"Old Zhou~" Fang Jingshan visited King Zhou again in his villa in Su Province. But this time, he no longer had the same high-spirited spirit as before. He just said hello to Zhou Tianwang as if he was helpless, then sat down on the chair next to him and poured himself a cup of tea. Come and drink.
"Ha, what's wrong? You didn't ask me to touch Jiang Kan again this time?" Zhou Shengjie lay on his back on the recliner, took a comfortable sip of tea that was neither hot nor lukewarm, and tilted his head and said jokingly Staring at him he said.
"Hey, I'm convinced. I'm really convinced. This guy is really good. Not only is he an excellent singer, but he even writes lyrics better than me... not bad!" Because he drank too fast, his mouth was burned. Fang Jingshan hurriedly said He spit out half of the hot tea he drank in his mouth. It was so hot that he fanned it with his hand in front of his mouth.
"Haha, slow down, no one is trying to fight you... It's really strange. I never thought I would hear the word 'I'm convinced' from you in this life! You, Fang Jingshan, used to be a very arrogant person. , claiming that the entire Xia Kingdom cannot find even one lyricist as talented as you..."
"Haha, that was in the past. When it comes to Jiang Kan, my mood is complicated, and I am a little unwilling to admit defeat, but..." Fang Jingshan put the tea cup on the table, took out a handkerchief and wiped the corners of his mouth, then held his hands He was sitting with his elbows propped on his thighs, looking at the rushing waterfall in the distance with his eyes somewhat out of focus.
"But what?"
"But to be honest, it's okay not to accept it. In fact, since the last time the animation company of Fuso Kingdom came to me and wanted to invite Jiang Kan to help them write songs, I have already had this kind of complicated thoughts..." Fang Jingshan's words were filled with emotion. Some joking tone, but this is not to others, but to myself.
"I pride myself on being one of the best people in the current Xia Kingdom music circle. When it comes to writing lyrics for songs, I feel that I am undoubtedly the number one in the country."
"But when people know about me, not only do they not ask me to write songs, but they also want to introduce other creators through me!"
"Do you know how I felt at that time? It's like when we were on a blind date, someone didn't like me, but instead liked my buddy, and asked me to help bring him the love letter she wrote!"
"What a shame, what a shame! What a shame! I had to ask them to accept my nephew's job at that time. How could I bear this tone?"
"But what happened?"
""Ninja Nation" broke their ten-year-old ratings record and became their domestic national cartoon at the time."
"And its theme song "Blue Bird" became second in the Fuso National Songs Ranking that month, with more than 8 million downloads, second only to the popularity of their red and white singer Toshizuki Watanabe that month. New song!”
"I lied to myself at the time and said that he was just lucky. The blind cat ran into a dead mouse. It was because the cartoon was well done that it became famous." Fang Jingshan's eyes were always watching The waterfall rushing down in the distance, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, as if he was mocking his own short-sightedness.
"But the slap in the face is coming soon..."
"Later, another animation company there asked Jiang Kan to help compose, write and sing a new song, "I Want to Say I Love You Loudly", have you heard of it? It's an animation about high school students' basketball."
"I thought his previous "Blue Bird" was just a flash of inspiration or bad luck."
"Who knew that the performance of this song was even more exaggerated! Not only did "Slam Dunk Boy" reach a super high ratings of 5.9%, this song also completely resounded throughout the Fuso Kingdom, taking the lead in the new song rankings that month. With more than 10% of the second place, it has become the number one single, and it is a song similar to the 'Second National Anthem' that almost every Fuso person can sing!"
"Haha... Only then did I realize that this is indeed his real ability. This is really not something that can be achieved by just relying on bad luck..." He shook his head blankly, his tone full of sighs. .
"That's why you came to persuade me to compete with him in the arena. You want to use my huge popularity and past fame in the domestic music scene to compete with him head-on and see who is the real number one lyricist. ?" Zhou Tianwang's words were very straightforward, but his tone and mood did not change much, and he was always smiling.
After all, he and Lao Fang have been partners for so many years and have long been close friends who can communicate with each other in souls. It is not worth getting angry and dissatisfied over such a trivial matter.
"Yeah, so I just... what is encouragement? Can you please be polite? I'm encouraging you to stop lying around and being an idle fish all day long. Get up and move around a little to show off to the newcomers in the music industry. Let's take a look at our glory back then!" Fang Jingshan turned around and rolled his eyes at him, saying angrily.
"Yes, I know you think so. Didn't I cooperate with you? I have released new songs for three consecutive months. To be honest, I composed the music very seriously and sang it very seriously. But There’s no paddling around to catch up on errands!”
"I know, but it's precisely because I know you didn't do your job that I can truly see how terrifying and shocking Jiang Kan's talent is..."
"Alas..." Fang Jingshan sighed and rubbed his somewhat cold face with both hands until some rosy blood appeared on his face.
"Yes, "Mountains and Rivers" in January, "Relieve Sorrow" last month, and "Exaggeration" last month... three songs, three different styles, three different interpretation methods... " King Zhou Tian also shook his head with a helpless smile, echoed his old friend's words, and expressed his true feelings.
"When he sang "Mountains and Rivers", I was shocked. Zhao Yu's high female voice did not suppress his RAp part! When I listened to it for the first time, I felt like I was seeing a fairy. , what a strong lung capacity, solid singing skills, and God-given voice it takes to accomplish such a feat!"
"If you still didn't understand this at the time, then watch the variety show on Hunan Satellite TV. A group of so-called 'up-and-coming singers' sang with Zhao Yu 6 to 1 on the stage. As a backup dancer, you can compare how rare the power Jiang Kan burst out when he sang duet with her..."
"What's even more impressive is that the song "Mountains and Rivers" itself was written by Jiang Kan himself..."
"Tsk tsk...I wanted to kneel down to him at that time. Is this really a human being? Is this really something that a male human being can do? Anyway, if it comes to me, I can't achieve his high level. ..." When he said this, Fang Jingshan turned his head and glanced at him. He said nothing, but his eyes were
"Believe your ghost".
"Really, don't believe it. The first time I listened to "Mountains and Rivers", my hair stood on end. This song is majestic and majestic. I'm not really suitable to sing such a song, but I was able to sing it with ease. , he seems to be able to sing any kind of songs, and I am very convinced of him." Zhou Tianwang spread his hands and said with a pursed lips.
"And "Xiaochou" is also a very deep song. To be honest, I haven't heard such a deep song in so many years. It even reminded me of the days when I first entered the music scene. I still Do you remember when I was a backup dancer for other singers? I wore all kinds of messy costumes on my face and just used it as a background for others. No one remembers my appearance." When talking about his past, Zhou Tianwang's expression was the same. It changed again and again, but in the end it turned into a helpless turbid air, which he spit out for a long time.
"And "Exaggerated" hit my heart even more. Do you still remember the 'All-powerful Newcomer Award' awarded to me back then?"
"Obviously I was the winner. I was holding the trophy and posing there, but those reporters rushed to interview my opponent. It was so embarrassing... If I had listened to "Exaggerated" at that time, I would definitely have sung it too.
"I was 18 when I was on the award stage, and I stood there like a gangster, hahahaha~" Fang Jingshan did not speak again this time, but silently stared at the middle-aged and slightly fat man next to him.
His starting point was very humble, just an ordinary assistant. His road to fame was very bumpy. No one valued him, and no one cheered for him. He relied on his amazing talent and diligent practice to gradually enter the public's field of vision and be gradually accepted by people.
His achievements are extremely brilliant. After becoming famous, he won the best singer of the year for eight consecutive years. He has composed more than 20 albums, each of which has sold super platinum sales. He is the best in the country and no one can match it.
But now, while he is lamenting his past, he has such high regard for a newcomer like Jiang Kan... Hehe, Jiang Kan, how could you possibly make our King Zhou favor you so favorably? ah!
"Huh..." Maybe this is a new generation replacing the old, with talented people emerging from generation to generation? Fang Jingshan shook his head and sighed helplessly but with relief.
"So, I won't release new songs this month, and let him show off himself properly. To be honest, such a fierce newcomer can appear in Xia Guo's singing circle - even though he is also forty years old. I’m still very happy. At least Xia Guo’s music successor has someone, but if he is willing, he still has at least twenty years for him to fight hard..."
"Haha, Xia Yu is the coolest. When I said this sentence at the beginning, I believed it deeply, but now, I am tired of writing and I am tired of singing. Now that talented people have appeared, I can also resist. If you say this, then I can continue to have a good rest, so why not?" As he said this, he twisted his body into a more comfortable position and slept more comfortably on the recliner.
"Hey, you, you have such a lazy temperament!" Fang Jingshan pointed at him with a wry smile. Finally, he no longer supported his thighs, but followed his example and lay back, feeling comfortable. Lie down in a good position.
The two of them just looked at the rushing waterfall not far ahead with smiles on their faces, relaxed and said nothing, and silently enjoyed the sunny afternoon.
…
"Has it been released?" In a large villa in Shanghai, Murong Cheng asked the assistant who just walked in while drinking a cup of steaming coffee.
"It has been released, boss." Assistant Xiao Liu replied respectfully.
"Very good. It is said this month that Zhou Shengjie has been beaten by Jiang Kan and has stopped singing. Then it is up to me to prove to the world that the King of Heaven will always be the King of Heaven, and the first-tier singers are still far behind us." He waved with satisfaction. After waving his hand, Xiao Liu respectfully exited the door.
"Haha, I, Murong Tianwang, spent more than half a month recording this song "Pure White Love" seriously and carefully. I will definitely be able to defeat other opponents and be on the April album. The winner of the new song chart!”
"Jiang Kan, what are you going to use to fight me? Don't think that you are invincible after defeating Zhou Shengjie, an idle fish who has been lying down for so many years. He and I are different. This is when we are young and have strong fighting spirit. !Ha ha ha ha!"
"By the way, what's the name of the song Jiang Kan released this month? Xiao Liu, Xiao Liu!" The assistant who had just gone out and hadn't gone far immediately ran back in a hurry, opened the door and stood next to Murong Cheng, waiting respectfully. Ask him questions.
"What new song did Jiang Kan release this month? It's a song called "Lady Luxury Fragrance". I listened to it and it should be a pop song that combines folk song style. It's similar to the song he and Zhao Yu sang together before. The song "The Most Dazzling Ethnic Style" is a bit similar, but that song is from the Mongolian ethnic group, and this one seems to be related to the Yi ethnic group..." As expected of the King's assistant, Xiao Liu still has a very comprehensive grasp of the information in the music world. He would get to know everyone and everything that had anything to do with his boss and then keep it in his mind. After all, Murong Cheng was usually not very willing to learn about trivial matters in person, and always regarded him as an encyclopedia and notebook. Ben used it.
""Camera Madam"? What the hell is this? There's also a lady taking the camera?" Murong Cheng didn't understand for a moment and asked with a frown.
"Oh, it's luxurious luxury, the fragrance is fragrant, the lady is my wife, the lady, it is about an ancient female official of the Yi ethnic group in Sichuan Province, who made great contributions to promoting regional prosperity and ethnic cultural exchanges. "Xiao Liu introduced it carefully and patted his chest mentally. Fortunately, he had already learned about Jiang Kan's new songs before. If he didn't understand something, he would search for it himself, so he knew that the boss might know it. When asked, luckily I was prepared.
"Well, I understand, that's what happened... But if he doesn't write those popular songs that reveal social reality that he is good at, such as "Xiaochou" and "Exaggeration", what's the point of writing such pseudo-folk songs? ?”
"By the way, speaking of Zhao Yu...he sang this song alone this time, not with Zhao Yu, right? Is it possible that he could take advantage of her?"
"Yes, boss, I have heard it. He sang it alone, without Zhao Tianhou's participation." Xiao Liu replied respectfully and immediately, with a very affirmative tone.
"Haha, that's good. I don't have to worry about him being able to take advantage of that guy Zhao Yu. With his own fans, I don't think he will be so crazy in supporting such a folk song. Him?" Murong Cheng laughed and said, if Jiang Kan really wants to change his style and follow the folk song route, but it cannot arouse widespread resonance among the people at the bottom, maybe he will really have a chance to overthrow him this month and take the opportunity to take the first place. The crown is in the bag!
