Chapter 156: Cooperation

Wenzhen's unplanned popularity made Universal Company happy and anxious, it must be good to be popular, and what made them anxious was that the effect of becoming popular alone was not good.

What kind of popularity is a good popularity? At the same time as you are popular, there are works on the market, whether it is a movie, TV series or album singles, when the time comes, your works can digest your popularity, and your popularity can in turn help your works, which is called good popularity, simply just popularity, and you can't keep up with anything, and the final result can only be gradually dried up.

Wen Zhen's sudden popularity completely disrupted the original plan of Universal Company.

Originally, her company was ready to promote the gimmick of X and Insincerity providing songs together, and with this topic, Wen Zhen launched another promotion, so as to gain enough attention, and then released an album on the spot, but now she has suddenly become popular, if she still promotes it according to the original plan, it is likely that when X and Insincerity provide songs respectively, the public's interest in Wen Zhen has been consumed a lot, and it will not be as easy as it is now to set off a wave of topics.

What to do?

Universal made a quick decision, and immediately released the news that X cooperated with Insincere to provide songs, and then the company began to prepare for Wenzhen's album with all its might, originally planning to release a new album for practice at the end of the year, but finally decided to release it at the end of August, that is, about a month after the 24-hour plan of the comprehensive entertainment channel!

It is not easy to prepare an album in a month, all kinds of publicity, recording, suppression, MV shooting, review procedures, and even coordinating singers, and the wrong release time......

However, after all, Universal is one of the three major record companies in China, and the execution at the critical moment is still very strong, by mid-August, Wenzhen's album preparation has been done 80%, and then, while the heat is still there, the songs in the new album were announced in advance.

Not only in advance, but also in one go.

X and insincerity, this pair of singers who were bound together when they debuted before, even the songs released are so-for-tat!

Previously, Fan Cheng's incarnation of insincerity provided two songs to Wen Zhen, namely "Beautiful Mood" and "Transfiguration into the Wind", and X provided three songs, namely "School Heaven", "Blue Velvet" and "M", and later, for the sake of balance, the identity of Insincerity provided one more song to Wen Zhen, this song is "YES-YES-YES" by Kazumasa Oda.

Although this song is sung by boys,But there are many female voices in history who have covered it.,So there's no problem with letting Wenzhun sing it.,The first two songs that Wen Zhen announced,It's this song and "School Heaven.。

Regardless of the quality of the song, just the-for-tat news that X and Insincerity provided the same singer with a song immediately caused an explosive topic.

The popularity of X and Insincerity is actually quite subtle, how popular can two singers who don't show up and basically don't do publicity, but their songs are so good that until now, "Graduation" and "Full of Memories" There are almost no young people who can't sing the two songs, generally in this case, just like those singers who are not popular, people usually only remember the song and don't know the name of the singer, but this is the advantage of topicality, with X and insincere topicality, many people will think of the two tat singers when mentioning these two songs.

Universal is also very bad taste, the two songs are arranged to premiere on Imperial Satellite TV and Dragon TV, which can be broadcast nationwide, and even the broadcast time is about the same, so the setting is obviously for people to compare and argue.

Among them, the performance in the imperial capital is a summer concert hosted by CCTV Music Channel in the 80,000-person stadium, and the performance in the magic capital is the annual Bund Music Festival in the magic capital.

In order to be able to sing this song to perfection in the live performance, and in order to continue the topicality, Wen Zhen and Universal also made a lot of money, they contacted Fan Cheng through Sihai Records, and put forward the hope that X could appear in a music festival in the imperial capital in August.

Yes, not only did X come to the scene to help Wenzhen do instrumental accompaniment, but even invited X to sing a song of his own.

Looking for resources for artists who are not under their own, not to mention in the global company, even in music companies across the country, it is very rare, the company has resources not to the people under its umbrella but to the people of other companies, what will the people in their own company think?

But under the urgency of time, Universal had no choice but to make this decision, even so, they were worried, God knows if that X was willing to appear, it is said that X has already turned down many merchants' invitations to perform with a six-figure salary for a song.

Fan Cheng quickly agreed to Universal, only asking for a mask and asking Universal to help find a band.

He was already ready to start managing his identity and works in music, and it would be great if he could appear in two concerts this time.

Two days before the performance began, Fan Cheng went to the imperial capital and began to help Wen Zhen rehearse the song and practice his own singing.

At first, even during rehearsals, he still wore his mask, but soon he didn't want to wear a mask, and now the time is the hottest time of the year, and the stage is often blasted by various lights, and one or two songs can barely hold on, but rehearsals often have to be busy all day with too much heat, and then he got annoyed and simply decided not to wear a mask but to appear in a different way.

Although the appearance of X will cause some discussion, the attention is not very large, the entertainment industry is like this, if you can't always cause topics and attention, the audience is very fond of the new and tired of the old, just a single, after the discussion has passed, even if Fan Cheng's song has caused such a big response in graduation, even if it is the graduation season again, it is still difficult to continue last year's emotions to this year.

However, the song itself is more concerned than the two identities, and the audience clearly prefers this kind of singing rather than just singing.

Then when Wen Zhen appeared on the stage, the audience was surprised to find that the band behind her was all dressed up in a very exaggerated and visually striking way, the lead guitar was even more exaggerated, a huge wig, exaggerated clothes, and especially his face, which was painted with paint, looked like a Peking Opera artist!

Of course, no one will regard him as a Peking Opera artist, except for the makeup on his face, there is nothing like Peking Opera on him.

Wen Zhen introduced: "You may not know, this is the X who helped me make songs, and my achievements as a singer are also very good!"

The audience was in an uproar, this is X!? I used to refuse to appear on camera, and even if I came out, I was wearing a mask, but now I actually painted my face like this!?

However, the surprise of X is only a small part, and the audience is even more surprised by Wen Zhen.

I heard that many people speculated that she was going to sing fast when she cooperated with X, and when she really appeared in front of everyone, this surprise was even worse, Wen Zhen, who has always been a more quiet and stable character, appeared with such an exaggerated and rebellious makeup, and even she herself was dressed in black, looking quite handsome, of course, cute or very cute, Wen Zhen's cuteness is the kind of cuteness that can wear her own characteristics no matter what she wears, black clothes, and the visual kei band behind her can only set off her more cute rather than being robbed of attention.

Then the singing began,School Paradise,The fast-paced song is full of joy,This is a Wenzhen that the audience has never seen。

Wen Zhen's personal image in the past, singing "See Cooking Smoke Again" is very appropriate, but now she is obviously determined to completely change herself, she actually doesn't sing the song "See Cooking Smoke Again" anymore, she just suddenly realized after getting such an excellent fast song, why should she be bound by an image, she hopes that she can have more images, express her thoughts more freely, and contact more kinds of music.

School Heaven is a pop rock,The intense but funny melody is impressive and eye-opening at the same time,Who would have thought,Wen Zhen can still sing this kind of song?

And Wen Zhen on the stage sang completely high, she completely abandoned her original reserve, and swayed her body sharply with the sound of the guitar, releasing her emotions.

In the entertainment industry in China, there are no female singers who sing rock and roll so far, which is actually very subtle, Fan Cheng's history, whether it is Japan, Europe or the United States, there are a large number of female rock, but on the stage of Huaxia, even if there are some good female rock voices such as hopscotch, such as the non-door, it is often a flash in the pan, Fan Cheng has no intention of letting Wen Zhen be a rock band, but occasionally sing one or two pop rock, as long as the song is good enough, there is no problem.

Wen Zhen's performance was actually quite unexpected.

"School Heaven" this song he used to listen to the live version of Koizumi Shinri, Japan's top professional idol, in the release of his emotions, performing rock music this kind of work is very handy, that version is very classic.

Wen Zhen's performance, to be honest, Fan Cheng didn't expect much, there are no top female rock performers in Chinese history, even if a legend like Teresa Teng has performed rock in history, it is more like she is playing tickets, and she is not playing well, Fan Cheng doesn't think she can completely release herself.

But the girl's performance was completely beyond his expectations.

Wen Zhen on the stage is too dazzling, although she has never sung a similar song before, and the audience is the first time to hear her sing like this, in just over three minutes, she completely detonated the entire concert venue, watching her performance, it seems that she is really a pop rock singer.

As for Fan Cheng's performance in the back, it is much more "ordinary", based on the concept of his world visual kei band, singing "Graduation" a year ago, X's appearance seems to be just an ordinary commercial performance, even if it has such an exaggerated appearance, the influence is still far from Wen Zhen.

This is actually Fan Cheng's deliberate performance, this time it was originally a performance for tweets, if he is too eye-catching, it will inevitably dominate.

Wen Zhen's rock really caused a huge response, and on the next day's media reports, photos of Wen Zhen and the visual kei rock band behind him almost occupied all the headlines, and almost everyone knew that Wen Zhen had transformed!

Of course, the audience and fans can't accept this transformation immediately, although the audience at the scene listened to it very much, and the atmosphere was so good that it exploded, but the vast majority of people had never seen the performance, they just saw Wen Zhen's exaggerated makeup, and the more exaggerated visual kei band behind him, and many people immediately lost their minds.

Although she said before that she wanted to cooperate with X, everyone had some psychological preparation, but when she really appeared in front of the blow, it still didn't work!

Is this still the Wen Zhen we know!? I sang "See the Smoke Again" in the local TV series before, where is the innocent and heartwarming girl!?no! We can't accept it!

The opposition of public opinion is really loud, but fortunately, the audience's misunderstanding will not last long, because Wen Zhen is about to go to the magic capital, where she will sing insincere songs, and then the audience will know that Wen Zhen's rock is just a genre in the album.

Wen Zhen, who ended her performance in Beijing, got on the plane, but what she didn't know was that Fan Cheng was also on the plane.

As a star, Wen Zhen, who has been on the cusp of the storm these days, has taken the VIP channel, while Fan Cheng has been on the plane slowly with ordinary passengers, he has also worked hard these days, X's identity, it is good to hide from others, but it is not easy to hide from Wen Zhen, after all, some time ago, they were still very close to the uninhabited island, and it was good to say that they were wearing masks before, but they simply didn't even bring masks later, as long as they stared at Fan Cheng carefully, maybe Wen Zhen would be able to recognize him.

So Fan Cheng had no choice but to disguise himself as cold, as if he didn't want to deal with anyone, and cooperating with Wen Zhen was just a business, and even his voice had changed.

After doing so much, Wen Zhen finally lost interest in Fan Cheng's X, but this also led to the imperfect cooperation between the two sides, since you have a businesslike attitude, I naturally don't need to please you, although Wen Zhen on the stage is completely released, but under the stage, the girl's communication with X is just limited to indifferent greetings and blunt thanks.

didn't go with Wen Zhen, that is, Fan Cheng didn't want Wen Zhen to have other associations through his peers, but who would have thought that the two of them took the same plane, originally one of them was in business class and the other was in ordinary class, but when they got out of the airport, they encountered problems. At the place where you pick up your luggage, the luggage of the two people comes out together......

Wen Zhen, who was wearing huge glasses and was very exaggerated in disguise, looked at Fan Cheng in surprise and asked in the same batch of luggage as her, "You were also on the plane just now!?"

"How can you pick up your luggage yourself!?What about your agent!?" Fan Cheng hurriedly looked at him.

"She's a little upset and goes to the toilet!" Wen Zhen reached out to take his luggage.

"I'll come!" Fan Cheng hurriedly went up to help the girl carry her luggage.

"Third uncle, why didn't you say hello to the company when you came to the Demon Capital, and if you were on a plane with me, you should have also come from the Imperial Capital, right? What were you doing in the Imperial Capital before?" Wen Zhen asked.
