In fact, there is a story hidden in this lyric about the dance at my alma mater when I was 18 years old. Huang Weiwen, the composer of "Exaggerated" himself, directly quoted the sentence "I was 18, my alma mater dance" on CERTYY:
"I have a dream of a Coliseum. Like many Hong Kong people, I decided when I was very young to hold a solo concert in the Coliseum when I grow up. The correct day should be '18th of that year, the alma mater dance' when.
What a pity. I soon discovered that I was actually a person who couldn’t sing, but the most beautiful thing in a person is imagination. How could a person who couldn’t sing manage to open six solo exhibitions in the Coliseum? I thought of my method.
Six nights in a row, tonight is the last night. Friends around me keep asking me, will you be the first person to hold a concert in the Coliseum as a lyricist? I haven't checked it because it's not what I'm pursuing. The first thing I'm pursuing is that I hope I can be the first person to hold a concert in the Coliseum without losing weight. I promise everyone there will be an exception tonight. Plump evening. "
Huang Weiwen himself did not express much resistance when he recalled "the eighteenth year of that year, the dance at his alma mater". On the contrary, he regarded it as the starting point of a beautiful journey.
Therefore, although the Cantonese version of "Pompous" is full of the sadness and helplessness of little people, it is not a song of self-pity. Instead, I work hard to gain attention and work hard to climb up. I look forward to one day standing on the stage where everyone is watching and letting everyone see "me".
Although at that time, "I" stood like a gangster at the dance, a very ordinary person, but "I" did not feel sorry for myself, I just regarded this moment as the starting point, and all future achievements will start from this moment.
"Paying attention can cure hunger
If you have never obtained it, you will know why I am
Many big moves make these mistakes
Do you think I'm sick if you ask people to see me?"
In the prelude to the second chorus, Wang Xuan's high-pitched singing was accompanied by roars, unyielding and unwilling. The singing went straight to the sky and suddenly spread throughout the nine heavens and ten places, making everyone unable to help but be shocked.
At this moment, many people at the scene stood up unconsciously.
Countless viewers in front of the TV stood up unconsciously, looking at the figure on the stage with burning eyes.
Under the spotlight, Wang Xuan held the microphone in one hand and swayed with the singing with the other. His body also swayed and swayed with the music, as if he was crazy.
Just like what the lyrics say, if I make these mistakes and make people look at me, am I considered sick? Then, just think that I am sick!
"You think I'm exaggerating?
Exaggerating just because I'm scared
Will it be noticed if it looks like wood or stone?
In fact, I'm afraid of being forgotten, so I'll enlarge it and show it.
I’m very uneasy, how can I be elegant?
Does the world still praise silence?
If it’s not explosive enough, how can it be a topic?
Let me praise you as a great entertainer.”
The moment the drums, piano and other musical instruments started to sound, Wang Xuan's singing exploded directly on the stage, making everyone numb all over, and making everyone's eyes filled with shock and their souls trembling.
"It's too strong. Wang Xuan is really too strong. This kind of penetrating power..."
"With invincible creative ability, incomparable singing skills, and invincible voice, Wang Xuan is simply the darling of God." At this moment, many people couldn't help but have this thought.
The next moment, Wang Xuan started singing:
"Not many lucky people
If you have never been there, you will know why I am
Work ten times harder to highlight one
Are normal people enough for me to be argumentative?"
Wang Xuan's singing voice turned from high to low, and coupled with the lyrics, everyone was stunned.
They just thought that Wang Xuan was God's favorite, but Wang Xuan told them that there were not many lucky people, and he was not. Everything he had was earned with ten times the pain, which was very controversial.
is that so?
Is there really no beloved in this world?
"You call me grandiose.
Don’t be afraid if you add a few boos
If I'm bored when I'm there
Did you watch the performance?
Hysterical enough?
Dren the flowers with tears
I just want you to be surprised
Do I seem to have ceased to exist?
The veins are also visible due to increased betting
Do I know that words exist now?”
If in the previous two choruses, Wang Xuan’s singing was full of the sadness of a small person, helpless and unwilling, and he was afraid that others would not understand the loneliness behind his exaggeration, then now, Wang Xuan’s singing has an extra layer of it. Relieved.
He has been able to accept other people's looks and opinions calmly, even if they are ridiculed or ridiculed. Just be exaggerated, it's better than being boring and cold, isn't it? If my performance is boring and boring, will you still watch it?
If this is not hysterical enough, let me shed tears. It should surprise you, right? If that doesn't work, just increase the bet and the veins will show up. In this way, you should have noticed my existence, right?
As soon as this chorus came out, everyone was stunned. They felt the humility, sadness, helplessness, and neglected loneliness of the protagonist of the song, and they also felt his determination to work hard and move forward. That’s why he was exaggerated to gain attention, so he tried his best, even with tears in his eyes, and with his veins showing, just so that others could notice his existence.
Many people are infected. It was as if there was sand in his eyes, and they gradually became blurred.
"Look at me, stop looking at the ceiling
I am not your cup of tea
You can also drink as much as you like
Don’t forget that someone is speaking out for you.”
After Wang Xuan finished singing, the scene was quiet. In front of the TV, many people watching Suning TV's National Day Gala were also quiet. It was not until the host came out to thank Wang Xuan for dedicating a wonderful song to everyone that many people came back to their senses. Come.
Afterwards, warm applause finally broke out. Many people still had tears in their eyes, applauding wildly, and their hands were red.
"Awesome, awesome! This song is invincible!"
"It is indeed invincible, but even more invincible is Wang Xuan. One song has two words, and the Mandarin and Cantonese versions are all classics. It's really amazing. I don't know how Wang Xuan does it."
"Kneel down to Wang Xuan."
"Wang Xuan YYDS!"
There was a lot of discussion at the scene, and there was also discussion online. Topics related to Wang Xuan and "Exaggerated" directly flooded the Internet. Then it attracted countless crowds of melon-eating people.
"What's going on? Why are you all playing Wang Xuan and "Exaggerated"?" asked the confused crowd.
"You can tell at a glance that you didn't watch Suning TV's National Day Gala just now, right?"
"No, I'm watching the CCTV National Day Gala."
"Then your losses are huge. Wang Xuan just sang "Exaggerated" at Suning TV's National Day Gala..."
"So what? He has sung this song before in the "King of Masked Singer" finals. I have listened to it countless times. Where does the loss begin?"
"I haven't finished speaking yet. What Wang Xuan sang was not the version of "Floating" in the finals, but the Cantonese version of "Floating"."
"Ah? There's also a Cantonese version of "Exaggerated"?"
"Not only is there a Cantonese version of "Flavor", but this version of "Flavor" is also a classic, and it is just as good as the Mandarin version of "Flavor". Anyway, I feel that the Cantonese version of "Flavor" is more classic than the Mandarin version of "Flavor", of course. Maybe it’s because I speak Cantonese and I feel better listening to the Cantonese version.”
"Ah? Then wouldn't it be a big loss for me!"
"Otherwise? Just pray that it won't be broadcast again tomorrow, otherwise you will really suffer a big loss."
.....
This netizen who felt that he had suffered a big loss was not alone. After learning that Wang Xuan actually sang a Cantonese version of "Pompous" on the stage of Suning TV's National Day Gala, those who had not watched Suning TV's National Day Gala felt that they had suffered a big loss. Big.
Fortunately, after checking the official website of Suning TV, they found that the National Day Gala would be re-broadcast the next day. These people breathed a sigh of relief and secretly made up their minds not to miss the re-broadcast.
Later, when they learned that Wang Xuan had another song for the finale, everyone quickly focused on the Suning TV Spring Festival Gala, not daring to miss it again. Although the repertoire has been released, Wang Xuan's finale song is "Broad Sea and Sky" that he sang on the "King of Masked Singer" finals, but God knows if this song "Broad Sea and Sky" will be another version?
Thanks to this, the ratings of Suning TV's National Day Gala soared significantly. The "Boundless Sea and Sky" sung by Wang Xuan later was naturally the Cantonese version, which had already been sung on the stage of the "King of Masked Singer" finals, but the audience was not disappointed.
This is "Boundless Sea and Sky". No matter how much I listen to it, I never get tired of it. "Broader Sea and Sky" has almost been recognized as the ceiling level in the Chinese music world. Coupled with Wang Xuan's live performance, how can it disappoint everyone?
The National Day party is finally over.
But the topic that belongs to Wang Xuan and "Exaggeration" is far from over.
The ratings of Suning TV's National Day Gala are naturally incomparable with the ratings of CCTV's National Day Gala, but the most searched headlines and the second most searched ones are firmly occupied by Wang Xuan and "Exaggerated".
Under the headlines, there were countless comments, and countless people praised "Exaggerated" and Wang Xuan.
Some people are also asking some masters what "Exaggerated" is about.
There are countless answers.
But none are widely recognized. It's not that there aren't any closer answers, it's just that the answerer is not well-known and has been ignored. Finally, a well-known music critic gave an answer, and many music critics liked it. Even Gu Jiahui also liked it, and it was recognized by most people and was regarded as the authoritative answer.
"Behind the grandiosity is not only the helplessness of the little people, but also the loneliness that is not understood, as well as the persistence and desire for dreams." This is the answer given by the well-known music critic.
All in all, the Cantonese version of "Pompous" was a complete hit. And Wang Xuan, who composed the two-word Cantonese song "Exaggerated", became a god again.
The next day, the ratings of the National Day Gala on major TV stations were released.
When they saw the ratings of Suning TV's National Day Gala, other TV stations were jealous, and even CCTV was disappointed.
Because the average ratings of Suning TV's National Day Gala was as high as 3.8. At its peak, when Wang Xuan sang "Exaggerated" and "Broader Seas and Sky", the ratings were as high as 8.8.
This is just a National Day party!
You know, even the average ratings of CCTV's National Day Gala was only 12.2. As a result, the peak ratings of Suning TV's National Day Gala were as high as 8.8. What is this concept?
How can other TV stations not be so angry about this?
He who really wins Wang Xuan will win the world.
It is worth mentioning that when Wang Xuan appeared on the stage to sing, the ratings of CCTV were only 9.5, which was almost surpassed by Suning TV. When seeing this ratings, the person in charge of the CCTV National Day Gala was really frightened and broke out in a cold sweat.
If the ratings of CCTV's National Day Gala are surpassed by those of local satellite TVs, then the joke will be big, and CCTV will definitely become a joke. As the person in charge of the CCTV National Day Gala, he has to take the blame. Who told him not to invite Wang Xuan in the first place?
Although it was really not his fault that Wang Xuan was not invited. Who knew Wang Xuan was the White Tiger at the time, but the leaders didn't care that much. The ratings of CCTV's National Day Gala were actually surpassed by those of local satellite TVs, making it a laughing stock in the industry. In any case, he, the person in charge of the party, cannot escape the blame.
Fortunately!
There must be no problems with the Spring Festival Gala. He happened to be the person in charge of the Spring Festival Gala. Thinking of this, he quickly contacted Wang Xuan and repeatedly confirmed that Wang Xuan would participate in the CCTV Spring Festival Gala before he felt relieved.
After the National Day Party, Wang Xuan's popularity increased a lot. Unfortunately, Suning TV was still far behind CCTV. In the end, Wang Xuan only increased his popularity by 500,000 people. If he had participated in the CCTV National Day Party, his popularity would have at least increased. More than 1 million.
But it's also scary.
The industry suddenly discovered that Wang Xuan's popularity had reached nearly 36 million without even realizing it. Mainly how long has it been?
After the "King of Masked Singer" finals was revealed in August, Wang Xuan directly became a super star, with a popularity of 32.5 million. I originally thought that it would take at least two or three years for Wang Xuan to become an international superstar, but only a month later, Wang Xuan's popularity has actually reached 36 million. There is only about 4 million left to reach the threshold of a Uranus superstar.
4 million, is it very far?
Not really!
Anyway, at this moment, the two least popular Uranus superstars on the top floor really felt like their eyelashes were on fire.
It should be said that after Wang Xuan released his album in September and became a hit, they had a sense of urgency and took many measures, including commercial performances, concerts, endorsements... the results were also there, their popularity increased a lot, but with Wang Xuan Compared to this growth rate of popularity, it pales in comparison.
No way, roll it up!
In order to keep their positions, these two most popular Uranus superstars once again rolled up.
Then people were surprised to find that in the past, the superstars who may not have appeared a few times a year are now active on the front line frequently, and they can even be seen in variety shows.
In addition to Wang Xuan, whose popularity has increased a lot, the popularity of other artists under Tianhai, as long as they can attend the National Day Gala, has also increased a lot.
Chen Xueqi and Lin Zhixiang gained the most because they attended the CCTV National Day Gala. Chen Xueqi sang "Meet", and her popularity increased by 2 million. The total popularity is already over 18 million, and she is only 1 million away from the threshold of being a queen.
Of course, if Chen Xueqi wants to become a diva, it is not enough for her popularity to reach the threshold of a diva. She must also produce a hit album and win the title of Best Female Singer of the Year.
Lin Zhixiang sang "Laughing at the Storm", and his popularity also skyrocketed by 3 million, with the total popularity reaching 21 million, and he once again returned to the ranks of the top singers.
The popularity of Zhu Xiaoxiao, Du Chengfei, Ren Xuanran, Zhang Yaxin, and Deng Ziqing has also increased a lot. The lowest one has increased by 500,000 people, and the highest has increased by 1.5 million people.
This National Day party was quite fruitful for Tianhai.
I went through this in September.
This September, Tianhai is also full of gains.
"Fairytale" was an invincible single, and ended up with 110 million downloads. It was the last laugh and it also broke the single-month single download record set by "Heart Is Too Soft".
The "Fairy Tale" album is even more invincible, in this era where digital albums are rampant and physical albums are languishing. The "Fairy Tale" album was launched on September 1. By the end of the month, the physical album sales had reached as high as 11 million, including 7.2 million DVDs and 3.8 million CDs.
The digital album sales of "Fairy Tale" are also good, with sales of 38 million in January.
Tsk tsk tsk!
Invincible!
The album "Fairy Tale" really explains what it means to be invincible!
Unrivaled reputation and unrivaled sales!
After the album came out, it brought Tianhai more than 1 billion in revenue. Wang Xuan has almost locked in the Best Album of the Year and Best Male Singer of the Year awards.
