One of the first singers of "Singer 2024" Wang Sulong once recommended himself to the producer Hong Xiao after the end of "Endless Sound: Family Years", but was declined. However, Hong Xiao finally came to find him, and he came regardless of his previous suspicions. Because if he gets angry, many opportunities will be gone. Young people need to adjust their mentality to fight for opportunities.
The "Singer 2024" program team once asked him why he came to participate in the show. After Wang Sulong said "Endless Sound·Family Years", he asked Hong Xiao if "Singer 2024" needs him? Do I need to leave a schedule for you? The production company of "Endless Sound·Family Years" is Mango TV and Hong Xiao Studio, and the production company of "Singer 2024" is Hong Xiao Studio. Since they are both the same producer, and as early as in "Endless Sound·Family" Before the end of "Singer 2024", "Singer 2024" has been determined to restart in the first half of this year. Taki Taki, who is interested in joining the singer, must recommend himself in order to give himself a chance.
However, Hong Xiao said at the time, "No, you do your thing first." "Family Time" ended in mid-February, which is not far away from "Singer 2024" which will be broadcast on May 10. In February and March It was almost time to confirm the guests one after another. That kind of response sounded like a tactful rejection of the other party. Maybe Wang Sulong also felt that there was no chance at that time, and then he really decided to do something else. His other things may include participating in "The Voice of Heaven Season 5", which was broadcast before "Singer 2024" and was recorded.
Faced with being invited back after being declined, the program team was curious - aren't you angry when I come back to you now? Wang Sulong said calmly, "What should I do? If I get angry, many opportunities will be gone. Young people should adjust their mentality, because opportunities must be earned by themselves." If people lack structure, they will not cooperate because of rejection in the past. , you will really miss a lot of good opportunities and can only go around in circles.
The words "You have to fight for opportunities yourself" are also related to Wang Sulong's personal growth experience. Before the theme song "Rings of the Year" for "A Thousand Bones" in 2015, no one asked him to write a film and television original soundtrack (ost). Suddenly someone approached him to write an ost. He told himself that he had to write it well this time, so he wrote it. "Rings of the Year". After "Annual Rings" became popular along with "A Thousand Bones of Flowers", there was a sudden period of time when various film and television dramas came to him, and he sang various OSTs crazily, including the theme song of the same name for the movie " ", the movie " Secret Love·Jusheng Huainan " episode "Before the Tears Fall", TV series "Summer Solstice Has Not Come" episode "That Boy", TV series " A Slight Smile is Alluring " opening song "One Smile is Alluring", etc.
He felt that he had done a good job in his music, and then he was seen. Various opportunities came, and programs began to invite him to record variety shows. So in 2017, he had the opportunity to participate in "The Masked Singer Season 2", in which "Light Chaser" sung by him had a listening volume of 240 million. In 2019, he participated in another music variety show "I Am a Singer-Songwriter Season 1" and continued to receive recognition in each music variety show, so he had more opportunities to participate in various music variety and music activities. Looking back on these experiences, he felt that every step he took was not easy. No wonder he was not angry when Hong Xiao, who had declined him before, found him again. 2024", and this season the singers also invited powerful foreign singers. Participating in such a program not only challenges oneself, but is also very helpful for self-improvement. There is no reason not to cherish it.
So Wang Sulong said that "Singer 2024" is an explanation for himself, like announcing to everyone that I have grown up to this point and this is what I am like now. In order to let everyone see his real growth, he was very bold. In the first round of competition, he chose original songs that had not yet been released and sang songs that he had not released. In response to this, the staff politely advised him to give up the risky move - this is a new song, and I am a little worried that he will suffer a bit in the first round of singing (after all, there will be eliminations). If you sing this kind of new song, you will not get any effect, you can only tell Everybody, you’re a singer-songwriter.Before choosing the songs to sing in the first round and deciding whether to accept the invitation from the program team, Wang Sulong was advised by the company to be cautious. After all, experienced veteran singers sometimes fall over when singing live.
Wang Sulong always sticks to his own ideas whether he decides to join as a singer or decides what song to sing in the first round. He feels that it is too much to say that he is a representative composer and singer, and he would not be surprised if he still sings a representative work. He has always been determined and knows what he wants. The first time he sang an unpublished song on "Singer 2024" is his sincerity. He has achieved a lot of achievements and achievements now. If he just wants to play safe, he doesn't have to stand here anymore. He has come here, so why not play something big? Otherwise, why are you here?
It was his persistence that led to the song "Thinking of Us". Although everyone is still relatively unfamiliar with this song, Wang Sulong won fourth place with a good performance. This result not only tells everyone that he is a singer-songwriter, but also tells everyone that he is a good singer.
In fact, it is not surprising that Wang Sulong took such a risky behavior, because he has been in the industry for fourteen years and has created eleven albums with different styles. The styles of several albums have changed, and the music is more diverse and diverse. There is also a lot of adventure behind this change. Without this adventurous spirit, Wang Sulong would not be what he is today, and he would not be able to join the singers and sing an unpublished song.
