Chapter 18 Polarization
Perhaps Zhang Xiyang and "Song to Myself" are indeed a match made in heaven. The recording was completed the next day without much effort, and Lin Xi quickly arranged for the release of the song.
The work efficiency of the Shinhwa Music Department is still very worthy of recognition.
The battle for the season rankings this month has already begun, but "Song to Myself" is not strictly airborne. After all, it is only one day late, which is already earlier than Lin Xi expected.
Before the song was officially released, Lin Xi specially talked to Zhang Xiyang.
"Teacher Zhang."
Lin Xi looked at Zhang Xiyang seriously.
"If you don't release a song for three years, I won't rush you. This is a choice and decision I made, but now that you have released a song, you must cooperate with the promotion. This is your responsibility for the song and yourself. "
Zhang Xiyang was once very popular, and his fans were all over Qinzhou.
It is so popular that countless people in the industry believe that it has the potential to become the king of singers!
However, after the divorce, Zhang Xiyang's condition became worse and worse, and his songs became fewer and fewer. Until three years ago, he became completely silent. He can no longer be seen in the notices, and the music industry is almost no longer able to find this person.
If it weren't for this reason, Sanbu would not have broken up with Zhang Xiyang.
After Lin Xi brought Zhang Xiyang to the Thirteenth Department, she did not force him to start work. She felt that she could wait, and she had the patience that the Three Departments did not have.
It was like I had been waiting for my brother to come out of that period of darkness.
Now three years have passed, as if it was destined that my brother and Zhang Xiyang, two people who were once bound by old wounds, have such a wonderful intersection.
Lin Xi felt that her patience had paid off, but she could not help but worry, was Zhang Xiyang really willing to accept her arrangement?
"Do not worry."
Zhang Xiyang looked up at Lin Xi. Under the bangs that were not taken care of much, his eyes were not cloudy.
"I will cooperate with all the propaganda of the ministry. Some songs should not be let down."
There was a pause.
He suddenly thanked him softly.
"Thank you for waiting for me. I also know that there are more people waiting for me in the outside world."
"Three days later, "Yunge Hui", this is your first stop for promotion!"
Lin Xi smiled and used this song to announce to the outside world that Zhang Xiyang, who was not afraid of the king of singers back then, is back again.
“Okay, I also miss the scene a little bit.”
At the same time Zhang Xiyang decided to return to the Qinzhou music scene.
Lin Zhibai also received a message from his sister on his mobile phone:
“Running in at eight o’clock tonight.”
"OK."
Lin Zhibai didn’t say much.
The system assigned an additional question to Lin Zhibai for this task.
That is to say, he won the first place in the season standings.
Lin Zhibai felt there was little hope.
It’s not that this song is bad, of course it’s good, very good. Lin Zhibai likes it very much.
It’s just that everyone knows that many times, the best work may not be the most popular in the market. If you use the style of this song to hit the charts, you will still suffer a loss in the end.
However, the charm of good songs cannot be easily wiped out.
Lin Zhibai doesn’t expect “Song to Myself” to top the season charts. His goal this time is just to top ten.
If it's just the top ten in the season rankings, it should be possible, right?
Didn’t I say that Zhang Xiyang was once very popular? He should still have some fans, right?
The season rankings are of course all about quality, but the support of fans is definitely a factor that cannot be ignored.
Haven’t you seen that in the previous life, Xiao Xianrou was able to suppress countless seniors just by relying on the power of his fans?
Of course, Blue Star's market is not that demonized. Lin Zhibai recently studied the season charts and found that although the top songs here are popular, they also have enough connotation to support them.
This is the opportunity for "Song to Myself".
Perhaps I should have more confidence in this song to be on the charts?
…
Eight o'clock that night.
Several music player platforms that have cooperated with Shinhwa Entertainment have simultaneously arranged for the launch of "Song for Myself".
In a rental house.
After get off work, Zhao Yu was as usual, snuggled up comfortably on the sofa and listened to music.
Sudden.
Your phone received a prompt: [The musician you follow, Bai Di, has released a new song! 】
“Bai Di?”
Zhao Yu suddenly became excited.
After listening to "Xiaochou" last month, Zhao Yu liked it very much, so he specially paid attention to Bai Di on the Huoshaoyun platform.
In this way, as long as the other party has new works, you will receive a reminder.
Click to take a look.
The song is called "Song to Myself". The title of the song was surprising, but after listening to music for so many years, Zhao Yu had seen a lot of weird song titles, so Zhao Yu didn't think much about it. However, the singer of this song made him stunned for several seconds.
Zhang Xiyang?
Is it the Zhang Xiyang who was so popular three years ago that he even defeated the King of Singers on the season rankings once and successfully reached the top?
Haven’t heard from this man for many years.
Zhao Yu also listened to some of Zhang Xiyang's songs back then, and he still has a few of them on his phone, which he occasionally takes out to listen to. Unexpectedly, this person has returned!
The first work to return is a collaboration with Bai Di, the creator of "Xiaochou"!
Is this considered a strong alliance? Zhao Yu suddenly became more excited and immediately clicked on it to listen.
This song lasts for four minutes and thirty-eight seconds.
Zhao Yu was still very interested when he first listened.
But as he listened, Zhao Yu's brows wrinkled slightly.
How would you rate this song?
I feel that the composition is very skillful and the lyrics are also very good.
Although the words are not as gorgeous as "Xiaochou", they seem to be more straightforward and simple.
There is a very poignant feeling, that kind of transparent sense of love and life, even more direct to the heart than "Xiaochou", as if it was tailor-made by Bai Di for Zhang Xiyang——
Many people know that Zhang Xiyang was unable to recover after the divorce.
And every word that Zhang Xiyang sings in this song, isn't it him who sings it?
But the problem is, I don’t think it sounds good!
Sometimes a thousand words or ten thousand words are not worth the weight of a bad word.
To use an inappropriate metaphor, it’s like those classical piano pieces. Although they are of extremely high quality and are highly praised by some people, I just can’t appreciate them. I can only vaguely feel that there is something special about them.
The same goes for this song "Song to Myself".
Zhao Yu felt that the melody was not catchy enough and the style was a bit uninspiring. At the climax, it felt a little interesting, but that was all.
"no feelings."
Zhao Yu shook his head, but for the sake of Bai Di and Zhang Xiyang, he listened a second time.
There is nothing I can do, I still don’t feel it.
He clicked on the comment area with some curiosity. He wanted to see what the outside world would say about Bai Di's new song and Zhang Xiyang, a once popular singer, returning to the music scene.
“The missing person is back!?”
The first hot comment made Zhao Yu smile knowingly.
I haven’t heard from Zhang Xiyang for two or three years. Could it be that the missing person in the music industry has returned?
"Is Bai Di the composer of "Xiaochou"?"
“Bai Di’s new song is a collaboration with Zhang Xiyang, who has returned to the music scene. One plus one is greater than two. Why does it feel like this song is so ordinary?”
“Plus one upstairs, I think so too.”
“Perhaps it’s because “Xiaochou” made me have too high expectations for Bai Di?”
“I have very high expectations for Zhang Xiyang, but this song doesn’t attract me that much.”
“Are you serious upstairs? Or is my taste too niche? Is this song not good enough? Maybe I’m being pretentious, and I shed tears just halfway through listening to it.”
"I am a fan of Zhang Xiyang. I think this song is very, very good. I am extremely grateful to Bai Di and welcome the return of the great devil in the music industry!"
“Why is Zhang Xiyang the big devil in the music world? Can this song be called the big devil?”
"Lao Zhang was so popular back then. If it weren't for the influence of his divorce, it wouldn't be unusual for him to become the king of singers now. Besides, his singing skills are no worse than those of the king of singers. As for this song, it's hard for me to evaluate it. I can't express the feeling, but I I'm sure I like it, or I feel like this song was tailor-made for Zhang Xiyang by Bai Di, so the song is titled "A Song for Myself"."
“This song is no worse than "Xiaochou"."
“I just want to say that this song is indeed Zhang Xiyang’s comeback!”
“I beg to differ.”
“It is recommended to listen to it several times. You need to listen to this song repeatedly to taste Zhang Xiyang’s taste. What this song sings seems to be the singer’s own story.”
Ah this?
Are the comments a bit polarizing?
Zhao Yu didn’t scroll down any further, but he just felt that his taste could represent the majority.
Because in the first ten hot reviews, except for irrelevant comments, 60% of them said they could not get this song.
“It has to be "Xiaocou"."
Zhao Yu muttered and switched back to playing "Xiaocou".
He has actually been listening to this song for more than ten days and is a little tired of it, but he can still listen to it for a while.
This is a normal thing. As time goes by, you will get tired of anything. After all, there are very few songs that you can listen to for ten and a half consecutive days and still be the same as when you first heard them.
At the same time Zhao Yu lost interest in Bai Di's new song.
Some people in the Qinzhou music scene also noticed this new song.
“Bai Di?”
“Zhang Xiyang?”
They are really two names that people have to care about...
