Qian Kuan was one of the top lyrickists in Xia country.
As a well-known big name in the industry, Qian Kuan's biggest interest was to listen to new songs in the industry and find inspiration from them.
When he first heard " opera 2 ", he started to pay attention to Bai Mu.
Perhaps the others might not have known about it before, but he had long known that Bai Mu had composed the lyrics and music for 'South Mountain'.
At that time, he had already understood Bai Mu. However, Bai Mu did not release any new songs for a few years, so he thought that " South Mountain South " was just an accidental inspiration for Bai Mu, so he gradually stopped paying attention to it.
However, when Bai Mu participated in I Am a Singer and became famous with " opera 2," he finally had to take Bai Mu seriously.
That was because a classic song might be a coincidence, but two classics were definitely true talent.
Therefore, when I Am a Singer's sixth episode was broadcast, he had already waited in front of the television to watch it.
When he heard Bai Mu sing 'When You're Old,' he was instantly struck!
Those words were clearly very simple, but when put together, they were filled with the warmth of time, causing him to be immersed in it in an instant.
After Bai Mu finished singing the song, Qian Kuan came back to his senses from that special emotion. He was filled with emotions.
Qian Kuan sat in front of his computer and composed himself. He then posted a post on his personal Weibo:
"I've been away from home for more than 20 years since I went to Jinling to study alone. I only get to spend a few days with my family during the New Year.”
"I haven't had the time to enjoy the time with my family. The date on the return ticket always comes unknowingly.”
"One year, when I was about to leave for Beijing alone, I chatted with my mother for a while. I didn't dare to look at my mother's face. Her gradually aging face seemed to be telling me something.”
"After listening to the song 'When You're Old,' I finally understand the feeling of not daring, not wanting, and not being able to. Even if we're very capable, what can we do in the face of time?”
"I can only thank and cherish it."
"In the past, I had always scoffed at the matter of being old, but when I really felt it, it felt so real.”
"Those who thought that there would always be endless time that they could never go back could only start to cherish the time that we had forgotten.”
After a moment of silence, Qian Kuan continued to write,"
"In the past, my mother always told me how to plan for myself in the new year. Whether it was work or everything in the future, I always had to be confident and do everything well.”
"She told me how much money I should save next year, but in fact, we will understand this when we grow up. We will no longer be so ignorant and squander.”
"We're always trying to be good children, just to let our parents and ourselves live a good life. Then, when we're old, we sigh that our life has been good.”
" Now, my mother has learned how to square dance. When it rains or during holidays, my father will turn on the music system and play the songs on his phone.”
"Even if I don't like these songs anymore, I won't say anything more when I see this scene.”
"When they are old, we will be satisfied if they still have this kind of love that no one can match.”
"When you are old and your hair is white, I see wrinkles crawling all over your face. My heart is also praying for time to pass slowly, waiting for those of us who are a little slower.”
"When I'm old and my eyes droop, I really hope I won't forget the warm times when you're old.”
After he finished writing, Qian Kuan rubbed his eyes and let out a long sigh.
……
"When You're Old" was really popular, even more popular than "opera 2" and brought even greater response.
Even Bai Mu himself had not thought of this.
He had chosen this song because he felt that it was quite suitable. He suddenly wanted to sing this song.
However, after Bai Mu finished singing, he realized that the response it brought was too great.
From the top lyricist and composer circles in the country to the most authoritative newspaper in China, Everyone, everyone praised this song.
It could be said that in one night,"When You're Old" became popular throughout the entire country.
It was so popular that Penguin Music could not sit still. They sent someone to contact Bai Mu that day, wanting to get the rights to 'When You're Old.'
After some negotiations, Bai Mu authorized it to Penguin Music, but the split of the digital single became 65% to 35%.
In other words, Penguin Music was purely working for Bai Mu. They didn't even need to pay a single cent to help with the promotion.
Of course, there was no need to wake up early if there was no profit. Penguin Music's actions also brought huge traffic to it.
According to statistics, just based on the song "When You're Old", Penguin Music had more than 300,000 members!
This incident even alerted the CEO of Penguin Music, so much so that he personally ordered to build a good relationship with Bai Mu. In the future, whenever Bai Mu released a new song, the company would immediately evaluate it.
If it was a classic song, then he had to get it no matter what. If the song was average, then he had to take the initiative to bid. After all, it was better to send charcoal in the snow than to add icing on the cake.
In other words, Bai Mu had become a hot potato in the eyes of Penguin Music.
The more Penguin Music benefited from 'When You're Old,' the more Ku Mao, its rival, suffered.
The president of Cool Cat couldn't help but curse during the company's high-level meeting, accusing his subordinates of wasting a good opportunity.
Previously, Cool Cat was the first to contact Bai Mu, but in the end, Bai Mu was won over by Penguin Music. As a result, a small portion of Cool Cat's membership was split.
Although the losses weren't that great at the moment, what about in the future?
Just from Bai Mu's words, he could tell that he would definitely sing his own songs in the future.
If every song that followed was a masterpiece and Bai Mu chose to work with Penguin Music, then it would definitely be a blow to Cool Cat.
In the end, in order to ease the relationship with Bai Mu, Huang Wen, who was in charge of contacting Bai Mu, was immediately sidelined and demoted.
Although he was not at fault, there was no other way. The company's higher-ups needed a scapegoat, and Huang Wen was undoubtedly the best candidate to take the blame.
After dealing with Huang Wen, Cool Cat immediately contacted Bai Mu and put in a good word for him. Then, he discussed with Bai Mu about working together in the future.
Bai Mu certainly wouldn't refuse to have another choice and partner, so the two sides had a good chat.
