Chapter 282 Preparing a New Album
The first thing I did when I returned to the company was to record all the songs for the graduation ceremony.
It had been several days since the graduation ceremony, but the popularity online was still unabated.
Several colleges and universities had also used these songs in the past few days, but since there was no accompaniment, they could only choose to sing a cappella.
Even if they sang a cappella, they were still very popular.
In the atmosphere of farewell during the graduation season, the accompaniment effect was actually not very important.
It took two days to finish the ten new songs, plus the re-recorded version of "The Wind Rises".
After recording the songs, Xu Nuo did not do any pre-heating publicity, and directly posted on Weibo, "Sorry to have kept you waiting for a long time, all the theme songs for the graduation season have been uploaded, and the re-recorded version of "The Wind Rises" has also been launched."
"The Wind Rises" was the starting point of his acquaintance with Lin Wanqing. This song has special meaning to both him and her, so he re-recorded a version at Lin Wanqing's request.
As soon as the Weibo was released, eager netizens swarmed in.
"I've finally waited for you. What have you been doing? Why have you been so quiet?"
"My youth is back!"
"I strongly request a duet version of "The Wind Rises"!"
All major music platforms immediately arranged for homepage recommendations.
Xu Nuo is a newcomer, but he is more popular than many first-tier singers. Giving him promotional resources is a completely mutually beneficial thing.
You make money, and I make money too.
The new song quickly dominated the new song charts after it was uploaded, and "Seven Miles of Fragrance" topped the charts.
Whether it is musicality or popularity, "Seven Miles of Fragrance" is a work that is worthy of being enshrined in the world.
As soon as "Seven Miles of Fragrance" was released, Zhang Feng called on behalf of Shanghai Media University, saying that after research and discussion, the school's music school has included "Seven Miles of Fragrance" in its school textbooks.
And the school intends to hire him as a specially-appointed teacher.
Xu Nuo refused the second one.
There are many stars in the entertainment industry who have crossed over to become teachers. The most famous ones include Liu Huan, He Jiong, and Su Bingtian.
However, as a star, Xu Nuo is already standing in the spotlight and being looked at by countless people.
Just graduated for a year, debuted for a few days, and became a professor at Shanghai Media University with a bachelor's degree, which will undoubtedly be questioned.
Just like Xu Nuo, singers who cross over to become actors will be questioned everywhere, and the outside world is generally not optimistic.
However, this kind of crossover is just a crossover, and fans will not have much reaction, at most they will complain a few words.
Being a teacher is different. Although the halo of teachers has been weakened over the years, the halo of the profession of teachers still exists.
If he changes from a singer to a teacher, the doubts he will receive will definitely be overwhelming, and everyone's spit can drown him.
Zhang Feng was stunned for a long time, and could only sigh that the young are formidable, and not every young person can resist such temptation.
In the end, Zhang Feng could only invite him to be a special guest during class to disassemble "Seven Miles of Fragrance" for students.
Xu Nuo readily agreed. Being a teacher will definitely be questioned, but as a guest, no one can find fault.
Who can understand music better than the creator?
At this time, the new song list is dominated by graduation ceremony songs.
The difference is that although he has always dominated the charts before, he was not the singer.
This time, he wrote the lyrics, composed the music and sang the songs.
It's so scary.
When "Young China" came out, many people in the entertainment industry secretly mocked it, thinking that it was taking shortcuts.
But when "Seven Miles of Fragrance" was released, these people were silent.
Whether it is composition, lyrics or arrangement, it is a masterpiece.
This song is like a loud slap in their faces.
Taking shortcuts? You have to have the ability to take shortcuts.
When "Seven Miles of Fragrance" came out, it stood directly at the peak of love songs. Who dares to say anything?
At this time, many people on the Internet have suggested that the songs of the graduation season can be released as an album.
As for the name, let's be more modest, it's called "God of Graduation Season".
If this album is used as the first album after debut, it can be called a god album.
Love, friendship and patriotism are all included in it, and the pattern is high to the sky.
Netizens strongly requested Xu Nuo to combine these songs into an album, but Xu Nuo's answer made everyone confused.
"Thank you for your suggestions, the new album is being prepared."
The netizens who commented were dumbfounded, "Fuck, new album?"
"No, we just asked you to tidy up those songs, not to release a new album?"
You know, the songs for the graduation season were just uploaded, and they were obviously recorded in the past two days. As a result, you said you want to release a new album?
"Are you so arrogant?"
Some netizens counted the recent new songs, one for the debut, another "Forget Love Water" in the movie, and even more exaggerated at the graduation ceremony, directly ten songs.
Now he wants to release a new album.
"You are having fun, crazy business, don't care about your life?"
Soon, the topic of #Nuoyan preparing a new album became a hot search.
The terrifying sense of oppression made the musicians in the music industry feel like they were suffocating.
Only half of July has passed, and the man has already taken out twelve songs! Almost one song a day.
Now he actually said he wants to release a new album!
Oh my god, everyone in the music industry is saying that they can't survive, they can't survive at all.
At this pace, does he have to release 30 songs a month?
It's not like no one in the entertainment industry has ever done this before. Some people have tried to hold back their big moves, saving them for a year, and then releasing them all at once. It's true, at least it's a topic of conversation.
As for the quality, it can only be said to be average, and there is also a feeling of fighting against itself in the promotion. Some songs are of good quality, which will naturally take away the traffic that other songs deserve, causing the pearls to be covered in dust.
Later, no one did this until Xu Nuo appeared.
They realized that grabbing traffic is not a big deal at all. In the final analysis, it is still the work that is not good.
The music industry is worried. They said they would release an album, but they didn’t say when. What if they bump into each other?
Now, the group chat to fight against Xu Nuo is getting bigger and bigger, and more than a hundred people have joined.
Composers, lyricists, and singers gathered together. The group is called "Avengers Alliance", and most of them are second- and third-tier singers.
"By the way, it seems that it doesn’t matter when he releases an album. When have you ever seen him stop?"
A word awakened the dreamer.
"It seems so. It doesn’t matter whether it bumps into each other or not."
Facts have proved that after being bullied for a long time, they have gradually become accustomed to this situation.
Xu Nuo doesn’t know their psychology, otherwise he might sympathize with them. It is indeed a bit miserable.
But in fact, his appearance has brought many positive changes to the music industry.
The most important point is that the public's expectations for music have been raised. In the past, everyone thought that the music industry was not good and had no interest in finding songs.
Who would be willing to look for gold in a garbage dump?
Xu Nuo's appearance was like a shot of adrenaline. He used a hundred high-quality songs to tell everyone, "We really have good music works."
He spent nearly a year to reverse everyone's stereotypes about the music industry bit by bit.
It also injected new vitality into the music industry. Many singers who were originally serious about making music but no one paid attention to them have regained their youth under this trend.
Now the music industry is divided into three groups. One group hates Xu Nuo because he steals their jobs.
One group regards him as an idol. Because of his appearance, more people pay attention to music itself, and they also get the soup.
Another group is neutral.
As soon as the news that Xu Nuo was going to release an album came out, Hong Liu called immediately.
"Xiao Xu, when are you going to release the new album?"
Xu Nuo was stunned for a moment, "I haven't thought about it yet."
"Do you have an idea for the new song?" Hong Liu asked in a different way.
"Got it."
"Hey, what else are you thinking about! The Voice of China finals will be on Sunday! How about this stage?" Hong Liu's voice was very excited, and his excitement was full of bewitching.
The Voice of China has reached its last episode, and the ratings have stabilized at more than four points. It is a national variety show, plus Xu Nuo is a topic maker, he dare not imagine how popular it is.
Without waiting for Xu Nuo, Hong Liu said to himself: "When the heat of the finals comes up, your planning fee can at least increase by several million."
"Director Hong, I'm not that kind of person."
"Five million for the appearance fee!"
"No, you misunderstood."
"I really can't increase it any more. Think about it, other mentors only get 20 million after recording more than ten episodes, and you get five million for one episode, which is good enough."
"Director Hong, you misunderstood me now, am I that kind of person?" Xu Nuo said righteously.
"Hey, of course I know you are not that kind of person."
"When will the money come?" Xu Nuo joked.
Hong Liu: "..."
The phone was hung up, and 5 minutes later, 5 million arrived.
Xu Nuo sighed that Hong Liu was such a good person, he was good at making big promises and giving them away.
As soon as the money arrived, "The Voice of China" posted a Weibo post, "This Sunday, July 21, the final of "The Voice of China" will be held at the Shanghai Stadium. We solemnly invite a mysterious guest to bring us a wonderful performance!"
The accompanying picture is a male silhouette with a big question mark on his head.
Hong Liu was very cunning. The five million was not wasted. At least he had to raise the heat and let everyone guess.
This routine of having a mysterious guest is not uncommon, but netizens like it very much.
For a while, the discussion on the Internet was heated.
Hong Liu has been arranging people to keep an eye on public opinion. He has to master the timing when playing with people, otherwise it is easy to cause resentment.
When the time is almost right, the official Weibo post was released again: "Announce the answer, welcome Nuoyan to join "The Voice of China"!"
The netizens were excited all of a sudden. The program team had also officially announced other stars invited before, but Xu Nuo was the most special one.
First, his name is still on the program's chief planner list. Second, he has just debuted for half a month and has already stirred up huge waves in the music circle. Third, there are new songs to listen to.
Netizens are all excited, "New songs?"
Now no matter which program the name Nuoyan appears in, everyone will reflexively think of new songs.
Others sing their famous songs, only he likes to be special, "No new songs, no Nuoyan".
But every new song can make people applaud.
Many netizens began to cue him.
Xu Nuo responded with a Weibo: "I am honored to be invited to participate in "The Voice of China". This Sunday, we will meet at the Magic City Stadium."
The popularity exploded directly, and he is now a walking hot search maker.
