Rebirth of the big era of online games

Chapter 457
The first episode of "Good Songs" followed the setting of the first episode of "Dance".

That is to say, the 12 songs on the stage are all masterpieces or new songs of the members of the recommendation group, and all of them are sung by these "music recommendation people" in person, so as to set a benchmark for all contestants and also to set a sample for the show.

These twelve "Music Appreciators" come from the three places on both sides of the strait, all of whom are well-known masters recognized today, including the old generation and the new generation, such as Huang Zhan, Liu Huan, Cui Jian, Wang Feng, Li Jian, Yu Chengqing, Luo Dayou, Li Zongsheng, Jay Chou and others, not only can all of these people sing, but they are also excellent songwriters and music producers.

Just looking at the lineup, you can see how big the lineup of "Good Song" is, which is equivalent to gathering most of the mentors of "Good Song" and "Good Voice" in the previous life. On this basis, those singers who can only sing are excluded. And joined some well-known songwriters.

Of course, even in the previous life, the phenomenon-level variety show "The Voice" has not yet been born, so this is the first time that so many outstanding musicians have gathered in the domestic music scene to jointly create a top-notch music variety show. It is not an exaggeration to be the Huaguo Music Festival.

The only thing that makes the audience and fans feel regretful is that Fang Jie is not on the list of 12 people. With his name of "Qu Daddy", he is actually fully qualified to be one of the music recommenders.

But last year, everyone regretted "The Great Master of Dancing Forest", and this year they got used to it, and they also want to understand why Fang Jie rarely shows up.

Many people make up their own minds and think that Fang Jie's current status is really not suitable for appearing in variety shows. He is more likely to use his huge resources to create various variety show platforms and promote the benign development of the entire domestic entertainment industry. Moving forward, the pattern is different, so it is naturally impossible to continue playing house with the insiders.

In fact, the real reason is nothing more than Fang Jie's self-knowledge, and he didn't dare to make up for it because he was worried about revealing his secrets.

As for the structure, maybe there is a little bit, but it is not the main reason. As a reborn person, he hopes to participate in it and dig out some well-known excellent songs and musicians in the previous life in advance.

So in the show, in order to prevent some songs or musicians from being missed and buried, he arranged for himself a very special guest status, called: Philharmonic guest.

The so-called "philharmonic guests", as the name suggests, are special guests who like music.

And the particularity of this guest status is that he is not only the chief planner, chief director, and director of the program, but also the investor of the program, and is also recognized as the "Father of Songs" in the music industry, so Fang Jie can not only interfere with the progress of the program and even the competition system at will , also has the right to recommend songs and songwriters, participate in song auction bidding, and is also responsible for publishing big data scoring results.

In short, the authority is very large, the flexibility is very strong, you can intervene in everything, but you can also do nothing, just sit on the sidelines and watch the show honestly, and even declare that you are very busy, and temporary absences are fine. .

This is a very shameless setting, but no one objected. On the contrary, it was taken for granted that Fang Jie had such special rights. After all, almost half of the entire Huaguo entertainment circle is currently controlled by him, and he indeed has such qualifications and leadership. right.

Moreover, they showed their horses and guns, saying that they would do things blatantly instead of doing small tricks behind their backs, so it seems that Fang Jie's rights are great, but in fact they are very limited, because this is equivalent to being supervised by everyone's public opinion. If he wants to do something, at least he has to come up with a convincing reason in person, otherwise he is shooting himself in the foot, so there is nothing wrong with it.

So after the program was officially broadcast, the audience was pleasantly surprised to find that Fang Jie actually participated in the recording of the program this time, not only in a very special identity, but also in a very special way of appearance.

Fang Jie didn't come to the show in person, but sat on the sofa at home and parachuted himself to the show with a holographic projection. A special guest seat was set up for him in a corner of the show's stage.

When the host announced that there would be a very special guest on the show, Fang Jie's holographic projection appeared directly on the sofa of the guest seat, which looked no different from a real person.

Although this real-time holographic projection technology had briefly appeared in last year's "The Greatest Dancer", this scene still stunned everyone on the scene and in front of the screen.

Many people sighed unceasingly, the leader is worthy of being the leader, and it is really eye-opening to be able to play like this.

Perhaps this is one of the leader's descriptions of the future reality virtual world. In the future, everyone can use this projection technology to communicate "face-to-face" with people from all over the world. Traditional communication methods such as telephones, mobile phones, and online videos will be replaced. disuse.

"Everyone just pretend that I don't exist, I'm just here to join in the fun."

Through his own holographic projection, Fang Jie said and did the same thing, but he hardly said anything during the whole process, and the shots were given very little, as if he was just a mascot display with no sense of existence, so the audience They also gradually turned their attention to the show itself.

In the first episode of the show, [-] big names in the industry dedicated their wonderful performances and presented their famous works, such as Liu Huan's "Thousands of Questions", Huang Zhan's "A Laugh in the Sea"...etc. , are all real classics, and in the behind-the-scenes of the show, they also talked about the creation process of these classic songs.

This program is very exciting, allowing the audience to review the twelve classic songs and their authors' mental journey. What an interesting story that really made these excellent songwriters shine.

For example, the song "A Laugh in the Cang Hai" can be sung by almost all people in China, but at the moment the mainland knows very little about its author, Huang Zhan, who is known as the Four Great Talents of Hong Kong, and has never even heard of this master .

As for this song originating from the ancient Chinese sound of "Great joy must be easy", not many people know it. Huang Zhan inverts the five syllables of the ancient Chinese sound, coupled with the lyrics of joy and hatred, "A Laugh in the Sea" "It jumped out from here.

Therefore, the first episode of the program can also be regarded as a science popularization, allowing the audience to further understand the process of composing and writing lyrics, and truly realize the importance of content creation and songwriters, instead of only paying attention to those singers who have no creative ability.

But then again, the purpose of "Good Songs" is to discover those new good songs and musicians. This first episode of the show is wonderful, but it is not fresh enough. This is the main reason why Fang Jie watched the show the whole time.

A week later, the second episode of "Good Songs" premiered.

This time, Fang Jie finally stopped watching, and directly shot and forcibly added a well-known singer-songwriter in the show.

The singer-songwriter is none other than Wang Sulong, who is only 22 years old at the moment.

In his previous life, Wang Sulong created many well-known music works. Most of the content and subject matter of his works were love and love between young people, and some emotional details were well portrayed, which was very immersive.

But maybe it is because of this that he is not seen by the industry authorities. After all, the background of the times is different. When I was young, love was almost equal to introducing a blind date. How can there be so many small loves, small loves, and small emotions among young people today?

So Wang Sulong is a very talented musician. He was well-known in his previous life, but he has never been very popular. It feels like Ye Luzi who debuted as an online singer. Maybe he is too young and frivolous. Personality is also one of the reasons.

The same is true in this life, he signed up for the competition with his original song, but was eliminated in the audition stage, and the twelve music recommenders didn't like his work.

But in fact, he is a serious academic, graduated from the Shenyang Conservatory of Music, and his family is also a musical family. He is only 22 years old and is preparing for his first solo album "Understand Slowly".

In the previous life, some media claimed that Wang Sulong was the uncrowned king of Chinese pop music. This may be exaggerated, but at least he can not only sing but also write at a young age. He has also written many popular masterpieces. This alone is enough to prove that he is Absolutely talented in music, more worthy of cultivation than many other domestic famous singers, and more in line with the purpose of "Good Songs".

So no matter what the music recommenders think, anyway, Fang Jie used his privilege to directly give the green light to forcefully send Wang Sulong to the second episode of the show.

And the song that Fang Jie helped him choose for him to go on stage is a song in his solo album and one of his representative works "Little Star".

So in the second issue of "Good Songs", a total of thirteen original songs appeared on the stage. When Fang Jie shamelessly wanted to add to the show on the spot, it also caused dissatisfaction among some music recommenders and caused some controversy.

Music recommenders are not dissatisfied with Wang Sulong and his songs, but dissatisfied with Fang Jie's behavior and privileges that break the rules of the game.

Someone ridiculed Fang Jie on the spot: "It's better to expand the number of members of the music recommendation group to 13 and add yourself. I believe no one will have any objections, because at least it is abiding by the rules, but like the leader is doing now. Isn't the law above all music recommenders?"

Fang Jie countered: "I am not qualified to be a music recommender, but as a person who loves to listen to music, as the chief director of the show, and the chairman of Boiling Entertainment, I believe I still have the qualifications to recommend a song. You see No, it doesn’t mean I don’t like it either, anyway, I’ve already decided that for his song "Little Star", I will invest 100 million to buy out the copyright of the song on behalf of Boiling Entertainment!"

This sentence can be said to have caused a lot of waves. 100 million bought out the copyright of the song, which directly frightened all the people in the industry present. You must know that this is a price that only well-known "Qu Daddy" can get. Most of the market prices for songs are less than 2, or even free.

Wang Sulong is just a young man who hasn't made his debut yet, how can He De be so loved by the leader?

Now that the leader has shown his attitude with real money, how can other people have any objections? No matter how big the so-called rules of the game are, they are no bigger than the power of capital, not to mention that the rules of the game are originally formulated by capital.

Of course, all these controversies in the show were deliberately created conflict gimmicks for the effect of the show. Those who ridiculed Fang Jie were not stupid. If it wasn't for the private arrangement instructions of the show group, they would not dare to raise objections in person.

However, this matter was never discussed with the person involved, Wang Sulong, so he was so moved on the stage that he burst into tears on the spot.

Regarding this, Fang Jie could only be speechless.

What's even more speechless is that despite his praise, the song with the highest rating in this program is not "Little Star" sung by Wang Sulong, but "Because of Love" by Xiao Ke.

Who is Xiao Ke? Except for a few people in the industry, let alone the audience, even Fang Jie was in a daze at the beginning, completely unaware of the origin of this man.

But Fang Jie is very familiar with his original song "Because of Love". sentence.

What is more familiar is that it was not Xiao Ke himself who performed this song on stage, but the original singers of this song: Faye Wong and Eason Chan!
The King of Singers and the Queen of Songs came to the stage together, and this song was already classic enough, it directly blew up the audience and became the hot spot and the number one song of the second issue of "Good Songs".

During the auction, major entertainment companies and music companies, including Boiling Entertainment, raised their bids to more than 200 million yuan.

But Xiao Ke, the author of the song, said with a shy smile that the song has been sold to Eason Chan and has been included in Eason Chan’s new album to be released this year. Not a lot.

As a result, the auction session had to be temporarily terminated, and many people congratulated Eason Chan for finding the treasure. At the same time, unwilling to reconcile, they began to question Xiao Ke's details, wanting to see if he had any other good songs that could be missed.

As a result, the first qualification reported by others left the audience and all the audience outside the venue, including Fang Jie, shocked and speechless.

His original words were: "I wrote the song "Welcome to the Capital" sung by the stars of the Olympic Games."

This……

Just relying on this qualifications and achievements, what else can you say?
This is definitely a hidden songwriter. If it weren't for the program "Good Song", this guy would still be diving silently.

I am afraid that this is also the common situation of talented musicians in China. In previous lives, almost all Chinese people would hum a few lines of the classic song "Because of Love", and they also knew that it was sung by Faye Wong and Eason Chan. Everyone knows, how can more good songs emerge in such a creative environment?

The appearance of Xiao Ke further strengthened Fang Jie's thinking.

Ten years from now, the Chinese music scene in this life must not be like the old one, let alone be like the previous life. In the end, everyone can only pin their hopes on Jay Chou's new album. That is really a great sadness.

After the second episode of the program was broadcast, Wang Sulong's "Little Star" became popular, but unfortunately, under the pressure of the song "Because of Love", his "Little Star" could only come in second, and his People are still not popular, and all the limelight has been snatched away by the king of songs and the queen of songs.

This is really helpless, the song "Because of Love" is so good, it captured the hearts of all audiences and listeners in an instant, and the next day, all the streets and alleys across the country began to repeat this song endlessly.

Since the album has not been released yet, the live version is still played, but it is not a problem if there are singing kings and queens who sing in person. These two have a large number of fans in China. To be able to dominate the headlines of the day, Wang Sulong really couldn't beat it, and Fang Jie could only express his helplessness.

However, according to the regulations of the program, the top three in the total score of each program will automatically be eligible to send the songs of the next program first. Since "Little Star" got No.2 in the total score of the previous program, then Wang Sulong will not just bury it , there is still one chance to take the stage.

However, Wang Sulong was even worse in the third episode of the show, and only won the No.3 score with the song "A Little Sweet" in his previous life.

And the musician who ranked No. 2 in the overall score ahead of him is also a singer-songwriter that Fang Jie is very familiar with - Xue Zhiqian.

Xue Zhiqian didn't explain much, he made his debut as early as 05, but he has been calm and not popular, but this time he participated in "Good Songs", but he took out the song "What Do You Want From Me" A classic bitter love song, a direct battle to become a god.

But Xue Zhiqian, like Wang Sulong, was also a little unlucky. It happened that he met Chen Xi and Dong Dongdong, a couple born in the 80s.

These two, one who wrote the lyrics and the other who composed the music, presented the classic work "Where Has the Time Gone", and the original singer Wang Zhengliang played and sang live, which directly turned the scene into a sea of ​​tears, while the audience outside the venue also burst into tears. .

So in the end, "Where's the Time Goes" that can make everyone sing and cry overwhelmed the crowd and became the top song of the third episode.

In fact, in Fang Jie's memory, "Where Has the Time Gone" was in the previous life, and it was only released during the 2014 Spring Festival Gala.

But in the behind-the-scenes footage of this episode, the husband and wife team Chen Xi and Dong Dongdong said that this song was created as early as last year and was going to be used as the theme song of a TV series this year. It just happened that the "Good Song" program was launched , so the two tried to sign up for the competition with this song.

Fang Jie liked this song very much in his previous life, but he happened to meet him in this life, so it was no different. He directly bid 200 million yuan and bought out the copyright of this song.

As for Wang Sulong's "A Little Sweet" and Joker Xue's "What Do You Want From Me", although they are both excellent, they can only rank second or third in comparison.

The luck in the misfortune is that these two people are still eligible to take the green channel to appear in the next program.

But in the fourth program, the No.1 laurel crown was still taken by Chen Xi and Dong Dongdong. "Champion, Jane Zhang, who is already a well-known singer.

In this episode of the show, although the hard-working Wang Sulong came up with the title song of his album "Gravity", it still only ranked second.

Xue Zhiqian, who was even harder, didn't even make it to the top three, and directly lost the qualification for the next green channel.

And in the fifth issue, Wang Sulong, who has been fighting and losing repeatedly, may have been stimulated by the previous issues, so he was really ruthless, and unexpectedly created "Unconvinced" in advance.

The song "Unconvinced" was created by Wang Sulong in his previous life when he participated in the "I Am a Singer-Composer" variety show in 2019, and was beaten in the face due to repeated failures.

As a result, in this life, I encountered this situation ahead of time, so with a feeling in my heart, "Dissatisfaction" came out ahead of time.

The lyrics can be said to express his current aspirations:
How many people fell into the storm in their hearts, struggling to talk to themselves, struggling to hysteria;

How many people are struggling and stepping on other people's heads slowly, all eager for quick success and quick profit for their own purposes;
……

I am not afraid of losing, I am only afraid that I am a little lonely;
I am not jealous, even if you laugh at me for being stupid;

……

I still have a way to go, I can't help roaring;

Where is the way back, let me be proud;
I don't cry anyway, I just want to be remembered;
I will never be satisfied, I gamble with this life;
Anyway, I'm not afraid of losing, I use the talent my parents gave me—I won't accept it!
……

I have to admit that "Unyielding" is indeed a good song. The melody and lyrics fully demonstrate the stubbornness and indomitable spirit of a young man.

If you have to pick a bone, it's a little rebellious, a little bit more hostile, I feel like a person with low self-esteem, who is forcing himself to build up his mind, and the result makes outsiders look more humble.

Perhaps because of this little flaw, even if Wang Sulong played "Unconvinced" with extraordinary performance, he still did not win the championship of the current program, and the one who defeated him was still the seemingly unknown couple.

The husband and wife team produced a classic song "Just One Time" that once again made many audiences cry.

Just looking at the name of this song, no one may have any impression, but when it comes to the movie "Charlotte Annoyance" released in 2015, it is estimated that many people will suddenly realize that this song is an episode in the movie, the original singer Aska Yang.

It was only at this moment that Fang Jie suddenly realized that the husband and wife team had created so many classic and popular songs, and each of them was a song he liked very much in his previous life.

It is conceivable that even Fang Jie, who has a photographic memory and is known as the Chinese Xiaoqu library, did not know the name of the husband and wife team before, let alone other ordinary audiences.

There are actually many talented music creators like this husband and wife team, but everyone only knows the songs they created, but never cares about who created these songs. The money they earn from their songs may be Just a fraction of the singers who walk around with their songs.

This is a great injustice, and it is also the root cause of the vicious circle in the Huaguo music scene. No matter what happens in this life, Fang Jie wants to reverse this situation.

So nothing to say, the couple's new song was still bought by Fang Jie at a high price in the name of Boiling Entertainment. After the three episodes of the show, "Where did the time go", "Finally Waiting for You", and "Just Once" song, allowing the couple to get more than 500 million song copyright fees.

If this follows the normal historical process, it would be good if these three songs can be sold in a package of 50 yuan, but in this world, with Fang Jie, a good financial backer, it is no longer a fantasy for music creators to become rich overnight, but it also inspires A large number of musicians who still dream of wearing clothes.

The only thing that made the audience feel a little regretful was that Wang Sulong, the unlucky kid, was really unlucky, the second child in ten thousand years, and never won the first place once.

In the sixth episode of the program, it was the same result, and the one who defeated Wang Sulong was Xue Zhiqian who had been silent for two episodes before.

Joker Xue, in order to show his face on stage again, found Li Ronghao, who is still unknown to the audience, and asked him to help compose the music, and then he wrote the lyrics himself, and finally co-created the classic masterpiece "Ugly".

Seeing that "The Ugly" was created 3 years ahead of schedule, Fang Jie was somewhat relieved. This shows that under the wings of his butterfly, the domestic music scene is already ahead of his previous life, and the industry is already thriving. .
