Save the Bachelor of Heaven

  Chapter 602 603 [I don't like your song]

  In December, MTV and CCTV jointly held the CCTV-MTV Music Festival, and no longer let ChannelV specialize in beauty.

   Since the music festival is held jointly by CCTV, the scale, specifications and authority are much higher, and it has attracted a large number of singers to join in for a while.

   Among them, the "Most Popular Male and Female Singer Award", because it is contested in the form of public voting, represents the real popularity of the singer to a certain extent, so it is also the award that everyone pays most attention to.

  In the end, Xiang Nan defeated Sun Nan, Man Wenjun, Zheng Jun, Mao Yi and others with the highest number of votes, and won the Most Popular Male Singer Award in the Mainland.

  In addition, Leslie Cheung and Wang Fei also successfully won the Best Male and Female Singer Award in the Xiangjiang area for their two albums, "The King of K Songs" and "Flowing Years", which Xiang Nan participated in writing lyrics and composing.

   It can be said that Xiang Nan is honored to be the veritable biggest winner at this awards ceremony.

   This also made the number of people who invited him to sing after the music festival fully double that of before.

  But Xiang Nan didn't give anyone face, so he refused all of them.

The reason why he is so stubborn is that firstly, he has established a firm foothold in the film and television industry and the music industry, and does not need to rely on anyone's support; achieved financial freedom.

  To be honest, even domestic entertainment giants like Huayi, Guangguang, and Rong Xinda may not have such sufficient funds as him.

  Since this is the case, he naturally doesn't have to look at anyone's face, and he doesn't have to follow anyone's door. Just like a famous saying that Fan Ye said back then, I don’t need to marry a wealthy family, I am a wealthy family myself.

  …

  In January of 2001, the filming of "Yanjing Music and Road" was officially completed, which took about three months.

  During the period, Xiang Nan also took the time to dub the voice for "Youth Bao Qingtian".

  Actually, the original crew wanted to hire professional dubbing actors, but Xiang Nan thought it would be better to do the dubbing by himself.

   First, the audience is already familiar with their own voice, and dubbing will make everyone feel that the show is coming out; second, by dubbing by themselves, the tone and rhythm can be grasped more steadily, and the quality of the TV series can also be improved.

   As a producer, Zheng Xiaolong is very satisfied with his professional behavior.

  …

  In addition, during the filming of this film, Warner Records proposed a cooperation plan to Maimiao Records, and the two companies merged to form Warner Maimiao.

  Xiang Nan naturally agreed with this matter.

  Firstly, after four years of development, Mai Miao Records has entered a bottleneck period. Want to expand, but funds, talents, and experience are scarce. Merging with Warner can solve a lot of troubles and help Mai Miao Records to a higher level;

  Secondly, Warner Music is one of the largest record companies in the world, and its record production, marketing, and distribution capabilities are also among the top in the world.

  The so-called shade under the big tree is good. Xiang Nan's career development has now entered a bottleneck period, and he urgently needs more capital to help him to a higher level. Warner came at exactly the right time.

   As for whether there will be a phenomenon of bullying customers after joining Warner, Xiang Nan is not too worried about it.

   Firstly, he is the most popular singer on Mai Miao Records, and he believes that Warner will not ruin his fortune; secondly, his agent contract is in his own hands, and he signed only five records with Mai Miao. There are two more and the contract expires, and then the sky will be high and the birds will fly.

  Take a step back and say that even if Warner is really playing tricks, with his capital, he will not be powerless to fight back. At that time, he can even buy out the contract with his own money, and if it doesn't work out, he can file a lawsuit.

  With his current popularity, status, and influence in the industry, he really wants to fight Warner. Even if it is a major international record company, it may not be able to get cheap.

  …

   On the day Maimiao Records and Warner Records signed the contract, Xiang Nan, as a leading singer, naturally went to join him.

  At the signing ceremony, Xiang Nan also met artists such as Sun Nan, Zhou Xun, Jin Haixin, and the Band that belonged to Warner.

  Because they will be brothers from the same school from now on, Xiang Nan greeted them warmly.

   "I've heard your song, but I don't like it very much~" Zhou Xun blinked his elf-like eyes, looked at Xiang Nan, and said directly.

  When they met for the first time, Xiang Nan couldn't help being very upset when he was kicked out.

   Fortunately, he has worked hard in the entertainment industry for several years, and he can still do his superficial skills.

  Therefore, Xiang Nan smiled and nodded, "Thank you."

  Zhou Xun was slightly taken aback, he didn't expect Xiang Nan to respond like this. She still wanted to have a good argument with him.

   "I think you..." she said immediately.

   "Sorry, sorry~" Xiang Nan smiled at her, and then hurried away.

   "Hey, you~" Zhou Xun stomped his feet angrily.

   She is a crazy music lover. In the early 1990s, when she came to Yanjing, she worked as a singer and sang in bars. Because he refused to drink with his guests, he was once knocked out of a front tooth.

   Later, when she fell in love, she always found the musician Dou Peng, who is Dou Wei's younger brother. Later, after she became famous, she still loves music. Whenever there is a performance, as long as there is a schedule, she will go there.

  Even "ID", a well-known British music magazine, recognized her fanatic status as a music fan.

  As an avid music fan, she naturally knew a little about Xiang Nan's quarrel with the underground rock circle a few days ago.

  To be honest, she felt that both sides had something right and wrong, and Xiang Nan had more wrong things.

  She thinks that Xiang Nan is a talented musician, and his singing of "Meteor", "Free as the Wind", "Once Upon a Time", "Blue Lotus", and "Chasing Dreams" are all good.

  However, Xiang Nan has such a high talent, but he is willing to degenerate, and makes himself so commercialized and kitsch. In her opinion, it is completely reckless.

  So she really wanted to discuss with him, let him write more Yang Chun Bai Xue, don't be so worldly, so money-worshipping.

  It's a pity that Xiang Nange didn't give her a chance at all, leaving her choked up and having nothing to say, it was so shocking!

  …

  After Maimiao Records and Warner Records merged to form Warner Maimiao, Xiang Nan's fourth album was officially under preparation.

  In the new album, Xiang Nan has added more R&B elements.

  "Qilixiang", "Jiangnan", "Flower Field", "Love in BC", "Simple Love", "Stubborn", "Youth", "It's Me", "Three Kingdoms"...

  The full name of R&B is Rhythm and Blues, which originated in the 1950s. After more than 50 years of development, it has developed a variety of branches.

  According to the definition of the Western music industry, except for jazz and blues, all other songs can be counted as R&B. Such as disco, funk, soul music, swing music, etc., so R&B is not a new product.

  The reason why the R&B style will rise in the recording industry after two thousand years is mainly due to commercial considerations. In order to distinguish it from the previous pop music, in order to give the audience more freshness.

  The so-called ten-year era, five-year generation gap, the appreciation tastes of the younger generation and the older generation are very different.

  The previous popular music has a history of 10 to 20 years, and now it is not very suitable for the appreciation taste of young people.

   Moreover, many of those popular singers have been famous for more than ten years, such as Jacky Cheung, Andy Lau, Alan Tam, Li Zongsheng, Luo Dayou, Qi Zi and so on.

  Young audiences want newer faces and fresher music, which urgently requires the record industry to respond.

   In addition, in the 1990s, American R&B music was popular. R.KELLY, Usher, Whitney Houston, Mary Blige, Boys and Men, Mariah Carey, Celine Dion, Beyoncé and many other outstanding singers turned out, which also made the Chinese record The world has followed suit.

  So Xiang Nan is now taking advantage of the trend and introducing R&B elements in the new album to win the support of more fans.

  …

   While Xiang Nan was preparing the record, he met Zhou Xun many times.

  Every time I meet her, Zhou Xun always wants to quarrel with him, arguing about how to make music, which annoys Xiang Nan.

"Why do you always want to quarrel with me? You just like music, but I specialize in making music. Can you understand better than me?" Finally, he couldn't help but burst out one day, "Don't take your interest and challenge my profession.”

   One sentence shocked Zhou Xun to death! I'm also good at playing music!

  She vowed to make an album and let Xiang Nan take a good look at what real music is. Moreover, she also greeted her agent Li Xiaowan, and she will work hard to join the group in whatever drama Xiang Nan takes on in the future.

   When the time comes, use your superb acting skills to humiliate him well. Give him back the words "Don't take your interest, challenge my major"!

  …

   Thanks to the book friend Mo Xueyiyun for the reward, thank you!
