Yang Ming, Mu Ying, He Huan and the others went to rehearse with the band after a while.

Originally, he was just going to go there alone, but Mu Ying, He Huan and the others had to go there to hear what Yang Ming's new song was like, so Yang Ming didn't stop them.

The so-called rehearsal means that Yang Ming follows the rhythm of the band and walks a few times to get familiar with the music.

He won't rehearse hard there, the main thing is that Yang Ming has new songs this time, otherwise he doesn't even need to practice, he just needs to sing along with the rhythm.

After a long time, Mu Ying and He Huan listened to Yang Ming and sang the new song without trying too hard, with a little bit of surprise in their eyes.

"You can understand it as soon as you hear it, and you will have endless aftertaste!" He Huan praised Yang Ming with a thumbs up.

Mu Ying also said in an admiring tone: "I didn't expect you to have such a great talent in popular songs, little brother!"

The new song Yang Ming just sang is not considered pop music, but rather the popular music that was popular in the 1960s.

For popular music like this, if you are not an older musician, you will not have the skills to write this song.

Faced with the admiration of the two people, Yang Ming shrugged and said nothing.

Then, he walked again according to the rhythm of the music, and then made an OK gesture to the band, that's it.

He joined the show relatively late and would definitely not have a backup dancer, so he would only perform alone. As long as he cooperated well with the band, there would be no problem.

"This song is good. It fits the theme of "The Same Song" so well. I think the big guys from Nanhai Province who are here tonight will also like this song very much." He Huan slowly commented on Yang Ming's new song.

.

"Yeah!" Mu Ying nodded in agreement.

As soon as she finished saying this, she turned to Yang Ming and asked: "Brother, the song you just promised me must be at least as good as your song. Don't fool me with ordinary works."

Upon hearing this, Yang Ming quickly nodded and promised: "Sister Mu, don't worry, I will never fool you."

Mu Ying was the one who led him into the entertainment industry. When he first debuted, Mu Ying looked at him differently and did not look down on him because he was a newcomer. Instead, he supported Yang Ming in all aspects and introduced him to famous names in the music industry.

person.

When he first held a concert, Mu Ying not only came to support it in person, but even invited many well-known singers to be guests.

It can be said that Mu Ying treats Yang Ming like his own brother from the bottom of his heart.

Yang Ming has always been grateful for this and treats Mu Ying as his own sister. Naturally, he will not fool Mu Ying.

Afterwards, the three of them walked around the stage and got familiar with the venue. Yang Ming already had a good idea of ​​the evening's performance.

For someone like him who has held several concerts around the world, singing two songs in one party is nothing.

"Brother, sister, I might really have to terminate my contract with Rock Records. I guess I might really end up working for you."

The three of them found a place to sit down and chat, and suddenly these words came out of Mu Ying's mouth.

After hearing this, Yang Ming had a look of surprise on his face. He didn't know what was going on. But before he could speak, Mu Ying continued: "Hey, the entire record industry is going downhill now. Except for those who have a certain reputation and accumulated fans,

Singer, the new albums released by other singers are basically not very good, the entire record industry is declining, the boss of Rock Records is already planning to sell the company, and my contract is about to expire, so I am not going to go with him.

There’s a new owner.”

After saying these words, not only Mu Ying showed a look of loss and confusion on her face, but He Huan also looked sad, feeling sad for the gradual decline of the record industry.

The atmosphere unconsciously became heavy.

When Yang Ming saw the hesitant expressions on their faces, he felt filled with emotion.

Although the history of past and present lives has long since changed, some nodes in the general direction of history will still remain unchanged.

Seeing that Mu Ying and He Huan were so lonely due to the decline of the record industry, Yang Ming couldn't help but feel lucky for those musicians in his previous life.

Although the record industry in the previous life also experienced a downturn early, and although there was no lack of piracy factors, the record industry in the previous life directly entered the free era of the Internet before establishing a sound industrialized system. Unlike Mu Ying and He Huan in the current era, there are countless people like them.

Musicians who have enjoyed great success in the recording industry feel even more painful and disappointed.

The record industry was so brilliant in the 1980s, but now it is gradually sluggish. Even Yang Ming himself can clearly feel it.

The sales of each of his albums are now much higher than in the past, but Liu Xinsheng often laments that with Yang Ming's talent in music, if it were in the 1990s, there would be no problem doubling his album sales.

But now due to the rise of the Internet, the recording industry has gradually been replaced by the Internet.

Video stores on the market are the most obvious performers.

From easily selling thousands of copies a day to now struggling to sell thousands a year, records are gradually fading out of the public eye and becoming collectibles. The number of video stores across the country is rapidly decreasing at a visible rate.

In fact, this is also the general trend.

From cassettes to CDs, from CDs to digital music, this is not the case.

The only thing that remains unchanged is that the touching melody has never left us.

But fortunately, this life is not like the previous one, where piracy is rampant. Even if a singer does not have records, he can still live well.

Online music downloads are all paid downloads. Every time a fan downloads a piece of music from the website, the website will give the singer a share. The better the song and the more famous the singer, the greater the income will be.

Unlike in previous lives, big-name singers made it to the end and had to go through concerts and receive various announcements to maintain their popularity.

This is also forced.

"There is no problem. If Sister Mu really comes to Dongfang Huayin, I will definitely sweep the bed and wait for her!" Yang Ming waited for Mu Ying to calm down before speaking.

Nowadays, Oriental Huayin's influence in the music scene is growing. There are already several diva singers, and there is even a diva from the American music scene. Now that Mu Ying has joined, it is the icing on the cake.

However, Yang Ming feels that Oriental Huayin’s transformation will be accelerated.

The decline of the record industry does not mean the decline of pop music. As long as the transformation is successful, Oriental Huayin will definitely take this opportunity to rise and become the most influential music production company in the Chinese music scene.

Once Oriental Huayin becomes a giant-level music production company, it will take a greater initiative when negotiating profit sharing with the website.

Yang Ming felt that it was necessary to build a professional music website to provide digital downloads. Especially with the rise of digital music, in-car music will no longer be limited to one or two CDs. This will also be a big piece of cake.

A few people had been sitting there drinking tea, chatting, and discussing the future of music records.

With the arrival of Li Feifei and Li Xiangjun, they also joined this topic.

We are all musicians, so we are naturally sensitive to this topic, and we are also very concerned about the future.

In fact, the current recording industry makes it impossible for them to see the future, even for music goddesses like Li Xiangjun. With the support of Yang Ming's songs, Li Xiangjun's comeback has soared in popularity, and she has returned to her previous peak.

After her album was released, it was also a huge hit, and soon surpassed platinum sales and reached gold sales.

But after gold sales, the growth rate is very slow. It is estimated that diamond sales will not reach this year within one year.

There is no way, this is the current situation of the recording industry.

Not only Li Xiangjun, but also many other singers at the level of kings and queens in the music industry have also released albums, hoping to restore the album's collapse, but it still doesn't work.

When Yang Ming heard everyone lamenting that even the King of Heaven and the Queen of Heaven didn't work, he also cursed in his heart. It was the same in his previous life.

Time passes by, and the opening time of "Same Song" is coming soon.

Everyone also returned to their respective lounges and began to prepare.

Tonight, the tickets for the first show of "The Same Song" at the Nanhai Stadium have already been sold out.

A music evening like this with many well-known singers participating is very rare even in the country. Not to mention in the local city of Yanghua, Nanhai Province, the tickets have long been sold out and it is hard to get a ticket.

Even Wu Yuanzhi didn't have time to publicize that Yang Ming would also attend tonight's party, and the people in Yanghua snatched up all the tickets.

Nowadays, ticket scalpers outside have priced the tickets up to 2,000 Chinese yuan each, but it is still hard to get a ticket.

However, when Phoenix TV hosts such a large-scale music show, many people question whether Phoenix TV can maintain profitability because the investment is too high.

The singers who have been revealed are all well-known celebrities, and the appearance prices of these celebrities are not low.

Even if they charge a personal price, Phoenix TV still can't afford it.

However, what is not well known is that Wu Yuanzhi did not spend much money to invite these big-name singers.

Because of Yang Ming, Phoenix TV and Oriental Huayin both have the same boss.

Yang Ming naturally knew that in his previous life, there was a show that had very high ratings. Not to mention the advertising fee, there were probably many celebrities who would be willing to participate even if they paid the extra money.

A program with hot ratings can significantly increase the popularity of celebrities.

The show The Voice in my previous life is an obvious example.

"Same Song" has more or less such factors. In addition, with the strong appeal of CCTV in the previous life, not many singers dared to refuse CCTV's invitation.

In this world, Phoenix TV naturally does not have such a strong background.

But it doesn't matter.

As long as you can get your name out in the first episode, I believe there will be many singers willing to participate in "Same Song" in the future.

Moreover, Yang Ming's positioning of "The Same Song" is different in this generation. As long as this program, which aims to unite the hearts of Chinese people around the world, is successful, it will definitely attract the attention of high-level officials. As long as there is support from the government, it will definitely

It will bring great political influence to the program itself.

So in this case, with this glamorous coat, the program team can invite singers with a certain status to participate in the recording of the program as long as they pay a small price.

The most important thing now is that tonight's first episode of "The Same Song" must be a success, and it must be an extraordinary success.

Amid deafening applause and screams, the party officially began.

The host is Teacher He, the host of Phoenix TV's "Happy Camp".

It can be seen that Wu Yuanzhi has put in a lot of effort for this program and used the TV station's greatest strength to support this program.
