Since the new era, China's music culture has developed vigorously, which has benefited from the country's comprehensive and rapid development and economic prosperity.
However, among the many competing styles of music, rock music, as a rebellious and metallic music in the industrial era, has always been in a relatively embarrassing niche circle in China's cultural ecology.
Even after decades of hard work and development, there are still only a few rock bands and figures that can be recognized by people in the industry. There are even fewer people who are still active in the music industry. The only ones who can carry the chess are the kings of rock and roll.
Zhang Hai.
In fact, there have been many various bands on the stage in recent years, but rock music has never made more noise. It has been in a downturn since the late 1990s. Until last year, Clover tried to release a new rock song "Super Star".
The nationwide fire has also caused a lot of turmoil in the rock world, but this new type of rock is not suitable for everyone. Rockers in the past are still stuck in the vicious circle of decadence, loneliness, and moaning without illness, and it is difficult to extricate themselves.
Among them, Zhang Hai also falls into this category.
The "Golden Music Chart" broadcast on Beijing Radio tonight does not have a large audience base. The new generation of self-media and multimedia are developing in full swing, and the audience of radio broadcasts is also decreasing. However, farmers in remote areas still like it very much.
How to obtain information.
Although the population in rural areas is shrinking, leaving many places very empty, the loudspeakers in many villages are turned on on time every day, filling this emptiness to a certain extent.
And these people listening to the radio every day has become a habit that is difficult to change.
Secondly, there are children. After all, surfing the Internet, playing with mobile phones, and watching TV are restricted by parents and schools. Therefore, many schools have campus radio stations.
Thirdly, it is the people who own cars.
Many driver friends are also loyal listeners of the radio.
It is normal for these people to sit in the car and listen to music and news, especially traffic and art broadcasts.
Because of radio broadcasts, many drivers no longer feel lonely while driving, and they can also get highly targeted and practical information.
To put it simply, although radio broadcasting is declining day by day, its listeners are still a very large group.
Therefore, even though the Internet is now developed and everyone has a mobile phone, the form of radio broadcasting still remains for a long time.
According to statistics, the per capita revenue generation rate of many radio stations is much higher than the per capita revenue generation rate of local wireless TV, cable TV, newspapers and movie screenings.
Broadcasting may be the last traditional media to decline. In the process of decline, it is also very possible to turn decline into prosperity.
For example, the driver Li Fei is listening to "Golden Music Chart" at this moment.
Especially after learning that Wu Sheng was about to switch jobs to Hansen Studio, he became extremely concerned about the dynamics of Hansen Studio.
When he heard that Hansen Studio's singer Zhang Hai would be on the "Golden Music Chart", Li Fei paid unusual attention to today's radio program.
Especially since this is the first new work Zhang Hai has released since changing jobs, it is even more meaningful to many people, including Li Fei.
At this time, he smiled at Wu Sheng in the back seat and said: "A Sheng, this Zhang Hai has been very famous more than ten years ago. His persistence in rock music is obvious to many seniors. This is a good thing, but he will lose because of
Too rigid, always studying rock and roll, unwilling to develop in many aspects, rock has declined so much, what's the point of persisting..."
"If I sign with Han Sen this time, if I continue to hit the wall and don't look back, and continue to play rock and roll, there is a high probability that I will end up on the street..."
In the carriage, Wu Sheng was also waiting attentively for the release of Zhang Hai's new work, but he was waiting for the release of new songs on the Hanhai Music platform on his mobile phone. After all, Zhang Hai was the first singer to jump to Hansen Studio, and his development
Coming to the capital has extraordinary significance for many people.
At this time, when he heard the radio broadcast of Zhang Hai's "Golden Music Chart" and the driver Li Fei's words, he smiled and said: "Many people in the circle are paying attention to Zhang Hai. No matter what he sings, everything will come to an end tonight."
, if he can fly into the sky, Hansen Studio will no longer be short of good singers in the future."
"What if it doesn't soar into the sky?"
"For Han Sen, it may not have much or even a big impact, but for Zhang Hai, it is like falling into hell. Even Han Sen can't save him, and his commercial value will be infinitely reduced.
Low."
Hearing these words, Li Fei smacked his lips. In this entertainment industry, one general can accomplish thousands of things.
At this moment, eight o'clock in the evening arrived.
When the "Golden Music Chart" began to promote "Fly Higher", all major music platforms across the country also launched Zhang Hai's new single "Fly Higher".
This is the title track of his mini-album "Fly Higher". These four words clearly indicate Zhang Hai's expectations for this album.
At this moment, when the charming saxophone sound at the beginning of "Fly Higher" came from the radio, Wu Sheng's spirit was concentrated to the extreme.
"Life is like a big river
Sometimes peaceful, sometimes crazy
Reality is like a shackles
Tie me up and I can’t break free..."
Zhang Hai's iconic voice has not changed at all, it is exactly the same as Wu Sheng's impression, but he always feels that something is different, the emotion? The expression of the lyrics? Or the sudden and sexy change?
Slightly hoarse voice.
In short, as soon as Zhang Hai opened his mouth, Wu Sheng was instantly attracted.
In addition to the singing, it is also the lyrics performed by the singing.
If Zhang Hai was asked to write the lyrics and the words "darkness", "decadent" and "sad" culture were not written at the beginning, it would not be called Zhang Hai.
But now, the words "life", "river", "reality" and "shackles" are mentioned as soon as he opens his mouth, instantly making people feel like a philosopher.
"These four sentences are unremarkable." Li Fei commented with his little knowledge of music theory.
Wu Sheng glanced at him and said nothing.
Because this is a song written by Han Sen, he knows Han Sen and knows that many of Han Sen's works are first suppressed and then expanded. The calmer the song is in the early stage, the more violent and shocking the later explosion will be.
as expected.
After a moment of silence.
There was a crazy bass sound in the accompaniment, like spring thunder exploding, which made Wu Sheng look strange.
"This mysterious life is as sharp as a knife
Seriously hurt me again and again
I know the kind of happiness I want
Just in that higher sky——"
Wu Sheng felt waves of tingling in his heart, and felt that this mature singing voice seemed to be taking him into the wilderness of a material frame, with the eagle soaring in the sky above his head, making the desire in his heart continue to grow wildly.
This mysterious life is as sharp as a knife, seriously injuring me time and time again...
Such powerful lyrics...
Li Fei, on the other hand, seemed to be shocked. He shut his mouth tightly when he was about to speak. He felt that a string in his heart was being shaken and reverberating continuously.
Both of them looked like they were listening carefully.
The next moment, when the expected climax came, both of them had shocked looks on their faces.
"I want to fly higher
Fly higher
Dancing like the wind
Break free from the embrace——"
…
At the same time, there are many people who are paying attention to the listing of "Fly Higher", such as Peng Haofeng, general manager of NIO Entertainment, and its singer Feng Shaolun.
Today is also the release day of Feng Shaolun's new song "Watch the Sea with You", which was released at the same time as Zhang Hai's "Fly Higher".
But Feng Shaolun didn't have much hope for this collision PK.
Only people who have been in contact with Han Sen know how terrifying Han Sen's talent is. Feng Shaolun has collaborated and partnered with Han Sen many times in the program "Adventure King". When he learned about Zhang Hai's new song "Feidede"
When "Higher" was created by Han Sen, Feng Shaolun no longer had the idea of a showdown.
But General Manager Peng Haofeng was unwilling to give in.
It's clear that Zhang Hai's popularity has reached the lowest point in his career. Even Peng Haofeng can't save the singer. If he goes to Han Sen, he can take off immediately?
Although he was full of disbelief, he felt uneasy when he thought about Han Sen's terrifying talent and ability.
Because as expected, in the next period of time, if Zhang Hai's works become popular, then Peng Haofeng's face will be so painful as Zhang Hai becomes popular.
This is a slap in the face, a slap in the face of Peng Haofeng.
There was no development at all in NIO Entertainment, and a bright light suddenly emerged as soon as he changed jobs, and his popularity increased step by step. This was definitely the most uncomfortable thing for the original company, NIO Entertainment.
According to the practice of big companies, destroying what you can't get is a common tactic, but Zhang Hai is no ordinary person. He is also a figure who has dominated the music scene in the past twenty years. When rock music was popular in the early days, it was Zhang Hai who shouldered the responsibility of rock music alone.
flag.
Nowadays, rock music is in decline. Although Zhang Hai's popularity has dropped sharply, no one dares to ignore Zhang Hai's status and seniority.
Therefore, Peng Haofeng does not dare to use means and tricks easily, nor can he rely on the company's resources and connections to suppress this senior, otherwise the backlash from netizens will teach NIO Entertainment how to behave.
That's why Zhang Hai was able to switch jobs to Hansen Studio without any incident and without any punishment.
If it had been anyone else, he would have shed his skin even if he died.
Of course, this is also because Hansen Studio itself is not easy to mess with.
Didn’t you see that Yuanzheng Media’s He Baozhen put her tail between her legs when faced with Han Sen’s “bullying”?
The same is true for Peng Haofeng. He is very afraid of Han Sen. In addition, he also wants to make friends with this great master.
A few songs slipped out of the master's fingers, which is enough for Weilai Entertainment to create one or two first-line singers.
Who can withstand this?
Who doesn’t want to hug someone’s thighs?
Peng Haofeng even felt that once he had the idea of "taking action" with Zhang Hai, the other four so-called TOP-level entertainment giants would join forces to help Han Sen beat him.
This is not an illusion, but an intuition.
Therefore, no matter how popular Zhang Hai's new song is tonight and no matter how good the data is, he can't take any action, especially when he sees that Feng Shaolun himself can't muster the slightest fighting spirit, he doesn't even want to take any action.
After listening to the song "Fly Higher", Peng Haofeng was silent for a while, then called his assistant directly and announced that some charting resources would be cancelled, so that they could be used next time.
"Why was it cancelled?" Now it was Feng Shaolun's turn to be a little confused. Although he admitted that "Fly Higher" was a very good rock song, it didn't seem to be as amazing as he imagined.
From his personal professional perspective, this song "Fly Higher" can be said to be quite simple.
The greatest advantage is sincerity.
Secondly, judging from the entire song, the music melody is smooth, the tonality is clear, and the rhythm is gentle. The song will also change with the spread of the lyrics, and the accumulation and release appear natural, sometimes singing in a low voice, and sometimes spreading its wings.
dramatic changes.
But these are all essential characteristics of a good song. They may be worth mentioning on their own, but if you put them among Han Sen's many classic songs, they will be instantly forgotten by everyone.
Peng Haofeng said bluntly: "You can't beat this song. There is no chance of winning. Instead of making a big fanfare and provoking confrontation between fans, it's better to just let it go, so as not to stain your future career."
Feng Shaolun was stunned: "It's not that exaggerated, is it? The song is good, but it's not legendary."
Peng Haofeng frowned, looked at him, and said thoughtfully: "In this song, the melody comes second, and the key is the lyrics."
"The lyrics of this song are completely different from Zhang Hai's previous works. It is no longer decadent. When a rock veteran is no longer decadent, the power he unleashes will be very terrifying. Before this, I didn't know
Zhang Hai would make such a big change. A long time ago, I didn't persuade him to change his style of music, but Zhang Hai always insisted on his own opinions and stayed stuck in his ways. But now, Han Sen asked him to change. This is very important, regardless of this song.
Regardless of the quality of his music, it can make Zhang Hai change his music style. There is no doubt about the importance of Han Sen to Zhang Hai."
"Zhang Hai can become the King of Rock and Roll, not because of his fame, but because he has real ability. It's just that his style cannot keep up with the times. As long as he is willing to change his style, no matter what style he is, he can do it in terms of his singing skills.
Easy to control.”
"The style of the song "Fly Higher" itself has the rhythm of flying, and the lyrics are so inspiring. It no longer has the difficulty and weirdness of niche art in my impression, and the chorus part is even more soaring.
, with clear memory points and a foundation of fire, expresses optimism and courage for life, speaks directly from the heart, and at the same time has an idealistic humanistic sentiment."
"This is very in line with the subjective attitudes of young people today and will definitely attract their attention and love."
"The most important thing is that Zhang Hai has an admirable poetic temperament in this song, which has never appeared in his previous works."
"This doesn't look like Zhang Hai, but it must be Zhang Hai."
"I conclude that Zhang Hai is going to become famous."
Feng Shaolun was stunned for a moment after hearing Peng Haofeng's passionate comments. Only then did he realize that this general manager also had the potential to be a music critic.
In fact, Peng Haofeng himself has been immersed in the entertainment industry for many years and has brought out many first- and second-tier singers of all kinds. He has the ability to evaluate singers and works accurately, as well as accurate predictions and foresight about the market.
Therefore, when he heard "Fly Higher", the magical chorus impressed him deeply, and also made him conclude that Zhang Hai was going to become famous. The niche rock music that had once declined might become popular after today.
Zhang Hai single-handedly led him to the mainstream public.
