Why is it popular for singers nowadays to release singles instead of releasing entire albums like in the past?
there are many reasons.
But the most important ones are these two.
The cost of producing an album is huge, and the preparation period required is extremely long, and it may not be possible to make a return on the investment and make a profit.
The big-name singers who are successful don't want to be so tired, but the new singers have no money and can't afford it.
Then there is another reason:
In the traffic era, popularity is the most important. Releasing singles can ensure the popularity of a singer's traffic to the greatest extent, and traffic popularity is no different from money in this era.
Therefore, it is quite understandable that fewer and fewer singers are releasing albums, which is in line with the background of the times.
But this does not mean that Lin Qingyuan has to do the same.
His plan is still mainly to produce an album.
If a musician wants to develop better, he cannot just release singles all his life. Albums are a necessity.
After all, streaming media marketing is only important in the beginning. If you don't release an album, it will be difficult to fully convey your music concept, form your own fan group, and stabilize your position in the music world.
Moreover, in Europe and the United States, where the music market is highly developed and the audience's aesthetics are more mature and independent, it is not as easy as in China where fans can be fooled into making money.
For example, singers signed by big companies in Europe and the United States have the company's promotional resources and can directly sign for radio stations, streaming media marketing, various TV, podcast promotions, etc., so they still focus on releasing albums and using singles, as is the tradition.
The song serves as the prelude to the album.
Lin Qingyuan also planned to take this path.
Although he can only be regarded as a newcomer in the music scene now, he has sufficient resources and financial resources to support him in doing this. Time is the most precious thing to him.
So we must make it a hit next year!
And the album became his only choice.
Lin Qingyuan spent one night listening to all the song demos Yan Jun sent from North America.
Sure enough, you get what you pay for.
The overall quality is very good.
And even if there are a few songs in it that he really can't find good to listen to, this is the reality...
The aesthetic differences between regions can never be erased, so as long as European and American audiences like it.
Anyway, he didn't intend to make every song the best from the beginning so that audiences around the world can like it.
That's something only the God of Music can do, and he's just an opportunist.
After repeated comparisons, Lin Qingyuan temporarily selected eleven songs from this first batch of demos as candidates for his first album.
1.Blinding Lights(The Weeknd)
2.Die For You(The Weeknd)
3.Growing Pains(Nathan Trent)
4.That\u0027s Hilarious(Charlie Puth)
5.Save Your Tears(The Weeknd)
6.Sunroof(Nicky Youre)
7.Here\u0027s Your Perfect(Jamie M)
8.Be Somebody(Thousand...)
9.Sick Of You(Mason Murphy)
10.As It Was(Harry Styles)
11.West Coast(OneRepublic)
(Actually, the demo does not have a song title, but for the convenience of reading, the name is temporarily given.)
Logically speaking, these eleven songs can actually be released into an album, but Lin Qingyuan obviously wants more.
He plans to skip the newbie stage of accumulating fame and directly produce a large album covering sixteen songs.
In this way, you only need to add a few more singles to start a two-hour regular concert.
Holding concerts and world tours can further enhance his global popularity and influence.
Therefore, the song selection process is far from over, and more high-quality new singles need to be added in the future.
Of course, maybe after this album is released, some listeners will think that the styles of these singles are inconsistent.
emm..This is not a problem at all.
Having a unified style and relying on albums to convey one's musical ideas was the way to go twenty years ago.
To put it bluntly, the current album is just a collection of more than a dozen singles.
There are no longer as many rules as before.
As for profit?
Even though I released an album, I didn’t break it down and release singles to make money.
But for Lin Qingyuan, money is something external to the body, and only by seizing time can he create more value.
Instead of making quick money, it's better to become a god.
There are many ways to make money after establishing your godhead.
You should think more about everything and take a longer view.
...
Time has entered the last month of 2021.
Even if Lin Qingyuan stays on the set and is serious about filming, he still has to take on tasks from the team.
It was said that at the Thai fan meeting held half a month later, a fan who had liked Lin Qingyuan since 2018 wrote a Thai song and wanted to sing on the same stage with him.
Lin Qingyuan read the lyrics and had a general understanding of the pronunciation of Thai. He felt that since his talent for language was so good, he might try to learn it, so... the new task came out.
To put it bluntly, he brought it upon himself.
But what can be done?
The concubines are so supportive and fond of him, so it would be a bit unjustifiable to reject even this request.
besides...
"The Wind Rises in Luoyang", the transformational work of Dangai Ka, which has been highly anticipated by countless fans, has finally made its premiere.
It's a pity that this drama, starring Huang Xuan, Wang Yibo and Song Qian, with huge investment costs and a luxurious cast, did not achieve the effect that Qi Guo wanted.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The Douban score is 7.0, which looks pretty good.
But with the influx of a large number of passerby viewers without fans, the rating quickly dropped to 6.5.
As we all know, a costume drama with a score of 6 on Douban is equal to a modern drama with a score of 5 on Douban, so there is no need to say much about the reputation and quality of this drama, everyone knows it.
Fans can enjoy watching it, but serious viewers who really want to find a good drama should not join in the fun.
However, just because people who follow dramas don’t watch it doesn’t mean that those bloggers who specialize in making complaints about domestic entertainment and movies don’t watch it either.
Just kidding, this is great material delivered to your door.
How could they let it go so easily?
Unless the showrunners paid him privately, they wouldn't be able to watch this popularity drain away.
[Pioneering blind acting skills.]
[After reading other people’s science on Weibo, he was filming variety shows and other activities for 60 days less than other serious male and female protagonists, and then his fans are still tearing up the male and female protagonists for extra scenes... This operation is simply amazing!]
[I looked at the faces of those nymphomaniacs and thought they were so handsome, but when the camera turned to the front, my eyes instantly received an irreversible blow of 10,000 points...]
[Domestic dramas have been very fond of this kind of supporting performance in recent years. The music is lit in slow motion and everyone exclaims, and the emotions are aroused to the extreme. As soon as the camera turns, it is exaggerated in the front, but embarrassing in the back, and he himself does not look good.
Yeah, to highlight it again is simply to praise it.】
[I really wanted to die laughing! I just watched Lin Qingyuan’s Xu Fengnian Reuters on Douyin. I was so stunned that I was speechless. But when I turned around, I immediately saw Wang’s big face... I was also shocked
Attacking to the point of being speechless, is this the strength of Brother Jue? It’s so terrifying...]
[Brother Jue Jue has changed his name. He is now called Brother Burst. Every day he bursts out one way or another. It feels like his acting skills explode seven or eight times in every episode.]
[He is too stupid and dumb. I don’t know if the character is just a stupid person. I only know that he looks ugly, with a big and fat nose, and swollen cheeks. Lan Wangji, Xie Yun, and Baili Hongyi are the same.
It’s uglier than the other one, so I suggest you don’t pick up the costumes here.]
The complaints from netizens are more violent than the last.
The little motorcycle is probably very angry right now.
But what can be done?
The play was performed by their brother himself.
So they had no choice but to find other ways and take some weird ways to whiten Wang Yibo's performance.
[It is recommended that Heizi watch twenty episodes before commenting, otherwise it will be really ridiculous. Wang Yibo's Baili Hongyi's Heart of Wood and Stone is cold and unreasonable. Because he is unrestrained, he reviews various delicacies and gives "fair"
The businessman was regarded as a treasure, so he naturally didn't feel good about being forced into marriage. The only trouble in his life at that time was that he needed to marry a woman he didn't love, so he resisted, refused, and kept a straight face!]
I don’t care whether such a weird whitewashing angle is effective or not. Anyway, it’s true that most netizens were amused. I really have to lament that the fans are so talented that it’s amazing to be able to make up so many things!
The process of waiting for a show is always boring and boring.
So after Lin Qingyuan read netizens' critical comments about Brother Neck on Weibo, he turned to Instagram to see what his foreign friends were posting.
TaylorSwift: [Stop talking, stop talking! But I still have to say, I am 32 years old! My friend Alana is also 30 years old. Don’t worry, we have done nucleic acid tests for everyone! Thank you for your birthday wishes,
Love you~]
Seeing this ins post just a few minutes ago, Lin Qingyuan realized that today is December 13th.
And it was just past 12 noon, which meant that the time in the United States was also on the 13th.
Taylor's birthday is today.
It had been almost three months since the two of them last met, and they didn't usually chat much on Instagram, so Lin Qingyuan almost forgot about it.
Fortunately, it's not too late to react now.
Otherwise, this valuable network may be slowly disconnected as time goes by.
Lin:【Happy birthday blonde girl!】
Tay: [Wow Lin! It feels like it’s been a long time since I heard from you. Thank you for your birthday wishes. How have you been in China recently? How is everything? 】
Lin: [Not bad, but I think there is one thing I should tell you, that is, I am already preparing for my first English album, and I will come to the United States in January next year to officially start all preparations. 】
Tay: [Really? Amazing! This news is unbelievable! Well, I have to admit that I can’t wait to see you in New York or LA... and your first English album! Then
What I also want you to know is, Lin, if you need help with anything, I'm always here.】
Lin:【Taylor, you are really nice.】
Tay: [You are right! But I don’t treat everyone like this, because Lin you are different from most people in this world. Just like the song I wrote to you, your indifference
Your temperament makes me love and hate you at the same time. You are so noble and moving. I can’t say anything about your impeccable face!】
Lin:【Okay...Thank you for your compliment...】
Lin Qingyuan, who was in front of the mobile phone screen, fell into an awkward silence after seeing this message.
It seems that these ladies drank a lot tonight...
Anyway, he felt that Taylor, who was having a 32nd birthday party with friends in New York, might have been completely drunk.
Otherwise, if it is so straightforward, explicit and disgusting, not everyone can say it without changing a face, even the beautiful lady who has always been extremely open about emotions and sexuality.
But calm down and think about it carefully...
In fact, that's it, just the normal level.
After being in this circle for so many years, what kind of disgusting words and disgusting scenes have he never seen?
There were even a few young actresses who got his WeChat account from nowhere and sent him photos of roasted chicken in cool clothes, hoping to invite him out to play script-killing!
Of course, there was no way he could reply to them.
After all, although he is not so dedicated and even a little sentimental, he still knows very well which women cannot be touched and which women will be in trouble if he touches them.
...
December 17th.
Lin Qingyuan finally ended the 28-day "hard life of the crew" by asking for leave from the director to go out.
However, 28 days of seclusion and filming can be considered as hard training...
It's also quite ironic.
But this is the current situation in the entertainment industry.
After entering the era of wildly growing traffic, the total domestic entertainment economy has expanded rapidly, so much so that money can be picked up everywhere in the entire entertainment industry, and everyone is making quick money.
This is the general trend of the times, and it cannot be easily changed and reversed by just one or two people.
First is the shooting of Lancôme's New Year's advertisement.
In addition to him, this year's spokespersons include Lily Collins from the UK and Zhou Qiuyu from China.
The shooting process went very smoothly and was completed in one afternoon. However, the shooting time and location were separate. Only during the final editing of the film, technical means were used to allow the three spokespersons to be in the same frame.
"The nomination list for the Golden Deer Award at this year's Changchun Film Festival is out. Boss, you have three films shortlisted."
On the way to the dining place, the assistant woke up Lin Qingyuan who was staring at the night view outside the window.
"Hmm? Which three?"
""Changjin Lake", "Hua Guo Doctor" and "Send You a Little Red Flower"." The assistant replied.
"Didn't you get nominated for the leading actor?" Lin Qingyuan doesn't know much about the Changchun Film Festival and the Golden Deer Awards, although the Golden Deer Awards seem to be quite valuable in the mainland film industry.
Let me briefly talk about the value of the Chinese Film Awards.
First of all, Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Huabiao is undoubtedly the most valuable first grade. Although the three of them have more or less problems, they are already the taller ones among the short ones.
Secondly, the Golden Goblet Award at the Magic City International Film Festival, the Golden Deer Award at the Changchun Film Festival, the Temple of Heaven Award at the Beijing International Film Festival and the second category of the Directors Guild Annual Award.
As for the third tier, they are mainly local awards, such as the Hong Kong International Film Festival, Macau International Film Festival, and Beijing University Student Film Festival. The Golden Lotus Best Actor that Lin Qingyuan won in Macau two years ago is also among them.
Like that Huading...
The Pure Pheasant Award is a no-brainer, but some traffickers rush to receive the award just to win a few awards to facilitate team marketing and fool fans.
It's not embarrassing either...
"The nomination list of the Golden Deer Awards will only announce the shortlisted films, and will not announce the nominations for the actor awards. However, there will still be actors and actresses in the final awards."
"So how is the competition intensity this year?"
Lin Qingyuan must be lying when he says he doesn't want to win the award. After all, no matter how famous the Golden Deer Award is, it is still one of the top five important film awards in China.
For him, a stamp collector, nothing is more satisfying than collecting trophies one after another.
"It should be no different from the Golden Rooster. Although there is an extra Changjin Lake, it should not affect the final result." The assistant paused for a moment and curled his lips before continuing: "Because of "The Island Keeper"
The male protagonist Liu Ye happens to be from Changchun, so..."
"ok, I get it..."
Lin Qingyuan sighed helplessly. Sure enough, he shouldn't have any expectations for these local awards.
Of course, he also knew that if he really put himself on the same level as those veteran movie stars and competed in real acting, he would have almost no chance of winning.
Just like basketball fans say that James has no real ring.
Fans in the rice circle also said that Lin Huang does not have a real golden chicken.
The gold content of his two best actors is really limited.
Because the situation last year was actually very special.
Affected by loyalty, the entire film industry has come to a standstill. At this time, someone needs to step forward to save the market.
And Lin Qingyuan was the one who was pushed out.
To put it simply, it is to create a god.
If leading artists can serve as role models and publicity, it will have a positive impact on the entire industry.
There are many candidates for the new generation, but Lin Qingyuan is undoubtedly the one who has the least reason to lose.
So what happened next...
In September, hundreds of flowers were crowned emperor, in November, golden rooster was crowned emperor, and on New Year's Day, the little red flower single-handedly carried a box office of 2.5 billion, single-handedly raising the public's enthusiasm for watching movies.
Last year, Lin Qingyuan was in the limelight.
But when everything returns to its original state and he is no longer needed at the front, everyone has to rely on their own abilities.
