Comeback [entertainment]

During off-duty hours, the traffic conditions in Washington DC were indescribably terrible. There were continuous red taillights on the long street. Drivers and passengers stayed in the stuffy space for nearly an hour without moving a lot of meters.

The more annoying horn sounded continuously outside the window. The driver had no choice but to turn up the volume of the radio station and use the deep magnetic voice of the host to mobilize the emotions of the passengers as much as possible.The FM radio station with the highest listening rate in the city finished broadcasting real-time traffic conditions and entered the daily music session.

"At this time, people who have just got off work in the business district may be stuck on their way home. The relaxed and empty music of western cowboys is not suitable for comfort. Let's find new songs." The host chuckled and teased, "How about paradise? Is it authoritative enough? Let me see... There is a song in the lyrical category that has just airborne in the top [-]. Oh, it turned out to be in Chinese. My director told me that these four words read 'from, now, now, from', Hopefully the roads will be smoother from now on.”

His tone was very humorous, and the anxious people in the traffic jam couldn't help laughing. After a short wait for the music, a soft melody flowed out of the speaker.

The slow rhythm reverberated in the carriage, and the thick and melodious male voice sang incomprehensible lyrics. The beautiful melody instantly caught the ears of all listeners, and surrounded them with an unspeakable comfortable atmosphere.The passionate love and the sadness that ended without a cause, the whole world is twisting and flying with the singing, as if returning to the palpitating period in the past, the lovers who used to talk about everything drifted away, leaving only sadness.Sometimes the excellence of a piece of music is reflected in its attack power when it ruthlessly tears the listener's spiritual protection.That kind of hurricane-like invincible destruction always makes people feel a strong heart-pounding pain, but at the same time, they can't help but relive this feeling.

At the end of the song, the music dissipated silently like mist, as if even the whistle outside the window became less important. "It's really...a stunning work." The host's magnetic voice sounded slowly after a few seconds, "I don't understand what he sang, but it reminds me of how I felt when I broke up with my first love many years ago. The song is also on the MV list, and it’s a pity that the radio station can’t let everyone enjoy it. Let me take a look at the singer-Yuan Shang? Do you remember his "Chasing"?"

Originally? "chase? "Many passengers who seemed to have known each other opened their eyes one after another, and the host quickly cut into the broadcast of "Chasing". The people who felt a little quiet and sad because of "From Now on" were suddenly driven by the new melody. stand up.

The search volume on the paradise list suddenly increased, and many people casually glanced at it while purchasing the playback—Huh?30-second audition of the rest of the album? !

In China, when festivals are approaching, groups of girls carry bags and shopping bags in the business district. The huge LED display screen on the wall of the roadside shopping mall turns back to a black screen after the scrolling advertisements, and then the music plays, making people feel happy. Many people couldn't help but looked up.

"Ah!!! So handsome!!!" A black screen appeared, and it was an indescribably delicate face. Immediately, a girl pointed at the screen and whispered to her companion, "It's Yuan Shang!"

The music, combined with the charm of the face, is enough to make many people take some time out of their idle shopping plans to stop and watch.The brisk and energetic rhythm did not live up to their expectations, and even a short prelude can make the audience feel uplifted. The LED screen is very large, and the resolution is not very high-definition. You can even detect the small grids between the colors with the naked eye. The handsome face of Yuanshang is enlarged to this point, and he can’t pick out the slightest roughness. He looks at the camera and smiles. Singing, it seems that even the eyes can flow tenderness.

The girls looking at the screen suddenly had the illusion that they were staring at him, and their ears couldn't help but turn red because of the gaze. After the brisk and lingering prelude of the music, the name of the song was displayed on the screen - "Irreversible" The theme of friendship is often not as hot and eye-catching as love, but true friendship can often make people feel more complementary and harmonious than love.Caring for each other and understanding each other, from going to school together to growing old together.Yuanshang used his gentle voice to express his concern and gratitude to his friends. On the screen, two young people in high spirits were also sitting on the same stool and playing the piano intimately.The slender fingers of the two hands fluttered together, and they looked at each other and smiled from time to time. This deep tacit understanding made people feel a lot unconsciously.The word friend is like the collision of two worlds. In life, I don't know how lucky I am to meet such a suitable person.They tolerate each other, care about each other, and even share secrets that even their lovers can't know.The beautiful youth will dissipate with time, but the friendship has been refined and purer during this long time.Dozens of years later, with gray hair, the most gratifying thing is that besides a happy family, I can still have such a sincere friendship that has never been corrupted?

The sound of the music will be turned off, and the tone of the picture will also turn dim. In the vast world, there is only a pair of backs that are walking side by side and drifting away.

Such a cheerful and warm song, but it can give people a heart-warming shock.After looking down at the faces of the audience, they couldn't help looking at the friends who were with them, and they happened to meet the same gaze of the other party. Under many feelings, they could only express their inner cherishment and gratitude to the other party with a hug.

Immediately afterwards, many people realized - is this a new song from Yuanshang? !single? !

There was an exclamation from the crowd who had already begun to frantically search: "——album!! Ten songs!!!!

"" Chasing "is also in it !!!! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

"The album cover is so handsome!!!"

"Buy buy buy!!! Buy buy buy!!!"

*******

In the ten-song album, in addition to "Chasing", which has already been released as a single, there are two other songs as the main track, and the rest of the singles will be available for full song appreciation in the trial listening mode one by one during the album sales process.This kind of sales model has attracted countless customers who were moved by the promotional music on the first day of the album's release.

The record industry in the country is already at sunset, and there will be audio-visual stores that cannot sustain themselves to close their doors every moment, and the remaining survivors who are hiding in every corner of the city and still clinging to their last days will welcome an unprecedented sales peak in the past few years.

"Is there any "Start"?!"

"Boss! Do you have "Start" in stock?"

"Damn it's gone again, do you know where I can buy it?"

"Can the goods arrive today?! Online sales say it will take at least half a month to arrive, I don't want to wait!!!"

The market is sluggish, and the stock of new albums in record stores has become less and less in recent years. Sometimes there are only a few copies of each record in stock, and they are naturally sold out in an instant by fans holding up maps.There are also many passers-by who were attracted to the store by the title song "Beginning" played outside the store. When they had the intention to buy but there was no stock to buy, they expressed full regret, and even paid part of the deposit in advance and were willing to wait for the supply of goods in the store.And on the Internet, the sales boom of this album has also reached a high point that has attracted the attention of people in the industry.On the day of the sale, the electronic music platform was almost overwhelmed by the flood of customers. Within five hours, it quickly broke the first-day sales record of domestic digital albums in the past five years by selling more than 2 yuan for No.[-].Tens of thousands of physical goods are sold out in less than half a day, and the sales figures of digital records are also hitting new highs every moment.

The whole network is a sensation!This is simply a dominance of the screen! "Beginning" not only broke the sales record, but even the audition record of the title song quickly occupied the charts of all domestic music platforms. "From Now" and "The Invincible Friend" have so strongly squeezed into the public's field of vision, and with all the platforms combined, the 24-hour broadcast volume exceeds 3000 million. "Chasing" with a single beginning and ending also sharpened the sense of presence again.The three songs are inseparable, and the same results are astonishing. The rest of the newly released songs are almost squeezed out of place, and they can only be carefully placed on No.3 or No.4 with the extremely pitiful data behind them.It seems that a new chapter has been opened in the music circle overnight, and even the major social platforms that have seldom paid attention to discussing songs, suddenly many topics related to this album popped up.

How many years has it been since the decline of the domestic recording industry? !This battle was so beautiful that it was unreal, so even though the excellence of the album "Beginning" is obvious, the domestic media still couldn't help but secretly doubt it.There are also various voices on the Internet doubting whether the sales figures of the album are real, most of them come from the fan group of the same singers who can't push their idols to the top of the list no matter how they hit the charts.They couldn't imagine that someone could surpass their long-term business so easily in a short period of time, so they tried to find some clues with a critical attitude.But no matter how much prejudice there is, after seeing the original album cover picture printed on the sales list of the paradise album, they can no longer speak far-fetched conspiracy theories.

That's paradise's list!Moreover, it is the album sales list with the most stringent requirements for listing. The minimum standard for physical sales within the top 20 list is as high as 11 copies, and the threshold for digital albums exceeds 110 per week. What is this concept? !Many "popular singers" in China may not be able to break through this number from the beginning of the album to the end!Although Yuanshang failed to reach the top, he also squeezed into the top ten with his first-week sales of [-] overseas entities and [-] million digital records.Apart from a few sporadic masters on this list, there are almost no foreign singers to be found, and the opponents over his head are all superstars who have been popular in Europe and the United States for a long time. The regular and flat square characters appear so abrupt and so precious.

How many years have there been no Paradise albums on the Chinese record list? People in the industry can hardly remember. Most of the new Chinese songs even have overseas online playback numbers. How can we talk about it in depth? album sales of ?Compared with the domestic record market in recent years, overseas groups who are used to supporting the original version are simply a big piece of fat. Domestic producers are eyeing it, but no one has the strength to take a bite.When the screenshots of faces on the paradise sales list that were still recognizable even when they were miniaturized into a small picture appeared in the media's follow-up publicity, many fans who had high expectations for Chinese music and Yuanshang even couldn't help crying. stand up.

This way, they walked too wronged!

Numerous strife and targeting followed like a shadow, shady, suppressed, questioned, and slandered, like a blunt knife cutting flesh, trying to strangle their beliefs and dreams in the cradle.However, despite so many objections, Yuanshang still walked out!With his music!With his dreams and pursuits in music! ! !

Four Seas Group invested a huge amount of publicity expenses for this album at the beginning, but soon, more and more spontaneous word of mouth surpassed the results.Someone compared Yuanshang's album sales curve with other singers in the same period. Most of the other singers opened high on the first day and then fell straight down. However, Yuanshang opened high on the same day, and then the curve skyrocketed. Throw it out!Especially in overseas, most of the sales records set in the first week come from the last few days of the week, which shows that many customers who contribute to sales are not fans who rushed to the original place at the beginning.It's like a movie that got off to a bad start but was pushed to the top of the box office by word of mouth because of its excellent quality. Every word of praise and publicity is an indispensable building block in the final result.

"Prestige! Get the bones!"

Yuanshang bent over and waved, and Weifeng happily flicked his tongue and brought the bone into his hand.After completing the task, Wei Feng was patted on the head, and lay down on the ground lazily and happily.Yuanshang stretched out his hand to scratch its glossy black fur, and couldn't pick out a mottled black fur. His majestic and gentle round eyes narrowed, and a pair of cattail fan-like ears drooped obediently. He turned over and acted like a baby to touch his stomach.

Yuanshang was amused by it, scratched its stomach vigorously, touched his long-healed amputation wound, and whispered: "Okay, Dad is going to work, and I will play with you when I come back."

Since the sale of the album, Yuanshang has started to work on various programs to promote the album, and the daily time is so full that sometimes he can't even go home to sleep, let alone play with Weifeng.Yuanshang feels a little guilty, and is glad that he does not live alone, so even without his company, Weifeng has been growing healthily and vigorously.He patted Weifeng's hind leg and felt the strong and healthy muscles under his palm. He couldn't help but feel two points of relief in his heart: he has enough exercise. Presumably the aunts take it out to play every day, right?

There was movement from the porch, seeing Wei Feng laying on the ground without any vigilance, Yuanshang knew who was back, and turned his head with a smile: "Mr. Qin, why did you go home so early today?"

Qin Huo was carrying a big bag of things, looked at his watch, seemed a little surprised: "I remember you...?"

"Oh, I just came back to take a look at Weifeng when I have time, and I'm leaving soon." Seeing that the time was really too late, Yuan Shang hurriedly stood up and rushed out, Weifeng followed behind him, when he sat down to put on his shoes Suddenly screaming and pushing his head against Qin Huo's leg, he quickly grabbed him with his sharp eyes.

"Weifeng! Weifeng! You can't do this!" He grabbed Weifeng's collar and taught him a lesson twice, then hurriedly apologized to Qin Huo, who still had his signature expression on his face, and said flatly, "It's okay."

Yuanshang felt relieved, watched him enter the house, watched him put down his coat and bag, and watched him open the wooden barrier on the stairs to prevent Wei Feng from running around, feeling a little guilty in his heart.He persuaded Aunt You and Aunt Liu to install the double wooden railings. After all, Qin Huo had said that the second floor could not be casually accessed when he moved here, so he must be a very territorial person.Raising a dog in such a person's house is actually quite excessive. Although Qin Huo has never raised any opinions on this, Yuanshang still pays attention to his own sense of proportion.

Before going out, he bent down and held his majestic ear and told him carefully: "Be obedient, you can't go to the other side of the stairs, sleep in the living room by yourself, go to auntie when you're hungry, and don't disturb that uncle just now."

Prestige flickered with those big black eyes that were innocent and gentle like a deer, and licked his hand affectionately, not sure if he understood.

Yuanshang could only sigh, bid farewell and left nervously.

After the door was closed, Wei Feng stood obediently on the spot for a while, knowing that the master would not be coming back in a short time, he groaned and groaned as he folded the slippers beside the original.

A low voice suddenly came from behind: "Weifeng."

Aww!It's the uncle who always takes me out to play and gives me good food!The three-legged majesty climbed up vigorously, and seeing Qin Huo standing not far away holding the leash, he immediately ran over happily, jumping back and forth around his legs repeatedly——

— to go out and play!Go out and play!Go out and play!

Qin Huo patted his head lovingly with a cold face, and whispered: "I bought a new can today, and I'll come back from playing in a while. I'll let you see if it suits your appetite."

"Teacher Yuan, watch your step!"

"There are a lot of people here today, and I hope Teacher Yuan doesn't mind."

"Ms. Yuan, have you had a hard time on the road? Go this way and this way, go upstairs to rest first..."

"Mr. Yuan, this is the script. You can read it casually first. If you are not satisfied, you can bring it up. Let's discuss and revise it together..."

As soon as Yuanshang got off the car, the TV crews who had been waiting at the spot swarmed up. These people kept chatting and asking each other, as if they wanted to carry him into the studio.Yuanshang greeted them with a gentle smile, glanced at them, and saw a few people who still had some impressions in his memory.

He looked up at the radio and television building, which was a combination of modern, fashionable, and cutting-edge aesthetics. At the beginning, he squatted at the gate and waited for Yu Shuimiao's car. Earlier, the original owner had dreamed of Fengchen. Stepping up these steps in a hurry.The change in popularity made him receive completely different treatment in the same place than before. Thinking of the experience when he just woke up, Yuan Shang did not feel happy at all.Suddenly there was a scream behind him, he turned his head, and saw many young people holding up lights on the square opposite the building—

——"Harakami!!! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!"

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

"Harakami!!! You've worked hard!!! The new album is very good!!!"

Many of the big-name celebrities hated the fan’s confession to the itinerary. The staff in charge of the reception next to him were worried that he would be angry, so they hurriedly explained: “Mr. Yuan, don’t worry, these people are blocked and cannot rush in, but if you don’t like ..."

Yuanshang raised his hand to stop his unfinished words, put his palms together around his mouth, and suddenly shouted forward: "Thank you for your support!!!"

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!"

The young people who got the response immediately screamed, and even jumped up and down holding hands excitedly, very cute.Looking at them, Yuanshang can find his sense of being down-to-earth, and only these people really don't gather around him for fame and fortune.

There are many staff members in the building who came down to see his true face. The magic of popularity lies in this. Many people who might have dismissed him during the "Voice of Everything" are now willing to see him. Hardly crowded.Sun Hanqing worked hard to protect his safety, and Wu Xiaoyue, who was cosplaying transparently by his side, also chuckled lightly: "I really didn't expect me to be here today."

Because he participated in the MV of "The Best Friend" in Yuanshang's album "The Beginning", Wu Xiaoyue instantly stood out from the transparent state. He changed his agent, had new resources, and was always brought by Yuanshang After publicity, recently, there are quite a few people who can recognize his name.He quickly received an audition for a TV series and felt the sweetness of being popular, but Wu Xiaoyue was not as happy as he had imagined.Those roaring voices of enthusiastic flattery seemed to be the hand to remove the veil that covered the world in his heart, and the rules of human nature became more and more naked.He thought of the cold reception he received when he was unknown, and the difference between him and now is far more than nothing. Maybe one day he will pass out again, and they should change back to the previous dismissive attitude, right?How many people can help you in your most difficult time like Yuan Shang?

A group of people squeezed into the elevator, and the accompanying column team leader hurriedly pressed the button on the top floor. The dressing room and lounge on the top floor are only open to special guests.Wu Xiaoyue remembered that when he first joined the group "Voice of All Things", he made a mistake to go up with the judges once, and when he came back, Wu Binqing mercilessly taught him a lesson and reminded him to "pay attention to his identity".identity?What identity?

Wu Xiaoyue smiled, and paid less attention to those passing clouds.

The column planner graciously surrounded Yuanshang and Wu Xiaoyue to revise the lines for them, and added one line after another to the promotional lines of the related album. The sound of wheels gurgling came from far away, and the chief planner smiled and stood up: "Should It’s the props that have been delivered.”

As soon as the words fell, I heard a voice of care: "Planner Li, the things have been delivered!"

The voice was somewhat familiar, and Yuan Shang subconsciously glanced at it when his eyes fell on the table book, just as the other party also cast his gaze. The moment the eyes intersected, Yuan Shang raised his eyebrows and did not speak, but the other party opened his eyes wide in astonishment.

"You...!" Wu Binqing exclaimed, and then held back immediately, his face was green and white, not to mention how pretty it was.Yuanshang didn't even look at him. After knowing who it was, he turned his head indifferently. Wu Xiaoyue, who was being taken to change clothes, just came out at this time, but he didn't have such a good concentration. He immediately sneered: "Planner Wu, really Where in life do we not meet each other!"

When he was in "Voice of All Things", Wu Binqing rode on the heads of all the players. Those who follow me prosper and those who oppose me perish, with black bonuses and black pay. How can it be described as harsh?Wu Xiaoyue still remembers the words that the other party pointed at the players' noses and scolded them. Seeing Yuanshang reading a book at ease, and remembering the dismissive expression when the other party talked about Yuanshang at the beginning, he suddenly felt amused.

Yuanshang is not the original Yuanshang, and Wu Binqing is obviously not the same Wu Binqing as before. Hearing Wu Xiaoyue's address, the female planner of the program group surnamed Li looked at each other for a while, what did not understand?Covering his mouth, he smiled: "That's right, Director Wu seems to have done the planning of "The Voice of All Things" before entering the props department? Oh, isn't that familiar with Mr. Yuan?"

Wu Binqing was transferred to the logistics department after being dismissed from the planning job, and became the director of plumbing and equipment, carrying things around in dust every day.He smiled awkwardly and just said, "It's okay. It's okay."

Yuanshang smiled, but didn't answer, Wu Xiaoyue also rolled his eyes, and walked away boredly, Wu Binqing took over the receipt of props signed by the column team, and couldn't stay behind for a moment amidst the seemingly absent looking eyes. The place of residence was abandoned and fled.

His heart was beating up and down, and even his liver, spleen, lungs, kidneys, and intestines were throbbing with severe pain. He hated Wu Xiaoyue for embarrassing him in person, and couldn't help worrying whether Yuanshang would because of old grudges. Make trouble for yourself.

Regret, but what is the use of regret?

If he knew this day would come, how could he be so confident at the beginning?
