This star’s style is wrong

Donghai New Fashion Music Festival scene.

This is a music festival jointly organized by many domestic record companies and entertainment companies. At this time of year, many big names in the industry are invited to help out.

The purpose of this music festival is to explore avant-garde music. Every year, many bands and independent musicians gather at East Coast Marine Park to exchange music.

The organizer has a wide network of contacts and will invite many celebrities to help out every time.

Fang Xing also received the invitation, but he has been very busy recently and is making progress on his new album.

However, as a veteran musician of Songshi Records, Liang Yusong participated in this music festival on behalf of the company.

In addition to Songshi Records, all major domestic record companies have received invitations.

Puxiang Records and Mailin Records are naturally among them.

Although there is competition between Songshi, Puxiang and Mailin, the music industry is actually only that big.

Liang Yusong knows many musicians from record companies and can chat politely when they meet.

…

In addition to musicians, the music festival also attracts many entertainment journalists.

Events like this where celebrities gather together often make breaking news.

Therefore, many entertainment reporters gathered around the venue, waiting to interview the big names participating in the music festival.

Every time, as soon as a celebrity comes out of the venue after participating in an event, a large group of reporters will surround the celebrity and start asking for tidbits.

During the interview, once a bigger celebrity comes out, the reporter will immediately disperse and surround the big celebrity.

The Catfish Band is a new band that has participated in some band shows. Although they have not received high rankings, they are still somewhat popular.

The members of the Catfish band were happily being interviewed by reporters.

At this moment.

A musician wearing sunglasses and escorted by his management team came out of the venue.

When entertainment reporters spotted the musician, someone immediately shouted out: "It's Xu Shangyan! Come on, come on, come on...it's Xu Shangyan!"

The surrounding reporters instantly changed their targets, leaving the Catfish Band in place, and all went to surround Xu Shangyan.

The lead singer of Catfish Band was originally answering a reporter's question. He was only halfway through answering the question when all the reporters in front of him ran away in the blink of an eye, causing his answer to come to an abrupt end. The scene was very embarrassing for a time. Fortunately, no one paid attention to them.

Because everyone is paying attention to Xu Shangyan.

Who is Xu Shangyan?

The head producer of Mailin Records and the producer of the new generation of music king Tan Zhiguan.

It can be said that Tan Zhiguan was created by Xu Shangyan and Mailin Records.

Xu Shangyan is a music giant who values ​​both strength and fame.

There is no comparison between an eighteenth-line band like Catfish Band and Xu Shangyan.

Therefore, entertainment reporters were very realistic and dismissed Catfish Band as soon as they saw Xu Shangyan.

Although the Catfish Band felt a little embarrassed, they didn't dare to complain about it.

Because they knew very well that they and Xu Shangyan were not on the same level at all.

If there weren't so many reporters surrounding Xu Shangyan, the Catfish Band would have wanted to go up to say hello and ask for autographs.

…

"Teacher Xu, Teacher Xu...can I ask you a few questions?"

More than a dozen microphones were thrown in front of Xu Shangyan, directly blocking his way.

In this kind of public situation, as a public figure, even if you are very impatient, you cannot show it.

Xu Shangyan maintained a good attitude, smiling and waving hello to reporters.

The assistant next to him said loudly: "Dear friends from the media, Teacher Xu is busy today, so we only have ten minutes, so we will ask selective questions one by one."

When the reporter heard that he only had ten minutes, he pushed forward more and more fiercely, trying to put the microphone in front of Xu Shangyan.

Because there are logos of various media on the microphone, if you put the microphone in front of Xu Shangyan, you will get results.

Moreover, reporters are particularly crazy today.

Because recently, Mailin Records has made a big move, a big move that happens once in five years.

The reporter who was crowded at the front was the first to ask: "Teacher Xu, last month Mailin Records released a photo, which was rumored to be a promotional photo for King of Heaven's MV.

"Is Mailin Records going to release a new album for the king? I remember when you were interviewed last year, you said that you were preparing for a new album. It has been a year. Has the new album been released?"

When Xu Shangyan heard this question, he was not surprised and replied calmly: "Everyone will wait and see."

After Tan Zhiguan swept the three major Golden Melody Awards five years ago and became the king of the music industry in one fell swoop, he did not release a new album for five years.

In fact, this situation is very common in the music industry.

After a singer becomes famous, he will slow down the pace of releasing new albums.

Especially singers at the level of kings and queens. For them, they would rather not release a new album than release an album with poor sales.

After all, when you reach the level of king or queen, you have accumulated many albums and have endless songs to sing during concerts. Even if you don't release a new album, it will not affect your stardom.

However, once a new album is released, if the sales of the new album fail, it will affect the popularity.

Tan Zhiguan is not immune. After sweeping the three major Golden Melody Awards five years ago, he has only sung two film and television theme songs and has not released a new album in five years.

Although Tan Zhiguan is over forty, he is actually considered young among the kings.

Still in his prime, many fans are waiting for his new album.

Since last year, Xu Shangyan and Tan Zhiguan have mentioned in interviews with reporters that they are preparing a new album.

For famous singers, the time to prepare an album is uncertain, it can take one year, two years, or even several years.

Because the songs need to be carefully selected, it is better to go slower and ensure the quality of the songs.

Therefore, since last year, news about Tan Zhiguan's new album has spread on the Internet from time to time, but it is difficult to distinguish the true from the false.

Until last month, the official Weibo of Mailin Records released a photo that looked very much like a still from the MV.

This is equivalent to officially announcing that Tan Zhiguan's new album is coming.

At that time, this MV stills was also on the hot search.

Also starting last month, Xu Shangyan had to answer questions about the new album every time he was blocked by reporters.

He has long been accustomed to dealing with it, and his answer is always: "Everyone will wait and see."

Finally, Xu Shangyan was blocked.

Naturally, these entertainment reporters refused to give up and continued to ask: "Tan Tianwang has not released a new album for five years. Is it because he is worried that the new album will overturn and that the sales volume will not affect his popularity?"

Xu Shangyan looked at the reporter, chuckled and asked, "Have I ever rolled over?"

A reporter nearby who was stirring up news felt that the reporter who asked the question was not sharp at all, so he pressed forward and asked: "Teacher Xu, I heard that the reason why Tan Tianwang released a new album this time is because Pengcheng Capital, the holding company of Mailin Records, has been releasing many records in a row. A project suffered a loss.

"In order to make up for the losses of Pengcheng Capital, Mailin Records has to let Tan Tianwang release a new album to make money, is that right?"

When Xu Shangyan heard this question, his expression stiffened for a moment, but he quickly returned to smiling and replied: "I don't know where such ridiculous rumors came from."

The reporter from Provoking News continued to ask: "We have reliable news channels. The news comes from the financial industry. Please answer directly. Are you trying to make money by using the reputation of the King of Heaven to make money?"

"Nonsense! Regarding Zhiguan's new album, we started preparing it last year and have been preparing it for more than a year." Xu Shangyan immediately snapped.

The reporter who stirred up the news became more and more sharp with his questions, and the reporter next to him took the initiative to give up his position to him.

Because it doesn’t matter who asks the question, as long as the question leads to breaking news and the interview is captured on video, it will make headlines.

The surrounding reporters stepped aside, and the reporter who was stirring up the news stood in front of Xu Shangyan and continued to ask questions: "Mr. Xu, the news I got is not like this.

"I heard that you are not satisfied with the songs of the King's new album. The original plan was to continue preparations for more than half a year, but the holding company of Mailin Records has been losing money continuously and is in urgent need of blood.

"Mailin Records cannot withstand the pressure from the holding company and has no choice but to advance the album release plan in advance, is that right?"

Xu Shangyan said righteously: "I don't know where you heard the rumors. I produced Zhiguan's new album. Every song is carefully selected and full of sincerity. There is no advance plan." .”

The reporter who stirred up the news raised a smile and continued to ask: "I also received news that because the new album plan was advanced, you and Tan Tianwang had a quarrel in the recording studio. Is that right?"

Xu Shangyan immediately denied: "I don't know what you mean by quarreling. Zhiguan and I are both musicians who have very high requirements for music. It is normal to have occasional arguments about music. This exactly represents how we treat our work." Attitude, serious and rigorous.”

The reporter from Provoking News changed the topic and said: "In other words, King of Heaven's new album is indeed coming soon, right? When will it be released specifically? Is it the end of this month? Or early next month?"

Xu Shangyan frowned and realized that he had been bypassed by this reporter.

Although he has been denying the "rumors" mentioned by reporters, this is equivalent to indirectly admitting that the King of Merlin is going to release a new album.

Xu Shangyan took a breath, calmed down, and answered in a very official tone: "We will announce it when the time is right. My time is almost up, if there are no other questions..."

He was already a little impatient, so he didn't want to continue answering reporters' questions.

However, the reporter who stirred up the news did not let him go and continued to ask: "Two days ago, there was news on the Internet that Fang Xing was also going to release a new album. So the album release dates of Fang Xing and Mai Lin will collide. Up?"

Xu Shangyan's eyes sharpened when he heard this question.

In fact, this was not the first time he heard that Fang Xing was going to release an album.

Three days ago.

The news that Fang Xing was going to release a new album had just spread online, and an employee of the company told him the news the next day.

However, there is very little news about Fang Xing's new album. There is only an unknown Weibo account that posted two updates, which are not news released by Songshi Records or Ark Culture at all.

Therefore, there is no accurate information about Fang Xing’s new album.

usually.

According to the habits of major record companies, usually top-tier singers will consciously stagger their release schedules.

After all, singers above the A-list release songs with the intention of reaching the hot song charts.

If two top-tier singers release songs together, the one being compared will be embarrassed.

Of course, there are also some record companies that are originally bitter enemies and will choose to confront them head-on.

For passers-by, they actually want to see singers release songs together and compete for charts together, which is more interesting.

Famous singers above the A-list don't think so. No one wants to become a stepping stone, so in most cases they will miss the release date of their songs.

For this reason, the top five record companies have basically formed a rule for releasing songs, and they release songs in a certain month every year.

Release songs at this time every year, and don’t squeeze other people’s release schedules.

After forming a fixed pattern, there is a tacit understanding between the record companies.

Which company's front-line singer will release a song this month? Everyone will divide their time and not affect each other.

Melin Records usually releases songs at the end of July, and now the time is getting closer, so many people are speculating that Melin King Tan Zhiguan's new album may be coming.

…

The reporter from Provoking News continued to ask: "If Fang Xing also wants to release a song in July, will it coincide with the time of Mai Lin's new album? The competition between Mai Lin and Song Shi has been very fierce in the past two years, and they will compete head-on. Or will you choose a wrong time to release songs? To avoid Fang Xing's sharpness?"

Xu Shangyan replied expressionlessly: "I don't know anything about other singers releasing songs. We at Mailin have our own work plan and will proceed according to the plan."

"What if Fang Xing also chooses to release a new album in July and the schedule is bumped up, Mai Lin will not give in, right? But Mai Lin has already lost to Fang Xing in a music variety show, and it has not been announced yet. When the song is released, will it be changed to avoid Fang Xing?" The reporters who stirred up the news became more and more fierce in asking.

"Please pay attention to the news on Mailin's official Weibo. Thank you all." Xu Shangyan didn't want to talk any more and motioned to the assistant next to him with his eyes.

The assistant immediately stepped forward and separated the crowd: "Everyone, please give way. Teacher Xu is very pressed for time. He just said he only had ten minutes, and now it has exceeded the time limit. Please give way. Thank you everyone for your cooperation."

Xu Shangyan, protected by his assistant, squeezed out of the crowd and walked quickly to the nanny car.

The entertainment reporter behind him refused to give up and chased after him and continued to ask:

"Teacher Xu, are you confident that you can beat Fang Xing on the new album?"

"Will Mailin Records be affected by Pengcheng Capital, causing the quality of King's new album to decline?"

"Teacher Xu, how many songs are there in Tianwang's new album? What types of songs are they in? Can you tell us?"

"The contract between Tian Wang and Mai Lin will expire next year. If there is an unpleasant quarrel over the new album, will it affect the contract renewal between Tian Wang and Mai Lin?"

"Teacher Xu, the news about Fang Xing's new album mentioned that there will be Chinese-style songs. Will the King of Mellin try Chinese-style songs?"

"Mr. Xu, the Chinese style songs that Melin Records recently promoted as a new female singer have not been recognized by fans. Does this mean that Melin Records lacks experience in this new genre of Chinese style?"

The reporters’ questions are all so tricky.

Xu Shangyan didn't answer any more questions, got into the nanny car, and asked the driver to drive away.

He couldn't remember how many years he had not been rendered speechless by a reporter's question.

In the past, when Tan Zhiguan became the new king of the music scene, he also became the most popular music producer in China.

At that time, reporters' interviews were mainly based on flattery, and few reporters dared to ask such tricky questions.

But starting from that damn music variety show last year, the attitude of these entertainment reporters began to change, and the questions they asked became increasingly difficult to answer.
