Chapter 132: Influence
Although he rarely goes to school now, because he agreed to Guan Yingluo, Meng Zhe still patiently waited until the school holiday in mid-January of the Western calendar before he began to pack his bags for the capital.
At this time, the second season of "Sword of Immortals" has already started, and the ratings of the premiere and replay are basically the same as those of the first season.
Although he found a professional composer to compose, Meng Zhe still thought of an OP he thought was more suitable for the second season of "Sword of Immortals" - "Sigh of Ease".
As for the person who sang this song, because the original Hu Ge is still unknown, it finally became Xu Wei. That's right, it's the Xu Wei who plays rock with a guitar on his back...... Therefore, for the other BGM and ending songs, the person in charge of the knife is Xu Wei, who has just created the popular song "Persistence" for Tian Zhen, the eldest sister in the mainland music scene, because of the emergence of several songs such as "Sword and Fairy Love" and "Kill the Wolf" produced by Meng Zhe, "Persistence", which would have been entrenched in the major charts in the mainland, can only be subordinated to these songs.
So Xu Wei's fate also changed because of this, because he was interested in Meng Zhe, a guy who was praised by Luo Shadi as a musical genius, and wanted to see in person who Meng Zhe was, Xu Wei, who was sacred, terminated the contract with Yanjing's owner 'Red Star Production Society', and came to Tianjiao Club with his guitar on his back.
It's just that what surprised Xu Wei was that after he met Meng Zhe, he clearly felt that Meng Zhe's understanding of music could only be said to be just getting started, and as for Meng Zhe's musical understanding Xu Wei, he didn't find it...... How could such a person create a few amazing 'Chinese-style' music like "Slaying the Wolf" and "Sword and Fairy Love"? And not only did it lead the Chinese style of music, but then it produced music with completely different genres such as "Once Had Your Forest"?
Could it be that the tunes that Meng Zhe created for him were actually done by others?
Xu Wei thought to himself, he regretted that he was impulsive and terminated the contract with Red Star Production Company - it is undeniable that the cartoons drawn by Meng Zhe are very good, and the animation works produced by Jiji Animation are also very good, but the 'Jiji Media' under Jiji Animation ...... I'm afraid it's just a dispensable institution.
Xu Wei really began to regret it, because the boss of the Red Star Production Club told him that he already had plans to make an album for him.
Xu Wei doesn't want to be just a composer, he wants to be a singer-songwriter, he is eager to stand in the center of the stage and use his guitar and singing voice to pour out his heart to the audience.
And it is really for this reason that when Luo Shadi invited Xu Wei on behalf of Jiji Media, Xu Wei terminated the contract with the owner Red Star after thinking for a long time - Luo Shadi said that Jiji Media was willing to push Xu Wei to the center of the stage, and even the opening and ending songs of the second season of Xianjian could be given to him to sing.
Meng Zhe noticed the hidden doubts about him in Xu Wei's eyes, so Meng Zhe hummed and composed music in front of Xu Wei, and filled in the tune of "Sigh of Ease" with a wave.
When Meng Zhe put down the pen, Rosa Di couldn't wait to snatch the score, and she was even happier than if she made this piece by herself - in Rosa Di's opinion, it is extremely pleasant to be able to witness the birth of a good tune!
After carefully reading the score, Rosa Di handed the score to Xu Wei and asked, "Weizi, do you believe it now?" ”
In fact, before taking Xu Wei to meet Meng Zhe, Luo Shadi told Xu Wei that Meng Zhe was different from others - he only knew a little about music, but when inspiration came, he could create a lot of melodic songs like dumplings.
Therefore, Rosa Di will say that Meng Zhe is a ghost talent, an inspirational ghost talent.
Xu Wei, who took over the score, did not speak, but first hummed the song composed by Meng Zhe according to the score, and then finally showed a convincing expression: "Believe it!" ”
Looking at Meng Zhe, who had just grown a plush new beard around his mouth, Xu Wei, who was only 27 years old, couldn't help but feel that the back waves of the Yangtze River were pushing the front waves - it turned out that genius really exists.
So, Meng Zhe, who was so unhappy in his heart, chose Xu Wei as the person who sang "Sigh of Ease". Although there is a liking for Xu Wei's music, so the factors of love for the house and Wu are in it, but Meng Zhe is not messing with the mandarin duck score - the style of "Sigh of Ease" and Xu Wei's singing style actually have a good fit, and Meng Zhe thinks that Xu Wei's singing may be a little better than Hu Ge's version.
This is actually a very normal thing, such as 'Dick Cowboy', who is the best at covering the golden songs of other singers, and many of his cover songs are full of explosive voice, which is much better than the original singer.
Of course, if you take the division of Song Ci as an example, Dick Cowboy belongs to the bold school from the beginning to the end, while Xu Wei belongs to the more graceful school.
In fact, as Meng Zhe expected, Xu Wei's version of "Sigh of Ease" felt very good, and when it was taken out to hit the radio list after recording, it quickly jumped to the first place on the on-demand list...... Therefore, it is a matter of course that the song with the most popular radio station is broadcast on MTV on the TV station.
This time, CCTV's "Music TV City" program took the initiative to contact Jiji Media, a subsidiary of Jiji Animation, and got the MTV of "Sigh of Ease" from the most formal channels.
After the official broadcast of "Sword of Immortals", this song in almost all TV sets in the country, from the sound of "Sigh of Ease", immediately detonated the sales of the album "Sigh of Fairy", which included the original sound of the second season of "Sword of Immortals" in the animation shop chain**.
Even with, even the first season's "Sword and Fairy Love" album sold out all the remaining inventory because of this sale**.
From the broadcast of the first episode of the second season to the time when Meng Zhe, Guan Yingluo and others stepped on the train to the capital, the sales of the genuine music album of "Sigh of the Fairy Sword" have exceeded 500,000 in just ten days!
The "Sword and Fairy Love" album, which sold out all the inventory, has also sold more than 150,000 in the past few days! The cumulative sales volume has exceeded the 2 million mark!
In this era of rampant piracy, 500,000 and 2 million copies of these two data, which are full of gold content, have made the eyes of various audio-visual products companies in China hot to the extent that they can't do it.
And various music magazines have invariably moved, either making simple reports or simply analyzing and summarizing all the music released by Mengjiji this year.
The more well-informed newspapers and magazines have begun to reveal the 'exclusive news' in their magazines: at the upcoming Spring Festival Gala, Meng Jiji's demonic child will present his cartoons, and Miss Kong Lan, the original singer of "Sword and Fairy Love", will also appear on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala and perform this touching song live.
People with a heart are even counting their fingers to calculate how many industries Meng Zhe, the demon child, has been involved in now, and then they don't know how to be shocked - comics, animation, composition, audio and video, food, novels, the Internet, food.
So far, it's seven! And in seven aspects, it can basically be described as a big victory!
At present, the only thing that is still losing money is about the Internet - but even in the state of losing money, the navigation website 'hao123' designed by Meng Zhe has now occupied more than sixty percent of the country's home computers, and even those who have no reading habits among netizens have mostly heard of the name of 'Starting Point Chinese Network', not to mention the sentence 'Starting Point Chinese Network, Chinese Novel Dream Factory!'" 'The advertising slogan is out!
It is said that Meng Jiji's 'starting point Chinese network' is now well-known even among Chinese netizens in Southeast Asia.
Because of the popularity of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" in Southeast Asia, the Chinese Americans who were enthusiastic about the Three Kingdoms were detonated by this TV series, and after watching "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", the whole world began to look for novels related to the Three Kingdoms...... At this time, the single book of "Dumb Three Kingdoms Guardian Envoy" written by Meng Zhe began to be sold in these countries, and these single books all had advertisements for the propaganda officer of the "starting point Chinese network".
So I don't know who tried it after reading the comics.,Enter the URL of the starting point on the computer.,In short...... A new book called "The Records of the Han Empire", which has just been updated with two or three chapters, was found by this Three Kingdoms enthusiast who tried it.
Although there are only two or three chapters, this Three Kingdoms lover was quickly attracted to this work, and then passed on ten, ten and hundred.
Even Meng Zhe himself probably didn't know that the starting point Chinese website he created in advance would become the most well-known Chinese website in the entire Southeast Asian Chinese circle because of this "Records of the Great Han Empire", which also appeared in advance.
Then, with the movement of people and the exchange of people, this popularity spread to the Chinese circle in North America and the Chinese circle in Europe...... In less than a month, the number of registered members of the website has exceeded 100,000 and has become the Chinese website with the largest number of individual IP visits!
The original server was overwhelmed, and it was frequently overwhelmed because of the surging number of hits, but fortunately, although Meng Zhe didn't quite understand where these surging overseas access IPs came from, he immediately decided to buy two new IBM large servers through the relationship established with Lenovo - although the price was so expensive that Meng Zhe wanted to strangle IBM's people, but after the two arrived and were activated, the original complaining access speed immediately returned to normal.
"Damn, it's really a penny......
Although the current so-called large-scale server is a scum in the eyes of Meng Zhe's later generations, it is still very milky and rippling in this era.
After the network access was normal, these overseas Chinese who could finally visit the website normally and read the update of "The Records of the Han Empire" comfortably quickly shifted their attention to the other hundreds of books on the website...... After understanding that the books on the original website were only a meager to shabby income for the authors, some of the loyal readers, even though they were not financially well-off, began to worry about the livelihood of the writers.
Others won't say it, let's just say that this fierce son who updates the "Han Empire Fengyunlu" every day, his wish is actually like taking the 'full attendance award' of 300 yuan per month from the website, and then go to buy books to read...... But at this time, the problem arose again - although the website called 'Starting Point Chinese Network' has opened a channel for tipping, and will soon open a form called VIP paid reading.
But the question is, where can those of us who are overseas go to buy a physical card to recharge the starting coin?
Or...... In the complaint and report section of their website, leave a message to see?
Or...... Follow the address to their website, write a letter to the owner of this website, Meng Jiji?
Or...... In particular, after reading the latest chapter today, looking at the rows of red-letter starting coins that others gave to the author, I also have the urge not to give it! So, such a 100,000 urgent thing is not an ass! I can't wait, send money directly to the mainland, and ask relatives to help me buy a recharge card for starting coins!
…… Therefore, something completely unexpected by Meng Zhe appeared, with the support of overseas readers who were enthusiastic and had genuine reading habits in this era, although it was not yet at the end of the month, it was just a gift from readers, so that the author of "The Records of the Han Empire" Mengzi's income has broken the 1,000 yuan mark!
If this trend continues, by the end of the month, counting the income of full attendance, Mengzi's income will be able to exceed at least 1,500 yuan! In this era, with a monthly income of 1,500 yuan, it has been able to catch up with the white-collar class!
Even, even Meng Zhe's "Burning Eyes Xana" that month received a gift of more than 100 yuan...... When Meng Zhe contacted by phone and learned about these situations, he was already in Yanjing, so he could only conduct remote command by phone, and let people hurry up to prepare a notice in red letters on the homepage of the website, announcing the birth of the first famous artist with a monthly income of 1,000 yuan among Internet writers.
To be honest, Meng Zhe really didn't expect that the 'great god' level online writer who first appeared on his starting point Chinese Internet to ignite the divine fire was not Blood Red, Smoke Man and others but a fierce son who wrote historical novels.
But if you think about it carefully, Meng Zhe is also relieved - at this time and at that time, it just so happens that the Three Kingdoms craze brought by the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" TV series has not passed, so readers' tastes are still focused on the theme of the Three Kingdoms, and Mengzi He wrote such a correct book at this right time, he can't think about it, right?
This kind of thing, just like when the "Crazy Boy" series of movies was popular, there were underworld student novels all over the Internet.
"Heh, is it true that the times create heroes?"
After hanging up the phone, Meng Zhe whispered to himself, but then he began to think that if Mengzi is a hero created by the times, then is he a hero? Or is it the 'mastermind' behind the situation?
"I guess it's the 'mastermind behind the scenes'......"
After thinking about it for a long time, looking at a fashionable girl hurrying out of the car window in a winter skirt, thick leggings and knee-high heeled boots in the cold winter, Meng Zhe came up with this answer - just like this fashionable girl who just hurriedly walked by the car window, moved things that should not have appeared in this era to this era, who else is not the mastermind behind the creation of the current situation?
"What's behind that?"
Guan Yingluo, whose face was full of inexplicability, asked Meng Zhe - she also saw the fashionable girl who had just walked by, and the fashionable girl who guessed correctly should be full of 'Kong Menghuazhang' cards.
After more than a year of development, the current 'Kong Menghuazhang' has started from simple clothing manufacturing, and then involves jewelry, shoes and hats.
"No, nothing." Meng Zhe naturally wouldn't tell Kong Lan what he was thinking, so he casually changed the topic: "I said Yingluo, who are you taking me to meet?" ”
After arriving in Yanjing, Meng Zhe had just led everyone to find the hotel where Kong Lan was staying and settled in the reserved room, and was dragged into a taxi by Guan Yingluo, and Meng Zhe took the time to make a phone call in the car.
Just like Meng Zhe asked, from the day he asked Meng Zhe to go back to Yanjing with Meng Zhe and take Meng Zhe to see someone, Guan Yingluo has not revealed to Meng Zhe who he wants to see for so much in the past month.
"You'll find out right away."
Although she was about to arrive at her destination, Guan Yingluo still did not answer Meng Zhe's question.
Hearing this answer, Meng Zhe shrugged his shoulders helplessly, and the taxi driver who saw Meng Zhe's helpless shrugging through the rearview mirror reached out and pulled the channel of the car radio with the corners of his mouth upturned.
Although in the eyes of most people, the taxi drivers in the capital are Kanye who can go to the Great Hall of Renming to make a two-hour report without stopping, but now the driver master who has pulled Meng Zhe and Guan Yingluo for this trip is obviously not - he is silent like a stuffy gourd, but he is silent and silent, and the driver will still laugh when he sees something funny.
Under the casual pull of the driver, the voice of a music program host came from the radio in the car, and the host said in a soft voice: "...... Tu Fei, who has just come from Shanghai, ordered a song "Sigh of Joy" for Meng Jiji, she wants to wish Meng Jiji to draw more good-looking cartoons, produce more good-looking cartoons in the new year, and be healthy and prosperous, she hopes that her wishes can be conveyed to Meng Jiji through our radio...... Oh, then let's listen to this composition with me, which is actually the music of the genius boy Meng Jiji......"
When "Sigh of Ease" sounded, Meng Zhe blinked his eyes - Tu Fei?
Could it be that at the annual meeting in October, the Tu Fei who cosed the heroine of "Sword of Immortals" Han Lingsha? ——
The dividing line, the following is a free 1000-word content - obviously, Meng Zhe did not guess wrong, this Tu Fei who finally made a phone call for him in a radio music program, and then ordered "Sigh of Joy" is the Tu Fei he guessed.
"These kids, why do they like to play songs for that Meng Jiji so much?"
When the song sounded, the silent taxi driver suddenly complained in a dissatisfied tone.
"Are there a lot of people who are on-demand?"
Where did Meng Zhe have time to listen to the radio all day, so he asked with a little curiosity.
"Many! It's more! I don't understand...... That Meng Jiji, didn't he just draw some messy comics, and then made two cartoons that didn't mean anything? How can it be so attractive to children?! ”
Under Meng Zhe's inquiry, the driver, who had been silent all the way, finally opened the conversation - Meng Zhe heard that the driver master obviously had a negative attitude towards him.
But why is this so?
Meng Zhe didn't feel that when did he sin against this unknown taxi driver, and he asked himself if he had ever scandalized the taxi driver in his comics?
So, Meng Zhe, who had such a thought, asked, because he was busy talking on the phone along the way, Guan Yingluo didn't call his name, so the taxi driver didn't know that the person he was talking to her was Meng Jiji, whom he was dissatisfied with.
At first, the taxi driver didn't say anything, but under the questioning of Meng Zhe, who had gradually mastered communication skills, the taxi driver finally said the reason why he was very dissatisfied with Meng Jiji.
"Hey, you rich children, how do you know about us poor families, we people come and go in the wind and rain to earn money, all we want is to be able to support our wives and children. I'm forty-six years old this year, and I have a kid about your age in the family, but that kid can't make it! ”
When the taxi driver said this, he let out a long sigh before continuing: "In the past, although my son's academic performance was not good, he was still ranked in the top fifteen of the class. But since he came into contact with Meng Jiji's stinky boy's "Anime Boy" this year, his academic performance has plummeted, and Cheng Yuli told me that children are not dolls of their parents, and he also wants to take Meng Jiji as an example to learn to draw comics, and make a small fuss in the first three days at home and a big fuss in five days......"
These words made Meng Zhe a little unsure of how to speak, but fortunately, at this time, Guan Yingluo opened his mouth for him: "You should tell him that not everyone has the talent of Meng Jiji, so not everyone can become the second Meng Jiji." ”
Obviously, Guan Yingluo was defending Meng Zhe by saying this, and she didn't think that Meng Zhe needed to bear any responsibility for this matter at all.
"That's it! Why didn't you say these words! Unexpectedly, Guan Yingluo's words made the taxi driver's complaint also raised: "But I don't listen!" That stinky boy, what did you tell me that children are not dolls of their parents, children are self-thinking people...... He also said that this was said by Meng Jiji, little girl, you give a comment - how can Meng Jiji Guitar say this, this kind of discordant words? Doesn't he know that what he says can affect a person like my son for the rest of his life?! ”
