Chapter 197 Why are Yang Qian's songs off the shelves? (2/3 ask for a monthly ticket)
"Yang Qian? Teacher Chai, are you talking about the Yang Qian who sang "Goodbye"?"
When he heard Chai Jiang say that the new generation singer with championship potential was Yang Qian, Jin Ke's expression was very subtle. There was no special surprise, but more hesitation.
"Have you known Yang Qian before?"
Chai Jiang knew it roughly by looking at his reaction.
But if you think about it carefully, this is indeed the case.
Although Yang Qian does not follow the Internet celebrity route, he is not unknown either. Some of his current songs have always been quite popular on the Internet.
In order to ensure the quality of the contestants, the program team of "Chinese Voice" has been searching for talents from all over the country and even from the Chinese music circles around the world. There is no reason not to pay attention to Yang Qian, who has become famous online.
"We noticed him in July last year before the blind auditions started recording, but he didn't accept our invitation."
Jin Ke remembered this young man. Their blind audition list had actually come out, and he started preparing for the first blind audition recording in full swing.
Because such a student singer suddenly appeared on the Internet and became very popular, Jin Ke and his director team even held a special meeting to discuss whether to invite Yang Qian.
Of course, for Jin Ke and his directing team at that time, the final decision to invite Yang Qian was not because of how good he sang. The key was that he was topical!
Let him sing a song in a blind selection. Even if the instructor doesn't turn around, it will be enough to attract public attention.
Yang Qian didn't accept the invitation, and Jin Ke didn't take it too seriously. After all, he was just a young singer.
Now that Chai Jiang mentioned Yang Qian's name again, Jin Ke recalled this past event.
But he felt very strange, why did Chai Jiang say that Yang Qian was the champion?
If it was really that great, their director team would definitely not give up inviting Yang Qian so easily.
But the problem is, as far as Yang Qian's performance when he sang "Goodbye" at the graduation ceremony, any contestant who passed the blind audition on "Chinese Voice" in the past would have been better than him.
Where is the champion picture?
"Look, I said you can't invite him. Although I haven't known this kid for a long time, and he is usually humble and polite, he still has such arrogance in his bones. He should not be willing to make his debut through the draft."
Chai Jiang laughed, making Jin Ke feel even more awkward.
"Teacher Chai, are you saying that Yang Qian's creative level is very high, so you suggest that we invite him to come to "Chinese Voice"? But just because his creative level is high, it shouldn't be enough, right?"
"In the ninth season last year, we invited a group of singers with relatively high originality to our stage. Although they received a lot of attention, they were also criticized for their insufficient singing skills. "Chinese is Good"
"Voice" became "Chinese is so original"..."
Jin Ke hesitated for a moment and decided to express his opinion tactfully.
Whether the singer sings well and whether his voice is attractive, in fact, the audience of "Chinese Voice" has the most say.
In the past, the focus was on good voices and the discovery of talented singers. Only then was "Chinese Voice" able to stand out from many variety shows.
But last year Jinke and the others wanted to play the card of original singers, but they obviously went astray.
Originally, "Good Chinese Voice" still had some die-hard viewers who were looking for amateur singers with good voices, but now they have abandoned their original intention. Not many new viewers have been attracted, but a lot of old viewers have been lost!
However, these are also some of the problems that the Chinese music scene is facing now.
Good singers cannot find good songs to sing. And good songwriters, no matter how bad their singing is, want to insist on singing it themselves as long as they write a new song.
This is obviously not a good phenomenon.
After all, songs and singers complement each other. If a good song is sung by a bad singer, the song may be buried.
And if a good song can find a singer who suits it, then its vitality will truly bloom!
But in the traffic era, traffic is king. If a singer sings a popular song, the singer will obviously gain greater benefits.
This part of the income will not be distributed to the original creator of the song. The original creator of the song can only remain unknown, and sometimes even has to work hard to defend his rights.
In such a market, how can musicians be able to concentrate on making music?
No one wants to see a singer make all the money, but he can only get tens of thousands of yuan in buyout fees for the songs he worked so hard to create, or not even a cent...
Therefore, in such a market environment, it is becoming more and more difficult for good professional singers to find songs that suit them. It is not difficult to imagine that there are endless cases of good musicians using their poor voices to "bury" their own works.
Got it!
Of course, Jin Ke can't blame these original singers. "Chinese Voice" is also one of the driving forces behind the market's deterioration.
In the past, they used other people's songs on the program, and even though the price was not agreed upon and the authorization was not obtained, they still forced it to be broadcast, causing infringement of the creators. These practices are destroying the overall environment.
What then leads them to reap the consequences now?
How can it make sense to want to sell bread made by others without giving others money?
If this is the case, others might as well open their own shop to sell it. Even though their sales ability may not be good, or it may delay their time to make bread, at least the real money earned will fall into their own hands!
It's a bit far-fetched. Chai Jiang won't discuss market issues with Jin Ke now.
Chai Jiang agreed with Jin Ke's statement that the original singer's voice was not good enough, but he implicitly said that Yang Qian's singing skills were not good enough, just like other original singers, but Chai Jiang disagreed.
"Yang Qian's singing skills are not bad. Are your impressions of him still the same as before last July? Xiao Wei can use his mobile phone to search for his songs."
Chai Jiang heard the clues. He pointed to the young female assistant director with a smile and asked the young man to do it. She should be more familiar with the use of mobile phones.
"Yang Qian is one of the few talents I have ever seen in the music world who is both good at singing and writing!"
It’s not that there aren’t any, it’s mainly that there are too few and they are rare.
Of course, there were not many singers in the past, and there were not many singers and composers in any era who could sing well.
"If he didn't sing well enough, and his voice and emotions could move people, my creative ability alone wouldn't be enough for me to recommend him to you."
Chai Jiang was quite proud of himself.
In fact, Yang Qian is more suitable to be on another program that features original songs, but that program has been discontinued long ago...
Just when Chai Jiang was still saying that Yang Qian was willing to spend time making music and polishing his singing skills, Xiao Wei, whom he had just named and asked for, raised his head in confusion.
"Teacher Chai, why are all Yang Qian's works removed from the shelves? It's the same on several different platforms. I see he has many original songs!"
On the mobile phone held by Xiao Wei, many of the original and original songs under Yang Qian's name on the music platform displayed were grayed out.
"Did something happen to him? Hey, he wrote so many songs! We just heard him sing "Goodbye" in July last year."
Jin Ke took the phone and looked at it with Chai Jiang. He was confused and surprised at the same time.
What surprised him was that he didn't know that Yang Qian had such strong creative ability and had written so many songs quietly.
What’s confusing is why Yang Qian’s songs have been removed from the shelves?
The key is that all platforms have been removed from the shelves, and it feels like being blocked.
That's not true, right? Who would go to such great lengths to deal with a little-known singer?
And if it is really blocked, and the blocking is so strong, there should be some kind of announcement.
Although Jin Ke doesn't pay much attention to short videos and the circle of Internet celebrities, he is still very well-informed about the news in the industry.
"It shouldn't be. What could happen to him?"
Chai Jiang also felt strange.
With Yang Qian's back leaning against Li Guangmin, most people really can't touch him.
Even if he was moved, Li Guangmin would at least find other people, such as himself, for help.
But Chai Jiang never heard that Yang Qian had committed any crime!
"It's strange. Last week, I collaborated with him on a song. You should know this. It was organized by the Guangdong Provincial TV Station. Stars from both sides of the Taiwan Strait and three places came here, including Cai Huahong, Kong Qiang, Xie Fei, Lu
Miao...more than 20 people recorded his songs!"
Chai Jiang took out his mobile phone as he spoke.
“So many people just record Yang Qian’s songs?”
Jin Ke did know, but he didn't know that this matter had something to do with Yang Qian.
