Chapter 370: New Album Sensation, Best in History?
Perhaps today is too memorable for the stars.
But on the Internet, the news revealed by You Mengli that attracted the most attention - Su Zhe will release two new albums this year.
[Great, there's a new song to listen to, rub your hands.] γ
[But half a year has passed, although he has written several new songs, he hasn't even released an album, can he achieve his goal? γ
This is also the concern of many fans, Su Zhe has been busy with "National Treasure Season" and filming film and television dramas in the first half of the year, do you have time to concentrate on making music?
But they were still discussing, and Su Zhe announced directly on Weibo:
[It's done, tomorrow I will release a new album "Chinese Style". γ
The fans were stunned, the happiness came so suddenly, they couldn't believe it:
[It's too sudden!] γ
[(Save breakfast to buy an album) Wait, I haven't saved enough money for the album! γ
[The student party should still save money for breakfast, you can't be blamed for listening to piracy, just don't publicize it with great fanfare. γ
[(Save breakfast to buy albums) Students? I'm married and have a baby. γ
γβ¦β¦γ
[In some ways, no wonder. γ
There are also people discussing the new album "Chinese Style":
[Su Zhedu has written eight Chinese-style songs, and he can write four new songs, at his speed. γ
[Just four new songs, there is really no need to publicize them with great fanfare. γ
[But even if it's only four new songs, I'm willing to spend money!] Su Zhe's songs are worth it. γ
The fans rejoiced, and their peers were in chaos.
Although the music industry is not very profitable, there are not many people who make a specialty, and there will be no such unlucky singer who collided with Su Zhe head-on tomorrow.
But the promotion period of the album is very long, and Su Zhe's new album will definitely dominate the charts for a long time, which will inevitably affect the singers who have released songs in recent months.
Some singers have already started to promote, and even the worst one, just after releasing the album a few days ago, I knew that Su Zhe was going to release a new song.
It's also so helpless!
So much so that many brokerage companies complained to Yan Xiling, saying that Mary Sue was too secretive, and she suddenly attacked and didn't notify them to avoid it, which was too unmartial arts.
Yan Xiling was helpless when she received these calls, and after explaining, she couldn't help but look at Su Zhe:
"Mr. Su, your album was recorded so quickly?"
Su Zhe nodded:
"Well, I've written it before. My singing skills are okay, I can record it in one pass, not to mention that Mengli helps me. β
Yan Xiling didn't complain about "singing skills are okay", and complained frantically:
"After recording, you have to publicize it! You didn't shoot a MV, didn't buy a draft, didn't have a fan base to warm up, and didn't even design an album cover, so you released an album? In case the sales do not meet expectations, it is very ugly. β
Su Zhe is not worried about sales, and now the whole network is looking forward to his new Chinese-style album, how can it not be sold?
What is more important now is speed, and it is necessary to launch it in the time when fans are most eager for Chinese-style songs in order to achieve the greatest profit.
Otherwise, before he launches the album, if a singer gains popularity and releases a Chinese-style album, as long as it is not too clumsy, even if it is a mediocre work, fans can only buy it in order to satisfy their hunger.
In this way, no matter whether the quality of the popular album is good or bad, it will affect the enthusiasm of fans and reduce his album sales.
Therefore, in order to firmly grasp the popularity and prevent being rubbed by others, Su Zhe even gave up the convention of using lyrics as the title of the album, and directly used "Chinese Style" as the name of the three albums, and launched it in the firing line.
After hearing Su Zhe's thoughts, Yan Xiling was stunned, pondered for a long time, and hesitated:
"But I'm still worried that it's too hasty, and it won't be seen as a fool by fans and the public, right?"
Su Zhe reassured:
"The key is the song, nothing else matters. And I took the opportunity of Mengli's Weibo 'leak' to directly post a new album, which made fans feel sorry for them, and launched it before I had time to shoot the MV. β
This is the best strategy he can think of - it's not that I'm fooling you, it's that I feel sorry for you!
Yan Xiling is not very sure whether the public has this kind of reaction, but Su Zhedu announced it on Weibo, and she can only make amends and immediately ask someone to rush to work on an album cover.
As for the MV, there is definitely no time to shoot.
And Su Zhe also has a better way:
"By the way, contacting the dance troupe and contacting the "Huaxia Song Club" is not to promote the new album? I'm going to make a big move! β
Yan Xiling remembered Su Zhe's famous concert scenes such as Blue Lotus Rain and White Balloons, and was very convinced of his stage design ability, and immediately agreed:
"I'll do it now!"
Yan Xiling was busy all night, and in the early hours of the morning, she couldn't help but rub her eyes, and refreshed her Weibo casually, and she saw-
#θε²ζ°δΈ "Chinese Style" is on the shelves#!
βοΌβ
She was stunned for a moment, glanced at various music platforms, and found that the new album was really on the shelves!
"Wait, this 'tomorrow' refers to 0 o'clock?"
Yan Xiling was in a trance.
She believed Su Zhe's judgment, but she didn't expect him to be so resolute-
Say tomorrow, it's 0 o'clock that night!
Apparently, the fans were also caught off guard:
[Look, what good things did I find?] The early bird gets the worm, and the child who goes to bed late has welfare! γ
[I just refreshed the listening software, and I saw that the "Chinese Style" album came out, Su Zhe is too efficient! ] γ
[I'm going to sleep, waiting to buy a new album tomorrow, but I didn't expect it to be released at 0 o'clock! ] Su Zhe didn't even have a bit of procrastination. γ
[Don't sleep today, cycle new songs until dawn!] γ
A group of fans and netizens who followed the trend immediately placed an order to buy it.
However, because the fans were not notified in advance, the sugarcane were not organized to brush sales, and it was early in the morning, although the sales in the first few hours of the album were good, they were far from the exaggerated record set by Su Zhe's last album.
For him, it can only be regarded as mediocre sales.
As a result, some self-media who are afraid of chaos in the world can't wait to announce:
[Su Zhe's aura is shattered! ] There was no publicity, a half-finished product, and Su Zhe's new album became a disaster. γ
[If you don't respect the fans, the fans won't respect him.] γ
[Will this be Su Zhe's Battle of Waterloo?] Does this mean that Su Zhe, who has risen like a rocket since he became popular, will gradually become mediocre from now on? γ
There may also be some peers who have fallen into the well and contributed to the trouble.
So early the next morning, the hot search turned out to be-
#θε²ζ°δΈ "Chinese Style" failed #
The netizens who got up early were dumbfounded, shocked that Su Zhe had released a new album, and shocked that he had failed?
Compared with Weibo, on music software, the reputation of the album is diametrically opposite-
[Oh my God, I thought it was four new songs, but I didn't expect Su Zhe to write twelve songs! ] It's all chinoiserie. γ
[Chinese style feast, I finally "eat". γ
[The album cycled all night, and now I am not sleepy at all, but more and more excited. γ
[Su Zhe completely created the Chinese style school. γ
[Listen to the cry, proud of the Chinese culture! ] γ
When they were discussing, they finally broke away from the album cycle and found a hot search on Weibo.
Fans are furious!
Such a beautiful song, such a groundbreaking album, was said to be a "failure" by some shameless marketing accounts?
It's too much! It's too much of a bully for honest people!
Fans instantly poured into Weibo to refute the marketing account to netizens Amway's "Chinese Style".
The marketing account says:
[Su Zhe didn't shoot the MV, and the cover was fooled, so he released the album, which was too insincere. γ
Fan rebuttal:
[The twelve songs in the new album are all new songs, and they are all high-quality songs! ] Isn't this called sincerity? On the contrary, what cover is sincerity? Isn't that a return to the pearl? γ
The marketing account says:
[The decline in sales is ironclad evidence.] γ
Fan rebuttal:
[Because Su Zhe didn't publicize it! ] I was very touched that he released the new song without publicity in order to let fans hear the new song earlier. γ
The marketing account says:
[Su Zhe is too capricious. γ
Fan rebuttal:
[He is qualified to be capricious! γ
When the work is worthy of the audience (listener), they can even double standard like fans.
Under the spontaneous Amway of netizens, and under the strong thirst of fans for Chinese-style songs, the sales of "Chinese-style" began to skyrocket.
Countless people want to hear whether this "epoch-making album in the history of Chinese music" is worthy of this title.
Soon after, the comments broke out:
[Absolutely deserved! γ
[Who dares to say "failure"? It's the best album I've ever heard in my life! Not one of them! γ
[Strongly agree! γ
γ+1γ
And on the pressure-
[How do you evaluate Su Zhe's new album "Chinese Style"? γ
[How to evaluate the genre of Chinese-style songs created by Su Zhe? ] γ
[How to evaluate Su Zhe's position in music history?] γ
All three questions made the hot list.
Needless to say, the first two questions are full of all kinds of praise, and countless people praise Su Zhe and Xinzhuan from the bottom of their hearts-
Professional musicians analyze melodies, find the use and ingenuity of various traditional instruments;
All kinds of literary and artistic youths analyzed the lyrics, praised Su Zhe's poet-like brushstrokes, and called him a musical poet;
And ordinary netizens, even if they don't know much about professional knowledge, can express their pride from the perspective of national feelings.
And compared to praising the album, the third question is the most exaggerated-
Big V Yu Gongzi only wrote two short sentences:
[I always thought he was a vice GOAT, and you still said I was exaggerating.] But now, I think he has surpassed the god of song and become the GOAT of Chinese music history! γ
This short answer actually agreed with more than 10,000!
Others, although they do not agree with this point of view, also lyrically:
[The first album "Poetry Radio", he became a well-deserved king in the niche folk music circle. But I just thought that a talented musician, like his predecessors, was starting to show his talent. γ
[In the second album "Past CD", Su Zhe has achieved great success in the field of more popular lyrical pop. I began to wonder if Su Zhe could become the god of song in our time. dominate the music world, like the sun, make the stars darken. γ
[Three specializations "Chinese Style", Su Zhe founded a sect and became a well-deserved master. By this time, he had already begun to be ranked as the best in history. I think it's too early, but in any case, he will leave a footprint in the history of Chinese music and become a cultural symbol. γ
[I'm looking forward to it later.] γ
This answer came from behind, with more than 30,000 upvotes.
It can be seen that calling Su Zhe the best in history is only the opinion of a small number of fans;
However, it has become a consensus to recognize his inclusion in the discussion.
After all, he has only been popular for two and a half years, and many fans have not even finished college, high school, and junior high school...... But trainees can make their debut.
In such a short period of time, accepting him as the best in history is indeed a bit subversive for most people.
And even if you list Excel, it's hard to support this point of view in the data.
After all, the sales volume in the physical era is much more terrifying than now, and unless new technical means appear in the future that can effectively prevent piracy, it will be difficult for Su Zhe to catch up.
As for the awards, even if Su Zhe is amazingly talented, he can only rely on his years of service - no matter how awesome he is, he can only win one Jinlin Best Singer a year.
Awards and album sales, the two most important data, can't catch up, how can you use Excel to convince people who don't understand music that Su Zhe is the best?
- Many people don't understand music, they can only understand data!
The forced answer was in turn spread to Weibo, and countless people stood in line, and some people @Su Zhe, @ζη₯, asked them what they thought?
The god of song did not answer.
Su Zhe replied:
[I look at it on my phone.] γ
I didn't answer.
No way, how can they answer this kind of question involving the parties? Anything that is embarrassing will be taken out of context.
Let others discuss it.
In the text forum, it is easy to fall into the debate of historical status, after all, this kind of topic drainage is especially easy to cause quarrels and tearing.
In the short video website, the up masters are mainly outputting opinions, and some professional musicians have begun to analyze the songs in depth.
For fans, these analyses are too professional and can be listened to, but they like to find those words of praise and listen to the final conclusion-
"Su Zhe's talent is astounding, and he has ushered in a new era in the music scene."
"From the second half of this year to next year, there will be a large number of Chinese-style songs launched, although most of them are clumsy imitations of the trend, but after the big waves, there will also be a small number of high-quality products."
"Su Zhe has found a new way for the music industry, no longer blindly learning from the West, but exploring Chinese culture inward and creating pop music with Chinese characteristics."
"What shocked me the most was that Su Zhe's songs seemed to have been born in an era when Chinese style was in full bloom, and each song was full of exquisite design, and I couldn't believe that he developed it by himself."
"Isn't that the same true for the first two albums? Su Zhe can always do the best in one field, and then switch to another field without hesitation and continue to create miracles. It's like a scumbag. β
"People are divided into four grades: mediocrity - talent - genius - Su Zhe."
It can be said that the music scene has once again fallen into a cycle of Su Zhe's album-shock-praise-learning.
Compared with the fans who listened to the praise, Qi Xinyan, as a lover of Chinese-style songs, although she deservedly became a fan of Su Zhe, she was not immersed in these praises.
She tried hard to find all kinds of analysis videos, listened to them one by one, pondered them repeatedly, and couldn't help but look at the clumsy imitations she had written.
She hummed softly the song she had written before, and felt her cheeks flush:
"Compared to Su Dashen, these songs I wrote are rubbish. It's cruel, I'm just a philistine. β
Qi Xinyan sighed, envious of the genius's inspiration.
But after she was envious, she immediately opened the DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) on the computer, learned Su Zhe to add the instrument track, and kept adjusting and learning.
But after a busy night, she found that the melody of her song became more and more like Su Zhe's "Hair Like Snow".
This is normal, most people's creations start from imitation, or even "plagiarism" (imitation by themselves, not published, not commercial, do not violate morality and law).
But in the process, you can gradually burst out of your own things-
"As the saying goes, 'take the law from the top, only for the middle', I study Su Zhe seriously, and I can also become a 'genius', right?"
Maybe, maybe not.
But there is no reference answer in life, and she can only learn, work hard, and throw a stone into the future.
Or it was swallowed by the lake, or it stirred up huge waves.
Who knows?
