This star’s style is wrong

As the end of July approaches, Fang Xing's new album "Refuse" is scheduled to be released on August 2.

This date is only 5 days away from the new album of Melin King Tan Zhiguan.

With the current model of the album being released online, there is only 5 days left, which is equivalent to no difference.

Because today's top singers release new albums, they release one or two songs every week. This can keep the album's popularity for a month or two.

Extending the release time will greatly help album sales.

Therefore, the release date is only 5 days away, which is actually a bump in schedule.

Due to the collision of new album schedules, Ark Culture and Songshi Records immediately set off online topics after announcing the release date of their new album "Unsatisfied".

In less than an hour, the topic of Fang Xing’s new album was trending on Weibo.

Tan Zhiguan's new album "Return of the King" was on the hot search last week, and it has fallen out of the top ten in the past few days.

But as Fang Xing's new album "Refuse" became a hot search topic, the hot search terms for Tan Zhiguan's new album immediately became popular.

The topic of the two singers releasing new albums at the same time swept the screens of major online platforms:

[It actually happened. It was only two weeks ago that there was news that Fang Xing was going to release a new album. I thought I would have to wait at least three to five months, but it didn’t even arrive within a month, so I just released it. It was a bit caught off guard. . 】

【I go! Isn't this aimed at Tan Zhiguan? I seemed to smell gunpowder. 】

[The release time of Fang Xing’s new album is a bit subtle, it’s only 5 days later than Tan Zhiguan’s. 】

[What does the album title "Refuse" mean? Who is dissatisfied? Who are you dissatisfied with? You don't mean anything, do you? 】

[As an insider, I probably know what "disobedience" means. Fang Xing only debuted for two years, which is not long or short. The company is not large, but has great potential. There are too many people who want to eat the cake of Ark Culture. They were investigated by a certain department not long ago, and they must have been suppressed. 】

[You don’t need to think about it to know that suppression is certain. How could a top ten record company let a newly emerging singer step on them and rise to the top? Vicious competition is indispensable, and the title of this album is actually very obvious. I want to use my strength to challenge capital, but I am not very optimistic about the outcome. I will either be slapped on the head or be included. 】

[This is interesting. As a melon-eater, I just want to see gods fight. 】

…

Fang Xing decided to release a new album on August 2, but this was not intentional.

In fact, when the album was almost finished, it was planned to be released in August.

Because Ark Culture urgently needs to show its strength and flex its muscles.

Even though there are more than twenty hit songs, plus "Wulin Gaiden" and "The Beginning".

Ark Culture's performance is so good, but in the eyes of capital companies such as Dingsheng Capital, it is just a company valued at 250 million.

The valuation of 250 million is actually a very embarrassing number.

The valuation is not low, but it is far from being an industry giant.

To put it more directly, a company with this kind of valuation is the fattest in the eyes of capital.

The scale is not enough to become an industry giant, and capital can be eaten up with just a little effort.

There are indeed ways to get out of this embarrassing situation of being eaten up by capital, but no matter what method, there is a prerequisite.

That is, you need to win by yourself in blacksmithing and you must show your strength.

Only if you are strong enough can you have a chance to compete with capital, otherwise you will be eaten to the bone.

There is still time for Ark culture, but not much time.

If we delay for another one or two years, if we still cannot get out of the stage of being swallowed up by capital, it will be even more difficult later.

Therefore, when Fang Xing started making the album, he planned to release the new album in the middle of the year.

Therefore, the release date of the new album is basically determined to be August.

It depends on whether it is the beginning of August or the end of August.

If you choose to release it at the end of August, you can indeed avoid the competition from Tan Zhiguan's new album.

The number of songs in Tan Zhiguan's new album has been announced, with a total of 10 songs, and the release period lasts for more than a month.

If Fang Xing chooses to release a new album at the end of August, there will be little competition with Tan Zhiguan.

If it were last year, Fang Xing might have chosen to avoid it.

But since the Dachuan Audio incident, Fang Xing's attitude began to change.

Coupled with the fact that Dingsheng Capital wanted to eat Ark Culture this time, Fang Xing had understood that there was no use in avoiding it, it would only make his opponent kick his nose in the face.

This competition is no longer just a competition between albums, there are more undercurrents behind it.

The capital behind Mailin Records is Pengcheng Capital and Dingsheng Capital.

Before, it was Pengcheng Capital that took the initiative to look for trouble.

This time, Fang Xing chose August 2nd to announce to the capital behind Mailin Records that the counterattack had begun!

That's right, this new album is a signal to fight back.

In the past, Pengcheng Capital took the initiative to challenge. Starting from this album, Fang Xing will no longer evade. If Pengcheng Capital wants to make money for Tan Zhiguan's new album, it will go head-on and fight for the sales of the new album.

…

When Ark Culture announced the release date of its new album, Mailin Records was also surprised.

Xu Shangyan initially thought that Fang Xing only broke the news two weeks ago that he was going to release a new album, so it wouldn't be so fast, and it would take two or three months to come out.

As a result, the new album was released less than a month after the news broke.

Moreover, the release date of Fang Xing's new album directly coincides with the schedule of Tan Zhiguan's new album.

When two tigers fight, one of them will be injured.

Xu Shangyan and Tan Zhiguan suddenly felt the pressure increase greatly.

As soon as he learned about the release date of Fang Xing's new album, Xu Shangyan called Chen Lipeng and asked for more publicity funds.

The King of Merlin releases a new album, and there will definitely be sufficient funds for promotion.

Other singers in the industry who dare to release albums at the same time are seeking death.

Only Fang Xing's new album made Xu Shangyan feel a little threatened.

Moreover, it was clearly Melin Records who first announced the release date of Tan Zhiguan's new album.

Logically speaking, the release date of Fang Xing's new album will be announced later, and the time can be adjusted.

However, Fang Xing still chose to hit the schedule directly.

This move made Xu Shangyan feel even worse.

Normally speaking, in the domestic music scene, who would dare to compete with the King of Music?

not a single one.

Even the kings and queens of the same genre will not coincide with the release date of Tan Zhiguan's new album.

Because competing like this will only hurt both sides.

Therefore, in Xu Shangyan's original plan, as long as the release date of Tan Zhiguan's new album was announced, the next month would belong to Mailin Records, and no one would dare to release any song during this time period.

However, Fang Xing dared.

Fang Xing chose to fight head-on.

what does that mean?

It’s hard to say who will lose and who will win, but at least one thing is certain. The date of August 2nd reveals a great sense of confidence.

Who dares to choose this date if they don’t have self-confidence?

Xu Shangyan looked through the poster and felt a great sense of oppression coming towards him.

Therefore, he immediately called Chen Lipeng and asked for additional publicity funds.

Merlin Records cannot lose this battle, so no matter how much money is added, it must win this battle.

…

It wasn't just Xu Shangyan who felt threatened.

Tan Zhiguan's feelings are clearer, because he has already experienced it once in "Singing Loudly".

Before "Singing Loudly", Tan Zhiguan had never appeared in this kind of variety show.

Because with his strength and status in the music industry, he doesn't need to make money from variety shows.

Every one of his annual concert tours is packed with houses.

His strength and fame have always been at their peak, and he doesn't need variety shows to become famous.

That time I appeared on "Sing Out Loud" was the operation of Pengcheng Capital.

And Xu Shangyan, as his producer, had already agreed, so it was hard for him to refuse.

In "Singing Loudly", Tan Zhiguan heard Fang Xing sing live, and he knew all too well the strong hard power.

Listening to it live and the edited video are completely different things.

The video edited by the producer will be more or less corrected.

However, when Tan Zhiguan listened to Fang Xing's singing live, his singing skills were as stable as Mount Tai. There was no need to modify the sound at all, and even modifying the sound would destroy the performance.

Therefore, no one knows Fang Xing's strength better than him.

On the cover poster of the "Refuse" album, the figure with his back turned to him revealed a strong sense of self-confidence.

In another head-to-head confrontation, Tan Zhiguan felt great pressure.

That night, he took the initiative to call Xu Shangyan and asked to re-record the last two songs.

The last two songs of his new album "Return of the King" are songs from a Hong Kong band.

The song itself is not bad, but the band's musical quality is average and the arrangement is unsatisfactory.

So after Mailin Records bought these two songs, they were modified, arranged and re-produced by Xu Shangyan, and the quality of the songs improved a lot.

However, since the release of the new album is so close, there is still post-production to be done.

Therefore, when Tan Zhiguan was recording, he did not pursue perfection so much and just sang to a similar level.

After all, these two songs were just a make-up.

Now it was different, now there was a formidable opponent, the pressure was on, so he decided to re-record the last two songs.

Xu Shangyan did not refuse because he also felt that the last two songs were not recorded to the best extent.

As for time, it's not an issue.

Because the new album will be released for a month, as long as the last two songs are released at the end, there will still be more than a month for post-production, which is enough time.

…

at the same time.

Ark Culture Office Building.

Everyone in the company is busy with the release of the boss's new album.

Everyone is busy without touching the ground, some are contacting promotion channels, and some are contacting program promotion.

At ten o'clock that morning, a man came to the Ark Cultural Hall.

The front desk was on the phone when he saw someone coming in. While listening to the call and recording the phone number, he asked the person who came in: "Hello, sir, who are you looking for? Do you have an appointment?"

This person came to the front desk, took a look at the "Refuse" poster placed at the front desk, and replied: "I'm looking for Fang Xing... your boss."

"Do you have a reservation?" the front desk asked again.

"Yes... I guess there is. He asked me to come to him." The man was a little hesitant.

Because of the busy schedule of Ark Culture and the popularity before the release of the new album, he felt a great sense of distance.

"When is the appointment made? Let me check for you." The front desk said, moving the mouse to find the appointment entry.

"No... I haven't made an appointment yet." The man felt more and more embarrassed.

The front desk did not find the boss's reservation on the computer.

However, she still raised her head with a smile and asked the visitor: "What is your name? I'll call you and ask."

"My name is Wang Huajun. I used to..." Wang Huajun gestured with his fingers, but swallowed the words when he reached his lips.

The front desk person felt that this person looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him before. He nodded and agreed, "Okay, Mr. Wang, please wait a moment. I'll call and ask for you."

After she finished speaking, she picked up the phone and called the president's assistant to explain the situation.

The receptionist put down the phone, smiled brighter and said, "Hello Mr. Wang, I'm sorry I didn't recognize you. An assistant will come out to pick you up later, please wait a moment."

Wang Huajun finally breathed out after hearing this answer.

Two years have passed since "Star of Tomorrow" and his limited group contract has ended.

In the past two years, the jobs he has been able to receive are basically activities such as comic exhibitions and opening ceremonies, which are so vague that no one recognizes them.

Therefore, he was embarrassed to say that he used to be Fang Xing's teammate.

The receptionist didn't recognize him before, and he felt a little uncomfortable, but after suffering for two years, he had seen too many snobbish people. A person like the receptionist of Ark Culture who kept smiling all the time was considered to have a good attitude.

…

Didn't have to wait long.

An assistant came out quickly and when he saw Wang Huajun, he immediately greeted him enthusiastically: "Hello Mr. Wang, I am Fang Xing's assistant. My boss is not in the company right now and is on the set to shoot the MV for the new album.

"Do you want to go to the set to meet your boss, or wait in the company?"

Wang Huajun was also unsure and asked, "When will he come back?"

The assistant shook his head and replied: "It's hard to say. The release date of the boss's new album has already been set, so the MV shooting is a little rushed. Sometimes it takes until midnight."

Wang Huajun had heard the news that Fang Xing was going to release a new album a few days ago, and knew that coming here at this time was indeed not the right time.

He thought about it and replied: "Then I'll go to the set. Can I just treat it as a visit to the studio?"

"Of course, then I will arrange a car for you." The assistant said and called for a car.

"Then let me buy some fruit or something." Wang Huajun thought it would be better to go visit the class and buy some fruit.

"I'll just ask the driver to buy it. If you feel you want to choose it yourself, you can ask the driver to stop at the fruit shop on the way. Drivers often do this kind of thing," the assistant said.

"That's fine." Wang Huajun felt that the assistant arranged things appropriately and felt very comfortable.

After getting in the car, he still felt a little uneasy.

three months ago.

When he was performing classical dance at a comic exhibition, he met Fang Xing and Lu Xiang'er.

At that time, the two found a place to chat.

However, at that time, his limited group contract with Chaoyin Culture had not yet ended.

So even if Fang Xing wanted to help him, he couldn't.

At that time, Fang Xing left him a message: "Come to me when the contract is over."

Now, his limited group contract has ended, and he took a week off before he mustered up the courage to come.
