Chapter 236 Smile.palm.new changes.

The author has something to say: Today is New Year's Eve, and we will have a New Year's Eve dinner tonight. I'm not sure if there will be a second update.

Now here's wishing everyone an early year, a happy year of the rooster!

With the complete laying of the channels, Kylin Records has less and less adopted the distribution method of limited audio sources.At most one month after the release of the album, the online music source will be released.Or the music audio-visual platform with enough face can participate in the distribution, and basically synchronize with the release of the record in the form of limited distribution.After all, according to the understanding of people in this era, only regular records represent the official works of a singer, and online music sources are the works of interest for music lovers.Including major awards and major statistical agencies, when counting singers' works, they still mainly focus on the physical works you released, and those pure audio works are just attached to your resume as auxiliary materials.

But even so, there are still some fans who will pay attention to the music download site of Kylin Records.Although the regular singers and groups of Kylin Records seldom pronounce the source works, there are still many trainees under their banner.They will cover the songs of their predecessors in the show, and some excellent works will be downloaded for a limited time in the form of rewards from Kylin Records.The proceeds from downloading will be distributed to the trainees as a bonus after deducting the cost.This reward method of fame and fortune is naturally the favorite of the trainees, and this reward method also allows Kirin Records to test the future commercial value of this temporary group.

But what happened to this "smile" group?It seems that there are no records of their appearances in the TV programs and online programs under Qilin, right?Well, even if Kirin wants to give fans a surprise, at least you should publish the information of this group on the group information page, right?As a result, there is only a red cartoon fox and a brown cartoon brown bear on the data page. What's the matter?But even so, there are still many curious fans who downloaded the song.After all, although the download price of this single is 0.99 yuan, it was explained that all proceeds will be donated to Huaxia Heart Disease Research Center.Well, let me do a good deed.The downloading fans thought so, then logged in to their Kirin account, and clicked download.With the current speed of the Internet and wireless Internet in China, the download speed of an ultra-clear MP3 is measured in seconds.Basically, the download is finished before you move the mouse after clicking.

Those who downloaded it naturally clicked play, and most of them were startled by the sound of a smile!Isn't this Li Wei and Zhou Xiao?Yes, the homonyms of their names are really smiling!So many people have asked online.Although the current Internet has strict copyright control over songs, based on the provisions of the "Implementation Regulations on Copyright Management of Internet Film and Television Works and Music Works", users upload no more than 30 seconds (or one-third of the length of the original song) and the bit rate is lower than 64K is fine.Of course, users cannot divide a song into several parts and upload it, otherwise it is considered an infringement.Someone uploaded a 30-second screenshot of the chorus of "Palm Heart" and asked, "Isn't this really Li Wei and Zhou Xiao?"

The discussion on the social media quickly spread, not to mention that it also involved two topic figures, Li Wei and Zhou Xiao.In addition to the fans of the two who went to download and listen to the song, many music critics also downloaded the song.After double identification by fans and music critics, everyone basically confirmed that "Smiling Group" is a play group composed of Li Wei and Zhou Xiao.Although the nature of the combination is a bit playful, the quality of the song "Palm" they collaborated on is still very high.Although the song is a mainstream popular love song, why do consumers in the mainstream music circle eat this set?Besides, this digital single is a fundraiser for the Huaxia National Heart Disease Research Center, and the music critics are too embarrassed to be too vicious.

But what is subtle is that Kylin Records, Li Wei and Zhou Xiao have not disclosed the official identity of the "Smile Group".Therefore, the statistical agency had no choice but to list "Smiling Group" as the singer of this song, and did not count Li Wei and Zhou Xiao under the names.But fans are sharp-eyed, and soon everyone found a red fox doll in Li Wei's exclusive nanny car, which was exactly the same as the red fox on the "Smile Group" profile page.Similarly, everyone found that the yellow brown bear was also found in a photo of Zhou Xiao's public seat in the new company.So fans asked the two one after another, what is going on with this smiling combination.As a result, neither of them responded tacitly.

Finally, a smart fan asked Li Wei on Weibo, Li Dong, as the owner of Kylin Records, you must know about the Smile Group.We also don't ask who are the members of the group, we want to know if this group is a limited group?Will you announce your disbandment after releasing this single?

Sure enough, Li Wei replied to this Weibo.Of course, the smiling group is a limited group, but it should not only release this single.Kirin Records launched this limited group to raise funds for some charities. If there are good songs and good cooperation opportunities, Smile Group will continue to launch music downloads to raise funds.Please take care of them a lot, and please support public welfare undertakings a lot.

Since "Palm" only provides paid audio downloads, there is no way to enter the statistical range of "Top 100 Singles on the Pop Music Billboard".But fortunately, "Popular Music" magazine also followed the trend and added a "music source list" in addition to the singles list and album list.

The data of the music source list comes from official channels, online music trial listening platforms and download websites, including the number of trial listening and downloading times.The entire list is divided into two parts: HIT50 and BESTSELL50. HIT50 counts all download and audition data, while BESTSELL only counts paid download data.

Although "Palm Heart" did not enter the singles chart, it performed well on the music source chart.Although "Palm" needs to be downloaded for a fee, it is basically the main download form of major music sources now. Therefore, "Palm" still stubbornly won the weekly champion positions of the two charts of HIT50 and BESTSELL in the first week of its release.

As the smart agency that pays the most attention to Kirin Entertainment, Chen Wende also downloaded and listened to "Palm" by the smiling group.After listening, he couldn't help showing a proud smile.Regardless of whether these two children chose to quit the club in the end, they are the strongest trainees he trained after all.When he formed AKids back then, he planned to copy APEX's double ACE strategy, so Chen Wende worked hard when choosing AKids members.At the same time, when the AKids group was formally formed, how many alternate members were finally rejected by Chen Wende, even Chen Wende can't remember.After finally creating the AKids group, in order not to make them too proud, Chen Wende cultivated a younger group and two official rival groups for them.

After two years of hard work, AKids has indeed become a diamond that both Chen Wende and the firm are very satisfied with.But just when the firm was planning to officially release this honed work, Li Wei unexpectedly suffered from acute and severe tonsil inflammation due to a bad cold.Surgery not only has the risk of damaging the vocal cords, but also the months-long rehabilitation and recovery period make it impossible for the firm to wait.Under the persuasion of the firm's board of directors, Chen Wende made the decision he regretted most in his life.He chose to replace Li Wei with Shi Ming, a child who joined the club for less than half a year. This not only angered Li Wei, but also caused turmoil in the entire AKids.

You must know that before AKids was formally formed, the firm had prepared for at least five years.In the end, which of the five children who could be placed in AKids was not killed out of thousands of trainees in the office?Especially Zhou Xiao's captain position and Li Wei's trump card status, it is "one will be successful and ten thousand bones will die".Although Li Wei is called a "social favorite" in the office, even seniors like APEX dote on him.But everyone knows that his favored status did not come by chance.Li Wei's voice surprised all the trainers during the entrance test, plus Li Wei's full score record in the training class later, how can such a promising trainee not be valued by the company and seniors?After waiting for Li Wei to take the stage, whether it is backup dance, singing, hosting, or performing, Li Wei's performance seems to be destined to belong to this stage.

Before forming AKids, Li Wei had the most fans among the trainees, and it was not much worse than some seniors who debuted.And when AKids was formally formed, the fans of AKids were actually comparable to several seniors who debuted for several years, and at least [-]% to [-]% of these fans were Li Wei's only fans.This is also the reason why Li Wei was hidden in the snow, and Zhou Xiao and Shi Ming encountered a large number of AKids fans boycotting after they transferred to the Shengli Youth Team and made their debut.

Although Li Wei and Zhou Xiao haven't sung together for many years, as long as they get acquainted with each other a little bit, they can sing with the cooperation of many senior groups.Although both Zhou Xiao and Li Wei's voices are clear and clear, Zhou Xiao is better at the mid-bass part.So after Li Wei's voice was joined by Zhou Xiao's voice, the singing of the two was not only brighter, but also more solid.

"Storm will have two idol dramas "Rose High School" and "The Beggar Prince" on East TV in the second half of the year, and a fashion drama "Apprentice Detective" on United TV; In addition to the two variety shows "Storm of Variety Show" and "Storm Challenge" of United Vision, we have also cooperated with ATV to launch the variety talk show "The Windy Boy Salon". At the end of the year, Storm will release their single. Currently It's being planned."

Teng Jingli reported to Chen Wendehui, "InFinite group will not only retain their "Variety Show" program on Pearl Cantonese Channel, but also develop a titled game show called "Infinity Games" on East TV. At the same time, United Vision also agreed Produced inFinite's hit sci-fi drama "Infinity Team" the year before last. In addition, the official website of the Victory Youth Group has been revised to VJ∞, and the corresponding planning is in progress."

"Well, not bad." Chen Wende nodded

.After APEX is officially released, it will be up to the alliance of Storm and inFinite to prevent the expansion of APEX.Although the Victory Youth Team was hurt this time, fortunately, the few popular members cultivated at the beginning are still there, so it may not be impossible to start again under the tilt of the company's resources.

"By the way, I remember that we once formed a more mature idol group - W□□E (The Wave Boys). The year before last, we were ordered to charge, how is it now?"

"When the Splash Boys were formed, there were nine boys. We deliberately chose the older trainees in the office to form them, and then followed the style of the Beach Boys. But then some members quit the agency, and then there was a smoking scandal. As a result, two members of the group were expelled. When the remaining six members retrained during the charging period, two members chose to debut in TV dramas, and they are no longer under the banner of W□□E. Now there are only four members in W□□E , but now his cooperation has been much higher.”

"Let the production team make two singles for them to test the waters. If the response is good, we will hold a comeback concert at the end of the year." Chen Wende instructed, "Then arrange TOP as their main backup dancer and let them go on stage to test it out. popular."
