Chapter 314: Merlin Records' Publicity Plan

After the release of "Because of Love", some people laughed and some cried.

Coupled with the popularity of the album and the full topic, after the release of "Because of Love", countless netizens auditioned and bought.

On Weibo and in the circle of friends, many netizens listened to this song and recalled the good past.

Someone was defeated by reality and lost to time.

There are also people who persevere to the end and reap happiness.

But no matter what the outcome is, the memories of my youth will always stop somewhere in my heart and will not be touched at ordinary times.

After listening to "Because of Love", many people turned up their memories.

Weibo topics also swiped the screen because of this song.

[I can't find the CDs from the past, and I can't find the person, but I'm still grateful for the goodness.] 】

[If I had been brave at the beginning, maybe the children would have played soy sauce now.] 】

[I like this song, and the first lyrics are written in my heart.] When I was in college, listening to songs in class with that person was one person with one headphone. Looking back now, it was a good time. 】

After the release of "Because of Love", netizens naturally wanted to compare "Because of Love" and "One Life and One Couple".

There are all kinds of opinions, some think "Because of Love" is good, and some think "One Life, One Couple" is good.

[There is one thing to say, both songs are actually good, but "One Life" is like a castle in the air, and the story told by the lyrics is more like a film and television drama. In reality, how can there be so many lives and lives, liking someone, sometimes it is an impulse, a beautiful impulse. This "Because of Love" is a little more down-to-earth, and the lyrics are very delicately written. 】

[Obviously, "One Life, One Couple" is better, the lyrics are gorgeous, and the love story told is more elegant. 】

[Although the two songs are both love songs and duets, they express themselves in different directions.] "One Life" is indeed more like a film and television drama song, and the story has a sense of distance. It's good, it's good, but in fact, what the lyrics talk about doesn't actually happen around you. "Because of Love" is written about our own past, at least the first line of lyrics, it reminds me a lot. 】

[My boyfriend and I have been away for a long time, and we have tacitly reduced contact, but I mustered up the courage after listening to "Because of Love". Now that I know that he hasn't changed, I'm going to go to the city where he works after graduation. Thank you. 】

[Actually, the two songs are good in their own way, and there is no need to compare. "One Life" is more suitable for people who have never been in love, who have not experienced it, imaginary love and life are always so far away. "Because of Love" is closer to life, and those who have experienced it are more touched. 】

[Although "One Life" is good, this type of song does lack feelings, and the age of the king should have more experience of life. In contrast, what "Because of Love" expresses is more down-to-earth. I bought both albums, they were both good songs, and they were both worth it. 】

Regarding the evaluation of the two songs, there are mixed reviews.

However, most listeners think that both songs are good, and the difference is only which one they prefer.

……

In the Merlin Records headquarters.

When Fang Xing's new song was released, the senior management of Merlin Records had been paying attention to the dynamics of the song in the conference room.

As soon as "Because of Love" was released, the senior management of Merlin Records listened to it for the first time.

In the conference room, the song was played repeatedly.

Once, twice, three times......

It was cycled four or five times, and no one spoke.

Chen Lipeng knocked on the table and said, "Let's talk about our opinions." What do you think about this song? ”

In fact, he himself is also from a musical family, and his ability in music appreciation is not low.

However, after so many years in business, he is still accustomed to handing over the work of analyzing music to professionals.

A senior Merlin record executive looked at the lyrics on his phone, pondered for a moment, and then said: "Judging from the sense of hearing, this song is quite interesting." ”

He used more euphemistic words, only saying that it was pleasant.

After all, this is a competitor's song, and the senior executives of Merlin Records present are reluctant to praise this song in their hearts.

"The first sound is really good, after a few loops, there is no boredom after listening to too much for the time being. In terms of musical quality, it is the top level of Turquoise Records. Another producer from the music production department took over the topic and said.

After discussing a few words, everyone gradually turned their attention to Xu Shangyan.

This time, the producer of Tianwang's new album is Xu Shangyan, so he is the boss of this competition.

As the head producer of Merlin Records, the senior executives present all wanted to hear Xu Shangyan's opinion.

Chen Lipeng also set his eyes on Xu Shangyan and asked, "What about Mr. Xu?" What do you think of this song? ”

Xu Shangyan listened expressionlessly, put down the pen in his hand at this time, and replied: "Fang Xing's strength is indeed good, and Liang Yusong has indeed picked up a treasure."

"The quality of the song is very high, and the lyrics and singing are almost perfect.

It was rumored before that Yao Liying renewed her contract with Songshi Records because of this song.

"Listening to this song now, this rumor should be true, if not the main reason, this song should be a condition for renewing the contract."

Yao Liying was already a first-line female singer a few years ago, and her singing skills and voice are top-notch.

Therefore, the expiration of Yao Liying's contract is not just a matter of Songshi Records.

In fact, when Yao Liying's contract was about to expire, many record companies approached.

The pop music circle is so big, in fact, the singers and executives of major record companies know each other.

There is competition between record labels, but not between record labels and singers.

Therefore, Yao Liying's contract with Songshi Records expired, and many record companies contacted them, hoping to sign Yao Liying, and the conditions offered were also very generous.

From Yao Liying's point of view, whether she leaves Songshi Records or not, she will be in contact with other record companies.

Because, even if you don't sign with other record companies, you can use this way to increase the bargaining chips in contract renewal negotiations.

Of course, about the renewal of the contract, it is not Yao Liying who talks about it herself, she has an agent.

These things are the agent's job and don't need to be talked about by her personally.

Therefore.

Signing a first-line singer who has become famous can save the cost of training.

Naturally, Merlin Records will try it too.

Therefore, the artist director of Merlin Records has actually been in contact with Yao Liying's agent.

When Mailin Records even contacted Yao Liying's agent, he promised that after Yao Liying signed with Mailin Records, she could cooperate with Tianwang, and Xu Shangyan was the producer, and even promised to praise her for further progress in the music world.

Yao Liying is already a first-line singer, what does it mean to go further?

At least it has to be super first-line to go further, if the ambition is more arbitrary, even the highest position.

Of course, when it comes to the position of a first-line singer, it is not so easy to go further, the right time and place are indispensable.

Therefore, it is impossible for Yao Liying to believe all the cakes drawn by Merlin Records.

Even if Merlin Records really wants to praise her, it's not like she can succeed if she wants to.

Super first-line singers, even divas, this is no longer something that can be done by manpower, sometimes it has to rely on life.

Regarding the renewal of Yao Liying and Songshi Records, there are many rumors in the circle.

Some of these rumors are related to this song "Because of Love".

These rumors are not a secret in the circle.

Xu Shangyan has heard it for a long time, and now when he hears this song "Because of Love", he suddenly begins to believe these rumors.

He sighed: "It is rumored that this song is a condition for Yao Liying's contract renewal, and after listening to it, I feel that this song was prepared for her from the beginning."

"The voices of the two people fit this song very well.

"Although a long time ago, I felt that Fang Xing's voice and Yao Liying's voice matched very well, and the cooperation should have a good effect.

"Now I hear that they are working together, and it is better than expected.

"It's an opponent, but there's nothing wrong with facing up to the strength of the opponent.

"This song is really competitive, so we can't hide our promotional plan, we have to start it quickly.

"Otherwise, it may be surpassed by this song."

Since "You in the Rain" was squeezed out of the first place on the hot song list by "Chrysanthemum Terrace", Xu Shangyan has been much more cautious.

Therefore, after listening to "Because of Love" this time, he raised his evaluation of this song and suggested that Chen Lipeng immediately start the promotion plan.

……

If Xu Shangyan's expectation is the same, after the release of "Because of Love", the discussion will follow, and it will quickly go out of the circle.

Weibo, live broadcast platforms, and major short video platforms are seeing this song.

With Yao Liying's help, album sales skyrocketed again.

"Because of Love" also rushed to the hot song list at a very fast speed, and began to pose a threat to the songs at the top of the list.

Now, the first song on the hot song list is Tan Zhiguan and Qi Xiuna's love song duet "One Life, One Couple", and the second is "Chrysanthemum Terrace".

The popularity of "Chrysanthemum Terrace" has been very high, and it has not even decreased compared to the previous week.

It's just that "One Life, One Couple" has just been released for a week, and it is a duet of love songs by the king and queen, coupled with the high quality of the song, under multiple factors, this song has topped the hot song list.

Now, "Because of Love" has rushed to the hot song list, making "One Life, One Couple" another competitor.

The senior management of Merlin Records stares at the popularity of "One Life, One Couple" every day, for fear that something will happen.

……

The other side.

After the release of "Because of Love", it caused a lot of related topics.

When Lu Xianger participated in the "Chuanliu" series of activities, she was often blocked by entertainment reporters, and every time the reporter asked a question, she would ask Fang Xing.

During the release period of Fang Xing's new album, there are naturally problems related to the album.

Entertainment reporter: "Miss Lu, what do you think of "Because of Love"? ”

Lu Xiang'er: "The song is very good, I like it very much." ”

Entertainment reporter: "But this song is sung by Fang Xing and Yao Liying, don't you feel unhappy?" They're singing about love, do you ever feel like you're a bystander? ”

Lu Xiang'er looked confused, and didn't expect this kind of problem to occur at all: "No, I also participated in this song." And I've also sung a demo. ”

The entertainment reporter seemed to have caught the news breaking point and continued to ask: "Really? Did you sing the sample of "Because of Love"? ”

Lu Xiang'er was still too tender, nodded and replied sincerely: "I should be the first person to listen to this song, I have recorded a version of the sample ......"

Speaking of this, she spread her hands helplessly and continued: "But he said that version was more ordinary, and he didn't use that version." ”

The entertainment reporter held back a smile and asked, "Miss Lu, in this way, Fang Xing thinks you sing very badly, right?" Aren't you angry then? ”

Lu Xiang'er: "Why should I be angry? I'm not a vocal student, I sing averagely, and there's nothing I can't admit, right? ”

Entertainment reporter: "So you are learning violin, if Fang Xing thinks that your violin is average, will you be angry?" ”

Lu Xiang'er blinked her eyes and said with a smile: "At least a little better than him playing the piano." ”

Entertainment reporter: "In other words, you think Fang Xing's piano playing is very average, is that so?" ”

"Huh?"

Lu Xiang'er was a little confused, she didn't expect the reporter to understand from this angle, and hurriedly waved her hand and said, "That's not true, he plays the piano very well." ”

When she said this, she hesitated a little, feeling that she was praising too well, as if she was not modest enough, but if she said that she didn't play well, she was afraid of being scribbled by reporters.

Entertainment reporter: "Seeing Fang Xing and other female singers singing love songs, are you a little unhappy in your heart?" ”

Lu Xiang'er shook her head: "No." There are very few singers who sing love songs in chorus, right? ”

After she said this, she suddenly felt terrible.

If the reporter goes back and lists the couples who have collaborated on love songs in the music scene, it will definitely attract a lot of public opinion.

At this time, her brokerage team hurriedly came up and interrupted the reporter's question: "Thank you for your attention, please try to ask questions about Chuanliu products, thank you." ”

……

After the entertainment reporter's interview ended, the news came out that afternoon.

[Lu Xianger sang a sample, but her singing skills were too poor and she was criticized by Fang Xing. 】

[The violinist expressed dissatisfaction with a singer's piano level, and the relationship between the two was in jeopardy. 】

[In the pop music world, how many real couples sing love songs? ] 】

When Lu Xianger saw these press releases come out, she was stunned.

She obviously didn't answer like that, but as soon as the title came out, something was wrong.

However, these press releases are not completely out of thin air, and it is difficult to refute them.

Moreover, if it is really refuted on the Internet, it will be caught and set off a bigger public opinion.

Lu Xianger did sing a sample of "Because of Love".

However, that time it was just recorded and played, Fang Xing had high requirements for the sample, and he really felt that the sample was average, so he found a professional singer from the company to sing it again.

At that time, Fang Xing did say that she was at the KTV level.

But it was obviously a joke between the two of them, and she didn't think it was criticism.

Besides, she is not a professional singer, and the KTV level is originally a very pertinent evaluation.

But as soon as the press release came out, it became that she was criticized by Fang Xing.

There is also a saying that the relationship between the two is in jeopardy.

The more Lu Xianger watched it, the more confused she became, and more importantly, she was worried that these news would affect the sales of Fang Xing's new album.

She was involved in the production and promotion of the new album and knew how important this album was.

So, she picked up her phone a little nervously and called: "That...... I seem to have gotten into trouble, and when the reporter asks me a question, I don't answer like that, but when the press release comes out, it's completely different. ”

Fang Xing heard the nervousness in her tone, and said with a smile: "Don't be nervous, if the reporter doesn't write like this, how can it attract people's attention?" It's good to get used to it. Moreover, I have been hacked for so long, am I still afraid that journalists will continue to hack? ”

"Won't it really affect the sales of the album?" Lu Xianger is still most worried about this problem.

"No, maybe we can increase sales." When Fang Xing saw the news, he almost laughed out loud, feeling that these reporters were really too good at nonsense.
