Mo Xiaojuan naturally wouldn't sit back and watch the media stir up trouble. It just so happened that the public relations department of Hua Yi Brothers was newly established, so this was an opportunity to test it.
The night the public opinion appeared in the media, the public relations department managed by Xiao Ai released a statement through the official "Phoebe Studio" Microbroadcasting. "The four new songs released by Yang Yi and Murphy have nothing to do with the promotion of 'Soldiers Assault', nor are they hype like some media outlets said. The reason why they released four military songs is because Yang Yi used to be a soldier, and he wants to create some military songs for his comrades in the old army."
At the same time, Murphy and Yang Yi's accounts also reposted this Microbroadcasting. This was their first clarification.
Interestingly enough, maybe the staff around him reminded Chen Fengchen. The next day, the old man also opened his own Microbroadcasting account and applied to become a verified VIP.
The old man was old but not old. He was very skilled at operating the computer. Even though it was just a finger tap, he still typed out what he wanted to say. He reposted this Microbroadcasting and said humorously, "Xiao Yang, don't block my words! After listening to your and Murphy's four songs, I want to use them as theme songs and TV series interludes! "
Of course, the old man also sent a Microbroadcasting to clarify for Yang Yi. "This is indeed a misunderstanding. People who are familiar with Yang Yi will know how lazy he is. Forget about hype, he doesn't even want to participate in ordinary promotional activities. As the original author of 'Soldiers Assault', he didn't want to come to the press conference before the start of filming. He was invited several times before he could come to the press conference. Let me ask you, how could such an outstanding author, who is above the common populace, do something even more outrageous like moral kidnapping? "
If Yang Yi and Murphy's self-clarification wasn't very convincing, then Chen Fengchen's statement was extra powerful.
The media's criticism of Yang Yi began to die down. Instead, some quick-witted reporters abandoned their reports on Yang Yi's new song and ran to Beijing to look for Chen Fengchen.
Chen Fengchen was much easier to interview than Yang Yi. The old man had no choice but to pick a media outlet that he was more familiar with and accepted their interview.
In this interview, the main topic was still "Soldiers' Assault," but the reporter still asked about Yang Yi.
Chen Fengchen was still very willing to tell them about how he met Yang Yi. After all, Yang Yi and Murphy's relationship had already been made public. There was no need to keep some things that couldn't be said back then a secret.
Yang Yi and Chen Fengchen's acquaintance was actually Chen Fengchen's personal visit!
This big news made the reporters extremely excited. Chen Fengchen was a famous director and was highly respected, yet Yang Yi had actually asked him to look for him.
Fortunately, Chen Fengchen also knew that some reporters liked to beat around the bush. He went straight to the point. "Don't say that I visited him three times. At that time, Yang Yi didn't know who I was and didn't know why I went to look for him! I saw that Little Yang's work was so good that I was worried that others would take away the film and television rights. So, I directly asked the publisher for Little Yang's address and found him. "
"Speaking of which, it's quite interesting. Yang Yi didn't recognize me, but Murphy was there at the time. She sang the ending song of one of my TV series and recognized me!" When Chen Fengchen thought about it, he could not help but chuckle. "Moreover, when I saw Yang Yi, I was a little surprised because I thought that the author who could create a work like Drawing Sword should be an old man like me who is more sensitive to the history of the war in the past. I didn't expect it to be a young man! He's too young! "
Chen Fengchen sighed.
"Then, Director Chen, what do you think of Yang Yi? Because he rarely appears in front of the media, many fans are eager to know what kind of person he is! "The reporter followed Chen Fengchen's words and asked.
Chen Fengchen thought for a moment and said, "Little Yang is a very talented child, whether it's his musical creation or his literary creation. Am I right? I don't need to say that. Everyone can see it. However, I also want to say that Little Yang is a relatively low-key and hardworking person. Being low-key is an excellent quality that our impetuous entertainment industry lacks. "
"Everyone knows that it's too easy to make money in the entertainment industry. There are more than a billion Chinese people in mainland China. The market is too big and the pie is too big. Just a little bit of it and you can make a lot of money! That's why too many people are rushing in, but they just want to make money. Scandals and hype. Today, they're hyping up the little fresh meat, tomorrow, they're hyping up the pretty starlets. As long as they can increase their traffic, they're not afraid of not making money. However, what kind of works can they produce? Can they stand the test of time? " Chen Fengchen had long been disgusted by the impetuous atmosphere of the entertainment industry in the New Era. This time, he used his evaluation of Yang Yi to express his feelings.
"I won't talk about anything else. Let's talk about that 'That Night' that was very popular last month, right? I have an assistant who was listening to the song too. The lyrics were unbearable to the ear. I have no idea how that singer wrote such a song! Look, I don't even remember his name! "Chen Fengchen said.
Ju Jie was unwittingly implicated, and Chen Fengchen didn't know that the instigator behind this was the Yang Yi he was praising.
Chen Fengchen continued to speak frankly. He used Yang Yi as a positive example. "I saw that some media outlets were surprised by Yang Yi's creative speed. However, with such a vigorous creative state, have you ever thought about how much effort he put in behind it? If he was like those little fresh meats, showing off in front of the media every day, unable to complete his daily schedule, how would he have the energy to create? It's precisely because he's low-key and hardworking that he was able to create so many classic works that people can't bear to part with. "
"Director Chen, do you also like Yang Yi's new songs?" the reporter asked.
"Of course. When I heard these songs, my mind was suddenly filled with memories of my days in the army many years ago. I'm already in my sixties, yet I still cry like a child," Chen Fengchen lamented without hiding anything.
Chen Fengchen's interview hadn't been reported yet, but Yang Yi's fans, who were slow to react online, finally heard Yang Yi's new songs. It had to be said that among these fans, most of them had followed Yang Yi since "Soldiers' Assault," so they had a special interest in the army. After hearing these military songs, they felt very emotional.
Naturally, they weren't like ordinary fans. They especially admired these songs and couldn't help but recommend them to their friends.
And very quickly, they found out from Yang Yi's personal website that the media was attacking Yang Yi. Immediately, they were unhappy and started to support Yang Yi.
"What do you know? Yang Yi singing military songs couldn't be more suitable, okay? "
"Even Old Mu, who had a meal with Yang Yi, said that Yang Yi personally confirmed that he was a soldier. He was a soldier, so why is singing military songs a publicity stunt?"
"They're criticizing such good songs. Is there something wrong with the music industry's brain?"
"Nowadays, the pop music industry seems to have less and less room for the existence of old songs, but I like Yang Yi's old songs. I hope that friends who share the same interest can support Yang Yi. Don't let tradition become history!"
The support of Chen Fengchen and many older artists who liked Yang Yi's songs, coupled with more and more people who were attracted by the excellence of these songs, finally shook off the criticism that everyone wanted to get involved in.
Originally, the Southwest Military Region's art troupe and publicity department were still preparing a publicity plan for Yang Yi. They also knew that there was a misunderstanding in the media and had received instructions from their superiors to clear Yang Yi's name. But before they could slowly respond, the direction of public opinion in the report had taken a 180-degree turn.
The media was praising Yang Yi and Murphy for their brave breakthrough. The music critics were surprisingly unanimous and gave the four songs very high praise.
Military songs were going to be popular?
