Huayu: Starting from intercepting Duan Yu

Chapter 75 New Album (Please Subscribe!)

Three days later, the script of "Love" that had been submitted earlier was officially approved.

And at the same time, he got the Dragon Mark.

And passed the registration review for participating in film festivals abroad.

However, the application for "Chinese Paladin" to be broadcast on satellite TV was still not approved.

Xu Yi didn't care either.

It's pointless to worry so much about such things.

In addition to officials from various relevant departments, the review committee also includes many people from inside the circle.

For example, some famous directors and scholars.

During the review, not all committee members are required to be present.

So most of the time, it is these people in the circle who are responsible for the review.

Those officials from relevant departments are just there in name only.

So it is obvious that it is these people in the circle who are targeting him this time.

Behind these people in the circle, they basically have their own circles and forces.

He became famous not by relying on any circle or power, but entirely by his own ability.

It would be strange if this wasn't targeted!

Just like Daolang in his previous life, he also came from a grassroots background like him.

The first album, "The First Snow of 2002", sold 270 million copies of genuine copies.

The sales of the following albums were also very good, surpassing a large number of mainland singers.

But due to his outstanding abilities, he is unwilling to integrate into other people's circles.

To the point that he has been excluded from the so-called mainstream music circle.

Many years later, he even wrote a poem called "Rakshasa Sea City", which severely mocked those people back then.

It can be seen that I was indeed disgusted by those people back then!

Immediately afterwards, Xu Yi submitted an application for the festival screening of "Love" directly on the official website of the Cannes Film Festival.

Then just wait for the review results.

Xu Yi did not make this matter public.

Because the films at the Cannes Film Festival are divided into several levels.

Only films shortlisted for the main competition unit are eligible to compete for the final Palme d'Or.

However, there are thousands of films applying every year, but only a dozen or so are finally shortlisted for the main competition unit.

If I’m not shortlisted by then, it will be such a shame!
At the same time, there are still almost two months until the opening of the Cannes Film Festival.

He can also take advantage of this time to record his second album.

The songs have all been selected.

And the copyright has been registered.

But at this moment, a report from Taiwan media suddenly pushed Xu Yi, who was about to keep a low profile, to the forefront again!

That means in half a month, the shortlist for this year's Taiwan Golden Melody Awards will be announced.

But until now, the Golden Melody Awards Organizing Committee has not received Xu Yi's application.

The registration requirement for the Golden Melody Awards is that the song or album must have been officially released in Taiwan.

Xu Yi's album naturally meets this condition.

So much so that in the eyes of the Taiwanese media, Xu Yi simply did not take the Golden Melody Awards and the entire Taiwanese music industry seriously!
You have to know that the Golden Melody Awards today are still very valuable.

Many singers are proud to be nominated for the Golden Melody Awards.

Among them are some really big-name singers.

Not to mention winning an award.

Last year, Jay Chou was very excited because he was nominated for five Golden Melody Awards for his album "Octave Space".

He also brought his grandmother to attend the award ceremony that day.

This shows how much he values ​​the Golden Melody Awards!
Unfortunately, just as Chen Yixun sang in the song "Red Rose", those who are favored are fearless.

The more you value something, the less likely you are to get it.

Last year, Jay Chou was severely fooled by the Golden Melody Awards organizing committee.

They said his songs were all in the same style, so he didn't receive any awards.

Not only that, in Xu Yi’s previous life, there was a song called “Grandma” in Jay Chou’s album “Qilixiang” released this year.

The lyrics inside read "I told grandma, I didn't lose, I don't need to change."

Obviously he still hasn't gotten over this!

The fact that Xu Yi did not sign up for the Golden Melody Awards was certainly not because he accidentally forgot.

But I accidentally forgot it on purpose.

Even Jay Chou, a native of Taiwan, was badly fooled by the Golden Melody Awards.

If a mainlander like him, who just beat all the singers in Taiwan, were to sign up to participate, wouldn't that be asking for trouble?

It will be just like last year when Canadian pop star Avril Lavigne signed up for the Grammy Awards.

Also give him an 8-0 hit.

That would be so embarrassing!

Or you just bring shame upon yourself!

However, he still has to continue selling albums in Taiwan, so Xu Yi certainly can't just say that he deliberately doesn't want to sign up for the Golden Melody Awards.

Otherwise, it would be confirmed that he doesn't take the Golden Melody Awards seriously.

Even though it is true.

But making money is not shameful.

It's not like making money on your knees.

After seeing the report, Xu Yi immediately logged onto a blog and wrote a post: "I'm in Beijing. I just got on a plane and was told that I haven't registered for the Golden Melody Awards yet. I just remembered that it was true. I had no choice but to get off the plane and go back to write the application overnight..."

Below is a handsome photo he took with a professional photographer.

Social media was very underdeveloped in this era.

It took several years for Weibo to go online.

So he started a blog during the Chinese New Year.

Otherwise, if you want to speak out, you have to go through traditional media, which is very inconvenient.

Today, the number of users of Blog.com has exceeded 200 million.

Xu Yi’s number of followers also exceeded 30.

However, the person who received the most attention was not him, but an internet celebrity named "Mu Zimei".

There's nothing you can do about it, people just write pornographic articles on their blogs.

Or her own personal experience.

Who can compare to this!

After seeing Xu Yi's blog post, many of his fans immediately started leaving comments below.

"Wow, Brother Xu Yi finally posted a blog!"

"Brother Xu Yi is so handsome!"

"Ahhhhhh, Brother Xu Yi actually has abdominal muscles! And they're standard eight-pack abs!"

"It's okay that this guy is handsome, he also has such a great figure. He simply doesn't want us ordinary people to have a chance to survive!"

"The key is that this guy is humorous and doesn't act like a celebrity. He almost made me die of laughter several times!"

"Believe it or not, this guy definitely didn't forget to register for the Golden Melody Awards; he deliberately didn't register!"

"Are you saying that the Golden Melody Awards are making fun of him?"

"The Golden Melody Awards just fooled Jay Chou last year, and now they're fooling Xu Yi again this year. What's so strange about that?"

"That's right, awards all over the world are exclusive. Last year, Avril was fooled by the Grammys, and the Golden Melody Awards even fooled their own people. If they don't make fun of Xu Yi this year, then it would be weird!"

"Damn, so Xu Yi knew he had no chance of winning, so he deliberately didn't sign up?"

"Just wait and see. I guarantee this guy might say he'll write the application overnight, but that's just because he doesn't want to offend anyone. He's definitely not going to sign up in the end!"

"That guy is so sinister!"

"It's not that Xu Yi is insidious, it's that the Golden Melody Awards are too insidious, but Xu Yi just doesn't fall for it!"

……

Warner Records.

Because last year’s collaboration was quite pleasant, Xu Yi chose to cooperate with Warner for this album.

The conditions are the same as last year.

All costs will be borne by Xu Yi, but he will take 70% of the profits.

Warner naturally had no choice but to agree.

Although Warner recently signed the popular and talented singer Sun Nan.

The male singers include Sun Nan and the female singers include Na Ying.

It can be considered as a temporary breakthrough in the mainland music scene.

But in front of Xu Yi, he still had no qualifications to negotiate terms.

Otherwise, it is absolutely possible for Xu Yi to go and cooperate with any other singing company and get more favorable conditions than their Warner!

"How come your singing skills improved so much all of a sudden?" Lu Zhongqiang looked at Xu Yi who had just finished recording a song with a confused look on his face.

You have to know that when recording the last album, Xu Yi's singing skills were only slightly better than those of ordinary people, and he was at most a beginner.

He also personally edited the album word by word.

As a result, after not seeing each other for a year, he found that Xu Yi no longer needed audio editing!

Because the effect without audio editing may be better than with audio editing!
After all, audio editing is not a panacea and may even cause the singer to lose his or her original characteristics.

So it is fine to use it to cover some minor flaws.

But if the whole song is edited, it is not impossible.

But compared with real top singers, the effect will definitely be much worse!
"No way, I'm too talented, I just practiced and it became like this."

Xu Yi said shamelessly, without any embarrassment at all.

The facts were right in front of him, and Lu Zhongqiang had no doubts.

Besides, talent is something that is difficult to say.

Maybe Xu Yi is indeed talented in singing, but it has never been discovered before.

"By the way, are you really not planning on attending the Golden Melody Awards?"

Lu Zhongqiang asked again.

Xu Yi's blog post was quickly reprinted and reported by many media outlets.

At the same time, many media pointed out that he actually deliberately did not sign up for the Golden Melody Awards.

Especially those media from Hong Kong and Taiwan.

It’s just that the media in Taiwan are all blaming the awards, while the media in Hong Kong are making fun of the Golden Melody Awards.

"When did I say I wouldn't participate? I just haven't written the application yet."

Xu Yi retorted.

Who made the registration process so complicated, requiring submission of materials and filling out application forms?

It's only right that he should do it slower and more carefully.

Otherwise, if there is a mistake, you have to rewrite it, which is a waste of time.

Anyway, he would never admit that it was he who was unwilling to participate!
Hearing him say this, Lu Zhongqiang was speechless.

Jing Tian on the side couldn't help but burst out laughing.

There is a chorus song in Xu Yi’s album, so he brought Jing Tian along.

You should know that there is a clause in the contract he signed with Jing Tian. After Jing Tian comes of age, he must ensure that Jing Tian's annual income will not be less than 200 million.

If it's not enough, he'll make up for it.

So he must also slowly increase Jing Tian's popularity.

And if he has time in the future, he also plans to release an album for Jing Tian.

Or at least release a single.

This will also help cultivate her independent character.

By the way, I can also...

No, it's to create some benefits for the company...

"Okay, as long as you think it's okay."

Lu Zhongqiang shook his head.

He definitely hopes that Xu Yi can participate in the Golden Melody Awards.

Because the Golden Melody Awards has an award for Best Album Producer.

Although he also knew that it would be difficult for either him or Xu Yi to win the award in the end.

But this is the Golden Melody Awards after all.

He still wants to give it a try!
In addition, if I don’t participate in the Golden Melody Awards, I will definitely offend some fans in Taiwan.

If that affects the album's sales in Taiwan, both he and Xu Yi will suffer losses.

But considering the quality of this album, this loss shouldn't be that big.

Besides, even if there is a loss, Xu Yi will suffer the greatest loss.

Xu Yi himself didn't care, so naturally he couldn't say anything.

Then it took two and a half days to record all 10 songs for Xu Yi's album.

Half a day was spent recording Jingtian's half of the song.

Although the sound can be adjusted, it is still not good if the difference between the sound and the original singing is too big.

Jing Tian is not Xu Yi, who can completely ignore the opinions of others.

Even now Xu Yi's singing skills have reached the master level.

Looking around the world, his singing skills are definitely top-notch.

There are absolutely no shortcomings.

Various styles such as pop rock rap punk country classical etc.

There are also high, mid-range, bass and dolphin sounds.

You can do them all with ease, without any pressure at all.

He can be described as a true hexagonal singer.

Even the Hexagonal God of Song!

However, he faced doubts online about his singing skills in his first album.

He still didn't respond!
Fortunately, Jing Tian's half of the song is not difficult.

The requirements for her are not that high.

In the end, it only took half a day to record it.

Although audio editing will definitely be required in post-production, it will only require adjusting some minor details.

This is also completely acceptable.

As for training Jing Tian's singing skills, Xu Yi thought about it and decided to give up.

His purpose in training Jing Tian was not to make money.

Otherwise, wouldn’t it be enough to just choose a beautiful girl with good singing skills?
Why go through so much trouble like now!
He simply wanted Da Tiantian, the most beautiful and rich woman in the world!

How can you be considered rich if you make money by your own ability?
……

After the album is recorded, the next step is to shoot the MV.

The candidates for the MV heroines must include the two little girls Liu Yifei and Jing Tian.

Then Xu Yi thought about it and added Yang Mi in.

After all, she is one of the heroines of "Legend of Sword and Fairy".

This can also be regarded as a warm-up for "Legend of Sword and Fairy".

But Yan Xinchen let it go.

After all, he is the best newcomer of the Huabiao Awards.

If I shoot a music video, it would be a bit cheap.

And now his movie "Love" has not only passed the application for the Cannes Film Festival.

It was also successfully shortlisted for the main competition unit.

If she really wins the award, this senior sister Yan’s “status” will definitely continue to rise.

The same goes for Jiang Xin.

As the only woman he currently recognizes, he actually doesn't want Jiang Xin to become too famous.

He even had the idea of ​​letting Jiang Xin move from the front stage to behind the scenes and become a producer or something.

This can also help him share some of the burden.

But it’s definitely not possible now.

Otherwise, as a producer, Jiang Xin would have to follow him in every movie.

Then I watched him flirting with various female stars on the crew every day.

No matter how good-tempered Jiang Xin is, she definitely won't be able to accept it.

Besides, Jiang Xin’s temper has never been very good.

So he planned to completely subdue Jiang Xin first!

In this way, there are ten MVs, Liu Yifei and Jing Tian shot four each, and Yang Mi shot one.

There was no way he could muster any interest in Yang Mi during this period.

It's already good enough to let her be the heroine of a MV.

As for the last MV, Xu Yi plans to ask Lin Zhiling to shoot it.

As a model, she is absolutely professional when it comes to shooting music videos.

In addition, Lin Chi-ling's current popularity in Taiwan can also make up for some of the losses caused by his not participating in the Golden Melody Awards.

Well, he admitted that he didn't care whether the album in Taiwan could be sold or not.

But who can blame Lin Zhiling, now 29 years old, who is not only the best of the best, but also understands men's minds very well.

Even the various techniques are very professional!
In Xu Yi's opinion, even some truly respected enlightenment teachers are not as good as her!

So much so that Xu Yi, who had experienced it twice before, still finds it hard to forget!

So if he had the chance, he naturally wouldn't mind experiencing it a few more times!
