The homogenization of European and American pop music in recent ten years is also extremely serious!
Personalization is gradually losing.
Most popular songs are very similar, and many of the same elements and characteristics can be found in them.
This is because, like Hollywood movies, pop music is changing into an industrialized and professional assembly line production mode.
Someone has done statistics!
Over the past decade, North American bulletin boards have been listed in the top ten songs, of which more than 90% are the works of the studio team, and most of the remaining 10% are completed by more than two or three people, and only a few are completed by individuals, and almost all of these individual works are Christine''s works.
In other words, European and American pop songs are basically assembly line industrialized products!
These pop music factories are the world-famous top professional production teams, composed of many professional musicians.
They will carry out customized creation according to the characteristics of a famous star. Every melody, lyrics, chorus, and even words such as Oh, yeah and baby shouted by the singer that have nothing to do with the lyrics in the song are completed by a specially assigned person. Each paragraph needs to be reviewed by the singer and its producer before it can pass, Then it was combined by top producers to complete a pop song!
Such a song has almost most of the characteristics of popular songs loved by most ordinary people.
Ear catching melody, catchy vocabulary, simple and direct meaning of lyrics, and electronic soundtrack in line with the fast-paced era, combined with the singing characteristics of professional singers, can basically explode for a while.
However, such songs can only be popular for a while, but can not last long. After a long time, they will be forgotten by everyone and replaced by other songs with almost popular elements and characteristics. Even because they are too similar to each other, we can''t tell which song we have heard for a while.
So!
For ten years
Many European and American fans who like listening to music find that it seems that they have not heard any songs worth remembering in the past ten years. The only ones worth remembering seem to be some of Christine''s works and a few songs or two of a few singers.
They don''t remember any other songs at all.
Even when some songs are popular, they listen to the single cycle all day.
But after ten days and a half months, they forgot.
This is the direct reason why Christine is called the first sister in European and American music.
Because other singers don''t deserve to compare with her, and she is the only one who insists on writing songs by herself. Each album has a distinctive personal style. One or two songs in each album are enough for many fans to listen to for a few years without feeling tired. In a few years, they can still recall and never forget in their memory. Most of these songs will become enduring classics.
Of course, this is also a phenomenon happening in the Chinese pop music world.
However, before the success of Chinese pop music, it has begun to copy the European and American model, so it is not as good as European and American pop music. There are few works that have been burned in the past decade. On the contrary, those online independent singers occasionally have one or two songs that have been burned, but those serious singers have not launched more popular works.
Until the appearance of Liu Shengnan and Wang Qian.
This is also the reason why Wang Qian can become popular in China. The songs are pleasant to hear, have a unique style, and even have profound humanistic thinking. In this era, it is an absolutely rare good work, which is immediately different from other flirtatious cheap goods.
Now
The song itsmylife sung by Wang Qian at the opening performance of good voice is just like the one he sang on the stage of good voice in China. The song shocked the whole European and American pop music world and surprised many fans.
Especially many young people in their teens and 20s are the most amazing!
They were used to listening to all kinds of industrial songs in the past ten years. Suddenly, they heard Wang Qian''s Retro hard rock songs with unique style, which made them extremely surprised and amazed - so, is there such a good song?
So!
Wang Qian''s itsmylife exploded overnight in Europe and America.
In terms of download data, it shocked the whole European and American pop music world. The data and ranking even made many people feel terrible!
Is this the first time a newcomer has officially released his work in Europe and America?
No one can believe it!
without doubt.
Wang Qian is still firmly in the first position among the ten players!
Itsmylife, the download data reached 12380660.
One night, 12.38 million downloaded data.
Wang Qian himself saw it, and his mood was relatively calm, because he had long been used to exaggerated data on his thousands of listening platforms in China, and had experienced more than 30 million downloads a night!
Therefore, the song itsmylife only received more than 12 million downloads on the North American music platform one night. Wang Qian was very calm!
But!
For example, Adam, Jonathan, Sophie, Elizabeth, Nakasone Meixue and others were shocked.
Other professional musicians and singers in the whole North American pop music world were shocked and said they were not very acceptable!
Adam directly whispered, "God, isn''t this true?"
Adam stared and looked carefully. He found that he was right and didn''t look at one more number. It was indeed more than 12 million download data, ranking first steadily!
But
Adam still doesn''t believe it.
He clearly remembers that when Christine created more than ten million data downloaded in a single day, it shocked the whole European and American pop music world.
Of course, he felt that Christine was too low-key when sending songs and didn''t invest in publicity, so the early publicity was not enough, so the data burst was not high enough in a short time.
However, Wang Qian downloaded more than 12 million data that night. What the hell is it?
Is this Chinese player going to create the highest paid download record in North America for the first time?
Who can accept this?
Anyway, Adam said he couldn''t accept it.
But what if you can''t accept it?
Adam looked painfully for a few seconds, then took a deep breath to calm himself, and then continued to look at the second.
Unexpected.
It''s still Wang Qian''s work. That piano piece, magic Rhapsody, has downloaded more than 6 million data in one night. After all, it''s just a piano piece. It seems that the successor is beginning to be weak!
But Adam thought about it——
More than six million downloads a night, far more than myself. I still lack the power of a p
With depression, Adam looked at the third place. It was still Sophie''s work. More than 5 million downloads were accumulated in one night. It was less than 500000 away from the second magic Rhapsody. It seemed that it was possible to catch up with and surpass at any time, but it didn''t surpass in one night!
Fourth
Or Adam.
Somehow, Adam breathed a sigh of relief.
Seems to be relieved to be in fourth place?
Adam felt stuffed, uncomfortable and wanted to cry
He is a North American champion. He was praised by many people and has reserved the position of champion of the global good voice finals.
Now I''m relieved to be fourth?
ashamed!
Adam didn''t want to continue reading. He closed the list directly. He was very depressed. He picked up the phone and called Winston directly.
The phone will be connected soon.
Winston said in the first sentence when he got on the phone, "have you seen the list?"
Adam said in a low voice, "well, just after reading it, I can''t believe Wang Qian. How can he do it? You know, he got 12 million downloads in one night, which may be more than 17 million downloads in a single day created by Christine today."
"Why?"
Adam asked the biggest question in his heart!
Why?
For what?
Can a Chinese newcomer do this when he comes to North America for the first time?
Is he God?
Winston is now in his apartment, staring at the computer screen while holding the phone. His eyebrows are also frowned. He looks at several lists and data on the computer screen, thinks carefully, listens to Adam''s soul and whispers: "Adam, I''m also thinking about this problem. I''ve figured out a little bit now. Maybe I can answer your question."
Adam was not happy at all. His voice still said in a low voice, "what answer have you come up with?"
Winston''s voice still said softly: "unique style and motivation! There are two more points. One is that Christine''s last album has been released for more than a year! The second is that in recent years, there are no good works with too much intention and amazing except Christine''s works!"
"Therefore, as soon as Wang Qian''s work came out, it amazed the whole European and American music world. Everyone likes it very much, so it will be downloaded naturally."
"According to statistics, more than one billion people around the world watched his performance last night, so it''s not impossible to have tens of millions of downloaded data in one night! You know, Christine didn''t have such a large-scale publicity when she posted her song last time. She didn''t even publicize it at that time. She just announced it on her microblog, and the company began to publicize it a week in advance, according to The old set a record of more than 10 million downloads a day. "
"The global publicity resources from good voice that Wang Qian enjoyed this time are definitely the highest standard in the history of pop music in the whole world."
Winston''s voice paused, but Adam on the other side of the phone didn''t speak and remained silent.
Because, Winston said, Wang Qian enjoyed the highest level of publicity resources in the history of world pop music. But Adam knew clearly that not only Wang Qian enjoyed this resource, but also he and other players. Even as the first ranked player, he enjoyed two grades higher than Wang Qian!
So, in fact, Adam was the singer who enjoyed the best publicity resources in the history of pop music!
But
His grades are far worse than those of Wang Qian.
This shows that there is a greater gap between him and Wang Qian!
The truth is so heartbreaking
Let Adam stop talking for a while.
Winston continued: "Adam, today''s fans'' desire for good works is beyond our imagination. It can be reflected in Wang Qian''s song. Everyone is very eager for such excellent works with personal style. It seems that everyone is tired of hearing the popular works with serious homogenization in the studio."
"Over the past year, many big name singers have launched new works created by teams, and their achievements are relatively average! This has led to a downturn in the market performance of European and American pop music."
"I thought there had been a lot of natural and man-made disasters in the past year. Everyone was not in the mood to listen to music, so the market response was bad. Now it seems that it may not be... It''s not because of external factors, or because our works are not good enough. It''s our own reason."
Adam''s voice gradually calmed down and asked, "so, Winston, what should we do?"
Winston sighed and said, "I don''t know what to do now! The wind direction of the market seems to have been tested by Wang Qian. However, it''s difficult for us to adjust our style to deal with market changes in a short time! Because the time is too short."
"It''s very difficult for us to create pop songs that are in line with your unique style and different from many previous team works in such a short time. If one is not good, the works may not be as popular as the previous works, that''s bad."
Adam was silent for a few more seconds, and then said, "Winston, what if I write my own music? I use my own ideas to create music. Isn''t that my own unique style of music?"
Winston smiled bitterly and said, "Adam, you''ve only participated in the creation and put forward some opinions before. You haven''t really participated in the creation, let alone created a song. Are you sure you can?"
The so-called Adam claimed to have a brilliant creative talent and deeply participated in music creation and adaptation. In fact, it is the publicity carried out by the team in order to set up a talented person.
In fact, Adam participated very little in his creation.
Adam was silent again, took a few deep breaths, calmed himself down, and said in a difficult tone: "so, can I deeply participate in the creation of the team? I want to put forward my opinion. I think the work really has my own style!"
Winston thought for a moment and promised, "of course!"
Although, he is the world''s top producer with a strange temper.
However, he does things with money after all.
Adam, it''s his client after all!
If he is not confident enough of himself and Adam has his own requirements, he can only promise!
Looking at the computer screen, Wang Qian''s song can be called terrible download data. Winston has no confidence to fight with the assembly line works without any characteristics created by his team.
Perhaps, the assembly line works created by him and his team are in line with the advantages and characteristics of pop songs, can also be successful and get good results. Even if they can give some first-line singers as the main song of the album, it is basically no problem to climb the top ten of the bulletin board. It is possible to enter the top three or even climb the top with good luck!
But
That''s all.
His and his team''s works will never be able to shock or even amaze the world like Christine and Wang Qian''s works, and break European and American music records!
Even now, he is worried about the prospects of himself and his team, as well as other similar pop music production teams!
Because if Wang Qian can continue to release such good songs in the future and still achieve great success in European and American music, and Christine will release another album this year, the two may change the aesthetics and direction of European and American pop music market at one fell swoop!
The market may no longer directly accept and like those assembly line works with serious homogenization, but only like Christine and Wang Qian''s good works with their own in-depth thinking and personal style!
By then
Those independent singers with unique styles, as well as independent writers, may become popular.
Their team creative studio without any characteristics may be gradually eliminated!
Pop music may gradually return to the style of the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s, when many personal styles and rich music were popular.
At that time, even the first time I listened to every song, I only had to listen to the prelude and two lyrics to know whose work it was. Even if it was not sung by the originator himself, I could also determine whose work it was from the musical style.
This is essentially different from the current assembly line pop music. Now most popular songs are sung by individuals. There is no difference, because the song itself does not have a unique style, which can be suitable for the singing style of most singers.
This may also prove that fashion itself is a circle and will eventually return to the starting point!
This applies not only in the field of fashion design, but also in the field of pop music?
So
Winston felt a sense of survival crisis.
He chose to compromise.
Try to make new changes and integrate some unique personal styles into the music, maybe you can succeed?
Adam continued, "shall we start now? Winston, I can''t wait."
He can''t wait to make changes and improve himself, otherwise he will collapse under the great pressure of Wang Qian''s terrible data.
Winston thought about how to cooperate with Adam and said, "of course, you can come to the studio after breakfast."
Adam: "OK, I''ll have breakfast right away. I''ll be there right away! In fact, I have a lot of ideas to integrate into my music..."
Winston looked at another page and whispered, "by the way, Adam, have you seen the bulletin board?"
Adam was stunned!
Bulletin board?
What do you mean
Adam thought for a moment, then clicked for a moment, his face changed slightly, his fingers quickly operated the page and entered the bulletin board general list.
It''s the general list of pop song sales!
The list of all songs on sale in European and American music circles, whether new songs or old songs, will enter the list as long as the sales data can enter the top 200!
However, almost everyone pays close attention to the top ten. In fact, it''s a good achievement to enter the top 200.
This time, while the good voice official cooperated with the bulletin board, it did not prevent the contestants'' works from impacting the general list of the bulletin board based on their own achievements.
Adam just focused on the ranking and data of the players. He didn''t remember this one at once!
Now, after Winston''s reminder, he immediately opened the bulletin board list with trembling fingers!
See the first song name and singer name.
Adam felt his head blank.
all night!
Just one night!
No. 1 on the list of airborne bulletin boards
How on earth did this guy do it?
Why can he do it?
Why is he?
Adam''s heart once again had problems from the depths of his soul.
At the same time, Winston''s voice sounded in his ear: "You know what? Adam, according to statistics, in the last ten years, there are no more than 20 works that can be ranked first on the bulletin board on the first day of listing, of which Christine occupies three. Others add up to only 17 works that can do this. However, only Christine''s three songs can stabilize after they are ranked first in the list! And they have been released in the past ten years There are tens of thousands of popular songs, and hundreds of songs have topped the billboard! "
"He is the first person who can directly parachute to the top of the list by publicly publishing his first song in North America! In the history of European and American pop music, no singer can directly parachute to the top of the list on the first day by publicly publishing his first song. No one, Christine, and so many talented singers didn''t do it 20 or 30 years ago."
"Now, he did it."
In Winston''s opinion, the two singles released by Wang Qian in China were issued by the good voice official in North America, not by him, so it is not his published work. This itsmylife is Wang Qian''s first published work in North America!
Wang qianzhen is the first in the history of European and American pop music!
For decades, no matter how talented and awesome the heavenly kings and divas were, they didn''t do this as soon as they made their debut. Some people reached the top with the first song, but they accumulated a lot of talents instead of the first day.
Adam''s head was still buzzing and his eyes were slightly dull looking at the top name on the computer screen.
He, how can he do it?
Adam still doesn''t understand.
……
Sophie studied piano before and was a piano genius, so she saw this data. Although she thought Wang Qian was very powerful, she was not as hit as Adam.
Because she doesn''t focus on pop music.
However, she also probably knows that Wang Qian may be remembered in history by European and American pop music circles just by virtue of this song.
Think about it!
Sophie sent a message on her Facebook account: "maybe we are participating in history!"
A simple sentence.
She and Wang Qian performed and competed on the same stage, which gave her a sense of honor and massiness to participate in history and a more direct and profound understanding of Wang Qian''s musical talent.
After all, the market is the final test of everything.
Now, the market has given the answer.
The answer proves that Wang Qian''s musical talent is really powerful and indescribable.
Sophie''s message was quickly forwarded and praised by European and American fans.
Although everyone doesn''t know what she means by saying this, many fans still like it and forward it. After all, it''s sent by the goddess. Just follow.
Sophie looked at her data again. She didn''t even have half of Wang Qian''s itsmylife. She thought about her music carefully.
She is not an old-fashioned person. She tries to find some popular characteristics in Wang Qian''s works, and then integrate them into her own songs!
It''s not to change your style, but to integrate more people''s favorite things.
Now, as a pop musician, adapting to the market and the public is her only success standard!
So that''s what she did.
Wang Qian has now become the wind vane of the pop music market in her eyes.
……
Early in the morning.
The whole North American pop music market seemed to be shocked by a magnitude 10 earthquake, and many musicians even stayed up all night!
In the private discussion groups among many musicians, everyone is crazy about Wang Qian, the data of Wang Qian''s two works, and the possibility of breaking Christine''s previous one-day download record!
The most important thing is
The historical significance of Wang Qian''s landing at the top of the bulletin board on the first day of singing!
Everything is no small matter to their pop music world.
Wang Qian was the focus of their discussion.
Their discussion was private.
However, those music critics, media people and we media have made crazy speeches and discussions in public.
alike!
Many people still say they can''t accept it.
A person from the media said, "I don''t believe it''s true. The Chinese player must brush the data, which is their favorite practice. In many of their Chinese talent shows, the players will spend money to brush the data, and Wang Qian must spend money to ask someone to brush the sales data for him. Tomorrow, his sales data will plummet!"
This self deception still has a lot of support in North America.
A lot of people still don''t like a Chinese player to create miraculous results on their territory. If it does happen, it must be false, cheating, not real.
Some critics criticized Wang Qian''s two works for nothing, and even forced far fetched to find some unknown old works in Europe and America, and pulled out some fragments to compare them with Wang Qian''s two works, so as to prove that Wang Qian''s works were plagiarized, but some rational people would think it was nonsense after reading this so-called analysis.
In addition to these malicious statements, there are many who support them!
After all, most people have bright eyes and clear ears!
Whether the song is good or not, and whether the live performance is good or not, everyone knows it clearly after listening to it!
Some music critics analyzed: "Wang Qian''s itsmylife! Represents an extremely unique personal style. Coupled with the powerful performance atmosphere of the live performance, Wang Qian''s world-class performance has attracted more than one billion audiences all over the world. It is understandable to have such achievements. If Christine''s work had such great publicity, the record of one-day download created at that time would be certain It won''t be so low. "
"We should not slander Wang Qian and his works. We should see that so many people all over the world like his works. We should draw advantages from his works to create more good works and improve ourselves!"
The music critic''s rational analysis has been supported by the most people. He likes and forwards more than one million on Facebook, which has become a hot topic.
There is also a good voice. The official of the world cup came out and said: "The data of all players are absolutely true. We have specially assigned personnel to cooperate with the platform to detect the data of ten players in real time. If anyone suspects that a player has swiped the data to be false, please come up with practical evidence. If the evidence is true and is confirmed to be true through our inspection, we will directly cancel the player''s qualification to participate in the world competition, and we will also be responsible for what the player said The program production team belonging to the competition area shall make punishment. "
"If there is no evidence to prove it, please don''t talk nonsense at will, otherwise we will investigate the legal responsibility of the rumor monger!"
Good voice officials must stand up and safeguard Wang Qian''s reputation.
Because Wang Qian''s attention is too high now, and the data of his works is too good.
Even if some division representatives in North America and Europe don''t want to, they can''t stop it.
In a sense, Wang Qian now represents most of the interests of the program group!
If Wang Qian''s reputation is damaged, it also means that the reputation of the program group is damaged, and the subsequent loss will be greater!
Therefore, they must stand up as soon as possible and maintain Wang Qian''s reputation!
If Wang Qian is only the last ranked player.
Well, if some media people openly slander Wang Qian, the program team may not stand up and speak, but remain silent when most competition areas in Europe and America stop it!
Now, in order to protect everyone''s interests, no one can stop the program team from standing up and helping Wang Qian speak!
So!
Not long after the good voice official statement was issued, the hundreds of millions of North American commentators who spread rumors to slander Wang Qian, we media and so on quickly deleted their previous statements and kept silent as if nothing had happened.
Only some Internet users are still dominated by their own discrimination and still publish some nonsense rumors. However, their voices can not become the mainstream and affect more public opinion, so no one cares.
……
Christine received a call from her good friend, Garbo, early in the morning.
Garbo is a little-known little actor. Because he has not accepted the hidden rules and is unwilling to pay, he is not famous. He only mixes some small roles in the TV circle and barely lives.
Even, in order to live, Garbo often plays small roles and works part-time in restaurants!
I met Christine by chance. Christine likes and appreciates Garbo''s encouragement and acting skills, so she became friends with each other!
This time, Christine came to Los Angeles.
Of course, Garbo will entertain you. I contacted you last night.
But!
Call early in the morning, not just for entertainment!
Christine answered the phone: "Garbo, what''s the matter?"
Garbo quickly said, "Chris, you know, the song you recommended to me last night is really good. It''s definitely the best rock song I''ve heard in the last ten years."
Christine: so, Garbo, didn''t you watch TV last night? Don''t you know the good voice performance last night
Garbo said with a smile, "Chris, I''m not a big star. I''m not qualified to go to the scene. In order to pay the rent, I have to insist on working. Last night I worked overtime in a Chinese restaurant. This is the price for me to have a holiday tonight. It''s because I want to accompany you and invite you to dinner!"
Christine: Well, I''m sorry, Garbo. I don''t know how busy you are
Garbo: "it''s okay!"
Christine: "look at the official ranking of good voice and the ranking of bulletin board. You will know what''s going on! He''s working miracles."
Jiabao said casually, "well, I''ll pay attention!"
Christine moved her finger and opened Facebook. Suddenly she saw a news just published by Curtis Conservatory of music. She frowned and said to the phone, "Garbo, I''m sorry! I may not have time to have dinner with you in the evening."
Garbo: "God, Chris, are you playing with me?"
Christine: I''m sorry, I''m very sorry! Otherwise, it''s my treat. I''ll take you to Philadelphia. I''ll cover all the expenses of your board and lodging. How about it
Garbo immediately refused: "I don''t want it! You invited me last time, and it''s my treat this time. Since you have something important, go and find another chance next time you come to Los Angeles!"
Christine: I''m very sorry, Garbo! There''s an open class at the Curtis Conservatory of music in Philadelphia. I don''t want to miss it. I have to go there as soon as possible
Garbo smiled magnanimously and said, "OK, you go. Besides acting, I also prefer music. Unfortunately, I don''t have time to go. Bye, Chris!"
Christine still said apologetically, "OK, Garbo, I''m very sorry. Bye! I''ll call you as soon as I get back to Los Angeles!"
Garbo smiled, "that''s for sure, Chris. Bye!"
Hang up!
Christine stared at the news of Curtis conservatory on Facebook in a daze.
And the other side.
Garbo also quickly opened the phone to search for itsmylife!
At the same time
The official account of Curtis Conservatory of music announced a message on several major social platforms in North America, such as Facebook and twitter, which shocked the European and American pop music world again!
"Our school has invited Mr. Wang Qian from China to come to our school tomorrow for music exchange..."
