This star is wrong

Chapter 303 Insider news, Tian Wang's new album

Donghai New Style Music Festival.

This is a music festival jointly organized by many domestic record companies and entertainment companies. At this time of year, many big names in the circle will be invited to help out.

The purpose of this music festival is to explore avant-garde music. Every year, many bands and independent musicians gather in Dongbin Sea Park to exchange music.

The organizer has a wide network of contacts and will invite many stars to help each time.

Fang Xing also received an invitation letter, but he has been very busy recently and is catching up with the progress of his new album.

However, as an old musician of Songshi Records, Liang Yusong participated in this music festival on behalf of the company.

In addition to Songshi Records, the most famous record companies in China have received invitations.

Puxiang Records and Mine Records are naturally among them.

Although there is competition between Songshi, Puxiang and Mailin, the music circle is actually that big.

Liang Yusong knows many musicians from record companies, and he can chat politely when they meet.

……

In addition to musicians, the festival also attracts many entertainment journalists.

Such star-gathering activities often break news.

Therefore, many entertainment reporters gathered around the venue, waiting to interview the big names who participated in the music festival.

Every time, as soon as a celebrity comes out of the venue after participating in an event, a large group of reporters will surround him, attacking the celebrity's face with long guns and short bullets, and start asking about lace news.

During the interview, once a bigger star came out, the reporter would immediately scatter to surround the big star.

The Catfish Band is a new band that has participated in some band shows. Although they haven't won a high ranking, they still have a little popularity.

The members of the catfish band were happily being interviewed by reporters.

At this moment.

A musician wearing sunglasses and escorted by a management team came out of the venue.

When the entertainment reporter found this musician, someone immediately shouted: "It's Xu Shangyan! Hurry up, hurry up...it's Xu Shangyan!"

The surrounding reporters shifted their targets in an instant, left the Catfish Band in place, and all went to surround Xu Shangyan.

The lead singer of the Catfish Band was answering the reporter's question, but only halfway through the answer, all the reporters in front of him ran away in the blink of an eye, causing his answer to stop abruptly. The scene was once very embarrassing, but fortunately no one paid attention to them.

Because everyone is paying attention to Xu Shangyan.

Who is Xu Shangyan?

The head producer of Mailin Records, the producer of the new generation of music king Tan Zhiguan.

It can be said that Tan Zhiguan was created by Xu Shangyan and Mailin Records.

Xu Shangyan is a music giant with equal strength and fame.

An [-]-line band like the Catfish Band is not comparable to Xu Shangyan at all.

Therefore, the entertainment reporter was very realistic. As soon as they saw Xu Shangyan, they immediately let the Catfish Band go.

The Catfish felt a little embarrassed, but they dared not complain about it.

Because they knew very well that they were not at the same level as Xu Shangyan.

If it weren't for the fact that there were too many reporters surrounding Xu Shangyan, the Catfish Band would have wanted to go up to say hello and ask for autographs.

……

"Teacher Xu, Teacher Xu...can I ask you a few questions?"

More than a dozen microphones came in front of Xu Shangyan, directly blocking his way.

In this kind of public occasion, as a public figure, even if you are very impatient, you can't show it.

Xu Shangyan maintained a good attitude, smiling and waving hello to the reporter.

The assistant next to him said loudly: "Friends from the media, Mr. Xu has something to do today, so we only have 10 minutes, so we have selective questions and come one by one."

The reporter heard that there was only 10 minutes, so he squeezed forward more and more fiercely, trying to put the microphone in front of Xu Shangyan.

Because there are logos of various media on the microphone, if you put the microphone in front of Xu Shangyan, there will be performance.

Moreover, today's journalists are extraordinarily crazy.

Because recently, Mineline Records has made a big move, a big move that happens once in five years.

The reporter who squeezed in the front was the first to ask a question: "Mr. Xu, last month Mailin Records posted a photo, which was rumored to be the MV promotional photo of Tian Wang.

"Is Mailin Records going to release a new album for Tian Wang? I remember that in an interview last year, you said that you are preparing a new album. It has been a year, has the new album come out?"

When Xu Shangyan heard this question, he was not surprised, and replied calmly: "Everyone will wait and see."

After Tan Zhiguan swept the three major Golden Melody Awards five years ago and became the music king in one fell swoop, he hasn't released a new album for five years.

In fact, this situation is very common in the music world.

After a singer becomes famous, he will slow down the speed of releasing new albums.

Especially singers at the level of kings and queens, for them, they would rather not release a new album than release an album that does not sell well.

After all, at the level of Tian Wang and Tian Hou, they have already accumulated many albums, and there will be endless songs to sing at the concert. Even if they do not release a new album, it will not affect their stardom.

However, once a new album is released, if the sales of the new album hit the street, it will affect the popularity.

Tan Zhiguan is not immune either. After sweeping the three Golden Melody Awards five years ago, he has only sung two film and television theme songs and has not released a new album for five years.

Although Tan Zhiguan is over forty years old, he is actually considered young among the heavenly kings.

Still in his prime, many fans are waiting for his new album.

Since last year, when Xu Shangyan and Tan Zhiguan were interviewed by reporters, they mentioned that they were preparing for a new album.

For a famous singer, the time to prepare an album is uncertain, it can take a year, two years, or even a few years.

Because the songs need to be carefully selected, I would rather slow down and ensure the quality of the songs.

Therefore, since last year, news of Tan Zhiguan's new album has spread from time to time on the Internet, but it is difficult to tell whether it is true or not.

Until last month, Mailin Records' official Weibo posted a photo that looked like a still from the MV.

This is equivalent to officially announcing that Tan Zhiguan's new album is coming.

At that time, this MV still photo was also on the hot search.

Since last month, every time Xu Shangyan is blocked by reporters, he has to answer questions about the new album.

He has already become accustomed to coping with it, and the answer is always: "We will wait and see."

It was not easy to block Xu Shangyan.

These entertainment reporters naturally refused to let it go, and continued to ask: "Tan Tianwang hasn't released a new album for five years. Is it because he is worried that the new album will be overturned and that the sales will not affect his popularity?"

Xu Shangyan looked at the reporter and asked with a chuckle, "Have I ever overturned my car?"

A reporter who was stirring the news next to him felt that the reporter who asked the question was not sharp at all, so he squeezed forward and asked, "Mr. project losses.

"For Mai Lin Records and to make up for the loss of Pengcheng Capital, Tan Tianwang has to release a new album to make money, is that right?"

When Xu Shangyan heard this question, his expression froze for a moment, but he soon returned to smiling, and replied, "I don't know where such a ridiculous rumor came from."

The reporter of Jidang News continued to ask: "We have a reliable news channel, and the news comes from the financial industry. Please answer positively. Is it to make money and use the fame of the king of heaven to make money?"

"Nonsense! Regarding Zhiguan's new album, we have been preparing for it since last year and have been preparing for more than a year." Xu Shangyan immediately snapped.

The reporter who stirred up the news asked more and more sharply, and the reporter next to him offered his seat.

Because it doesn't matter who asks the question, as long as you can ask the breaking news and take a video of the interview, then you can make the headlines.

The surrounding reporters stepped aside a bit, and the reporter who was stirring the news stood in front of Xu Shangyan and continued to ask questions: "Mr. Xu, the news I got is not like this.

"I heard that you are not satisfied with the songs of Tianwang's new album. The original plan was to continue to prepare for more than half a year, but the holding company of Mailin Records has been losing money continuously and urgently needs to replenish blood.

"Maglin Records couldn't bear the pressure from the holding company, so we had to advance the album release plan in advance, is that right?"

Xu Shangyan said righteously: "I don't know where you heard the rumors, Zhiguan's new album is produced by me, every song is carefully selected, full of sincerity, there is no such thing as planning in advance .”

A smile appeared on the corner of the reporter's mouth, and he continued to ask: "I also received news that you and Tan Tianwang had a quarrel in the recording studio because the plan for the new album was advanced, is that true?"

Xu Shangyan immediately denied: "I don't know what you mean by quarrel. Zhiguan and I are both musicians who have high requirements for music. It is normal to have occasional arguments in music. This just represents our approach to work. Attitude, serious and rigorous."

The reporter who stirred up the news changed the subject and said, "In other words, Tian Wang's new album is indeed coming soon, right? When will it be released? Is it the end of this month? Or the beginning of next month?"

Xu Shangyan frowned, realizing that this reporter had gotten in.

Although he has been denying the "rumors" mentioned by the reporter, this is equivalent to indirectly admitting that King Mai Lin is going to release a new album.

Xu Shangyan took a breath, calmed down, and replied in a very official tone: "We will announce it when the time is right. My time is almost up. If there are no other questions..."

He was already a little impatient, so he didn't want to continue answering reporters' questions.

However, the reporter who stirred up the news did not let him go, and continued to ask: "Two days ago, there was news on the Internet that Fang Xing was going to release a new album. Then Fang Xing and King Mai Lin will collide when releasing their albums. up?"

When Xu Shangyan heard this question, his eyes froze.

In fact, this is not the first time he has heard that Fang Xing is going to release an album.

three days ago.

The news that Fang Xing was about to release a new album just spread on the Internet, and an employee of the company told him the news the next day.

However, there was very little news about Fang Xing's new album. There was only an unknown Weibo account that posted two updates, which were not news from Songshi Records or Ark Culture at all.

Therefore, there is no accurate news about Fang Xing's new album.

usually.

According to the habits of major record companies, singers above the first line usually consciously stagger their release dates.

After all, singers above the top line all want to hit the hit song charts when they release songs.

If two first-line singers release songs together, the one who is being compared will be very embarrassed.

Of course, there are also some record companies that are originally rivals who will choose to confront them head-on.

For passers-by, in fact, they want to see singers release songs together and compete for the charts together, which is more interesting.

Famous singers above the first line don't think so, no one wants to be a stepping stone, so in most cases, the release date of the song will be staggered.

It is also for this reason that the top five record companies have basically formed a song release rule, which is fixed in a certain month of the year.

Release songs at this time every year, and don't squeeze other people's song release schedules.

After forming a fixed law, there will be a tacit understanding between record companies.

Which company's first-line singer releases a song this month, everyone divides the time well, without affecting each other.

Mai Lin Records usually release songs at the end of July, and now the time is getting closer, so many people speculate that the new album of Mai Lin Tianwang Tan Zhiguan may be coming.

……

The reporter who stirred up the news continued to ask: "If Fang Xing also wants to release a song in July, will it coincide with the time of Mai Lin Tianwang's new album? The competition between Mai Lin and Songshi in the past two years has been very fierce, and you will fight head-on Do you still choose to stagger the timing of song development? Avoid Fang Xing's edge?"

Xu Shangyan replied blankly: "I don't know about other singers' releases. We, Mai Lin, have our own work plan, and we will proceed according to the plan."

"If Fang Xing also chooses to release a new album in July, and the schedule hits, Mai Lin will not back down, is that true? But the King of Mai Lin has already lost to Fang Xing in a certain music variety show, and this time it has not been announced yet. The song release time, will you change the time to avoid Fang Xing?" The reporter who stirred up the news asked more and more venomously.

"Please pay attention to the news on Mailin's official Weibo, thank you all." Xu Shangyan didn't want to continue, and gestured to the assistant next to him with his eyes.

The assistant immediately stepped forward and separated the crowd: "Everyone, give way. Teacher Xu is in a hurry. He said just now that he only has 10 minutes. Now it's overtime. Please give way. Thank you for your cooperation."

Xu Shangyan was escorted out of the crowd by his assistant, and walked quickly to the nanny's car.

The entertainment reporter behind him refused to give up, chasing after him and continued to ask:

"Mr. Xu, are you confident that you can beat Fang Xing on the new album?"

"Maglin Records is affected by Pengcheng Capital, will it cause the quality of Tianwang's new album to decline?"

"Ms. Xu, how many songs are there in Tian Wang's new album? What types of songs are they? Can you tell us about it?"

"The contract between Uranus and Mai Lin will expire next year. If there is an unhappiness about the new album, will it affect Uranus and Mai Lin's contract renewal?"

"Mr. Xu, the news about Fang Xing's new album mentioned that there will be Chinese-style songs. Will Tianwang Mailin try Chinese-style songs?"

"Ms. Xu, the new female singer from Mailin Records has not been recognized by fans for her Chinese style songs. Does this mean that Mailin Records lacks experience in this new type of Chinese style?"

The reporter's questions were all so tricky.

Xu Shangyan didn't answer any more questions, got into the nanny's car, and asked the driver to drive away.

He can't remember how many years it has been since he was left speechless by reporters' questions.

In the past, when Tan Zhiguan became the new king of the music scene, he also became the most popular music producer in China.

At that time, interviews by reporters were all about flattery, and few reporters dared to ask such tricky questions.

But since last year's damn music variety show, the attitude of these entertainment reporters has begun to change, and the questions they ask have become more and more difficult to answer.
