Chapter 261 "Mountains and Seas" Is Out of the Circle, the Theme of the Finals Is Announced

After the eighth episode of "Singing Loudly" was broadcast, the topic about the lyrics of "Mountains and Seas" began to ferment on the Internet.

Due to the lyrics of this song, you may feel confused at first listen.

When most of the audience heard this song for the first time, they thought it was a song between men and women complaining about their feelings.

It is normal to feel this way.

After all, the most impressive line in the whole song is "He understands, he understands, I can't afford it, so he turns around and walks towards the sea..."

At first glance, this lyric sounds like a problem between men and women. One party wants too much and the other cannot give it.

Especially in the current marriage and love environment, it is inevitable for people to have such associations.

If this is the only meaning expressed by this song, then the style of the song would be a bit low.

After the performance, the music critic explained the true meaning of the lyrics of "Mountains and Seas", and the audience suddenly understood.

After the music critic finished speaking, the barrage on the special page of Penguin Video's "Singing Loudly" began to explode:

【Fuck! Is this what this song means? The situation immediately became bigger. 】

[I was so frightened that I quickly pulled back the progress bar and listened to it again. After listening to it, I felt completely different. There are only two words to describe my current feeling, damn! 】

[I said the lyrics are a bit strange, it turns out the expression is so tortuous. Who would have thought that the lyrics are about a conversation between myself and myself. 】

[The progress bar has been pulled up to listen to it again for the third time. 】

【Fourth time. 】

【The fifth time. 】

[The more I listen to this song, the more interesting it becomes. When I first didn’t know what the lyrics meant, I always felt that Fang Xing’s singing was a bit strange, and the emotional expression was always different from what I expected. After understanding the meaning of the lyrics, I found that his singing was too precise. He expressed his helplessness in life, his compromise with reality, his unwillingness to his childhood dreams, and his guilt for his past. 】

That night.

Topics related to the lyrics of "Mountains and Seas" quickly became hot searches on Weibo.

Also on the hot search list is another entry, "I can't afford it."

Soon "I can't afford it" became a meme.

Shadiao netizens began to use all kinds of incredible imagination and began to use "I can't afford it" in sentences, and all kinds of connotative jokes were flying all over the sky.

Since the lyrics of "Mountains and Seas" are indeed quite expressive, audiences who understand the meaning of the lyrics can't help but want to express it.

As a result, many viewers began to recommend the song "Mountains and Seas" to their classmates, colleagues, and friends.

Every time I recommend this song, I have to test the other person and ask them if they understand the meaning of the lyrics.

This made "Mountains and Seas" popular all over the Internet at an extremely fast speed.

The meme "I can't afford it" began to appear in the barrage of various programs.

Even on the game live broadcast platform, "I can't afford it" memes started to flood the screen.

[My jungler is level 4 and level 6, and the mid laner wants to kill me with F4. I can't afford it, so I turn around and walk towards the army line. 】

…

The popularity of "Singing Loudly" has in turn made Shen Xiyin's trio continue to gain popularity.

"Super Star" has been dominating the charts for six weeks, and its popularity can actually increase again.

Immediately afterwards, "Mountains and Seas" rushed onto the hot song chart and began to compete with "Super Star" for the top spot on the hot song chart.

The category list of the Music Chart has also added a new category called "Chinese Style".

In this Chinese style category, the entire list is basically occupied by "Blue and White Porcelain", "Fireworks Easily Cold" and "Golden Armor".

After the song "Mountains and Seas" in the eighth episode became popular, the audience became more and more looking forward to the following programs.

This makes the ratings of "Singing Loudly" on Donghai Satellite TV reach the highest value of 2.1% in the past three years, and it is still rising.

The ninth issue of "Singing Loudly" had a ratings of 2.15%, the tenth issue was 2.21%, and the eleventh issue was 2.3%.

This directly made Donghai Satellite TV the king of Saturday prime-time ratings, other than CCTV, during the broadcast period.

To this end, Donghai Satellite TV held a celebration banquet and invited the creative team of "Singing Loudly" to celebrate together.

Wei Shurong, deputy director of Donghai Satellite TV, thanked Tong Fei and Fang Xing in person.

"You two are really great. I didn't expect that "Sing Out Loud" could break Donghai TV's ratings record in the past three years. We must cooperate more in the future."

"Director Wei is so polite. This is what we should do. The program can be popular only with the help of Donghai Satellite TV." Tong Fei and Wei Shurong were polite.

Because of the two examples of "Wulin Gaiden" and "Singing with Sound".

Wei Shurong has found a pattern. As long as the TV series and programs created by Fang Xing are all hits.

Now that we have a pleasant cooperation experience, under this situation, we must continue to close the relationship, so that we can have more opportunities to get Fang Xing's future programs.

Wei Shurong patted Fang Xing on the shoulder and said kindly: "You are really young and promising, you are young and promising."

"Director, thank you." Fang Xing said modestly.

"What are the future project plans?" Wei Shurong asked seemingly casually, obviously wanting to deepen cooperation.

"Right now, I'm busy preparing for the finals of "Singing Loudly", and I don't have any other plans yet." Fang Xing replied casually.

The first eleven episodes of "Sing Out Loud" have been recorded, but the last episode will be broadcast live according to the original plan.

Regarding the live broadcast of the finals, Feifan Entertainment has made arrangements with Donghai Satellite TV.

This live broadcast is planned to use Donghai Satellite TV’s Studio 1.

With the help of Donghai Satellite TV, the live broadcast will definitely be more reliable.

Since the final is broadcast live, it is more difficult than recording.

Therefore, Fang Xing was indeed preparing songs for the finals during this period.

Regarding the cooperation theme of the finals, all participating singers have been notified as early as a month ago.

The theme is "Those who love me and the people I love", the theme is big, and the tone should be on the emotional line.

Basically, only lyrical songs can be sung on this theme.

The reason for this topic to arise was that Tong Fei had communicated with Fang Xing in private.

In fact, Fang Xing’s previous hits “Golden Armor” and “Mountains and Seas” both belong to the rock genre, and the scene was too explosive.

So for the following theme, the capital behind Puxiang and Mailin requested that the finals should be dominated by lyrical slow songs, so this theme was created.

Of course, Tong Fei did not completely compromise.

Only half agreed.

The final is not just one round, but two rounds of competition, so it’s not one song, but two.

Therefore, only the first round of competitions has a theme, and there are no restrictions on the second round of competitions, giving participating singers complete autonomy.

When Tong Fei and Fang Xing communicated privately, they also said that the rules and themes have not been completely finalized. If they must be changed, they can still be changed.

Fang Xing didn't care what the theme of the final was, so he just let Tong Fei watch the arrangements and sing on any theme.

Besides, Fang Xing was a participating singer. In order to respect the competition, he felt that he should not interfere in changing the rules of the competition.

As for the opponent using the power of capital to exert pressure and affect the theme of the game.

After Fang Xing found out, he just curled his lips and ignored it.

Tong Fei explained: "Actually, when the show was promoted, Tan Zhiguan was a part of the show. After all, he is the king. Now Mailin's side is not satisfied with Tan Zhiguan's performance in the show, so what they mean is that he must win the championship in the finals. .”

Fang Xing understood this quite well.

After all, there are even comments on the Internet now that "Singing Loudly" is Tan Zhiguan's Waterloo.

It would be strange for a king like Tan Zhiguan to swallow such a breath.

Tong Fei then added: "What I can do is to make the voting in the finals as fair as possible, but I definitely can't favor you. As for who the final champion will be, it can only depend on the performance of the game. Since it will be broadcast live, it will be broadcast nationwide. The audience votes, so if you want to win, you have to come up with a winning song."

Fang Xing nodded and agreed, "Okay, I understand."

…

Before the broadcast of "Singing Loudly", Fang Xing's popularity and national popularity were already very high. The show became popular again and his popularity among the people was at its peak.

Originally, in "Loud and Singing", the highest ranking person was Tan Zhiguan, followed by Zhang Huiying, and Fang Xing could only count three times.

However, after the show became popular, it was Fang Xing who was discussed the most by the audience.

This gave people the feeling that Tan Zhiguan was arranged to offer sacrifices to heaven in order to push Fang Xing to the top of the music world.

Some viewers even think that Fang Xing is the future new king, and can even be called the little king.

However, if you calculate it carefully, Fang Xing has only made his debut for a year and a half.

In such a short period of time, in a music variety show, the popularity and popularity overshadowed the powerful king in all aspects.

Even Tan Zhiguan himself felt that Fang Xing was used as a stepping stone.

Of course, this is also because his original status is too high, which leads to this gap.

In fact.

When Tan Zhiguan's agent negotiated the contract for "Sing Out Loud", he couldn't have signed a standard contract, it must have been a special contract with some clauses unknown to outsiders.

By the eighth episode of the show, his performance was actually not that bad.

In fact, even the second program he appeared on, with the theme of "Kingdom", was prepared for his hit historical drama hit "The Great Sun" the year before last.

Before the program was recorded, the song "The Great Sun" corresponded to the theme of "royal power" and was a sure win in the eyes of anyone in the industry.

But who would have thought that "The Great Sun" would meet "The Golden Armor".

Moreover, "Sing Out Loud" was positioned from the beginning as a competition-type music variety show for young people.

Therefore, the voting audience is mainly young people.

Therefore, "Golden Armor", a Chinese-style rock song, became the killer of the night, directly preventing Tan Zhiguan from achieving his goal of winning the first period.

Throughout the entire season of the show, excluding the finals, Tan Zhiguan won two Golden Songs of Glory.

In terms of performance alone, it is not unbearably bad.

However, this result is not in line with his status as a king. This is the real reason for his imbalance.

Now.

The show became a hit, and Fang Xing's popularity continued to skyrocket, even overshadowing him on the show.

This sense of gap was getting wider and wider, making him very dissatisfied with the results.

Pengcheng Capital, the company behind Puxiang and Mailin Records, did put pressure on the show and wanted to influence the outcome of the "Sing Out Loud" finals.

However, Feifan Entertainment is the producer of the show.

Therefore, Tong Fei did not completely compromise with capital, but still tried her best to maintain the fairness of the game.

However, the finals will be broadcast live and will be voted on by viewers across the country.

This method of voting actually has many disadvantages.

Because it is very likely that you will spend money to buy tickets, and this situation is difficult to avoid.

During the meeting at Songshi Records, Liang Yusong got some news through industry insiders.

"Puxiang Records and Mailin Records have strengthened their cooperation. It is estimated that in the finals, they may spend money to vote. The competition is very stressful this time. If you want to win, not only must your songs be better than those of the other party, but you may also have to follow them in the outfield. Just pay attention." Liang Yusong has already begun to consider competing with Mailin Records and Puxiang Records off-site.

Now, Fang Xing is already the music director of Songshi Records, and he takes shares in the company. Although it is only 5% in the first year, it will increase by 5% every year, and will eventually reach 20%.

This means that Fang Xing will be the major shareholder of Songshi Records in the future.

The purpose of Songshi Records' offer of such generous conditions was to retain Fang Xing.

If it were another record company, there is a high probability that they would not have such courage and would take out 20% of the shares to retain a music director.

The reason why Songshi Records did this was because Liang Yusong was a music producer and Shi Zhenhong also used to be a musician.

Only two people with a background in music understand the value of Fang Xing.

So they gave 20% of the shares and became partners with Fang Xing.

Now Fang Xing and Songshi Records are deeply tied together, and their interests are related.

Whether Fang Xing can win the championship in the finals of "Sing Out Loud" will also affect the future revenue of Songshi Records.

Therefore, this battle is not just fought by Fang Xing alone.

Instead, the entire Pine Stone Records will join the war.

Moreover, the opponent this time is very powerful.

Puxiang Records and Mailin Records are both larger in scale and strength than Pine Stone Records, and much larger.

Not only that, behind these two record companies, there is also Pengcheng Capital.

Pengcheng Capital represents the interests of the Chen family.

These networks of relationships are connected together like a dragnet in the music industry. It is difficult for anyone who loves music to escape from this network.

Therefore, anyone who understands the current landscape of the Chinese music scene will know what kind of opponents Fang Xing and Songshi Records are facing.

Qiao Yinghong then added: "According to rumors, Tan Zhiguan may ask the diva to help sing this time."

The rules of this final are two rounds of competition.

In the first round, there is a singing session, which means model singers can invite singing guests to participate in the show and sing the theme of "Those who love me and the people I love" together.

The second round is for model singers. Among the new singers who have appeared in the previous eleven rounds, one is selected to cooperate. As long as the new singer is willing, they can form a group.

The pairing of the finals does not need to be done on the show, and the singers can form their own teams offsite.

Since guest singers can be invited in the first round, and the rules have no restrictions on guest singers, it is theoretically in line with the rules to invite the kings and queens to sing.

This is the time when connections are tested. In this regard, Tan Zhiguan has an absolute advantage.
