Debuting After Eight Years of Time Travel: 274. The first person in the history of European and American pop music! (Please subscribe!)

lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter that took eight years to debut!

European and American pop music has become extremely homogenized in the past ten years!

Personalization is being lost.

Most pop songs are very similar, and many of the same elements and qualities can be found in them.

This is because the pop music world is transforming into an industrialized, professional assembly line production model just like Hollywood movies.

Someone has done statistics!

In the past ten years, more than 90% of the top ten songs on the North American Billboard are the work of studio teams, and most of the remaining 10% are two or three people. Of the above collaborative works, only a very small part is done individually, and among these few personal works, almost all are Christine's works.

In other words, today’s European and American pop songs are basically assembly line industrialized products!

These pop music factories are world-renowned top professional production teams, composed of many professional musicians.

They will create customized creations based on the characteristics of a certain big-name star. During the creation process, every melody, every lyric, every chorus, and even the words that the singer shouts in the song have nothing to do with the lyrics, The words "yeah" and "baby" are all completed by a dedicated person. Each paragraph needs to be reviewed by the singer and its producer before it meets the requirements before it can be passed. Then it is combined by top producers to complete a pop song!

Such a song has almost most of the characteristics of popular songs that most ordinary people like.

The catchy melody, catchy vocabulary, simple and direct meaning of the lyrics, and the electronic soundtrack that fits the fast-paced era, combined with the singing characteristics of professional singers, can basically become a hit.

However, such songs can only be popular for a while, but not lasting. Over time, they will be forgotten by everyone, and will be replaced by other songs with similar popular elements and characteristics, or even because they are too similar to each other. After a while, everyone can’t tell which song they have listened to.

So!

Ten years

Many European and American music fans have found that it seems that they have not heard any songs worth remembering in the past ten years. The only songs worth remembering seem to be only some of Christine's works and a handful of songs by a few singers. A song or two.

They couldn't remember the other songs at all.

Even when some songs became popular, they listened to them on loop all day long.

However, after ten days and a half, they forgot.

This is the direct reason why Christine is called the first sister in the European and American music circles.

Because no other singer is worthy of comparison with her, and she is the only one who insists on composing songs by herself. Each album has a distinct personal style, and there are one or two songs in each album that are enough for many fans to listen to. You won’t get tired of it every year, and you will still be able to recall it in your memory in a few years, and you won’t forget it. Most of these songs will become timeless classics.

Of course, this is also a phenomenon happening in the Chinese pop music scene.

However, before the Chinese pop music scene was successful, it had already begun to copy the European and American models, so it was not as good as the European and American pop music scene. In the past ten years, there have been few popular works. On the contrary, those online independent singers occasionally There will be one or two popular songs, but those serious singers have not released any popular works.

Until Liu Shengnan and Wang Qian appeared.

This is also the reason why Wang Qian became popular in China. The songs are nice, have a unique style, and even have profound humanistic thinking. In this era, it is an absolutely rare good work, and other The voluptuous **** is instantly distinguished.

Now

The song "itsmylife" that Wang Qian sang at the opening performance of The Voice was just like the song "I'm Not Confronted" that he sang on the stage of The Voice of China. The song was like thunder and shocked the entire European and American pop music world. Many fans were surprised.

Especially many young people in their teens and twenties are the most amazing!

They were used to listening to various industrialized assembly-line songs in the past ten years, and suddenly they heard Wang Qian’s more retro hard rock songs with a unique style, which made them extremely surprised and amazed - it turns out that there is also Such a good song?

So!

Wang Qian’s itsmylife became an overnight sensation in Europe and the United States.

The download data has shocked the entire European and American pop music scene, and the data and rankings have even made many people feel horrified!

Is this the first time a new player has officially released his work in Europe and the United States?

No one can believe it!

Without a doubt.

Wang Qian is still firmly in the first position among the ten contestants!

itsmylife, the download data reached 12380660.

In one night, 12.38 million downloaded data.

Wang Qian himself saw it and felt relatively calm, because he has long been accustomed to data even more exaggerated than this on China's own Qianqianjingting platform, and has experienced more than 30 million downloads in one night!

So, the song "itsmylife" only received more than 12 million downloads on the North American music platform in one night. Wang Qian was in a very calm mood!

But!

People such as Adam, Jonathan, Sophie, Elizabeth, Miyuki Nakamori and others were shocked when they saw it.

Other professional musicians and singers in the entire North American pop music scene were very shocked when they saw it and said they couldn't accept it!

Adam directly shouted in a low voice: "God, this is not true, is it?"

Adam looked at it carefully with his eyes widened, and found that he had read it correctly. He did not look at one more number. It was indeed more than 12 million downloads, firmly ranking first!

But

Adam still didn’t believe it.

He clearly remembers that when Christian created more than 10 million downloads in a single day, it shocked the entire European and American pop music world.

Of course, he felt that Kristen was too low-key when she released her songs and did not invest much in publicity. Therefore, there was not enough early publicity, so the data explosion in a short period of time was not high enough.

However, Wang Qian downloaded more than 12 million data this night. What the hell?

Is this Chinese player going to North America for the first time to officially release a song? Is he going to set a record for the highest paid download in North America in a single day?

Who can accept this?

Anyway, Adam said he couldn't accept it.

But what if you can’t accept it?

Adam looked at it uncomfortably for a few seconds, then took a deep breath to calm himself down, and then continued to look at the second one.

As expected.

It is still a work by Wang Qian. That piano piece, Rhapsody in the Magic City, has accumulated more than 6 million downloads in one night. After all, it is just a piano piece. It seems that the successor is starting to lose its power!

However, Adam changed his mind——

Over six million downloads in one night, which is far more than myself, and I still lack the strength to p

With a depressed mood, Adam looked at the third place. It was still Sophie's work. It accumulated more than 5 million downloads in one night, and it was only less than 500,000 away from the second place Rhapsody. , it seems that there is a possibility of catching up at any time, but after one night, I just can't surpass it!

Fourth

It’s still Adam.

For some reason, Adam was inexplicably relieved.

It seems that he is relieved to be in fourth place?

Adam felt heartbroken, uncomfortable, and wanted to cry

He is the North American champion. He was touted by many people and has already booked the championship position in the Global Voice Finals.

Now you are relieved to have secured fourth place?

Shame!

Adam didn't want to continue reading, so he closed the list directly. Feeling extremely depressed, he picked up the phone and called Winston directly.

The call was answered quickly.

The first thing Winston said when he answered the phone was: "Have you seen the list?"

Adam said in a low voice: "Well, I just finished watching it. I can't believe it. How could Wang Qian do it? You know, he got 12 million downloads of data in one night. Today he may More than 17 million downloads in a single day created by Christine."

"Why?"

Adam asked the biggest question in his mind!

Why?

Why?

How can a new Chinese artist do this when he comes to North America to officially release a song for the first time?

Is he God?

Winston was in his apartment at the moment, holding the phone and staring at the computer screen, his brows furrowed together, looking at several lists and data on the computer screen, thinking carefully about something. Listening to Adam's soul question, he said softly: "Adam, I am also thinking about this question. I have already thought about a little bit of clues, which may be able to answer your question."

Adam did not feel happy at all, and his voice was still low as he said: "What answer did you come up with?"

Winston’s voice was still soft as he said: “Unique style, inspiring with heart! There are two other points. One is that Kristen’s last album has been released for more than a year! The second is that in the past few years , except for Christine’s works, there are no good works that are too thoughtful and stunning! ”

"So, as soon as Wang Qian's piece came out, it amazed the entire European and American music scene. Everyone liked it very much, so they naturally downloaded it."

"According to statistics, more than one billion people around the world watched his performance last night, so it is not impossible to have tens of millions of downloads in one night! You know, the last time Kristen released a song , but there was no such large-scale publicity. She didn't even promote it at the time, she just announced it on her Weibo. The company only started promoting it a week in advance, and it still set a record of more than 10 million downloads in a single day.

"The global publicity resources from The Voice that Wang Qian has enjoyed this time are definitely the highest ever in the world's pop music world."

Winston's voice paused, but Adam on the other side of the phone did not speak and remained silent.

Because, Winston said, Wang Qian has enjoyed the highest level of publicity resources in the history of the world's pop music scene. But Adam knew clearly that not only Wang Qian enjoyed this resource, he and other players also enjoyed it. Even as the number one player, he enjoyed resources that were two levels higher than Wang Qian!

So, in fact, Adam was the singer who enjoyed the best publicity resources in the history of pop music!

But

His grades are far worse than Wang Qian.

This shows that the gap between him and Wang Qian is even greater!

The truth is really heartbreaking

Adam didn’t want to speak for a while.

Winston continued: "Adam, today's fans' desire for good works is beyond our imagination. This can be reflected in Wang Qian's song. Everyone is very eager for such a personal style, and also Excellent work. Everyone seems to be tired of the studio’s highly homogeneous pop works.”

“In the past year or so, many new works created by big-name singers and created by teams have achieved relatively average results! This has led to the sluggish market performance of European and American pop music as a whole.”

“I used to think that there have been more natural and man-made disasters in the past year or so, and people are not in the mood to listen to music, so the market response is not good. Now it seems that it may not be because of external factors, or because our works are not good enough , it’s our own reasons.”

Adam's voice gradually calmed down and he asked: "So, Winston, what should we do?"

Winston sighed and said: "I don't know what to do now! The market direction seems to have been tested by Wang Qian. However, it is difficult for us to adjust our style in a short period of time. To cope with market changes! Because time is too short.”

“We have to create pop songs for you in such a short period of time that match your unique style and are different from many previous team-based works. It is very difficult. If one is not good, the resulting work may not be as good as It would be bad if the previous works were popular."

Adam was silent for a few seconds, and then said: "Winston, what if I create my own music? I use my own ideas to create music, so isn't this music that belongs to my own unique style?"

Winston smiled bitterly and said: "Adam, you have only participated in the creation before and provided some opinions. You have not fully participated in the creation, let alone completely composed a song. Are you sure you Is it really possible? ”

The previously announced claim that Adam has great creative talent and is deeply involved in music creation and adaptation is actually the team's external promotion, in order to give Ye Dang Li a talented persona.

Actually, Adam had very little involvement in the creation.

Adam fell silent again, took a few deep breaths to calm himself down, and said in a difficult tone: "So, can I deeply participate in the team's creation? I want to put forward my opinions, and I want the work to truly have my own Style! ”

Winston thought for a while and agreed: "Of course you can!"

Although, he is the world's top producer with a weird temper.

But after all, he uses money to do things.

Adam is his client after all!

If he is not confident enough in himself and Adam has his own requirements, then he can only agree!

Looking at the terrifying download data of Wang Qian’s song on the computer screen, Winston did not have any confidence to compete with the featureless assembly line work created by his team.

Perhaps, the streamlined works created by him and his team are in line with the advantages and characteristics of popular songs, and can also be successful and achieve good results. They can even be used as the title song of some first-line singers' albums and appear on the Billboard. Ten is basically no problem. If you are lucky, you can even enter the top three or even reach the top!

But

That's all.

The works of him and his team will never be able to shock or even amaze the world and break records in the European and American music circles like this piece by Christine and Wang Qian!

Even now, he is worried about the prospects of himself and his team, as well as other similar pop music production teams!

Because if Wang Qian can continue to release good songs like this and still achieve great success in the European and American music circles, and if Kristen will release another album this year, then the two of them may change Europe and the United States in one fell swoop. The aesthetics and trend of the pop music market!

The market may simply no longer accept and like those assembly-line works with serious homogeneity, but will only like the good works of Christine and Wang Qian with their own in-depth thinking and personal style!

By then

Independent singers and songwriters with unique styles may become popular.

Team-based creative studios like theirs, which have no characteristics, may gradually be eliminated!

Popular music may gradually return to the style of the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s, an era when music with strong personal styles was prevalent.

At that time, even if it was the first time to listen to every song, you would know whose composition it was just by listening to the intro and two lyrics. Even if it was not sung by the original creator, you could still determine from the musical style that it was the song. Whose works.

This is fundamentally different from today's assembly-line pop music. Most popular pop songs nowadays are sung by a single person, and there is no difference because the song itself does not have a unique style and can suit the singing style of most singers.

This may also prove that popularity itself is a circle and will eventually return to the starting point!

This is not only applicable in the field of clothing design, but also in the field of pop music?

So

Winston felt a sense of existential crisis.

He chose to compromise.

Try to make new changes and incorporate some unique personal style into the music. Maybe you can succeed?

Adam continued: "Shall we start now? Winston, I can't wait."

He couldn't wait to make changes, couldn't wait to improve himself, otherwise he would collapse under the huge pressure of Wang Qian's terrifying statistics.

While thinking about how to cooperate with Adam, Winston said: "Of course, you can come to the recording studio after breakfast."

Adam: "Okay, I'll have breakfast right away and be there right away! Actually, I have a lot of ideas that I want to incorporate into my music"

Winston looked at another page and said softly: "By the way, Adam, have you seen the Billboard chart?"

Adam was stunned!

Billboard charts?

What does it mean

Adam thought for a moment, then suddenly clicked, his face changed slightly, and he quickly operated the page with his fingers to enter the bulletin board list.

It’s the pop song sales chart!

The list of all songs currently on sale in the European and American music circles, whether new or old, as long as the sales data can enter the top 200, will be ranked on the list!

However, almost everyone focuses on the top ten. In fact, being in the top two hundred is a good achievement.

This time, while The Voice officially cooperated with Billboard, it did not prevent the contestants' works from hitting Billboard's overall list based on their own performance.

Adam was only paying attention to the rankings and data of the players just now, and didn't think of this one at once!

Now after being reminded by Winston, I immediately opened the Billboard chart with trembling fingers!

See the title of the number one song and the name of the artist.

Adam felt his head go blank.

One night!

Just one night!

No. 1 on the airborne bulletin board list

How did this guy do it?

Why can he do it?

Why should he?

A question from the depths of his soul appeared in Adam's heart again.

At the same time, Winston's voice rang in his ears: "Did you know? Adam, according to statistics, in the past ten years, no more than two works have topped the list on the first day of release. Ten songs, including three by Kristen. Only seventeen of the others have achieved this. However, only three of Kristen's songs have remained stable after being released at the top of the list! There are tens of thousands of popular songs, and hundreds of songs have topped the Billboard charts.”

“He is the first to have his first song released in North America go directly to the top of the charts! In the history of European and American pop music, there has never been any singer who can release his first song and go directly to the top of the charts. Topping the charts on the first day, no one, not even Kristen, could do it, and so many talented singers had not done it twenty or thirty years ago."

"Now, he's done it."

In Winston's view, the two singles Wang Qian released before in China were officially distributed by Good Voice in North America. They were not released publicly by him himself, so they are not considered his publicly released works. This song "itsmylife" is Wang Qian's first work published publicly in North America!

The first piece he released to the public went directly to the top of the Billboard charts. Wang Qian was truly the first in the history of European and American pop music!

In the past few decades, no matter how talented or awesome the kings and queens were, they have never achieved this when they debuted. Some people have achieved the number one song on the first song, but it was not the first day. It took a lot of talent to do it.

Adam's head was still buzzing, and his eyes were slightly glazed over as he looked at the name at the top of the list on the computer screen.

Why can he do it?

Adam still doesn't understand.

Sophie studied piano before and was a piano genius, so when she saw this data, although she also thought Wang Qian was very powerful, she was not as shocked as Adam.

Because she is not focused on the pop music scene.

However, she also probably knew that Wang Qian might be remembered in history by the European and American pop music circles just because of this song.

Think about it!

Sophie posted a message on her Facebook account: "Perhaps, we are participating in history!"

A simple sentence.

She and Wang Qian performed and competed on the same stage, which gave her a sense of honor and weight of participating in history, and she had a more direct and profound understanding of Wang Qian's musical talent.

After all, the market is the ultimate test of everything.

Now, the market has given the answer.

The answer proves that Wang Qian's musical talent is really indescribably powerful.

Sophie’s news was quickly forwarded and liked by fans in Europe and the United States.

Although no one knew what she meant when she said this, many fans still liked and retweeted it. After all, it was posted by the goddess, so just follow it.

Sophie looked at her data again and found that there was not even half of the song "itsmylife" by Wang Qian. She was thinking carefully about the music she had chosen.

She is not a stickler for the past. She tried to find some popular characteristics in Wang Qian's works, and then incorporated them into her own songs!

It’s not about changing your style, but about incorporating things that more people like.

Now, as a pop musician, adapting to the market and the public are her only success criteria!

So, that's what she did.

Wang Qian has now become a benchmark in the pop music market in her eyes.

Early in the morning.

The entire North American pop music market was shaken like a magnitude 10 earthquake, and many musicians even stayed up all night!

In many private discussion groups among musicians, everyone is frantically discussing Wang Qian, the data of Wang Qian's two works, and the possibility of breaking Christine's previous single-day download record!

The most important thing is

The historical significance of Wang Qian’s song landing at the top of the Billboard chart on the first day!

Everything is no small matter for their pop music world.

Wang Qian was the focus of their discussion.

Their discussions were private.

However, those music critics, media people, and self-media people have publicly made crazy speeches and discussions.

Same!

Many people still said they could not accept it.

A certain self-media person said: "I don't believe this is true. This Chinese player must have brushed up his data. This is the Chinese people's favorite practice. In many of their Chinese talent shows, players will spend money. To refresh the data, Wang Qian must have paid someone to refresh the sales data for him. Tomorrow, his sales data will definitely plummet!"

And this self-deceptive statement still has considerable support in North America.

Many people still can't stand a Chinese player creating miraculous results on their territory. If it really happens, it must be fake and cheating, not real.

There are also some music critics who criticized Wang Qian's two works as useless. They even found some unknown old works in Europe and the United States and pulled out some fragments to compare them with Wang Qian's two works. Comparison is used to prove that Wang Qian's work is plagiarized, but anyone with a little sense will think it is nonsense after reading this so-called analysis.

In addition to these malicious remarks, there are many others who expressed support!

After all, most people have sharp eyes and clear ears!

Whether the song is good or not, and whether the live performance is good or not, everyone will know clearly after listening to it!

A music critic analyzed: "Wang Qian's "itsmylife!" represents an extremely unique personal style. Coupled with the powerful aura of the live performance, Wang Qian's world-class performance attracted tens of thousands of people around the world. With more than 100 million viewers watching, it is understandable that such results can be achieved. If Christine’s work had such a strong publicity, the single-day download record set at that time would definitely not be so low. ”

“We should not blindly denigrate Wang Qianhe’s works. We should see that so many people around the world like his works. We should learn from the advantages of his works to create more good works and improve ourselves. ! ”

This music critic’s rational analysis has won the support of the most people, with more than one million likes and reposts on Facebook, making it a hot topic.

The official voice of the World Championship also came out and said: "The data of all contestants are absolutely true. We have dedicated personnel to cooperate with the platform to detect the data of ten contestants in real time. If anyone suspects that any contestant has falsified the data, please also Please come up with concrete evidence. If the evidence is true and is confirmed to be true after passing our inspection, then we will directly disqualify the player from participating in the World Championship, and at the same time, we will also punish the program production team of the player's region."

"If there is no evidence to prove it, please don't talk nonsense, otherwise we will hold the rumor makers legally responsible!"

Good Voice officials must stand up to protect Wang Qian’s reputation.

Because, Wang Qian’s current attention is too high, and the data of his works are really good.

Even if some representatives from North America and Europe don’t want to, they can’t stop it.

In a sense, Wang Qian now represents most of the interests of the program team!

If Wang Qian's reputation is damaged, it also means that the reputation of the program team is damaged, and the subsequent losses will be even greater!

So, they must stand up as soon as possible and defend Wang Qian's reputation with righteous words and tough words!

If Wang Qian is just the bottom player.

So, if someone from the media publicly slanders Wang Qian now, the program team may not stand up and speak out, but remain silent despite being blocked by most European and American competition regions!

Now, in order to protect everyone's interests, no one can stop the program team from standing up to speak for Wang Qian!

So!

Not long after the official statement from Good Voice was released, the hundreds of millions of North American commentators and self-media who spread rumors to slander Wang Qian quickly deleted their previous statements and then remained silent, as if nothing happened.

Only some netizens are still dominated by their own discriminatory emotions and are still publishing some nonsense and rumors. However, their voices cannot become mainstream and cannot influence more public opinions, so no one pays attention to them.

Kristen received a call from her good friend, Garbo early in the morning.

Garbo is a little-known actor. Because he has never accepted unspoken rules and is unwilling to pay, he is not famous. He only plays some small roles in the TV circle and barely makes ends meet.

In order to make a living, Garbo often played small roles while working part-time in restaurants!

I met Christine by chance. Christine liked and appreciated Garbo's cheering and acting skills, so they became friends with each other!

This time, Kristen came to Los Angeles.

Of course Jiabao wants to entertain us, we contacted him last night.

But!

The call early in the morning was not just about entertainment!

Christine answered the phone: "Garbo, what's wrong?"

Garbo said quickly: "Chris, you know, the song you recommended to me last night was really great. It is definitely the best rock song I have heard in the past ten years."

Christine: "So, Garbo, didn't you watch TV last night? Didn't you know about the performance of The Voice last night?"

Garbo smiled and said: "Chris, I'm not a big star, I'm not qualified to go to the scene. In order to pay the rent, I have to insist on working. Last night I worked overtime in a Chinese restaurant. This is so that I can be here tonight." The price of having a vacation is because I want to accompany you and treat you to dinner!”

Christine: "Well, I'm sorry, Garbo, I don't know what keeps you busy."

Garbo: "It's okay!"

Christine: "If you look at the official rankings of The Voice and the Billboard rankings, you will know what's going on! He is creating miracles."

Garbo said casually: "Okay, I will pay attention!"

Kristen moved her fingers, opened Facebook, and suddenly saw a message just released by the Curtis Institute of Music. She frowned and said to the phone: "Garbo, I'm sorry! I may I don’t have time to eat with you.”

Garbo: "God, Chris, are you playing with me?"

Christine: "I'm sorry, I'm so sorry! How about I treat you to a treat? I'll take you to Philadelphia and I'll cover all your food and lodging. How about that?"

Garbo immediately refused: "I don't want to! You invited me last time, and it's my turn to treat you this time. Since you have something important, go ahead and look for another chance next time you come to Los Angeles!"

Christine: "I'm so sorry, Garbo! There is an open class at the Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia that I don't want to miss. I have to get there as soon as possible!"

Garbo smiled generously and said: "Okay, you go. In addition to acting, I also like music, but unfortunately I don't have time. Goodbye, Chris!"

Kristen still said apologetically: "Okay, Garbo, I'm very sorry, goodbye! When I return to Los Angeles, I will call you as soon as possible!"

Garbo smiled and said: "That's for sure, Chris, goodbye!"

Hang up the phone!

Kristen stared blankly at the news about the Curtis Institute of Music on Facebook.

And the other side.

Garbo also quickly searched for the song itsmylife on his mobile phone!

At the same time

The official account of the Curtis Institute of Music announced a piece of news on several major North American social platforms such as Facebook and Twitter, causing the European and American pop music scene, which was already in shock, to shake up again!

"Our school has invited Mr. Wang Qian from China to come to our school tomorrow for music exchanges"
