Writing about entertainment was approached by a female villain archetype

Chapter 284 Lobbying
"Hey, Simon, can you tell me why this damn Aura showed up at this time?"

In a villa in Los Angeles, California, a middle-aged white man with white hair was yelling at another black man who looked much younger.

The black man named Simon was just about to open his mouth after being yelled at.

Then I saw a black woman with brown skin sitting on the sofa on the other side and said, "Oh, Jill, I think you are a little too excited. Maybe you can choose to communicate with Simon calmly."

The woman who spoke was Lenas Johnson. Like Qiu Yicheng, she was born in 95. She is considered the leader among the new generation of female singers in the United States in recent years.

Being able to become a leader of the new generation is not because she inherited the excellent singing skills of her black female singer predecessors.

But because she is a staunch feminist and environmentalist, and she is also a minority.

Oh, by the way, she also supports Ye Zi, which can be seen from her music works. Her songs are full of West Coast elements.

All of the above, coupled with her extremely correct skin color, it can be said that Lenas is a player with a lot of buffs. This is much more awesome than Qiu Yicheng's slightly fake lesbian buff.

Of course, putting these aside, her music creation ability and singing skills are still relatively good. Moreover, she is indeed a black person who conforms to public aesthetics, and her image is quite outstanding.

Otherwise, Buff alone would not be enough to support her becoming the leader of the new generation of American pop music.

As for the brown-haired man Gill who just roared, his full name is Gil Davis, and he is her agent.

The black boy Simon Kerns is the executive agent and is responsible for the specific implementation of Lenas's work.

At this time, seeing that Gil's anger was slightly stopped by Lenas, Simon said to Gil: "You know, my understanding of Aura is no different from yours."

This seems to be an explanation, but in fact it is a bit sarcastic. It means, I am the same as you, how can I know where to go if you don’t even know? ·
Therefore, when Gil heard this, he exploded instantly. He pointed at Simon and cursed: "Shit, you are negligent in your duties. Simon, you are so negligent in your duties. As an executive broker, shouldn't you be aware of the trends of our competitors?"

"In fact, I have researched all the singers in our market who may pose a threat to Lenas, and the results are as you can see.

None of them have any plans or actions to release new works during this period. I think my job has been done perfectly. Simon said with his hands spread out.

"Then what's going on with this Aura? Why did she and Lenas release their albums so close to each other?" Jill continued to question loudly.

"She is a Chinese singer and is not within the scope of my research. Besides, I don't think she can pose any threat to Lenas." Simon still maintained the posture of a bear with his hands spread out.

After saying this, he turned to Lenas on the sofa and said, "Renas, do you think that a Chinese person will pose any threat to you?"

"Of course not." Lenas heard this and immediately laughed.

On the opposite side was Gil next to him. He waved his hands, rolled his eyes, turned his head back, and said to the two of them in an extremely speechless state: "Oh, my God, I really can't. I dare to believe that you dare to say such things.

You should really put down that damn leaf on your hands and turn on that damn YouTube on your damn phone or computer and take a look.

It has only been thirty hours since Aola's "Sugar" MV was released, and it has already been played nearly 800 million times in thirty hours.

And what about ours? Our MV only has 300 million views now. Do you know what this means? "

"What does it mean?" Lenas heard this and looked at Jill with some dissatisfaction.

Before Jill could reply, she continued: "When I was a child, my mother took me to the zoo, and I saw a yellow-skinned monkey that I had never seen before. It was extremely ugly.

That ugly and special appearance made all tourists, including me, cast curious glances at it.

But no matter how many eyes it has, it doesn't mean that it can replace those noble and beautiful panthers and become the top predator on the grassland. You konw? "

"Oh, Lenas, you know, I have always loved your vivid metaphors. Every time I hear them, I benefit a lot." As soon as Lenas finished speaking, Simon burst out laughing.

Jill looked at Lenas with disbelief and said, "Do you think Aura is just an ugly monkey?

I think I need to remind you that Ora's "Far From Home" was the Billboard's No. 6 song for two weeks. It stayed on the chart for 13 weeks in the first [-] weeks.

The advertising song "Dreams Come True", which she co-produced with Huawei, has now been viewed more than 2 million times on YouTube.

If the commercial jingle hadn't been included in the list, that damn "Dream Come True" would have been number one along with "Far From Home." "

"So?" Lenas shrugged and looked at Jill after hearing this, "She is a Chinese, and she has no idea what kind of music we Americans need.

The first of the three English songs she released is extremely simple, but it is unique because her singing style suits it.

As for the last two songs, one is a self-motivating advertising song, and the other is a clever way to attract attention through weddings.

My second song will be online soon, and that is my best work. No matter how many plays she gets on YouTube, it can't shake my achievements and honors.

Because she doesn’t understand Americans today at all, her lyrics are too serious and too unfree, with no violence, no leaves, no sex, and even no alcohol.

Oh god is she really the same age as me? Her songs made me think she was just a pupil in school. "

"Hahahahaha, as I just said, Lenas, I like your expression so much." Simon burst out laughing when he heard this.

At the same time, in Shanghai, across the Pacific Ocean from the United States, Xu Chuan was also chatting with Remy about Qiu Yicheng's new album while listening to Qiu Yicheng's new songs on the audio equipment he bought at a high price.

"Is Sanger an American?" Remy suddenly asked after listening. She still doesn't know that Xu Chuan is Sanger.

Xu Chuan shook his head when he heard this and said, "No, he is a serious Chinese."

"Did you live in the United States?" Remy continued to ask.

"Why do you ask that?" Xu Chuan did not reply, but asked instead.

"I don't know if you have many contacts with Americans. This song has the flavor of an American song. I don't understand the composition, mainly the lyrics.

How to describe it? It describes the love process that many ordinary Americans look forward to or have experienced. At least the lyrics resonate with them. "Remy thought for a moment and analyzed.

"Really?" Xu Chuan nodded thoughtfully after hearing this.

The song in Remy's mouth is the second song on Qiu Yicheng's album, called "Shape of You (Falling in Love with Special You)".

Of course, you may not be able to recognize it for a while after looking at the name, but when the melody sounds, it is estimated that many people will recognize which song it is.

Compared with Qiu Yicheng's other songs, the lyrics of "Shape of You" can be said to be not "healthy".

Of course it's only compared to Qiu Yicheng's other songs. If you put it in the United States, the lyrics would not even have the meaning to discuss scale.

The general idea of ​​the entire lyrics is about a boy who was drinking with his friends in a bar and met a girl who came over to strike up a conversation. The boy is also in a state of love at first sight for this girl.

Then the two started dancing and then went back to spend the night together.

From then on, the boy fell in love with the girl and started dating the girl.

This is a very simple love story. The special thing is that the language they use to express their love is different from ours.

In the lyrics, the way of expressing love is more reflected in "lust" and "body".

We can't sing these things so directly in the lyrics, we have our own way of expression. Of course, those Rappers are an exception. They claim that they want to learn orthodox black rap, and it is not cool if they don't say a few dirty words.

That's why Remy asked Sanger if he was American.

Because in her impression, if Sanger were Chinese, he would not write such lyrics.

"Speaking of which, "Sugar" is a song from a male perspective, and "Shape of you" is also a song from a male perspective. Is it possible that in Sanger's eyes, Teacher Qiu is really a man?" Remy suddenly added He spoke.

Hearing this, Xu Chuan couldn't hold back his laughter. He shook his head and said, "It doesn't matter. She can sing as a man or a woman. After all, the character is there."

"That's true." Remy nodded after hearing this.

When Xu Chuan saw that Remi believed this statement, a smile appeared on his face.

To be honest, choosing Xu Chuan's song like this is also a helpless move.

Qiu Yicheng's album is a MINI album, and Xu Chuanlong prepared a total of four songs for her.

The original plan was for "Sugar" to take the lead, followed by "Someone like you" and "Rolling in the Deep", which Adele won the Grammy Award for Music of the Year in 2012.

Finally, I will add "My Name is Elaine" to give the French people a taste of the authentic flavor of the orthodox tricolor flag. Look at how it has been invaded now.

But the problem is that both "Sugar" and "My Name is Elaine" are okay, Qiu Yicheng can sing her own flavor.

But Qiu Yicheng couldn't sing Adele's two songs.

It’s not that the vocal range cannot be improved, it’s just that it doesn’t have the energy and flavor of Adele.

In this regard, Xu Chuan's final suggestion is to practice again. Anyway, Qiu Yicheng is still young now. Let's practice for two years and see if it works.

Finally, Xu Chuan changed the song.

Considering the market and the need to win awards, Xu Chuan replaced two other divine songs.

The first song is this "Shape of you".

This is a true song, Billboard’s annual number one single in 2017. It topped the charts the week it was released and then stayed on the charts for 12 consecutive weeks.

Its follow-up was also very strong, staying in the top ten of the list for a total of 33 weeks and in the top 100 for 59 weeks.

At the same time, this song is also the first song to reach one billion plays on Spotify, the largest music streaming platform in the United States, and the most played song in ten years.

IFPI (International Phonographic Federation) ranked first in sales in 2017 and one of the best-selling digital singles in history. The best-selling single of the decade in the UK, and winner of the Grammy Award for Best Pop Performance.

It can be said that from the market data point of view, it is a state where the gods are blocking the gods and the Buddhas are blocking the Buddhas.

The most important thing is that this song is easy to sing, and Qiu Yicheng doesn't feel any pressure when singing it.

As for the other divine song, although it is not easy to sing, it is a healing country music. Qiu Yicheng can interpret it in his own style, so it is in tune with it.

The song is called "Need you now (Need you now)".

This song can be said to be the mother of all major awards. One year after its release, it won a total of 14 awards. It is really hard to win awards.

Let’s put it this way, it won four Grammy awards in 2011 alone, including the most valuable Song of the Year and Production of the Year.

You can actually see it here.

Among the songs prepared by Xu Chuan, the first song has an extremely scary number of MV views, the second song has an extremely exaggerated sound source performance, and the third song has won many awards.

Finally, let’s take a look at the old French style and go to Europe to play retro. It can be said that all aspects are covered.

If this is the case and this album is not successful, then Xu Chuan really has no choice.

"Speaking of which, sometimes I envy Teacher Qiu because so many talented people help her." Remy suddenly sighed as he spoke.

"You are also one of the talented ones." Xu Chuan said with a smile.

As soon as these words came out, Remy was startled, and then he couldn't help covering his mouth and laughed, and the flowers trembled with laughter... No, it was not a flower, but a fruit.

"For the release of the new album this time, we have arranged some local performances for Mr. Qiu in the United States. Do you want to go?" Remy smiled for a while and said seriously.

"Tsk...it makes me dizzy when I talk about this." Xu Chuan couldn't help scratching his head after hearing this, "There are still some things to deal with at hand."

"What about the crew?"

"On the one hand, the crew's affairs are on the other hand. On the other hand, Teacher Lin also has a National Culture Festival. It was originally planned to be held on the Spring Equinox. However, something unexpected happened and it had to be moved to May 51st." Xu Chuan said and leaned back. He leaned back.

"The Spring Equinox, isn't it the 20th? It's already the 18th now." Remy was stunned when he heard this.

"Yes, it's the 20th." Xu Chuan said.

"You said that you came here at the beginning of this year and first worked on the crew of "The Wandering Blue Star" and then released "The Three-Body Problem". Now Teacher Qiu has an English album, and Teacher Lin has a Chinese album. Wind culture festival?

Co-author: Do you plan to make 2020 an exclusive year for your trio? It’s time to give all colleagues a little shock at the beginning of the new year, right? "Remy couldn't help but joked after hearing this.

As soon as these words came out, Xu Chuan was stunned.

To be honest, he really hadn't thought about this place.

Just as he was speaking, he heard Remi say: "I will go to the United States this time too. I have found the best security company. I can rest assured about safety. You don't want to see foreign audiences shouting Teacher Qiu's name." A scene?"

As soon as these words came out, Xu Chuan was really moved.

However, another idea popped into his mind at this time, and he said to Remy: "Do you have the resources of the lobbying company over there?"

"Lobbying the company? How many awards do you plan to help Teacher Qiu win? Teacher Xu, I don't think it's necessary. The quality of the songs matters here. Once the promotional trip to the United States starts, there will be no shortage of awards.

When the Grammys start, let's invest some money in award lobbying. " Remi immediately said after hearing this, he does know this better than Xu Chuan.

"No, no, no, I'm not worried about Teacher Qiu. I'm talking about another thing."

"Another thing?"

"You've seen "The Three-Body Problem", what do you think?"

"Do you want to help "The Three-Body Problem" lobby for foreign awards?" Remy reacted instantly.

"Yes, Hugo Award." Xu Chuan said with a smile. Blue Star’s highest science fiction award is also called the Hugo Award.

Liu had already obtained it once on Earth. If possible, he had no reason not to help him obtain it again on Blue Star.
