Fake girlfriend is a big star

The three record companies, Shuihua, Mist, and Huanmeng, ran to Lu Yang with smiles on their faces, and they all expressed their willingness to take over the game.

This is false if you don’t answer.

As for Bao Di's popularity, there are various conditions before everyone. Several record companies have already learned about this information before they are thinking about signing artists.

They only have one comment on Bao Di——

Not suitable.

Not suitable for signing a contract, because this guy has no star appearance and is not suitable to be on such a stage, because his singing style is too old-fashioned and the audience he is targeting is too niche and has no fans.

Although that person has solid basic skills, if you don’t like it, you just don’t like it. For songs to be on various charts, it’s not just the singer’s basic skills that are solid, but also the style of the song, and a certain degree of pleasantness.

The country music sung by Bao Di has long been a genre abandoned by American record companies. The market's lack of recognition is the most difficult mountain to overcome. If the audience doesn't like it, they will choose to give up.

At this time, Bao Di would certainly not be taken seriously.

In addition, this is a more competitive music talent show. In this regard, country music has absolutely no advantages and even has disadvantages everywhere.

Therefore, when the leaders of several record companies heard that Lu Yang chose to use the Bao Di to compete with them, they didn't take it to heart.

Such people, even if they sing God's songs, will not be able to play tricks.

It’s just that everyone still needs to confirm again.

"Lu, let me ask one more question." Bonn looked into Lu Yang's eyes, "Are you really sure that you want to use Bao Di's song ratings to compare with ours?"

"Yes." Lu Yang nodded.

"Then we are definitely willing." Several people smiled.

There is no need to sign another contract, because they lost more in the contract they signed in the first place.

Now that Lu Yang has not followed the terms of the contract, he has already forgiven them, so naturally they can't ask for anything more.

He just laughs secretly.

They all believed that the new boss of Shenqiao Records had some kindness that should not appear in a businessman. Everyone started a company not just to make money, but whenever they got any opportunity, they wanted to beat the other party to the bottom.

But what about him?

It was obvious that he could make the other three record companies get nothing by relying on the bet just now. It was obvious that he had set the stakes in the bet, but he didn't like it himself, so he wanted to do it again.

Bonn didn't know how to evaluate him for a while, and he couldn't tell whether this guy was a big gambler or just wanted to have fun, or whether he wanted to give in so that everyone could become friends in the future.

friend?

Ah.

They are all here to make money, so what kind of friends do you want?

"Want to play?" Gu Qinghan looked at Lu Yang with a smile, and she could guess what he was thinking.

"It's too easy." Lu Yang shrugged, "Essentially, we are rivals, but... in fact, American regulations do not allow the existence of the contract regulations just now, so there is no need, just cut an extra piece of flesh from them."

"For example, get an extra singer?" Gu Qinghan squinted his eyes.

"Yes." Lu Yang smiled, "They helped us negotiate the contract and help us select the players. Moreover, the players they signed now must be those players worth investing in, so we directly signed the contract with them. Just take it and thank them for helping us so much."

"Wait a minute." George beside him was a little confused, "Our goal is their players?"

"Yeah." Lu Yang shrugged, "What else?"

"I thought you guys wanted to make friends." George touched his head and smiled naively, "After all, Bao Di."

There were some things he really didn't want to say.

George's thoughts were the same as everyone else's. He was also not optimistic about the wandering singer named Bao Di. Although that guy's basic skills were very solid and he was the most solid among the contestants of this year's "The Voice", but

If your style doesn't change, you will never get ahead.

At least that's what George thought.

So he also felt that the reason why the boss wanted to compete with those record companies again was just to make friends.

But the conversation between the two bosses told him——

There is no such thing.

They just pretended to be lenient because their previous contract conflicted with American laws. The reason for another contest was just to get something back from those people, just like squeezing them out. Dry.

In those words, it seemed as if he believed Bao Di extremely.

"What's the flute after all?" Lu Yang smiled at George.

"After all, Bao Di is really not very suitable for this stage." George said, "In my opinion, a person like him nowadays should be a popular singer who sells and sings on the streets for a lifetime. If it was in the Middle Ages, he might have become A legendary person like a bard, but times have changed a long time ago, not the past."

"What you think is fine." Lu Yang nodded.

"Then why?" George looked at him doubtfully.

"But I think there are exceptions to everything." Lu Yang shrugged, "Of course there is no problem with the idea that times create heroes, but when a person is strong enough, he encounters good opportunities and gets a good platform. , even if he is somewhat contrary to the world, he can still reach the top."

George still can't quite understand what Lu Yang means, opportunity, platform, reaching the top?

These remarks made his mind a little confused. He turned his head and looked at the small door next to the stage. Bao Di was leaning so quietly against the door frame.

He was the next contestant to take the stage, but there were no cheers or applause from the audience because he was not popular enough.

Compared with other contestants, George always feels that Bao Di is an ascetic figure. Obviously "The Voice" is coming to an end, and the quality of life of the contestants has already improved compared to the beginning. Everyone has changed He wears limited-edition clothes or shoes, and his clothes are not as rustic as before. As long as the news is released, even the players who are on the verge of elimination will have many sponsors flocking to them.

But Bao Di is different.

Although his popularity is not high, as far as George knows, there are still many sponsors who approached him, but this guy refused, so that when he goes on stage now, his original set is still a bit white. clothes.

Out of place.

A real misfit.

George even felt that Bao Di didn't look like someone who came to participate in this show. If this guy hadn't said what he said when he first came on stage - "I participate in this show just to let my family know that I am still alive", it would feel like he didn't even show up. Reasons to be here.

"I suddenly have a question." George thought of something and asked suddenly.

"You said."

"Why did Bao Di sign a contract with our company?" George looked serious, and he was still talking nonchalantly, "He doesn't look like someone who would sign a contract with a company. I don't think he has any material needs."

"Because of the song." Lu Yang shrugged.

"Song?"

"Yeah." Lu Yang nodded and said with a smile: "Song."

"It's hard for me to imagine what kind of song has that kind of power." George frowned, always feeling that his boss was lying to him.

"Just listen, stop talking." Lu Yang closed his eyes.

On the stage, Bao Di walked on the stage holding his guitar. Like every previous competition, he sat alone on a chair. There was no exaggerated performance or exaggerated appearance. It looked like a mariachi singing in a dark, seedy bar.

At this time, the lights suddenly dimmed, and only a beam of light from above hit Bao Di, and he began to perform.

"Why hasn't Bao Di been eliminated yet?"

"I always think Bao Di's songs are great, but they are not suitable for performing on such a stage."

"Yes, if I met a singer like Bao Di on the street, I would stop and listen to his music, but this is not the case. This is a stage. Everyone is thinking about how to ignite the emotions of the audience. , thinking about how to ignite the whole scene, and George is... Come listen to a song, he doesn't care how the song is, and he doesn't care what you think, he just sings anyway."

"The flute is good, but I just don't like it."

"The main reason is that his songs are too old-fashioned, and too few people listen to country music now. At least we young people don't like it. But my grandfather, who is so old that he almost lost all his teeth, especially likes the bodied flute."

"I hope he can bring good songs to people today."

"."

The host did not announce the title of Bao Di's song, nor did he tell everyone who the creator of the song was. Bao Di's program was like running water, flowing suddenly and then slowly flowing away.

Just like that moment.

At the beginning, it was indeed the familiar guitar melody commonly used in country music.

When I first heard it, it didn’t feel refreshing.

But the focus is on the lyrics.

offstage.

The leaders of several record companies did not pay attention to Bao Di. They looked back at the faces of all the audience, focusing on the expressions of these people.

I always feel like this situation is stable.

Everyone's expressions were calm, and they didn't show any emotions that showed they liked it, nor did they think the melody was amazing.

Like

Watching a mediocre performance that can be seen many times.

"Country music is still not good as a genre." Bonn shook his head to his subordinate, "Look, God also wrote songs. He can write the songs of metal rock bands like Chasing the Dragon, but country music is No audience is paying for it.”

"This melody is not catchy." One employee said seriously: "Now everyone is not as patient as before. If the first few seconds are not exciting, many people will want to switch to the next song."

"Yes."

Bonn nodded.

He turned around again and saw that many spectators had picked up their mobile phones and were minding their own business, and only a few people were enjoying the performance.

Because there is really nothing impressive about the melody at the beginning.

"This" George was also in a daze.

Although he didn't believe in Bao Di, he believed in Lu Yang.

I thought this song would be like the song by Chasing the Dragon, which would amaze the times as soon as it was opened, but now it sounds really ordinary.

Could it be that the car really overturned?

So is this why the boss ordered the host not to announce that he composed the song?

Because he couldn't tell for sure at first?

But what was that sworn tone and demeanor just now?

Probably seeing George's panic, Lu Yang smiled and explained, "Listen slowly, this is a very good song that needs to be felt with your heart."

What do you feel?

George still wanted to ask.

But when he looked at Lu Yang again, he found that the god had closed his eyes, and the only information he got was the smile on his face, like a general who was sure of victory on the battlefield.

Next to him, Gu Qinghan also closed his eyes.

It's true that the emperor is not in a hurry, but the eunuch is.

George suddenly remembered this Chinese slang. His heart was pounding. He wanted to close his eyes and enjoy it slowly but couldn't calm down.

At this time, the flute on the stage began to sing.

"How many roads must a man walk down, how many roads a man must walk down

Beforethey call him a man? Before they call him a man?

How many seas must a white dove sail, how many seas must a white dove fly over?

Before she sleeps in the sand? Before she sleeps in the sand?

How many times must the cannon balls fly?

Before they're forever banned?

The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind, my friend, the answer is blowin' in the wind

The answer is blowin' in the wind

这 是

An anti-war song?

So what God wants is to conquer the audience with ideas?

George listened to the lyrics and began to think wildly.

He had to admit that the lyrics of this song were great, the kind that could not be described in words.

This is a song with its own thoughts and opinions. George can tell that this type of song is not for sales at all, but for function and symbolism.

George rubbed his head, always feeling that this was a risky move. The melody was common, but the lyrics of this song were great, and it needed such a melody to match such lyrics.

but

Will anyone really listen?

George turned back in confusion and saw countless mouths.

Because of the lighting, the light at the scene was very dark. Many people had turned on their mobile phones to play just now, and the bright light shone on their faces, which was extremely obvious in the dim scene.

But now, the group of people no longer looked down at their mobile phones. They looked at Bao Di on the stage. The screen of the mobile phone was still on, and their mouths were slightly open, which was very obvious under the light of the mobile phone.

Did you listen?

George was stunned for a long time.

At this moment, a harmonica sound sounded.

The sound of the harmonica is melodious and does not conflict with the playing of the guitar, and the melody alone gives people a sufficient sense of the picture.

Especially the lyrics I just sung, the sound of the harmonica sounds like a white dove slowly flying into the sky in the melody.

Not counting money.

Let me first say Happy New Year~

The song is "Blowin' In The Wind", a song by Nobel Prize winner Bob Dylan, and it is also my favorite song in English, but...

The song is too old.

But I wrote it anyway.

Because I think this is a classic, especially the first lyric, how far a man has to go to become a man.

so.

I brought some private goods~

If you are interested, you can listen to it.

Happy New Year, I wish everyone good health and all the best~ (End of this chapter)
