In the current music scene, many newcomers emerge every year, but there are not many who can really gain a firm foothold in the music scene.

"Huaguo Music" once made a statistic that the "premature death rate" of newcomers in the music industry is as high as 60% within one year, and the "premature death rate" within three years reaches 80%, which means that six of the ten newcomers who debuted disappeared directly after releasing an album, and if you look at it three years later, only two of the ten newcomers can survive.

The two surviving newcomers also have to face huge competition, and they have to mix from the newcomer to the familiar third line, and then from the third line to the second line with a slight status, and I don't know how many years have passed since the second line and then into the first line.

Like Leng Youyou, a genius who swept the major charts as soon as he debuted and sold millions of copies of his debut album, looking at the history of the Chinese music scene over the years, there are only a few examples in total, and it is impossible to count them at all.

Most newcomers still have to do album by album, and when they encounter a good song, they can become popular faster, if they can't meet a good song, they can only develop honestly and step by step.

Zhou Mengxiong debuted two years ago, and so far he has maintained the rate of releasing one album a year, which is one of the 20% that survived. With the previous song "The Ballad of the Water Moon", he was also popular for a while, and the sales of his second album also exceeded 100,000, which is the best among the newcomers of the same year.

But he is not satisfied, and has been working hard to write and practice songs, hoping to make a breakthrough on the third album.

Kingdee also values Zhou Mengxiong very much, and specially arranged for Xu Yinmei, a gold medal person, to take him. Among the three songs taken from Zhou Lin's hands, "Escape from the Tiger's Mouth" and "Alive" were given to Zhou Mengxiong, and the meaning of praising him was very obvious.

When he participated in Zhou Lin's college banquet before, Zhou Mengxiong was the first to sing on stage besides Bai Hua, and he was very good at doing things, and his energy was exactly the same as Xu Yinmei.

At this moment, in front of Zhou Lin, Zhou Mengxiong, who can be regarded as having the number one status in the music world, is as respectful as a middle school student when he sees a university professor.

"Don't be so polite, you call me old." Zhou Lin hurriedly said.

Zhou Mengxiong said: "Teacher Zhou, I am not polite, I respect you from the bottom of my heart." Really, the song "You at the Same Table" you wrote for Wei Hai is really amazing! ”

He didn't say that it was okay, but Xu Yunyue was taken aback when he said it.

Although she knows that Zhou Lin can write songs and has a good relationship with many big names in the music industry, Xu Yunyue really doesn't know what songs Zhou Lin has written.

Hearing Zhou Mengxiong say this, Xu Yunyue knew that the red and purple "You at the Same Table" on campus recently was actually written by Zhou Lin.

"You at the Same Table" has a beautiful melody, timeless lyrics, and catchy, which is full of nostalgia and memories of youth, which is very suitable for college students to remember their middle school days, and also suitable for small white-collar workers to remember college life, and more suitable for middle-aged people to reminisce about their youthful years, which is suitable for all ages.

This song is classified into campus folk songs, and it is naturally very popular on campus. Recently, no matter which university campus you walk in, you can almost hear Wei Hai singing "Who marries the sentimental you, who comforts you who cry, who coils up your long hair, who makes you a wedding dress......"

When teenagers hear this song, they think of the girl they used to secretly like.

When the girls hear this song, they think of the handsome boy in the next class.

When Xu Yunyue heard it for the first time, she inexplicably remembered the last time of her high school days when she sat with Zhou Lin to study.

remembered Zhou Lin being stumped by a math problem and biting a pencil.

I think of the tips that Zhou Lin taught him to solve reading comprehension.

Every bit has become a part of her youth, no matter whose wife she becomes in the future, no matter where she goes, no matter where she is, it cannot be changed or erased.

The feeling of listening to this song is different from the feeling after knowing that this song was written by Zhou Lin.

For a moment, Xu Yunyue felt that she was the heroine of the song, and realized that she had such an important position in Zhou Lin's heart.

She remembered "Cinderella" sung by Zhou Lin on the guitar at the last class meeting of the third year of high school, and the corners of her eyes couldn't help but be a little moist.

Zhou Lin didn't know what Xu Yunyue was thinking, he had already begun to listen to the sample recorded by Zhou Mengxiong.

Zhou Mengxiong's new album has a total of ten songs, six of which are written and composed by himself, and two are tailor-made for him by Kingdee's royal songwriter, and the remaining two are naturally "Tiger's Mouth" and "Alive".

When Zhou Lin threw out three folk songs at the auction, he was actually hiding his selfishness.

Whether it is "Escape from the Tiger's Mouth", "Alive", or "Love That Can't Speak", they are all high-quality folk songs, and they are good songs that you never get tired of listening to.

But all three songs have a drawback, which is that they alone can't hold up a folk album.

Just look at the singles, all three songs can score 90 points.

But if there is only one song in an album, I am afraid it will be difficult to provoke consumers to buy**.

In this regard, they are not as good as "I Am a Wolf from the North" and "You at the Table".

Even in the previous life, "Escape from the Tiger's Mouth", which was written and composed by the talented Yu Dong, was never popular in the era of its release, and it was not until more than ten years later that someone sang this song on the stage of the fourth season final of "The Voice of China", and it was suddenly known to the world.

And Hao Yun's "Alive" is more clever and delicate than his previous works in terms of melodic rigor and lyric depth, but it still can't make him among the top singers.

It can be seen that it is unrealistic to want to rely on a song "Escape from the Tiger's Mouth" to sell well, or to become popular with a song "Alive" alone.

Xu Yinmei obviously realized this, since one song is not good, then give both songs to Zhou Mengxiong, in order to make the whole album appear thicker and more durable.

Zhou Lin also knew this, but he had to do things after receiving the money, so he helped Zhou Mengxiong analyze the problem in the sample one detail at a time.

In the previous life, the completeness of these two songs was quite high, and Zhou Lin almost ripped off the arrangement of the entire song and taught it to Zhou Mengxiong.

Xu Yunyue is not an insider, so she doesn't understand it very well.

Zhou Mengxiong listened to it as if he was fascinated.

Even Xu Yinmei's eyes flickered a little when she looked at Zhou Lin.

After Zhou Lin finished speaking, Zhou Mengxiong exclaimed: "Teacher Zhou, can I worship you as a teacher, please teach me how to write songs, how to write lyrics, and how to arrange music!" ”

Zhou Lin didn't dare to agree even if he was thick-skinned, so he coughed dryly and said: "We have a specialization in the art industry, just learn from each other in the future, and forget it about being a teacher." ”
