Sun Tongzheng and a few people were wandering around the resort, and this time the company used a lot of resources and contacts to get him an invitation to the Gangnam Music Festival.

This also made him so excited that he couldn't sleep at night, and he arrived in Jiangnan City a few days in advance, and he was hanging out with a group of big names and veterans in the folk music industry every day.

Sun Tong relied on his ability to not want Bilian, through a few days of smuggling and flattery, and finally got acquainted with a few folk singers, and was willing to follow them as a little brother.

The few next to him are all well-known figures in the national folk music circle, especially the middle-aged man named Shi Hong, who is definitely a big brother in the folk song circle.

Shi Hong and several of them have a very high status in the niche music circle, and many niche independent musicians who perform on the roadside see them getting up one after another and greet them very respectfully.

And Shi Hong and the others nodded at most, and some simply ignored it.

"Lao Shi, the situation of niche music is very grim now, especially our folk singers, and it is becoming more and more difficult to sell songs online. ”

"Isn't it, an album I released last year has been released online for more than a year, but the number of downloads of several songs together is less than 10 million times, which is 30% less than before. This is still the support of my old fans, and those second- and third-tier singers have even more dismal results. ”

Listening to the complaints of the two people next to him, Shi Hong nodded solemnly.

"Our folk circle has really not wanted to make progress over the years. Many singers have an album that is popular, and they begin to rely on a few songs to perform around to make money, and they can't set their hearts to create at all. Constant repetition is a shameful act for an artist and a manifestation of the fading of art. ”

He sighed at this.

"There are also many new folk singers, who rely on kitsch and unconventionality to attract attention, and it is even more intolerable, is this simply a pseudo-folk song dressed in the garb of mainstream music. In the final analysis, the threshold for folk songs is too low, and no matter who can come in and mess around. ”

Several folk song celebrities next to him also feel the same way.

Sun Tong also said with a smile: "Teacher Shi, this phenomenon is indeed very serious now, such as that Dongzi, which is a typical pseudo-folk song. As a folk singer, he even wrote a lot of pop music, and such a person still wants to blend into the folk circle, I think he is an opportunist. ”

"Hmph...... A student who has not yet graduated, relying on a little cleverness, dressed in a folk cloak, and singing his pseudo-folk songs, is simply a desecration of niche music. As long as I am for a day, he will never want to step into the circle of folk songs. ”

At this time, the road ahead was blocked by a dense crowd.

Shi Hong glanced at Sun Tong, and the other party immediately ran over with understanding, squeezing into the crowd to see what was going on.

After a while, Sun Tongcai struggled to squeeze out of the crowd.

"Teacher Shi, hehe...... The person who performs here is that Dongzi. ”

Shi Hong sneered and said, "Hmph...... It's really grandstanding, and now participating in the Gangnam Music Festival is no longer so pure, and the appreciation level of people who come here is getting worse and worse. Walk...... We'll meet this Dongzi when we go in. ”

Sun Tong immediately became excited when he heard this, but he didn't show anything, but added another fire.

"Teacher Shi, don't go, this Dongzi has some fame by himself, very arrogant, last time because I said a few words to him, he has been haunted, every time he sees me, he is cold. ”

When Shi Hong heard this, his impression of Li Dong was even worse.

"Today's young people don't know how to respect their predecessors at all, and they don't know how to be arrogant when they have some achievements, but I really want to see how arrogant he is. ”

At this time, Li Dong had just finished singing a song, and many niche fans around him applauded his singing.

Li Donggang wanted to say something, Li Guangnan lowered his head and said in his ear: "Dongzi, that person's name is Shi Hong, and he is very good in the folk song circle, you better go up and say hello." ”

After listening to Li Guangnan's words, Li Dong just wanted to stand up, but saw that Shi Hong and others had already walked up.

There were still many people who listened to the song just now, and when they saw a few folk singers coming, they all gathered around excitedly.

There are also many niche independent musicians performing nearby, who also gathered around, thinking that a few folk singers want to promote the future.

When Li Dong saw Sun Tong following behind, he suddenly smiled bitterly in his heart, with this guy stirring up in the middle, how good can these big names in the folk music industry have a good impression of him.

But Li Dong still stood up with a smile, and smiled at Shi Hong: "Teacher Shi ......"

Shi Hong glanced at Li Dong with a smile, and then said lightly: "You are Dongzi, I have heard your songs." ”

Li Dong smiled and said: "I am still a student, if there is any shortcoming, I will need more guidance from Teacher Shi in the future." ”

His posture is very low, and he doesn't want to offend the big names in this folk circle for no reason.

But Li Dong is so modest and cautious, Shi Hong and others have no appreciation, and their impression of Li Dong has not changed in the slightest.

Shi Hong glanced at Li Dong and said lightly: "Dongzi, it is said that those songs are selling well, since you call me a teacher, then I will tell you." ”

Li Dong was a little unhappy in his heart, I was just polite to you, you really think you are a teacher.

"Dongzi, I've listened carefully to your songs, which campus-style folk songs, although the arrangements are immature and the songs are straightforward, they are also in line with your identity as a student, and it's still good to sing them on campus. But the other songs lack a minimum of musicality and artistry. It's not that simple to create, do you think that a few simple broken chords, coupled with incomprehensible lyrics, are they called ballads?

You are still young, you need to accumulate more, but also learn from your predecessors with an open mind, listen more, see more, experience more, and have a certain experience before considering creation. Although the threshold for entry into folk songs is low, the musicality and artistry of folk songs cannot be desecrated. I heard that you also wrote a lot of pop music, and we niche musicians should be profound, more thoughtful, stick to our own musical style, and don't cater to the mainstream for the sake of grandstanding, that's kitsch. ”

Shi Hongyang said a lot of things, and Li Dong was very unhappy in his heart.

Paralyzed, why do you talk so much nonsense.

Whoever sings the ballad to, of course, is sung to the literary fan and the little fresh.

To put it bluntly, hypocritical people listen to any song as if they are singing themselves, and they are the main audience of folk songs.

If you talk to me about musicality and artistry with folk songs, aren't you a hooligan?

"Mr. Shi, sometimes the more you look at simple things, the less simple they are to do, and some things that are not so complicated are just complicated, which is no different from the nouveau riche showing off his wealth. Why is it called a ballad, first of all, it must be close to life, and secondly, it is necessary to tell the story sincerely and seriously. Divorced from life, it is like spring and snow, and it is not better to listen to classical music.

And I think you have a misunderstanding about pop music, in my opinion, there is no such thing as bad music, the difference is in the audience, as long as the music can move people, it is good music. Even if it is niche music, it is born out of mainstream music, and the reason why it is called niche music is that the audience is small, and it is not necessarily elegant or pure. In my opinion, the trumpet of the northwest boatman and the song of the mountain people in southern Xinjiang are the purest and most authentic music. ”

Shi Hong said a lot just now, he was in a very good mood, and he was secretly complacent in his heart, this forced pretending to be very level.

Who knew that Li Dong was not used to anything wrong at all, and he also sprinkled a lot of things, and said that Shi Hong was red-faced.

Who wouldn't pretend to be forced, he didn't do anything else in his previous life, he just learned how to pretend to be forced.

Shi Hong's face was so angry that his face turned red, and even a few folk singers next to him were trembling with anger from Li Dong.

When Sun Tong saw it, he suddenly came to his senses.

"Li Dong, you are a newcomer, how can you talk to your seniors. Teacher Shi patiently taught you, you are so arrogant, I really don't know what to do. ”

Li Dong was amused by this thing.

"Teacher Shi and I are discussing music, is there anything wrong with that? There's something wrong with us niche indie musicians sticking to our own musical philosophy. Do you want me to learn from you, like a dog, giving you a bone, and not even wanting dignity? If you dare to claim to be a niche musician, you deserve ......"

Sun Tong was so angry with Li Dong that his liver hurt, he pointed at Li Dong, held his breath in his chest, and almost spurted out a mouthful of blood.

The onlookers next to them all looked stupid.

The scene just now made them dumbfounded.

This Li Dong is too bold, these are big names in the folk music industry, don't he want to mix in this circle.

In front of so many people, Shi Hong felt very faceless.

He took a deep breath and said coldly: "Dongzi, you are not worthy of being a niche musician at all, let alone a folk singer. ”

Li Dong laughed.

"Mr. Shi, am I worthy of being a folk singer, what you say doesn't count, what the audience says. ”

"You ......"

This time Shi Hong was angry, and several folk singers next to him hurriedly grabbed Shi Hong and accused Li Dong one after another.

Li Dong was still smiling, not angry at all, in the face of the repeated reproaches of several big names, he was not stage frightened at all, and he had the meaning of tongue warfare.

In the end, Shi Hong and the others really couldn't talk about him, so they could only leave a few cruel words, and then left in disgrace, looking very embarrassed.

The niche musicians around all took the first step, for fear of being seen by a few big coffees and then harming the pond fish.

A group of niche music fans watched it with relish.

The tearing scene just now was so exciting, Li Dong alone made a few old guys angry and walked away.

Not to mention whether Li Dong's views are right or wrong, his eloquence alone is enough to shock everyone.

Li Guangnan was also scared silly, just now he pulled Li Dong vigorously, but this kid didn't care about it and just wanted to be happy for a while.

"Dongzi, how can you let me say hello, I offended these people, how will you gain a foothold in the folk song circle in the future, why are you so disrespectful and worry-free. ”

Li Dong smiled and didn't speak, he didn't take it seriously at all, what could these guys do to him.

Anyway, he has songs, and he will copy them all in the future.

It's still the same sentence, there is no good work, it's useless to say anything, and the audience is not stupid.
