After the end of the second monthly examination, time into December. December is the last month of the Gregorian calendar year, that is to say, the end of the year, and the major performance markets will start to be lively again. Artists who are not well-known begin to fight for performance opportunities everywhere, while popular artists are waiting to be contested by various performing units.
After his new album was released last year, Xiao Yao wrote more songs to others than he sang. His own choral songs, including "Macbeth" at the new year''s Eve, Great Wall in the TV program, how lucky it is to play flash with fans, one night in Yanjing in the art examination room, fly higher when the art examination was unveiled, and "you at the same table" in the knowledge competition program, were recorded in the official version, and sung to sun Ting alone in the United States Ting''s "you have to" and spoof video "American Airlines broke my guitar" these two songs have not recorded the official version, the number is not enough for an official album.
Like the songs in the last album, these songs are all from folk songs, rock and roll, Beijing rhyme, rap, electronic music, pop dance, love songs. Xiao Siqi, who wants to win the best album Award for Xiao Yao, has also learned from the teaching that Xiao Yao''s first album is too mixed in style, and is not in a hurry to let Xiao Yao work out a second album.
Although there is no official release of the second new album this year, his songs, whether he sings or writes to other singers, have achieved very good repercussions, including the performance of two music reality shows in front of and behind the stage, the case of catching a thief on the subway, the wonderful behavior of playing flash games with pink silk, the titles of two number one talents, and two intellectual contest festivals Xiao Yao became a hot topic throughout the year because of his performance in the special series, especially the international hot event that a spoof video caused the stock price of an American airline to fall and made a public apology.
Although Xiao Yao is now a freshman in the performance Department of Shenxi opera, his identity as a singer is still there. With his popularity in the past year, he is naturally the target of various performing units.
According to Xiao Yao''s fame and popularity, ordinary performances will not rashly throw an olive branch to Xiao Yao, and only a few new year''s Eve program groups on Star TV dare to offer performance invitation to Xiao Yao.
This year''s new year''s party, several more competitive star satellite TV also issued an invitation to Xiao Yao to participate in the new year''s party performance at the beginning of the party preparation. Last year, Xiao Yao, together with two singers and a folk music troupe from his studio, performed five pieces in a row at the new year''s Eve Party of Xiangnan satellite TV. The group showed a sense of existence and the effect was very good. The program groups of several satellite TV''s new year''s Eve party also made a special note 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 perform together.
It''s unimaginable to ask a group of singers to participate in the performance in previous years. But the program groups of these satellite TV stations have all done so. In addition to the good effect of last year''s program and our confidence in Xiao Yao''s program design, another reason is that the artists in Qijia studio are all popular singers and musicians.
At this time of last year, "women''s music square" and Chen Chen were just new people who had just started their career. But these two groups of artists later boarded the Spring Festival Gala, this year''s development is also quite smooth, fame is beyond reproach. Needless to say, Xiao Siqi, Xiao Yao and fan linxuan are well-known. Even Gong Chen, who joined this year, is more popular this year than fan linxuan last year and several champions of this year''s talent show, thanks to Xiao Yao''s amazing performance and single sales in two reality music shows. If any group of singers or musicians in this studio attend their new year''s party alone, they will have no problem in fame. If they come together, they will only be more happy.
After one month of military training and two months of study, Xiao Yao has been a student for three months. At this time, he has already had some thoughts. In particular, after two consecutive months of monthly examination, Xiao Yao won the first place in the total score of the whole department. He felt that he had no problem in his studies, and he was even more eager to try without worries. Last year, Xiao Yao attended the new year''s Eve party to help the studio''s "women''s music workshop" promote the party. This year, when he heard that Fang still offered a bunch of performance invitation for the new year''s Eve party, Xiao Yao wanted to play for himself.
"Which satellite TV''s new year''s Eve party shall we attend?" Fang still asked Xiao Yao.
It''s said that Xiao Yao is willing to attend the new year''s Eve party. Fang, who has been idle for several months, and Pei Minyi, who has been completely idle for several months, are very happy. However, all the top five satellite TV stations have sent performance invitation to Xiao Yao. In addition to deciding whether to attend the new year''s Party of satellite TV, Xiao Yao also has to decide which company to attend.
It is said that he performed very well on Xiangnan satellite TV last year. The cooperation between his studio and Xiangnan satellite TV has always been good. With Wang Yuan and Uncle Wang as the leader, he can give some care and convenience. Xiangnan satellite TV should be Xiao Yao''s first choice. But with Xiao Yao''s character, how can it be so boring.
"For this year''s new year''s Eve, let''s go to Donghai satellite TV in Shencheng." 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''ll go only if I haven''t been there." Xiao Yao began to count every family. "Xiangnan satellite TV went to the new year''s Eve party last year. It''s boring to go to Uncle Wang. "Good voice" belongs to Zhedong satellite TV, "one stop to the end" belongs to Sunan satellite TV, "poetry conference" belongs to Yanjing satellite TV. Four of the top five satellite TV stations I''ve shown up, only Donghai satellite TV station I haven''t been to. Moreover, I am now studying at University in Shencheng. I am familiar with the local TV stations. It''s very necessary for me to have a good relationship with them. "
"It makes sense." Fang still nodded. In any case, with Xiao Yao''s temperament, there are no such problems as recognition of life, acclimatization, and difficulty in cooperation. In this way, cooperation with TV stations 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 want you to continue to perform with the singers and musicians in the studio. They also listed some tracks that they want you to perform. However, they also said that you can decide the repertoire of the performance by yourself. If you have a request, you can tell them in advance. They try their best to arrange the preparation, but they still need to check the content and quality of the program. "
"There is no problem with the audit. This is the proper process. I also believe that the content and quality of my program are OK." Xiao Yao nodded, "but it''s OK to form a group. I played once last year, but I won''t play this year. If we really want to hold a family concert, we might as well let my father arrange a venue to organize a real family concert. This year, I''m going to take Gong Chen to work on a song together, and then I''m going to have a single program. I don''t care about the other singers and musicians in the studio. If Donghai satellite TV wants to contact them, they can''t connect our programs anyway. You help me to contact sister Yuzhi, Gong Chen''s agent, and ask about Gong Chen''s schedule. If not, I''ll go on two programs by myself. "
"That''s right." Xiao Yao added, "Gong Chen and I are working on new songs. Gong Chen has to spare at least a week to practice running in with me. You can help me and Gong Chen and sister Yuzhi to make it clear and let them arrange the schedule. Besides, I''m a student. I can only trouble Gong Chen to make do with me and come to Shencheng for rehearsal. "
"If you have a new song to cooperate with Gong Chen, even if their schedule is occupied, they will push off the activities in the schedule and come here." Fang still said with a smile, "but are you cooperating with Gong Chen again? Are you not afraid that Chen Chen and fan linxuan are jealous? You forget the old when you have new people. " After such a long time together, Fang can still make fun of Xiao Yao more casually.
"Well, it''s a ys brand song. This song and "faded" are the same style. Fan linxuan is not suitable for it, and Chen Chen has nothing to say
“《faded》？ Aren''t we talking to record companies in the United States about the overseas release of this song? Are you going to add a chip to the negotiation? " Fang still immediately thought of Xiao Yao''s purpose.
"Yes, to do so is to let them know that ys is definitely not a flash in the pan. If I can write a song like this, I can write a second one." Xiao Yao said with a smile.
At the beginning, Xiao Yao put four versions of "faded" MV on the US video website PV, and the number of hits of these versions of MV has been steadily increasing. It''s just that the protagonists in the video are always masked. Although everyone has a good feeling about this song and MV, the popularity of YS, which is not known by the music world, especially the electronic music world, is still limited.
But during the summer vacation, when Xiao Yao proposed to shoot "sugar" MV for Keith Craig''s band in the United States, he once mentioned that he had shot MV before, and also found the videos of these MVs for them to see. At that time, Keith Craig mainly looked at the pictures of Xiao Yao''s two MVs. 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 is more and more admired by Xiao Yao, has turned over Xiao Yao''s own MV several times. After listening again and again, Keith Craig finds himself in love with Xiao Yao''s song. So he forwarded the MV of the song on his social account and recommended it to his fans.
Keith Craig has forwarded Xiao Yao''s spoof song video "American Airlines broke my guitar" before. When he retransmitted the MV video of this song this time, some people naturally think of Xiao Yao who wrote "sugar" for them. Betty bellette also revealed that Xiao Yao is a talented young 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. The string version of MV actor''s clothes also have a unique letter mark. We realized that the author of the song and the masked man in the MV turned out to be the talented Chinese musician and photographer who used a spoof video to make American Airlines bow.
As a result, more and more people know and like this song. Faded, which has been accumulated for a long time, has seen a dramatic increase in the number of hits in the United States and even Europe. The song has also spread from a small number of music lovers and string lovers to ordinary music fans.
This situation has naturally attracted the attention of some record companies in the United States. Xiao Yao only released the audio file of the song on some music websites for trial listening and downloading, but did not produce a single disc. Therefore, some record companies have the idea to release a single disc of the song. Although the full official version of audio can be downloaded from the Internet, it is still impossible to release a physical record without the consent of the original author. Although this guy is just a young Chinese, he has a lot to do with the top American stars like Keith Craig and his wife. Some time ago, through a video, the stock price of an airline fell. The person in charge of the company apologized to the media in public. Obviously, he is not the one who can handle it at will. So a record company contacted Xiao Yao through Keith Craig and Betty Bellett to discuss the global release of the official version of the song.The distribution of China is naturally left to Xiao Yao''s own studio, so Xiao Yao tells Yifang that he still talks with the American record company about overseas distribution outside China. Now the negotiation has not come to a conclusion, and the two sides are still in the bargaining stage. So Xiao Yao just wanted to make another song of similar style to add some chips to the negotiation.
