Chapter 772: Out of place
After Dong Chou's song became popular, many people who had reached the mature age at that time had such a feeling.
Are young people deaf today? What do you hear?
In the final analysis, some of Jay Chou's ideas, at that time, were indeed a little incompatible with the appreciation ability of mainstream audiences.
failed to enter the university for further study, and Chou Dong also went to work in restaurants and other places.
Later, Dong Chou participated in the entertainment program "Super Rookie King", and was taken by Wu Zongxian, and Dong Chou was a real entry into the industry.
But to put it simply, Dong Chou has been precipitated for a longer time. At first, he wrote songs for others, but the songs he wrote were returned by various singers. Just like "Nunchuck", a song that later resounded all over the country, was also returned by Zhang Huimei.
But during this period of precipitation, Dong Chou was not an official debut. After that, he was responsible for composing all the songs of his first album and had a part-time job. Relying on this album called "JAY", Jay Chou became an instant hit.
What is the quality of this album? It's already a blast among newcomers. Simply think about it, in fact, "Tornado", the representative song of Chou Dong, is in the album "Jay". You can know the level of this first album.
debuted his first album, and it was so popular. Later, with this sharp spirit, he overcame all the obstacles along the way.
Dong Chou is like this, in fact, Lin Junjie and the rain god are also similar.
Lin Junjie has participated in various singing competitions and has achieved good results. In this case, it was discovered by the record company. But to put it simply, before that, although he had participated in many singing competitions and even won very good results. But at this stage, there is still no debut.
When he debuted, this first album "Music Walker" was actually very good.
The words of the rain god Xiao Ziteng, before he debuted with "Xiao Ziteng's album of the same name", he was actually already in a show of "Super Avenue of Fame" and became famous.
Xu Qing's three favorite singers have been precipitated for a long time before their debut albums. The so-called debut, in fact, is already a time when all aspects of ability have reached a high level.
There is no doubt that the sharpness of a singer when he debuts is very important.
But sharpness, in fact, does not necessarily have to be in the music world.
In fact, Xu Qing actually knows very well that the era he is in now is actually not the golden age of the music scene.
What's going on? The music scene is almost literally in decline. In this life, I didn't experience the JJ&jay era, and there was no rain god before that. But to put it simply, the music scene has never been lonely.
Without these god-level figures, there are still other god-level figures in this life between 00 and 10 years. Among the more than one billion people in the country, only a few top talents have entered the music scene. The talent of these people is still enough for the situation.
Therefore, even if there are no three god-level singers, Dong Chou, Junjie, and Rain God. The music scene in this life has also experienced a golden age.
At that time, in the popular stage of cassette and record, singers were indeed a very lucrative industry. In fact, making money is still relative.
In the land of China, there has never been the concept of intellectual copyright. In the golden age of the music scene in the last generation, cassette records were piracy rampant. You so-called literati don't do anything but get treatment that others can't think of. Why should we protect your interests?
These pirate manufacturers are diligent small businessmen. Each manufacturer feeds too many local ordinary people. Therefore, their interests, we are to protect. You literati who don't do anything about production, let's go as far as you want.
Huaxia has a long period of time, in fact, it is such an attitude. Being literate is not respected, but a crime.
No one has really taken piracy seriously.
So in the JJ&JAY era, these people didn't actually make money so hard.
They released a few albums, and there are very few people here in China who buy genuine copies. Songs that seem to be popular all over the country, in fact, most of the money that can be made goes to the hands of those pirates.
So to say that singers in that era could make a lot of money, in fact, it is not enough.
But of course, you also have to see who you compare yourself to.
If everyone buys genuine products, JJ & JAY, the income of an album, may soar from millions to tens of millions. But it's impossible to buy all the genuine ones.
However, at the end of the day, even if you buy genuine albums, only 5 to 10 percent of them. In fact, the income of these singers is already quite considerable.
The comparison is mainly compared with ordinary people who spend a few hundred dollars a month. Ordinary people earn a few hundred dollars a month, and singers can earn hundreds of thousands or even millions a year. So at that time, it was already an industry that ordinary people couldn't envy.
But over time, things have changed.
Back then, there were still people who would buy the album. But after the Internet age, no one cares about the copyright of songs. When you release new songs, all of them go to major music websites to listen to pirated versions.
It's not that singers don't make money, but to put it simply, the money they make is actually not too much.
If you open a small factory, your annual income may be more than that of a third- or fourth-tier singer.
In such a situation, singing can't make a lot of money, and of course, it is doomed to the decline of the music scene.
Not to mention the reality of other musicians, why do people work hard every day, and in the end all the income falls into the hands of others?
Huaxia does not attach importance to intellectual property rights, copyrights, copyrights, and other rights and interests. first led to the decline of the music scene, and then because of the rampant piracy of software, the software industry in Huaxia also became a joke.
But even so, no one is too eager to change that. At the end of the day, you singers, you write books, you program and write software. If you don't produce every day, you want to make money!
Xu Qing couldn't help but complain, he was a human being in two lives, but this situation did not change at all.
In this world, the music scene is actually close to decline.
Xiao Ziteng's official debut in the previous life was in 08. At that time, I dared to be at the end of the golden age of the music scene.
The Internet has just emerged, but to put it simply, at least in most places, it has not yet reached the time to enter the homes of ordinary people.
