Han Xue, who had never experienced selling goods in a supermarket, had already plucked up the courage to pick up the microphone, but now she was stopped by the supermarket manager. She was embarrassed and aggrieved for a while.
I'm just here to promote my new album. I came here to sell shoes out of nowhere, and I was forcibly stopped. It's so difficult...
But then Han Xue thought of the conversation she had with Han Sen during the Spring Festival. At that time, Han Sen warned Han Xue of many rules of conduct in the entertainment industry, one of which was to have a strong mentality.
To put it more simply, it means being thick-skinned and having to withstand public criticism.
Otherwise, there is really no way to survive in this industry.
At first, Han Xue didn't take it seriously. She thought that celebrities were aloof and sought after wherever they went. Even if they were criticized, it was normal, so she was mentally prepared early on.
But now it seems that this trip has a long way to go.
The supermarket manager looked at Han Xue, whose eyes were red, and was stunned for a moment. He knew that the other person was a singer, because he was the one who contacted the program team in the supermarket, but he really didn't know the singer, and Han Xue's name was even more familiar to him.
I had never heard of him, so I thought he was just a low-profile artist, but when I saw Han Xue's handsome appearance, even the supermarket manager felt a little surprised. As expected, not many celebrities in the entertainment industry are ugly.
He looked at the nearby cameras and saw that the staff of the program team had no intention of coming to negotiate, so he thought about it, went back to the front desk, took out a guitar, and handed it to Han Xue: "Although you can't call me Mai,
But aren’t you a singer? To use your talents, why not sing? This way you can also attract traffic.”
In the past, supermarkets often held similar activities, inviting some student singers and dancers from nearby university towns to come and hold promotional activities. During the period, they either sang or danced, which was very popular with young people. After all, a supermarket opened in a university town.
Naturally, it is still dominated by young people.
After hearing the supermarket manager's suggestion, Han Xue quickly calmed down her emotions. After thanking her, she held the guitar in her hand and looked at the director's assistant: "Can I play and sing?"
"sure!"
The director's assistant smiled and said: "But be careful, the premise is that your identity cannot be exposed, otherwise the results will be invalid."
Han Xue felt helpless after hearing this, and asked the supermarket manager to borrow sunglasses and put on a baseball cap. This way, even if her singing voice was amazing, people would not easily recognize her.
In fact, Han Xue's new song "Grandma Bridge" has just been released a week ago. Although it is very popular, it is limited to the song. Most Chinese people still cannot recognize Han Xue's appearance.
Soon, after preparations, as noon came and the supermarket became more and more crowded, Han Xue put on her guitar, quickly tuned it, and began to sing silently in front of the crowds of people coming and going.
"Grandma's Bridge" must not be sung. The other songs in the album have not yet been released on the market. Singing them now will most likely affect sales and the sense of mystery will be greatly weakened.
The only new song that can be sung is probably "Later", because as soon as midnight this morning, this song will be officially uploaded to the Hanhai Music Platform.
But a song is less than five minutes long. After singing "Later", what should be sung next?
this is a problem.
Therefore, after much thought, Han Xue decided to take advantage of her brother and sing his songs. After attracting more and more people, she would then sing "Later", maybe it would create some chemical reactions.
As for copyright issues.
Brother, he has a lot, so he shouldn’t charge royalties from himself, right?
As soon as she thought of this, Han Xue became energetic for a while, strummed the strings casually, and when the music sounded, the people passing by suddenly stopped in their tracks as if they had pressed the pause button.
Even the staff of the program team suddenly raised their heads and looked at Han Xue in surprise.
The next moment, when Han Xue's singing sounded, everyone nearby felt goosebumps on their arms.
"The drizzle and wind soaked the streets at dusk
Wiping off the rain, my eyes looked up for no reason
Looking at the lonely evening light
It’s that sad memory…”
After the director's assistant heard the song "I Like You", his whole head seemed to explode. He was buzzing. After a while, he slapped his thigh and burst into tears of excitement: Yes! That's right. !Why didn’t you think of it in advance?
Han Xue is Han Sen's sister.
When others sing Han Sen's songs on the show, they can easily get royalties ranging from 500,000 to 1 million.
But if Han Xue comes to sing, isn’t it just a free prostitution?
This drainage effect is simply not too strong!
"Okay! It sounds great!"
The director's assistant was so excited that he was salivating. In fact, the main reason was that he found that Han Xue's singing of Han Sen's songs had a unique flavor. Especially the song "Like You", sung with a female voice, was so moving!
"Countless thoughts in my heart once again arise
The laughter from the past moments is still on my face
I hope you will know at this moment
This is what I say from the bottom of my heart——"
The supermarket manager had already walked far away. When he heard this, he stiffened and turned around, with disbelief and surprise on his face.
Han Sen's influence in various universities across the country ranks second, and no one dares to rank first. Even among young people around the world, Han Sen has undisputed popularity.
His songs are secretly played in major stores, but only occasionally. After all, these songs require copyright fees, especially some famous brand stores, which are the focus of supervision by the Copyright Office.
Previously, famous brand clothing stores and other stores were heavily fined due to music copyright issues.
Nowadays, someone actually sang Han Sen's songs publicly in a store, and it was also the program crew of Shonan Satellite TV.
The supermarket manager's jaw almost dropped in surprise.
After only a few seconds, he reacted, pulled up his legs, and quickly came to the front desk of the supermarket. He took out an upright microphone stand, then took out another microphone, turned on the switch, and connected to Bluetooth. He quickly called to two supermarket staff and placed these items next to Han Xue.
At this moment, Han Xue sang the chorus of "I Like You", and because the microphone was connected to the speakers in every corner of the supermarket via Bluetooth, Han Xue's singing voice spread throughout the supermarket at this moment.
"I like you, those eyes are charming
Laughter is more charming
I wish you could again, caress you gently
That cute face
Holding hands and talking in sleep
Just like yesterday, you and I -"
The authentic Cantonese accent, coupled with Han Xue's moving interpretation, made it so that when the song spread throughout the supermarket, all the customers shopping in the supermarket, as well as the sales staff, all raised their heads and subconsciously looked for the source of the speaker.
Many people couldn't help but sing along. Some people asked the salesperson which singer was singing this version. When they were told that the singer at the entrance was singing live, many people gave up their shopping and headed towards the entrance of the supermarket. Go.
When the first chorus of "Like You" ended, Han Xue was surrounded by a huge crowd during just half of the song.
The camera of the program crew recorded this scene quickly, and the photographer could clearly see the whole process of the crowd around them growing from scratch. When the chorus ended, the entire scene was surrounded by people, and for a while there was actually a crowd.
A small shock.
Han Xue was also a little excited. She didn't expect so many people to come after only singing half a song and only a minute or two.
"Who is this person? There are cameras around. Is he a celebrity?"
"She sings so beautifully! She looks like a professional singer!"
"This voice is very unique, and the Cantonese is so standard. Is it the resident singer of Sanmu Orchestra, Ge Qingqi?"
"No, no, Ge Qingqi is 1.72 meters tall, which is taller than her."
"She sang this song so beautifully!"
More than 90% of the onlookers at the scene were young people, mostly college students from nearby university towns. Looking at Han Xue in disguise, they were all a little surprised. Coupled with the cameras placed around, it was not difficult for people to interact with the stars.
Make a connection.
But people think about it, but they still can't figure out Han Xue's true identity.
Someone took out their mobile phone and started recording, and posted it to major forums, Wechat groups and Weibo for inquiries.
And Han Xue was not idle either, strumming the strings on her guitar while continuing to sing "I Like You" live.
This song was not carefully prepared by her, but one of her favorite songs in the past. Today she sang it out of desperation. Unexpectedly, the effect was very good, and Han Xue's self-confidence suddenly increased.
The singing became more and more moving.
"I was so impulsive when I was full of ideals
I often complain that it is difficult to have freedom when falling in love with her
I hope you will know at this moment
This is what I say from the bottom of my heart——"
When Han Xue's singing spread throughout the supermarket as the speakers spread, the surrounding onlookers couldn't help but follow the singing and sang together.
"I like you, those eyes are charming
Laughter is more charming
I wish you could again, caress you gently
That cute face
Holding hands and talking in sleep
Just like yesterday, you and I -"
When the song came down, the whole audience burst into applause. Many people were extremely excited. Although most people's Cantonese was not standard, facing this familiar song that many people listened to over and over again, everyone's Cantonese mixed into one at this moment.
A huge singing voice, this singing voice is especially moving at this moment.
After the song "I Like You" was finished, the crowd at the scene began to become crowded. They formed two circles in front and back. As time passed, more and more people began to gather here under the herd effect.
.
During this period, someone learned about the tasks that Han Xue participated in "The Challenge of Loneliness" that needed to be completed. For a time, many people around him generously donated money.
Most people spent tens of dollars to buy a pair, some even bought two to three pairs, and some "rich" even bought ten pairs at a time.
Almost every time a song is elegiac, dozens of pairs of shoes will be sold at the venue.
However, when the program team asked these people, many people were confused about Han Xue's identity. Obviously, they didn't recognize Han Xue at the moment. Some people even said that they were attracted by Han Sen's song because they sang it.
Invest in the purchase.
Of course, many people said they liked the singer's singing and were moved to support him.
In short, as time went by, the pile of goods that originally gave Han Xue a headache were gradually sold out.
Even supply exceeds demand.
The reason is that after being exposed in major forums, Wechat groups and Weite in the same city, many people came one after another to listen to the music live, resulting in an increasing number of people. If there is enough people, there is no need to worry about not being able to sell things.
After only about two hours, all the slippers in the store were sold out. Han Xue earned a total of more than 6,000 yuan, and nearly 200 pairs of off-season sandals were sold out.
Han Xue completed the task ahead of schedule, and the pressure in her heart completely disappeared.
During this period, Han Xue sang a total of thirteen of Han Sen's songs, especially Cantonese songs such as "Bicycle", "Today Next Year", "Thousands of Que Songs", "Under the Fuji Mountain", etc., which were all praised by Han Sen.
Xue's singing was very original, and some people even praised his singing skills as almost comparable to Han Sen's.
Of course, this is obviously meant to praise Han Xue. Han Xue is not a professional singer, and there is a big gap between her own singing skills and Han Sen. Even compared with the original, there are still certain flaws.
But even so, the program team never expected to receive so much praise.
Because just a few minutes ago, when more and more locals uploaded Han Xue's self-playing and singing in the supermarket to major social networking sites, it quickly attracted the attention of netizens. After two hours,
The two songs "Like You" and "Under Mount Fuji", because of their original singing, have been liked by a large number of netizens, with over 10,000 retweets, and even appeared on the hot search list on Weibo, although they are only on the fourth
There are more than a dozen people, but this is no small matter. With such great popularity, it is easy to get the attention of tens or even hundreds of millions of people.
Many people are speculating on Han Xue's identity, but there are also many people who are aggrieved. Did they pay royalties for singing other people's songs in the supermarket?
So people started commenting on these posts @光集团和汉sen.
But strangely, there was no response from relevant parties.
And when someone found out that this was the recording site of the "Loneliness Challenge" program group, they also began to contact the Aite program group, but still there was no response.
Until Han Xue's challenge was successfully completed, after thanking all the customers who bought slippers on the spot, in order to thank the customers, she played and sang a song called "Later".
"Later, I finally learned how to love
It's a pity that you have already gone far away and disappeared into the sea of people——"
For a time, the whole network was shocked.
At five or six o'clock in the evening, the title of the song "Later" dropped to sixth place on the Weibo hot search list with huge popularity.
Although anyone with a discerning eye can tell at a glance that the sixth hot search was purchased with money, it still cannot prevent the song from quickly becoming famous due to the strong exposure.
The live version of the song "Later" attracted the attention of countless people in a short period of time after Hanhai Media Group entered the venue and began to vigorously promote it, and then was posted on the Internet in less than an hour.
