"How did you make your first album? At that time, no one thought about releasing an album as an online music album, right? What is the origin of such a format?" Keira asked.
Wang Zhengfei tilted his head slightly. In fact, it was because the pressure of the CCTV ban was too great. Under the pressure of CCTV, no one dared to offend CCTV for Wang Zhengfei, a newcomer. Even if he could offend CCTV, there was no need to offend Wang Zhengfei.
CCTV is really not necessary.
So Wang Zhengfei had no choice but to think of taking the career of a singer. If he goes well as a singer, he will have a bright future.
However, if you want to be a singer, you have to sign with a record company. Currently, Star Entertainment is still a comprehensive company that is mainly an economic company and supplemented by a film and television company. It does not have any experience in recording.
I have no experience, so if I want to release a record, I have to hand over Wang Zhengfei's record to someone else. Let's not talk about Gao Yan's thoughts on this, but the time and energy spent in this process can be said to be very huge.
It can't be completed in a year and a half. Find a company, negotiate terms, sign a contract, and then start collecting songs, then produce, record, record records, and put them on the shelves. Without the time in between, it would be impossible.
Finish.
It was extremely urgent to break the ban imposed by CCTV, and it was impossible to wait for that long, not to mention that there might not be any record company that would fight CCTV for him.
Compared with ordinary regular albums, online music albums are distributed on the Internet, so the time required can be said to be shortened countless times. For ordinary online musicians, the biggest problem is the problem of songs, which must be
Choosing a catchy song that can become an instant hit often takes a long time to brew, but for Wang Zhengfei, this is the least of the problems. There are not many other things in his mind, but the most songs in the future.
, so I chose an online album at that time. This seemed extremely risky at the time, but now it seems to be a relatively correct decision.
Of course, this so-called online music album is actually not the right way, and it does not mean that this method is not good. It is just that this method is not conducive to the development of the music scene. Now that the music scene is so sluggish, piracy is actually only part of the reason.
After all, piracy has existed before the new century, but the problem is that what really pushed the music world into the abyss was the emergence of MP3. MP3 is countless times more lethal than the original Walkman, and even CDs are not
You need it, and you can download countless songs at any time without paying a dime. It can be said to be as confusing as it is.
All the major record companies hated this gadget. Facts have proved that online albums are not cost-effective, and the capital cannot be recovered. It is not a long-term solution at all. Only regular records are the way to develop. This is why Wang Zhengfei quickly turned to
The reason for the development of physical albums is that only physical development can lead to cyclical development.
"The first album, this may have something to do with the environment in which I debuted. When I debuted, I was on the Internet. Before the first online album was released, I actually had some singles on the Internet one after another.
"The final selection of the online album has something to do with it!" Wang Zhengfei said.
"My situation was not very good at the time, so I thought about changing my job and changing my mood, so I thought of releasing an album. I just happened to have some songs on hand!" Wang Zhengfei said.
"Many people say that the songs in your album have many different styles, but they are all very nice. I wonder how you wrote them?" Kayla asked after taking a sip of soup.
"It depends, but I will experience different situations to stimulate the source of inspiration. Basically, my works are all derived from my life!" Wang Zhengfei said with a smile. Indeed, his works are all
Some experiences derived from life will be relatively more real.
"Who are the main influences on your varied music styles?" Keira asked.
"There are many, such as Stephen Chow, Andy Lau, Jacky Cheung, and Jay Chou!" Wang Zhengfei said.
"Wait a minute, Jay Chou, is that Taiwanese Jay Chou?" Kayla said suddenly.
"Yes, that's him. Do you know him?" Wang Zhengfei asked.
"Oh, of course, he was the third artist to appear in our weekly magazine before you. His interview a few years ago was also conducted by me!" Keira said.
"So that's it!" Wang Zhengfei said, has Jay Chou been in Time Magazine? Wang Zhengfei didn't know it at first, but before the interview with Time Magazine, he paid special attention to it. It seems that this is really the case. Jay Chou was in Time Magazine in 2003.
appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, and Wang Zhengfei seems to be the first mainland artist to appear on the cover of Time Magazine. This honor is not low.
"Zhou is only a few years older than you, how come you are influenced by his music!" Kayla asked. You know, Jay Chou is only a few years older than Wang Zhengfei, and we are still the same generation. How could you say that?
Wang Zhengfei was influenced by Jay Chou's music.
"In fact, that's it. In fact, I am also a fan of Jay Chou!" Wang Zhengfei said with a smile. In his previous life, Wang Zhengfei admired this very famous Zhou Tianwang. Although he is not a die-hard fan, he is generally speaking.
It can be considered support.
"You know, I was not an artist from the beginning. When Jay Chou was already in your magazine, I had just made my debut!" Wang Zhengfei said. In his previous life and this life, he has not been influenced by Jay Chou at all.
influence, that is impossible.
Kayla thought about it. Although Wang Zhengfei's influence is already somewhat different from Jay Chou's, many people would find it hard to imagine that Wang Zhengfei would still be a fan of Jay Chou. Of course, this fan should refer to music.
Not just fans in the general sense. When Wang Zhengfei debuted, Jay Chou was already famous. At that time, no one thought that Wang Zhengfei would come out of nowhere and eventually surpass Jay Chou's achievements and influence.
To a certain extent, Jay Chou and Wang Zhengfei are very similar. They are both representatives of the younger generation of singers. Both caused a sensation as soon as they debuted. Both are topical figures. They both appeared in Time Magazine in just a few years. Of course,
, Wang Zhengfei is much younger than Jay Chou.
"Many people say that the Chinese style you make has a very Chinese flavor. What do you think about this?" Kayla said.
"Chinese style, it should be said, has just emerged. There will definitely be a variety of Chinese style songs in the future. It should be said that this is a very broad field. China has five thousand years of history and culture.
, these are precious treasures left to us by our ancestors, and there are many more that we can discover, and they are definitely not limited to the Chinese styles that everyone hears now!" Wang Zhengfei said. "And I just officially listed this style.
It just came out. In fact, many people have tried it before, including Jay Chou, Wang Leehom, etc. It is said that the waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead, and the waves in front die on the beach. I think I will die on the beach sooner or later.
Be one of the first wave!"
After listening to the translator's translation, Keira suddenly burst into laughter. She didn't expect that Wang Zhengfei had such a humorous side.
"How would you describe your music?" Keira asked.
"My music is all music I like, and I only make music I like!" Wang Zhengfei said, if he didn't like these songs, he wouldn't be able to remember them at all.
"Are you satisfied with other singers' interpretation of your music?"
"I should be quite satisfied with it. My works, if I don't sing them myself or sing them in chorus, are all songs for the junior girls in my company. They are all girls' songs. Of course they are different from what I sing.
, they are very capable artists!" At this time, Wang Zhengfei briefly recommended several of his junior sisters.
"If you speak very frankly, will the company object?" Kayla asked. Before coming here, she had done a lot of homework and knew that Wang Zhengfei was the kind of person who was very straightforward, that is to say, he didn't have any scruples about what he said.
Basically, he is just a fool. With a personality like this, let alone in the entertainment industry, he will not be very popular even in ordinary workplaces. This is why, there are few people in the entertainment industry who dare to say
To be honest, it would look particularly conspicuous, as if it stood out from the flock of chickens, and Wang Zhengfei was undoubtedly the most dazzling crane among the cranes that stood out from the flock.
"I can't help it, my character is like this! The company can only regard it as my personal characteristics. They can't force me to pretend to be the same as others and let me tell lies!" Wang Zhengfei said with a smile.
Speaking frankly is actually very beneficial. At least you will rarely encounter any crisis of trust, unlike many idols who pretend to be very good. Because the image they create is too perfect, they are easily suspected and criticized because
That kind of perfect image is fake at first glance, and the public are not fools, because the image you originally presented is fake, and the public knows it is fake, so how can you win the public's trust? If it is based on lies, no matter what
What nonsense you say, lies are always lies, and lies are always just lies!
