Rebirth of the music superstar

"Have you heard that Ye Xiaoze is going to make his solo debut?" The person who spoke was Zhou Ping, the drummer who was the band member Gangzi wanted to bump into.

"Well, he told me a long time ago that he would try to write songs again, but unexpectedly, he was spotted by the higher-ups." Zhang Xuan took a sip of wine and said, "But he took a new stage name, Ye Ze .”

The two were drinking at a bar near the company.

"It sounds louder than Ye Xiaoze." Zhou Ping nodded, and then leaned into Zhang Xuan's ear and said, "He's a guitar player, you haven't soloed before, but he took the lead, so you have no idea ?”

"What ideas can I have?" Zhang Xuan spread his hands, "You know me, I'm not thinking about singing anymore, and he's not good at acting, so he can't just do nothing, right?"

"By the way, I haven't heard him sing before, have you?"

Zhang Xuan shook his head.

"I think he's probably going to pounce. If he could really sing, he wouldn't agree to be a guitarist in the band." Zhou Ping was very disapproving of Ye Ze's solo, "As far as his previous songwriting level is concerned, tsk, MIKE is not a bad brain Right, isn’t this throwing money into the water?”

"Okay, don't say a few words." Zhang Xuan frowned, "If it weren't for the matter between you and Gangzi, would he have been hospitalized for so long? He almost died."

"It's none of my business. It's Gangzi who is mentally ill, okay? If it weren't for my fate!" Zhou Ping became angry when he thought of it, "You should also be angry, you were in the car at that time! Ye Xiaoze That's bad luck, and it has nothing to do with me."

Zhang Xuan got a headache when he heard it, and finally went out to have a drink, and listened to his colleagues convey negative emotions, he was really tired.

……

Ye Ze's audition in the recording studio went very smoothly. MIKE decided on a date for him to make an official recording. He chose three songs. The first single only includes two of them, and the other one is a backup, just in case.

Before the official recording, MIKE found a special vocal teacher for Ye Ze. Ye Ze’s congenital condition is very good, but he still lacks a little skill. Life is long, Ye Ze is very grateful to MIKE, he has indeed learned a lot from professional teachers.

After recording the sound, MIKE set a release date for the single, which is June 6th, and there are still two months left, which are used for MV shooting and publicity.

So Ye Ze started to get busy. Although he has played in the band for three years, he is really a new face to everyone. He is not famous, with heavy makeup, and he knows what he looks like. number, so the popularity can be said to be almost zero.

Everything had to be started from the beginning, Ye Ze was so busy that he was dizzy. After recording, he discovered that singers had so many things to do, not just singing.

The first thing to clean up is the appearance. Ye Ze's appearance is good, but he still lacks a bit of star flavor. He looks like an ordinary college student without makeup. If you post a photo on the Internet, people will probably say that this is a school grass, but you can't. That's all.

Singers always have to pretend more or less. MIKE positioned Ye Ze as an intellectual singer-songwriter. On the contrary, he didn’t make much fuss about his appearance. In terms of temperament, MIKE hoped that Ye Ze could look a little deeper, so Ye Ze In addition to making announcements recently, Ze has to pose in front of the mirror every night at home.

Then there is the MV, cover and poster shooting, which are all used for publicity and must be completed one month in advance.

The cover and poster are fine, after all, they are hard photos. As long as the PS technology is good, it still looks quite tall, and the MV can’t be helped. MIKE also wants to take a good shot of Ye Ze, but the company really can’t spend much money. .

In the end, the MV was completed in an indoor recording studio. The three shots were interleaved and cut, which is still so-so, and Ye Ze is not too picky. Anyway, he doesn’t need a fancy MV for this route.

After all this is over, there will be intensive publicity. The star color resources are limited, and Ye Ze is a newcomer. He will definitely not be able to go to the prime-time music programs. He can only go to small programs that are not well-known, such as late-night radio or something. Yes, there are also variety shows that can be advertised with a sense of presence, but Ye Ze refused. He told his agent that he would definitely not appear on shows that have nothing to do with music.Then there are open-air fan clubs, parks, schools, and small theaters. Apart from these, the most publicized is the Internet.

There are very few publicity channels, and the coverage rate is also very low. Many radio stations and music websites have not done enough publicity. The most important thing is the lack of funds, but MIKE is still very confident. He said this to Ye Ze: "You will be popular, I trust my eyes!"

When the publicity officially started, Ye Ze felt the real gap. He remembered that when Lu Nan first debuted, he was bombarded by all kinds of publicity in turn, such as TV commercials, prime-time music programs, street commercials, radio stations, the Internet, etc., etc. Even fan clubs are held in the busiest areas, and they are held exclusively.

As for me, I don't need to think about TV commercials and music programs, it's not my turn at all, and the other publicity levels are also worse than Lu Nan's, not at 01:30.

On the night before the first fan meeting, Ye Ze tried to calm himself down. He told himself not to be too entangled, and comparisons are useless. His company is only capable at this point. It will affect tomorrow's live performance, and in the long run, maybe the creative inspiration will be worn away.

Ye Ze's first fan club was at a university in City A. There were six groups of singers participating together. Ye Ze was a newcomer, and the organizer arranged for him to lead the group. The next few groups were all slightly famous. Yes, there were quite a few fans standing and cheering among the crowd at the scene, and many of them shouted their idol's name loudly, Ye Ze felt slightly embarrassed.

After the host said some scenes, he began to announce the name of the first singer to sing.

"Let us welcome today's first singer - Ye Ze, with warm applause."

The publicity on the radio and the Internet has just started, and almost no one knows Ye Ze, so the applause from below is also sparse.

Ye Ze took a deep breath and walked onto the stage with the microphone in hand. The moment he appeared, the female students in front were excited. He is a handsome guy, not bad.

"Everyone, don't think that Ye Ze is a handsome guy and think he is a vase. He is a good singer and composer. Well, I don't really know. That's what is written on my prompt card." The host spoke quite well. Playful, there was a burst of music below, and the atmosphere immediately heated up.

"Whether it's the mule or the horse that's out for a walk, we'll know right away, and I'll let Ye Ze present his new single—if."

The scene immediately fell silent. Ye Ze held the microphone with a calm face, without a smile, and only nodded slightly to everyone.

The prelude is the melodious piano sound, and then Ye Ze's clear and delicate voice drifts out: If one day

you don't love me anymore

please tell me

I will stop pestering

If one day

you are tired of me

please tell me

i will leave

but please believe

I was always here

waiting for you here

So

if you are lonely

please tell me

if you are sad

please tell me

i never will

asking too much

when you need me

Whether it's pain or sadness

I want to share with you

because

you are my love

……

When Ye Ze sang, there was no sound from below, and when the music ended, there was thunderous applause from below.

This is a love song about a man's humble view of love, but this kind of lyrics will touch a woman's heart very much.

But in fact, most of the people below are not applauding for the lyrics. After listening to it for the first time, there are no subtitles, and it is in the open air, so it is difficult to feel the artistic conception of the lyrics.

They applauded because Ye Ze sang really well.

The "if" at the beginning of the tune is very high and catches people's ears very much. In the whole piece, only the line "I never know how to ask for too much" is low-pitched, and it suddenly turns down. Professional, but you can also hear the skills in it. It is easy to turn the bass to the treble, but it is very difficult to suddenly turn the treble to the bass. It’s hard to put it up, but it’s very difficult to get it down. Many singers use real and false voices to convert, but there are very few who can handle it without any trace.

Ye Ze handled it very well here, with perfect breath and technique, and the whole song is very smooth, and as far as male singers are concerned, Ye Ze's voice is rare, clear and distinctive, and it is unforgettable once you hear it.

Another reason is the song itself. Regardless of the lyrics, the melody of this song is very catchy. At the end, everyone has the desire to listen to it again. Many people can even hum the melody of the chorus after listening to it.

Many people in the audience shouted 'one more, one more', this newcomer named Ye Ze sang really well, what did you just say, the singing and writing are excellent?In this way, he wrote the song himself, and the host really wasn't bluffing!

Ye Ze secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and nodded and smiled to everyone. Today's test was successfully passed.He didn't smile when he sang just now because of the song. The tone of this song is slightly sad. When he smiled, it didn't match the atmosphere of the song.

The host came on stage with a smile on his face: "Well, I didn't lie to you, our Ye Ze is really good!" Then he winked at Ye Ze and said, "I think I have become your fan, I will step down later. Can I ask you for an autograph?"

The audience laughed together.

"Ye Ze's new single will be released on June 6. If you like it, please go to the record store to buy it." The host advertised for Ye Ze.

"Oh!" There was a burst of cheers from below.

"..." The expressions of the other five groups of singers waiting in the background were cracked.

Fuck!Which newcomer is this? It's so cruel!

Why are you the first one to sing so well, so how can we live behind us on stage? !

……

Apart from the fan club, the word-of-mouth of other promotions are also quite good. Although the coverage rate is low, the effect is not bad. There are already many people talking about "what if" on the Internet, because the melody is really catchy and brainwashing.

In this way, fan clubs, radio stations, and online promotion, it didn't take long before the single was released a week ago.

On June 6rd, 'If' appeared on the download list.
