Chapter 98 Didn't he come to silence him?(1/2)
"The Voice of the Midsummer" is a music talent show that Xia Shi purchased foreign copyrights.
I hope to select a very talented singer or creator from the "grassroots amateurs".
The main selection method is live voting and scoring, because older viewers are unfamiliar with electronic products, designing programs in this way mainly target young people.
Specifically, it is the audience group between the ages of 12 and 35. This type of people have similar acceptance of the song style. Although there is a generation gap, it will not be too big.
The mainstream style in the Xia Kingdom music scene is still mainly pop music, and folk songs, rock and other styles are relatively niche.
Because Xia Guo’s literature and art are weak in the international field, the music field is greatly influenced by Europe, America and Japan and Goryeo. Every year, at least 70% of the music on the market is cover works.
Local originals only account for 30% of the market.
It is because of this that Xia Shi hopes to use this program to improve the status of local original music and enrich the style.
However, based on audience considerations, there are still many foreign songs participating in the competition, because of this cultural poor understanding, between the Chinese songs that you are used to and the foreign songs that you cannot understand.
Most viewers subconsciously believe that Chinese songs are much more "rustic". In addition to being a cultural inferiority complex, it is more important because of a psychological phenomenon called "shyness in the mother tongue".
This phenomenon is the main reason why "foreign monks are good at chanting scriptures".
Two scenarios can be imagined for shyness in the native language:
The first one is it easier to say "I love you" to your favorites, or is it easier to say "iloveyou"?
The second type is whether others say "*Green and cold" to you or "f??k??you" to you?
It is also in music. Music is an art of using melodies to set off words. Therefore, when accepting the meaning of the lyrics in the native language, you will subconsciously develop a sense of shame, which also leads to people's main reason for the Chinese "local" and "vulgar".
In fact, when thinking from the perspective of others, foreigners will also become shy when listening to Chinese, thinking that Chinese is better.
"Maomao Song" is a song that fully expresses its shyness in the mother tongue. From the lyrics to the melody, it is full of "earth" and "vulgarity". Although Zhou Bu used a lot of skills to show it, it still couldn't do it.
So he knew it clearly when scolded.
But being insulted to such a degree was still a little beyond his tolerance.
‘local dog’, ‘vulgar’, ‘shamed in the music industry’, ‘mother’, ‘disgusting’……
Countless vicious words flashed in his eyes, making him feel a little breathless. After all, he had just left the campus for two years, and his overwhelming malice almost drowned him.
He hid in the corner of the backstage, holding his phone with his expression numbly flipping through the comments.
He didn't understand that he just sang a song according to the needs of the program team.
Why does it feel like he committed a heinous crime?
In fact, he doesn't hate anyone, he's just a little confused.
What am I doing wrong?
Zhou Bu questioned himself unconsciously, but felt that the world was getting darker and darker.
Just as the darkness was about to devour him, he found a different voice in his all-in-one abusive comments.
‘Being misunderstood is the fate of the confidant.’
This comment without any stance seemed to be like a ray of light that pierced the darkness and shocked Zhou Bu's spirit.

Qian Changming shook his head helplessly and chatted for a few words. Zhen Yi knocked in the door and brought Zhou Bu, who was huddled behind him and looked like a quail.
Zhou Bu is just a small "extra" and never dares to dream of one day entering the director's office, even if he is a deputy.
"Hello, Mr. Zhou, I am Wang Shifeng." Wang Shifeng stood up and stretched out his hand to Xiang Zhou Bu.
Wang Shifeng?
Zhou Bu, whose mind was still muddy, heard the name, and his pupils shrank violently. He subconsciously held his hand, but couldn't speak.
"Mr. Zhou, I deeply apologize for the impact the song has brought to you." Wang Shifeng looked solemn and bowed slightly.
"No...it's okay, don't say that, it has nothing to do with you." Zhou Bu came back to his senses, shook his head in panic, took a few steps back, his expression a little timid.
"Mr. Zhou, don't be nervous, I'm here to deal with the problem." Wang Shifeng raised the corner of his mouth and tried his best to make his smile a little friendly.
But I didn't expect that this kind of smile reminded Zhou Bu of the horror movie I watched not long ago, where there was a big villain in it, which was this kind of smile!
He wasn't here to silence him!
Zhou Bu was even more scared and his shoulders were trembling.
"Mr. Zhou, I negotiated with the company about today's matter and was willing to sign an exclusive contract with you to become a singer of Xinghe Media. You can check it out this contract." Wang Shifeng handed over the contract.
Zhou Bu was a little surprised and subconsciously took over the contract, but did not open it.
He was just a little dazed. He was signed by an economic company or a well-known company. It was something he had always dreamed of since his sophomore year.
But for some reason, after two years of hard work and today's events, he suddenly lost expectations for this industry.
From the day he was admitted to the music school, everyone told him how cruel and unfair the industry was, but until today, he finally saw that people's words are terrifying.
In the past, he saw some artists being attacked by various kinds of attacks, but now it hurts to stab him.
He began to hesitate whether he could integrate into this industry, adapt to this environment, and continue to stick to the music he loved.
"Sorry, Mr. Wang, I may not have decided whether to enter this industry." Zhou Bu handed the contract back.
Zhou Bu's actions made Wang Shifeng frown, "Mr. Zhou, please take the blame. I have investigated some of your basic information. You graduated from a professional college and have been engaged in related work since graduation. Maybe you should check the conditions. Although the Galaxy is not big, it will definitely not harm artists."
"No, it's not a matter of conditions, it's because I suddenly felt a little scared and felt that I might not be suitable." Zhou Bu shook.
"I judge by my professionalism that you are definitely suitable for singing, and your voice is very good." Wang Shifeng said sincerely.
Your professionalism?
If you mention this, I will not be able to sign a contract!
If it weren't for your profession, how could I have lost my dream of music!
Zhou Bu looked at Wang Shifeng with a strange look on his face.
"Thank you for your kindness." Zhou Bu refused again, his tone becoming more and more firm.
"Is it because of an online attack?" Wang Shifeng asked with a frown.
Zhou Bu remained silent.
Compared to those attacks, your professionalism shocked me even more...
"Mr. Zhou, I have a question to ask you, are you singing for others or for yourself?" Wang Shifeng asked.
"I love singing and hope that my singing can bring touching and happiness to others." Zhou Bu was silent for a moment and said out loud.
"Since that's the case, you should know that everyone's preferences are different. If you give up because of a small group of people who hate you and give up singing to those who like you, would that be a pity?" Wang Shifeng persuaded in a gentle tone.
"But no one likes me singing." Zhou Bu lowered his head.
"How could it be? If you don't believe it, look." Wang Shifeng picked up his phone and found the hot search, clicked on the comments, and forced it to Zhou Bu's eyes. "Look at these comments, look at this one, um..."
"Or this one... well... um"
"This one should...ah..."
Wang Shifeng's fingers quickly pulled down, and after playing for more than ten seconds, he tried to find a complimentary comment to give Zhou Bu some encouragement.
But unfortunately, no.
Zhou Bu's mouth twitched, and he finally relieved his mentality from these vicious comments, and now he was forced to look at it for a while.
The mentality completely collapsed.
Brother, are you here to extinguish the last bit of love for music in my heart?
"Okay, don't care about these comments." Wang Shifeng put away his phone and looked at Zhou Bu with sincere eyes. "At least, I like to listen to your singing, you believe me."
From Wang Shifeng's bright eyes, Zhou Bu really felt sincerity and was also a little moved.
However, he knew that he could not bear this touch.
He was a little broken and wanted to cry.
Is even a person like Wang Shifeng worthy of being liked by me singing?
Then I shouldn't be suitable for singing.
"Thank you, Mr. Wang, for your wrong love, but I have decided. Today is my curtain call. I want to find a class to be honest in the future." Zhou Bu sniffed, his tone choked.
To be honest, he was reluctant to give up on music.
But he knew that after today, he would always bear the name of ridicule.
He did not blame anyone, including Wang Shifeng.
"Teacher Wang, it seems that Mr. Zhou should take time to consider it. The show is about to have half an hour left. Mr. Zhou has a performance. Let Mr. Zhou prepare well and you will talk about the signing of the contract later." Qian Changming spoke out and wanted to win the honor of Wang Shifeng.
He knew that Wang Shifeng needed a step now.
"Has." Wang Shifeng sighed regretfully. He did not expect that such an excellent musician would be ruined by the abominable keyboard warrior.
He is very worried about his heart, but he is very worried about his heart.
He didn't want to see such a potential "Star of Tomorrow" fall, so he decided to try again.
To be continued...
