The news that Du Wei was invited by the Seedling Protection Fund and publicly praised by Zhang Guorong spread to the mainland much faster than Li Mu's return.
While he was still flying in the sky, YY had already begun to continuously push news related to Du Wei to users. At the same time, it also pinned and scrolled news posts on Du Wei's post bar, Zhang Guorong post bar and Mo Wenwei post bar, and provided Du Wei through Internet channels. Wei builds momentum.
The mainland people and media have always hoped that mainland China can be recognized by the outside world in all aspects. Therefore, the mainland people respect local companies such as Huawei, DJI, and BYD that have made great achievements overseas. They also respect those mainland companies that go to Hong Kong and even Hollywood to develop. Stars such as Wu Jing, who occupies a place in Hong Kong action movies, and Jet Li, who is well-known in Hollywood. This is not because the mainland people have inferiority complex, but because they have a sense of national identity as they are constantly exposed to the wider world. This sense of national identity leads them to need more national pride to maintain their enthusiasm for the nation and country.
Du Wei can be recognized by Leslie Cheung, which is extremely useful to the mainland people. It can be said that so many stars from the mainland have gone to Hong Kong to develop, but except for Wang Fei, who has become a queen, no one can get the top spot in Hong Kong. The celebrity has such high praise, so when Zhang Guorong's video of the nursery protection fund was posted online, Du Wei suddenly received great attention from domestic netizens.
When Li Mu's plane landed in Yanjing, many TV stations reported Zhang Guorong's admiration and praise for Du Wei, so that Du Wei suddenly became a star carrying the public's national pride.
However, what makes Li Mu somewhat curious is that after being intensively exposed by the media for a period of time when 3321 started, he has not attracted much attention from the media in the following period, and the media rarely reports on things related to him. , I gave Hong Kong entertainment reporters a collective climax last night on the stage of the Seedling Protection Fund dinner. As a result, the mainland media didn't even bother to say a word. All their attraction to this incident was focused on Du Wei. body.
Du Wei became popular again, and her post bar was flooded with a large number of new fans. Not only did the number of trial downloads of her three songs surge, but even her starring role in "Oldboy" became popular again.
In addition to the large number of fans gathered in Tieba, some TV stations also began to keenly seize the opportunity and began to temporarily rebroadcast the "Oldboy" micro-movie. After selling the first broadcast rights of the rebroadcast to Hunan Satellite TV, Li Mu completely took over the copyright of "Oldboy" Now that the ban has been lifted, any TV station in the country can rebroadcast "Oldboy" at will. As long as the broadcasting unit guarantees not to delete the plot, and Makino Imaging does not charge a penny in copyright fees, they can broadcast it however they want.
In the taxi when Li Mu returned to Zhongguancun from the airport, the host on the car radio was still eloquently describing what happened in Hong Kong last night. His tone was as if he was also present, and Du Wei was told a lot. After that, the radio station began to play Du Wei's songs, and it was a triple broadcast that surprised Li Mu.
Du Wei only had these three songs, but they were all played on the radio station in one go.
This made Li Mu sigh in his heart, it was time to prepare some more songs for Du Wei. Her current number of works could not keep up with her current popularity.
What Du Wei needs most now is to develop steadily in the mainland market. Li Mu has never been prepared to let her go to Hong Kong to develop. Zhang Guorong values Du Wei so much. In Li Mu's eyes, it is not a good opportunity for Du Wei to go to Hong Kong to develop. It is a good opportunity for Du Wei to switch from export to domestic sales.
Throughout modern times, Chinese people have had a low self-esteem and repression at the international level, which has led to a century-long admiration for foreign countries. Although Hong Kong has been returned to China for five years, to be fair, to Chinese people, it can still be equated with foreign countries. If If Du Wei can be recognized in the Hong Kong market, it will be easier for her to be recognized by the domestic people.
If he wants to be recognized by the Hong Kong market, it is not enough to rely on Zhang Guorong's strong praise. Du Wei must have works that can gain a firm foothold in the Hong Kong market.
Therefore, Li Mu's idea is that while Du Wei is about to become a new focus in the entertainment industry, he must prepare two more songs for Du Wei as soon as possible, and at least one of them must be a Cantonese song. Li Mu has many songs in his mind, including those from mainland China. , Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan, even Japan, Korea, Europe and the United States, there are a lot of good songs, but now you must be careful and appropriate when choosing songs. If you choose well, one song can lift your weight with ease. If you choose poorly, one song Good songs can be quickly buried in the wrong era.
There is a national treasure-level female singer Adele in the UK. She is probably only a girl of thirteen or fourteen now. Her song "Rolling-in-the-Deep" has swept the world and almost all music charts and charts. He has won multiple Grammy awards, but in Li Mu’s view, if this song did not have a strong Internet background, it would be impossible to rise to the heights of later generations. I don’t know how many people imitated and covered this song on major video websites. , countless talent show contestants are also singing this song. If Du Wei were to sing this song now, it would probably be difficult to cause a big response.
Taylor Swift also has a lot of high-quality original songs. When her time came, she was also a popular female singer around the world, but now her songs are still not practical.
Li Mu gave up the idea of English songs, and decided to choose from Chinese songs. There were two directions in total, Mandarin and Cantonese.
Li Mu thought about it all the way, and various Cantonese and Mandarin songs from later generations came to mind. One by one, they sang in Li Mu's mind, and one after another was rejected by Li Mu.
There are indeed many good songs, but at this time, I haven’t found any that can be used to make a fortune.
When he was about to get off the bus, "Our Memory Album" by Hong Kong group Twins suddenly played on the radio. Thinking of this group, the first keyword that came to Li Mu's mind was the queen of the next stop!
At the moment, the Twins are just newcomers. The song "Next Stop Queen" is their first real hit song. It is also this song that really puts them in the position of first-line stars and makes them completely popular. It became popular on both sides of the Taiwan Strait and in three places. Almost at that moment, Li Mu recognized that this song was the song he was looking for for Du Wei. It was an easy song!
There is nothing more suitable than this song for Du Wei to serve as a stepping stone to the Hong Kong music scene. This song itself is very Hong Kong-specific. The next stop is Queen. Queen of Queen is actually the name of a subway station in Hong Kong, but because of its special name, It has two meanings. It can be said that the next stop is the Queen of Heaven, or it can be said that the next stop will be the Queen of Heaven. The name clearly indicates the goal, and there are many local elements of Hong Kong in this song, such as: Station In front of Daimaru, I looked carefully at my road. Daimaru is the Daimaru Department Store in Causeway Bay, Hong Kong. In the following sentence "Lovers on Paterson Street", Paterson Street is also a place name in Hong Kong, combined with the word "Tian Hou". The words with puns will definitely feel quite familiar to Hong Kong people.
From the perspective of music creation, "Next Stop Queen" can only be a small song with a simple melody and simple soundtrack. It is not very atmospheric. It is not as majestic as Beyoncé and Celine Dion in Europe and the United States. If you pick out any song at random, they are all big songs with complex modalities, frequent key changes, majestic and soul-stirring songs. However, this is also a characteristic of the Chinese music scene, especially the Chinese female songs. It has a very Xiaojiabiyu, warm and heartfelt feeling, and This song is also very suitable for Du Wei's image and temperament. Since Twins can reach the top of the first-line group with this song, Du Wei will definitely be able to make a strong entry into the Hong Kong music scene with this song, and even put this song on the level of Twins on the basis of raising it to another level.
In terms of vocal foundation, even if the Twins are two people together, there is still a SHE between them and Du Wei, and Du Wei's vocal conditions have not been fully developed yet. If she can be exposed to more advanced pop music Her future will be even more limitless if she sings better and masters more different styles of music. Wang Fei has spent half of her career imitating the lead singer of The Cranberries, but she can still become a Chinese-speaking queen. Li Mu believes that if Du Wei is given enough Given time and opportunity, her future achievements will definitely be higher than Wang Fei's.
In addition to the song "Next Stop for Queen", Li Mu also planned to pair Du Wei with two more Mandarin songs. However, given that the existing three songs and "Next Stop for Queen" are all slow and lyrical songs, Li Mu intended to pair Du Wei with two more Mandarin songs. Wei chose one or two fast-paced songs. The first song that Li Mu thought of was "The First Day" by Stefanie Sun. This song was written by Mayday's lead singer Ashin for Stefanie Sun. It has a bit of a pop rock style. The song was a good song, and it was widely sung by later generations, but Li Mu didn't know how well Du Wei could control such songs.
After selecting these two songs, Li Mu couldn't wait. Du Wei estimated that he would have to stay in Hong Kong for a few days before coming back. The online reporters he had sent there in the past few days would continuously send back the latest news, in conjunction with YY's promotion. Ability, Du Wei's popularity can be improved. After she comes back, he will have to take her into the studio for a sound audition as soon as possible. If she has no problem with these two songs, then she will record them and release them as quickly as possible. go out.
Li Mu's plan is that if these two songs can become an instant hit, he will definitely get eight to ten songs for Du Wei this year, release her first album, and plan a movie for her this year "Girls We Chased Together in Those Years" is an album full of high-quality songs and a big movie that leads the wave of campus youth movies. If done properly, it can directly push Du Wei to the level of a first-line star in the three places across the Taiwan Strait. Apart from anything else, she will definitely be able to bring huge help to the development of Makino Image by then!
I've been busy with work lately, and the weekend is still far away from my seven-day shift. However, I'm still looking for every opportunity I can find to write more words and update more. Among part-time writers, I should be the one who is busier with my job, and I should also be the one who updates. We are the ones who work harder at coding, so please give me more support, and I would be very grateful if you can give me more monthly passes or something like that!
