Yanjing, Guangwei Entertainment.

In the office of the general manager, which is not spacious, there are five people standing or sitting.

General Manager Yang Junkun, Production Directors Shi Zhe, Zheng Wei and his golden partner lyricist Cheng Sheng, and the royal arranger Lang Tao.

These five people are all well-known figures in the record industry, each of them has experiences and stories that people talk about, and many members of the public have learned about their legendary lives through TV, books, etc., and they are also the "heavenly group" with the highest prestige in the Chinese record industry in the era of the Four Heavenly Kings.

To borrow from Time magazine's evaluation of them in '08, they are a symbol of an era in the Chinese music scene, they have been leading the Chinese music scene and Asiapop for the past eight years, and will continue to lead the way, for five years, ten years, and even longer.

Until this year, the assessment was still relevant, and there seemed to be no sign of a deadline.

All those who hold them in high esteem believe that their myth will last longer, and that their dominance in the pop music scene will not be shaken for at least ten years.

However, change can sometimes be a blink of an eye.

Whether for the public or for themselves, this year, no one can ignore the new star that has shone brightly in just one year.

Unlike the new stars who clamored to surpass them in the past, but eventually disappeared like a meteor shower, this time, they really felt a lot of pressure.

They all know that unlike the previous newcomers who wanted to trample them under their feet and replace their hegemonic position, this new star is by no means simple.

Looking at the Chinese music scene in the past 20 years, he can be as dazzling as him. There is only one person, and that is Zheng Wei.

A strong enemy who is evenly matched has finally appeared. The five of them are more or less dignified, and they naturally pay attention to this new star.

So. Today, when the whole song of "Sunny Day" was released, the five of them got together very tacitly.

"How, do you think our albums are of good quality, or are his albums of good quality?"

Yang Junkun did not hide his comparative intentions at all.

In the morning, even the originally planned morning meeting was canceled, he didn't just come to enjoy the songs, he was now eager to hear everyone's opinions on Ding Ning's new album and their upcoming new album.

Shi Zhe pursed his mouth and took the lead in saying, "Can you tell the truth?" ”

"Say it." Yang Junkun glanced at Shi Zhe with a heavy heart.

has been in the record circle for so many years, and has always been in a transcendent position. He didn't need to listen to any whitewashed lies for a long time, and at such a critical juncture, he just wanted to hear the truth, the truth.

Shi Zhe said: "Then I'll be honest, I personally feel that our new album is completely inferior to his album." What can I say about his album, he has formed a very strong personal style, and there are many new and unique places. Our new album has a lot of groundbreaking, but in terms of overall highlights. It's much worse. ”

"The three songs "Double Knife", "Nunchuck", and "Dragon Fist", I don't need to say more, you can also see that his current album sales have been established, and I am afraid that it will be popular for a while. Just such an album. I feel like none of the songs on our new album can compare to these three songs. ”

"But this style, I think, is a double-edged sword. Attracted a group of people, but also drove away a group of people. And once the gimmick has passed, it is difficult to last. I think this style of song. It is certainly not the general orientation of the public's aesthetics, it can only be said to be a miracle move, seeking victory in danger, and it must be considered a success now, and it may not be said in the future. ”

"It's just that this one is what we encountered, and we can't help it, how can it compare with luck? If it were just these three songs, I wouldn't actually think that our new specialty was bad, the key was the three songs "Jiangnan", "Flower Field Wrong" and "East Wind Blowing". ”

"These three songs, you can all hear them, they all follow the path of folk music arrangement, and they are all RB, but the styles are very different. "Jiangnan" is the same as the name, a little fresh, like a new school of poetry. "Flower Field Mistake" takes the road of combining Chinese and Western, with a strong Western flavor, integrating the Beijing accent, and Ding Ning's commonly used techniques. "The East Wind Blows" is more classical, and I can only evaluate the lyrics and arrangements as perfect. ”

"Similar styles, completely different tastes, in my opinion, these three songs are the essence of his new album, and they are also the best embodiment of his personal skills. Personally, if I had to find three songs from our new album and compare them to those three, at least I wouldn't be able to find them. ”

"I don't need to evaluate the other songs, the quality is basically above the middle level. How to say it, his album, just like "0304" back then, take out any song at random, it has obvious characteristics, and it can be popular for a while, if it is split into five or six albums, it will not be a problem to be popular for five or six years. ”

Shi Zhe's evaluation can be said to be completely about the ambition of others to destroy his prestige, but Yang Junkun and the four of them did not feel the slightest dissatisfaction or displeasure because of this.

Because, what they thought in their hearts was similar to Shi Zhe.

has been immersed in the pop music scene for many years, and they can all hear that Ding Ning's "Sunny Day" is indeed a high-quality gold specialty, which must be new and innovative, and popular and popular.

Aside from the six songs mentioned by Shi Zhe, the other six songs, "Sunny Day", "No. 89757" and "The Sun Washed in the Spring Rain", which were used as the title songs, as well as the rest of "Today You Are Going to Marry Me", "Lonely Season" and "Melody", each has something special.

It is not an exaggeration to say that this is an album that can be the main song when it comes out, and it is likely to be Ding Ning's pinnacle work.

No matter how reluctant they are, they have to admit that in front of this "Sunny Day", their new album is really not enough to watch.

If nothing else, they know that their new professional results will definitely lose to "Sunny Day".

It's just that they have done their best to grind out such a new album in more than two years.

To this day, they don't have the time or ability to make adjustments to the new album in order to catch up with "Sunny Day".

After all, it was their turn to step down from the altar, and the dynasty they had single-handedly established was approaching dusk.

Similar thoughts invariably popped up from the hearts of the five people, and the five of them couldn't help but be a little gloomy.

To be honest, this day didn't come quickly, but compared to their ideals, it still came a little faster.

If they could, they all hoped that they could dominate the music scene for ten, twenty, or even longer.

It's a pity that metabolism is the eternal normal, no tree can be evergreen forever, and no one can always stand at the top, Ding Ning's "Sunny Day" ruthlessly broke some of their wishes.

Even Zheng Wei, who has always had a good mentality, felt quite lost in the face of such a reality, and his mood was so heavy that he couldn't speak.

Yes, when you are invincible, everyone will have a good mentality.

But when the day comes when authority is challenged, no one can control their emotions.

"Huh." After a long silence, Lang smiled wryly: "He is actually quite conscientious, he didn't take "Today You Want to Marry Me" as the main song, if this song is used as the main song, the sales will be even better than now." ”

No one echoed his words, because the current sales of "Sunny Day" are enough to make them admit that they failed before their new album was released, how much better?

No one wants to think about it. (To be continued.) )
