Will records die? As Chen Muyi has always said, records are dying. The birth of a record once recorded the fierce competition around all this, the romantic feelings of wanting to achieve success and the glory of the era when sound was king. But just as people will grow from birth to adolescence, from adolescence to middle age, and from middle age to old age, CDs and tapes will eventually become antiques like vinyl records, sealed in this period of history.
This is exactly the period when this process emerges and changes. In Asia Pacific, Europe and the United States, the concept of digital music has been proposed, and people have seen the front of this storm. Therefore, when this huge school of fish is at the port of life and death, there will always be some pathfinders who try to touch the boundary of this surging flow, and use their own past experiences to point to the direction of the trend.
Therefore, the idea that Cheng Ran gave to Qin Xizhen is not unique in this era. At least some pioneers have already started working in this area.
However, following steps and feeling one's way across the river are completely different concepts from Cheng Ran Tianxing Music, a whole system that comes from another dimension and has mature ideas, structure, and planning.
The traditional record industry will inevitably decline and die out, and the major domestic manufacturers will eventually experience the process of feasting guests and then gradually collapsing. An industry will end, but the human needs it carries will exist in another form.
It is said that records will die, but music will never die.
In the future, the digital wave will sweep the world and quickly impact the market. The traditional record industry will quickly collapse in this wave. Although the physical record industry in Europe and the United States has been impacted, it is not so bleak. This is attributed to strict intellectual property protection, the maturity of the performance market, and as the origin of the world's Internet, they can quickly master the rules and adapt. Therefore, some musicians can still make money by releasing songs.
But the Chinese music scene couldn't handle it. It didn't have the mature mechanism of the European and American markets, especially the American market. Even the major record companies that now had a large number of star artists and a "bright star" reputation, whether it was Warner, Sony, Fumao, Universal, these big players that once occupied the top of the Chinese music scene, were helpless in the end and were beaten to pieces. Even the kings and queens ended up with no sales.
Qin Xizhen not only wants to make music, she also wants to do something for music, so Tianxing Music not only needs to prepare for the digital wave in advance, but also needs to leave some seeds under the impact of drastic changes in the future.
Cheng Ran couldn't help but think of the cover of Qin Xizhen's new album, which was the last ray of light at dusk.
The woman stood there. Between the dark sky and the gray earth, there was only her barefoot figure in a shirt and shirt. She seemed to catch the sinking sky.
That was a golden age that was coming to an end.
That was the past ten years of glory and the wandering after the falling leaves.
Can she catch it
…
Tenth Middle School welcomed the start of a new school term. Zhu Xu did not have a very happy holiday, although he was still the pride of his parents, and the banquets he participated in with his parents during the holiday made his parents very proud in the circle.
Although when he was introduced as the third in the grade of No. 10 Middle School, his father always expressed a stern and dissatisfied attitude, saying that it was not right for him not to get the first place, which often made all parties at the dinner party sigh and persuade and express admiration and envy.
There was even a deputy department-level official who suggested that his daughter should get in touch with him more often and that the two families should visit each other more often. His modesty, peace and reasonableness in dealing with people led a well-known elder to assert that this son of the Zhu family would have a bright future. His second uncle, who lived in Beijing and was the most senior in the family, called from his office full of redwood to inquire about his future. He thought that with his excellence, he could consider going to the RUC National People's Congress to study for a bachelor's and master's degree under a master's guidance and participate in the social CNDA data survey of the other party's listed projects. It would be hard, but he believed that he was smart and could endure hardships. After several large-scale tracking and cross-sectional survey projects led by the National Government Statistics Institute came out, he had this experience, and the ministries and commissions that needed talents in this area in the future would definitely be eager to recruit talents.
Zhu Xu spent most of his vacation surrounded by such praise and expectations, as well as comments from outsiders that his life was worth it to have a son like him with excellent grades and a bright future.
However, only Zhu Xu knew how he had survived this period of time.
If that hadn't happened, then there would be nothing wrong with such a daily holiday routine for him, and he would calmly enjoy the praise from all sides. However, this time... he was not in the mood to do so.
There are two completely different levels of difficulty: a person who is in the top ten in the grade and gets second place. A person who is ranked outside the top 80 in the grade and gets second place are two completely different levels of difficulty. The former person stands at that height, knows the direction, knows his own shortcomings, knows all the mistakes and errors that should not be made, and gets second place in the top ten. This is what Zhu Xu has done before, so this is what he can do.
However, in the latter case, when you are ranked in the 80s, you have never seen what the highest mountain looks like, what the best scenery looks like, and you can't even fully examine and understand your own abilities and inabilities. Then, the difficulty of being promoted from the 80s to the second place is more than an order of magnitude. Zhu Xu thought that this was something he could never do.
But what he couldn't do, someone else did.
This is the most powerless thing.
It was like Jiang Hongshao, who had always been in front of him. Although she was only a neck away from him, she seemed like a cliff across the world.
For a master like him, such a thing is like a flaw in his heart that can never be filled.
Zhu Xu, who had been in this state of mind for the entire holiday, seemed to have some changes because of the sudden school period.
On the bus to No. 10 Middle School, he got on the No. 19 bus, which was the third stop away from the starting station, and suddenly he saw the girl sitting in the row next to the back door of the bus.
The girl was wearing a simple dress and a white T-shirt, and was sitting by the window. When he got on the bus, she probably glanced in his direction, then turned to the window with an indifferent expression.
There was only one seat left next to her on the bus, but boys would stand by her and hold the handrail instead of sitting next to her. Some boys were paying attention to her quietly.
Zhu Xu sat down in the seat next to her. She didn't look at him, but sat a little closer to the inside to leave space for him, always looking out the window, while Zhu Xu glanced at her profile.
Suddenly... I felt that there might be someone who was inferior to Jiang Hongshao.
Although the two sat together, neither of them spoke to the other. After several stops, the girl did not get off the bus, so Zhu Xu felt that his guess was getting closer and closer. He finally spoke up, "Don't you have to wear uniforms in your school?"
The girl turned around to confirm that it was her she was talking to, and then she said, "I went to register on the first day."
Zhu Xu thought for a moment and asked, "So, you are a freshman in high school?"
The girl shook her head and said with some indifferent politeness, "I transferred to this school."
Although the girl was just being polite, they still started chatting. After all, Zhu Xu was very eloquent, and when he wanted to chat with someone, he was able to find the right level to make people not feel disgusted and trust him. It turned out that she was not only transferring to another school, but also transferring to No. 10 Middle School. When Zhu Xu asked if the transfer exam was difficult, and casually asked about her test scores, after listening to the girl, Zhu Xu praised her and said that her scores were probably good enough to rank in the top 50.
Seeing the girl's slightly surprised expression at her possible ranking in No. 10 Middle School, Zhu Xu felt an inexplicable touch in his heart.
Jiang Hongshao is too far away... but right in front of me, she is so close.
After realizing this, Zhu Xu seemed to feel a lot more relaxed. The reason why he cared about Cheng Ran was because Jiang Hongshao was originally number one, and he didn't want to give up the second place who was closest to her.
But now, when it no longer mattered whether he could surpass her, he suddenly felt that he had transcended. The days of chasing were too tiring, and he was tired of it. On the contrary, the woman in front of him, who was no less than Jiang Hongshao, seemed to be the reason why he was once again full of joy about his life in the third year of high school.
He could almost imagine her expression when she was surprised that she was ranked in the top 50 in the 10th Middle School, and suddenly found that he was at the top of the grade in front of her. He could almost see his frequent appearance in front of her, and her cold face gradually crumbling in front of him. He could imagine her standing beside him like a little bird when he was playing basketball or on every hot summer day.
Isn't this what the youth is like when they sang about it with great passion during recitation activities and mentioned it over and over again in their poems
Zhu Xu felt that if he could leave such a vivid mark in his life of senior year in high school, he would have no regrets.
As expected, after his conversation, the girl somewhat let down her guard towards him, and her cold face also revealed the attitude she should have towards a fellow alumnus.
When they got off the platform, walked across the street, and entered the school gate side by side, Zhu Xu saw many surprised faces and shocked expressions of men and women along the way.
Zhu Xu could almost imagine that it wouldn't be long before the news and rumors about him and this girl would spread.
I just wonder if Jiang Hongshao will feel regretful by then
As soon as she entered the school gate, Zhu Xu introduced everything about the school to her and said that he could take her to register for classes. It was okay, as it was his duty to help new students.
After receiving the girl's thanks, Zhu Xu was slightly startled. He saw the man he least wanted to see. He was more than ten meters ahead of them, next to the red pillar of the teaching building.
Then he saw Cheng Ran saw them and his eyes fell on the girl next to him.
When Zhu Xu saw Cheng Ran's gaze, he felt a surge of vanity, thinking that his vision was indeed good. This guy was an unreliable person, and Jiang Hongshao would regret it sooner or later.
Then he saw the girl who had been walking side by side with him just now quickly walked forward, passing through the red shade of the trees in the early morning. Yang Xia came to the man and frowned, "Cheng Ran! Did you take my bus card with you when you left with Yu Xiao yesterday? I knew you would forget it if I lent you the new Panda Card... You two are always unreliable..."
"Also, I just topped up my account, did you use my card today?"
"It doesn't matter if I use it for a while, you are so stingy."
"Give it back to me!... I hate it so much!"
Zhu Xu stood at this end, looking at the girl who had just communicated with him in a polite manner. The slight alienation and indifference that had always been in front of him disappeared, and was replaced by the natural aura of the girl next door.
He suddenly became very solemn.
