Chapter 7 Bring Your Own Traffic
Uncle Zhang saw Feng Shiyao again, and then he keenly discovered that some changes had occurred in Feng Shiyao, which was a little different from before leaving.
When he met last time, he could see some worries hidden behind the calmness of Feng Shiyao. He guessed that Feng Shiyao should be really having something trouble, so he did not forcefully stop Feng Shiyao at that time.
But this time I saw that I had less worries. Feng Shiyao's mood obviously improved.
Although he didn't know what was going on, when he saw this scene, he wanted to find out that Feng Shiyao's trouble was solved.
So he deliberately looked straight: "Have you handled your business?"
He thought Feng Shiyao would say "yes", but he didn't expect Feng Shiyao to shake his head and said, "Not yet, Uncle Zhang."
"What? You disappeared for a week but haven't handled it yet?"
"Well, things are a bit complicated, and a week is not enough. But I thought that the work could not be delayed indefinitely, so I came back..."
"You still know there is a job..."
"But I may leave often next time, Uncle Zhang..." Feng Shiyao saw that the agent's face changed, and hurriedly added, "Of course I am spared from work, and I promise not to delay my work. But Uncle Zhang, don't answer those announcements of entertainment programs for the time being, right?"
"What?"
For entertainment celebrities, announcements for various entertainment programs are where they rely on for survival, because only by posting more announcements can there be more exposure, more public appearances, and more topics to discuss.
Nowadays, domestic TV stations have held a large number of music variety shows, and many previously unknown artists are very popular because they participated in this kind of show. Some people are already outdated, but because they have appeared in such variety shows, they have returned to the public eye, held concerts everywhere, commercial performance contracts one after another, and various advertising endorsements have followed one after another, rejuvenating the second spring of their careers.
Originally, his agency team had already begun to plan to let Feng Shiyao participate in some such variety shows to boost popularity. As a result, Feng Shiyao said he would not participate?
How can this work?
"On the one hand, I'm afraid I'll be very busy in the future, and on the other hand, I want to calm down and concentrate on creating. Uncle Zhang, I am a singer, and my works are songs, not myself. I don't need to show my face on those variety shows, I just need to let everyone listen to my songs."
Seeing Feng Shiyao's serious expression, Uncle Zhang sighed: "In the past, a singer focused on writing songs, publishing albums, and holding concerts. But now it is not that era, poetry and romance."
"I know, maybe I can't keep up with the times. But I think this is great. The foundation of a singer should be his works. Without good works, no matter how popular Weibo is, it's useless. I don't want to be a traffic singer. I entered this industry because I hope more people will hear my songs, not to be a star."
"Okay..." Uncle Zhang knew that this was what Feng Shiyao said in her heart, and she was very satisfied with the status quo.
And he thought about it. After the storm that suddenly broke the appointment before, Feng Shiyao should be more low-key and not show up too much.
"In addition, Uncle Zhang, I plan to re-produce the third album, and many songs need to be adjusted. I have new songs to be released."
Uncle Zhang no longer knew how many times this was the time he was shocked by Feng Shiyao's words. He only knew about the second album. In fact, Feng Shiyao and him had been preparing for a long time and were almost mature.
But now Feng Shiyao says he wants to overthrow and start over... What does this mean? It means that in the whole year of 2016, Feng Shiyao will not release a new album.
For a singer who has just debuted for a few years, the window period is really too long...
"Are you sure?" he asked back.
Feng Shiyao nodded: "I have a better idea, and I want to make a new album that is different from before."
Uncle Zhang stared at Feng Shiyao. He really couldn't figure out what Feng Shiyao had experienced and why he would have such a big change after he came back.
But he finally agreed to Feng Shiyao's request because he knew that Feng Shiyao was a genius in music, and if she said she had a better idea, it would be better.
"Well, I look forward to you getting better ideas."
Feng Shiyao smiled: "Thank you, Uncle Zhang."
After saying goodbye to Feng Shiyao, Uncle Zhang touched his head.
He was actually really curious. What would this new album look like if Feng Shiyao suddenly interrupted her original album?
※※※
After Feng Shiyao came back, she accepted a wave of media interviews in an intensive manner, appeared in front of the public, answered all previous rumors, and apologized for her breaking the appointment.
At the same time, the incident of her sudden cancellation of her original new album has also caused a lot of speculation.
The official statement is of course that Feng Shiyao is not very satisfied with the original album. During this break, after a painful decision, he finally decided to waste all the previous preparations than to start over and produce a more sophisticated album.
In addition, the team also bought some soft media articles, praising Feng Shiyao for her excellence and never pushing works that cannot satisfy her to the market. This shows that Feng Shiyao is a rare clear stream in this impetuous society today.
This is the official statement, and of course it is impossible for them to believe them all.
Some people swear to spread the news online that Feng Shiyao suddenly canceled the production of her new album, not for the sake of excellence, but because she has fierce conflicts with the current record company.
How intense is it?
Why did you suddenly break an appointment for interviews and variety shows before?
This is actually the result of Feng Shiyao's struggle with the company.
So any physical discomfort and any pursuit of excellence are all lies. The real reason is the conflict with the record company.
To put it bluntly, it’s all in one word - money!
Feng Shiyao was dissatisfied with the label's constraints on him. Now that he is famous and has hard wings, he wants to go solo.
But how could a record company let go of a music superstar they finally cultivated?
So both sides got up.
It is said that both sides are still preparing to sue... but they are still covering up now and there is no report.
But since Feng Shiyao dares to play the sudden disappearance and directly give up the new album, it means that the conflict between the two sides is actually irreconcilable.
This fight has just begun.
"Insiders" and "well-informed people" on the Internet said explosive news in various realistic tones, which mobilized the interests of the melon-eating crowd.
For a moment, the Internet was in full swing again.
Uncle Zhang was really amused and crying when he saw this scene.
He was worried that Feng Shiyao would launch all variety shows and cancel the production of new albums, which would cause her to have a window, and her popularity would drop, and gradually disappear from the public's vision.
But now it seems that this girl seems to be born with topics... No matter what she does, it always causes controversy and attention.
