The King of Crossover Entertainment.

Chapter 386 0386, the program was cancelled

Most of the people who follow the official WeChat circle of the Chinese Musicians Association are musicians, music critics, or music lovers. In fact, ordinary people don’t pay much attention to it.

This also leads to a phenomenon that although it is an official organization, its information coverage is narrow and the speed of dissemination is relatively slow.

but.

Liu Zhi's music review of the song "A Man Should Be Self-reliant" was reposted by many big Vs, music critics with millions of fans, and musicians with tens of millions of fans.

This is not the most amazing thing.

Qingtuan reposted the comment on the official WeChat circle:
[Time flies by us, cold and calm, ordinary and monotonous. It can easily slip away in a hurry while some people are in a daze, never to return. The firmness of not looking back and the stubbornness of not retreating have caused many people to sigh "If you don't study hard when you are young, you will regret it too late when you are old", and also led to many talented people who "hang their heads on the beams and pierce their legs with awls".

God rewards hard work, and that will never change! 】

For the first time, a popular song was reposted and commented on by a number of official media including the Youth League, CCTV, and Radio, Film and Television.

What a privilege!
It also shows that the spirit conveyed by the song "A Man Should Be Self-reliant" has been officially recognized.

One pass ten, ten pass a hundred.

The song "A Man Should Be Self-reliant", which had already received rave reviews and was well-liked, welcomed wave after wave of new listeners.

The symmetrical beauty of the lyrics, the corresponding beauty of the melody, the majestic beauty of the accompaniment, and the contrasting beauty of the strength bring a sense of majestic momentum and broad-mindedness that catches the ears and touches the heart.

For a while.

The purchase and download volume of the song "A Man Should Be Self-reliant" skyrocketed, as if it had taken off a rocket. In just one morning, it successfully broke through the five million mark.

Let’s take a look at the new song popularity chart.

1. Feng Zhe, "A Man Should Be Self-reliant", popularity 5002101 (on Youxianqi FM), from Yuntang Music Studio.

2. Zhou Ruilin, "Stars", popularity 2666210 (Panda Music), from Panda Entertainment.

3. Yang An, "The Tenderness of the Past", popularity 2655055 (Penguin Music), from Penguin Entertainment.

4. Liu Runze, "Summer in the Story", popularity 2023313 (Penguin Music), from Huahai Entertainment.

5. Liu Jinyao, "Sweetness of Love", popularity 1041219 (Penguin Music), from Penguin Entertainment.

……

The original popularity gap of 100,000 turned into an advantage of more than 2 million in a blink of an eye.

It can be seen how terrible the propaganda effect of the official media is.

The first place suddenly changed hands, and its popularity was nearly twice that of the second and third places, which shocked many people.

This is called a newcomer?

Is this a chance to compete for the championship?
Doesn't this mean you don't know the result until the last minute?

Netizens were gobsmacked.

"Good guy, I call you good guy!"

"It has been favored by the authorities, and its popularity has skyrocketed. Is there any suspense?"

“Will “A Man Should Be Self-reliant” become the song that reaches 10 million downloads the fastest?”

"Isn't it a bit of an over-interpretation? The song is good, but not to the point of being out of this world."

"I can only say that the timing of the release was well chosen. The cultural industry has been vigorously developed in recent years."

"Yang An's undefeated myth is about to be broken!"

"It seems to be true. Yang An has won the championship in various charts since his debut."

"People don't always win, nor do they always lose. It's not that Yang An is not strong enough, but that Yun Feng is too strong."

"You know, Yunfeng didn't play in person."

"That's true. And he defeated a superstar singer with just one song and a newcomer. How can it be described in one word 'awesome'!"

……

The sudden music reviews from big names, the sudden publicity from official media, the sudden surge in popularity, everything happened too fast.

Whether it was Feng Zhe or all the singers participating in the chart, they were all stunned when they heard the news, and even suspected that it was a joke. It was no longer a question of whether it was true or not, but it was too fantastic.

"Ugh……"

This was the nth time Zhou Ruilin had sighed. He grabbed his hair fiercely and said, "Tell me this is not true."

His defense was broken. Even though he was mentally prepared to lose, he was still broken. It was too fast and too outrageous. He didn't have any room to react.

The agent was also caught off guard. Who could have thought that the official media would recommend a pop song? He was about to open his mouth to comfort him and tell him to be more positive, but the words did not come out.

I have been with him for so many years and I am the person who understands him the best. The pain in my heart at this moment cannot be soothed by just a few words.

After a long silence, the agent said, "This is not your problem, nor is it the song's problem. It's the times that make heroes. Yunfeng, Feng Zhe, and "A Man Should Be Self-reliant" caught up with the times..."

Zhou Ruilin smiled bitterly and said, "I accept my fate!"

The manager said hurriedly, "Success or failure does not determine a hero. One or two wins and losses do not mean much. Besides, there is more than one way to become a superstar. There are more important ones to come, such as the Jade Solid Gold Awards and the World Chinese Music Chart. You can't just give up like this."

He didn't want Zhou Ruilin to become decadent or even unable to recover.

Yes.

What is the new song popularity chart?
It's just an award without any authoritative certification, so why bother about it too much?

Zhou Ruilin's dull eyes suddenly lit up, and he said, "I'm going all out to prepare for the Jade Solid Gold Awards and the World Chinese Music Chart. I still don't believe it. I, Zhou Ruilin, am destined to lose all the time."

The agent secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Leave the company to me. I will definitely get you another song by Yuan Wenhe."

Yang An and Liu Runze's reactions were similar to Zhou Ruilin's, surprised and helpless.

What else can we do if no other advertising is as effective as official media’s?
at the same time.

Feng Zhe held the phone in a daze, his eyes wide open, still unable to believe it, and said, "Brother Chen, am I dreaming?"

Chen Cheng smiled and said, "You have asked me this more than eight hundred times, more than eight hundred times!"

Feng Zhe scratched the back of his head and said sheepishly, "I'm sorry, Brother Chen."

Chen Cheng had the same reaction at first, thinking it was unreal and how could it happen. Fortunately, he had experienced many storms and adjusted himself quickly.

He knew about Yunfeng's comic and song linkage plan, and had roughly calculated the impact on popularity. At most, it would bring the popularity to the same level as Zhou Ruilin, Yang An, and Liu Runze, and it would not determine the final outcome.

When I opened the charts this morning, I saw that the popularity of Feng Zhe's "A Man Should Be Self-reliant" seemed to have skyrocketed!
He soon surpassed Zhou Ruilin, Yang An and Liu Runze, rushed to the first place, and continued to expand his advantage.

Ten thousand...

One hundred thousand...

one million……

……

It wasn’t until the popularity exceeded five million that the growth rate slowed down, and the lead had reached more than two million.

No one can believe such a huge change that happened in a short period of time.

"I..." Feng Zhe swallowed his saliva, the surprise on his face still not fading, muttering: "I really defeated Zhou Ruilin, Yang An, Liu Runze and others!"

Judging from the new song popularity charts in previous years, the final popularity of the champion will be around 10 million.

According to the current momentum of the song "A Man Should Be Self-reliant", it can lock in the championship in advance without waiting for the chart deadline. Chen Cheng narrowed his eyes slightly, and a person emerged in his mind.

Five years ago, he had coached a newcomer who was blessed by God. His debut album sold very well, but after seeing some praise from the outside world, the newcomer became so arrogant that he lost his way. He spent all kinds of time drinking and partying, and even made his voice hoarse. As a result, he had problems speaking, let alone singing.

It is okay for young people to be excited and thrilled when they achieve something, and even to show off, but they must not be proud.

He didn't want Feng Zhe to repeat the mistakes of the newcomer, so he said, "Feng Zhe, you may have heard some of these words, and you may not like to hear them, but I still want to remind you that a proud person will always end up destroying himself in his pride."

These words seemed to drip a few drops of cold water on Feng Zhe's hot heart. They did not extinguish his excitement and agitation, but instead made him see the "arrogance" that was about to spread.

Pride and complacency is a terrible trap, and this trap is often dug by one's own hands.

He humbly accepted the guidance of others to be good, nodded vigorously, and said, "Brother Chen, I understand."

At this time, Yunfeng had not yet learned the news. He was accompanying Tang Yu in the Yanjing Huashi Building for the first rehearsal of the Spring Festival Gala.

"Mr. Yun, will you create horror works again?"

"Your duet of "Because of Love" is so beautiful."

"Uncle Yunfeng, I really like the fairy tales you wrote."

"When will the final chapter of the 'Legend' series be released?"

"Mr. Yun, can the Four be updated soon?"

……

Yunfeng got a work badge as Tang Yu's assistant and was able to enter the backstage.

His appearance caused quite a stir. You know, there were many big-name stars in this year's Spring Festival Gala, but he was the one who became the object of competition for photos, autographs, and questions.

He accepts all comers.

With the staff's reminder, the backstage became much quieter.

"Hello, Mr. Yun."

Yunfeng had just taken out his cell phone to surf the Internet when he heard a rather charming voice. He looked up and saw a middle-aged man approaching him. He was an acquaintance. He immediately stood up and said, "Hello."

This middle-aged man is Zhang Yuchen, who plays the role of Dao Ma in the online drama and movie "The Dart Man".

Seeing the real person up close is actually not much different from what he appears on the screen. His appearance has Western bone structure and Eastern charm, and he exudes a hint of coolness, like a bottle of mellow wine that is worth savoring as it ages.

Zhang Yuchen smiled slightly and said, "I never had the chance to thank you for letting me play the role of Dao Ma."

Yunfeng said politely: "You don't need to thank me, it's you who made the sword and horse."

"No, no, no, it was Dao Ma that made me who I am." Zhang Yuchen waved his hands repeatedly and said, "I have been acting for more than ten years and have played countless roles, but only Dao Ma makes me feel like I am playing myself. It's very natural, comfortable, and real."

Yunfeng could sense his sincerity, but there was no need to dwell on this matter, so he changed the subject without leaving a trace: "What is your program for this year's Spring Festival Gala?"

Zhang Yuchen answered truthfully: "Performing martial arts with students from the martial arts school."

Yunfeng guessed this was also the case, a program that appears in the Spring Festival Gala almost every year.

Zhang Yuchen asked curiously, "Which song of yours can I hear on this year's Spring Festival Gala?"

Yunfeng smiled and said, "I didn't go this year. It was my girlfriend."

Zhang Yuchen was stunned and said, "How could that be? Your ability and song are more than enough for the Spring Festival Gala."

Yunfeng said calmly: "Let it be."

After chatting for a while, a staff member ran over and told Zhang Yuchen to get ready to go on stage.

"Then I'll go to rehearsal first." Zhang Yuchen said to Yunfeng, "See you at Yanjing Hotel tonight."

Yunfeng nodded and smiled, "Okay, go ahead and get busy."

He did not refuse Zhang Yuchen's invitation. The more contact he had, the easier it would be for him to speak up if there was anything.

what's up?

Of course it’s acting. Their Legendary Film and Television Company will produce many film and television dramas in the future.

As soon as Zhang Yuchen left, Tang Yu came back.

The red dress she wore today was specially customized for the Spring Festival Gala. Even in the backstage full of red, she was particularly eye-catching. Paired with a retro hairstyle, silver earrings and high heels, it was a change from her previous youthful girlish looks. This time she looked like a queen.

But she had a sad look on her face.

Yunfeng asked, "What's wrong?"

Tang Yu replied: "My show might be cancelled."

It is not easy to pass the layers of selection for the Spring Festival Gala.

During every rehearsal, some programs will be cancelled, for example, the selected songs are not suitable, there are not enough jokes in the crosstalk but there is no time to change them, there is someone more suitable to sing the same song, etc. It is also not uncommon for programs to be cancelled because "a program is about to go on stage, the actors have already put on the microphones and are preparing to go on stage, but at this time they are notified that they can't go on because the previous program has exceeded the time limit."

It can be said that “it’s hard to say until you get on stage.”

Yunfeng asked: "What was the reason given by the director?"

Tang Yu replied: "The emotion expressed in the song "Love and Sorrow" is too sad..."

Yunfeng frowned and asked, "That's it?"

Tang Yu nodded.

Yes, the Spring Festival is a time of joy, but when it comes to tear-jerking, aren't crosstalk and skits even worse? Most of them end in sentimental endings.

but.

Whether to kill or not is up to the director.

Yunfeng consoled him, "It's just 'maybe'. Maybe there's still room for maneuver."

Tang Yu said absentmindedly: "I hope so."

After a while, the director came over and told them very apologetically that after a meeting, it was decided to remove the piano solo program "Love and Sorrow".

Tang Yu sighed, a look of disappointment written all over his face.

Seeing this, Yunfeng felt even more upset than if he could not perform on the Spring Festival Gala. He asked the director, "What if we change to a happier song?"

The director thought for a moment and said, "It's not impossible to change to a happy song."

It was obvious that these words were conditional.

Tang Yu saw hope and blurted out, "I know a lot of happy songs, such as Claire's "Mark of Rain", Maupassant's "The Happy Girl", Berger's "Gavotte"..."

The director quickly explained: "I mean a new song."

The reason why they invited Tang Yu was not because he was a national piano competition champion, but because of the song "Love and Sorrow".

But when it was performed on stage, it sounded good, but the "unspeakable sadness" it gave people exceeded expectations, which was inconsistent with the "happy" theme of this year's Spring Festival Gala.

So, after weighing the pros and cons, I can only give up.

Tang Yu was deflated when he heard this. There was only half a month left until the Spring Festival. It would be too late to write a piano piece that met their requirements.

The director saw that the two were silent and it seemed that they had no more songs. Just as he was about to comfort them, he heard Yunfeng say, "I have a song in my hand."
