Entertaining Children

  Chapter 458 Overseas Issuance

  After the second monthly exam is over, the time enters December. December is the last month of the Gregorian calendar, which means that by the end of the year, the major performance markets will start to liven up again. Artists who are not well-known began to fight for performance opportunities everywhere, while popular artists waited to be contested by various performance units. This has been the case throughout the years.

  After releasing a new album last year, Xiao Yao wrote more songs to others than he sang. Counting the songs he participated in the chorus, that is, "Maiba" in the New Year's Eve party, "The Great Wall" in the electronic music program, "Lucky" in the flash mob with fans, and "Yan Jing in the art examination room" "One Night", "Flying Higher" when the art test was unveiled, and "You at the same table" in the quiz show, these songs are all recorded in the official version, plus the song "Love Is Not Alive" sung to Sun Tingting in the United States. "And the spoof video "American Airlines broke my guitar" two songs that have not yet been recorded in the official version, and the number is not enough for an official album.

Like the songs on the previous album, these few songs are from folk, rock, Beijing rhyme, rap, electronic music, pop dance music, love songs, and other styles. I want to make Xiao Yao win the best album award. Xiao Siqi also learned the lesson that Xiao Yao's first album was too mixed in style, and was not in a hurry to let Xiao Yao gather for his second album.

Although there is no official release of the second new album this year, whether it is the songs he sings or writes to other singers, the songs he composed have achieved very good response. The performances in front of and behind the scenes of two music reality shows , The incident of catching thieves on the subway, the strange behavior of taking fans to play flash, the titles of two champions, the performance of the two champions in puzzle quiz programs, especially a spoof video that caused the stock price of an American airline to fall The popular international event of public apology has made Xiao Yao a topical figure throughout the year.

  Although Xiao Yao is now a freshman in the Department of Performance of Shen Opera, his identity as a singer is still there. With his enthusiasm over the past year, he is naturally the target of various performance units.

According to Xiao Yao’s fame and popularity, ordinary performances will not rashly throw an olive branch to Xiao Yao and dare to invite Xiao Yao to perform. There are only a few New Year’s Eve program groups on Star TV. .

  This year’s New Year’s Eve, several highly competitive Shanghai Satellite TV also sent Xiao Yao an invitation to participate in the New Year’s Eve performance at the beginning of the party’s preparations. Last year, Xiao Yao took two singers from the studio and a folk orchestra to perform five repertoires at the New Year's Eve of Shonan Satellite TV. The group had a sense of existence and the effect was very good. The program groups of several satellite TV New Year's Eve parties also specifically stated in the performance invitation: Xiao Yao is welcome to design the program content himself, and once again bring the singers and musicians from his studio to form a group to perform.

  Mainly requires a singer-to-n group to participate in the performance, which was unimaginable in previous year’s performance preparations. But the program groups of these satellite TVs have done so. In addition to the good results of last year's program and everyone's confidence in Xiao Yao's program design, another reason is that all the artists in the music field of Qijia Studio are all the most popular singers and musicians.

  At this time last year, "Women's Band" and Chen Chen were just newcomers with average fame not long after their debut. However, these two groups of artists later appeared on the Spring Festival Gala that year, and this year's development was also quite smooth, and their reputation is already beyond criticism. Needless to say, Xiao Siqi, Xiao Yao, and Fan Linxuan’s own fame goes without saying. Even Gong Chen, who joined this year, is supported and escorted by Xiao Yao’s songs, with his amazing performance and single sales in two music reality shows. Her popularity this year is even worse than last year's Fan Linxuan and several draft champions this year. Any group of singers or musicians in this studio will participate in their family's New Year's Eve party alone. There is no problem with their reputation. If they come in a group, they will only be happier.

  One month of military training and two months of study, Xiao Yao has been a student for three months in peace, and at this time he had already had some quiet and extreme thoughts. In particular, after two consecutive months of monthly exams, Xiao Yao got the first overall score of the whole department. Xiao Yao felt that there was no problem in his studies, and he was more eager to try without any worries. I participated in the New Year's Eve party last year to help the studio’s "girls' band" to promote the party. This year, when Fang still reported a bunch of performance invitations for the New Year’s Eve party, Xiao Yao wanted to play for himself.

   "Then which satellite TV will we attend the New Year's Eve party?" Fang still asked Xiao Yao.

  I heard that Xiao Yao was willing to participate in the New Year's Eve party. Fang, who had been idle for several months, and Pei Minyi, who had been completely idle for several months, were very happy. However, all the top five Shanghai Star TVs have sent Xiao Yao performance invitations. In addition to deciding whether to participate in the TV’s New Year's Eve party, Xiao Yao also has to decide which one to attend.

It can be said that the performance on Xiangnan Satellite TV last year was very good. The cooperation between his studio and Xiangnan Satellite TV has been good. There is also an old acquaintance like Wang Yuan and Wang Uncle as the leader. How much care and convenience can be given, Xiangnan Satellite TV should be Xiao Yao’s Preferred. But with Xiao Yao's character, how could it be so boring.

   "We will go to Shanghai Donghai TV for this year's New Year's Eve party." Xiao Yao obviously has already thought about it.

   "Are you sure?" Fang still looked at Xiao Yao and said, "We have never been to Donghai TV Station."

"I just have to go." Xiao Yao started counting the family, "Xiangnan Satellite TV went to the New Year's Eve party last year, and it's boring to go to Uncle Wang always. "Good Voice" is from Zhejiang East Satellite TV. "One Stop to the End" is owned by Sunan Satellite TV, and "The Poetry Conference" is owned by Yanjing Satellite TV. Four of the top five satellite TVs have been shown to me, except that I have not been to Donghai Satellite TV. And I am here now. When I go to university in Shencheng, I am familiar with the local TV station, and it is very appropriate to have a good relationship."

   "It makes sense." Fang still nodded. Anyway, with Xiao Yao's temperament, there are no problems such as recognition of birth, unacceptable conditions, and difficulty in cooperation. This way, cooperation with a TV station that he has never been to can better expand his network resources in the circle.

"What about the program?" Fang continued to ask, "The program team said they hope you will continue to perform with the studio's singers and musicians, and also listed some repertoires that you want you to perform. But they also said that the performance was You can also set the repertoire yourself. If you have any requirements, you can tell them in advance that they will try their best to arrange and prepare, but they still have to review the content and quality of the program.

"The review is okay. This is the proper process. I also believe that the content and quality of my program are okay." Xiao Yao nodded, "But even if you form a group, I played it once last year, and I won't play it this year. Really want to. For a family concert, it’s better to let my dad arrange a venue to organize a real family concert. I’m going to bring Gong Chen to collaborate on a song this year, and then make a separate show on my own. I don’t care about the other singers and musicians in the studio. If you want to ask Donghai TV, let them contact them by themselves. Anyway, our program can't connect. Please help me contact Gong Chen's agent, Yuzhi, to ask about Gong Chen's schedule. If it doesn't work, I will show two separate shows by myself. "

"That's right." Xiao Yao added, "I'm working with Gong Chen on a new song. Gong Chen has to spare at least a week to practice running-in with me. You can help me, Gong Chen, and sister Yuzhi, to make it clear. Let them arrange the schedule. Also, I am a student, so I can only trouble General Gong Chen to come to Shencheng to rehearse on me."

"If you have a new song to work with Gong Chen, they will rush over if the schedule is occupied and will push over the activities during the schedule." Fang still smiled, "It's just that you are cooperating with Gong Chen again? You are not afraid that Chen Chen and Fan Linxuan will be jealous. Huh? You forget the old when you have a new one." After getting along for so long, Fang would have been able to joke with Xiao Yao more casually a long time ago.

   "Well, it's an electronic music YS brand song. This song is in the same style as "faded". Fan Linxuan is not suitable, and Chen Chen has nothing to say."

  ""Faded"? Aren't we talking with American record companies about the overseas release of this song? Are you trying to add a bargaining chip to the negotiation?" Fang still immediately thought of Xiao Yao's purpose.

   "Yes, this is to let them know that YS's electronic music is definitely not a flash in the pan. If I can write a song like this, I can write the second one." Xiao Yao said with a smile.

  When Xiao Yao put the four versions of "faded" on the video website PV in the United States, the number of hits for these versions of MVs has been steadily rising. It's just that the protagonist in the video has always been masked. Although everyone feels very good about the MV of this song, the popularity of YS, a name that is not known in the music world, especially the electronic music world, is still limited.

  When Xiao Yao proposed to Keith Craig’s band to shoot the MV for "sugar" during the summer vacation in the United States, he mentioned that he had filmed the MV before, and also found out the videos of these MVs for them to see. At that time, Keith Craig mainly watched the content of the two MVs of Xiao Yao. As a rock musician, he didn't have any special feelings about that electronic song at the beginning. After the American Airlines incident, Keith Craig, who became more and more admired by Xiao Yao, turned out Xiao Yao's own MV and watched it several times. After repeated listening and feeling, Keith Craig found that he also liked Xiao Yao's song. So he reposted the MV of the song on his social account and recommended it to his fans.

Keith Craig had previously reposted Xiao Yao’s spoof song video "American Airlines broke my guitar". When I reposted the MV video of this song this time, people naturally thought of writing them "sugar". "The body of Xiao Yao. It just so happened that Betty Belet also revealed that Xiao Yao is a young talented photographer she met on the Eva show. The photographer's work is signed by YS, and the author of this song is also called YS, a stringed MV actor. There is also a unique letter logo on the clothes. Everyone realized that the author of the song and the masked man in this MV turned out to be the talented Chinese musician and photographer, the guy who made American Airlines bow his head with a spoof video.

  So, more and more people know and like this song. "Faded", which has been accumulated for a long period of time, has seen a significant increase in the number of hits in the United States and even Europe. This song has also spread from a small number of electronic and string lovers to the ears of ordinary public music fans.

  This situation naturally attracted the attention of some record companies in the United States. Xiao Yao only released the audio file of this song on some music websites for trial listening and downloading, but did not release a physical single disc, so some record companies started the idea of ​​releasing a physical single record of this song. Although the full official version of the audio can be downloaded online, it is not possible to release physical records without the permission of the original author. Don’t think this guy is just a young Chinese, but he has a strong relationship with the top American stars like Keith Craig. Some time ago, through a video, the stock price of an airline company fell. The head of the company faced The media apologized in public. Obviously, it is not a master who can be manipulated at will. So a record company contacted Xiao Yao through Keith Craig and Betty Belet and discussed the official global release of the song.

The distribution of   Hua Xia area Xiao Yao is naturally reserved for his own studio, so Xiao Yao instructed Fang to still negotiate with the US record company he found only for overseas distribution outside China. The negotiations have not yet concluded, and the two sides are still in the bargaining stage. So Xiao Yao just wanted to make another song with a similar style to add some more bargaining chips to the party's still negotiations.
