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

Chapter 222 The Times Create Heroes

(The name of the studio was changed to: Huacan Music Studio, so as not to have the same name as the real one)

"The inspiration for this song comes from a story. An uncle with a disability picked up an abandoned baby girl on the side of the road. After that, the uncle became both a father and a mother. When he was raised as an adult, when he collected the tatters, he shouted exactly: If the wine is dried, it will not be sold."

Li Kai used his previous life on the earth, and narrated the creation of the song "Wine Dried If You Sell Nothing", adapted it, and narrated it.

Ade was stunned for a moment, then his eyes moved slowly, he followed the music score, and hummed the lyrics softly: "If the wine is dry, what a familiar voice, how many years of wind and rain have been with me, I never need to think about it, and I will never forget it." I will never forget that there is no land without heaven, no home without land, no you without home, and no me without you.”

Because he was unfamiliar, he sang a little intermittently, but as he sang, the weeping part in his voice became more and more serious, and his face moved.

"Okay, just this song, the specific recording arrangement, you communicate with Deputy Director Ni, remember one thing, don't deliberately change your singing style. You go first, inform Zhao Jiu, Cui Rui will come in." Li coughed dryly With a sound, he stretched out his hand to block between his gaze and the score.

"Mr. Li, thank you." As soon as Ade sniffed, he quickly restrained his emotions, stood up, bowed to Li, and then started to leave.

Not long after Ad went out, two boys came in.

Both of them are several years older than Li Kai, but the principle of respect is for those who are masters. In front of Li Kai, the two of them seemed a little reserved. Li Kai motioned them to sit down, and also spent a lot of time chatting with them. for a while.

It is learned that Zhao Jiu is from Ning Province, and Cui Rui is from Ontario Province. They met during an amateur singing competition, and then they got together and formed a group: Jiu Rui.

It has been almost two years since I sang in the restaurant and the bar, during which time I participated in three singing competitions, and the best place was the finalist of the Shenzhen Amateur Singer Grand Prix.

Two musicians had talked to them before, but they both liked one of them. Naturally, the negotiation failed.

"At present, there are a dozen well-known boy groups in the domestic music scene, and all of them are idols. Have you ever considered breaking up?" Li Kai asked a very sharp question. Still not up to idol standards.

The faces of the two were a little unnatural, but they shook their heads in unison.

Zhao Jiu replied: "In the 80s, there were several non-idol-type boy groups in Hong Kong Island and Baodao, and there were even more overseas. The most famous group was AKE."

The AKE group, three boys from different countries and different skin colors get together. Their status in the music world in this world is like the backstreet boys in the previous life on Earth.

Cui Ruicai continued: "Our voices complement each other, one plus one is greater than two, the effect of singing as a group cannot be achieved by a single singer, and we believe that with the development of the domestic music scene, there must be a place for a non-idol group like us. .”

Zhao Jiu nodded in agreement.

Li took a look at them, and said: "At present, there is no domestic music scene, but there will be in the future. Then you are the pioneers now. Unchanging hearts, courage, persistence, and hard work are indispensable."

After all, without waiting for the two to express, they took out a sheet of music and handed it over. The song was called "Cold to the End".

The song interprets when people are confused, from being obsessed and confused to facing emotions firmly, and when they are sober after maturity, they face the despair in reality.

This is one of Yuquan's famous works!

"Your style is pop with a bit of rock and roll, whichever is heavier and which is lighter. This can be adjusted appropriately, but remember, don't lose your personality and style because of pandering. Okay, you go first."

Li Kai emphasized again, unilaterally ending this exchange.

After the two went out, Feng Zhihao came in last.

Feng Zhihao is a third-tier singer. He has released two albums before, and the results are nearly 30 copies, which is the middle and lower level of the third-tier.

His voice condition and singing skills are only average among professional singers, and he doesn't have too distinctive characteristics.

Li Kai chatted with him for almost half an hour, and gave him a song "Infatuated Absolutely".

"Infatuated Absolutely" is Li Shengjie's first masterpiece.

Li Shengjie once loved a girl deeply and was absolutely infatuated with her, but in the end he missed it. He said that he finally understood the need to go from being infatuated to letting go.

His friend heard his story, so he played the song "Absolutely Infatuated".

At the beginning of the new millennium on Earth in the previous life, this song was very popular, much more popular than Li Shengjie himself.

After communicating with the three singers, Li walked to the executive vice president's office in a daze. The assistant was not there, so he knocked on the door.

"Come in!" A female voice came from inside.

Li Kai pushed open the door, only to see Su Ting in a suit sitting there approving documents, whether she was well-dressed or temperamental, she was a solid white-collar beauty.

Su Ting finished writing the last few strokes quickly, looked up at Li Kai, a smile suddenly melted on her solemn face, got up, walked around the desk, and greeted him.

Li Kai looked up and down a few times, and said with a smile, "It's changed a lot."

"Isn't it because you drove the ducks to the shelves?" Su Ting pouted and made a cup of green tea for Li Kai. The two sat down in the sofa area. Li Kai blew on the tea and said casually: "How do you feel? The management company didn't imagine It's that hard."

"There are a lot of things to learn, and I've been trying to catch up on management recently." Su Ting gave him a sideways glance, which means that the shopkeeper is standing and talking without back pain.

Li Jing said: "I can trust your learning ability."

Su Ting rolled her eyes, and suddenly said: "By the way, the three singers are all squeezed in to release the film in June, isn't it a bit rushed?"

Li Kai was a little surprised: "Ah De, Jiu Rui are releasing singles, and I have already given them the songs. Feng Zhihao's album already has five songs ready-made, and I gave him another one, and received four more. The song is enough, one month of recording time, isn’t it enough?”

Su Ting pondered: "I talked with Teacher Ni. He thinks that the singing skills of these singers need to be improved. It is best to train for a month or two before releasing a record. I think so too."

There was a flash of understanding in Li Kai's eyes. One or two months of training in single-round singing skills is probably too much, at least half a year or more. After all, the studio is the lowest level in the circle, and the hard conditions for recruiting new singers are definitely not comparable to record companies.

"Su Ting, let me tell you the truth, the singers released by the studio can only win by odd."

"Win by odd?"

Seeing that Su Ting was a little dazed, Li Kai patiently explained: "Ade's preference is for hard rock, probably because of his experience, his voice is deep, with a wild taste in his hoarseness, the combination of Jiu Rui, Zhao Jiu's voice is very explosive, Cui Ruicai Their voices are bright and floating. If they are purely based on their singing skills, they are not very good, but they all have distinctive characteristics. As long as they can be matched with suitable songs and expand their characteristics, they will become a bright spot. That's what I said."

After all, the topic changed: "At present, the dominance of lyrical and slow songs in the domestic music scene has begun to be gradually broken. In February, my album was a big hit. Including last month, two rock bands dominated the sales charts for several weeks in a row. Top ten, it can be seen."

"Of course, this is just the first clue. If you have to define it, it is the beginning of the domestic music scene moving from one era to a new one."

"As a studio, the bottom of the circle, if you want to rise up, you must be ahead of the record company and be the pioneer of the new era!"

Su Ting's eyes flickered slightly, she digested for a while, and understood a little bit: "This is the personality and characteristics you told me. The singers launched by our company do not win by their singing skills, but their personality and characteristics."

As she said that, Dai Mei frowned again, and said with some concern: "Personality and characteristics can indeed attract some fans, but will it be too small?"

Li Kai smiled: "It depends on the right time, place and people. If we go back two years and the peak period of lyrical slow songs, the number of fans attracted will be very limited, but now that the times are changing, it will be different. I In my personal judgment, the trend of the new era in the domestic music scene must have multiple genres coexisting, and individual singers must be one of the mainstream, or even the most mainstream, this is the so-called hero made by the times!"

Times make heroes.

The last five words made Su Ting's heart tremble inexplicably, she was quiet for a while, and nodded slightly: "I understand, what we Huacan have to do is to break the existing laws at the ebb of the new era and seize Tide."

Li Kai nodded decisively: "Yes!"

In the last four days of April, a total of 29 singers posted videos, a third more than in the first three days of November last year. Among them, the number of first- and second-tier singers exceeded the number of hands.

During the May [-]st Golden Week, the competition for new songs recommended by the two charts showed a rare anxiety.

The last day of May Day, Thursday.

In the fifth round of the Billboard, the four songs shortlisted are the album hits of the four singers, while in the fifth round of the Golden Melody Chart, the four songs shortlisted are also the hits of the albums of the four singers.

Moreover, there is only one overlap between the shortlisted songs of the two charts.

In other words, the title of the album with seven singers was shortlisted for the fifth round of new song recommendations on the two charts.

Such a situation has only happened twice in the history of the domestic music scene, both during the chaos of the music scene in the early 90s.

On Friday, the sixth round of new song recommendations for the two charts, a total of four shortlisted songs, none of which overlapped were from the titles of the four singers' albums.

On Saturday, the seventh round of new song recommendations on the Fengyun Billboard was Fan Zhilong's album title "Jump Out".

As for the seventh round of new song recommendations on the Golden Melody List, Chen Guang's album title "I Can't Let You Cry Alone" was shortlisted.

As the No. [-] male singer under Shuteng Records, Fan Zhilong is a mid-tier first-tier singer. He is the most popular among a dozen first-tier and second-tier singers who released films at the same time.

It is not surprising that he can stand out and pass the customs clearance in the two rankings.

As for Chen Guang, his positioning in the circle, that is, the second-tier mid-level, was able to break through the siege and occupy one of the two rankings. The biggest factor was that his album was the main title, which was the work of a big name in the circle. It is a masterpiece!
In Jiang City, Chen Guang and his party, who were sitting in the car and going to broadcast live on the radio, received the news that they had passed the Golden Melody List. Immediately, the car was full of joy!
Chen Qian, Chen Guang, and his assistants had suppressed their emotions for several days, and at this moment, the rain was over and the sky was clear.
