Chapter 285: Fire spreads all over the world
The final of "The Voice of China 2024" is very popular. Naturally, the songs sung by the singers in the final have also reached a rather alarming level of popularity.
The top ten rankings on major music peak charts, soaring charts, and hot song charts are almost all occupied by songs sung by singers in the "The Voice 2024" finals.
Of course, the two most popular songs are "Beautiful Myth" and "Love the way you lie" sung by Fenghuang Yufei.
However, "Beautiful Myth" is slightly inferior, and "Love the way you lie" is at the top of all major charts.
As the most popular song at the moment, "Love the way you lie" naturally aroused a lot of discussion among netizens.
There are both good and bad reviews.
"It's not my stereotype. Is this song really something that Chinese people can write? It's incredible!"
"Is Bai Xingjian an English speaker? Is there anyone who can check his nationality?"
"Do you still need to check Bai Xingjian's nationality? Just go and search it. Aren't those websites telling you? Bai Xingjian is a pure-blooded Chinese!"
"You don't need to check his nationality. You can check Bai Xingjian's education background instead."
"But he's not an English major! He's really amazing! I have trouble listening to the long lyrics of "Love the way you lie", not to mention that Bai Xingjian, the creator, had to write it. He's really a genius!"
"I think Bai Xingjian should be proficient in Chinese, English and Korean. Otherwise, how could he write these songs?"
"And he's not just practicing in general, he's practicing to the very essence of it. The song 'Love the way you lie' contains a lot of slang, the kind that even English people don't know!"
"Bai Xingjian's talent is unquestionable, but am I the only one who thinks the lyrics of the song "Love the way you lie" are very explicit and violent?"
“不不不!不只是你一个人!《Love the way you lie》的歌词简直就是非常露骨!什么'我揍了她''扯着对方的头发撕扯抓咬扭打成团''我会把她绑到床上然后用火烧掉这房子',妥妥的家庭暴力啊!”
"I was lamenting during a live broadcast that the lyrics of the song "Love the way you lie" were too explicit, but a bunch of crazy fans of Fenghuang Yufei in the live broadcast room scolded me. I really doubt whether they didn't understand English and were fooled by the program team's 'abridged and modified' Chinese translation."
"Those people are already in the fan circle. How much education can you expect from them? They naturally think of whatever the program crew shows them."
"It's really funny. You think you're so great just because you know a few words of English? With such a condescending tone, someone who doesn't know would think you're Celestial Dragons."
"The environment is relaxing. If the production team doesn't harmonize the Chinese translation of the lyrics of Fenghuang Yufei's "Love the way you lie", I think the live broadcast of this program will have to be shut down on the spot."
"Indeed, this has happened before. The lyrics sung by Shantimo, Vanxia, Mars, and Jessica were harmonized when they were translated into Chinese."
"It's their business if they are censored. After all, they are not Chinese singers. But Bai Xingjian is! As a new generation of Chinese singer, the lyrics written by Bai Xingjian will serve as a role model. Let's not talk about hundreds of millions of listeners. Let's talk about the millions of students. What will they think after listening to Fenghuang Yufei's song "Love the way you lie"? Will they learn the violent content in this song?"
"Isn't this simply promoting violence? I really don't know how the production team managed to get this song approved."
"That's right! Fenghuang Yufei has such a huge influence now, and I don't know why Bai Xingjian would write such a song. He is simply tying himself up in knots! Delete this song quickly!"
“I suggest that you remove the song “Love the way you lie” from the shelves! At least this will reduce some of the impact!”
"agreed, agreed!"
There are many negative reviews for the song "Love the way you lie".
The reason is that many music bloggers reacted to this song and made a detailed analysis of "Love the way you lie", so that the accurate Chinese translation of this song began to circulate on the Internet.
Some people have even replaced the Chinese translation of this song on major music platforms with this accurate version, so these more explicit and violent lyrics naturally caused dissatisfaction among some netizens.
Some people just go with the flow, some people just go with the flow, and some people just gloat over other people's misfortunes.
When Bai Xingjian saw these discussions among netizens on Weibo, he was a little shocked.
"They're even promoting violence... Why are netizens this year so critical?"
"But as long as the authorities don't intervene, it shouldn't matter no matter how much they say."
Bai Xingjian is not worried about this. Although the domestic supervision on these things is indeed quite strict, some works are actually turned a blind eye.
It is unlikely that the song "Love the way you lie" would be removed from the shelves because of a few lyrics.
It’s just that the probability is not high, which means there is still a certain probability that it will be taken off the shelves.
After all, Fenghuang Yufei's influence is indeed quite large now. If the public opinion on related topics is stirred up, it will be quite dangerous.
So Bai Xingjian informed Zheng Wei of the situation and asked her to follow up.
The benefits of joining Yehua Entertainment can be seen at this time. Relying on some resources behind the company can sometimes save a lot of trouble.
……
After staying in their new home for three days, Bai Xingjian and Feng Shiqi returned to Shenzhen to visit Feng’s father and mother.
The two also told their elders about their relationship. After hearing the news, Feng's father and mother were very happy and relieved.
That night, Feng's father took Bai Xingjian to drink. The two hit it off immediately and got drunk, which made Feng's mother and Feng Shiqi cover their faces.
Because Bai Xingjian and Feng Shiqi haven't been back for a long time, they both plan to stay in Shenzhen for a while.
While the two of them were enjoying this warmth in Shenzhen, some people became a little anxious.
……
"Old Ji, I'm sorry to say, have you contacted Fenghuang Yufei? It's been three to five days, how come I haven't received any news?"
Li Zongnan's anxious voice came from the other end of the phone.
In recent days, the popularity of Phoenix Flying on the Internet has been gradually declining.
If we don't take advantage of this opportunity to hold the concert, according to the memory of contemporary netizens, Fenghuang Yufei will soon be forgotten.
Why don’t Bai Xingjian and Feng Shiqi understand these principles?
He really has no ambition at all.
Li Zongnan was very distressed.
However, Ji Qiu's idea was completely opposite to his. He patiently explained to Li Zongnan:
"Mr. Li, you can rest assured about the Fenghuang Yufei concert. Now that they have won the championship of "The Voice of China 2024", they will definitely have no trouble selling tickets for the concert. Besides, isn't Bai Xingjian writing the theme song for the movie "The Qin Dynasty" recently? He hasn't completed such an important task yet, and you expect him and Feng Shiqi to hold a concert? One cannot be indecisive, and the same principle applies to doing things!" From the last time Ji Qiu spoke to Li Zongnan until now, he had not urged Bai Xingjian to hold a concert.
The main reason is that there is really no need for this, and even if he urged it, the concert might not be able to be held in a short time.
Who asked Bai Xingjian to write new songs at this time?
After hearing what Ji Qiu said, Li Zongnan suddenly felt like he was shooting himself in the foot.
That’s right, he was obviously anxious to let Fenghuang Yufei hold a concert, so why did he give the task of writing songs for "The Great Qin Dynasty" to Bai Xingjian?
Now, no matter whether Bai Xingjian was deliberately trying to avoid the timing of the concert or for some other reason, he could use the reason of composing the theme song of "The Qin Dynasty" as his excuse.
Li Zongnan patted his forehead and was a little amused by his decision at that time.
What is this called?
After hunting wild geese all day, you finally get your eyes pecked by a wild goose?
However, he now felt that what Ji Qiu said made sense. It seemed that there was really no need to rush Fenghuang Yufei's concert. With Bai Xingjian and Feng Shiqi's current influence and appeal, no matter when the concert was held, tickets would probably be hard to come by. So why rush?
However, the theme song of "The Great Qin Dynasty" is more important at present.
After all, if Bai Xingjian could complete this task, it would be a good thing for everyone.
After all, the good news doesn’t flow to outsiders.
Most people would like to see this money being absorbed internally by Yehua Entertainment.
"What you said is quite right, but you also have to pay attention to Bai Xingjian's writing of the theme song. You can't delay it too much. The creative team of The Qin Dynasty has very high requirements for this theme song. If Bai Xingjian wants to pass the song, it will have to be reworked, so the time is still quite tight."
Li Zongnan replied to Ji Qiu.
However, when Ji Qiu heard this, he just shook his head and smiled.
Reinvent the wheel?
Has Bai Xingjian ever re-written a song?
Absolutely not!
It's just a song played over there. If you want it, take it. If you don't want it, forget it.
As for retraining or something like that, Bai Xingjian had never done such a thing.
However, Ji Qiu did not reveal the inside story, but just responded with a smile.
In addition to these topics, Ji Qiu and Li Zongnan continued chatting for a while, and naturally talked about some controversies caused by Fenghuang Yufei's song "Love the way you lie" on Weibo recently.
Regarding this matter, Li Zongnan smiled and said, "Hey, Old Ji, you can rest assured. We at Yehua Entertainment will definitely not remove such a good piece of music. After all, the song did not violate any rules."
"If this can be removed from the shelves, then I'm afraid that all the blood in domestic movies and TV shows will turn green."
……
Time flies, and it is November in the blink of an eye.
After a while in autumn, the weather became colder.
But compared to the colder weather, many people are having a great time with their lives.
A lot has happened during this time.
The Galaxy Girls who were far away in Corea, after two weeks of competition and fighting, successfully won the first place in Corea's three major music platforms, Music Bank, Music Center and Inkigayo.
When the news came back, many people were shocked.
"Heizi speak!"
"Where are all the people who previously denigrated the song 'Nobody'? Come out and speak up!"
"What? Galaxy Girl won the first place on the three major TV stations with the song "Nobody"? Is this true? You are not lying to me, right?"
"Fuck! And she's one of the top three. Awesome, Galaxy Girl!"
"I had this feeling when the MV of the song "Nobody" exceeded 10 million views on YouTube some time ago. I didn't expect that Xinghe Girls actually won the first place. It's really amazing!"
“The gold content of the first place in the three major channels is indeed not low, but everyone should not only see the first place in the three major channels of Corea. The song "Nobody" is now popular all over the world. The number of views of the MV on YouTube exceeded 100 million a few days ago.”
"That's right! According to inaccurate statistics, there are already over 3000 imitation or adaptation covers of "Nobody" on YouTube. Galaxy Girl has directly gone global! Compared to this, one of the three major channels in Corea is actually nothing."
"Oh my god, is this song by Galaxy Girl so scary?"
"It's more than scary. In our school's December 9th Gala this year, many student groups have expressed their intention to use this song for their performances. The overlap in the programs is so high that the person in charge of the gala can't delete them all."
"It's the same in our school. We can't even compete with them!"
"I just want to say that Bai Xingjian is awesome!"
Previously, because of the relationship between "The Voice 2024" and Park Ji-jae, Starry Girls' "Nobody" did not make much splash in the early days of its release.
Now this song has suddenly become popular all over the world, which has really surprised many people.
In a certain internet celebrity incubation studio in a certain city.
There were a few young people gathered here and there, both men and women, dressed in all kinds of clothes, looking very informal.
On a display board in front of everyone, someone wrote these words:
The reason why "Nobody" became a global hit.
The young people in the back were talking at once and expressing their opinions.
“Personally, I think the popularity of the song ‘Nobody’ is due to the traffic of Fenghuang Yufei. If Fenghuang Yufei hadn’t sung the song ‘Love the way you lie’ on the final stage of ‘The Voice of China 2024’, which caused some response in America across the ocean, ‘Nobody’ wouldn’t have suddenly attracted so much attention.”
"You're wrong. Before the finals of The Voice 2024 began, the MV for Nobody had already exceeded million views on YouTube. This shows that Nobody itself has a huge flow of traffic, and it is definitely not due to anything else."
"It is true that Phoenix Yufei played a certain positive role in Nobody's global popularity, but it is not the main reason. The main reason is the song itself. The catchy melody is never boring, and the simple dance moves are easy to understand and learn. It can be said that anyone with no dance skills can learn it. This is why there are so many imitation videos on YouTube."
"So if our studio wants to replicate the success of this song, these aspects may be the focus of our study."
