February 15, 1999.
Lunar New Year's eve.
"The girl across from you, look here, look here, look here."
"The performance here is wonderful, please don't pretend to ignore it..."
Brother Qi, who wore half-long hair, sang his masterpiece "The Girl Opposite Look Over" with a smile on his face.
Brother Xiao Qi, who is popular all over the country, appeared in the Spring Festival Gala for the first time this year. His program is also one of the biggest highlights of this year's Spring Festival Gala.
These days, whether a singer can attend the Spring Festival Gala or not is a completely different concept.
Brother Xiao Qi has indeed been very popular in the past two years, but in terms of national status, it is definitely not as good as the last Spring Festival Gala.
After all, the Spring Festival Gala is one of the most watched programs in the world.
Especially in the 1990s, when the Internet was in its ascendant, television was the mainstream way for people to see the world.
Seeing Brother Xiao Qi happily performing on stage, there was a hint of throbbing in his silent eyes.
"how?"
"Want to go to the Spring Festival Gala too?"
Li Jie, who was sitting on the sofa nearby, keenly captured the silent emotion.
"That's the Spring Festival Gala!"
Silence rolled his eyes. There was no need for the two of them to hold things in private. In the eyes of others, the younger brother was a genius writer and creative person.
But in her eyes, these labels all have to be put aside.
Younger brother is the number one label.
"Do not worry."
"I guarantee that you will go to the Spring Festival Gala. If you can't go to the Spring Festival Gala next year, there will definitely be a place for you later."
It's just a matter of pushing someone to attend the Spring Festival Gala, but for Li Jie, it's still a matter of control.
The prerequisite for participating in the Spring Festival Gala is to be popular. In this regard, Silence is undoubtedly qualified. Last year's debut album was popular for more than half a year.
Fully qualified.
Moreover, the songs in the "Shen Miaomiao" album are also very healthy and have no sensitive content. Songs like "Invisible Wings" and "First Dream" are very positive songs.
Similar songs fit the theme of the Spring Festival Gala very well.
Compared with "The Girl Opposite Looks Over", it is definitely much more relevant.
Brother Xiao Qi, can you sing?
Silence, unable to sing?
The reason why the Spring Festival Gala program team did not invite Shen Mo was firstly because she was only popular for a short period of time, and secondly, it was also because she had few resources.
The Spring Festival Gala is not something you just want to attend.
Fire is only a sufficient condition, while resources, relationships, and connections are necessary conditions.
This is where Silence suffers.
Don't underestimate those record companies, they provide more than just distribution channels.
Just take part in the Spring Festival Gala. If you don’t have certain public relations skills, why should you be allowed to take part?
Unless you are recognized as the king or queen of the music industry, you may be qualified to break through the circle.
That's it, it depends on whether the symbol fits the theme.
The silence of the single-running gang naturally has no public relations ability.
However, it doesn’t have to be PR.
Plant the sycamore tree, and the phoenix will come to live there.
This year happens to be the 50th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China. On this occasion, Li Jie is planning to send an album to Silence to celebrate the birthday of the motherland.
He has already 'chosen' the title song.
"Wanjiang"!
"The red sun rises in the east, and its avenues are filled with glowing light.
How lucky I am to be born in your arms
With the same blood flowing,
Difficulties are shared, blessings are shared, and the backbone is straightened
Our country has thousands of borders, with benevolence and love
Faith that lasts for thousands of years..."
Not to mention anything else, Wanjiang's lyrics are definitely T1 level. Although they are not as good as those classic popular songs, the era is different and the environment is different.
Being able to write such a song in an era full of impetuousness is absolutely commendable.
In addition to "Wanjiang", Li Jie also selected "Wishful", "Young China", "Dislocated Time and Space" (May 4th Special Edition), "Stars and Sea", and "Descendants of the Dragon".
So far, he has only selected these six songs.
There is also a song called "Chi Ling" that Li Jie has not yet decided whether to include in this new album.
"Chi Ling" can be regarded as a king-level song.
It especially tests your singing skills.
It doesn't mean that Silence can't sing when it comes to drama, but his skills still need to be polished.
certainly.
If silence is really not enough, it is not impossible to ask a professional theater person to come over and record.
Not everyone is Li Yugang.
As for drama, he also relies on talent.
A top-notch singer like Tan Jing has reached the pinnacle of her skills and so on, but when it comes to singing, the taste is still a bit lacking.
This is not a matter of technique.
If you don't have a deep foundation in drama and top-notch talent, you won't be able to sing with that kind of drama.
Shen Sheng lacked both foundation and opera talent. After practicing hard, she could handle laymen, but in front of real opera masters, the few lines she sang were a bit inadequate.
Since we are recording songs, of course we must pursue the best results.
In the future, if I perform live, I will either use the recorded chorus or sing it myself.
It’s not impossible to choose to sing by yourself.
If you are not a real person in the industry, it is difficult to distinguish the standard.
"Sister, after the new year, I will find an opera teacher."
"On the third day of the Lunar New Year, Lao Huang will take you there to pay New Year greetings."
"Opera teacher?"
Hearing this, Shen Mo looked confused.
what's going on?
It's so good. How did you arrange this?
“On your third album, there are a few songs that require drama.”
Li Jie explained with a smile.
"Of course, when you record a song, you will definitely hire professionals to record the drama part, but if it's a live performance, you have to do the drama part yourself."
"So, it is still necessary to learn opera."
"Besides, pronunciation skills are all the same. Our country's opera art has so many years of history. If you learn it, you can't go wrong."
"oh."
Hearing this, Shen Mo nodded first, and then she immediately reacted and sat up straight from the sofa.
"its not right?"
"Third album?"
"My second album hasn't been released yet?"
"Why are you sending the third one?"
Li Jie smiled: "What, you're not happy about releasing an album?"
"never mind."
"I won't tease you anymore."
"Isn't this the 50th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China? As sons and daughters of China, of course we must give gifts to our motherland."
“This album is different than a normal album.”
"The songs included are all songs that are more in line with the theme of the tribute, and there will be fewer songs included, about six or seven songs."
"It's kind of a mini album."
"Fine."
Silence said: "You are the boss, you can decide."
To be honest, the word "gift" is a bit too far away for Silence.
Now, her mentality has not completely changed. In her heart, she is still an ordinary ordinary person.
Her songs are indeed very popular.
But people are not very red.
She herself has not experienced the explosive dividends. She still acts like an ordinary person when traveling.
Moreover, in her impression, giving gifts is not something ordinary people do, it is something only government agencies do.
