There are talented people from generation to generation, each leading the way for hundreds of years.

There is some truth to this.

In July and August, the explosion of Jay Chou and Ren Xianqi made their popularity once close to Chen Qiming and others.

The streets and alleys are full of songs and posters of the two.

It seems that during this time, Jay Chou and Ren Xianqi have become the kings of the Chinese music scene.

That didn't last long, though.

When the time came to September, Chen Qiming's Chinese and English records for himself were finally recorded, entered the final preparation stage, and began a large number of distribution and publicity.

Who is Chen Qiming?

This is a well-deserved figure in the current Chinese music scene.

The scale of his album promotion is naturally incomparable to ordinary people.

The first is on TV.

Chen Qiming has appeared on seven or eight ace variety shows in Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore and other places.

And then there's the print media.

A large number of newspapers put Chen Qiming on the front cover to build momentum for his new album.

[The king returns, Chen Qiming's new record is set for September 15]

[He's still him, Chen Qiming's new record announced the release date, and fans are boiling]

……

In addition to television and print media, on radio.

Since September 1, Chen Qiming has released a song from the album every four days to hit the charts.

The first song is "Please Say Hello First".

This song was not originally planned by Chen Qiming, but it is worthy of being a hit song in the future.

Even though the style and lyrics are simple, its catchy melody is still loved by the audience.

As soon as the song hit the chart, it directly landed in the top ten of the radio charts in Treasure Island, Singapore, Hong Kong, Malaysia and other places.

The second song is "The Prodigal Son".

As soon as this Hokkien song was launched on Treasure Island, it directly climbed to the third place on the Treasure Island Radio List and the top ten positions in other regions.

The third song is "Friends".

This song is worthy of Chen Qiming's definition of the first title track of the album.

As soon as it hit the list, it directly landed first in each region and became the hottest song in the current time period.

The subsequent "Departure" and "Bund 18" were both released on the radio before the album was released.

With the help of the catchy melody of the song and Chen Qiming's super popularity, they all entered the top ten.

Before the album was officially released, the first line of the five songs dominated five of the top 10 spots on the radio charts.

This made many singers scold Chen Qiming, but they also had to admit that the current Chinese music scene has really become Chen Qiming's world.

He has three or four albums in a row and started to slaughter the charts before they were released.

Of course, this time, Chen Qiming is not completely without opponents.

His opponent this time is none other than Faye Wong, who was awarded the title of a new generation of pop diva after moving to Treasure Island.

In August, Faye Wong released a new record "Impetuous".

As soon as this album was released, it ushered in a double explosion of word-of-mouth sales.

This album was released at the end of August, and after its release, it directly beat Ren Xianqi's "And Me" and won the first place on the radio chart and the first place on the golden song chart in the last week of August.

Ren Xianqi's popularity is obvious to all.

Some people say that he is the most popular newcomer in 1996, comparable to Chen Qiming back then.

was so powerful that he was actually suppressed by Faye Wong, which not only surprised the media, but even Chen Qiming himself went to buy a copy of Faye Wong's "Impetuous" to listen to.

After listening to this album, he couldn't help but nod his head.

The songs on Faye Wong's album may not be the most widely sung category, but if you talk about the lyrics, this album is undoubtedly a classic.

For a long time, everyone's definition of pop singers is nothing more than the so-called market-driven view that "the public creates idols".

It is believed that the birth of the pop emperor is a direct result of adapting to the audience's orientation.

But this is not an absolute judgment that covers all aspects of pop singers.

This point is more prominent in Faye Wong. Faye Wong, as a label figure among female singers in the pop music industry, her music trajectory is clear and can be followed.

However, what makes it the "queen" of pop music is not the usual result of the market, but the leading reason for the Reebok trend.

She blurs the line between leading the audience and being led by it, to say the least.

This puts her music one step ahead of the crowd and thus makes the audience a kind of singer's initiative.

This means a lot to a pop singer.

BEFORE, FAYE WONG CREATED AN ALTERNATIVE TREND IN THE CHINESE MUSIC SCENE WITH "100,000 WHYS" - "CRANKY THOUGHTS" - "DI-DAR".

This year's Chinese album "Impetuous" is a step further, completely completing the combination and transformation of root rock and British rock.

The album's subversion of the established model of Chinese pop songs, and the insistence on the overall concept of the album make its boundary monument significance, and as soon as it was launched, it was recognized by the industry and received rave reviews.

This original Chinese album "Impetuous" under the international banner is different from the complicated behind-the-scenes creation of Faye Wong's albums in the past, and strives to streamline the creative and production staff.

ZHANG YADONG SUCCESSFULLY SUPERVISED FAYE WONG'S COMPLETE WORKS FOR THE FIRST TIME, AND THE CREATIVE MODEL OF DOU WEI + ZHANG YADONG + FAYE WONG + COCTEAUTWINS SUCCESSFULLY PUSHED FAYE WONG TO THE PEAK.

Some music critics even shouted out the statement that the male singer Chen Qiming in the Chinese music scene is the king, and the female singer Faye Wong is the queen.

This album takes Faye Wong's independent state as the leading concept of the album, except for the two works of fake hands, a pure music work, and the rest of the lyrics and songwriting are handled by Faye Wong.

Behind the scenes, the BANDSOUD style simplifies all the tedious instrumental lay-ups.

Chinese pop music lyrics often dominate the focus of the work, but "Impetuous" deliberately downplays the status of the lyrics in the work, only using the title to describe the situation of the song, and the song chanting uses simple and repeated syllables to strengthen the situation of the title molding, so as to achieve this concept album dominated by the "conscious" or "subconscious".

ALTHOUGH FAYE WONG IS INFINITELY CLOSE TO HER BOYFRIEND DOU WEI'S CREATIVE STYLE IN TERMS OF CREATIVE FORM, FAYE WONG'S CONTROL INTEGRATES THE TRANSPOSITION OF BEIJING MINOR KEYS INTO BRITISH ROCK, TERESA TENG'S STYLE, COCTEAUTWINS, AND DOU WEI...... Faye Wong's unbeatable understanding enables her to combine the souls of these singers who have profoundly influenced her.

THE TWO WORKS CREATED BY COCTEAUTWINS ARE NOT ABRUPT IN THE WHOLE ALBUM, BUT THEY ARE BLENDED WITH FAYE WONG'S OWN CREATIONS.

Lin Xi and Huang Weiwen, two great lyricists in the Hong Kong music scene, filled in "Split" and "Scattered" for Faye Wong, and the perfect combination of literary and imagery expression made the album even more colorful.

Faye Wong's own lyrics are poetic works with strong improvisational colors.

This year is a relatively low-production year for Faye Wong, only one album and one EP have been released throughout the year, and this "Impetuous" has undoubtedly become her most successful record since her debut.

The album is full of excitement in music taste and lyric imagery, and in today's industrialization, the record should consider as little as possible the commercial factors of the record, and make a self-reflecting, authentic, and sincere pop music work, which is worthy of applause.

And Faye Wong, as a pop singer who has achieved great commercial success, has gone to the back of business in this record and has achieved inertial success, which again cites the old saying - artistic success is the success of personal charm in the final analysis.

Since "100,000 Why", Faye Wong has made progress in each album, and new music styles have appeared one by one.

After the exploration stages such as "Cranky Thoughts" and "Pleasing Yourself", the launch of "Impetuous" can be said to have reached the peak of Faye Wong's music road.

Following works such as "The Oath" and (Way Out), Faye Wong has a soft spot for BJ rock, probably because the producer is the relationship between Dou Wei and Zhang Yadong, and the songs of the entire "Impetuous" are based on this main style.

(Fallen) can be said to be one of the more representative and standard of Faye Wong's many works that personally created the lyrics.

Disillusioned with the real world, obsessed with love, the singer decides to fall with his lover and no longer care what others think.

In addition to "Fall", Faye Wong also composed "Impermanence", "Impetuousness" and "Doomsday". Among them, "Impetuous" is only a simple 22 words, and the whole song is composed of incomprehensible chanting, which can be described as a major breakthrough in the concept of traditional music in the Hong Kong pop music scene.

Others, such as

The adaptation of Cocteau Twins' song (Knowing Yourself and Knowing Your Enemy) has become a topic of conversation for many people, and the acceptance of the song "Knowing Yourself and Knowing Your Enemy" also affirms that Faye Wong's musical taste has been supported and recognized by the audience.

Giving up simply adapting the works of the Cocteau Twins, Faye Wong specially invited the Cocteau Twins to compose two new songs (Split" and "Breaking the Fun" for her, making further musical exchanges.

The album kicked off with "Impermanence". There is no prelude arrangement, and Faye Wong's voice is heard at the beginning, singing all kinds of natural scenes.

A leisurely picture, but Faye Wong saw all this beauty and harmony, the impermanence of the world.

Everything is fine in September, but there is a lack of troubles, but Faye Wong is impetuous, imagining, emotionally split and uneasy, and the whole person can't calm down.

In the ten pieces of the entire record, the singers are in this uneasy emotional state, and the later the works, the more unstable the emotions shown.

doesn't listen, watch, or speak, Faye Wong fell into the loss of love and life alone.

The obvious "Impetuous" tries to show a more spiritual state, capturing the little uneasy feelings in life and love, which is another more complete and in-depth spiritual music work after Faye Wong's weird song "Lost", and it is the most unified and complete concept record of Faye Wong over the years.

"Impetuous" not only injects BJ rock elements into the music, but also integrates it with Scandinavian psychedelic style to complete this experimental conceptual creation.

Faye Wong personally participated in the writing of most of the melodies and some lyrics, which is the first work that truly belongs to Faye Wong herself, successfully getting rid of all the styles accused of plagiarism in the past, breaking through herself, and breaking the traditional framework of the Hong Kong music scene.

Such a perfect album, although it may not be as popular as Chen Qiming.

But in terms of word-of-mouth, Chen Qiming was a little shocked.

In the September 10 issue of Treasure Island Music Magazine.

The editor-in-chief directly proposed that Chen Qiming's new record sales may surpass Faye Wong, but the artistic attainments of the songs will not be as good as Faye Wong.

Chen Qiming was naturally unconvinced by this statement.

But he himself has to admit that the reputation of Faye Wong's alternative songs is difficult for him to beat.

Therefore, he simply ignored the fact that word of mouth may not be as good as Faye Wong, and began to focus on record sales.

No one is perfect, Faye Wong is like Wong Kar-wai in the Chinese music world.

When a piece of comes out, some people say that it is fragrant.

If you are too careful, you will hurt yourself.

So, he simply ignored these and focused on sales.

Anyway, he, Chen Qiming, is a singer who has achieved his current status with sales.

Sales volume is his basic plate.

If you want to pursue word of mouth.

Not to mention one, he can make songs from ten albums.

Anyway, what kind of songs are the urine of music critics, and the alternative is a good song.

If he comes up with some songs that are not the same as the extreme, the critics are guaranteed to praise him wildly.

Now, he still continues to play sales.

In his heart, sales are king.

No matter how good the reputation is, is the sales volume as high as mine?

No matter how much music critics tout it, are the sales as high as me?
