Chapter 198: Spring Festival Gala, King of OST (Original Soundtrack)



"Ahhh, so handsome."

"Li Chengyin!"

"Brother, we satellites will always support you."

"Please, you must be with Xiao Feng."

"This is a local specialty I bought in Yunnan Province. I'll give you one."

“…”

Wei Yang's itinerary this time was not announced to the public, and no fans were arranged to pick him up at the airport. With his current status, he does not need these tricks to show his popularity.

The so-called celebrity pick-up at the airport requires nothing more than two conditions.

One is that the popularity of the artist is high and the schedule is transparent, so local fans want to see their idol and cheer for him, so they organize a pick-up at the airport. The other is that the agency team packages and asks for favors themselves to create the appearance of the artist's popularity.

It is very simple to distinguish them. Just look at the artist’s condition. If they are dressed casually and come and go in a hurry, it means that they are busy running around for announcements and have no time to do this kind of thing.

If the artist is dressed up beautifully, interacts with a large number of fans warmly and cordially, and even stays at the airport for a long time, some people will take pictures with cameras and mobile phones.

It is most likely that they hired someone or that the management team has good contact with the fan group. Of course, some artists who pay attention to their image and pamper their fans are not ruled out, but the possibility is relatively low.

With Wei Yang's popularity, if he announced his itinerary, even if it was a populous city like Beijing, I wouldn't say how many people would come, but having a thousand or so people would be like a piece of cake.

So apart from some public activities, Wei Yang's schedule is basically opaque now.

But even so, Boss Wei's popularity and fame are so high that once he is recognized, dozens of fans will appear among the passengers at the scene.

In this situation, it was impossible for Wei Yang to stay to take pictures and sign autographs, otherwise more and more people would gather. So he could only wave and smile under the protection of the people around him, and then leave in a hurry.

As soon as he got into the car, someone posted the news and photos of Wei Yang appearing at the airport on Weibo.

When seen by some fans and onlookers, they couldn't help but speculate the purpose of Wei Yang's trip to the capital and whether they would have the chance to see Wei Yang.

Originally, the news was only spread in a small range. After all, it is normal for celebrities to travel everywhere, and the number of celebrities jammed at Beijing airport easily reaches double digits every day.

It was not until the afternoon that an insider broke the news on Tianya that Wei Yang appeared at the CCTV headquarters, suspected to be participating in the rehearsal of the Spring Festival Gala.

One stone can cause a thousand ripples!

During the Spring Festival every year, the guest list of the Spring Festival Gala has always been a regular feature of the entertainment industry.

Especially now that the Spring Festival Gala is still having its influence, all aspects of the news are receiving a lot of attention, and major portals will even create a special section for comprehensive entertainment news about the Spring Festival Gala.

Before this, some people had already revealed that Wei Yang and Fan Xiaopang might participate in the Spring Festival Gala, but there was no confirmation yet. Today, Wei Yang appeared on CCTV, which to a certain extent confirmed the rumor.

Major media outlets followed up and soon an authoritative print media confirmed that Wei Yang had indeed participated in the rehearsal of this year's Spring Festival Gala.

Compared with the gossip on Tianya, the value of print media is still recognized by the public, so many netizens were excited.

[Wei Yang is awesome, he’s going to be on the Spring Festival Gala]

[Given his current fame, it would be strange if he didn't appear on the Spring Festival Gala]

[It is said that he almost got in last year, but didn’t get in in the end. It was successful this year.]

[Fan… whether to go up or not, the two of "My Love from the Star" are together, ahhhh, I can't stand it]

[I haven't seen any news about Fan..., I guess it's Wei Yang alone]

[Looking forward to it, I wonder what show Wei Yang will perform]

[Probably singing, don’t forget, Wei Yang is also a singer]

[That’s right, when people mention Wei Yang, they think of him as a star, a businessman, and a screenwriter. His musician attributes are greatly underestimated.]

[Praise "Love Sorrow", damn, it makes me cry when I hear it]

["Love Sorrow" was not written by him alone, it seems to be a purchased song, Wei Yang participated in writing the lyrics and adapting it. "First Encounter" and "Life and Death" were written by Wei Yang]

[“First Encounter” is also good, it feels great to listen to]

[I prefer "Life and Death"]

[That’s right, the line “Wait until time and space are shattered, mountains and rivers turn to ashes, and faces wither”, it feels like I will never part with you until the mountains are gone and the sky and the earth unite]

[Everyday request for Wei Yang to release an album]

[If Wei Yang were to appear on the Spring Festival Gala, I would stop playing mahjong and drag my whole family to watch it]

【……】

Different from ordinary film and television stars appearing on the Spring Festival Gala, except for fans, people are not very interested.

Because I understand that these people's works may not be particularly outstanding, they are just for showing their faces and making up the crowd.

Wei Yang is different, because he is not only an actor, but also a famous musician.

His representative work "Light Chaser" was ranked among the top ten Chinese music songs in 2009 in terms of popularity and fame. At its peak, it even competed with Jay Chou's works.

The theme song of "My Destiny", "My Love from the Star", is called "My Destiny to Love You" in Chinese and was also very popular in 2010.

Especially the climax and chorus part, which once became the king of ringtones. All kinds of mobile phones and related notification tones use this song, the kind that makes you vomit just by listening to it.

Last year, "Hello, Old Times" was broadcast. "Time Reverie" and "Distant Song", written and composed by Wei Yang and sung by Huang Ling, also became the new rising stars in the Chinese music scene in 2010 and have long been in the top ten of the charts.

It is worth mentioning that most of the theme songs and interludes of the Zhenhua Trilogy were created by Wei Yang himself.

Among them, the first part "The Best of Us", "Geng Geng Yu Huai", "Dear Classmates", the second part "The Long Confession" and "Before the Tears Fall", and the third part "Time Reverie" and "Distant Songs", except for a few one or two songs, basically all of them were performed by Huang Ling.

Many people mention the Zhenhua Trilogy, which refers to screenwriter Wei Yang, director Liu Junjie and teacher Fan Ming who played the dean of studies.

But in fact, Huang Ling was also a behind-the-scenes hero who participated in the entire trilogy, and even made a guest appearance as a music teacher in the last step "Hello, Old Times".

Some people even joked that after Huang Ling finished singing the Zhenhua trilogy, she managed to create half an album.

Thanks to this Zhenhua Album, Huang Ling also became famous and finally got rid of the embarrassing situation where her songs were popular but she was not. She became a new popular female singer in mainland China in the past two years.

Especially last year's two songs "Time Reverie" and "Distant Song", which performed well and had a high reputation. Not only did they attract a lot of fans, but they also won numerous awards.

Of course, Huang Ling's popularity was not only due to her good singing skills, but also the scandal between her and Wei Yang.

Wei Yang wrote most of the "album" in one breath. The Zhenhua Trilogy has never changed. With his reputation, how could it not make people think too much.

This is really an injustice to Boss Wei! He found Huang Ling because they were old friends. They knew each other when they were still in the limelight. Although he schemed against her at that time, they still had a good relationship afterwards.

Huang Ling was also a very particular person. She was always grateful to Wei Yang in her heart, and later on, she offered to pay a friendly price for the jobs she took on Blue Whale. Whenever he needed help, he would just call and come over.

As the saying goes, it is better to use the familiar rather than the new. Wei Yang and Huang Ling are friends. She is talented and famous, and the price is right, so naturally they are willing to let her sing.

Always leaning on the issue of men and women, I really underestimated Boss Wei...

Although Wei Yang himself did not sang many of these previous songs, he had already become famous.

In the current field of OST (original soundtrack), he is definitely ranked among the best, and it can even be said that he is the one with the most momentum at the moment.

This was further confirmed after the hit of "The East Palace".

The three theme songs "Love and Sorrow", "First Encounter" and "Life and Death Together" have all received considerable attention, among which "Love and Sorrow" is the most popular.

This song was discovered in the original time and space by fans of the book "Eastern Palace", who thought it was particularly suitable for "Eastern Palace". Later, it was adopted by the crew and the copyright was purchased.

In fact, this song was released very early. The first version was released as early as 2009. However, at that time, only the music was written. The lyrics and arrangement were not completed. There are also many differences between the melody and the final version.

Later, this song went through several years of evolution and multiple versions before it became the well-known "Love Sorrow".

When Wei Yang bought the copyright, the song had not been completely written, so he participated in writing the lyrics and part of the arrangement, which was a co-creation.

Strictly speaking, Wei Yang, who copied the mature version of "Love Sorrow", has made a greater contribution to this song than the original author at the moment.

In the words of the original creator [Xiao Shi Girl] in an interview, she only came up with the concept and general style of the song, and Wei Yang was the one who actually completed "Love Sorrow".

But no matter who deserves more credit for this song, the song "Love Sorrow" became extremely popular thanks to the momentum of "Eastern Palace".

It currently tops the charts on radio stations and major online music software charts, competing with the three giants of Wang Fei, Jay Chou, various superstars in Taiwan and the popular QQ Music in mainland China.

The singer of "Love Sorrow" is Zhang Liangying, who also sang the theme song of "My Love from the Star".

These two songs have greatly increased the popularity of this female singer who originated from Super Girl. If nothing unexpected happens, Boss Wei is likely to have another scandal.

In addition to "Love Sorrow", the other two theme songs of "Eastern Palace" also performed well.

Especially the song "First Meeting", which was sung by the male and female protagonists Wei Yang and Nazha, it still attracted a lot of attention.

With so many representative musical works, Wei Yang has many fans in the Chinese music scene, and quite a few of them even go to watch his dramas to hear his new songs.

If this trend continues, in a few years, Wei Yang will no longer be the Chinese pop king, but he might be able to earn the title of "King of Chinese OST".

It’s just a pity that Wei Yang is good at writing but not singing.

He has written so many songs, most of which are sung by others, and the ones he sings himself are basically songs that are more character-oriented.

This year's Spring Festival Gala, being able to see Wei Yang showing off his singing skills indeed attracted a lot of attention from his fans and music lovers.

The Spring Festival Gala program team also saw the discussions outside and saw that the popularity of the master-disciple combination of Lao Zhao and Xiao Shenyang was not much less than that of Jay Chou, so they felt more and more that this was the right move.

In order to create momentum, after public opinion fermented, the Spring Festival Gala program team also rarely acknowledged that Wei Yang would be on this year's Spring Festival Gala program list, and even revealed some big news.

At present, Wei Yang's program rehearsals are going smoothly. He is just waiting to participate in the final rehearsal. Wei Yang's program this time is a new song he composed.

As soon as this news came out, it attracted countless attention.

Wei Yang's new song at the Spring Festival Gala is more exciting than simply showing up to sing an old song that everyone has heard of...
