Perfect Life

The domestic music scene throughout August still belongs to Liao Liao.

Although the album "The Sound of the Waves" has set an astonishing sales record one after another in July, many singers have to temporarily adjust the date of their new album release, ranging from two to three weeks to five to six weeks. Try to postpone it as much as possible, but it is only one July, obviously it is not the whole of the album "The Sound of the Waves".

August 1st is Monday. From this day on, "The Sound of the Wave" will enter its fifth week of listing.

Then, in the next four weeks, "The Sound of the Wave" has successively won 32,551, 30,814, 28,519, and 26,586 sales in a single week in Dongguan Bookstore. For eight consecutive weeks, it has always been sitting firmly in Dongguan Bookstore's album sales on the top of the leaderboard. Eight weeks after its listing, the album has steadily sold more than 254,000 copies in Dongguan Bookstore alone!

Even if it may not be there for the time being, it already means that the national sales of this album have infinitely approached the 5 million mark!

Yes, next, high schools, junior high schools and universities across the country are going to start school one after another, and the sales of all cultural and entertainment products will soon fall. However, in this unstoppable summer vacation, "Tao" The brilliance of this album "Sound Still" has already been built.

Breaking 20,000 copies in a single week for eight consecutive weeks!

Breaking 30,000 copies in a single week for four consecutive weeks!

The highest single week 38552!

And in the foreseeable next week, although "The Sound of the Wave" cannot escape the market law that sales will inevitably plummet after the summer vacation, there is still a high chance that it will continue to sell more than 20,000 copies!

It can be said that it is a foregone conclusion that this album has sold more than 8 million copies within a year.

Although there is still a certain gap between the current European and American pop singers who can easily sell 12 million copies and 15 million copies in one year, this is unprecedented for the Chinese music scene. big strides forward!

The maturity of the market, the strength of the singers, the quality of the songs, and the intentions of the production are brought about. That's the kind of market feedback -- a complete sales explosion.

Of course, in the Chinese music scene throughout August, although Liao Liao was the strongest one, it was in the last two weeks of August. There are still many singers who have released new albums one after another, and to the surprise of many people, although "The Sound of the Wave" is still strong after more than a month after its release, those singers who released albums at great risks have not. Not so vulnerable.

August 17. On Wednesday, Liu Mingliang officially released his new album "You and My Love".

Once this album was released, it was regarded by many professionals as a sign of Liu Mingliang's complete transformation - different from the previous style of ordinary folk songs and folk songs, in this new album, Liu Mingliang completely turned to folk songs! Of the eleven new songs on the entire album, only eight of them are folk songs. He used to be the best at folk songs, but only two songs!

Moreover, to the surprise of many people in the circle, in the album "You and My Love". There is actually an urban love song with a purely pop style - "The Love Goes On".

On Tuesday, August 23rd, Huang Yuqing, a singer who had been considered to be between the second-tier and the first-tier male singers, also released his fourth studio album - "" Rainy Day".

Huang Yuqing was originally an urban love song singer, from the time of his debut, but in the past few years, due to the weakness of love songs in the entire record market, the sales of his previous albums have never been up, although there are still many fans. Like and firmly support. Including Li Qian, when he was selling in the restaurant, he once sang several of his works, but before this "Rainy Day" was released. He has always been classified by the market as a singer of a niche genre.

But this time, as the total market volume continues to increase, on the one hand, after the bombardment of Liao Liao and Wuxing Wusu, the market's response to love songs—whether fast songs or slow songs, in short, love songs— acceptance and recognition. It is constantly improving, especially the younger fans are beginning to fall into the camp of love songs on a large scale. On the other hand, Huang Yuqing's new album has been done with great care, and he has borrowed some from Li Qian's many works. Thoughts, while blending into their own style, in this album, there are several songs that are quite brilliant.

As a result, Huang Yuqing suddenly rose up.

In the Dongguan Bookstore sales ranking on August 22, Liu Mingliang's new album "You and My Love", which had been on the market for the first week, challenged "The Sound of the Wave", which had been on the market for seven weeks, but failed.

Although "The Sound of the Waves" has shown signs of decline, it still leads the sales list with 28,519 copies. And "You and My Love" ranked second with 21,754 sales.

On the one hand, this certainly shows the strength of Liao Liao, because for Liu Mingliang personally, he sold more than 20,000 copies in a single week in only five days in the first week. It's normal sales.

But on the other hand, in the face of "The Sound of the Waves", which has been on the market for the seventh week, Liu Mingliang's new album is so powerless, which makes people have to sigh. He took a big turn, threw himself into the folk music camp, and rolled up his sleeves to one of the most popular urban love songs of the moment, but he still couldn't seem to stop his declining trend.

In the second week of the listing of "Your Love", many people believe that with the inevitable decline of "The Sound of the Wave" and the inevitable development of "Your Love" in the second week, this week "You and My Love" is estimated to have a lot of hope to overturn Liao Liao.

But when the latest issue of Dongguan Bookstore's sales rankings came out on August 29, it was a shock.

"The Sound of the Wave is Still", Liao Liao, Week 8, 26,586 pieces, ranked first.

"Rainy Day", Huang Yuqing, the first week, 23916 pieces, ranked second.

"You and My Love", Liu Mingliang, the second week, 23453 sheets, ranked third.

Liu Mingliang not only failed to overturn "The Sound of the Wave", which continued to slide, but was overturned by Huang Yuqing!

Moreover, this is the second week of "You and My Love" on the market. According to the almost irreversible market laws, this should be the week with the highest sales of Liu Mingliang's album. However, the new album "Rainy Day" by his newly emerged opponent Huang Yuqing was only on the market for the first week, and it only sold for six days!

However, second-tier singer Huang Yuqing directly put top singer Liu Tianwang on the ground!

Although in fact "Rainy Day" only sold 400 more copies than "You and My Love". But over, is over! What's more, people are still at an absolute disadvantage in terms of publicity, fame, etc. The quality of the album alone is abruptly surpassed!

Although it is said that after seeing the data, Huang Yuqing himself was so frightened that he was speechless for several minutes, and then he began to know to be happy, but. Huang Yuqing's successful counterattack has sent a message to all practitioners in the pop music industry very clearly - the era of urban love songs has really come!

Zou Wenhuai parked the car and went out. When he got to the door, he pushed the door and walked in. It happened that Wu Ma was watering the flowers in the yard. When he saw him coming, he smiled and said, "Mr. Zou is here."

Zou Wenhuai closed the door, nodded at her, and strode along the Yong Road in the middle of the courtyard to the main room. But when he passed by her, he suddenly stopped. After thinking about it, he turned his head to look at Wu Ma, lowered his voice, and asked, "How has she been in the past few days?"

Wu Ma nodded and said: "It's good, except that I still like to be in a daze, there is nothing else, and I look good. I have gained a little weight. She doesn't drink anymore, and she eats every meal. Eat some, sometimes a small bowl of rice, sometimes a flower roll I steamed for her. That's right. She still smokes, and if she can quit smoking, she'll be perfect!"

Zou Wenhuai nodded, thought about it, then smiled at Wu Ma and said, "Okay. I see, then you are busy!" He raised his legs to walk forward, but before he could take a step, he took it back again and said again. Q: "The person who sent her back last time has really never appeared again?"

Wu Ma didn't even think about it, and shook her head firmly, "No! I haven't been here once, not even a phone call."

After a pause, she added: "You know, for the first two days, she was so anxious that she wandered around the house like crazy, and at that time I was afraid that she would set fire to the house. Well! But later, it got better, especially in the past few days, she listens to songs every day, that is, the small box of records you sent her years ago. She listens to it every day recently. Although she still likes to be in a daze, But I can see her laughing several times almost every day. She even went out to water the flowers by herself yesterday!"

When Zou Wenhuai heard the words, she first nodded and smiled in satisfaction, then she squinted her eyes and muttered to herself, "This is really a bit wicked! He actually made her start eating and quit drinking! What kind of person could this be? I really want to meet him!"

When Wu Ma heard the words, she immediately answered him in a low voice, "Hei, he looks young, tall, handsome, and the young man looks very energetic, can he be... estimated to be one meter eighty-five? He doesn't pay much attention to what he wears. , it may also be that I just came back from outside. The car I drive is not small, but it is quite dirty. Oh, by the way, yesterday, the lady seemed to mention that the young man is from Jinan, and he just got into our Shuntian Prefecture. There's a school next to it, it's... learning something... oops, look at my brain!"

She only cared about her memories there, but didn't notice that Zou Wenhuai was a little dumbfounded, "Stop! You mean, the one who sent her back was a college student? He just got into college?"

Wu Ma nodded, "Ah! No! When the lady said it yesterday, I recalled to myself, isn't that young man a young man? He just looks calm!"

Zou Wenhuai hesitated for a moment, his eyes blinked, and he couldn't help thinking about it.

This is important information!

He never lost confidence in Zhou Ai's voice and singing skills, but he never had the slightest confidence in Zhou Ai's ability to survive and discriminate.

Young, he just got into college, he owns a nice car, and he sounds like the kind of person who likes to drive around the country in a car - isn't this the tune of many rich young men?

All right!

It's broken, it's broken now!

How could this girl be beaten like that and can't remember the pain!

Last time, that lousy old man had already messed up her and her career, but this time, it's better, if he encounters a playboy...Yes, it will be completely over!

No matter how famous Zhou Ai is, she can't stand the consumption one after another, and she can't stand her not having new songs for so many years! No matter how prosperous the market is, if you don’t produce new songs, not to mention the consumption of your fame, you will be a rising newcomer. Sooner or later, your status in the industry will be topped off, and with more choices, fans, even the original **** fans. It will also gradually shift the camp!

The music world is like this, you can be willful, as long as you sing well, as long as your album sells well, no matter how willful you are. There are companies and fans who are willing to support you, but if you are too self-willed, even if you ignore the record companies and fans for many years, you will not be able to bring sales and profits to the record companies, nor to the loyal fans. Bringing constant good new songs, then who would be so stupid, still guarding you and supporting you all the time?

Thinking of this, Zou Wenhuai couldn't bear it any longer, leaving Ma Wu in the yard, he strode to the door. While reaching out to push the door, he symbolically shouted, "Mummy, it's me, I'm in!"

He pushed open the door and went in, and saw that Zhou Hao was coming out with a skirt--the first time he saw her, Zou Wenhuai was a little stunned. It was rare in the past year or so that she actually wore a floral skirt, and Seems to be wearing light makeup?

I saw Zou Wenhuai come in. Zhou Ai smiled at him and asked, "What are you whispering to Wu Ma in the yard?" But she didn't even think about asking Zou Wenhuai to answer, she just shook the dress with the hanger in her hand and put it in front of her for comparison. on. Ask: "How is it, does it look good?"

Zou Wenhuai was stunned for a moment and asked, "Are you... going out?"

Zhou Ai blinked and said, "No! Oh, that's it, in two or three days. I have a friend who is coming to Shuntianfu, so I haven't cleaned myself for a long time, so I try on clothes. ..." Having said that, she sighed, "Oh, I really want to go out to buy clothes, it's like I haven't bought clothes for many years!"

Zou Wenhuai pushed up his glasses and looked at her, "Mummy, your friend... do I know him?"

Zhou Ai glanced at him, and her eyes could not tell whether she was laughing or not, it was like a small blade, swish, she even picked up her voice and pretended to ask: "You and Wu Ma were outside just now. Muttering about this, right?"

Zhou Hao turned around, leaving him with the back of a floral skirt.

"whispering sound!"

After a while, she took out another dress. The upper body was a very ordinary short-sleeved plaid shirt, and the lower body was a pair of washed jeans. Compared with her body, she asked, "What about this one?"

Zou Wenhuai thought for a while, and then asked directly, "Your friend just entered the university, right? Are you going to send him to the school?"

Zhou Hao glanced at him again after hearing the words, "No way?"

Zou Wenhuai sighed helplessly, "Mummy, can't we stop making trouble?"

While talking, he picked up his briefcase, opened it, stretched out his hand and took out his notepad, turned to the middle, and pointed at Zhou Muyiliang, "Sony, Xinda, Huage, Times, New Oriental, don't you? Don't want to know what offers they gave you? And..."

While talking, he stretched out his hand and took out a piece of paper from his bag, unfolded it, held it in his hand, shook it, and said, "Huang Yuqing, you should be familiar with it, right? You are all the same, old friends, right? It is difficult for his previous albums to exceed one million copies, but do you know how many copies of his new albums have been sold? "Rainy Day", urban love song, this number of yours, the first week of listing, the promotion is not as good as People are not as famous as others, but he killed Liu Mingliang directly!"

After a pause, he stared straight at Zhou Ai and said, "Dongguan Bookstore, there are nearly 24,000 copies in a week! The first week of listing, Liu Mingliang, who was in the second week of the outbreak, was directly killed, Ai. Ai, you are also in this industry, you know it, can you tell me what this means?"

After a pause, he saw that Zhou Hao just stared at him with wide eyes, motionless, and didn't speak, so he asked and answered directly, "Let me tell you, next week, Huang Yuqing will not only be able to continue pressing Liu Mingliang, She can even kill Liao Liao, who has occupied the list for eight weeks! Frankly speaking, I was shocked when this sales ranking came out, but I quickly understood, I think in this circle There are many people who have either figured it out now, or will also figure it out in the next few days, that is, the era of singers who belong to Huang Yuqing, belong to you, and belong to your genre has come!"

Zhou Ai still didn't speak, and a pair of clear eyes just stared at him.

Zou Wenhuai let her subconsciously reach out and push the glasses, but he still continued: "Liu Mingliang has dominated the music world for many years, but now, he is about to become obsolete, and it's not just him, He Runqing, Feng Feifei, Zhang Chang, and many others. People, these old people, as long as they can't keep up with the current development trend, they will be eliminated soon! And you, you, Huang Yuqing, Liao Liao, you are the leaders of the next decade !"

Having said that, he finally slowly put away the sales chart and notepad in his hand, sighed, looked at Zhou Ai seriously, and said with great sincerity: "So, Ai, listen to me, okay? It doesn't matter. What do you want to do, no matter who you will fall in love with in the future, at least for now, let's sign a company, release a new album, and catch up with the most important one or two years of this transition of old and new, you must not be eliminated, you Follow this trend and get the position that should belong to you, and then, even if the market position stabilizes, let’s be lazy and play with our temper, okay?”

After a pause, it seemed that he was afraid that Zhou Concubine would not pay enough attention to it, and he specially emphasized, "The old and the new alternate, this is not my alarmism, it is true! If you have not appeared in the past two years, no Release a new album, then wait until this wave of new and old in the music world is completed, and when a large wave of new singers have taken the lead, whether you like it or not, fans and record companies will think that you are already a person from a previous era. , this meaning... do you understand what I mean?"

Zhou Hao still looked at him fixedly.

After talking for a long time, it seemed that he felt that all he had to say had been said, and Zou Wenhuai also looked at her fixedly.

The two looked at each other for a moment, and Zhou Hao asked him, "Have you finished?"

Zou Wenhuai nodded, "It's over, at least what I should say and what I can say, I've already broken it up for you, and I've already told you what to do next, it's up to you!"

After a pause, he made an "oh" ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ and said, "By the way, on the way here just now, Xie Mingyuan from Sony called me again. I guess he also saw the sales rankings of this issue. Well, so he should be more optimistic about your comeback. He called to mean that as long as you agree to go to Sony and agree to comeback, everything is good to say, in addition, he assured me that he will do whatever it takes to invite the industry today. The most famous talent, Li Qian, wrote a title song for you, and he even said that he will work hard to get Li Qian to write your first album for your comeback, and strive to be an instant hit!"

Zhou Ai looked at him without saying a word, and her clear and bright eyes did not blink.

After Zou Wenhuai finished speaking, he shrugged helplessly and said, "This time it's really finished, what do you want to say, say it!"

Zhou Hao finally nodded.

After a while, her eyes suddenly became alive again, and even the expression on her face suddenly became active, she shook the clothes in her hand and asked, "Then say, the plaid shirt and jeans are placed together. , will it look too messy? Otherwise, how about I just wear a white shirt?"

Zou Wenhuai looked at her in amazement and was speechless for a long time. (To be continued.)
