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

Chapter 475 Prophecy
At the beginning of the domestic music scene's trend of "creating stars with a lot of money", the media people and senior people in the industry with a sharp vision gave the prophecy of a "big reshuffle" and "alteration of the old and the new".

The previous prophecy had been brewing for almost three months, and it was proudly fulfilled in the strong confrontation of VS the Queen after the first day, and then a domino effect was formed, which was out of control.

So far, 5 first-tier record companies, 9 second-tier record companies, and more than two-handed third-tier record companies have entered the liquidation process in the circle and have been acquired by capital injection.

Among them, Dream Cube Records, whose capital chain was broken, received Huage's 800 million capital injection with the help of Fang Qiong's help, and at the same time gave up 55% of the shares and handed over the leading power.

The insolvent Dimei Records, with the help of Ni Houdao, received a capital injection of 300 million from Shuteng and 350 million from Huacan. 33 percent, with one-vote veto power in decision-making.

With the help of Xu Qiaoling, Tianyi Records, whose cash flow is exhausted, received a capital injection of 550 million from Daishi, and at the same time gave up 51% of the shares and handed over the leadership
There are many more record labels, still struggling on the edge of the cliff.

And the latter prophecy, it seems that when the first Huacan storm was rolled up, the first clues were first seen, and the second Huacan storm after that, and the Bekaa storm after that, formed a trend of intensifying.

But in fact, whether it is the two storms of Huacan or the Bekaa storm, including the little stars that appear from time to time, there is still a big gap between the real "alternation of old and new".

A platinum, half-platinum, or even double-platinum album can make a record company a lot of money and make a newcomer popular, but it is not qualified to shake the status of an active big-name singer.

Ever since, after the Becca storm, this prophecy gradually faded. Even if the future girl rushed to the top line with a record, she was not involved because of the different singing styles of the group and the individual.

Until the fourth week of the bet, the four newcomers under Huacan sang together, Cao Lao voiced his affirmation and optimism, and once again mentioned "alternation between old and new", it was like opening Pandora's box again.

Jiang Yizhou, Jiang Hua's new album has attracted much attention since its release.

On Friday, at noon, the sixth round of new song recommendations on the Fengyun Billboard, two songs were shortlisted, namely "Love Like the Tide" and "Green Light".

In the afternoon, the sixth round of new song recommendation on the Golden Melody List, two songs were shortlisted, namely "Tolerance" and "36 Strategies of Love".

Such a result caused a shock in the circle.

The fifth round of new song recommendation on the Fengyun Billboard yesterday, the four songs are "Love is like a tide", "Green Light", "36 Strategies of Love", and the second title of Michelle's album, the chorus song "Punishment of Love" with Wan Chengliang ".

The fifth round of new song recommendation on the Golden Melody List, the four songs are "Love Like a Tide", "Forgiveness", "36 Strategies of Love", and "The Punishment of Love".

According to the predictions of most people in the circle, in the sixth round of the two rankings, "Love's Punishment" will appear on at least one of the rankings.

But no.

Taking a step back, if the sixth round of the two rankings are both "Love Like a Tide" and "36 Strategies of Love", at most the circle will be surprised, not shocked.

However, a surprising situation happened. In the sixth round of the two charts, Liang Qiumo and Shen Jing's albums [-] and [-] were the main titles each.

What does this mean?
It shows that the two titles of their albums are evenly matched!
In this way, the probability of bursting into big sales will be significantly increased.

After all, the sales volume driven by one sutra is limited, but the sales limit driven by two sutras will be much higher.

The duo's album has been on the market for more than a week, and the attention in the circle has shown a downward trend, but with the announcement of the sixth round of new song recommendations on the two charts, it suddenly rebounded to an unprecedented level.

Snow Records.

Office of the Music Director.

Director Ji and Ge Guangyao sat face to face in the sofa area, and a tape recorder was placed on the coffee table in the middle.

Mr. Ji first inserted the Michelle tape, played the first and second titles of the album, then inserted the quiet tape, and played the first and second titles as well.

In the end, the two of you looked at me and I looked at you, but neither said a word.

After a long silence, Director Ji finally said: "You Xiaoguang customized the first hit for Michelle, the style of lyrical slow songs, with a little western JIZZ style added, the lyrics are catchy, but not out of the ordinary, and It fully echoes Michelle's most suitable vocal range, well, it can be called a classic."

Ge Guangyao frowned slightly, seeming to disagree, but after a while, his brows relaxed and he nodded in agreement.

Director Ji added: "As for the second hit, the song itself doesn't have many bright spots, the main reason is Wan Chengliang's popularity bonus."

Ge Guangyao nodded, this time agreeing very simply.

Director Ji continued: "Shen Jing's album [-] mainly focuses on dance music, and also includes elements of electronic dance music. It is definitely not mainstream, but the second album is fast-paced songs with a strong sense of rhythm. The lyrics are youthful and sunny, and they are catchy. It's Better to Dance" has the same effect."

Ge Guangyao answered: "You mean that "36 Strategies of Love" belongs to the minority, and "Green Light" can be called a classic. The former is not as good as Michelle's first album, and the latter is completely different from Michelle's first album, but It can be long and short, but for Michelle's second hit, the song is not the focus, the focus is on Wan Chengliang's popularity."

"If you want to judge, excluding Michelle's second hit and two new song recommendations, Michelle's first hit should have the most rounds of advancement, followed by "Green Light". After all, the songs are the same. 36 Strategies."

Director Ji nodded, with a helpless expression on his face, the order in his mind was quite different from the reality.

Ge Guangyao also showed a helpless expression, and sighed: "Two days ago, I would have been the judge, even because "Love 36 Strategies" directly defined the album as a minority, and the sales might have exploded a bit. , but it will definitely not explode.”

After a pause, he changed the topic: "But now, the remarks made by Mr. Cao have given me a lot of inspiration. Lao Ji, do you think there are really mainstream and non-mainstream pop music?"

Director Ji was slightly stunned. Before he could say anything, Ge Guangyao continued: "In the international music scene, rock and roll has never been recognized as mainstream, but among the top ten albums with the highest sales, there are three rock and rap music. It should definitely be regarded as a minority, but among the top ten sales albums, there is still a rap song, and the second consecutive championship week on the global billboard is also a rap classic."

"Dance music has always been regarded as a minority in the music scene in the Asian region, but the album that ranked first in sales is actually dance music. Among the ten longest songs of Uncle Zhou, who has been the champion of the Asian region billboard, there are also three dance songs. "

"Besides, in the domestic music scene, sweet songs were once popular in the mid-to-late 80s. I remember that in 85, there were 7 sweet songs among the top ten classics of the year, and half of the top ten albums sold in the year were sweet songs. In the mid-to-late 80s, rock and roll began to prevail. , Metal Bird, Kaizuo, Soaring, Goofy, Passion and other nearly ten rock bands have risen one after another, the absolute number is not too many, but the sales of their records are all surpassing those of other genre singers at the same level."

Speaking of this, Ge Guangyao shook his head and sighed: "Our thinking has been misled by the dominance of lyrical and slow songs in the domestic music scene these years."

After hearing this, Director Ji's eyes flickered, and after a while, his face was suddenly enlightened, and he was greatly inspired: "Indeed, my thinking is framed. Sweet songs, rock songs, and lyrical slow songs have all had their heyday in the domestic music scene. Therefore, In my mind, the general public only has these three genres, and all other genres are regarded as minorities, but whoever stipulates that other genres have not reached their peak in the past, and they will not be possible in the future."

"Pop music, pop music, in the final analysis, is the word pop. There is no absolute mass or minority in the style of music. It only depends on which style or styles can lead or follow the trend, and it is the current public."

The latter sentence inspired Ge Guangyao, his eyes flashed, and he said, ""Better to Dance" became popular. Although there are very few followers, it proves that the current trend, dance music is accepted by the public."

""Better to Dance" is the third title of Future Girl's album. It should be an attempt. It is precisely because of its success. This time, the first and second titles of the quiet album boldly use two dance songs."

"One is slow, one is rebellious and one is youthful. Instead of overlapping, the two songs complement each other, presenting the multiple elements of dance music one by one."

"Dance music has never risen in the domestic music scene before, and there is no basis for reference. Our judgment is not professional. To put it bluntly, it is purely out of personal preference."

Director Ji pondered for a moment, then nodded and said: "There are references, "Better to Dance" is popular, or it is still a big hit. So far, the only song from a rookie album in the domestic music scene has airborne to the top of the two charts."

As he spoke, his tone softened: "Compared to "Better to Dance", "36 Strategies of Love" and "Green Light" are not said to be of higher quality, but they are definitely not bad. I still have confidence in my judgment."

Ge Guangyao thought for a while, nodded in agreement, and slowly said: "Silence's stage performance is stronger than that of Future Girls. In terms of tailoring, "36 Strategies of Love" and "Green Light" are worse than "It's Better to Dance" "higher."

Director Ji narrowed his eyes slightly: "The popularity of Future Girl's three hits, "It's Better to Dance" can be ranked second, second only to "SUPER STAR", and it's not even close to Future Girl's monthly album sales of four by default. Half Platinum."

Ge Guangyao understood the meaning, and said abruptly: "The sixth round of recommendation for new songs on the two charts, Liang Qiumo's album No. [-] and No. [-] hits and Shen Jing's album No. [-] and No. [-] hits are evenly divided."

Director Ji only digested it for a moment, then he understood the meaning and his face was moved.

Since the results of the sixth round of recommendation of new songs on the two charts were beyond the two's expectations, they got together to discuss and learn from each other. When they got here, they came to a conclusion that made both of them shudder.

The two fell silent, and the atmosphere became cold.

After a while, Ge Guangyao let out a sigh of relief, his tone was very complicated: "New and old, is it really coming?"

Director Ji answered irrelevant questions, and his tone was equally complicated: "Last week's sales report, Zheng Guangming's point of view, now it seems that it is not completely alarmist, and the outcome of the bet may really be [-]-[-]."

The two looked at each other and fell silent again.

a tea room.

Cao Meng, Qi Ran, Song San, and Da Gang sat around a square table.

When Li Kai was a fledgling and released his first single "Suddenly Miss You", it was these four songwriters who took advantage of their seniority in the circle and publicly crushed them with an attitude of looking down.

Times have changed, and now Li Kai has transformed into a master of lyrics and music, and has become an existence they only look up to.

".I said that I want to find a shelter from the wind. Thank you for accompanying me anywhere. Your tolerance and my gentle tolerance. A night without tears is heaven."

There is a CD player in the middle of the table, and Liang Qiumo's clear, high-pitched, warm and tender singing voice is heard from it. The song is the second title of the album "Forgiveness".

The four of them drank tea and listened silently.

".Accompany you to the sunrise, see you clearly, you who are tired from crying seem to be sleeping so innocently, whisper the last request in your ear, don't say the same thing to him, don't say to him , will be afraid at night."

After "Tolerance", the next song "Don't Tell Him" ​​was played, and Cao Meng didn't continue to listen to it. Cao Meng changed a record into the CD player.

"After tonight, tomorrow is destined to be a rainy day, because you are going to leave." Not long after, Zhou Ziming's affectionate singing came. The song is the first hit of the album "Tomorrow's Rain".

Then, the second title "Broken Love Can't Stay Overnight" is the chorus of Zhou Ziming and the Metal Bird Band. The collision of affection and passion, not only does not violate the harmony, but gives people a brand-new audition experience of mountains and rivers reflecting each other.

Then, the third title is "Don't Say You Love Me".

After playing the three songs, Cao Meng turned off the CD player.

The eyes of the four people intertwined, and no one spoke for a while.

The four of them are friends in the circle, and they meet once a month on average to discuss music and exchange experiences.

Zhou Ziming is the long-established prince of love songs. After Liang Qiumo released his first single, many people in the circle called him the little prince of love songs, Zhou Ziming's successor.

This time, their album features the works of the two most popular songwriters in the circle.

Zhou Ziming's album was released yesterday, and today Liang Qiumo's album No. [-] and No. [-] hit the list. In the recommendation of new songs on the two charts, he beat Michelle's No. [-] No. [-] album, and Shen Jing's No. [-] and No. [-] album, and successfully joined the sixth round.

This made the four of them very interested in comparing their new albums.

The silence didn't last long, Dagang touched his chin and said: "I personally think that the voices of the two have a tender and warm temperament, but Liang Qiumo is more penetrating and appealing. , the two songwriters are as high-level as ever, and they are both classics. I am not qualified to judge who is higher and who is lower."

Qi Ran nodded and said: "It is indeed Liang Qiumo's songs that moved me more. First, his voice is more penetrating to people's hearts. Then, these songs by Li Kai are tailor-made. At this level, it is more comprehensive and more extreme.”

Song San hesitated for a moment, and put forward a bold point of view: "I think Liang Qiumo may be able to emerge from the blue."

The three of them each gave their opinions, and then looked at Cao Meng, who has always been the authority among the four.

Cao Meng squinted his eyes and remained silent for a while before slowly saying, "Now I feel more and more that Mr. Cao is right. A singer with a distinctive voice like Liang Qiumo should occupy a place in the domestic music scene. , and the premise is that there must be a songwriter behind him who can tailor songs for him and let his vocal characteristics fully play out, and Li Kai obviously has this ability."

After finishing speaking, he looked around at the three of them, his eyes flashed brightly: "I boldly predict that the transition from old to new may start with Liang Qiumo, and the title of Prince of Love Songs will change hands."
