Chapter 38: Reflection
Fang Xiao arrived in Tsim Sha Tsui at about half past eight, and went on stage at about nine o'clock to perform, singing and writing, talking and chatting, tossing and turning for almost two hours, and after the end, he was surrounded by many guests, greetings, politeness, autographs, group photos, and handshakes...... has been disturbed, as if there is a hint of superstar momentum.
By the time they walked out of the bar, it was almost twelve o'clock, and the four of them walked out of the alley in silence, through the street, into the parking lot, got in the car, and set off for school.
As when I came, there was silence in the car, and the evening breeze blew through the window, blowing everyone's body and crushing everyone's heart.
Qiao Yadan sat in the back row, holding his arms with both hands, leaning his head on his shoulder, and sitting tightly with Fang Xiaoti, like that, it was a little like love was boiling, and it was a little like a demonstration of permission to look up at the rearview mirror in the car frequently.
The delicate body is soft, the air is like an orchid, the fragrance is surrounded, and the atmosphere is ambiguous, which makes Fang Xiao's heart feel like a cat scratching, somewhere is ready to move, a little bit about to puncture his clothes, and the trend of exposing his edge, in order to alleviate this symptom, he began to force himself to be distracted and calm, to review the performance in the bar just now.
When the car drove to the vicinity of Luohu, Fang Xiao had already summed up a lot of things that needed to be paid attention to and improved in the future.
A few days ago, in the spirit of making the best use of things, except for "The Wine Brewed by Love", he didn't release a single song with complete lyrics and songs, but tonight he suddenly went berserk, and released five songs in public at once, the main purpose is not to slap Sasha's face - to slap the face of an outdated female singer, it is enough to pick a saliva song with a similar style to hers, why bother to take five high-quality songs......
Fang Xiao's main purpose is two, one is to test whether he has the ability and charm to come to the front desk to be a star, and the other is to show Boss Wang the goods, he wants to sell songs.
It's not easy to be a star, it's not enough to just be able to sing, there are a sea of people in the world who have a good voice and can sing, but how many can become kings and queens?
On the stage, the speech and demeanor and temperament image must be charming, and off the stage, the treatment of people and personality and temperament must be affinity, coupled with other aspects of ability, so that the combination can achieve a career.
Things off the stage, Fang Xiao is not worried, he used to be a part-time accompanist for many years in a place like a bar, where dragons and snakes are mixed, and has cooperated with dozens of resident singers, including men and women, old and young, some have a bad temper, some have a bad temper, some have a strange temper, there has never been a dispute, and the reputation and reputation are good, so the affinity is not a problem.
The problem is that on the stage, he is an otaku stuffy - introverted otaku, only in the face of people close to him will talk freely, when he meets strangers, he becomes a saw-mouthed gourd, he doesn't like to say a word, when he used to save the scene in the bar, there were DJs or other singers on the side to help talk about the opening remarks or incite the atmosphere, and after he went up, he just had to play the tune.
With such a temperament, in front of the stage, or in front of the camera, in front of the crowd, will he remain calm? Can you talk and laugh freely? Is there a charm that turns beings upside down?
Fang Xiao was very unconfident in this, so when he decided to walk on two legs last night, make full use of the songs in his mind, and become both a big coffee and a tycoon, he decided to use the Twilight Bar as a test field, because the place here is not big, but the equipment is very complete, there are not many guests, but the atmosphere is very good, according to their reactions, you can judge how many catties and taels you have.
According to tonight's on-site feedback, his charm value seems to be not low, even if he can't be a superstar, it doesn't seem like a problem to be a first-class star......
Of course, there are many more problems with me, and to sum them up, there are no more than three.
The first mentality has not been adjusted well, and there is still a sense of guilt for plagiarism in the bottom of my heart, when performing, I always feel as if I am driving a stolen Rolls-Royce, with three girls swaggering and cheating, the surface scenery, the heart is melancholy, under the influence of this mentality, although the scene is very burning, but I can't burn, the outside is hot and the inside is cold, as if the whole person is divided into two, one is performing, the other is watching the play, and I can't integrate with the environment, this feeling is very awkward......
This mentality must be changed!
The authors of those lyrics and songs do not exist in this world, and whoever gets the ownerless thing is whoever gets it......
Whether it is knowledge or treasure, if you are the only one in the whole world who knows the Tao, then it is yours......
Think of the lyrics and songs in your memory as a loan borrowed from a bank and a tool to create new value, rather than a Rolls-Royce stolen for a ride......
……
After Fang Xiao hypnotized himself with various reasons, he went to summarize the second experience.
The second is a problem of mentality, always unconsciously hiding from the back, giving the scenery to others, and leaving the background to yourself.
Qiao Yadan sang the song that best suited the temperament of the bar and the taste of the audience, and sang a peculiar and charming song, although Lan Xiaoxi sang badly, but he took the initiative to help her increase her popularity......
Although Wu Bai's "Evening Breeze" is also a good song, its advantage is in the rhythm, and the song with a good rhythm is suitable for listening to the scene, not suitable for aftertaste, just like a chilled Coke, I drank it at the time, and it was very emotional, but if I drank it again after a few days, I didn't feel it.
Therefore, when the guests think back to tonight, it is easy to remember the three girls with distinctive characteristics, as for Fang Xiao, people will only remember his outstanding creative ability and amazing guitar skills, and these two are all behind-the-scenes work......
Tonight, these three girls have a lot to do with themselves, and it is okay to let them be in the limelight, if they encounter this kind of occasion that needs to be brilliant in order to be remembered in the future, they must not shrink back from the slack pendulum band......
Especially when your strength is limited and you haven't achieved fame yet!
Because doing so will cause a lot of trouble, for example, tonight, that Boss Wang has a strong interest in Lan Xiaoxi, and it seems that he wants to sign her, but he can't figure out what the relationship between her and Fang Xiao is, so he didn't say it......
If the company hasn't opened yet, Lan Xiaoxi, the only signed artist, has been poached, how can he be embarrassed? You must know that she and Xu Xu only signed a verbal contract, which has no legal effect, and once she leaves, it will be difficult to find such a good voice again.
Be sure to take care to avoid this kind of thing in the future......
I am the number one, the white jade pillar of the sky, the purple gold beam across the sea, everyone else is a lamb under my wings, only I am fierce and mighty, and others dare not grab food with me......
Fang Xiao hypnotized himself again for a while, and then went to think about the third question.
The third is that you need to find a professional to help train and design stage movements and images.
Tonight's performance style is very chaotic, when the first four sang "Evening Wind", they imitated the folk singer, and when they came out of the wine store, they raised their hands and walked down, imitating rock stars, when they played and sang "Evening Wind", they imitated Wu Bai, and when they gave permission to accompaniment, they imitated the finger playing master Tommy-Emmanuel, and when they gave Lan Xiaoxi a field, they imitated a familiar DJ in the bar in their previous life, and when they returned to the scene at the least, they told stories at home, and they imitated their friend Xiaomei in their previous life. Only when he accompanies Jordan is his true colors - quiet, restrained, not noisy, not grandstanding.
The reason why this is so is because he has no experience in stage performance, he can only use whatever he wants, and this chaotic style is not good, because it is not pure enough, has no personality, and cannot make a strong impression.
For example, when it comes to Faye Wong, people will think of Leng Yan, when it comes to Anita Mui, people will think of Variety, when it comes to Cai Qin, people will think of fever, when it comes to Jacky Cheung, people will think of affection, when it comes to Aaron Kwok, people will think of dancing......
Therefore, if you want to develop well in front of the stage, Fang Xiao needs to have his own unique label, he doesn't understand this and has no experience, so it's best to find an expert to help.
As for the second purpose tonight, selling songs to Boss Wang, it was his temporary idea.
When negotiating with the license in the morning, she once said that Li Baiyi wrote a lyric, and the market price was 100,000, which was not low, but Boss Wang promised to ask Li Baiyi to write a song for Sasha, for an outdated female singer, to spend such a large price to buy lyrics, which shows that his family background is not bad.
Permission to say that she only has 150,000 funds to use, all of which are invested in music companies, so Fang Xiao needs to find new sources of money to start "2048", in this case, it is the best choice to sell a few songs to slaughter local tyrants.
And this has the advantage of using songs that have been sold to test the current trend of pop music in this world.
The songs in his mind have a large time span, a wide variety of genres, and a messy style, and the songs that were very popular back then may not be in line with the current trend, so he needs to test the water first and prepare for releasing his own records in the future.
The effect of seeing the goods is very good, Boss Wang was under Uncle Bao's matchmaking, and after talking to Fang Xiao, he first wanted to sign a contract with him straight to the point, but after being politely refused, he immediately showed a strong purchase for Wu Bai's "Evening Breeze" and Lin Yilian's "Blown by the Cold Wind for You and Me".
Thinking of this, Fang Xiao broke the silence in the car and said, "Xiao Ke, if Boss Wang wants to buy songs, I'll leave it to you to sell." ”
"I'm your partner, not your agent." Xu Xu glanced at the rearview mirror again, and said angrily: "Go sell it yourself!" ”
"Hey, hey, you don't have the work ethic of a businessman, you don't want any money to send to your door, I'll give you a 10% commission."
Xu Xu snorted lightly twice and asked, "How much are you going to sell?" ”
"My "Evening Breeze" started at 100,000, and "Blown by the Cold Wind for You and Me" started at 200,000."
"Cut! Do you think you are Lin Zhicheng? Sell so expensive. Xu Xu first despised him, and then asked, "Why is the second most expensive 100,000?" ”
"Whether the price is expensive or not, the main thing is to see if the person who buys is in a hurry." Fang Xiao smiled and said, "This song was sung by Boss Wang, and I think she is in a hurry, so I want more." ”
Lan Xiaoxi was surprised and asked, "Sell the song to that woman?" ”
"If you have to forgive people and spare people, everyone will kneel down in public and apologize and ask for forgiveness, and if you don't forgive, those onlookers will say that we are too arrogant and can't be people." Fang Xiao praised Sasha's means of retreating, and then said: "Forget about the apology or something, we are not rare, we will ask her to pay some medical expenses to heal Yadan's injuries." ”
"100,000 yuan for recuperation." Xu pouted, looked up at the sweet-looking Jordan in the rearview mirror, and muttered in a low voice: "I knew that I would let her kick twice." ”
Fang Xiao heard it and said with a smile: "Xiao Ke, you really deserve to be a rich second generation, and you are born to be a businessman who wants money and doesn't want to die." ”
Permission to learn from him, hehehe smirked twice, and said, "I have won awards." ”
