Chapter 781. The pinnacle of the music scene

readx;

In the next three days, Chen Xiaotang worked hard to write songs for Mike, not to mention, in less than a day, he had already written all three songs. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

However, Chen Xiaotang did not stop writing, but wondered if he should make another album. After all, he is also hot in the Hollywood music scene now, so why not strike while the iron is hot?

Do it when you think of it, this is Chen Xiaotang's habit, so he began to make songs for himself like a god.

With his memory, Chen Xiaotang first wrote two songs, one is the theme song of the Oscar movie "When a Man Falls in Love with a Woman" "When Men and Women Love Each Other", and the other is the theme song of the movie "The Age of Innocence" "Romance Outside the Heart". In his previous life, Chen Xiaotang liked these two songs the most, especially when he was drunk, he liked to yell at the many wild mandarin ducks outside the university, "whenamanlovesawoman", and the tone was as sad as it was.

However, these two songs are not enough, and if you want to make a good solo album, you need at least a dozen songs.

Chen Xiaotang didn't bother to use his brains, and directly translated the previous classic Hong Kong love songs into English versions to "fill up", including Zheng Zhongji's "Lovesick is Useless", "Left and Right", and "Your Eyes Betrayed Your Heart" and so on.

It is said that this Zheng Zhongji was the successor of Zhang Xueyou, known as the "God of Songs", both in terms of voice and singing skills, he was the first-class among the first-class, far leaving the singers of the same era half a street. But just when everyone thought that he was going to develop in the music industry for a long time, the Hong Kong music scene encountered an ice age. The recession of the record made this future singer have to go another way and start making movies.

At the beginning, he played some inconsequential gangsters~gangster roles, which was called "electrocution". But gradually, the director discovered his potential comedic talent, especially when Zhou Xingchi had been in trouble for many years and was stepping up for new films. Zheng Zhongji's exaggerated body language and comedic performance. It just satisfies the wishes of many viewers who like comedies.

As a result, the original successor of the "God of Song" became the successor of the "King of Comedy" in the blink of an eye.

He starred in the "Long Wei" series, "Koshihikari Treasure Box", and "Mr. Three Minutes" have been well received, especially in "Pulp Comedy", in which he played a supporting role, he gave full play to his personal performance style, so much so that he won the Hong Kong Film Awards and the Taiwan Golden Horse Awards for Best Supporting Actor, which can be described as the limelight for a while.

Due to the smooth development of the film industry. The successor of the god of songs directly put his focus from singing to acting, which met the requirements of the majority of fans. But the majority of fans who like him can't wait.

Chen Xiaotang is one of the fans of this product, so now he will not hesitate to take out these favorite songs one by one and stuff them into his album.

Looking back, when Chen Xiaotang handed over the three songs to Mike, he said that he was going to release a record album again, which made Mike stunned, "I said, man, you won't target me, right?" I'm about to release an album, but you're doing this? ”

Chen Xiaotang smiled bitterly, "I really don't know this, or I'll postpone it?" ”

"No, man, I'm kidding you. I'm a person who values quality and weight, and now I only have three songs you wrote for me, how embarrassing it is to take them out...... You better go up first, and help me test the water. It's been a long time since I've released a record, and I don't know the shades outside......"

Seeing that Mike was joking like this, Chen Xiaotang did not shirk it, and said with a smile: "Okay, I'll act as a pawn and help you test the waters first." ”

After talking about this, Mike couldn't help but ask Chen Xiaotang about the acquisition of Sony Music in Japan.

Chen Xiaotang didn't expect him to be so concerned, so he simply said that he sent someone to investigate Sony's internal and external financial situation.

Mike nodded, "That's right, what do you Chinese have a saying...... Knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent will not be defeated in a hundred battles...... Am I not mistaken? It means that you have to find out the other party's old bottom, doesn't it...... Haha, now let's find out the details of little Japan, and then kick them in the ass! ”

Looking at Mike's excited appearance, Chen Xiaotang really wondered if this guy was overstressed and had agitation.

Anyway, with the help of King Mike, Chen Xiaotang's latest solo album "Blizzard" has finally been produced and is about to be released.

There is also a small episode in this, when Mike listened to Chen Xiaotang's album sample, his first reaction was that this guy was too selfish and stuffed all the good songs into his album!

Compared with the three songs that Chen Xiaotang helped him write, it can't be compared at all.

In fact, what Chen Xiaotang helped himself create is basically lyrical songs, and what he helps Mike create is all powerful dance music, which is also in line with Mike's identity as a dance king. However, in terms of the meaning of the song, lyrical songs are inherently much more connotative than explosive dance music.

This is like the difference between literary films and kung fu films, the connotation of literary films is something that kung fu films can never reach, even if a person like Wang Jiawei in his previous life, it took ten years of effort to create a "The Grandmaster" in the end, and the reputation is polarized, and it is not popular.

Anyway, just when Hollywood and even the world are about to forget the movies shot by Chen Xiaotang, Chen Xiaotang's latest solo album is finally on the stage.

The album "Blizzard" produced a total of eighteen posters, which is very strong, and this is unprecedented. The first six paragraphs are a total of 100,000 sheets, North America is divided into 60,000, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Japan, and South Korea are 10,000 each.

There are twelve left, each with a new song, and there are only two thousand for one poster, for a total of two thousand four hundred!

The 2,400 limited-edition posters are signed by Chen Xiaotang, which every fan wants to get, and the price is not high, but the black market price is very high!

Interestingly, many of the products, posters and various products related to Chen Xiaotang are almost limited editions, although the prices are not ridiculously high. However, it is not easy to buy it!

Especially with these twelve models, there are only two thousand four in the world!

Of course, these posters are not the purpose, the purpose is to create the peak classic status of Chen Xiaotang's album in an all-round way. For this purpose, he also cooperated with a watch company to make 1,200 special watches. Of course. Still indispensable dolls, even if these dolls are all limited editions this time.

When it comes to limited editions, we can't fail to mention that the year before last, Magic Shadow Entertainment launched Chen Xiaotang, an absolute classic of the highest quality vinyl record. Only a little more than 3,000 of this record were made in total to celebrate the five-year anniversary of Chen Xiaotang's debut. These vinyl records are selling out there until they are flying, and they are still hard to buy, and now their prices have skyrocketed more than five times.

"The Blizzard" is the title of the album, but it is also the title of one of the songs.

This song is definitely Chen Xiaotang's original, and there is no reference or copying of other people's songs. And when composing this song, Chen Xiaotang heard the opinions of Huang Zhan and Gu Jiahui, the "two brilliant saints" of the Hong Kong music scene, and then asked Mike Mike, the king of the world. Jackson's suggestion. After many modifications and polishes of the melody and lyrics, this was created with great painstaking work.

It can be said that this song Chen Xiaotang has played his highest level, love and family affection and friendship are all included in it, expressing that in fact, the world and love are instantaneous, and people should try to pay more attention to life!

In the MV of this song, there is a set of shots of Chen Xiaotang driving to the hospital to see his mother for the last time on a snowy night. Just because on the road to save a car that had been in an accident. I delayed a little, but I didn't see my mother!

All fans know it. "Blizzard" is not only an expression of Chen Xiaotang's expression of the world, but also a cry for true love in the world, just like the lyrics sing: "The night of the blizzard, you can't stop stopping; Even if I can't see the vast expanse ahead, I will always believe that great love knows no bounds......"

In order to do this, Chen Xiaotang burst out in an instant with the most refined voice to shock everyone's hearts, and then continued the singing forever with his unique singing style!

The introduction of the song is simple: cherish everyone around you. Don't wait until you lose to regret it!

The promotion of this album is not simple: "Rafi Chen, the most perfect album so far. The best interpretation and creative ......"

In Asia, Li Zongsheng, who is the number one Chinese music critic in Hong Kong and Taiwan, commented: "Chen Xiaotang used to have a Chinese album "Exaggerated", and this English album "Blizzard" is a huge improvement from the lyrics to the interpretation. If Chen Xiaotang was just a high-spirited 'exaggerated boy' in the past, then now he is a 'storm man' with full mature charm. His singing voice shows this change. It also shows the change of mentality!"

"The sound of heaven, Rafi Chen defeated all the singers of the year with one song......" The New York Daily exclaimed with a "dragon rising" gesture.

"If there is perfection in the world, then I firmly believe that Rafite's Blizzard is perfect!" This is a comment from another newspaper, apparently obsessed with Chen Xiaotang's music.

"As a staunch supporter of the English language. This is my first time. I'm afraid it's also the last time to remind everyone. Rafi Chen's "Blizzard" has left many authentic English albums far behind...... No matter what, we can all experience the fluttering love from the lyrics and melodies, the all-pervasive love, and that's the perfect song!" A Hollywood music critic who has always been a big name can't help but openly admit his failures.

"Blizzard" is perfect as a song and perfect as an album. Especially in addition to Chen Xiaotang's original song, his two songs "When Men and Women Love Each Other" and "Love Outside the Heart" borrowed from his previous life were warmly welcomed by North American fans.

You must know that these two songs are almost classic classics among Oscar movie songs, which best represent the love between men and women, and are also the most in line with the tastes of European and American fans. So some Hollywood critics exclaimed, "Oh God, this can't be!" When we listened to these two songs, our first reaction was that Rafi-chan should be a native of America! Because he has such perfect creative depth! ”

A "Blizzard" touched the world. Touched the world with endless love. If there was only one album in 1986, it would have to be "The Blizzard"!

If only the above three songs are excellent, it would be fine, but what is even more unbelievable is that almost all of Chen Xiaotang's albums are high-quality.

"Lovesickness is Useless" tells the story of a lovesick person, who can only have a stupid crush in the face of the girl he likes, but he doesn't dare to tell it. It wasn't until later that the girl became someone else's wife, and looking back he understood that true love should be caught when it comes. Otherwise, lovesickness is useless.

"Dilemma", this song is wonderfully interpreted as a realistic song. Friendship on one side, love on the other, in the middle of the two, are you also in a dilemma? Life is so short, whether love or friendship is important, this kind of discussion is thought-provoking. Especially when Chen Xiaotang sang this song, he communicated the kind of beer between men and men. The scene of a man and a woman drinking red wine and communicating makes a very detailed comparison. The MV shot was shot in situ in the song "Hotel California", which is familiar to all the big guys, which caused nostalgic resonance among North American audiences......

"Your Eyes Betrayed Your Heart", the story of this song goes without saying, the title alone is already a very good "one-sentence story". The point is that Chen Xiaotang, the MV of this song, ingeniously invited the diva Madonna to co-star with him.

In Chen Xiaotang's opinion, Madonna, who has the potential to be a~ woman, is most suitable for playing this kind of watery poplar and a female character who is easy to betray men. And Madonna really lived up to expectations. boldly show her sexually ~ charming and seductive side in the MV, when she turns her back to everyone. A pair of **completely naked~ exposed, and then bending down and slowly removing the thong, is enough to make many male fans bleed; What's more, she and Chen Xiaotang also have a lingering emotional scene lying on the bed, in which the frequent eye seduction is even more ~ soul ~ swing ~ spirit, so that many fans regard this MV as a rare little "movie".

Twelve songs, each of which can be called a classic, is the characteristic of the new era. If it had been before, these twelve songs would have been paired with some ordinary songs. It can definitely be made into twelve albums, and it can still be a big seller. However, now it is different, all singers are no longer about quantity, but about quality.

However, there is only one that can do it as strong as this album. No company wants to do that. Including the Shadow. If it weren't for Chen Xiaotang to help him set up a peak monument, this album could have been made into three albums, and it was also an album that could be a big hit.

Twelve songs, or like "The Blizzard", are magnificent. Or such as "When a Man and a Man Love Each Other" has become an eternal classic. Possess unprecedented spirit. Or such as "Outside the Heart", sad and moving. Or such as "Lovesick is Useless", tactful and delicate. Or for example, in "Left and Right", Chen Xiaotang's self-talk singing method is quite the essence of Western opera. There is also "Your Eyes Betrayed Your Heart" and other artistic conceptions full of oriental style.

This is a perfect album, a classic that Chen Xiaotang himself is difficult to surpass. Only a world-class superstar like him has such a bearing and makes such an excellent work.

Chen Xiaotang's record is not limited to this. He has created a legend of several songs on the charts in the same period, the global charts are full of Chen Xiaotang's new songs, and the song "Blizzard" has even created a miracle of three consecutive championships on TV, radio, and newspapers, leaving many original English albums far behind.

Especially as a Chinese, a Hong Kong star who has only come to Hollywood for less than a year, Chen Xiaotang's renewed energy explosion has made the North American singers who originally underestimated him no longer look down on him.

Even our pop king Mike secretly sighed, damn it, this Raffi is too capable, fortunately we sent the film with him, otherwise it would be a shame to lose a lot of hair!

Within a month of its release, the album "Blizzard" came out, with sales exceeding one million in North America, becoming a well-deserved diamond record; In the Asian market, mainly Hong Kong, Taiwan, Japan, and South Korea, it has broken through 5 million, setting a new record for the highest number of Chinese singers in history, and then becoming the strongest selling super diamond record in history, an insurmountable peak.

Who else is qualified to challenge his position?

King Mike?

Diva: Madonna?

Maybe they are still the pinnacle of the pinnacle now, but in the future, no one can say......

And those critics who are known as the judges of the music industry have given different evaluations of Chen Xiaotang's proud record performance.

Dove critic: "This 'Blizzard' has brought fresh blood to the Hollywood music scene, and its impressive sales performance also speaks to Rafi Chen's breathtaking talent. If China has such miracles as the Great Wall and the Terracotta Army, then now we must add one, and that is the record of Lafite Chen! Yes, he is a miracle, a miracle from the Far East! As for what other surprises he can bring to all of us in the future, why don't we wait and see? ”

Hawkish critic "God bless the United States, and our poor music scene is being attacked by outsiders, this is a huge test for us, a test of whether we have the determination and perseverance to drive out this foreign invasion culture, although his songs are really good, but I want everyone to think about it carefully, every time you buy one of his records, it is equivalent to donating ten dollars to the other party, we American people are thousands, do we really want to raise tigers?!" ”

Pessimistic critic: "The Chinese dragon has successfully counterattacked the Hollywood music scene!" While we were still waiting to celebrate Christmas, a star from China slapped us hard again and told us that he could have fun here! Yes, he is Rafi Chen of the "Blizzard" album, a Chinese with black eyes and black hair! We American singers are embarrassed in front of him, and we have no ability to protect our own record market! If there is an invasion called a record, then there is no doubt that he is invading our territory! ”

Optimistic critic: "The United States is a multiracial country that needs constant cultural integration. However, Rafi Chen's "Blizzard" gives us a good opportunity to integrate cultures. In particular, the truth, goodness, and beauty embodied in his songs are the purpose for which we believe in God. True love is everywhere, just like the great love in the song! (To be continued.)
