"How could I possibly advertise? Director Weng, don't just guess. Am I that kind of person?
What's in the bag is truly what I've prepared for my fans!"
Upon hearing the explanation, Director Weng gave a look that clearly said, "Do you expect me to believe that?"
At the awards ceremony, Gao Fei's advertisement during the global live broadcast stunned everyone in the studio.
It was fortunate he was taking the film abroad and representing the country.
Otherwise, the trending topic after the awards ceremony would have been: "Gao Fei's Bad Taste, Advertising at a Film Festival."
Now that the film festival incident was past, the authorities at Jia University hadn't even intervened.
But today, he faced not only a nationwide interview program but also many leaders who were watching the interview.
Director Weng was deeply afraid that Gao Fei would suddenly pull a stunt like he did at the film festival and start advertising.
"Let me take a look anyway. Better safe than sorry!"
"Alright!"
Gao Fei let out a wry smile inwardly.
It seemed that the incident of advertising at the awards ceremony had thoroughly made old Weng wary!
He unzipped the black leather bag and pulled out two design sketches.
"Director Weng, the interview program has a live chat, right? These are custom gifts I've meticulously prepared for the fans."
On the white paper were design drafts for two necklaces.
Gu Lili and the others' original design products were related to cosmetics.
But seeing that Boss Gao hadn't launched the project for a long time, the studio had also drawn up designs for many other items.
These included necklaces, rings, and designs for the exterior of digital products...
Gao Fei happened to bring all the drawings with him today, and by luck, he avoided being questioned further.
Upon seeing that they were indeed custom-designed gifts, Director Weng asked no more questions, only imploring him not to advertise during the interview program.
"Director Weng, I definitely won't advertise. You can rest assured!"
"Good! The solo performance program is ending soon, prepare yourself!"
"Okay!"
As they were speaking, on the studio's screen, the second song had finished playing.
Next up was the third song, "Nocturne."
Seeing the title, there was no need to guess whose song it was; it was another song from the previous life, by Jay Chou.
In his previous life, there was a saying that went around:
"Nocturne" starts playing, and you're on stage to receive an award.
Gao Fei clearly remembered that when he was in elementary school, songs like "Nocturne" were played everywhere, in shops and barbershops.
Although he didn't understand what "stanning" was back then, to keep up with the girls, he had pestered his mother to buy him a cassette tape of "Chopin in November."
He had kept all these cassette tapes intact since childhood. If he had time-traveled now, he could probably sell them for a high price online.
Inside the studio, after "Nocturne" began playing, the assistant director excitedly called out to Weng Pinggui and Gao Fei, "Director Weng, Xiao Gao, our ratings have set a new record!"
"The online live stream has already surpassed 500,000 viewers, approaching the 600,000 mark, with over a million comments in the chat.
The television channel's ratings have broken the Ninth Channel's all-time record of 3.0%, reaching 3.2% now.
And the SMS hotline has received over twenty thousand messages."
Hearing the data reported by the assistant director, Weng Pinggui could no longer remain calm and immediately rushed to the computer to check the statistics.
Looking at the continuously climbing data, Director Weng clenched his fists, filled with excitement.
With the current ratings and the number of viewers in the live stream, as long as it could be maintained until the end,
He was sure to have a place next year during the Spring Festival, whether as a director or a planner.
Comrade Xiao Gao is truly my benefactor!
Now that he could connect with Gao Fei, a major draw, Weng Pinggui secretly resolved to maintain a good relationship with Comrade Xiao Gao.
Even if Gao Fei advertised on the program, he would be willing to accept any punishment.
On the interview stage.
After hearing the data read out by the assistant director, Gao Fei felt a little excited himself.
However, he was more curious about whether there were any companies in the audience involved in cosmetics.
After all, he was prepared to be criticized by the entire internet.
Online live stream.
[I'm speechless, Comrade Xiao Gao, you're amazing! Three songs of different styles, sung by him, have a unique charm. Each one can be considered a classic. It's simply leaving no room for popular songs on the market!]
[ "The Road to the Ordinary," "Seven Miles," and now "Nocturne"! I suspect Gao Fei is a walking song-producing machine, each song with a distinct style! Damn, this "Nocturne" can directly beat all the songs on the market.]
[Yo, are the fans starting to praise Gao Fei again? The anti-fans, hurry up and check for plagiarism. As soon as you find a song with the same rhythm as any of these three, we'll immediately nail Gao Fei for plagiarism.]
[Already checking for similar songs. Other friends, you check if the lyrics are the same. Gao Fei's three songs are too damn good, I don't believe he hasn't borrowed lyrics from other songs.]
The three songs, with their different styles and unbeatable feel, had already made the fans unable to refrain from praising Gao Fei.
The anti-fans, on the other hand, were searching for songs with similar styles and lyrics. As long as they could find one, they would immediately accuse him of plagiarism.
As for neutral netizens, they were just watching the show, with no one participating in the conflict between the two sides.
After "Nocturne" was sung, the next two songs were "Solace" and "Young and Promising."
"Solace" was a masterpiece from Teacher Mao's previous life.
"Young and Promising" was a work by Teacher Ronghao in his previous life and was once a popular song on short video platforms.
After listening to "Solace" and "Young and Promising."
Whether they were fans, anti-fans, or neutral netizens.
Everyone fell silent.
"Solace" expressed release from the past and a yearning for the future.
"Young and Promising" used a song to describe meeting the best person at the wrong age. But because you were too young, you lacked the ability to love that person, and ultimately missed out.
These two songs struck the hearts of every listener.
Even the vocal anti-fans were silenced by the two songs and stopped spewing nonsense in the chat.
At this moment, the chat was filled with crying emojis.
[Gao Fei is really something! These two songs express life, and the sorrow of unrequited love in youth. I can't take it, tears are already streaming down my face! o(╥﹏╥)o]
[It's not just these two songs, his five songs encompass the joys, sorrows, and pleasures of life! Why is Gao Fei so talented? Listening to him sing makes me feel like I'm on a roller coaster, laughing one moment, feeling released the next, then sad... o(╥﹏╥)o]
[Please, Comrade Xiao Gao, release the songs online soon! I'm willing to pay for a membership to support you and stop listening to pirated music. o(╥﹏╥)o]
At this moment, ten thousand comments per second flooded the live stream.
All of them were people moved by the songs!
After singing "Young and Promising," Gao Fei, in the recorded video, took a sip of water on stage and smiled at the camera, saying, "Next will be my last song for everyone.
Why don't you all try to guess who this last song will be sung for?"
The chat, which had been full of crying emojis, instantly changed.
[Ah, it's the last song already? No! Comrade Xiao Gao, keep singing, I still want to listen! No!]
[Since it's the last song, could it be a song about the motherland? No, there's already "Descendants of the Dragon," and the other five songs are about the various aspects of life. Gao Fei, don't keep us in suspense, announce it quickly.]
[Let me take a blind guess! Comrade Xiao Gao likes to create songs based on current events. It's May, are there any major events? The film festival just passed, and the college entrance examination is coming up soon. Oh my, Comrade Xiao Gao, are you perhaps going to sing a song about youth and the college entrance examination?]
As a long comment appeared, Gao Fei, in the recorded video, smiled and replied, "That's right, my last song is prepared for the students who are about to take the college entrance examination."
Upon hearing this reply, the chat instantly became a single sentence.
[The person above is a prophet, kill them!]
If the netizens knew that the Gao Fei talking and laughing with them at this moment was from a pre-recorded video, they would likely be furious and leave the live stream.
It could only be said that Director Weng's skill was high; he had perfectly timed every word.
After answering the question, Gao Fei continued in the video, "The last song is called 'Sky.' I hope that the students who are about to take the college entrance examination will achieve good results and strive to win the title of the top liberal arts student in our Longguo."
After the brief introduction, the prelude began.
"Sky" was inspired by the song "My Sky" from Gao Fei's previous life, sung by Nan Zheng Bei Zhan.
This song became popular because of a movie, which was also about the college entrance examination.
The most classic line from the TV series was, "If you can't compete with your family, why not compete with yourself?"
Students preparing for the college entrance examination can watch this movie, "Young Qin,"
And strive for good results in next year's college entrance examination.
The prelude ended, and the singing began.
"Goodbye my love, I wanna say goodbye
Goodbye my past, I want a new life
Goodbye my tears, stumbles, and failures
Goodbye that era of youthful arrogance
Goodbye my troubles, no longer alone
Goodbye my cowardice, no more crying
...
In the endless night, everything is about to be destroyed
At least I still have dreams, and I'm moved by you
The starting point of dawn is within my heart
As long as I have dreams, I will see the rainbow
In my sky!"
The entire song was filled with the passion and fire of youth.
Gao Fei's performance elevated the emotions of the staff in the studio, the netizens watching the live stream, and the audience in front of their televisions to their highest point.
The last song, representing the college entrance examination and youth, "Sky," once again stunned all the viewers.
Six songs with different styles, different genres, and different vocal techniques,
Had once again refreshed everyone's perception of Gao Fei's production capabilities.
Live stream chat.
[If I say now that Gao Fei is the number one person in Longguo's modern music scene, do you have any objections? Even if you do, I won't accept any refutations!]
[I admit your statement, absolutely the number one person! It's just that these six songs have completely achieved godhood!]
[Little haters, I am the general manager of Changyou Music. I can now definitively tell you that Gao Fei's six songs have not plagiarized any songs. Even if you don't admit Gao Fei's talent, he has already firmly established himself at the pinnacle of the modern pop music scene.]
In the chat, besides fans, there were general managers and big shots from various music platforms, all expressing their support for Gao Fei.
As for the anti-fans, faced with six god-tier songs, they still had no reason to refute.
They could only mouth off in the chat with forced negativity.
