On June 20th, at 7 o'clock in the morning, after Fang Xiao got up, he opened the curtains, looked outside, and frowned slightly, it was still a rainy day - there was nothing wrong with a little more rain in summer, but Qiao Yadan was going to leave for a few days, and he was a little reluctant. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info79

Unconsciously, the status of this little goblin in his heart became more and more important......

Looking at the dripping rain for a while, Fang Xiao turned around and walked into the bathroom, after washing, he took a set of matching clothes from the wardrobe, he is now a real superstar, stars and fashion are not separated, what clothes to wear every day, what hat to wear will be judged by others, and then cause follow-up, such as the old military uniforms and old schoolbags in the fifties used when singing red songs at music festivals, they were all the rage on the shopping network, there are hundreds of different shirts with different pictures and different styles on the official website of Google, Fang Xiao every time he goes on the " F&Q Show" wears whichever one, the sales of that one will increase a lot the next day.

Fang Xiao is a typical otaku, in his previous life, every summer, he was a plaid shirt or shirt + khaki shorts + canvas shoes to walk the world, but now he has permission and Qiao Yadan to help him buy clothes, and Qin Fengyi helps him for reference, changing it every day, and he doesn't bring the same for a month, this time he is going to work in the company, so he wears a relatively simple white shirt + navy blue shorts, which looks ordinary and concise, but after wearing it, there is an indescribable fashion atmosphere, I don't know if it's because of a good figure, or an illusion that I feel too good......

When I walked out of the bedroom, I found that everyone was up, Fang Dongping and Qiao Jin's biological father were watching TV in the living room, Qiao Yadan and her mother were making breakfast, and Xu was watching the news on the tablet.

"How's the online review?"

"Like you said, the praise is overwhelming." Xu Xu looked up at him, and then said, "It's nothing, but there are people in the industry who can't sit still." Fan Qi announced his resignation from Yinlong Records, saying that he was stimulated by our concert and wanted to be a pure Internet singer. ”

Fang Xiao was stunned for a moment and asked, "Fan Qi is the music director of Yinlong Records, right?" ”

"Hmm." Xu handed him the tablet and said, "Look for yourself, he sent a long note at 9 o'clock last night." ”

Fang Xiao has been clear about the domestic music circle for more than two months. It's no longer a cross-border party with two eyes in the dark, and I know who Fan Qi is.

Fan Qi was originally a young man who drifted north, drifted for 3 years, got a chance to release a record in 97, and became famous in one fell swoop, his debut "Daydream" album sold more than 300,000 copies, and 4 of his songs became the golden songs of the year, which were popular for a while, and later joined the background as a producer. He made records for some well-known singers, joined Yinlong Records as the music director in 2003, and discovered many newcomers, known as "star promoter" and "godfather of Beipiao music", and is a very important figure in the music circle.

How could this kind of old Jianghu, who is not short of money, resources, or fame, suddenly resign and come to be an Internet singer?

Fang Xiao took the tablet, sat down on the sofa opposite the license, and looked at it carefully.

"After watching F&Q's concert. I lay half-asleep in bed for a whole day, and then I made a very important decision - I decided to leave Sounddragon Records. Leave the 'record company music co-prosperity circle' that has to be compromised everywhere, leave all kinds of strange unspoken rules and strange phenomena, and wholeheartedly be a pure musician, an online musician!

I've always thought that music is the most beautiful genie in the world, but now this genie is dead. It was killed, the record company was the killer, the musician was the accomplice, and the listener and the singer were the innocent victims.

Have you noticed? In recent years, there have been more and more saliva songs with no artistic value, and they have been crazy on major music charts, why? Because the record company thinks that these songs are entertaining enough, easy to sing, there is a 'market', it will be 'hot', and it will make a lot of money, since there is a market, what the 'market' needs, the record company will give it, as for what r&b, what jzz, what b dew es, what people care, what artistic value, the record company doesn't consider it at all, because the boss of the record company, one out of ten doesn't understand music, they are just businessmen, they want to make money, music? Nobody cares!

Music producers all work for the boss, and the boss has to make saliva songs to make money, does the musician have the right to object? Musicians are also human beings, they have to receive a salary to support their families, there is no dignity at all, and the producer wants to sing saliva songs, what right does the singer have to object? I can only pinch my nose and sing, so a lot of the music we make is not the music we want to make, nor is it the music we like, but what can we do? You won't die if you're unhappy, but you can't eat if you don't eat.

Is it ridiculous? A fan who likes music, hears the song, but is a boss who doesn't know anything and a group of musicians who accommodated in order to eat, everyone knows that whether it is making music or making entities, garbage products will eventually ruin the entire industry, but music companies don't care, they just need to make money in front of them, as for the future, who cares? Without music, there are movies, there is real estate, and in short, there are many industries that make money, but music is dead, where will musicians, singers and fans go?

When I first came into contact with music, I was just a young man who loved music, at that time I didn't know what packaging was, what publicity was, what was the market, and I never wanted to be a rich person, I just wanted to make music that I liked, I felt that making music was a very lucky and sacred job, but when I entered the record company, I found that many things were not as simple as I thought, in order to cater to the market, in order to commercialize, the record company put a lot of good music on the shelf, And then desperately sell those garbage saliva songs, which makes me feel very uncomfortable and makes me feel guilty, because I sell fans as shark fin to fans who love music but don't know how to tell the difference, I deceive their ears, spoil their appetite, make them think that shark fin is the taste, make their music so vulgar, so they don't eat shark fin anymore, never listen to music anymore!

I am an unforgivable liar, but I keep saying to myself: you want to eat, you want to live, you just have to do it......

F&Q's concert made me suddenly realize that everything is all. It's just an excuse, Fang Xiao doesn't have a record company, but he doesn't go hungry, he lives well, Fang Xiao doesn't cater to the market, but he creates a bigger market. Fang Xiao is also engaged in commercialization, but his music is not garbage!

Is "Men Should Be Self-Reliant" easy to sing? Is "Dream Chasing" pleasant? Is Advanced Animals mainstream? Is "Proverbs of Love" sweet? Neither! None of them are "marketable", none of them cater to popular customs, but are they good music? Be!

All the reasons for eating and living are lies, and over the years, I have accommodated and gotten to the heart of being my own music, and I have scolded the record company for catering to the market. In fact, I myself am becoming more and more vulgar, I scold the record company for only caring about making money, in fact, I myself am becoming more and more utilitarian, and the status of music in my heart is getting lower and lower, like a music box in the attic, which has not been opened for a long time and is covered with dust.

The F&Q blew away the dust from the music box and made the moving music sound again. It awakens my original intention, from today. I want to be like F&Q, draw a line with those music killers, throw off the hat of accomplices, embrace the Internet, and be a pure musician, whether the music is good or not. It doesn't matter if the record company says it, it doesn't count if the market says it, only your own heart and the ears of your fans say it!

Finally, I would like to borrow a lyric from "Advanced Animals" to encourage all those who love music:

Hell and heaven are all on earth!

- Fan Qi. ”

This micro-note is written in a bit interesting......

It seems to be heart-wrenching, but it is actually waiting for the price to sell?

Fang Xiao put the tablet down. touched his head and said, "Fan Qi came to see our concert?" ”

"Yes, Peng Yukai invited more than 20 musicians from Beijing to come to the concert, not only him, but also Li Wei of Skylark Records."

Li Wei and Lin Zhicheng are known as the lark record double wall, but he has been working as a producer behind the scenes, and his popularity is not as high as Lin Zhicheng, who likes to perform in front of the stage, but his weight is by no means weaker than Lin Zhicheng, and he is one of the leading figures in the Jingshi music circle.

"Manager Peng's talent is outstanding!" Fang Xiao learned the emperor's tone in the costume court drama, and after praising it, he thought about it and said, "What Fan Qi said is high-sounding, but he actually wants to stand on his own, right?" Warner is said to be intending to acquire Sounddragon Records. ”

"Maybe." Permission was noncommittal, she pointed to the tablet and said, "Li Wei also sent a long micronote, you can see it if you take a step back." ”

Li Wei is also a heavyweight character, Fang Xiao clicked on the tablet with interest, and saw another blog.

"At dinner today, Lao Fan told me that he planned to leave Yinlong Records and become an online musician.

Lao Fan has been the director of Yinlong for 11 years, and has made Yinlong from an underground music company to one of the three local music companies in Beijing.

Lao Fan made a decision after watching "F&Q Concert", which I understand very well, because after the concert, I myself was full of thoughts and couldn't sleep at night, the appearance of F&Q and last night's concert had a great impact and inspiration on the traditional music industry, which can be said to be a revolutionary impact.

The traditional music industry is like a big stupid elephant, walking on the mountain road that is about to collapse, the musician is a tourist sitting on the big stupid elephant, knowing that there is a lot of danger ahead, but he can only let the stupid elephant go forward step by step, why, because the reins of the stupid elephant are held in the hands of the record company, and the musician can't control it at all.

Since the establishment of the first record company in 1888, the music industry has gone through more than 100 years of ups and downs, and now the record company is getting bigger and bigger, but the bigger the less I like to make music, because music is art, the risk is uncontrollable, and the distribution is commercial, the risk is controllable, and it can steadily grab profits, so the record company is more and more like a Hollywood film company, controlling the huge distribution channels, and the music production is outsourced, so that the fans and musicians are separated. Fans can only buy the music that the record company puts on the shelves, and the musician can only get feedback from the fans.

Record companies only focus on how to make money, and their attitude towards music is very different from that of fans, they don't look at quality and art, they only look at commercial factors, such as whether there are gimmicks? Is there enough saliva? Can it be sensational? For music companies, music with marketing value is good music, and under the bombardment of marketing, garbage songs are sold out like this, and after singing sweetly, the record company will keep releasing garbage songs, and in the long run, fans think that musicians in the Chinese music scene can only write garbage songs, but musicians are told that fans only like to listen to garbage songs......

How sad!

Let's imagine what would happen if Fang Xiao didn't use the Internet and went to a traditional record company.

First of all, the record company will not let Fang Xiao send songs such as "The Story of Time" and "Youth (Folk Version)", because they are out of place, the style is similar to the music of the 80s and 90s, the risk is too great, the logic of the record company is that we don't want to be good, as long as we don't have risks, in the same way, they will not allow Fang Xiao to adapt the red song and release "Eggs Under the Red Flag". As an aside, I very much agree with the point of view of reporter Jiao of "F&Q Concert Impression Review", "Eggs Under the Red Flag" and last night's "Advanced Animal" are Fang Xiao's most thoughtful works, raising his musical ceiling, with these two songs, Fang Xiao is a great musician, without them, Fang Xiao is just a very good musician - life is not only ups and downs, but also music.

Secondly, the record company will hide all of Fang Xiao's works, and then release an album every few months or half a year, and play some tricks when it is released, such as using a "Blue and White Porcelain" as the main hit, and then with ten garbage songs, packaged into an album and sold out, speaking of which, I think many record company bosses were vomiting blood last night, because the tracks in the F&Q concert can make at least 40 albums, and they are all "classic albums" with good word-of-mouth sales - each album will bring tens of millions of revenues, That's a lot more money than a concert, even if there are more than 8 million spectators at this concert!

Third, the record company will never let Fang Xiao be so free, they will package Fang Xiao and force him to go non-stop like a ghost, participate in various commercial performances, and sing those songs that have been released repeatedly, because Fang Xiao's every performance will bring millions of profits, how can he hide at home and continue to create, and without free time to create, how can there be "Proverbs of Love" and "A Laugh in the Sea"?

So we should be glad that Fang Xiao abandoned the record company very decisively from the beginning, chose the Internet, and used the open and free characteristics of the Internet to break the barrier deliberately created by the record company, and directly interacted with fans, thus creating a short but brilliant F&Q era.

The success of F&Q tells all musicians that in the Internet era, as long as the song is well written, there will be an audience, music is as simple as that, and a record label is not a necessity.

I think Lao Fan resigned from Yinlong, on the one hand, he has the courage and belief to pursue his inner musical ideals, on the other hand, he may also have the wit and vision that the building will fall, and it is wonderful to go first, in fact, we have been thinking about using the Internet to transform, such as the 20th anniversary celebration concert of Skylark held in September this year, it is possible to use a similar online live broadcast method as F&Q to share the joy of music with the majority of music fans.

Finally, good luck to Lao Fan!
