Chapter 818
Sima Duoduo turned sideways slightly, raised her head, and looked out at the dark and hazy sky of Yingtianfu through the rain-drenched car window—although the manager said that today's rain was really bad, but maybe it was because of his mood. For this reason, she felt that the rain in Yingtianfu was really beautiful.
In fact, since receiving the phone call from Li Qian himself, for nearly twenty days, she has never been in a bad mood - it would be strange if she could be bad! Inside and outside the circle, I don't know how many people are envious and jealous!
Since their debut more than four years ago, the Four Beauties have released three studio albums in total, and the release of each album has brought their prestige, reputation and status in the world to a higher level. Today, because of the global sales of "Dream Back to Tang Dynasty", and because of football and the World Cup, the Four Great Beauty Bands have become the second Chinese music scene to break through the language barrier and officially enter the world.
What's more, this band was formed with Li Qian, Liao Liao, Cao Zhan and others as the core!
The live video of a band's concert won a stable rating of more than 10% on Shuntian Satellite TV, and even reached 11.7% at one point, which is the best proof of their popularity and popularity.
Who doesn't want to follow their concert to gain some popularity?
But what Sima Duoduo knew in his heart was that, in fact, no matter whether he chose a big pick in the domestic music scene or based on the closeness of his friends, he was not qualified.
The so-called concert tour, everyone knows that as long as the four big beauty bands are willing to sing, there is almost no need to worry about not being able to sell tickets, but they still only prepared four shows.
Four performances, three performers in one performance, totaling twelve people.
Minghu Culture has locked up at least four places.
According to the news from the Minghu Culture and Music Department, it has been widely circulated in the industry recently that Liao Liao is very popular in the American music circle. When they heard that her band is going to hold a concert, many global superstars in the United States have said that Willing to come over and make a friendly appearance-it is said that there are four concerts, one for each!
So, after all the calculations, there are actually only four places left for the domestic music scene.
Jinan Station is the first stop. As a rock band, the Four Great Beauties seem to be paying tribute to their predecessors, so they invited the Flying Band—in terms of status, qualifications, and achievements, they are almost the only ones in China who are qualified. In the Chinese music circle, it is barely comparable to the four beauties bands!
Flying Band gladly accepted the appointment.
Moreover, the first guest to appear at Jinan Station is the Flying Band. It can also be seen from another aspect that the lead singer guests invited to the concert of the Four Great Beauty Bands must be so high-quality!
Count with your fingers those singers who are not from the Minghu family, those with great names, Zhen Zhen, Liu Mingliang, Zhao Xinfu, Hu Yang, Huang Yuqing, the little kings and queens who have emerged in recent years, Zheng Guofeng , Li Xinru, etc.—only in terms of qualifications, these few people are probably qualified.
And she, Sima Duoduo, is not qualified in any aspect.
In terms of sales and influence, since she left the Wuxingwusu group, the albums she has released on Sony Records in the past few years have only sold about two million copies, and even if she is exhausted, she will not be able to pass the three million mark—— This sales volume, even in the record market, which is shrinking day by day after being impacted by the electronic music market, can only be regarded as ordinary, and it is hard to say what influence it has.
Not to mention that when Wu Xing Wu Su was on the verge of disbanding, Qi Jie also approached her, but she finally rejected the invitation of Minghu Culture and went to Sony Records - which is Minghu Culture's biggest music circle. opponent.
However, she was actually invited to the concert of the Four Great Beauties.
And it was Li Qian who called her personally.
When I received the phone call, my agent was going crazy, and I told Sister Zhenzhen, who was also beaming with joy, and kept encouraging and enlightening me—it’s been so many years, you just didn’t choose Minghu Culture back then, and it wasn’t a betrayal, besides, Qian'er is not the kind of person who holds grudges! Otherwise, I wouldn't have chosen you on purpose, and even called you in person like this!
Yes, she knew before that Li Qian was not a grudge.
In other words, she felt that Li Qian didn't bother to care about such a small matter in the music world.
So, back then, when she was embarrassed to speak, Zhen Zhen asked Li Qian for a song, and Li Qian readily agreed, as if he didn't mind what happened back then. It was only after that that Sima Duoduo wanted to treat him to a meal to express his gratitude, but he couldn't spare the time all the time—it was well known in the industry that he was busy.
Therefore, Sima Duoduo had no choice but to deliberately invite a few more good sisters who were in Wuxingwusu for two more games, tactfully passed Xie Bing and the others, and repeatedly expressed his gratitude.
However, now there is another surprise.
…………
When the car left the airport and drove into the city, the rain seemed to lighten up.
There was a bit of a traffic jam in the city, and it took nearly an hour to stop and go along the way before finally arriving at the hotel that Minghu Culture had booked in advance.
The car stopped, the assistant in front got out of the car first, and then she and the manager opened the door one after another.
After checking in at the front desk, I found out that they had booked a luxurious suite. Her manager couldn't help but sigh, "Minghu Culture is really rich!"
Sima Duoduo glanced at her, but said nothing.
After checking in and entering the luxurious suite, he found that it was enough for three people to live in, and he didn't need to pay for the assistant and agent to open the room. Sima Duoduo took out his mobile phone and sent a text message to Xie Mingyuan, expressing himself Arrived at the scheduled hotel.
Less than five minutes later, someone knocked on the door.
The assistant went to open the door, and Xie Mingyuan pushed the door in.
After he came in, the figure flashed, and Liao Liao actually walked in afterward.
Sima Duoduo's manager's eyes lit up immediately, and he hurried over to say hello. Sima Duoduo felt a little stressed, so he went over to shake hands with Xie Mingyuan and Liao Liao, and exchanged greetings.
The two of them seemed to just come to say hello. After all, Sima Duoduo came here specially for the concert, so of course they had to express it politely.
After they sat for a while and left, the manager turned around and said to Sima Duoduo, "Liao Liao looks like a superstar now!"—she is obviously a manager, and she usually looks up and down as an insider, so it is said that she is a star I have seen a lot, but when I met Liao Liao, I still had the appearance of "meeting a star".
Sima Duoduo was noncommittal.
Liao Liao is indeed a superstar far surpassing these domestic singers.
And... not just Liao Liao.
I think back when the old Wuxing Wusu was flying solo, I was considered to be the one with the best singing skills and the best voice quality among the five girls at that time. It is said that after each of them went solo, my prospects should be the brightest.
However, after a few years of development, it is obviously not the case.
After I joined Sony Records, I have been advocating for it for a year or two, but I insist on the original way, and I don’t want to sing those works that are too popular for Sony Records, and the style I write is cold, After coming and going, he was defined as a "niche singer".
The sales volume of two million copies is not low, and it can be regarded as the "backbone" of the music industry. Speaking of Sima Duoduo, fans know that her songs are relatively "cold", relatively "dull", and "sad". But if we really want to say that there are masterpieces that are famous all over the country and are all the rage, there is no one so far.
What a singer fears the most is not having a masterpiece that has been popular all over the country!
Without a representative work, the popularity, sales, and rankings will not increase, so if it is so easy, even participating in some parties, going out, and so on, the price will be low.
On the other hand, Wang Jingxue, Xie Bing, and Sun Ruoxuan, after joining Minghu Culture, embarked on a broad road that is completely different from their own!
The rose power group formed by the three of them used two albums to become popular in the Chinese music scene, successfully replacing Wuxingwusu's status in the arena, inheriting the fan base, and even expanding.
In the domestic music scene, when everyone mentions popular music scene forces, fast youth songs and sweet songs, the power of roses is simply a big part that cannot be bypassed!
And after the two albums, Sun Ruoxuan has gone solo, Sun Ruoxuan is now the first hostess in the domestic entertainment circle, with a big aura and a strong upward momentum, the host circle does not think of being second person.
Xie Bing is determined to take the path of inspirational sweet songs. Her image is already sweet, with the blessing of Li Qian's lyrics and music, and the blessing of the theme song of "Super Girl" once a year. So far, it has become a masterpiece of many popular songs in the country. She even starred in a nationally popular drama like "Meteor Garden", which made her aura of a youth idol even more aggravated.
Even Wang Jingxue, who is relatively low-key, is now mentioned in the music scene, and everyone recognizes that she is the closest singer to Li Qian in terms of music style in China, so although her style is cold and eccentric, her fan base is quite large. huge. And her dance, which was already very strong, has become more and more powerful now.
The worst must be Zhou Pingping.
At the beginning, she was considered to be the most popular among the audience in Wuxingwusu. She was a beauty with electric eyes. Later, before Wuxingwusu was split, she even started to accept movies, and she was the one who took the most advanced steps at that time. But later, when the old Wuxingwusu disbanded, she chose the most stable path in her opinion at the time, which was to stay at Huage Records, and then served as the captain of the new Wuxingwusu.
However, in recent years, who still remembers the five elements and my elements that were so popular back then?
They have even changed to the second group of newcomers until now, and they are still counting on the appearance of works such as "Sister and Sister Stand Up" left by the old five elements and five elements! As for the new albums made by Huage Records for them in the past few years, to be honest, it's just a prolongation of their lives - the sales volume is not as good as their own!
In the past one or two years, Zhou Pingping has been involved in the scandal of a wealthy family's mistress, and has been hyped by the media. She herself also wants to marry a wealthy family and become a concubine. As for her singing career, she has almost stagnated.
Thinking of this, she, who was going to practice the chords again after taking out her guitar, couldn't help but put down the guitar, got up and walked to the window, looking out at the foggy Yingtianfu City.
The light rain seems to be about to stop.
Sometimes when I think about it, I can’t help feeling a little bit of regret, although I firmly believe that what I am currently walking must be the path I most want to take.
But success and fame, sought after by thousands of people, who doesn't want it?
It's just that I used to stubbornly believe that with my own ability and talent, I can also succeed, but the facts have proved that there is a difference in talent between people.
Do you regret it?
Regret, do not regret.
The road is chosen by oneself, no matter how difficult it is, you have to go on.
It's just that at certain moments, when I see my good sisters from the past, and those people who were not significantly different from me in the past, but now they are enough to make me look up, I will feel a little bit of envy—hold back and just alright!
