This night!
The Chinese music scene was shaken once again by an earthquake.
Baojia Street Band came out of nowhere.
Ru Ke, a former national team singer, quit her job in the national song and dance troupe and came to participate in the Voice of China talent show.
It's somewhat controversial in itself.
In the previous few episodes, apart from showing a strong singing foundation, she did not have any other highlights.
Appearance, perhaps one of them!
However, Ru Ke's serious and low-key attire as a national singer failed to attract everyone's interest.
He can only be considered an ordinary player. He can advance every time but has never been noticed by everyone.
Until this time!
The final to compete for first place in the group!
Ru Ke changed her previous serious and low-key look to become young, cool and avant-garde.
He no longer sings those classic old songs, but instead brings his newly formed band to sing the original rock songs he has written in the past few years!
I hate it!
A rock song about hating the injustice of the world and pursuing dreams.
The name of this song, like the name of the band Bao Jia Jie, became a hot topic for a while.
Millions of people participated in the discussion.
Xue Man commented: "When I said that Professor Wang was an epoch-making singer, I didn't expect that this new era would come so quickly. I didn't expect that a good voice could give birth to so many surprises. I hate this song. I downloaded it immediately and listened to it on repeat for more than ten times before I was still not satisfied."
"This song has the same momentum as "Ashamed", but with a bit more of the subtlety and sentimentality that is unique to women. I like it very much. Ru Ke's high-pitched voice, skilled singing skills, and strong talent are clearly revealed in this song. I can only say that she is worthy of being a top student of the Central Conservatory of Music and a singer of the National Song and Dance Company."
“When Ru Ke sings rock, she is as good as Professor Wang.”
“I am very much looking forward to what surprises these two biggest surprise Chinese rock singers will bring us when Ru Ke and Professor Wang perform on the same stage.”
Many music critics have come out to comment on this song.
Almost all of them are positive reviews.
Whether it’s because of Ru Ke’s background or the song itself.
Anyway, I hardly see any bad comments.
but.
Ru Ke and the Baojia Street Band, however, did not say anything again, nor did they take the opportunity to show their presence and interact with everyone to attract fans.
It was just when Qianqian Jingting uploaded the song that Ru Ke notified her on Weibo.
Then, it was quiet.
Millions of people are talking about them.
They returned to their homes silently and were excitedly discussing the performance with each other.
Yang Zixuan jumped around in the living room excitedly: "Hahaha, did you see me swinging my hands? Handsome, isn't it? Handsome, isn't it? Not inferior to Jiang Yu, right?"
Yan Ru: "Tsk, didn't you see my drum beat? That's cool, Murong Yue isn't as handsome as me."
Xiong Jia and Zhu Qiqi did not participate in the argument. They were tired and sat on the sofa to rest.
Ru Ke poured a cup of tea for everyone, raised the cup, and said with a smile: "We have completed the first step, let's have a drink."
Everyone raised their teacups and drank together.
Yang Zixuan said loudly: "We succeeded!"
Everyone else nodded and looked at Ru Ke.
because.
How should they develop next
They are all clueless and need Ru Ke's guidance.
The Voice is just a temporary stage.
After the band became famous and left the Voice of China stage, what should they do
Should I sign with a big company or a small company, or should I not sign with any company
Before, they hadn’t thought about it carefully because they hadn’t succeeded yet and they hadn’t become famous yet.
Zhu Qiqi, who is already married and has children, asked, "Sister, what are we going to do next? Have you thought about it?"
Ru Ke nodded, glanced at a few people, and said softly: "I have thought about it a long time ago."
Everyone pricked up their ears and listened.
Ru Ke continued, "I want to go the route of an independent band. We will release songs and new albums on Professor Wang's Qianqian Jingting, take on some high-end large-scale commercial performances, hold a few concerts every year, and most of the rest of the time, we will focus on playing music. We will sign a contract tomorrow, and the money we earn will be divided equally among the five of us."
Yan Ru whispered, "If we're an independent band, won't our future development be limited? It's not fair to you, Ru Ke, to split the money equally. You compose and sing, doing the work of several people. We're just accompanying you. I don't want an equal share."
Yang Zixuan also nodded: "Well, we can't split it equally, you take half, and the four of us split it in half!"
Xiong Jia and Zhu Qiqi also agreed with Yang Zixuan's proposal.
"Yes, we split it in half. You're at a huge disadvantage. We don't want it. You can take half."
"Big sister, you take half..."
Ru Ke glanced at everyone, smiled warmly, shook her head and said, "No, listen to me and split it equally. You are already under a lot of pressure following me. It's enough for me to make enough money for myself. I debuted not to make money, I just want to sing the songs I like and do the things I like. You should understand me."
Several people fell silent.
They all knew that Ru Ke had always longed for freedom and to be away from the influence of her family.
I hate this song, a lot of the lyrics are from her heart.
This time, resigning from her job and participating in the draft is Ru Ke's first step towards freedom.
Do what you like, make the music you like, and sing the songs you like!
It was what Ruko wanted.
money
Ru doesn't take it seriously.
Enough to eat and clothe oneself is enough.
Yang Zixuan: "Don't..."
Ru Ke waved her hand to interrupt Yang Zixuan's words: "It's settled. Since we are an independent band, the income may not be that much, and it won't be that stable. I'll give you a little more as compensation. I just want to concentrate on making music and don't want to care about too many mundane things."
"So, we may not have any advertisements or endorsements. At most, we may occasionally attend a performance or hold a concert. The biggest income comes from song downloads and album releases."
Xiong Jia said affirmatively: "I'll listen to you."
Yan Ru: "That's the best. I'm too lazy to deal with so many messy things. Let's just play music!"
Yang Zixuan: "I support you!"
Zhu Qiqi: "That's great. This way I still have time to go home and spend time with my children."
The tone for the future development of the Baojia Street Band has been set by several people!
With everyone's support, Ru Ke smiled again: "Okay, then it's settled. Now everyone take a good rest for a day, and we will continue rehearsing the day after tomorrow. We can't let down our guard, we will strive to win the Chinese championship!"
"good!"
Several people agreed.
Ru Ke looked at her phone and saw on the screen the Weibo message that Wang Qian had just posted, expressing his affirmation of Ru Ke and the Baojia Street Band.
A smile spread across Ru Ke's lips, and she looked at the backstage where Qian Qian was listening quietly.
A refresh!
I hate, listen 289420, download 2410752!
Upload for an hour.
The number of downloaded data exceeded 2.4 million.
Ru Ke looked at Wang Qian who was at the top, Liu Shengnan who was at the second, and Chen Xiaowen who was at the third, and said softly, "It's still far from enough!"
…
The next morning.
Terms like Ru Ke, Bao Jia Street, and I Hate are still being discussed everywhere on the Internet.
Ru Ke’s Weibo account gained three million followers overnight.
The other members of the Baojia Street Band also gained hundreds of thousands of fans.
They all became famous overnight.
certainly.
What attracts most attention is.
Bao Jiajie released a new song on Qianqianjingting, "I Hate".
After one night, the download data soared to more than 6 million, with a trend of breaking 10 million in a single day.
There are still rave reviews on the Internet.
"This song is really nice. It has a rock and roll feel that is different from Professor Wang's. Ru Ke is such a pleasant surprise."
“When Ru Ke performed live, I was shocked as soon as she opened her voice. I was thinking, who is this?”
"This year's Voice of China, every show has surprises, and the final is absolutely thrilling. Let's get started."
"I thought that in the end it would be Chen Xiaowen and Professor Wang who would compete, but now Ru Ke and Bao Jiajie have come out to fight. It's so exciting."
"This song is the second best Chinese rock song I have ever heard. The first is Professor Wang's "Shame on Me", and the second is Ru Ke's "I Hate You."
"Download support!"
…
Tengfei held another emergency meeting early in the morning.
Lao Wang was furious and said, "Why didn't you sign Ru Ke?"
No one spoke.
All the senior executives present remained silent.
Everyone knows the seriousness of the matter, and no one wants to take the blame at this time.
Lao Wang glanced at everyone and said seriously, "Are you all deceived by the current illusion of prosperity? Recently, our Tengfei's revenue has increased, and the data has also increased significantly. But who brought this about? It was Wang Qian! After Wang Qian broke the record in Tengfei, the single download data also increased."
"We did start to discover good songs and new talents. However, after Wang Qian and Liu Shengnan left, we still haven't found a new pillar. Originally, Chen Xiaowen had a chance, but she didn't make it and went to Qianqian Jingting. Now, a potential newcomer is rising up and is in Qianqian Jingting again?"
"Why? Please reflect on why this happened."
"Qianqian Jingting, what attracts them?"
"Do you know what Qian Qian Jing Ting represents now?"
"In the minds of users, Qianqian Jingting represents the best music, singers of the top four, and the future!"
"It turns out that with Wang Qian, Liu Shengnan, and Chen Xiaowen, the future of Qianqian Jingting is already terrifying enough. Now, Ru Ke has emerged, and the Baojia Street Band is also in Qianqian Jingting. Once the four of them explode in the future, it will be the time for Qianqian Jingting to take off."
"I don't want to see that day. Now, everyone is trying to find ways to recruit new people or train new ones. I want to see results and hope in a short period of time."
"The meeting is adjourned!"
After saying this, Lao Wang stood up and left.
Jiang Rong stood up and followed Lao Wang into the office, whispering, "Just now, Ru Ke's new song broke through 6 million downloads on Qianqian Jingting. With the number of downloads during the day, it is possible that it will break through 10 million downloads within 24 hours, reaching Chen Xiaowen's level."
Lao Wang sat down, picked up the teacup and took a big sip of tea, then said in a deep voice: "This Ru Ke, is she the potential newcomer you mentioned last time?"
Jiang Rong nodded regretfully: "Yes, last time when Ru Ke performed with Professor Wang, I noticed her potential and wanted to win her over in advance. Unfortunately, I offered her very good conditions at that time, but she didn't respond to me. I wanted to go to Xihu City to meet her in person, but unfortunately I didn't make an appointment."
"She is similar to Wang Qian, and seems to ignore outside voices and contacts. People like her are the most difficult to deal with. They are the same type as Liu Shengnan, Chen Xiaowen, and Wang Qian. They are talented and relatively pure musicians. Once they decide, they will not change! Maybe this is why she chose to go to Qian Qian Jing Ting. I don't think we can impress her with money. We have to prepare for the worst."
Jiang Rong said this very seriously.
Originally, Qian Qian Jingting's combination of one king and two queens made them very cautious about the future.
Now Qian Qian Jing Ting has one more queen, making it one king and three queens.
The threat has once again been raised several notches.
The most important thing is.
Tengfei has not yet found a new pillar that can compete with any of these four people.
There is no need to mention Wang Qian and Liu Shengnan who have already proven themselves.
However, among the new generation of singers, Jiang Rong cannot find anyone who can compete with Chen Xiaowen and Ru Ke.
Just as Xue Man said.
The new era of Chinese music is coming too fast!
It’s almost time so entertainment companies and platforms are not ready.
Everyone's preferences suddenly changed.
Those popular singers are suddenly not so popular anymore.
Talented singers suddenly became popular.
The new songs that Tengfei has recently released are not the works of popular singers, but the works of powerful newcomers launched by some companies and several independent singers.
The popular singers who dominated the market a few months ago were suddenly eliminated. They could no longer rely on Chow Yun-fat to improve their performance and could only go on variety shows to fool younger fans.
And in the new era of Chinese pop music…
Strength has become the mainstream core!
On the comprehensive strength of singing and composition!
For now, among the new generation of singers, no one can compare with Wang Qian and Liu Shengnan.
Chen Xiaowen also became the most talented new singer after Wang Qian.
Now, Ru Ke has proved through a song that her talent is no less than Chen Xiaowen and is catching up with Wang Qian!
None of these four people belong to Tengfei.
Under the rolling tide of the new era.
How to take off without panic
Lao Wang rubbed his brows and said seriously, "Let's continue to keep in touch with Ru Ke, Liu Shengnan, and Chen Xiaowen. We should also continue to discover our own new talents. How are the preparations for the original competition going?"
Jiang Rong: "The planning proposal is almost done and we will start at the beginning of next month."
Lao Wang nodded: "Yes, the head office will also cooperate with the promotion to create our own new creative king!"
This is a countermeasure discussed by Lao Wang and Jiang Rong. They will hold an original song competition across the entire Internet to encourage originality. Independent singers and contracted singers can all participate!
It must be an original song written by the singer himself and sung by himself before being released. The winner will be determined by the download performance in a single month. The winner will receive a first-line download contract with Tengfei and some cash rewards.
This is definitely a huge prize for a newcomer.
The most important thing.
This original competition organized by Tengfei will also introduce traffic support from the giant companies behind it, increase exposure, strive to attract national attention, and surpass all other platforms, including Qianqian Jingting, in a short period of time.
After talking about the original competition for a while, Jiang Rong asked curiously, "Boss Wang, has the financing for Qianqian Jingting been finalized? Has the head office participated?"
Jiang Rong wanted to know Qianqian Jingting's development plan.
If Tengfei's head office also invests and holds shares, then maybe they will become a family in the future.
It is not uncommon for several major Internet giants to spend money everywhere to occupy positions and invest money on both ends.
Therefore, it is not surprising that mortal enemies suddenly merge into one family.
Lao Wang said calmly, "It has not been decided yet. Wang Qian met with a lot of investors when he returned to Shanghai last time. The valuation has exceeded 4 billion, but he didn't agree to it. It has not been decided yet. People in the industry speculate that he may not want to accept the capital. There are reports that he is contacting banks for mortgage loans. Those investors may be used as tools to raise the valuation."
Jiang Rong smiled and said, "If they don't bring in giants, there will be no traffic entrance, and they will have to rely entirely on themselves to divert traffic in the future. This will be our biggest advantage."
Lao Wang: "This is why we still have a chance of winning. If Qianqian Jingting joins the giant camp and accesses the giant's traffic interface, coupled with financial and publicity support, they will enter a stage of rapid development, and the threat will be raised several levels. Wang Qian is paranoid and refuses to accept capital. He wants to play on his own and doesn't want to be restricted, so his development will slow down. This is our opportunity."
Speaking of this, the two people's tone became a little more relaxed.
It's not as serious as facing an enemy.
If Qianqian Jingting relies solely on Wang Qian, Liu Shengnan, Chen Xiaowen, and Ru Ke to attract traffic in the future, it will definitely be limited and cannot be compared with the giant-level traffic portals.
Moreover, once the works of these four people are not so attractive, the appeal of Qianqian Jingting to users will drop several levels.
Until then…
That was when Qian Qian Jingting fell into trouble.
Tengfei will have the opportunity to swallow Qianqian Jingting in one bite.
…
In addition to Ru Ke and Bao Jia Street Band, and their new songs.
The next week's showdown promoted by The Voice of China has always topped the topic list.
Millions of people participated in the discussion!
because.
The official website of The Voice of China announced a piece of news shortly after the live performance ended last night.
"Next week will be the semi-finals of China's Voice, and the four group champions will compete. The next contestants will be Wang Qian and Chen Xiaowen."
"The two contestants will each perform two shows. In one show, they will invite a guest singer to sing a song together, and in the second show, they will compete alone."
"Let's look forward to the next showdown of The Voice of China."
This piece of news has accumulated tens of millions of likes and reposts, and millions of comments in one night.
The vast majority of people @ed Wang Qian and Chen Xiaowen.
Chen Xiaowen eliminated Lin Bing last time and became the champion of Wang Jingyu's group, which was well deserved. Lin Bing won the first place in the group and eliminated Chen Xiaowen's dream of facing Wang Qian was shattered.
but…
Many people have always thought that the Chinese championship will eventually be a duel between Wang Qian and Chen Xiaowen.
Because the official authorities have always been hyping it up like this.
Unexpectedly...
Wang Qian and Chen Xiaowen faced off in the semi-finals.
One of the two will definitely be eliminated.
Who will miss the finals
"Poor Xiaowen."
"It will be fun if Chen Xiaowen is eliminated early."
"Is it so exciting that Chen Xiaowen and Professor Wang will face off in advance? I am looking forward to it!"
"Hahaha, come on Chen Xiaowen, eliminate Professor Wang."
“This year’s Voice of China is so exciting.”
"Are there any other guest singers? Can each of them sing two songs? That's great. Professor Wang and Chen Xiaowen are my two favorite contestants. I look forward to the performance next week."
"Oh my god, I'm looking forward to next week's show like it's New Year's Day."
"Who will advance? I guess it's Professor Wang."
…
Chen Xiaowen was instantly overwhelmed.
The number of his followers has exceeded nine million, and he has truly secured his status as a top-tier celebrity.
Chen Xiaowen’s Weibo is also extremely lively.
However, Chen Xiaowen never spoke or interacted with anyone, nor did she ask Sun Jing to help manage the account.
She went out to the recording studio early in the morning, still dressed simply.
Sun Jing, along with two assistants, followed.
"Xiao Wen, I didn't expect you to face off against Professor Wang in advance. Are you confident? If you can get past Professor Wang, the most threatening opponent will be Ru Ke's Baojia Street. I don't think she is your match."
Sun Jing asked worriedly.
Chen Xiaowen sat in the car seat, looking outside, tapping the beat with her fingers on the armrest, and said softly: "I don't know, winning or losing is not important, as long as I can sing what I want to sing, it's enough. Senior Ru Ke is my role model, her new song I Hate, I like it very much."
Sun Jing's eyes became more worried.
Recently, Chen Xiaowen has been immersed in music creation. She seems to be obsessed, often absent-minded, and only focuses on music, not caring about anything else.
Sun Jing: "Xiao Wen, who do you want to invite as a guest singer? The company said that no matter who it is, as long as you want, they will invite them at any price."
Chen Xiaowen gently closed her eyes and said calmly: "Can I not have a guest?"
Sun Jing was stunned, then shook her head: "No, this is the program team's rule."
Chen Xiaowen nodded helplessly and said, "Then you guys decide. Invite a male guest. I happened to have an inspiration for a duet last time. I'll work on it in the next few days. It should be pretty good."
Sun Jing's eyes lit up: "That's great. How about Wu Han? He's very popular. If you invite him, he'll be very popular and will attract a lot of attention. He can influence more people to vote for you."
Wu Han
Chen Xiaowen immediately shook her head and said disdainfully, "No! He can't even grasp the pitch and rhythm, what kind of singer is he? I want a real singer, a singer who can sing."
Wu Han is one of the most popular singers.
Chen Xiaowen expressed disdain.
Sun Jing nodded, thought for a moment, and asked, "Then, how about Xiao Yue?"
Chen Xiaowen thought for a moment and said, "His singing skills are too weak and his voice is too soft. No, I think Hu Wenjiang should be the better choice! If you can invite him."
Hu Wenjiang
Sun Jing's eyes widened.
He is also a talented singer.
Been on break for nearly ten years.
Apart from holding a concert every year for old fans, there are almost no other activities.
It’s not that no one invited him to participate in any activities, but that he refused all activities other than concerts, and rested at home peacefully, living a retirement life.
Can the company invite this big shot
…
Early in the morning.
Wang Qian had just gotten up and interacted with the enthusiastic Qin Xuerong for more than half an hour. Then they took a shower together, and another half an hour passed.
On an empty stomach.
Wang Qian was so tired that he asked Qin Xuerong to make breakfast before he could rest.
These two sisters are just like scammers, they stick together as soon as they touch each other.
Wang Qian lay on the bed and took out his cell phone.
Thinking about the official announcement of next week’s competition by The Voice of China.
Wang Qian was wondering, who should I invite
A singer he knew.
Li Qingyao counts as half, but he can't invite Li Qingyao, and Li Qingyao's singing skills are too weak compared to the contestants of this year's Voice of China.
The rest, except for a few mentors and contestants of The Voice of China.
It seems that there is only Liu Shengnan
But.
Liu Shengnan has hardly been in the spotlight recently, and is busy working on her new album.
Wang Qian took out his cell phone and found the phone number Liu Shengnan left when he gave a lecture at Zhejiang University last time and called her.
