Chapter 958: The Meaning of the Festival
Everyone in the business committee also looked at each other and was a little loose, Minister Da looked at Boxi, both of them were a little helpless, but they had to admit that Su Huai had some truth, Minister Da still couldn't convince himself, and said helplessly:
"But this song is still too naΓ―ve, Mr. Su, I still want you to think about it carefully. β
Master Percy also said bitterly: "Not only is it naΓ―ve, but the melody does not have any sparkle point, which may not achieve the purpose that Mr. Su said." β
Su Huai thought about it for a while, and also felt that it was more difficult for the Commercial Committee to accept this matter, so he put forward a compromise suggestion:
"I think so, anyway, it's still early before the Spring Festival, let's record the song first, and everyone will pick out some pilots in their supermarkets and shopping malls, and broadcast "Spring Song" and "Congratulations" and "Wishing you prosperity" respectively, and then look at the results of their respective gift sales, and then decide which one is the Spring Festival song. β
This kind of thing is a verbal argument that will not produce results, so let's use the facts to speak.
Although everyone in the committee felt that the two songs created by Su Huai were very substandard, but thinking that the promotion of this Spring Festival song must be promoted by Su Huai, Minister Da could only say:
"Then follow Mr. Su's opinion, but if the final result is "Spring Song", then we hope to add "Spring Song" to the joint singing of the Spring Festival Gala. β
He asked his friend Master Percy to make such a good song, how could he do it without promoting it.
Guo Wei was dissatisfied next to him: "How can it work, our program has been arranged, and the ......program will be changed temporarily."
"Okay, I agree to this condition. Su Huai interrupted Guo Wei and agreed.
After everyone agreed, Su Huai also signed a formal agreement with the Commerce Committee.
As soon as he went out, Guo Wei looked at Su Huai and asked with some anxiety: "Teacher, do you really think that our two congratulatory songs can promote the sales of supermarket gifts?"
Although Su Huai said some theories, no one knows whether the business logic is valid.
"Don't worry, you can just continue to organize rehearsals without worrying about changing the opening show. β
Su Huai smiled slightly. I thought, the power of this Chinese New Year song has been proven by countless Chinese supermarkets and shopping malls, and the managers of those supermarkets and shopping malls are not fools, why are there so many holiday songs, and later, Chinese stores are almost the same?
That's all because of the statistics, the most able to increase store sales, just a few, the magic of music can't be explained, but the sales data can speak.
In the evening, Su Huai directly pulled Cuicui to a professional recording studio in Geneva, and produced the Chinese New Year version of "Wishing you prosperity" and "Congratulations" overnight.
"Why don't you use my version?" Fang Long said a little unconvinced as he watched Cuicui record songs in the studio.
Su Huai glanced at Fang Long, and said as a matter of course:
"The New Year's song in the store, a big taboo is that you can't let people hear the song and think of any bad memories, it's best to use a singer who is not familiar to everyone, you are a celebrity now, everyone knows you, and you will be more famous in the future, in case you do something bad in the future, such as cheating after marriage or something, everyone hears your song, and wants to scold the negative man, then this song will be blind......"
Fang Long was surprised: "I'm not married, how can I cheat." β
Su Huai sighed and said earnestly: "Senior Brother Fang, I also hope that the mistakes that men all over the world will make will not appear to you." β
"No way! My Shaolin disciple is very decent!" Fang Long gritted his teeth and said.
"Well, you just remember. Su Huai didn't speak anymore, just patted him on the shoulder.
"Senior Brother Su, why are you so unconfident in me, do you think I look like a flowery person?" Fang Long felt that he had been misunderstood, patted his chest and asked Guo Weidao next to him:
"Guo Wei, you are engaged in tourism! Didn't you learn those Taoist things and show people faces every day! You show me, my Fang Long seems to be the kind of person with a heart?"
Guo Wei carefully looked at Fang Long's face and gave a pertinent evaluation of "very similar to ......"
When Fang Long was stunned on the spot, everyone in Sumen who was dining next to him burst into laughter.
After two days of intense production, the commercial committee also received the audio of "Wishing you prosperity" and "Congratulations", which were posted online to various supermarket stores and began to be played in different stores with "Spring Song".
In just a few days, many supermarket stores, as soon as people go in to shop, they either hear the loudspeaker: "Congratulations, congratulations, congratulations~!" or "Congratulations on making a fortune, congratulations on your wonderful~~!"
When the "Defend Christmas" activities in Europe and the United States were boiling and noisy, signs were held up to protest against this group of people from all over the country, and suddenly when they entered the mall, they heard these two songs with the characteristics of the Spring Festival, which made countless protesters stupid!
In order to protect Western civilization, they have worked hard to protest, how come you supermarket and store merchants have collectively rebelled all of a sudden!
And even if it's a mutiny, it's such an ugly Spring Festival song! It's too deceitful~~
Su Huai and Su Men were eating together in the interval of the UN General Assembly meeting, when they saw Guo Wei looking at his laptop, slapping the table and scolding angrily: "These grandsons who 'defend Christmas' are scolding people again! It's endless! Did we dig up their ancestral graves or what's wrong!"
Su Huai leaned over to take a look, it turned out that on the official website of the Spring Festival Gala, countless people were commenting on the last two Spring Festival songs, and almost ten of the ten messages were scolding.
"Poof...... What kind of song is this~~"
"Is it a song made by Chinese people to promote the Spring Festival?"
"I feel like I'm going to die laughing, congratulations from the beginning to the end~~"
"This Spring Festival is too brainless, and it is too far from the temperament of Christmas. β
"It's really disgusting, this broken song is also worthy of being played in the mall, or Su Huai wrote the lyrics and composed the music, and it was a shame to throw it home. β
"I strongly protested to go to the supermarket and was insulted to the ear!"
Cuicui on the side watched so many people scolding her song, and her little face was also a little depressed, and she whispered to Su Huai:
"Teacher, why don't you take my song down......"
"No need to change. Su Huai smiled and touched Cuicui's little head: "Your song is actually to teach people how to celebrate the festival, you sing it very well, these Europeans and Americans don't understand the meaning of the festival at all,"
"How to teach people to celebrate the festival?" Cuicui was a little stunned and asked, "Do you still need someone to teach you to celebrate the festival?"
Of course, most people in this world don't know how to celebrate the festival or the meaning of saying auspicious words. Su Huai couldn't help but put down his chopsticks and sighed:
In fact, the festival is to give people hope and blessings, let people let go of the pressure, triviality, and cruelty in their daily lives, and happily experience the beauty of life together, giving people a sense of hope.
Although these Chinese New Year songs are childish and simple, they convey this simple and beautiful wish, wishing everyone well, and hoping that during the festival, everyone will meet and say auspicious words of blessing to each other, so that each other will be happy. β
Saying that, Su Huai asked Cuicui and said, "Think about it, now that we are together for the holidays, what are we talking about when we get together?"
Cuicui thought about it and said angrily:
"Now my relatives are together during the holidays, and they all ask me if my academic performance is good, ask if my cousin is married, ask how much money my cousin earns every month, and so on...... On the surface, he cares about others, but in fact, he is showing off himself by suppressing the other party!
"Yes, the people who say these things during the festival just don't understand the wisdom of our traditional Chinese festivals, and they won't even pass the festival, how sad it is to be a man. Su Huai smiled and touched Cuicui's head:
"So, the song you sing is to teach everyone how to celebrate the Spring Festival, I believe that although a small number of people like to speak coldly, in the festival posture of 'everyone is drunk and I wake up', but most people still hope for a lively and beautiful festival ......"
As he was talking, he heard a familiar voice not far away: "Su nerd~~ Go quickly, the committee is looking for us, the store data has come out in the past few days~~"
