Chapter 320 It’s Time to Give the European and American Music Scene some Strength
Time flies like water.
February 8th will soon arrive.
There are only seven days left before the 1999 Spring Festival Gala.
Rehearsal for the Spring Festival Gala.
It’s also the time to be most intimate.
In addition to rehearsing for the Spring Festival Gala, Xu Chen is thinking about the concepts of Japanese albums and European and American singles.
Today is different from the past.
Xu Chen used to dominate the world arrogantly and was like an animal. All the twelve songs in the album are classics handed down from the Chinese music scene.
Such a barbaric approach.
In fact, it is very unprofessional. Singer albums all have album concepts. This is not to show off, but the songs must convey a certain artistic conception.
Originally a sad love song.
If you have to release an album with hip-hop and happy rock, the fans will not be able to relate to the emotions at all, and they will only feel a kind of psychotic disorder.
Xu Chen can do this arrogantly.
Purely due to the high quality of the album's songs, as long as fans listen to the album, there is always one of the twelve songs that can move them.
Japanese albums and European and American singles.
Xu Chen wasn't going to do this anymore. He was already a king, so he had to be more polite and reasonable.
European and American singles.
Xu Chen's single concept is inspirational.
Thanks to the harmonious and orderly environment of capitalism, there are many wealthy people in the European and American music circles. Without government support, their lives are confused.
Or.
Inspirational songs allow Xu Chen to squeeze out as much of Pepsi's brand effect as possible.
Skip the Pepsi-Cola European and American marketing single Shots (Wudang Mountain March).
Xu Chen plans to release three more singles and put together an EP (mini album) to test the waters.
If the album performs well, we can follow the trend and release a second European and American album.
The plan went well, and in 2000, Xu Chen would be able to appear in the Grammy Awards in the European and American music circles.
There are three European and American inspirational singles left.
The first song: in the end, the Chinese translation has always been consistent. In 2001, Linkin Park released the song i as a single. It is a very classic European and American inspirational song that is popular all over the world!
The second song: Wake, translated into Chinese as Wake, a Marvel mix-cut divine song sung by the Australian rock group Hillsong Youth & Freestyle, very classic!
The third song: THe ordinary Road, the English version of the Chinese inspirational song The Ordinary Road.
The EP single starts with "In the End", feeling confused and confused, continues with Shots' determination to forge ahead, reaches the peak of wake glory, and ends with an ordinary road, returning to the original nature and washing away all the glory.
actually.
The English versions of Endo's Chinese songs are almost all of good quality and are available in Japanese, Korean and English.
For example, the English version is because of love, the Korean version is the most beautiful expectation, the Japanese version is dreaming of Xizhou, and Cai Cai’s exclusive BGM-style love song.
Xu Chen's first European and American EP, The Ordinary Road, is an attempt to conquer the world with English versions of Chinese songs, to feed back the country, and then promote Hualiu around the world!
There is a long way to go to achieve the goal, so let’s leave it aside for now.
certainly.
Even if we leave out The Ordinary Road, we only use Shots, in the end, and wake.
Xu Chen believes that he can also dominate the European and American music scene, and then use the arrogant and rogue animal attitude of one album per year to dominate the European and American music scene and become the emperor!
That's right.
It's time to turn up the intensity for Michael Jackson!
Before the millennium.
Michael Jackson is still active in the global music scene, but he is obsessed with business and making money at concerts, and has few new works.
If Xu Chen acted like a Chinese.
Dominate the European and American music scene.
Maybe Michael Jackson, under the threat of Xu Chenfengzhuan, could sublimate to the fullest and live out his second life?
Nothing is Impossible.
There's nothing to be afraid of!
Japanese music scene.
From 8cm mini albums, they are gradually dominated by 12cm albums, with an average capacity of 700M and a representative track of at least 12 songs.
Xu Chen's Japanese album is planned to be mainly R&B and rhythm and blues.
R&B is a new music trend in the Japanese music scene. With MISIA leading the Japanese R&B trend, Utada Hikaru has thoroughly carried forward R&B.
The time is 1999 and 2000.
After the millennium.
The Japanese music scene has gradually declined. In the era of the idol war, the Japanese music scene ignored music and purely fought for popularity. Utada Hikari also fell.
Talk.
Wang Xiaojing's girl band Girls Twelve Band from Mainland China became popular in Japan because of the influence of the Japanese Idol War.
otherwise.
Do you really think that pure music, which is disliked by Chinese people, can be liked by Japanese otakus?
Do you really have no idea about appreciating music or appreciating Chinese classical women?
The most fundamental reason for Wang Xiaojing's defeat in the Chinese music scene is simply that the Chinese music scene has been fiercely competitive for thousands of years, and there is no room for idol groups to survive.
With the invasion of Hallyu, the Chinese music scene has entered the age of auditions. At this point, the Chinese music scene is just like the Japanese music scene, completely in ruins.
certainly.
The most essential reason is the impact of the Internet music era. Even albums can't be sold, so I still have to work hard and make some bad money to survive.
That's the only way to do it.
There is not much to say about the new Japanese music album. Xu Chen mainly chose a single for Cai Cai.
It’s the Feng Love Song mentioned above.
Caicai is a mid-bass singer and is uniquely qualified to sing lyrical songs like Feng Love Song.
Moreover.
Feng Liange and Cai Cai have similar temperaments, which may give Cai Cai a second spring in her singing career.
It doesn’t matter if you don’t have a glow.
Doesn’t this allow Chen to rejuvenate Cai Cai? After all, Cai Cai is guaranteed to make money without losing anything. (Cai Cai: Are you saying that I still made money when you slept with me???)
CCTV studio.
"Xiao Chenzi, I performed so well, are you fascinated?" Anita Mui walked off the stage with the microphone in hand.
Seeing Xu Chen, I couldn't help but be happy.
She participated in the recording of the 1999 Spring Festival Gala and brought the Lanruo Temple Divine Comedy "Moonlight by the Bed", which can be described as sinister and full of ghosts.
He was ridiculed by mainland netizens.
For a joyful human event like the Spring Festival Gala, there shouldn’t be any underworld programs.
But the 1999 Spring Festival Gala is indeed a classic.
Baodao singer Ren Xianqi and Hong Kong singer Anita Mui both participated in the Spring Festival Gala recording.
Zhao Dongbei and Song Dandan brought classic sketches yesterday, today and tomorrow.
Um.
That is, hold your throat and cough, and sing: "The spring breeze of reform is blowing all over the earth, the Chinese people are really up to date, the world is so crazy, all mice are like cats, Qi Dongdong, Qi Dongqiang."
Anita Mui felt good about herself, with a proud look on her face, and said sternly: "Don't be obsessed with me, she is just a legend."
Xu Chen raised his eyebrows, raised his thumbs up, and said sarcastically: "You are a performing artist from the underworld. Hurry up and apply with the director. There is nothing wrong with being on the New Year's Eve. It is not an underworld operation."
"roll roll roll."
Anita Mui exclaimed angrily: "Isn't that called coldness? The lonely and lonely fairy Chang'e in the Moon Palace, alas, you don't understand even after I say it. As for my concubine, I want to sleep with her in my arms at night."
"If you sleep with your arms around Sister Concubine, who should I sleep with?" Xu Chen was a little willful. He didn't want to sleep with Anita Mui in his arms.
"hey-hey,"
Anita Mui came up to Xu Chen and whispered, "Why don't I ask Marshal Zeng to come over and you can sleep with him in your arms? He is not a vegetarian anyway."
"Really?" Xu Chen, the melon-eating pioneer, jumped up and down.
Marshal Zeng actually likes dry roads. I really can’t tell. He really knows people and faces but doesn’t know their hearts. Who has suffered so much!
Xu Chen and Anita Mui gathered together in a heap, smiling knowingly from time to time, showing expressions that you know.
Marshal Zeng’s rehearsal ended.
When they arrived on the mainland, they naturally wanted to worship Xu Chen on the top of the mountain.
The fat body swayed over like a Donald Duck, with the iconic duck voice, quacking and laughing: "Brother Xu, we meet again."
Spring Festival Gala Studio.
Xu Chen's treatment is very obvious.
The program staff all respect him. The host Zhou Tao is waiting for him at the entrance of CCTV, not to mention the Spring Festival Gala director Chen Yulu personally came to discuss the details of the program.
Although Marshal Zeng, who came from Hong Kong and Taiwan, was treated with courtesy, it was just Chinese hospitality and no one respected him.
Xu Chen nodded politely, suppressed a smile and said, "Brother Zeng is still as charming as before. The mainland welcomes you."
A few polite words.
Ren Xianqi was waiting impatiently at the door.
The girl opposite his show rehearsed early and was waiting for Xu Chen outside after it was over.
Seeing him, he slapped Xu Chen on the back and said deliberately: "Xiao Xu, you are not very good at being a landlord. If you act like this, don't say that I am cheating next time you go to Treasure Island."
Xu Chen shrugged, could only say goodbye to Marshal Zeng, and left with Ren Xianqi and Anita Mui.
Marshal Zeng's skin turned pale, blue, and purple for a while.
Xu Chen obviously wanted to entertain his friends, but he didn't even want to say a word of false politeness. He made it clear that he didn't take Marshal Zeng seriously and didn't care about his face at all.
With eyes as big as a mouse staring at Xu Chen's back, Marshal Zeng's smile never diminished.
Hold back your anger.
At this time.
Someone came over enthusiastically, laughed loudly from afar, and said enthusiastically: "Mr. Zeng, I have admired your name for a long time."
Marshal Zeng raised his head and tightened his eyebrows.
"Mr. Zeng, this is my business card. I am Wang Zhongjun, the general manager of Huayi. I came here specially to visit Mr. Zeng and see Mr. Zeng finish his rehearsal. You have worked hard. Why don't you give me a small reward from Mr. Zeng? I have organized a banquet. ."
Marshal Zeng looked at the business card, a mainland film and television company.
Then he smiled with his plump face and said with his signature duck voice: "It turns out to be Boss Wang. I have heard about Boss Wang's majestic deeds in Hong Kong..."
Wang Zhongjun wanted to connect Hong Kong, so he naturally took care of him in every possible way.
Marshal Zeng's pores all felt smooth after being flattered.
Leng Leng thought, after all, Xu Chen is just an alien from the mainland, the remaining mainlanders.
Marshal Zeng smiled, he liked this feeling of being superior to others.
…………
in the car.
Anita Mui couldn't hold it in any longer, so she leaned in front of Xu Chen and said, "Xiao Xuzi, Marshal Zeng is known as Big Brother in the world of Hong Kong. Why don't you give him face? I think he really wants you to invite him." He has a meal or something.”
"I'm very proud of him." Xu Chen reached out and pushed Anita Mui's cheek away.
He shrugged and said nonchalantly: "They're all just profit-seekers. Even if he doesn't like me, if he makes money, believe it or not, he will smile happier when he sees me than when he sees his father."
"If I can't help him make money, even if I hire him as a team, a person like him won't look at me seriously. Anyway, he has a lot of things to ask me for, so I can show his face and save trouble."
Xu Chen suddenly laughed and said: "Xiaomei, besides, do you think anyone can come to my party? You are just lucky, otherwise."
"What else?" Anita Mui was furious. Her grandson became more and more arrogant. She really wanted to punch him three times.
"You want to know?" Xu Chen deliberately prolonged his tone and said coquettishly, "I won't tell you."
"I'll beat you to death!" Anita Mui jumped on Xu Chen and punched the farmer three times.
Ren Xianqi was so happy that he secretly yelled: "Just in the face, okay, this trick is like a monkey stealing a peach, a lazy donkey will turn over, haha, Miss Mei, you are exposed."
We went all the way to Xu Chen's villa at Ziyu Villa.
Anita Mui grinds her teeth so hard.
Every inch of land in Hong Kong is precious. Even Anita Mui's mansion is small in size. Compared with Xu Chen's Purple Jade Villa, it is a bit underwhelming.
It is also the first time for Ren Xianqi to visit the mainland.
His album is not as profitable as Xu Chen. Xu Chen is making money in Asia. His album is in the Chinese music scene, and people complain bitterly: "The dog is rich, the dog is rich."
Xu Chen immediately triggered the basic qualities of showmanship.
He looked extremely unbeatable and said cowardly: "Oh, it actually doesn't matter. My sister insisted on buying it for me. Isn't this a waste of money? I refused for a long time." ’
"Oh, I can't help it. My wife is too rich and likes me too much. Xianqi, it's actually quite painful."
Xu Chen's eyebrows tightened in pain, and he said with aggrievedness: "You know, well, this kind of rich woman with long legs, good singing, lots of money, and beauty is really not good to eat. Now I No more worries. ’
"Alas!" Xu Chen let out a long sigh.
"What the hell!" Ren Xianqi and Anita Mui looked into each other's eyes and immediately pounced on them. The stupid pretender must be beaten to death.
Make a fuss in front of the villa.
Xu Chen was about to take the key and open the door.
At this time.
The door was pushed open from the inside, and warm light leaked from the house, illuminating the cold night.
Mother Wang was wearing an apron, and when she saw Xu Chen, her eyes could not help but be filled with joy.
He glanced at Anita Mui, who was hanging on Xu Chen's left arm, and Ren Xianqi, who was pulling Xu Chen's clothes and kicking Xu Chen's butt, with a smile on his face: "Xiao Chen is back, have you brought your friends? It's cold outside, come in quickly. ."
Xu Chen was stunned for a moment, then softly shouted: "Mother Wang, these two are my friends, her name is Anita Mui, and his name is Ren Xianqi."
"Yeah, I've listened to their songs. They are all very good singers." Mother Wang's emotional intelligence is not low, and she praised Anita Mui and Ren Xianqi enthusiastically.
It made my husband blush a little.
This was the first time I came to visit him, and I didn't bring any gifts. It was mainly because Xu Chen was a pretentious person, so bringing him a gift was just in vain.
Arrived at the house.
It was brightly lit and lively, with some sitting in front of the mahjong playing mahjong, and some sitting in front of the sofa bragging.
The smell of rice fills the kitchen.
Sister Concubine was wearing an apron and following behind Mama Wang. Her plump and fair cheeks were a little at a loss as she stared at Mama Wang in confusion as she taught her how to cook.
Xu Chen immediately laughed.
Concubine's ears moved slightly and she turned her head to look at Xu Chen.
Then.
Mother Wang punished her, hit her on the head, and said that she was not attentive and would not even be able to cook for her children in the future. Do you want to starve your son to death?
Little Sister Ou and Zhang Yadong’s wife Dou Ying laughed.
I feel that the cool queen of the Chinese music scene turns out to be a stupid kid who can't handle anything in front of her mother.
Almost all Xu Chen's friends are here.
After all, it was a party a year ago.
As soon as I saw Xu Chen, these kids were clamoring for him to get some hard stuff. They usually kept it hidden, but it was almost Chinese New Year and they were still wondering if they could become the King of Chinese.
You can't just abdicate and make way for someone more worthy.
Xu Chen bah bah bah, told Anita Mui and Ren Xianqi to do whatever they wanted, and he carried good tea, good wine, and good cigarettes to share with his friends.
We chatted with him for a while.
He groped to the kitchen, took off the apron tied around Concubine's neck, and pinched Concubine's plump and white cheeks.
Shameless, he came up to Mother Wang and shouted sweetly: "Mother Wang, I also want to learn some of our Wang's unique skills that are passed down from male to female. Wow, it smells so good. No wonder Sister Concubine is so good at singing. It's a family tradition, but Mother Wang, all your efforts are devoted to cooking."
Little Sister Ou and Dou Ying were stunned.
You boy, you are quite good at coaxing your mother-in-law.
Mother Wang complained and stared at the concubine, then smiled and led Xu Chen to work in the kitchen. Xu Chen felt sorry for her daughter, so she was naturally happy from the bottom of her heart.
Feifei leaned her back against the kitchen door, watching her mother and the little puppy talking and laughing. She suddenly became quiet, and the fatigue from running to the concert was gone.
This is our home.
Huang Bo and Zhang Yadong, the chamber pot eunuchs, were miserable and were scolded by their wives.
The Chinese pop star Xu Chen is busy cooking, but you guys are throwing yourself at the mahjong table. This is so disappointing.
Huang Bo and Zhang Yadong, the chamber pot's young eunuchs, were indignant.
Depend on.
Xu Chen, the grandson, has not yet married a princess, so of course he has to show off in front of his mother-in-law.
We are all an old married couple, so we are just trying to make this point...
Huang Bo and Zhang Yadong, the little eunuchs of the chamber pot, were speechless. Their daughter-in-law was about to run away, so they could only swear that they would change their minds and start a new life when they returned.
Looking at Xu Chen who was so flattering.
He complains angrily: "Bah, if your husband is involved in involution, sooner or later you will make you cry!" (End of Chapter)
