Pulling the female boss into the Hongyan group, I was exposed

Chapter 156 155. Shine, Crazy Diamond (643 less)

… After Hawking finished speaking, Yan Yunzhuo, who was still somewhat confident, was embarrassed.

It is rare for Hawking to thank a person in such a long way.

After all, it was difficult for him to say a few words.

Xu Xiangxiao said quietly: "So, it was JX who wrote the album "Wish You Were Here", and he was also the one who arranged this concert?"

She turned around and asked, "How did he get to know these people and even write songs for them?"

Jiang Xinhai slowly shook his head.

No one answered, and no one could answer.

No matter how famous these people are, they are only limited to the entertainment industry.

JX's behavior is like a straight with eight kings hidden in it.

How can anyone play cards in the entertainment industry, and suddenly throw out Hawking's?

This is simply a dimensionality reduction blow!

Also, there is no need to answer this question.

JX has blatantly handwritten Chinese on the poster of "May You Be Here".

A native of Hua, who can write his name and Chinese on the title page so arrogantly, must have made a contribution at the level of Nuwa's creation of this album.

But Hawking can thank him again and again, and have a good chat with him...

It's even more uncomfortable.

Therefore, the people present only felt the thunder rolling, and could not utter a word.

Jiang Xinhai, Xu Xiangxiao and the others didn't know what to say, while He Ling, Wang Feng and the others felt that they were not qualified to comment.

Yingzi and others are completely sour.

Finally, Gao Xiaobai murmured: "It's too shocking..."

After a long silence, the taunting audience in the live broadcast room split apart one by one:
"So, by going abroad, did you pinch all these Pangus?"

"Hahahaha, all I can say is, it's awesome, it's a shame to let him play in the entertainment industry before."

"This JX is awesome. I thought he was too arrogant before. I was too young. This temple is still too small for him as a Bodhisattva."

"I just want to ask Yingzi, did your face hurt from the beating?"

……

Stars can see the barrage in the live broadcast room through real-time feedback on the small screen.

Yan Yunzhuo couldn't sit still when he saw a group of "face-slapping" people.

Yan Yunzhuo forced a laugh and said:
"This kind of music is very sticky, and there are some big fans, and their fanaticism can be understood."

"Niche?" Gao Xiaobai looked at her in disbelief.

Yan Yunzhuo said: "Comparatively speaking, it is relatively small. No matter where it is, pop music is more popular. But relatively speaking, making this kind of small music has a better reputation, and making popular music has a wider audience."

After she finished speaking, both Gao Xiaobai and Cui Dayou looked a little surprised.

"Pink Floyd is actually very popular," Qin Yunshang said suddenly, "When I was studying abroad, they still had a lot of fans..."

"More fans than pop music?" Yan Yunzhuo immediately asked.

"I don't know, maybe, maybe not..." Qin Yunshang didn't dare to argue with her, and immediately flinched.

"That's it," Yan Yunzhuo spread his hands and said, "The audience shouldn't favor one person over another. They think it's okay when they see Hawking's platform. It's just that the niche music he makes is more pleasing."

Cui Dayou blinked and said, "Oh? Then, what do you think, how is JX's 'niche music' doing?"

Faced with the question of Cui Dayou's level, Yan Yunzhuo dared not answer.

Yingzi was afraid that she would say the wrong thing, so she took the lead and said:
"Whether it's good or not depends on personal preference. After all, aesthetics is a very personal thing. Some people like it, some people don't like it. It's not that Hawking likes it. After all, everyone is not Hawking."

Cui Dayou asked: "In your opinion, what is good music?"

"There's no way to say. Radishes and cabbages have their own preferences," Yingzi said. "Comparatively speaking, it must be good if it sells well."

Cui Dayou said: "I am a musician, and I evaluate music from the perspective of its avant-garde and musicality. What you said is a bit sales-only."

"Why is it a sales-only theory?" Yingzi said, "It's just that everyone has ears, so they can tell the difference by themselves."

The barrage in the live broadcast room flashed across:
"This time I'm standing with Yingzi, she's right."

"Whether the music is good or not depends on the degree of popularity."

"Hey, who doesn't have a lot of big fans, Yingzi also has a lot of big fans, but he doesn't take it out to put gold on his face like JX."

……

Yan Yunzhuo said: "When I was doing fashion before, I said the same thing. It depends on the sales volume. You can't say that you don't look at the sales volume after you go abroad, right?"

She went on to say: "Before he said, give the Chinese music scene ten years or something, then go abroad, give up the old line of pop, and start doing niche rock. He has his excellence and courage. But it doesn’t mean that the Chinese music world won’t turn without him.”

Cui Dayou pondered: "The current Chinese music scene, do you think it is developing well?"

"Pretty good," Yingzi continued, "Now that digital albums are being made, the new generation of musicians, such as Li Xingliang, Xiao Zhan, Ding Zhen, etc., sell their music very well, and some of their annual sales can easily exceed 300. Wan, isn't that good?"

Cui Dayou nodded, seemingly thoughtful.

Seeing him nodding in approval, Yingzi became more confident:

"I know that there must be many people who say that JX is amazing, but he puts these things here proudly, shows them deliberately, and has a celebrity effect, which will definitely create a shocking effect.

"However, in fact, whether an album is good or a song is good depends on popularity and album sales. Of course, making niche music can achieve high stickiness, because people will always prefer those niche songs. They feel more personal.

"However, seeing how shocking he was at the scene, with such a big celebrity coming out, the country didn't know about it at all. To be honest, if I didn't watch this today, I wouldn't even know there was such a band.

"So, everyone should have some confidence in their own music. By the way, has anyone heard of Pink Floyd?"

After she finished speaking, some bullet screens in the live broadcast room were immediately persuaded.

"Well, I'm listening to Pink Floyd for the first time today, and I haven't heard it before."

"I don't understand, I played a song just now, the prelude played for a long time, and I didn't sing for a long time."

"Everyone around me doesn't know this band, and they haven't heard the song, but no one hasn't heard Yingzi's song, so they don't understand what's so good about slapping people in the face just now."

When Yingzi said this, Gao Xiaobai and Cui Dayou kept looking at her.

Gao Xiaobai was still hesitant to speak, and Cui Dayou looked at her with sympathetic eyes as if he was looking at a fool.

She finally felt a little guilty.

Cui Dayou waited for her to finish speaking, and then slowly said: "Pink Floyd has no popularity in China, is it possible that the music distribution channel is completely controlled by a few big companies, and they have not entered domestic entertainment? At that time, it was difficult to get access to their music in China?"

Yingzi frowned.

It's not that what Cui Dayou said was wrong.

But he was so right.

In this matter, no one knows better than Yingzi.Because most of the channels for music distribution are controlled by others, or by her behind-the-scenes boss.

In the past, Jiang Xinhai, Zhiji, and Daolang paid their own money to produce a batch of albums, and they could still dominate the music scene. That era is gone forever.

Now that various approval and distribution systems are becoming more and more standardized, it is impossible for wild musicians like that to become popular on their own.

Unless they are excellent enough to become a hot topic, or participate in some drafts, they can stand out in front of the public.

All in all, wild musicians have a hard time surviving.

What she just said was vague, as if Pink Floyd is not popular in China because of the quality of their own music, but in fact, there is indeed a problem of lack of channels.

The mainstream music channels are all in the hands of those companies, and the more popular European and American music has not entered. How can they, an old-fashioned rock band, easily enter?
Yingzi thought for a while, and soon thought of the rebuttal, and said:
"Ms. Cui, what you said is a bit of a reversal of cause and effect. It's not that they lack channels so they don't become popular, but that they have to become popular so that channels will gradually increase their volume.

"The domestic channels are all about making money. If there are other music that is more profitable, we will definitely give priority to those music with more potential. Otherwise, it would be very unfair, wouldn't it?"

There is a long bullet screen floating in the live broadcast room:

"I support Teacher Yingzi's point of view. I am a practitioner in the industry. Pink is not popular. It can't be blamed for not giving channels. They also tried some small stations for some time. Facts have proved that rock is indeed a small audience and is not suitable for mass promotion. "

Cui Dayou nodded again, and said, "So all in all, Pink Floyd is not popular, and the sales are not enough, right?"

Yingzi nodded: "There is such a reason."

Gao Xiaobai next to him was a little scrupulous about Cui Dayou, seeing Cui Dayou saying these words in a serious manner, he was anxious for Yingzi.

In fact, Cui Dayou is quite interesting, he looks serious, but he knows how to fish all the time.

As a result, Yingzi suddenly didn't realize that he was caught as a fish, and thought that Cui Dayou was persuaded by him.

When she finally said repeatedly, "Pink Floyd is not selling well," Gao Xiaobai finally couldn't help it, and shouted:

"Teacher Yingzi!"

Yingzi suddenly turned his head and asked, "What's wrong? Am I wrong?"

She frowned at Gao Xiaobai, thinking that you have something to say quickly.

Gao Xiaobai turned his head and sighed.

It's really hard for him to say anything more.

Finally, Cui Dayou said slowly in his thick voice:
"Actually, if we only talk about album sales, no one is qualified to talk about sales in front of Pink Floyd, because they are the No. 2 band in the history of music."

Yingzi turned his head suddenly, a little stunned.

"Their album, "The Dark Side of the Moon", sold a total of 4 million copies, ranking second in music history." Cui Dayou said slowly, "By the way, the number one is Michael Jackson's " trembling"."

Yingzi and Yan Yunzhuo opened their mouths slightly.

"This, this is the total sales of 50 years, right?"

"Indeed, it is the sales data up to 2015." Cui Dayou said, "But there is no 50 years. This song was released in 1973."

Yingzi breathed a sigh of relief, and made up his mind.

If Xiao Zhan has been popular for 50 years, his album can be sold for...

"The album "Dark Side of the Moon" won the first place in the US album chart once it was released," Cui Dayou said again, "then, it set an unprecedented record: it stayed on the chart for 741 consecutive weeks."

"By the way, the song with the longest time on the chart in China is Xinhai's "Invisible Wings", which stayed on the chart for 74 weeks."

Jiang Xinhai was suddenly cueed and used as a background board, and he went "uh-uh".

Yingzi didn't come up in one breath, Cui Dayou said again: "741 weeks, from being on the list in 1973 to leaving in 1985, that is more than 13 years."

"However, after the calculation of the US album list in 2009, they found that the previous scoring rules were not very objective, so they revised the calculation method. At this time, they found that "Dark Side of the Moon" entered the list again, and its accumulated It's been over 900 weeks."

"In addition, the sales of all the albums of Pink Floyd, as of the disbandment of the band in 2015, totaled 2.5 million copies."

2.5 billion.

After finishing speaking, Cui Dayou fell silent.

Everything that needs to be said has been explained.

There's not much more to say.

The sales of an album can be worth one hundred English sub.

The duration of an album on the chart is three times longer than Yingzi's debut career.

Such a band, you actually say it is not popular?
Some bullet screens in the live broadcast room that have been held back for so long finally couldn't hold back:
"Good fishing! Teacher Cui is good at fishing!"

"I laughed so hard, just now Yan Yunzhuo kept talking about the niche, I fucking thought I was living in a parallel world."

"After so many years, Yingzi has not improved at all, and she doesn't listen to music types that she is not familiar with at all."

"A good voice and a pig's brain, this word will never go out of style in her."

……

Gao Xiaobai added a little self-defeating:
"The album "Wish You Were Here" won three Grammy Awards that year. After the concert, the band was collectively inducted into the British Music Hall of Fame again. At the same time, the sales volume of this album has reached more than 3 million.

"That's why I'm so surprised. Such an album is... actually made by a Chinese person. It's unbelievable..."

Everyone collectively ignored his Mu Yang dog's speech.

After the music of "May You Be Here" ended, the central control screen in the room changed again.

This time, a line of words appeared on the screen:

Shine On You Crazy Diamond

Below the music, handwritten Chinese characters appeared again:
"Roger Waters said there was a burden to being a star. I didn't want the limelight, I just wanted to write my own songs and play music.

Some people are different from him, some people, they want more attention, want to make money and get cramps.

However, such a person, as others no longer pay attention, often becomes a dead tree.

Those who are loyal to music have become eternal shining diamonds because of the eternity of music.

This song is dedicated to our friend, Sid Barrett.

With his loyalty and love for music, he injected diamond-like strong genes into this band. "

The music was flying.

Long music flutters up.

The guitar strings move, the notes are simple, but there seems to be sadness in the air.

Infected by the emotion of the music, everyone was silent for a while, and then Cui Dayou suddenly said:
"Yingzi, do you know?"

Yingzi turned to look at him.

"The album "May You Be Here" is to commemorate a person."

He points to the album cover on the screen, and the guy on the left reaches out for a handshake, while the guy on the right is on fire.

"As mentioned just now, Master Shui is the second-generation leader of the Pink Floyd band. The founder of the band is another person. His name is Sid Barrett."

"He was at the helm of the band for only three short years, but he dedicated his life to music, writing songs like burning his body, creating the background of Pink Floyd .”

"But he burned himself out. He was seriously ill, his face changed beyond recognition, and he eventually left the band."

"This song is to commemorate him. You see, the name of this song contains the three letters 'SYD', which is exactly his name, Sid (syd)."

"His talents are lacking, but he burns himself hard, so there are moments of brilliance, even if only for a short, short time."

"He also tried hard to engrave himself in the history of music."

Cui Dayou didn't say anything anymore, because the screen picture changed again.

What he wanted to express to her euphemistically was that in this world, music is not just a traffic game.

Only by being faithful to the music itself can you make yourself immortal.

Otherwise, it's just fast food.

Yingzi thought for a while, and suddenly became angry.

She thought that Cui Dayou was implying that he was not capable enough and talented enough, so he was beaten back by Jiang Xinhai after a few years of debut.

Yingzi secretly hated it.

But what she didn't know was that the good intentions in Cui Dayou's words were understood by others.

A Japanese manga artist was deeply moved. In order to pay tribute to the band, he named the substitute ability of the fourth-generation protagonist "Crazy Diamond" in his manga.

This double has the ability to "heal everything but himself".

When he conceived of this extraordinarily gentle stand-in ability, he thought of Sid Barrett, who was already physically damaged, and those who had the power to heal everyone, but only burned their own dedication to music.

This manga artist is called Hirohiko Araki, and his manga is called "JOJO's Bizarre Adventure".

……

Everyone stared at the screen. At this time, the picture on the screen was another interview.

The camera is on the back of a man, and in front of this man is a reporter.

"Mr. JX," the reporter said with a smile in pure English, "During your stay in the United States, you have turned the entire European and American music scene upside down.

"You remade the Beatles, you remade Pink Floyd, you had a brief romance with Taylor Swift, and now you're on the cover of Time magazine, I Just curious, what exactly do you want to do?"

"Me..." JX's voice that was so familiar to Jiang Xinhai and Xu Xiangxiao sounded, "At first, I just wanted to build a private music collection..."

When the voice came here, it was cut off.

The whole picture went dark.

Then, a line of white words appeared in the center of the screen:
"Music Collection Prologue, end."

"Click to go to the next scene."
