Chapter 273: Killed All
The situation of Kugou's singles best-selling list is very telling.
With the two ace singers Su Chen and Xiaogang as escorts, even the worst singer can achieve good results.
Yang Mi is a very good example.
In the eyes of a talented singer like Yang Xun, Yang Mi is the typical representative of poor singing skills.
However, with the support of Su Chen's songs, it has always been a regular on the Kugou singles best-selling list.
This rule was not broken until Zhou Shen, another talented singer under Su Chen, appeared with Su Chen's songs.
There is no doubt that every song of Su Chen is a powerful weapon for charting.
Therefore, even though the data is already far ahead, Yang Xun still dare not take it lightly.
When "Blue Lotus" and "Fly Higher" were launched.
Yang Xun began to stare at the data of Penguin's new song best-selling list.
This battle, Yang Xun really can't afford to lose!
Back then, Liang Bo was just a student of The Voice. Yang Xun was one of the four mentors of The Voice. Now, Liang Bo has made a comeback after years of silence.
Is it possible that my former mentor is going to be Liang Bo's stepping stone?
Obviously not possible!
Wouldn’t that make the entertainment industry laugh to death?
At the same time, some self-media on the Internet are also taking the opportunity to take advantage of the popularity.
How could we miss such a good topic?
then.
"Former Voice of China mentor vs. former Voice of China student, who will win?"
"Liang Bo has the strength of Yang Xun at his peak!"
"Yang Xun's championship title is in jeopardy!"
"32 Lang, Brother Chen's new song is here, are you trembling?"
"Is Brother Chen going to start destroying Penguin Music?"
“…”
Celebrities in the music industry are all paying close attention to this.
Yang Xun's approach is a way out.
Since Su Chen's songs have dominated the Kugou singles best-selling chart, shifting positions is a wise move. Moreover, Yang Xun's results have also come out.
Yang Xun's success provides a model for all musicians.
In the future, when their new songs are released, they can also get better exposure and results through this method.
But however, look at the current situation.
Su Chen is not satisfied with dominating the Kugou singles best-selling list and is extending his "claws" to other music platforms!
How do you expect them to live like this?
In such a context, all singers actually support Yang Xun in their hearts.
They all hope that Yang Xun can snipe Liang Bo and defend the position of Penguin Music platform.
However, the development of things was far beyond their expectations.
Just five seconds later.
When they refreshed the data, they saw that the download volume of the two songs "Blue Lotus" and "Fly Higher" both exceeded 300,000!
It directly entered the top ten of the new song best-selling list!
This momentum is quite strong!
When Yang Xun saw this situation, he couldn't remain calm for a moment.
With an uneasy mood, Yang Xun clicked to play "Blue Lotus".
Brother Chen, can't you just be a human being?
Releasing ten new songs a month is not enough? How many more new songs should be released?
Damn, what's wrong with your brain? Why can you write so many good songs continuously?
This time, can you play two garbage songs to cheer me up?
Yes, Yang Xun really hopes that the quality of Su Chen’s two songs can be a little bit worse.
Only in this way will he have the opportunity to always dominate the top of the new song sales list.
As for the 300,000 downloads in these three seconds?
Yang Xun felt that this should be the accumulated knowledge of Su Chen’s fans.
To date, Su Chen’s number of fans has reached nearly 70 million.
Isn't it normal to have hundreds of thousands of indiscriminate fanatical fans?
In Yang Xun’s strong expectation.
A hoarse and determined singing voice suddenly rang out.
"Nothing can stop it!"
This surprised Yang Xun very much.
These days, few people dare to start with such a cappella singing.
Because the singing skills required of the singer are really too high.
For the current popular young stars, it is already a miracle if they can sing without going into pitch.
Can you still ask them to keep tune and keep the rhythm without accompaniment?
But of course, Yang Xun knew that Liang Bo's singing skills were very solid.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to win the championship of The Voice of China.
Just when Yang Xun was stunned.
The musical accompaniment and Liang Bo's singing sounded at the same time:
“Your desire for freedom.
You live a life of free imagination and have no worries in your heart.
I have felt lost during the dark years.
When you lower your head, you realize the road under your feet.
The free world in my heart is so clear and lofty.
The blue lotus blooms and never fades!
..."
After listening to this song, Yang Xun was even more stunned.
This... this song really expresses his inner thoughts!
You know, he had gone through a long period of lows before.
During that dark period, he was very confused and even wanted to give up.
However, I persisted because of my persistence and yearning for the world of music.
Don't let the dream wither.
Finally, the clouds cleared and the moon appeared.
Su Chen's song captures the thoughts and dreams of countless musicians!
With excitement.
Yang Xun played the song three times on repeat.
I felt healed.
However, at this moment, Yang Xun suddenly thought of a serious problem.
This song has such profound connotations, so the 300,000 downloads in three seconds were not deliberately inflated by Su Chen's fans.
But the audience really likes this song!
Thinking of this, Yang Xun nervously refreshed the data on the list again.
Suddenly, my heart sank to the bottom of the sea !
Because at this moment.
The download volume of "Blue Lotus" has exceeded three million!
What made Yang Xun even more desperate was...
Another song written by Su Chen and sung by Liang Bo, "Fly Higher", has also been downloaded more than three million times!
His new song "I Love the Big City" directly dropped to third place on the new song best-selling list!
Damn it, how can we play this?
The song "Blue Lotus" is so popular that Yang Xun has nothing to say.
Because this song is so healing.
But, could it be that...
Is “Fly Higher” also a song of the same level?
Brother Chen, do you have to be so exaggerated?
Unbelievably, Yang Xun couldn't help but click to play the song.
"Life is like a great river,
Sometimes peaceful, sometimes crazy.
…
I want to fly higher, fly higher
Dance like the wind and break free from the embrace!
..."
After listening to this song, Yang Xun felt that his whole body was on fire.
However, the expression on his face seemed as if petrified!
Damn it, with these two songs out, in comparison, his song "I Love the Metropolis" is just a pop song, without any nutritional value.
What can we use to fight back?
Seeing such a result, the Internet exploded.
People from all walks of life were shocked by the dominance displayed by Su Chen.
"Is this going to kill me, my brother Chen?"
"The four major music platforms have all been slaughtered by Brother Chen!"
"In my impression, Su Chen's songs have never lost to others!"
"It's so easy to complete the counterattack! Brother Chen, you will have no friends in the future if you continue like this! Doesn't this make others look like rubbish?"
“…”
People in the music industry have begun to feel insecure.
In the past, everyone hoped that the quality of Su Chen’s songs would decline after they became popular.
But the reality is.
Su Chen has released more than ten songs in a single month for two consecutive months.
However, every song created is so classic.
So, gradually, everyone gave up the idea of waiting for Su Chen to "kill himself".
A more realistic approach is.
Like Yang Xun, choose other music platforms to release songs.
But now.
Judging from the situation, Su Chen is not satisfied with occupying only one platform of Kugou Music!
If Su Chen continues to expand like this, or disperses his singers to various major music platforms to release songs, then other singers and musicians will never have a chance to succeed, right?
Wouldn't the music industry from now on become Su Chen's world?
Su Chen did not make any response to this.
Su Chen knew that he couldn't expand in music indefinitely.
First of all, I don’t have the energy to do so. Secondly, no matter how many songs I have in my collection, I can’t afford that much hassle.
If there is too much of it, won’t the songs be used up quickly?
That was something Su Chen didn't want to see.
Just like this, "steady and long-lasting" will do.
This month, if Liang Bo hadn't been so impatient, "Blue Lotus" and "Fly Higher" should have been released next month.
According to Su Chen’s plan, he will still release ten songs every month in the future.
The only difference is that now there is one more person to do the job, Liang Bo, so we can just share one of the quotas of Zhou Shen and Xiangshang boy with Liang Bo.
In other words, in the future, all artists in the studio will be treated equally, with each person having a quota of two new songs every month.
…
Since the entire team is composed of veteran members, the preparatory work was carried out very efficiently.
Two days later, all the preparations were completed.
Zhong Lei and Zhong Jun held a grand opening ceremony for Su Chen's first film "Love Is Not Blind".
Reporters from various entertainment media, self-media, and internet celebrities gathered together.
After a set of processes.
Now we have come to the most popular question-and-answer session with reporters.
The reporters had been holding back a lot of questions for a long time, and now they all threw them at Su Chen.
"Brother Chen, according to industry insiders, your income from making movies is unlikely to be as high as that from making TV series! What do you think about this?"
"Some people say that you are going from a high point to a low point when you move from TV series to movies? What do you think?"
"Brother Chen, including you, all your actors have no experience in the big screen. Will this lead to a bad movie?"
"The investment budget for this movie is only 9 million, a low-budget movie. Does this mean that this movie is just a hobby for you, Brother Chen?"
"If this movie fails, Brother Chen, will you be honest and go back to filming TV series and never get involved in the film industry again?"
“…”
These are actually the issues that the entire network is most concerned about.
Faced with such a situation, Su Chen gave a simple answer.
“No one can predict the benefits.”
"Which one has a higher ceiling, TV or movies? I think I don't need to waste my words on this question, right?"
“The actors I selected are all talented and capable of handling any scenario!”
"Small costs often produce high-quality products."
"My focus from now on will be making movies."
“…”
Su Chen's remarks were broadcast live on the Internet and reached the ears of people from all walks of life.
It immediately aroused heated discussions from all parties.
"Su Chen doesn't have any confidence in himself!"
"It's obvious that Su Chen's answer is avoiding the main point."
"They are all actors from TV dramas, and almost all of them are artists under Su Chen's studio. I think this movie is just for Su Chen's own entertainment!"
"I am very much looking forward to the release of this movie as soon as possible, because I really want to see, apart from those crazy fans of Su Chen, is there anyone willing to pay for his movie?"
“…”
Coincidentally, at this time.
The famous director Zhang Yimou and producer Zhang Weiping are promoting their new movie "Three Shots Surprise".
Yes, in this time and space, the two Zhangs have not broken up yet.
The film "Three Shots Surprise" co-produced by the two has just entered the mid-to-late editing stage.
The entertainment reporters at the scene received news about Su Chen’s opening ceremony.
He immediately asked Zhang Yimou a targeted question.
"Director Zhang, Su Chen's film Love Is Not Blind has started filming. Do you think this film has the potential to be a success?"
Zhang Yimou:
"No one can predict the outcome of movies. Here, I wish Su Chen all the best!"
In fact, Zhang Yimou was very pessimistic about Su Chen's actions.
It’s just that it’s not convenient to express my true thoughts in front of the media.
Many outstanding TV directors wanted to break into the film industry, but ended up in failure.
Zhang Yimou felt that Su Chen could not escape such a fate.
The reason is simple, the cast is terrible.
As a TV drama director, you may not have any experience in directing movies, and you may not have a high investment budget.
But the cast has to be decent.
You know, a movie ultimately depends on the actors.
If Su Chen picked some talented movie stars to star in "Love Is Not Blind".
This movie still has a chance of being successful.
However, Su Chen chose all TV drama actors under his studio.
There's nothing wrong with mixing one or two TV actors into a movie.
However, how could this be successful if all the actors were actors from TV dramas?
Zhang Yimou knew it better than anyone else.
What a huge difference there is between making TV and making movies.
The acting skills displayed by a TV actor in front of the movie camera are so crude and ridiculous.
How crude would a movie performed by a group of TV actors be?
Zhang Yimou simply couldn't imagine it.
Another reporter asked:
"According to Su Chen's quick shooting speed, he might run into your "Three Shots Surprise". Director Zhang, do you think Su Chen's movie will pose a threat to your movie?"
Of course Zhang Yimou knew that the entertainment reporter was deliberately trying to provoke a fight.
At the moment he smiled faintly:
"We should be more tolerant towards new directors."
"Comparing Su Chen's new work with my movie is unfair to Su Chen!"
at the same time.
There were also entertainment reporters who asked questions to producer Zhang Weiping.
"Mr. Zhang, do you think Su Chen's movie will be as successful as his TV series?"
Zhang Weiping scoffed at this.
That is absolutely not possible.
Do you think it's easy for a movie to earn 2 billion at the box office?
Su Chen is either too arrogant or he is born stubborn!
In fact, Zhang Weiping had been feeling uncomfortable with Su Chen for a long time.
Damn, he has invested in so many movies, but still doesn’t make as much money as Su Chen does from filming TV series!
How would you feel about this film businessman who has been struggling for more than ten years?
But of course, Zhang Weiping cannot offend Su Chen openly.
Otherwise, the consequences will be serious.
"Su Chen probably wants to step out of his comfort zone and embrace new challenges!"
"I wish him success!"
Entertainment reporter:
"Mr. Zhang, do you think that the box office of Su Chen's "Love Is Not Blind" will have an impact on the box office of "Three Shots Surprise"? "
Zhang Weiping:
"My opinion is the same as Director Zhang's. We shouldn't be too harsh on newcomers and new works."
Damn it, you entertainment reporters are so mean, you are only trying to stir up trouble.
Entertainment reporter:
"Mr. Zhang, can you predict the box office of Su Chen's Love Is Not Blind?"
Zhang Weiping:
“It shouldn’t exceed his number of fans!”
Reporter Mengbi:
"What? Mr. Zhang, what do you mean?"
However, the smart reporters immediately understood.
"Mr. Zhang, are you saying that the box office of Su Chen's movie will not exceed 70 million?"
Zhang Weiping laughed:
"Just kidding!"
"What I want to say is that the box office of a movie is basically proportional to the scale of investment!"
What kind of waves can a small investment of several million create?
…
Zhang Yimou's answer was very official and no one could find fault with it.
However, as soon as Zhang Weiping's remarks were posted on the Internet, they immediately caused a sensation.
Because the irony in Zhang Weiping's words was too obvious.
"Mr. Zhang, are you saying that Brother Chen's movie is destined to fail?"
“I think this is sour!”
"In fact, to be fair, if Brother Chen invested 9 million in a movie and it could have a box office of 70 million, it would be considered a success!"
"Tens of millions in box office revenue? Compared to Su Chen's TV series, it's totally not enough!"
"I still say that Su Chen's entry into the film industry is an unwise decision!"
“…”
In fact, this is also the attitude of most knowledgeable people.
No matter how successful you, Su Chen, are in TV dramas, you are just a newbie in the film industry.
It is extremely difficult to succeed in a movie by having all TV actors in the cast.
Besides, even if you can earn tens of millions at the box office, what’s the point?
It would be better to just focus on filming a TV series.
It is easy to get a viewership rating of over 5%, and making tens or even hundreds of billions from a TV series is like a piece of cake.
Why bother making a movie and ruining your own reputation?
But all this.
Basically, it has no impact on Su Chen.
After the filming of "Love Is Not Blind" started, Su Chen focused on making his own movie.
I don't pay any attention to the various comments on the Internet that trample on me.
And inside.
Whether it is the brothers Zhong Lei and Zhong Jun, or everyone in the crew, they all have absolute trust in Su Chen.
In fact, everyone was holding back their energy.
They all devoted their whole heart and soul into the filming of the movie.
They want to clear their names!
Clear Su Chen’s name!
