Writing about entertainment was approached by a female villain archetype

Chapter 214
Speaking of the ranking rules of the US Billboard chart, many people in China may not know it.

To put it simply, this list captures sales, streaming data, radio playback, music reviews and other factors. After calculating a point through a formula, this point is used to rank.

Therefore, when doing promotion, you have to combine some factors and invest in multiple dimensions, so that the effect will be better.

But this thing is indeed a bit difficult to understand for a while.

Therefore, for many domestic listeners who do not use foreign music software and cannot listen to radio stations.

When the Billboard charts are not updated, the most intuitive way to know how a song is received on the Internet is to search YouTube for related videos of the song.

First check to see if there are many related videos, and then look at the playback data and comment area of ​​these videos.

to be frank.

At this time, whether it is Xu Chuan, Yuan Meng, or the group of people in China who are bragging about Sanger.They all underestimated the potential of this song abroad.

The cause of all this should be the day after the song was released.

There is a video blogger on YouTube who is very well-known and has a lot of fans. His ID is translated as "Alice at Six O'Clock".Without any business cooperation, I took the initiative to make a reaction video of Qiu Yicheng's new song.

Why should we emphasize that there is no business cooperation?
Because when Xu Chuan and Yuan Meng were discussing promotion, they had already found some relevant bloggers to cooperate, but the time was too short, and the videos of these people had not yet been produced.

In other words, the video made by "Alice at Six O'Clock" is the first creative content of Qiu Yicheng's new song.

Speaking of which, this blogger usually produces a wide range of video content, but she initially made music-related content, so she is quite influential in music promotion.

The reason why she posted this video is actually very simple.Because she is openly a lesbian.

Therefore, after she saw that Qiu Yicheng, who had the same label as her, released a new song, she instinctively wanted to listen to it.

Due to her professional nature, she set up a camera to record her reaction to the song, thinking that if the effect was good, she could make a video directly.

Originally she had the attitude of giving it a try, but after the recording, she felt it was very necessary to recommend this song to everyone.

Within an hour after her video was released, Xu Chuan watched it.

Clicking on the video, she opened the video and said to the camera: "Okey, what we are going to do today is a reaction video to a song, this song comes from Ora, a well-known female singer in China.

I need to emphasize that this is my first time listening to Ora's work.Before that, my understanding of her was that she was a free female representative who bravely pursued true love and received blessings from the public.

Although my knowledge of her is extremely limited, I think that her ability to gain so much love from so many audiences in China must be inseparable from her excellent works.

But she is a non-English speaking singer after all.And this song is an English song, so it may have some deviations in style from the music we are familiar with.

If you don't like it, please keep a tolerant attitude towards Ora, an excellent female singer.Of course, I am a professional music critic.

I will still objectively explain my inner feelings, as well as the advantages and problems of this song.So, next, let us try to listen to this piece called "Far From Home". "

With the end of her opening.

Soon the intro was played simultaneously with the MV.

"Wow~~The intro is very rhythmic, and although the melody is a bit simple, it is very catchy. It is much better than I expected."

Soon, the prelude ended and Qiu Yicheng's singing sounded.

As mentioned before, Qiu Yicheng's singing has a very obvious characteristic, that is, there is a sense of contentment and relaxation.

This kind of relaxation can be felt in the sweet song, as if it is expressing love to the audience, and it also seems like telling the audience the thoughts of a little girl.

And in sad songs, there will be a feeling of freedom and ease.This sense of freedom and ease allowed her to add a bit of storytelling to the song.

This singing quality of hers is quite obvious in "Far From Home".

Ever since, [Six O'Clock Alice], who had a try attitude, immediately changed her expression the moment Qiu Yicheng opened her mouth.

After the first part was played, she paused and said to the camera: "I actually want to say something to you at this time, but I still want to listen to the song in its entirety before commenting."

After saying this, she started playing again, this time after the entire song was played.

She was obviously excited. She was seen in front of the camera, gesturing with her hands and saying with an exaggerated expression: "From a professional point of view, this is actually a fairly simple song.

Its rhythm and melody haven't changed much from beginning to end.But, you know, whether a song is good or not doesn't depend on how complex it is.

From a listening perspective, this song gave me a pretty good experience and gave me enough memory points.

Secondly, the lyrics of this song are also very simple. How should I describe it? It is like a poem written by a 12 or 13-year-old child.

Mind you, what I want to express to you is that I really, really, really love this simple lyric.Because of the sentimental, violent, crime, bad taste and all the other elements in the songs we usually hear.

None of it appears in this song. It expresses the mood of a child missing his hometown somewhere. This mood is so simple. I love this simple feeling.

The most important thing is that Ora's way of expressing this song is also genius-level You know!Because she didn't add any tricks into it.

Believe me, I swear on God, if she had added some tricks, this song would be a lot less impressive.

Finally, I think the person who created this MV is also a genius.As you can see, the theme of the MV is a car driving on the road.Apart from the changing scenery, there is no other element.

It is precisely this approach of not mixing in other elements that made me more immersed in the 'simplicity' of this song. My mood unconsciously drifted to my hometown following the singing and the car..."

To be honest, Xu Chuan watched this blogger dance and comment on the song in the video.

There are only seven words in my heart, that is, "This eldest sister really knows how to praise"!
Xu Chuan felt that if he were to make this video, although he could pull something out, it would definitely not be like this blogger.

Such a boastful video was naturally seen by the domestic Internet bloggers who have been carrying YouTube videos related to our country all year round.

Translate and add subtitles, and then add screenshots of high-quality comments in the comment area at the bottom for scrolling.One video is enough.

Then, the video data of this transfer exploded, and the comments in the comment area were increasing every minute.

Many people can’t remember the last Chinese singer who was so praised by well-known foreign bloggers for a while.

The key is that it’s not just this blogger who is boasting.In the comment area of ​​this blogger, there are a lot of positive comments.

Of course, there are also those who don’t believe it. They think that the blogger who uploaded the video picked a good one from a bunch of scolding videos.

They don't believe from the bottom of their hearts that Qiu Yicheng's songs can be liked by the general public in the United States.

Then came the slap in the face, because I was watching videos of moving bloggers in China.Secondary videos of Qiu Yicheng’s new songs are popping up one after another on YouTube.

As the saying goes, distance creates beauty, just like what Alice at Six O'Clock said, their knowledge of Qiu Yicheng is extremely limited.

Because of the limitations, it is impossible to attack her from various angles like the domestic black men.

Because of the unfamiliarity, everyone focused more on the music.

As long as they focus on music, this song, which has received so much praise on earth, will never let them down.

In addition, some of these second-generation bloggers are paid, and they can only give positive reviews.

In addition, there is a group of people with the same label who have to verbally support Qiu Yicheng regardless of whether the song is good or not.

Due to the combination of various factors, the current reviews of this song on YouTube are basically positive.The only difference is that some are boastful and some are less boastful.

As a domestic moving blogger, he naturally knows what the audience wants to see most.

What's the point of the less boastful one?
If you want to see it, just watch it with great bragging.

Anyway, there are a lot of related videos on YouTube now, so you can definitely carry them around.

Under this circumstance, the entry #Qiu Yicheng’s New Song America is Hot# immediately appeared on the hot search lists on major platforms.

Not only that, overseas media also reported on it.

There are various titles such as [Ora’s new song sparks heated discussion among YouTube bloggers] and [Listen to the singing voice of Ora, a free female representative from China].

These news were soon brought back to China.

For a time, Qiu Yicheng's fans were really celebrating the New Year.

At the same time, Yuan Meng saw in the office that public opinion had become like this.

I really couldn't help but said to the secretary: "I knew there would be people helping Qiu Yicheng to promote Qiu Yicheng without spending any money. Why should we spend that unjust money?"

"Haha, spending some money will give you peace of mind."

Hearing this, Yuan Meng showed a dumbfounded expression and said: "Really, with Qiu Yicheng's current level of public opinion, there is not much difference between her with our help in publicity and without our help in publicity."

"What if Mr. Xu is anxious to release the song at this time? He must have guessed this time. Because Qiu Yicheng has a special status, it will definitely arouse a response."

"Damn, I feel so unfulfilled. I finally promoted such a popular song, but in the end it has little to do with us."

"Hahahahahaha." The secretary couldn't help laughing after hearing this.

After laughing for a while, she asked curiously: "Mr. Yuan, you said that when the Billboard charts are released in a few days, what ranking will Qiu Yicheng's new song get?"

"I don't know. Anyway, it's definitely not the 70 we originally thought of." Yuan Meng shook his head.

Here Yuan Meng and his secretary are discussing in the office.

On the other side, people from Ziyi Media are also discussing.

"No, is this bad song that good? Why is it so popular all of a sudden?"

"It's hard to comment on this matter. Whether the song is good or not is a factor. The key is that Qiu Yicheng became popular on the Internet for no reason before. Now that the popularity is catching up with the popularity, it is normal for it to become popular."

"What should I say? Qiu Yicheng has such a good relationship with that boy Xu Chuan. We used to praise her a few words to try to get rid of Xu Chuan. Now she is like this.

Should we think of some way to pour cold water on this?You can't just watch her become an international singer inexplicably, right? "

"To be honest, we definitely can't stop her popularity abroad. If she releases a few good English songs in the future, then she will really become an international singer. However, you must pour cold water on her. . We can’t control her becoming an international singer, but we can’t make her too comfortable. I think that’s the case. Let’s stick to the original idea.

It is emphasized that the reason why Qiu Yicheng is so popular is because of Sanger. Without Sanger, she would definitely not have this ability. "

"I also think this is the best. Think about it, isn't the relationship between Qiu Yicheng and Xu Chuan good? If the Internet is praising Sanger, what will Xu Chuan think?
As time goes by, the two people will definitely have a rift.If you instigate them again at that time, those two people are likely to fall out directly. It would be fun if they fell out. "

"Not bad, not bad. I'm starting to look forward to the scene where Qiu Yicheng and Xu Chuan fall out, hahahahaha."

After the discussion of these people, and also on the initiative of Xu Chuan Heizi.Under the news reports related to Qiu Yicheng, many similar comments appeared one after another.

[The most amazing thing is Sanger. As long as you find someone who can sing this song that is not unpleasant to listen to, it will get some good responses abroad. I don’t know what you are playing.]

[Isn’t this brought by a foreign father?With this thigh, another dog would be able to get it red. 】

[Hey, when I saw this, I remembered those people who boasted about Xu Laosan’s talent. At that time, he almost boasted that he was the best in the world.Now it seems that this talent is specially for domestic use]

To be honest, many people feel quite uncomfortable when faced with such comments, but they don’t know how to refute them at the moment.

But when there are more people, there are talents of all kinds.

Soon everyone came up with some rebuttal techniques.

For example, if Sanger is so good, why haven’t there been any Chinese singers who have collaborated with him and become famous outside the country?

It was also emphasized that Qiu Yicheng was already famous on the Internet.

The better way to refute these people's accusations against Xuchuan is to ask that Sanger to write a Chinese song.

Of course, some things are inherently unclear.

If this Sanger is really not Xu Chuan.As for why Qiu Yicheng became famous abroad, and who is more awesome between Xu Chuan and Sanger, I will never understand it for the rest of my life.

Now everyone still doesn’t know that Xu Chuan is Sanger, so the public opinion on the Internet is also at the stage of confusion.

"Should Sanger's identity be made public?" This question once again appeared in Qiu Yicheng's mouth.

Xu Chuan's answer was still: "No, on the one hand it may affect your current grades. Secondly, since you are misunderstood now, someone will jump out and want to cause trouble.

We really have to pick the right time to smash these people's faces in.The more they talk now, the more their faces will hurt when they are beaten in the future.

It hurts their faces. If they want to use this to disparage domestic musicians in the future, they have to weigh whether they will fall over again. "

Time passes day by day amid this public opinion.

It has been six days since Qiu Yicheng released a song, which means that the US Billboard will announce the list for the new week.

This matter still attracted a lot of people's attention.

Needless to say, colleagues.

Even many netizens who usually have no idea about American bulletin boards have become interested in this matter due to waves of popular science from Qiu Yicheng's fans.

"Where do you think you can be ranked?" In an office of Meiquan Culture Company in Shanghai, a man and a woman were sitting together chatting while waiting for the ranking to open.

The woman who just spoke was Remy.She is 31 years old, has a similar figure to Lexue, and both are mature and graceful types.

The man's name is Xu Huazhang, he is older than Remy, 33 years old.Although he is not handsome, his temperament is outstanding, and he has the air of a rich young man and a successful person.

After hearing Remi's question, Xu Huazhang smiled slightly and said: "It must be in the top [-], this song is really popular on the Internet now.

This is not like those idols who used to spend a week on the charts. In fact, no one at home or abroad has ever heard of it.

Moreover, there are not many strong singers issuing orders during this period, so it is easier for her to achieve results. "

"Qiu Yicheng's luck is really unlucky. First she became popular abroad for no apparent reason, and then she immediately came across a song that suited her.

Tsk tsk tsk, it’s her turn to be angry, really, it would be unreasonable if she wasn’t. Remy said and laughed.

"Tell me, how much contribution did Xu Chuan have in this matter?"

"What do you think? Do you think Qiu Yicheng and her own team have such a strong ability to seize opportunities? This matter was 100% planned by Xu Chuan." Remi said matter-of-factly.

"Ha, hahaha." As soon as he said this, Xu Huazhang couldn't stop laughing.

"What are you laughing at?" Remy asked confused.

"Do you think Xu Chuan shot herself in the foot this time? She planned a plan for her good friend. But in the end, she gained nothing.

Instead, it gave those idiots from Ziyi a point to attack him.The key is this point, I don’t know how he is going to eliminate it?There will always be people talking about this in the future. Xu Huazhang said with a hint of ridicule.

"According to this, the higher Qiu Yicheng's ranking is in this ranking, the more embarrassing Xu Chuan will be?"

"Otherwise, the higher the ranking, the more embarrassed he will be. For him, it is best for Qiu Yicheng to have a big thunder and a small rain this time. This way he can still regain some respect."

"Hahaha, that's really tragic." Hearing this, Remy couldn't help laughing.

After laughing for a while, she said seriously: "There is accurate news that the 10 billion advance fund was taken over by Xu Chuan. To be honest, I am not worried about giving this money to others. But Xu Chuan is a man who can cause trouble. of.

So we take over the resources from our side as soon as possible. Those idiots succeed more than they succeed, and the Korean line is almost cleared out.

We cannot let internal entertainment escape our control. If everyone jumps like Xu Chuan, there may be problems with the owner’s value output and public opinion front in the future. "

"Okay, don't worry too much." When Xu Huazhang heard this, he frowned slightly and looked a little unhappy.

Without waiting for Remi's reply, he continued: "To be honest, Xu Chuan is not worthy of such attention. He is a poor boy from the countryside.

He is a bit smart, has good luck, and has some talent, but his background determines that his structure is too small and his vision is too narrow.I think he never understood the situation.

He has no idea who is the boss in this world.What he is doing now is all against the trend. Even if we don't care about him, he will have to finish himself off.

Remy, you have to remember that no one person, no organization, no country can ever fight against our master! Never possible! ! "

Hearing Xu Huazhang's words, Remi did not reply, but just kept smiling and nodded.

Although they both have the surname Xu, the Xu Huazhang in front of him has a much better background than Xu Chuan.

Of course, it is much better than my own.

Thinking of this, Remy changed the subject and said, "Why haven't the rankings been released yet? I'm impatient to wait."

At the same time, in a large office building in Longgang District, Pengcheng, a working group was also staring at the data from the American Bulletin Board.

"Still not open?" a girl asked.

"The time is almost up. I'm so tired of waiting for things."

"Hey, Lao Yu said it would be fine if he could get into the top ten, right?"

"Yes, the top ten will be fine, but I'm guessing. Qiu Yicheng is our singer after all. In the past 10 years, no singer from our side has ever been able to get into the top ten of HOT100."

"I think Lao Yu is just saying it. Whether she is in the top ten or not does not affect us in finding her as an endorser. Indeed, there is no more suitable young artist than her. She even endorsed Rolls-Royce back then."

"makes sense."

"Hey, the list is open. The list is open." While chatting, someone suddenly said.

As soon as these words came out, everyone asked "what number?" and put their heads in front of the computer screen.

After a second.

"Fuck, awesome!!"

“It’s really awesome!!”

"Qiu Yicheng is cheating this year. Isn't it true that China and the United States are blooming?"

"Hurry up and inform Lao Yu that Qiu Yicheng ranks second on the Billboard singles chart."

This news was naturally seen by Xu Huazhang and Remi.After seeing it, Xu Huazhang said with an expression as if he was constipated: "Is it so fierce? Just take second place?"

"Isn't this a good thing? How embarrassing is Xu Chuan?"

"Xu Chuan's embarrassment belongs to Xu Chuan's embarrassment, but Qiu Yicheng, a Chinese woman, has never done anything for her family members, so she just took second place. I always feel that it is a bit inappropriate. You have other duties to serve. What do people think?”

"Hua Zhang, do you think it's possible that her actual point is Zhou Guan?" Remi thought for a while and then said.

As soon as these words came out, Xu Huazhang couldn't help but blink his eyes rapidly several times.Obviously, he was thinking about the possibility that Remy said.

Soon, news began to appear on the Internet that Qiu Yicheng ranked second on the US Billboard Weekly Singles Chart.

Just like what the people in the working group just said.

In the past 10 years, Chinese singers have never been in the top ten, let alone second place.

Qiu Yicheng can be regarded as breaking history this time.

For a time, the Internet was abuzz.

The entry #QIUYicheng US Billboard Weekly Chart No. [-]# is soaring up the hot lists on various platforms like a rocket.

Another hour or two passed, and Xu Chuan, who was checking the public opinion situation, received a call from Yuan Meng.

It was said that a large company in Pengcheng contacted her and asked Sanger to write an English advertising song for them to use as promotional materials for their global new product launch this year.

Oh, by the way, this big company is called Huawei.

It is better off than its twin on Earth, and has not yet been sanctioned.
