【dream5】For the first album, Jiang Ye also considered using other works.

But it's either too niche or not suitable for the form of a band.

In the end, he chose Mayday's song just like the previous two songs. In addition to ensuring the unity of style, he also continued the original intention of the "Small Town Maker" incident.

More importantly, in the past life, apart from Beyond, which has long since retired, the number one Chinese band was none other than Mayday.

Although they have been criticized and slandered for a long time, and some people always attack Mayday as not being a rock band, this still cannot stop thousands of music fans from loving them.

Good work, it speaks for itself.

When they first debuted, Mayday was predicted by Li Zongsheng to be the most successful band in the Chinese music scene, and they have proven this with classic works one after another and more than 20 years of actual results.

Coupled with the age of the other four members of [dream5], their suitable routes, and the acceptance of the company and the market, these songs are undoubtedly the most correct choice at this stage.

The facts turned out exactly as Jiang Ye expected.

【dream5】The first mini-album has received an overwhelming response from the market due to its excellent quality, and fans’ enthusiasm is beyond ordinary.

It proves that classics will be welcomed wherever they are.

Some attentive fans even used an eight-fold lens to find out where their album promotional photos were taken and made a pilgrimage to check in.

Breezey grassy hills, nine photos with the lyrics of "Content" suddenly became the rules for getting likes in the circle of friends.

The best kindness is like water, and gentleness is a power that cannot be underestimated.

"Content" was able to break into the top three of the new song chart within five days. Among the many driving forces, there was only one person who Jiang Ye, Peng Yuan, and Lin Sen did not expect.

On June 24, academic music critic Fu Yanxiu, who is famous for "Teacher Fu is so strict", expressed his approval of [dream5] on his personal Weibo.

——"In the whirlpool of public opinion, this song "Contentment" once again demonstrates Jiang Ye's unique creative skills.

The use of piano and string music seems to hold back tears. The picture painted and the emotional outlook conveyed by the whole song are all about the cherishment of simple things and the attachment to simple time.

Keeping the purity and returning to the music itself will make the work more powerful, not bad!"

Want to know who Fu Yanxiu is?

Born in a prestigious music school, his twenty-year career has won multiple "Best Arranger" and "Best Producer" awards; he has successfully supervised the production of many classic records by kings and queens, and is well-known in the circle.

In recent years, Fu Yanxiu has been a mentor for one or two music programs. His wonderful speeches are decent and not vulgar, and he has attracted countless fans.

He himself has become a refreshing figure among professional music critics because of his orthodox and elegant academic image.

Music directors of large companies such as Peng Yuan have to politely and respectfully address him as "senior" when they meet.

With Fu Yanxiu's endorsement, not to mention how many passers-by have become fans, it is also equivalent to directly locking a seat for "Contentment" on the more valuable hot song list.

"I was originally indifferent to [Dream5]. I thought their songs were all fast-paced and noisy. However, Mr. Fu's analysis successfully helped me. After listening to "Contentment", I really felt like I calmed down."

"Recommended by Teacher Fu, it must be a high-quality song. When I listen to music, it doesn't matter what singer or music type, as long as it sounds good. I give "Contentment" an 8 points."

"Double Chef is ecstatic! Teacher Fu recommended [dream5]! Dream of Jiang Ye and Teacher Fu collaborating, both male idols are my favorites, what if it comes true!"

…

However, this harmony was broken by an extremely discordant voice.

Music critic Hu Hongsheng, the "cold knife" who frequently creates disputes and triggers public scuffles with his vicious tongue, publicly provoked Fu Yanxiu and reduced [dream5] to nothing.

——"No matter how you package fake rock music, it won't become real. [dream5] It's just a few hollow-core pop idols bluffing, how can you talk about their creative skills?

People who love bands are not deaf, and people who understand music are not deaf. There are always people who are awake.

There is a threshold for music appreciation, and there are high and low levels of music aesthetics, but some ignorant and anti-intellectual people are unwilling to admit it.

But as a professional, Mr. Fu, a so-called [Qing Dynasty] music critic highly respected by the public, has he also begun to bow to traffic and spend money without conscience in order to please the public?

What a sad and flattering gesture!"

In an instant, Hu Hongsheng occupied three entries on this blog.

[Hu Hongsheng shouts to Qingliu music critic Fu Yanxiu]

[Hu Hongsheng severely criticizes [dream5] as having a hollow core]

[Hu Hongsheng quarrels from afar, calling out producer Fu Yanxiu for his bad money]

Two of the topics on the hot search list have over 100 million views and over 10,000 comments.

Except for some people with ulterior motives, the Internet has almost unanimously refuted Hu Hongsheng's bizarre remarks.

"I don't understand it, but I'm shocked. A music reviewer is just here to show off his superiority, and then he confuses right and wrong and bites someone else's money? Hugou is completely shameless."

"Every time Hu Gou takes advantage of the popularity, he breaks the bottom line and refreshes people's understanding of him. Gou jumped over the wall and shouted to Mr. Fu. If anyone says anything to you, I will lose!"

"The term "music critic" has been ruined in the hands of a loser. A person who is narrow-minded, relies on criticizing people, and makes pretentious remarks to taste the sweetness of traffic and waste money. Isn't he just a loser?"

"Music critics should be the bridge between creators and listeners, helping music fans better understand the inner meaning of a work.

There may be a threshold for music appreciation, but there is no threshold for gaining pleasure from music.

There is really no need for music critics like Hu Hongsheng who think they are at the pinnacle of taste and can neither give pertinent professional advice nor provide positive guidance."

…

Jiang Ye and the others were also paying attention to the development of the matter.

On the morning of June 25, five people were waiting for a meeting in the company, but Lin Sen and Peng Yuan had not arrived yet.

"How many variety shows have you been on to make me crazy like this? You call yourself a musician, but you know nothing! If you don't scold him, I think you don't understand what it means to cherish feathers!" Yao Xiao was typing, and couldn't help but think.

We have to face Hu Hongsheng face to face in Weibo.

Jiang Ye pressed Yao Xiao's phone, and Yun Danfeng said lightly: "Beng ignore him, the price will drop."

People like Hu Hongsheng were not uncommon in Jiangye in his previous life.

It’s not that Hu Hongsheng doesn’t understand. After all, he has released songs before and done corporate promotion planning for major labels. He just doesn’t want to understand, or he understands too well.

Know how to market yourself, use venomous tongues to create topics, and gain traffic in exchange for profits.

He was invited to several variety shows in a row, doesn’t it show that Hu Hongsheng is very good at planning.

Why not use a cheap and controversial "musician"? What the program team wants is for him to dance in front of the public, and this is his only value.

Gu Chuan nodded slightly from the side: "That person is always trolling. He attacks the contestants personally on the show. He also likes to name names on the Internet. He just picks up on anyone who is popular. There is no bottom line.

The more you scold him, the more energetic you become, which only suits his wishes."

Yao Xiao was so angry that she leaned back on the sofa and threw her phone aside: "Forget it! Out of sight, out of mind."

Wang Zihao curled his lips and stopped talking.

He was young and energetic, and had originally planned to follow Yao Xiao to fight back against the enemy, but now he had to stop.

Ever since the nightclub incident, he has been keeping a low profile recently.

After all, it involved tens of thousands of yuan in losses for his teammates, especially Jiang Ye, who spent hundreds of thousands. Although it was nominally a donation, it was a financial loss for everyone.

At this time, how could he still have the confidence to make such a fuss?

Seeing that several people were quiet, Gao Xin, who was about to say something to stop them, secretly rejoiced.

He was reluctant to make donations before.

Among the five people in [dream5], Gao Xin is the one with the least presence. But at the last music festival, Jiang Ye deliberately let him perform a solo guitar show. The response was very good, and his popularity continued to soar.

It's a sensitive period for releasing an album recently, and seeing Yao Xiao going to Weibo to stir up trouble again, Gao Xin wanted to beat him to death on the spot.

The sales of the new album are so explosive, why can't we stop for a while? If something happens again, all you will lose is your own money!

But he knew very well that Yao Xiao and Jiang Ye had the strongest relationship, and he wanted to scold them, but he was also very worried about this relationship.

Now Jiang Ye took the lead and held Yao Xiao down. He couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief and immediately echoed: "Jiang Ye is right, that idiot, if you say anything to him, you will look down on him. Teacher Fu didn't respond either, Hu Gou

Not worthy at all.”

After a while, Lin Sen and Peng Yuan returned to the office from Ding Shaokun and arranged the next few book signings.

In addition to the "youth inspirational" theme, all live performances are based on the principle of "music first, fans first" as a promotional concept to bring closer the interaction between [dream5] and fans.

Speaking of the controversy among online music critics.

Lin Sen didn't care and said with disdain: "Don't worry about cats and dogs, just think of it as free publicity. The album sold out, and he is slapped in the face based on his strength. What does it matter to him, Hu Hongsheng."

"Ignore him. He is both a fool and a fool. He is worse than Guo Wei and his gang who play underground." Peng Yuan snorted with a look of disdain on his face.

In the eyes of professionals like Peng Yuan, who truly rely on their musical ability to make a living, Hu Hongsheng's half-assedness is like a clown.

It's obvious that he's just here to get some heat, so you'd be stupid to take him seriously.

Tianyou Company decided to take a cold approach, but several parties involved did not respond. Hu Hongsheng repeatedly tried to make trouble, but to no avail, and finally stopped making trouble.

On the contrary, the melon-eating netizens found it boring and missed watching a big show.

But as soon as the heat of this matter subsided, it was quickly drawn back into focus—

On June 27, [dream5]'s first album "Poetry of Post-Adolescence" was released for one week, with sales exceeding one million and officially listed as a platinum album.

As soon as this news came out, it caused a sensation in the entire entertainment industry.

Platinum in the first week! The record market has not received such a blockbuster for a long time.
