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

Chapter 495 Feng Shui Ridge

on the stage.

Twelve dancers were arranged in random order, all dressed in black leather, and each had a nunchaku in their hands.

Standing among the twelve dancers, the lead singer of the four seasons, Xiao He, is wearing a silver-white tights that stands out, his hair stands on end, and his two bronze-colored, muscular arms are exposed. Festival stick.

And MAN, and cool.

"The smell of smoke in the rock roasting shop is filled, and next door is the martial arts hall. The mother in the shop, the tea ceremony, has three stages. The boss who teaches boxing and kicking martial arts, practices iron sand palms, and plays Yang's spear."

The background music sounded, the stage lights dazzled, the singing sounded, and the picture moved.

"Nunchaku", one of the masterpieces of Jay Chou, the former earth king, is also one of the famous works.

At the same time, it is also one of the most unusual and distinctive songs among Jay Chou's large number of classic songs.

Needless to say, Jay Chou's position in the Chinese music scene, after the new millennium, the undisputed No.1.

Among them, his unparalleled creative talent is one of the most important factors, and even one of them can be removed.

Fans say that his music is 20 years ahead of the times, praise him as a musical genius who emerges once in decades, and compare his position in the Chinese music scene with Michael Jackson's position in the international music scene.

However, before Jay Chou became famous, it was not all smooth sailing, and it can even be said to be quite bumpy.

I applied for the music department of Taipei University twice but was not accepted, so I started working in a restaurant, and later participated in a variety show with an original composition, and was taken by Wu Zongxian to work as a music assistant in the company.

In the next three years, I created a lot of works. Because the style of the music was too wild, or too individual, other singers dared not sing, and it became commonplace to withdraw songs.

Among the many songs that were returned, there were two hit songs "Nunchaku" and "Tornado". The former was returned by Zhang Huimei, the queen of sales in Taiwan, and the latter was returned by his boss Wu Zongxian.
The style of "Nunchaku" is a combination of hard and soft rock and super fast version of Rap music, which created the "Chinese style" of Chinese pop music.

The lyrics are interesting and fun, written by Jay Chou's "queen lyricist" Fang Wenshan, with a strong ethnic style, imaginative and full of imagery.

Details also have the finishing touch.

After the song was released, nunchuck playing became popular for a time. There were even incidents where men sang "Nunchuk" and liked to play nunchuck. They had disputes with their neighbors over trivial matters and beat others with nunchuck. event.

It has also been changed into many versions such as the Sichuan version.

The MV version, which was broadcast globally through the international music channel of MTV, caused a lot of repercussions in Italy and fascinated many Italian girls.

The above is enough to show the great success of the song "Nunchaku", and its influence is not inferior to Jay Chou's "Blue and White Porcelain", "Qilixiang" and other songs that can be called king bombs.

Putting it in any album is enough to serve as the first hit.

There are two reasons why Li Kai only used it as the three main titles of the new album of Four Dog Days.

First, this is a song that is difficult to copy. Even Jay Chou himself will never create similar songs with the same success in the future. Simply put, it is "alternative".

And the first and second titles of the album, especially the first title is to set the style for the whole album and the singer himself, which is obviously not suitable.

Second, although the domestic music scene in this world is no longer a unified system of lyrical slow songs, lyrical slow songs are still the biggest mainstream. Like the earth in the previous life, it shines brightly, and Li Kai is not fully sure.

Therefore, after consideration, we chose the safest method, placing it in the three majors, and giving them the same promotional resources as the second major.

"Use the nunchaku quickly, hum, use the nunchuck quickly, hum, if I have lightness skills, hum, be upright and unyielding, and be upright, hum, use the nunchaku quickly, hum, I will defend with a knife in my hand, hum, beautiful roundabout kick."

In the climax of the chorus, Xiao He’s voice is full of passion, and together with the twelve dancers, under the strobe lights of the stage, they wield the nunchakus in their hands in accordance with the rhythm of the music.

That picture makes people feel emotional and blood boiling unconsciously.

After the song was sung, the emotionally mobilized audience applauded enthusiastically and applauded enthusiastically, creating a fiery atmosphere.

Saturday.

noon.

A five-star hotel in Shanghai, a suite living room.

Shu Zhen, manager Feng Ling, assistant Miao Miao, the three of them were eating takeaway lunch while watching TV.

On the TV, the list of new songs recommended by Feng Yunbang first reviewed the first six rounds, and then announced the results of the seventh round.

".I pray to have a transparent heart, and eyes that can shed tears, give me the courage to believe again, oh, go beyond lies and embrace you"

The voice of Xiao He, the lead singer of the Four Dog Days band, was full of longing and tearing from the TV.

"The Brightest Star in the Night Sky" advanced to the seventh round.

The three stopped their chopsticks at the same time, and the living room fell into silence.

"Shu Zhen, this week's competition for new song recommendations on the two charts is more intense than last week's. Only your first and second album hits are both shortlisted for the fifth round, so you may not lose in terms of sales."

It wasn't until the song was played that Feng Lingfang spoke out to comfort her. She knew that the failure of the album's second title to pass the Billboard would definitely be a big blow to Shu Zhen.

Shu Zhen didn't respond.

Miaomiao quickly nodded in agreement: "Yeah, last week Zhou Ziming's album did not perform as well as Huacan's newcomer Jiang Hua in the two list of new song recommendations, but the weekly sales were counter-punch. Sister Zhen, I bet yours this week The sales volume will definitely surpass the Four Dog Days band, and that Kong Yanyin."

Shu Zhen still didn't respond.

Feng Ling's eyes looked worried: "Shu Zhen, don't be like this. The two new song recommendations are only for reference, and they don't represent sales."

Shu Zhen suddenly said: "I understand what you said, and I don't think the album sales will lose to the Four Dog Days band, or even Su Yaqing."

After a pause, the conversation suddenly changed: "But on the other hand, since the album of the Four Dog Days is the first to clear the Billboard, there is a possibility that the sales volume will beat me. You don't deny this, right?"

Both Feng Ling and Miao Miao are silent, the possibility exists of course, and it’s not small, after all, it’s the first chart, and the recommendation of new songs on the two charts is not equivalent to album sales, but it is like a weather forecast, which is a recognized barometer of sales in the circle .

Shu Zhen immediately asked: "For the album sales of the Four Dog Days band, as long as one of Su Yaqing and I wins, how much chance will there be of winning the bet?"

Both Feng Ling and Miao Miao were choked, and their expressions became solemn.

With the current situation of the betting contract, not to mention that Hua Can has a greater chance of winning, if the snow rolls to death, it will be [-]-[-], but it can still be [-]-[-]. The most important point is that inside the circle and the company, including Shu Zhen himself, believes that she has a good relationship with her. It is certain that Su Yaqing occupies two seats in the top five middle schools.

Once the ironclad thing changes, Gunxue's chances of winning will drop by a thousand miles, more than two or three percent.

But right now, this impossible possibility doesn't seem to be really impossible!

"Since Ning Lan sealed it in March, I have been thinking about finding Li Kai to make an appointment with him for his next album. As a result, his work was blocked first by the circle, and then frozen by the company, so I gave up the idea for the time being."

"Later, his works were unblocked, Xuezang was also unblocked, and he also served as my concert guest. We had two collaborations, and I wanted to build a good relationship with him, but the company forced me to talk to Ade There was a concert in the same place, and I called him to explain. He didn't seem angry, but Feng Ling, you asked his manager about the song, but he was answered straight away. I knew that he was thinking about it. Those who have grudges."

"I struggled with this for many days. With the example of Ning Lan transferring to Huacan, I thought about buying out the remaining contract with the company for less than a year at my own expense, and then switching to Huacan. Just when I was about to make up my mind, the company And signed a bet with Hua Can."

"In the end, I not only renewed the contract with the company, but also invested all my savings in the contract, completely cutting off the possibility of working with him again."

Speaking of this, Shu Zhen let out a sigh of melancholy, shook her head slowly, got up and walked to the room.

Fengling and Miaomiao looked at her somewhat lonely back, hesitated to speak, but finally remained silent, and looked at each other with complicated eyes.

Four p.m.

A five-star hotel in Baodao.

Also in the living room of the suite, Su Yaqing, manager Lu Guilan, and assistant Xiao Ai stared at the TV without blinking.

On the TV screen, new song recommendations on the Golden Melody Chart are being played.

The previous six rounds were also reviewed first, and then the results of the seventh round were announced.

"Later, I finally learned how to love. It's a pity that you have long gone away and disappeared into the sea of ​​people. Later, I finally understood in tears that some people, once missed, will not be there."

Kong Yanyin's slightly sad and melancholy singing sounded.

The faces of the three of them suddenly became ugly.

The one who advanced to the seventh round was "Later".

The first title of Su Yaqing's album was eliminated.

"Crack!" The water cup held in Su Yaqing's hand fell weightlessly, landed on Su Yaqing's feet, bounced and rolled to the ground again.

The cup was not broken, but all the milk tea in the cup was spilled.

"Ah!" Feeling the hot temperature from the back of her feet, Su Yaqing exclaimed in pain.

"Yaqing, are you okay?" Lu Guilan and Xiaoai looked worried, Su Yaqing waved her hands to indicate that she was okay, but she became irritable.

"The wind and cloud list is cleared during the dog days, and now Kong Yanyin has cleared the golden song list. How could it be like this, how could it be like this."

Lu Guilan hastily comforted her: "Yaqing, don't worry, this week's two new song recommendation competitions are more intense than last week, tell me, you, Shu Zhen, four dog days, Kong Yanyin's album one or two hits even if there is a difference , that is also between brothers, not to mention, the recommendation of new songs on the two charts does not equal sales."

These words did not comfort Su Yaqing at all, she shook her head again and again: "It is not equal, but it is not much worse."

"Last week, Zhou Ziming was not as good as Jiang Hua in recommending new songs on the two charts, but last week's sales still surpassed Jiang Hua's. Don't worry, your album sales will definitely surpass those of Four Dog Days, Kong Yanyin."

"How can you rest assured that it's not just me, but also Shu Zhen. The two of us must win two seats in the top five middle schools. If one of them has an accident, what will happen to the bet?"

"Sister Su, I don't think there will be any accidents"

Xiao Ai made a cowardly voice, but was stared at by Su Yaqing: "What if, what if something happens, the bet will be dangerous, I can bet 1 million!"

As soon as these words came out, it was like a heavy stone pressed hard on Lu Guilan, Xiao Ai's heart, and Su Yaqing's heart at the same time. The three of them felt a tightness in their chests and a sense of suffocation.

Gunxue lost the bet, of which 1 million was to be borne by Su Yaqing.

If it’s like Shu Zhen’s 5 million, it’s okay to say that my personal savings are enough. Su Yaqing doesn’t have 1 million at all. Once she loses, she will owe the company several million. In 7 years, the money earned by individuals is about tens of millions.

Even if she can maintain her current popularity, she can never think about paying it off in a year or two. If her popularity drops, maybe the renewed 5-year contract period will be used to pay off the debt.

Just thinking about it gives me chills.

"Luodibei lied to me. If he hadn't patted his chest and guaranteed that the bet would win 100%, how could I bet 1 million." Su Yaqing took out her mobile phone from her pocket, turned on the communication rate to find a number, and dialed go out.

Lu Guilan wanted to stop it, but hesitated for a while, but she still didn't. She knew that the gains and losses related to tens of millions of dollars were no longer something she could talk about.

"Sorry, the number you dialed is out of service area, please try again later."

Soon, there was a voice prompt from the other end. Su Yaqing felt agitated when she heard it, and threw the phone on the ground with a slap. The screen of the phone shattered, and the battery and the main unit were separated in half.
Sunday, noon.

A passenger plane flying from the capital landed at Shenzhen Airport.

The music director of Rolling Snow Records, Ji Wenwu got off the plane, passed through the security check and left the airport, made a phone call, and then stopped a taxi.

After half an hour.

Ji Wenwu came to a teahouse in the urban area, asked the waiter, and then went to the door of a private room on the second floor.

After knocking on the door, Ji Wenwu got the promise inside, pushed the door open and entered.

There was a tea table by the window, Ning Lan and Li Xia got up and nodded to him, and they all called out: "Mr. Ji."

"Ning Lan, Li Xia, long time no see."

Ji Wenwu looked at Ning Lan, who hadn't seen her for many years and whose face hadn't changed, but felt that things were different, so he said hello, and then sat down opposite the two.

The tea was already ordered, Ji Wenwu didn't order another, took a cup of black tea from Li Xia, and took a sip.

Today's meeting was Li Xia contacted by Ji Wenwu. Although she didn't say anything on the phone, Li Xia knew that Ji Wenwu's trip to Shenzhen City was definitely not as simple as meeting old acquaintances, drinking tea and chatting.

After some pleasantries, the atmosphere became silent.

Ji Wenwu slowly put down his water glass, brewed for a while, and said slowly: "This week, there are two new song recommendations on the charts, the Four Dog Days Band, and Kong Yanyin's customs clearance. Maybe it will become clear."

After laying the groundwork, he looked up at Ning Lan, his expression and tone becoming more serious: "To be honest, I booked the air ticket yesterday afternoon after the recommendation results of the new songs on the Golden Melody Chart came out, and I came here before the sales report came out tomorrow. Yes I have one thing to ask for."
