Chapter 254: He's Coming, He's Coming, He's Coming With New Songs
Du Caige wrote songs for Jiang Youxi before, as well as songs for several other singers, at most, he only paid a little attention to sales and paid attention to his reputation among ordinary fans.
And I never paid attention to what other musicians had to say about these songs.
Because these songs brought in by him are all classics on the earth, and they have all passed the test of time, he doesn't care what other musicians say - if it's good, it's a matter of course, and if it's bad, you can't understand it.
And he cares about the sales because he will worry about whether these songs will be a little unsuitable in Azure Star.
Fortunately, so far, the songs he brought in have received a good response.
However, after Jiang Youxi released "East Wind Breaking" this time, he went against the norm and paid attention to the Weibo of many music critics, wanting to see what kind of attitude industry insiders have towards this song.
Because although Azure Star used to have the category of national style songs, it is different from the national style songs understood on the earth.
It's almost like the theme song of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms "Rolling Yangtze River East Passing Water, Waves Sweeping Away Heroes", but the quality is completely incomparable.
It feels like it's nondescript.
"East Wind Breaking" brings a completely different experience.
Just like Tang Yezhi said, "A window was opened in front of me", Du Caige found that many musicians expressed similar feelings.
Wang Yangbin, a famous musician, said: "I have tried to write Chinese style songs myself, and I have a lot of accumulation and thinking in this regard, but I have never been able to find a breakthrough direction. Hemingway's new work "East Wind Breaking" made me see a new possibility, which is not like a flash of inspiration from him, but a mature musical style summed up after a long period of search. The classical beauty of the national style is amazing. I want to sit down with him for a drink and have a chat when I get a chance. ”
Cai Ming, a handsome uncle who writes folk songs, also joked: "Recently, I want to explore in the direction of traditional folk music and classical music, looking for new elements, but I have not been able to find a way. Hemingway's "East Wind Breaking" made me suddenly brightened, and the new song will soon be available to everyone. ”
Liang Fusheng, the older generation of musicians and director of the Folk Music Department of Beijing University of Music, although he is not an Internet big V and does not have many fans, his energy in the music circle is amazing, and he is in the same coffee position as Du Caige's godfather Huo Yanying.
He said on Weibo: "I listened to a few tunes made by Xiao Du from a friend before, and I am very happy that the young man's exploration of folk music makes me very happy. And this "East Wind Breaking", although it can't meet all the expectations of national style music in my mind, it is conceivable that this kind of music form that combines national style and pop can attract more young people to pay attention to our traditional culture and our national music. Xiao Du is good, you are welcome to apply for my master's and doctor's degree. ”
As for who Xiao Du is, most netizens didn't know before, although Du Caige's real name was briefly exposed in the original monthly pass incident, but netizens' memories are very short.
However, when "Xiao Du" and "East Wind Break" are linked, everyone naturally understands that Xiao Du = Hemingway.
And under this Weibo, many musicians of the same generation left messages, such as Hu Bolin, who is certified as the director of the Folk Music Department of the Modu Conservatory of Music, who replied: "Xiao Du is from our Modu Conservatory of Music, you want to rob people, have you asked my opinion?"
It's not once or twice that the Modu Conservatory of Music and the Northern University of Music have been torn apart, and the people who eat melons like to see it.
At the same time, netizens got another piece of unpopular knowledge: it turned out that Hemingway had a background in the Magic Capital Conservatory.
Of course, it's normal to think about it.
Although not every musician comes from the two schools of Music and Modu Conservatory, it is undeniable that these two universities have been feeding the music industry for decades.
After observing the Weibo of a large number of musicians, Du Caige found that the music circle's evaluation of "Dongfeng Po" can no longer be described as good.
Instead, it almost blew into the sky.
Sometimes, though, there is a disconnect between the musician's evaluation and the actual sales of the song.
There is no shortage of works that are good for musicians but not bought by fans.
There are also many songs that musicians think are badly written, vulgar and tasteless, but fans like them like crazy.
But "East Wind Breaking" satisfies the aesthetics of musicians and the public's aesthetics at the same time.
It can also be seen in terms of sales.
In the first 24 hours, the sales of "East Wind Break" exceeded 220,000 copies on all platforms.
As a comparison, when "Fairy Tale" was first released, it sold more than 80,000 in 24 hours.
Of course, if it's just that sales are high, it doesn't mean anything. After all, there are many traffic stars, although the quality of their works is not very good, but the sales are always very high, and there are even junior high school students who steal adults' money to buy hundreds of thousands of copies.
The point is that the number of downloads of "East Wind Break" is also very high. The first day saw 140,000 downloads.
It is more than double that of "Fairy Tale".
Du Caige analyzed, the popularity of "East Wind Breaking" should be due to two reasons.
On the one hand, after the foreshadowing and brewing of "The First Time" and "Fairy Tale", Jiang Youxi is no longer a newcomer with no foundation.
Not only has there been a lot of fans, but also many people who like to listen to songs will start to pay attention to him.
When I find out that he has released a new song, I will go to try out the clip, and if I think it is good, I will buy it.
On the other hand, it is because the entire music industry is crazy because of "East Wind Breaks", so many critics, big Vs, and even many stars in the film and television industry and variety show circles have also turned into tap water.
There is a feeling that you will be out without talking about "East Wind Break".
is like the original "The Old Man and the Sea", whether you like it or not, but as a cultural person, if you don't say one, two, three, four, you will be looked down upon by people in the circle.
The combination of these two reasons made the first day of "Dongfeng Po" record an extremely high sales and downloads.
Of course, no record was broken.
The highest first-day sales of a paid song are 440,000 copies, set by a traffic star, and the record for the highest first-day downloads is held by Su Rui, the prince of love songs, who received 200,000 first-day downloads of a digital single last year.
But for these people, the sales and downloads of their singles are a steady downward curve.
It is highest on the first day and gradually decreases over the next day.
And the horror of "Dongfeng Po" is that with the fermentation of word-of-mouth, its sales and downloads are rising slightly.
At this rate, it is only a matter of time before records are broken.
And on the evening of the 23rd, the singer Peng Sizhang's Weibo updated a dynamic.
"Thank you Hemingway for writing me a great new song, 'If It's Not Love' will be available to you in three days. Produced by Hemingway, it must be a high-quality product. When a song written by Hemingway is placed in front of you and asked you to buy it, you just have to pay for it, and you will never regret it. ”
Although he didn't call his father very openly as he promised before, it was obvious that he had relented and admitted defeat, and Du Caige didn't force it.
He can't admit defeat if he doesn't admit defeat, after the first 24 hours, the sales of "Rock and Roll Love" are only more than 90,000 points, and the number of downloads is more than 60,000, which is slightly better than "Fairy Tale", which can be regarded as "passable" data, after all, he has not had any new works in the past two years, and he has been eating the old book, and it is normal for fans to wait and see.
But the next day, sales of "East Wind Break" were still strong, and "Rock and Roll Love" looked weak.
Especially the evaluation on the Internet, fans' evaluation of "Rock and Roll Love" is "It's okay", "You can still listen to it", "So-so", "It's still that taste, it's still Peng Sizhang".
But compared with "East Wind Break", it is really not a grade.
Netizens have already expressed their praise for "Dongfeng Break".
I can't wait to use all the praise words to describe "East Wind Breaking".
"After listening to "East Wind Breaking", I suddenly thought, Mom, what kind of national style songs did I listen to before?"
"I don't usually listen to songs. Today, my roommate was listening to a song with headphones on, and suddenly his eyes turned red. I asked him what was going on and he just put the headphones on for me. Then my eyes were red too. Actually, it's not that the song is very sad, it's just a melancholy feeling. I don't know the style of music or anything, but I think those notes have entered my heart, and the singer's voice is also very clean and comfortable to listen to. ”
"I have to blow a song today. That's right, I'm talking about "The East Wind Breaks"! Don't ask me why I blow, you will know after listening to it. It's definitely not my loss that you don't listen, it's your own. ”
"In the past two years, without Lin Ke's music scene, what kind of garbage has appeared. But fortunately, Lin Ke is back again, although he has changed his vest, but he is here, he is here, he is here with a new song! "East Wind Breaking" is definitely the first of the top ten golden songs this year. ”
"I really don't recommend you to listen to "East Wind Breaking", because sooner or later, you will walk down the street and hear the music coming from the shop, and you will be touched somewhere in your heart, and then you will pretend to go shopping, pretend to ask the clerk casually: What is the name of this song? And then you will buy this song, and the single will be looped a hundred times, a hundred times. ”
It is said that a certain singer surnamed Peng chose to sing on the same day as "East Wind Breaking", and planned to touch it. May I ask the singer surnamed Peng, is your face swollen?"
In the face of such a situation, as long as Peng Sizhang is not faceless and skinless, he will definitely admit defeat.
Peng Sizhang probably felt embarrassed too, and sent a text message to Fan Yuhong's mobile phone: "Tell my brother, I lost this time, and I want to bet with him next time I have a chance." ”
Du Caige didn't tell him the new mobile phone number.
Let's talk about it if I have a chance to meet him in the future, at least with Peng Sizhang's current state and the character weaknesses he shows, Du Caige is too lazy to deal with him.
If he can deeply reflect and find his original intention, then cooperation is not impossible.
After all, he is small, although Du Caige doesn't remember him, but judging from the last conversation, there may not be a friendship left in his heart.
