goose factory music festival have seen, right?
The scale is quite big, but look at the top 10 hot songs of the year on the list of winners, what the hell is this?
Pointing to the list of songs, in fact, most of them are familiar, but you have to listen to the song to guess the name of the song, 99% of the people are estimated to answer.
Why?
Because these songs are forced to listen to when brushing a certain sound ah, the melody is memorized, the song title, the singer pressure is not a few people know.
So the netizens are all in agreement that the Chinese music industry is really going to be finished this time.
For the current situation of the Chinese music industry, not only eat melon netizens, has always dared to say boldly speak of Yang Kun in the social network bold open wheat:
"I once said, this era in progress, but the music of at least 10 years backward, until yesterday, I suddenly found that I was wrong, said too conservative."
What does that mean?
It's a jab at the so-called hit of the year.
And this isn't the first time Yang Kun has opened up the mic, as he has previously denounced "pop music nowadays, which has gone back to the level of 15 years ago".
It's not easy to hear, but it's true.
In this year's Top100 list of China's mainland hit songs in 2021 released by a music platform, Jay Chou's songs not only dominated the top 5 of the list.
A ****100 songs, Jay Chou's accounted for 54.
What a concept, my friends.
It's no exaggeration to say that after Jay Chou's era, there were no newcomers in the Chinese music scene.
Maybe some fans don't recognize this viewpoint of Pulse, because many fans of traffic singers like to say that so-and-so is half of the Chinese music scene.
The top few on the bestseller list are also occupied by traffic.
But let's look back at the current Chinese music scene, can it really be compared to the past?
It's not an exaggeration to say it's gone back 15 years, right?
Around 2000, it was the golden age of Chinese music, and it was also the last golden age of Chinese music.
And Jay Chou, it's the dividing line between the 20th and 21st centuries.
Before Jay Chou was hot, the Chinese music scene was the world of David Tao, Jacky Cheung, A-Mei Ren Xianqi and others,
and then Jay Chou came out of nowhere with his two albums, Jay and Fantasy.
The first song on his first album, "Lovely Woman," was preceded by the sound of "wu~
It opened the era of Jay's big music, and also the youth of many people.
In the same year, Zhang Shaohan released her first solo album Over The Rainbow, which included the familiar Fables and Lost Beauty.
With this album, Zhang Shaohan not only won the 11th Global Chinese Language Chart Hong Kong and Taiwan region's most popular emerging singers award, but also won the 5th Music Chart Best Newcomer Award.
It was also in this year that she collaborated with Pan Wei Bai on "Happy Worship".
For the post-80s and post-90s, SHE is the first girl group.
Also in the same year, their "Persian Cat" became the god song of the street, everyone can hum two lines.
There was also the song "Jiangnan", which introduced many people to JJ Lin.
At that time, his songs were always played on the school recess radio, and although the lyrics were a bit strange, it didn't affect everyone's love for the song at all.
In addition to these super classic tracks, the year Jay burst onto the scene, there was also Jolin Tsai's Rewind, Fish Leong's Ningxia, Fan Weiqi's Initial Dreams, Mayday's Stubborn, Fei'er's Our Love, and so on.
The hits "Two Butterflies", "The First Snow of 2002", and "Mouse Loves Rice" are also from 04-05.
This year's songs simply fulfill the family KTV`s needs.
It's just a shame that after the most glorious year, the Chinese music scene started to go downhill.
With the rise of the talent show, artists such as Li Yuchun, Zhang Liangying, Shang Wenjie, Tan Weiwei, Zhang Jie, Xue Zhiqian, Hua Chenyu, Yuan Yawei, etc. have become the backbone of the mainland music scene.
Around 2006, Xu Song, a group of network singers, officially entered the young people's network vision.
After that, brainwashing songs like "Little Apple" and "The Most Dazzling National Wind" became popular, and Li Ronghao's "Model" briefly saved the music scene for a while.
And boy, did a certain sound come along soon after.
"Let's learn to catcall and meow together."
"You say mouth beep, I beep beep beep beep."
More and more mouthy songs began to dominate the Hot 100. It was so outrageous that at one point in time, most users chose the same song as their bgm.
Like an assembly line after a single operation, those songs were listed on the charts.
It's clear that the current music charts have lost credibility, and Zheng Jun talked about this on one of his shows.
But that doesn't mean the Chinese music scene is completely hopeless.
Musicians like Deng Ziqi, Zhou Shen, and Mao Yi aren't bad.
Just why is it that people from Jay Chou's era keep butchering the charts, and those who come after him are basically in a state of disconnection?
In addition to the fact that there are fewer and fewer all-around musicians, the segmentation of each music genre circle is getting more and more serious, and the audience for each circle is fixed, the so-called pop songs today really don't have a high degree of passability.
There is no denying that the songs on the major lists are updated very quickly, but when it comes to KTV, it seems that the ones that everyone will sing are still the songs of Jay Chou, Wang Leehom, Jolin Tsai, Sun Yen Zi, Mayday, JJ Lin, David Tao, and those others.
The popularity will fade, the classic will not be forgotten.
Perhaps that's why the songs of Zhou Dong's generation are still popular after 17 years.
Tencent announced the top 10 songs of 2021, netizens: the internal entertainment pill 2
On the evening of December 11, the third TMEA Tencent Music Entertainment Festival, which is known as "the national music entertainment event in the Chinese music world", closed at the Venetian Macao CotaiArena. The ceremony unveiled the "Top Ten Hot Songs of the Year", and short-video songs such as "Cloud and Sea", "Treading Mountains and Rivers", "White Moonlight and Vermilion Sand Mole", "Prodigal Son Gossip", and "Shepherd of the Cocoanut Sea" swept the entire list of seats. The "Top 10 Hot Songs of the Year" has quickly become the center of discussion on the Internet, and the related topic # Chinese music world # in Sina Weibo has reached a reading volume of nearly 200 million.
Music lovers, music practitioners, or the masses, have been involved in the discussion, some people are sad that the Chinese music industry is finished, and some people claimed that we should not be thicker than the present, and we should be realistic in assessing the development of the music industry at the moment. All network arguments, in the end, each has its own reasoning, and each does not accept the other's reasoning. In this case, it is worth putting aside the controversy, to short-video songs monopolize the phenomenon of the annual Hot 100 list as an opportunity to talk about the rules of the Chinese pop music industry and the audience over time, or more beneficial.
Can Hot 100 Songs Represent Chinese Music?
It's important to understand what a hot song is and how it came to be in order to know if it can represent the Chinese music scene or not. First of all, according to wikipedia, Tencent Music Entertainment Festival, is the annual music event jointly created by music platforms including QQ Music, Cool Dog Music, Cool My Music, and All K Song. The organizers introduced, tencent music entertainment festival annual awards "let more rich and diversified data and fan dialogue, in relying on tencent music entertainment group massive users and huge data base, comprehensive consideration of time dimension, list results, market value and other factors, the selection of all kinds of awards." Therefore, it can be roughly said that the "Top 10 Hottest Songs of the Year" is a list created by the organizer in accordance with the playback data of its streaming platform. In addition, works whose copyrights are not held by Tencent Music Entertainment Group are not eligible to participate in the awards. The company's website has been updated with the latest information on the latest developments in the Chinese music industry, including the latest news on the latest developments in the Chinese music industry.
It's ironic that many of these awards are influenced by human factors, but the "Top 10 Hottest Songs of the Year" is probably the fairest of them all, because it's almost exclusively about the numbers. It seems incredible, but it makes sense, and it illustrates a phenomenon that has always existed but been ignored: the "silent majority" has been seen - they have been captured by big data, and they are beginning to speak out.
Who's "producing" the hits?
While silence is not the same as non-existence, it is sometimes the same as non-existence in traditional communications. The "silent majority" is a good way to describe Chinese pop music listeners, who are more accustomed to being fed than to actively choosing songs to listen to. Before the Internet era, they would listen to almost any song that came on the market. In contrast, some music fans or practitioners choose songs in a different way, with the ability to actively search for songs that match their tastes, and to know more or less about the songwriting or production.
In previous eras, even the early Internet era, the former - the "silent majority" - did not control the direction of music-related public opinion, which was dominated by the media, music critics, and record labels, plus music awards such as the Golden Melody Awards. With the rise of digital music in formats such as mp3, the traditional recording industry has been impacted and transformed, and the rules have changed: the music market and public opinion, which was once controlled by a few, has been divided up amongst more new entrants.
During this period, the most representative phenomena are the "color ringtone" that started in 2000, the "traffic stars" around 2014, and now the short video explosion, the essence behind it is that the development of new technology allows more audiences to access music in a more convenient way. The essence behind all of these is that the development of new technology has made it possible for more audiences to access music in a more convenient way. The popularization of smartphones has made the audience of pop songs no longer limited to young people pursuing the trend, and more middle-aged and old people have joined the army of pop music appreciation, and there is even a tendency for them to come to the forefront, of which the BGM (background music) of square dances is a very good example. The rise of microblogging and other platforms allows traffic stars to have the soil to survive, and then the explosion of short-form video software such as Jitterbug, its precise algorithms with the market sinking, so that the hit song can be "viral" spread in the crowd. The demand for the product, as a cycle, related to the music practitioners in the profit-oriented premise, the music industry to the "short and fast" posture with the market and the public docking.
Anemone music, which is known as a hit maker, is the most typical example, and the winners of the annual hit song, such as Dazhi, who sang "White Moonlight and Vermilion Mole," and Wang Jingwen, who sang "Fallen," are all from this company. Through the research of the market and the analysis of big data, based on this, the anemone company made a complete assembly line for the production of hit songs. Data shows that they have a massive music library of over 560,000 songs, with nearly 10,000 unreleased demos. The company's output of hit songs accounted for 15% of the market, with a cumulative play count of over 10 billion times. This order of magnitude is difficult for traditional record labels to achieve in a short period of time.
The rules are changing, and the Chinese pop music scene is increasingly moving towards a content-based industrialization path under the short-video fire and capital amalgamation. With content and platforms dividing up most of the profits, traditional record labels are facing increasingly tough challenges, and rather than cynically saying it's over, they're facing yet another new and dramatic change.
The world of music is extraordinarily rich and diverse
"It's a big world, and I want to see it." So is the world of songs. Thanks to the convenience of the information age, more and more songs can be listened to online through streaming. For music listeners, nowadays you can actually discover more music that satisfies your tastes if you want to, even if it's a very cold song, although there's no way to listen to it online, most of the time you can get it with the help of the internet.
For the creators of music, there are also more creative directions than just the hits. For example, the band culture that was re-ignited by the "Summer of the Band" can now be felt in how the band culture that emerged in Europe and the United States in the 1960s has taken root in China, and how these bands and musicians have expanded the style of Chinese music from pop to rock, folk, jazz, and electronica, and then expanded the style of Chinese music. For example, "City Pop", which emerged in the Showa era in Japan, has been sought after by today's subculture enthusiasts for its soothing, relaxing, and lazy urban style, and has set off a wave of "steam wave" retro-style songwriting; and then again this year, whether it's Cui Jian, Dou Wei, or Xie Tianxiao, these bands and musicians have grown from pop to rock, folk, jazz, and electronica, expanding the styles of Chinese music; and then again this year, Dou Wei, Xie Tianxiao these music veterans, or such as "Mr. Turtle" "Dirty Fingers" and other up-and-comers, are still releasing a high standard of new albums; more and more creators, whether it is a graduate of the Conservatory of Music or have a hobby of music slash young people. With the help of live streaming and offline performances in the direct interaction with the audience ...... these are all things that are happening at a time when we are debating whether the Chinese music scene is finished.
Understanding the current state of the music industry and putting aside the controversy, you will find a fact: more and more people are listening to music and more and more people are starting to make music. Just open a music app, or walk into a Livehosue, and you'll find new music and new musicians, and the size of music's players and audience is growing like never before. Both an opportunity and a challenge, the future of Chinese music is like a ship sailing in the mist. Whether it is an industrial bubble or the birth of a new pattern, we have to wait for the market and the test of time. But for music creators and fans, getting out of the information cocoon and embracing the larger music world may be the best course of action right now.

The story behind his ridiculous rise to fame has once again come to the public eye.
In May, the leading Chinese music band Soda Green's lead singer, Wu Qingfeng, was involved in a copyright dispute with his former manager. The dispute over the copyright of a song that he wrote and couldn't sing himself triggered a public outcry. The company is also embroiled in such problems with Dazhang Wei, Deng Ziqi, Tian Fuzhen, and even international songstress Taylor Swift.
On July 24, the State Administration of Market Supervision (SAMS) decided to order Tencent to lift the exclusive copyright of online music and other penalties.

August Olympic month, a magical brainwashing song occupies the major platforms hot search - "ping pong ping pong world unrivaled", the song by the ping pong national team members sang collectively, and most of them are not good at singing. Coupled with the lyrics of the mouth, the tune is very rhythmic, and the players form a strong contrast, in the network fire spread.
TFBOYS, which has been on the road for eight years, canceled its concert for the first time this year, causing dissatisfaction among fans. This is the first time since the three members became a group to cancel the joint concert, even in the most serious epidemic in 2020, the joint concert was held online.

At the end of the year, a warm song called "Mohe Dance Hall" evoked memories of the public, and the simple and touching emotions touched thousands of people, making the song played 2.9 billion times on Shake Sound, and Mohe, the northernmost city in China, also came into the public's attention.
In 2021, is the Chinese music industry really "finished"?
There's no doubt that the Chinese music scene as a whole has done poorly in recent years. This is a number of music producers to the West China Metropolis Daily, cover news reporter expressed **** the same feeling. Previously, singer Yang Kun had said: Chinese music scene has regressed for ten years. Just a short time ago, he was again in the microblogging again issued comments: I suddenly realized that I said wrong, said too conservative.
It's true that in recent years it's been difficult to hear a widely sung, truly popular pop song. Yu Damiao, the founder of Dayu Culture, who is y involved in the production of current pop music, lamented to the reporter that the most impressive impression in the music circle in the whole year is probably the netizens' urging for Jay Chou's new song, from the beginning to the end of the year.
The marketization of the use of short videos has also led to a profound change in the carrier of music communication. If we look at the data, we can find that most of the hottest songs that are now played are popularized with short videos. This change has also made a lot of singers start to try to release new songs on short video platforms such as Jittery Voice and Fast Hand.
15-second and 30-second song clips are becoming popular, and people seem to have less patience to listen to a full song. "So the top ten hot songs released by Tencent, you look at the title of the song do not know what it is, netizens think it is ridiculous, but if you put the clip, most of them have heard it, it is really fire." Yu Damiao said.
Such a change brings both pros and cons. The good side is that it does increase the dissemination of the song, but also brings a positive challenge to the production of the song. But the downside is obvious: the fragmented nature of the distribution is a definite detriment to the creation of full songs with texture.
On the other hand, some musicians believe that the "internet songs" that are played and distributed so widely on the platform are not representative of the Chinese music scene, but are more like BGM (background music) for short videos, and that although these songs have a high number of hits, their quality and value cannot be evaluated at all.
Another heavier impact on the music scene, in the opinion of music professionals, may also be the influence of the fan economy. "The Chinese music scene is long gone, now there is only showbiz." It is true that Xiao Zhan's one song "Point of Light" can break the sales history of the Chinese music industry, and it is also clear that Chinese music is lacking if it is measured purely by the number of hits and sales it once had.
"To say that the Chinese music scene is finished, this is not so much, but music with quality is indeed decreasing." Yu Damiao said, but that's not entirely a bad thing. The fact that the topic has made it to the top of the Hot 100 proves that it has caused the public to reflect on it, and inevitably brings about a series of reflections from producers and singers. "I believe this is a process worth waiting for, and in the next two years, Chinese music is bound to improve."
