Chapter 316: "Exaggeration"
During the release of the new album, Fang Xing and Lu Xianger have another thing to be busy with.
The rehearsal for the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games has entered the final stage, and the rehearsal with makeup has officially begun.
According to the plan of the Director's Office for the Opening Ceremony of the Olympic Games, three rehearsals were required.
The schedule was set more than a month in advance.
And this kind of performance at the national level, no matter how big-name the star, does not dare to be absent.
After the release of the new album, Fang has more time to wake up.
After all, you can participate in the activities that are advertised, you can participate in them or not.
On the third day of "Because of Love" topped the hit song chart.
The opening ceremony of the Olympic Games held the first rehearsal with makeup, Fang Xing had to participate in the rehearsal of the two programs, and Lu Xianger only needed to participate in the rehearsal of the violin concerto "Liang Zhu".
Originally, Lu Xianger wanted to wait for the two of them to finish the rehearsal before going back together, but the rehearsal of the two shows, one was arranged in the morning and the other in the afternoon.
So Fang Xing asked her to go back first after the rehearsal, without waiting.
After the afternoon rehearsal, Fang Xing came out of the venue and was caught by reporters.
With the release of the new album in high demand, coupled with attending the first rehearsal for the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, entertainment reporters have already sniffed the news breaking point.
So he stayed outside the venue early, Fang Xing was wearing a mask and a cap, but he was still caught.
Since he was caught, Fang Xing also accepted the interview generously, took over more than a dozen microphones of the reporter in front of him, and greeted him with a smile: "Hello everyone." ”
The reporters at the front began to ask questions one by one: "Fang Xing, are you here to participate in the rehearsal for the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games?" ”
Fang Xing: "Yes. ”
Reporter: "Did the rehearsal go well?" ”
Fang Xing: "It's not bad, it's going well." ”
Reporter: "But we saw that Lu Xiang'er left in the morning." If the rehearsal went well, why did you stay so late? ”
Fang Xing smiled and replied, "Isn't this obvious? It means that I have a lot of rehearsals. ”
The reporter's eyes lit up: "Do you mean that you have more than one performance in rehearsal?" Are there multiple performances to rehearse? ”
Fang Xing kept a mysterious smile: "This is confidential, I can't answer." ”
Followed by.
A reporter from another media asked a question.
The reporter was more polite, and said first: "Fang Xing, congratulations, the new album is a big hit." ”
Fang Xing: "Thank you." ”
Reporter: "After the release of "Because of Love", the popularity was very high, and it topped the hot song list in a week, what do you want to say about this? ”
Fang Xing: "Thank you fans for your love." ”
Reporter: "Tan Zhiguan's love song duet "One Life" was released for a week first, and you immediately posted "Because of Love", and you squeezed "One Life" from the first place on the hot song list.
"Excuse me, are you deliberately targeting Tan Zhiguan? Can you explain why? ”
Fang Xing thought for a moment and replied, "How could it be." I'm such a kind person. ”
I said this, but what I actually wanted to say in my heart was: I am not targeting Tan Zhiguan, but the controlling capital behind Merlin Records.
In fact.
Fang Xing chose to compete head-on with Tan Zhiguan's album schedule, which was a counterattack.
It can be regarded as a follow-up to the Dachuan audio incident.
Of course, these things will not be said in the open, those who know will naturally know, and those who don't know don't need to know.
When the reporter heard this answer, he scolded in his heart: Where are you kind?
A reporter who stirred up the news next to him couldn't stand it anymore and felt that these questions were not sharp enough, so he squeezed forward to ask:
"Fang Xing, I heard that you released a new album and intended to compete with Merlin Records, because you were angry with your girlfriend.
"Your practice of making enemies everywhere because of your girlfriend, aren't you afraid that you will eventually become the king of Zhou You and be ruined in the hands of women?"
When Fang Xing heard this question, he couldn't help but widen his eyes, and then glanced at the reporter's badge and was relieved.
Stirring news is famous for doing things, and doing news is to do big, and the more explosive the better.
Fang Xing was silent for three seconds before replying: "I just want my thoughts to be clear, and let him be flooded." ”
This answer is a bit vague, and if it is not combined with the facts, it is not even understood what is being said.
Reporter: "Do you admit this answer?" ”
Fang Xing: "I didn't say that. ”
Reporter: "So next, are you going to release the same type of song on your next new album as Merlin Records?" ”
Fang Xing: "I don't have time to care about such trivial things, the next song of the new album has already been arranged." ”
The reporter's eyes lit up and he immediately asked: "Then what type of song is next?" ”
Fang Xing: "A Cantonese song." ”
Reporter: "Can you sing a few words on the spot?" ”
Fang Xing: "No, let's wait for the song to be released before listening to it." ”
……
After this interview, the media dared to rush out the press release before 6 p.m.
A number of media outlets have released entertainment news on the front and back:
[Fang Xing participated in the all-day rehearsal of the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, and it is suspected that there was more than one rehearsal performance. 】
[Fang Xing and Lu Xianger participated in the rehearsal, but did not leave together, the reason is unknown. 】
[The singer surnamed Fang is suspected of admitting a contradiction with Merlin Records. The new album schedules collided, which was really deliberately targeted. 】
[Fang Xing said that the next song on the new album is a Cantonese song, and declared war on the opponent, will Merlin Records take the battle? 】
[Stirring news: The truth behind the fight between the immortals in the music world, Pengcheng Capital, Mailin Records, Dachuan Audio, and Ark Culture, the intricate relationship behind it. 】
Among the many news outlets, most of them report entertainment content.
Only the press release that stirs the news is very sharp, and it dares to report Pengcheng Capital in the news.
In fact.
This is not the first time that Stir News has reported such news with a large background, and it can still live well, which has shown that its background is not simple.
……
The popularity of the new album and the Olympics are superimposed, so that Fang Xing has been on the hot search for more than half a month, and he has not fallen out of the top ten.
After the news of this interview came out, it attracted a large number of melon-eating netizens:
[Finally waited, the next song is a Cantonese song.] 】
[As long as there are Cantonese songs, I bought this album.] 】
[Is the news really fake? Declared war on Cantonese songs? Do you want to take it? 】
[Is it true that the stirring news is true?] Why does it look like a conspiracy theory. 】
[Challenging capital, it's hard to say what will happen. To be honest, I like "Wulin Gaiden" a lot, and I suggest that Fang Xing should quickly find a backer. Otherwise, it will not be able to withstand the pressure of capital. 】
[Are you going too far with conspiracy theories?] If there is really capital to engage him, can he still speak? 】
[It's really hard to say, now Fang Xing still has a talisman, before the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, capital does not dare to be too blatant. But after the opening ceremony, it's hard to say. 】
[Are you overthinking capital? Fang Xing's new album has sold two million copies, which has touched the ceiling of album sales, and there is still capital to hold it down? 】
……
After a lot of hype in various entertainment media, whether the facts are true or not, the public took it seriously.
thought that Fang Xing's new album would release a Cantonese song next song, and challenged Merlin Records.
There are even a lot of musicians who ran to the official Weibo of Merlin Records to ask questions, asking if there are any Cantonese songs in Tianwang's new album and whether they dare to fight.
In fact.
In the early days of the release of the new album, Fang Xing worked hard to promote it, and after the rehearsal of the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games began, he didn't pay much attention to these things, but concentrated on participating in the rehearsal.
The next song is a Cantonese song, which is the order of the songs arranged at the beginning, and no one is challenged.
But netizens are all masters who don't think it's a big deal to watch the excitement, how can they let go of this kind of good show, and the call for Cantonese song competition is getting louder and louder.
As the topic gets hotter and hotter.
Merlin Records also had to face up to this problem and held a meeting to discuss it.
In Tan Zhiguan's new album, there is indeed a Cantonese song, but it has not been officially released.
In the previous love song duet, Merlin Records was a failure, and there was one thing that made Merlin Records even more uncomfortable.
The long-term power of "Chrysanthemum Terrace" has begun to appear, and it has been stable at the third place on the hot song list, and according to the trend of long-term popularity, it is even possible to surpass "One Life, One Couple" again.
This puts more and more pressure on Merlin Records.
Because of the appearance of the two top-notch songs "Chrysanthemum Terrace" and "Because of Love", the long-term popularity remains high, which will continue to increase the sales of the album.
In case a Cantonese song is also popular, the total sales of Tan Zhiguan's new album may also lose.
Therefore, Merlin Records held a meeting to discuss whether to use Cantonese songs to touch Fang Xing.
If they can pull back a game, Merlin Records still has hope to have the last laugh.
It's just that the senior management of Merlin Records reviewed the Cantonese songs that Fang Xing sang before.
"The Difficult Sutra", "Wedding Post Street", and "Men Should Be Self-Improvement" are fiercer than the other, in case the Cantonese songs this time are also of this level, head-on competition, they may be pressed to the ground again.
After discussion, Chen Lipeng made a decision from the perspective of a businessman: "Cantonese songs are not in a hurry, wait for Fang Xing's Cantonese songs to be released, and then make a decision after listening to the quality of this Cantonese song."
"If the quality of his Cantonese song is average, then send a Cantonese song to suppress him, and if he is not sure, he will be treated coldly."
This decision is the safest.
Because of the previous love song duet, it has been overwhelmed.
In case of being repeatedly pressed on the same type of song, the morale of the new album will be shattered.
Therefore, Chen Lipeng decided to wait until he heard this new Cantonese song before discussing whether to publish a Cantonese song competition.
……
It's the Monday of the new week.
At 12 o'clock at noon, Fang Xing's new album released the title song in Cantonese.
At the same time, Ark Culture, Songshi Records, and Radiance Entertainment released new song promotions at the same time.
Fans have formed a habit that every Monday at 12 o'clock at noon, they will run to the music app to see what new songs Fang Xing has released.
In particular, fans who have already pre-ordered the entire album want to listen to the new songs as soon as possible.
After all, the whole album was bought, and it didn't cost extra to listen to new songs, of course, it was the first time to try it.
Zeng Wenjun is one of the fans who bought the entire album.
However, he only bought the entire album a few days ago.
He is a native of Guangdong Province, works in a game company, and usually likes to listen to songs and play games.
He likes the Cantonese songs sung by Fang Xing very much, from "The Difficult Sutra" to "Wedding Post Street".
However, he belongs to the more sensible kind of fans.
I don't like a few of Fang Xing's songs, I won't buy the whole new album unconditionally.
After listening to "Chrysanthemum Terrace" before, he thought it was not bad, and he bought this song alone, but he didn't buy a few songs released later, and then he thought it was not bad because of love, so he also bought it.
Until a few days ago, seeing the publicity, the next song was a Cantonese song.
He was just starting to get a little excited.
He is a native of Guangdong Province and usually listens to a lot of Cantonese songs.
It's just that 20 years have passed since the golden age of the HK Phil.
Although there are also a few good Cantonese songs in the post-golden age, it is true that Cantonese songs have not been as prosperous as in the Golden Age.
Zeng Wenjun likes to listen to Cantonese songs, and in recent years, his favorite Cantonese songs are those sung by Fang Xing.
Therefore, when he heard that Fang Xing's new album had Cantonese songs, he was very excited.
Without waiting for the release of this Cantonese song, he bought the entire album two days in advance.
He thought that if this Cantonese song was not good, it would be regarded as paying for the previous Cantonese songs.
Monday at noon.
Zeng Wenjun was originally going to listen to it at twelve o'clock, but he had more work on Monday, and he was busy until one o'clock, so he had time to sit down and eat.
He took the people in the group today to push the game, and he was so busy on a hot day that he was sweating profusely.
At one o'clock, I found a fast food restaurant with my team and sat down to eat.
In between serving, he remembered about the new song, quickly took out his mobile phone, turned on Penguin Music, clicked in from the purchased album, and looked for the new song released today.
Fang Xing's new album has already released a few songs.
Among them, "Chrysanthemum Terrace" is the main hit of Chinese style, and "Because of Love" is the main love song.
Zeng Wenjun glanced at the list, he had seen all the previous song titles, and only one song had no song title, obviously this is the new song released today.
He looked at the title of the song and whispered it: ""Exaggerated". ”
Judging by the title of the song, it is impossible to tell what this song is singing.
He clicked on the song and started playing.
Since the people on the table are all members of his operation team, he is the team leader, so he doesn't care about what the team members think, and directly uses the binoral channel of the mobile phone to play this Cantonese song.
The melody with average sound quality came out of the mobile phone:
"When someone asks me, I will speak, but no one comes.
"I'm looking forward to it, to the point of helplessness.
"I have something to say, but I can't get ...... loaded"
Zeng Wenjun looked at the lyrics on his phone and listened carefully.
At first, I felt that the melody and lyrics of this song were somewhat unique.
Several of his colleagues in his group are also from Guangdong Province, and they can hear that this is a Cantonese song, but they have no impression of this song.
Soon, the meal was delivered.
The whole group began to eat.
Zeng Wenjun put his phone aside, continued to play the song, and then buried his head in the rice.
With the end of the main song of "Exaggeration", it enters the chorus.
"You're pompous to me
"It's just because I'm afraid
"If it's like wood or stone
"Got noticed?"
As soon as the chorus came out, the colleagues in the group felt that the song was very good.
A colleague asked, "What is this song called?" How come I've never heard of it? ”
Zeng Wenjun also felt that the chorus was starting to explode, and replied very happily: ""Exaggeration", Fang Xing's new song, was only released today. ”
"This is it. I also saw the propaganda two days ago, saying that he was going to post a Cantonese song, but I didn't have time to listen to it. The colleague answered.
After playing it once, Zeng Wenjun was not satisfied with the sound quality played by the mobile phone, so he took out the headphones and stuffed them into his ears, turned on Bluetooth and listened to it again: "This song is very good, and it is the kind that the more you listen to it, the more flavorful it becomes." Fang Xing's album is of high quality and worth the ticket price. ”
