I really don't want to be the top streamer anymore

Chapter 261 Xu Kong is several versions ahead of the entire Chinese music scene!
"Who is playing the pipa, a song is broken by the east wind"

"Time is peeling off the wall, and I still remember my childhood"

“We were all very young at that time.”

"But now the sound of the piano is faint, but you haven't heard my waiting."

……

As soon as the chorus of Dong Feng Po came out, the audience who were watching the live broadcast were so excited that they couldn't express it in words.

When the song "Blue and White Porcelain" was performed during the Spring Festival Gala, besides being stunning, the biggest feeling it brought to everyone was the Chinese style, a type that had never been encountered before.

I just feel it's novel, and I can't find any similar music styles.

In fact, not many people can really tell what the so-called Chinese style is at first glance.

Subsequently, many followers appeared in the market, claiming to be Chinese-style music.

But it doesn't have the very unique charm of "Blue and White Porcelain" at all, especially the melody. It is really impossible for people to remember it after listening to it once and find it difficult to forget it.

But when the song "Dong Feng Po" came out at this time, the familiar feeling came back.

Although the two songs are different in almost every aspect, anyone who has heard both songs can tell that they are of the same genre.

That is the so-called Chinese style.

The melody, the artistic conception, and more importantly, the combination of modern pop music arrangement style and the unique Chinese ancient charm are completely different from the previous clumsy imitations.

"That's the feeling, the same as the one Blue and White Porcelain gave me at the time."

"This is the Chinese style. I said that the previous songs were too poorly imitated."

"I think this chorus is even better than 'Blue and White Porcelain'. Xu Kong really didn't write 'Blue and White Porcelain' just because he got inspiration. He has now completely mastered the Chinese style."

……

The audience who were watching the live broadcast were already getting excited at this point.

Before the live broadcast of "Singer" began, everyone still had a lot of doubts about Xu Kong's new Chinese-style song.

But when the song came out at this time, Xu Kong almost didn't need to make any excuses or explanations. The song "Dong Feng Po" itself was the best response that was enough to make everyone shut up and listen to the song.

"In these years of wild smoke and grass, even breakups are silent"

The first half of Xu Kong’s singing had just ended, and what followed was the highly recognizable erhu solo.

Compared to the previous prelude where the piano was just a supporting instrument, it completely became the protagonist at this time. The atmosphere created, which was slightly sad but made people feel as if they were in the scene, made Fat Bird get goose bumps almost instantly.

“I feel that the quality of this song ‘Dong Feng Po’ is not inferior to the previous song ‘Blue and White Porcelain’, and it may even be better!”

“Although the creative methods are similar, the arrangement, melody and lyrics all have a more natural feel…”

Fat Bird said these words almost subconsciously.

There is no way, because he is different from traditional music critics. Some previous music critics would write song reviews after listening to songs or watching performances and carefully thinking about their wording or ideas.

But for Feiniao, the better data are actually some of his impromptu and sharp comments.

This kind of talent is not rare, but it is true that Fei Niao is currently the number one in the field.

I was born to do this job.

So after making this comment, he realized that he was still a media judge on the scene and quickly stopped.

But these words still reached the ears of the music director he was already familiar with, as well as many media judges around him.

It just so happened that these comments touched the hearts of several people. Although they did not give much feedback, in fact, several people around Fei Niao were silently nodding in approval.

……

At this time, the two people who had just finished performing in the lounge had different expressions.

Lan Shu was no longer in danger of being eliminated because of the number of votes, so she was in a relatively relaxed state.

But in comparison, she didn't feel that much about Xu Kong's performance.

It’s not that she was unaware of the influence of Chinese style and the quality of Xu Kong’s "Dongfeng Po".

But in her opinion, these actually have little to do with her.

After all, Xu Kong was undoubtedly the protagonist of this episode, so although she was not particularly dissatisfied with being the background board, it was difficult for her to be happy either.

The main reason was that he contacted Xu Kong through Jian Junfang last time.

I wanted to invite the other person to dinner and sing a song at the same time.

But because Xu Kong had something urgent to do, he left Star City directly after the recording.

Being stood up is a painful thing for anyone, but because the person on the other side is Xu Kong, it is difficult for Lan Shu to lose his temper.

This has led to Lan Shu feeling very conflicted. On the one hand, she really can't like Xu Kong, and she even feels disgusted from time to time.

Especially when you think about the fact that at his age, he can have such high popularity and influence.

Comparing myself with my past self, I can’t help but feel a little disappointed.

But apart from that, Lan Shu also has a need for Xu Kong's songs.

When she needed help from others, she could only hide her emotions as much as possible.

After all, things were not confirmed yet, so although Xu Kong broke the appointment, it was not a complete rejection.

……

The one who is very different from Lan Shu is Su Yuwei.

She only got 80 votes in this show. Strictly speaking, although she sang a new song, the result was definitely not ideal.

It is even on the verge of being eliminated.

But for her, hearing Xu Kong's song "Dong Feng Po" live really made her feel like it touched her heart.

Instead, I briefly forgot that my grades this term were not so ideal.

……

"Singer Xu Kong, the final number of votes is..."

"95 votes!"

This is the first performance in this issue to get over 90 votes, and if nothing unexpected happens, it will definitely take first place.

After all, the Chinese style is so popular now.

Considering the quality of the song "Dong Feng Po", getting first place is actually a normal thing.

As the corresponding public opinion and song influence continue to ferment, the discussion about the Chinese style and the influence of this new song are expected to sweep the entire Chinese music scene in a short period of time.

The emergence of Chinese style is destined to change the current music landscape.

Just from the fact that so many new Chinese-style songs imitating "Blue and White Porcelain" have appeared in a short period of time, it is estimated that there will be more influential and capable songwriters in the future.

At least Xu Kong has now proved that the Chinese style he proposed on the Spring Festival Gala was not just a casual remark.

Two new songs with such a high degree of completion are enough to completely legitimize this new style of music.

……

The remaining two singing kings and two powerful singers from Europe and the United States.

The performance on stage was actually not bad either.

But because Xu Kong's previous performance of "Dong Feng Po" was so prominent, people didn't pay much attention to the following performances.

The final vote count came out, and a European and American singer won the second place with 91 votes.

Xu Kong naturally won the first place without any suspense.

However, it can be seen that the average number of votes in this period has dropped significantly compared to before the New Year.

Although they are still the same singers, even the best singers cannot guarantee that they can perform well in every show. At most, there is a relatively high lower limit.

Of course, Xu Kong’s words were indeed a special exception.

The main reason is that the nature of this episode has changed since he announced in advance that he would sing a new Chinese-style song.

Other singers, even a singing king like Jian Junfang, can only serve as a background board.

Fortunately, the other singers didn’t actually have much desire to compete with Xu Kong for the first place, so when the votes came out, the atmosphere among the guests on the scene was still relatively harmonious.

The one who was eliminated in this episode was not Su Yuwei, who had only received 80 votes before.

But another European and American singer.

He was only one vote away from Su Yuwei, and his score of 79 votes meant that he had to bid farewell to the "Singer" stage early.

But he didn't look too sad.

He was paid a high appearance fee, and actually didn't care too much about his ranking and performance on the show.

Now I feel a sense of relief as if I had gotten off work early.

……

The live broadcast of "Singer" has ended, but the related discussions and public opinions have just begun to ferment.

In particular, Xu Kong's song "Dong Feng Po" unsurprisingly topped the charts of the two major music platforms, and even the live video appeared on the popular lists of various video websites.

In addition to the fact that the Chinese style itself has been a hot topic recently.

The main reason is that the quality of the song "Dong Feng Po" itself is enough to become a hit. Even if there was no foreshadowing of "Blue and White Porcelain" before, with its melody, lyrics and unique arrangement style, "Dong Feng Po" will still be the center of attention after the "Singer" live broadcast ends.

As the on-site media judge, Feiniao naturally began to make his own comments as soon as the show ended.

As someone who has always been recognized as the leader of Xu's fans, naturally the entire song review is mainly praise.

But apart from that, the most important thing is that he mentioned that after the end of "Dong Feng Po", Xu Kong's position as the founder of Hua Xia Feng has been completely secured.

Moreover, for some other styles, there are a large number of well-known singers who have produced quite representative works.

The only difference is the so-called Chinese style. At present, it seems that no one can play it well except Xu Kong.

Whether he was trying to ride on the popularity or was really inspired by Xu Kong, he is a well-known composer who started trying to create Chinese-style lyrics.

There is still an unbridgeable gap between Xu Kong's two highly completed songs and his.

"In terms of Chinese style, Xu Kong is several versions ahead of the entire Chinese music scene!"

……

Fei Niao’s reviews have never been particularly professional.

Even compared to some traditional music critics, there is no comparison in terms of professionalism.

But every time a related hot event comes out, everyone can find that Feiniao is still one of the most popular internet celebrities and music self-media.

This time was no exception. The comment that Xu Kong was ahead of the Chinese music scene by several versions was directly used by various media and marketing accounts as a relevant news headline.

If you really only look at this sentence, it is undoubtedly putting Xu Kong on the fire.

Even though Xu Kong has received all the honors he deserves now, no one will question his traffic and works.

This way of directly comparing Xu Kong with the entire Chinese music scene is bound to be criticized by the outside world.

But after adding the premise of the Chinese style, no one can stand up to refute it.

The main thing is that Xu Kong has obviously been studying his so-called Chinese style for a long time.

But he waited until he had produced a work of such high completion and quality before he began to let the outside world know about it.

Under this premise, within three to five years, the Chinese style will really become like Xu Kong's unique patented style.

Not to mention following the trend, even imitating it is not that easy.

……

"I'm not contacting you this time to scold you."

"On the contrary, I think your idea is quite good. Let Su Yuwei slowly get close to Xu Kong..."

At this moment in the hotel, when Su Yuwei's agent received a call from Xu Yaqin, the company manager, she knew that the other party had probably watched the live broadcast of "Singer".

But I had already prepared myself to be criticized or scolded, but the other party's attitude was quite strange.

Not only did Xu Yaqin not blame her for making the decision on her own initiative, she also gave it a positive attitude.

This means that Su Yuwei can continue to deliberately make friends with Xu Kong.

He even took the initiative to hint that if possible, Su Yuwei should spend some time on this aspect.

Su Yuwei's agent naturally understood it instantly.

Because that's what she thought.

"Yuwei, maybe you can't say it so directly..."

"It's better to guide slowly."

As the manager of the artist department, Xu Yaqin is quite familiar with Su Yuwei, the new artist that the company is promoting.

The other party has always been well protected within the company.

Although she is not a naive little girl, if she is asked to seduce Xu Kong directly, it will probably cause disgust and resistance from the other party.

In this regard, she and Su Yuwei's agent have the same idea.

……

"I know……"

Su Yuwei's agent agreed silently.

In fact, her original idea was to do this secretly without the company's knowledge.

But now that he's been discovered, and with the support of his agent Xu Yaqin, it's not unacceptable.

Neither of them is naive.

They both knew that if Su Yuwei and Xu Kong really became friends, or exchanged music or something, they could get Xu Kong's help in writing songs or even other benefits.

Su Yuwei’s biggest advantage is herself.

And both of them have their own little thoughts.

In the opinion of Su Yuwei's agent, the main hope is that Su Yuwei can get two hit singles from Xu Kong.

This will be of great benefit to Su Yuwei's future career development.

As for Xu Yaqin, a senior executive of Jiying Media, she thinks even further.

In addition to being able to use Su Yuwei to improve the relationship between the company and Xu Kong.

Maybe if something really happened between the two of them in the end, with the help of Su Yuwei, he might be able to use Xu Kong for his own benefit in the future.

Joining Jiying Media seems too far-fetched.

But asking someone to help write a song is just a small matter.

The reason why both of them are so confident is actually because Su Yuwei is indeed a very obedient type of artist.

Since I joined Jiying Media, I have almost always followed the route arranged by the company, without even any small feelings of resistance.

Naturally, it makes people feel that there will be no problem in controlling and grasping it.
