Chapter 379 A blessing in disguise? This blessing is not that easy to enjoy!
The live interview session is still continuing.
More and more fans poured into the live broadcast room, listening to Wang Hao's explanation of his new album, as well as his summary and summary of these recent songs.
"Ten Thousand Frontiers"
"Huo Yuanjia"
"New Drunken Beauty"
The style is similar, the first one is a hit!
This is a place worthy of attention.
When the words "Chinese style" appeared, although netizens were a little confused, they still felt that it seemed very awesome.
Just like the documentary "China" became a hit and attracted praise from experts and professors across the Internet.
As long as the word "China" is in the name, there always seems to be a sense of excitement that makes people's blood boil and their hearts surging!
Of course, this is just an opinion for ordinary people.
When well-known singers, songwriters, lyricists, and professional music critics in the industry hear the three words "Chinese style", all that come to mind without exception is,
——Start a sect!
In front of the computer screen, Mu Zhi's eyes were fixed on Wang Hao in the live broadcast room.
There was an A4 paper in front of him, with the four characters "Establishing a Sect" clearly marked on it, followed by three huge question marks in succession!
A newcomer to the music scene, with three songs, actually shouted out his idea of creating a new style in Kule's live broadcast room.
"Will it succeed?"
Mu Zhi frowned slightly, feeling a little unsure.
He simply closed the live broadcast room temporarily, and then found Wang Hao's three recently released singles from his playlist favorites and listened to them one after another.
Ten minutes later, he was silent.
Only then did he realize that the style of Wang Hao's three new songs was indeed approaching the characteristics of "ancient music".
There are five tones in ancient music, namely: [Gong, Shang, Jiao, Zheng, Yu].
And these three songs, which Wang Hao calls "Chinese style", use exactly these five tones!
But...
"There seems to be something else in it? If it were just ancient style, I'm afraid these three songs wouldn't be able to achieve the results they have today!"
Thinking in his mind, Mu Zhi simply took out his cell phone and called his good friend.
He himself is better at pop music, so he usually chooses pop-style music when reviewing songs.
But his gay friend was different.
When he was in college, his gay friend was jokingly called an "ancient music" expert.
He likes to study all kinds of "ancient elegant music" music, among which "Liangzhou Ci" is his favorite.
Liangzhou Ci, also known as Liangzhou Qu, is a kind of palace tune popular in the ancient dynasty. Compared with today's popular music, this tune has an extremely strong ancient charm.
But it is a pure ancient rhyme, which is very different from the "do, re, mi, fa, sol, la, ti" popular in modern pop music.
However, the three Chinese-style songs that Wang Hao has now created perfectly combine ancient charm with modern pop music!
This made Mu Zhi very curious, what is the essence of this style?
The call was quickly answered, and Mu Zhi said directly without too much nonsense: "Zhou You, have you watched the live broadcast on Kule? What do you understand by the Chinese style?"
"It's explosive!"
"ah!?"
Mu Zhi was stunned for a moment, unable to react.
What the hell is this so explosive?
Not long after, Zhou You on the other end of the phone said: "The simple explanation is that I study ancient music, you study modern pop music, and we each represent a category."
"But now a big hand suddenly appeared, crushed us both to pieces, and then reunited us again, forming the "popular Chinese style"!"
"Are you saying it will explode or not?"
"..."
This explanation is so damn fragile!
After sighing helplessly, Mu Zhi changed the subject: "Of course I know that. I just want to know from you, what is the way to combine this kind of song?"
"To be more specific, what aspects should we start from to create this kind of Chinese-style music?"
"Watch the live broadcast."
"ah???"
“Watch the live broadcast!”
"oh!"
Mu Zhi reacted belatedly and opened the live broadcast room again.
As soon as he entered, he heard the female interviewer asking similar questions: "Haoshen, what aspects do you think should be explored in the creation of this Chinese-style song?"
After thinking for a moment, Wang Hao replied:
“Three ancient and three new!”
The female interviewer's eyes lit up and she hurriedly asked: "Can you elaborate more?"
Wang Hao didn't mean to hide anything. After nodding, he looked at the camera and said:
"The so-called three ancients and three new actually refer to ancient poetry, ancient culture, ancient melodies, new singing methods, new arrangements, and new concepts!"
So that’s it!!!
At this moment, many musicians were shocked and felt suddenly enlightened.
Through Wang Hao's explanation and then substituting it into the three new songs he released, everyone felt that it was too graphic!
…
Here, Wang Hao's live interview is coming to an end, while on the other side, many media people with sharp eyes and quick hands have already compiled articles.
Top 3 on Weibo’s hot search list:
#华夏风! A pioneering work in the music scene!
This title is like a knife in the ass - an eye-opener!
Some netizens who are usually keen on paying attention to hot topics clicked in without hesitation the moment they saw the title. After reading the article, they were stunned.
The comment area was instantly exploded!
"Damn it! He is indeed a man who is called a god. Brother Hao is awesome! He is so terrifying!"
"A pioneering work? I'll be nice! Either you don't make a move, or if you do, it will be Tianhu's card!"
"6, this is an innovation in the entire music world, right? From now on, I, Brother Hao, will be the originator of Chinese style, hahahahaha!"
"No, are you sure this is releasing a new album? Rather than dropping a nuclear bomb in the music world?"
"Haoshen! The posture of a heavenly king!"
"Hahahaha, let's take a look at the list now. Except for Haoshen's songs, everything else seems to be stuck in its rut, and one by one they are making the same mistakes."
"Oh my god! I like this Chinese style so much. It would be great if there were more Chinese style music!"
For a time, the entire Internet became a hot topic.
When the interview was coming to an end, the female interviewer put down the interview card in her hand and said with a smile: "Haoshen, is there anything you want to say to the fans at the end?"
Wang Hao tilted his head, thought a little, and smiled at the camera.
"Whether it's Wan Jiang, Huo Yuanjia, or New Royal Concubine Drunk, the reason why these songs can achieve their current success is inseparable from everyone's strong support."
"I don't know how to thank everyone for their encouragement and love for me, but I know that I can use my music to sing and bring you the best melody!"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a burst of cheers in the live broadcast room.
Netizens are all chirping:
"Brother Hao! I love tiger oil!"
"Hahaha, I just like this kind of straightforwardness,"
"Now that I think about it, we were so damned before, and we still suspected that Brother Hao was cheating on us."
"Brother Hao, I'm sorry, we wrongly blamed you before,"
"Let me just say, this song is pretty good. Although I followed the trend and criticized it at the time, I also downloaded the song,"
"Holy shit! Brothers, go check it out on Weibo! The person who brushed the data was caught! It's him!"
The live broadcast here has just ended, and a new situation has emerged on the other side.
After a lot of scrutiny from netizens and the secret support from caring people, the results soon came to light.
And the person who really brushed the data turned out to be,
——Xu Qian!!!
This piece of news instantly climbed to the top three on the hot search list.
The article analyzes it in detail.
When the Cool Music Technology Department did not conduct data verification before, the data rankings of the seven contestants who participated in "I Am a Singer" on the list seemed to be quite normal.
Fearless ranks first on the list, which just confirms his victory in the first period.
Xu Qian's ranking at the bottom of the list just confirmed that he was eliminated from the competition.
Everything seems reasonable.
but!
With the release of Kule's apology letter and the release of the new list after excluding illegal data, something interesting happened.
Good guy, Xu Qian’s ranking dropped out of the top ten!?
Doesn't this just confirm that he has falsified his data?
If there is no problem, why was your song kicked out so far? But others are still sitting on Diaoyutai?
Although the songs of King Zhong Tianwang and Queen Qin were also squeezed out of the rankings, there is nothing to be done about it. Who can let Haoshen's Chinese style be praised?
But you, Xu Qian, are different!
Before, you posted a weird and sarcastic post on Weibo that Haoshen had falsified the data for his new song? But now the truth is out, you are the one who really falsified the data!
For a moment, netizens who originally felt guilty about Wang Hao became angry.
It didn’t even take half an hour, but Xu Qian’s Weibo comment section was immediately scolded by netizens!
"Good guy, I thought you were a good guy before, but I didn't expect that the real black hand behind it was you!"
"We have tolerated doing cover songs and plagiarism, but can you still be a human being when you are riding a horse?"
"Okay! A thief calls for a thief, right?"
"This dogecoin thing, just wait, my employer and I will go to the Internet to report you now, otherwise I can't. Your copyright for every song is fine!"
"Ha, you single-handedly caused a commotion on the entire Internet? You are really awesome,"
"Disgusting! Fortunately, I thought your singing was pretty good and I voted for you before. It's really disgusting!"
There were so many curses in the comment area that Xu Qian was so frightened that he closed his comment permissions.
But how could netizens give up?
You can turn off Weibo comment permissions, but you can’t turn off song comments, right?
So in the following time, netizens pushed the hot search "Xu Qian brushes data" to the top, and at the same time went to the comment area of his new song to write negative reviews, suppressing the data of his new song to the point of being suppressed.
Beyond twenty!
"Why, why is this happening?"
In front of the computer screen, Xu Qian was stunned as he watched his ranking drop rapidly.
It’s not like he did it alone?
So many people are slandering him, why do they have to bite him and not let him go?
"What about public relations? What does public relations do? Why haven't you taken action?"
Xu Qian suddenly stood up!
After taking out the aggressive red Ferrari from his garage, he drove straight to the company.
If this matter is not handled properly, it is very likely that he will become the scapegoat for this "data brushing incident". It is unknown whether he will be able to continue to work in the music industry, let alone continue to release new songs in the future.
However……
Just as he rushed to the public relations department without stopping, the manager of the public relations department showed helplessness in the face of his anger.
"Brother Qian, our public relations department has been working very hard to suppress the influence of this matter, but this matter is too complicated and cannot be suppressed in a short time!"
"Why? Isn't that what your public relations department is doing? What do you want to do if I can't suppress it? Spend money to suppress it!"
"well!"
The public relations manager shook his head helplessly and simply ignored him.
Spend money?
It's not that easy!
Netizens were all aroused and angry. They finally found a breakthrough. How could they let it go so easily?
Do you think this can be suppressed if you want to?
Seeing the public relations manager's attitude, Xu Qian wanted to say something, but suddenly a cold shout came from outside the door: "Okay, stop arguing!"
Seeing the person outside the door, Xu Qian's eyes lit up and he hurriedly looked at the person as if asking for help.
"Brother Zhang...you have to save me!"
"Convene a press conference and apologize to me first. You should know what to say, right?"
Apologize?
Hearing this, Xu Qian's expression suddenly changed, and he felt unhappy for a while.
This is not a glorious thing. Looking pitifully like a pug in front of the camera is purely embarrassing!
"Not happy? If you're not happy, then I'll arrange for someone to post on Weibo and tell you that you've decided to quit the music scene permanently."
"Don't! Don't! I apologize! Isn't it okay if I apologize?"
Xu Qian was crying and full of sorrow.
Compared to permanently quitting the music scene, an apology is a more reasonable option.
The Internet has no memory. As long as he behaves pitifully enough, after a period of time and the limelight of this incident has passed, he can still come back to make money.
After nodding with satisfaction, the middle-aged man named Brother Zhang said: "As long as you listen to me, this matter won't have much impact."
"When the news passes, I will find a suitable songwriter for you. Don't go down this road of cover singing in the future. It's too risky."
After that, the other party turned around and left.
In the office, the frustration on Xu Qian's face had disappeared without a trace, and was replaced by a face full of joy!
Looking for a music master? No more covers!
So in the future, you can openly announce that you are an original singer?
Thinking of this, Xu Qian was immediately overjoyed.
What is this called?
This is called a blessing in disguise!
only……
Thinking of the look Brother Zhang looked at him before leaving, Xu Qian couldn't help but feel entangled in his heart.
How can you gain anything without giving something?
…
…
Here, Xu Qian is preparing his "apology letter" and practicing his new skill of crying in front of the mirror.
In the Coolle headquarters on the other side, after the live broadcast ended, Wang Hao followed him to visit various departments at the invitation of Zhu Xiaodong, the director of the Propaganda Department.
After walking around, the two returned to Zhu Xiaodong's office.
After the guests of honor were seated, the female secretary on the side brought steaming coffee, then she took the initiative to exit the office and waited at the door.
Zhu Xiaodong also has a straightforward character.
After sitting down, he said straight to the point: "To be honest, the results of your two songs were not what we expected at all, and we did not expect to achieve such results!"
Wang Hao smiled modestly and agreed:
"I am dissatisfied with Mr. Zhu. In fact, I did not expect this situation. When I released the song before, I was worried for a long time whether the audience would not accept it."
"Then I should have confidence in you now, right?"
"Just a little bit."
Regarding Wang Hao's excessive modesty, Zhu Xiaodong nodded noncommittally.
A singer who remains humble at all times must have a clear understanding of his future, coupled with his abnormal songwriting ability...
Obviously, Wang Hao's popularity has become unstoppable!
A good music platform can provide singers with many conveniences, and vice versa!
A singer who is good enough can also bring huge popularity and revenue to the platform, accelerating the development of the platform.
This is a win-win process!
After thinking for a while, Zhu Xiaodong directly revealed another purpose of inviting Wang Hao to Kule.
"After an internal meeting of the company, it was decided that we would like to use your new album to conduct a joint promotion event. What do you think?"
Joint promotion?
Wang Hao was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but asked curiously: "Can you elaborate on it in detail?"
"It's actually very simple,"
Zhu Xiaodong organized his words a little and said: "I remember you said before that this new album will have twelve new songs, right?"
"That's right." Wang Hao nodded lightly.
"Okay then, what we mean is that we want to sign a binding agreement with you personally,"
"The specific content is that every time you release a new song, Kule will give you the best recommendations, including homepage banners, app launch ads, user pop-ups, omni-channel splash screens, etc.,"
"What you need to pay is to sign a three-year binding agreement with the Coolle platform."
"In these three years, you are not allowed to release new songs on other music platforms, which is equivalent to completing the binding with Kule."
"To put it crudely, we are like grasshoppers on a boat. We are both prosperous and losers!"
uh-huh???
After hearing Zhu Xiaodong's explanation, Wang Hao didn't react for a while.
Literally speaking, this is completely beneficial to me, and the only restriction is that I cannot release new songs on other platforms.
Not to mention that there are so many benefits, even if there were not, Wang Hao would not be able to transfer the platform.
Nowadays, among the music playing software in China, Kule is almost firmly in the top spot, with daily user activity of at least tens of millions!
Under such preconditions, how could Wang Hao send new songs to other platforms?
So what is the purpose of this three-year binding agreement?
Zhu Xiaodong explained it this way: "Everyone can see the results of each of your new songs, and we also believe that your new songs will become popular in the future."
"Under such a premise, if we sign a binding agreement with you, it will be of great benefit to us, Kule, without any harm."
"But if you are poached by other platforms, then some fans will inevitably choose to follow you and leave. This is a huge loss for Cool Music."
Wang Hao was a little surprised by Zhu Xiaodong's straightforwardness.
"Aren't you worried that I will raise the price so much because of this?"
Zhu Xiaodong smiled and said: "On the premise of recommendation from all platforms, we will also sign a new sharing contract with you,"
"You get 90%, and Coolle only gets 10% for operations."
The next second, Wang Hao suddenly stood up and stretched out his right hand without hesitation.
"Mr. Zhu, I wish us a happy cooperation!"
Brothers, double monthly pass period, please give me a monthly pass!
