After failing the college entrance examination, he became a big star

Chapter 123 Playlist
".How many times, faced with cold eyes and ridicule, never gave up on the ideal in my heart. I was in a trance for a moment. If I felt something lost, it had faded unconsciously. Love in my heart"

Li Kai's voice added a vibrato, with a little sense of vicissitudes, and the emotion was fully brewed here, and then his voice suddenly rose.

"Forgive me for being unruly, indulgent and loving freedom in this life. I am also afraid that one day I will fall and abandon my ideal. Anyone can do it, even if I am afraid that one day it will only be you and me."

The intensity of the voice was strengthened bit by bit, and it became more and more intense. In the end, it was not only a strong sound, but also a shout. Infected by the song, everyone's emotions rose steadily.

After the word "together with me" was dragged down by Li Kai, there were applause, cheers, and whistles in the bar.

When the second stanza was sung, everyone fell silent again, and before they knew it, more than one-third of them were already standing there listening to the song.

".Still free yourself, sing my song forever, travel thousands of miles"

When he sang the first verse, Li Kai's voice was still a little tight, but in the second stanza, it gradually improved, and in the later stage, before the climax, the whole person entered the best state, with emotion and breath, with breath and voice, and emotion Breath and sound are three in one.

The artistic conception of the song is like a wandering son in the cold north wind, with a heart, step forward step by step, his eyes are full of firmness, yearning, expectation, no regrets
Everyone was overwhelmed with emotion, some mechanically drank beer after gulp, some clenched their fists unconsciously, some clasped the back of their heads with their hands, all of them were filled with excitement and excitement that was about to come out.

It is said that everyone is listening to it for the first time, otherwise the scene at this moment should be a chorus of more than a hundred people.

"Abandoning ideals, anyone can, even if you are afraid that one day it will only be you and me."

At the end of the climax, the last line of lyrics, a cappella, fell, and the bar was like a frying pan, with thunderous applause, cheers, shouts, and whistles mixed together.

"Abandoning ideals, anyone can, even if you are afraid that one day it will only be you and me."

One after another, voices at the top of their throats rose up, repeating the last line of the lyrics.

I had the experience of being ordered to sing in a bar last time. This time, after Li Kai finished singing, he said thank you very softly, and then walked off the stage in three steps at a time.

Off the stage, I don't know if it was Xu Qianqiu's arrangement, the resident singer was already waiting there, Li opened his eyes, and the resident singer came on stage directly.

However, the way of handing over the stage was not smooth. Many guests realized it later, complained and complained one after another, and many people even booed the resident singer who had just appeared on the stage.

In the 90s, even though Shenzhen was a first-tier city in China, people's living standards were not very high. What's more, among the city's population of more than 1000 million, a quarter were migrant workers from all over the country.

The song "Broad Sea and Sky" sang everyone's heartfelt voice, coupled with the charm of rock and roll.

After everyone's emotions were mobilized, they really couldn't stop it.

It's like serving a dish when eating, everyone tasted it and thought it was delicious, and instinctively wanted to add another dish, but at this time the dish was taken away, Ma De, how can everyone be willing?

In the end, it was the bar manager who went on stage and explained to the public that the singer just now was not the resident singer of the bar, but a VIP guest of the bar. Therefore, he did not accept singing requests.

The explanation is not enough, and then announced that all the guest bars tonight will give away a free bottle of beer, which slightly appeases everyone's dissatisfaction.

Li Kai went back to the booth, saw only Xu Qianqiu and Ning Lan, and asked doubtfully, "Where's Lao Mo?"

Xu Qianqiu puffed out shredded tobacco: "I'm going to get the wine. In 82, Chateau La Fontaine only produced 1800 bottles of red wine. Almost all the wines on the market were fakes. His bottle was given to him by a foreign friend. It's genuine. It has been lying in my wine cellar for more than five years, thanks to you, I can finally taste it tonight."

"So, it's [-] percent." Li Zhang scratched his head and smiled, and put the guitar back together.

"It's more than [-] points, even if it's not worse than the masterpieces of Metal Bird." Ning Lan took a deep breath and stared at Li Kai, with some indescribable meaning in her eyes.

"Metal Bird, rock band?"

Seeing Li Kai's dazed look, Ning Lan almost passed out, and said with shame: "You don't even know Metal Bird. In the middle and late 80s, including the early 90s, it was one of the best rock bands in the domestic music scene, the record holder of rock record sales, The annual sales volume is 230 million, and the cumulative sales volume has exceeded triple platinum.”

After a pause, he added: "The total sales of the record market last year nearly doubled compared to 230. Based on this calculation, the sales volume of [-] million that year is equivalent to today's over [-] gold, or even quasi-[-] gold. "

Li was stunned, a little ashamed, and secretly determined in his heart that he must make up for the history of the world's Chinese music scene in the near future.

"You're not right, you're not right, you're not right." Feng Mo walked quickly with a wine bottle in his hand, and when he saw Li's opening, he stretched out a finger and shook it.

Li Kai was a little surprised: "What's wrong, this song is rock and roll."

"I didn't say it wasn't rock and roll."

Feng Mo snorted, with a displeased and dissatisfied expression on his face: "Playing and singing with a guitar, this is the original singing mode of rock and roll, but today, this singing mode is a kind of retrogression."

He pointed at the audience with his finger: "If it is accompanied by a complete set of band accompaniment, it will definitely not be the current effect. Don't even think about it. If you want to sneak out, the guests will smash Lao Xu's bar."

Li opened his eyes for a second to understand the meaning, and snorted: "Is it that exaggerated?"

He said so on the lips, but he knew in his heart that even if what Feng Mo said was an exaggeration, it was not an exaggeration.

What is rock and roll?There are many opinions on the definition, but there is one thing, that is the word spirit.

Everyone has a rock and roll dream in their hearts, and the guidance is the human spirit, which resonates with the music.

The first thing in rock and roll is the song, followed by the music accompaniment, and before the singer's singing skills, the music accompaniment is not just a foil, but a sublimation!

If the song itself resonates with the audience and mobilizes their emotions, then adding background music can further release their emotions.

Once people's emotions are mobilized and released, coupled with the stimulation of alcohol, it is really uncontrollable.

Just imagine, there are passionate dance music playing in the bar, hundreds of people are swaying there, and suddenly the background music stops and the lights are on, what will happen?

Li Jian sang a song. Firstly, Ning Lan gave him a professional-grade guitar. He wanted to try it out. Secondly, he wanted to challenge other styles of music to see if he could perform in front of Xu Qianqiu and Fengmo. After passing the test, I chose the song "Broad Sea and Sky"!

With the guitar accompaniment, the live effect is definitely worse, especially the transitions between paragraphs in the song. The music that lacks passion keeps the heat, and the emotions of the audience will cool down slightly.

However, what he wants is this effect. He wants the evaluation of Xu Qianqiu and the others to be the song itself, and the less other factors are mixed, the better.

In addition, if he really needs to have a whole band, or even just one more bass, or one more drummer, he may change the song.

He didn't come to kick the stage, to completely ignite the emotions of the guests, and coax him to occupy the stage one after another, and the other resident singers will be overshadowed. Not kind!

You know, now is not before his debut, he is a professional singer.

However, the reaction of the guests still exceeded his expectations, which is enough to prove that "Broad Sea and Sky" is hailed as an immortal classic, and it deserves it!
"Exaggerated?" Xu Qianqiu was noncommittal, and said slowly: "It is said that this is in Shenzhen City. If it is in Guangzhou City, Baodao, Hong Kong Island, there is no need for a band. As for your singing just now, I guarantee that if you don't return to the stage, My bar will suffer."

Compared with previous Earth, Cantonese is more popular in this world. How to put it, you don’t read subtitles, just listen to songs. Everyone can roughly understand the meaning, but it’s not as fluent as Mandarin.

The proportion of record market sales, Mandarin songs, Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen, Guangzhou accounted for [-]%, Baodao, Hong Kong Island accounted for [-]%, and Cantonese songs, Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen accounted for [-]%, Guangzhou , Taiwan, and Hong Kong Island accounted for [-]%.

Feng Mo brought the red wine, the meaning in Xu Qianqiu's words, the high evaluation of this song is self-evident, but Li Kai still wanted to be straightforward, so he said: "Then you think, if you As the title of the album, will this song have a chance to sell well?"

Feng Mo's eyes flashed brightly, and his face was slightly serious: "I listened to the details once and I didn't have time to scrutinize them, but overall, none of my works can surpass this one, I think it's not impossible!"

Xu Qianqiu was silent for a moment, and then said: "Actually, your song "Suddenly Miss You" has already incorporated a little rock element, and this song has a more pure rock style."

After a pause, he slowly said: "The chance of a big sale is [-]%, and the chance of [-]% is about platinum, and the gold is guaranteed."

Li smiled as expected, and at the same time thought: Rock and roll in this world is not dead after all, and neither are other genres!

Four people, each with a glass, shared the red wine collected by Feng Mo, and sat for a while. It was almost eleven o'clock, and Li opened his eyes and said goodbye.

Ning Lan was tired after a busy day, so she didn't go back to her residence, and went to the room behind the bar to rest.

After the two left, Feng Mo looked at the stage where a resident singer sang and danced vigorously, performing very hard. He was absent-minded for a while, and suddenly said: "Old Xu, he is very similar to Luo Yusheng back then."

Xu Qianqiu glanced at him: "Luo Yusheng was called a ghost back then, because his works were praised and criticized, compared with him." He didn't continue, but shook his head slowly.

In the next few days, Li Kai asked Su Ting to find a large amount of information for him, and supplemented the history of the development of the domestic music scene.

The first stage was before the Eighth Five-Year Plan. At that time, folk songs and sweet songs were the mainstream. Sweet songs were also a kind of love songs, which were relatively reserved. Rock and roll barely entered the mainstream, but it was much worse than the previous two. There are representative figures, the Queen of Sweet Songs , Ma Qianwen, the queen of folk songs, Luo Yan, two rock bands who later became big guys, made their debut, the Metal Bird Band, and the Brilliant Band.

From [-] to [-] was the second stage, that was the golden age of rock and roll, the undisputed first mainstream, inspirational songs and sweet songs were the second mainstream, folk songs began to decline, and lyrical slow songs gradually emerged, which can be regarded as the third mainstream. Representatives include the Metal Bird Band, Brilliant Band, and BENCE, the second generation sweet song queen, Ye Zixin, the two kings of inspirational songs, Tian Jian, Wang Jie, the king of love songs, Su Guorui, the prince of love songs, Liu Yibai, and others There are many, but they are half a grade lower than these people. Eighty percent of them are from Hong Kong Island and Treasure Island.

From [-] to [-] was the third stage. These three years were a turning point in the domestic music scene. Mainland singers rose rapidly and started a melee with singers from Hong Kong Island and Taiwan Island. There was no absolute mainstream in the music scene. Rock, inspirational songs, love songs, strong songs, dance , including Chinese style, R&B and various genres compete with each other.

In terms of male singers, there have been Five Heavenly Kings VS Hong Kong Island and Three Heavenly Kings of Baodao successively in the mainland, and now Guo Yifu and Zhao Chuanxiong are the second of the Eight Heavenly Kings.

Finally, in terms of singers, the mainland countered Hong Kong Island and Baodao, and the advantage is not too great. It almost formed June Fourth. In terms of songs, lyrical slow songs overwhelmed all other genres and became an absolute mainstream, which is quite a bit It means that Qin destroyed the six kingdoms and unified the world.

From 150 to the present, in nearly four years, the main albums with over [-] million sales in the domestic music scene are almost all lyrical slow songs, with a little bit of other genre elements added to them at most.

Ninety-three, there are two triple-platinum albums in a single year.

In the year of [-], five albums achieved triple platinum, which was the pinnacle.

Ninety-five, and it fell back to three cards and three platinum.

Now that 260/[-] of [-] has passed, only the album released by Tianwang Liu Mingliang at the beginning of the year has reached [-] million sales, and it is expected to break triple platinum before the end of the year.

It cannot be said that there is a trend from prosperity to decline, but at least the trend of peaking and falling is already very obvious.

Li Kai discussed with Ni Houdao twice. Ni Houdao has been in the circle for 11 years. He is an absolute veteran. He also holds the same view on the current domestic music scene. That's all.

According to Ni Houdao, in the underground music circle, all kinds of genres are no longer inferior to lyrical slow songs, and in the past two years, there have been a few albums of other genres that are close to platinum sales. superior.

There are not a few farsighted musicians in the industry, but second- and third-tier record companies are unwilling to let their singers take risks. Just taste it.

After collecting various materials, Ni Houdao, Feng Mo, Xu Qianqiu's point of view, past life experience, plus his own feelings, after careful consideration, Li Kai made a decision about his debut album.

Before getting off work on Friday, he went to the deputy director's office in person, and put a playlist and three sheet music in front of Qiao Li.

There are five songs in the playlist: "Qilixiang", "Heart Like a Knife", "Your Backpack", "Norwegian Forest", and "Little Love Song".
