Coquettish Rebirth

When Jia Hongjian, Spielberg and others flew to Tiannan Province by plane, Ai Jing, who was at home in the capital, was sitting on the balcony drinking tea and thinking under the afternoon sun. \She is a singer-songwriter. This word is relatively new. If you change it to "human language", it is a singer-songwriter.As a singer-songwriter, sometimes she has to be like a writer, keeping a certain amount of solitary space. Only when she is alone, can her brain calm down and think about some things, and only then can she dig some emotions inward. She is too extroverted and likes to play too much. It is basically impossible for a person with children to become an excellent creator.

Ai Jing is quietly thinking about her music route at this time, and on the coffee table next to her teacup, there is a sales report of her latest album.Her new album "The Story of Yanfen Street" released in the middle of this year did not sell well, or compared to her previous two albums, it was not very good.Her first album "My 1997" was made by her boyfriend Liu Zhuohui and Rolling Stone's musician Chen Sheng - that is, the master who Nai Cha Liu Ruoying has been secretly in love with for n years. Hong Kong and Taiwan cooperated with Dadi Records and distributed it as an agent in Hong Kong and Taiwan.Her two albums "My 1997" and "Your Military Uniform" both sold very well in China, and they were both popular and popular, but when it came to this Chapter 1997 album, sales dropped.

This has to make Ai Jing start to think quietly, although her boyfriend Liu Zhuohui is very encouraging her to make music with her own style, saying that she should keep away from popular music, saying that a woman like Wang Hao is not because she also relies on unpopular songs but is very Is it sought after?But saying so, Ai Jing still can't help but want to find out what consumers or audiences want!

> There is no change in her image positioning, she still has a very pure look, she still wears a blue sweater casually like the girl next door, and her hair is not carefully groomed like a star.There is no heavy makeup on the face.According to her own feelings, all these are consistent with her previous albums, but why is it only popular but not popular?

That's right, her new album is only praised by professionals in the industry, but the sales are not very good!If it weren't for this, she wouldn't have started to get confused about her music path at all.Because she got up so smoothly, she doesn't have any experience in this area now.It was at this time, because she encountered the "Chinese Singer Professional League" on China Satellite TV, that she would do everything possible to want to participate-in order not to use her own music to test what the audience likes?

Of course, this reason was her own petty thinking, she didn't dare to tell her boyfriend Liu Zhuohui, otherwise he would have to lecture him endlessly.In comparison, now Ai Jing is not so much fond of making her own style of music.In fact, I like to see that many people like the music I make!She is not Gauguin, she will not do her own art without seeking fame and fortune, and she does not want to starve to death for doing her own art.Just like ordinary people, she wants to be Picasso more - to be recognized by others and make a lot of money at the same time!Being recognized is very important to everyone!

She couldn't figure out what kind of music consumers would like, and she couldn't even think of it because of the pain in her head.In fact, not only her, but musicians all over the mainland can't figure out what type or subtle type of music consumers in this era need.Because everyone has the fog of time and space that cannot be seen through, no one knows what kind of songs will be popular in the future, especially in this great era.The current society in mainland China is undergoing rapid social transformation, and it is 10 times faster than other countries to go through social changes that can only be experienced by others in decades. In this social change, pop music Hong Kong has begun to recover.Before determining her own style of mainland pop music, Ai Jing and other musicians can be said to be the ones who rushed to the front line to cross the river by feeling the stones.Crossing the river by feeling the stones, how can you not be confused?And they didn't know how wide the river was, where the other bank was, and they didn't even know if they were going in the right direction!

And all this, basically in this era.There can only be one person who knows, and this person is - Jia Hongjian!But the problem is, only Jia Hongjian knows this era and only he knows... But at this time, Ai Jing didn't know why, maybe relying on her keen sixth sense of a woman, she suddenly wanted to hear about that seemingly The opinion of the very young Mr. Jia.After all, Mr. Jia seemed very sincere. When they met for the first time, he was able to tell the key core of the whole program so directly, and pointed out that all the music was for the purpose of pleasing the audience.Ai Jing was deeply impressed by her attitude of pleasing the audience instead of the singer.

She picked up the phone at home and called China Satellite TV.It was a woman who answered the phone, "Hi, I'm Ai Jing, is Mr. Jia in?" "Hello, Mr. Jia is not here right now, I can leave a message for you if you need anything..." said the other side. "Okay, I have something about music and I want to ask Mr. Jia, please ask Mr. Jia to call me back when you are free? Thank you..."

Next, Ai Jing waited quietly.In her imagination, Mr. Jia should have gone to a meeting?For a meeting, one or two hours at most?It would be best if Mr. Jia could call before her boyfriend came back at night, otherwise there would be a little trouble... Eh?Why did the phone call make it look like an affair?This is so cool!

Ai Jing made a good plan, but the problem is that Jia Hongjian is not in a meeting at all, but on the plane.So Ai Jing waited and waited, and when the sun went down, Jia Hongjian still hadn't called.She anxiously thought that Mr. Jia would not really call after her boyfriend came back?That's really inconvenient to explain clearly... Ai Jing waited so anxiously, especially when her boyfriend Liu Zhuohui came back, she felt a sense of embarrassment about being caught in bed for having an affair!She was afraid that Jia Hongjian would call at this time, but in the end what reassured her or made her unable to figure it out was that Jia Hongjian didn't call until she went to sleep.

After Jia Hongjian arrived in Tiannan Province that day, he was warmly received by the Tiannan Provincial Party Committee and the provincial government. In the evening, he also participated in the welcome dinner. When he arrived at the hotel to start the machine, it was already midnight.Jia Hongjian got up around 9 o'clock the next morning, and only then did he receive a call from China Satellite TV.So early in the morning, Jia Hongjian called.

At this time, Ai Jing's boyfriend just left the apartment and went to work in the company.Now Liu Zhuohui has a conflict with his friend who founded Dadi Records together, so he wants to withdraw his shares. These things are just like a divorce between husband and wife. There are many things to talk about all day long.Just as Liu Zhuohui left the apartment, Jia Hongjian's phone rang right after he left. "Hello?" Ai Jing, who was wearing pajamas, answered the phone sleepily. "Hello? Ai Jing? I'm Jia Hongjian, what do you need from me?" Jia Hongjian's deep and powerful voice came from the other end of the phone.

Hearing such a reassuring voice, Ai Jing suddenly woke up a little bit, she wiped her eyes with her hand, thought for a while and said: "Ah, what, Mr. Jia...I, I want to ask you , what do you think of the future of our Chinese pop music?" When she spoke, she suddenly felt ashamed as a singer asking a boss what path she should take, so she temporarily changed to this one Very grand topic.

Hearing this question, Jia Hongjian was a little confused. Could it be that the other party called yesterday just to talk about these general issues? "How should I put it? Piracy alone can't destroy China's original music, but I don't know if the development of various technologies will cause other impacts. After all, there was no pirated version before, right? Chinese pop music, It may take more than ten or twenty years to develop on your own and slowly form your own unique style. If it can be formed, then the vitality will be more tenacious. But if it cannot be formed, it will be interrupted, then it will be more dangerous..."

Jia Hongjian's answer was very ambiguous, which not only reflected his foresight, but also did not appear to be too clever.After Ai Jing finished listening, she felt that Jia Hongjian's understanding was quite good - at least many people in the industry understood this.Now the people in the record industry in mainland China are a bit like Zhang Shuxin of Ying Haiwei. Zhang Shuxin knows that their company will definitely make a lot of money in 10 years, but the fucking question is what are they going to do in these [-] years?Everyone knows that the future is bright, but what is confused is now!

So at this time, Ai Jing asked: "What do you think, Mr. Jia, what path should we take now? Is it rock? Is it folk? Or something else? Should we pursue artistry itself, or pursue broad recognition? Pursue broad recognition, how should we pursue it?"

Hmm... When Jia Hongjian heard this, he suddenly felt that Ai Jing had encountered a predicament, which Jia Hongjian had encountered in his previous life.That is, after entering the industry a little deeper, there will be a lot of confusion, and it will become the feeling of seeing mountains but not mountains.For example, in a company, after becoming a small leader at the grassroots level, in the face of factional struggles in the company, should he participate in it or not?Should I find a faction with an attitude that is beneficial to me, or find a faction that is better for the company?
