The King of Soft Rice in Chinese Entertainment

Chapter 476 Ancient Style Package
It's not surprising that Jing Tian chose the second option; Xu Jiuyang was certain she would do so, which is why he gave her these two choices.

As for why, it's simple: I'm going to give Fan Bingbing the ancient-style album that I originally prepared for her.

When Fan Bingbing asked someone to write a song, that person included "Exploring Old Friends" in the song, intending to test the current music market's acceptance of traditional Chinese style music.

In the end, the song was returned because the style didn't match. So Xu Jiuyang decided that if she asked him to write a song again, he would either refuse or make a traditional Chinese style album.

Who knew that Fan Bingbing would never ask him to write songs again, and the idea was quickly forgotten.

Now, Da Tian Tian suddenly asked him to help write a song. Considering that she, like Fan Bingbing, had no idea how to sing, Xu Jiuyang brought out that ancient style song again.

It's very simple. Besides "Exploring Old Friends," there are also well-known online songs from the Web 3.0 era such as "Spring Snow in the Courtyard," "Mandarin Ducks Playing," and "Crossing the Night in the Wind."

These ancient-style songs have become popular again in the Web3.0 era, not because they are particularly good—of course, the quality is still excellent—but because netizens, who love a good spectacle, have added rhythm to the songs with DJ sets and paired them with suitable storylines.

For example, "Spring Snow" is paired with Yong Lao Si's ascension to the throne; "Mandarin Duck Play" is paired with Qi Tongwei's promotion; and "Crossing the Night in the Wind" is paired with the Young Marshal's departure to the army, etc.

The most impressive one is "Exploring the Past," which is directly paired with the teacher's memoirs. But you have to admit that the edited footage does match the lyrics very well.

In short, these songs not only reinforced their impression through DJ versions, but also created catchy phrases like "XX's little tune" through those edited clips, which led to their widespread dissemination and thus gave them great vitality.

Although Jing Tian's songs at the banquet were alright, they were only alright. If she practiced for two or three years, she could probably compete with ordinary idol singers. But given her personality, Xu Jiuyang would probably only practice sporadically.

In her past life, she herself admitted in an interview that she was actually very lazy in private and would only move when prodded.

Although this was largely self-deprecating, since Da Tian Tian does a very good job in terms of body management, Xu Jiu Yang didn't want to supervise her.

In addition, with the widespread use of ringtones, the characteristics of widely circulated music have become significantly different from before. If a song cannot immediately grab the listener's attention or leave a lasting impression, it will be difficult for it to become popular. If it cannot become popular, it will not gain popularity, and if it cannot gain popularity, the singer will not become famous.

After the millennium, as time went by, the most widely circulated songs became "Mice Love Rice," "The Pig Song," and "Two Butterflies," with only Phoenix Legend still having some artistic merit.

Even though creators like Zhou Panghuan, Lin Junjie, Wang Lihong, and Tao Ze are still popular after releasing songs, it's because of their existing fame. If they debuted 10 years ago, they would still be famous, but they definitely wouldn't be as popular as before.

It's similar to the decline of movies and television. As there are more and more forms of entertainment, the popularity becomes more and more dispersed, and it becomes very difficult to create something that is popular with thousands of people.

In conclusion, the ancient style package is more suitable for Da Tiantian. Anyway, she doesn't need to have a great singing voice. After the right TV series comes out, she can be paired with the corresponding visuals and promoted. The focus should be on who the original singer is, which will naturally allow her name to be passed down for a long time.

"Even so, you'll need at least a year to practice your singing properly. Remember to find a professional teacher. I won't push you too hard, but if your singing doesn't satisfy me, I'll have to drag out the album." Xu Jiuyang said to Jing Tian as he left.

"I will definitely practice hard!" Da Tiantian clenched her fist and pulled down forcefully.

Seeing her lively demeanor, Xu Jiuyang really wanted to pat her head, but seeing Butler Lu beside him, he gave up the idea and got into the car with Zhang Yan and left.

Okay, at least for a year, I won't be bothered by her too much.

Xu Jiuyang didn't dislike Da Tiantian, but he didn't want her to get in touch with Fan Bingbing and the others too early. After all, the latter's plans were so shrewd that he could hear them back in his hometown.

There's no doubt that Fan Bingbing can do it; just look at how devoted Yin Tao and the others are to her now, and her two secretaries, Shuang Qin, are exceptionally obedient. However, Xu Jiuyang is still worried that she might go too far. After all, she has learned her lesson. Even though Angela is there to back her up in this life, she still managed to escape in her previous life, only to be blacklisted and unable to act or continue building her fame.

"Forget it, let's take it one step at a time. If it really doesn't work out..." he muttered as he drove, then glanced at Zhang Yan through the rearview mirror. "Yanzi, remember to report today's events to the big boss."

"Oh dear, boss, I'm your assistant!" Zhang Yan said, somewhat annoyed.

Xu Jiuyang laughed heartily: "I know, I know, that's why I had you prepare the report for the big boss. Don't worry, I'm serious. She definitely wants to know how my talk with Tian Tian went."

Leaving aside his fussing with his assistant and whether Fan Bingbing was satisfied with the meeting after learning about the situation, let's just talk about Da Tiantian. Although she had a smile on her face on the way back, she asked the nanny directly after returning to the villa: "Auntie, do you think I sing badly?"

"No, Miss sings very well. She sang 'The Water of Wanquan River is Clear and Pure' very well when she practiced it before," the nanny said.

The girl, who had been quite happy, could only awkwardly twitch her lips upon hearing the last sentence: "Oh, I see..."

Her father and his friends liked this style of singing, and she would occasionally dance or sing for them, so she could still sing several old songs quite well.

Although the little girl didn't really like those songs, she still had to admit that because she had practiced well, she should have some singing skills, right?

"He said he'd practice for a year before making it, but I think he's just trying to fool me!" Da Tiantian muttered to herself as she returned to her room, then quickly grinned mischievously. "I'll do a simulation tonight and try to mimic the song he's going to write, and then... hehe, I'll write it before him and show it to him, let him see his own abilities!"

The mischievous grin quickly turned into a silly grin, especially as he mentally pictured the surprised and admiring expression on the other person's face after he recited his own lyrics.

"Oh dear, how embarrassing!" Da Tian Tian cupped her burning cheeks.

Just then, her phone rang, which calmed her down a bit. After picking up the phone and looking at it, her calmness became even more pronounced.

Quickly tidying her face, Jing Tian answered the phone: "Father?"

"Hmm, the conversation went quite well. I'm going to practice my singing more."

"I know, they are very polite."

"His suggestions were all targeted, and I think they are at least worth considering."

About ten minutes later, she hung up the phone and tossed it onto the sofa, somewhat annoyed.

Of course, this wasn't the first or second time this had happened. Da Tiantian quickly recovered and started to imagine how to give someone a surprise.

After calming down, her thoughts were no longer as scattered as before, so she needed to think more practically; plagiarizing in advance was just too foolish.

"I should definitely show off my charm!" Da Tian Tian encouraged herself.
