It was almost eleven o'clock when we left the studio.
By the time Guo Xiaoxue and I returned to the parking lot downstairs of the company, there were only ten minutes left before twelve o'clock!
Wang Hao's progress is a little hurried. He has released at least ten new songs since he started singing, but he has never been so nervous as today.
If it were in the past, he was confident that the new song would definitely achieve the "chart-dominating" achievement.
But tonight is different.
The veteran love song king Zhong Taiji in the music industry, and the queen of translator Qin Fengming will also release new songs at the same time, and they will even be followed by well-known singers Shen Xixi and Wang Tao.
So... can my new song withstand the impact of these four famous singers?
Although he won on the "I am a singer" stage, actually releasing new songs and performing on stage are two different concepts.
What's on the stage is performance and emotional tension, but just like Chung Tae-ki, if a song really wants to become a hit, it really has to pay attention to its connotation.
So, does Fearless have any connotation?
At twelve o'clock, the answer will be revealed on time!
…
When taking the elevator up, Guo Xiaoxue suddenly asked for no reason: "Brother Hao, are you a little nervous?"
Um?
Wang Hao turned around and looked at her doubtfully.
"Can you tell I'm nervous?"
Guo Xiaoxue raised her slender fingers, made a gesture, and said softly: "A little bit."
Wang Hao smiled and didn't say much.
My first album!
Significance!
Nervousness may also be normal.
…
Tonight, the lights of Haohuan Media are brightly lit!
The boss's first album is about to be released, and the people in the publicity and music department are all staying in the company, quietly waiting for the moment when the new songs are released.
When Wang Hao walked into the company, what he saw was a group of people waiting for news.
Zhou Xiaoyu stood in front of the crowd.
She was holding her mobile phone and frowning slightly, as if she was worried about something.
"Brother Hao,"
"Brother Hao is back?"
"Congratulations to Brother Hao for winning first place!"
As soon as everyone saw Wang Hao coming back, they all came together.
They all watched the "I am a Singer" competition tonight, so they naturally learned the final result, and at the same time they also saw Wang Hao's explosive scene!
It starts with a dazzling instrumental solo, and then comes the super burning lyrics!
Singing and boxing at the same time, you can still perform stably!
Let me ask, how many people in the entire music world can do this?
In the final ranking session, Wang Hao even showed his extremely professional creative ability!
B-box, ventriloquism, violin, piano...
The successive performances amazed the audience and dazzled the netizens who were watching the live broadcast!
At the moment when Wang Hao was creating the list, many people had this idea in their minds:
——What else can he not do?
"Are you all here?"
Looking around, Wang Hao saw all the employees of the Music Department and Publicity Department!
Everyone is obviously waiting for the moment the new song is released.
"I'll treat you all to coffee. Tell Guo Xiaoxue what flavor you want to drink and ask her to order it for you."
"Hey! Long live Brother Hao!"
Cheers resounded throughout the company, and a group of men and women immediately gathered around Guo Xiaoxue, grinning evilly and started beating up the rich man.
Wang Hao took the opportunity to walk up to Zhou Xiaoyu, looked at her curiously, and asked: "What happened? Why do I see that your expression is a little depressed?"
"depressed?"
Zhou Xiaoyu subconsciously looked up.
The two looked at each other, their faces slightly red.
The madness last night is still vivid in my mind!
Although both of them knew which incident was caused by alcohol, how could they get drunk with just a few glasses of red wine?
What's more, Wang Hao also has the ability to drink a thousand cups without getting drunk!
"Ahem..."
Zhou Xiaoyu coughed lightly, and while covering up her embarrassment, showed her cell phone to Wang Hao.
The screen interface at this time is on the hot search list on Weibo.
What surprised Wang Hao a little was that at this time, the top three hot searches on Weibo's hot search list were all about the news that Zhong Taiji and Shen Xixi were about to release a new song.
It wasn't until it reached the fourth spot on the hot search list that the news about the completion of the first recording session of I Am a Singer appeared.
Wang Hao’s name appeared in the fifth most searched article!
The first phase of #我是 singer is officially over, the battle in the ring, the newcomer is the king!
Seeing this, Wang Hao couldn't help but be a little surprised, "Huh? How much money will it cost to suppress the popularity of me as a singer?"
A variety show that is watched by 200 million people online at the same time, but it doesn’t even rank first in the trending search?
What kind of international joke are you kidding?
There is no doubt that the popularity of "I am a singer" has obviously been deliberately suppressed!
Zhou Xiaoyu rubbed his eyebrows and guessed: "If my guess is correct, in order to build momentum for Zhong Taiji's new album, the amount of money invested by Light and Shadow Media this time will probably not be less than eight figures!"
Eight digits?
Tens of millions?
Wang Hao raised his eyebrows slightly, feeling a little confused for no reason.
We don’t even know how much revenue the new album will bring, but tens of millions of dollars are spent on just the preliminary promotion. This big company is awesome!
You know, Wang Hao only posted a new Weibo post to promote his new album, and also posted a video on Kuaiyin.
The most I can do is say hello to the other members of the Extreme Brothers and ask them to help forward it.
That's all!
The total consumption before and after is the promised meal money, and nothing else.
Compared to Guangying's overwhelming publicity, he is more like a stingy "beggar."
The publicity and development department of Haohuan Media has made a lot of efforts, but at best they only wrote a few articles and invited a few media outlets to do a small publicity.
Investing in front and back...
It never even exceeded five figures!
"Are you confident?"
Zhou Xiaoyu's voice suddenly came, seeming to be asking or talking to himself.
Obviously, Wang Hao won the first place in I Am a Singer with "Huo Yuanjia", but she still has no confidence.
That is the king and queen of heaven!
Is Wang Hao, a rising star in the music industry, good enough to compete with the huge fan base of the other two?
"It's almost twelve o'clock. I'm quite confident about my new album. Let's use the data to judge the final result."
Wang Hao smiled slightly, his face showing calmness!
The initial nervousness has long been forgotten by him. He is very confident in his songs, and this confidence comes from his strong new appointment as "Dr. Jay"!
Although his opponent is the King of Heaven, the song he sings was also created by the King of Heaven!
Who loses and who wins?
Let’s look at this arena battle!
…
…
In addition to the bright lights of Haohuan Media, a similar situation occurred in another part of Kyoto at this time.
In a conference room of the Music Department of Light and Shadow Media, a group of senior executives gathered here, also waiting for the moment when the new song will be released.
Vice President Zhu Jianchen, Public Relations and Public Relations Manager Fu Yongxin, King Zhong Taiji, Qu Ye Zhou Xianqi...
The scent of tea lingers in the conference room.
Several people were sitting on the sofa, chatting casually while waiting for the new song to be released.
Fu Yongxin's eyes were fixed on the hot search list on Weibo. Seeing the hot spot firmly occupying the top spot, he smiled with satisfaction.
Since Wang Hao dominated the hot search list last month, this is the first time that Light and Shadow has firmly stayed at the top of the hot search list.
Of course, huge financial support is also indispensable during this period.
"Teacher Zhong, netizens have spoken highly of your new song. There are still many people who regret not being able to watch tonight's live broadcast."
"I believe that after the new song is released, your data will definitely be outstanding!"
Fu Yongxin talked eloquently, and his words were full of emotion and admiration.
Zhong Taiji smiled slightly, looked at Zhou Xianqi on the side, and said: "Thanks to Teacher Zhou for helping write the lyrics, otherwise, the success of this song is probably not that high."
He himself is actually better at composing music, and his talent in writing lyrics is not very high.
Therefore, most of the music for his new album was composed by him, and with the help of Zhou Xianqi and other lyricists in the circle, it was finally released.
Zhou Xianqi smiled and said: "Haha, I'm getting old too. I can't write anymore in the past few years. I guess after I finish this album for you, it's time to officially retire."
As soon as these words came out, Zhu Jianchen's brows suddenly raised!
Want to retire?
This is not possible!
If you quit, most of the singers in Guangying will be blinded!
He hurriedly said: "Mr. Zhou, you are in your prime now. If you retire, it will be a huge loss to the entire music world!"
Zhou Xianqi could naturally hear the meaning behind his words.
He smiled softly, did not answer Zhu Jianchen's words, and directly changed the topic.
"I also watched the stage performance just now. Xiao Zhong, your little opponent also has two brushes!"
"really!"
Mentioning Wang Hao, Zhong Taiji's expression became much more serious.
Although he is quite confident in his album, Wang Hao's existence should not be forgotten.
This guy is indeed a formidable enemy!
Chung Tae-ki doesn't know much about composing lyrics, but in the field of composing music, Wang Hao has clearly reached the top of the music industry!
Just like the prelude to "Huo Yuanjia", this is unique in the entire music world!
Such a bold use of multiple instruments for arrangement, and the ability to perfectly integrate it, has clearly opened up a new expansion path in the arrangement world.
Although he doesn't seem to admit it, Zhong Taiji knows that he is weaker than Wang Hao in terms of arrangement.
This can be seen in the subsequent ranking sessions.
A piano, a violin...
This kid is really having fun!
But even so, Chung Tae-ki is still quite confident about his new album.
This confidence comes from his peak performance in the music industry for many years!
At his peak, he won all the awards in the music industry. In that year, he was really hard-pressed to win awards!
And now, he and Zhou Xianqi are collaborating again.
The two kings go to war!
Will be invincible in the world!
What kind of new star in the music industry? Just a breeze blowing by, there is no pressure at all.
…
In the blink of an eye, the lottery draw time has arrived.
When the hands reached twelve o'clock, the staff at Cool Music's backstage immediately clicked and uploaded the new songs to be released on Monday.
"Ding……"
In less than a second, with the prompt sound coming from the computer, the song was officially uploaded successfully.
As for what kind of ranking melee will follow, it has nothing to do with him!
The homepage recommendations for the week will be officially determined in the early morning of the next day. Which song has the best sales and the highest popularity within 24 hours, then which song will be on the recommendation list.
That night, countless people waited until the early hours of the morning just to witness the release of the new album.
When the playlist was refreshed, the navy that had already been prepared rushed out and at the same time searched for Chung Tae-ki's new album - "Memories"!
"Recalling the past? Or recalling the peak of the past?"
After opening the album, a group of sailors looked down and quickly saw the title of the song.
"Love You Without Regret"
"This is the song!"
As the leader of the navy team, Lu Wen instantly judged that this was exactly his mission goal tonight.
After performing "three consecutive waves" very skillfully, he turned on Chung Tae-ki's new song "Love You Without Regrets" and listened quietly.
As a well-known figure among the social media in the music industry, Lu Wen is not only the leader of the social media, he is also a professional music critic.
In terms of professionalism, the gap between him and Mu Zhi can be said to be thousands of miles away.
However, in terms of "listening", he is much more professional than ordinary music critics.
Lu Wen once created such a myth among the navy!
Every time a new song passes through his ears, he can tell whether it will eventually become a hit.
That was also a normal Monday for ordinary people.
On the Kule app, more than 20 singers have released new songs together, including kings and queens, first-line singers, and unknown new singers.
After the new song was released, Lu Wen called on his navy team to promote it to his employer as usual, and then started bragging with his team members.
"Believe it or not, I only need to listen to all these songs once, and I can roughly judge whether they will be popular!"
When Lu Wen sent out such a text, other members of the navy team immediately became happy.
Once you listen to it, you’ll know if it’s going to be a hit?
Are you a prophet?
Faced with everyone's doubts, Lu Wen was not angry. He just listened to all the new songs and then posted his judgment in the group.
At that time, more than half of the people in the group did not believe him, especially when they saw that he actually made an analysis, and the group chat was filled with doubts.
However, no one expected that the slap in the face would come so quickly!
One week later, this week’s best-selling songs list will be officially announced!
When a group of bored sailors went to look at the list, they were shocked to find that the rankings on the list were completely different from what Lu Wen analyzed!
An unknown new singer unexpectedly became the biggest dark horse, suppressing a group of kings and queens!
From then on, Lu Wen... became famous in one battle!
Since then, whenever a new week comes, many group friends will ask @lvwenyi in the navy group to analyze the new songs of the week.
Same today.
Before the new song was released, a group of trolls were already shouting in the group, asking Lu Wen to analyze the song list for this issue.
The ring battle between rookie Wang Hao and King Zhong Taiji.
Who loses and who wins?
In order to enjoy the feeling of being a saint in front of others, Lu Wen naturally would not refuse the requests of water friends.
After quietly listening to the song "Love You Without Regrets", he nodded with satisfaction.
"As expected of the King of Love Songs, this kind of deep emotion and nostalgia can only be expressed by a talented singer like him."
Chung Tae-ki's new song follows his usual style.
The song sung by him seems like a beautiful story, slowly unfolding on the picture scroll, which makes people resonate unconsciously.
Lu Wen couldn't help but listen to it again, and finally added the song to his favorite playlist.
What a song!
No doubt!
…
In the blink of an eye, Lu Wen found Wang Hao's newly released album.
The album title is also two words - "vast".
Lu Wen couldn't help but be stunned when he saw this name.
He could understand the word "Hao", after all, it was the last word in Wang Hao's name, but he couldn't understand the word "Han".
"Does it mean to describe numerous and vast areas?"
Lu Wen tentatively guessed a few words, and then turned to look at the new song at the bottom of the album - "Huo Yuanjia"!
Because his daughter had a cold, he unfortunately couldn't watch tonight's "I Am a Singer" live broadcast competition.
But just now I heard from water friends in the group that Wang Hao actually won the competition.
And the winning song is this "Huo Yuanjia"!
Lu Wen is very familiar with the name Huo Yuanjia.
This famous patriotic martial artist, from 1901 to 1909, successively defeated the strong men of the Xiong Kingdom and the strong men of the Ying Kingdom who provoked China. He lived a good life in the judo club when he was young, so he became famous.
Wang Hao actually used "Huo Yuanjia" as the title of his new song. Does it have any other meaning?
Guessing in his mind, Lu Wen clicked the play button.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The sudden sound of drums shocked him.
Before I could recover, the sounds of guzheng, electric guitar, drums, bass, pipa, flute, DJ, erhu and other musical instruments came one after another!
It was just a short prelude, but after listening to it, Lu Wen suddenly appeared.
The atmosphere actually lit up!
If you use that prelude and combine it with the background of the era where Huo Yuanjia was at that time...
For a moment, an extremely tragic picture appeared in Lu Wen's mind!
That was a moment when the backbone of a nation was bent, a moment when a country was eroded by foreign powers, a moment when everyone's hearts were filled with unwillingness and anger!
Suddenly, Wang Hao’s loud singing voice sounded:
"[Scare, how many rounds of fate are waiting for you in the ring?
What does life and death win? sneered,
It doesn’t matter who is first in the world,
We should stop fighting and respect martial virtue...]"
After singing the first two verses, Lu Wen was stunned.
"What a domineering word!"
The whole prelude of the song is filled with a unique "motivation", as if a warrior has stepped onto the ring with an indomitable momentum, intending to knock down all the enemies!
But when the lyrics sounded, it seemed as if the battle in the ring had completely begun. The warriors were beating the enemies in front of them to the ground, trying to gain the title of "No. 1 in the martial arts world"!
And when the drama behind it echoed in my ears, a feeling of "softening strength with softness" instantly cleansed my soul.
For a moment, Lu Wen was so shocked that he couldn't help himself!
He really didn't expect that Wang Hao's new album would open with such a song.
Fearless!
On the arena, fight for hegemony!
Wang Hao seems to be using this song to declare his new album to the music world:
