Chapter 17: First Week Platinum
For the first album of "Dream 5", Eno also considered using other works.
But it's either too niche, or it's not suitable for the band format.
In the end, like the first two songs, he chose the Mayday song, in addition to ensuring the unity of style, but also continuing the original intention of the "small town as a subject" incident at that time.
What's more, in the previous life, in addition to Beyond, which has long since retired, the first Chinese orchestra is none other than Mayday.
Although they have been criticized and slandered for a long time, and there are always people who attack Mayday for not being a rock band, this still can't stop thousands of music fans from loving them.
Good work, you can speak for yourself.
When they first debuted, Mayday was predicted by Li Zongsheng to be the most successful band in the Chinese music scene, and they also proved this with classic works and actual achievements for more than 20 years.
Coupled with the age of the other four members of [Dream5], the suitable route, and the acceptance of the company and the market, these songs are undoubtedly the most correct choice at this stage.
As Eno had predicted, it turned out to be true.
[Dream5]'s debut mini album has received a buzzing response from the market due to its excellent quality, and the enthusiasm of fans is beyond the ordinary.
It proves that classics will be welcomed wherever they are.
Some attentive fans even figured out where their album promotional photos were shot and went on a pilgrimage.
The breeze meadows and hills, nine photos with a lyric of "contentment", for a while, became a rule of praise in the circle of friends.
Kindness is like water, and gentleness is a force that should not be underestimated.
"Contentment" was able to break into the top three of the new song list in five days, and among the many driving forces, only one person was Jiang Ye, including Peng Yuan and Lin Sen, whom they did not expect.
On June 24th, Fu Yanxiu, an academic music critic known for his "Teacher Fu is so strict", expressed his recognition of [Dream5] in his personal blog.
- "In the whirlpool of public opinion, this song "Contentment" once again shows Eno's unique creative skills.
The use of piano and strings is like holding back tears, and the pictures depicted in the whole song and the emotional outlook conveyed are all about cherishing simple things and nostalgia for simple time.
Keep it pure and return to the music itself, the work will be more powerful, not bad! ”
To know who Fu Yanxiu is?
Born in the music department of a prestigious university, he has swept many "Best Arranger" and "Best Producer" awards in his 20-year career; has successfully supervised the creation of many classic records of kings and queens, and it is well-known in the circle.
In recent years, Fu Yanxiu has served as a mentor for one or two music programs, and his wonderful speeches are decent and not kitsch, attracting countless fans.
He himself has become a clear stream among professional music critics because of his orthodox and elegant academic image.
The music director of a large company such as Peng Yuan has to politely call him a senior when they meet.
With Fu Yanxiu's endorsement, not to mention how many passers-by have turned fans, it is equivalent to directly locking a seat for "Contentment" on the hot song list with higher gold content.
"Originally, I didn't feel anything about [Dream5], I felt that their songs were all fast-paced and noisy, but I was successfully amway by Mr. Fu's analysis, and I did feel a sense of calming down after listening to "Contentment".
"Teacher Fu's recommendation must be a high-quality product. I listen to songs that don't matter what singer or genre of music, as long as it's good. I give 8 points for "contentment". ”
"Twin chefs are ecstatic! Mr. Fu recommended [Dream5]! Dream of a Jiang Ye and Teacher Fu's cooperation, both male gods are my favorites, what if it comes true! ”
……
However, this harmony was broken by a very discordant voice.
The music critic who frequently creates disputes and poisonous tongues cause public opinion scuffles, "Cold Knife" Hu Hongsheng, openly provoked Fu Yanxiu and belittled [Dream5] to nothing.
- "No matter how you package pseudo-rock, it won't be real." [Dream5] is just a few pop idols with empty cores bluffing, how to talk about creative skills?
People who love bands are not deaf, people who understand music are not deaf, there are always people who are sober.
There is a threshold for music appreciation, and there are high and low levels of music aesthetics, but some ignorant and anti-intellectual people are unwilling to admit it.
But Mr. Fu, as a professional and the so-called [Qing School] music critic respected by the public, has he also begun to bow to the traffic, and in order to please the public, he has a bad conscience?
Flattering gestures, sad and sad! ”
In an instant, Hu Hongsheng's Wei Bo occupied three entries by himself.
[Hu Hongsheng shouted to Qingliu music critic Fu Yanxiu]
[Hu Hongsheng criticized [Dream5] kernel hole]
[Hu Hongsheng opened up in the air, naming producer Fu Yanxiu to make bad money]
On the hot search list, two of the topics have been read more than 100 million times and commented more than 10,000 times.
Except for some people with ulterior motives, Hu Hongsheng's bizarre remarks are almost one-sided refutation on the Internet.
"I can't understand it, but I'm shocked, a music review bastard always shows superiority here, and he reverses black and white and bites someone else's bad money? Hugou is completely faceless and skinless. ”
"Hu Gou can fall below the bottom line every time he is popular, refreshing people's perception of him. The dog jumped over the wall and shouted to Mr. Fu, if anyone takes care of you, I will lose! ”
"The word music critic is ruined in the hands of Hu Gou. is narrow-minded, and he tastes the sweetness of traffic by scaring people and publishing pretending to be coercive, isn't he a dog? ”
"A music critic should be a bridge between the creator and the audience, helping fans better understand what a piece is trying to say.
There may be a threshold for music appreciation, but there is no threshold for getting pleasure from music.
A music critic like Hu Hongsheng, who thinks he is at the pinnacle of taste, can neither give pertinent professional advice nor give positive guidance, is really not necessary. ”
……
At the same time, Eno and the others are watching the development of things.
Early in the morning of June 25, the five of them were waiting for a meeting in the company, but Lin Sen and Peng Yuan had not yet arrived.
"How many variety shows have you been on like this? A self-proclaimed musician, she knows a chicken! If you don't scold him awake, I don't know what it means to cherish feathers! Yao Xiao was typing, and couldn't help but want to face Hu Hongsheng in Weibo.
Jiang Ye pressed Yao Xiao's mobile phone, and Yun Danfeng said lightly: "Ignore him, drop the price." ”
People like Hu Hongsheng were not uncommon in Jiang Ye in his previous life.
It's not that Hu Hongsheng doesn't understand, after all, he has played songs before, and he has also done corporate publicity planning for big labels, he just doesn't want to understand, or he understands it too much.
knows how to market yourself, spray with a poisonous tongue to create topics, and rub traffic for benefits.
invited him to several variety shows in a row, doesn't it just show that Hu Hongsheng is good at abacus.
Why don't you use a cheap and controversial "musician", what the program team wants is for him to jump on the thunder point of the public, which is also his only value.
Gu Chuan nodded slightly: "That person is a troll, he personally attacks the contestants in the show, and he also likes to name names on the Internet, and he will rub whoever he catches is hot, and there is no bottom line."
The more you scold him, the harder you go, the more you want it. ”
Yao Xiao was so angry that he leaned back on the sofa and threw his mobile phone aside: "Forget it!" Out of sight, out of mind. ”
Wang Zihao pursed his lips and stopped talking.
He was young and vigorous, and he planned to follow Yao Xiao to fight back, but he had to stop at this moment.
Since the nightclub turmoil, he has been low-key recently.
After all, his teammates were implicated and lost tens of thousands of yuan, especially Jiang Ye, who took out hundreds of thousands. Although it is a nominal donation, it is a financial loss for everyone.
At this time, how can he still have the confidence to babble.
Seeing that a few people were quiet, Gao Xin, who had just wanted to say something to stop him, was secretly happy.
He was reluctant to donate money before.
Among the five people in [Dream5], Gao Xin belongs to the one with the least sense of existence. But at the last music festival, Eno had the intention to let Duan Solo show him a guitar, and the response was very good, and his popularity continued to soar.
Recently, releasing an album is a sensitive period, and seeing that Yao Xiao is going to make trouble again, Gao Xin can't wait to hammer him to death on the spot.
The sales of the new album are so explosive, can't you stop it? If something happens again, you will lose your own money!
But he knew that Yao Xiao and Jiang Ye had the strongest relationship, and he wanted to scold a few words, but he was very worried about this relationship.
Now that Jiang Ye took the lead in holding Yao Xiao down, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and then echoed: "Jiang Ye is right, that stupid X, he thinks highly of him if he cares a little more." Teacher Fu didn't respond, Hu Gou didn't deserve it at all. ”
After a while, Lin Sen and Peng Yuan returned to the office from Ding Shaokun and arranged the next few signing meetings.
In addition to the theme of "Youth Inspirational", all live performances are based on the principle of "music first, fans first" to bring [Dream5] closer to the fans.
Speaking of controversy over online music critics.
Lin Sen didn't care, and said disdainfully: "Don't worry about cats and dogs, it's free publicity." The album sold out, and he slapped his face with his strength, what is the matter with him Hu Hongsheng. ”
"Don't pay attention to him, he should stand up and stand, it's worse than Guo Wei's gang playing underground." Peng Yuan snorted and looked down on him.
In the eyes of professionals like Peng Yuan, who really rely on musical ability to eat, Hu Hongsheng's half-level is a clown who jumps off the beam.
It's clear that he came over to rub the heat, and it would be stupid to take him seriously.
Tianyou Company decided to take a cold treatment, several parties did not respond, Hu Hongsheng touched the porcelain many times to no avail, and finally stopped making trouble.
On the contrary, netizens who eat melons feel bored and watch a big drama less.
But as soon as the heat of this matter faded, it was quickly pulled up again-
On June 27, [Dream5]'s first album "Poems of Post-Adolescence" was launched for a week, with sales exceeding one million, and it was officially listed as a platinum record.
As soon as this news came out, it caused a sensation in the entire entertainment industry.
First Week Platinum! It's been a long time since the record market has seen such a bombshell.
