Chapter 360 359. The trembling European and American music scene! The most anticipated music collision in the new century. (Subscribe)
Los Angeles.
In a hotel!
Chen Xiaowen and Ru Ke live together.
Both of them got up early.
In other words, Ru Ke got up earlier. After watching Wang Qian's performance, she has been in an excited state.
At first, Ru Ke played Wang Qian's songs, walked back and forth in the living room, swaying her body gently. She was completely immersed in the songs. The more she walked, the more naturally her body swayed. She hummed with her eyes closed, enjoying it immensely.
Chen Xiaowen was woken up and came out in her pajamas. She looked at Ru Ke and said with a smile, "You got up so early just to listen to music and dance? Ru Ke, how did you live when you were in the National Song and Dance Troupe?"
Ru Ke didn't open her eyes, still keeping them closed, and said with a smile on her face, "What do you think? It's boring to be in the dance troupe, just messing around."
Chen Xiaowen asked: "What about now?"
Ru Ke smiled and said, "Now, I just want to live the life I want. I don't care about anything else."
Ru Ke turned in a circle on the spot, stretching her graceful limbs freely. This was the folk dance she learned from her predecessors in the National Song and Dance Troupe. She had almost reached a professional level. Her hands and feet stretched gracefully, with a unique beauty in the rhythm of rock and roll.
After hearing Ru Ke's words, Chen Xiaowen also became eager to make a move. She thought that her sister Chen Xiaohan had already launched the acquisition of Jinghua Entertainment. Without her contract, Jinghua Entertainment would be in a passive position. In addition, the price offered by Chen Xiaohan was not low, so there might be a result soon.
By then, she didn't want to be an artist under her sister!
She also wants to live the life she wants...
Make the music you want to make and be with the people you like...
Chen Xiaowen keeps everything in her heart. She is different from Ru Ke, who has liberated her nature, and also different from Liu Shengnan, who is free and easy by nature. She is a traditional Chinese woman, a little conservative and a little introverted, but she also has the courage and independence of a new-age woman, eager to pursue the life she wants. She is a contradictory person.
Chen Xiaowen asked: "Have you signed a contract with Wang Qian's company?"
Ru Ke nodded: "Well, I signed the contract with my band. I heard that Shengnan also signed the contract. How about you come over too? With Professor Wang, you can sit freely and listen to music."
Chen Xiaowen smiled and said, "Well, I have this plan."
Ru Ke didn't think too much about it, and just said: "That's great, you, Shengnan, me, and Professor Wang are all people who really understand music. It would be absolutely refreshing if we could talk about music together!"
As he spoke, Ru Ke swayed his body to the rhythm, smiled wantonly, and then said, "You don't understand rock music, so you don't know how great Professor Wang's three songs on the stage last night were. His bass playing in the first song was world-class. Now that rock bands are dying out, there may not be any bassists in bands around the world who can compare with him. Only the top seniors of the older generation can compare with him."
"These three songs represent the pinnacle of three rock styles. If I can produce a work of this level in my lifetime, it will be considered a masterpiece."
As a rock musician, Ru Ke knows best the quality of Wang Qian's three performances last night. She thinks it is no exaggeration to say that they were the highest-level rock performances in the past two or three decades.
This brought her a lot of rock inspiration.
So, she was very excited all night, slept very late, got up very early in the morning, and had a lot of ideas about rock in her head.
However, she did not write anything down or perform it to record it.
She is still accumulating ideas and inspiration.
She also wanted to accumulate more inspiration, waiting for the day when she could no longer suppress it and had to explode.
Then, she might have a chance to create a truly masterpiece.
Chen Xiaowen nodded, expressing her understanding. Although her sense for rock music was average, she knew how great Wang Qian's performance was. Just look at the madness at the scene and the record-breaking sales.
Ru Ke continued, "You see, the people in the European and American music scene are definitely not going to be able to afford it. Wang Qian's sales are so explosive, they will definitely not sit idly by and will definitely make trouble later."
Chen Xiaowen looked at her phone and smiled, "They are already causing trouble."
Ru Ke smiled as if it was true: "See, I told you so!"
Ru Ke stopped dancing, picked up her phone to check the news in North America, and found that they had indeed started to set the pace.
"We strongly urge everyone not to download Wang Qian's songs. His songs are not worth listening to."
"We need to listen to our own songs. We should not stop the works of Chinese people. We cannot create incredible sales records for them. Otherwise, our local singers will always live under their shadows."
"Where's our singer? Aren't they going to release a song to attack Wang Qian together?"
"Robert, Christine, please release your songs quickly. Even if your songs are terrible, I will download them just to surpass that Chinese guy..."
"Oh my god, Kristen is going to release a song?"
"Support Kristen!"
"I've waited for a long time, and finally got Christine's new song. Hurry up, don't let that Chinese guy be so arrogant."
"Christine, use your work to tell Wang Qian that this is your territory..."
On North American social media, internet celebrities and media outlets began to lead the trend!
Chen Xiaowen whispered, "Is Christine going to release a song? Is it specifically to attack Wang Qian? But, I've met her a few times, and I don't think she's such a flamboyant person."
Ru Ke also read the news and found Christine's official account. She found that there was no news on it and whispered, "Maybe it's not her intention. Christine is not such a high-profile person, and she has a good relationship with Wang Qian. But now that public opinion has fermented to this extent, there must be someone behind it. By then, she may not be able to decide."
"In the past few years, Kristen's performance was very good. No one dared to object to her being the top singer in the European and American music scene. Wang Qian's performance is so impressive now. They feel that only Kristen can pose a threat to Wang Qian. Other singers dare not come out. You have seen that the European and American music scene has been so quiet in the past half month. This time of year was the most active time for them in previous years, with many good songs. Now, they are holding back and not releasing any works because they don't want to compete head-on with Wang Qian and the Voice of China World Championship."
Chen Xiaowen: "Then do you think Kristen can threaten Wang Qian?"
Ru Ke thought about it, shook her head and said, "It's uncertain. Wang Qian is now a big player in the European and American markets, just like he was in China, with the official promotion support from The Voice. As long as he doesn't do anything stupid and can keep doing this, basically no one can stop him, not even Kristen."
"Moreover, Wang Qian's musical talent is basically unlimited! But Kristen's musical talent can still be limited."
Chen Xiaowen thought about it and agreed with Ru Ke's words. She said softly, "If Kristen loses, she will also be hit, right?"
Ru Ke smiled and said, "That's not necessarily true! When two strong men fight, there won't necessarily be a loser. Both men may be winners! On the contrary, the people who are watching may be losers... Didn't you see the herbal tea dispute a few years ago? The eldest and the second oldest fought to the death, but in the end the third oldest died, and the eldest and the second oldest divided up the third oldest's assets..."
Chen Xiaowen thought of this joke on the Internet and burst into laughter, but she also knew that this was the fact.
Ru Ke said immediately: "Wait a minute, after dinner, let's go meet Wang Qian."
Chen Xiaowen suddenly became excited: "Well, okay..."
Buzz buzz buzz...
Chen Xiaowen's phone rang. It was her sister Chen Xiaohan calling.
Chen Xiaowen looked at it and didn't answer it.
…
Now, the most popular person in the European and American music scene is no longer Wang Qian alone, but two people.
One more Christine!
The news that Kristen was going to release a new song spread throughout the world in just half an hour, not only sweeping the entire European and American music scene, but also spreading throughout the Chinese region.
The reputation and fans that Kristen had accumulated over the years exploded at this moment.
This is also the first time that she has attracted such a huge amount of attention before releasing a song.
European and American countries compare Christine and Wang Qian.
before……
Kristen is almost the only one who dominates the pop music scene. No one can compare to her. Every time she releases an album, it becomes a champion. She has defeated many veteran superstars.
Therefore, there is no other singer who can be compared with her.
And now, there is.
That is Wang Qian from China.
Wang Qian conquered the European and American music scene and numerous fans and audiences with his tangible achievements and musical talent that is visible to the naked eye but has no limit.
People really can't find any black spots on him, which makes many media and internet celebrities who don't like Wang Qian feel very helpless. They can't just force themselves to blacken him or discriminate against him, as this would be too much in front of the whole world.
They also cannot ignore Wang Qian's popularity and traffic, so they can only report Wang Qian's achievements and incredible musical talent in a bland manner, taking advantage of Wang Qian's traffic while lurking and waiting for opportunities.
Almost all North American media, as well as most internet celebrities who make a living from traffic, are very eager for their local singers to stand up and attack Wang Qian, so that Wang Qian will not be too dazzling.
Adam was their hope before, but Adam's performance was obviously not enough to handle such a big responsibility.
Then, although Elizabeth and Sophie showed strong strength, they were not comparable to Wang Qian, and they were both a little immature...
So!
Kristen seems to be the only suitable candidate. She is talented, successful and has a brilliant past.
So, when the news came out that Kristen was going to release a song, the media and internet celebrities who had been lurking all stood up and started promoting Kristen frantically, all hoping that Kristen could really beat Wang Qian in sales.
Many veteran singers in the European and American music scene felt a little regretful after seeing this scene.
If they had known that they could attract such a huge amount of traffic, they would have released the song. Even if they failed, they could still attract a wave of popularity and fans.
Unfortunately, even if they come out now, they can no longer attract the attention of the public like Christine did as a savior.
A world-class media reported: "The collision of the strongest musical talents, China's Wang Qian and North America's Christine! Rock and country music, who will dominate the music of this era? We will wait and see, this will be the most exciting musical collision in the new century."
One of the largest entertainment media in North America issued several news reports in succession: "It is said that Kristen's latest work is her innovative work and will definitely bring surprises to everyone. We all owe Kristen a download..."
…
At the same time, the official members of The Voice of China World Contest quickly followed suit and started hyping the event in cooperation with these media outlets.
This kind of hype with rivals is actually liked by both parties. Secretly, the two sides are not enemies but collaborators. What they harvest are other people's emotions and the enthusiasm of Internet leeks, thereby bringing huge traffic and profits to themselves!
The Voice of China took the opportunity to promote Wang Qian, as well as several other contestants, such as Adam, Elizabeth, Sophie, Miyuki Nakamori, etc., and also hyped up the next performance, and also brought along Kristen! "Next week's performance will be a gathering of the best. At the same time, Kristen will also compete remotely! Who will be the final winner, Wang Qian, Adam, Elizabeth, Sophie, or Kristen?"
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
…
“Word is that Adam’s next show will have amazing new music!”
“Sophie entered the studio early in the morning and will bring a whole new musical experience to the next performance.”
"Elizabeth's soul music is our favorite. She is a person who makes music with her heart..."
"You have all overlooked an important player, Miyuki Nakamori from the island country. Her talent and strength cannot be ignored..."
…
The Voice of China officials are also frantically promoting the next performance.
…
Christine was immersed in her own musical world in her apartment, and had initially integrated her recently accumulated musical inspiration into a piece of work.
However, she was interrupted by a phone call.
It was Garbo who called! Christine answered: "Garbo? You interrupted my thoughts."
Garbo was surprised: "Chris, are you really writing a new song? I'm so sorry, I saw that the media outside are reporting on your new song, so I want to ask."
Christine asked, "Does the media outside know about this?"
Jia Bao: "Yes, it seems that it was your fan group that first announced that you would release a new song to compete with Wang Qian's new song! Then, the media reported it crazily. Everyone has wanted to hear your new song for a long time. I also want to hear your new song, so I called you to ask. I hope I didn't disturb your creation."
Christine was silent for a moment, and quickly realized that her agency and cooperating record company must be behind this, promoting her new song and new album.
Kristen: “I’m definitely writing new songs and will try to release one maybe next week.”
Garbo: "That's great. Sorry to bother you. I'll hang up now. I won't contact you in the near future. By the way, are you going to the Voice show this weekend?"
Christine: "I will go to the show. Wang Qian, Sophie, Elizabeth, and Adam will all be performing. I won't miss it."
Jiabao: "Ok, I'll contact you this weekend."
Kristen: “Okay!”
Hang up the phone.
Christine wanted to call her agent to ask about the situation.
However, she knew it was useless to ask as this was the normal operation of the company.
However, she really didn't like the feeling of being controlled by others without her knowing it.
Although she has always been very Buddhist, she also likes freedom and likes to control her own life.
Before, the company would take her feelings into consideration and would not use her for any kind of hype.
And now, this tacit understanding has obviously been violated.
"Maybe, after the contract ends, I can try another company."
Christine whispered to herself.
Then, she sent a message to her agent: "Book me a recording studio in three days!"
Then, without waiting for the other party to answer, she turned off her phone and immersed herself in the creative mode.
now that……
Everyone has such expectations of her.
Christine also wanted to try whether she could cause trouble to Wang Qian.
Although……
She could only admire Wang Qian's musical talent and strength.
However, being able to fight such an opponent head-on is challenging enough.
Under tremendous pressure, Christine came up with more ideas.
Country music!
It's time for change.
Wang Qian has made innovations in rock music.
Well, Kristen also wants to try to incorporate more things in the field of country music.
“See you next week!”
Christine wrote and sent a few words on her Facebook account on her computer, and then plunged into the world of music again.
…
While the Voice of China officials, the agency and record company behind Christine, and many North American media outlets who were dissatisfied with Wang Qian's hype were trying to stir up trouble.
The sales of Wang Qian’s three works in countries around the world have not stopped!
Although.
Because the pace set by many European and American media has had some impact on sales.
but.
Sales volume is always moving forward and cannot go backward.
So! No matter how reluctant some European and American media and singers and musicians are to accept it.
but……
In the afternoon.
The terrifying sales of Wang Qian’s three songs were still clearly presented to them.
To describe it with the title of a Chinese media:
“The trembling European and American music scene!”
Below that long list of numbers.
The European and American music scene was silent.
