When Xu Song first became famous, around 2006 or 2007, he always ranked first among QQ music singers. Such a treasured singer naturally attracted the attention of various companies, and many companies approached Xu Song.
Everyone knows that signing with a management company basically means becoming the company’s money-making tool. From appearance to personality, to attending events, singing songs and doing things, artists have no say. If the company praises you, you will be popular. If the company does not praise you, you will be nothing. They may even hide you because of some conflicts. You cannot terminate the contract before the contract is up, so you can only spend a lot of your youth there. This has happened to many artists nowadays. Is this kind of thing, that's why there are so many lawsuits for breach of contract?
Xu Song never thought of taking this path from the beginning. This has a lot to do with his personality. Xu Song is low-key and reserved with a slight social phobia. He does not like to be arranged to participate. activities, coupled with a dedication and seriousness towards music. So when Tianyu found him, he made a request: he wanted to only sing his own songs, and the songs in the album would be composed and written by himself, giving him complete freedom in creation.
Isn’t this equivalent to the fact that as long as Xu Song can’t write songs, Tianyu will have no money to make? How could a profit-oriented company like Tianyu agree to his request? In fact, it was a disguised expression of disbelief in Xu Song's talent.
For nearly two years after that, searching for Xu Song’s songs anywhere only showed the four words “Internet Singer”, which meant that Xu Song was being targeted and did not recognize Xu Song’s meaning.
If Xu Song had agreed to the terms of the agency and signed with Tianyu like other artists at that time, it would have been more popular than ever. After all, Xu Song, who did not have a company operating at that time, was already widely known. .
In this way, Xu Song insisted on being himself, until Haidie approached Xu Song in 2011, and Xu Song still made a request. First: he wanted to write a song for himself. Unless he accepted, Otherwise, he will only sing his own songs; secondly: the company cannot force him to do anything he doesn't want to do.
Like Tianyu, Haidie hesitated after hearing the first one. God knows, how many artists are eager for the company to write songs for them, and ask various big guys to write lyrics and music to create hits, and all they have to do is sing That's fine, anyway, the general audience only cares about who the singer is, but Xu Song is Xu Song, and he has his own persistence.
After much hesitation, Haidie agreed. It didn’t take long for Haidie to realize that she had found a treasure. Xu Song was indeed capable. He was good at writing lyrics, composing music and singing, and his personal style was very strong. Not only that. , Xu Song can still make money for the company without taking up almost any company resources, and Xu Song keeps a low profile, so the company doesn't have to worry about his image suddenly collapsing one day.
So what you said about Haidie not praising Xu Song is a mistake. Haidie did not praise Xu Song. Xu Song did not want or need to be praised. Xu Song won it from Haidie with his strength. Having his own destiny, having his own loyal fan base, writing songs and composing as he pleases, and not having to be arranged to participate in commercial activities, he can be said to be a winner in life.
As for fame, Xu Song doesn’t care about it himself, and the company just lets him do whatever he wants, but I still have to mention that Xu Song’s fans are really powerful, and they don’t do marketing or buy traffic. Under the circumstances, every time he releases a song, the response is pretty good. Fans must be really fascinated by Xu Song's personality.
