On the new song list in March, Jiang Kan's "Exaggeration" and Zhou Tianwang's "Heart Song" are the best, far ahead of the third-placed song by nearly one-third of the download count.
This grand occasion made fans shout that Xia Guo's singing world finally has the same style of one super player with multiple talents, chasing after each other.
The domestic music scene has been a backwater in recent years, but there haven't been many new singers emerging. As for veteran singers, they are all satisfied with covering old songs and using various fashionable techniques to adapt and sing classic songs from the past to extend their stardom.
I don’t know if it’s because the rise of short videos takes up so much of people’s energy and time that composers and lyricists don’t have much energy to sit down and create a completely original, profound and artistic innovation. song.
Or is it because the information explosion brought by the Internet has led to a rapid expansion of the number of songs that the audience has access to, resulting in the fact that what they want to listen to cannot be listened to at all. In order to snatch the few fragments of time from the audience, the media and singers can only continue to Repeat old songs that already existed in the past and have left an impression in the hearts of fans to retain a little bit of their attention.
Anyway, the current situation is that the quantity and quality of new songs are deteriorating every year. Creators no longer conscientiously set high standards and strict requirements to regulate their serious creations.
Singers no longer look forward to and sing unknown new songs, but continue to cover and adapt old songs to maintain their exposure and popularity.
They no longer compete with each other about who created new songs and who performed new classics. Instead, they either try to impress others by using weird costumes or behaviors to attract attention when they go out on the street.
Or he works tirelessly to stir up scandals and draw attention to who he is in love with, who he breaks up with, who he falls out with, who he makes up with again... The music world has turned into the entertainment industry, and people are really serious. There are fewer and fewer people who are serious about making music. Instead, more and more stars are turning into entertainment stars and relying on one or a limited number of old songs to rest on their laurels.
Over time, the Xia Kingdom's domestic music scene lost the injection of living water, lost its vitality and vitality, and became a pool of stagnant water.
But this time, the three-month-long battle for the top song between rising star Jiang Kan and veteran Zhou Tianwang broke the rigid situation like a stone thrown into the water.
Not only fans, but also the media have also published articles, saying that they are very happy to see this situation of chasing each other among the strong. This will also have a strong promotion effect on the domestic music scene that has been stagnant for many years. Maybe it can also stimulate the fighting spirit of the singers and show the lively scene of the stars competing for glory?
"So far, Jiang Kan's "Pompous" has been downloaded more than 3.86 million times in total, while Zhou Tianwang's "Heartsong" follows closely behind with 3.85 million times."
"This is already the 10th time this month that the two top-charting songs have swapped places."
"In the previous 9 exchanges, the two songs overtook each other with a very, very slight advantage, and then were overtaken by their opponents again in a very short period of time."
"As we all know, Zhou Tianwang has already left his agency to build his own studio, and is not affiliated with any entertainment company, so he does not have large-scale commercial promotions and relies entirely on his popularity and reputation accumulated over the years. , has been spread by word of mouth among the people, and has achieved such a high status in the music world today."
"According to this newspaper's understanding, Jiang Kan also announced last month that he had left Feiyang Entertainment and established his own personal studio. He is currently not affiliated with any entertainment company. Therefore, his song has currently achieved The results are all due to the high quality of the songs and the popularity he has accumulated for himself over the past year, as well as the mutual recommendations from fans."
"With such a grand occasion, what's surprising is that they have not been professionally packaged by an entertainment company. They have achieved such a high sales level by relying solely on their own strength. It is really amazing."
"And such a phenomenon can't help but make people wonder whether the fighting between Jiang and Zhou can inject a breath of fresh air into the domestic music market that has been silent and lifeless for a long time, leading the Xia Guo music scene to return to the fairy-like fight it once was. A great atmosphere with all the stars competing?"
"Although every year, we will bring up this topic again, and every year, we hope that a new music star will rise, for Xia, who has long been rigid and relies on covering old songs rather than writing new songs as his means of becoming famous. Inject new vitality into the national anthem scene and break this backwater atmosphere."
"But every year, we go from hope to disappointment, watching a new star rise by chance, and finally fall like a shooting star, becoming an ordinary shooting star with no more talent."
"Therefore, this newspaper also sincerely hopes and wishes that Jiang Kan, the biggest discovery of our Xia Guo music scene in 2023, can break through this curse, lead us in a new direction, and realize the great revival of domestic entertainment music, and It is no longer like the short-lived new stars in the past that shine for a short period and then fall into darkness and no longer shine.”
"Oriental Entertainment Weekly brings you the above report." Many people clapped their hands and applauded after reading this report, saying that this article really spoke to their hearts.
They also all hope that the music scene can really be like what this article says, that the sparks of passion can be stirred up by the constant competition and collision of masters, and it will become better and better.
Some people expressed disdain after reading it. They said, is it still necessary to save Xia’s music scene?
Anyway, it has been bad for so many years, so it doesn’t matter if it continues like this. Anyway, there are many things to play now, such as short videos, watching live broadcasts... Which one is better than flattering the stinky feet of those so-called celebrities?
Anyway, I usually have less and less time to listen to music. What if there are new songs or new good songs? Life is not the same. I have to make up for the classes that need to be made up and work overtime for the classes that need to be made. The day is so busy. If your feet are not touching the ground, how can you have time to pay attention to whether anyone in the music industry has released new songs? After all, I have listened to the old songs for so many years, so there is no problem.
These two trends of thought may be the dilemma that such reports can reflect in today's Xiaguo music scene.
But some people expressed disapproval of this situation.
"Haha, looking at these media reports, it seems as if Jiang Kan and Zhou Shengjie are the only two people in the Xia Kingdom's music scene. They really don't take us old singers seriously?" Magic City, a certain suburb. In the spacious villa mansion.
King Murong Cheng was lying on his sofa at this time, scrolling through the news with his mobile phone in his hand.
A few days ago, due to the tax evasion scandal, he had to deal with it urgently. He also voluntarily withdrew from the "Xia Guo Singer" competition. While dealing with the lawsuit, he also entered a state of semi-retirement.
But now, his troublesome legal battle is over. After being silent for half a year, he had to cancel several concerts, several new song release opportunities, as well as countless small and medium-sized commercial performances and advertising contracts. This was the time when he felt heartbroken at the loss.
Then I saw how Zhou Tianwang and Jiang Kan were inextricably competing on the monthly new song charts.
"These media really don't pay attention to me, the King of Heaven. They only report on these two people throughout the article. They also say that the Xia Guo singing world is a stagnant water with no new ideas. What are the other singers doing..."
"Other singers are evading taxes reasonably and dealing with lawsuits! What do you know...Xiao Liu!" He threw his cell phone on the coffee table aside and shouted loudly.
"Hey, Brother Cheng, did you call me?" The little assistant on the side had long seen his boss lying on the sofa without saying a word, playing with his mobile phone with a sullen face, and tactfully hid far away to prevent the boss from letting him know. See yourself out of trouble.
Now that he was called, he immediately showed up.
"How are they doing with the post-production of my song "Pure White Love"? Will it be released in time for the beginning of next month?" He squinted at the assistant with a cute smile on his face and asked majestically.
"Hey, of course I can make it in time. I just called them this morning to check on the progress. You asked me to carefully polish every detail in the post-production process. How dare they be lazy..." Xiao Liu thought to himself. Fortunately, my boss has been in a bad mood these past few days and I have been much more diligent in my work. I just happened to ask him in the morning, otherwise I would be in trouble again.
"Well, very good. You can call them again and tell them that this song is an important song that I will use to announce the return of the King Murong Tianwang next month, so that they must take it seriously and carefully. Repair the sound carefully and adjust the tune well. There should be no flaws or flaws at all. Do you understand?"
"Understood, I'll call them right away and tell them!" Xiao Liu stood at attention and saluted, and then quickly slipped out of the living room.
The air pressure in the villa has been a bit low these days, so it would be better for him to stay less in front of his boss.
"Huh, forget it Zhou Shengjie, Jiang Kan is also riding on me..." Murong Tianwang, who was feeling sulky and had nowhere to vent his anger because of what happened some time ago, exhaled fiercely and was about to say a few harsh words to vent his anger. My own depressed mood.
Suddenly, I remembered the shock I felt when I was on the stage of "Good Singer" and was overwhelmed by Jiang Kan's new songs one after another.
"Jiang Kan also...hum!"
"Hmph!... Oh, how could there be such a perverted guy in this world? He was so powerful when he debuted. Even Lao Zhou couldn't beat him... Is my new song really good this time?" The assistant is not here No one around him was staring at his expression, and Murong Cheng's head drooped.
In order to maintain his tough persona, he would act very domineering and confident even in front of the assistants he worked with day and night.
But... as a superstar, he is a senior professional with a very deep understanding of music.
Jiang Kan has a good idea of whether his songs are good or not, and whether his singing skills are great or not.
That's really awesome, that's really good. He was shocked by Jiang Kan's loud voice on stage.
However, the dignity of the King prevents him from admitting that he is afraid of the other party. After all, Jiang Kan is just a newcomer who has just debuted for a little more than a year.
I hope that this time, with the gimmick of inserting myself between two top players and competing for the top spot, my new song will be able to sell a little better, and it will live up to my first song after my comeback. The title of the single is gone.
…
"Hi, Jiang~ Good evening... By the way, it must be evening for you, right?" In the evening, Jiang Kan received a call from the United States.
As soon as he connected, he heard David's enthusiastic voice coming from the phone.
"Ha, David, good evening. Yes, we are at night. What's the matter with calling so late?" Jiang Kan looked at the number on his watch, it was 9 o'clock sharp.
In other words, it should be 9 o'clock in the morning on the other side.
"Hey, it's morning here, you should have called me so early... Ha, I'm not here to tell you this, but to tell you that "Friends" will be officially launched at eight o'clock tonight! You Remember to watch it!" David's voice was loud and excited, which also affected Jiang Kan.
"What? It's going to be broadcast tonight? I remember it said it was going to be broadcast at the end of March, right?" he asked curiously.
"Yes, the original plan was for the end of March, but now the show in front of us has poor ratings and has been cut off, so our show will be directly on top. I have notified several other people. You It’s the last one, remember to watch it!” David’s mood was very high. After all, this drama is also his hard work. In the 2020s, when sitcoms are gradually declining, it is possible to have a drama of this type. The episode was broadcast on the famous NBC, which in itself is already an extraordinary thing.
"Okay, I'll definitely take a look. Your eight o'clock in the evening is our eight o'clock tomorrow morning, right? Ha, now I'm too handsome to sleep in!" He said this, but Jiang Kan was extremely happy in his heart. .
He is one of the six leading actors, and this time he is no longer just a simple guest role! In a place like the United States, where the entertainment industry is very developed, as long as the ratings of a new drama fail to increase for a few consecutive episodes, it will be immediately axed by the TV station and will no longer be broadcast, so the competition here is extremely fierce. .
Jiang Kan is lucky enough to join such a series that is carefully produced by two old partners in the industry. The performances of the leading actors are also quite outstanding. I think there should be no problem in surviving the first season, right?
"Ha, that's all for this topic. Another thing, how are you doing with the opening theme of the fantasy drama that I asked you to help customize? Are there any difficulties? Is there a demo that you can listen to? Then The crew is making very good progress and will finish filming the entire first season by the end of March, and will strive to air the first episode in early April!"
"Ha, I didn't encounter any problems. I've also made a sample. I'll send it to you later. I guarantee it will make you so happy that you even forget your last name!"
