Chapter 141: First Play
Sid, Britney, 50Cent, and Fei Dong are four characters who seem to be incompatible, and completely different characters actually run together to form a hip-hop group?
Sid himself is the leader, Britney is the dancer, 50Cent is the rap leader, and Fei Dong Farrell is the lyrical expert - a ghost!
This kind of combination, which seems to be a ticket nature, aroused an extremely strong reaction at the press conference as soon as Park announced it.
There are those who agree, there are those who doubt, but many more are still shocked.
In the face of doubts and shock, Sid calmly said that he would release the first single of their group album "B" on the radio program that night.
Everything will be determined by the quality of the song and the response of the listeners.
After these media went back and couldn't publish the relevant news, from August 1, it immediately triggered an unexpected and fierce response among the North American media and the public.
It can be said that one stone has stirred up a thousand waves.
Whether it is Sid's "accidental" combination or hip-hop's main music style, there are too many points to complain about.
Although before, in addition to Fei Dong, Sid, Britney and 50Cent have all debuted as singers, although they have debuted for different lengths, but the most incredible thing is that their styles are completely different.
Britney, who is in the limelight, is the absolute representative of TeenPop, whether it is the musical achievements of the first two albums, or Britney's role as an idol of the times, becoming "more influential than the president and God", has made her more than just a simple music singer.
And 50Cent, as a super newcomer in the hip-hop industry, has gradually dissipated the negative impact of the shooting in the previous two years over time. And last year's and this year's album debuts also made him a hip-hop star in the limelight for a while.
Although Fei Dong Farrell is a well-known gold medal producer in the music industry, he has never officially debuted as a singer, and for the public, he is still a "newcomer" who does not choose to deduct.
However, if there is one of the most unexpected and unexpected members of "B's Eyes", it is definitely the leader Sid Leon.
Although Sid also released two albums with a ticket, and with his high popularity and excellent quality of the album, he even set the highest first-week album sales record in history, but Sid, who participated, found that it is definitely not a simple thing to run an album well.
Just like the promotion of a movie, whether or not there is good publicity will definitely have a completely different impact on the final sales of an album.
For the promotion of an album song, in addition to TV and print channel advertising, the most important thing is that the singer himself participates in some activities to increase exposure for publicity.
This is simply an impossible task for Sid, who has to manage the Nuoda Group and make two movies a year.
But this time, for the sake of Britney, Sid decided to take matters into his own hands.
Although the "911 Memorial Concert" held last year not only allowed Britney to successfully avoid the trap of "fate", but also successfully brushed a favor in the global media, so that Britney was named "Music Person of the Year" at the end of last year.
But after "Baby One More Time" and "Oop I did it Again", Britney, who is already an adult, will definitely not be able to continue the TeenPop route.
Whether it's her age or the decline of TeenPop, it's already impossible for her to go down this path anymore.
So the question of transformation is in front of us, but the question is where to turn?
This is like Taylor's mold, which later cleared the country music, everyone knows that she is going to transform, but what is the change? no one knows, and no one has the confidence.
Therefore, now everyone's focus of doubt is also on the style choice of "hip-hop".
Previously, someone in a music magazine had hypothesized Britney's transformation direction, the most widely speculated by the audience - the first choice was electronic music, then pop music, and finally disco, after all, Madonna, who was regarded as Britney's predecessor, was the development of this style back then.
But "hip-hop"!?
It's not more than a decade later, when HipPop reigned supreme, and almost all of today's hip-hop music is singing about "uniqueness", "violence" and "surname".
(Although it hasn't changed much after more than a decade.)
can't enter the eyes of the North American public at all, although 50Cent's hip-hop album does sell very well, but just like the previous NBA arena has not been regulated, for the public, today's hip-hop music is still a standard killer and non-mainstream.
If they want them to accept "good kids" like Britney and Sid to sing hip-hop, everyone's first feeling is that it is difficult.
The second is the original hip-hop fans, for whom the hearty hip-hop swag is the biggest reason why they love this kind of music, and in the hip-hop world, except for a lone Eminem master, it is all black singers.
Now Sid and Britney suddenly jumped out, which is really unbelievable, although Britney had a record-breaking record of "Oop I did it Again" on black radio back then, but the direct transformation into the hip-hop circle still makes people sweat.
On August 1st, at 7 o'clock in the evening, few fans from all over North America gathered in front of the radio station, almost all mainstream pop stations and HioPop stations received the recommendation of Fire Lion Records, and many of them did not collect money, just seeing the shocking list of members of "B's Eyes", I was excited to play the east wind.
"Okay, it's either soaring or dying, let's do it——!" a well-known mainstream radio anchor in Los Angeles said with a smile, and then immediately turned on today's program, "Hi everyone, I don't know if you've heard about it, but I'm going to say it again to you!"
"B's Eyes, a hip-hop group consisting of Sid Leonhardt, Britney Spears, 50Cent and Pharrell Williams, has officially formed today. And the first chart-topping songs of their album "B" were also officially released today. ”
"I can't hold back my excitement——, so let's listen to 'B's Eyes' first chart-breaking song, 'My Humps'!"
Humps literally translates to the hump of a camel, but as a colloquial American English, it also represents the double wind of women, so judging from the title of the song alone, it seems to be a very low-speed hip-hop music.
Despite this, the radio DJ pressed the play button.
Then a hip-hop song that was different from what everyone had imagined was played.
