Chapter 968: Ye Zi's "Demon" Album (II)
On March 18, the tour was suspended. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Ye Zi and Wenhui flew to Paris, the capital of F, to join the Shencheng Symphony Orchestra to participate in the celebration concert of the Paris National Conservatory of Music, which opened on March 22. Ye Zi will once again collaborate with Shen Jiao in this concert, performing two famous classical guitar concertos by Valentine, a composer from country F.
A week later, Ye Zi returned to mainland China with many praises from the European media, such as "Incredible Genius Performer", "The Latest Discovery of the Classical Guitar", "Magical Incredible Technique, Unbridled Imagination", and a flood of invitations to perform classical concerts, to continue the next tour.
But this time, everyone's eyes on Ye Zi have changed.
Before Ye Zi left for Country F, there was a very marketable argument in the media, that is, Ye Zi should not be dual-minded, and he should concentrate on ensuring that he has such excellent development prospects in the pop music industry. However, the comments of European classical music critics on Ye Zi made their glasses fall to the ground, and the praise of the public not only made the media collectively lose their voice, but also made the Chinese classical music scene begin to be calm. Many of the predecessors in the Chinese classical music industry have come out to speak, exhorting Ye Zi to give up the "dross" of pop music and return to the embrace of sacred classical music. Of course, it is impossible for the Chinese pop music scene to allow the situation to continue to develop in such a prospect, and many heavyweights have also expressed many-for-tat dissenting opinions.
For a time, all kinds of voices were noisy in the media.
For this reason, Ye Zi specially held a press conference before the tour in Yangcheng, Guangdong Province, and made his attitude very clear.
First, in the last year or two, Ye Zi is still in the classical guitar learning stage, and he will devote himself to the development of the pop music scene, while taking into account the further study of classical guitar.
Second, when classical guitar is really learned, he will uphold the attitude that classical music and pop music go hand in hand, and neither side will give up. In Ye Zi's view, pop music and classical music both belong to the branches of music, and there is no difference between who is higher and who is low, and he will treat everyone equally.
Third, the press conference was held only once for such a topic, and Ye Zi will not continue to answer similar questions in the future.
The sensation and uproar caused by this press conference were all momentary choices, and there were some applaudations, some criticisms, some sarcasm, and even more worries in the media, and no one voice could concentrate all opinions.
But Ye Zi has completely ignored these and plunged into the tour again.
Many media don't like Ye Zi's "arrogance", but for millions of fans in mainland China, Ye Zi's answer is deeply in line with their hearts. As long as Ye Zi will not leave the pop music scene and switch to classical music, it will be the best gospel for them.
As a result, the tour of Sun Yat-sen University in Yangcheng brought together nearly 50,000 students and young people from all over Guangdong Province and even from Xiangjiang. The previous week's tour was suspended, and they were already anxious!
For the few classical music fans in mainland China, Ye Zi's answer also reassured them.
……
In April, the tour continued, and Ye Zi's hit the charts also continued. At this time, insiders with a little vision have clearly felt that a huge wave of music is coming. Therefore, they are all thinking about what attitude they should take to face such a roaring wave.
Throughout April, the hits in Ye Zi's second album still swept all the charts in mainland China, and even the songs with other folk genres on the list also rose steadily, "Youth", "The Brother Who Sleeps on My Top Bunk", "Lonely Is Because I Miss Someone" and other songs have been sung in colleges and universities across the country. Of course, Ye Zi's songs have become popular songs in mainland China.
Pirates seized the opportunity to make a fortune by transcribing songs recorded on the radio into tapes, and boxes of "albums" with the word "folk" were sold to every corner of the Chinese mainland. Even Ye Zi's fans are waiting for the official release of the album, in order to listen to it first, they also "dedicate" a little bit of their own strength to the pirates.
There is no way, this is the record market in mainland China.
……
Wednesday, April 28.
After more than two months of touring, it finally came to the last stop - Yenching Normal University.
In just over two months, not only did Ye Zi lay the most solid foundation for his second album to be released in early May, but the other ten singers who participated in the tour from beginning to end also benefited a lot. DD Records, which has been watching for a long time, has already signed all ten singers, and is also ready to record and release "Campus Folk Songs 1" and "Campus Folk Songs 2" in a row, and the recording work will start as soon as the tour is over.
This tour has saved DD a lot of publicity time, and a veteran like Liu Zhuohui certainly won't miss such a good opportunity.
The last tour on the 28th brought together many big-name singers in the Chinese music scene, and the live broadcast that night also made Huaxia TV and Yanjing TV very satisfied. At present, they are actively discussing with Wenhui that the three companies will jointly produce a show that can be toured nationwide, and their inspiration is this two-month folk college tour with a total of 20 performances.
After more than two months of touring, the show has become a well-known brand, attracting an average of 35,000 college students to participate in each tour, and the reports of the following two days are overwhelming. After two months, the college students not only did not get tired of watching it, but became more and more energetic, and they strongly urged the tour to continue. Even the Xiangjiang music scene, which has never been interested in folk songs, sang praises to folk songs after two tours at Xiangjiang University and Xiangjiang Chinese University, praising such songs as "bringing them back to the passionate age of youth" and "innocent and flawless emotions soothing the deepest softness in their hearts...... Wait a minute.
For the big names, it is not profitable to participate in such a show, but it is ...... for their own fame But it's the best publicity. So as early as just over the halfway point of the tour, many big names took the initiative to ask to participate in the last performance on the 28th.
Wei Wei is here, Li Lingyu is here, Xie Xiaodong is here...... Almost all the big names familiar to Chinese fans have arrived, and the original two-hour tour has been dragged to four and a half hours. Of course, it is impossible for Ye Zi to be absent from Sister Maomao, she is the only big-name singer that Ye Zi personally invited.
Liu Huan, the big brother of the Chinese music scene, personally called Ye Zi to express his participation, and he will bring a song "take/me/home, country/road" (country road takes me home) to participate in the final tour. This is Liu Huan's eldest brother's recognition of Ye Zi's little brother and this folk song tour, Ye Zi of course cannot refuse such kindness - to repay the peach, Ye Zi will personally serve as the guitar accompaniment and accompaniment singer for Liu Huan's eldest brother. In the performance on the 28th, Liu Huan and Ye Zizhu's singing set off bursts of high chao, and the loud chorus of college students made Mingyue lose its charm that day.
It's just a pity that because of the "lateness" of the live broadcast caused by the mistake of the organizer of a disaster relief charity performance the year before last, Liu Huan is still in the period of being banned by Huaxia TV. This wonderful performance was directly canceled in the live broadcast of Huaxia Channel, and was replaced by the singing pictures of other singers. It wasn't until the ban was lifted more than a year later that the video of this singing was released to fans on TV.
I have to say that this is the only thing that is extremely regrettable in the glorious last tour. (To be continued.) )
