ALL NOVEL Chapter 91
Chapter 91 New to the list
“Double happiness is coming?”
Now it’s Lan Li’s turn to be stunned. As the party concerned, why doesn’t he know what else he did today?
Everyone on the scene raised their hands high and applauded Lan Li-celebrating Lan Li’s second role as an actor, but Lan Li was still confused when he stood on the stage.
Stanley saw Lan Li’s blankness at once, laughed loudly, and said to Neil, “Look, I told you, he must know nothing, there is no clue.”
Neil didn’t care at all, rubbing his hands excitedly, “Trust me, believe me, after you see this news, you will be as happy as we are!” Then he turned around and went to the back of the stage to find I pulled a rope and pulled it down, and a banner fell off with a “swipe”, and the huge writing on it accurately conveyed the message:
Congratulations to “Cleopatra” on the Billboard Singles Chart 100!
Lan Li’s eyes widened, her teeth snapped, almost dislocated her jaw. This…this…this is even more unbelievable than he defeated Ryan Reynolds to get the “buried alive” role. To be precise, it is a fantasy. Even if Lan Li was asked to guess a hundred times, he would not associate surprises with the billboard singles chart!
“Look, I told you!” Neil shouted loudly, his face full of uncontrollable excitement, “I told you!” Then he rushed over and gave Lan Li a big hug. , “Happened, this is really happening! Can you believe it? The latest bulletin board singles chart just announced this morning,’Cleopatra’ really made the list!”
Only not long ago, “Cleopatra” relied on the popularity of the “Pacific War” to make it into the iTunes instant download rankings. Lan Li felt that this was incredible enough. At the time, he thought it was just a flash in the pan and was totally unconcerned . However, the development of the matter went beyond Lan Li’s expectation.
Three weeks ago, in a special report in the “Mixer” magazine, the song “Cleopatra” was highly recommended, and the popularity of this song was once again brought to a different level in an unexpected way. the height of.
“Mixer” is an independent professional magazine in the North American music industry. Founded in 1999, it has a lively style, sharp language, and humorous title. It quickly became a best-selling magazine. Its professional attitude and music inventory became its biggest selling point. It has grown rapidly in just five years, surpassing the “rotation” and “atmosphere” of the other two independent music magazines in the industry. It once threatened the status of the industry’s top magazine “Rolling Stone” and forced the latter to try new styles.
In 2005, “Mixer” was selected as the best journal of the year in the United States.
However, in recent years, the powerful impact of the Internet has begun to challenge the dominance of traditional paper media. Many magazines have encountered bottlenecks in their operations, including “mixers”. After repeated attempts to reform and innovate, they have failed. , In April last year, “Mixer” announced the official suspension of publication-it just stopped the publication of paper magazines, but the online version continued to be released.
Although the paper magazine has become history, the online version of “Mixer” has still received enthusiastic pursuit, especially among the younger generation of readers. Relying on the timeliness of Facebook, Twitter and the Internet, the influence of the “Mixer” has not decreased but increased, and the authority is beyond doubt. Many people are willing to dig out their favorite music from the recommended music list of the “Mixer” Independent musicians.
In the first week of May, the professional music critic Clyde-Coughlin of The Mixer wrote a special music review on folk songs.
The first half of the article mentioned the bad situation of folk songs in the United States. Even among independent singers, folk singers have almost disappeared. The areas where folk songs are really developed are still in the United Kingdom and Ireland, and there are a number of outstanding people every year. Music and creator.
Clyde believes that the real reason for this situation lies in the lack of background in American music. Folk ballads are a form of music that requires profound literary background and deep thinking ability. Since Bob Dylan, it has been in nearly two decades. , There is no commendable ballad creator in the American music circle. Especially under the strong offensive of commercial interests, music has also begun to industrialize like movies, gradually losing its own characteristics and falling into a quagmire that cannot extricate itself.
It’s as if Hollywood is losing its artistry and becoming a paradise for commercial films; North American music is also embarking on this path of no return, not only folk songs, but even pop, hip-hop, electronic and other music genres.
In the second half of the article, Clyde recommended some noteworthy folk singers.
The first to bear the brunt is the train band. The song “Hey, Girl of Life” should strictly be classified into alternative rock, but the song combines folk, soul, rock and other different styles, forming a unique temperament belonging to the train band. Won a full house of applause. This single did not attract any attention at the beginning of its release, but with the spread of word of mouth, it entered the public eye step by step, and finally achieved incredible results——
At the time of publication of this article, “Hey, Girl of Life” has been among the top ten on the Billboard Singles Chart. This is the first song in ten years since Elton-John. The ballad singles with such achievements drew a cry of exclamation and it was also the motivation for Clyde to write this article.
In addition, singers such as Gotye, Iron&Wine, Jack-Johnson, The-Weepies, Mumford&Sons, etc. also Entered Clyde’s sight.
Among them, the name of Lan Li-Hall is also among them.
“This is a mysterious guy. I can hardly find any relevant information. I have only composed one single so far. It is not so low-key and the missing person. But with this single, this newcomer is enough. Attract everyone’s attention.
’Cleopatra’ is a cheerful and sad single. The poetry and connotation between the lines is heartbreakingly beautiful, and it reminds people of the moving music. The lyrics followed by Cleopatra, the most famous tragic woman in history, telling a story about women, about love, and about freedom. The brisk music and bitter sorrow burst out under the moving interpretation. The indescribable charm makes people unable to extricate themselves.
’ The only gift God gave me was a life and a divorce, but I read the script and the costume was just right, so I will play my role well. ’
Life is like a play. Everyone is just an actor on the stage, but they can’t help themselves. They can only follow God’s script and perform like a marionette. There is no freedom, no life, and no soul. The poetic and graceful vocabulary touches the softness of the hearts of every listener, sadness is hazy in the eyes, and turbulent reflections follow, which reminds people of Bob Dylan.
Lan Li-Hall, his future is worth looking forward to. ”
A brief music review, but not stingy with words of praise, you can see the meaning of Clyde’s admiration.
After the publication of this article, it undoubtedly aroused extensive discussion again. Whether it was a hot discussion about folk songs or a concern about recommended singers, there was a round of crazy discussions on the Internet, and Lanly was naturally paying attention to the focus. Among.
At the beginning, people did not associate the singer Lan Li with the actor Lan Li. After all, too many new people appeared in the entertainment industry every year.

Times!
When the “Pacific War” was broadcasted , the video attracted a lot of firepower, but objectively speaking, this is just a set of miniseries broadcast on cable TV stations. After all, the influence is limited. The real test will be After entering the video tape market, the current audience base is still relatively weak. One of the 100 can search for Lanli because of the role of Eugene Sledgehammer Sledge. This is already very rare, and it is placed on the Internet. In the click rate calculated in 100 million, the click rate of 2 million “Cleopatra” is really nothing.
This time, the powerful influence of “Mixer” on the Internet has actually emerged. “Cleopatra” even ranks among the most popular videos of the week, attracting countless people with 20 million click-through rates. Now the daily new click-through rate has exceeded 500,000, and the upward momentum has not diminished. , Is still strengthening. Even the number of likes has exceeded one hundred thousand.
Unexpectedly, the popularity of “Cleopatra” caused netizens to become interested in the singer Lan Li, and began to search for his information, and then the Google link attracted netizens to the “Pacific War”. Related pages, therefore, attracted a wave of heated discussions for the episode. The Yahoo community’s posts have become lively again.
This is a result that Clyde did not expect before writing the music review.
