From Composer to Entertainment Superstar

The money spent filming "Welcome Together" was much less than Wang Xuan imagined. Even if he used the best equipment, on average, an episode only cost about 500,000 yuan.

The nine leading actors are all new students, and their pay is very low, 200,000 yuan per person, and the average is less than 10,000 yuan per episode.

Including the wages of the crew and various expenses, the total cost of filming this TV series was only about 20 million.

Tsk, this money was earned last month from Du Chengfei's song "Farewell".

As of the end of last month, "Farewell" has finally received 65 million downloads. The platform will get 30%, Du Chengfei will get 0.50%, and Wang Xuan will get 20% personally, which is equivalent to Tianhai's 4.50%, which is about 2,900 before tax.

Ten thousand.

With 65 million downloads, it was naturally a big hit in April. The highest downloads of other songs below were only 40 million. Du Chengfei also gained a lot of popularity and Weibo attention because of the song "Farewell"

Already nearly 8 million.

8 million Weibo followers is considered the threshold for second-tier singers.

Wang Xuan only used two songs to push a newcomer who was originally considered a complete newcomer in the music world to the point where he is halfway to the threshold of a second-tier singer. I don’t know how many people were shocked and how many people were envious.

Du Chengfei was shocked.

What makes people even more jealous is that in May, Du Chengfei came again and not only released new songs, but also released an album.

The album was only officially released on May 7th, but for this album, Tianhai started promoting it half a month in advance, and the promotion was vigorous. Hot search headlines, major forums, blogs, and chat platforms were all filled with mentions of Du Chengfei's album.

information.

There are many people looking forward to this album. The mere fact that Wang Xuan wrote the lyrics, composed the music and composed the entire album himself is enough to attract people.

Of course, Du Chengfei was not the only one to release an album in May, many people also released albums.

Despite the fact that many big-name singers say things like "they shy away when they see Wang Xuan", in golden months like May, October and December, no one is afraid of Wang Xuan.

It’s useless to be afraid. Singers also need popularity and exposure to maintain their status. The most direct way is to release songs. And the most suitable months for releasing songs are May, October and December.

So this month, there are two singers and queens who have released singles, and two first-line singers. In addition, there are two singers, and one first-line singer has released an album.

Of course, few people will release an album directly. They usually release the title song to warm up the album, and only after attracting a lot of popularity will the album be released. These three top singers and first-line singers who have released albums also chose to warm up the album.

It is also equivalent to the fact that among the big-name singers releasing songs in the May new song list, there are actually 4 singing kings and queens, and 3 first-line singers. The lineup is very strong.

In the early morning of May 1st, Huayi’s singer Li Ronggui, Heyuan’s singer He Jun, Great Wall Entertainment’s singer Yu Hao, and Dynasty Entertainment’s queen Peng Xiaoyu all uploaded their new songs.

Star's A-list singer Zhi Zhi, Morning Star's A-list singer Chen Lu, Jin Hui's A-list singer Sun Siya, and PolyGold's A-list singer Zhang Min also uploaded their new songs.

These are just singers above the first-tier level, there are also countless singers below the first-tier level.

May, October, and December are called fans’ feasts for no reason. In the early morning of May 1st, I don’t know how many fans stayed up late waiting for the new song chart to be updated.

In this context, Tianhai also uploaded Du Chengfei's single.

About half an hour later, the ranking of the new song list was refreshed for the first time.

At the top of the list is Great Wall Entertainment's singer Yu Hao, whose song "The Oath" has 580,000 downloads and 400,000 listens.

Yu Hao is a veteran singer, and he is considered an evergreen tree in the music industry. Eight years ago, he won an award for a popular single and a popular album, and he was awarded a Grand Slam immediately. After that, he won an award.

The popularity has been maintained well.

Starting from the year before last year, Yu Hao entered the film industry and starred in several movies, but unfortunately the box office was not high. The key is that his acting skills are really average. Fans will buy it for him, but it is impossible for neutral audiences to buy it.

In short, the transformation failed. After several beatings, Yu Hao finally gave up on the film industry and returned to the music industry. This song in May was carefully prepared for his return to the music industry.

He is determined to win the new song list in May. As for Wang Xuan, step aside for him. Others are afraid of Wang Xuan, but he is not afraid. In his opinion, Wang Xuan is just a mountain without tigers and a monkey is the king.

As for the current ranking of top composers in the industry, Yu Hao also has some disdain in his heart. Huang Zhan ranks first? Zhuang Ye ranks second? Gu Jiahui ranks third? Haha, have you asked his teacher Dou Wei?

At the music festival eight years ago, his teacher Dou Wei was able to use a single and an album to help him win awards and win the Best Composition Award that year. Eight years later, he can also use this song "

"The Oath" helped him top the new song chart in May.

It's just that his teacher is a bit low-key. After winning the award, he retired to the mountains and forests. He didn't compete for fame or profit, so his ranking in the industry was very low. If it weren't for him this time, his teacher would still be unwilling to come out.

In Yu Hao's opinion, his teacher is a real musician who focuses on making music. This song "The Oath" is the work created by the latter. Look, "The Oath" will definitely top the May new song list. And his teacher

The self-titled album "The Oath" produced for him will definitely sweep the album market this year.

Yes, there are two singing kings releasing albums this month, and Yu Hao is one of them.

Ranking second is Peng Xiaoyu, the queen of Dynasty Entertainment, whose new song "Flower in the Mirror" has 480,000 downloads and 390,000 listens.

Ranking third is Li Ronggui, the singer king of Huayi, whose new song "Nobody and Me" has 450,000 downloads and 380,000 listens.

Ranking fourth is He Jun, a singer under Dingsheng. His new song "Fate in the Sky" has 400,000 downloads and 350,000 listens. This month, another singer who released an album is He Jun.

PolyGold's first-line singer Zhang Min ranked fifth. The new song "Moonlight in the City" has 350,000 downloads and 330,000 listens.

Baolijin is an entertainment company in Hong Kong. At its peak, it was a gathering of stars, occupying half of the music scene in Hong Kong. Unfortunately, it also declined with the decline of the entertainment industry in Hong Kong. Now it can barely maintain its position as a first-line entertainment company.

.

If Zhong Tao is the new generation singer of Emperor Entertainment, then Zhang Min is the new generation singer of PolyGold. PolyGold only asked Zhang Min to switch to the independent industry after seeing Zhong Tao achieve great success.

Mainland.

This song "Moonlight in the City" was created by PolyGold for Zhang Min with a lot of money. The lyrics and music were composed by well-known top musicians from Taiwan. In addition, Zhang Min will release an album in a few days.

Zhizhi ranked sixth.

....

Du Chengfei ranked 11th. His new song "He Must Love You Very Much" has 250,000 downloads.

Don't think that this ranking is low. May's new song list is a month full of stars. There are 7 first-tier or above singers, and there are five or six second-tier or above singers. Du Chengfei is not even a second-tier singer now, plus Tianhai is now in

There is no recommendation position on the music platform. Being able to squeeze into the eleventh place in the first ranking refresh is already very strong.

After the ranking was refreshed, many people started listening to the song.

The fans are listening to the songs, and the singers are also listening to the songs.

He Jun is one of them. He first listened to Yu Hao's "The Oath" and was speechless after listening to it.

Can't beat it!

Damn it, Dou Wei is Dou Wei, he is so powerful. It is not unreasonable for him to win the Best Composer Award eight years ago over Huang Zhan and others. It is a pity that he has retired. I guess only a disciple like Yu Hao can do it.

Ask him to come out.

Forget it, even Dou Wei has come out, admit it. Anyway, his goal is not to win the crown of May's new song chart, but to lead the album. This new song is just a warm-up for the album.

Thinking of this, He Jun clicked on Peng Xiaoyu's new song "Flowers in the Mirror" and was speechless even before listening to it.

Forget about Yeluo’s composition, the lyrics are actually written by Huang Zhan, and the arranger is actually by Wang Xinmin. Damn it, isn’t this bullying? Who is Huang Zhan? The top songwriter who is currently ranked number one in the industry. Who is Wang Xinmin?

?The number one top arranger in Taiwan.

Can the average person withstand the combined power of these people?

Sure enough, after hearing "Flower in the Mirror", He Jun knew that he couldn't beat it.

As for who is better, "Flower in the Mirror" or "The Oath", there is no doubt that it is "The Oath".

Dou Wei is a musician who is very good at writing lyrics, composition, and arrangement. He is not the best, but he is top-notch. Huang Zhan is a top-notch lyricist, and Wang Xinmin is a top-notch arranger... Unfortunately, Yeluo's composition is much worse than Dou Wei's, and it is also lagging behind.

It has lost its legs. So in summary, "The Oath" is stronger.

But what does it have to do with him? He couldn't get first place anyway.

No, it does matter. Even if you don't get first or second place, it's still good to get third.

"Let's see if we can keep third place." He Jun continued to listen to music. He clicked on Li Ronggui's new song "Nobody and Me". After listening to it, he was happy. He was finally able to beat Li Ronggui.

Li Ronggui and he debuted in the same year, became kings of Taoist songs at about the same time, and are about the same popularity. They are in love with each other. So this time, the new song can beat Li Ronggui, and He Jun is still very happy.

As a result, He Jun's joy did not last for a few seconds, and he broke out after listening to Zhang Min's new song "Moonlight in the City".

"I, Baolijin, am Baolijin. Although it has declined, a skinny camel is still bigger than a horse.

This song "Moonlight in the City" has a beautiful melody. Just listening to the melody is touching. Zhang Min's singing voice is also touching, elegant and sad. People can't help but enter a hazy and beautiful artistic conception of white moonlight, and see things and think about people.

Sadness, loss, concern, loneliness, beautiful blessings for love, admonishing the world to cherish the people in front of you, are all in this song.

It’s over, we can’t keep third place.”

He Jun felt like a leaked ball for a moment and didn't want to listen anymore. However, there was one person whose new song you definitely wanted to listen to, and that was Du Chengfei's new song, because that song was written and composed by Wang Xuan.

Thinking of this, He Jun no longer listened to each song one by one, but planned to directly search for Du Chengfei's new songs.

what do you say that is?

Oh, yes, it seems to be called "He Must Love You Very Much".

Just when he was about to search, the screen flashed, and the ranking of the new song list was refreshed again. Then He Jun saw that the song "He Must Love You Very Much" had entered the top ten of the new song list, and it had directly entered the ninth place.

It has been downloaded 680,000 times.

Very good and strong!

Looking at this increase, this song is going to be a hit.

Click to download and listen to the two episodes. Soon, He Jun's eyes widened. The more he listened, the more shocked he became, and the more he listened, the more he took a breath.

After he listened to the whole song, he was a little confused.

Then he suddenly laughed. Looking at "The Oath" ranked first, "Flowers in the Mirror" ranked second, and "Moonlight in the City" which had just surpassed his new song and ranked third...

Shaked his head.

grain harvest

Die!

Let's die together in front of this song "He Must Love You Very Much"!

If I can't get into the top three, you can't even think about it.

.....

On the other side, our little Huihui is naturally indispensable to the audience of the monthly new song list.

It is worth mentioning that in the final of "The King of Masked Singer" last month, due to Xiao Huihui's extraordinary performance, he finally defeated the singer Qinglong in January and the defending singer Black Swan in March, and won the award.

The first issue of King of Songs.

So Xiao Huihui has been very happy recently.

Because he hasn't released a song for too long, his current popularity is declining, but after the King of Singer Finals, he will definitely gain massive popularity. The King of Singer Finals is not far away, in July.

So Xiao Huihui doesn't need to compete with these people for the new song chart in May. He just wants to watch the excitement and see how these kings and queens of songs are defeated by Wang Xuan.

Yes, as the number one Wang Xuan, Xiao Huihui has so much confidence in Wang Xuan.

The new song list was refreshed. He didn't listen to other people's songs. He first searched for Wang Xuan's new songs and listened to them.

The title of the song is "He Must Love You Very Much".

Download and listen to Erlian.

The prelude sounded, and Xiao Huihui shouted 6666.

"Melodious, melodious, this intro is so nice. Did you use meteor? It should be right? Forget it, never mind, I'm invincible anyway." Xiao Huihui thought to himself.

Wang Xuan's arranger is really strong. Among all the musicians Xiao Huihui has seen, only Baihu's arranger can compete with Wang Xuan. Both of them use many uncommon techniques in their arrangements.

of musical instruments.

For example, Wang Xuan's "Dongfeng Po" uses the erhu and pipa. The current song "He Must Love You Very Much" should use meteor at the beginning. Anyway, it must be an uncommon instrument. And Bai Hu's "Lonely Sandbank Cold" includes Tianzhu'a.

Three sitars were used.

After the prelude, Du Chengfei’s hoarse and magnetic singing voice sounded:

"I was hiding in the car with champagne in my hand

I want to give you a birthday surprise

As you get closer and closer, there are two voices

I was caught off guard and could only stand there stunned.”

"I'll go! Awesome, these lyrics are so graphic." Xiao Huihui praised.

Listening to these lyrics, a picture immediately appeared in Xiao Huihui's mind.

In the picture, a man was hiding in a car with champagne, trying to surprise his girlfriend who was celebrating her birthday. When the girlfriend came over, in addition to his girlfriend's voice, there was another voice, which made the man at a loss.

Stunned in the car.

"I should be under the car, not in the car

See how sweet you are

This way it will be easier for me to give up.

Give me the courage to leave.”

The second verse of the verse is still very visual, and vividly displays the man's painful and conflicting mood.

Hiding in the car, he saw his girlfriend kissing me with another man. He was really regretful at that time. He wished he was under the car, knowing nothing and seeing nothing, so that he wouldn't

I was in so much pain that I didn’t even have the courage to leave.

"He must love you very much, and he also compares me with you

It only took a minute to break up

He must love you very much and will please you better than me

Not as childish as me

It’s embarrassing for you”

"Invincible! This song is indeed invincible!" After listening to the chorus, Xiao Huihui came to this conclusion directly. This chorus showed an emotionally weak man to be extremely conscientious.

It was obvious that his girlfriend had cheated on him and betrayed him, but he still tried desperately to excuse his girlfriend. This was because there was another man who loved his girlfriend more than he did, who was better at pleasing his girlfriend than he was, and would not be like him.

, always childish, always making things difficult for his girlfriend.

Xiao Huihui thought of a saying, when it comes to emotional issues, whoever takes it seriously first will lose, and whoever invests everything will lose. Those who get it too easily will never cherish it.

Anyway, this song is invincible.

After listening to it, Xiao Huihui directly shared "He Must Love You Very Much" to the Poujie chat group.

Soon, the street crowd became lively.

"Invincible!"

"Awesome! Wang Xuan is so awesome. Fortunately, I didn't release a song this month, otherwise I would have to support him again."

"Haha, if Wang Xuan doesn't sing, you are no longer a foil. How many songs can you sing like "The Oath", "Flower in the Mirror", and "Moonlight in the City"?"

"So what? Do they have to kneel down in front of this song "He Must Love You Very Much"?"

"That's true."

"As expected, Wang Xuan attacks indiscriminately. Let alone us, even the king of singers and queens are vulnerable to Wang Xuan."

"Wang Xuan: I'm not deliberately targeting anyone. What I want to say is that everyone on the new song list is rubbish."

"Pfft! 6666, this sentence has so much flavor."

...

On the other side, after listening to "He Must Love You Very Much", the singing king Li Kui did the same thing as Xiao Huihui and directly shared "He Must Love You Very Much" to the singing king and queen Jingjing group.

Then, the Jingjing group also became lively.

"Fuck! Invincible! This song is invincible!"

"The hard times are coming for everyone. Wang Xuan is so awesome, who can cure him?"

"Whatever, I'm not the only one who feels uncomfortable anyway, everyone feels uncomfortable."

"Pfft! You are lying flat."

"otherwise?"

"Haha! I'm lying down too. I'm just watching the fun now. Doesn't anyone feel sorry for Yu Hao? Yu Hao went to the film and television industry for two years and was beaten back. Not to mention, he was educated by Wang Xuan as soon as he returned to the music scene.

It’s over.”

"Haha! Yu Hao is indeed worth feeling sorry for. When I saw him releasing a new song a few days ago, I even had a few words with him, telling him to be careful about Wang Xuan and to avoid Wang Xuan. But he didn't believe it.

He said that Wang Xuan has nothing to fear, even if he meets his teacher, he has to kneel down. As a result..."

"He Jun doesn't believe in evil either. Let him slow down and he won't believe it."

"Nonsense! I'm not here for the new song chart. I don't aim at winning the new song chart in May. The reason why I released this single is just to warm up the album." He Jun bubbled, "Xiaoyu and Li Ronggui

It’s the one who doesn’t believe in evil.”

"Hey, He Jun, we are familiar with each other. If you spread rumors again, I will sue you for defamation. When did I stop believing in evil? I have always known that Wang Xuan is very strong, but I haven't made a song for a long time.

I need exposure. If I don’t release a song, my popularity will fall out of the top of the songwriters." Li Ronggui was also excited.

"That's right, since I won the top spot on the new song chart in March last year, I haven't released a single new song until now, and fans have been obsessed with it. However, I still have some thoughts about the new song chart, because Wang Xuan is too strong.

"Peng Xiaoyu was also excited.

"So after all is said and done, Yu Hao is the only one who doesn't believe in evil. Yu Hao and Yu Hao, stop pretending to be dead and come out and share your psychological shadow." Li Kuai called Yu Hao.

"That's it! It's just a new song chart. Let's see how I can push Wang Xuan down in the album market in a few days!" Yu Hao was bubbling, still a little unconvinced.

"Well, I won't give up until I reach the Yellow River. That's it."

...

At noon on the 1st, the first-day download ranking of new songs was released. "He Must Love You Very Much" received 2.8 million downloads, ranking seventh.

The number of downloads on No. 2 soared directly to 3.5 million, ranking fifth with 6.3 million downloads.

The download volume of No. 3 soared again, with 4 million downloads in a single day, directly rushing into the third place.

On the 4th, while the single-day downloads of other songs have stabilized, the downloads of "He Must Love You Very Much" are still rising, with 4.3 million single-day downloads and 14.6 million total downloads, directly reaching the top of the list of new songs.

List.

Look, the God of War under the car is the God of War under the car. It only took 4 days for "He Must Love You Very Much" to top the new song chart. It's crazy. This is a star-studded month in May.

The industry was stunned and countless people were stunned.

...
