A few days pass by in a blink of an eye, August ends and September officially begins.
Song Yu originally thought that after having a girlfriend, he could play some new tricks, but Zhao Yan was a career-oriented woman who did not want soft food, but hard work.
During the Star Dream era, they participated in many variety shows and were busy singing and appearing on various shows every day.
To be honest, with the current reputation of "Persian Cat", there is no need to do this at all.
But Zhao Yan and others had just debuted, and their results were so good. They were so excited that they couldn't sleep, so they simply went on variety shows to make money.
Ordinary idols often pay their own money to perform on variety shows and sing.
It's just that Star Dream Era has been too popular recently, so many TV stations have actively invited them.
The happiest person is naturally Xingdong Entertainment.
Another profitable combination appeared under my hands.
In addition, they have ushered in a new wave of recruitment.
"Persian Cat" proves that Song Yu's songwriting really has no restrictions.
In other words, he can write songs for anyone.
Many frustrated singers or singers whose contracts have expired have contacted Xingdong Entertainment.
Of course not only singers, but also songwriters.
Already successful songwriters and composers, most of all, they lamented the emergence of another genius in Song Yu.
But what about those that haven’t yet succeeded?
They think Song Yu is simply their idol.
I can write any kind of song, and any song can be popular.
He is now the music director of Xingdong Entertainment. If they hang out under him, not to mention learning everything, but even a tenth of it, it will be enough for them to benefit a lot.
This also resulted in the number of resumes Song Yu received recently exceeding five hundred.
Ridiculous and reasonable.
After all, there are really many people working in the music industry.
Even though there were so many things, he couldn't handle it, so he finally decided to delegate power.
A company, especially a large company, has hundreds of artists.
Star Entertainment will eventually do the same.
Song Yu was too busy, and he couldn't even write songs.
His current idea is that the company recruits people and he selects a few singers to write songs.
Other singers may be envious, but most of them are waiting with hope.
As long as they are in Xingdong Entertainment, one day it will be their turn to sing new songs.
Besides, as the composition department grows, there will be many good songs, so Song Yu won’t be singled out for the trouble.
After this round of recruitment, Xingdong Entertainment is not only a top-notch entertainment company, it is at least a medium-sized entertainment company with great development potential.
September 1st.
Song Yu's physical album is on sale.
It only took five days to sell two million copies, which shocked the music world.
To be able to have such sales in this era shows that Song Yu already has a king-level reputation and treatment.
Affected by this, three songs, "Nocturne", "East Wind Breaks" and "Fairy Tale", actually returned to the top ten. Although they did not enter the top five and did not stay for two hours, they were still scary.
Two million is the highest physical album sales in the past five years.
And further back, there is an even more outrageous nine million, which is still the record holder to this day.
The singer who created this record is called Zhou Ting.
And he can write songs and compose music.
In Song Yu's view, Zhou Ting is undoubtedly the lucky son of this world, and his achievements as a singer are astonishingly high.
He is recognized as the king of pop music in Daxia.
He debuted at the end of the physical album era, and his second album sold nine million, raising the record by four million.
Then digital albums replaced physical albums, but he remained unaffected.
The third digital album sold 100 million copies.
He was the first singer to do it.
At this time, singers in the industry realized the potential of the Internet for the first time. Subsequently, sales increased steadily and entered a new era.
By the fifth album, five years ago, it had sold an exaggerated record of 200 million.
After that, Zhou Ting never released a song again and fell into the state of infinite ace pigeon.
Song Yu had heard his songs.
There are two or three pieces that are no worse than "Nocturne".
This is also normal.
If you don't have top-notch strength, how can you achieve this kind of achievement?
To be honest, Song Yu was quite excited when he found out about Zhou Ting.
The only person in this world who can defeat him is probably the cheater himself.
He now particularly hopes that Zhou Ting can release a new album to try the pinnacle of his previous life.
If he were defeated, Song Yu wouldn't even get a Golden Voice Award or a Rose Award, but he would still be the King of Heaven.
There is one more thing this week.
"The King of Masked Singer" Issue 8.
Bai Xiang participated under the code name Bai Jingjing.
The name Song Yu wanted to name.
Although he didn't sing any new songs, he still won the weekly championship and advanced to the semi-finals.
The end of the eighth period also means that Song Yu has to prepare a new song.
"Teacher Song, I haven't seen you for a long time. I miss you so much."
Duan Yue reappeared in front of Song Yu with a smile on his face.
Today is different from the past.
I haven't seen him for a month, but Song Yu's status is slowly rising.
With the endorsement of the Literary and Art Association, anyone who is well-informed can guess that he may join the Literary and Art Association and become an honorary member.
Speaking of members, the literary and art association is roughly divided into five levels.
The first level, which is also the lowest level, is the honorary member, which is just a name, with no real power.
Although it is the lowest, it should not be underestimated.
Most of the people who have made it this far are first-class musicians, such as Yu Wenxian, Bai Xiang, Wang Zhi and others.
The second level higher is formal membership, which means becoming a full member of the literary association.
Most of these people have contributed to the development of entertainment, such as old artists, various instrumentalists, etc.
The next three levels are more special and belong to the official positions of the literary and art association, such as Sun Su and others.
If you want to join, you need to go through a very troublesome process. Generally speaking, those who are relatively new to it will not apply.
At most, just be a formal member.
Why is Song Yu speculated to be an honorary member instead of an official member?
The reason is that he is too young.
In the entertainment industry, qualifications and capital are undoubtedly the thickest barriers.
If you want to break through, you must have tremendous talent.
But Song Yu still didn't show enough.
If they knew that he was favored by Yan Shao, that would be another matter.
"Director Duan, I'm glad to see you again."
Song Yu shook hands with him and said hello to screenwriter Gu Sheng, photographer Zhang Juan and others.
As his fan, Zhang Juan's face turned red with excitement.
After exchanging pleasantries, let’s get down to business.
"Teacher Song, now let me talk about the rules and themes of the semi-finals and finals."
Duan Yue said.
The reason why the finals are revealed in advance is naturally to allow the singers to have more time to prepare and present the best results.
Liao Jian has very high expectations for the finals and hopes to break a new record.
"In the semi-finals, the competition system has changed. In order to make it more exciting, the program team adopted a melee to determine the four singers who will advance to the finals."
Song Yu secretly thought, wouldn't this thing become a masked version of "I Am a Singer"?
But he didn't say anything. The change was indeed more interesting than before, and the pressure on the singer also increased.
After all, you don't have to defeat one person this time, but four people.
In the past, two-on-one duels could still rely on luck. If you were lucky enough to encounter a weak one, you would be promoted. Now it depends purely on strength.
"The finals format is divided into two rounds. In the first round, two groups are drawn and compete against each other. In the second round, the remaining two people compete for the championship."

The finals returned to a two-two matchup.
First, after entering the finals, everyone is very strong and there is no such thing as luck.
The second reason is the simplest reason, to increase the duration and ratings.
After Duan Yue finished talking about the competition system, he started talking about the theme.
"The theme of the semi-finals is ancient or Chinese style songs, and high notes cannot be used. There is no theme for the finals, so you can express yourself freely."
Song Yu thought for a moment.
The emergence of Gufeng is not unexpected.
In this world, there is a huge market for ancient styles.
In addition, Chinese style is also normal, after all, the two come from the same origin.
But Song Yu guessed that Liao Jian had another idea.
Let him, the founder, do something to increase his ratings.
There are no restrictions at all in the finals.
This is simply a clear statement from Liao Jian.
In the previous life, "I Am a Singer" was jokingly called "I am a Soprano" by many people.
The reason is simple.
Among all singing techniques, high notes are the easiest to be heard by ordinary audiences.
If you can sing, I think you are pretty good.
As for other songs, no matter how many techniques you use, it’s no use if everyone can’t hear them.
Unless you have extremely strong emotional expression.
But high notes are obviously easier.
Liao Jian mentioned not to use high notes in the previous few times, but now, you can use it in the finals.
In other words, he wants ratings, word-of-mouth, etc. He can take a break.
If you hit a high pitch, everyone likes it, so the ratings are naturally not bad.
Naturally, Song Yu wouldn't say anything, as this was exactly what he wanted.
The most powerful part of the song he prepared was its high note.
"Okay, I understand, let's go to the recording studio."
As Song Yu walked, he thought about which song Hua Xia Feng would choose.
And the quality can't be too low, after all, if you lose, you'll be in trouble.
But he couldn't bear to sing "Blue and White Porcelain". It was best to put this song on the album.
Since you don’t want to hire Jay Chou, then find someone else.
Xu Song.
His few Chinese-style songs are also excellent enough.
Song Yu planned to use "Thousand Baidu", a song that was selected into university textbooks.
The music may not be top-notch, but the lyrics are really good.
When he arrived at the recording studio, Song Yu put on his loose clothes and monkey mask for the first time in a long time.
"Teacher Sun Wukong, do you still write lyrics first as before?"
Duan Yue changed his title and looked at Song Yu expectantly.
"certainly."
Naturally, Song Yu still maintained his own personality.
Screenwriter Gu Sheng very consciously sent pen and paper.
Some singers like to use the keyboard to write lyrics, but Song Yu likes to use pen and paper, which reminds him of the lyric books he copied when he was studying.
Full of memories.
Moreover, he copied this song "Thousand Baidu" into his notebook.
"Without the outdoor store, there are no fireworks, so how can the guests sleep?"
When the cold comes, who can add two pieces to my sleeves?
It snowed in the third and fourth watch, and the wind continued to blow all night long.
It's just pitiful that the skinny horse didn't get a good rest."
The first lyrics are shown on the camera.
Duan Yue was shocked.
There is something about this word.
It gave him a feeling of poetry.
Although it is far inferior to ancient classic poetry, when used as modern lyrics, it appears graceful and has a rather ancient charm.
"He is indeed the founder of Chinese style." Duan Yue sighed in his heart.
The lyrics continue, and the quality of the rest does not diminish.
And it is not just a pile of words, it has a sense of hierarchy and pictures.
"I've searched for you thousands of times, from sunrise to dusk. I've been ups and downs in the rivers and lakes. I've searched for you thousands of times, but you've never been there. In the dimly lit place..." This chapter has been completed!
