Get off work and become the Godfather of Rock and Roll

Chapter 121

"From today on, you are Li Ji, and Chi Xiang has nothing to do with you. You have a new life. As long as you do what I say, your future will be unimaginably bright."

Yu Xianchao's long hair was fluttering, like a Guanyin Bodhisattva holding a tight mantra. He told the Supreme Treasure that after putting it on, he would never look back.

Chi Xiang, no, Li Ji's heart surged, "I understand."

"From now on, everything you say and do must conform to your personality, and every move you make must do your best to imitate a non-existent but real rock star."

Li Ji continued to nod, "Understood!"

Yu Xianchao pressed the landline phone in the office.

Suddenly, several people walked into the office, including men and women, carrying makeup boxes and various professional equipment. The whole room seemed to be illuminated by an invisible spotlight, surrounding Li Ji.

Just an hour ago, he was taking a nap in the reception area on the first floor.

Just a day ago, he was working as a busboy at a barbecue restaurant.

Just a month ago, he was kicked away by his girlfriend.

Then, fate changed dramatically.

It's like winning the lottery, this feeling is so fascinating.

……

Mai Zishan’s new album continues to ferment.

The long tail effect begins to show its power.

On the university campus, Mai Zishan's songs will be used as background music at student gatherings.

Walking on the streets of the city, shops that play music outside play Mai Zishan.

Late at night, many people are unable to extricate themselves from listening to it and find it difficult to fall asleep.

On the national highway to Lhasa, Li Qing let go of his handlebars and rode his bicycle like a soaring bird.

Behind him is his partner, and in front of him is a green and blue asphalt road, as well as an extremely refreshing scenery that is difficult to describe in words.

"Blue Lotus~"

Everyone was singing and moving forward.

Rock music has entered Zhang Tianhai's class. He really only has more than a month before retirement. At the last moment, he is bound to let his students see the potential of this track.

It is worth mentioning that Yu Qing has also begun teaching about rock music.

Zhang Tianhai also pretended to pass by and take a look.

There are still many students under Yu Qingtai.

He didn't seem to notice Zhang Tianhai's arrival and just concentrated on talking.

"As we all know, after the Beatles, this genre has never had a leader. It took a lot of effort to create a queen, but the lead singer contracted HIV and died in less than two years. They were a lost generation. They had great potential, but it was just a matter of time. Not as expected.”

"Our country is even more lacking in soil. In addition, Internet companies are too successful and various short video applications are emerging one after another. Their excitement threshold to train the audience's taste is too high. Therefore, rock music is in an embarrassing position both at home and abroad. It’s like kimchi, it’s okay to eat occasionally, but it can’t be the main dish.”

"Well, things are a little different now. First of all, it's Mai Zishan. His rock music is indeed different. It seems to be the first time that this small genre has been put on the big stage."

He was going to continue talking, but he accidentally glanced at Zhang Tianhai, who looked like his head teacher who had been haunting the window when he was a student.

He was suddenly speechless.

Zhang Tianhai left without intending to say hello.

Yu Qing stood on the podium in a daze.

Zhang Tianhai walked over with a helpless smile on his face.

……

The sales of ordinary albums in the second week are basically very few, but Mai Zishan's rock album is still maintaining sales of nearly 100,000 per day. So far, the total sales have climbed to 10 million.

This is a true Hall of Fame sales volume, a dream for countless singers.

Relying on copyright to make a living gives you the most confidence.

At the same time, in addition to Baichun, other major entertainment companies have also begun to exert their efforts.

In addition to allowing its artists to start creating rock music, they also hope to gain advantages in multiple channels.

"Partners" is a movie that has attracted a lot of attention this year. The theme song was won by Mai Zishan, but there are many other movies.

There are many directors who also want the theme songs to adopt different styles and put forward diversified demands.

To the relief of his peers, Mai Zishan seems to have no new songs.

They were originally worried that they would face pressure from Mai Zishan again, but he stopped moving.

According to inquiries from insiders and industry reporters, Mai Zishan is busy attending the music festival.

After learning the news, colleagues were all chuckling.

Generally speaking, when a singer starts to be busy doing music festivals and concerts.

It means that the singer is out of stock, and his best works have already been sold out.

Already done~
Come to think of it, Mai Zishan has been releasing new songs this year, and two more have been booked by Chen Kexin.

Generally speaking, after booking a theme song, the director hopes to premiere it together with the movie. Mai Zishan will not be able to sing those two songs for a while.

"Rock and Roll on the New Long March" and "The Story of Time", judging by their names, each one is more powerful than the other.

But except Chen Kexin, no one has heard of it. It is estimated that it is because it fits well with the theme of the movie. As for the quality, it is another matter.

And without new things, it’s time to make bad money.

How to get it?
Hold music festivals and concerts to earn him a lot of money.

Too many singers are like this. They don't have new songs, so they can sing old songs and hold concerts, and their lives are still nourishing.

The worst thing is that those singers who cannot reach the concert level can only make ends meet by relying on variety shows as green leaves.

In short, Mai Zishan went to hold a music festival, and his colleagues breathed a sigh of relief.

But there are also many people who find it difficult to relax, such as Guan Le, who has been struggling to open the mainland market.

Mai Zishan refused to participate in the online Spring Festival Gala, and now she has been refused to join.

It’s really frustrating. He is the best in Hong Kong!
If there wasn't more money in the mainland, why would he go out of his comfort zone?

I thought it would be easy and simple, but I kept hitting walls.

Among them, this Maizishan is also included twice.

How uncomfortable it is.

Ai Xian, he has also been very annoyed recently. He is hesitating whether to join Mai Zishan's music festival.

The agent wanted both him and Zhang Zifeng to go, but Ai Xian's first reaction was to refuse.

And now I’m starting to regret it, it’s not necessary, why not go? He has a large fan base, and Mai Zishan will definitely not refuse.

Last week, I met a female fan. Even ten bodyguards didn't stop her from rushing up to touch him and shouting, "I want to marry you."

This feeling is both happy and disgusting.

And his album sales have stabilized at seven to eight million, which are very good results.

If you go to Mai Zishan's music festival, both parties can exchange a wave of fans, a win-win situation.

He was still thinking, and finally decided to go for it!

Ai Xian is going to contact her agent, Brother Chen Xinchen.

When the call was answered, Chen Xin knew what he was going to say without him having to speak.

Chen Xin: "Have you figured it out? You've decided to join, right?"

"Yes, I'd better join, there are benefits."

Chen Xin said slowly: "Let's forget it."

Ai Xian: "???"

"Zhang Zifeng has already been rejected."

"Rejecting Zhang Zifeng does not mean rejecting me."

Chen Xin didn't speak for a while, then said: "Forget it, I contacted everyone in the industry. More than a dozen singers wanted to participate, but they all refused. Only Rong Shasha was accepted as the festival's resident singer."

Rong Shasha? Known as the little queen, Ai Xian knows that there is no way to compare with her now.

What makes Rong Shasha awesome is not the album sales, but that she is a character who can take both academics and pops.

The so-called "academia and pop" take all, which means that he has won various Golden Melody Awards, and at the same time, he is also loved by the public.

For things like the Golden Melody Awards, old artists, critics, and academics are there to give the evaluation, and the public is not allowed to participate in the evaluation.

There are too many singers with countless sales, but they can’t get even a cent from awards.

Just like in the film industry, movies with high box office often fail to win such high-gold awards as the Palme d'Or and the Silver Bear.

If it can win awards and be a hit at the box office at the same time, that's a classic.

Rong Shasha is such a character. Her songs are very popular with awards and are also loved by the public.

As for Ai Xian, including all the singers he knew, even if they wanted to be nominated, let alone awards, there was no chance.

Good guy, is this Mai Zishan so tricky?
Only accept the hottest one? In other words, only beautiful sisters are accepted?

What the hell.

Ai Xian was furious, "Forget it."

"Well, you should think about the new song carefully. Now I highly recommend you to try out rock music and learn it. I can ask some university professors to teach you. In the current market, if you add rock attributes, your sales will directly increase by 100%. Thirty, dual attributes are very popular."

Ai Xian rubbed his forehead in distress, "I understand."

……

Yanshi is one of many coastal cities.

The geographical location of Yanshi is relatively superior, located between the south and the north.

At the same time, it is still a city close to the sea.

At this moment, Mai Zishan, Wang Ye, Chen Kun, and Lu He were standing on the beach.

I looked at the hermit crab at my feet, thinking that no one had seen me, moving little by little.

The salty sea breeze blows in your face, and the sound of waves comes and goes.

"This is perfect," Mai Zishan said.
