I really don't want to be the top streamer anymore

Chapter 208 "Meeting" (6k chapter)

Even director Deng Baoliang didn't expect that the news about the third song in Su Zhi's album would be released before the show even aired, and it would become so popular.

They didn't even need to promote it too hard, the trending searches had already dominated the list for the entire day.

Judging from the situation, it’s possible that the data from the subsequent episodes may be able to break the record of their show again.

"We applied to broadcast it one day in advance. There is finally news about Su Zhi's new album!"

"I can't wait. I can't listen to Su Zhi's new song. I feel itchy all over."

"I thought they wouldn't release all of the songs this year. I hope they won't keep squeezing the toothpaste and release all the songs from the new album at once!"

I have to say that the audience's appetite has been whetted too high.

It has been about a month since the release of the previous song "Love Song".

Together with the instantly popular "The Wind Rises", Su Zhi's new album is definitely the most popular in the entire Chinese music scene.

……

"Okay, I was careless before. It is indeed a question whether Su Zhi's subsequent album can be released in full this year."

“Mainly because this is still only the third song on the album so far.”

"If we keep up this pace, it will be at least June or July next year before all the songs on this album are released."

At this time in Feiniao's live broadcast room, although the program had not been officially broadcast yet, he had already started broadcasting in advance and chatting with the audience.

"But good things come late."

“If the entire album can maintain the quality of the first two songs, it doesn’t matter if it’s a little later.”

"It's just a pity. If that happens, this year's Album of the Year award probably won't have anything to do with Su Zhi."

Because the three major domestic music awards, such as the Best Album award, which is very prestigious, would definitely not be given to an album that has not yet been fully released.

There is not even a chance to be shortlisted.

However, as long as the quality is maintained, even if we don’t win the award this year, it will almost certainly be a win next year.

……

"If they really don't finish issuing them this year, then Yang Jiangjie is really lucky."

"Right now, I guess the only ones who hope that Su Zhi's album releases the remaining songs slowly are Yang Jiangjie and a few other singers who might be nominated, right?"

"Yang Jiangjie's fans had been bragging about it before, but now they are making a wish on Weibo that Su Zhi's album will be released more slowly. The scene is really hilarious."

When talking about Su Zhi's new album, the barrage quickly turned the topic to Yang Jiangjie.

There is no way. After all, if Su Zhi's album had not been released, the person most likely to win the award this year would be Yang Jiangjie.

But if Su Zhifa won, Yang Jiangjie's chances of winning the award would almost completely fall to the bottom in the eyes of most people.

Although Feiniao was indeed unhappy with Yang Jiangjie, if it were in the past, he would probably have started to act sarcastic by now.

But now his fans have increased too much, and he has almost become the blogger with the most fans among the sharp comment bloggers. Even in his live broadcast room, there are more than 30,000 people online.

Of course, you need to be careful in what you say and do.

So I selectively ignored the rhythmic comments on the barrage at this time.

Of course, although he wouldn't mention it, he didn't intend to stop it either.

It is normal that he cannot influence netizens’ opinions.

Because these people really expressed the thoughts of Fat Bird.

It's true that Yang Jiangjie is talented, but he is too pretentious.

The key point is that not long after debut, the trend of fans becoming fan clubs has become very obvious.

If it were some other artists, facing Yang Jiangjie's highly combative fans, they would probably surrender in a short period of time.

But the person opposite you is Xu Kong. Don’t think that now that Xu Kong has almost completed his transformation, he has forgotten his previous identity.

In terms of fan fighting power alone, Yang Jiangjie is really not as good as Xu Kong.

……

After continuing to chat for a while, the latest episode of "Autumn Concert" was finally aired.

At this time, Fat Bird also calmed down and began to watch the show seriously.

Originally, he wanted to skip the chatting part.

But I heard a few people start talking about Xu Kong's new drama "The Long Season" as soon as they came up.

Fat Bird couldn't help but continue watching.

"Shit, Shi Wencheng's idea is exactly the same as mine!"

“I had originally planned to make a video analyzing the soundtrack of The Long Season.”

This Shi Wencheng was naturally the folk singer who praised Xu Kong on the show at that time.

Fat Bird had even specifically criticized the other party before.

But at this time I heard people talking about the soundtrack of "The Long Season".

Fei Niao felt that he had met the other party too late.

"The popular interludes and soundtracks of "The Long Season" are not as good as those of Xu Kong's previous two dramas"

"This is mainly because the style of the songs is either quite old-fashioned or a bit niche."

"But in fact, the soundtrack of this drama is really worth listening to separately."

……

Netizens in the live broadcast room have long been accustomed to Fat Bird’s excited reaction at this time.

"It's over. Xu Chui met Xu Chui. This is like meeting a bosom friend."

"Fat Bird's criteria: As long as you can make a promise, we are all good friends."

"I declare that Shi Wencheng has obtained a short-term free-spray experience card from Fei Niao!"

Fat Bird is indeed a little too real. As long as it's praised Xu Kong, he basically feels a sense of identity.

In fact, Feiniao was somewhat resistant to the so-called "Xu Chui" label at the beginning.

After all, he has always claimed that his sharp reviews will basically remain absolutely objective, fair and just.

I even thought about whether I should make a special video criticizing Xu Kong to prove my own identity.

Until later, Fatty finally came to his senses.

He just likes Xu Kong's songs, he is absolutely awesome. The quality of the songs and Xu Kong's performance are there, it's not something shameful.

As for his haters, even if it's not because of this, they can always find reasons to criticize him.

So after letting himself go, the title of Fat Bird Xu Chui Leader has now spread completely, and it is the kind that cannot be taken back.

The most important thing is that Feiniao himself is not like those music critics who consider themselves to be literati. He has never thought about these things.

After listening to Xu Kong's songs during a live broadcast, he couldn't help but say: "If Xu Kong could release his album earlier, he would be my real father!"

Only a fat bird could say such words.

Even if other music critics did praise the song, at most they would just use more words of praise.

When it comes to the fat bird, it feels more and more abstract.

……

"It's OK. There's nothing wrong with the performance. It's just that they're all old songs, and it's not live. I can't find any faults with the performance."

"As for the song itself, I will not comment on it for now."

After watching the performances of Yang Jiangjie, Xie Yiman, and Shi Wencheng, Feiniao remained calm throughout and just made a casual comment.

Originally, based on his previous sharp comments on Shi Wencheng, such as "whining without reason" and "I don't know who is listening to Shi Wencheng", he must have disliked this independent folk singer.

But when I thought about the other party's praise for "The Long Season" just now, I felt that Fei Niao resonated with it very much, so I felt a little embarrassed to make any more sharp comments.

And everyone actually knows who the protagonist of this episode is.

It’s not a competitive variety show, so there’s no need for Feiniao to comment on every singer’s performance.

"Looking back, the clouds blocked my way home"

"Looking back, the thorns are densely covered"

……

It was not until Xu Kong performed that the song "Looking Back" came out.

The number of comments in Feiniao's live broadcast room suddenly increased again.

"Fuck, why is this song?"

"Xu Kong must have done this on purpose. I finally got over it, but now it reminds me of the plot in the drama again."

"No way, buddy, how come I have to get stabbed again just for watching a variety show?"

"I really suspect Xu Kong has a bad taste in this area and enjoys stabbing the audience."

Although "The Long Season" is not as popular as "The Legend of Sword and Fairy".

But as a hit drama, the audience base is still very large.

Especially in Feiniao's live broadcast room, Xu Kong has quite a few passers-by or fans.

When they heard this song, they couldn't hold back.

……

"Let's not talk about why Xu Kong chose this song. Judging from his performance as a whole, his singing skills have obviously improved."

"The most difficult part of this song is not the singing technique, but the need to bring out the atmosphere of the era. Obviously, Xu Kong's ability in this area was overlooked by us before."

Feiniao has naturally finished watching the drama "The Long Season". When he heard the ending song again, his mood was naturally a bit complicated.

But out of his professional ethics, he still focused his attention on commenting on Xu Kong's live performance.

"Because Xu Kong has always been a lyricist and composer, people often overlook his basic skills as a singer."

"If you have seen Xu Kong's debut performance, you might understand how I feel right now."

Although he has never denied his title as the leader of Xu Chui.

But every time they talked about it, Fat Bird was relatively restrained.

Especially songs like this that have been released before.

If it was the first time he heard it, Fei Niao might not be able to control his emotions as calmly as he is now.

……

"Okay, we've finally finished the appetizers, and the main course will follow!"

Like everyone else, Feiniao is most looking forward to the third song of Su Zhi's new album, which was announced by the official earlier in this episode of "Autumn Concert".

As Su Zhi walked onto the not-so-big stage in the show, the lights on the scene turned dim.

It reflects the grass not far away and the night view of the river.

A light piano prelude sounded. Although Su Zhi hadn't spoken yet, the atmosphere instantly became full.

"Meeting" (a new song from Su Zhi's new album "Su Xu")

"Singer: Su Zhi"

"Lyrics: Xu Kong"

"Composition: Xu Kong"

……

As the relevant subtitles of the song appeared, the program team was very considerate and helped mark that this was a song from Su Zhi's new album.

It can be considered as indirect help in publicity.

"I heard winter leaving" "I woke up in a certain month and year"

"I think, I wait, I look forward to it"

“The future cannot be arranged by this”

Su Zhi's voice is very soft, and her voice almost perfectly fits the melody at the beginning of the song.

Especially the punctuation in "Hearing winter leave".

Like the previous "Love Song", this is a new song with a soothing melody and a lyrical style.

However, judging from the beginning alone, this song "Meeting" is more memorable than the previous "Love Song" in terms of both listening and melody.

The most important thing is that this is almost another new song tailor-made for Su Zhi.

If it was a different singer, it might not feel that way.

I have to say that Xu Kong is really the lyricist and composer who understands Su Zhi the best.

The quality of the songs in Su Zhi's album is in stark contrast to the songs in her previous album.

……

At this time, Su Zhi also sang the chorus of the whole song.

“Who will I meet and what kind of conversation will we have?”

"How far in the future is the person I'm waiting for?"

Although there were still no drastic emotional ups and downs, the stunningness of the chorus still surprised Fat Bird at this time.

Almost the most eye-catching thing in the beginning is the piano accompaniment in the arrangement.

Especially the short interlude in the middle, which can be said to be the finishing touch.

But when it came to the chorus, Su Zhi's singing voice was highlighted.

Moreover, the quality of the melody of the whole song is quite high, and the lyrics are written quite neatly yet not lacking in spirit.

Although he had expected this, the quality of this new song in Su Zhi's album exceeded Fei Niao's expectations.

……

"I heard the wind coming from the subway and the crowd"

"I'm standing in line, holding the number plate of love"

At the end of the chorus, there is still the very memorable piano accompaniment, and this time there is also a guitar.

The whole song doesn't seem to be the type that uses high notes or full of technique to make people exclaim "nb" after listening to it once.

But the soothing style with a hint of sadness is what Su Zhi has always been best at.

"It sounds good!"

"This song is perfect for Su Zhi. I've been playing the song 'Love Song' on repeat before, and now I finally have a new song to listen to."

"That's what it should be like. This is the song that the singing queen Su Zhi should sing!"

Obviously, almost no netizens in the live broadcast room disliked this song.

Most of the fans or passers-by who had liked listening to Su Zhige in the past were even more excited at this time.

In their opinion, the song "Meeting" is a slow-paced love song that is most suitable for Su Zhi.

Even more suitable than the previous song "Love Song".

……

"Meeting you is the most beautiful accident"

"One day, my mystery will be revealed."

Although the whole song is more than three minutes long, it is actually a normal length.

But because the lyrics and structure are so regular, the completeness of the entire song reaches a very high level.

This made Fat Bird feel like he had finished listening to the song in one go and he hadn't heard enough.

When I listened to it for the first time, the melody and arrangement alone were enough to appreciate it.

The lyrics are obviously worth listening to a few more times.

Fat Bird didn't hesitate much and just went back to continue listening.

"This song is actually not difficult. At least for a singer like Su Zhi, it can even be said to be a little too simple."

"But it is indeed very suitable for Su Zhi. Su Zhi herself is a singer with a very talented voice. It is very rare to have such a song that is completely in her comfort zone and of such high quality."

“It can be said that not every singer can encounter a song that suits them.”

"From this perspective, Xu Kong is indeed Su Zhi's benefactor."

……

It was not that Fat Bird intentionally brought the topic back to Xu Kong.

Although the song was originally written by Xu Kong, strictly speaking, the singer is Su Zhi, and this album is also Su Zhi's album.

But what he said was also true.

If Xu Kong wasn't there, Su Zhi would still be a very promising singer with great future prospects.

However, works like "Meeting" and the previous "Love Song" that are so well suited to her voice and style are completely rare.

Xu Kong's ability as an album producer and songwriter is indeed a bit too exaggerated.

The quality of the song is only one aspect. The most important thing is to be able to write a song that is so suitable for the singer himself.

Writing songs specifically for singers is not uncommon in the music industry, and many songwriters have done this.

There are many successful cases among them.

But people like Xu Kong are indeed very rare.

……

"I suggest that the kings and queens of the music industry, and even the first-tier singers, should really invite Xu Kong to sing songs if possible."

"From what happened with Hua Hongjuan and Su Zhi before, Xu Kong probably knows better than you what kind of songs are suitable for you."

Fat Bird spoke very sincerely.

He didn't say this to praise Xu Kong, it was a sincere suggestion from the bottom of his heart.

Sometimes, I have to work hard to find songwriters and composers to collaborate with, as well as some high-quality new songs.

Even releasing an entire album might not have as obvious an effect as one song by Xu Kong.

"The host said it so simply, why don't you go and ask Xu Kong for a song?"

"They couldn't get Xu Kong to write songs for them. Is it because they didn't want to?"

"Don't give random suggestions. It is said that the prices of Xu Kong's songs have been driven up to the sky by the industry. What can we do if he just doesn't agree?"

Seeing the complaints in the barrage, there were even some revelations from so-called industry insiders.

Only then did Fat Bird remember that he had taken things for granted.

After all, it is impossible that he is the only "smart guy" who discovered Xu Kong's ability in this area.

It is estimated that the number of singers who have actively invited Xu Kong to write songs for him is frighteningly large. But so far, except for Su Zhi and Hua Hongjuan before, even if Song Youyou, who wrote songs for fun, is included, Xu Kong has only written songs for three people other than himself.

It is very likely that Xu Kong rejected it.

After all, with Xu Kong’s current fame and three consecutive hit dramas.

In fact, the money earned from writing songs is probably not that bad.

Feiniao also realized that he could no longer treat Xu Kong as the newcomer who had just entered the top of the domestic entertainment industry.

Now Xu Kong really has the qualifications to be so willful.

……

In fact, while Feiniao was still listening to the song, Su Zhi's new song "Meeting" had already become very popular.

It directly topped the trending searches on Weibo.

On the two major music platforms, the audio source released directly soared to the first place of various charts.

"Every time I almost forget about Su Zhi's new album, she releases a new song that really suits my taste. How can I finish releasing the remaining songs?"

"I like each of the three songs in Su Zhi's new album more than the last. Please speed up the process. I can't wait to listen to the entire album!"

"I don't think it's Su Zhi's fault. Let's go and urge Xu Kong. He is the key!"

The most common thing netizens are doing at this time is naturally to urge Su Zhi to continue releasing songs.

Several months have passed since the first song "The Wind Rises" was released, and only three songs have been released in total.

In today's music scene, this is absolutely rare.

The key point is that singers who are not confident in the quality of their albums will choose to procrastinate.

But Su Zhi's is completely different. Each of her three songs is more popular than the other, and there are almost no negative reviews.

Of course, netizens couldn’t understand it.

……

However, Su Zhi's personal studio soon updated the latest developments.

Officially announced the news of the personal concert.

It was also directly announced that the songs from the new album will be played in subsequent concerts.

Because of the high popularity of the song "Meet", the news of Su Zhi's concert once again triggered an exaggerated discussion.

Some people have even started asking when the ticket sales channel for Su Zhi's concert will be opened.

"Isn't this a bit too enthusiastic?"

At this time in Su Zhi's studio, even Yuan Yinan had seen such a situation for the first time.

It’s not like Su Zhi hasn’t held concerts before, and the tickets sold quite well, but they were far from being as popular as this.

“I was worried that the tickets wouldn’t sell out.”

She and Xu Kong had previously discussed the choice of venue for the first concert in Beijing.

Xu Kong directly asked her to book the largest gymnasium in Beijing.

The capacity can reach almost 90,000 people, even if not all seats will be open.

But at least 50,000 house numbers must be released.

Even for some singing kings and queens, it is hard to say whether the tickets for a concert of this scale can be sold out.

Except for some veteran superstars with exaggerated popularity, it is actually irrational for young singers like Su Zhi to hold such a large-scale concert.

But Xu Kong was very determined at that time, and Yuan Yinan finally listened to Xu Kong's advice.

However, in this case, the scale is almost two or three times larger than originally expected, and the workload of this concert has doubled.

But the good news now is that, at least for the first show in Beijing, with the popularity of the song "Meet", there will be no problem selling tickets.

……

In addition to Yuan Yinan, Deng Baoliang, the director of "Autumn Concert" at this time, was also shocked.

He knew that Su Zhi's new song would be very popular this time, but he didn't expect it to be that popular.

The ratings and playback volume of this episode reached a rather exaggerated level.

It was so exaggerated that when he looked at the data, he found that the number of views seemed to have exceeded the first episode of "Singer" some time ago.

But wasn’t this show originally just a supporting role? He was already planning to start it!
