Ye Weiyang naturally knew the expectations of fans.

It’s not that he doesn’t have to go online.

However, the fact that the non-closing band will try to enter the European and American markets next year is not suitable for premature disclosure now.

The first important thing in front of me is the Chinese language second major of the band that is open.

Although Ye Weiyang's fame now takes two years in China, and his popularity almost covers people in his teens to forties, the band is still a little bit behind after all.

There is only one album, but it is still a little thin.

Liu Yunqing has been seriously discussing with Ye Weiyang the style definition of the band’s new album and the selection of songs.

The first "Poetry of Post-Youth", the theme of the entire album is "Post-Youth", while the style tends to be popular rock.

For the second album this time, Ye Weiyang plans to try out a real rock album.

When he personally participated in variety shows, he sang mostly popular pop songs, but the band was a serious band.

If possible, I will definitely make my own rock album, otherwise I will be embarrassed to say that I am a band when I go out.

After all, bands that do not play rock, at least in China, will not be regarded as bands, but only as “bands” and “combinations”.

And if you want to make a rock album, it is obvious that Ye Weiyang can no longer pretend to be others.

He had to do the entire album himself, and he had to do all the ten album songs by himself, and he could not collect the songs anymore.

Which rock band can sing songs written by others?

Those who play rock only believe in themselves. The band’s songs are written and sung by themselves. If there is no good song, it is normal for a band to not release albums for three or four years. It is better to have nothing than to be too bad.

This is also why rock is hailed as the least commercial style.

Many rock bands release albums very frequently, and they are more diligent in publishing one in three to five years.

Some bands that are well-known in the rock circle may have only made one or two official albums in the industry for more than ten years.

As for pop singers, it is normal for them to release one album a year during the rising period.

Those idol groups are even more exaggerated. One official album and two small EP albums can be released in a year when the action is fast.

This is "commercialization"!

Although Ye Weiyang chose to embrace commercialization and popularization, if he decided to make a real rock album in the next chapter of the album, he would choose a very rock-speaking way to make this album instead of selling dog meat under the guise of sheep.

How come you make this album very "rock"?

Of course, it starts with "writing" all the songs by themselves.

After confirming that the theme of the next album with Liu Yunqing was rock, Ye Weiyang began to think about the issue of choosing songs.

To be honest, in the Chinese music scene in the past, there was really nothing that was widely known in the mainstream music scene.

The golden period of rock in the 1980s and 1990s does not count.

Since 2005, there have been few pure rock songs that have become popular songs.

Ye Weiyang can only choose from the most well-known songs in the rock circle.

For example, "Goodbye Jack", "Hundred Thousand Hippies", "Song of the Highway", "Hey! Girl", "Missed by Love", "Guide to Waste in Life", "People Without Ideals Don't Be Sad", "Don't Ask Me What Disco", "Boy Don't Cry", "Kill That Shijiazhuang Man", "Big Windmill"...

These songs are relatively acceptable to the public in Chinese rock, and have been more or less popular.

To be honest, when he reaches Ye Weiyang's current fame, he no longer needs anyone to recognize him in pop music.

It can be said that no matter what album he releases, many people will definitely pay for it.

But again, fame is a double-edged sword.

With Ye Weiyang and the Broadbang Band so well-known, Ye Weiyang needs to consider when making an album. It is no longer possible that he can make any songs he likes.

If he made a very hard-core rock album, such as copying the magical specialty of "Universal Youth Hostel", it can be imagined that this album would definitely receive extremely high praise in the rock circle.

After all, this album by Wan Qing in his previous life is hailed as a god-like specialty by the rock circle, and is the least controversial rock-like specialty 10 years later. It is recognized as a good one in the entire rock circle.

It is definitely excellent enough in this world.

But the premise of all this is based on the "rock circle".

For most ordinary listeners and those fans who only like pop songs, what is "Universal Youth Hostel"?

Too unpleasant!

There is only one song "Killing the Stone" that has been accepted by the public, and the other songs on the album are basically unknown to anyone.

If Ye Weiyang really copied "Universal Youth Hostel" and although the album sales may not be bad, fans who bought the album for his reputation would definitely be disappointed after listening to this album.

Because they can't appreciate this kind of rock music at all.

What they like is pop, and the least they have to cater to popular pop rock!

Rock that is not commercialized is destined to be just a niche circle!

The audience is incomparable to popularity.

If you want to be popular, famous, and become a nationally famous big band, you must embrace the popularity.

The band chose to embrace the trend without closing.

Since he made such a choice, Ye Weiyang can no longer turn back to make pure rock songs, because 80% of their band fans listen to popular songs, and at most they can accept popular rock songs.

Such a good song "Shan Hai" is in the hearts of fans of the band, but it may be difficult for even the top five to be ranked in.

But it is a shame if a band doesn't have a real rock album.

Fortunately, Ye Weiyang is not an ordinary person, he has a jealousy!

As a person with memories of his past lives, he was able to pick out a few songs from thousands of niche rock songs that broke through niche culture and were accepted by the public.

For example, "Mountains and Seas", "Chasing Dreams and Craving the Heart", and "The Brightest Star in the Night Sky", are a few popular pure rock songs.

After the band released these songs in this world, they also received a lot of praise!

It is precisely because of these attempts that Ye Weiyang dared to make up his mind to make a real rock album!

Moreover, this rock album will bring together the most exquisite Chinese rock music that can not only be recognized in the niche rock circle, but also be accepted by the public!

Although, even if the album is selected and released, it may not be as popular as "Blue and White Porcelain" and "Sunny Day".

However, at least it can allow many fans who have never been exposed to rock music to re-examine "rock music"!

What Ye Weiyang wants to do is not an album that allows the existing rock circle to accept and recognize him.

What he wants to do is an album that makes people who originally didn't listen to rock music and don't like rock music re-approve and accept rock music!

Let them find that rock music is not that difficult to accept, and that excellent rock music can also be loved and recognized by the public!

In this way, more young people will be able to fall in love with rock music and rock culture again!

Let them know that the real rock songs are not only obscure and difficult to understand, but also songs like "Killing Stone" that are not inferior to the pandemic at all!

Only in this way can we truly expand the audience of rock music!

Instead of letting rock and roll always be in a niche cultural circle.

Since folk songs can go from niche music to popular music, why can’t rock roll?

What's more, rock has been brilliant!
