Chapter 36 Reunion
Not to mention the different cultures, different understandings of music, and different music styles in Europe and the United States, it is difficult for Zhou Lunfangshan's music to gain recognition in Japan. At that time, Zhou Lun released a selected album in Japan, each of which was a work that was worshiped and praised by the predecessors of time and space, but the response in Japan was very average. why? Because some of Zhou Lun Fangshan’s little tricks and music creation style in these works have no sense of novelty or curiosity in the Japanese market, because they are played badly by others.
On the contrary, K-pop in South Korea is very popular in the Japanese market. Because South Korean music is a mature, original and standard industrial product, you can feel the same and similar styles of these music as soon as you listen to them, as if they come off the same production line. But it has the unique characteristics and strong style of South Korean music.
Therefore, whether it is BoA, Girls' Generation or Kara, boy and girl groups from South Korea will develop the Japanese market one after another, and even specialize in the Japanese market. This is because their music style can be accepted by the Japanese audience, while Chinese music is difficult to gain popularity in the Japanese market. Popularity.
Around 2004, a Chinese band, Twelve Women's Band, was very popular in Japan and achieved impressive results. However, although the women's band played traditional Chinese instruments, they performed only a few traditional music pieces. In addition, there are more re-arranged Japanese music. The lack of original works of their own was the main reason why the Chinese women's band was short-lived.
The music of Southern Korea not only conquered Japan, but also the year before Xia Haoyang traveled through time, in 2022, the girl group blackpink finally made K-pop music of Southern Korea popular in America.
From the development of pop music in South Korea in the 50s to 2022 in the new century, it took 70 years for its mature pop music to reach Europe and the United States. This is such a difficult and tortuous process. I didn’t know it before 2000, but after 2000, South Korea experienced a series of popular Asian idols such as Lee Jung Hyun, BoA, Wonder Girls, Girls’ Generation, etc. who entered America and failed, which led to the success of blackpink today.
It seems to be an accident of the blackpink team, but it is the inevitable result that South Korea's unique K-pop music has been continuously exported to Europe and the United States for seventy years and has finally come to fruition. If Chinese music wants to conquer America, it must at least rely on existing works. It is difficult to do so with existing music. But it is inevitable for Chinese music that is on the right path to go global, Xia Haoyang firmly believes that!
The hot searches in the past few days have been Yancheng TV's "I Am a Creator". I don't know what others think of it, but Xia Haoyang doesn't feel it anyway. For Xia Haoyang, he really doesn't care too much about making money and becoming famous. He just wants to recreate the Tara in his heart and let their music appear in this world. It doesn't matter even if no one likes him. According to other time-travel novels, Xia Haoyang's mentality at this time is equivalent to the hero's mentality at the finale of other people's novels. He should retire after becoming famous.
Xia Haoyang had never thought about retiring. He just wrote songs and lost weight. If Wang Qing could accept that he would live like this, it would be great.
The small goal of million and allowing Chinese music to conquer Japan and America are not among Xia Haoyang's considerations. He doesn't even care whether k-pop can really become popular in the current time and space. Therefore, he will not do anything to please fans like other male protagonists in time-travel novels, such as donating money to the Red Cross. The family members who came back from time travel and don’t care much about this body would care about the praise of fans? Care about promoting the development of pop music in this parallel time and space? Anyway, if you don't break the law and don't create burdens for China, it's your own contribution.
Today is another class day. Xia Haoyang, who looks like he has seen through the world, is sitting at the back of the classroom like an old monk in meditation. Recently, he is quite interested in this introduction to screenwriting class. Professor Xia Haoyang's feeling of spring breeze made him feel that the screenwriting class was quite fun.
As the saying goes, there is a lot of right and wrong in the bustling world, but only fools can get drunk in the world of human beings. Xia Haoyang, who seems to be indifferent to everything, is actually slowly and eventually falling into the world of right and wrong.
After today's class, another large crowd of people surrounded Xia Haoyang. The captain of the football team who exchanged WeChat IDs with him last time spoke: "Classmate, there is a game at 4 o'clock today, buddy, you have to come. Our department is If we are weak, if one person is missing, the loss will be ugly.”
"There's a game today, okay." Xia Haoyang thought about whether there was anything wrong, but of course there was nothing.
The captain of the football team patted his chest with a relaxed expression.
It was now 11 o'clock at noon. Since he had to play football at four o'clock in the afternoon, Xia Haoyang was too lazy to leave. He had some lunch in the cafeteria and wandered around the campus. There was a drama appreciation class at 2 o'clock in the afternoon. Xia Haoyang didn't originally plan to attend it, but since he had nothing to do, he planned to just hang out until 2 o'clock to attend the class, and then go to the stadium to play football after class at :.
Xia Haoyang was wandering around the campus aimlessly. Here he touched an ancient tree that was a hundred or two hundred years old, and there he looked at an old-fashioned tube building from seventy or eighty years ago. It was a casual walk to pass the time, but he never thought that he would end up there. Girls dormitory building.
Xia Haoyang sneered. Back then, Fatty Xia had played guitar here for many nights, causing quite a stir. Of course, it was more of a mockery. Xia Haoyang himself had ridiculed the former Fatty Xia for being stupid and blind countless times in his heart. Turn around and plan to leave here and go somewhere else.
"Xia Haoyang?" A clear female voice came from behind, and the voice was still very familiar.
Turning around, what appeared in front of him was a woman wearing a loose down jacket that could not hide her graceful figure. Xia Haoyang smiled helplessly, "Hi, Tang Wanqi, long time no see."
"Why did you appear here?" Tang Wanqi stood there, a little surprised and a little nervous about Xia Haoyang's appearance.
"If I said I was taking classes at Yan Ying now, maybe you wouldn't believe it. As for walking here? It's just a wandering, nothing more." An explanation was still necessary, and Xia Haoyang didn't expect to see Fatty Xia's dream goddess.
"Are you coming to Yanying to take classes? Are you going to teach lyrics or music?" Tang Wanqi knew the details of Xia Haoyang and knew that he now had his own music studio and was very popular in the industry. Of course, it is also very popular on the Internet. Some time ago, it was ridiculed by various groups of netizens. A girl will reject someone she doesn't like, but that doesn't prevent her from getting to know the person who pursued her after the rejection.
"Haha, I'm here to study. I'm currently studying the introduction to screenwriting in Professor Xie Songwei's class."
"That's it. That's a bit surprising. I heard that you are quite popular now and the songs you write are also very good." Tang Wanqi's expression was a little unnatural, and she stroked her hair with her right hand and put it behind her ear.
"That's it. How about you, how are you doing recently?" Xia Haoyang was very calm and looked at the other party with clear eyes.
"I'm okay. The Haidian Repertory Theater is currently preparing for a play, and I'm the second female lead." Tang Wanqi, who was a little embarrassed by Xia Haoyang's eyes, lowered her head, and her cheeks seemed to be slightly hot.
"The drama is pretty good, come on, I have classes in the afternoon and I'll leave first before contacting you." Seeing that the other party was a little embarrassed, Xia Haoyang took the initiative to leave.
Tang Wanqi, who was standing there, looked at Xia Haoyang leaving, feeling something unusual in her mind. The person in front of her once pursued her crazily, but at that time, she only felt that this person was annoying and the things he did made her feel embarrassed. But then I recalled what he did with a hint of sweetness, and later I deliberately tried to get to know him. She discovered that he was actually very talented, and she liked the lyrics and music he wrote. Now he has established a firm foothold in the entertainment industry, but she was not as good in the art troupe as she said.
Maybe she could have tried it with him, Tang Wanqi sighed.
