The atmosphere of the music festival actually became more lively as it approached the evening. Some fast songs and rock songs were basically the best at livening up the atmosphere. The band Lurking from Zhenyan Records had already successfully proved this point, but when Zhao Le started singing, Xiao Bai was still perked up.
He listened carefully first. As the vice president of Zhenyan Records, he himself was not an ordinary person. He had done a lot and been exposed to many cutting-edge things over the years. These combined into experience and vision. Therefore, in many industry occasions, when someone brought up something, he could react immediately and then discuss it with the other party until he saw that the other party was convinced. This kind of superiority, a kind of pride of being alone on top of a building and looking down on the world, was also because of these qualifications and experiences, which made Xiao Bo praised by many people as having "farsighted vision".
But Xiao Bo found that this song seemed to be more advanced than the cutting-edge styles he knew so far. This kind of song had never appeared in the pop music scene before.
After listening to the main part of the song for the first time, Zhao Le finally opened the playlist at hand, found the lyrics of the song, and listened to them in comparison.
Of course, it is impossible for Zhao Le to sing with the same voice as the original singer of this song. In fact, when Cheng Ran sang it, it was not the original singer either. In comparison, his pronunciation was much clearer. That kind of murmuring singing style was something Cheng Ran could not achieve. He could only highlight the rhythm and content of the song.
As a musician, Zhao Le certainly has the habit of carrying a recorder with him. He was outside making a phone call at the time and the call had actually ended long ago. He just wanted to avoid the embarrassment of returning to the table, so he deliberately smoked a cigarette outside the venue. When Cheng Ran was singing, the first chanting really surprised him... "Candles are lit in the evil night, the sky is broken and the war is stopped, the sad song spreads thousands of miles, and the famine is quelled in my hometown." He felt like the Black Panther band back then. He subconsciously pressed the recorder in his pocket and listened to the entire song behind the tree.
After that, I went back and pondered it more carefully, analyzing each paragraph one by one, and finally dug out the lyrics, structure and music. It was not exactly the same as Cheng Ran's original version, and I changed a lot according to his needs. But this song with a unique style was indeed ripped off.
Zhao Le later presented this song to Wang Zhonghua and invited Wang Zhonghua to arrange the music. Wang Zhonghua was also interested, so he "reluctantly" agreed to Zhao Le's request to sign the arrangement of this song, and further arranged the music according to the rhythm composition. At occasions such as music festivals, Zhao Le sang this song with a deliberately hoarse voice. At least in terms of style, this song immediately caught the ears of people who have hardly experienced this style now.
Especially at night at the music festival, everyone was drinking beer and feeling the atmosphere heating up, and then when a song like this, which was so grand and yet politically correct, came out, the atmosphere immediately became more exciting.
At this moment, not only Xiao Bo from Zhenyan Records, but also all the bands that had performed before or were about to perform next, all looked towards the stage...
Some people frowned, "What's going on? What kind of song is this..."
But at this moment, countless hands were waving on the lawn of the stadium with tens of thousands of people.
"Zhao Le! Zhao Le! Zhao Le! Zhao Le!..."
"Zhao Le, awesome! Zhao Le, awesome!..."
Many band members turned around, and even the Inspiron band, who had just appeared on stage and thought they had already reached the climax of the atmosphere, had to look away at this moment, "This song... is indeed easy to stir people's emotions in this environment..."
In fact, Zhao Le’s ability to reach such a height may not be without the fact that their band used the songs produced with a lot of money by the Zhenyan Company to warm up the atmosphere.
However, sometimes it is a matter of timing that determines the success or failure. Zhao Le has indeed brought the popularity of the music festival to its highest peak today.
At this time, exactly at this time, in the live broadcast room of the music festival on the "City Sound" radio station, the host Wang Shifeng happened to interview Han Lei, who is known as "Han Cannon".
The live broadcast room is located in a room converted from a training room on the first floor of the gymnasium. The screen in the live broadcast room is synchronized with the camera on the stage.
Han Lei had previously spoken out without restraint in the live broadcast room. According to the radio hotline feedback Wang Shifeng received, some people scolded Han Lei, "What kind of person is he! Look at what he said. Why are you so harsh on the Inspiron band? Who are you? You'd better make Han Lei shut his stinky mouth..." There were also people who praised him and made sharp comments, "Teacher Han can often hit the nail on the head. The music industry really needs people like him to lead the way. Not everyone can be called a musician or singer. It's time for some people to show their true colors. We support Teacher Han!"
"Teacher Han could be more sharp. I'd really like to hear his comments on the Aiwangyou band. Recently, this band has been winning awards for its songs one after another..."
At this moment, Han Lei frowned for the first time as he listened to Zhao Le finish singing the song.
Wang Shifeng also turned around and sighed at the surging crowd at the other end of the stadium. At this time, he also explained, "Now we can clearly feel the popularity brought by Zhao Le's song at the scene. I think it is probably the most popular song in today's music festival... What does Teacher Han think of Zhao Le's new song that has never appeared before?"
At this time, Zhao Le's performance of this song had also ended. Wang Shifeng noticed that Han Lei was looking at the lyrics on the playlist. After a moment, he said to the "City Voice" live broadcast microphone that was currently covering the entire southwest province, "I thought Zhao Le only had one album, "Chasing", but after not seeing him for a few years, he actually made a breakthrough in style..."
Wang Shifeng knew that it was not easy for Han Lei to make such a comment. This was the first time today that he had made a positive comment on someone. It was foreseeable that some media following the music festival tomorrow would have titles like "Han Lei publicly admits Zhao Le's progressive style" and "Poisonous-tongued Han Lei has a new respect for Zhao Le!"
After a pause, Han Lei crossed his arms and said sarcastically, "I can't say much about this song. At first I wanted to say it was some kind of nonsense... But after listening to it carefully, especially the second time, I actually started to want to sing along... The idea of this song is very detached. I'm a person who values feelings. After listening to it as a whole, I felt that it was as refreshing as taking a shit... If I said anything unpleasant, I apologize. I'm a vulgar person. I just say what I feel. I just speak the truth..."
Wang Shifeng could only smile bitterly, knowing that Han Lei was the kind of person who would speak in this way. When he said something nice about you, he would definitely insert something that would make your eyelids twitch. After all, he would never feel comfortable when commenting on any musician.
Han Lei paused and said, "But then again, if ten years later, many songs have died and people are too lazy to listen to them... this song may be the last one to survive."
Wang Shifeng was stern, knowing that Han Lei's light words were already a very high evaluation!
At the same time, Chen Yi-bo, another heavyweight music critic who was being interviewed by other radio stations, had a good relationship with Yingchi Entertainment, so he praised Zhao Le to the utmost during the interview. Moreover, facing Han Lei, who had always been "at odds" with him, Chen Yi-bo also praised Han Lei for his rare ability of recognizing and respecting heroes.
The highest level of enthusiasm at the scene, the rare joint support of two major music critics, follow-up reports from various radio stations, and even with Zhao Le's own fame, the reputation seemed to spread in an instant.
"Zhao Le's new song at the Music Festival has a weird style and it made the whole audience excited!"
“The song ‘Hope in the Children’s Eyes’ may be the best song of the festival! It is also a shock to the music world!”
"After lying dormant for many years, Zhao Le's "Pursuit" has returned to the music festival with a bang!"
At the music festival, countless participants recorded Zhao Le's song with portable recorders, played it repeatedly, and then began to spread it to the streets and alleys of Shanhai City.
…
After the first day of the music festival, Xiao Bai returned to the five-star hotel. The tape his assistant brought him contained eight songs that had caused the most popularity at the main venue of the music festival. After Xiao Bai listened to them from beginning to end, he found that it was not that the songs were bad. For example, the songs produced by Zhenyan Records for the two bands met all the elements of pop music... However... it was not surprising!
Because some tracks are still classic songs, they sound pleasant, but the audience probably have heard this feeling of déjà vu somewhere before. He can guarantee that the second band they support privately will not be able to achieve the same effect as Zhao Le today.
So in the end Xiao Bo had to admit that Zhao Le's song was the most cutting-edge, the most special, the most independent, the most unforgettable... and therefore, it might also be the most amazing!
After this music festival, Zhao Le will probably rely on this song, plus the promotion from Yingchi Company, to rise to fame. As for how high he can go... I'm afraid that entering the top 20 of this year's music ranking is not an unattainable goal.
I can only say that this is Yingchi's luck! It's really enviable...
Just as Xiao Bai was pondering all this, his assistant suddenly knocked on the door urgently. Xiao Bai opened the door, looking a little impatient.
But the assistant rushed in immediately, and the first thing he said was, "Boss Xiao, have you heard..."
"There was an accident at the music festival!"
