MTL - Chapter One of the Night-Chapter 141 expectation
Chapter 141 Expectation
The feeling of waiting in the car is not too pleasant.
The key is that you don’t even dare to chat. There is a driver in front of you. You have to dare to talk nonsense. It’s normal to leak out every minute. The car must be rented, and the driver is with the car.
When first got in the car, the driver asked, "Hello Mr. Xu, your album is prepared in the car, would you like to listen to it?"
But Xu Zhenghua immediately waved his hand, "No need! Just listen to the radio!"
Still listening! Don't tell me, I'm getting tired of singing!
So I had to listen to the radio in the car.
It didn't make any sense at first, the live broadcast of the red carpet was true, but Xu Zhenghua has no interest in other people's appearances now, but he soon found out that the guests invited in this show are very sharp, and they dare to say it. Just broke out a little gossip about a guest.
It happened that the host helped him stop his pocket, and when the two of them sang together, it would be interesting.
Even Xu Zhenghua laughed out loud from time to time.
When An Xiaojing started walking the red carpet earlier, the guy started complaining again, "If I want to simply discuss An Xiaojing's songs, I think it's still pretty good, but every time I think of her songs, I always think about it. It was Xu Zhenghua who wrote it for her, and I felt very uncomfortable..."
Ah this...
"Why?" the host asked.
The guest said: "That's Xu Zhenghua who wrote "Short Hair"! He actually wrote a song like "Short Hair", can you imagine? "No Land"! Think about "Short Hair" again, do you feel Xu Zhenghua? A little schizophrenic?"
"Ah...don't talk nonsense! Please note that the above guest remarks do not represent the views of this show..."
"If it wasn't for schizophrenia, how could it be possible to write "No Place to Be Ashamed" and "Short Hair" at the same time?" The guest obviously didn't want to stop, and started to complain far more crazily than before, "In all the rock songs I've heard , "Nowhere to Be Ashamed" even I can rank it in the top three! What an awesome work! But "Short Hair"... If you want to talk about An Xiaojing's "When Love is Approaching", I can barely accept it..."
The host answered, "But he also wrote "Unfinished Love for You", which is now the most popular song!"
Nima, why are you avoiding risks? Are you continuing to make fire?
""Unfinished Love For You" is scum!"
The guy fired wildly, "That's Xu Zhenghua compromising the market! He's a smart guy, he knows what fans like to listen to, so he just made a song and coaxed them to buy his album! But you Look, there are five rock songs in his album! Five songs! It's not a big problem for him to say that this album is a rock album! Kick off the more popular "First Experience of Love", there are also four songs ! And there are four styles!"
"I can feel that he loves rock and roll, he must love it to death! But he is so smart, so smart that his love is not pure! He should make a pure rock album, and it may not sell " I can't stop loving you" is so good, but I believe that as long as his new album can maintain the level of "Nowhere to Be Ashamed" and "Free Like the Wind", it will not sell badly! Ten million copies is not a problem!"
The host interjected at the right time, "But now he has sold 20 million copies of this album!"
The guest was furious, "What's the use of that? In his album, except for the four rock songs, there are only one and a half songs, which are considered good songs. "The Love of My Life" is one song, and "Kiss Goodbye" is half of the song! The rest are all Scum! "Snake Dance" is scum! "Love to You" is even more scum!"
"Hey, Xu Zhenghua is probably listening to our radio, pay attention..."
"Uh... Hi Xu Zhenghua, my name is Huang Zhicheng, I'm the host of "Moment of Joy" at 10pm on Qiongzhou Travel Radio. I'm your fan, can I invite you to the show?"
Yuan Wei couldn't help laughing.
The driver in the front row asked politely, "Mr. Xu, do you need to turn off the radio?"
Xu Zhenghua was also smiling, "No, just listen!"
Pure rock album? Stop bullshitting!
Even when I was a layman before, I knew that when looking at the music world, whether it is Chinese music or foreign music, pop music is the absolute largest market - of course, there are many fans of rock music, and they are notoriously **** and die-hard. Loyalty, but the market size is still far from that of pop music.
Up to now, the big sale of "Unfinished Love For You" has proved in fact that Liu Junxian's original view was completely correct: keep songs like "Nowhere to Be Ashamed" to support the whole album. It is the correct way to raise the tone of the song. If you want to be a big hit, you still have to bring songs like "I Can't Stop Loving You".
Of course, the quality of the album is there. Even if I insisted on my own opinion before and had to use "Nowhere to Be Ashamed" as the first title, the album would definitely have sold over 10 million copies, and as soon as "Unfinished Love For You" came out in the later stage, The red will also become popular, and if you sell it slowly, it may not really sell much less, but it will not form such a storm-like effect of sudden popularity.
For me, no matter what I do, as long as the song is good, the tactical effect can be achieved.
…………
It was already dark at 7:09.
I don’t know how many headlights, illuminating the red carpet area in front of the host venue as bright as day.
Finally it was Xu Zhenghua's turn to get off.
The car stopped in front of the red carpet, the concierge came over and opened the door on one side, Xu Zhenghua adjusted his clothes, stepped out of the car, then turned around, took Yuan Wei's hand, and led her out of the car.
On this one appearance, there is already a tsunami over there.
The cries of fans were just crazy.
There were still two groups of guests on the red carpet in front, but after finding that Xu Zhenghua had arrived and got off the bus, all the reporters began to hula and move towards the red carpet, and the fans were even more patient in front of others He kept shouting Xu Zhenghua's name loudly.
finally walked the red carpet.
Xu Zhenghua stretched his legs and feet, and while walking, he smiled and waved at the fans.
Yuan Wei is no longer as nervous as when he attended public occasions several times before, but while maintaining a smile on his face, he still can't help hugging Xu Zhenghua's arm tightly.
Xu Zhenghua's long legs walked a little faster, she had to speed up a little to keep up.
The flash is like a lightning matrix, frequently and densely lit up almost continuously.
"Zhenghua I love you!"
A female fan cried on the spot.
"I love you too!"
Xu Zhenghua heard it and responded immediately.
So many fans couldn't help screaming in excitement.
Behind him, the next courtesy car carrying the guests stopped, but the door did not open.
According to the organizer's regulations, Xu Zhenghua can enjoy five minutes of red carpet time. After five minutes, the next wave of guests will walk on the red carpet. Normally, guests like to stop and go when they pass the red carpet. It can take a minute, but it can be delayed until ten minutes away.
Xu Zhenghua did not walk slowly, but from time to time he would be stopped by the media to take pictures.
He is very cooperative.
Even a few times, he would put his arm around Yuan Wei's shoulder for them to take pictures.
Now the popularity of "Unstoppable Love For You" is unstoppable. Whatever he does on his own side will not affect the album's continued sales, so the focus has quietly shifted.
The next step is to make Yuan Wei popular.
The original plan was to release the second single of the album's second title, "Nowhere to Self", in mid-March. At the same time, the song officially hit the charts and brought another wave of sales, but now, "Unending Love For You" has become more popular than expected. , According to the preliminary estimate of Venus, there will be no new songs that can challenge this song's dominance throughout March.
Then take it easy, and push "Being Ashamed" in April.
"Unfinished Love for You" has already won the three-week championship in February. If it can win all four weeks in March, it will complete the transcendence of "Beautiful Eyes".
But it is still far from tying or even surpassing the record of 13 consecutive championships set by Sun Deming in 1981-in terms of the current market environment, it is almost impossible to match this record.
The market is far more competitive than it was at the beginning.
The kings and queens can't guarantee that they will be able to dominate the list for a month.
However, "Being Ashamed of Nowhere" has already made it to the top ten of the A list with almost no announcement. If you hit the list with a little force, it should not be a problem to win the championship. If it is good, it can dominate the list for three or four weeks. The difference is at least two weeks - the time is calculated, the potential can be estimated by Xuanfa veterans, and there will be no holes for others to exploit.
If you want to announce the listing during your hegemony period, you must fight a tough battle with yourself.
So it is said that many record companies have been forced to postpone their new album release plans after the year.
But Yuan Wei's debut single cannot be delayed.
She must be pushed out in March, because in May and June, the big brother Liu Defeng will also be pushed.
Then plug in!
Don't expect "Our Love" to win the championship. Under the current situation, "Unfinished Love For You" completely dominates, and "Our Love" can get the second place, which is not bad.
"Xu Zhenghua, you just denied that the child is yours, won't your conscience hurt?"
Suddenly a woman shouted.
Everyone was a little stunned.
Xu Zhenghua also had a big headache for a while, but he quickly reacted. The voice was a bit familiar. When he boarded the plane in Changsha before, it should be this woman who wanted to play moral kidnapping and ask him to donate money.
In fact, you can bear it, because a staff member has already run towards her.
But it doesn't matter anymore, "When the police have issued a notice and the parties concerned have issued a statement, you still want to play like this, it's not necessary, won't your conscience hurt?"
The woman was stunned for a moment, apparently not expecting that Xu Zhenghua would retaliate, so that she suddenly interrupted her momentum, but she still reacted quickly, her eyes caught the security guards rushing towards this side, she suddenly raised Play a card with a slogan and shout, "Protect women's rights and care for the physical and mental health of pregnant women!"
Fuck!
Got it, this is probably an association or something.
It seems that she is not mainly targeting herself, but running to touch the porcelain.
Because the sign reads: Protecting women's rights is everyone's responsibility!
I already knew it would be ignored.
Xu Zhenghua sighed, shook his head, and walked away with Yuan Wei.
The security guard took control of the woman in time. At this time, many fans of Xu Zhenghua shouted loudly, "This person is here to make trouble on purpose! Hit her!"
The security guard at the scene was a little panicked, and immediately rushed over a few more.
Fortunately, the man was quickly pulled away, and there was no trouble.
With such a change, Xu Zhenghua was too lazy to accompany Yuan Wei on the red carpet to take pictures, and gave her a look, and the two of them tacitly accelerated their pace.
After walking the red carpet, we soon arrived at the interview area.
The two hosts at the scene do not know each other, but this year's Golden Coconut Awards live broadcast is being done by Tiangong TV Network, and it must be their people.
"Hello Zhenghua, would you like to accept the next interview?"
"OK!"
Old school.
Do you have confidence in winning the award? There's a show tonight, right?
Xu Zhenghua continued with the old method before, he pulled Yuan Wei halfway through the conversation, pushed her to the camera, and then began to push her and her new song hard.
But in the end, he still gave himself a little time.
Just as the host asked, "I interviewed An Xiaojing, Du Xuelan and Jin Xiaoqing just now. They all wear similar clothes. You designed them for them, right? It's called cheongsam?"
So he started to advertise his clothes, "That's right. Cheongsam! They are all my models! Everyone has seen the Spring Festival Evening, and my dancer is wearing a cheongsam. After seeing An Xiaojing and the others I also liked it very much and wanted to wear it, so I made a model for me and showed it to everyone."
"There is also this suit on my own, called Zhenghua suit. I always feel that our country is either very classical, Mingfu, which is not convenient for daily wear, or it is a suit invented by Westerners, which is not decent enough, so I myself I designed this suit. You say it's trendy, I think it's trendy, but at the same time I think its design can be worn as a formal suit, and I think it looks better than a suit..."
"The day after tomorrow, on March 7th, Zhenghua Clothing's first store in the world will be opened in the imperial capital. You are welcome to go and have a look..."
No matter what the host's face looked like, almost five or six minutes passed after finishing the advertisement, and the next group of guests had passed the red carpet, so Xu Zhenghua waved his hand and left.
Soon under the guidance of the staff, he entered the hall, and again saw Guan Yulan who got off the bus a minute behind, but entered directly inside.
Alas, it’s a social occasion again.
And it's useless socializing.
As a prospective former singer who was only ready to release three albums and retreated, Xu Zhenghua did not have the energy to deal with this kind of social interaction, but in the presence of helpless people, it is not good to appear too arrogant.
also had to deal with it reluctantly.
His seat was arranged in the fifth row, and it was closer to the middle seat.
A quite prominent position.
But before the award ceremony started, the organizer's staff came over to invite him and let him sit in the first row - An Xiaojing, Du Xuelan, Jin Xiaoqing, Lu Xiaosui, Shen Jinyan, Zhang Yijiang, Chopping Tree Band, etc. The singers who achieved quite good results in 1993 were indeed all sitting in the first row.
The ranking is arranged, and the names are posted on the chairs.
Xu Zhenghua's position is right in the middle of Du Xuelan and Jin Xiaoqing.
also had to sit down.
His expectations for the Golden Coconut Award are not too high, but he knows that this award will play a big role in raising his worth, attracting personal attention, and even increasing the sales of records.
So, of course, we must honestly obey other people's arrangements, do not make trouble, and do not play with personality.
Fortunately, next to Du Xuelan and Jin Xiaoqing, both sides are fragrant, and it is not uncomfortable to chat casually.
At 7:55, the hall gradually became quiet. Many people were not here for the first time, and people who came for the first time were also accompanied. Everyone tacitly stopped socializing at this time and returned to their own. on the seat.
At 7:58, the headlights were turned off, leaving only dim aisle lights and some lights.
At 8:00 sharp, the award ceremony officially started.
This year's host has invited four, and by coincidence, Xu Zhenghua is not familiar with any of them.
But according to what Guan Yulan said before, there should be two from Tiangong TV Network, one from Huaxia TV, and one from Qiongzhou.
But as the focus of the audience today, he was still quickly pulled into the opening remarks, and he said something out of nowhere, "...So, if you want to see stars, please always pay attention to our Kim The date of the Coconut Award Ceremony, but if you're pregnant unexpectedly and you can't get in touch with the child's father, please contact... um, he's here today, right? Then I won't mention his name."
Fuck!
Xu Zhenghua was stunned for a moment, and then he came back to his senses after his deliberate pause. It was obvious that the overall reflection of the scene was half a beat slower than that of Xu Zhenghua, and he suddenly understood what it meant.
Then, everyone burst into laughter.
Jin Xiaoqing and Du Xuelan, who were beside them, were also laughing back and forth.
Du Xuelan also patted Xu Zhenghua's shoulder hard.
It's not over, isn't it!
I feel like this stalk may be with me for life!
It is clearly a matter that has been clarified and completely resolved, but whether it is to get hot, to touch porcelain, or to find memes, they are all crazy.
The live video camera on the scene had already pointed the lens at him in advance—in other words, since he sat down, the camera has not moved away, making it clear that its duty today is to capture its own footage.
In front of the camera, the astonishment on Xu Zhenghua's face flashed past, and then he showed a nearly standard, ritualized shaking of his head and a wry smile-before the launch of "First Experience of Love", these things were done by professional public relations personnel and etiquette personnel. For those who have attended the class - and then stretched out her hand with a wry smile, applauding the host on the stage.
seems to be expressing his sincere admiration for such a wonderful stalk of the other party.
Actually inner MMP!
But then again, this is the Golden Coconut Award!
And it's the opening string of words. The ratings are terrifyingly high. Those who are used to make up jokes may not be happy.
Forget it, go to the ball, and smash him on another occasion.
…………
"Next, I announce that the work that won the best lyric of the year is..."A Thousand Thousand Que Song", Xu Zhenghua!"
