"Ordinary Road" has dominated the new song charts on all major platforms for a full month. Even after it was released from the new song charts, its popularity on the hot song list has remained high.
Although nearly two months have passed since the release of Han Sen's new album, the song "Ordinary Road" is still listened to by countless people, and it has always remained in the top 20 on the hot song list.
.
This made this song truly popular all over the country in a short period of time.
According to surveys, many people who like this song have more or less certain life experiences.
Especially among young and middle-aged people, it is sung without restraint.
It's just that this song, although it doesn't have any obvious virtuoso parts, is extremely difficult to sing well.
But despite this, the chorus part "I once crossed the mountains and the sea" still became popular all over the Internet during this period.
There are also countless covers by Internet celebrities and netizens on many video websites.
Like "The Lonely Warrior", this song "The Ordinary Road" has countless folk adaptations.
In the past, people only heard this song on digital albums.
I have never heard of today's live version.
Because even during the promotion period, "The Ordinary Road" was not the main song.
People never expected that the live version of the song "The Ordinary Road", performed by King Lanling, would be so touching.
…
At this moment, viewers across the country who were watching the program couldn't help but pick up the remote control and turn up the volume on the TV.
"When you are still, still fantasizing
Your tomorrow, Via Via
Will she be okay? Or worse
It’s another day for me…”
At this moment, compared to the irritable young people on the Internet.
In every corner of cities across the country.
Those people who sit in the office and work crazy overtime while secretly turning on their mobile phones to watch the live broadcast.
Those sweaty people who are busy in the kitchen preparing complementary foods for newborn babies.
Those anxious people waiting for delayed flights at unfamiliar airports.
Those people who were scolded as useless by their wives, quietly hid on the balcony, and secretly lit up a cigarette.
The moment they heard the chorus, everyone stopped what they were doing.
They looked sad.
In an instant, it seemed as if I had returned to the most fearless years of my life.
They look at the sunshine or raindrops outside the window and think of many things from their youth.
Someone might cry.
Some people will be expressionless.
Perhaps this era will inevitably become vulgar and we will not be able to fight against it.
But when some voices sounded.
There will always be many people who will silently caress their chests and feel that something is waking up.
What is the best music?
It is born for the resonance between people!
"I ruined everything I had
Just want to leave forever
I once fell into boundless darkness
Want to struggle and be unable to extricate myself
I used to be like you, like him, like the wild grass and flowers
Desperate and longing
I cry and laugh in an ordinary way..."
…
In this low-pitched singing, music critic Hu Yue, who was sitting in front of the TV, listened to the song "The Ordinary Road" and vaguely thought of the story he had heard.
He felt something in his heart, opened WeChat on his phone, and edited a text:
"It is boring to evaluate Lanling Wang's "Ordinary Road" based on the genre of music or technical indicators."
"Perhaps this song is not as showy as other contestants."
"But wasn't the original music created for the resonance between people?"
Although Hu Yue was not invited to watch the finals, she was still following the show in her own way.
After he posted this tweet, netizens rushed to comment on it almost instantly, and the popularity increased rapidly. Related hot search terms suddenly entered the top three of the hot search list.
"That's great, I agree with Fox Yue Da Da!"
"I am a viewer who has followed every episode of "The King of Masked Singer" completely. To be honest, every time I hear those singers crying and howling on the stage, I feel tired. Could it be that the evaluation criteria for this type of program can only be used
Whoever sings with a high pitch will be able to express it well? Now, this song "The Ordinary Road" by King Lanling has made me feel like I have found a sweet dew after a long drought. I am greeted by a fresh breath of fresh air. I love this song so much!"
"Before this, "The Ordinary Road" with its stunning melody and heartfelt lyrics has almost become the song I must listen to every day, Love from Pakistan!"
"The melody is indeed amazing. Among mainland composers, Han Sen's melody composition level can be undisputedly ranked in the first echelon!"
"I didn't feel anything when I heard it before, but now that I'm anxious and depressed, I listen to the live version again and I feel something special."
“Every time I listen to it I am inexplicably moved!!”
"Thank you to King Lanling and "The Ordinary Road". I hope that everyone on the road can have their own good stories to tell on this ordinary road."
The Internet is abuzz.
In the entire Weibo hot search list, ranking in the top 50, almost half of the hot search terms are related to "The Masked Singer".
This is enough to give a glimpse of the popularity of the finals of this program, which is almost universal.
With such strong exposure, the ratings of "The King of Masked Singer" are also rising rapidly.
…
In Jiangnan Satellite TV's ratings monitoring room, the monitors were dumbfounded when they looked at the straight-up ratings curve.
"exaggerate!"
"too exaggerated!"
"I thought 17% was top enough, but I didn't expect it to be above 20% now!"
"The Spring Festival Gala is only about 45%, right? Our Jiangnan TV is so arrogant! This is not celebrating the Spring Festival!"
“And it’s still rising!”
…
In the studio, deputy director Jia Jie received the ratings report from his subordinates, and his blood boiled instantly. His whole round face turned purple with excitement. His heartbeat accelerated rapidly and his breathing began to quicken due to excitement.
"Hold on!"
There was a warning in his ears, and Jia Jie turned around and saw Shang Zhi, the director of Jiangnan TV Station, who was already standing by the side with his hands behind his back.
Jia Jie was startled and asked quickly: "When did you come?"
"Before King Lanling came to power."
Shang Zhi looked at Prince Lanling on the stage, with a smile on his face: "Tonight, our Jiangnan TV station is probably going to launch a major satellite in the industry again. The live broadcast was done well."
"Yes, unfortunately, this is the last program."
Jia Jie sighed and said: "If I had known this, why not let Liao Yuan record a few more episodes..."
Shang Zhi shook his head: "No, in the middle and late stages, the ratings of "The Masked Singer" have already dropped."
Not only has it declined, it has almost been cut in half. During the meeting, Jia Jie still clearly remembers Shang Zhi's expression of banging the table and cursing, which was not as calm as he is now.
Jia Jie smiled and said, "Then start the production of the second season immediately?"
"Forget about the second season. Don't consider it in the short term unless you find a player like Lanling King."
Shang Zhi said slowly: "We cannot ruin the reputation of "The King of Masked Singer"."
While the two were talking, their phones vibrated at the same time.
Shang Zhi and Jia Jie looked down at the same time.
I saw the words written on the screen: "(Deputy) Director, after Prince Lanling came to power, the ratings suddenly skyrocketed to 21%!"
Shang Zhi was silent for a moment, then suddenly raised his head and said: "Increase investment! The second season of "The King of Masked Singer" will start preparations early next year!"
