Chapter 119: The Song Selected for the Textbook
A few days passed in a flash, August ended and September officially began.
Song Yu thought that she could play some new tricks after having a girlfriend, but Zhao Yan is a career-oriented strong woman, who doesn't eat soft rice, but eats hard.
In the Star Dream Era, they took on a lot of variety shows, and they were busy playing songs and going on shows every day.
To be honest, with the current fame of "Persian Cat", there is no need to do this at all.
But Zhao Yan and others just debuted, and their results were so good, they couldn't sleep with excitement, so they simply went on variety shows to make money.
Ordinary idols play songs on variety shows, and many times they pay for them themselves.
It's just that the Star Dream Era has been too popular recently, so many TV stations have taken the initiative to invite them.
The happiest is naturally Xingdong Entertainment.
There is another combination that can make money under the hands.
In addition, they ushered in a new round of recruitment.
"Persian Cat" proves that Song Yu's songwriting really has no restrictions.
In other words, he can write songs for anyone.
Many singers who are unwilling or whose contracts have expired have contacted Xingdong Entertainment.
Of course, not only singers, but also songwriters.
For Song Yu, the songwriter who has already achieved fame is at most emotional, and another genius has appeared.
But what hasn't worked out yet?
They felt that Song Yu was simply their idol.
Any song can be written, and any song can be popular.
He is now the music director of Star Motion Entertainment, and if he mixes under him, not to mention learning all of them, learning a tenth of them is enough to benefit them a lot.
This also led to the fact that Song Yu recently received more than five hundred resumes.
Outrageous and reasonable.
After all, there are really a lot of practitioners in the music world.
It's just that there are so many, and he can't see it, and in the end he decides to let go.
A company, especially a large company, has hundreds of artists.
Star Entertainment will eventually do the same.
Song Yu can't be busy, and he can't write songs.
His current idea is that the company is recruiting, and he picks a few singers to write songs.
Other singers may be envious, but more often than not, they wait with hope.
As long as they are in Xingdong Entertainment, one day new songs will be their turn.
Besides, with the growth of the composition department, there will be a lot of good songs, so that Song Yu will not be alone.
After this round of recruitment, Xingdong Entertainment is not only a top-notch, but at least a medium-sized entertainment company, and has great development potential.
September 1.
Song Yu's physical album was released.
It only took five days to sell two million copies, which shocked the music world again.
There can still be such sales in this era, which shows that Song Yu already has the fame and treatment of the heavenly king.
Affected by this, the three songs "Nocturne", "East Wind Breaking" and "Fairy Tale" actually returned to the top ten, although they did not enter the top five, and they did not stay full for two hours, but they were still scary.
Two million is the highest physical album sales in the last five years.
And further on, there is an even more outrageous nine million, which is also the record holder to this day.
The singer who set this record is called Zhou Ting.
And he can write songs and compose music.
In Song Yu's view, Zhou Ting is undoubtedly the son of luck in this world, and his achievements as a singer are terrifying.
He is recognized as the king of pop music in Great Xia.
He debuted at the end of the physical album era, selling nine million on his second album, raising the record by four million.
Digital albums then replaced physical albums, and he remained untouched.
The third digital album sold 100 million sales.
He was the first singer to do it.
At this time, singers in the industry realized the potential of the Internet for the first time, and then sales continued to rise, entering a new era.
By the fifth album, five years ago, it had sold an exaggerated record of 200 million.
After that, Zhou Ting never sang again, and fell into the state of infinite ace pigeon.
Song Yu had heard his songs.
There are two or three that are no worse than "Nocturne".
This is also normal.
How can such an achievement be achieved without top-notch strength?
To be honest, Song Yu was quite excited after knowing Zhou Ting.
The only person in this world who can defeat him is probably himself, the opener.
He now especially hopes that Zhou Ting can release a new album to touch the pinnacle of his previous life.
If he defeats him, even if Song Yu doesn't have a Golden Sound Award or a Rose Award, then he is still a Heavenly King.
One more thing this week.
The eighth issue of "The Masked Singer".
Bai Xiang participated under the code name Bai Jingjing.
Song Yu thought of the name.
Although he didn't sing a new song, he narrowly won the weekly championship and advanced to the semifinals.
The end of the eighth issue also means that Song Yu has to prepare a new song.
"Teacher Song, I haven't seen you for a long time, I miss it very much."
Duan Yue reappeared in front of Song Yu with a smile on his face.
This is not the same as it used to be.
I haven't seen him for a month, and Song Yu's status is rising slowly.
With the endorsement of the Literary Association, anyone who is well-informed can guess that he may want to join the Literary Association and become an honorary member.
Speaking of membership, the literary and artistic associations are roughly divided into five levels.
The first level, which is also the lowest, is the honorary member, that is, a name, with no real power.
Although it is the lowest, it is not to be underestimated.
Most of the people who can get to this point are first-class musicians, such as Yu Wenxian, Bai Xiang, Wang Zhi and others.
The second level further up is full membership, which means that you have become a member of the literary and artistic associations completely.
Most of these people have contributed to the development of entertainment, such as old artists, various instrumentalists and so on.
The latter three levels are more special, and they belong to the official positions of the Literary and Art Association, such as Sun Su and others.
If you want to join, you need to have a very troublesome procedure, and generally speaking, those who are more salty will not apply.
At most, you can be a full member.
Why is Song Yu speculated to be an honorary member, but not an informal member.
The reason is that he is too young.
In the entertainment industry, qualifications and capital are undoubtedly the thickest barriers.
If you want to break, you have to have a monstrous talent.
But Song Yu still didn't show enough.
If they knew that he was favored by Yan Shao, it would be another matter.
"Director Duan, it's a pleasure to see you again."
Song Yu shook hands with him, and said hello to screenwriter Gu Xing, photographer Zhang Juan and others.
Zhang Juan, who is his fan, was so excited that his face turned red.
After the greetings, let's get to the point.
"Mr. Song, now I will talk about the rules and themes of the semi-finals and finals."
Duan Yue said.
The reason why the finals were revealed in advance is naturally to give the singers more time to prepare in order to present the best results.
Liao Jian's expectations for the final are very high, hoping to break a new record.
"In the semi-finals, the competition system has changed, in order to make it more exciting, the program team adopted a big melee to determine the four singers to advance to the finals."
Song Yu secretly said that this thing has become a masked version of "I Am a Singer"?
But he didn't say anything, changing it like this is indeed more interesting than before, and the pressure on the singer has also increased.
After all, you're not going to beat one person this time, you're going to beat four.
In the past, you can rely on luck in pairs, and if you are lucky, you will be promoted when you meet a weak one, but now you rely purely on strength.
"The grand finals format is divided into two rounds, the first round is drawn for two groups to face each other, and the remaining two people in the second round compete for the championship."
Small kiosk
The finals are back to two-on-two.
First, after entering the finals, everyone is very strong, and there is no luck.
The second is the simplest reason, pulling time and ratings.
After Duan Yue finished talking about the competition system, he began to talk about the theme again.
"The theme of the semi-finals is ancient style or Chinese style songs, and you can't use high notes. There is no theme for the finals, free to play. ”
Song Yu pondered slightly.
The appearance of the archaic style is not unexpected.
In this world, there is a market for ancient style.
In addition, the Chinese style is also normal, after all, the two are in the same vein.
But Song Yu estimated that Liao Jian still had an idea.
Let him, the pioneer, do something and pull ratings for him.
The Grand Final, on the other hand, has no restrictions at all.
This is simply Liao Jian's explicit.
In his previous life, "I Am a Singer" was jokingly called "I Am a High Voice" by many people and so on.
The reason is simple.
Of all the singing techniques, the treble is the easiest to hear from the general audience.
If you can sing, I think you're pretty good.
As for the other songs, no matter how many skills there are, it is useless for everyone to not listen to them.
Unless you have a strong emotional expression.
But treble is obviously easier.
In the previous few times, Liao Jian mentioned that you can't use a high pitch, but now, you can use it in the finals.
In other words, he wants ratings, word-of-mouth or something, which can be slowed down.
soaring high tones, everyone likes them, and the ratings are naturally not bad.
Song Yu naturally didn't say anything, which was exactly what he wanted.
The best part of the song he prepared was its high notes.
"Okay, I got it, let's go to the studio."
Song Yu thought as he walked, which one was selected by Huaxia.
And the quality can't be too low, after all, it's cool if you lose.
But singing "Blue and White Porcelain", he is reluctant, and this song is best put into the album.
Since you don't want to buy Chou, then change someone.
Xu Song.
His Chinese style is also good enough.
Song Yu plans to use "Thousand Hundred Degrees", a song that has been selected for university textbooks.
The song may not be top-notch, but the words are really good.
When he arrived at the recording studio, Song Yu changed into the loose clothes and monkey mask after a long absence.
"Teacher Sun Wukong, still the same as before, write the words first?"
Duan Yue changed his name and looked at Song Yu expectantly.
"Of course."
Song Yu naturally maintained his own personality.
Screenwriter Gu Xing very consciously sent pen and paper.
Some singers like to use the keyboard to write lyrics, but Song Yu likes to use pen and paper, which reminds him of the lyrics book he copied when he was reading.
Full of memories.
And he copied this "Thousand Hundred Degrees" to the book.
"Off the field shop, the fireworks are out, how can the guests sleep.
Hanlai sleeves, who will add two pieces for me.
It snowed in three or four days, and the wind did not abate, blowing all night.
It's just pitiful, the skinny horse didn't have a good rest. ”
The first lyrics are shown on camera.
Duan Yue's heart was shocked.
There's something wrong with that.
It gave him a poetic feel.
Although it is far inferior to the classic poems of ancient times, it is used as modern lyrics, which is full of beauty and charm.
"He is worthy of being the pioneer of Chinese style." Duan Yue sighed in his heart.
The lyrics continue, and the quality that follows is undiminished.
And it's not a pile of words, it has a sense of hierarchy and picture.
"I have been looking for you a thousand times, from sunrise to dusk. A scoop of rivers and lakes, I rise and fall. I have been looking for you a thousand times, and I am a year old. But you're never there, and the lights are dim......"
