Chapter 197: The Myth of the Single (Part II)
For the vast majority of Chinese, the closest thing to heaven is not death, but the summer vacation after the college entrance examination. Since learning that he was admitted to the undergraduate program with shit luck, Wang Weiqiang has been living a drunken life these days. The only thing that disappointed him was that Jiang Chao was actually admitted to the undergraduate program, and his ranking just stepped into the 20,000 in the province, and he escaped the punishment of being sued by Wang Kefan.
At the class reunion after the exam, Tian Tingting became the protagonist of the party. Wang Weiqiang had a deep impression of that night, not only because many people from other classes who were also eating graduation dinner in that hotel came to talk to Tian Tingting, but the most important thing was that he confessed to Tian Tingting again while he was drinking that night, and Tian Tingting actually agreed. Although many days have passed, every time he thinks about it, Wang Weiqiang is still happy to roll on the bed.
After Tian Tingting came back from Tangcheng, the two went on a date, but the topic always revolved around Wang Kefan. Wang Weiqiang didn't feel bored, now he really took Wang Kefan as an idol. Needless to say, singing is a big battle like the Cannes concert, which has already made the entire Chinese music industry boiling. What's even more rare is that Wang Kefan can still behave like a god in other messy aspects.
In Wang Weiqiang's own words to Tian Tingting: "I want to have one of your brother's skills, and at least I don't have to worry about food and clothing in this life." ”
This is very true, as long as Wang Weiqiang can speak English like Wang Kefan, it is absolutely appropriate to find a high school English teacher after graduation.
After waking up at half past ten in the morning and continuing to be in Yiyin until half past eleven at noon, after his stomach rumbled, Wang Weiqiang finally reluctantly got up from the bed. This afternoon, I said that I would accompany Tian Tingting to go shopping. The exam is extraordinary, and my parents have given me a lot of money, as long as the funds for pickling girls are enough, the diaosi are actually happy to walk around with the goddess.
When I got up, I turned on the computer and came back from the toilet, and the computer was just turned on. Wang Weiqiang is accustomed to opening the webpage first, and going to post it, forums and the like to see if there are any people who are not long-eyed and take advantage of him to sleep Black Wang Kefan, and now he has become the administrator of several Wang Kefan support club forums, claiming to be a good netizen with a strong sense of historical mission and social responsibility, and his main job is to report all kinds of trolls to his superiors, so in the eyes of others, this guy is simply a lackey.
As soon as the official website of Fan Fan spontaneously created by netizens for Wang Kefan was opened, Wang Weiqiang saw the big title.
The new MV of "Baby" set a world record, and it was released simultaneously around the world, with 18 million downloads in one hour!
Wang Weiqiang felt strange in his heart, and said to himself: "Hasn't "baby" been posted for a few days? Why is it coming again for simultaneous release? Did I travel back in time to half a month ago? ”
Wang Weiqiang clicked on the page and scrolled down directly to see the comments.
"I'm rubbing! Can Brother Fan dance? ”
"The most versatile artist in the world, the identification is complete!"
"Wang Kefan, I want to call your wife!"
"Pull the 4th floor out and play the chicks. Chickens to death ......"
"I also let other artists live, a singer, doing the work of an advertising person, receiving a film award, and now dancing again. Wang Daxian, what do you want to make trouble? ”
Wang Weiqiang seemed to realize something, and hurriedly pulled the page back to the video, listening to the familiar music of "Baby", Wang Weiqiang saw Wang Kefan dancing in the video, and got up from the chair like a convulsion.
The chair made a screeching sound against the floor, causing a wave of dissatisfaction downstairs.
But Wang Weiqiang didn't care, looking at the movements in the picture that were very in tune with the rhythm of the music, and feeling the joyful atmosphere in it, Wang Weiqiang couldn't help but feel a sense of pride as a fan of Wang Kefan in his heart, the corners of his mouth grinned, and he couldn't help muttering: "Wang Daxian, what are you going to make trouble?" ”
No one could have imagined that "Baby" with MV would create another download boom.
The trend of modern music is so strange that listening alone can no longer meet people's requirements, and only by adding visual elements can the listener be satisfied.
As for Wang Kefan's MV, at least China and Europe have expressed considerable enthusiasm. To everyone's surprise, "Baby" was just as popular after it crossed the ocean to the United States. You must know that the sales of "baby" in the United States in the past half month only accounted for one-fifth of the total sales of the song!
At present, the two largest markets for online music in the world are the United States and Europe. And the Americans' ability to pay is about 50% stronger than that of Europe. As for China, it is still only part of the Asian market, and unfortunately the Chinese who are willing to pay online are not as large as the population of less than one-tenth of China.
After all, the gap in the per capita economic level is there, and the consumption power is really barely there. Wang Kefan was able to become so popular in China, thanks to the mercy of the Internet supervision department, who did not eradicate pirated websites.
The dance music of just over 6 minutes made Wang Weiqiang, who was originally seriously angry, feel very good.
“baby、baby、baby…… oh~”
Wang Weiqiang hummed, unconsciously learning the dance moves there, although most of them are difficult, but the movements of the most ** chorus part are rare and simple.
Holding the air and shaking twice, suddenly the door slammed twice, Wang Weiqiang saw his mother standing outside the door, he couldn't help but blush, and hurriedly explained: "I learn to dance!" ”
Wang Weiqiang's mother smiled and said, "Okay, I know you're older, and I can't wait to be a father." You and that one named Tingting, be careful, don't really get the child out in college! ”
Wang Weiqiang smirked and touched his head, and continued to explain: "It's really ...... learning to dance."
"Okay, learn to dance, learn to dance, quickly brush your teeth and wash your face, and don't see when it's over."
Wang Weiqiang looked at the time, hurriedly ran to the bathroom, ran out two steps, turned his head again, clicked on the video again, and said to his mother: "I don't believe you." ”
…… Simple movements, cheerful rhythms, the warm-up of the previous no-picture singles, and the appeal of Wang Kefan's three words.
Cradleballs quickly swept the country at a perverted speed.
Older people or people who have no dance foundation can imitate the simplest movements to coax children like horse riding dance, while individual young people are very brave enough to challenge Wang Kefan's several extremely difficult street dance moves in the video.
There are several actions in the video that need to be coordinated by skate shoes, radiating around Tangcheng City, and when the summer vacation is halfway over, the skating halls in many big cities suddenly have a lot of young guests who come to learn.
But that's not all.
On the third day after the MV was uploaded, there began to be strange parents who used the little babies at home as props.
The people who originally sang "baby" with the air hugged the real baby this time.
Videos of parents hugging their children and dancing cradlebacks are posted on the Internet one by one like snowflakes in the Siberian winter.
Videos about small babies know no borders.
On the fifth day, a similar video appeared in South Korea.
On the sixth day, it was said that someone had learned from him.
On the seventh day, the Europeans who found themselves behind appeared in the real crowd dance, and a large number of parents of different ages were very playful and carried their children to the main square to dance.
Another day passed, and the craze finally reached the United States.
Within a week, the global playback of the "Baby" MV exceeded an astonishing 100 million times!
The U.S. market, which was previously very popular, contributed another 8 million music downloads, which is not much compared to the European market, but looking at the whole United States, it is a lot.
In recent years, the big cake of the global online music market has been increasing at a rate of almost 50% per year, but the singers who can sell a song 20 million times in the United States can not exceed 50 people in the United States. Those who have crossed the 20 million mark as foreigners have only been in the single digits in recent years. Among Chinese singers, Wang Kefan is the first.
China's media stared at Wang Kefan's data all day long, and the entertainment media in European countries introduced Wang Kefan's life one after another.
With an unstoppable attitude, "Baby" has repeatedly refreshed the various records set by South Korean Uncle Bird's "Gangnam Style" around the world a few years ago.
On July 16, the American "Entertainment Weekly" wrote an article pointing out that NK's "Baby" has replaced the status of "Gangnam Style" and has become the latest representative of Asian pop songs in the European and American world.
Wang Kefan relied on a song "baby" to become a god.
………… Anticipation is a magical emotion. A lot of things, the more you think about them, the harder they get, but if you don't want to happen at all and subconsciously want it to happen, it's likely to happen. Just like those who win the lottery, the vast majority of them don't think they're actually going to win.
Wang Kefan feels that he is now a person who has won the lottery.
In the more than a year since his debut, he has pursued perfection in everything, and he didn't expect his MV debut to have a harvest of this scale. But he didn't expect that those who watched the MV didn't care about the MV itself, but about the dance that he only spent a few hours choreographing.
Yan An and Guo Yujing, the mother and daughter, showed quite calmness about this achievement.
With Xiao Gu, the three of them basically lost interest after watching the MV of "Baby" a few times.
Yan An, who has been a good learner since she was a child, rarely has time to live with Guo Yujing for a long time, and finally has the opportunity to educate her daughter.
A set of tea sets that Guo Yujing has always used badly seems to be a living work of art in Yan An's hands.
The mother-in-law's tea ceremony skills are very deep, and the movements are natural and atmospheric, which looks very feeling. It is difficult for Wang Kefan to understand how Guo Moru could let such a woman be widowed for half her life, and if she was herself, she would definitely not be able to do it.
Picking up a small cup and drinking the green tea that could just fill half of his mouth, Wang Kefan exhaled a breath of hot air.
After the hurdle in his heart was smoothly crossed, Wang Kefan's mentality was much more correct.
Taking advantage of this general trend, Wang Kefan, who has already touched the way of composition, plans to launch several more English title songs in a row while it is hot.
Since you want to be the world's No. 1 singer, you must not take this achievement to heart anymore.
