Rebirth of the music superstar

Lu Nan can be said to be the most popular male singer in the music scene today. His appearance is tall, rich and handsome, and he takes a creative route, with full lyrics and music. Although his singing skills are not top-notch, his talents can overshadow everything. I don't know how many people's hearts were touched.

On last year's single sales list, Lu Nan had three singles that entered the top ten, ranking second, third and fourth respectively, each of which exceeded 50 copies. No.1 is Pei Yixin, the queen of music, with 85W sheets.

Lu Nan is also No.2 on the album list, but the sales are very impressive, 160W+, only 1W less than the No.20 singer Lu Ying.

"No. 2 No. 2! Both lists are No. 2! There is almost no place for me in the news!" Lu Nan looked at the news in the newspaper and got angry in the company's exclusive lounge. At the end of the year, The announcement of the annual list of the Cigna List came out, and it was the headline of today's entertainment edition.

Cigna is the most authoritative sales list in China. It not only counts the sales of albums, but also the sales of DVDs, music downloads, books and games. However, the two lists that people pay most attention to are singles and albums. These two lists are also the most detailed. The daily list, weekly list, monthly list, and annual list are accurate to single digits. The only criterion for ranking is sales.

"Don't be angry, don't be angry, everyone has already known the ranking, what's wrong with No.2, it's a big blow to everyone else!" Lu Nan's assistant Xiao Qi poured Lu Nan a glass of water to calm him down Calm down.The list is announced every day, and the ending was predicted a month ago. It is impossible to reverse such a big gap. Xiaoqi doesn't understand why Lu Nan is only angry now.

"Of course I know that!" Lu Nan slapped the table and said angrily, "But why is there almost no sign of me in the news? After all, my album has passed one million, right? I just mentioned that I am No.2, and then there is no more , Is there such a news release!"

At this time, Guo Peiwen came in from the outside, and when he saw Lu Nan getting angry, he smiled and said, "What's the matter, who made our big star angry?" Guo Peiwen is Lu Nan's producer and the director of the record company.

"Look for yourself!" Lu Nan angrily threw the newspaper to Guo Peiwen.

Guo Peiwen glanced at it and smiled and said: "I still think it's something, isn't it just news, there are so many media in the country, let's find another one to write about it, your grades are real, Are you afraid that others will not know? This year is just a little bit of luck."

Lu Nan’s luck is indeed a little bit bad. According to the charts of previous years, the single 50W+ should be able to win the first place, let alone the album. There has been no million-dollar album for three or four years. In this digital age, physical Records are really hard to sell, and everyone prefers downloads.

This year's No.1 single Pei Yixin's "Cold War" happens to be the theme song of the TV series of the same name. The TV series is super popular, and the song is also a big seller. Moreover, this single is released at a good time. It was released at the beginning of the year and sold for a year , No. 1 in the annual list of downloads is also this song, and the download volume of the whole song exceeds 700W, not to mention the ring tone.

And No.1 Lu Ying on the album list released a selection, 'BEST1994-2013', which included all of Lu Ying's hit singles in the past 20 years since his debut. , and the price is not very expensive, it is a bit more cost-effective than downloading each song, so the sales volume is so high. It was released in the middle of the year, and the annual list has 182W. The industry predicts that the cumulative total should exceed 200W.

So Lu Nan was really just unlucky. Last year, he was the double champion.

"Oh, look at the bottom of the news, it's not that bad, music DVD No.1 is you." Guo Peiwen pointed to the bottom line of the news for Lu Nan to read.

Lu Nan rolled his eyes at Guo Peiwen: "What's so interesting, everyone is weak on DVDs, and my No.1 is not very rich, okay, it's only 20W, tsk!" (Music DVDs here generally refer to concert DVDs)

Guo Peiwen shrugged, but it is true. Music DVDs are too weak in the DVD rankings. The top ten DVDs are all movies, and 20W is not even one-tenth of No.1.

"Go out." Lu Nan suddenly said to Xiaoqi.

"Oh." Xiaoqi was very sensible, immediately put down her work and went out, and closed the door by the way, she knew that Lu Nan had something to say to Guo Peiwen.

"Did he write the lyrics?" As soon as Xiaoqi walked, Nan walked over and locked the door, and then began to talk to Guo Peiwen in peace.

Guo Peiwen lit a cigarette and blew out a smoke ring before shaking his head and saying, "Not yet."

"Not yet?!" Lu Nan was a little mad, and his voice was sharp, "It's been more than a month, what the hell is he doing!"

"Give him some more time." Guo Peiwen walked to the sofa and sat down, "As you know, the songs he usually writes are all tailored for you. This time, is he going to write for a movie or sing for a female singer?" Yes, it must conform to the artistic conception of the movie, it is inevitable that he cannot find his way of thinking for a while, he needs to adjust and adjust, don’t worry, I will urge him.”

Lu Nan has debuted for five or six years. Although he takes the creative route, he only "writes" songs for himself. When he was on a show with a female singer, the female singer joked that she hoped that Lu Nan could write a song for herself. Nan was hotheaded at the time, and agreed with his cheap mouth, and then the other party took it seriously.A month ago, the female singer's manager really contacted him, saying that the female singer would guest star in a movie, and hoped that Lu Nan could write a theme song for her to sing.

"That's the only way..." Lu Nan sat next to Guo Peiwen and sighed, "He listens to you the most, so keep an eye on him."

"What's the matter, are you jealous?" Guo Peiwen touched Lu Nan's thigh, "Don't worry, you are the only one in my heart."

"Cut! Who would be jealous of him! With his broken body, can he still sleep with you?" Lu Nan disapproved of the person Guo Peiwen was talking about.

"Hahaha." Guo Peiwen laughed out loud, "You!" He tapped Lu Nan's nose.

Guo Peiwen extinguished the half-smoked cigarette, and then rolled into a ball with Lu Nan on the sofa.

That's right, Lu Nan doesn't know how to write songs at all. Although he has attended a music school for two years, he has no talent in composition. All his works are written by gunmen, and he doesn't even know how to play musical instruments. There will be a few piano pieces that I have practiced for a long time.

The gunman who wrote the song for Lu Nan was called Ye Ze.

Why is Ye Ze willing to be a shooter?That's a long story...

Ye Ze has been very talented in music since he was a child. His dream is to be a singer, but he is unable to stand on stage to sing because of congenital heart disease. His heart cannot support such a large lung capacity exercise.

After graduating from the Royal Academy of Music, Ye Ze returned to China. His family was wealthy, he had no worries about food and drink, and there were servants to take care of him. However, his parents died early, and besides him, there was only one person ten years younger than him. Ye Xiao, who is many years old.

Although he can't sing, he can write, and singing to others is the same. His own works can be recorded into records, and he feels satisfied when he thinks about it.So Ye Ze submitted a music contribution to the record company, and he chose Vux, the company Guo Peiwen works for.

Guo Peiwen was not a director at that time. He was the illegitimate son of Guo Tong, the chairman of Vux, and his position in the company was not high.Guo Tong had many sons, including six or seven illegitimate sons, and four or five of his wives, so more than a dozen people fought fiercely for the right to inherit.

Guo Tong wanted to retire when he got older, and then he made a decision to ask his sons to find newcomers, whoever had the most popular singer would have a chance to inherit his position, and this kind of competition was very important to him. The development of the company is also very beneficial.

Guo Peiwen has always wanted to climb up, but he has been suffering from not being able to find opportunities. Guo Tong's decision made him see hope.

So Ye Ze's manuscript came into Guo Peiwen's hands, and he found this pearl in a pile of submissions, and he was immediately shocked!Guo Peiwen contacted Ye Ze to meet on the same day, and he was even more satisfied as soon as they met.Ye Ze looks good, he is the most popular niche type nowadays, and he is so talented, as long as he is promoted, it is hard to be unreasonable!He seemed to see his father's position beckoning to him.

But as soon as Guo Peiwen talked, he was poured cold water. Ye Ze couldn't sing, he could only write, which was useless to Guo Peiwen!

Why do you say it is useless.

First, Ye Ze’s song was voted for Vux. Naturally, Vux bought it out, and then sang it for Vux’s singer. Even if the credit is not on my own head, how can I do it!

Second, if it wasn't a singer-songwriter, Guo Peiwen really didn't have the confidence to win over the sons of the married couple. There is still a difference in treatment between legitimate children and illegitimate children, and the resources that the company can provide are very different.

Thirdly, this is a little selfishness of Guo Peiwen, he has a big heart, he feels that he either does not do it, or if he does, he must do the best, and he must win a superstar with excellent singing and writing skills!

But disappointment is disappointment, Guo Peiwen still smiled and encouraged a few words, and gave Ye Ze his own contact information, even if he can't use this person for the time being, he might one day need it, in short, hold on first, can't Let competitors discover this treasure.

Ye Ze didn't have any intentions, he only thought that he couldn't write well, and humbly said that he would continue to work hard and definitely write a song that Guo Peiwen would approve of.

The two of them didn't contact each other for the next month. Ye Ze concentrated on writing music at home, while Guo Peiwen was looking for seedlings everywhere.

Then he met Lu Nan.
