Chapter 607: Final Preparations (2-in-1)
With Xie Xin's name resounding in the European and American music circles with a song "Love The Way You Lie", not only fans, but also more professional singers have also put their eyes on the recent singles list with great interest.
For a long time, the radiation area of Chinese songs has been in Asia, and English songs are a mixture of Europe and the United States.
At the same time, in addition to being fresh, because the hip-hop diss link makes people feel that they are not good.
Music knows no borders, and singers have borders.
East Coast hip-hop singer Smith was angered by Gan Jing's simple words and fought back, and Xie Xin's reluctance to be interviewed and hiding in a playful style band like [WTF] is a bad one in the eyes of local singers in the United States.
It's just that, firstly, the quality of "Love The Way You Lie" is really high, and secondly, the hip-hop singers who can do things the most will not sit idly by, they will definitely rush to the front.
And, while others aren't sure when to rush, Smith has already threatened to release a song on Thursday, so ...... Look again.
On Thursday, June 2nd, the release plan of "The Wolf of Wall Street" has exceeded expectations, and the crew members have not let go of their attention with the completion of the film, even if there are American members who have transferred to join the new crew, they frequently refresh their mobile phones to wait for the action of the unserious boss, they vaguely get the grapevine, this music battle is a way to promote the movie.
It is...... The impact of this approach is a bit unexpected.
At twelve o'clock in the afternoon, Smith, the representative singer of East Coast hip-hop, or, according to Oriental customs, can be called the king of East Coast hip-hop, uploaded a new song "No.1".
Prior to Thursday, Smith had given multiple interviews, acknowledging both the quality of Love The Way You Lie and the shortcomings of his opponents, while also facing authoritative media outlets, he also said that this was not a regular DISS session.
Whether it's "Turn Down For What" with "WTF's" more electronic dance music or "Love The Way You Lie" from the beginning, it's going to be a serious musical exchange.
"I think everyone in the [WTF] band deserves attention, whether it's Gan Jing's talent, Xie Xin's voice, or Liang's instrument, it's all excellent, but I'm going to prove who is the king of hip-hop on the East Coast. β
"I'm here, and the East Coast is there. β
"Oh, yes, there's a Mr. Ma Hammer in the band, and I've heard he's a very famous gang figure in the Chinese country, which is very hip-hop. β
Smith's recent interview before the upload of the new song made Gan Jing, who was ready to give the other party respect on time, very stunned, and other declaration of war language is forgotten, the "very hip-hop" "gang character" Mr. Ma Hammer?
Gan Jing wondered: "Old Ma, you still have a gang background? Even Smith in New York knows about it? Are you the kind of black-and-white tycoon?"
Ma Hammer was stunned, he was watching the news interview with Gan Jing, compared to Gan Jing, who was immersed in film affairs from time to time, the most combative person in his entire band for this music chart, was extremely surprised to hear the unexpected news at this time.
"The old man's background was actually discovered by a foreigner?"
Xie Xin on the sofa couldn't help but glance blankly when she heard this, she knew Teacher Ma's situation best, what gang background, I don't know if that Smith misbelieved any rumors.
"Hurry up and send it, let Smith see the music production ability of the gang Mr. Ma. The queen of heaven urged.
Gan Jing shrugged, changed the computer page, and pressed the upload button.
Just 5 minutes later than Smith's appointment to see the new song on Thursday, the response song appeared.
γLose Yourselfγγ
This song was recorded by Russell, but the recording did not work as well as he expected, and even after the sound was revised, Russell's big smoke voice still didn't fit into the song.
Therefore, like Xie Xin's plan to put the voice at the beginning, after actual operation, it was strongly opposed by the other three members of the band, and in the end, Russell, who once became famous at a young age and is now a box office cancer, was placed at the back of the complete song as an "easter egg".
Although Russell's voice is not good, it is difficult to match with Gan Jing to perform the song perfectly, but the true feeling when he sings by himself is quite in place, and it is actually quite infectious without the standards of professional singers.
At twelve o'clock in the afternoon, Smith released the new song "No.1".
At 12:05 p.m., [WTF] released a new song "Lose Yourself".
At 12:10 p.m., both sides listened to each other's works.
In [WTF], Xie Xin gave an evaluation to the other three members after savoring "No.1": "It's stable. β
Smith listened to "Lose Yourself" in a studio alone, he sat in a chair and was silent, this is a song that is very much in line with his taste, this is a song that can definitely be HOT 100 according to his own vision.
As it turned out, Smith, the king of hip-hop on the East Coast, was right.
As soon as the two songs were released, fans who had been waiting for a long time because of "see you on Thursday" quickly gave a reaction.
"The lyrics of "No.1" are very domineering, I like it very much. β
"Smith deserves to be Smith. β
"Wait, Smith is worthy of Smith, but ...... wtfοΌοΌβ
"Look at the lyrics of [WTF], 'I only say this world, and I am the king when I designate the order of the new world', it's too arrogant!
"Russell, I don't seem to have seen much of his news lately, but I put his voice last? What happened?"
"I like the rhythm of [WTF's] new song, Gan Jing's first song is said to have simple lyrics, and the second song is said to rely on that female voice, and this song I think he proves himself, uh, I also like Smith, but if I were to use these two songs alone, I would probably choose Gan Jing, even if he is a yellow-skinned Chinese. β
"I think the point of Smith coming out with this song is to give people a clearer look at who is the No. 1 on the East Coast, and there is no doubt that the crown is slowly tilting. β
Along with the discussion of two new songs with similar release times, the real-time ranking of the singles chart also proves who is better.
Because it's a weekly chart, Thursday's hit on the chart will face the advantage of four more days of other songs released earlier, so the position of the two new songs is not too high.
Smith's songs faltered from the 90s to the 60s, while the WTF songs hovered in the 40s, and the long-awaited fans voted with their feet to show the followers of the hip-hop diss to show which side was better.
It's just one afternoon, and the winner is decided.
Or rather, Smith only let the suspense of victory and defeat last for the five minutes he had previously released, and then, everyone heard the voice of WTF from the East.
That night, talk shows, news pages, and social media in the United States all talked about this incident of Orientals coming to North America to smash the field.
"If [WTF] are willing to change their name, I don't think I mind admitting that they're the new kings of the East Coast. β
"Smith was excellent, but ...... I mean, who doesn't love a song like "Lose Yourself"? the lyrics are so charming, the oriental's rendition is so apt, well, I mean, I'm defeated by Kim, I know his evil intentions, OK, I'll go see what his movies are like. β
"Dear audience, I want to educate you about the fact that in a Chinese country, Gan's achievements in movies are much higher than his achievements in music, but the confusing thing is that as far as I can see, Gan is not willing to put too much energy into music, and he is even too lazy to write a song in its entirety. β
"Gan has such a helpless name in Huaxia as 'Gan Banshou', of course, in order to express their love for Gan's songs, fans also affectionately call Gan 'Gan Dog'. β
"If Gan's music was so irresistible, what would his films look like?"
On the evening of June 2nd, Gan Jing did not stay in front of the computer to browse the specific reflection of the popularity, such a thing was done by the other three members of the band, I don't know why, they were finally relieved to see that the media focused on Gan Jing after remarks such as "Xie's voice is too beautiful" and "Gang character Mr. Ma".
Sometimes, Xie Xin feels as if Gan Jing was born to be in the spotlight.
However, the reason why the actor with a halo in the eyes of the queen did not stay in front of the computer was because he was facing his daughter's tears on the mobile phone screen with a sad face.
"Daddy, when are you coming back?"
"Daddy, I miss you. β
"I'm not eating ice cream anymore, come back soon!"
"You said you'd be back soon, where are you? You, aren't you coming back?"
Since Gan Jing went abroad, he has been chatting with his daughter about videos almost every day, for a long or short time, but he must say a few words to each other, but as time goes by, Gan Xuesi is becoming more and more unhappy.
To this day, her emotions collapsed as she said "Are you not coming back", and a small face quickly cried.
Gan Jing was still coaxing her daughter, calculating the return date to her one by one, but when she saw Ersi, she suddenly cried with rain and panicked.
This video chat is good, but it can't let people wipe away her daughter's tears through the screen, you can only watch her cry, no matter how you coax her, you can't stop.
In the end, it was the old man who heard the crying in the villa who rushed to hear the sound, hugged his granddaughter, reprimanded his son, and barely managed to maintain the situation.
Gan Jing hung up the video in a daze, and when he got out of the room, he saw that not only the three members of the band but also He Yue were all excited about the song charts, and he couldn't help but sigh, this movie promotion really took a lot of effort.
"Xie Xin, do you think Smith will continue to come back and forth with us?" asked Gan Jing in a perked spirit.
"I don't know. Xie Xin thought for a while and guessed blindly, "I think he must think that we came prepared, and it won't be so abrupt, and he is not the only hip-hop singer here, so it's very uncomfortable to be compared like this." β
Xie Xin glanced at Gan Jing and gave a simple and easy-to-understand analogy: "This feels a bit similar to Xu Wen's song being one place higher than me on the list." β
Gan Jing: "......"
He pondered for a moment and nodded, "Hmm...... The screening on my side has been restarted, and there will probably be an accurate statement before the weekend, Yu Jing's side has already finished the release in Europe, don't hit the charts in the next two days, help me make a soundtrack. β
Ma Hammer took a step back and said in surprise: "The movie score is not done?
"It's just that part of it hasn't been done, and soon, can it be more difficult than us to hit the list?"
Ma Hammer expressed his doubts, in addition, it doesn't seem to be too difficult to hit the charts, since he came to New York, he has been pondering songs, recording songs, and grinding songs, and when the songs come out satisfactorily, the music list will be done directly.
Is this difficult? Where is this difficult?
Ma Hammer thought about it like this, and couldn't help but want to shout again, "Gan respects you and says you can't hip-hop", but he stopped, gang people should have the demeanor of gang people!
"Okay, you must have the soundtrack in mind?" said Ma Hammer, his eyes fixed on Gan Jing.
Gan Jing didn't react at all, just nodded silently, and simply continued: "I have already thought that we will leave for China on the day the movie is released, and then press the release of the new song before returning to China is the last gift to the American people." β
Xie Xin became interested and asked, "What song?"
βγThis Is Americaγγ "Gan Jing first Britain and then China," "This is America". β
"Sounds like you're on the same page as your 'The Wolf of Wall Street'. Xie Xin laughed.
Gan Jing was surprised: "A little keen." β
"It's not surprising. Xie Xin stood up and reached out to pick up the bass, "Let's go, record the songs, record the soundtracks, get the soundtrack, get it done early, go home early." β
Ma Hammer nodded, took two steps, and suddenly stopped and asked Gan Jing: "You said that hip-hop here often has a gangster culture, does that Smith have such a background?"
"Maybe, what's wrong? Now you've suppressed other people's songs, and you've taken away your face, and it's too late to regret it. Gan Jing replied.
Ma Hammer shook his head: "No, I just want to, in this case, I will take a photo with him before returning to China, and take a commemorative look at each other." β
Gan Jing thought for a while: "Well, you send me a photo of you, and I'll ask the company to give you a p, so it's safe, and others can't see it." β
Ah Liang coldly mended the knife: "I want to give Mr. Ma a tattoo, so as not to lose the momentum of our Eastern gang." β
Hammer: "......"
Xie Xin burst into laughter.
A few people walked out of the suite while talking and laughing, and the time when the music was on the charts was the most relaxing time since coming to New York, and the rest of the time, including the next time before returning to China, as He Yue said, "This is Brother Gan's full firepower" will continue to make people immersed in exhaustion.
After the day of June 2, Smith did not make a next meeting as Xie Xin said, but the West Coast hip-hop singers who have always been suspicious have sprung up.
In addition to hip-hop, the American pop diva suddenly said that she would release a new song over the weekend, and the king who won the best singer last month also released the rumor, and the title song of the album will be released early to thank the fans.
Although the voices of the two heavyweight singers did not mention the fiery performance of [WTF], they were interpreted by many people as defending the dignity of local music, and some reporters wanted to interview the lead singer of [WTF] but were refused.
Gan Jing has invested in the final preparations before the screening of the movie and the release, the local king and queen, come on, double, super double.
