"In addition to professional sports equipment and apparel, adidas also has a casual sports line with a focus on fashion style...... Young, trendy, energetic and dynamic is the goal of our brand, so in addition to requiring the spokesperson to have popularity and affinity, it is also necessary to have a fresh and natural, optimistic and sunny personal image ......"

"We appreciate that F&Q has a very high reputation on the Internet, but with all due respect, F&Q has been famous for too short a time, and its popularity, reputation, appeal and influence lack depth and breadth...... Moreover, there is a gap between the online world and the real world, and we are not yet sure how F&Q's real influence among young people ......"

"Even if the data is true, I still need to point out that F&Q's music style is very messy, there is no strong personality, and most of the songs are slow and too mild, which does not fit the DNA of our brand's main sport...... We asked for dynamic music that was intense, rebellious, and had a personality, so that it could attract the attention of young people......"

During the entire meeting, Fang Xiao didn't say a word, letting Zhu Linlin and Mai Qingxin take the lead, and it wasn't until this moment that he spoke: "Music is no problem, what you want, what I give." ”

"Mr. Fang, can you come up with some works for us to refer to?" Across the conference table, a dark-skinned, middle-aged man with distinctly Southeast Asian features said in English, "Is a week enough?" We'll talk about that next week, OK? ”

"Don't wait a week, there are no instruments here, otherwise I can play it for you now." Fang Xiao looked at the time for a while, and then said: "Tonight, our F&Q will hold a small open-air concert at the Songjiang Conservatory of Music, Mr. Gao Jieli - and these gentlemen - if you are interested, you can take the time to take a look." I'll play some intense, dynamic music on the spot. ”

This Southeast Asian named Gao Jieli in Chinese is the brand director of Adidas China, and with a professional smile, he said: "Mr. Fang's invitation, I will consider it." ”

……

The makeshift stage is relatively simple and not high above the ground. There was no lifting equipment, only a few tents were made behind the curtain, which was kind of powder room and lounge.

"So many people." Qian Qing looked at the crowd outside and asked in a low voice, "Arlene, are you nervous?" ”

"A little. What about you? ”

"A little bit too."

"There's nothing to be nervous about." Fang Xiao looked back at her and said with a smile: "The concert is free, we are no different from street performances tonight, and it's not a big deal if the performance is smashed, anyway, those audiences didn't pay." ”

Permission glared at him. Warned: "You give me a serious point! ”

"That's it, boss, be serious." Mai Jiexin held her glasses with both hands and said, "Tonight is my home field, and if I mess up, I won't have the face to see my hometown fathers." ”

Fang Xiao shrugged his shoulders, made a stressed expression, then snapped his fingers, led the way to the stage, and said, "Okay." Let's come out. ”

Qian Qing sighed slightly, feeling that her heartbeat was much more stable.

I don't know if I don't see it. Startled at the sight, standing on the stage, Fang Xiao couldn't help but take a breath after looking around, there were many more audiences than expected!

They decided to come to the concert on the fly. The preparation was very inadequate, so apart from having Mak Jiexin's classmates put up a few posters on campus, there was no other publicity, and there was no push message on the Internet.

The total number of students and faculty members of Songjiang Conservatory of Music is only about 10,000, considering the school's bullish heritage and consistent elegant style. There shouldn't be too many people to cheer for the temporary simple concert held by a new online singer group like F&Q, but the audience in front of them almost filled most of the football field......

I don't know if Lu Dao is giving Mai Jiexin face, or if our F&Q is really popular......

When the audience saw them appear, there was a chaotic burst of applause and whistles, mixed with a few screams, which was very atmospheric.

After Fang Xiao waited for everyone to be in place, he turned into the microphone and said the simple and boring opening sentence: "So...... Here we go. ”

Then he picked up his guitar and bowed down to make a gesture of please, and Mai Jiexin stepped forward and picked up the microphone from the shelf, which was her alma mater, which immediately caused another round of applause.

When the piano sounded, she began to sing, singing "In My Singing", this song is quite popular, although because of the short release time, it has not been sung all over the streets and alleys like in her previous life, but as soon as Mai Jiexin opened her mouth, there were audience members singing along.

"Mr. Gao Jieli, F&Q came to China's top music academy to hold a concert without any publicity, and attracted so many audiences, which is enough to show their strength and influence in reality, right?" In the side stands, Zhu Linlin pointed to the crowded crowd in the stadium and said: "And if you look closely, you will find that there are many spectators wearing F&Q's T-shirts, our T-shirts have been on sale for less than 10 days, and there are so many in Songjiang, which shows the appeal of F&Q." ”

Gao Jieli did not answer, he held a telescope and walked back and forth through the crowd.

"It's a good feeling to be back at my alma mater." After Mai Jiexin sang "In My Singing", he did not return to the electronic synthesis, but held the microphone and said with a smile: "I really want to sing every song written by Fang Xiao, but I am alone in Hong Kong, and I dare not speak if I want to sing. ”

While she ridiculed herself, she also provoked a sense of regional honor, and immediately let the applause and noise of the scene cheer for her.

Fang Xiao cooperated with the audience, hugged her fists and made a gesture of begging for mercy, and then motioned for her to continue, Mai Jiexin continued to sing, starting from "Childhood", and sang four or five songs suitable for her to sing, such as "Glass", "Dream Sky is Extraordinarily Blue", "The Story of Time", etc., each song has been re-arranged, the electronic synthesizer has been removed, and the simplest combination is used, which is more concise and fresh, compared with the previously released version. It's a different flavor.

When the first episode of "F&Q Dream Rookie", Mak Jiexin said that her dream was to be a music producer, not a lie, these arrangements were all completed by her alone, and the arrangement was very personal. It is also very suitable for her to sing by herself, and when she showed it to Uncle Bao, Uncle Bao was amazed and impressed by her.

The stadium where the concert was held was very old, with only the stands on the east side, and the other three parties were barbed wire, and when Mak finished singing the popular song "We Are All Good Boys", the football field was already crowded with spectators, and many people gathered outside the barbed wire.

"My dad used to teach me. Be content, I sang six songs in a row, I was very satisfied, it was time to hand over the microphone to Fang Xiao...... I know that although you support me very much, you want to see Fang Xiao's performance, because he is the ace of F&Q and a real star. Mai Jiexin held the microphone and paused for a while before saying, "But there is a song." I have to sing it once, or I'll feel sorry. ”

She made a gesture of please. Two girls walked up from the left side of the stage, one holding a guzheng and the other holding a flute: "These two are my good friends, Ye Yixin and Han Su, they are top students in the folk music department." Next, we are going to sing a song that is very classical Chinese......"

Immediately, an audience member shouted and shouted: "Blue and White Porcelain!" "Blue and White Porcelain"! ”

"Blue and White Porcelain" is one of Jay Chou's masterpieces, and it is also one of the representative works of the Chinese style music genre, with beautiful melodies and poetic lyrics, it already has all the elements of popular popularity. Fang Xiao added a gimmicky "creative process" to it, making this song legendary from the moment it came out, so it was repeatedly mentioned on the Internet and in the media circle, and in just one week, it spread all over the country, boosting its dragonfly music on the red heart listening list to beat "Childhood" and rank first on the list.

The melodious guzheng and whimpering flute, combined with Mai Jiexin's clear voice like pure water, let the audience indulge in the atmosphere full of antiquity, and the whole football stadium is silent.

"A piece of blue and white porcelain, love and hate things through the ages." Fang Xiao stood backstage, holding a bottle of water, and said: "Listening to the ancient style and ancient rhyme, I remembered Su Dongpo's sentence in "Red Cliff Fu": mourn the moments of my life, envy the infinity of the Yangtze River, and take the flying immortals to swim, hug the bright moon and end forever." It's a pity there is no moon tonight. ”

Standing side by side with him in front of the tent, Xu Xu looked up at the night sky and asked, "When did you memorize ancient texts?" ”

"There's no way, I have to carry it, otherwise I will always be deceived by Uncle Bao." Fang Xiao took a sip of water and said with a smile: "At the last dinner, Uncle Bao talked about Wang Xizhi's silk and bamboo orchestra and talked about his nostalgia, in fact, what Wang Xizhi said in "Orchid Pavilion Preface" is that although there is no silk and bamboo orchestra, it is enough to talk about the romance with a single song. ”

"The meaning is almost the same, you actually chew the words at this time." Xu leaned over him and said, "You haven't practiced the drum kit much, are you sure that you can go up and perform now?" ”

"I just want to express that rhythm, and the technique is not the key."

"Why don't you write out all the scores and let Arlene practice in advance?"

"Those of us are not suitable for singing dynamic songs live, so we can only play pure music." Fang Xiao put the half-drunk plastic bottle on the ground and said, "I will write the score, and then let Arlene knock it, there is a layer in the middle, and the effect will be weak, so it is better to do it yourself, and knock it as much as you want, it may be better." ”

"Qiao Yadan may be able to sing a more dynamic song, Lan Xiaoxi's sense of rhythm is very good, but it's a pity that it's too introverted and not infectious."

"Let's try when she comes back." Fang Xiao heard that Mai Jiexin was about to finish singing, so he said, "I'll go and prepare." ”

"Hmm." Xu Xu clenched his small fist and encouraged, "Knock well." ”

Fang Xiao smiled, turned around and said, "Don't give a kiss of love." ”

"Dirty, no kiss!"

"Blue and White Porcelain", accompanied by a guzheng and flute, won a full house, and Mak and her two friends took a curtain call again and again before leaving.

Fang Xiao came on stage alone, sat behind the drum kit, and said, "Good evening, everyone...... Thank you for your applause, I am grateful...... Really, Songjiang Conservatory of Music is a mecca of music in China, no one is not timid to sing here, as soon as I first came on stage, I saw so many people coming, I thought it was specially here to cheer, but I didn't expect it to be ......"

"Mai Jiexin just played a leisurely and leisurely ancient style, now let me try the strong and dynamic modern rhythm...... It's my first time playing the drums, the level is average, everyone is more tolerant, if you really can't listen to it, you can also drink a few inverted colors......"

Fang Xiao had been in the bar for so long in his previous life, and he knew a little bit about various musical instruments, and in the month after the crossing, every time he rehearsed, he didn't just play guitar and sing, and he also tried other instruments when he had time, but the most played was the electronic synthesizer, followed by the bass, and the most reluctantly the drum kit.

If Shi Lilin's level is 100 points, Fang Xiao only has 50 points at most, but in the past month, his understanding of music has improved greatly.

He knocked for dozens of seconds, then changed the tune and continued to knock, giving people the illusion that it was just right, and when he hit the third tune, Gao Jieli in the stands spoke: "Mr. Fang is worthy of being a musical genius, the rhythm of these songs is very good, and it is very suitable for making background music for our advertisement." ”

Zhu Linlin just smiled.

If Fang Xiao heard it, he would laugh even harder, these songs were all advertising songs used by Adidas in his previous life, and he only knocked on a simplified version, of course he didn't hear it, so he knocked the fourth song - "Adidas-to-Addis".

As a brand with a history of nearly 100 years, its corporate image and temperament have long been solidified into the bone marrow, so in the past and present lives, the requirements for advertising music are naturally similar, so after knocking the song with the brand for a while, Gao Jieli said: "This seems to be better." ”

"These are just improvised tunes, Mr. Fang can tailor advertising songs for you according to your company's requirements." Zhu Linlinyou said: "Mr. Gao, in my opinion, music is only secondary, your company has a very famous advertising slogan, impossible-is-nothing, nothing is impossible, I think Mr. Fang's almost miraculous performance in the field of music and business is the best interpretation of this advertising slogan." ”

Gao Jieli stroked the telescope hanging around his neck and nodded slightly.

"Mr. Gao, let me say one more thing, there is an old Chinese saying, after this village, there is no such shop, Mr. Fang in addition to music, also in the IT field is also very accomplished, his career is very fast, maybe next month will become a billionaire with assets of hundreds of millions of dollars, your company's endorsement contract, for him will be meaningless."
