Dragon, choose cultural victory to make money

Chapter 211 This performance is a bit too urban

In the studio of the Feilin Good Song Project on Shudian Island, the sound of passionate quarrels came from the conference room where the mentors were.

"Do you have any aesthetic sense? You have been in the opera troupe for nothing for so many years, right? Did the instructor who let you graduate have some hearing problems that made him let someone like you out?"

“I think this song is really good.”

"Not bad, this is not bad? Formulaic arrangement, a few melodies repeated throughout, and that demo, the loud and white voice singing has no beauty at all, and the lyrics are also vulgar."

"Although it is indeed simple, this type of song should be very popular with most audiences. After all, this show is still aimed at..."

"Then most of the audience are mediocre people with no aesthetic sense, just like your wooden ears, and they don't deserve to eat good food."

Are they quarreling? Quarreling is good. Drogo loves to watch people quarreling.

Especially when the elderly quarrel, it is full of drama. Young people cannot have that kind of feeling when they quarrel. Young people usually do not have the momentum of not caring about anything and not caring what others think.

Simply put, it is the momentum of madness.

But the uncles and aunts are completely different.

Oh, it’s so interesting to see the quarrel between grandpa and mother.

His words are full of rhythm and without any repetitive offensive words. It is a true street gangster freestyle, and it is absolutely real.

Sometimes it is accompanied by a slightly crazy, high-frequency, almost convulsive "war dance" to put psychological pressure on the opponent.

The enthusiasm of this kind of activity will increase as the number of onlookers increases, as if all the onlookers are setting the stage for them to "perform" more vigorously.

At this critical moment when the argument became intense.

Drogo, of course we have to increase the intensity.

He pushed open the door and entered.

There were three people and an elf in the room, and the ones arguing were probably the vice-president and the troupe leader.

The two men, who looked to be in their sixties or seventies, were now arguing with each other, their ears red and spitting everywhere.

"We should just discuss the matter at hand. There is no need for personal attacks."

"You call this a personal attack? I'm just stating the facts. You're so fragile inside that you can't accept this?"

Djordje and Gerda noticed Drogo coming in and stood up and saluted.

Xiao De looked very embarrassed and didn't know how to deal with the situation.

Gerda was quite calm. She leaned back in her chair, sipping her drink slowly and watching the two people quarreling with interest.

She had seen this kind of scene many times. Whenever the nobles in the North had any disputes, they would quarrel like this and they didn't even dare to fight.

It may be because resources are scarce in the North, and the nobility has not yet evolved to the version of wealthy regions with numerous rules and regulations, creeds, oaths, honor, and noble words and deeds.

The two people who were the focus of attention continued.

"Could it be that the person who wrote this song is someone like you? Oh, he must have received some bribes, right? Maybe he even gave this female singer some in-depth one-on-one guidance."

The tone of his pronunciation was like a hermaphrodite, as if he was afraid that others wouldn't know there was another layer of irony in his words.

The vice-president continued, "It's not like you haven't done this to female students before."

The troupe leader rubbed his forehead helplessly, calmed his breathing, and then said, "I know you have resentment towards me because of Tracy."

"Don't mention her!"

"Oh!" Drogo looked like he had just eaten something big.

The two old men are still entangled in the emotional problems they had when they were young, like love in the time of cholera.

Drogo asked Ser Godot beside him quietly, "Is the relationship between the two of them what I imagined?"

"Well," Gordo didn't know exactly what Drogo was thinking, but he still answered, "That's about right."

"You want to find two people who have a grudge against you to be your mentors together?"

"You wrote in your suggestion that we should try to increase the conflicts in the show, whether it's conflicts between contestants or mentors. Conflicts between mentors are even better, as audiences are most happy to watch this."

"I mean, you use scripts to arrange conflicts?"

"Yes, but those well-known people in the music industry are not willing to accept such a script. They think it is not good for their image, so..."

"So you really found two people who have a grudge against each other, without using a script, and let them clash on their own?"

"That's the idea. Now it seems like we might have gone too far. We're fighting before the show even starts."

Sir Godot felt that he had indeed made a mistake in this move.

"Ahem," Drogo coughed twice. This is how big guys deal with conflicts. "How about you two stop for a moment. I want to listen to the piece."

The two old men, who were in high spirits, looked towards Drogo and discovered the dragon who actually paid for the event.

"Huh," the vice president took a deep breath and said, "If you want this program to represent the highest level of Feilin's music, you must trust my professional level. I have worked at the music college for many years, and there are few people in the world who have such great musical knowledge..."

Zhuo Ge waved his paw to signal the vice president not to brag, "Just put the sample away."

To register for the Feilin Good Song audition, one must at least provide the lyrics and music score, materials provided by the copyright department that can prove that one is one of the original authors, and a demo.

Because the requirements are relatively complex, there were not many submissions during the initial period when we first started accepting works.

However, according to information from the copyright department, there are a lot more people who want to register original music recently, and we should be able to receive a large number of submissions soon.

After all, the reward conditions offered by Drogo for this show are quite attractive.

Since people nowadays don’t quite understand the monetization ability after becoming famous, some tangible rewards must be given.

Drogo chose the simplest and most brutal option.

Give money.

With such a huge reward, there will definitely be people who want to give it a try.

Starting from the auditions, you will receive gold coins as rewards every time you advance to the next round, which is quite valuable.

Of course, the money cannot be given for free. When signing the consent form to participate in the program, the right to use the songs is also authorized to the Zhuoge Group.

The authorization period is not long.

About a hundred years.

Gerda opened the controversial work, and to Drogo's surprise, this sample was not just a recording, but a video.

In the picture, four young and beautiful female students stand in a row, posing in exaggerated poses.

If Drogo saw correctly, the clothes they wore should have been modified from Repin's standard wizard robes, which were much shorter, revealing their straight long legs.

The top was tightened quite a bit, and it obviously covered everything it should, but it was tight enough to show off the undulating curves.

It even gave Drogo a sense of déjà vu when he watched dance, yoga, and fashion videos in the past.

Is this the unique uniform temptation of Feilin?
What Drogo didn't expect was that these girls could sing and dance.

The lyrics made Long laugh.

"I found a boyfriend."

"But he doesn't like me."

"So I dumped him!"

"I am beautiful alone."

"The people chasing me line up from the Two Towers to Winterfell."

"I am the queen, I am the queen, I am the most beautiful queen..."

I can understand why the vice president doesn't like it. It does have a bit of a cultural low. The arrangement is also very simple. The punk sung by Underground Abandoned Sons is technically advanced compared to this.

The singing is not that good.

The phrase for high emotional intelligence is stability.

In fact, the high notes can't go up, the low notes can't go down, there's no distortion but it's on the verge of distortion.

If you have to find advantages.

The singing is very beautiful.

The vice president looked very proud, as if saying, look, I told you we shouldn't have this thing.

"Tell me what you think." Drogo asked Druid.

"Well, I think that although their technical level is not up to par, they are quite creative and can be performed on the show. But I suggest that they be used as a warm-up performance. We have warm-up performances, so they are more suitable."

Xiao De stammered, feeling a little embarrassed to watch the picture that was being played on a loop.

As the leading elf of Felin Rock, Xiao De is actually a teenage elf, and a good baby at that, which is in stark contrast to the style of the music he sings.

"And you?" Drogo asked Gerda again.

“It may not be a good song, but it’s a good performance. Maybe it will have a group of loyal fans.”

"Then let's do it this way. Use it as the opening act to see how the audience reacts. The clothes need to be adjusted. Now this is like dancing to the Repin Academy's look."

Drogo concluded.

He really wanted to see whether this kind of idol group could be successful here. If so, the artist production assembly line could be started.

"I don't agree. This kind of thing appearing on the stage is a blasphemy to art!" The vice president retorted, slamming the table.

Drogo glanced at him with disdain, feeling a little annoyed, as if he hadn't found his place.

“Is there a possibility that their purpose is not to engage in art?”

"Even if the song is okay, what about their dancing? Can that be considered dancing? It's just, it's just!"

Out of shame, the vice president did not say anything more inappropriate to his status.

"What? It's nothing out of the ordinary. It's one of the functions of dance."

According to current researchers' speculation, there are only three types of dance origins. The first type is performed for gods during sacrifices.

If he could meet the goddess of magic again, Drogo would like to ask her whether she likes watching this kind of performance, and whether all those various sacrifices are useful.

The second type is to boost morale before a battle and scare the enemy at the same time.

The third is courtship.

Moreover, most of the new dances that have emerged in the past few hundred years have developed from the third type.

Drogo actually watched these art forms develop.

For example, a very popular dance style now involves wearing long skirts and performing various complex high-leg movements.

The earliest version also had a long skirt and high legs, but no underwear...

The stage will be much higher than the audience seats, and the nearest row of audience seats will be right below the stage.

From the perspective of watching dance, this position is inappropriate, but obviously most of the audience are not there to watch dance.

Later, this dance style became more and more popular, and finally it was successfully whitewashed and began to talk about elegance and nobility.

Compared to this, the girl group in front of us is still a lot "healthier".

The vice president obviously knew all this history, and was speechless when asked by Drogo.

After a long pause, he finally answered: "That's different. Now that period has passed, we should pursue a more elegant way of development. This is too vulgar."

"Don't always talk about elegance. You can't eat it."

"If that's the case, I would rather quit the show!" the vice president said angrily.

However, unlike what he imagined, Drogo did not try to keep him.

"I am the vice president of the music school. I can represent the professionalism of music and raise the level of this program."

He began to make amends on his own.

At the beginning, he just wanted to fight for the right to speak. He should be the one with the most influence among the mentors, so he attacked the song.

Mainly because I got used to doing this kind of thing when I was in college.

"If you must choose this song, it's not impossible, but you can adjust the performance format or add a little more technical content to the arrangement."

Still Drogo said nothing.

The vice president was a little anxious, mainly because he was worried about the possible loss of the notice fee.

"Never mind. I agree..."

"No need, Godot, just pay him the money for the past few days and find a new mentor." Drogo finally said.

"Okay." Godot didn't say much. The technology and the bulk of the funds belonged to Drogo, so whatever Drogo said was the final word.

"No, haven't I already agreed? I can allow this song to appear on the show, but I personally won't choose them." The vice-president was still struggling.

Drogo said calmly: "This is not your show. What's the point of your permission?"

In fact, he doesn't think much of this singing and dancing show. At most, it is just an extra in the entire variety show.

However, he really doesn't think highly of people like the vice-dean. First of all, his philosophy is seriously different from that of the other three mentors.

Secondly, I felt like I had been locked up in the academy for too long and was somewhat out of touch with the outside world. I didn’t understand what the content on the magic video machine should be like.

This will cause a lot of trouble for future recordings.

So the reason for firing him was not because of anger, but to ensure the efficiency of future work and reduce possible problems.

"I wish you a happy life in the future. We can still cooperate if there is a more suitable opportunity." Drogo said politely.

"Humph, I'm afraid there won't be any chance in the future."

Seeing that there was no hope of recovery, the vice president stopped trying to make amends and walked out the door without looking back, throwing up his sleeves.

"Oh my god, I feel much more relaxed." Xiao De said happily when he saw him leave.

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone started laughing.

There are always some people who have an amazing talent for making everyone they interact with unhappy without even realizing it.

It is civilized society that saves such people, so that they will not be beaten up by others just because they are unhappy.

It is not easy to attract the hatred of many people at the same time. Even the warrior's taunt skills are not so effective.

"To be honest, I kind of like this song after listening to it many times. At least it's catchy," Gerda said. "It feels like the simple melody keeps playing in my ears automatically, just like..."

"Brainwashing," Drogo said.

In the era when the Internet was already in its infancy, the best songs were those that could brainwash people.

It’s not that the artistic achievement is so great, but from the perspective of revenue, it’s extremely good.

Of course, after a song becomes popular for a while, everyone will start to hate it.

"But I have a question," Sir Godot asked, "Who should fill the vacant tutor seat now? I have a few alternatives here."

"I have a good candidate here, too," Drogo said. "Well, it's not a candidate, exactly."
