Chapter eight hundred and ninth admiration(1/2)
Yang Jingxing was busy, and Hongxing was mainly about Dai Qing. In Tan Muwen's words, he used to yearn for fame all the time, but when he really started to become popular, he was as tired as a dog.
Tan Muwen is not all complaining. She is also a standard old person in Hongxing. Although everyone gives her some face, she is self-aware. In fact, she cannot keep up with the times. For example, the Internet is something she did not take seriously before.
.
Now, when Tan Muwen tentatively offered Dai Qing a price of 200,000 yuan for a commercial performance with the performance company, he got a surprising response from the other party. When invitations from various program groups came one after another, when there were several endorsements or image ambassadors to choose from.
Next...Tan Muwen has finally felt the power of the Internet and knows what the information age is.
What makes Tan Muwen most happy is that Dai Qing has become the image ambassador of a clothing brand. Although it is not an international high-end luxury product, it is still a relatively high-end consumption for ordinary consumers, and it finally has a status symbol.
Moreover, the bullshit snack endorsement that Dai Qing accepted in three years for a mere few hundred thousand has also expired. From now on, he no longer has to be embarrassed to see Dai Qing’s bad shape with rough printing on the biscuit packaging.
Paying thousands of dollars to an Internet celebrity is really worth it. As soon as the lip-syncing spoof video of "Qing Breeze" came out, it triggered a wave of craze. There were many spoof videos of various kinds, including "Sitting in a Well and Watching the Sky"
He also suffered. Tan Mu heard that he had gained knowledge and was happy but did not understand. Why would netizens like this kind of thing?
However, Yang Jingxing reminded Tan Muwen that the Internet has another characteristic: it comes and goes quickly, and this kind of operation can basically only be done once. It is unlikely that anyone will buy it the second time, so the most important thing now is to seize this opportunity.
Wave opportunities, spread the Internet craze to other channels, and transform it into the influence of artists as much as possible. In particular, we must beware of the embarrassing situation where a famous singer fails to become popular.
Of course, Tan Muwen is cautious. A talk show requires careful consideration, study, and study. In order to make Dai Qing look more attractive, Tan Muwen carefully read the past two years of the program and also made
I have detailed notes, various good topic points, the artist’s decent performance, wonderful interactions, entertainment forms that can attract attention... I hope it can give Dai Qing a sufficient reference.
Dai Qing's debut positioning was pure and sweet with a bit of strength, but Tan Muwen also felt that fans nowadays don't seem to accept the pure and sweet style anymore. After all, there are too many of this type. The most important thing is that Dai Qing himself is still
She is not beautiful and sweet enough to stand out, and her singing is average.
Yang Jingxing believes that another problem with previous positioning is that it was too simple, too thin, and false, and the audience was either indifferent or even disgusted by the lack of talent and forcing a sweet and pleasant appearance.
Yang Jingxing's suggestion was to be more generous and truthful. Combined with the previous publicity, Dai Qing should be more mature, but also more entertaining. This would also be a reminder for Dai Qing herself, helping her to maintain a good attitude and face it.
own career.
For example, if the host of the show asks, "Over the years, from being amazing on the talent show to being silent for a long time, and now being re-recognized by everyone, what has supported you in persisting in your dreams and never giving up?"
According to the previous positioning, Dai Qing must have thanked many people in a clear and touching manner, talked about his hardships and perseverance, and maybe even shed a few tears...
Yang Jingxing felt that this was difficult and inappropriate for Dai Qing. She was actually not a sentimental girl, and her dream was very simple. She just wanted to be a star and become famous. As for her musical ideals and concepts, she basically had zero.
Yang Jingxing believed that Dai Qing should try to answer by himself first, and then everyone would find faults and revise and correct them together... Attitude is the key. He should not hate and blame others for the past suffering, nor should he be overjoyed with the slight improvement in the present.
Tan Muwen basically agreed with Yang Jingxing's plan. Although it would be temporarily difficult to start over, it would be better for everyone in the long run, and it was not too difficult to complete Dai Qing's work.
The difference between Tan Muwen and Yang Jingxing lies in the album. Of course, the planner firmly believes in striking while the iron is hot and wants to prepare for recording as soon as possible, but Yang Jingxing is not in a hurry. In this regard, he still has a conservative view. The album should be the most important and rigorous thing for a singer.
Work should be all work serving the album, rather than the album becoming a means.
In addition to Dai Qing, Yang Jingxing also cares about Tong Yichun in Hongxing, but it is easy to worry about. Tong Yichun is completely opposite to Dai Qing. He makes his own decisions on everything, although he respects the opinions of others.
It has been half a year since the album was released, and the sales volume of more than 100,000 is quite gratifying, and it has a good reputation within and outside the industry. Yang Jingxing is deeply impressed because more and more people are asking to sing.
Tong Yichun is still in the trial stage of publicity, that is, trying to appear on TV shows, making guest appearances in concerts, and is also willing to selectively participate in some award ceremonies.
Although there are currently many awards for Chinese pop music and the momentum is huge, there are almost none worth paying attention to in the industry, because even if you win the best album or best singer award, it will not generate any data.
It's obviously a good thing. Album sales will not increase significantly, commercial performance prices will not rise, and even online audition downloads will not see any improvement.
Not long ago, Tong Yichun won the Best Female Singer in a list attended by many first-line singers, and she also helped Yang Jingxing bring back the Best Arranger Award from the backstage. However, Tong Yichun was so low-key that she didn't even treat guests to dinner, and Yang Jingxing just
There is nothing to be proud of.
When she occasionally contacted Yang Jingxing on the phone, Tong Yichun probably had some thoughts about the concert. What she was most looking forward to and caring about now was the concert, but she seemed a little guilty and scared, fearing that it would be difficult to meet her own requirements or that she would not have enough.
Good response.
Compared to Tong Yichun, Tong Lei is much more confident. She praised Yang Jingxing's arrangement for the Spring Festival Gala to the sky. Within a few days, various suggestions and ideas came again. She wanted to change or repair. Is this drum being beaten inappropriately?
, the brass seems to have taken over the spotlight again, and the lyrics still need to be modified with a few words, based on her Spring Festival Gala experience...
Compared with slightly changing the arrangement, the final compilation of "Theoretical Analysis of Ding Sangpeng's Composition Techniques" was countless times more cautious and complex, because it involved the connection, unification and coherence between the various parts of the editorial board, which can affect the whole body.
It feels like this, so the principal and the composition department don’t have summer vacation, and they are all working on this, and Yang Jingxing also has to do his meager part.
However, what Yang Jingxing currently spends the most time and thought on is the creation of symphonies, and this is what teachers are most concerned about and even worried about.
As Gong Xiaoling said, it is not that she doubts Yang Jingxing's ability, but that she is worried because she is full of hope and believes in him. For example, Yang Jingxing is still too young and the time is too short. Everyone knows that the more complex and huge the form, the harder it is to innovate...
Everyone also knows how important the first symphony is to a composer who is full of future, so Gong Xiaoling first said something ugly to Yang Jingxing. If we use technical theory to analyze it, those who have stood up to the genius of the past and present The first symphonic works of most composers with the title of master are often immature or even mediocre, and are no better than the current film scores.
Gong Xiaoling comforted Yang Jingxing by saying: "Don't compare with yourself, compare with others first..."
However, what is more stable than Yang Jingxing sitting in front of the computer every night and facing the notation software is Yuan Haonan's text messages and phone calls every six o'clock in the afternoon. Yang Jingxing ignored them for many days in a row. Until the 23rd, the content of the text messages was: I am more patient than all my friends.
When the bell rang again, Yang Jingxing answered: "I thought you weren't ready to admit it."
Yuan Haonan chuckled: "Admit what?"
Yang Jingxing learned to threaten: "Then I'll die."
"Okay then..." Yuan Haonan seemed to compromise, but what happened next was: "I'll fight again tomorrow."
Yang Jingxing couldn't figure it out at all and almost laughed angrily: "Is it interesting? Does it make sense?"
"The revolution has not yet succeeded, and it is difficult to get off the tiger." Yuan Haonan chuckled, "Then let me ask you a question."
Yang Jingxing said: "Excuse me."
Yuan Haonan continued in a gentle tone: "I remember you said that we are not familiar with each other, we have no intersection, and we can only be considered ordinary friends after meeting by chance... How did you tell?"
Yang Jingxing asked: "What did I see?"
Yuan Haonan chuckled: "Is this the turn of events?"
Yang Jingxing continued: "What do you mean?"
Yuan Haonan noticed: "It seems that you also find it fun, let's continue?"
Yang Jingxing gave up: "No, I'm just trying...it's not fun."
Yuan Haonan reminded: "You haven't answered my question yet."
Yang Jingxing said: "You have too many flaws."
Yuan Haonan was almost convinced: "You must have observed too carefully."
Yang Jingxing smiled: "It is essential to be on guard against others."
Yuan Haonan said: "I agree... Let me confirm again. Do you really see that you are pretending?"
Yang Jingxing laughed: "As soon as I asked you, I confirmed it even more."
Yuan Haonan chuckled: "Does that count as me betraying myself? How do you plan to reward the traitor who defected to you?"
Yang Jingxing said: "I am not your enemy, so I don't need a traitor."
"Really?" Yuan Haonan protracted in disbelief, "In other words, you are not angry?"
Yang Jingxing said: "No offense, if you are willing to play with me, you think you respect me. It's my honor."
Yuan Haonan was not sure: "In other words, are you willing to be played?" His tone was still soft.
Yang Jingxing said: "It's different... what I said last time we met is still valid. You can find someone else to play with."
Yuan Haonan's girlish annoyance: "I can't remember clearly. What did you say? Let's talk about it again when we meet again!"
Yang Jingxing said, "I don't have time. I'm busy. I'll hang up. Don't call me again."
Yuan Haonan was no longer leisurely, and asked, "Aren't you going to Pingjing to watch the Olympics?"
Yang Jingxing said: "I won't go."
Yuan Haonan said: "We went to watch the opening ceremony, as well as the tennis and table tennis matches."
Yang Jingxing gave his blessing: "Have fun... nothing is really more interesting than playing with me."
Yuan Haonan reluctantly said softly: "Okay, I'll try."
Yang Jingxing fully supported: "That's right, bye."
But at six o'clock in the afternoon the next day, the text message came again: I didn't find anyone more interesting than you today.
Yang Jingxing didn't answer the phone.
Early in the morning on the 26th, Lexian called Yang Jingxing. The good news was that Jeromil finally decided to include "Piano Sonata in G Major" into the rehearsal scope of the 2008-2009 music season, but there was no clear performance schedule.
.
To put it bluntly, it is a back-up repertoire with a very low priority. Generally speaking, the assistant conductor Le Xian helps the orchestra once or twice. As long as the musicians are a little familiar with the score, Yu Xinting may not have the opportunity to perform the entire song with the orchestra.
Rehearse throughout.
Le Xian also advised Yang Jingxing not to be so stubborn. Why did Yu Xinting have to perform for the first time? For Yu Xinting, she is a lucky one to get this opportunity. As such a young signed musician, she should be patient and settle down.
Wait patiently, there is no need to rush. How many people in the orchestra have been playing for decades and still not become the lead vocalist?
As a native Chinese, Lexian asked Yang Jingxing to analyze the relationship. Jeromil appreciates your talent, but does not value your status. There is a huge difference between the two.
However, if Yang Jingxing is willing to cooperate with New Ireland and perform several concertos including his own works, even if they only cooperate for one music season, it is conceivable that today next year, Yang Jingxing will be a well-known figure in the world orchestra.
Yu Xinting recommends jobs and other things, it is not easy.
Yang Jingxing was helpless. He had too many things to do, so he could only thank Lexian for his kindness.
To be continued...
