Time has quietly arrived in April, spring has returned to the earth, and everything has revived. Even the urban forest poured out of steel and concrete has revealed a lot of green vitality.
Jiang Kan and Zhang Lingling walked in a small park near the company building during their lunch break, breathing the fresh air with joy and feeling refreshed.
"So "Blue and White Porcelain" immediately topped the list of new songs in April right after it started?"
The two of them each held a cup of coffee in their hands and took a walk in the sun among the lush groves. Since there was almost always good news recently, their tone of voice was also very brisk.
"Yes, thanks to the first place in "Good Singer", this song is very popular. It is said that imitations of this song have appeared in some countries in Southeast Asia. I have to say that such high-quality Xia Guofeng songs have not appeared for a long time."
A few magpies were chirping and looking for food in the forest. Although their colors were only black and white, they brought a happier mood to the two of them.
"Haha, although the quality of the song accounts for a large part, it's not because of your performance, Kan. By the way, Kan, your voice seems to have recovered a little?"
Zhang Lingling is also in a good mood, not only because of Jiang Kan, but also Wang Yuchang and several other singers from Feiyang Entertainment. Their songs that hit the charts in April all entered the top 20 as soon as the charts opened. They worked hard to get into the top 10. It's not impossible. It seems that my harvest will definitely be a lot more this month.
"Well, cough...yes, I don't know why. My throat has recovered very quickly these days. Maybe it won't take more than two weeks to completely recover?"
Jiang Kan pretended to cough twice, and worked hard to guide the other person's thinking in the direction of better recovery of his body.
That's right, he will still not withdraw from the next episode of "Good Singer". He has already communicated with the program team that he is recovering very well and should be able to return to 90% of his original level before Saturday.
"Hey, I have to say that people are really different. Some people get injured over and over again for months, while some people get better after being injured in a few days..."
Naturally, Zhang Lingling didn't know about the system. She simply believed that Director Zhang's previous view was too pessimistic and misjudged the extent of Kan's injury. In fact, it would take about a week to fully recover.
"Yes, I feel the same way. After notifying the program team of your recovery situation, they also agreed that you should continue to stay on the show. After all, a singer like you who has won the first place for three consecutive episodes is really incredible. It’s so rare, and they also want to see if you can continue to create miracles.”
What Zhang Lingling said is actually the general view of the audience. The last time a singer was so dominant was in the first season. Will Jiang Kan, a newly emerging singer, create such a miracle again?
…
At the same time, "Like You", performed by Dongyu Band and sung by Jiang Kan, has also been officially released, joining the fierce competition in April's new song list.
Many rock fans and Jiang Kan's senior fans have been looking forward to this song for a long time. They are waiting to download it and add it to the music library as soon as it is released. In addition, some Chinese music fans who miss the band era very much have also been waiting for it. Thanks to the strong support of young people, this song actually broke into the top 20 on the first day it hit the charts! ….
"Haha, let me just say, everyone still likes and supports rock music and the band very much. It has gradually declined over the years because there are no good songs emerging."
Boss Zhou was in his recording studio, practicing instruments and chatting with several band members of Dongyu Band.
"Yes, the response to the music scene from the last song "Cold Rainy Night" exceeded our expectations. It turns out that there are still so many people who like rock music and band music. They are just dormant for the time being. They really met a good person. The song will still support me.”
Bassist Zhang Liheng stroked the battered bass in his hand, and recalled with happiness the intense market response shortly after the release of "Cold Rain Night". When he felt that he couldn't hold on, he got Jiang Kan’s song is a great inspiration.
"What do you think Brother Jiang is thinking? How did he write such a good song?"
Boss Zhou held the trembling cymbal with one hand and a smile on his face. These two months were simply the happiest days he had lived in the past 20 years. When he thought of the bright future of the upcoming revival of rock music, He couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.
"Yes, especially Kan's voice, which is unparalleled in anything he sings. He even sang the song "I Like You" with such charm. I don't know how many little girls will be fascinated by his voice... "
Li Bo, who was in charge of rhythm guitar, also nodded with emotion. When he was in high school, it happened to be the peak period of the band's era. He was very obsessed and enthusiastic about it. He lived frugally for a long time before buying one with his early money. A priceless electric guitar.
But just when he learned how to play beautiful melodies with it, the band era ushered in the end.
A large number of bands are struggling to support themselves in the era of burning capital in pursuit of star-making, and any band lead singer with some talent is poached and trained individually by major entertainment companies.
As a result, a large number of bands were dismembered. Without the soul singer, they were unwilling to sink from now on, so they continued to dig out new singers from the folk.
But before the new lead singer could fully mature and support the band again, he was poached by the hoe of capital again and entered the assembly line star-making mode, once again cutting off the lifeblood of the band's growth.
After all, the lead singer is the soul of the band. In the eyes of capital, the accompanists with various instruments are just tools to assist the singer and can be replaced at any time. In fact, many lead singers are also the main creative staff of the team. After losing their In their case, the decline of the entire band is inevitable, but it will happen sooner or later.
For example, BEYOND, a legendary band in the hearts of countless fans around the world, lost its lead singer Jia Kui and the other three members struggled for many years. After changing various styles and models, they still could not escape the fate of disbandment. , and eventually even fell apart for the sake of profit, which makes people sigh with regret every time they think about it.
Before joining Lao Zhou's band, they all considered themselves to be the pillars of the new generation of music circles born for rock and roll.
But after the wave of bands disbanding more than 20 years ago, they discovered that they were just a mantis standing in the way of this majestic historical trend. ….
But just when they had resigned themselves to their fate and gave up on RO and ROCK, a strange man who could both write and sing appeared in front of them!
How can this not make them excited? How can this not make them crazy?
The song "Cold Rainy Night" has awakened the long-lost musical souls of many rock lovers?
That unprecedented and sultry bass solo made many middle-aged men who had long forgotten what rock music was like sigh and cry again?
One stone stirred up a thousand waves. When the entire Xia country's music scene was excited about this classic song that awakened their sleeping memories, the Dongyu band once again released this song by the most popular and talked-about singer in the current music scene. "I Like You" sung by Jiang Kan swept the entire music circle in a very short period of time!
…
Under the bright sunshine, on the bustling Chunxi Road in Chengdu, a young couple in their early twenties were holding hands and shopping together.
The two of them each held a cone in their other hands. They walked and laughed all the way, and the sweetness in their hearts was even sweeter than the cone.
"Eh? What kind of song is this? Doesn't it sound quite pleasant to your ears?"
When passing by a large clothing store, the girl suddenly stopped and looked curiously at the huge display screen on the outer wall of the store.
"Oh? I heard it too. Why does this singing sound so familiar to me?"
The boy who was originally looking at a street clown on the other side was pulled to a stop by the girl, so he also looked curiously at the huge display screen to his right.
The picture on the screen showed an empty and dark indoor space, with background lights coming from the front, back, left, and right, reflecting the outline of a band in the middle.
On the left side of the front is a very artistic middle-aged man with a vicissitudes of life, long dreadlocks, and five shining gold rings on his left hand. He is holding a sunset-colored electric gun. Guitar, eyes closed and immersed in the playing of the strings.
On the right side, there is a man in his thirties with long shawl hair, a square face, and delicate features. He bends his legs and plays the heavy white bass in his hand.
Behind it was a drum set with a double bass drum, and a manly manly man in his fifties with a beard on his face was intoxicated by the sound.
In the middle of the front, there is a tall, middle-aged singer with a handsome face. He puts his hands behind his back, straightens his back, slightly puts his head out and speaks softly to the microphone fixed on the microphone stand in front of his chin. humming.
"The drizzle and wind soaked the streets at dusk,
Wiping away the rain, my eyes looked up for no reason,
Looking at the lonely evening light,
It’s that sad memory…”
The clear and gentle singing came from the screen's built-in speakers, like gurgling spring water in the mountains, flowing into the large square and into people's hearts.
After all, they have been working on this song for a whole month. Everyone in the Dongyu band has also practiced the parts they are responsible for to the point of perfection. The sound of the guitar, drums and bass is like a soft cotton cloud. Jiang Kan's voice is soft and soft, neither dry nor overwhelming, giving people a feeling that the whole band is integrated. ….
Moreover, before Jiang Kan sang this song, he listened to the sample song provided by the system repeatedly, and he had an extremely good grasp of the emotions and atmosphere. Every sound, every breath, and the brewing of emotions in every lyric And the release has been controlled extremely accurately and meticulously. It is as smooth as the chocolate melted into the coffee, making people feel intoxicated and intoxicated when they smell it.
"Countless longings once again arise in my heart,
The laughter of the past moments is still on my face,
I wish you could know at this moment,
This is what I say from the bottom of my heart~"
Jiang Kan's soft and clear singing voice gradually drowned out the noise of people in the square. Not only the couple, but also the passers-by on the road were gradually attracted by Jiang Kan's beautiful and picturesque singing voice. They gradually gathered around and turned their attention to this large screen.
A youthful, sweet and affectionate young couple, a family of three holding a child, each holding a snack, white-collar elites in suits and leather shoes rushing past, tea art celebrities wearing fashionable clothes and walking on the catwalk taking photos on the street...
Like iron filings attracted by a magnet, they all stopped in front of the currently playing MV.
"This tone, this control of breath, this grasp of strength..."
"The lyrics are also well written. Not only does it capture the charm of the southern Cantonese dialect just right, but it is also very visual, very much in the style of the era when rock music was popular decades ago!"
"As expected of someone who has won the first place in "Good Singer" three times in a row. Uncle Kan's voice is so beautiful!"
"Ha, I didn't expect to meet Uncle Kan's fans here. As fans of Uncle Kan, we are so happy!"
"Yes, yes, there are no friends anywhere in the world. Are you also fans of Uncle Kan?"
"Of course! I grew up listening to Uncle Kan's songs (Damage), hahahaha!"
"The accompanists here are also familiar faces. They seem to be called Dong... yes, the Dongyu Band! They were also the accompanists for the previous rock song "Cold Rainy Night" by Uncle Kan, right?"
"Yes, that song was sung by the current lead guitarist Zhang Liheng. That amateur singer was so shocking when he sang it. Now that Uncle Kan is singing it, it sounds even better!"
"Why are you saying that Uncle Kan is so awesome? He can write and sing pop songs, Chinese style songs, he is also a good player in electronic music, and he is so proficient in rock music. What other songs are there? Is it a style he can’t control?”
A song that caused a lot of discussion among the onlookers, and many fans of Jiang Kan even liked him because of it.
The conversation was very pleasant, and it seemed that we regretted meeting each other so late.
"Isn't this Xiao Jiang? He has released a new song?"
"Ha, isn't this the singer who sang "Chengdu"? How did he form a band?"
"Yo? Jiang Kan also plays rock and roll, but he sang this song so gently and has a strong retro flavor. I like it!"
"I just said that this voice is very familiar. It is indeed Xiao Jiang's new song! What? You said you don't know Xiao Jiang? Jiang Kan, the "Two Butterflies" you dance to every night is a song written by him!"
More and more people were watching, especially since the MV focused on Jiang Kan’s handsome face. Many people were originally not interested in the song, but were interested in Jiang Kan, a folk who came out of his own city. The people of Chengdu, who were very familiar with the singer, gradually gathered around and expressed their support for him through their actions. .
