Chapter 1256 1357. The band's stage

The band circle has suddenly shown a tendency to revive, which is absolutely the best news for these bands.

Not to mention those distant things, the price of inviting these bands to perform has started to rise slightly recently, especially those bands that were once famous, some of them even got doubled remuneration.

Even Nie Wei did not expect that the Stars Music Festival would bring such a favorable effect to this circle so soon.

This is a good thing. In the past, the band circle was too closed, so it could not develop and was ignored by the industry. Now this group of people are willing to come out, and I will provide them with a stage, which has a great chance of bringing these people into the mainstream.

Of course, the future development is not easy for these bands. They seem to be in the entertainment circle, but they are seriously out of touch with the entertainment circle. If they really want to make a name for themselves, in addition to the program effect, the more important thing is the development plan after becoming popular.

Just like the previous show "China Has Hip-Hop" produced by Fanxing, there were many popular hip-hop singers when the show was broadcast, and even for a while, the popularity of traffic stars was overshadowed. On the night of the finals, the number of live viewers exceeded 10 million, overwhelming all the popular anchors on the platform.

The effect caused by this cannot be compared with "PRODUCE-101", but it is not much different.

The remuneration of the two hip-hop singers who tied for the championship has also undergone earth-shaking changes. Before participating in the show, one of the singers could buy out a song for others for only 3,000 yuan. After the show was broadcast, not only did more people invite songs, but the cost of composing and writing lyrics also soared, reaching 300,000 yuan per song, a hundred times more.

The commercial performance is even more exaggerated. In the past, it was impossible to get commercial performances, and the poor white steamed buns were cold water. Now there are endless commercial performances, and the remuneration starts at six figures. Singers with good rankings can even get nearly one million yuan in remuneration.

But even with such a hot popularity, after half a year, there are not even a handful of singers who have really developed.

In addition to the exhaustion of popularity brought by the popularity of the show, more importantly, most hip-hop singers do not know how to survive in the entertainment industry.

They do not know how to manage their sudden popularity, nor do they know how to establish their image in the circle, and they do not know how to please those new fans.

In addition, they do not understand many rules in the circle. When they are popular, those companies and TV program groups may tolerate them, but as the popularity of the show fades and their popularity faces a decline, various problems will follow.

This is when a singer's adaptability is tested.

For example, one of the singers named A Gai showed his unruly side when he was on the show, and gave many people the impression that he was the kind of person who was not easy to mess with.

But after he left the show and entered the circle, he behaved particularly "well-behaved".

And unlike some hip-hop singers who insist on only making their own hip-hop music, he neither gives up his hip-hop nor is he willing to accept those pop music. He is humble and polite in dealing with people, which is completely opposite to his image in the show.

So originally his popularity was weaker than the other contestant, but half a year later, the most popular contestant had already been forgotten because of negative news, but he was still doing well in the entertainment industry.

The band actually faces the same problem, that is, they all have strong personalities. Whether it is one person or a group of people, it actually makes no difference, and sometimes a group of people can cause more trouble.

Nie Wei can provide a platform for these bands, but how to go on this road in the future, whether to change or be compatible, or to insist on oneself, this is not what Nie Wei can control.

Most of these bands have not thought of what Nie Wei thought of, or are unwilling to think about it.

Now all the bands in China seem to be in a carnival, and they all feel that the industry recovery is coming, and the program prepared by Fanxing has become a hot commodity in the eyes of all bands in China.

Because they need such a platform to open up their own fame.

Take the face for example, it is very famous in the rock circle, and perhaps people born in the 1970s and early 1980s will remember this name, but in modern times, who knows what kind of rock band this is?

There are also bands like Mirror, which debuted at about the same time as Huaer. Both bands play punk. In fact, the two bands are almost as famous in the circle, and the former even has a better reputation. But in the mainstream entertainment circle, how many people know Mirror and how many know Huaer?

This circle was really too closed before. Without the publicity of mainstream media, no matter how famous they are in the circle, it is actually just a small fight.

And the show provided by Fanxing is the best stage.

First of all, Fanxing Variety Show itself is a golden signboard. Basically, there has been no failure in the variety shows launched in these years. Although Fanxing Variety Show is better at reality shows, this kind of competitive show is not bad. Whether it is the previous "Singer" or the recently popular "China Has Hip-Hop" and "PRODUCE-101", it proves that Fanxing is capable of doing a good competitive show.

Secondly, Fanxing's publicity channels are also very powerful. Fanxing Video is currently the largest video website in China, occupying about 50% of the market share, with 300 million registered users and tens of millions of members.

In addition, Fanxing’s Weibo is the largest social platform in China and the second largest in the world, so it is very easy for this company to make someone famous.

Finally, it is naturally the reward.

Whether it is the five million album production fee or the subsequent millions of channel promotion, for today's bands, even the most powerful ones, this is considered a top reward.

I don't know how many bands are jealous of this reward. A formal album produced with five million is what countless bands dream of.

You should know that more than 90% of the bands in the country have never released a formal album. Many bands release songs by collecting five thousand, three thousand, ten thousand, and borrowing some, and then recording the records in the studio by themselves, and then selling them to fans when they go to the factory where they perform or some underground performances.

If we only consider the hardware of that kind of album, it can be said that the quality is extremely poor.

The MV must have no money to shoot, and the music arrangement was also done by a few people together. Some of them were even too lazy to make the cover, just scratched the name of the album with a whiteboard pen on the CD, and then put on the shell and sold it.

However, although these albums are shoddy in production, there are many excellent works in their content.

Unfortunately, due to lack of money for promotion, these musical works can only be circulated in a limited circle.

Now this program is equivalent to providing everyone with an opportunity. Whether it is the five million album production fee or the subsequent millions of promotion fees, they are all urgently needed by everyone.

From the announcement of the news to the end of the music festival, Fanxing has received registration information from more than three hundred bands.

Of course, this is just the initial data. There must be many people who fish in troubled waters. In order to make more use of resources for those bands with strong enough strength, Fanxing has also begun to send nearly a thousand staff members to various parts of the country to investigate the actual situation of these bands.

Nie Wei is going to select 32 bands from these hundreds of bands in the end.

This number is just the limit of a talent show. If there are more, the early stage of the program will be too procrastinated, which will affect the effect of the program.

As soon as the news came out, many bands expressed dissatisfaction, feeling that the admission rate was less than 10% at the beginning, which would be too cruel.

Fanxing never pays attention to such doubts, because strong bands will not question like this. If they don’t even have the confidence to enter the 32nd place, why should they compete for the first place? It is a waste of resources to come to the show.

Fanxing ignored it, but that doesn't mean others ignored it.

It was precisely these people's peers, many bands were upset when they saw these guys shouting.

"If you have the ability, you can enter the top 32 with your strength, then I will accept it. What's the point of you shouting for more places? You don't have the ability and still want to mix? I think you should stop playing rock and roll, go home to your parents as soon as possible."

"You are so cowardly, I am ashamed for you. You don't think about how to enter the top 32, but only want to rely on others' charity to get on the show. Why don't you just go begging?"

"If you increase the number of places, you can get in. For someone like you, you may not be able to get in even if you are 320, and it's embarrassing to be on TV."

These bands were particularly direct when expressing their anger. Both sides refused to give in and quarreled. They were also on the hot search list because of this, but the comments were completely biased towards those bands that did not need to increase the number of places.

Firstly, these bands are both strong and famous, at least they are the best among all the bands. Secondly, netizens also admire the strong. On the one hand, they are on the show based on their strength, and on the other hand, they want to increase their quota to get on the show. Comparing the two, basically no one will support the latter.

So the limelight passed in two days. No one knows how those bands who called for an increase in quota complained privately, but at least they never made similar remarks in public.

During the preparation of the program, because the topic of the band was so popular, the Pearl TV Tower specially filmed a team to find Nie Wei for an interview.

The interview time was five minutes, because it would be broadcast on the evening news of the Pearl.

Knowing that it was a very formal interview, Nie Wei also changed into a suit, and the interview took place in Nie Wei's office.

Nie Wei did not know the reporter who was interviewing. After meeting, he heard the other party's introduction and learned that her name was Wan Ting.

A woman with an ordinary appearance, but a very capable temperament and a wide range of knowledge. It was expected that the topic of the band would not be presented like some new hosts, who only asked three questions.

The interview started soon.

The first question the reporter asked was why Nie Wei was suddenly so interested in the band circle and was willing to provide them with such a good opportunity.

"Just like the previous "China Has Hip-Hop", I hope to let the Chinese people accept the art of the collision of more different cultural elements from all over the world."

"It also makes the people understand that there is a group of people who have been silently working hard for their music. Liang Gong said it well, ten years of drinking ice, it is hard to cool the blood. This group of people who insist on playing in the band have not wiped out their dreams in obscurity for so many years. I think since I have the ability, I should provide them with a stage to show themselves."

"I believe that with their strength, they will definitely shine brightly on the stage."

Wan Ting nodded, which was considered an approval of Nie Wei's answer. At the same time, she also thought of the title of this report, and it was very appropriate to use "Ten Years of Drinking Ice, It is Hard to Cool the Blood".

Silently reciting this sentence, Wan Ting looked at Nie Wei with a hint of respect. The reason why she knew so much about the band was because she had formed a band when she was in college.

Of course, the ending was the same as most bands. On the day of graduation, after everyone had a meal, the band officially disbanded.

But the days of playing in the band were indeed the happiest time in Wan Ting's memory.

It was precisely because of this that after the station issued a notice to interview Nie Wei, she, who was usually very low-key, suddenly became much more active. She begged the leader for a long time before she got this opportunity.

"So how much do you know about the band?" Wan Ting retracted her thoughts and continued to ask with a smile.

"To be honest, I don't know much. Before I was 18 years old, my impression of rock was the kind of music that screamed on the stage with a guitar. It was the noisiest music, and it would make people uncomfortable all day long." When Nie Wei said this, he couldn't help laughing, and Wan Ting, who was sitting opposite, also laughed.

She knew that Nie Wei was talking about heavy metal style.

After chuckling twice, Nie Wei said seriously: "I know that there are many people like me at that time who know nothing about rock music."

"Later, I entered the circle and met some musicians, and then I had a deeper understanding of rock music."

"I know that the kind of rock music I didn't like before is actually just a branch of rock music, called heavy metal, and this style actually has good songs, such as Guns N' Roses' "Don't-Cry."

"In addition to heavy metal, rock music is actually divided into alternative metal, avant-garde metal, gothic metal, black metal, industrial metal, and of course the agricultural heavy metal that everyone often talks about."

"And this is just a corner of rock music. For example, we always hear some musicians call a certain band a punk band, and punk is a kind of rock music. Interested friends can go and find it and listen to it. It is absolutely different from the traditional impression of rock music. For example, the earliest Huaer was a punk band. "

"There are also blues rock, jazz rock, and some people in China are trying opera rock, and even visual rock. Of course, there is also no shortage of pop rock. Mayday and Sodagreen, which many of you love, are of this style. "

"Only when I deeply understand this music, I know that rock is very inclusive. It is not just noisy, it can also be lyrical, it can also be elegant, it is full of charm, not just one side. "

Wan Ting stared at Nie Wei in a daze, immersed in Nie Wei's explanation. In fact, the truth of this statement can be found by searching on the Internet, but when Nie Wei sorted it out and slowly spoke it out, it gave people a particularly infectious feeling, making people want to learn about rock music involuntarily.
