can let Wu Tong, Zhou Xiaoou and a Qin Yong come over to sell face as an inviter, Wang Xiaojing's fear of Zhou Yi's refusal can basically be said to be written on his face.

In fact, Wu Tong and the others didn't know if Zhou Yi would agree, but they just said that they had been rehearsing every three or five times since this month, and the relationship with Zhou Yi was not very good, at least it could be called okay.

After all, since Zhou Yi's debut, the musicians who are more familiar with him are basically young musicians from Taiwan, like Xiao Yaxuan, Zhang Shaohan, Zhou Jielun and the like.

There are only a few people in the mainland entertainment industry who can talk to Zhou Yi , such as Zhou Xun, Fan Bingbin, Chen Hao, Lu Yi, etc., and they are all actors.

It stands to reason that Warner still has a Wang Feng who went out from Baojia Street, but Wang Feng is said to have seen Zhou Yi since he entered Warner, and he can't wipe this mouth.

Therefore, due to Wang Xiaojing's status and reputation in the domestic rock circle and even the music circle, they still decided to help if they could.

Especially Wu Tong.

As a top student who graduated from the Department of Folk Music of CCTV, although he now plays rock and roll and has formed a reincarnation band, he still has a sincere feeling for Chinese folk music in his heart.

Because what Wang Xiaojing is doing now is exactly what is giving new life to Chinese folk music.

"Women's Twelve Orchestra, I heard Chen Hao say it before, she said that there is a new folk music group called this name, and I went to Renyi to talk about the singing venue before, but I didn't talk about it?"

After thinking for a moment, Zhou Yi still accepted the business card, agreed to the invitation, and teased: "Mr. Wang shouldn't want to take a roundabout route through me to go to the Renyi Theater to schedule shifts, right?" I don't have that much face. ”

"That shouldn't be possible, as far as I know, Lao Wang has already found a theater venue for the next round of performances."

Seeing Zhou Yi giving face like this, Wu Tong was also relieved, and responded with a smile: "The main thing is that I think it may be that the music ideas between you are very compatible, and he thinks he has probably found a soulmate." ”

He watched the rehearsal of "Yellow Race", and also bought Zhou Yi's two albums and one EP, Zhou Yi's idea of introducing Chinese elements into his album and Wang Xiaojing's idea of creating the Twelve Women's Orchestra can be said to be different routes but the same purpose.

Zhou Yi's "Flower Field Mistake", "Susan Said", "East Wind Breaking", "In the Plum Side", and "West Chamber" are essentially foreign for Chinese use, based on Western R&B, Hiphop and other genres, supplemented by traditional Chinese elements, to achieve a refreshing feeling, and at the same time can promote traditional Chinese elements with the finishing touch;

The creative concept of the 12 Women's Orchestra founded by Wang Xiaojing is based on Chinese folk music, embellished with Western music elements, and integrates traditional folk music instruments with Western music to give new life to traditional Chinese folk music.

In terms of the essence of music, Wang Xiaojing's concept is also above the new generation of musicians such as Tao Zhe, Wang Leehom, and Zhou Jielun.

What belongs to the nation is what belongs to the world, this sentence is not just talking.

To be honest, this person would actually use his connections to find him, Zhou Yi was surprised in his heart.

Zhou Yi doesn't know much about Wang Xiaojing's past experience, only that he is very old and has a very high status in the domestic music circle-

Chen Lin, Luo Qi, Jiang Shan and others were all brought out by him, and even Cui Jian was pulled out by him to become popular.

He is a veteran musician who is recognized even by the Japanese side and has an advanced music production concept.

If I remember correctly, the women's 12 orchestra brought out by Wang Xiaojing will rely on the rejuvenated Chinese folk music to first kill in the Japanese music scene, and the first album will enter the million-sales club of the Japanese music scene-

Later, it really hit the European and American markets, attracting a group of gringos, instead of holding a concert, 100% of them are Chinese or Chinese to make up the numbers, known as the world tour.

In terms of honors, although there are only two qualifications shortlisted for the Grammy Awards, it is enough to kill a group of people who are constantly looking down, and he is the only pure Chinese artist who has actually entered the top 100 of the US B list.

Although many people will say that Wang Xiaojing can make the women's 12 bands so successful because there are people behind them pushing hard at the beginning, it is undeniable that the women's 12 bands were able to catch and play successfully in their peak, this is the strength.

After the first batch of members of the Twelve Women's Bands withdrew one after another for various reasons, the second-generation troupe, which was unable to succeed, made a group of cultural moths and folk news kneeling people shake up again and began to criticize and suppress them vigorously.

If Zhou Yi hadn't learned about the development history of folk music when his ex-girlfriend was following the trend and learning guzheng in his last life, he really didn't know that there was such a true god group in the mainland at the beginning of the millennium.

And now, such a big guy is looking for himself so aggressively......

After the press conference of the Sino-Korean Song Club, Zhou Yi, who had spoken to Qianjiang, followed Wu Tong and the three of them to an authentic old BJ alley, where he saw Wang Xiaojing in a private kitchen with a slightly old signboard, but after entering, there was a cave.

The eyes are a little small, wearing glasses, the hair is very dense and a little long, just looking a bit like Zheng Qiang that Zhou Yi had seen when he was listening to lectures in school in his previous life.

Of course, Zheng Qiang's hair is not as much as him, not as long as him, but not as lush as him.

"Hello Zhou Yi, first time we met, I'm Wang Xiaojing."

Seeing people coming, Zheng-Wang Xiaojing got up, smiled and stretched out his hand to say hello.

"Hello Brother Wang, you're welcome."

As soon as Zhou Yi sat down after shaking hands, an obviously excited waiter rushed over to hand him the menu, serve tea and water, and even asked for an autograph.

"The waiters here have even seen Liu Huan and Mao Ning, and it's been a long time since a celebrity has come over to make them excited to sign autographs."

Wang Xiaojing happily handed Zhou Yi a cigarette: "Do you smoke?" ”

"No, I don't smoke."

"It's good not to smoke, it's right to protect your body functions." I don't know who I was ordering, Wang Xiaojing looked at Zhou Yi with admiration in his eyes.

Wu Tong, who was smiling, took the lead in saying goodbye and then slipped away, and Zhou Xiaoou and Qin Yong hurriedly said goodbye when they saw this.

Zhou Yi, who took a sip of tea, put down the teacup and said with a chuckle: "Brother Wang, you seem to have scared everyone away?" ”

"They're quite self-conscious."

Seeing that Zhou Yi didn't seem to be as unapproachable as rumored in the circle, the smile stacked on the wrinkles at the corners of Wang Xiaojing's eyes deepened: "What to eat?" Let's talk while eating? ”

"You're welcome, Brother Wang, I'm a junior, you can order it, I can do it for any taste." Zhou Yi was very modest and kicked the ball back.

"Is that so...... Wang Xiaojing's eyes narrowed slightly, his expression remained unchanged, and after ordering a few dishes, he gave the menu to Zhou Yi: "Come, you can see what else you want to add." ”

Braised pork, stir-fried pork with chili peppers, and mutton soup are all meat at a glance.

Zhou Yi's eyebrows jumped slightly, and he said happily: "Brother Wang, there are only two of us, there is no need to order so much." ”

"The meat here is very delicious, and the weather is getting colder, eat some meat to make up for it, the mutton soup here is a must."

“…… Yes, if you say that, then I have to taste it to see how delicious it is, so that Brother Wang, you, the old Jianghu, can recommend it so. ”

Zhou Yi, who casually hooked spinach, cabbage and sweet potato leaves, handed the menu back to Wang Xiaojing with a smile, and the smile on the latter's face suddenly relaxed.

After handing over the menu to the waiter after pressing the bell, Wang Xiaojing began to gossip: "I have long heard that there is a genius in the mainland who can walk sideways in the Asian music scene, and he can sell crazy in the Japanese music scene, and his popularity even exceeds that of the four kings of Hong Kong......"

Zhou Yi, who was drinking tea, chatted with Wang Xiaojing like this, and after waiting for all the dishes to be served, he saw Wang Xiaojing, who had picked up a chopstick sweet potato leaf with rice, and then entered the topic-

"Brother Zhou Yi, to tell you the truth, I have played a lot of music genres over the years, but after playing around, I found that whether it is rock or R&B, what I like the most and have the most feelings in my heart is the music form with our own characteristics.

"To this end, I spent four whole years looking for people, cultivating people, and then putting them together into a folk music group, with the intention of using our folk music as the basis and blending Western music elements to give new life to folk music.

"But now, I have a problem.

"I know a lot of people, but many people are not optimistic about my project, they think that my idea is nonsense, and it is tarnishing folk music.

"I thought I might be on the wrong path until I heard your music. Although you have taken a different path than mine, I think we should end up on the same path, and I think you should understand me......"

Seeing that Zhou Yi's chopsticks didn't move, Wang Xiaojing took a deep breath and told everything-

In a word: lack of money, lack of channels.

Don't think that he Wang Xiaojing is not short of money, it is just that relative to individuals, it takes a lot of money from a company to launch a multi-person group combination.

No matter how powerful the person behind it is, at most he can only help him, a newly established folk music group, to appear on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala.

In the case of general disapproval from the outside world, the capital chain is too tight, and he has also found Renyi for the performance effect and more ticket sales, but no one on Renyi's side is optimistic about this project.

Originally, he gritted his teeth and held on, until he heard Zhou Yi's album and the "Yellow Race" he heard when he came to watch the rehearsal of the Spring Festival Gala of the Women's Twelve Orchestra last time.

The melodious flute solo attracted him almost immediately, after all, he was the main performer of folk music. Subsequently, I saw Zhou Yi singing "Yellow Race" in the rehearsal area of the Sino-Korean Song Club.

Combined with Zhou Yi's past albums, he feels that Zhou Yi should be able to understand his own mind.

Everyone is contributing to the promotion of Chinese elements in music, and they should be able to talk together.

Zhou Yi has money, the connections he needs, and Japanese channels.

Now that the Women's Twelve Orchestra has not officially begun to test the waters, no one wants to find a backer for his team more than Wang Xiaojing.

"There is no pure music market in China, and my target is Japan.

"One reason is that the Japanese music market is big enough, much larger than in China; Second, the Japanese cultural market used to be a member of the Chinese cultural circle, and I think pure music folk music will be more popular than the domestic market.

"But the problem is, I can't find someone of my own to help me bring it in the Japanese music scene, until you are born."

Wang Xiaojing is very honest, and he has all of them.

Zhou Yi's popularity in Japan has become higher and higher over time, so high that fans of Ming Mingyu Tada Hikaru have been scolding him for touching porcelain and scolding Warner Japan for being inappropriate, but Zhou Yi has become more popular.

If this continues, Warner will definitely hold a singing club or even a concert for Zhou Yi in Japan next year.

His idea is also very simple, when the time comes, ask Zhou Yi to help take the women's twelve orchestras to brush their faces in Japan in advance, introduce them, and sing together to accumulate popularity.

is even willing to give part of his company's investment dividend share of the Women's Twelve Orchestra, giving Zhou Yi a palpable hope.

If you can, it's best to sign a contract with Warner Japan through the introduction of Zhou Yi, the prince of the country, so that no one will cover it.

Of course, there is a more important point -

"Zhou Yi, you are doing this year's Spring Festival Gala - oh, no, according to the time, it should be next year's Spring Festival Gala. You're rehearsing for next year's Spring Festival Gala, right? ”

Looking at Zhou Yi, who still hadn't eaten a bite of meat, Wang Xiaojing gritted his teeth: "I have a quota for chorus here, which is a quota for singing with a female singer in the Spring Festival Gala."

"I won't tell you the truth, this year's rehearsal of the Twelve Women's Orchestra is a formality, and they will actually sing with the female singer.

"If you want, then we can make an exchange, and I can exchange the place in the Twelve Women's Orchestra to you."

"Chorus?"

"Yes, it's the song "Friends" that is sung, not Zhou Huajian's."

“……？”

Zhou Yi, who took a bite of cabbage, was stunned.

"Friends"?

Damn?! Awesome!

I never expected that Wang Xiaojing would be able to give up this opportunity, and Zhou Yi was really shocked this time.

But also, at present, he alone can see the future.

"Brother Wang, my singing skills, you threw me to the edge of the ranks of singers, and it was a little bit stumbling on me."

Zhou Yi, who was still calm in his heart, smiled bitterly: "I can't hide it, I thought at the beginning that if the chorus was a big deal, I would sing with Sun Yanzi, at least the gap between our singing skills would not be obvious at a glance." ”

"Singing skills can be exercised, in the future, if you still encounter any trouble in the imperial capital, come to me directly, if I am not in the country, you can go directly to Cui Jian."

Seeing that Zhou Yi had a relaxed posture, Wang Xiaojing suddenly stepped up his offensive and made another promise to go out.

"What's so embarrassing about this, Brother Wang......"

Pushing and pulling, Zhou Yi directly put the chopsticks on the plate of fried meat with chili peppers, and after eating a bite of meat, he praised Wang Xiaojing as the vision of the old rivers and lakes.

Both of the people, who were laughing wildly in their hearts, had a satisfied smile on their faces after eating meat.

At the same time, Renyi.

Chen Hao, who was about to go to the cafeteria to eat, received a call from Zhou Yi -

"Chen Hao, come to life. I've pulled an investment for you, the general manager, come quickly. ”

PS: I never expected my business trip to end like this.

Good guy, the small hospital, the small clinic and the medicine are all gone, and I packed up with my colleagues and went back to Guangzhou, and went back to each house to find my mother and start lying down.

PS2: Just looking for a big backer, don't say anything above the red line in the intermediate, I don't want to be removed yet.

In the future, it will be OK to know that there is such a backer, and I will not write more about it.
