Chapter 223: Men Should Be Self-reliant
"A full-on true-tone performance?"
“Doesn’t the Cantonese pronunciation of this song have a more powerful feel?”
"But there's more to it than just that, right? No matter how good it sounds, we still have to consider the audience. Mandarin is definitely the mainstream..."
"Only Teacher Cui can sing this kind of song with his true voice."
The passionate sounds of pipa and suona in the background music boosted the momentum of the whole song.
"It sounds like the shouts of battle-hardened soldiers in a military camp!"
"Apply the past to the present! Apply the West to China! The ancient music comes first, and the Western instruments are only auxiliary this time!"
The lyrics are not long and the melody is simple, but I never get tired of listening to it.
Everyone was as excited as if they had been injected with chicken blood.
【
Be a good man
Hot blood, hot heart, hot
Heat is brighter than the sun...
】
Soon, it came to the end.
With the background sounding like a Kung Fu chant, "Wow! Ha!"
Cui Jirong's voice went straight up to an octave.
“Wow!”
"Teacher Cui is going crazy!"
"...He's truly an evergreen. His singing style is something no one else can imitate."
"He really sings with soul and spirit! After so many years, with so many singers coming and going, I admire him the most!"
"Don't try to imitate Cui's singing style just because he's great. I dare say there are no more than three people in the entertainment industry who can sing this song, and he's the only one who can sing it with such a feeling!"
"Iron Man is the best! I'm afraid only he can write a song like this, and he wrote a song that only Choi Ji-young can sing!"
"This song is so passionate and masculine, it's a bit hot!"
"Hahahahaha, what a great name! A man should be self-reliant!"
"Can the Queen's "Legend" still hold up?"
"If you ask me, I really can't judge. In my mind, they are on par. This song is more impressive, but it's in Cantonese..."
The composing community has started gambling.
"Come on, guess who will win?"
"I'm betting on the Queen! 'Legend' is a love song legend! I think it has a wider audience!"
"'A Man Should Be Self-reliant', Cui Ge Wang is sincere and never deceives me!"
"Teacher Cui's song is a bit explosive..."
"But is Cantonese slightly weaker in terms of communication..."
"Why don't you suppress Hannah's "I"?"
"...Go play somewhere else."
"These two songs are clearly not on the same level as the other songs. Everyone else should just pray that Iron Man doesn't have any other songs!"
"These two songs are the best combination of all the gods' songs before!"
"You guys fight for third place!"
"When I saw this song, I felt like Volkswagen's 'Storm Rescue' was a bit too sinister!"
"Pfft! How dare you say that!"
"I'm not afraid. I told the group that I won't post on social media because I'm afraid Yan Yu's fans will cyberbully me."
"Uh uh uh, aren't all young handsome guys like this? Their songs are feminine and they are feminine themselves!"
"A man should be self-reliant. This is a song with such strong yang energy that not many people can sing it!"
.......
Soon, "A Man Should Be Self-reliant" climbed to second place and began to compete with the queen.
Cantonese songs were very popular in the 1980s and 1990s, but with the rise of domestic entertainment in recent years, although Cantonese songs have not declined, their market has obviously become smaller.
It has been many years since a Cantonese song appeared on the comprehensive monthly chart of Dongting, and it is still in the top two, and it is the War of the Titans!
Kids in both Guangzhou and Hong Kong were excited, not only for the song with its high-quality lyrics, music and singing, but also for cheering for Cantonese songs!
Sure enough, even though it was preceded by the hottest Queen Legend, "A Man Should Be Self-reliant" still held its ground and remained in first place for one day.
This year's Clash of the Titans made fans as happy as if it were Chinese New Year.
But more people began to wonder what kind of movie "Once Upon a Time in China" was.
"Look at that little poem, 'Helping the World with a Practitioner', 'Angry Eyes'. From my analysis, Wong Fei-hung is a martial artist who understands medicine!"
"Huang Feihong found Yuan Ye, the champion of the National Martial Arts Competition, so this movie will definitely have a lot of fighting scenes!"
"Action movie? Isn't that the same genre as 'Taken'?"
"Hehehe, so I'm waiting for Dazhong and Xingyao to open up a second battlefield!"
"You bastard, you are so bad!"
"This song embodies the principle of self-reliance and courage. The spirit of heroism soars into the sky and makes one's blood boil. This is probably a movie for men!"
"It shouldn't be the same genre as the fresh meat movie next door, right?"
"There's a strong smell of powder over there!"
"Stop talking! Yan Yu's little universes will arrive at the battlefield in three minutes!"
"Haha, I'm going to slip away first!"
This song has attracted widespread attention, and many people began to wonder what this low-key and mysterious movie is about besides releasing songs.
The audience's curiosity is aroused, and naturally the attention increases.
Although it is not on the same level as "Taken", the pre-sale of "Once Upon a Time in China" has finally increased.
It is currently ranked 6th among all 8 movies released in the same period, with pre-sales of 8 million, which was less than 2 million before the song was released.
The first place was "Storm Rescue" with 20 million, and the second place was "Wish" by Xinyu with 17.8 million.
The gap is still huge, but at least it’s not ignored anymore.
The public felt very uncomfortable when watching "A Man Should Be Self-reliant" and "Legend".
"The song was completely dominated by Xingyao!"
"Hey~ At what point did you start losing?"
"Was it when the play came out, or when folk music came into play? Or when Chinese style first appeared? Or was it from the very beginning..."
"Hey, don't be so hurt. It's not just us who lost, Xinyu lost too! It's just that they seem to have surrendered and lost half of the game, so they are content not to fight for first place."
"How wise! If we had done this earlier, we wouldn't have suffered such a huge setback!"
"Wrong, it's mainly because the online troll army and post deletion are too effective!"
"...Stop talking, Mr. Lin is here."
This was not the first time Lin Xin had heard these words.
He was also wondering, why did Xingyao suddenly turn the tables when the Big Three were all doing well?
There was no sign at all. Perhaps those seemingly coincidental things were not coincidences at all. They had already started planning for it.
For three years, popular songs have been unable to make a comeback, and this year's ratings are out.
Most of the public's ratings for popular singers have dropped because the data is inflated.
Such a vague reason is still giving face without explaining it in detail. If it is said that the data is falsified, then it is a moral issue, which is more serious.
Judging from the overall situation of singers this year, Dazhong has dropped to 17th place, which is the first time he has fallen out of the top five.
This dumb man has a problem like a fishbone stuck in his throat, unable to swallow or speak...
"Although the singer business is not satisfactory, our film and television business is still very strong."
Lin Shao only reported good news and not bad news, just to make the old man happy first.
Having said this, Lin Xin's expression became better.
"We must seize these two advantages. I don't want the previous situation to happen again!"
"Especially actors and directors, they know their backgrounds very well. One accident is enough for them to fall into the gutter!"
