It took eight years to debut

James was still sleeping, and was awakened by the phone call, a little angry: "John, I remember you are in Huaxia District?"

John: "Yes, James..."

James interrupted John: "I'm in Los Angeles, and I'm still sleeping."

John: "I'm sorry, James, and I don't want to disturb your rest. However, I found a good seed on the Chinese stage. If we invest resources to promote and hype it, the future World Championships will definitely be more exciting."

John brought people to China, and his performance was linked to China.

He naturally wants to introduce a few players who are popular all over the world in China to create a higher degree of topicality, and then he can get more bonuses!

Moreover, this is the first World Championship.

Every competition area, as well as every member of the international operation team, is trying their best to make the Voice International Competition a success.

Therefore, each person in charge has worked extremely hard, and only if the first session is successful can the subsequent operations be better.

In the past, John would personally go to the scene of every episode of The Voice in Huaxia, and then personally supervise the editing, and then review the edited highlight clips of the contestants in person, and finally send them to North America.

pity……

After so many episodes, the players in Huaxia District received a mediocre response in the world, almost the competition area with the least attention.

James was also very concerned about the China Division before.

After all, now that the Huaxia region's economy is on the rise, coupled with its huge population, its consumption potential is bottomless, and it has a tendency to become the center of the entertainment industry.

Many European and American movies want to go to China to reap the box office. For this reason, many movies will specially compromise for Chinese fans, make movies that meet their tastes and requirements, and forcefully add some Chinese faces to attract Chinese audiences into the cinema to buy tickets!

This time, the same goes for Good Voice.

I also want to harvest audiences in China.

however……

I pushed a lot of Huaxia players, but none of them are internationally famous. This almost foreshadows the ending of the Huaxia players in the international competition. Then the Chinese audience will definitely not pay so much attention, and the income in the Huaxia region will not meet expectations. .

James was also helpless about this, and gradually gave up the China Division in his heart, and shifted his focus to several major divisions in North America and Europe. This is the home game.

After hearing John's words, James became even more annoyed: "John, your previous plans for the China Division have failed. I think we should recognize the reality. This time, the players in the China Division may not receive much attention internationally. Even the players from the island countries have more attention than the players from the China division."

The Voice has only three divisions in Asia, the China Division, the Island Country Division, and the Ah San Division.

Several contestants in the island country division sang classic English difficult songs, which attracted a lot of attention internationally, and now they have become the main contestants in the Asian region.

Moreover, the internationalization of the island country has always been relatively successful, so its players are more likely to be recognized by audiences from various countries.

Not to mention the Ah San competition area, which itself is a member of the Commonwealth of Nations. English is one of its mother tongues. It is very difficult to integrate into Europe and the United States. However, the repertoire sung by its players has only mediocre response, so it does not receive much international attention. .

In comparison, the rise of Huaxia is too short, and audiences from other countries still have some prejudice against it.

John hurriedly explained: "James, Wang Qian, the Huaxia player I recommended to you last time, remember?"

James said in a bad tone: "I remember that an older player likes to sing his own original Chinese songs. There are two rock songs that are really good. But they are just good. People don't care what his Chinese rock songs are about."

On the official YouTube account of Good Voice, Wang Qian’s several performance videos have a total of less than [-] hits. There is a difference of several grades in the number of million hits.

Among the clips of wonderful performances of players from various countries broadcast on North American TV stations, Wang Qian's time to leave the country is also the shortest, only five seconds, almost a flash, it is simply the time when the name appears and the singing on the stage is embarrassing. five-second video of .

After the Huaxia players were not taken seriously internationally, James invested a lot of resources in the most concerned players in other competition areas, and began to hype how these players would collide in the international competition after winning the championship of their respective competition areas. Motivate viewers to...

Chinese players?

Let it run its course.

Therefore, this time John called and seemed to want to promote resources to the China Division, James was dissatisfied.

After pushing it a few times, I still can’t push it up, and I still need resources?

John quickly said: "Mr. James, Wang Qian created an English rock song this time. Do you still remember that the Bingguo team sold a rock single they created to a Chinese singer?"

James froze for a moment, and the drowsiness gradually dissipated.

The Bingguo team is Southern Entertainment's top international creative team for Lin Gang's military songs. They are good at creating rock and electronic music and have been nominated for Grammy.

As the chief producer of the music program, James naturally paid attention to this matter.

Because, the Bingguo team sold the song to a Chinese singer.

This is the first time among the top music creation teams in Europe and America!

Basically, the top music creation teams in Europe and the United States will not cooperate with Chinese singers, because the cultural gap between the two parties is natural. If they sing their songs to Chinese singers, they will definitely not be popular internationally, let alone get high rankings and Nominations for awards will not improve their team's reputation and heritage, and will affect their future money, and future works will not be able to sell at high prices.

Therefore, no matter how high the price you Huaxia singers offer, they are unlikely to sell it. This is related to their reputation and career.

unless……

Their songs really can't be sold. In the spirit of recycling waste, they will sell them to Chinese singers to make a fortune.

However, the song created by the Bingguo team is not unsalable, but after getting in touch with the rock band they have worked with before, it does not meet the requirements of the other party, and after several other rock singers joined, the price is not high enough. .

In the end, the Bingguo team sold the work to Huaxia Entertainment, the highest bidder.

This has also attracted a lot of attention in the European and American music circles!

Everyone wants to know what achievements Huaxia singers will have in singing the songs of the Bingguo Band, and what impact it will have on the Bingguo team.

James also paid attention to it at the time, but then he didn't care. He was too busy to pay attention to these.

just now……

Heard John talk about it.

James immediately asked, "Wang Qian bought Binguo's song?"

John corrected: "Mr. James, what I'm talking about is that Wang Qian created an English rock song. He didn't buy it, but the effect is similar. His opponent bought it. His opponent spent a lot of money and wanted to eliminate Wang Qian. , purchased Bingguo’s song and invited the Los Angeles Splash Band to accompany it, but it still failed.”

"Wang Qian also created an English rock song, and it's better than Bingguo's! I've listened to it live, and I'm still in shock. So I called Mr. James right away. I think Wang Qian This time will definitely attract international attention."

"He is an unparalleled genius! Among all the contestants in this year, he has the most amazing creative talent."

The contestants in other competition areas are not mainly original, they are still the same as before, they mainly sing classic old songs, and at most make some adaptations on the basis of classic old songs to adapt to the current pop music form, which attracts a lot of people Audience, big hit.

Occasionally, a few contestants who sang original songs have been eliminated, which makes other contestants even more afraid to sing original and new songs.

and so!

Under the leadership of Wang Qian, the Huaxia competition area has embarked on the path of originality. Many contestants focus on originality, and they can always eliminate their opponents to win. They are the only ones in the top ten competition areas of The Voice in the world.

But James didn't like it.

Because, it's just that the China Division is the one with the lowest international attention among the top ten divisions.

Calculate it by exclusion.

Only the repertoires sung by the contestants in the Huaxia Division are mainly original. Perhaps this is one of the reasons?

International audiences don't like originals?Especially original Chinese songs?

James didn't have time to do careful research, so he could only temporarily withhold resources from the Huaxia Division, so as not to waste resources, and divert resources to the few players in the fire.

However, John said that Wang Qian's original English rock songs beat Bingguo's rock songs.

It still surprised James a little, and also became interested!

"Was it defeated head-on?"

James asked.

John immediately replied: "Of course, I watched their performance at the scene. You can hear the crushing in all aspects. I just asked them to make a rough cut of a video, and I have sent it to your mailbox. You can take a look at it now. I think it will be of great help to us in promoting the China Division."

James started to get up, picked up his phone and checked his mailbox, and saw that there was indeed an unread email, and said immediately, "Okay, I'll check it out right away, and I'll reply to you later."

John: "Good!"

hang up the phone!

John went to chat with Zhou Qinghua for a while, waiting for James' reply.

James clicked on the performance video in the email and watched it.

In fact, this video does not have too many edits, it just cut out Lin Gangjun's performance and Wang Qian's singing of the Phoenix tonight.

James jumped directly to Wang Qian's performance, and when he heard the prelude to the battlefield at the beginning, he lost all sleepiness in an instant.

With the beginning of Wang Qian's singing.

James seems to have returned to his fascination with rock music when he was young, as if he has returned to the mood of listening to those classic songs in the heyday of rock music two or three or 40 years ago.

At that time, many of the world's top bands collided and fought, and various rock classics emerged one after another.

Most of the classic rock songs that many people recall now were produced in that era.

In recent years, rock music has declined and electro-pop has taken over.

James, like many other musicians, believes that the era of rock and roll is over.

but……

Listen to the Phoenix.

The rock gene deep in James' heart seemed to be activated.

It was already late at night, and in his pajamas, he danced excitedly in the bedroom.

This song is so exciting.

After listening to Wang Qian's song, he listened to Lin Gangjun's singing again, and found that the two songs were indeed not on the same level.

The song sung by Lin Gangjun from the Bingguo team is indeed a good song. If it works well, it also has the value of excavation. If it is sung for a famous band, investing resources in publicity may make it to the top ten of the bulletin board, but with Wang Qian Compared with the song the Phoenix, it seems very ordinary.

Moreover, Lin Gangjun's singing ability and stage performance are at least one level behind Wang Qian's.

Bingguo didn't deserve to lose!

Ten minutes passed.

James' face was still a little flushed, and he went to the bathroom to wash his face with cold water several times to calm himself down.

he knows……

The opportunity in the China Division has indeed come.

This English rock song will definitely create waves internationally.

Specifically, it can set off a small wave, or a stormy sea.

It is unknown.

Still, James determined, it was worth devoting resources to getting the word out.

Picking up the phone, James returned to John: "John, I have adopted your opinion. I will hold a meeting tomorrow to discuss this matter with everyone. I will try my best to promote it."

John said excitedly: "Okay, James, I'm looking forward to it."

There was not too much chatting, the work was confirmed, and the two hung up the phone.

……

this night!

The Huaxia music scene was once again in turmoil.

The popularity of Wang Qian's English rock song, and the download data of Lin Gangjun's English rock song on Tengfei are also extremely good.

Coupled with Wang Qian's previous two rock songs, Shame on the Land and The Earth, the download data is extremely against the sky.

There are also Wang Qian's opponents, Guo Xiao and Yang Yilong's rock songs are also very popular, and the data in Soaring is also very good!

It seems that everyone's attention to rock has suddenly increased a lot.

Let many people speculate whether this indicates that...

A new era of Chinese rock is coming?

A well-known music critic posted a message on Weibo: "I have a hunch that under the leadership of Professor Wang of the Voice, there may be a large number of rock songs in the Chinese music scene in the next period of time. If Professor Wang finally wins the Voice of China Champion, then the revival of Chinese rock is no longer just a slogan, it may be just around the corner.”

……

A well-known music producer also posted a message on Weibo: "Tell me an industry news. Recently, the quality of new songs that appeared on several major music platforms has risen to a higher level, and the download data has also increased to varying degrees. All of this is This year's Good Voice contestant Wang Qian, because of his appearance, stimulated major companies to spend a lot of money to buy high-quality new songs, and now they are starting to appear on the market. The collection has begun to increase, and rock music creators have changed from the cold reception before to the creators that major entertainment companies are vying for."

"It is foreseeable that after a while, a large number of rock songs will appear on various platforms! Fans who like rock songs are blessed."

……

A famous singer said directly: "After listening to Professor Wang's The Phoenix, I also have the urge to write rock songs. I will try my next album, and please support me when the time comes."
