Wang Bo also deliberately and seriously issued a gag order to several women around him who knew the inside story, and also signed a confidentiality agreement with a large number of staff members who recorded the song for Fang You.

Then, when everyone is fascinated and even worships this "Angel" who only hears his voice and does not see him, and then unveils the mystery of the singer, at that time, whether it is backlash or prejudice, it will be much smaller.

It's like a person who eats a delicious French meal, so he strongly wants to meet the French chef, but in the end he finds that it is not a French chef who comes out of the back kitchen, but a Chinese chef.

Probably not!

I will only be curious, surprised, even shocked, and stunned:

"I rely on! A Chinese can make French cuisine to this extent! The French should die!"

But the other way around, the effect is different. This person wants to eat a French meal, but finds that the cook is a Chinese chef, even if he immediately does not call the Chinese to get out, because of the prejudice in his heart, when the waiter brings the dish up, he will feel that the original delicious meal is not enough!

So, the order is important!
