China Entertainment: Starting from 07 Kuainan

Chapter 427: Out of the circle and new song MV

At the end of March, an online variety show with no superstars and no strong publicity (in the opinion of netizens) suddenly became popular.

"Young for you" released by the gala band in 04 has frequently appeared in the top ten of major music charts.

"Return" released by Longjing Rap in 07 also hit a large number of young people, especially students who are about to face their graduation season.

"I'm a good-looking person, but these words are too long-winded to be uttered.

So write it as a blessing song,

Take care of your health over there, and contact me if you have any questions.

Don't keep playing mysterious, be careful when you come back and I'll be in a hurry with you.

Don’t always feel sorry for yourself, just eat whatever you want..."

The plain and simple text depicts the brothers' parting deeply.

"Road Song", released by the band in 08, was also one of the first well-received programs.

The phrase 'keep driving south' was repeated eight times.

Very demonic, very brainwashing.

If a music variety show has one song that breaks out of the entertainment industry, it can be considered a success, and the first episode of "Looking for Light" had three songs that made a small appearance in the entertainment industry.

The potential for hot sales is undoubtedly revealed.

The happiest thing about "Xunguang" being released is Tengxun Video. Looking at the string of registration information, Liu Chunning, the head of the video business department, grinned almost to the corner of his mouth.

In just a few days, a variety show was able to bring in hundreds of thousands of real registered users, which is not a failure.

And this is just the first issue!

There are a total of twelve issues of "Looking for Light". How many registered users can it bring?

Canxing Culture is also one of the beneficiaries. This variety show is not only a test of online variety shows, but also one of Big Boss's most watched programs.

If the program is well run, that is an extremely important bonus!

With this program, he is likely to become the head of the 'Internet Variety Show' division.

Kugou Music also gained a lot.

The "Looking for Light" project is to find independent musicians, which is closely related to Kugou's future strategic development.

Independent musicians are one of the important sectors of Kugou’s future.

To be fair, what China lacks is not musicians or singer-songwriters, but a lack of exposure channels.

In the vanity fair of the entertainment industry, exposure is roughly equal to fame and fortune.

Previously, in the era of radio and television, channels were in the hands of television stations and record companies. If you wanted to enter the industry, you had to sign a contract of sale first.

Don't sign?

Then just float outside and become an independent musician.

In this environment, there is almost no soil for independent music to survive.

After all, making music also requires food.

If you can’t make money, you might as well go home and grow and sell sweet potatoes.

Lu Yuan spent money on "Xunguang", his original intention was not to make money, but just to leave some seeds for the Chinese music scene.

A man with sufficient food and clothing knows honor and disgrace.

Before pursuing your ideals, you must first eat enough.

Only when enough musicians have enough food can enough outstanding works be produced.

From the 1990s to the new millennium, even if piracy was rampant, musicians could still have enough to eat. Because the Chinese market has huge potential, even if you eat a little, you can still be full.

If you can eat well, you will have the motivation to create.

When releasing records becomes a loss-making business, how can the Chinese music scene survive?

Today, although the situation in the Chinese music scene has improved, there is only one point.

In February, Xu Song released his third album. More than a month later, the sales volume of this album was only a little over 25.

In March, Zhao Lei released his second album "Our Youth with Nowhere to Place". The current sales volume is only about 150,000.

The opposite of sales is popularity. The new albums of Xu Song and Zhao Lei are full of hot songs.

Zhao Lei's "Our Time" and "Drum Tower" are both popular. Xu Song's new album contains songs such as "Thousands of Baidu", "Audio Hallucination", "Half City of Smoke and Sand".

The road to protecting genuine products is long and arduous.

Fortunately, Lu Yuan received the news in advance that the 'strictest copyright order' was really coming.

This time it's not Tathagata.

But come for real!

Although the "strictest copyright order" cannot completely eliminate piracy, in a market as big as China, even if piracy is reduced by only 10%, a large number of people can have enough to eat.

Winter is here, can spring be far behind?

……

Miami.

After continuous high-intensity performances, Lu Yuan clearly noticed that his vocal cords had become tighter and not as loose as before.

no way.

It's all his own fault. The songs on the first English album are inspirational, and they can easily ignite the scene when sung, but they cost a lot of money, and they cost a serious voice.

After all, he was careless and inexperienced.

After this tour ends, he will definitely not do any more tours within two years, no, three years.

In just a few months, he lost ten pounds.

In the meantime, it was not only due to the tour, but also because of the little fairy Mina.

Come here to learn from me at every turn.

I was so exhausted on stage that I had to be pestered by a female seductress when I got back to the hotel.

This is not.

The Miami station is over and Mina is here again.

Fortunately, Mina is more sensible today and is fully automatic, so Boss Lu's physical exertion is greatly reduced.

After going back and forth several times, Lu Yuan got a taste of it.

This girl probably came with a mission.

Last time, this girl let it slip.

Unbeknownst to Lu Yuan, the two women reached a certain tacit understanding. No, Mina didn't have that brain.

She was taken in by Pears.

After firing once, Mina dismounted and leaned into Lu Yuan's arms.

This trip also made her very tired.

"Are you familiar with the script?"

Afterwards, Lu Yuan asked while stroking Mina's long hair.

"Ah."

Mina snorted feebly, with a bit of a gasp as she spoke.

The script the two discussed was neither "Zhu Xian" nor the upcoming "Now You See Me 2", but the MV for "The Life".

The MV of fourteen songs is exactly a 60-70 minute short film.

The clips of their youth will be shown by the two of them.

Yes.

Lu Yuan added another song to the album.

"Someone You Loved" is the pinnacle of Eagle Country singer-songwriter Lewis Capaldi's career.

In 2020, he was nominated for [Best Song of the Year] at the 62nd Grammy Awards and winner of [Best Eagle Country Song] at the Brit Awards.

The song topped the UK Singles Chart for seven consecutive weeks and topped the American Billboard Singles Chart for three consecutive weeks.

The theme of this song is mourning the loss of loved ones.

The plot of the first version of the MV is very touching.

Before the male protagonist's (elderly) wife passed away, she signed a body donation agreement. She donated her heart to a young mother, thus saving another person's life.

The male protagonist wears a pair of headphones every day, and what is played in the headphones is not music, but the sound of his heartbeat, the heartbeat of his wife.

Facing the departure of his wife, the male protagonist could not let go. He lived alone every day, occasionally visiting the young mother.

My wife's heart is still beating, living in the arms of that young mother.

Although his wife is dead, she is still alive.

The original MV was a relative of Lewis, played by Peter Capaldi (the male lead of the British TV series Doctor Who), who is a white man.

It is definitely inappropriate to use it on Lu Yuan now.

and so.

He plans to find domestic actors.

The first requirement for this role is that your acting skills must be good. Without acting skills, you will not be able to portray the feeling of relief and reluctance.

Secondly, you have to be handsome.

After picking and choosing, there are not many candidates left.

The only people who met the conditions were Chen Daomin, Tang Guoqiang (who was actually quite handsome when he was young), Zhang Guoli, Zhang Zhijian, and Chen Baoguo.

Do you still need to choose these people?

Of course, the Ming Dynasty weightlifting champion will be selected, and the Xiaoge Lao from two Beijing and thirteen provinces will be selected on his shoulders.
