When the two walked into the venue, singer Pan Jun, who was sitting next to them, was stunned, and then a wave of joy surged in his heart.
To be honest, today's singers are more eager to meet Feng Xiaoyun than Yan Zi.
Among those who are in this circle, except for a few who are recognized as the top ones, no one really thinks that their singing skills are worse than others.
So why do some people become famous while others remain unknown for a long time? In their opinion, it’s all because of their works.
A singer always has to speak through his works.
There are often charts made by UP hosts on music apps, called "One Person, One Famous Song". Those singers who can't even make it to this chart, to put it bluntly, don't even have a famous song that people can remember. How can they become popular?
A composer like Feng Xiaoyun, who can write ten hit songs in one album, is a hot commodity in the eyes of all singers. If you can get a good song from him, it is much more cost-effective than making friends with the CEO of Jiangdu Entertainment.
After all, Jiangdu Entertainment has not yet reached the point where it can control the entire entertainment industry or the music market.
Pan Jun greeted the two of them, but then he hesitated and didn't know what to say.
He is also considered a veteran singer, and his folk music style is a bit niche. In addition, he has not had any famous songs in all these years, so he has always been tepid.
Even today he came to this awards ceremony not because of his good songs, but because he looks pretty good. This time, the music video of one of his songs was shot very well and was nominated for the Best Music Video award.
Being an introvert, he wanted to build a relationship with Feng Xiaoyun. It would be even better if he could invite her to sing a song. However, Pan Jun had no experience in this area and he hesitated for a long time without saying a word.
"Teacher Pan is from Shudu, right?" Feng Xiaoyun spoke first. To be in this industry, one must know the more famous people in the industry. He probably has some impression of Pan Jun.
"Ah, I'm not worthy of the title of Teacher Pan, but I am indeed from Shudu!" Pan Jun didn't expect Feng Xiaoyun to take the initiative to talk to him, so he quickly nodded in response.
"Then we are from the same hometown. I am also from Shudu."
"Really? That's such a coincidence." Pan Jun really didn't know. Although Feng Xiaoyun is very popular in the songwriting world now, he is really too mysterious. Apart from knowing that he is Yan Zi's assistant and studied at the Wiener Staatskapelle Kunstakademie in Austria, there is not much information about him.
Even many employees in Jiangdu Entertainment don’t know much about him.
It is said that when fellow villagers meet, their eyes are filled with tears. Although Feng Xiaoyun and Pan Jun have not reached that point yet, Feng Xiaoyun took the initiative to talk about some things in Shudu, and Pan Jun was able to join in, and they were having a very pleasant conversation for a while.
"Alas, singing folk songs in bars isn't very popular anymore. Many young people prefer the more lively atmosphere, and there are fewer and fewer quiet bars that can sing folk songs."
Talking about his experience singing in a bar in Shudu, Pan Jun sighed: "Actually, I was pretty good. I had a little bit of fame and could even be the lead singer in a small bar. Many other folk singers even had to work part-time as bartenders to make a living."
"The pub where I sing has many old listeners, and they all know that I'm still there because of my feelings. Then one day, an old listener had a few too many to drink, patted me on the shoulder and said to me: 'Brother, I toast to your feelings. Here's a 500 yuan tip. I just want to hear 'Happy Shua Shua', please come on!"
Speaking of this, Pan Jun was full of frustration: "The main reason is that there are too few classic folk songs, and even those folk classics don't sell well. Many people write ten folk songs, but they can't sell as well as one pop song. The number of people writing folk songs is decreasing."
A few years ago, at least campus folk songs still existed. Although they were not very popular and were limited by the campus style, they were at least developing slowly.
Folk music at this time was more like a kind of popular culture, a special musical form that emerged with social changes and had the characteristics of a certain marginal niche music.
However, in recent years, with the advent of the Internet age, even school children prefer traffic stars, and boy and girl groups singing and dancing rap are more popular than folk songs that sound bland, resulting in folk songs losing their market.
Feng Xiaoyun had long heard Brother Cao say that people who sing folk songs are poor people who love to dream. Although this may not be entirely true, it still makes some sense.
Lyrical lyrics, simple melody, easy to hum, just grab a guitar and take a green train to the Tibetan capital.
In the Lido bar, there are girls from wealthy families who take a few thousand yuan and go on a cheap ride, hoping to travel all over the beautiful land of the motherland with their emotions, and finally give their bodies to "kind-hearted people" to pay for it...
This is folk music, the truth, the cruel truth. Smoking Zhongnanhai, carrying emotions on a sword to travel the world, but the sword is blind, and it almost kills me.
But this is all determined by the market. Even Feng Xiaoyun finds it difficult to change this situation. After all, there will be more creators of the type that people prefer.
Feng Xiaoyun also listened to some current folk songs. The songs sounded good, but they lacked some connotation and characteristics, giving people a feeling of forced sorrow. They sounded good at first, but became a bit boring after listening to them twice.
Even veteran folk singers like Pan Jun will try their best to make their MVs better-looking in order to increase sales.
However, after chatting with Pan Jun for a while, he felt that he was a very thoughtful and persistent folk singer. We seemed to be on the same page, so he asked, "I have a folk song about Shudu. I wonder if Brother Pan would be willing to collaborate on it?"
"Of course!" Pan Jun didn't know what the song was like, so he agreed without thinking. After saying that, he felt that he was a little too eager, but if he wasn't anxious at this time, he might have missed it.
Not to mention anything else, I wonder how many people in this venue are waiting for such an opportunity.
So, shamelessly and somewhat embarrassedly asked, "I wonder when Teacher Feng will be free? We can talk about the signing first."
"The Chinese New Year is just a few days away. Let's wait until after the New Year. Brother Pan can just come to Jiangdu Entertainment to find me. Even if I'm not there, someone will handle it." Feng Xiaoyun had just told Pan Jun not to call him teacher. He felt that he was not worthy of this title at his age, but Pan Jun was stubborn and refused to change his words, so he had no choice but to go along with him.
By this time, the venue was almost full, and there were several singers nearby who were cramming their ears to listen to the two people's conversation, all of them envious. However, since they had no close relationship, if they went up rashly, they might cause Feng Xiaoyun's disgust and it would be counterproductive, so no one disturbed them.
Tange and Maomao have also walked onto the stage in the center of the venue, and the 2019 China Music Golden Disc Awards Ceremony has officially begun.
