Chapter 257 Xu Kong is a cheater
"I really don't know why Xinxin suddenly ignored me."
"Director Xu, you must help me!"
Xu Kong drank water calmly while listening to Yan Jiaheng complaining to him.
Of course, he had actually heard a conversation between the two that night.
At this time, I can only express my helplessness.
The main reason is that he is unlikely to confess that he was staying with Shang Yuxin at that time.
And for some reason, Yan Jiaheng recognized him, and he had always taken the initiative to ask him for help.
Perhaps it's because Shang Yuxin has always had a good relationship with Xu Kong, which looks good to the outside world.
Moreover, as soon as Shang Yuxin came to the company, she always went to the post-editing and production room of "Sweet Honey".
Under such circumstances, although no one knows the specific relationship between the two, it is certain that they will get close.
……
As time goes by, the Spring Festival holiday is over, and more and more people are returning to Beijing.
The most obvious thing is that the traffic volume has increased.
In addition, the people who came back to work from Fengge headquarters also made the company building lively.
But for Xu Kong, it actually doesn't feel that big.
After all, I still spend most of my time in the editing room or my own personal studio.
It's just obvious that the number of newcomers within Fengge is increasing.
When Xu Kong first came here, he could still see one or two familiar faces from time to time. Although they were not so-called superstars, some second- and third-tier actors under Fengge were still relatively common.
Nowadays, there are almost no old people left.
Of course, there are too many artists under Feng Ge, and most of them stay on set filming all year round.
It is normal not to see him at the company during normal times.
Xu Kong doesn't have much energy to pay attention to the specific situation at the moment.
Now that Song Fuquan already knows, there is no need for artists under his banner to worry too much.
……
"The current situation is a bit special. Your song "Blue and White Porcelain" has thrown the entire Chinese music world into chaos..."
Zhu Yu said her analysis.
Although it has been a long time since the Spring Festival Gala.
But Xu Kong's song "Blue and White Porcelain" and the so-called Chinese-style song type have completely plunged the entire Chinese music scene into a terrifying atmosphere of research and discussion.
Not to mention, although it has been less than half a month, some songwriters have indeed begun to try to create what Xu Kong calls the Chinese style.
There are really a lot of finished songs released, but compared with Xu Kong's "Blue and White Porcelain", the completion of lyrics, music, and arrangement is not on the same level.
It’s more of an experimental piece like that.
And the whole song has some similar styles that can be seen in "Blue and White Porcelain".
There is no other way. In the absence of other reference cases, the first thing everyone naturally considers is to compare it with Xu Kong's "Blue and White Porcelain".
The second is whether the so-called "three ancients and three new" requirements are met.
……
"The main public opinion now is still about the Chinese style you mentioned on the Spring Festival Gala. Many people think you just happened to write a song."
“But many people don’t agree with those standards of Chinese style.”
Zhu Yu didn't think this was a big public opinion crisis.
But the discussion was indeed quite lively.
What was said the most was that if Xu Kong wrote another Chinese-style song, he probably wouldn't be able to meet his previous so-called standards.
"I know."
Xu Kong indeed doesn't have much time to pay attention to these public opinions on the Internet recently.
However, at this time, those peers or so-called music critics on the Internet are questioning whether Chinese style is really a new song type.
Or is it just that Xu Kong himself made up the style of music based on an inspired work, "Blue and White Porcelain".
There is no way, mainly because the name Huaxia Feng really cannot help but attract attention.
But before the Spring Festival Gala was broadcast, no one had even heard of similar statements, and there were very few or even no similar music styles.
Xu Kong suddenly released such a big bomb, which would definitely not be accepted in a short period of time.
Moreover, there have been almost no trailers or experimental works leaked before. It is difficult to make people think whether a new popular genre has really appeared, or whether it is just a relatively uncommon new song given by Xu Kong, and the title is imposed on it. , and also chose a name that was deliberately eye-catching like "Chinese style".
……
However, from the beginning, Xu Kong did not expect that just by singing "Blue and White Porcelain", the public would be able to fully recognize the existence of "Chinese style".
So he wasn't too worried at all at this time.
"Sister Yu, won't "Singer" be resumed in a while?"
"You can break the news now. I will sing a new Chinese-style song on the latest episode of the show."
Xu Kong thought for a while and felt that it was no big deal to release the news in advance.
So he took the initiative to mention it.
"Singing on the "Singer" show?"
Zhu Yu didn't expect that Xu Kong would have such thoughts.
But now for Xu Kong, the best response is actually to come up with a new Chinese-style song.
"Singer" is indeed a good stage choice.
The main reason is that "Singer" started relatively late last year, and Wu Youxue only returned to Mango in the second half of the year, got a promotion, and accumulated a lot of things at the same time.
In the past, the Spring Festival also came relatively early, in January.
Therefore, "Singer" has not yet finished broadcasting. As the Spring Festival approaches, Wu Youxue decisively suspended the program "Singer".
The time for re-broadcasting has changed to after returning from the Chinese New Year.
This is obviously a wiser choice.
Whether it is the Spring Festival Gala or the Spring Festival holiday, even if "Singer" insists on airing, the effect will probably not be very good.
What's more important is that even if she doesn't attend the official Spring Festival Gala, she still has invitations from various local TV stations.
The guests on the "Singer" program will receive many invitations more or less.
This is the case for Xu Kong. Although he ended up going to the official Spring Festival Gala, in fact, Mango and other local channels sent invitations.
And the time is much earlier than the Spring Festival Gala.
There is no way around it. Throughout last year, Xu Kong was indeed the artist with the fastest rise in popularity and popularity. Coupled with Xu Kong's identity as a songwriter and singer, it is normal for him to become a hot favorite among various companies.
However, the local TV station’s Spring Festival Gala will definitely not attract too much attention. Even the broadcast time has to be staggered by the official side. On New Year's Eve, the official station's Spring Festival Gala is still broadcast.
So Xu Kong almost refused at that time, feeling that there was no big need to participate.
As for the program team of "Singer", Wu Youxue is also very decisive.
Instead of going through the trouble of coordinating schedules, it would be better to simply suspend the show for a period of time.
……
Zhu Yu was also very efficient, after coordinating the specific announcement time with "Singer".
Soon after the official Weibo of "Singer" announced the resumption of broadcast, Xu Kong's personal Weibo was also updated at the same time. When forwarding the news of "Singer" resumption, he directly announced that he would sing a new song in the next competition, and It is still the most discussed "Chinese style" recently.
As expected, this news directly caused a stir among netizens online.
Even the fact that Xu Kong plans to sing a new Chinese style song is even more discussed than the rerun of "Singer" itself.
What everyone talks about the most recently is nothing more than the so-called Chinese style that Xu Kong said, which he derived based on his own song "Blue and White Porcelain". Strictly speaking, it is just a simple song and cannot support a so-called new pop trend. New types and styles of songs.
Such discussions have actually occurred frequently since the end of the Spring Festival Gala.
Everyone also knows that in fact, the best way for Xu Kong to prove his success is to release a new song.
But maybe it’s because Xu Kong not only has no plans to release new songs, but also has almost no specific responses.
Under such a premise, the group of Xu Kong's anti-fans, or the so-called musicians who wrote ancient songs, as well as all kinds of complex sunspots, continued to set the rhythm without any scruples.
Some people even said that it is almost impossible for Xu Kong to write another song like "Blue and White Porcelain".
At this moment, as "Singer" resumes airing, Xu Kong seems to be just giving a normal preview of the show he is participating in.
It can be regarded as a complete break from the original trend of public opinion.
……
"Finally, I waited, so I said with Xu Kong's character, how could he not have any reaction at all."
"Chinese style is indeed a new style of contemporary pop music that is worth studying. In fact, even if there is only one song "Blue and White Porcelain", Xu Kong's identity as the founder cannot be escaped. This is just because currently, except for Xu Kong, other musicians It’s too late to start, and it’s normal to have no idea.”
"I don't think that even if Xu Kong really writes a new Chinese-style song, it will be able to reach the level of "Blue and White Porcelain", and it may not even meet the standards of three ancients and three new that he himself said."
Various discussions on the Internet show no signs of stopping.
On the contrary, because Xu Kong took the initiative to preview the new song this time, the trend has become more and more intense.
No way, the matter of Chinese style has completely become the most discussed topic in the entire Chinese music scene from the end of the Spring Festival Gala to now.
There are many so-called professional songwriters and singers who end up speaking out.
There are almost countless people who have been paying attention secretly.
Xu Kong had only explained what Chinese style was when chatting with the host on the Spring Festival Gala stage.
There was almost no response after that.
This has led to discussions and collisions between different viewpoints, or trolls, and cross-talk is rampant.
Strictly speaking, in this era, such large-scale music discussions are quite rare.
But if the main leader Xu Kong doesn’t come to an end, no one can convince anyone.
In the end, it turned into a war of words with completely different purposes.
Therefore, the attention of the rerun of "Singer" is expected to be unprecedentedly high.
Quite a few songwriters, producers, and even professional singers in the industry will pay close attention to this program, or to Xu Kong's new Chinese style song.
……
"You mean, even Xu Kong himself can't write a new song of Chinese style?"
At this time, Jiying Media, the company that has paid the most attention to Chinese style during this period of time, is probably the company with the largest number of singers in the industry and the largest scale of the music industry.
Xu Yaqin has been paying attention to relevant news almost all the time.
In particular, there are so many self-proclaimed Chinese-style songs emerging, many of which are written by independent musicians.
It can be said that the popularity is not low, and even some of the songs that many uploaders in the music section of Bilibili try to write by themselves often have three to four million plays.
Although the quality of the song itself has not received much recognition, we can still see some potential in it.
She also took this opportunity to discover several new people with creative talents.
There are also some so-called Chinese-style song clips on short video platforms, which are more popular, but they are actually suspected of being tricky.
Some are not even a complete songwriting.
At most, it's an imitation of "Blue and White Porcelain", and it's also an imitation of something completely different. The melody is not particular, and the lyrics are incomprehensible.
But because of communication science, it is popular.
Strictly speaking, these people are not without commercial value.
But for a company as big as Jiying Media, it is not an MCN internet celebrity organization, so there is really no need to have too much contact.
……
Guo Min shook his head.
"It's not that Xu Kong can't write Chinese-style songs anymore. What I mean is that even for Xu Kong himself, it's really difficult to come up with another Chinese-style song that can match the quality of "Blue and White Porcelain". ”
"I personally feel that it is almost unrealistic."
As a songwriter who has been writing pop songs for most of his life, Guo Min certainly has his own basis for judgment.
It was because I didn’t study it properly before.
But with the popularity of "Blue and White Porcelain", Guo Min also tried to write it himself, and at the same time communicated with some friends in the circle.
They all confirmed one thing, that is, the Chinese style that Xu Kong mentioned, although the inspiration for creation may have appeared in his mind very early.
But the song "Blue and White Porcelain" is most likely an inspired work that is unlikely to be reproduced or reproduced.
The key is that there have been almost no experimental works before, and to come up with a song with such a high level of completion all at once is really hard not to think that way.
Even if Xu Kong is really a genius, the first finished song he wrote while getting along with a new creative style is almost at the peak level of this genre, right?
That's right, it's the pinnacle level.
After this period of research and discussion on the so-called Chinese style, and after I started to try to create.
Guo Min has the same idea as many songwriters in the industry. Even though there will still be many Chinese-style songs in the future, with the quality of "Blue and White Porcelain", it is definitely a masterpiece and leader in this genre.
How did Xu Kong do it?
The only explanation can only be that the article is made by nature, and it is a masterstroke.
After hearing Guo Min's words, Xu Yaqin breathed a sigh of relief. There was no way, now it was indeed impossible for them and Xu Kong to be in the same camp.
Guo Min's speculation is indeed logical, and Xu Kong is not a so-called genius.
But he wouldn't have thought that Xu Kong was a cheater...
