I didn't want to be an actor

Chapter 100 Self-Degradation (22)

When it comes to music, Shen Liang is still very good!
On the “Hot Songs Chart” of QQ Music, two major domestic music platforms, “Flowers on the Road” remained at the top for two weeks after its release;

On the NetEase Cloud Music Hot Songs Chart, "Flowering Along the Way" also performed well, topping the chart for three consecutive weeks...

Week 4…Xue Zhiqian’s album “Du” was released, including “Animal World” and “Ambiguous”, with “Ambiguous” landing at the top of NetEase Cloud’s Hot Songs Chart…

As for QQ Music…it’s about the same!
Xue Zhiqian is awesome, especially in 2017.

Original time and space, topped the QQ Music 2017 Chinese singers cumulative playback rankings.

Behind him were Zhou Jielun, JJ Lin, and Eason Chan;

The same is true for Kugou Music, which ranks TOP1 in terms of playback volume, download volume, and hot search volume;

Including NetEase Cloud Music, the top 50 hottest new songs in the second half of the year, "Ambiguous" ranked first, "Animal World" ranked third, and "I'm Afraid" ranked fourth, all of which are from the new album "Crossing"...

Many people call him, Xu Shangao, Li Ronghao and Hua Chenyu the four kings of domestic entertainment...

Then, Hua Chenyu's fans said, "Even if they were tied together, they wouldn't be enough to beat my brother!"

I'm getting off topic. As soon as "Seaweed Dance" was released, it immediately topped the charts...

At the same time, Tik Tok also began to promote the "Seaweed Dance"...

In fact, as a short video platform with very strong music attributes, Douyin can be called a hit music manufacturing machine.

However, it has always had pain points in music copyright, which has become an obstacle to its development as it continues to grow.

Previously, Douyin had copyright disputes with QQ Music due to its lack of attention to music copyright issues. Many songs that were once popular had to say goodbye to Douyin due to copyright issues.

"Seaweed Dance" is a little different. Douyin obtained the authorization from the very beginning.

what?
Will QQ Music have any objections?
Or does anyone have any opinions on Tencent Weishi short video?

Haha, not only Douyin, but also Kuaishou, Bilibili, and Tencent Weishi can use "Seaweed Dance" for free...

Promotion across all platforms...

That’s what I mean!
Then… the traffic was huge, and of course, the criticism that came with it was even more overwhelming…

'Self-degrading, vulgar, earthy, kitsch and disgusting...'

These are relatively kind statements.
There are also music-based analyses: assembly-line songs made up of fixed melodies; catchy songs…

The comments that Shen Liang found most amusing were: "The level of Jiangnan Leather Factory", "There is a feeling of 'we are different'", and "Are you serious about this word?"

lyrics?

'The strongest drink I've ever had

I've also dated the most arrogant girl
As casual as a wanderer
And I'm serious like a fool'

Drinking the strongest alcohol should be followed by the wildest dog, driving the fastest car, and staying in the best hospital...
What a talent!
Shen Liang couldn't help laughing.

I simply posted a Weibo post: "In fact, I wrote the song "Seaweed Dance" very seriously, especially the lyrics. It may seem like a casual account, but behind the song is the determination of the rustic youth who are unwilling to accept the tide of the times. They use the forward-looking ideas of deconstructionist postmodern materialization to criticize the helplessness of life and express their feelings directly with the image of seaweed!"

"We are really like a seaweed, drifting with the times and the wind. We don't know where this wind comes from... Forget it, I'm afraid you won't understand if I say too much. Anyway, just sing "Seaweed, Seaweed Dancing in the Waves"."

"Ahem, the above is promotional. Actually, 'Seaweed Dance' is a hit song I composed. Everyone knows that I am filming 'The Wandering Earth'. According to the plot, a hit song will be used in it. The director wanted to use 'Learn to Meow'. I was very angry. I am just a singer, and you didn't even use my song? Then the director said... my song is not popular enough!"

“That’s how the Seaweed Dance came about.”

“Also, please don’t criticize “Seaweed Dance” for being too tacky or vulgar. This song was created for entertainment… Not every song needs to be musical. You can perform it at annual meetings or gatherings… Just for fun, dance along to the music…”

"Compared to poetry, Seaweed Dance is a doggerel. It meets the number of words in poetry or a certain tune, but it is a bit unnecessary to say whether it is Reminiscence of Jiangnan or Ru Meng Ling..." "I like it very much anyway, and I hope you will like it too!"

……

"Hey, why did you come to the airport to pick me up today?"

In Changsha, Shen Liang saw Yang Di just after getting off the plane...

Normally, Shen Liang would go to Changsha to visit him!

Yang Di looked behind Shen Liang and didn't see anyone following him. He was a little disappointed: "...Didn't they say Uncle Da was coming too?"

"Uncle Da is filming 'New Shaolin Temple' in Hengdian!"

"New Shaolin Temple? Just a rehash of the past?"

"Last year, the box office of "A Chinese Odyssey: Part Three" was close to 3 million yuan, and "Abbot's Courtyard" itself is a classic comedy, so it's normal to rehash something old!"

"No...I mean Uncle Da is not coming this episode?"

"Come on, he sent me a message saying he'll be there around 6pm..."

Yang Di nodded, then asked quietly: "How is Uncle Da's Mandarin? Can you understand what we are saying?"

Shen Liang told the truth: "...It's probably going to be very difficult!"

Even Zhang Yu and Guo Xuefu couldn’t understand what the guests were saying when recording “Mars”...let alone Wu Mengda!

After all, Uncle Tat is from Hong Kong, so he can handle interviews. After all, interviews are one-on-one, but "Mars" is not like that, which requires guests to keep throwing and picking up jokes...

"So... can you adapt to Mars?"

Shen Liang was very calm: "…It's okay, he has eaten more salt than we have eaten rice, just telling a few stories will be enough!"

“…By the way, your “Seaweed Dance” will soon become very popular!”

“But there are also quite a lot of people who curse.”

Yang Di: "You are talking about music critics. They are nothing. Whose songs have they not criticized?"

"That's not the case. Some of the opinions are very pertinent..."

"You watch yours go in?"

"Of course, I have to look inside," Shen Liang nodded, "You have to know that I am surrounded by too many compliments and praises...

People around me lick my ass, people in the circle praise me, and fans praise me. In this perverted environment, what will I become? I will not be able to accept any criticism!
When sharp criticism disappears completely, mild criticism will become harsh; when mild criticism disappears, silence will be considered malicious; if silence is no longer allowed, not praising hard enough will become a crime.

Shen Liang was really worried that he would become like Wang Linkai - appear on variety shows to get by, then get compliments from colleagues, and be criticized by fans for being too good, and then just wait and get a lot of appearance fees...

It’s really a lot!

Huawei’s genius program only offers an annual salary of 200 million, which is probably about the same as the appearance fee for one period.

Then, suddenly someone jumps out and says that your attitude is wrong and you don’t take music seriously.

I will definitely reply with "What's it to you?"
Ahem...

Shen Liang changed the subject: "Who did Brother Di invite? Da Zuo?"

Yang Di and Da Zuo partnered up for "Informal Talks", that show was also quite interesting...
