Chapter 306 Forced to Open

Zhang Yifan's two new songs were defeated by "Dongfeng Po" on the list without any pressure.

Regarding this result, in the eyes of industry insiders, it is not a matter worth discussing at all.

The two songs "East Wind Break", "Play" and "Urbad Girl" were released at about the same time, otherwise no one would compare these songs together.

Too bullying!

But Zhang Yifan's fans are still very determined and express their continued support for their idol.

After trying to launch a campaign to "take back the number one spot on the new song chart" to no avail, many of Zhang Yifan's fans expressed their support on Weibo.

"I don't know why, everyone is saying that the song number one on the list is good, but I just can't appreciate it."

"Same as above, I think so too."

"That's right, Zhang Yifan's two songs are obviously more international."

"Zhang Yifan's two songs are all in English with singing and dancing styles. In fact, this comparison is not fair at all."

"In addition to the domestic new song chart, the two songs "urbadgirl" also appeared on the B chart in the United States! This is the first Chinese singer to do so!"

"As long as everyone knows in their hearts, our goal is the whole world! Love.jpg."

All of a sudden, some of Zhang Yifan's fans turned out to be Kuroye Zhiqiu's most diligent group.

Huahai Entertainment has naturally noticed this kind of comments on the Internet.

After all, these voices were in the minority and could not cause much trouble. However, Huahai Entertainment reminded Ye Zhiqiu not to pay too much attention.

Of course Ye Zhiqiu didn't care.

All adults should understand that you can't please everyone.

There will always be some groups who think that the moon in foreign countries is rounder, and that international standards must be good, and are eager to get closer to each other and seek approval from others.

Ye Zhiqiu feels that it is unnecessary. Recognition and respect are based on strength. Rather than seeking some kind of recognition, he prefers to conquer.

After the first episode of "Singer" ended, Ye Zhiqiu returned to Huahai City in an extremely low-key manner.

However, as the topic of "Chinese style" became more and more popular on the Internet, he could no longer hide it.

At the Huahai Entertainment Building, Song Mei found Ye Zhiqiu in the recording studio and reluctantly said that she still had to hold a simple press conference.

Since the release of "East Wind Break", the number of reporters stationed at the entrance of Hai Entertainment Building has been more than ten times the usual number, which has had a great impact on the company.

Others also need to eat, so it's not good to ignore them like this. It's better to hold a press conference to satisfy them all at once.

As a result, Ye Zhiqiu was "forced to open business" again.

The temporary press conference was set up directly in the lobby of Huahai Entertainment Building, and hundreds of people from dozens of media companies poured in.

When Ye Zhiqiu's figure appeared, the scene exploded, with flashes and "clicking" sounds of taking pictures.

In Huahai Entertainment's own territory, of course the media will not be allowed to mess around.

Facing dozens of media outlets, it is of course impossible for every media outlet to have the opportunity to ask questions. Huahai Entertainment will select some media outlets that it is relatively familiar with and has dealt with to ask questions.

The first reporter named was excited and asked the question he had prepared for a long time.

"Mr. Ye Zhiqiu, may I ask what style of song you plan to sing in the next issue of "Singer"?!"

"Chinese style."

Ye Zhiqiu's answer was without hesitation.

Sure enough! Everyone was so excited that the reporter asked the question quickly: "Can you please reveal the name of the song?"

"inconvenient."

"..." No one cared.

"Many songwriters and singers have said that "East Wind Break" is a pioneering work. What do you think of this praise!?"

"I think they're right."

Everyone's expressions were stunned. They were really not humble at all.

Next, the questions continued, and Ye Zhiqiu answered more than ten questions very briefly. The reporters went back and had articles to write, and they were very happy.

However, as the press conference was about to end, something unexpected happened.

A reporter stood up directly and said loudly: "Mr. Ye Zhiqiu, your "Dongfeng Po" uses a large number of ethnic instruments. There are criticisms on the Internet that it is too ethnic and difficult for foreign mainstream music circles to appreciate! What do you think of this?!

"

When this question came up, the whole place was in an uproar.

This question is very acute!

But everyone's eyes suddenly lit up, and they were all waiting for Ye Zhiqiu's answer.

The emergence of a new thing is always met with praise and doubt.

The Huahai Entertainment staff member who was responsible for calling the questions turned dark and was about to remind Ye Zhiqiu that there was no need to answer.

Unexpectedly, Ye Zhiqiu's expression did not change and he asked directly.

"Why should they appreciate it?"

The reporter who asked the question was stunned and immediately replied: "After all, the European and American music circles are the mainstream now, and many popular music styles originated from each other. We are in the process of catching up..."

"I think you are mistaken." Ye Zhiqiu said directly, "I have no intention of denying a certain music style."

"But I think we can learn from a certain style and take its essence, but we shouldn't blindly imitate it."

"For example, the music form of rap originally originated in poor black communities. Others sang it to express their anger at the current social situation in which they live. However, the cultural atmosphere and social background of different countries are very different."

"Wouldn't it be funny if a Chinese singer copied all the rap that is full of swear words, violence and other elements in order to cater to the so-called international standard?"

"Music style and form are the carrier, and the connotation of the song is the foundation. Since we have our own national culture, why don't we sing out what belongs to us?"

"If you blindly cater to others, you will only lose yourself in the end. The traditional culture belonging to our nation needs to be inherited, innovated and carried forward. This is our own cultural confidence."

Having said this, Ye Zhiqiu paused, looked around the audience, or thought deeply, or looked excited, or just looked at the reporters taking pictures of him, and said the last sentence.

"Only what belongs to the nation belongs to the world."

After the words fell, the audience was speechless for a long time, and then thunderous applause broke out.

Behind the reporters, several executives including Li Wenrui, Song Mei, and music director Chen Haitao were present.

"What belongs to the nation belongs to the world..." Chen Haitao took a deep breath and sighed: "That's well said."

"Our five-thousand-year-old Chinese civilization has too many good things. But no matter how good the things are, they must be innovated and developed with the times."

"At least on the road of music, I think 'Chinese style' has achieved it."

Li Wenrui nodded and said nothing.

Now he only has one feeling. The cooperation between Huahai Entertainment and Ye Zhiqiu was definitely the right thing he did.

After this question, the reporter who only wanted to dig up big news sat down in shame, embarrassed to ask any more questions.

However, he still got what he wanted.
