The next day, almost all the entertainment newspapers were full of The Voice news, and there were headlines on the front page
"The Voice Zhao Weiran Fights Zhou Tianwang in the Air"
"Chinese Opera and Popular Genres"
"Has the draft game started to pick up"

After Wu Bo finished breakfast, he would visit the newsstand every day
"Boss, get a newspaper"
Before I got the newspaper, I listened to a few students chattering next to me
"Eh, did you read it yesterday, is it beautiful, you just say it's beautiful first?"
"Damn, don't say it, I took the video off yesterday, and as soon as I crawled out of the quilt in the morning, I reviewed it first, damn it, it's so good-looking" The speaker looked obscene
"I still prefer to listen to where the time has gone, I'm so moved, I cried to death yesterday, eh, I think Zhao Weiran should be asked to sing this song at this year's Spring Festival Gala"
"I like the drunkenness of the concubine in the back, especially the one who changes clothes, damn, it's so amazing"
"You said that women can dance or something, are they all so tasteful, you look at that figure, that expression, ouch mom, scared the baby to death"
"Maybe it's still a division of people, you look at those who sing opera, their figures are good, but they don't feel as good as our Weiran, and how long do you say the water sleeves are?" One asks questions
"I checked, a lot of people discussed it in the post bar last night, and I heard that it was more than 20 meters, and it was quite heavy."
"That's long! How do you get rid of that? โ
"Cut...... If you know, people don't need to call it talent."
"I decided that my goddess would be her in the future"
Where has the time gone, I have grown old before I feel young, and I have children and daughters for a lifetime......
Wu Bo listened to it for a while, he didn't seem to have heard this song, and the phone was pinched
Aunt on the phone: "Hey, son, eh, go back today, okay, I'll tell your dad to go, I'm in good health, but it's not good to get out of bed, okay, come back and pay attention......"
As soon as the aunt left
Wu Bo was still proud when he heard it, and asked the boss: "Boss, what kind of song is that?" It's nice, what's your name? โ
The boss looked surprised: "You don't know? โ
The classmates next to him also looked at him with unpredictable expressions, and then left
Wu Bo was confused, isn't it just a song, what's so mysterious, everyone looks at it like this
The boss kindly told him: "You can watch the rebroadcast of The Voice today."
It's a good voice again
As soon as he left the community today, he listened to the discussion of the security guard at the door, and the uncle who bought the fritters for breakfast also discussed with the guests, and the same was true of the newsstand, at this time he glanced at the two newspapers in his hand, each page had a large sound font
Wu Bo was confused, was there something big he didn't know?
Until the unit, he used the time to take the bus to finally roughly read the newspaper, there were frequent good voices on it, and Zhao Whatran, the thin man sitting in the back seat of him watched him fold the newspaper, and leaned forward and asked: "Dude, can I read the newspaper, get off the bus and return you"
Wu Bo gave it to him without thinking about it, anyway, he finished reading it
But after two stops, the guy in the back chatted with strangers he didn't know, and the theme was still a good voice, so Zhao What's the Ran
Wu Bo looked back at them, a group of adult men and women chatting about gossip were so energetic, and it wasn't that a certain big star had cheated, they were all so excited, as if everyone had endless words
When I arrived at the unit, several female colleagues at the front desk were chattering under the desk, excited and angry, and Wu Bo obviously heard the three words "good voice".
What the hell, how can I go everywhere early in the morning
When he came to the office, Mom, did he have a fever, how did he feel that everyone was not on the same frequency
Colleague A: "Hey, that's beautiful, I'm peeing"
Colleague B: "I'm surprised, why didn't I think opera was good before"
Colleague C: "Come on, you, just sing a word and play a one-minute scene, who the will think it sounds good, this also has to divide people"
Colleague Ding: "You said that this person has a long head, he is beautiful, he sings well, and he can dance, the key is the water sleeve, I will drop my mother to feed, let me throw it to death, how heavy is that"
Colleague Wang: "My mother listened to her first song yesterday, and she cried like a tearful person, which made me feel uncomfortable, and I didn't feel good when I left this morning, eh."
Wu Bo: "You mean that the voice is good, right?" โ
Everyone said in unison: "Zhao Weiran"
Wu Bo touched his brain, the group of people in their department who were rated as 10,000-year-old engineering men by the company was inexplicable, when did they discuss entertainment programs, or the whole people discussed, so interested
"Is it that pretty?"
Colleague A opened the notebook without saying a word and showed him the video that he had made last night: "Look at it"
Similar things are just a corner of Huaxia, thousands of people rested for one night, and the next day, The Voice, Zhao Weiran, and rose to the first place on the hot topic list in a straight line
Especially Zhao Weiran's name is frequently mentioned, and even the number of downloads she has hung on the Wind Music Network has risen at an incredible speed, "Where Has the Time Gone" and "The Drunken Concubine" just hung up after last night's show, and today it has occupied the second and third places on the new song list, and sooner or later, the top three on the most popular song list plus "High Song" were all rounded by her alone
Other singers instantly have a kind of 10,000 grass and mud horses flying over their heads, coming back, and flying again......
Zhao Weiran is really red this time!
Including the clothes she wore on the spot before, they were coincidentally imitated by a group of beauty-loving ladies, and they were carved out of a mold all over the street, especially the favorite of white-collar workers
Zhao Weiran's two sets of concubine clothes at the scene yesterday were crazy to be discussed by Ms. Aimei, and today many wedding shops have a string of door-to-door customers, everyone has the same goal, there is only one - ancient costumes, the most required is the ancient concubine costumes, the laughing wedding shop owner has no bottom teeth, and he can't wait to offer Zhao Weiran's three words as the God of Wealth
Huaisu is the production area of all clothing in China, usually every manufacturer in this piece is in full swing, there is only one type of manufacturer perennial business is cold, today we are destined to be busy without touching the ground
Assistant Xiao Ding was busy sweating and running to the manager's room: "Manager, there were twelve big orders just now, asking us to step up the shipment of all kinds of ancient costumes, but now we are sure that we can't be in the queue, do you still take it?" โ
The manager just replied to the chairman's urgent call, and he didn't think about replying: "Pick up, why don't you answer, damn, business is finally here all year round, go, notify all the employees below to give me day and night processing, triple the salary, and I'll give you a big leave after this while."
Similar to the major colleges and universities to do ancient costume manufacturers, the machine does not stop for a while, and the orders are as busy as snowflakes, and I don't know how many manufacturers remember the name Zhao Weiran during this period
O God of Wealth!
I can see that some of the manufacturers of life clothing are red-eyed and white-eyed, how can they not meet such a good opportunity, now the Korean wave is too heavily eroded, and the Chinese people do not treat domestic production very much, and it is not easy for them
Besides, people make ancient costumes, and they make hundreds of profits by shipping one piece, which is why the business of making ancient costumes is not very busy all year round, but as long as you receive an order, you can support it for several months
There was a thunder on the ground, as if the name Zhao Weiran had been known for half of the world overnight
Gucci Headquarters
Gucci is a large-scale first-class clothing brand in China, they only make women's clothing, and some domestic entertainment stars attend dinners, award ceremonies, and private banquets
Gucci is a big brand, but the promotion of the costume category they have always wanted to do has not been very successful, and this time it can be said that it has become popular inexplicably, and now the designers of the costume group are busy
Conference Room 1, Headquarters
The managers of all major departments are in charge of all the middle leaders of the company gathered here today
The door snapped open
A man in a suit and leather shoes in his mid-thirties walked in
The man's angular face is handsome and abnormal, and his appearance looks like a debauchery, but the inadvertent light in his eyes makes people dare not underestimate him, with black and dense hair, and a pair of slender peach blossom eyes under a pair of sword eyebrows, full of affection, which makes people fall into it if they are not careful
All the leaders stood up in unison: "Chairman"
The man nodded indifferently: "Sit down"
The assistant turned on the computer and handed it to him, he glanced at it a few times, and then swept to the seat: "I asked you to come here, you know the reason, right?" โ
Everyone nodded in unison
He glanced at the elegant woman who had come in with him
The elegant woman smiled faintly at the corner of her mouth, and confidently opened the information in front of her and passed it down one by one
"This is the evaluation report of the marketing department, according to our major branches in China.................. So, now is the best time for us to enter the market."
After the woman finished speaking, she looked at the man for the first time, and seeing that the man was not moving, she pursed her lips and continued: "The U.S. branch has already given back, and it ......... last month."
The man interrupted her suddenly: "Has the spokesperson been chosen?" โ
Publicity Manager: "Our contract with Miss Liang Qi has not expired"
The man didn't want to say: "Changed"
The manager of the Propaganda Department wiped his sweat or said stubbornly: "The promotion of the Propaganda Department should be prepared in advance, and now the temporary replacement may delay the progress, and Miss Liang Qi has signed a five-year contract with our company, and there are still three years to expire, and the liquidated damages are a trivial matter if the contract is defaulted now, and I am afraid it will bring some negative impacts."
What he didn't say was that Liang Qi, as the top of the first-line stars in China, has always endorsed big brands, not only in Huaxia but also in the international influence, and the two sides have always cooperated well, and now they suddenly unilaterally breached the contract and withdrew......
The man glanced at the manager of the Propaganda Department with an expressionless face, and repeated with some impatience: "Replacement"
The elegant woman answered: "Then we have to hurry up and re-select" seems to have been closed
The manager of the Propaganda Department did not dare to speak anymore
The man seemed to be distracted, staring at the computer and not knowing what to look at, and said for a long time: "Change Zhao Weiran"
Publicity Manager: "......"
The elegant woman's face stiffened slightly, the corners of her mouth were almost inaudible, and she said casually: "Our company has been taking the high-end route, and I am afraid it is not suitable to remove Liang Qi and replace it with an unknown talent singer."
The man stared at her for a few seconds with an unpredictable expression before he said slowly, "Unknown? His tone was sarcastic, as if sweeping into the depths of a woman's heart, and then glancing at everyone present
"It's decided, the following actions are tight, I want to see the effect as soon as possible"
After saying that, the man got up and left
The elegant woman's face is ugly
The manager of the Propaganda Department asked bitterly: "Manager Tan, do you see?" โ
The elegant woman stood up, the chair 'smack' was unusually harsh, and she frowned: "Look at what I do, what I should do."
Hotel
'Pounding ......'
"Enter"
A man of twenty-six or seventeen first introduced himself: "Hello, Miss Zhao, I am Wang Mulin, a reporter from Entertainment Weekly"
"Entertainment Weekly", an all-show interview program on Capital Satellite TV, the theme of this issue is a compilation of the top 8 interviews in the country
The program team had already said hello, and Zhao Weiran was not surprised: "Hello, are you here for an interview?" โ
She glanced at the hotel room, it was neat and clean, and there was nothing that shouldn't have appeared
"You can also do it here, or in the TV studio, depending on what Miss Zhao means"
Zhao Weiran thought for a while: "Then, let's do it here" and glanced at the room again, there was really no problem
Camera preparation
Zhao Weiran sat face-to-face with the reporter at a small desk, and there were some paper notes and clothing albums scattered on the table
Get ready, and the camera lights up
Reporter: "Hello, Zhao Weiran"
Zhao Weiran: "Hello"
Reporter: "After the last 10-in-8 competition, the two participating songs broke out overnight, and now they are the first on the list of major topics, have you thought of it in advance?" โ
Zhao Weiran smiled slightly, she was wearing a sportswear, refreshing and clean, giving people a good impression for no reason
"To be honest, I didn't think about such a big reaction, I was prepared that maybe everyone would discuss it more novelly"
Reporter: "Where has the time gone" is a very touching family song, everyone knows that you have your own original arrangement and lyrics for each song, can you talk about the inspiration for the creation of this song? โ
Zhao Weiran had already prepared: "This song is a song with a simple melody and simple lyrics, anyone who listens to it once may be able to learn it immediately, I used to ......"
Speaking of this, she was embarrassed to smile, a little shy
"I used to be very ignorant, and I used one word to describe it as unfilial piety, because the family economy may not be very rich, and I am an only child, and my major is still a more money-eating major, so I often make my parents worry a lot and suffer a lot, and I have also suffered a lot of white eyes, and I feel very uncomfortable when I see them old and full of gray hair, so I have this song"
Reporter: "To be able to write such a heart-warming song, I think Wei Ran's parents will be very happy"
Zhao Weiran: "Thank you"
Reporter: "Where has the time gone" is a family song, so the second song "The Drunken Concubine" is a very amazing and thrilling pioneering song, and now many netizens are commenting on the Internet, saying that Wei Ran has created a new genre between opera and marching songs, do you agree? โ
This question is a bit sharp
Zhao Weiran smiled calmly
"I think it doesn't matter what genre the song is, what matters is the audience, and what the audience likes is really good songs!"
Reporter: "Just now, before our interview, Mr. Meng Jinghui, a famous master in the opera industry, posted on Weibo that you are a thief of nondescript traditional opera culture, what do you think?"
Zhao Weiran, Meng Jinghui? A master of opera?
Although she didn't know, the reporter wouldn't joke about this kind of thing, and the joke object was still a master of opera, so it was impossible to think about it
Zhao Weiran's heart sank, thought for a while and said, "I haven't gotten any news yet, so I don't express any opinions."
She simply refused
After nearly 20 minutes of interviews, Zhao Weiran opened Weibo as soon as possible after sending the reporter away
Really!
An hour ago, Mr. Meng Jinghui, a famous master in the Chinese opera industry, publicly denounced on Weibo, and the original words were like this - Zhao Weiran's opera role is actually a big brand of traditional Chinese art to grandstand
In the back, all the leading and faceless characters in the drama industry have praised it in the back, or have issued statements, and there is only one concentrated thought, and the popular point is - Zhao Weiran is a villain, stealing our things, you ordinary people don't know how to appreciate it, we are authentic!
Zhao Weiran's face was a little ugly, she thought that she was really a small-minded little woman, and she couldn't learn from the White Lotus to broaden her mind
She thought of what happened to Li Yu when he first became famous in the other world, the opera industry collectively excluded him, and he was never recognized in the field of traditional opera, although he made the opera culture more accessible to the people, but it doesn't matter, the people like it! As he said, in the end, the performance presented is for the common people, and they like it, and they succeed
Zhao Weiran continued to pull down, and netizens commented later
"Roll the calves, envy, jealousy and hate, a group of pink eye guys, I think Zhao Weiran's performance is very good, traditional and gorgeous, beautiful, bringing us beautiful enjoyment! You're going to baba."
"It's so beautiful after the makeup!!! It's so nice!! A fusion of classical and modern music, but without being abrupt! Outstanding work! In the tank!!!! โ
"Beauty, extreme luxury, praises the peaceful and prosperous times, and hopes that art will live forever"
"Amazing, I haven't seen enough, haha"
"The singing and appearance are perfect, beautiful, it's a pleasure, I hope everyone will support her"
"The concubine is drunk in her prime, and the water sleeves dance the oriental charm"
"Wei Ran will be recognized by more and more people, my feelings for Wei Ran can't be expressed in words, I just want to support silently in my heart forever"
"Hehe, you don't need to say if you understand, you don't need to explain if you don't understand or you have to distort everything you see, you laugh at it, you have someone who understands"
"Agree upstairs"
"I'm very moved, many classmates around me like it, and those who understand don't need to explain"
Unlike some experts, online netizens are so trendy that Zhao Weiran feels a little more comfortable
Thinking that such a group of experts issued a statement to collectively criticize themselves, but so many netizens supported her Zhao Weiran under their Weibo, I don't know how they feel
This can be regarded as a slap in the face!
Not only slapped in the face, Meng Jinghui felt that his face was lost, this group of fools didn't understand anything, and they still talked nonsense
There are still some relatively professional opera fans and friends among the people, who have made statements when they see their favorite opera masters, and have also expressed their opinions, absolutely supporting authentic traditional Chinese opera, and feeling that some people will do whatever it takes to become famous
One side is a drama fan and a netizen, and the other side is the common people, and everyone can't be hot on the virtual network!
Just when the development of the incident was escalating more and more, a person came out on Weibo:
In terms of voice, Zhao Weiran borrowed from ethnic and opera singing, and the treble part is a bit bel canto
Her stage performance, from the movements and expressions of the expression of a lot of opera did learn a lot of forms of opera, but she pays more attention to "singing" than "doing", so she can't simply use the standards of opera actors to ask her, in the final analysis, she is a pop singer, and the more important point in evaluating pop singers should be the market, from this point of view, she has succeeded
In addition, it is understandable that Zhao Weiran treats opera or Peking Opera as an element in her works, rather than taking Peking Opera as it is and takes Peking Opera seriously, because art is inherently open
The development of opera to the point where it is so embarrassing today may be because some people are too complacent, some people are too novel and advanced, and the new and old audiences are not the same as the loss of the new and old audiences, opera is not static, maybe it will disappear in the future, maybe it will return to the heyday of the past, maybe it will gradually become a new art, but in this process, try is the most precious, at least Zhao Weiran is trying hard, such an artist, even if I don't like it, I can't bear to belittle it
Personally, I despise some people, who claim to be opera actors, and even have serious teachers in the opera art world, and still use "opera" as a gimmick, name, and advertisement to advertise themselves, but in fact, they can't play three plays, and they don't have the sweat to learn from three boats and five cars.
Zhao Weiran read the whole article and nodded secretly, although this person said that she had been half of the opposite, but there was no real verbal affirmation, but he was a little disdainful of those masters
She deliberately took a look at this Weibo owner named Zhang Yunhe
It turns out that Zhang Yunhe is also a master in the opera industry, but it seems that his popularity is not very good, and the wonderful thing is that he has a relationship with Meng Jinghui's brother
Zhao Weiran shook her head, and the phone rang
"Hey, well, I'm ,...... Spokesman? Wei Ran was a little confused: "Which brand is it?" โฆโฆ Oh okay, okay, I'll think about it, goodbye"
Wei Ran hung up the phone and felt that her brain was a little insufficient, and she didn't believe it, and she said two more words - Gucci
After a long time, she was excited and finally confirmed that it was true, and jumped up in the room with joy, wanting to call her parents, thinking about it or forgetting it, it was not too late to settle the matter
Zhao Weiran feels that her luck is really getting better and better recently, good things are happening one after another, as for the online condemnation, she should not be able to see it for the time being, the other party is a master after all, she can't do anything now, and besides, she can't do anything for the time being, let's wait and see what happens
She didn't know, after she hung up
At Gucci headquarters, the assistant stammered in disbelief: "She said...... She said she would consider "
It's really incredible, a little singer in the draft received the spokesperson of the largest brand in China and said that he was considering, and the assistant felt that he was not normal, or the other party was abnormal
The man at the desk hooked his lips lightly: "Let's go out"
