Chapter 90 Anxious Waiting

Mei Fengchun's family originally disapproved of her learning music and becoming a singer.

On the one hand, the status is not high and the social perception is poor. The traditional culture is not very supportive of women's public appearances.

If Jin Shi hadn't been the matchmaker, most of the people in this line were acquaintances, and there would be nothing wrong with her at all.

This is how society operates. In anything you do, you cannot avoid being human.

After explaining the matter clearly, Jin Shang drove Mei Fengchun home, declined the other party's invitation to go in and sit down, and prepared to pick up his girlfriend Li Xuan to go home for dinner.

When Mei Fengchun opened the door and walked into the house, the sun had not completely set, but dinner at home was already ready.

"Come back so early?"

"Today is the weekend. I have worked very diligently during the day, but working overtime at night is too much. After finishing the business, my little cousin drove me back."

"He...has been here? Why didn't you let him come in and sit..."

"I said I was going home for dinner with my girlfriend."

No excuses or anything like that, I don’t plan to come and nag you anyway.

"Really!"

Mei Xinghong sighed with regret, lazily leaning on the sofa and watching TV.

"We'll have dinner together when the others come back. By the way, have you finished singing your song?"

"It's coming soon, it will be available in a month at most."

"That's quite fast! You are still a student now. You can sing, but you can't delay your studies..."

"I know, this is also part of the internship! Aunt, are you...already waiting? There are still three hours, so let's take a rest first."

Since Mei Fengchun was not at home during the day, she didn't know how long Mei Xinghong had been sitting in front of the TV. It was estimated that it would not be short.

"Um!"

He promised, but his body didn't move.

"Uncle hasn't been here much recently!"

"I'm busy buying and opening a store. I said I wanted to be a clothing brand. I didn't do it when I was young. Now I'm messing around..."

"Uncle and you are both still young!"

He kept talking, and seeing that his aunt Mei Xinghong was a little distracted and had no intention of talking to her, Mei Fengchun made an excuse, went to wash up, and then returned to her room.

"We are not a family, we don't belong to the same family! We are all stubborn donkeys, and we are not tired of fighting with ourselves for so many years."

Cursing a few words secretly in her heart, Mei Fengchun lazily leaned on the chair in front of her desk, reflecting on what she had gained during the day.

Different from the knowledge learned in college classes, the details in commercial operations deviate greatly from the theory.

Regardless of the fact that the textbooks are all compiled in recent years, there is no essential difference from those decades or even hundreds of years ago.

In the past half century, society and economy have developed rapidly, cultures have continued to blend, and many styles and genres have been born in the music circle.

However, in the eyes of professionals, they are just a dojo in a snail shell, and the truly groundbreaking stuff is close to zero.

After entering college, Mei Fengchun intuitively felt that this industry was declining, and even the so-called masters were only tinkering on the basis of their predecessors;

From a layman's point of view, there are fewer and fewer beautiful songs with beautiful melodies.

Occasionally, there are masterpieces that catch people's ears. Practitioners with a little basic knowledge will know where they came from as soon as they hear it. The rhythm has been slightly changed, the loudness has been slightly increased, etc., such as the "most familiar unfamiliar chord" - the Canon chord, translated

If you look through the new works on the market in recent years, you can find some of the more popular variations of canon chords in more than half of them.

The most embarrassing thing is that Mei Fengchun clearly feels that top art schools like Yangyin have also been severely eroded by society. Not only has the atmosphere become more and more vulgar, but the teaching direction has also become more and more quick and quick.

Already.

After joining in the promotion plan of the song "Shui Tiao Ge Tou·When Will the Bright Moon Come" led by Jin Shang, Mei Fengchun truly felt that the basic knowledge taught by the school teachers is still very solid, that is, to understand the changes in the market.

Popular trends and the application of the latest technology are not only insensitive, but even vaguely repulsive.

As the top music school in the country, necessary persistence is necessary. However, it does not pay attention to the music forms that the masses like to hear and see, and blindly pursues the so-called "advanced" music. In traditional opera, bel canto, ethnic,

Opera, symphony and other fields are spinning, and it is indeed suspected of working behind closed doors.

Of course, this is true all over the world, not just in China. After all, high art still has some foundation.

After several conversations with Jin Shang, a half-baked person, and Luo Yang, a senior practitioner, Mei Fengchun also understood that popular pop music is indeed declining at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The depletion of creative inspiration and the loss of talent are only one aspect of this. Practitioners are also more inclined to use "short-term, quick" strategies to make money out of the pockets of listeners with low appreciation.

Music dreams, actor dreams, drama dreams, opera dreams, all eventually turned into dreams of getting rich; the music industry, film and television industry, media industry, and modeling industry will all move closer to the entertainment industry in the future.

"The era of national entertainment and over-consumption of celebrities is approaching, and it is a high probability that they will go further and further down the road of low-level taste."

"It's like going to a restaurant. Now I just feel that the food is not delicious and the chef's skills are a bit poor, but actually it's pretty good. When my colleagues all serve sour porridge to entertain guests, I can already consider myself conscientious if I can serve dishes that won't cause diarrhea.

Even one day, all the shit is served on the market, what can you do? Choose a hot one, hold your nose and eat it, what else can you do..."

When Jin Shang told jokes jokingly, Mei Fengchun was still a little unconvinced and retorted loudly.

"Aren't you going to eat at the head office? The smell is quite unpleasant..."

"I've lived in Orchid House for a long time and don't smell its fragrance, and I've lived in Bao City for a long time and don't smell its smell. Experts like you are only a minority after all. The people like to hear and see, but if you don't like it, who do you think they are?"

Hearing these words, Mei Fengchun seemed to have seen his little cousin talking nonsense and talking nonsense again when he was a child. He wanted to go up and punch him a few times and sew up his bad mouth.

Fortunately, years of self-cultivation has paid off.

Mei Fengchun, who suppressed her unhappiness, patiently tried to sing over and over again. After returning home and calming down, the depressing thoughts came to mind again.

After carefully considering everything over the years, including my academic experience, personal experiences, and chats between friends, I feel more and more that Jin Shang's judgment is most likely right.

When I think about the future music industry, it will be a world where each other is worse than the other, and I feel a sense of powerlessness in my heart.

"At least, I have to be persistent and will never join in the trend."

While I was thinking wildly, there was a knock on the door.

"Sister Xiaochun, it's time to eat!"

"I'll be right away."

After Er Hui came back, he asked his cousin to come to dinner very attentively.

Mei Fengchun's second uncle, the eldest son has graduated from college and is working in his own business, and his two daughters are still in school. The youngest brother "Er Hui" is named Mei Wenlong, because the eldest son is called Mei Wenhui, the younger son's nickname.

Just call it "Er Hui", and when you call it again and again, this skinny monkey becomes "Er Hui".

As for why he is not called "Xiao Hui", Mei Fengchun's family also has a "San Hui" who is two years younger than Mei Wenlong.

The nicknames in Jingcheng are so casual, and the same is true for the Nan brothers' Da Biao and Xiao Biao.

When Mei Fengchun walked into the restaurant, she saw her aunt Mei Xinghong and Er Hui waiting.

"It's just us?"

"Entertainment!"

"oh!"

Such a result is quite common.

Mei Fengchun often stayed at her second uncle's house because it was close to the school; Mei Xinghong wanted to be closer to the Jin family, and her brothers were also worried about what would happen to her alone, so they often moved her

Take it over and stay for a while.

The second uncle's family is busy with business and has many social events, so they are often away from home. It is also a good thing to have two adults watching over the children at home.

Er Hui, who was in a hurry, finished his meal and wanted to go outside to play. Mei Xinghong glared at her for a few times and then went back to his room to do his homework.

Mei Fengchun persuaded with a smile:

"It's summer vacation. It's okay for the kids to relax a bit."

"Um!"

Mei Xinghong, who put down her chopsticks after eating very little, sighed,

"In the afternoon, someone came to complain, saying that Er Hui was playing with others, knocked down the motorcycle, and broke the rearview mirror..."

"Eh? Are you okay..."

"It's okay. I just scratched the skin and applied some medicine."

As for compensation, neither of them mentioned much. Everyone living nearby was either rich or wealthy, so no one would get into trouble over such a trivial matter.

Seeing her aunt's melancholy expression, and probably thinking about what to do if a similar incident happened to Jin Shang when she was a child, Mei Fengchun quickly changed the topic and said:

“I don’t know if many people will watch the program featuring Ashang.”

"There should be quite a few! There have been several rounds of previews. The college entrance examination is approaching, and it is a related hot topic, so there is a lot of attention..."

All right!

I even knew whether the TV station had a preview or not. I probably watched the TV all day long.
