Fei Yang's song is called "Brahma Star".
The song title is a bit confusing, but the content is indeed very mainstream and the quality of the song is absolutely top-notch.
The catchy melody is interspersed with several sets of stunning chords, and the chorus is very memorable...
At 00:15 on the first morning of May, Chen Zhiyu was in despair.
In terms of quality alone, "Brahma Star" is undoubtedly excellent.
The level of composition and the singing by the king of singers make this song no less excellent than "Change Yourself" in every aspect!
To be precise, they are on par with each other.
Yes, Chen Zhiyu feels that the quality of his song is comparable to Fei Yang's "Fanxing".
But…
Chen Zhiyu's popularity cannot be compared with Fei Yang!
When it comes to singers making it to the charts, it’s not just the quality of the song that counts, it’s also the singer’s fame!
If the quality of "Change Yourself" crushes Fei Yang, even if Chen Zhiyu's popularity is not as good as the king of singers, he still has hope of a comeback.
But if the two songs are of similar quality, the singer with more popularity will definitely win!
Before, Chen Zhiyu lost because of luck.
This time, Chen Zhiyu felt that he was going to lose in popularity.
It's like two movies of the same quality...
Other factors such as publicity are not taken into account.
The box office of a movie starring the best actor will be higher than that of a movie without the best actor!
And it’s more than a little bit higher!
Liu Mou appeared at Chen Zhiyu's residence and whispered, "What do you mean?"
Chen Zhiyu raised his head, looked at Liu Mou, and said with a wry smile: "The quality is about the same, but the popularity is too different."
"What about the others?"
Liu Mou was asking about the quality of the works of two other first-line singers.
"I've listened to them all. I'm probably second."
Chen Zhiyu has already developed rich experience in judgment, and his judgment can accurately predict the future every time.
Unfortunately, predicting the future does not mean you can change it.
at this time.
Chen Zhiyu's "Change Yourself" has also been released. The comment section of the song has received rave reviews. Some people were even surprised to find that the lyrics and music of this song were actually written by Xianyu!
"Wait, the lyrics and music are... Envy Fish?"
"Wow, it's actually a song written by Xianyu. No wonder I felt that Chen Zhiyu's new song is better than his previous songs!"
“Very good!”
"Have you listened to Fei Yang's song?"
"Fei Yang's song is also impeccable. Fei Yang performed normally."
"Is it a stone hammer that I will always be the runner-up?"
"It's already been confirmed. Champions come and go, but runners-up are always there!"
"… "
Sand sea entertainment.
The company group that was once dead because Chen Zhiyu's character as the eternal runner-up was completely out of the circle, was awakened today after a long absence -
"Did you hear it?"
"Are you talking about the song 'Chen Zhiyu Second'?"
"Hahahaha what the hell is "The Second Chen Zhiyu"."
"Pfft, this group of people are actually alive. Is Chen Zhiyu your starter switch..."
"It turns out I'm not the only one who didn't sleep! Hahahaha, I laughed my ass off. Not only did Chen Zhiyu get into Xingmang, he also collaborated with Xianyu!"
"It should have been a foolproof rhythm, but it just happened to run into King Feige!"
"Xianyu: I can't take it with me."
"Xianyu: Sorry, I can't control this."
"Chen Zhiyu is really miserable. The quality of Xianyu's song is already very good. It is also a normal performance. It is not worse than Fei Gewang's work at all. However, Chen Zhiyu lacks popularity. Fei Gewang's popularity is too high."
“It’s a rare occasion where the quality was equal, but in the end it was overwhelmed by popularity.”
"Chen Zhiyu: What do you mean? You're standing opposite me, and you're hitting me hard, hanging me up and beating me! You're no match for me as a teammate, so you, the fish?"
"… "
The composers of Sha Hai were happy, with this brilliant victory, Chen Zhiyu and Xian Yu were defeated at the same time!
Although some people's words were a bit rough, it is true that Xianyu could not wash off Chen Zhiyu's second label even though he tried.
The iron second in command, Chen Zhiyu is as steady as a dog!
…
Also late at night, many of Qin Qi’s music critics listened to the new season’s hit songs for the first time.
Zhang Qi is a music critic.
In addition to the popular title of music critic, Zhang Qi also has another identity, that is, the vice president of the Lao Qinzhou Music Association.
The latter identity is much more valuable than the former one, and it also makes the former one more important.
at this time.
Zhang Qi had just finished listening to "Fan Xing" and showed a satisfied look on his face: "As expected of the singer I voted for, Fei Yang's songs are still as strong as ever... It seems that this champion song will not be lost, this time Qin Sheng wins!"
Qin and Qi merged.
The current new song chart is no longer as valuable as before, because now it not only has local singers and composers from Qin Province competing on the chart.
There are also those from Qi Province.
Musicians from both places competed together for this list, which led to a qualitative improvement in the quality of this list!
As a local, Zhang Qi certainly hopes that the singer from Qin Province can take first place.
Previously, a singer from Qi Province won first place. Although the composer was also from Qin Province, Zhang Qi always felt a little uncomfortable.
After all, people still have some regional concepts.
Even after the Qin and Qi merged, this regional concept still existed in the hearts of many people.
"Listen to another song."
Zhang Qi glanced at the new song list and finally clicked on Chen Zhiyu's song with a faint smile on his face: "Always the runner-up..."
Chen Zhiyu's reputation as the perennial runner-up is well known in the circle.
Although Zhang Qi, a man in his forties, doesn't like to play memes like the young people, he can't help but find this interesting.
"The song is called "Change Yourself" and the lyrics and music are..."
Zhang Qi suddenly raised his eyebrows.
Envy!
I didn’t expect that this song was actually written by Xianyu for Chen Zhiyu.
Envy fish...
In Zhang Qi's mind, this is one of the composers most likely to become Qu Dad in the future!
Zhang Qi's sense of anticipation was suddenly raised.
Click Play.
Chen Zhiyu's signature, slightly relaxed and magnetic voice came to my ears:
"I woke up this morning and looked in the mirror and suddenly realized that my hair was a little KUSO from sleeping..."
Zhang Qi was happy.
The style of the song is very interesting and makes people feel relaxed when listening to it.
As for "kuso", it seems to be a dialect from a certain continent
The song continues: "A little change can make a big difference. The power of you and me can change the world..."
Zhang Qi nodded.
This song is very good.
Even before listening to the main song, Zhang Qi already had a rough judgement that the singer and the instruments were well combined and the arrangement was a plus.
By the way, the arrangement is also enviable...
While I was feeling emotional, the song in my ears was still singing:
"I've been feeling annoyed lately, and my mood has been very low. Every day when I watch the news, I want to scream loudly, but swearing is useless, and people will just think I'm being mean. I changed myself and found a big difference..."
This is a song about your mood
Zhang Qi seemed to be thinking about something.
Chen Zhiyu must be as depressed as everyone else is when they talk about the topic of "eternal runner-up".
The lyrics reflect this matter vividly.
From this perspective, the song "Xianyu" was tailor-made for Chen Zhiyu.
The song has entered the transition part here:
“Friends of the new generation, let’s work hard and say la la la la la loudly together…”
The main song comes naturally.
"I can change the world, change myself, change my barriers and my stinginess. I have to keep working hard and never give up, only then can I change the world and myself!"
Zhang Qi's smile blossomed completely!
Good composition and good singing make a good song!
He likes this song!
Although he is not young anymore, Zhang Qi always has a young mentality. This kind of relaxing and nice song is undoubtedly very much in line with Zhang Qi's aesthetic!
at this time.
The second verse begins.
Zhang Qi listened with a smile, as if he was bathed in the spring breeze and felt the sunshine on his face.
"A little change makes a big difference. Your and my passion can change the world. I can only represent myself, not politically, even if this world makes me very nervous..."
Zhang Qi's smile suddenly paused.
The muscles that had been relaxed suddenly became tense.
"etc… "
He suddenly realized something, and there was a hint of shock in his eyes!
Of course the song didn't stop just because he said wait, the singing continued until the whole song was over.
And at this time.
Zhang Qi couldn't help but stand up from his seat.
He whipped out his phone, clicked on the profile picture of an old friend, and quickly sent a message: "I recommend you to listen to "Change Yourself."
The other party asked: "New song?"
Zhang Qi typed seriously: "It's not just new songs, let's talk after listening."
The other party replied: "Okay."
Zhang Qi took a deep breath, then put on the headphones at hand and listened to "Change Yourself" again.
Listening to this song again with a different mood and thoughts, Zhang Qi's feelings are completely different!
"Sure enough..."
He murmured.
At this moment, the phone suddenly vibrated continuously.
Zhang Qi picked up the phone and saw that it was an old friend calling.
He gave a complicated laugh and answered the phone: "Did you hear it?"
The other party said firmly: "I want this song!"
Zhang Qi didn't seem surprised: "Great, right?"
The other party's tone was a little excited: "The lyrics and music are first-rate, and most importantly, this song sings about Qin Qi's current situation..."
That’s right, this song is about Qin Qi’s current situation!
Since the merger of Qin and Qi, the lives of people in the two places have undergone earth-shaking changes.
Overall it's good.
But, there are some bad things too.
Regional concepts and vague cultural barriers still exist!
And what is "Change Yourself" about
Zhang Qi said with emotion: "At first I thought this song was just about the singer talking about changing himself, but later I realized that I thought too simply about it. What is changing yourself? This song has a deep meaning, and the lyrics and music are very pointed! For example, the line "Every day when I watch the news, I want to scream loudly" I didn't think much about it at first, but later I thought about it, isn't this referring to the news about the merger of Qin and Qi?"
The other party gave a consistent opinion: "Changing yourself makes a big difference. The new generation of friends should work hard. The merger of Qin and Qi will usher in a new era... Changing the barriers and changing the pettiness, I feel ashamed to hear this. We are all Blue Star people, but when we merge, we still regard Qin and Qi as separate in our hearts... In the final analysis, we are still not united enough. There is still a barrier between the people of the two places. The officials of the two places are indeed petty. The cultural wall is the pettiest self-protection strategy..."
"So am I."
Zhang Qi smiled bitterly: "I don't have a political stance, even though this world makes me very nervous and I have to adjust myself... Is this "I" really referring to myself as a singer? It's referring to us, to everyone in both places..."
"Every word is from my own perspective, but what I'm singing about is not myself at all."
The voice of an old friend also expressed emotion: "Everyone thought that everything would be fine if Qin and Qi merged, but no one was willing to admit that there were some contradictions between the two places. I clearly heard the irony in this song. The lyrics and music are very bold, but I like it very much."
"What do you mean?"
“I’ll promote this song.”
"You take care of the official stuff, and leave the music reviews to me. Songs like this shouldn't just be viewed as pop songs. The lyrics and music have already expressed the sentiments, and we shouldn't turn a deaf ear to them."
“As it should be.”
After hanging up the phone.
Zhang Qi opened the computer document and typed the following words with some excitement: "Is it the world that needs to be changed, or is it us as individuals? After the great fusion of Blue Star, what should everyone do? Listen to this song, maybe you will understand..."
