Chapter 224 223, Be ruthless!
“Does the organizer want more money?”

Jiang Feng asked while cooking in the kitchen.

I didn’t know it before, but I know it now.

In China, although there is no charge for participating in music award selection activities and anyone can sign up, if a singer wants to get better results in music award selection activities, such as Best Male Singer, Best Newcomer Award, Top Ten Golden Songs and other major awards.

Then music company public relations is needed.

Jiang Feng is a self-employed person. He writes and records his own songs, and then works with music companies to release records. Therefore, he has to pay for his own public relations for participating in any music award selection activities.

This is also the reason why Jiang Feng refused to participate in the Eastern Billboard selection last year.

“We have to pay, because other singers have done the PR, and if we don’t, then we will definitely be the ones to fail.

But if other singers do PR, and we do PR, then we are all standing on the same starting line, and we have to compete on the quality of the songs and the influence of the albums.”

Having said this, Wang Jinghua placed the peeled onions on the chopping board next to Jiang Feng.

"Jiang Feng, I know you are stingy.

Well, how about this, I will pay for this part of the PR fee. Anyway, I have made a lot of money from your two albums. All together, it is more than 300 million RMB..."

But before Wang Jinghua could finish her words, she saw Jiang Feng, who was cutting vegetables, shaking his head.

"Sister Hua, listen to me. We won't participate in any music awards. We'll just sell albums."

"..."

Looking at Jiang Feng's back, Wang Jinghua fell silent.

After a long while, he said, "Jiang Feng, you are busy filming, there is one thing you may not know, although your second album "He Must Love You Very Much" benefited from the 921 Baodao Dilong turnaround, currently, the sales volume is high.

But many professional music media have begun to criticize your album, saying that you are whining without reason, like the sub-title song "Farewell" in this album, the lyrics are basically nothing, the rest is just leaving; saying that your album is full of nonsense, like the sub-title song "Darkness" in this album, it says that when I close my eyes, it is dark, and when you close your eyes, it is dark, isn’t it…”

Jiang Feng is patient.

He was busy cooking and did not interrupt Wang Jinghua, but listened carefully while cutting vegetables.

After Wang Jinghua finished speaking, Jiang Feng said, "Sister Hua, what do you mean? Was it the organizer of the Eastern Billboard that did this through professional music media?"

"Well..., I can only say that it is possible.

Because if your music album sells very well, but any song in the album has never won an award from them, it will make the majority of fans question their fairness.

For example, the song "Dragon Scales of Heaven and Earth" from your previous album was performed on the Spring Festival Gala, became the theme song of the Forbidden City's promotional video, and was widely sung by fans across the country, but it did not receive any nominations or awards from them.

On May 5 this year, as soon as the results of the Eastern Billboard Awards came out, they were immediately ridiculed by domestic and foreign music media.

Therefore, in order to prevent problems before they happen, they may take the initiative and find a group of professional music critics to make irresponsible comments on our songs. In other words, they will do their best to discredit our songs. "When talking about this, Wang Jinghua's face was full of worry.

"Jiang Feng, if there are too many negative articles, it will affect the sales of our music album."

While the two were talking, Jiang Feng prepared all the dishes.

After the dishes were prepared, the first thing Jiang Feng had to do was to heat the oil in a pan. When the oil was warm, he quickly added shredded ginger and peppercorns to the pan and stir-fried them for 30 seconds to bring out the aroma. Then he put the freshly cut mutton into the pan, added cooking wine and soy sauce, and started to stir the pan...

Looking at the busy Jiang Feng, to be honest, Wang Jinghua was a little shocked.

Before, I knew that this guy could cook, and I had also eaten the spicy soup he cooked in the Beijing Film Academy community, but this was the first time I saw him perform cooking live.

Of course, although she was shocked, Wang Jinghua did not forget the main business, so she wanted to continue the previous topic. After all, the test was not over yet.

But just as Wang Jinghua was considering his words and thinking about how to talk to Jiang Feng, the first dish he cooked, stir-fried lamb with green onions, was already out of the pot.

As the steaming, sizzling lamb came out of the pot, a strong aroma hit me. I couldn't resist it because I was a little hungry after all.

So, Wang Jinghua picked up the chopsticks and put a piece of tender and juicy mutton into her mouth. Instantly, she felt full of warmth and satisfaction. The deliciousness and tenderness of the mutton and the crispness of the green onion complemented each other...

"Sister Hua..."

"Ok?"

“Is it delicious?” “Delicious!”

Giving a thumbs up and praising Jiang Feng, Wang Jinghua reached out for the plate of stir-fried lamb with green onions again.

"But what if someone says it doesn't taste good?" Jiang Feng suddenly spoke at this time.

“How could it be that it doesn’t taste good?

I will certainly fight for my rights.”

However, as soon as she finished saying this, Wang Jinghua's chopsticks froze in place.

"Jiang Feng, I understand what you mean.

What you mean is that if someone is criticizing our songs, then we can either argue with them or just criticize them directly.

And this back and forth, the two sides kept arguing in the media, which would definitely attract more attention from music fans. What was going on? Why did Jiang Feng's latest music album cause such a big controversy?

No, I have to buy one and listen to it to see what's going on. "

"Ha ha…"

At this time, Jiang Feng laughed.

"Sister Hua, you are really good at making associations. Actually, I just wanted to ask you if the food I cooked was delicious. Alas, alas, alas... Sister Hua, why did you take my plate away?"

"Jiang Feng, I won't eat here anymore. I have to find professionals in the music industry and ask them to help us argue in major media.

Well, I'll take this stir-fried lamb with green onions and eat it on the way.

Oh, by the way, I'll leave the two bottles of red wine here with you. I'll come over to drink them when I have the chance."

As expected of being the No. 1 entertainment agent in the mainland, Wang Jinghua thought of a solution and left as soon as he said he would.

Looking at her back, Jiang Feng smiled and started to make the next classic Shandong dish - Nine-turn Large Intestine.

【Contemporary music scene:
"He Must Love You Very Much" is the title song from the latest music album "He Must Love You Very Much" by Jiang Feng, a famous mainland singer.

Listening to this song is like suddenly remembering a certain moment, a certain fragment, or a certain story in the middle of the night. It may be very far away from now, and perhaps I can never go back.

But why can we still hear the infatuation and reluctance in "He Must Love You Very Much"? Perhaps, the person who can forget is the one who hides it most thoroughly in his heart? !

Although I don’t say it, the things that cannot be erased from my heart are like lotus leaves. In the rainy winter, someone suddenly passes by the intersection and is seen again in the crowd!

Sitting in the classroom at Bingcheng No. 1 Middle School, Chen Xi felt like crying as he read the music reviews in the music magazine Contemporary Music.

What kind of relationship did Jiang Feng experience that allowed him to write such simple and straightforward yet heartbreaking lyrics?

Eh…

I should go to Beijing Film Academy again to comfort my brother Feng.

But when Chen Xi thought of this, he suddenly stood up from his seat.

Oh shit, who is this?

【Contemporary music scene:
I should be under the car, not in it.

Jiang Feng 《He Must Love You Very Much》

This line of lyrics has confused me for five days. I have no appetite for tea or food. Even when I lie in bed, I am still thinking, what is going on? What kind of person can write such a line?

Now, I understand that there are only four possibilities for this line:

1. Jiang Feng is a tire repairman; 2. Jiang Feng is an exhaust pipe; 3. Jiang Feng is a stray cat; 4. Jiang Feng is an old man who scams people;
