Chapter 256: CD Wars
Spring and white snow, the lower Riba people.
There are many forms of art, and the levels are uneven. High-level and high-grade art forms may not be welcomed by the public, and simple and plain art forms may not necessarily lack a high-end market.
It's not a hard thing to understand, for example, what is the most avant-garde art form in modern civilization? It's definitely performance art and abstract art, that thing is really... I can't even understand it if I want to spray, let alone appreciate it.
What about the most simple and plain art form? I think it is more diverse, and the most representative ones should be the folk songs of all countries and nationalities in the world with their own national characteristics.
Under the modern cultural system, no one has created folk songs, but the national style has not been lost, and some excellent folk songs with rich connotations are still widely circulated, among which the most widely circulated is the Mongolian steppe style, and the other is the Northeast Tuhi wind.
The Mongolian steppe style was popular relatively early, probably in the early part of the new century, and the trend swept across the land of China, which is characterized by a long and distant style of music, and the soundtrack is dominated by Mongolian string music, with heavy melody and light rhythm. The singing voice is ethereal, and the singing skills contain obvious biomimetic skills, with a long bright voice like a wolf's roar, a sheep-like trembling overtone, and obvious life elements in it, such as some shouting and humming.
The lyrics of the Mongolian steppe style songs are also very distinctive, which can be summarized into three points: first, there must be scenery, second, there must be food, and third, there must be small animals.
The scenery includes clouds, grass, and sky. The food includes milk tea, milk wine, and milk cakes. Small animals include sheep, horses, yaks, girls and men.
It's basically the same when you find any song.
Under the complete music system of Mongolian steppe wind, there is also a derivation of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau wind and the snow-capped mountain snowy wind, these categories of songs are similar in style, all by the lyrics to distinguish, the Mongolian steppe wind does not have the high mountains into the clouds, the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau wind does not have the boundless grassland, and there is no horse running man in the snowy mountain wind.
The second type of popular folk style is called Northeast Tuhi Style.
This style appeared relatively late, and the popularity was relatively late, and it was only a dozen years after it became an industry.
It is characterized by being full of strong Northeast two-person turns, the style of music comes completely from the two-person transfer system, relying on the replacement of soundtrack instruments to try to get rid of the shadow of two-person turns, which can be limited by the professional level, and the operation is more nondescript, but it is not as distinctive as the traditional two-person turn.
The characteristics of this kind of song are in the music itself: monotonous melody, rough arrangement, abused musical instruments and plain and vulgar lyrics, the theme of the song is not only love is brotherhood, whether it is love or brother is related to drinking, it is estimated that the string is not good to rhyme, otherwise it can be applied.
The second feature is the singer, the singer of the Northeast Tuhi style song, without exception, all of them are incomplete and the music theory does not make sense, not to mention the stave, you take a brief score to show them, they all have to ask you in a stunned manner: "Dry clams?
The layman of music makes them lack the basic aesthetic appreciation ability, and use the same brainwashing melody as a popular trend, creating a large number of vulgar works, and constantly lowering the average score of Northeast folk art.
Fortunately, the popularity of this kind of song is not widespread, and outside the northeast towns, the post-70s generation and upwards are basically not listened to.
But this kind of music is terrible, in the northeast towns, people from the post-70s generation to the bottom are basically listening!
What a huge group this is, from the germination to the rise, in just over ten years, it has become the most concentrated and growing fan base in the world to the form of music.
This is the conclusion drawn under the statistics of Internet big data, which can be consulted by many music and art platforms.
Now I have entered the entertainment industry, and by mistake, I have taken the lead in standing out from the artists of the same period by releasing singles, and I have really stood in the ranks of first-line superstars by my achievements. At times like these, the most important thing I need to do is position myself.
There is no future without goals, there is no progress without plans, and goals and plans are meaningless without positioning.
Positioning is different from character design, character design is the personality and moral life and social habits of the artist, and positioning is based on the work and artistic style, selecting the main audience group and the inevitably opposing resistance group.
After some investigation and careful consideration, my team and I finally made a decision to position my songs as leading the Northeast local style in the new era, eliminating the three vulgar contents, and creating a new style of Northeast rural folk rap.
This positioning not only hugs the thigh of the Northeast Tuhi pop culture, but also draws a clear line with vulgar performance forms such as shouting microphones, and with the positive intention of moving closer to the mainstream and pursuing progress and sublimation, which is a very clever approach.
The relevant positioning information, at the same time as the two singles spread on the Internet, was immediately driven by the intervention of the water army. I personally instructed how to control the key rhythm points, and took them to collectively learn the operation methods of popular films in recent years, such as "Wu Ji", "The Return of the Great Sage", "Let the Bullets Fly", and "Sewing Machine Band".
These movies have a common feature, that is, they are not very good, but the water army is very professional and professional, relying on forced interpretation and kneeling and licking, these works have successfully sent these works to the god position, the most representative of which is "Let the Bullets Fly".
I asked the sailors not to innovate, just copy the hype of "Let the Bullets Fly" completely.
In my songs, all the parts that don't make sense and don't connect smoothly are all interpreted as stream of consciousness.
All the places where the performances are too radical and too strong are all said to be exaggerated drama stream acting skills created by the singer himself.
All the places where the calves are pretended and obviously not pretended, all are forcibly interpreted, and you can just find a social problem with a welt and lean on.
For example, in the song "My Dad is Back", the lyrics can be interpreted into more than a dozen essays. At the beginning, you can ask, in what person is the title of the song said to whom, and what kind of emotion is expressed? Then the answer is given immediately, this sentence can be said to multiple characters in a variety of person, and it can show a variety of emotions in different contexts.
For example, when talking to Uncle Wang, it can be an irresponsible revenge on his biological father, a shameless warning to the next-door neighbor, or a hint of flattery and flattery under the oppression of special family and neighborhood relations. Subconsciously, it is also a challenge and accusation against the cage marriage in modern society.
All this, anyway, as long as it can be pasted a little bit, don't be afraid to go far, there are millions of people who listen to the song, and the people who like it are all likes, and those who don't like it can be counted as one. Those who can't be fooled, in order to refute their opinions, will inevitably brush up on comments, listen to songs to find loopholes, and invisibly increase the popularity of the single and create topics, and the result is that they only make money and do not lose.
After some shameless operation, my single and I became the well-deserved NO.1 in the entertainment industry for a while, not to mention the additional benefits, only CD sales and online copyright sales brought me a net profit of more than 30 million in one month.
If you add the commission of copyright advertising on online platforms and the commission of title advertising of various official media and self-media, the total revenue easily exceeds 50 million. This is still the case that I haven't received any endorsements and interviews for variety shows, and if there are no various restrictions on the company's contract, it will not be a problem for me to make 100 million this month.
In addition to these intuitive benefits, a new industrial chain is also rapidly taking shape. The source of this industrial chain came from the widow's village of Wantaizi Township, Beitai Township, and the 500,000 sets of CDs I peddled to them.
In the Internet era, it is easy for people with similar likes and dislikes to find a place to meet and communicate, and groups are definitely the most convenient platform.
These widows in the Widows' Village have several such platforms, with a combined population of more than 10 million. Of these 10 million people, 99 percent are widows, and the remaining 1 percent are prospective widows.
The story of me becoming the head of the widow's village has long been widely spread among these platforms, and the photo of 800 widows and 800 spare tires has long become a totem of faith in these circles, and in their eyes, the event I contributed to is like a miracle, and they see the future and hope in me. Invisibly, my willingness to act has become the practical action of these once confused and lonely women to pursue the future.
Buy my CD, you can listen to my voice, buy my CD, you can strengthen your beliefs, buy my CD, you can wake up your sleeping heart, buy my CD, and you can watch the nourishing Tiantuan photo album~
Here's the point.,"Nourishing Heavenly Group Photo Book 2.0" has 240 photo photos of the remaining 8 members except me and Oiran.,An average of 30 photo photos per member.。 I have a random copy of each CD, and I need to buy at least 30 CDs to get all the photos of any one member.
In order to increase the circulation and interaction of culture, I specially issued a statement that the photos in the photo album will be personal items after they are sold, and they are allowed to be freely traded and exchanged.
But they didn't know that when I printed this batch of photo photos, I deliberately underprinted a large part of the high-quality photos. For example, the shadow photo of Oriental Fuqin Beach No. 1, I only issued 100 copies. This photo has been on the market for a month, and now it has been fried to 88 yuan a piece.
There are also double pose photos of the Wen brothers numbered 11 and 22, with silver line strokes, that is, the legendary silver card, only 10 are printed, and in the fixed fan base of small milk dogs, the highest price of 100,000 yuan cannot be received.
There is only a legendary No. 88 photo, which is a gold card that nourishes the top brand of the heavenly group, in order to buy this photo, fans not only buy a large number of original CDs to draw lotteries, but also open the demand to the black market, the price soared from 500,000 straight lines to 5 million, and the black market affectionately called this gold card the bitcoin of the entertainment industry.
It's a pity that they can't buy it no matter how high the price is, because I haven't printed a single card at all.
It's my principle to sell my art, not to sell my body.
I've been sticking to this principle for decades, and to this day I feel like I can't keep it anymore.
Just now, Sister Ruo called me and said that the company's boss wanted to see me, and she didn't clear anything specifically, but she only knew that the boss was also collecting photo album cards recently, and now she was short of a No. 88 gold card.
