Debut After Eight Years

The homogenization of European and American pop music in the past ten years has also been extremely serious!

Personality is gradually being lost.

Most popular songs are very similar, and many of the same elements and qualities can be found in them.

This is because, like Hollywood movies, the pop music world is transforming into an industrialized and professional assembly line production model.

Someone did the statistics!

In the past ten years, more than 90% of the top ten songs on the North American Billboard are the works of the studio team, and most of the remaining 10% are completed by two or more people. , only a very small part is completed by individuals, and among these very few personal works, almost all of them are the works of Christine.

In other words, the current European and American pop songs are basically industrialized products of the assembly line!

And these pop music factories are those world-renowned top professional production teams, composed of many professional musicians.

They will carry out customized creation according to the characteristics of a certain big-name star, every melody, every lyric, every chorus in the creation process, and even the oh, yeah, baby that the singer shouted in the song has nothing to do with the lyrics These words are all completed by a special person, and each paragraph needs to be reviewed by the singer and its producer to pass the requirements, and then it is combined by the top producer to complete a popular song!

Such a song has almost most of the characteristics of popular songs that most ordinary people like.

The ear-catching melody, catchy vocabulary, simple and direct meaning of the lyrics, and the electronic soundtrack in line with the fast-paced era, combined with the singing characteristics of professional singers, can basically be popular for a while.

However, such songs can only be popular for a while, and cannot last long. After a long time, they will be forgotten by everyone, and will be replaced by other songs with similar popular elements and characteristics. I can't tell which song I have heard in the end.

so!

For ten years...

Many European and American fans who like to listen to music have found that it seems that in the past ten years, they have not heard any songs worth remembering. The only songs worth remembering seem to be some of Christine's works, and a few songs by a few singers song.

They don't remember any other songs at all.

Even when some songs became popular, they listened to them on a loop for a whole day.

However, after ten days and a half months, they forgot.

This is the direct reason why Christine is known as the No. 1 sister in the European and American music circles.

Because other singers are not worthy of comparison with her, and only she insists on writing songs by herself. Each album has a distinct personal style, and one or two songs in each album are enough for many fans to listen to for years. I will feel tired, and I can recall it in my memory in a few years, and I will not forget it. Most of these songs will become enduring classics.

Of course, this is also a phenomenon that is happening in the Chinese pop music scene.

It's just that before the Chinese pop music scene was successful, it had already started to copy the European and American models, so it was not as good as the European and American pop music scene. In the past ten years, there have been few hit works. The two popular songs, but those serious singers did not release more popular works.

Until the appearance of Liu Shengnan and Wang Qian.

This is also the reason why Wang Qianneng became popular in China. The songs are beautiful, have a unique style, and even have profound humanistic thinking. This is an absolutely rare good work in this era. sons are distinguished.

Now……

The song Itsmylife sung by Wang Qian at the opening performance of The Voice is just like the song Shameless he sang on the stage of The Voice of China. The song shook the entire European and American pop music world like a thunderbolt, and attracted many fans. I was amazed.

Especially many young people in their teens and twenties are the most amazing!

They were used to listening to all kinds of industrialized assembly line songs in the past ten years, and suddenly they heard Wang Qian's relatively retro, hard rock songs with a unique style, which surprised them. They were amazed that there is such a good song?

so!

Wang Qian's Itsmylife became popular overnight in Europe and America.

In terms of download data, it shocked the entire European and American pop music world, and the data and rankings even made many people feel horrified!

Is this the result of a rookie contestant's first official release of his work in Europe and America?

No one can believe it!

no doubt.

Among the ten contestants, Wang Qian still sits firmly in the first position!

Itsmylife, the download data reached 12380660.

One night, 12.38 million download data.

Wang Qian himself saw it, and he was still in a relatively calm mood, because he was used to data even more exaggerated than this on Huaxia's own Qianqianjingting platform, and he has experienced more than 30 million downloads in one night!

Therefore, the song Itsmylife only received more than 12 million downloads in one night on the North American music platform, and Wang Qian was very calm!

But!

For example, Adam, Jonathan, Sophie, Elizabeth, Miyuki Nakamori and others were shocked when they saw it.

Other professional musicians and singers in the entire North American pop music scene saw it, and they were also very shocked and said they couldn't accept it!

Adam directly shouted in a low voice: God, isn't this true?

Adam widened his eyes and looked carefully, and found that he was not mistaken, and he did not look at a single number. It was indeed more than 12 million download data, and he was firmly ranked first!

But……

Adam still couldn't believe it.

He clearly remembered that when Christine created a single-day download data of more than 10 million, it shocked the entire European and American pop music scene.

Of course, he felt that when Christine released the song, he was too low-key and didn't get too involved in publicity, so the early publicity was not enough, so the data explosion in a short period of time was not high enough.

However, Wang Qian downloaded more than 12 million data in one night, what the hell is that?

This Huaxia player, coming to North America for the first time to officially release a song, is he going to set the record for the highest paid download in a single day in North America?

Who can accept this?

Anyway, Adam said he could not accept it.

But what if you can't accept it?

Adam looked at it uncomfortable for a few seconds, then took a deep breath to calm himself down, and then continued to look at the second one.

As expected.

It's still Wang Qian's work, that piano piece, Magic City Rhapsody, has accumulated more than 6 million downloads in one night, after all, it's just a piano piece, and it seems that the successor is starting to lose strength!

However, Adam changed his mind

More than 6 million downloads in one night, far more than myself, and I still lack the strength of a P...

Feeling depressed, Adam looked at the third place. It was still Sophie's work. It accumulated more than 5 million downloads in one night, and it was only less than 500,000 away from the second place. There is a possibility of catching up and surpassing, but after one night, there is no way to surpass it!

fourth……

Still Adam.

For some reason, Adam was inexplicably relieved.

It seems that he was relieved to secure fourth place?

Adam felt stuffy, uncomfortable, and wanted to cry...

He is the champion of North America, and he was touted by many people at the beginning, and he has already booked the championship position of the global finals of The Voice.

But now he is relieved to secure fourth place?

ashamed!

Adam didn't want to continue reading, so he directly closed the list, feeling extremely depressed, picked up the phone and called Winston directly.

The phone was connected quickly.

The first thing Winston said when he answered the phone was, Have you read the list?

Adam said in a low voice: Well, I just finished watching it, and I can't believe it. How can Wang Qian do it? Do you know that he got 12 million downloads in one night, which may surpass Chris today. Ting created 17 million downloads in a single day.

Why?

Adam asked the biggest question on his mind!

Why?

Why?

Can a Chinese newcomer come to North America to release a song for the first time, can he do this?

is he god

Winston was in his apartment at the moment, holding the phone while staring at the computer screen, frowning together, looking at several lists and data on the computer screen, thinking carefully, listening to Adam He said softly, Adam, I'm also thinking about this question, and I've figured out a little bit of it so far, and it might be able to answer your question.

Adam didn't feel happy at all, and said in a low voice, What answer did you come up with?

Winston still said softly: Unique style, heart-inspiring! There are two more points, one is that Christine's last album has been released for more than a year! The second is that in recent years, apart from Grace Apart from Christine's works, there are no good works that are too hard and amazing!

So, as soon as Wang Qian's work came out, it surprised the entire European and American music circles. Everyone liked it very much, so they would naturally download it.

According to statistics, more than one billion people around the world watched his performance last night, so it is not impossible to have tens of millions of downloads in one night! You know, when Christine released a song last time, there was no Such a large-scale publicity. She didn't even publicize it at the time, she just announced it on her Weibo, and the company only started the publicity a week in advance, and still set a record of more than 10 million downloads in a single day.

The global publicity resources that Wang Qian has enjoyed from The Voice this time is definitely the highest standard in the history of the entire world pop music scene.

Winston's voice paused for a moment, but Adam on the other side of the phone did not speak and remained silent.

Because, Winston said, Wang Qian enjoyed the highest-level publicity resources in the history of the world pop music scene. But Adam clearly knew that not only Wang Qian enjoyed this kind of resources, but he and other players also enjoyed it. Even as the number one player, he enjoyed resources that were two grades higher than Wang Qian's!

Therefore, in fact, Adam was the singer who enjoyed the best publicity resources in the history of pop music before!

but……

His grades are far worse than Wang Qian's.

This shows that the gap between him and Wang Qian is even bigger!

The truth is really heartbreaking...

Adam didn't want to talk for a while.

Winston continued: Adam, the current fans' desire for good works is beyond our imagination. It can be reflected in this song by Wang Qian. Everyone is very eager for such excellent works with personal style. Everyone seems to be tired of listening to the studio's heavily homogenized popular works.

Over the past year or so, many big-name singers' new works created by teams have achieved relatively average results! This has caused the entire European and American pop music market to be relatively sluggish.

I used to think that there were more natural and man-made disasters in the past year or so, and people were not in the mood to listen to music, which led to a bad market response. Now it seems that it may not be... either because of external factors, or because our works are not good enough. It's our own fault.

Adam's voice gradually calmed down, and he asked: So, Winston, what should we do?

Winston sighed, and said: I don't know what to do for a while! The trend of the market seems to be detected by Wang Qian. However, it is difficult for us to adjust our style to deal with the market in a short time. Change! Because time is too short.

We have to create pop songs for you in such a short period of time that fit your unique style and are different from many previous group works. It is very difficult. If one is not good, the resulting work may not be as good as the previous works. If popular, that would be bad.

Adam was silent for a few more seconds, and then said: Winston, what if I create my own? I use my own ideas to create music. Isn't this my own unique style of music?

Winston smiled wryly, and said: Adam, you only participated in the creation before and made some comments. You haven't fully participated in the creation, let alone created a song in its entirety. Are you sure you can really ?

The so-called so-called Adam has a brilliant creative talent and is deeply involved in music creation and adaptation. In fact, it is the team's publicity to the outside world, in order to set up a talented person for Yedang.

In reality, Adam had very little to do with the creation.

Adam fell silent again, took a few deep breaths to calm himself down, and said in a difficult tone: So, can I deeply participate in the team's creation? I want to put forward my opinion, and I think the work really has my own style!

Winston thought for a while and agreed: Of course!

Although, he is the world's top producer with a weird temper.

However, he is doing things with money after all.

Adam, after all, is his client!

If he is not confident enough in himself, and Adam has his own request, then he can only agree!

Looking at the terrifying download data of Wang Qian's song on the computer screen, Winston didn't have any confidence to use his team's non-characteristic assembly line works to fight against it.

Perhaps, the assembly-line works created by him and his team are in line with the advantages and characteristics of popular songs, and they can also be successful and get good results. Even if they can be given to some first-line singers as the title song of the album, it will basically be in the top ten of the billboard. No problem, if you are lucky, you may even enter the top three or even reach the top!

But……

That's all.

The works of him and his team will never be able to shock or even amaze the world like Christine and Wang Qian's work, breaking the records of European and American music circles!

Even now, he is worried about the prospect of himself and his team, as well as other similar pop music production teams!

Because, if Wang Qian can continue to release good songs like this in the follow-up, and still achieve great success in the European and American music scene, and this year, Christine will release another album, then the two may change the European and American pop music market in one fell swoop. aesthetics and wind direction!

The market may no longer accept and like those assembly line works with serious homogeneity, but will only like the good works of Christine and Wang Qian with their own in-depth thinking and personal style!

until then...

Those independent singers with unique styles, as well as independent songwriters, may become popular.

Their team-based creative studio without any characteristics may gradually be eliminated!

Pop music may gradually return to the style of the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s, the era when many personal styles of music prevailed.

At that time, every song, even if it was the first time I heard it, just listened to the prelude and two lines of lyrics to know whose work it was, even if it was not sung by the original creator himself, I could also determine whose work it was from the music style .

This is fundamentally different from the current assembly line pop music. Most of the popular pop songs are sung by individuals. There is no difference, because the songs themselves do not have a unique style and can suit the singing style of most singers.

This may also prove that fashion itself is a circle, and it will eventually return to the starting point!

This is not only applicable in the field of clothing design, but also in the field of pop music?

so……

Winston felt a sense of existential crisis.

He chose to compromise.

Try to make new changes and incorporate some unique personal styles into the music, maybe it will be successful?

Adam continued: Shall we start now? Winston, I can't wait.

He couldn't wait to make a change, couldn't wait to improve himself, otherwise he would collapse under the tremendous pressure of Wang Qian's terrifying data.

While thinking about how to cooperate with Adam, Winston said, Of course, you can come to the recording studio after breakfast.

Adam: Okay, I'll have breakfast right away, and I'll be there right away! Actually, I have a lot of ideas that I want to incorporate into my music...

Winston looked at another page and said softly, By the way, Adam, have you read the Billboard rankings yet?

Adam was taken aback!

Bulletin board list?

What's the meaning……

Adam thought about it for a while, then clicked instantly, his complexion changed slightly, and he quickly operated the page with his fingers to enter the bulletin board general list.

It is the pop song sales list!

The charts of all the songs on sale in the European and American music scene, no matter whether it is a new song or an old song, as long as the sales data can enter the top 200, it will enter the list ranking!

It's just that, almost everyone pays attention to the top ten. In fact, it is a good result to be in the top two hundred.

And this time, while The Voice officially cooperated with Billboard, it did not prevent the contestants' works from relying on their own performance to hit the Billboard's overall list.

Adam only paid attention to the rankings and statistics of the players just now, but he didn't think of this one all of a sudden!

Now after Winston's reminder, he immediately opened the bulletin board list with trembling fingers!

See the name of the top song and the name of the artist.

Adam felt his mind go blank.

one night!

Just one night!

No. 1 on the Airborne Bulletin Board...

How did this guy do it?

Why can he do it?

Why is he?

A question from the depths of the soul reappeared in Adam's heart.

At the same time, Winston's voice rang in his ears: Did you know? Adam, according to statistics, in the past ten years, no more than 20 works have been able to reach the top of the billboard charts on the first day of their release. Among them, Christine occupies three. Others add up to only seventeen works can do this. However, only three of Kristen's songs have been able to stabilize after airborne at the top of the chart! And the popular songs released in this decade There are tens of thousands of songs, and there are hundreds of songs that have reached the top of the Billboard charts!

He is the first one who can directly airborne the first song in North America! In the history of European and American pop music, there has never been any singer who can release the first song publicly and directly airborne on the first day. At the top of the list, no one, not even Christine, and so many talented singers did not do it 20 or 30 years ago.

Now, he's come to do it.

In Winston’s view, the two singles released by Wang Qian in Huaxia before were officially released by Good Voice in North America, and they were not published by him himself, so they are not considered his publicly released works. This Itsmylife , is Wang Qian's first publicly published work in North America!

And when the first piece of work was released publicly, it directly airborne to the top of the bulletin board. Wang Qian is really the first in the history of European and American pop music!

Over the past few decades, no matter how many geniuses and how powerful the kings and queens have been, they have not achieved this when they debuted. Some people have reached the top of the first song, but it is not the first day, but they have accumulated a lot. Genius did it.

Adam's head was still buzzing, and his eyes were slightly dull looking at the top name on the computer screen.

Why can he do it?

Adam still didn't understand.

...

Sophie studied piano before and was a piano genius, so when she saw this statistic, although she also felt that Wang Qian was very good, she was not as hit as Adam.

Because, she is not focused on the pop music scene.

However, she also probably knew that Wang Qian might be engraved in history by the European and American pop music circles just by relying on this song.

Think about it!

Sophie posted a message on her Facebook account: Maybe, we are participating in history!

Simple sentence.

She performed and competed on the same stage with Wang Qian, which gave her a sense of honor and weight in participating in history, and she had a more direct and profound understanding of Wang Qian's musical talent.

After all, the market is the ultimate test of everything.

Now, the market has given the answer.

The answer proves that Wang Qian's musical talent is truly indescribable.

Sophie's news was quickly forwarded and liked by fans in Europe and America.

Although everyone didn't know what she meant by this sentence, many fans still liked and reposted it. After all, it was posted by the goddess, so just follow along.

Sophie looked at her data again, not even half of the song Itsmylife by Wang Qian, and now she was thinking about the music.

She is not a stickler for old times, she tried to find some popular qualities in Wang Qian's works, and then incorporated them into her own songs!

It's not about changing your own style, but about incorporating things that more people like.

Now, as a pop musician, adapting to the market and the public is her only criterion for success!

So, that's what she did.

Wang Qian has now become the vane of the pop music market in her eyes.

...

early in the morning.

The entire North American pop music market was shocked as if a magnitude 10 earthquake had occurred, and many musicians even stayed up all night!

In the private discussion group among many musicians, everyone was frantically discussing Wang Qian, the data of Wang Qian's two works, and the possibility of breaking the single-day download record previously held by Christine!

The most important thing is...

The historical significance of the fact that Wang Qian parachuted to the top of the billboard charts on the first day of his song release!

Everything is very important to their pop music world.

And Wang Qian was the focus of their discussion.

Their discussions are private.

However, those music critics, media people, and self-media people made crazy speeches and discussions in the open.

same!

Many people still insist that they cannot accept it.

A self-media person said: I don't believe this is true. This Huaxia player must have used data. This is their favorite way of Chinese people. In many talent shows in China, players will spend money to brush data. Wang Qian must have paid someone to review his sales data. Tomorrow, his sales data will definitely plummet!

And this kind of self-deception still has a lot of support in North America.

A lot of people still can't understand a Huaxia player creating miraculous results on their territory. If it really happened, it must be fake, cheating, not real.

There are also some music critics who criticized Wang Qian's two works as useless, and even forcibly found some unknown old works in Europe and America, and compared some fragments with Wang Qian's two works, so as to This is to prove that Wang Qian's work is plagiarized, but a reasonable person will think it is nonsense after reading this so-called analysis.

In addition to these malicious statements, there are many who expressed their support!

After all, most people have sharp eyes and clear ears!

Whether the song is good or not, and whether the live performance is good or not, everyone knows clearly after listening to it!

Some music critics analyzed: Wang Qian's Itsmylife! represents an extremely unique personal style. Coupled with the powerful performance of the live performance, Wang Qian's world-class performance has attracted more than one billion people all over the world. It is understandable that the audience can achieve such results. If Christine’s works had such a strong publicity back then, the single-day download record created at that time would certainly not be so low.”

We should not blindly slander Wang Qian and his works. We should see that so many people in the world like his works. We should learn from his works to create more good works and improve ourselves!

The rational analysis of this music critic has won the support of the most people, with more than one million likes and reposts on Facebook, becoming a hot topic.

Also, the Voice World Championship official came out and said: The data of all the players is absolutely true. We have special personnel to cooperate with the platform to detect the data of ten players in real time. If anyone suspects that any player has falsified the data, please come up with Once the evidence is confirmed, if the evidence is true and it is confirmed to be true after passing our inspection, then we will directly disqualify the player from participating in the World Championship, and at the same time, we will punish the program production team of the player's competition area.

If there is no evidence to prove it, please don't talk nonsense, otherwise we will pursue the legal responsibility of the rumor maker!

The Voice official must stand up to protect Wang Qian's reputation.

Because Wang Qian's current attention is too high, and the data of his works are really good.

Even if the representatives of some regions in North America and Europe don't want to, they can't stop it.

In a sense, Wang Qian now represents most of the interests of the program group!

If Wang Qian's reputation is damaged, it also means that the reputation of the program group is damaged, and the subsequent losses will be even greater!

Therefore, they must stand up as soon as possible to defend Wang Qian's reputation with righteous words!

If Wang Qian is just the bottom player.

Well, if someone from the media now publicly slanders Wang Qian, the program team may not stand up and speak out when most European and American competition areas block it, but keep silent!

Now, in order to protect everyone's interests, no one can stop the program team from standing up to speak for Wang Qian!

so!

Not long after The Voice’s official statement was issued, those North American commentators who spread rumors worth hundreds of millions to slander Wang Qian from the media quickly deleted their previous statements, and then remained silent, as if nothing had happened.

Only some netizens are still dominated by their own discriminatory emotions, and they are still posting some nonsense rumors, but their voices cannot become the mainstream and cannot affect more public opinion, so they are ignored.

...

Christine received a call from her good friend, Garbo, early in the morning.

Garbo is a not very well-known young actor, because he has never accepted the unspoken rules and is unwilling to pay, so he is not well-known. He only plays some small roles in the TV circle and barely makes ends meet.

Even, in order to make a living, Garbo often plays a small role and works part-time in a restaurant at the same time!

I met Christine by chance. Christine liked and appreciated Garbo's drumming and acting skills very much, so they became friends with each other!

This time, Kristen came to Los Angeles.

Of course Jiabao wanted to entertain him, and he made contact last night.

but!

Call early in the morning, not just for hospitality questions!

Christine answered the phone: Garbo, what's the matter?

Garbo quickly said: Chris, you know, the song you recommended to me last night is really good, it is definitely the best rock song I have heard in the past ten years.

Christine: So, Garbo, didn't you watch TV last night? Didn't you know about The Voice last night?

Jiabao smiled and said, Chris, I'm not a big star, I'm not qualified to go to the scene. I have to work part-time to pay the rent. I worked overtime at a Chinese restaurant last night. This is for me to have a vacation tonight. The price is because I want to accompany you and treat you to dinner!

Christine: Well, sorry, Garbo, I don't know how busy you are.

Garbo: It's okay!

Christine: Look at The Voice's official rankings and Billboard rankings, and you'll know what's going on! He's creating miracles.

Garbo said casually: Okay, I will pay attention!

Christine moved her fingers, opened Facebook, and suddenly saw a message from the Curtis Institute of Music. She frowned and said to the phone: Garbo, I'm sorry! I may not have time to talk to you at night. You ate together.

Garbo: God, Chris, are you playing with me?

Christine: I'm sorry, I'm very sorry! How about I treat you and take you to Philadelphia, and I'll cover all your board and lodging expenses?

Jia Bao immediately refused: I don't want it! You invited me last time, so it's time for me to treat you this time. Since you have something important to do, go ahead and look for opportunities next time you come to Los Angeles!

Christine: I'm so sorry, Garbo! There's an open class at the Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia. I don't want to miss it. I have to get there ASAP!

Garbo smiled generously and said, Okay, you can go. Apart from acting, I also like music, but unfortunately I don't have time to go. Goodbye, Chris!

Christine still said apologetically: Okay, Garbo, I'm very sorry, goodbye! I'll call you as soon as I get back to Los Angeles!

Garbo smiled and said, That's for sure, Chris, goodbye!

hang up the phone!

Kristen stared blankly at the news from the Curtis Institute of Music on Facebook.

And the other side.

Jia Bao also quickly searched for the song Itsmylife on her mobile phone!

at the same time……

The official account of the Curtis Institute of Music announced a message on several major social platforms in North America, such as Facebook and Twitter, which made the already shocking European and American pop music world shake up again!

Our school invited Mr. Wang Qian from China to come to our school tomorrow for a music exchange...
