Chapter 400 Interview ING
"How did you make your first album? At that time, no one thought about making an album in the form of an online music album, right? What does such a form come from? Kayla asked.
Wang Zhengfei's head was slightly on one side. In fact, it was because of the pressure of CCTV blocking too much at that time. Under the pressure of CCTV, how dared to offend CCTV for Wang Zhengfei, a newcomer? Even if he offended CCTV, there was no need to offend CCTV for Wang Zhengfei. It was really unnecessary.
So Wang Zhengfei had no choice but to think of taking the singer's road. If the singer's road is good, the future is boundless.
However, if you want to take the path of a singer, you have to sign a record company. Now Star Entertainment is still a comprehensive surname company with the surname of the economic company as the main and the surname of the film and television company as the auxiliary. It has no experience in the field of records, so if you want to make a record, you must give Wang Zhengfei's record to Others, not to mention such Gaoyan's ideas, that is to say, the time and energy spent in this process can be said to be very large. It can't be finished in a year and a half. Find a company, negotiate conditions, sign a contract, and then start to collect songs, and then make, record, fill records, and sell on the shelves. It is impossible to complete it without a year and a half.
And it is urgent time to crack the blocking of CCTV. It is impossible to wait for such a long time, not to mention that a record company will fight with CCTV for him.
Compared with ordinary formal albums, because online music albums are distributed on the Internet, the time required can be said to be reduced by countless times. For ordinary online musicians, the biggest problem is the problem of songs. It is necessary to choose which catchy songs that can be popular, often need to It took a long time to brew, but for Wang Zhengfei, this is the least problem. There is not much else in his mind, that is, he has the most songs in the future, so he chose the online album at that time. This seemed extremely adventurous at that time, but now it seems to be a more correct decision.
Of course, this so-called online music album is actually not the right way, nor does it mean that this way is not good, but this way is not conducive to the development of the music world. Now that the music world is so sluggish, pirated is actually only a part of the reason. After all, before the new century, piracy already existed, but the problem is What really pulls the music world into the abyss is the emergence of MP3. MP3 is countless times more lethal than the original Walkman. It doesn't even need a CD, and you can download countless songs at any time. You don't have to give a dime. It can be said that more entangled people will make people more entangled.
Major record companies hate this gadget. It turns out that online albums are not cost-effective, and the capital cannot be recovered. It is not a long-term way at all. Only formal records are the king of development. This is also the reason why Wang Zhengfei quickly turned to the development of physical albums later. Only physical development can develop in a cycle. .
"The first album has something to do with the environment of my debut. When I debuted, it was on the Internet. Before the first online album, in fact, I had some singles on the Internet one after another, and finally choosing the online album has nothing to do with this!" Wang Zhengfei said.
"I was not in a good situation at that time, so I thought it would be better to change my job and change my mood, so I thought of an album, which happened to have some songs in my hand!" Wang Zhengfei said.
"Many people say that the style of the songs in your album has changed a lot, but they are very good. I don't know how you wrote it?" Kayla took a sip of soup and asked.
"This depends, but I will experience different situations and then stimulate the source of inspiration. Basically, my works come from my life!" Wang Zhengfei said with a smile, it is true that his works come from some experiences of life, which will be relatively more real.
"Who are you mainly influenced by so many changed music styles?" Kayla asked.
"A lot, such as Zhou Huajian, such as Andy Lau, such as Zhang Xueyou, such as Jay Chou!" Wang Zhengfei said.
"Wait a minute, Jay Chou, is that Jay Chou from Taiwan?" Kayla suddenly said.
"Yes, that's him. Do you know him?" Wang Zhengfei asked.
"Oh, of course, he was the third artist to be on our weekly magazine before you. A few years ago, his exclusive interview was also my interview!" Kayla said.
"So that's it!" Wang Zhengfei said, has Jay Chou ever been to Time magazine? Wang Zhengfei didn't know this, but before the exclusive interview with Time magazine, he paid special attention to it. It seems that there is such a thing. Jay Chou appeared on the cover of Time magazine in 2003, and Wang Zhengfei seems to be the first artist in the mainland to appear on the cover of Time magazine. This glory is not low.
"Zhou is not a few years older than you. How can you be influenced by his music!" Kayla asked, you know, Jay Chou is only a few years older than Wang Zhengfei. Both sides are still of the same generation. How can they say that Wang Zhengfei is influenced by Jay Chou's music?
"Actually, that's it. In fact, I'm also a fan of Jay Chou!" Wang Zhengfei said with a smile that in his previous life, Wang Zhengfei appreciated Zhou Tianwang, who had a surname. Although he was not a hardcore fan, he was generally supportive.
"You know, I'm not an artist from the beginning. When Jay Chou was on your magazine, I just made my debut!" Wang Zhengfei said that in the past life and the years in this life, it was impossible to be completely unaffected by Jay Chou.
Kayla thinks so. Although Wang Zhengfei's influence is a little different from that of Jay Chou now. Many people think it is difficult to imagine that Wang Zhengfei will still be a fan of Jay Chou. Of course, this fan should refer to music, not those fans in the general sense. When Wang Zhengfei made his debut. Jay Chou was already famous. At that time, no one expected that Wang Zhengfei would be born and eventually surpass Jay Chou's achievements and influence.
To some extent, Jay Chou and Wang Zhengfei are very similar. They are both representatives of the young generation of singers. They all caused a sensation as soon as they debuted, and they were also topical figures. They also appeared in Time magazine just a few years later. Of course, Wang Zhengfei is much younger than Jay Chou.
"Many people say that the Chinese style you make has its own taste. What do you think of this!" Kayla said.
"Chinese style, it should be said that it has just emerged. There will definitely be all kinds of Chinese style songs in the future. It should be said that this is a very broad field. Our China has 5,000 years of history and culture, which are the precious wealth left to us by our ancestors. Wealth, there are still a lot of things we can explore, which are definitely not limited to the Chinese style that everyone hears now!" Wang Zhengfei said. And I just officially listed this style. In fact, before that, many people have tried, including Jay, Wang Lihong and so on. The so-called Yangtze River back waves push forward waves, and the front waves die on the beach. I think I will be one of the front waves on the beach sooner or later!"
After listening to the translation, Kayla suddenly sneered. She didn't expect Wang Zhengfei to have such a humorous side.
"What do you think of your music?" Kayla asked.
"My music is all my favorite music. I only make my favorite music!" Wang Zhengfei said that if he didn't like these songs, he wouldn't be able to remember them at all.
"Are you satisfied with other singers interpreting your work?"
"I should be quite satisfied. My works, if I don't sing by myself or sing in chorus, they are all songs for my company's junior sisters. They are all girls' songs, which are different from my own songs. Of course, they are very powerful artists!" At this time, Wang Zhengfei made a small recommendation to his junior sisters.
"You speak very bluntly. Will the company object to it?" Kayla asked that before she came, she had also done a lot of homework. She knew that Wang Zhengfei was a very straightforward person, that is to say, she had no scruples. She was basically a young man. Such a surname, not to mention in the entertainment industry, would not be very popular even in the general workplace. This is also for What, if there are a few people in the entertainment industry who dare to tell the truth, it will be particularly conspicuous, as if they stand out from the crowd, and Wang Zhengfei is undoubtedly the most dazzling of those cranes.
"I can't help it. That's my last name! The company can only take it as my personal characteristic. They can't force me to pretend like others. Let me tell lies!" Wang Zhengfei said with a smile that it is actually very beneficial to say it bluntly. At least it is rare to encounter any crisis of trust, unlike many idols who pretend to be good, because the image is too perfect, it is also easy to be suspected and criticized, because the perfect image is fake at first glance, and the public is not Fool, because the image you have shown is false, and the public also knows that it is false, how can it be trusted by the public? It is based on lies. No matter how much it is said, the false is always false, and the lie is always just a lie!
