Chapter 106: Sorrow for the musicians of this era
Jiang Youxi's smile can fascinate thousands of girls: "I know, Sister Mingming." Such a great opportunity, of course, I will cherish it. ”
"I've already negotiated it with the company," Cheng Mingming said, "and when your song is recorded, I'll start promoting it immediately." ”
Hearing this, Jiang Youxi was a little uneasy, he twisted, and asked hesitantly: "Sister Mingming, is this really good?" Give up the album and release 5 digital singles in a row. I'm not a well-known singer, so wouldn't that be too risky? What if no one buys it?"
Cheng Mingming smiled confidently: "You can do your part with peace of mind, and I will do my part." Singing and acting, I am not as good as you, and you are not as good as me about how to become a popular artist. ”
Jiang Youxi knows that Sister Ming Ming is a very capable woman.
Several of the first-line and second-tier artists of Huayu Entertainment were brought out by Sister Mingming.
Sister Ming Ming is a delicate person with good means, the group he was in was disbanded, and his own reputation has not yet started, so he can be said to be the most marginal and lowest little person in the entertainment industry.
And with the support of Sister Mingming, she constantly gave him film and television resources, so that he is finally famous now, and I don't know how many big levels he has crossed.
He personally realized how strong Sister Mingming's ability was, and of course he didn't dare to question it.
However, in the field of music, he can only be regarded as a new tender, although due to the company's publicity, as well as Du Caige's Weibo advertisement, his new song has received a certain amount of attention.
But adopting the mode of releasing digital singles, he felt that it was still a little too risky.
Now those who dare to release digital singles are all singers with a certain coffee position. And ordinary singers send singles, who birds you?
Download a song for a few bucks. It's not much, but why give it to you, and not to those well-known singers?
However, Sister Ming Ming had also calculated an account with him before.
If you want to release an album, you first have to buy 4-6 songs to make up the weight of an album, and secondly, you have to make CDs and sell them through the company's channels, which all come at a cost.
And if a digital single is released, the cost of both aspects can be saved, and it can be used for initial promotion and charting.
Wait for this "first time" to be popular all over the country (they don't doubt it), almost mid-to-late May, and then strike while the iron is hot and release two singles.
The last two singles are expected to be released again at the end of June and early July.
The plan is very good, but whether it can be implemented depends on strength and luck.
Jiang Youxi feels that his luck is okay, and the luck of a boy who loves to laugh will not be bad.
As for strength...... Lin Ke made a move, what else is there to say?
Since Lin Ke's debut, if the songs he writes only enter the top 20 of the hot song list, it is a failure, and if he enters the top 10, he is barely qualified, and the top 3 are monopolized by him all year round.
Kiss goodbye, sailor, sea, single love song, love like a tide, glorious years, thousands of songs, the edge of love and pain, red beans, when love is a thing of the past......
Which one has never caused a sensation?
Which song is not sung from north to south?
An agency once did a very interesting statistic.
The organization selected the magic capital, the capital, and five second-tier cities, and traveled all over the streets and alleys, specifically recording the music played in large shopping malls, small shops, audio-visual product stores, barber shops, small bookstores, wedding occasions, celebrations and other places, as well as the singing of resident singers in various bars and cafes, the singing of wandering singers under overpasses and squares, and the frequency of karaoke songs.
Finally, according to statistics, in these cities, hundreds of thousands of songs were played and sung on various occasions in 10 days, of which 41.6% of the songs were written by Lin Ke.
In other words, in the pop music scene in recent years, Lin Ke has almost monopolized half of the country.
When the statistics were announced, the whole music industry was in an uproar, but at the same time, the musicians took it for granted.
There is no doubt that although Lin Ke has not debuted for a long time, he has ruled an era.
Jiang Youxi also came from that era.
At that time, he went out on a trip.
In the small supermarket at the entrance of the community, the proprietress in pajamas was listening attentively to the "Nine Hundred and Ninety-Nine Roses" written by Lin Ke and sung by Su Rui.
Passing by the barber shop, the big stereo of the barber shop came out of the "old love song" written by Lin Ke and sung by Zhang Zhuowei.
After a sloppy middle-aged man riding a motorcycle and selling car CDs, the other party's big speaker tied to the tailgate of the motorcycle played "Listening to the Sea" written by Lin Ke and sung by Duan Xiaochen.
On the booth in front of the "Jumping Price Selling Leather Shoes", there was "Sword Like a Dream" written by Lin Ke and sung by Peng Sizhang to attract customers.
Walking into the mall, the mall stereo played Lin Ke's lyrics and songs, and Su Manqian's "one-man show" was played.
After walking around, tired, find a cold drink shop to eat some smoothies to relax, and the cashier aunt at the front desk hummed the "woman flower" written by Lin Ke and sung by Li Lingyu......
All in all, it was an era when Lin Ke was everywhere.
In Dahuaguo, from seventy-year-old men and grandmothers to third-grade elementary school students, even middle-aged men and women who never care about idol stars and are bent over by the pressure of life, at least they know one or more of the five names Su Manqian, Duan Xiaochen, Peng Sizhang, Su Rui, and Zhang Zhuowei.
Although, to ordinary people, who is Lin Ke? No one cares.
But everyone in the music industry knows it.
The bad guy who single-handedly became popular with 5 singers and queens, won the Golden Melody Award and got a soft hand, arrogant, willful, rude, short-tempered, more diligent than changing clothes for girlfriends, and also likes to take artistic photos and small videos, is the greatest musician in the past 30 years, there is no one.
Thinking of this, Jiang Youxi trembled slightly with excitement.
This great musician agreed to work with him.
If there is such an opportunity, you can't soar into the sky, it means that you don't have this qualification, and it is better to go home and farm.
Jiang Youxi clenched his fists hard.
By all means, we must sing these songs well!
......
Huayu Entertainment. Listening room.
Tang Yezhi took off his headphones, poured out two xylitol and stuffed them into his mouth, frowned and chewed for a long time.
"Isn't it, such a good song, are you still not satisfied?" Xie Shengping, the head of the music department, touched his bare forehead and said with a smile.
"It's not. Tang Yezhi shook his head.
"Then what do you mean by that expression? Do you think Xiao Jiang can't sing well?"
Tang Yezhi sighed: "That's not what I mean. I just think that Lin Ke guy has improved again, he is still so able to grasp the context of the times, and his music is always at the forefront of popularity. And in the past, his arrangement was a weakness, but now, that dog's day has made up for this weakness. ”
Xie Shengping smiled: "Then why are you sighing?"
"I'm just grieving for the musicians of this whole era, including me. We never have a chance to be number one, we can only compete for the second place. ”
