Chapter 283: Scum! Swindler!
The next day, under the arrangement of the entertainment channel director, the video provided by Celine was broadcast in the prime-time entertainment star news column.
The entire video was edited into about three minutes long. The voiceover gave a brief introduction to Chen Chufan's identity and the accompaniment recording work that Chen Chufan was doing in the video, and by the way, popularized the mysterious album production process to the public. Of course, it is indispensable to express amazement and admiration for Chen Chufan who is so young, but can master such a variety of musical instruments.
......
Wong Chea Ann is one of Hong Kong Island's well-known music critics. Of course, it is difficult to support his family as a music critic, so he has two other identities, one is a professor of Western music history at the Hong Kong Island Conservatory of Music, and the other is a special contributor to the "Oriental Daily", the largest circulation on Hong Kong Island.
As a music critic, it is also one of Huang Xie'an's jobs to comment on various music genres. Therefore, Huang Xie An has always paid more attention to the entertainment channels of various TV stations. Criticizing the new songs of the current newcomers is a great joy in Huang Xie'an's spare time.
In his opinion, the entertainment industry on Hong Kong Island is degrading step by step. Because he thinks that the new generation of singers is completely unable to take the lead. In his opinion, the newcomers launched by record companies now have no most basic respect for the music itself, and most of them are artificial idols with delicate faces and poor singing skills, which can only be introduced to the market through various packaging.
What's more, in order to attract the public's attention, in order to be in a position, they do not hesitate to use all kinds of unbearable materials to make themselves famous and hype. Wong Chee On, who claims to be the last defender of Hong Kong Island music, naturally hates this situation.
So when he saw this video news about Chen Chufan broadcast on a cable entertainment channel, the first thought that popped into his mind was a disgusting hype. A newcomer who is preparing to release an album makes such a video at this time, naturally to build momentum for the upcoming new album.
What else could explain the significance of this video?
A young man in his twenties who can play more than a dozen musical instruments? Is this an April Fool's joke? How dare you exaggerate to the point of shamelessness? The above is Zhou Xie'an's indignant thoughts after watching this entertainment news. He was even trembling with anger, he felt that if the shameless faces of these newcomers were not exposed, I am afraid that there would be more unbounded propaganda content in the future.
Annoyed, he turned off the TV, walked to the study, and began to write a review article. The title is "The Impetuousness of Newcomers in the Entertainment Industry", which can be seen from the title, which is a criticism throughout.
“...... In the long run, when the older generation of singers comes to an end, what is left of the pop music scene on Hong Kong Island? ”
“...... A newcomer, who has not yet produced a new song, first circulated a video of himself recording an accompaniment tape, in which the newcomer seems to fiddle with ten musical instruments, what a despicable hype. ”
“....... A rookie singer who has just returned from country M actually advertised that he knows more than ten musical instruments through a video, which is a big joke in the world. This kind of clown behavior is really chilling. What is the value of the music made by such an impetuous newcomer? ”
“...... At the end of this article, I would like to ask, Chen Chufan, how much did you spend to get this video on the entertainment news of Hong Kong Island Cable Channel 13? ”
Huang Xie An only felt that he was in a very good state, and the article of more than 3,000 words was announced in just an hour, and after checking for typos. This critical and heart-praising article was sent by Huang Xie An to the "Oriental Daily" with whom he had business dealings the next day.
The day after Huang Xie An's article was submitted, the Oriental Daily published a commentary on the front page of the entertainment section of the newspaper.
The topic was opened from then on, and the comment at the end of Zhou Xie'an's comment that made Hong Kong Island Cable TV lie down attracted the attention of Hong Kong Island TVB. In the eyes of some people on TVB, the sentence "Chen Chufan, how much did you spend to make this video appear on the entertainment news of Hong Kong Island Cable Channel 13?" "What a highlight!
Of course, the relationship between peers will not be as harmonious as it is in a harmonious society. In particular, Hong Kong Island Wireless and Hong Kong Island Cable are the two largest TV media on Hong Kong Island, and the competition between the two has always been very fierce.
So because of the report, a "Famous Interview" program in the free channel Jade Channel of Hong Kong TVB sent an invitation to Huang Xie An. As a music critic, if there is any opportunity to increase his fame, Huang Xie An will certainly not let it go, and naturally readily agrees.
In the interview, Huang Xie An first talked about various unhealthy tendencies in the Hong Kong Island entertainment industry, and then criticized Chen Chufan's villainous behavior. By the way, under the inducement of the program host, some unscrupulous TV media used false gimmick news to win attention and seek profits in entertainment news in order to pursue ratings and make money.
"That Chen Chufan is a villain who does not hesitate to deceive the public in order to become famous and win attention. Of course, now it seems that his villainous behavior has succeeded. I think everyone has seen the face of this so-called future star by now. And the role of some media in fueling the flames is to make the public live in fake news every day. Huang Xie An used this sentence as a summary comment of the show.
Hong Kong Island Wireless is the No. 1 TV station in Hong Kong Island's ratings, and its Jade Channel is the No. 1 TV station in the ratings of TVB, which naturally attracts the attention of all parties.
The Hong Kong Island cable entertainment channel GA Crisp, who was lying down and was shot, did not stop doing it, re-edited the entire video shot by Du Yan, this time leaving enough time for half an hour, broadcast it in prime time, and interjected in the video, since Huang Xie An and Hong Kong Island TVB believe that this video is fake, please come up with evidence.
The two TV stations had a verbal battle, which naturally magnified the discussion about the authenticity of Chen Chufan's video, and even became a topic about whether the Hong Kong Island entertainment industry is going to be impetuous, and Chen Chufan became the center of the topic. Even other TV stations that don't care about it have begun to report, such as Phoenix TV, which has launched a special discussion on this topic.
Even Phoenix.com, a subsidiary of Phoenix New Media, has set up a special section "Do you think the current rookie singers are impetuous?" for netizens to discuss whether Chen Chufan's video is true or false. Just one day after opening, the number of comments in this section has reached more than 90,000.
Maybe it's too unbelievable for a young man to be able to master more than a dozen musical instruments, or maybe it's because Huang Xie An has a lot of fans, in short, in the investigation of Phoenix.com, the comments condemning Chen Chufan for cheating and the rookie singer being too impetuous account for as much as 80%. Of course, the remaining ten percent are not entirely because they think that Chen Chufan is not cheating, because since mankind has the Internet, the soy sauce party has never been lacking.
The almost one-sided comments have made Chen Chufan the hottest topic on Hong Kong Island recently, of course, this topic character is a little aggrieved, because he has become a representative of the impetuous newcomer.
But even so, Huang Xie An still doesn't seem to feel satisfied. One of his real-name articles "How to Resist Impetuous Music"
Published in this section of Phoenix.com.
In the article, he hyped up that he would never spend a penny on Chen Chufan, not only his records, even if he became famous with hype, and with endorsement advertising, he would absolutely boycott that advertising brand. and called on the majority of netizens to take the same resistance measures against this impetuous newcomer, his original words were: "Since Chen Chufan wants to be famous, we will give them fame, but we will not let him use his fame to get a dime of benefits." ”
He even issued such a cry in the article: "It's time for the newcomers in the fame and fortune circle to wake up!" ”
What Huang Xie An didn't expect was that Huang Xie An's actions actually set himself on fire while hacking a newcomer. He has gone from being a well-known music critic to one of the last defenders of the Hong Kong music scene, with a fast growing following in the thousands every day.
As his articles were reprinted in major newspapers, his popularity grew. Several physical books on music that he has published have been half-dead in sales, but now they have suddenly become popular. Even when it is sold to the end of the market, the publisher urgently prints it to meet the needs of the market.
This allowed Huang Xie An to enjoy the happiness of fame and fortune. So he blacked Chen Chufan even harder, and he wished that the topic about Chen Chufan could be maintained for as long as possible. So he began to collect Chen Chufan's experience after coming to Hong Kong Island through some channels, and then made up follow-up articles.
For example, in the article, Huang Xie An mentioned that he began to secretly investigate the truth of that video, and found that Chen Chufan did know several musical instruments, but the level was unsightly. Except for a little accomplishment in the piano, the other instruments are just beginners, so he is definitely a liar!
For example, Chen Chufan, as a newcomer, completely disrespected the internal arrangements of Universal Company, and excluded Zhou Jinglun, who was also a newcomer with him, and had already proven himself in the top ten district music competitions. It is suspected that this Chen Chufan has a very good background within the global company, so he is arrogant.
For example, although Chen Chufan is not yet famous, his private life is very disorderly. It is well documented that there are three women who circle him every day......
In short, Chen Chufan is an out-and-out liar in Huang Xie'an's unwarranted investigation, an unprecedented scum in the history of Hong Kong Island entertainment! (To be continued.)
