Xinghai Conservatory of Music.

Inside the principal's office.

Ye Weiyang and Jing Bo'an and other members of the band were standing well in front of the principal's desk.

Except for Ye Weiyang, the remaining four people, including Yang Xiao, who was the most thorny, all lowered their heads and looked at their toes without saying a word.

Ye Weiyang had no choice but to smile and asked on behalf of the band, "Principal... Are you asking us for anything to tell me?"

"Yes," the old principal who was reviewing some documents responded dullly.

"You guys, you should have seen the discussion about you on the Internet in the morning, right?"

All five nodded together.

But no, the five people were almost awakened by external forces early in the morning. Most of them were phone calls from their roommates or relatives and friends, which made them wake up from their sleep.

Let’s come together, what greeted them was the popularity on the Internet, which made the other four people except Ye Weiyang feel a little unreal.

This sudden explosion really surprised them, it was like a dream.

After watching two performance videos on the Internet that were topped by Weibo and Douyin, as well as the positive reviews in the video, and various fan clubs that sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, the four of them were excited and confused.

Before they could come back to their senses, they were called to the principal's office by the counselor. At this time, their emotions were still a little unstable.

The old principal laughed. Although he had never experienced such sudden and popular things by himself, he had seen many examples.

"You guys don't have to be too happy too early. In the Internet age, examples like you are really too common."

"If you don't mention it, just two months ago, there was a song called "Feed You" on TikTok suddenly became popular, but do you see, the girl who sang "Feed You" now has any subsequent waves?"

"You should know this phenomenon more than me, right?"

"At best, it's just an internet celebrity effect, it seems very hot now, but in fact it's just an illusion of traffic, the moon in the water, and the flowers in the mirror."

"After a week or two, when the popularity of this video has passed, when everyone loses interest and freshness in this song, everything will be shattered, just a flash in the pan."

"There are too many examples of this kind. There are one or two cases every year, even every month. To put it bluntly, this is just an Internet carnival. After the carnival, nothing will be left."

The old principal's words were like a basin of cold water pouring on the four people in Jingbo'an, which directly cooled them down.

really.

As students of the Conservatory of Music, they have seen too many examples of popular online because of a song or a cover.

Some people may even become popular just because a short video is very handsome.

However, this kind of fire is a fire without any foundation, it is just a flash in the pan. It takes as short as one or two weeks or only one or two months. New internet celebrities will replace them, and then gradually lose their popularity and become an ordinary person with nothing.

The bonus period is only one month, and maybe it will be only one month in your life.

Just in line with that, everyone in the Internet era has fifteen minutes of chance to become famous, but they happened to wait for this opportunity.

Thinking of this, Jing Bowen and Yang Xiao's faces, which were originally excited and happy, collapsed suddenly.

However, Ye Weiyang's expression on his face was very calm from beginning to end.

"Principal, we all understand these things. It's just an unexpected success, which can't represent anything. We can't even be considered a debut band. To put it bluntly, we are just a little internet celebrity. No one may remember us in a few days." Ye Weiyang said with a shallow smile, with a calm expression.

The old principal was very satisfied with Ye Weiyang's mentality and said with appreciation: "Yes, it means maintaining a heart that is neither humble nor arrogant. The popularity on the Internet is virtual and cannot be grasped. Netizens like this person today and that person tomorrow, and they will forget you in a blink of an eye."

"Only by truly making excellent music that can make people sing classics, this is a real achievement and can bring fame that others cannot take away."

"Although "Stubborn" is indeed such an excellent song, becoming famous cannot represent anything. It is just a meteor. To become a star in the sky, it requires continuous excellent works to lay the foundation."

"You are just starting now. You must not slackewer, nor be blinded by the popularity at this moment. You must be down-to-earth and continue to create seriously."

After the old principal beat Ye Weiyang and others with a serious look on his face, he saw that Jing Bo'an and others calmed down from the sudden burst of enthusiasm, Zhan Yan smiled and said, "But suddenly burst of popularity is also a good thing."

"Because the video was posted by the school's official account, since the video became popular, the school has received a lot of companies that want to consult and sign you."

"Most of them are so-called Internet celebrity operation companies, and some unknown brokerage companies. These companies are not reliable. They just want to make quick money while you are popular. They will not help you make any long-term plans. They may make quick money for a month or two, and then abandon you."

"So most of these companies have been rejected by us in the name of the school. This consumption popularity is meaningless. It will only waste the opportunity to become popular this time and also eliminate the public's favorability for you. In the long run, it will harm you without any benefit."

"But, there are companies that really want to sign you for a long-term development. For example, the local Tianyao Media in Guangzhou, Hailan Music in the Magic City, Shengle Media, Xingchuan Music and other companies have sent signing invitations to the school, hoping to sign your band."

"These companies are all medium-level music production and artist brokerage companies in China, and their strength is still good. Unlike those Internet celebrity operating companies, they all think they make quick money."

"They all said that they wanted to cooperate with your band for a long time and wanted to sign your agency contract. The conditions provided were pretty good, providing resources for media, variety shows, and music production, and were willing to help you create albums, hold fan clubs, and even concerts."

"These companies have left their contact information. I'll give it to you later. You can communicate with them on your own. This kind of thing involving your own acting career will not make it easy for the school to interfere with it."

Ye Weiyang nodded with a smile and sincerely thanked the principal: "Thank you, principal, we will consider it seriously."

If there is no school in front, it is estimated that this morning they will receive a bunch of contract invitations and cooperation invitations from brokerage companies and Internet celebrity operation companies, both large and small, from all over the country.

How could the few students tell so many companies that are sincere, those are false, those are really capable, those are just grass-roots teams.

It will probably take half a month to get them organized and sign a company that is truly suitable for signing contracts, and it may not be possible to choose the right one.

With the help of the school teachers, they easily clarified the messy invitations and quickly selected the company that was truly capable and had sincere cooperation intentions.

Next, Ye Weiyang and the others only need to make choices among a few companies, which is very convenient and easy to make a decision.

It's really great to have such a strong backing as a school behind it.

The old principal hasn't finished his words yet.

After picking up the tea cup and tea, he continued, "There is one more thing."

"You should know the Strawberry Music Festival?"

"One of your senior sisters is now working in the Rainbow Project and is responsible for the operation of the Strawberry Music Festival. Last night, your senior sister hurriedly called the school, saying that some accident happened to the guests of this Strawberry Music Festival, and a temporary gap appeared. I hope your band will help save the scene."

"The performance will begin on September 20th. There are eight minutes of performance time in total, enough to perform two songs. The performance time period will not be very important, it should be hot time, but it is already a very good performance opportunity for you, a new band."

"The performance is 30,000 yuan, and you will pay after the performance. This price is also a very high price in the new band."
