Edit this section to summarize the impressions

His music is a world of its own, but it is always coincidentally connected with this era, attracting more and more people. The attention of many young people. He has consistently ranked among the top ten in the singer rankings of portals such as Baidu and Tencent; his works are the best-selling champion in China Mobile's ring tones list; just a few of his works can accumulate over 100 million listens; his "Gray" Works such as "Avatar" and "Admiration" are popular bibles for young people, so much so that they still dominate the rankings one year after they were published; his personal forum "Vaecn" has 500,000 die-hard members as of now; his Tieba and Weibo The Internet camp has always been popular; his lyrics and music works are unique in his grasp of the lyrics perspective, and he is known as a music geek. When you call your boyfriend/girlfriend and hear the other person's ringtone, when you turn on the TV and hear the ad song that hits your ears, when you turn on the computer to play a random list of popular songs...you have already quietly met him in your life. Passed. Many people know Xu Song because of his hit lyrics. Sometimes they are full of a touch of hurt, and sometimes the flowing emotions can hit the softest point in your heart. But he hides behind the words and remains calm. Reading "Half a City of Smoke and Sand" or "In Imagination"..., you will feel that he is closer to a literati than an artist. Some media ridiculed him as "the best singer among writers, the best writer among singers, and the most handsome among music producers - but he is neither the best writer nor the best singer. Not the best music producer." But thinking about it conversely, for such an all-round young man, music and literature run through his blood, he does not need to be a perfect writer, a perfect singer, a perfect music producer, or a perfect handsome guy. ——Eighty points in everything, he is already unique and difficult to surpass Xu Song. His music is in a league of its own. His unadorned philosophy of survival, imaginative thinking that transcends reality, and delicate but delicate private memories are all displayed in his works. The unique production style and texture of lyrics and music, the casual and lazy interpretation method, the iconic falsetto and transposition, the comfortable and comfortable mid-tempo Ramp; Flavor. Many people are listening to songs; many songs are listened to; many songs can be known by who sang them; but few songs can be known by who wrote them as soon as they are heard or read - only Xu Song, his The personal aura is always strong and can be recognized by one's ears. Outside of his musical works, he is surprisingly modest, polite, calm, and quiet. In front of the camera, there is not a trace of the arrogance and aloofness that are common in literary men, or the coolness or "coolness" that is common in artists. He is as gentle as a child. Maybe people with inner self-confidence are not interested in external weapons? His authenticity from the inside out and the unity of music and person give people more reasons to love him.

Detailed process of editing this paragraph

The emerging Internet era (2006-2008)

In early 2006, Xu Song was a sophomore at a medical university boys. In his spare time, out of his love for music, he used a PC and a headset to record some "musical works". Most of them were just rough, semi-finished demos: some were created casually while playing the piano, and some were covers and arrangements. , some were co-written with netizens - but after these messy and random "gadgets" were uploaded to the Internet by him under the pen name "Vae", they became extremely attractive and attracted more and more attention. Many people began to "human flesh search" this young man who was not good at singing but his works were quite innovative. In 2007 and 2008, while continuing to study, he maintained the "good habit" of composing and publishing a work every month.

Although his popularity and discussion continued to increase at a steady pace, he declined all performance invitations to ensure that his studies would not be affected. His works have become his only interaction with his fans. This approach of "leaving money without making money" also makes people see clearly that although he is young, he is by no means short-sighted. His blog is updated frequently. In addition to some lyrics and works, many witty remarks have also been compiled into "quotes" by fans and circulated spontaneously; his official website is well established, with thousands of people stationed in the forum every day - personal charm and musical charm. Mixed together, chemical reactions continue to occur. Xu Song

An achievement that has nothing to do with music is that he won the honor of "Top Ten Young Students in Anhui Province" in 2008 due to his excellent overall personal quality. In the continuous creative practice, the maturity and integrity of Xu Song's works are getting stronger and stronger, and people gradually feel his unique musical temperament that belongs only to him. His works can be labeled with the following keywords: soft, cool colors, simple, and sometimes a little rebellious. Whether it is extraordinary talent or secret efforts - in short, in the past three years, Xu Song has completed a huge transformation from an amateur player to a professional musician in terms of music. In terms of popularity, he has gradually become a first-line star in the online music industry. Many record companies came to his hometown to talk to him about signing a contract, but he refused all invitations on the grounds that he did not want to affect his studies. At that time, public opinion generally believed that Xu Song (Vae) not only inherited the grassroots nature of the first generation of Internet singers such as "Xiangxiang" and "Donglai Dongliang", but also raised the level of Internet music to a new level, to a considerable extent. It has changed people’s impression of “Internet songs = vulgar songs”. However, in 2008, no one knew how long he could remain popular, because almost all Internet celebrities before him performed for a year with just one popular song... and then were forgotten by the public. Representative works of this stage: "Funeral of Roses", "Snow on the Broken Bridge", "Chengfu", "On the Qingming Rain"

The solo musical miracle (2009-2010)

After graduating from college, Xu Song spent half a year doing something - on January 10, 2009, a record called "Custom" was born. Xu Song completed all the writing, composing, arranging, recording, mixing and other aspects of this record by himself. Even the paper type used in the lyrics book was selected by him at the printing factory. He said in the interview, "There may not be many people who have the experience and energy to participate in the entire process of creating, producing, and producing a record." This model worker in the music industry has set a precedent. He has indeed paid a lot, but he has also received support from fans. Great response. The album was sold out within a few days of pre-order on his personal website. In terms of music, this album's fresh texture, good arrangement and production methods have made people in the industry give this album good reviews. However, since there is no record company to promote and disseminate this record, most media have no way of knowing about this record, which makes it lose its "ticket" to compete with other mainstream records; it can only rely on a small number of media people to recommend it out of personal preference, and fans The spontaneous publicity of this album made the album's popularity spread. Xu Song’s appeal has forced record companies to face this question: Why can’t the artists they support with huge sums of money be promoted no matter how much they do? Record company bosses took aim at Xu Song's value. People kept approaching Xu Song to discuss cooperation and signing contracts, including many who had approached him two or three years ago. However, Xu Song's request was that he must create and produce the second album independently, and the company would only be responsible for promotion and distribution. But no one had the guts to take on the case at the time, and the signing was shelved again. He was not in a hurry and decided to fight for another year. He said at the time: "Only when you have reached a certain height and have a certain value can you have the capital to negotiate. Do you expect businessmen who are calculating and calculating to take risks to realize your musical ideals? Don’t even think about it.” On January 6, 2010, after a full year, his second album “Xunwu Enlightenment” was released. The lyrics, music, and producers are still in charge, but there are a few new names appearing on the arranger list.

In addition to further emphasizing his personal characteristics, Xu Song's production concept as a music producer also tends to be at the top of the professional spectrum. Whether it is the structural arrangement, the smoothness of mixing and recording, or the retention of touching details, it has surpassed most Most popular albums of the same type. The high degree of integration of lyrics, music, singing and production is amazing; the tendency of "rhythm music" is becoming more and more obvious, but he is not rigid about how to ensure "purity". The combination of Chinese and Western methods makes the whole album very pleasant to the ears. Works such as "Gray Head" and "Luzhou Moon" in the album have achieved great success due to word-of-mouth among netizens. The song "Gray Head" alone has almost surpassed the number of ringtone downloads of all previous works. As a music producer alone, Xu Song's first-tier standards have also been recognized by major domestic brands. After the release of "Xunwu Enlightenment", he was continuously invited by Sohu, Lenovo, and Huayi Music to create works for their flagship products/artists. , and what’s even more valuable is that it has also achieved a good reputation in art. In the past two years, Xu Song worked hard and handed over two works that were entirely created and produced by himself, and gained a large number of fans. Especially the huge influence brought by "Xunwu Revelation", I am afraid that even he himself Didn't expect that. Musically, he has also clarified his own opinions, and his style has become increasingly distinctive. Representative works of this stage: "Superfluous Explanation", "Gray Head", "Luzhou Moon", "Half City of Smoke and Sand", "Sure Makeup"

The game changed the rules for him (2011——?)

In March 2011, something happened to Xu Song in the mainland music scene: Xu Song signed a contract with Haidie Records. In response to this news, some people who did not understand the situation made up a fictional story about Xu Song based on their vague impressions of him: "He said he would never sign a contract" and then criticized based on this fiction; however, the more concerning news is that , Xu Song completed his third creative album "Socera Has No Bottom" using the independent production model of his first two albums. Although I don’t know how many rounds of games the two parties have gone through, looking at this result alone, it should be regarded as a complete success for Xu Song. Years of hard work has been recognized - there is probably no other record company that dares to produce albums entirely by the artists themselves; for records As far as the company is concerned, it is really profitable to sign Xu Song, a "newcomer". It saves a huge amount of money just to promote a newcomer, because he is really not new and he has been famous alone for a long time.
