Artists in the entertainment industry have never existed independently, because their development often depends on the packaging and marketing of the team behind them, otherwise no matter how hard an artist tries, it may only be "thunder, small rain", but there are also many artists who have subverted this phenomenon.
Chen Grain, perhaps she is the first person in this kind of subversion.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="39" how to define Chen Grain >? Star or singer? </h1>
In fact, the original Chen Grain is a typical Internet singer, without professional vocal training, without a special marketing team, and some are just their own personalized music styles.
Born in 1990, Chen Grain seized the development dividend of the Internet during the rising period of his career, moved his music from offline to online, and suddenly expanded a lot of influence and gained a certain popularity.
But compared to the top Internet singers such as Xu Song, Xu Liang, and Wang Sutaki at that time, Chen Rei was naturally inferior, she debuted late, young, and shallow in seniority, many people listened to her songs on the Internet just to listen to a fresh, nothing more, it is really difficult to harvest a sticky fan base.
Chen Grain's first time on the popular stage should be in 2019 as Wu Qingfeng's guest singer on the stage of the seventh season of "I Am a Singer", when the two sang a song "Look through" attracted countless attention, after all, Wu Qingfeng was the traffic bearer of that season, chen Grain naturally appeared in front of the public like a real star.
Not only that, in March of the same year, Chen Rei also participated in the network variety show "This! Is the original", together with Xiao Jingteng, Wang Jiaer formed a mentor group, and Chen Grain is the only female mentor among them, but its performance and professionalism are not inferior to xiao Jingteng, who is "old-fashioned", and Chen Grain seems to have been a star.
However, the star or the singer is the label that Chen Re resisted herself, and she doesn't want to do anything, she just wants to be herself.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="38" > I want to be cool from small to big</h1>
How is such a grain cultivated? People who are familiar with Chen Grain know that although she is like a slow-heat person, in fact, her heart is more cold.
Chen Rei has not been a well-behaved girl since she was a child, and "cool" is her pursuit.
To this end, she did not fight with boys in school, and even the male table arranged by each teacher had to be educated, the purpose of which was to make them feel that they were not weaker than any boy, but could be cooler than any boy.
Junior high school Chen Grain began to understand things, at that time she gradually discovered her own preference for music, and it was at that time when Sun Yanzi was popular, and the country was still very popular with electronic music, so she actively tried to participate in various singing competitions in the school from middle school, and the songs performed were mostly Sun Yanzi's or electronic music songs.
In college, Chen Grain's preference for music increased day by day, so she formed a band called "Dreamers" and served as the lead singer of the band, which was also an important period for the formation of Chen Grain's musical style, and the electric and psychedelic styles of many works such as "Walking Horse" and "Wonderful Ability Song" that we hear today were all fanatical to Chen Grain at that time.
Despite her love of music, Chen's university did not spend four years at a practical Shanghai University of International Business and Economics, but during these four years she continued to compose and disseminate her own music until she became a musician today, not an economist or financial expert.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="2" > I'm not an outlier, I just don't want to be out of the ordinary</h1>
Compared with others, the biggest difference between a musician like Chen Grain and others may not be the music itself, but the people themselves.
Chen Rei was quite disgusted with the feeling of being bound by various rules and regulations, so since her debut, she had never thought of signing a contract with a brokerage company or finding an agent for herself, she was an independent her.
He single-handedly took over the songwriting, created the famous songs of "Walking Horse", "Wonderful Ability Song", "Flammable and Explosive", and did not go through any marketing and publicity at all, relying solely on the circulation and singing of the music itself, he accumulated a height that many other musicians could not reach in their lifetime.
It is worth mentioning that when other fans chanted the affectionate names of idols offstage, Chen Grain called on fans to call themselves "husband", so her performance scene, male fans and female fans shouted "husband" together on stage can be described as a big spectacle, Chen Grain is so cool from small to large, even fans should be different from their own titles, but also cool enough!
Once "Good Songs of China" once asked Chen Grain to participate, wanting her to wear a long skirt and a straw hat to create a "small and fresh" personality, but Chen Grain openly stopped filming and announced that she would abandon the program recording after swallowing the rehearsal twice.
Afterwards, Chen Rei's response was: "Let the sister do something unhappy, the sister will not record."
It is such a chen grain, in recent years the popularity has continued to rise, but then also by many people criticized, saying that she is too blunt and does not understand the sophistication of human feelings, but the entertainment industry may be the need for such a person, when everyone takes the smooth world as the code of conduct, perhaps it is appropriate to break this standard, that is a kind of sobriety in the world.
