Chapter 114: Territory
Mammals all have a concept of territory. A territory may be a sea area, a cave, a section of a riverbank, or an area between several bushes in a grassland. It is a relatively private space that provides a sense of security for the animals.
All mammals are comfortable in their own territory, and uncomfortable when they go out.
When it comes to human society, territory is even more important. People in China always talk about revolution, but in fact, the essence of revolution is to seize land by violence (killing). Even in the 21st century, in the age of the Internet, land is still the foundation of all wealth. Human history is actually a history of land being divided and contested.
The more tragic thing is that the Jews, who have had their own land for almost 2,000 years.
In modern society, especially in Chinese cities in the 21st century, the territory has become a house. Close the door and you have a separate, comfortable space. As in the animal world, the more powerful the person, the bigger the house he owns.
People mark their possession of the territory in a variety of ways, such as legal title deeds, cultural decorations, ornaments, and photographs. But the core way is still animalistic: smell. An indescribable, "this is my territory" biological expression.
Fang Yan thought that the new home was not his own territory, and it had been completely occupied by the girls of the company.
For several days, Qian Ning, Feng Lu, and Xia Mo didn't leave, and there was a faint smell floating in the room. Yuan Yuan was stupid and didn't find anything abnormal.
"Play tomorrow for another day, last day!" Every night, Xia Mo said so.
These days, Fang Yan has not returned to his new home, he still lives in a hut in an urban village, which is his territory.
……
On Wednesday afternoon, in the food area of the basement floor of a large supermarket, in a small pancake stall contracted out, Lao Liu, Xiao Mu, and Fang Yan stood on the side, watching a little girl stall pancakes.
The little girl wore a white hat with a focused face, and the yellow and white eggs were evenly spread on the dough by a wooden rake, and the little shovel gently scooped up the dough and turned it over.
"It's mushy, it's a little mushy." Lao Liu sighed.
"Out of the way."
The girl was engrossed, and beads of sweat broke out on her nose. She smeared on the hot sauce, sprinkled with green onion and coriander, and a piece of thin, golden-fried pancake was cut in half, folded in two and stacked, and a fragrant pancake was ready.
The pancakes were placed on a large white plate and brought into a small room, in the middle of the wooden table, where a few faint lights shone on it, setting off the rising heat. Lao Liu has already measured the light, holding a Canon 5D3, and taking pictures with a click.
After the shooting, several people came over to look at the photos.
Fang Yan said: "It's good, it's good. ”
Xiao Mu shook his head and said to the girl who was selling the pancakes, "Please make another one." ”
“……”
As the first thing to do in the company's operation, Kogi decided to release the music and video of Fang Yan's single "Pancake Blues". Fang Yan has only sung this song once in the daily performance of the nameless tavern, and he used this version, although the sound quality is average, but the atmosphere of the scene is very good, and you can still hear the cheers and cheers of the audience.
Lao Liu is filming the cover of the single "Pancake Blues". After everyone discussed, it was decided to shoot a pancake. The pancakes at this supermarket are delicious, and he wanted to shoot a gastronomic texture that would arouse people's appetites.
To capture the beauty of the moment the pancakes come out of the pan, as a model for the cover, each pancake has a lifespan of only 20 seconds.
"Okay?" Fang Yan bit the pancake and asked.
"Little sister, you make another one."
10 pancakes have already been spread, and Lao Liu and Xiaomu are not satisfied. Fang Yan couldn't help but say that the pancakes in the song were not so tall, they were ordinary pancakes, and they were not very delicious.
Kogi corrected, "This song is good. So the cover should be as good as the song. ”
Fang Yan did not object. He was more helpless and a little moved. He understands this attitude of excellence, and he played the piano in the same way when he was in prison. Although it is a waste of food.
The cover is ready, a chubby, flawless pancake, full of aroma, and in the picture, half of it is a shadow. Everyone was very satisfied.
Galaxy Music APP can directly register the copyright of "Pancake Blues". Next is to upload the cover, fill in the lyrics, edit the timeline, and finally upload the song and cover. Wait for review. Videos are a bit simpler, just upload them directly.
Xiao Mu said hello to his colleagues from his old club, and on the morning of Thursday, July 27, Galaxy Video and Galaxy Music recommended this song at the same time, all using photos taken by Lao Liu.
The WeChat official account and Weibo of the nameless tavern also released the news of the song.
Usually when performing at the wizard, Lao Liu forbids the audience to take pictures and record recordings, but there are still many people who secretly record and share them on the Internet. There are also many netizens who spontaneously sorted out and made a song list of wizards.
But this time it's different, the wizard is singing for the first time, and it's original, and it has a strange name, a fragrant photo. It soon caused a craze for retweets.
For Huaxiaguo, this is a kind of fresh music. It's vibrant, but it's terrifyingly real. All along, Huaxia has been a love song, I love you and you love me, in love or out of love. A pancake suddenly popped up, and netizens couldn't react a little.
Pancakes are the most mundane food in everyday life. I thought it was a song about food, but after listening to it, I realized that it was about a small corner of street reality. Small vendors with a difficult life, high-flying and domineering chengguan, and sharp social contradictions.
On the first day, the "Pancake Blues" video was retweeted more than 2 million times, and the number of views exceeded 60 million. On Galaxy Music, the retweets of the songs also exceeded 150,000, and the comments exceeded 20,000, quickly rushing to the first place in the APP song rankings.
The retweets on Weibo were even more enthusiastic, and the number of followers of the Nameless Tavern exceeded 1 million overnight. This Weibo has been reposted 400,000 times, and the article on the WeChat official account has become 100,000+.
Looking at the constantly refreshing comments and forwards on major platforms, Xiao Mu felt a long-lost happiness in his heart. He has been working in online media for 3 years, and this kind of simple sense of accomplishment is rare.
The heat was beyond Kogi's expectations. The first shot was fired at the Nameless Tavern.
The song provoked outrage. The wind of commentary quickly shifted from "wizard" to "chengguan". Specifically, it is the urban management of Jiangdong City. Everyone knows that the wizard is in Koto.
Pin Xiaoming: "There is only one sigh." Under the prosperity of the international metropolis of Jiangdong, there is a dilemma of the struggle of the small people in Shengdou. It is really a kind of Chinese characteristics. ”
Meow whining: "The city management doesn't give people a way to live!" ”
The invisible deaf: "I thought this song was an afternoon dessert, but I didn't think it was a sharp sword." Huaxia needs such a song. ”
Rosebud: "The history of Huaxia Kingdom is thousands of years, why don't you let the stalls be set up?" Who did they recruit and whom? ”
When Fang Yan wrote "Pancake Blues", he didn't have any comments, just simply stated the facts, which gave the song great power.
The anger of netizens converged and became surging and intense, beyond control. By Friday, the major media outlets were reporting on Pancake Blues and its widespread impact. The topic of urban management has once again caused widespread controversy.
"Brother Xiaomu, you are too powerful." Fang Yan admired Xiao Mu very much.
"It's nothing at all. Or is it because your song is good. Kogi said.
Lao Liu was a little unhappy, and said: "Music and videos are free, and they don't make money at all, what's the use of it being popular?" ”
"With attention, it's not easy to make money." Xiao Mu said, looked around the tavern again, and found that several girls were not there, so he asked Fang Yan. "Are they still living in your house?"
"Yes."
"What are you doing?"
"Watching TV."
“……”
"Pancake Blues" was a great success, but things developed beyond the expectations of Fang Yan and others.
The government of Jiangdong City, especially the urban management department, is under tremendous pressure, and they have been greeted countless times by netizens. The director of Jiangdong City's urban management bureau and government officials at all levels could not sit still.
For the government, this is a PR crisis.
Koto City urgently convened a meeting to discuss countermeasures. Koto City is their territory. Fang Yan and the Nameless Tavern inadvertently broke in.
