Chapter 485: Eastern Wizard

485 Wizard of the East

The reason why Chen Beiming agreed to Audrey was firstly because of Anna's request, and secondly, he actually had his own considerations. He is now the undisputed star of Xia Guo, as soon as everyone talks about him, they will say that he is a film and television star, and no one will deny his talent in film and music, but if he puts his vision on the international scale, he still needs to work hard, many people talk about him, and the most common sentence is, "Chen, I know, movie star!" "Not enough attention has been paid to his musical ability.

Although I don't want to admit it, I still have to face the reality that the album "The Moon Represents My Heart" did not sell well in the West.

Of course, more than 10 million copies were sold, and in terms of sales, it was actually a success.

But if you look at it from word of mouth, it is not a success, fans buy this album, most of them go for English songs, as for Chinese songs, many people don't even listen to them.

If people don't even want to listen to it, then how can they talk about influencing them?

Therefore, if you want to export culture, if you want foreign fans to be willing to put down their lofty posture and seriously appreciate Xia Guo's music, the first point is that you have to stand at a very high height, only in this way, people buy your album, even if you don't like that song very much, you will listen to it carefully, and try to discover the excellence in it - after all, this is the album of world-renowned musicians, even those well-known singers in our country are admired, if I don't appreciate it, it can only mean that I have a problem with my ability!

Therefore, Chen Beiming still needs to work hard in this regard.

However, Chen Beiming really doesn't know much about Audrey.

He asked Haruko to go to the market to buy a few Audrey's albums, but unfortunately Haruko ran to several places and didn't buy them, Audrey is only a third-tier singer in the West of the United States after all, and she doesn't have much influence in her country, and it's even worse in Xia Guo, she doesn't even have an album.

So until now, Chen Beiming didn't even know what Audrey's skills were.

Therefore, before Anna came here, he specifically told Anna to bring a few Audrey albums.

"Chen, these are a few albums I've released before." Audrey handed Chen Beiming several boxes of beautifully packaged albums.

Chen Beiming took it and immediately opened it and listened.

Audrey was a little nervous and left the room to go elsewhere.

"Audrey, how's it going?"

"What did Chen say?"

"Does he really have the confidence to make you a first-line singer?"

Audrey had just entered another room, and the singers inside immediately gathered around and asked.

Although Audrey is not a celebrity, she is only a third-tier star, but she is a social master, and she often travels and cruises on major social platforms, so she knows a lot of people and has a lot of friends.

And the people who came over this time were all friends in the same circle, so everyone knew about Audrey.

Hearing everyone's questions, Audrey shrugged her shoulders: "I don't know yet, I just gave the album to Chen." ”

Oh.

Everyone withdrew their gaze.

"Is Chen really as amazing as Anna said?" Someone asked curiously again.

"If Audrey is really popular this time, then I have to ask Chen Bang to help me."

"Yes, I also want to be a first-line singer."

Everyone's hearts are full of anticipation.

Another room.

Chen Beiming listened to an Audrey song, then pressed pause and took off the headphones.

"How? Chen, how is Audrey? Anna immediately asked eagerly.

"I've just listened to a song, and I haven't heard anything yet." Chen Beiming was amused, after thinking about it, he plugged in the headphones again, continued to listen to the music, continued to listen to the following songs, he listened to all the songs in this album, he didn't listen to all the other albums, he listened to a few songs completely, and the rest only listened to the beginning or chorus.

So he only listened for an hour in total.

Seeing him take out the headphones, Anna, who had been waiting impatiently for a long time, pounced on him: "Chen, how is it?" Does Audrey have what it takes to become an A-list singer? ”

Chen Beiming did not answer immediately, but seriously thought about this question.

To tell the truth, Audrey's singing skills are really good, and it can even be said that if you look at it purely from a professional point of view, her singing skills are better than Anna's, and they are much better.

Secondly, the songs in her album are actually okay, although they are not up to the level that can enter the gold song chart, but they are really above the average.

So the reason why Audrey can't become popular is three points, first, although her singing skills are solid, she lacks characteristics, she failed to dig out her own characteristics, and magnified her several times to the extreme, and second, she lacks a representative work that can cause a sensation once it comes out.

In other words, it is mainly because there are too many singers like her in the United States, the competition is fierce, and she can't become popular without her own characteristics.

If a singer's voice lacks a unique character, if a singer's album lacks a classic to help her take off, she can't fly.

Of course, the third reason why she can't become popular may be that she is not lucky enough - Chen Beiming is just guessing, not sure - she can fail to catch up with every pop trend, for example, when Western American jazz music was popular, she was making rock albums, and when Western American country music became popular, she ran to do jazz again.

"Chen, how's it going? What the hell is going on? Anna couldn't help it again, and hugged Chen Beiming's arm and shook it for a while.

Chen Beiming thought for a few more seconds before turning his head to look at Anna: "Anna, is Audrey's luck not very good?" ”

What the?

Anna's eyes widened.

In a moment, like a frightened bunny, she swooped to her feet, rushed out, twisted the door and ran out of the room.

But after a while she returned, pulling Audrey and running back.

"Anna, what's wrong?" Audrey was confused.

Anna pulled Audrey to Chen Beiming and stood up, then looked at Chen Beiming and said, "Chen, you repeat what you just said." ”

Chen Beiming was a little crying and laughing, he just said casually, Audrey's singing skills are good, and the overall level of the album is okay, but she can't become popular, many singers who don't have her strength are more popular than her, so he really can't find too many reasons, so he can only attribute her to bad luck, so he asked casually.

"I asked Anna if Miss Audrey was unlucky?" Chen Beiming replied with a smile.

What Chen Beiming didn't expect was that when Audrey heard this, her eyes widened, and she raised her hands and exclaimed: "God-God-how do you know?" ”

No way? Did you really guess right?

Chen Beiming was also taken aback.

After Audrey came back to her senses, she hurriedly said: "Chen, you are so right, my luck is really bad, very bad, for example, when I don't go out, the sky is clear, and when I first go out, the sun is shining, but after I go out for a while, it rains, I don't happen once or twice, but I often encounter such things." ”

"yes, Chen, so we all gave her a nickname, the Unlucky Queen!" Anna nodded.

A group of singers who had just come in at the door were all stunned when they heard this: "God, isn't it? Chen turned out to be an Oriental wizard? You know it all! ”
