On January 1, 2007, Shen Fu's English single "Feel-It-All" was released, which was well received at home and abroad!

Foreign media praised "Feel-It-All" because a kind of purity was heard from this song. Simple arrangement, simple instruments, simple melody, but people can hear amazing musical transformation.

The domestic media praised "Feel-It-All" because the foreign media praised it first, and some media who were on the wrong side in the "gay" storm wanted to show favor to Shen Fu.

With red and white, it is normal for people.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Shen Fu's "creative talent" has made her a strong contender for the first sister in the Chinese music scene. If she is a little more successful in the international music scene, she deserves to be crowned "Asian diva".

The reason why it is so much worse is that Shen Fu's works are not a little enough, and her reference is not those who rely on a song to eat for a lifetime. The second is that she hasn't held a concert yet, generally speaking, record sales and popularity at the concert site are the hard criteria for testing singers, and if she doesn't have a concert for a day, her market value has not been stable.

However, in 2007, both inside and outside the circle, I felt that Shen Fu was different from the past. She is still the independent singer who opened her own studio, and she is still the elegant woman who is indifferent, but this return, Shen Fu's first impression is that she has accumulated a lot of money and made a strong return.

The day after the release of "Feel-It-All", the search index on the Internet reached a hot level, and correspondingly, people's expectations for "Garan Listen to the Rain" were also higher.

On the third day of the release of the new song, "Feel-It-All" began to appear on the major music charts in Europe and the United States, and many music programs and music magazines commented on Shen Fu's "strong style" new song MV, saying that this is an unexpected transformation, and they are sure that only an eclectic and changeable original singer like Shen Fu can truly surprise people.

Businessmen's sense of smell is the most sensitive, and as soon as the new song came out, the number of advertisers who contacted Shen Fu's agent soared from 8 to 23, many of which were well-known brands.

Shen Fu could have been more popular, but she was robbed of the limelight.

…………

On January 6, foreign media broke the heavy news: Obi Kangcha, one of the eight famous estates, ushered in a new Chinese owner; the first Chinese mainland buyer in the Bordeaux region bought a top château with a lot of money.

Immediately after that, domestic media reported that the new owner of Obi Kangzhuang was not the Zhu family, a legendary family in the mainland that was rumored before, but a mysterious young rich man surnamed Bian. According to sources, the two parties to the transaction signed a confidentiality agreement, and the specific transaction amount was not disclosed. However, according to industry estimates, the minimum transaction price should also be between 4 billion and 5 billion yuan.

As soon as the report came out, the domestic Internet became excited.

This kind of exuberance is not surprising at all, it comes from the national inferiority complex that has been accumulated in the flesh and blood bones and even genes of the Chinese since the Opium War.

Why is Shen Fu popular, why can he be quickly promoted to the status of a diva?

The song is good, and entering the international music scene and winning awards is the second.

If you insist on allocating a percentage to the two items of good song and foreign awards, Shen Fu won the best single of the year in MTVEMA, which accounts for at least 70%. In other words, Shen Fu's success today is largely due to the fact that she won awards abroad, because she represented the Chinese and brushed up on behalf of Westerners.

For a long time, Chinese people have been extremely eager to be accepted, to be respected, to be recognized by the West, extremely concerned about the perception of foreigners, and many times, even use the evaluation of foreigners as a yardstick to measure themselves.

This kind of thinking is widespread and pervasive, permeating every aspect and corner of Chinese society.

Not long ago, in April 2006, the Global Times sponsored the "50 Most Worthwhile Places in China for Foreigners" selection is an example, as a "mainstream media", there is nothing wrong with engaging in gimmicks to promote tourism, but the angle of his subject is very problematic.

Why not one of the "50 Most Loved Chinese Scenic Spots by Foreigners"?

Why not one of the "50 Chinese Scenic Spots Foreigners Can't Miss"?

Why is it "the 50 best places in China for foreigners to visit"?

Three sentences, do you see the difference?

Just as a media commentator said: Why do you care so much about the eyes of foreigners in China's scenic spots? Ranking one's own scenic spots from the perspective of foreigners is itself a kind of cultural inferiority consciousness that ties into the aesthetics of foreigners.

As a result, more and more people who can't get along in foreign countries know one thing: Go to China! China likes to listen to foreign monks chanting scriptures, and Chinese women are very enthusiastic.

It's not just this scenic spot selection.

In the society we live in, many things are really "good" when foreigners say "good". It's like a foreigner popping up on the TV from time to time to advertise, just like a variety show that sings, dances, and says tongue twisters must find two white-skinned or dark-skinned international students to participate in order to be popular, just like the Spring Festival Gala in the Chinese New Year's Eve also has to find a few foreign faces to prove that we have become international...... Just like when the domestic media wants to argue that our development speed is rare in the world, they talk about it for a while, and in the end, they must quote how to affirm, how to marvel, and how to feel incredible in foreign media reports to make a final decision.

Also, a niche movie covered by clouds and mountains and fog originally had a mediocre response, but as long as it won an award abroad that was neither light nor heavy, not salty or light, it immediately became famous, and the Chinese people admired it to watch it, and N film critics let it go to an afterthought to interpret it deeply.

This is still a small award, if it is mixed with a slightly heavyweight award, the director of the film can basically take over the N large-scale production zuò to compete for the New Year, and the main actors of the film will immediately be promoted to the first-line and second-tier salaries, and the film will definitely remain in Chinese film history. Then no matter whether they have seen it or not, when they meet each other, they must give a thumbs up and brag together: "It's really good-looking, there is depth, there are feelings, there are ideas! I can't watch it once, I have to watch it at least three times, and I didn't see it the first time......

So, in fact, Chinese movies are very easy to make, and many young directors are following the old path of several famous predecessors.

From the script to the shooting, I was thinking about going abroad to win awards, and I didn't think about the box office or anything at all, I only needed to think about what foreigners wanted to see, or in other words, I only needed to consider what China was like in the impression of foreigners. At that time, as long as the Chinese imagery elements in the minds of foreigners are put together, and then add a little oriental, ancient, mysterious, backward, ignorant, pseudo-folklore, and nondecent...... That is equivalent to winning a prize double insurance.

As long as you win an award abroad, the road to becoming a director is accessible, and there is no problem at all in marrying a well-known beautiful actress, giving birth to him 3, 4, 5, or 6 children is equal to a drizzle, and a minute is a big winner in life.

Well, Shen Fu inadvertently embarked on a shortcut to fame that countless singers have dreamed of but could not get with "Rolling-in-the-deep".

Shen Fu used her "creative talent" to satisfy the national self-esteem of the Chinese people, so she was sought after.

The young rich man surnamed Bian in the report on the French winery used his "wealth" to satisfy the national pride of the Chinese people.

Although 99.99% of people have never drunk Obicom red wine, and a considerable number of people have never heard of this brand of red wine, but now this centuries-old red wine brand has been accepted by Chinese and has become the top winery owned by Asians, and domestic netizens are still full of praise, believing that this is one of the achievements of Chinese, and there is an honor.

Male...... Surname Bian...... Young...... Plutocrat......

The above 8 words have become popular words in news posts and forums.

Some people speculate about the full name of the young rich man, some people search for photos of the young rich man, some people put the topic at the top of the topic to bet whether the young rich man is married, and some people ask, "Who is his father? Who is his father-in-law?"

Although the discussion was lively, there was too little useful information in the report, and it was impossible to guess the outline.

It is rumored that some media have posted a profile photo of the young mysterious rich man before, but it didn't take long for it to be deleted.

Delete...... Except...... Finish......

What a rich man! This energy is not covered!

As the news continues to spread, a group of young models are gearing up and are already hungry. Everyone says: Young rich people or something, people like it the most!

…………

After 6 years of struggle, Bian Xuedao, who successfully became a "rich" man, was very busy in France at this time.

He had to hand over all the formalities and the property, pacify the estate's large team of employees, pay the salaries of the vineyard workers, winemakers, cleaners, salesmen, winery managers, secretaries, gardeners, etc., and deal with all kinds of reports and phone calls from the country.

This time was exposed by the media, and Bian Xuedao did not expect it.

He thought it would take a while to complete the program, but he didn't expect the second half to suddenly speed up.

In fact, the reason for this situation is that the French side does not want the top wineries in their own country to be "lightly" or "premeditated" by buyers to change hands again and again. In the eyes of the French, the turmoil caused by the frequent change of hands of the winery is very detrimental to the continuation of the brand's value and the maintenance and inheritance of the brand's unique brewing process. If it's other small wineries, it doesn't matter, but these are the top eight famous wineries, and they can't be destroyed.

Therefore, within the scope of the agreement and agreement, the insider revealed the buyer's surname to the local French media to prevent the winery from changing the surname "zhu" to the surname "bian", and then from the surname "bian" to anything else.

Bian Xuedao felt that he was cold, and he was pushed into the spotlight.

He was not very accustomed to this feeling, and according to his original intention, this transaction should not only be low-key, quietly enter the village, and shoot without shooting, and it is better to be anonymous.

Outcome...... Not only was it not anonymous, but even the photos were sent.

He found Ma Chengde and asked Ma Chengde to find a way.

Ma Chengde asked Bian Xuedao: "If the wealth has accumulated to a certain extent, it will be exposed sooner or later, why are you so resistant?"

Bian Xuedao said: "This winery is too high-end, my current wealth level is far from this magnitude, if it is dug up by someone with a heart......

After listening to this, Ma Chengde thought for a while and said: "What you said is not a problem at all if you are replaced by another person, but you are young and your entrepreneurial time is too short, which is indeed a loophole." However, it is not as strict as you think, because the money used for trading is clean. In this way, I can ask you to delete the photos on the Internet, and if you feel that it is really necessary to clarify, you can say that you got venture capital, or that the winery and one of your companies have a share swap. ”

"Equity swaps?" Bian Xuedao smiled wryly and said, "To be honest, my company is not worth $1 billion." ”

Ma Chengde also smiled: "You really have to continue to cultivate, there is a word called innovation premium, have you heard of it?"
