From Composer to Entertainment Superstar

On the stage of "The King of Masked Singer", Wang Xuan sang these four songs, "Those Flowers", "You Are Not Really Happy", "YeYeYeYeYe", "Heaven and Earth"...

Of these four songs, which one is not a classic? Which one is not popular all over the country?

"The King of Masked Singer" is the most popular singing variety show in China. Although the ratings of the second round of the show have not yet been released, based on the feedback and popularity on the Internet, the industry has always believed that "The Masked Singer"

The ratings for the second round of "The King" will hit a new high, and are expected to break 2.5.

This is a national ratings, and this ratings is close to exploding.

It’s hard to say how popular the popular songs and the popular program will be for Wang Xuan. Wang Xuan is wearing a mask and his identity has not been exposed yet, otherwise it is possible for Wang Xuan to become a second-tier star in one fell swoop. After all, Wang Xuan is wearing a mask and his identity has not yet been exposed.

Xuan itself has good popularity.

White Tiger has become popular. After "The King of Masked Singer" aired, the top eight most searched topics were all occupied by topics related to "The King of Masked Singer", and two of them were about White Tiger.

Of course, "The Masked Singer" is even more popular.

At noon on the 7th, the ratings for the second round of "The King of Masked Singer" came out. The ratings of 2.6 reached a new high, which also blinded the eyes of the industry. Looking at the rising ratings curve, many people have already understood

, this show is unstoppable.

The explosion is close at hand.

How popular "The Masked Singer" is now can be seen from the number of downloads of the songs sung on the show uploaded to music platforms.

In the early morning of the 7th, the "King of Masked Singer" program team uploaded a dozen songs sung by Wang Xuan and others to the music platform. At noon on the 8th, the download numbers on the first day were released. The least number of song downloads exceeded 2.8 million, which is still

Because old songs were covered, and new songs like those sung by Wang Xuan became instant hits.

The most downloaded song is "You Are Not Really Happy", with 4.2 million downloads on the first day.

"YeYeYeYe" ranked second, with 4.05 million downloads on the first day.

"Heaven and Earth" ranked third, with 3.8 million downloads on the first day.

The popularity of Wang Xuan can also be seen from the downloads of the three songs.

The last round of program uploads "Those Flowers" has now received 23 million downloads.

But the most terrifying thing is "Heart Is Too Soft". The downloads of this song have not seen any decline and have been strong. At noon on the 7th, in 5 and a half days, it has already received 28 million downloads, and it continues to be on the new song list.

Riding Juechen.

"Lonely City", which ranked second, only received 18 million downloads in 6 and a half days, a distance of 10 million.

Not to mention the third "Night I Miss You", which only got 16.5 million downloads, and you can't even see the tail of "The Heart Is Too Soft".

"Heart Wall" rushed to fourth place, with 14.6 million downloads.

"Thieves of Time" broke into fifth place, with 14.35 million downloads. It has been closely behind "Wall of Heart" from the beginning, and it is still closely behind "Wall of Heart".

According to this trend, if "Heart Wall" can rush into the third place, then "Thieves of Time" will most likely rush into the fourth place. It depends on whether there is a chance later. At least for now, "The Night I Miss You" is in the third place.

The momentum has been maintained well, and "Wall of Heart" and "Thieves of Time" have not been given much chance.

However, Ye Xinghua, the singer of "The Night I Miss You", still feels a dull pain in the back. There is a big difference between the third and fifth place, so Huayi does not want to see "The Night I Miss You" be surpassed by "Heart Wall" and "Thieves of Time"

, this period of time can be described as sparing no effort in publicity.

Ye Xinghua himself has been running announcements to increase the exposure of "The Night I Miss You". It was not until "Heart Wall" achieved 4 million downloads that Huayi and Ye Xinghua felt relieved.

Of course, that's a story for another day.

By the way, on the 8th, after two days of rest, Wang Xuanshanshan returned to the company late.

In Chen Kai's words: Looking forward to the stars, looking forward to the moon, finally Brother Xuan is here.

Why is Chen Kai looking forward to Wang Xuan? Because his new movie is about to start filming.

Chen Kai basically maintains the rhythm of shooting one movie a year. For example, "Half City of Smoke and Sand" started shooting in June last year, took nearly a year, and was released in May this year.

After filming "Half a City of Smoke and Sand", Chen Kai took a three-month break. In early September, Chen Kai found a good script, which lasted a month. The casting was completed and he was ready to start work.

The movie needs a theme song, and it needs to be collected in advance, otherwise it will be easy to have the same problem as the last "Half City". The movie has been completed, but the theme song has not been implemented yet. If not for Wang Xuan, maybe "Half City"

"Yansha" missed the prime time slot in May.

Therefore, before filming started, Chen Kai came to see Wang Xuan and asked Wang Xuan to write a theme song for the movie.

Chen Kai explained his intention.

Wang Xuan smiled and said: "I thought Brother Kai wanted to see me for something important. If it was just this matter, Brother Kai wouldn't have to come over in person, it would just be a phone call away."

"I haven't seen you for a long time. Do you want to connect with you? The last time your family opened a hot pot restaurant, I really wanted to join in. However, it was a critical stage of casting and I couldn't get away."

Chen Kai smiled.

"It's a small matter. When my parents' hot pot restaurant opens in Shanghai, Kai Ge will support it." Wang Xuan said. The supporting role was a great success. "Haidilao" is now very popular. Naturally, Wang Xuan's parents have plans to open a branch.

It’s just that you can’t become fat in one step. Under Zeng Manli’s suggestion, the hot pot restaurant on the Xiangjiang River is now a pilot to discover and solve problems. After the pilot matures, Haidilao will inevitably expand, and it will happen rapidly.

expansion.

"That's for sure! If 'Haidilao' really opens in Shanghai, then Haidilao will be the place where my crew holds a wrapping party, a celebration party, etc." Chen Kai said with dignity.

"No, no, no, I'm just kidding."

"I'm not kidding."

"Okay, then I can only do my best to contribute to Brother Kai's new movie. The script will be sent to me later, and I will prepare a theme song for you carefully."

"Okay. Brother Xuan, in fact, in addition to inviting you for the theme song this time, I also want to ask you if you are interested in playing the male lead in my new movie? Although the male lead has been selected, it has not been decided yet. What if?

If Brother Xuan is interested, I will recommend all other candidates."

"It's okay, let's give it to the person we originally planned." |

"I'm serious. Do you remember the last time Zhang Lei started to brush you up? I said that I hope the leading actor in the next movie can work with you. I was serious at the time. In fact, your acting skills are very good. You should be in "Actor"

The best in the show. The reason why I also added the male lead this time is because I am not sure whether you want to participate. After all, being an actor is not easy. With your current status..."

Chen Kai didn't finish his words, but Wang Xuan understood what he meant.

With Wang Xuan's current status, it's normal that he doesn't want to star in a movie. After all, just one song can bring tens of millions of profits. Is it worth following the crew to get up early and stay up late every day, exposed to the sun and rain, and suffer all kinds of hardships?

Being an actor is of course very profitable, especially for famous actors. An endorsement can earn millions. Movie kings and actresses are even more terrifying. The salary for a movie appearance is about 15 million, and a big-name endorsement can cost more than 10 million.

Moreover, movie kings and movie queens are much more popular than singers and queens in the music industry. Not to mention the endorsement fee is several percent higher, and the endorsement fees are also merciless.

When it comes to earning power, in fact, the earning power of a movie star-level actor is much scarier than that of an average top songwriter.

The problem is that the road to becoming an actor or actress is very long. There are only a few actors and actresses in the entire entertainment industry. Although Chen Kai is optimistic about Wang Xuan, he is really not sure whether Wang Xuan can win the actor in the end, let alone how long this process will take.

Another thing, I’m talking about top-level composers in general. When it comes to Wang Xuan, it’s really hard to say who makes the most money, Wang Xuan or the Best Actor.

At least judging from the past few months, Wang Xuan's earning power is not inferior to that of the best actor. No kidding, Chen Kai just made a preliminary estimate. In the past five months, Wang Xuan has earned at least 120 million.

It is precisely because of this that Chen Kai will respect Wang Xuan's wishes whether he plays the leading actor in his movie or not, and will not force it. It is best if he can play the leading role, and it will be fine if he does not play. Chen Kai will not paint the cake for Wang Xuan.

In fact, Wang Xuan himself is not sure whether he will become an actor in the future, at least for the time being, he has no such idea.

The two goals he can determine now are the king of singers and the director.

The King of Singers is the short-term goal. So Wang Xuan participated in "The King of Masked Singer". After he won the King of Singers in several episodes and the finals, he was revealed in glory. At that time, he was probably a first-line singer. After that,

If you release one or two more hit albums, you'll be able to capture the most popular singers.

For Wang Xuan, being a singer is much easier than being an actor. It is also easier and does not require hard work. As for the actor, he needs to endure hardship. So at this time, Wang Xuan had no idea of ​​becoming an actor.

In fact, there is another reason why Wang Xuan doesn't want to star in movies directed by other directors. Those movies have not been tested by the market. Even if the script looks good, Wang Xuan is not sure whether it will be a hit.

If Wang Xuan wants to take the path of becoming an actor, he definitely doesn't want to have bumps and bumps along the way. The path he has set for himself to become an actor is also a smooth one, with a maximum of three steps.

Three movies, proven to be the best actor!

So before Wang Xuan became a director himself, he had no idea of ​​becoming an actor. If he wanted to be an actor, he would also participate in movies directed by himself, scripts that became popular after being tested by the market, and characters that became popular.

"It's okay, just give it to them, I have no idea of ​​acting for the time being." Wang Xuan said.

"Okay then." Chen Kai was a little regretful. He actually hoped that Wang Xuan would join, not only because he was optimistic about Wang Xuan's acting skills, but also because he was optimistic about Wang Xuan's popularity and appeal.

After sending the script to Wang Xuan, Chen Kai said goodbye to Wang Xuan.

As for Wang Xuan, he is not in a hurry to compose a theme song for Chen Kai's movie. With Chen Kai's serious attitude towards movies, a movie takes at least half a year to shoot. Half a year is enough for Wang Xuan to compose ten or eight theme songs.

.

On the 8th, the National Day Golden Week has passed, and the double monthly tickets of Shengshi Chinese Network have also ended. After the double period, the monthly tickets of "Dragon Babu" have been fixed at 1.05 million, which means Tianqiong has given up resistance, otherwise "Dragon Babu"

"There will only be more monthly tickets.

In short, although it is only the 8th, the battle for the monthly ranking of Shengshi Chinese Network is over and the dust has settled. If nothing unexpected happens, "Dragon Babu" will also win the annual monthly ranking championship.

1.05 million, and it is estimated that it will get 1.1 million by the end of the month. And even if you include this month, "King of Shadows" will only get 880,000 monthly tickets in total, which is still 250,000 away from "Dragon", unless it comes later

The average monthly votes of "King of Shadows" in the past two months exceeded 120,000, otherwise the annual champion would definitely be "Dragon".

So Tianqiong really regretted it, so much that he almost judged his thighs.

I really shouldn't have provoked Luo Qiu at the beginning, but now it's better. Not only is the Dynasty's three consecutive championships gone, but also the annual championship is gone.

What can be expected is that Wang Xuan has already become a god in one book.

Currently, Shengshi Chinese Network is already discussing Wang Xuan's next contract internally. A contract with a great star is certain, and some senior executives have even proposed to give Wang Xuan a platinum contract with a great star to prevent Wang Xuan from being poached by other websites.

Although Shengshi Chinese Network is the largest genuine novel website in the online literary world, it does not have no competitors. If Wang Xuan is poached by other websites, Shengshi Chinese Network will really have no place to cry.

There is no way, the results of "Dragon and the Eight Parts" are too incredible. The results of this book have made the inside of Shengshi Chinese Network see Wang Xuan's strength. Therefore, many senior officials are discussing giving Wang Xuan a platinum appointment.

However, it is obviously impossible to come up with the results of the discussion in the short term. Because it is enough to be crowned a god by one book, and platinum by one book. There is no precedent for this in the Internet literature industry before. It is normal for disagreements within the Shengshi Chinese Network.

There was nothing going on at the company recently, so Wang Xuan felt free and happy, and was even in the mood to play online games. He first played "Warcraft" for a few hours, and then uninstalled the game after exchanging a few noob comments with the online game.

Dishes were not the reason why Wang Xuan uninstalled the game.

It’s true that I don’t like being abused.

Being dishonest and not liking being abused are two different concepts. The former refers to the lack of technical skills, while the latter is undeniable due to factors such as insufficient skills, but sometimes people who are not skilled enough will be abused. For example, the online game version of "Warcraft" is

in this way.

The online game version of "Warcraft" requires leveling up, completing tasks, and collecting materials. Others have been playing it for a month, but Wang Xuan has just played it. No matter how good his skills are, how can he not be abused?

Therefore, the stand-alone version of "Warcraft" is still fun, and there is no need to level up or do tasks. No matter when you play, the opponents you match are on the same starting line, and it is completely based on technology, which is much more fun than the online version of "Warcraft"

.

I don’t know when Ice and Snow Company will release this version, or if there is any concept to release this version. Wang Xuan wanted to mention Ice and Snow Company.

After uninstalling "Warcraft", Wang Xuan started playing the alien version of CF again. At first, he was tortured to pieces, and he was tortured to the point of doubting his life. Later, Wang Xuan downloaded a small program.

This time it was much better, Wang Xuan shot him in the head with a gun.

Don't ask Wang Xuan how he did it, ask, he is invincible even on the wall.

Don't blame Wang Xuan for cheating, he is a ten-year-old CF who is the leader, and he can be tortured to the point of doubting his life. He will almost die if he shows up, and he will die if he doesn't show up. Even if he is beaten to death, he won't believe that others are not cheating.

Anyway, after having fun for a few times, Wang Xuan felt much better and felt more comfortable, so he quit the game.

Shaking his head, Wang Xuanxin said that this game was hopeless.

There are so many cheaters, and if I don’t cheat, I can’t feel the pleasure at all, how can I help?

Moreover, plug-ins are too easy to find. He just randomly searched on the Internet, and a lot of them came out, including automatic aiming, light headshots with guns, and even see-through and wall-penetrating ones.

There are so many cheats, but the game company actually ignores them. How can this game be saved?

Wang Xuan checked and found that the alien version of CF was released three years ago. At that time, it also set a record of 300 million people online at the same time around the world. In China alone, there were 30 million people online at the same time, and the cumulative number of registered people exceeded

Two hundred million.

But now, it is estimated that there are only hundreds of thousands of people playing this game online at the same time in China. The reason is probably that it was destroyed by cheaters.

Wang Xuan has seen too many games ruined by cheats. For example, Legend on Earth was a game ruined by cheats. At its peak, Legend was more popular than any other game. In an Internet cafe, more than 80% of the people were playing Legend.

This is no joke.

But none of this has anything to do with him. He just happened to play this game and was a little emotional.

As soon as this idea came to an end, Li Tao stepped into his office.

"Brother Xuan, come on, we have a big order." Li Tao couldn't hide his excitement in his words.

"Oh? What kind of work makes our Brother Tao so excited? Tell me." Wang Xuan poured a cup of tea for Li Tao and asked with interest.

"Do you know the game "Cross Fire"? "Cross Fire" is a gun shooting game owned by smile company. It was also very popular in the north and south two or three years ago.

Two years ago, this game was bought out by China's Tencent Company. At that time, it also set a record for the highest number of people online at the same time. Unfortunately, it was later ruined by a plug-in. In the past two years, Tencent's technical team worked hard and finally researched

A method to block plug-ins has been found, and the version will be updated soon.

By then this game will be alive and it will probably explode in popularity. After all, even in the past two years when cheats have been rampant, the game can still have more than one million people online at the same time every day. It would definitely be much better if there were no cheats." Li Tao asked.

Wang Xuan nodded: "So does this have anything to do with me?"

"It's relevant. Tencent plans to collect a theme song for the new version, hoping to awaken players' memories and recall players to play "Cross Fire". Our Tianyu has also received the invitation. To be precise, it's Brother Xuan.

The invitation has arrived. Tencent hopes to cooperate with you very much and is very sincere.

Let’s talk about Tengxin Company. It is also a wealthy company and one of the best in China. The price offered by Tengxin Company for the theme song this time is very high. Although it cannot be compared with the Ice and Snow Company, it still offered a price of 30 million.

"

"30 million?" Wang Xuan's eyes lit up.

"Yes, 30 million."

"Buyout?"

"It's a buyout, but it's not a pure buyout. If this song is released on the music platform, you can also enjoy a 0.5% dividend. Having said that, Tencent is very eager to cooperate with you, but obviously it won't put the eggs on the line.

They're all put in the same basket, and other top songwriters probably also received offers."

"That's for sure."

"Shall we take this order?"

"Take it. When does the other party want the song?" With a guarantee of 30 million and a 0.5% dividend, this song is expected to bring Wang Xuan 40 to 50 million in income. How could Wang Xuan not accept it?

"The sooner the better. It is estimated that Tencent will update the version in another month. Therefore, this theme song must be completed within a month. If you are determined to win, it is best within 10 days. If it is late, something may happen."

"Okay, I get it."

"Can you make it?"

"There's enough time."

"Then I will reply to the other party."

"Um."

After Li Tao left, Wang Xuan began to make some inner calculations. As a ten-year-old CF fan, Wang Xuan certainly has war songs suitable for this game in his music library.

Gong Geer, Nicholas Tse, and Deng Ziqi's version of the "CF" theme songs are all Wang Xuan's war songs, which are repeated when playing CF.

Some people say that Gong Geer sang the rise of "cf", Nicholas Tse sang the peak of "cf", and Deng Ziqi sang the decline of "cf".

Wang Xuan agrees. The three versions of the "Cross Fire" theme song are actually three different periods of Cross Fire.

The theme song of Gong Geer's version of "cf" is the first generation theme song of "cf", which has witnessed the rise of "cf". Nicholas Tse's version of the theme song of "cf" has witnessed the peak of the popularity of "cf", and Deng Ziqi's version of "cf"

Theme song, "cf" The game has already reached sunset. It is impossible to reach its peak again. It can't even return to the light. At most, it is just lingering.

The theme songs of the three versions are all good, and Wang Xuan likes them all. If he had to choose a favorite, Wang Xuan would choose Gong Geer's version of "Cross Fire". Therefore, the theme song Wang Xuan plans to compose for Tencent Company is also

I will choose Gong Geer's version of "Cross Fire".

Gong Geer's version of "Cross Fire" is really good, very burning, full of passion, and quite connotative. The theme of this song is to affirm ourselves in our hearts, to put aside timidity and fragility, to move forward courageously, and to assert our destiny.

It should be controlled by ourselves.

More importantly, whenever this song plays, Wang Xuan can always recall the scene when he first joined the FireWire family, and the scene when he picked up the M16 in his hand and launched charges again and again on the transport ship; thinking of himself

Holding that furious M60 and constantly shooting biochemical ghosts, the scene of tenacious resistance and struggle!

That was his lost youth. As the lyrics say: "If you are not afraid, let's corss fire together." So after careful consideration, Wang Xuan made Gong Geer's version of "Cross Fire" for Tencent Company.

After writing the song, Wang Xuan encountered a problem: who would sing the song.

After carefully looking at the information of all the singers in Tianyu, Wang Xuan still couldn't choose a suitable singer to sing this song. Xu Yang could actually do it, but Xu Yang just sang a popular song "Heart Is Too Soft".

It would be such a waste if I sang it for Xu Yang again.

Because the song "Heart Is Too Soft" was enough for Xu Yang to become a first-tier singer.

Wang Xuan can actually sing by himself, but he participated in "The King of Masked Singer" and plans to become a first-line singer on the "King of Masked Singer" stage. He doesn't want to expose his singing skills now.

If someone guesses that Bai Hu is him through this song, it will be a bit of a loss.

Because although this song is nice and passionate, it is actually a niche song. It is only aimed at CF players and has a limited audience. People who don’t play CF may not be interested in it. Singing this song will increase his popularity.

The improvement definitely helps, but it's nowhere near as good as "The Masked Singer."

Forget it, the singer will play it first and record the soundtrack first.
