"Shit! David! You bitch! I only told you my secret because of your brother, but you turned around and ended up with Annie?!"

"No, hey brother, this is a misunderstanding. Before you told me that you had a crush on Annie, I had already dated-"

"So you let her sit on you and call me?! Shit!"

With a "bang", the door was slammed open, and the angry man cursed as he walked: "David! David Koeman! It's over between us! Over!"

David Coleman, who hurriedly pulled on a pair of beach shorts and put on his pants to chase after him, stood at the door with his hands on his hips and shouted helplessly: "I can swear to God, this is really just an accident!"

"Fuck you!"

What responded to him was the middle finger raised by his friend without looking back.

Anne, the woman who caused their good brothers to turn against each other, was wearing an oversized shirt at the moment, leaning on the corner of the living room wall and watching the friendly and harmonious exchange between the two with interest.

"You did it on purpose, huh? You knew he was going to come to my house today to get Spike's autographed photo. Everyone else was here, and you still--"

"Yes, of course I did it on purpose. But my original intention was just to increase the interest between you and me. What I didn't expect was that he would just open the door and come in."

The woman named Annie walked up to David Coleman with a smile, put her arms around his neck, and tiptoed to take a peck: "But, taking a step back, don't you like this too? Otherwise, look Why were you so excited in the hotel that night after finishing "Conan Show"?

"I didn't—"

"You don't lie down there, my dear."

"Oh, god! no, no! please - emmm..."

David Coleman groaned, and the expression on his face changed from helpless and questioning to comfortable and enjoyable: "Emmett is a good brother I have known since high school. You can't irritate him like this."

"Really? It's hard to imagine that you two can be good brothers who have known each other for so long. He didn't even dare to say that he likes me. You dared to ask me out the next day after seeing me, and went to bed directly after a week. What a difference in your personalities. It’s really big.”

Annie smoothed her hair, which had been bleached into light pink, and said vaguely.

"His family environment is not very good, which has led to his character always being like this. But apart from being indecisive and timid, Emmett is still a very good person. At least he has not become bad..."

David Koeman, who was so comfortable that he pouted and bubbled, felt as if his soul was being sucked away by the devil, and his voice gradually weakened.

"uh-huh?"

"You may not know that his parents often quarreled at home. When I was in high school, I went to his house to look for him and met him..."

The Fergusons were a famously quarrelsome house in his parents' neighborhood.

Emmett Ferguson grew up in an environment where his parents had a small quarrel every day of the week and a big quarrel every month. It was a good thing that he did not sink himself to sit at a table with black friends and play traditional American street community arts. A child.

An alcoholic and gambling father, a tearful mother, and finally a broken and divorced family.

He barely managed to get into college. Although he applied for a loan, it at least proved how determined he was to leave his family of origin.

It's just that due to the pressure of his small family environment, Emmett seemed a bit timid in school - he laughed and laughed in front of acquaintances who had known each other for many years, but he couldn't hit anyone with three sticks when he encountered strangers or things. Stuffy fart.

His personality is too sensitive, and he may even have a low self-esteem.

They are so timid that they only dare to fall in love secretly, dare not take the initiative to date, and even only dream about falling in love. Because only the fantasy love is perfect for him and will not make the same mistakes as his parents.

"Well, then he must have something in common with the singer of the song we heard on "The Conan Show" that day. I read online comments that said "Because of You" is the real experience of the female singer named Elva... …”

"Real experience?"

………………………………

"Yes, real experience."

New York, press conference after the release of the "Elva" EP album.

Facing the reporter's questions, Hsiao Hsiao, who had always avoided talking about her father and wished there was no such person in the world, showed no signs of avoidance. She responded to "Because of You", a song composed by Zhou Yi. explain--

"Honestly, I don't care too much about how many copies of my records I sell. What I want to do more is to use music to express a kind of power. The meaning of this cannot be easily measured by commercial results.

"The world is so big that I feel that there are many people who have the same life experience as me. This EP album is my gift to them. I hope they will not give up hope in life and get out of the quagmire.

“We can’t choose what our original family is like, but we absolutely have the right to choose what kind of life we ​​want to live and what kind of person we want to be in the future.

"In this way, we can prevent those bad things from happening in our future lives..."

In front of a large number of media cameras brought by EMI, Elva Hsiao used herself as an example and wrote a short essay that was full of empathy.

The reporters at the scene really didn't expect that the female singer who EMI calls the Asian Queen would not talk about the album at the new album music conference, but talk about her personal experience, understanding and expectations of life.

Others try to show their best and most successful side when they come to the American music scene for the first time. I have never seen anyone who exposes himself and sells his misery at a press conference when he comes to the American music scene for the first time.

But let’s not say, the effect is really good.

At least the reporters who are not familiar with Xiao Yaxuan at the scene remember that she is a poor diva with an unfortunate family in her childhood...

Emmett Ferguson also remembered this female singer who had a very similar experience to his own in front of the TV.

Because EMI promoted this press conference, many media broadcasted this press conference. He was hit hard at the home of his good brother David Koman for many years. He had been squatting at home with the curtains drawn for a whole day, letting the TV turn on as background music -

From day to night, and then he heard Xiao Yaxuan’s self-narration at this press conference.

The overly similar childhood experience finally made him wake up from the blow of not eating or drinking, and his head turned stiffly to the direction of the TV...

"My father and mother often quarreled when I was a child. How old was I at that time? I often hid helplessly in the corner behind the door and watched everything. My father was very strange to me. I thought he was a scumbag. He abandoned his wife and children..."

The more Emmett listened, the more he felt that the strange woman on TV was talking about himself.

Wasn't it the same in his childhood...

His parents quarreled and fought every now and then. He was young and could do nothing about it. He could only hide in the corner and tremble alone, which also caused him to be overly sensitive and inferior when he grew up.

"But I am living a good life now, yes, I want to say but.

"Each of us is the most unique existence in this world. I don't think that a bad childhood will ruin everything for me. On the contrary, the bad childhood experience will make me examine myself more carefully, and then - "Try not to let the tragedy of my childhood happen again. "Because, "Because of You"..." It is precisely because of the sadness of "Because of You" that the emotions that the two sweet love songs "The Sun Never Sets" and "U Make Me Wanna" want to express are more prominent - a strong sunflower. "I don't think that the bad childhood experience will make me lose my expectations for love, and I don't feel inferior. On the contrary, because of what I have experienced, I will have a better plan for my feelings and my future..."

Accompanying Xiao Yaxuan's answers and doubts, Emmett rubbed his nose and moved his numb body. He tried to search the three songs of the "Elva" EP album on the computer and found that they were all available on the Apple Music Store--

"Spike Recommends: The Chic Lady from the East: Elva's New EP".

This is the introduction of this EP in the Apple Music Store, which is very brief. The comments given are just like Xiao Yaxuan's lack of self-esteem and sensitivity about her childhood and family experiences, very chic.

"This..."

Emmet, who was skeptical, clicked to listen. The straightforward lyrics of "Because of You" combined with Xiao Yaxuan's unique mezzo-soprano burst hit his heart in an instant!

At the same time, "Conan Show Special Edition·Spike Show" was officially launched--

"Unfortunately, I can't watch it. ”

In the VIP room of the airport, Zhou Yi, who was reading a magazine, whistled comfortably: "Anyway, just remember what I said. If you want to make it in the American music scene, you must have something that people can remember or empathize with in an instant.

"The reason why Tao Zhe failed is because he didn't find his selling point. His many girlfriends are not a problem in the United States at all. Being a policeman is even less helpful. I have already used racial discrimination.

"But you are different. You know, there are many families in the United States who can't find their fathers or whose fathers have been forcibly missing for more than ten or twenty years, and they are all your potential first audiences..."

Across the phone, Zhou Yi continued to talk about his insights and suggestions: "You have to be clear that the era of female singers in the American music scene is at the end of the Sweetie trend. You are now holding high the banner of family and female power, which will naturally give the audience a sense of freshness, and at the same time, it will also enable many people of the same age to find resonance in this song.

"And they are your first vote bank in the United States."

You can't eat a fat man in one bite.

Xiao Yaxuan doesn't have the ability to copy a whole album. With one song and one EP, the most important thing is to find a field to gain a foothold and then slowly expand the circle.

The most important thing is that there is really no one in this track at present.

Madonna, the first female power in the American music scene, was busy with women's equality, gender equality and other political correctness after entering the 21st century, and she played herself to death. She just ignored the "family" factor that exists all over the world but is always ignored by many singers.

Xiao Yaxuan still has her own family background as a resume for the free banner, which is simply not worth it.

No matter whether you are Asian, British, Latin American or local American old black and white, nine out of ten people probably witnessed their parents quarreling in their families when they were young, and the memory is still fresh.

Qian Jiang, who was studying the rehearsal schedule of the Sino-Japanese Song Festival in Japan, couldn't help but shake his head with emotion after hearing him hang up the phone-he never expected that Zhou Yi's market positioning advice to Xiao Yaxuan before leaving the United States was actually this.

Instead of aiming at the traditional pop market, he started with a small area of ​​family songs, focusing on people who share the same pain.

"You always come up with something new for me."
