The richest person in Chinese entertainment

Chapter 526 Do You Dare to Give Me Three Years?

Who is that tone-deaf singer who has a hit album this year?

This question is known to linger in everyone's mind.

So much so that netizens began to turn into detectives and started discussions on the Internet.

At this time, Zhang Chen received a call from his alma mater, Yenching Film Academy.

"Hey?"

Zhang Chen looked at the note on the number and was a little surprised.

The other party obviously knew that Zhang Chen was busy, so he went straight to the point and said, "Zhang Chen, someone wants to ask a favor from the school teacher."

"Director Tian, how did this job fall on you?" Zhang Chen asked curiously, "We haven't been in touch for a long time. Why don't you come and sit with me?"

On the other end of the phone, Tian Zhuangzhuang sighed: "Ah, who made the school leaders think that I am more familiar with you? I don't really want to take care of the student who just enrolled last month."

Generally speaking, schools start in September.

But anything that is beneficial.

That is the college class of Beijing Film Academy.

"You've also taken on a job in the acting department?" Zhang Chen said with a smile, "It looks like you're not far from getting promoted?"

They both knew who they were talking about.

She is the “tone-deaf singer” who is making a lot of noise on the Internet right now.

This person just enrolled in the acting department of Beijing Film Academy last month, which was March this year.

When the news of his admission was announced, many people questioned it.

As a singer who has just debuted, why do you go to Beijing Film Academy instead of going to the Central Conservatory of Music or other music conservatories for further studies?
But when someone suggested that Zhang Chen also had a similar growth path, many people shut up.

Zhang Chen started out as a singer, but to everyone's surprise he chose the acting department of Beijing Film Academy when he was in college.

At that time, many people questioned Zhang Chen's choice.

They generally believe that this will be a modern version of "The Story of Zhongyong".

As a result, Zhang Chen established his popularity among Chinese male stars by playing the leading role in several Jin Yong martial arts dramas that had the highest ratings.

And during this time, higher quality albums also silenced all those who thought he was on the wrong track.

Since Zhang Chen can take care of both ends and be the best in both.

Then what else do they have to say.

Another thing is that Beijing Film Academy accepted a singer like Zhang Chen into the Performance Department.

Whether it is the school or the students, it is like a "new door" has been opened.

Many young singers from all over the country who regarded Zhang Chen as their idol applied to the Beijing Film Academy.

And Beijing Film Academy also wants to cultivate a second Zhang Chen.

They have tasted the benefits brought by Zhang Chen, but they are still not satisfied.

Especially when various talent shows emerge across the country, Beijing Film Academy will also look for suitable contestants and take the initiative to contact them.

The "Super Popular King" of "Come on! Good Man" in 06 was the next candidate they chose.

At the beginning, the leaders of Beijing Film Academy only valued this person's "appearance" and temperament that met Beijing Film Academy's admission standards.

"Super Popular King" has basically established the aesthetic standards of this person among audiences across the country.

And when this person released an album in January this year, the school leaders of Beijing Film Academy were delighted.

As soon as this album was released, it quickly topped the sales chart of Morning Light Music in mainland China.

The album sales exceeded one million copies in a short period of time, and the sales of the title song single reached a terrifying 400 million times directly on Morning Light Music.

This result is not unique, but it is much better than the performance of the albums or singles of the previous "kings and queens".

The key point is that this data is not fake.

Many users of Morning Light Music have given high praise to this song.

Although the songwriter of this song is not the singer himself.

This makes many people regretful.

They regret that not everyone is Zhang Chen.

If the songwriter of this song was also the singer himself, they would think that this singer who just debuted through a talent show last year might really be able to follow Zhang Chen's path to fame.

But then again, in the eyes of many people, China has exhausted many years of "luck" to have a Zhang Chen.

Not everyone can be like Zhang Chen, who can rely on himself to take care of "creation, recording, production, and finding distributors", and can achieve such achievements in a short period of time along the "optimal" path that all "hindsight experts" cannot pick out.

But in 07, there was such a new singer who just debuted and was able to surpass many veteran superstars and top the album sales chart.

Although this championship was quickly beaten back by Zhang Chen's new album.

But in the eyes of many people, he just couldn't beat Zhang Chen.

In other words, when it comes to dominance in the music industry, no singer in the world can compare to Zhang Chen.

So his loss was not unfair. On the contrary, because of the "handover" of sales champion with Zhang Chen's new album "Love", the agency behind him spent a lot of money on publicity.

[The intersection of "the new generation's popular king" and "the king of the world's pop music"]

[Another newcomer who has surpassed many pop stars right after debut! ]

His fans also collectively clamored that the future music scene, and even the entire entertainment industry, will soon welcome a new "king".

Zhang Chen didn’t know whether this “king” could rule the entertainment industry in the future.

Because this person is right in front of him now.

"Brother, can you ask the seniors to delete the Weibo?"

Ma Tianyu stood in front of Zhang Chen with a hunched back and a wry smile on his face.

This attitude is as humble as it can be.

"The most popular person of the new generation?" Zhang Chen looked at the man in front of him who was only two years younger than him with some amusement.

Just now, after Tian Zhuangzhuang finished the phone call, this person begged to see him with a flattering face.

Zhang Chen himself also wanted to see what this person was like.

In his previous impression, this person became famous all over the country with just one song.

Even better than the singer of "Mouse Loves Rice".

Yang Chenggang may have disappeared after releasing this song.

But this "singer" in front of Zhang Chen will still have a lot of exposure in the entertainment industry in the future.

However, because of this, some of Zhang Chen's singing segments in the variety show "Singer" were questionable.

Is this kind of person really a singer?
When other guests asked him to sing their famous songs.

This person always has an attitude of "I can't".

At first everyone thought that Ma Tianyu was just joking.

After all, no one would believe that a singer would not sing his or her own famous song.

But after such scenes occurred more and more frequently, people began to become suspicious.

Especially what Ma Tianyu said, "I really can't sing", "I don't remember the lyrics", and "I sang it seriously".

This kind of operation of trying to cover up the truth and confuse the audience by "pretending to sing badly" is to make everyone dispel their doubts about him.

Unfortunately it backfired.

When the person who participated in the master recording of Ma Tianyu's song "Damn Tenderness" which became popular all over the country in 07.

All suspicions were confirmed.

"Did you really record this song word for word?"

Zhang Chen felt it necessary to get an answer from the person himself.

The other party blushed and did not answer.

But Zhang Chen could also tell from the embarrassed expression on her face that this might be true.

After all, in his impression, it was basically a foregone conclusion that this person couldn't sing.

A piece of information was announced in both variety shows.

One of the two members is the producer of this album.

He said there was a singer whose music he participated in producing who was very popular.

But this singer really can't sing.

When recording, I recorded it word by word.

But it still doesn’t record well!

"Did you really find someone with a similar voice to yours to help you complete this album?"

This question is another piece of information released by the producer of this album.

Ma Tianyu still didn't answer.

But his head hung even lower.

Those two red ears indicate that this person is not far from being broken.

When Zhang Chen recalled the three initials "MTY" revealed by another music producer-turned-singer male artist named Jin, it became clear once again who this singer who couldn't sing was.

Combining the two, this is an ironclad case.

Or the kind that will never be able to turn over.

"You can go back." Zhang Chen waved his hand tiredly.

Ma Tianyu raised his head suddenly, and asked carefully with a hint of surprise, "What about Senior Brother?"

Zhang Chen looked at the cautious look of his "junior brother" opposite him and instantly lost interest.

"I won't allow a tone-deaf singer to deceive fans in the market." Zhang Chen's eyes were cold and emotionless. "This is our bottom line as a singer."

"But!" Ma Tianyu was anxious, "My album proves that this is a way to make money, right?"

"What way?" Zhang Chen narrowed his eyes. "A way to cheat people out of money?"

But Ma Tianyu didn't notice the cold expression on Zhang Chen's face at all at this time.

He had just debuted and had no time to learn more about Zhang Chen.

For him, this album is the foundation for whether he can gain a foothold in the entertainment industry in the future.

Now his company has started to help him organize some awards.

It is said that there is news that people from the company are helping to contact the relevant judges of the Grammy Awards.

"Brother, don't you want our Chinese songs to have a greater influence in the world?" Ma Tianyu pointed at himself and said anxiously, "My song has such a great influence in the mainland. If it wins a Grammy Award, it will definitely take Chinese songs to a higher level."

It’s not that he is stupid, but the person standing in front of him is the biggest decision maker on the presentation of next year’s Grammy Awards.

"You want me to give you a Grammy?"

Ma Tianyu was too embarrassed to admit it, but the desire in his eyes was real.

He really felt that his song had the potential to win an award.

Zhang Chen sometimes admires Zhang Yadong's ability to produce songs.

He listened to this song.

Unlike some non-professional producers, he did not edit the singer's voice into "electronic music".

He retained the most human part of a singer in the album.

But Ma Tianyu's singing is perfect in every detail.

Either Zhang Chen knew the whole story, or this guy had secretly contacted Chenguang Entertainment after winning the "Most Popular" award in the talent show, or Yin Zilan, the helmsman of Chenguang Entertainment, had tested Ma Tianyu's singing skills.

To be honest, if you don't listen carefully, you may not be able to hear the problem.

But nothing is if.

In Zhang Chen's eyes, this matter means that Zhang Yadong's skills exceed the standard.

Instead of the "singer" in front of him who can't even sing the correct pitch according to the musical score, he succeeded.

"What do you think is the criteria for a song to win an award?" Zhang Chen leaned back in the recliner, "Or what kind of song is a successful song in your eyes?"

"Sales volume!" Ma Tianyu answered Zhang Chen's question without even thinking, "As long as the fans pay for it, it's a good song. That's what you said, senior brother."

Zhang Chen paused.

He also didn't expect that the boomerang from before would hit him on the head.

He did say that truly good songs are those that fans recognize and are willing to pay for.

Whether it is "vulgar" or "elegant".

As long as the fans like it, it is a good song.

"I did say that." Zhang Chen admitted what he said very straightforwardly, "But."

"Have you heard my other words?" Zhang Chen knocked on the table. "I was strongly against those studio singers being popular in the market."

It happened on many occasions, even at award ceremonies.

Zhang Chen has raised questions to some singers of the older generation.

Those "singers" who need to go through the recording studio to tweak the audio before they can "sing" a complete song should be eliminated by the times.

Since then, many singers of the older generation have rediscovered the passion they had for singing in their youth.

It also largely prevents some "money-making" singers from appearing in the market.

"I can learn too!" Ma Tianyu still didn't want to give up.

This album is his lifeblood.

He has already tasted the sweetness brought to him by this album.

He couldn't even think about going back to the period when he had no "representative works".

"I have good looks. With the help of this album and my hard work, I can definitely become a good artist!" Ma Tianyu argued with red eyes, "Brother, you can't suppress us young people like this!"

Suppression, this is how Ma Tianyu characterized Zhang Chen’s behavior this time.

"If you really want to learn, why don't you go to the Central Conservatory of Music for further studies?"

"Because I want to be like my senior! To become a versatile artist!"

These words were like those of a fanboy, praising Zhang Chen highly.

But obviously, Zhang Chen didn't buy it.

"You haven't even figured out how to walk yet, and you're already thinking about soaring into the sky in the future?" Zhang Chen just found it a little funny. "I heard that you can't even read the most basic musical notation. Tell me, is this the normal ambition of a singer who wants to make progress?"

"I was busy with talent shows some time ago!" Ma Tianyu argued, "I'm now at Beijing Film Academy, and I'm sure I can make up for my shortcomings in the next few years."

Zhang Chen shook his head, disagreeing: "You don't have the perseverance, and I don't see your determination."

"I have!"

When people are speechless, they really laugh out loud for no apparent reason.

"Hehehe"

"Brother, don't you believe it?"

"I don't believe it." Zhang Chen twirled the pen out of boredom.

The matter was confirmed, and he lost interest in continuing the conversation: "You can go now."

"Why won't senior brother give me a chance to improve?" Ma Tianyu still wanted to fight hard.

"Ok?"

"Brother, do you dare to give me three years? Just three years!"

"No." Zhang Chen refused decisively, and emphasized one word, "Get lost!"
