Chapter Ninety-Three: Commentary

Zhang Xinjia's guess is not wrong, this night's mini concert is really a show for the media.

After four episodes of fermentation, F&Q seems to be the rising sun and has become an Internet celebrity, but because Fang Xiao insists on not providing digital music downloads, nor authorizing it to other music websites or media, it limits the scope and speed of music dissemination, and many people in society are prejudiced against "Internet songs", so from a national point of view, F&Q's popularity and influence are still very weak, you must know that the average number of hits of each episode of "F&Q Dream Rookie" is only about 30 million. Considering the behavior of many fans repeating the song many times in order to listen to it, the stable audience may be less than 10 million, which is only one percent of the total population of the country.

But even so, "F&Q Dream Rookie" is also the most successful self-made program of the video website in the history of China, and it has the potential to become a "phenomenal" program, so that Duoyi Network naturally wants to promote it with all its might, hype it, and operate it into a trump card program similar to "Mai Ba Sai", firstly, the two sides will divide the account fifty-fifty, the more prosperous the program, the more income, and secondly, Duoyi Network is preparing to go public in the United States, and there is a "phenomenal" program of national carnival in hand, which is an excellent gimmick and can greatly improve the company's imaginationto get more money back from the capital market.

In fact, as early as after the first episode of "F&Q Dream Show" was broadcast, Duoyi.com wanted to get involved in and control Google and firmly grasp F&Q, but the problem was that the core character Fang Xiao did not enter, whether it was acquisition, shareholding or technical support, and no matter how attractive the price was, they were all rejected, insisting that the program operate completely independently, and Duoyi was not allowed to interfere.

This state of imminent departure makes Duoyi very uncomfortable and helpless. But there is no way, the situation is stronger than people, and Duoyi has no choice but to come up with the trick of chasing the goddess with silk, showing sincerity and full cooperation, even if it can't move F&Q's heart. You can maintain a good cooperative relationship, you can't share the same bed, and you can still help each other in the same boat.

Tonight's mini concert is a media public relations meeting with dozens of editors, reporters and well-known music critics from different circles, who have the right to speak in public opinion, but they are not willing to shout for the so-called "vulgar" Internet songs "for free".

Originally, there were two plans for the multi-art network. One is to hold a luxury party on the top floor of the Hong Kong International Hotel, inviting some popular stars in the entertainment industry to cheer up and build momentum for F&Q, and the other is to hold a guitar recital at the Xiangjiang Grand Theater to build momentum for Fang Xiao, but Fang Xiao vetoed it, he doesn't want to take too big a step now, and finally compromised. This mini-concert was held on the campus of Southern Normal University, and one-third of the audience was media professionals. One-third are friends of F&Q members, and one-third are VIP members.

When Fang Xiao appeared in a T-shirt, holding a stool in one hand and a guitar in the other, he sat next to Qu Shouzheng in the middle of the left side of the front row. A woman who was about thirty years old, but had a cute watermelon hairstyle for teenage girls with a look of disdain, and said: "Mr. Qu, this Fang Xiao is too ignorant of etiquette, you specially arranged a concert." also came to the venue in person, he was so casual, he didn't take it seriously at all, and he didn't even wear a formal outfit...... Internet singer, tsk, Internet singer! ”

Qu Shouzheng just smiled and said: "Young people, it is normal for people to be arrogant and arrogant, and I also ask Editor-in-Chief Wang to be merciful and bear with me." ”

"Hehe, Mr. Qu, you are really an adult, but young people are too sharp, it may not be a good thing, in this kind of formal occasion, there are some things that should be paid attention to......"

"Fang Xiao has this temper, there is no way, I am also very helpless."

Zheng Hongtao, who was sitting on the other side of Qu Shouzheng, looked at Fang Xiao who was like no one on the stage, and his heart was also very depressed, this guy is good at everything, has a good temper, is modest, and looks gentle and elegant, but he is too protective of food, and he doesn't let go of the copyright, whether it is Chat Music under Duocai, the parent company of Duoyi.com, or Xiaoxiao Music, looking for music, these domestic online music giants, all of them are not licensed, this kind of behavior of making enemies on all sides has seriously limited the development of "F&Q Dream Show".

Talk about music at a price of tens of millions and want to buy an exclusive license, but you don't give it, what are you thinking? It is important to know that the active users of Ludao Chat are as high as 800 million, and with Chat Music for promotion, the number of clicks on "F&Q Dream Rookie" can at least double!

Is it because the opening price is low and you want to sell at the price? Or are you really ambitious and want to make your own music website?

Is a music site that you can play if you want to? Don't think that "2048" earns $100,000 a day is great, that money is not enough in front of the giants......

As a musician, how good it is to honestly take royalties and live comfortably, why bother......

When Zheng Hongtao was in a hurry, Fang Xiao sat down, finished his opening remarks, and began to play the guitar, his opening remarks were short and casual, but as soon as the guitar strings moved, an inexplicable atmosphere enveloped the entire small theater, and no one exchanged their heads and ears, and everyone listened attentively.

When the song ended, the editor-in-chief Wang clapped his hands casually and commented: "The guitar is good, but the people are too impetuous, the typhoon is not good, there is no appearance of being a star, what should be said is not spoken, and what should not be talked about is nonsense, hey, this quality, even if you are talented, you can't get along in the entertainment industry." ”

Zheng Hongtao couldn't help but glance at her, this woman is the deputy editor-in-chief of "Xiangjiang Entertainment Weekly", "Xiangjiang Entertainment Weekly" is one of the top traditional entertainment media in China, especially influential in the south, but in this way, I don't know if Lu Dao is pretending to be a gesture to benefit, or if he really has a deep prejudice against Internet singers.

Since then, whether it is Shi Lilin's "Nanping Evening Bell" or the licensed "Childhood", Editor-in-Chief Wang has derogatory, with disdain, saying that the former song is a random change of classics and a vulgar style, and the latter song is a fried overnight meal, and it uses slang into the lyrics, which is very indecent.

Fang Xiao's crisp guitar, melodious whistle, and Qiao Yadan's slightly hoarse singing voice perfectly interpreted the transparent but fragile, fresh but sad taste of "Glass", but the editor-in-chief Wang was also disdainful and said: "Pretentious, for the sake of new words, the current campus songs, come and go, will only make a fuss about love and love, indulge in personal fragile feelings and can't extricate themselves, there is no novelty at all, I don't know what to say." ”

Is this woman here to cheer, or is she here to tear down the stage?

Zheng Hongtao was slightly surprised, touched Qu Shouzheng, and then asked in a low voice, "What does she mean?" ”

"I didn't invite her, she came on her own." Qu Shouzheng and Zheng Hongtao have been old partners for many years, he tilted his head sideways and replied ambiguously: "There are people above, pampered and coquettish." ”

Zheng Hongtao was stunned.

After Qiao Yadan, it was Mai Jiexin who appeared, and her opening remarks were very concise: "Fang Xiao has a humming song, the name is very strange, it is called "I Suffered from a Cold in That Corner", this song is very good, but there are no lyrics, many people have tried to fill in the lyrics for it, and I also tried to fill in one." ”

“……

I remember that the sky was always so blue

I remember that road we walked over and over again

Looking forward to every smile you put at me

Every smile is deeply imprinted in my heart

The heartbeat is so chaotic

I love you more than ever

……”

Mai Jiexin's voice is like pure water, clean and transparent, elegant and pure, and the lyrics written are also small and fresh love, and the voice melody and lyrics are staggered, which is very beautiful.

The last is Lan Xiaoxi's appearance, she is simpler: "Last night we gathered, Fang Xiao wrote a Cantonese song to commemorate, and this morning wrote a Chinese version for me, I like it very much." ”

“……

Red dust is ridiculous

Infatuation is the most boring

It's okay to keep your eyes open

This life is not over

but the heart is not disturbed

I just want to get away with it for half a lifetime

Smile at people when you wake up

Forget it all in your dreams

Sigh that it was too early to get dark

……”

Lan Xiaoxi's voice adaptability is very wide, and she can sing almost any song, of course, her age and experience, she can't sing Chen Shuhua's ten thousand styles of seeing through the world and returning to the basics, but being young has the advantage of being young, she sang the uninhibited and carefree personality in "Laughing Red Dust", which has a unique taste.

"Bamboo canes and shoes are lighter than horses, and a cloud of smoke and rain is Ren Pingsheng. Mr. Qu, is this song written by Fang Xiao a bit of Su Dongpo's open-mindedness? ”

"When you say that, I think it's a bit like the style of the high-rollers in martial arts novels."

"What, Mr. Qu, this song is a typical legacy of folk songs handed down in the early 90s, piling up a bunch of unknown lyrics, lamenting the impermanence of the world, the shortness of life, touting the psychology of timely fun, negative escapism, this kind of song should be banned directly!" (To be continued......)

PS: It doesn't feel very good, but it's finally written, and I didn't break my promise......
