$419: It's Really Strong
"My father doesn't write a diary, but his face is full of prose poems."
"My father doesn't have prose poems, his diary is full of dense accounts."
"My father can't write, and his hands are full of calluses."
"My father is old, but fortunately, he is not as old as in the song."
"You may only need to take a car, a high-speed train, or a plane to see your father, but I have to take a time machine."
"Although Lao Wu is not rich, he has never let Xiao Wu starve."
...
When the song stopped, lines of bullet comments filled the Blueberry TV live broadcast room.
Ordinary songs, ordinary fathers, but brought extraordinary touches and extraordinary love.
Cai Fan reached out and clicked the switch of the bullet comment. At the moment the bullet comment disappeared, a line of words appeared on the screen-dedicated to the omnipotent father in our hearts!
At this moment...
His eyes were red, and his mind seemed to be playing a movie, with scenes of the past turning over and over.
His feelings now are the same as those of everyone who has listened to this song.
"Can we win?"
If you want to give a score,
Opening song - 10 points;
Host - 9 points;
Chinese artists, special guests - 8 points;
Ending song - 10 points.
As a member of "Extreme Challenge", Cai Fan knows how high the quality of the first episode is. Although funny variety shows have a wider audience than sensational variety shows, he can't even pass the test of saying that it is better than the first episode of "Story of Time".
"Is he really only 25 years old?"
"Is he sure he is filming a variety show, not a song MV?"
"Is he really omnipotent?"
Cai Fan is the most creative of the three returning members of the first generation of Korean groups. He also studied music in college, and now he is positioned as a singer-songwriter in the entertainment industry.
Experts see the doorway, while laymen see the excitement.
The main song is quiet and pure, and the chorus is full of tension. It is precisely because he knows his business that he was so surprised after listening to the song "Prose Poems Written by My Father"!
But Cai Fan didn't know how Jiang Ge could write such a touching song with a sense of the times.
Harvesting crops;
Open-air movies;
Blue polyester shirts;
Round cookies.
Has Jiang Ge seen these things?
Cai Fan looked back at his own songs, "Who else dares to shout? No matter how powerful I am, I will be defeated", "Too few people can match me as a representative of manly rap", "I have drunk sand, swallowed wind, and a pot of empty wine has messed up my white hair"...
How can this be compared!
The same simple and straightforward words, why is there such a big difference?
In fact, Jiang Ge chose this "Prose Poem Written by My Father" for many reasons.
When he first determined the ending song of all the themes, he thought that it should not only fit the theme, but also echo the story.
There are many songs sung to fathers, and there are dozens of songs named after "father", such as those by Chopstick Brothers, Liu Hegang, and Jiangyang Zhuoma.
Since it has to echo the story.
Then,
Let's start with the stories of Huafeng artists, special guests and off-site audiences.
After having a direction, the ending songs of the eight themes of father, mother, love, friendship, dream, life, farewell and nostalgia were quickly decided. Among them, "Farewell" and "Nostalgia" were added later by Blueberry TV in order to make up eight episodes. Six episodes are too few.
"The Tao heart has been affected!"
"What should I do?"
"I wouldn't have watched it if I had known!"
Suddenly, Cai Fan's mood became chaotic.
Writing songs is like a mountain. You need to climb step by step to reach the top.
The more Jiang Ge's songs he listened to, the more problems he found in himself, which made him very frustrated. He felt that he was still at the foot of the mountain after entering the entertainment industry for so many years. There was still a long way to go and a difficult mountain to climb.
But...
No matter what, the appearance of Jiang Ge and his songs may inspire many singers and songwriters, allowing the Chinese music scene to get out of the quagmire of decline and be reborn.

Music is the spice of life. Sing a few songs when you feel comfortable, vent occasionally when you are depressed, have fun when you are with friends, and heal your mood when you are lonely and helpless.
Of course,
You can also cry in your memories.
Jiang Yong and Wu Xiuyun deeply understand the emotions sung in "Prose Poems Written by My Father". They feel an indescribable discomfort in their hearts and can't stop crying.
Zhou Lingwei's eyes are also red, and she sniffs.
Jiang Ge is lucky. He is not a cold-blooded person. This is actually a state of being a singer and songwriter. He can move others and remain calm.
"Rest."
Jiang Yong and Wu Xiuyun stood up at the same time and left the living room.
Jiang Ge opened his mouth, but didn't say a word.
At this time, the only sound in the living room was the sound of the TV.
After a while, he turned to ask Zhou Lingwei: "Do you want to sleep?"
Zhou Lingwei pouted and said: "Sleep your head."
Jiang Ge scratched his eyes helplessly. Can I blame him for this? Then he asked curiously: "Didn't you listen to the scene? Why are you crying?"
Zhou Lingwei snorted: "I don't know."
Jiang Ge smiled, put his arm around her waist, and whispered in her ear.
Zhou Lingwei leaned in his arms, listening to those corny love words, sweet and warm.
In fact...
Music is a carrier of emotions, which is transmitted to the brain through the ears, and then plucks the string in our hearts called "touching", making us cry, laugh, or make noises.
The same song will give different feelings when listened to in different moods and at different times. When it is not appropriate, the heart is as calm as water, and when it is appropriate, it is full of mixed feelings.
At the same time, the two songs "The Story of Time" and "Prose Poems Written by My Father" that were simultaneously launched on NetEase Cloud Music are topping the charts!

…
The data is quite scary, you know, it has only been on the shelves for more than ten minutes.
However,
the results of the songs released by the combination of [Mei Manlu + Jiang Ge] can be predicted long ago, so not many people are surprised.
Everyone is discussing the singing, lyrics, music and arrangement of the two songs.
And,
how can such a hot and high-traffic topic be without the presence of major news websites.
Penguin: [From the details of the new variety show "The Story of Time", the sound is the expression and transmission of love, floating to all directions with warmth and nourishing the heart. ]
NetEase: [Super tear-jerking! Jiang Ge teamed up with many stars to sing youth and fatherly love, using simple, deep, simple and beautiful lyrics and music to prove to us that sincere, deep, warm and healthy songs will always touch people's hearts! ]
Sina: [New variety show "The Story of Time" high-energy scene warning, Mei Manlu shed tears on the scene! ]
Headline: [Tonight, it was originally a ratings battle between an old and a new variety show, but unexpectedly, the Chinese music scene ushered in two big mountains! ]
UC: [Shock! This world is too crazy, not doing your job can achieve glory! ]
Baidu: [The new variety show "The Story of Time" premiered, lighting up youth and fatherly love with music, and telling the taste of life with stories! ]
…
The strong fan circle culture in the entertainment industry has led to a great impact on the ecology of that circle when traffic and idols enter any professional field.
Not to mention, the Chinese music scene, which is inherently fragile, is basically carried forward by the traffic gameplay.
The sales of Xiao Zhan's new song "Dark Spot" are as high as 25 million copies, easily surpassing the sales of serious musicians such as Xu Chenyi and Zhang Liming.
This is certainly the result of the fans' emotional outburst after a few months of silence, but in fact, people in the industry know that the songs that can really make money on the market are either OSTs or short video hot soundtracks for a long time.
And...
Many times, when a new song comes out, insiders think it is very nice and can be played, but it is often well-received but not popular. Apart from fans, few people are interested in it.
But one person's song has become an exception, achieving both word-of-mouth and sales, and even redefining the meaning of the word "traffic" in the entertainment industry.
This person is Jiang Ge. Since his birth to today, every song has been based on the purer music itself, attracting countless fans and countless praises.
"How can someone control the preferences of the audience?" Feng Yilun looked at the NetEase Cloud Music Ranking and Weibo Song Ranking, and asked a question that he couldn't figure out.
"This..." Wang Cheng didn't want to boost the morale of others and destroy his prestige, but when he opened his mouth, he didn't know how to say it.
On the one hand, the total amount of content produced in the Chinese music scene is rapidly expanding. On the other hand, the audience's screen time is fiercely competed for, their personalities are fully released, and their tastes are becoming more and more elusive.
A single work, a temporary popularity and click rate, cannot achieve sustained, long-term and stable results. Only by satisfying the needs of the audience can singers and songwriters have the opportunity to find resonance between subculture, niche culture and mass culture and popular culture, and become a general who always wins.
In other words, if you can understand the audience's preferences, it means that all the songs you release will be popular.
"With the program keeping the heat up, it's hard to reduce the popularity of these songs." Feng Yilun gritted his teeth and made a decision that he didn't want to make but had to make, saying: "The new songs can only be postponed."
Wang Cheng nodded and said: "It's right to avoid the limelight. The program has a total of eight episodes. Two months later, it happens to be May Day, and the traffic will be much higher."
Feng Yilun complained: "Just do variety shows, why sing songs!"
Wang Cheng analyzed objectively: "If they don't sing, their variety show will lose 50% of its appeal. Not to mention competing with "Extreme Challenge", even breaking the ratings of 0% will be a problem."
Feng Yilun narrowed his eyes and asked: "Do you think "Extreme Challenge" can win?"
Wang Cheng shook his head and replied: "It's hard to say. The number of people in the two satellite TV network live broadcast rooms is about the same. It depends on whose data on TV is better."
——————
"The feedback from the film, TV and music markets is not that fast, except for Django's works." This is a popular saying in the entertainment industry this year.
In the past, when a movie was released, a TV series was aired, or a song was released, the earliest we would know about its reputation and performance was the next day.
However, Jiang Ge's works, reputation and achievements were clear in almost three to five hours.
On various platforms on the Internet, whether it is popularity or topicality, "Time Story" is better than "Extreme Challenge".
The data came out the next day, as expected and not surprising.
March 7, prime time (19:30~22:00), ratings ranking.
1, Blueberry TV, "Time Story", 43%.
2, Dragon TV, "Extreme Challenge", 72%.
3, Mango TV, "Spring Flowers Will Bloom", 97%.
…
In this ratings battle between new and old variety shows, the new variety show took the lead.
"Please accept my knees!"
"Jiang Ge yyds!"
"I surrender, it's really all-round."
"The couple is even better!"
"Others are 26 years old, and they have dominated multiple industries in the entertainment industry. At the age of 26, I am still losing hair for a few lines of code!"
"This variety show is highly recommended!"
…
Hangzhou, Blueberry TV building.
"Haha!" The station director smiled and said, "It's worth giving in!"
Although the ratings gap is only 71%, as long as it reaches 0%, even 01% will become an insurmountable gap.
The director of the program marketing center said with a smile: "This is not the limit yet."
"Oh?" The station director's eyes sparkled when he heard it, and asked: "In your opinion, how high can the peak be?"
The director of the program marketing center did not speak, but made a gesture.
"Are you kidding?" The station director's eyes widened slightly, and he breathed quickly and said, "Can it break 0%?"
The director of the program marketing center was silent, as if he had doubts about the ratings he gave. After a while, he said, "I can only say that there is a chance, and it is a big chance. The key person is Jiang Ge."
The station director pondered for a moment, and seemed to understand how he came to this conclusion. He asked tentatively, "The last episode, the theme of love?"
"Yes." The director of the program marketing center nodded, and then said, "However, it needs to be operated well at that time to maximize the attention and expectations."
The station director stroked the stubble on his chin and said "hmm" to show his agreement.
So...
The two began to plan how to operate.
At this time, the Wei Ge Culture Headquarters Building in another district.
Applause and cheers were heard.
The premiere ratings of "The Story of Time" have already exceeded the highest ratings of "Sister Riding the Wind and Waves" and "Brother Overcoming Thorns".
"Pa!"
In the general manager's office, Zhou Lingwei and Chu Pianpian also clapped their hands excitedly.
"Douban has opened the score 2, and currently 121,421 people have rated it. Although it has dropped to 0, it is still the variety show second only to "National Treasure." Chu Pianpian's face was full of joy.
"Many high scores are because of you. People say that you are a very good host." Zhou Lingwei said with a smile.
"You also tease me with this." Chu Pianpian wrinkled her nose.
"Facts speak louder than words." Zhou Lingwei blinked.
Of course, the biggest contributor is Jiang.
But at this time...
He is helping Zhou Mulong to cover up for the crew of "A Chinese Ghost Story 2: The Road to the Human World" in Hengdian.
