The richest man starts with a blind box

Chapter 782
The song that Michael Jackson sang live appeared on Weibo 20 minutes later, and it was first released by a reporter. It was matched with a video of Michael Jackson humming to the phone !
Then naturally, the whole Weibo exploded again, and everyone exclaimed, "My God, it is indeed a song composed by the great Michael Jackson. It is so beautiful. After listening to it, my ears are almost pregnant."

"Don't get pregnant. After I heard this, the child in my stomach can't wait to appear in this world, and let this world have one more great Jackson fan!"

There are endless comments like this on the Internet. The famous demo "I Caught a Cold in That Corner" composed by Feng Xiyu, followed by Michael Jackson's voice, came to this world one step ahead of schedule.

demo, which translates to sample, first appeared in the record industry.

In the early days, it was very troublesome to record a piece of high-quality music that required various soundtracks. Sometimes it even required a symphony orchestra to come over for the soundtrack, so the cost of recording was very high.

Therefore, before the official recording, it is necessary to make sure that the final version remains unchanged as much as possible, so many musicians will simply record some a cappella songs, or there is no sound at all, only humming to represent the tune The songs will be reviewed by the producers, and they will be recorded after the final unanimous approval.

So the song Michael Jackson hummed is a standard demo, and the tune that the director hummed while drinking tea is also a standard damo.

Generally speaking, for most of the songs in the world, there are demos first, and then there are complete songs.The demo will also be shelved after the song is recorded, or it will be destroyed directly. I have never heard of the demo of the song being more famous than the song itself.

Feng Xiyu's "I Had a Cold in That Corner" is an absolute exception.

This is a rare case in the world where the demo is many times more popular than the song, and the culprit is the future BBK music phone, which is the predecessor of the two mobile phone brands OPPO and vivo.

The backgammon music mobile phone commercial starring Song Hye Kyo is known to everyone in China. Boss Huang dared to bluntly say that at least 95% of the people in China have heard of this commercial. , I still have a fresh memory of the beautiful tune that I hummed softly.

At the same time, it was estimated that 95% of the people thought that the one who sang this song was none other than Song Hye Kyo himself.But the fact is just the opposite, this song has nothing to do with Song Hye Kyo, it is the original demo sung by Feng Xiyu herself.

It was impossible for BBK to do such an outrageous thing. According to their original plan, they invited Song Hye Kyo to be the spokesperson of BBK Music Phone, and then sang a theme song for the phone by the way. This was a very reasonable request.

But at that time, Song Hye Kyo became popular in China because of the house full of romance, and the price was not generally high, not to mention the expensive fee to be the spokesperson.If you need to record a theme song, you need to pay an additional fee of several million yuan.

Backgammon was very hesitant at the time, wondering whether it should spend the extra few million yuan, but at that time, Chen Yongming, a senior executive of Backgammon, made a suggestion.

That is, instead of spending huge sums of money to let a Korean sing a Korean theme song, as the theme song of the Chinese national brand Backgammon mobile phone, isn’t it a little inappropriate, and at the same time, will it ruin the popularity of the brand?

So it's better to save the money and find a cheaper one.

However, Song Hye Kyo, the spokesperson who spent a lot of money to sign, can't be wasted, so the best way is not to make a theme song with lyrics, but to make a piece of music that is close to Song Hye Kyo's voice and hummed lightly. up.

As long as this piece of music is placed in the background sound, the audience will subconsciously think that this piece of music should be hummed by Song Hye Kyo himself, and they will never think that this piece of music hummed by someone else.

After all, it's just humming, there is no difficulty at all, and there is no need to lip-sync!
In this way, Song Hye Kyo, the spokesperson, can be squeezed perfectly, and at the same time, it can win the popularity of domestic brands!
This plan was unanimously praised and implemented immediately, so they contacted the best advertising music company in China, and this music company was Feng Xiyu's parent company at that time.

The parent company was very surprised when they heard that, there is such a strange request in the world?

But this rule is also simple, isn't it just a demo of music?
So they selected hundreds of demos, and BBK company directly chose Feng Xiyu's demo, so this demo became the theme song of BBK music mobile phone, and it also created another legend that Feng Xiyu's songs were not popular!
In an interview later, she jokingly said that even a demo she hummed casually was hundreds of times more popular than herself.

How to put it, if you are interested, you can search for the character Feng Xiyu, and then you will find that Feng Xiyu is simply a hit maker. There are at least a dozen songs in China that are familiar to 90% of Chinese people. It came from Feng Xiyu's hands, and it was her original song.

Such as "My Pride" and "Girl Waving Wings", but I also guarantee that you have never heard of the name Feng Xiyu!
Closer to home, the quality and appeal of this song "I Caught a Cold in That Corner" is beyond doubt, otherwise it would not have been popular across the country in my previous life.

After all, there are so many commercial songs, how many songs are really remembered by the people?

Not to mention that this time the singer is no longer the little-known Feng Xiyu, but the real world superstar Michael Jackson, and he improvised in such a gimmicky venue under the lens of the media all over the world. Yes!

So in less than two hours after the video was released, it became completely popular again. At first, all Michael Jackson fans rushed to listen to this humming song, and then immersed themselves in intoxication.

Immediately afterwards, people all over the world were almost intoxicated by this song.

And because of Michael Jackson's huge influence, this time it didn't cost any money, and the world's media reported it. Naturally, this song spread to the world along with the news.

Naturally, as the carrier for the birth of this song, the VIVO music mobile phone naturally made a lot of money. The 1 million mobile phones launched in the first phase were sold out within half a month. up.

After all, what Michael Jackson wouldn't want to have the same phone as his idol?

Besides, listening to music on this phone is really great.

And soon, the vast number of music lovers all over the world discovered a new way to play, that is to add music and lyrics to this music, and then sing it out at the end.

Because Michael Jackson created a demo with no lyrics, not even a complete score, but only a melody, it almost immediately inspired the inspiration of all music creators who heard this melody.

On the night when the music was released, some people had already posted their own full version of the song on the Internet.

Although the quality is very bad, it does not prevent a large number of Michael Jackson fans from watching. After all, everyone wants to hear what the finished song looks like.

As a result, all of a sudden, the demons danced wildly, and in just half a month, there were more than 600 works created by various musicians, which can be described as an astonishing output.

Many of these masterpieces even Michael Jackson himself couldn't help but like them.

At this time, a new problem immediately arises, which is the copyright issue of this demo. After all, it was created by Michael Jackson under the camera, and the copyright undoubtedly belongs to Michael Jackson.

And now those people take the melody that Michael Jackson wrote and write their own songs.

It’s fine if it’s not published on the Internet, but if it is published on the Internet and you get a profit from it, then you have violated the copyright law properly, and Michael Jackson can sue them for infringement and compensation.

So, soon a reporter went to interview Michael Jackson and asked him if he would sue those who infringed his copyright, but Michael Jackson replied, "This was born after I used the Vivo music phone." Inspiration, if I have to say who the copyright of this melody belongs to, then I am more inclined to think that it is the copyright of this music phone!"

"So I think the copyright of this song does not belong to me, and I am willing to give it to everyone in the world. I solemnly promise here that anyone can use my melody to create songs and get reasonable creations Proceeds, I hope this will serve as a gift to all music lovers around the world!"

Michael Jackson's words immediately aroused global praise, and the song became even more popular in an instant, and even many brands successively used this melody to create their own theme songs, just catching up with Michael Jackson's popularity, no What a joy!
What I didn't expect was that a few days later, the Vivo music phone officially announced that they appreciated Mr. Michael Jackson's great spirit and humanistic care concept, as well as his selfless attitude.

So they sincerely invited Michael Jackson to be the global brand spokesperson for the vivo music phone, and soon, Michael Jackson accepted the invitation.

All of a sudden, the world was in turmoil. You know, this is the first company in the world that has the guts to invite him to be a spokesperson after the Michael Jackson scandal was exposed. This is another extraordinary news!
The whole world is arguing about this time.
