How popular Wang Sulong is now, in fact, it is not that popular, but Wang Sulong is indeed one of the few online singers who has successfully entered the mainstream of the Chinese music scene.

As for Wang Sulong's journey from an online singer to the mainstream of the Chinese music scene, it is also related to the history of the development of Chinese music in the three places across the Taiwan Strait.

As we all know, due to historical circumstances, the development of pop music in China was much later than that in Hong Kong and Taiwan.

Mainland pop music, after the reform and opening up in 1978, Cui Jian successfully created a rock genre in mainland China because of Cui Jian's localization of Western rock music.

The 1980s was the beginning. In the 1990s, rock music in mainland China reached its peak due to the Three Great Heroes of Magic Rock, Black Panther Band, Tang Dynasty Band, Xu Wei, Zheng Jun, Lingdian Band, etc.

Since the 1990s, although there is no definition, it has been dominated by folk songs such as Gao Xiaosong, Lao Niang, Pu Shu, Li Zhi and so on.

Other than that, the only popular music in the mainland is the Spring Festival Gala, ethnic, folk songs, opera and other music and singers that appear on various party stages.

We no longer talk about the contemporaries of Hong Kong and Taiwan pop music. After 2000, Hong Kong pop music was known to have declined, but Taiwanese music at the same time not only did not.

On the contrary, there are Tao Zhe, Wang Leehom, and later Jay Chou, as well as JJ Lin, Mayday, Soda Green, etc., who pioneered and laid the foundation for Chinese R&B blues music, then Chinese rap music, and the new Chinese style. music.

At that time, Taiwanese pop music such as Jay Chou was too strong. Although the musical standards of mainland rock music, such as musician Wang Feng, and mainland folk music, such as Li Jian, are indeed good, they represent mainland pop music and are completely suppressed by Taiwanese pop music.

Wang Feng later came to Chunxiao in Rising Sun, and Li Jian appeared on "I Am a Singer" in 2015, and they became completely popular among the people. Of course, this is all a story later.

What does this have to do with Wang Sulong?

Because speaking of it, Wang Sulong was one of the musicians in the mainland who took the initiative to imitate the music genre era created by Jay Chou and other Taiwanese musicians. It was not just Wang Sulong, but also Xu Song and Xu Liang. Whether at that time or in later generations, they were known in history as the Three Giants of QQ Music.

In fact, there was one mainland musician and mainstream singer who studied Taiwan’s popular music genre at that time, and that was Hu Yanbin. Hu Yanbin is the most successful and independent musical talent with a very close musical level.

Xu Song, Wang Sulong, Xu Liang, and Boguang felt that a back string should be added. Because around 2005, the record market was already in a sluggish state, and the Internet was gradually emerging, so we adopted the online platform model, which ultimately achieved great success.

The mainland pop music of the same period in 2005 was already slightly more traditional rock and folk music. It is very popular now, but it was very weak at the time.

The most popular Chinese music at that time was Taiwanese pop music, which accounted for half of the country. Mainland pop music also includes singers like Daolang, Pang Long, Phoenix Legend, etc. who occupy the audience of the older generation.

Zheng Yuan, Liu Zhe, Huan Zi, Leng Leng, the loyal consumers of their songs are the majority of young migrant workers in urban and rural areas, or the Pearl River Delta and Yangtze River Delta, so history calls them: Love Songs of the Republic of China The four princes.

Xu Song, Wang Sulong, Xu Liang, Hou Xian and other online singers. In fact, from a consumer perspective, the audience tends to be more young students in school.

China is developing rapidly, and the music industry has undergone tremendous changes. Other musicians do not analyze it, but for Xu Song, Wang Sulong, Xu Liang, Hou Xian and others.

Xu Song’s achievements are actually the highest, but he has always been the most low-key. He occasionally releases an original album, such as "The World" in 2018. His musical level and musical literacy are not low, and he has a large number of fans. , can cause a loud roar.

It is well known that Xu Liang and Hou Xian are both in semi-retirement, or their popularity has long been reduced. The only topic left is "Although my brother is not in the world, there are still legends about them circulating in the world."

Wang Sulong became an online singer during this period, the only singer who tried to enter the mainstream of the music industry. This was due to Wang Sulong's subsequent transformation attempts.

For example, in the past two years, Wang Sulong has written many songs for film and television dramas, such as the song "The Spiritual Master Does Not Regret" from the animation "The Spiritual Master Who Painted Rivers and Lakes", and the song "The Spiritual Master Has No Regrets" from the TV series "A Little Smile Is Alluring". Film and television OST. The episode "Jianghu Tianxia" in the 2017 version of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and so on.

The current Chinese music record market is almost negligible. If a singer wants to become famous, there are only two best ways to enter the mainstream of the music industry.

One is a song from a film and television drama, and the other is a variety show.

Wang Sulong is like this. He has indeed participated in many variety shows, such as "Tucao Conference 3", "The Masked Singer Guess 3", etc., which has increased his presence and increased his fame. A lot.

In short, Wang Sulong is compared with singers who debuted later, such as Huo Zun, Hua Chenyu, Mao Buyi, etc. Maybe the participation in film and television songs is not much inferior. But compared with popular variety shows and other programs, it is still much inferior.

But Wang Sulong, as an online singer-songwriter of that era after 2005, has become one of the very few singers who have entered the mainstream from the Internet.
