What happened at school made Chen Minhao feel that he was a bit Mercury retrograde.
After all, time travel had happened, and Chen Minhao felt that there might really be luck involved. Then I was so successful at the Golden Melody Awards that I spent all my luck:
At the Golden Melody Awards, I was unexpectedly nominated and won two awards, which was very satisfying. After the Golden Melody Awards aired, public opinion about his double nomination and double win was overwhelmingly applauded, with almost no doubts.
On Friday, Kang returned to Kyoto for a business trip, and she and Chen Minhao made an appointment to meet at a private cafe next to the school.
Chen Minhao felt that Kang Hui's mood was a little low, so he decided to talk about something that might make Kang Hui happy: "Sister Kang, you guys are so awesome. I see that there are basically no voices of doubt or even opposition on the Internet."
Kang Hui flipped his hair and said: "Actually, this is quite unexpected, because we basically don't spend much effort on Weibo to control comments. The public opinion is full of encouragement and support. In short, Most of them tend to be positive.”
Kang Hui said with a strange expression: "And our review tends to suppress your fans. Some of your fans are a bit swollen, and some fans started clamoring: If an album is released, it may win the best album of the year at the Golden Melody Awards. It's all yours.
But you don’t have to worry too much, most of your fans are still rational fans. Moreover, I have asked Wu Xiaoshuang and Su Yan to handle the internal management and operation of fans. There should be no such arrogant statements in the short term.
All in all, the prospects are bright. "
Chen Minhao couldn't see the joy of the bright future from Kang Hui's face. He only saw her frowning and saying:
"When you won the Golden Melody Award for Best Song of the Year at first, I was shocked. I was worried that someone would come to troll you.
In the end it turned out to be a false alarm. In the past few days, Su Yan, Wu Xiaoshuang and I have reviewed and reflected on the performance, and public opinion is generally positive: On the one hand, when you won the best hit of the year, your speech was relatively modest. On the other hand, I found that I had entered a misunderstanding. "
Kang Hui lit a cigarette and said: "Actually, I have a shortcoming, that is, I have never had a decent singer, let alone an artist who can be nominated for the Golden Melody Award. So I have a deep understanding of records and the music industry. I don’t know much about the gameplay, so I can only use the entertainment industry as a benchmark.
In the entertainment industry, if an actor is close to winning a Grand Slam, but if he picks up another trophy, many people will criticize him, and fans of his competitors will tease him secretly. "
Kang blew back a smoke ring and said: "You now have 27 million fans. In the entertainment industry, they are still far from the top level, but they are basically active fans, but your fans are cohesive." , combat effectiveness is famous.
For example, Xia Mingyi currently has 9.8 million fans, while Ni Yiyun only has 5.5 million. Fans of singers who don't sell their personas or appear in variety shows are basically free fans. Those fans don't even bother to do data. With all due respect, even if they have fans who want to rip you off, their management company will immediately jump out to oppose it, because they really can't rip you off, and there's nothing to rip off. "
Chen Minhao took a sip of coffee and thought to himself: I have come such a long way without realizing it. From being a little transparent at the beginning, I have now become a big and small figure.
Kang Hui glanced at Chen Minhao and roughly guessed what Chen Minhao was thinking. She looked at Chen Minhao coldly and said, "I'm not telling you this to make you feel how awesome you are, but to let you understand a fact. : The Chinese music scene has declined.
More than 10 years ago, people had relatively few entertainment options. Many middle school and high school students used notebooks to copy lyrics for entertainment. There were many video stores on the street at that time. If a classmate had an MP3 player to listen to music, he would be considered a rich man in the eyes of others. . You can recall that the music scene at that time was full of stars. "
"Nowadays, with such diversified entertainment methods, there is increasingly no way out for pure singers. Take Xia Mingyi and Ni Yiyun, for example. They are two of the top new blood in the singing industry in the past few years.
Fortunately for Xia Mingyi, he often appears in variety shows and has some fans, so his digital album can sell about 200,000 copies. As for Ni Yiyun, he does not appear in variety shows, does not accept interviews, does not update Weibo, and the album has sold at most 100,000 copies. I still have some doubts about the water content of this data. In fact, with such data, to be honest, it is difficult to make money. "
Chen Minhao thought for a while and said: "The KTV system supplier compensated me 3 million yuan. The singer's digital album income is only part of it."
Kang Hui rolled his eyes and said: "On the one hand, it's because they infringed the law first. On the other hand, in a sense, 3 million is to pay for the three words Chen Minhao, not for the word "Father". Song. If you were a little-known musician, would they readily give you money
Moreover, you are an exception and you are not included in the topic I am discussing today. "
Kang Hui said profoundly: "It is true that the income from digital albums is only a part, but for a person who has tasted the benefits of variety shows and TV series, will he still concentrate on making music? After all, the entertainment industry is mainly business, and you can do whatever you want to make money.
The current Chinese music scene is unhealthy. A well-polished album may not be able to sell as much as those who rely on their reputations and variety shows. I checked a few of them and they are fans of them. Their electronic album sales have exceeded 100,000.
Maybe if this continues, there won't be any songs left in the Chinese music scene. I specially made a statistics. In the NetEase Cloud Music hot song list, the proportion of non-Chinese songs is increasing. "
Chen Minhao felt that the topic was a bit heavy, and his heart was heavy, but he still tried his best to show a smile and said: "The music scene is empty now, unlike more than ten years ago when there were so many talents, there were no tigers in the mountains, and the monkey was the king. I have caught up with the good times. "
Kang Hui chuckled and said: "Whether the times create heroes or heroes create times is an unanswerable answer.
Your composition and lyrics are both good. In Wu Hongrong’s words, this is God’s reward. Your popularity and face are nothing to mention. Maybe this is the worst of times, maybe this is the best of times.
Chen Minhao, do you want to be a hero who makes a difference? I think we can try to influence the recording industry and make it better. "
Kang Hui's eyes were shining when he said this.
In fact, every man has a heroic dream in his childhood. He can not only destroy the evil dragon, win the heart of the princess, but also punish evil organizations and save the world. But the coldness of the real world wiped out the initial enthusiasm in my heart.
Chen Minhao felt heavy when she heard Kang Hui talk about the decline of the Chinese entertainment industry, but when she asked Chen Minhao if he wanted to be a hero who made a difference, Chen Minhao actually felt a little excited.
But the decline of an industry cannot be solved by one person, let alone by Chen Minhao copying a few songs.
When Kang Hui saw that Chen Minhao was silent, he laughed at himself and said, "Did you suddenly think that I am childish?"
Chen Minhao shook his head, looked at Kang Hui and said, "I just think your life is very hard. A person with an idealistic core has lived a life of refined egoism."
