Chapter 303 Shaking
"As soon as I came here, I released three main hits. Is this preparing to learn from An Keqing, or is it targeting you?"

On July 7, Gu Xi’s new album was launched. Changing the tradition that singers usually release a title song first, Wanwei released three title songs this time: "Red Bean", "The Postman", and "Butterfly".

Among them, "The Postman" and "Butterfly" are Mandarin and Cantonese versions of the same song with different words.

This move has attracted the attention of many people in the recording industry.

As Jiang Zhiran's manager, Lu Yuanfan naturally paid special attention to this matter.

Jiang Zhiran and Ding Ning made a lot of news yesterday. Even though Jiang Zhiran had apologized, Ding Ning also issued a statement expressing his belief in Jiang Zhiran's character. Feeling the turbulence in the dark, Ding Ning might not just let it go, and might come up with some countermeasures.

As he expected, Gu Xi, a newcomer under Ding Ning's banner, released an album today, and there were three title songs in it. In his opinion, it was obviously aimed at Jiang Zhiran.

After all, Jiang Zhiran now has two songs on the Huage chart. If Gu Xi can beat him with one song, then Jiang Zhiran will be regarded as "losing" the secret rivalry between the two heavenly kings, at least many people Definitely see it that way.

"For me?" Jiang Zhiran glanced sideways at Lu Yuanfan.

"Yeah." Lu Yuanfan, who was paying attention to Gu Xi's album, didn't notice Jiang Zhiran's cold face at all: "There is no special purpose. No one will release three title songs at once. Ding Ning must want to start from these three songs. Push a song out to beat your position on the list.”

Jiang Zhiran curled his lips and smiled when he heard the words, he didn't say anything, he didn't bother to say it and didn't want to say it.

In his opinion, Lu Yuanfan is simply making a fuss out of a molehill.

Who is Gu Xi?

A rookie who debuted with Feng Liqin, the queen of the song, but hit a wall as soon as he debuted and was scolded bloody.

At that time, I don't know how many people in the industry and outside the industry felt that the existence of this newcomer ruined a good song "Qing Ping Tiao".

In his opinion, although Gu Xi is far from as bad as those people say, her timbre and singing style are doomed to be difficult to get along in the current pop music circle.

Compared with Kong Que, who has become famous for a long time, not to mention that Gu Xi does not have the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity when Kong Que debuted, her voice quality is also far behind Kong Que.

The same unique timbre, Kong Que's voice is very down-to-earth, like a plate of fresh food full of color and fragrance.

As for the skills, it is actually a very common and popular singing method that is widely accepted by the public, but compared to many Yeluzi singers, she has a little academic style and incorporates her personal characteristics, so she sounds a little different .

In fact, the people who are mixed in the pop music world today are basically similar popular singing styles, that is, each person's expression is slightly different, which will lead to individual differences in hearing experience.

Kong Que's singing is not far from everyone else's. To say that her singing is unique is pure nonsense from the ignorant media, who confuse the tone with the singing.

As for Gu Xi, she is really special both in tone and technique, a bit similar to western soul singers, closer to stars in the era of Xiang Qin and Feng Liqin, and has fallen behind the aesthetics of the times. At least in China, Gu Xi's singing style is very different. It is very popular, but among the new generation, no one has come out of this style.

However, Western soul singers are quite popular, but unfortunately Gu Xi is not a Westerner. Her Chinese face is doomed, no matter how good her English singing is, she will not have a big market.

Western music only believes in whites and blacks, and yellows, even Japanese songs that had a wide influence in the early days, and South Koreans who have kept up with the trend of the times in recent years, can only play teeth.

In the domestic market, Gu Xi is doomed to be a niche singer, worried that she will suppress his position on the list by throwing three songs directly?

I believe that Ding Ning himself did not have such plans and ideas.

In his opinion, the reason why Ding Ning came up with three title songs at once was nothing more than a gimmick to catch people's attention.

The Mandarin and Cantonese songs of "The Postman" and "Butterfly" are released at the same time, the same is true. They are all to gain attention and hype the topic, so as to increase the exposure for Gu Xi.

Seeing the obvious contempt from Jiang Zhiran's smile, Lu Yuanfan also felt that he might be worrying too much.

Jiang Zhiran is a true heavenly king, his popularity cannot be compared to that of Gu Xi, a newcomer.

So what about the three title songs, unless Ding Ning plays it himself, then it is possible to shake Jiang Zhiran's position, just Gu Xi?

Let's go to sleep, she's not An Keqing, who can play three songs in a row to reverse Li Yixian, such a myth, even if there is a second time, the protagonists will not be Gu Xi and Jiang Zhiran.

However, the thought disappeared as soon as he woke up.

Because he auditioned "The Postman."

He doesn't understand Cantonese, so when listening to this song, he turned on the lyrics.

Then, he was surprised by the lyrics and Gu Xi's singing voice.

"Until the fine snow flew down and swayed into the deep sea in the distance, and I couldn't even walk with my feet, I thought of leaving first."

"Until you can't come back, until I say you deserve it, take down your emotional baggage, or believe in love instead."

"You are a thousand piles of snow, and I am Changjie. I am afraid that they will disintegrate when the sun rises."

"Who has the right not to understand when butterflies can't fly to the end of the world."

"You are a letter and I am the postman."

"The last pair of feet, causing all the dust."

"Busy to escort, too late to disassemble, the perfect world inside..."

He thinks the lyrics are really beautiful, especially the line "You are a thousand piles of snow, I am a long street", which is simply wonderful, and most likely it will become as popular as many of Ding Ning's previous lyrics.

Moreover, the song is not bad, and Gu Xi sang it very well. When he first heard it, he was immediately lifted up to feel sad and cold.

It is obvious that Gu Xi is capable. As far as this song is concerned, her singing voice is very contagious. He really underestimated her before.

Not to mention Ding Ning's strength, this made him flustered inexplicably.

You must know that the advertising slogan of this album on the four major platforms was created by Ding Ning. If the promotion is true, the ten songs in Gu Xi's album are all arranged by Ding Ning.

Ding Ning's ability to write songs can be questioned by others, but as a person in the circle, he can't question it.

If there is one person in the current Chinese pop music scene who can make a complete rookie counterattack the king and queen, then this person, according to the current reality, can only be Ding Ning.

Neither Zheng Wei nor Jiang Zhiran could create such miracles as Li Yixian and An Keqing, but Ding Ning could. Even if he didn't want to admit it, Ding Ning's strength lay there.

With Ding Ning behind the scenes, is it really impossible for Gu Xi's three title songs to surpass the ranking of Jiang Zhiran's two title songs?
Before listening to "The Postman", he agreed with Jiang Zhiran's pride.

But now he wavered.

His mood suddenly became serious, and he quickly listened to "Butterfly" and "Red Bean".

After listening to each song, he felt that every song was very good. He wanted to listen to it again, so he mumbled, wanting to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything.

Because he is afraid of a prophecy.
