Perfect Life

1997 may be destined to be a very lively year for the Chinese music scene.

People are screaming and horses are screaming.

Just in mid-February, the No. 1 female singing group in China, Wuxingwusu, released their fourth studio album, "The Boy Oppositely Comes Over".

In the domestic entertainment circle of this era, there is no program or media influence, which can be compared with the Spring Festival Gala of Huaxia TV, so there is no doubt that Huage Records' promotion strategy for "The Boy Across from Here", It worked again.

With the help of the two and a half minutes of successful performance at the Spring Festival Gala, of course, the most important thing is the quality of the song itself, and the song itself has an accurate grasp of the psychology of the younger generation of fans... In short, the song "The Boy Opposite" is here. Song, instant fire.

It seems that everything is repeating itself. When this fresh and beautiful wind of youth blows, almost no one can stop it. In the week when "The Boy Opposite" was released, it directly landed at the top of the sales list of Dongguan Bookstore. At the same time, As the first hit of the album, "The Boy Opposite Here Comes Over" also directly topped the Voice of China's Golden Songs On Demand Chart without any suspense!

At this moment, Wuxingwusu seems to have once again become the Wuxingwusu that is omnipotent and breaks all rules. What Zhen Zhen, what Huang Yuqing, what Li Junru, what Huang Mai, kill them all.

Afterwards, when "The Boy Opposite" became a big hit, some media revealed that the new film of Yu Bojun, a famous new-generation director in China, was in preparation, and the heroine of his film had already locked himself in the Wuxing Wusu group. Zhou Pingping, known as the "beauty with electric eyes". In an interview, Zhou Pingping frankly admitted the news.

In China, the film and television circles and the music circles have always been collectively referred to as the entertainment circles. In the eyes of the public, it seems that the two circles are very closely related to each other, but they are not. Of course, there is a lot of intersection between the music industry and the film and television industry. And there is no shortage of talented people, who straddle these two circles. As for singers who need to shoot mv, film and television also need soundtracks and the like. It is the place where the two sides will definitely overlap, but to be honest, the overlap between the two circles is nothing more than that.

In the time and space that Li Qian once experienced, there was a special case. That is the Hong Kong entertainment industry. Because the place is small, the population is limited, and the entertainment industry has shown an unusual and unreasonable prosperity, so in the most glorious years of Hong Kong's entertainment industry, many people were the so-called three-dimensional stars of film and television songs, and they were able to gather screenwriters, Director, actor, singer and many other identities are all in one, and there are many artists who have released all-round talents.

However, that's really just the exception.

Look around the world, whether it is Europe or the United States. Still in Japan, in a market with a mature entertainment industry, there are many examples of performing and performing well, or singing and performing well, but basically, there are not many that can succeed in both aspects. Singers act in movies and TV, often only occasionally, or simply as a friendly cameo. When actors release records, they are often just for fun. The same is true in the country.

Even in China, some star actors release records not just because they are fun or because they like music. They will release albums, in fact, they just want to have a saying that it is convenient for business performances.

Therefore, Zhou Pingping suddenly took this step from being a singer to an actor, and this step was so big that she directly played the heroine of a movie. But for the music circle, it is extremely amazing news-many people think that this is a symbol that Wuxingwusu has reached its peak.

In fact, for many singers in the music circle, being able to act in movies and still play the leading role, and embarking on the road of three-dimensional development of film and television songs since then, is indeed the envy of countless people.

In this regard, Huage Records is naturally smug and high-spirited.

However, there are many people who are popular.

In the past year, it can be said that since the group Wuxingwusu became popular, domestic record companies have been eyeing a few girls in their group, and the poaching is almost non-stop. At this time, as Wuxing Wusu became more and more popular, and the five-year management contract they signed with Huage Records was about to expire, the poaching action of various record companies became even more crazy.

But in this regard, Huage Records seems to be confident.

In an interview, Wu Jie, the agent of Wuxing Wusu, said with a smile, considering that the contracts of artists such as Zhou Pingping and Sima Duoduo will expire before the end of this year, Huage Records has prepared abnormal conditions for Wuxing Wusu The generous new contract, several girls in Wuxing Wusu also said that of course they will continue to renew the contract with the company.

But in the gossip news circulating in the industry, Wuxing Wusu was quite dissatisfied with the new contract given by the company, but because when the company signed five girls, they signed them separately, and then they were combined into five elements. Wusu is a group, so the name Wuxing Wusu and this group actually belong to Huage Records. Therefore, the five girls will be afraid that once they leave this group, they will lose their capital in an instant. This is incomparable. Hesitating, not daring to break up with the company, nor to change jobs - but it is clear that after receiving the invitation of the heroine of Yu Bojun's new film, Zhou Pingping's confidence suddenly became stronger. At this time, she seemed to suddenly She became the eldest sister among the five girls.

In an interview at a promotional event, she mercilessly bombarded Huage Records for squeezing artists. Not only does the current contract treat artists like slaves, but the new contract is still the same!

So overnight, Zhou Pingping bombarded the news that the company was squeezing artists, and it became the front page headlines of major entertainment pages. The entire entertainment industry set off a huge storm in an instant - and Zhou Pingping, who was in the center of the storm, suddenly improved to a higher level. , It seems that overnight, she has begun to break away from the original impression of "a girl in the five elements" in the minds of domestic fans, and in the blink of an eye she has become the most popular in the domestic entertainment circle and the most popular among the entertainment media. Top actress.

Her name began to go beyond the category of "combination" and became an existence, which left a kind of profound imprint in the hearts of domestic fans.

Of course, this matter was subsequently suppressed by Huage Records.

In the subsequent promotion activities of Wuxingwusu for the new album, Zhou Pingping began to be absent, and the remaining four girls faced these tricky problems, especially the issue of contract renewal. All of them unanimously expressed that they were "satisfied with the contract given by the company" and that "there are some small problems that we have been working together for several years and can be resolved through negotiation."

And then. Some media broke the inside story - it is said that the reason why Zhou Pingping was absent from the subsequent publicity was not that she was blocked or temporarily suppressed by the company, but that the company was urgently negotiating a new contract with her.

It is also said that, considering Zhou Pingping's "special contribution" in the combination of Wuxingwusu, Huage Records has decided to adjust her personal treatment to a certain extent.

That is to say. Everyone is a member of the Five Elements and Wusu Group, but the contract will be different.

When the two "supposedly" broke the news, Huage Records immediately denied it, and said that the company treats the five girls in the group equally, and there will never be any "special treatment", because everyone is not in the group. or missing one. And Zhou Pingping, who reappeared in the group's publicity itinerary, also recognized this statement with a smile, and said that she did not get any special contract, and she bombarded the company before. I just want to get a better treatment for my sisters.

When the host of a program asked whether she would change jobs, Zhou Pingping directly smiled and said no, and said that she was very grateful to the company for training and caring for her, and she was willing to stay at Huage Records and never quit.

However, in such a program, people with a heart have begun to find that almost half of the scenes in the entire program are for Zhou Pingping alone, while the other four girls in Wuxingwusu are almost completely Neglected. even. Even the host's questions were mostly questions about Zhou Pingping, and other girls rarely got a chance to speak - like a combination of five elements and Wusu. It has really started to be led by Zhou Pingping and has become a combination of Zhou Pingping.

Moreover, attentive audiences can almost find that they are all smiles. The smiles on the faces of Sima Duoduo, Sun Ruoxuan and other girls are obviously not as bright as the smiles on Zhou Pingping's face.

And then, Li Qian heard the news from Wang Jinglu: Huage Records did indeed open a special contract for Zhou Pingping. Compared to their current contract, it is a leap forward, and the contracts for other girls, including Wang Jingxue, are only slightly higher. The contract with Zhou Pingping is a lot worse - of course, Huage Records made it very clear during the internal meeting that Zhou Pingping is now taking the path of development on both sides of film, television and songs, which has a great impact on the popularity and influence of the entire group. It has a huge promotion effect, so it is only natural that her personal treatment is better.

Moreover, this matter is an internal secret of the company, and no one is allowed to disclose it to the outside world.

When things came to this point and after learning the news, although Li Qian didn't express the slightest opinion in front of Wang Jinglu, he couldn't help but sighed softly in his heart.

She knew that the once brilliant Five Elements Wusu combination was already facing disintegration.

Because what Mencius said has been verified countless times for thousands of years, and it is absolutely correct.

Mencius said: Do not suffer from few, but suffer from unevenness.

…………

At the end of March, Zhou Ye's solo debut album "Rainy Day" was officially released.

Coinciding with the recording of Liao Liao's new album, Li Qian readily let Liao Liao go to the platform to promote his fellow countryman. This album of Zhou Ye is mainly pop style. There are two love songs in it. Li Qian feels that he is quite high-quality, and the key point is that Zhou Ye's personal high-pitched and bright voice is fully exposed in this album. At least in the domestic music circle, his voice alone is already a must-have. neglected to exist.

It is a pity that although his voice is very distinctive, this album is also well-made, and during the promotion period, there are big coffee friends like Liao Liao who took the initiative to stand up to tout it, but it is reflected in the market sales, but only Can be considered flat.

Moreover, even in the music critics, the evaluation of his album is mixed.

Detractors believe that he has an excessive "show voice" on this album, causing his voice to completely mask and suppress the emotion that the song itself needs to convey. The people who praised him believed that such a good voice was what the domestic music scene needed most. It was a loud, high-pitched, man's voice.

Of course, whether it is praise or criticism, the music critics unanimously praised the song "Bending Moon". In an interview with the radio, Zhou Ye also took the initiative to break out the gossip, saying that this song was made by Liao Liao and he invited Sister Liao to join him and made it for him. This is the first show of Liao Liao's behind-the-scenes work. Moreover, according to him, this song was originally reserved by the producer for Sister Liao Liao, and was going to be included in her new album, but later Liao Liao heard that there was still one song missing in her new album, so she generously included this song. Let it go to myself - I have to say, he is very smart, so he took the initiative to let Liao Liao to make the song, and also helped to make it, not only praised Liao Liao, but also directly aroused the curiosity of many fans. At least after hearing the show, everyone will want to know what kind of song this "Bending Moon" is, and what is unique about Liao Liao's so-called behind-the-scenes production debut.

Although in fact, not many fans can hear what Liao Liao left behind in this song, at best, fans with a higher level can feel the atmosphere of this song and the whole album. It's just out of place~www.wuxiaspot.com~ However, "Bending Moon" is still a little popular.

So, beyond the expectations of Zhou Ye and the record company, and beyond Li Qian's expectations, this song actually became the most popular song in Zhou Ye's new album. To a certain extent, for Zhou Ye, who only has this album yet, this song "Bending Moon" can even be said to be his masterpiece.

So, after finishing a few publicity trips, he ran more diligently to Li Qian's studio.

…………

When the time entered April, He Runqing's new album officially completed the production of the studio stage and moved to the later stage.

And at this time, the long-awaited, first album after Zhou Ai's comeback was finally released.

And as soon as it was released, the album immediately set off a sales frenzy. (To be continued.)
