Chapter 68: Repercussions
On April 18, during the lunch break, on the 17th floor of the Heung Kong Media Building, five or six people stood or sat around a desk, watching videos and chatting.
"This Shi Lilin's drum beating is good, and her personality is also likable, no wonder she is so popular on the Internet."
"I heard that she is now popular abroad, and some foreign media say that she is a symbol of self-emancipation and sexual-love awakening of a new generation of Chinese women."
"Nonsense, foreigners' perception of our China is probably still stuck in the seventies. She's just a cheerful schoolgirl. ”
"Alas, it's really sad to live in such a small place and still have a smile on your face."
"Students, it's good to be able to rent a house, it's better than cramming four or five people into a dormitory."
Tian Yeming came out of the office and looked at the people in a circle, so he walked over, patted the bald man standing behind the most ugly, and asked, "Big head, what are you looking at?" ”
"F&Q's new video posted today." Datou put down the cup in his hand and asked, "Tiantou, is there something?" ”
"What can happen at noon?" Tian Yeming put his hands on his hands, sat down on the table next to him, and then said, "Pony, sit on the side a little, I'll take a look too." ”
"Head, do you want me to put it back?"
"No need, just keep watching." Tian Yeming responded casually, he watched and chatted: "Big head, this F&Q is Fang Xiao's orchestra?" ”
"Yes."
"Did he promise to come to the show?"
The big head touched the shiny bald head, and said helplessly: "I have contacted several times, and he has always said that he has no time to participate in the show, but he can write songs for others to sing." ”
"The purpose of our program is to select original singers with excellent singing and songwriting skills and inject new energy into the Chinese music scene. If you just write and don't sing, what is the difference between it and a traditional behind-the-scenes musician? He's a student, why doesn't he have time? Have you seen him in person? ”
"I went to Southern Normal University no less than ten times in the past few days, and I finally caught it twice, but every time I couldn't talk a few words, he went into the rehearsal room. As soon as the door closed, I couldn't talk at all. ”
"So what does he mean? Take the shelf for benefits? ”
"Not really." The big head shook his head with a pout, and said: "I think he really doesn't care about being on TV, I heard from his contact person that Brilliant Starry Sky, Huaihai Satellite TV, and Xianghu Satellite TV have all sent invitations, but Fang Xiao hasn't agreed yet." ”
"If it doesn't matter if it's on TV, what does he do posting videos on the Internet twice in three days. Isn't it faster to get on TV than to be famous? ”
"I don't know how to ...... Dao"
At this time, Tian Yeming waved his hand and signaled him not to speak for a while, and to focus on watching the video - Shi Lilin's camera has ended, and she is allowed to appear, and she also performs her talent when she comes out, but unlike Shi Lilin, she is playing the bass and singing at the same time.
The bass rarely appears as a solo instrument. As a separate accompaniment instrument is even rarer, but the permission in the video sits in the window. Playing and singing at the same time, the heavy bass, the wonderful girl, the thick and deep music, and the clear and transparent singing voice are refreshing.
“……
It's not a question of whether you're happy or not
I'm just your toy
Don't care so much at all
I won't be a problem on your side
Sadness is not sadness, there is no strength
……”
Tian Ye Ming dared to do a music program. Naturally, he is knowledgeable, he listened to it for a while, nodded in approval, and commented: "A small and fresh song, accompanied by a bass." It's a bit interesting and thoughtful. ”
The pony turned around and said with a smile: "Head, you really know the goods, in the Queen Orchestra, my favorite is this girl, who has good looks, good figure, good temperament, and money at home." ”
The female choreographer next to her quipped: "Pony, do you want to eat soft rice?" ”
"I thought, but unfortunately there is no way."
After the permission is played, the screen also stops, and the subtitles are typed - permission, bass, practice time: 9 months.
Then there are the interviews.
"Drums and bass are the most basic configuration of a band, and after Arlene went to practice the drums, I went to practice the bass...... I've practiced guitar before, but the guitar and bass are very different, the technique is completely different, and it took a long time to get it right...... I think there are still a lot of shortcomings in practicing for about six or seven hours a day...... I play the piano the best, the violin and accordion a little, and the guitar as well, but it's much worse than Fang Xiao...... He wrote this song for me, it's called "Breathable"......"
"Big head, if you go to Southern Normal University a few more times, you must invite this Fang Xiao over to the show."
"Boss, this song is not suitable for boys, right?" The female choreographer questioned and said: "And it's difficult for Xiao Xinxin to shine on TV." ”
"This song is obviously a sketch written casually, see the subtle knowledge, this Fang Xiao, there must be a lot of good songs hidden!"
……
"Versatile Network Exclusive! China's first online reality show "F&Q Dream Show" premiered shockingly......"
"Episode 1 - Shi Lilin publicly rolls the sheets in the nest, Fang Xiao shows off his guitar skills"
Chen Haoyu put aside the mouse, his face sank like water, stared at a few subordinates with low eyebrows and smooth eyes on the opposite side, suppressed his anger, and asked: "F&Q has been posting videos on our website before, why did you suddenly run to Duoyi.com?" ”
"Mr. Chen, they are individual users, they didn't sign a content creation contract with us, they just left, and we didn't expect ......"
Chen Haoyu slapped the table and said angrily: "F&Q has posted the last two videos on our fast watch network, with more than 5 million views, and it clearly says 'trailer', are you blind or illiterate?" I don't know what the three words of the trailer mean? Won't reach out to them to sign up? ”
"I emailed them, and they said they would consider it, but I didn't expect that it would only be two days later, and I went to Duoyi.com." The subordinate was aggrieved and said: "F&Q is a student of Southern Normal University, not far from the headquarters of Duoyi.com, so he ......"
"How long does it take to get from Songjiang to Hong Kong? It's only 2 hours, faster than the subway! Mail? Do you communicate with university students by email? Who birds you? Do you think this is America? Chen Haoyu, who has always been known for his short temper, pointed to the screen and roared: "Look for yourself, it's only been two hours since it was released, and the number of hits has exceeded 500,000, according to this momentum." It's not a problem to click on it, you have been doing a self-made show for two years, and there is a single episode with more than 10 million views? ”
"There are 31 episodes, adding up to more than 300 million views, and "Microphone Competition" is only 700 million views! 300 million clicks can bring at least 40 million advertising costs. You idiots, just lost your 40 million business! I have been emphasizing that we should pay attention to the creativity of netizens, and pay more attention to those excellent video authors. ……”
Several subordinates didn't dare to come out.
"Li Yuqing, you will go to Hong Kong in the afternoon and find F&Q to buy the webcast rights of their campus concert." After Chen Haoyu lost his temper, he instructed: "I don't care what method you use, in short, I want to find a business back." In the Internet era, every business must be calculated by hours and minutes, don't do anything for me in the first two days, three days, I tell you, on the Internet, one day is a year! ”
……
"Holy shit. It's so bite! ”
"This hand speed, this rhythm. Damn, it's like you have wires in your hands. ”
"Fang Xiao, this birdman, used to be inconspicuous, but I didn't expect the guitar to be so good."
"People dare to hold concerts, how can they do without two brushes."
"Fang Xiao's realm is really incomparable. This kind of song can also be written, and you can see the way he plays, it is like flowing water, such a difficult tune, but it is as casual as playing a little star. ”
"Applejack. How is it dark this time? ”
"Black hair! He does have a problem with singing, so I said that he is not right, but this guitar can't be black, it's full of hard goods, I can't play it for the rest of my life, I can't accept it, from today, I changed from goose black to goose powder, and I won't be black in the future. ”
"Huang Tianyi, can you play this song?"
Huang Tianyi pursed his lips and didn't answer, he watched the video while simulating it with his fingers, and after watching it, he said: "If you practice well, you should be able to play." ”
"It's worthy of being the little prince of the guitar, this can also play, and it is very good to be able to play."
Huang Tianyi pursed his lips and smiled bitterly, he used to be the little prince of guitar who was proud of the entire conservatory, but now he is a copycat party who "can play very well", in the eyes of everyone, the realm between him and Fang Xiao is more than a notch......
……
"I like it, I like it, I like it!" - "Please come out of the second episode soon", "I can't wait, I want to listen to a new song", "This is much better than the reality show on the TV station", "The TV station is too fake"
"Great love Shi Lilin, this sister is at ease at home, comfortable on the road, and works smoothly together, the best!" - "Xiao can be the highest, light and soft, and his temperament is dusty." "I like the Mai sisters!" "I want it all!"
"Kneel down and beg Fang Xiao's "classical-gas" guitar tabs!" - "You can't play it even if you ask for it", "Let's practice for 10 years first", "I may not be able to play it in 10 years", "After watching the video, I immediately decided to buy a guitar! "I'm going to book a plane ticket right now and go to Hong Kong on June 18 to see his concert."
"Ask for a download of "Straight to the Point". - "Together, I want a studio version" "Why hasn't Fang Xiao released a record yet?" Are those record companies blind? "It's said that he wants to start his own company" "Then I'll release a single first, I can't watch videos on a 24-hour loop." "Maybe it's a deliberate effort by Duoyi to force us to contribute clicks."
"Manager Gu, are you looking for me?"
"Xiao Guo, Xiao Zhang, sit." Gu Yongming minimized the browser, and then said with a smile: "After the first episode of F&Q's reality show was broadcast, the response was very good. Xiao Guo, you have made a great contribution this time, and from now on, you will be promoted to an official choreographer. ”
"Xie Lu, thank you, Manager Gu."
"Good job." Gu Yongming encouraged him twice, and then said to Zhang Xiaoou: "Xiao Zhang, F&Q over there, someone needs to follow up and communicate, I see that Fang Xiao has a good impression of you, so I plan to send you over as a liaison, what do you think?" ”
Zhang Xiaoou was overjoyed, and said with crooked eyebrows: "Manager Gu, you are really an angel, I will go over to report in a while." ”
"Don't rush yet, you can go tomorrow." Gu Yongming advised: "You have to pay attention, in addition to communication at work, you also have to pay more attention to prevent other companies from getting angry and sending people to dig into the corners." ”
“OK。” (To be continued......)
PS: Fang Xiao's guitar song is the classic song "classical-gas" by the finger playing master Tommy-Emmanuel, I recommend you to go to Youku to watch the video, the play is very exciting, and it is fascinating.
