Perfect Life

First of all, I apologize: There was a typo in the release date of He Runqing's new album "Bitter Bamboo" at the end of the last chapter. It should be Tuesday, June 21, not Saturday. I apologize. Thanks to the book friend "Jun Zhi Ai" for correcting me.

June 6th, afternoon.

High heels clack.

He Runqing walked into Sony Records slowly, and everyone greeted her as she saw it along the way. Voices such as "Hello Sister Runqing", "Hello Sister Qing", and "Hello Miss He" began to sound from the company's door, and kept going. To the singer lounge area where she walked into the company.

Even after she passed by, a male employee shouted, "Sister Runqing, we support you and defeat Wuxingwusu! You are the Queen of Sweet Songs!"

No way, He Runqing usually treats people well and never puts on the air of a big star. He has always been the best one in the company's popularity and word of mouth.

Looking back with a little surprise, she solemnly nodded to the red-faced male employee, said thank you, and then continued to move forward - but as soon as she left everyone's sight, her face changed again. He regained his preoccupied appearance.

Well, just this morning, Huage Records announced that Wuxingwusu's new album "Let Me Fly" will be released nationwide the week after her new album "Bitter Bamboo" is released.

Fools know that this is for her.

…………

@Any circle has its own rules of the game.

For example, in the domestic pop music world, everyone knows that May to October is the golden half year for selling records, especially during the summer vacation, which is the most popular, but after all, the summer vacation is only two months. Can't we all get together?

then. From the day the domestic music scene started. After 20 years of exploration, collision, competition, and even war by major record companies and singers, the domestic pop music world has gradually formed a set of tacit rules for the release of new albums.

For example, for male singers, Hu Yang usually chooses to release his new album in early May every year, Xin Zhao will choose to release his new album from the end of June to the beginning of July, and Liu Mingliang's new album will usually be released in the end of August and the beginning of September. In this way, the three big names in the male singer circle can each set aside up to one or two months of exclusive time, without affecting each other. Carved up. Zhang Chang, on the other hand, has always kept a low profile, either in October or in the beginning of spring. In short, everyone has a tacit understanding. Do not go to war.

As for the female singer, it is in April every year. It's Feng Feifei's fixed release time. Although it's not prime time, her fans are relatively fixed, and she won't be a big hit, but if she sells it, it can last until the end of the summer vacation. Once the time line is stretched, it will lead to her even a single week. , The sales volume in a single month is not dazzling, but the overall sales volume is not low.

After her, June to July has always been He Runqing's traditional filming time. When Zhou Ai was more prosperous that year, she usually chooses it in the end of August and the beginning of September.

Take a single record company Sony Records as an example. In April, their big name Feng Feifei released an album, and it sold for two months. It happened that He Runqing took over the baton and released a new album in June and July. Then, in the second half of the summer vacation, just in time Liu Mingliang took it. The three singers with the biggest coffee position and the highest sales volume in the company happened to share the golden half year perfectly. Among them, according to the popularity of the market, Sony Records will also launch second-tier, third-tier or newcomer albums in a timely manner almost every month to harvest the market, and at the same time compete for market share with singers of the same level from other companies.

In short, whether it is a tacit understanding or an unspoken rule, once it is formed, everyone thinks, um, this is a good idea.

Don't think about suppressing anyone, anyway, selling records, everyone is looking for high sales, once a war between two big coffees, there may be an opportunity to form an alternative hot market, or it may use the hot momentum to lead to both parties. In the end, they all sold well, but it must be that the two albums of the two people are very hard and very popular in the market. If there is a difference, the result may be complete suppression, and if both sides fail, it will only add to the jokes.

And to be honest, no matter how confident a singer or musician is, before the album is released, there is no guarantee that his album will sell well, otherwise there will be no albums that lose money in this world! Therefore, even singers who have reached the level of Liu Mingliang and Xinfu Zhao must have fantasized about dominating the market, but in the face of strong opponents and the unpredictable market, everyone still chose to tacitly separate time periods and sell their own.

After all, once the battle begins, the risk is too great, to the point that neither the singer nor the record company can bear it—everyone wants to win by themselves, but what if they lose? That may lead to a plummet of prestige, or even a direct fall!

It is also based on this potential market rule that when Liao Liao's first album was going to be released, Changsheng Records chose August, which was vacated after Zhou Ai announced his withdrawal from the music scene-although in August, Zhao Xinfu's prestige was still there. , and Liu Mingliang will soon release a new album, but after all, the gender of male and female singers is different, and the competition for fans is not too serious.

Although it was considered at that time that Zhou Hao would not appear in the month, He Runqing deliberately delayed the release of the album by nearly a month, intending to monopolize the entire summer vacation, but her dominance was not at that level at all, and Liu Mingliang. I also saw that Zhou Ai was not there, so I released the album in advance, but even in the middle of the gap between their two big singers, one man and one woman, Liao Liao rose rapidly by virtue of the extraordinary quality of his album.

In fact, the rise of Liao Liao has to a certain extent formed a direct competition with He Runqing in the same period, resulting in He Runqing stealing chickens without losing money and not talking about rice, a certain degree of fiasco, and also leading to her influence on the market a substantial decline. "Fan Xing" has been on the market for nearly a year, and the sales have not reached 2 million copies, which is the most powerful illustration of her initial fiasco.

Although with the single "Half Pot Yarn", He Runqing quickly stopped his downward trend, although when he participated in the New Year's Day singing party, the two women who had been fighting hard in the market also held hands intimately, She looks like a good sister, but it's hard to say whether He Runqing has any pimples in her heart.

And the most important thing is that after that setback, firstly, she has a guilty conscience, and secondly, she also understands that, with her market influence, she wants to dominate the summer market, even if it is only the summer market for female singers. Totally impossible.

So now, in 1996, for the domestic pop music scene, there has been another big celebrity who is qualified to carve up a whole piece of time, and that is Liao Liao. For all the big names in the music world, everyone's release time will have to go through some slow discussions with each other before they can gradually find a tacit understanding.

But in fact, it's not a big deal if it's just one Liao Liao's words.

Now, Zhen Zhen's album is still being delayed, grinding and grinding as always. Although it is said that the album has been under intense production, according to Zhen Zhen's temper, it is estimated that it will be difficult to see it on the market this year. It is far away, and there is no accurate news so far, so even if there is one more Liao Liao, this market is still enough.

Feng Feifei's April, no one robbed, so He Runqing took the beginning of the summer vacation, Liao Liao took the end of the summer vacation, the three female celebrities just happened to divide the market perfectly again.

As a matter of fact, both Changsheng Records and Sony Records have all planned this way.

However, no one expected that the Wuxingwusu combination, which was just sold out at the beginning of this year and then became popular, would come to grab the market so impatiently.

Their group suddenly became popular in the years before and after the Spring Festival. Although it is indeed popular enough, the whole circle generally expects that their next album should still be released in a time period that they are more familiar with, at least We also need to consolidate another album before we can have enough strength and self-confidence to carve up the summer market.

Therefore, in the previous prediction, everyone was thinking, Feng Feifei and Hu Yang were the first, then Zhao Xinfu, then He Runqing, then Liao Liao and Liu Mingliang. The six of them, just staggered from each other, could form a one-man occupation for a month. The situation, I dare not say that there will be no interference at all, but at least we have left a buffer period for each other, which is also a plan that everyone can accept.

However, no one expected that Huage Records' confidence in Wuxingwusu was so strong, and their idea of ​​competing for the golden time of the summer vacation was so strong.

However, after the collision with Liao Liao last year and defeat, although He Runqing stopped the decline with "Half Pot Yarn", its downward trend is still so obvious in the eyes of major record companies.

Obviously, compared to Feng Feifei's April when there was not much need for competition, and Liao Liao's August when it will be strong to a large extent, and it is difficult to say who wins and who loses, Huage Records believes that He Runqing is the current Among the female singers with enough coffee in this market, the soft persimmon is the best to squeeze.

So, they shot.

The time they released their albums was only seven days apart~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Everyone is a female singer series. Obviously, this is the most direct market competition.

And if you consider He Runqing's decline, and Wuxingwusu's last album has only been on the market for less than half a year, it is already about to break the super momentum of 5 million sales, there is no doubt that this is not simply Wuxingwusu to step on He Runqing's problem is that Huage Records wants to take advantage of Wuxingwusu's strong market position to challenge Sony Records again!

The result of this is that He Runqing's album has just been released, and before the sales burst, Wuxing Wusu's album will be released on the spot. Of course, there are still many fans who like He Runqing, and they will buy what they should buy, but what about fans who like He Runqing and Wuxingwusu? If they don't lack money, it's okay, but what if they only have enough money to buy one album? I bought Wuxingwusu, but I can't buy He Runqing's!

It may be that in the past month, I have been fighting too hard. I have been tired recently, and my state has not been able to adjust to the best. But don't worry, there will definitely be a second chapter today!

I am trying to adjust! (To be continued..)
