Perfect Life

After the start of the year in 1997, almost all practitioners in the pop music world found that the atmosphere of the entire music world seemed to be changing little by little.

This kind of change is not simply to say that a certain singer is more popular, a certain singer is rising, a certain singer is declining, or the total amount of the market is always expanding, expanding, expanding... and so on, but That is to say, the general climate of the entire music world, the trend of the whole music world, and even the fierce competition of the whole music world, all of which make people feel more and more clearly that the music world in 1997 seemed to be really is entering a new era.

In such a lively 1997, Wuxing Wusu was the first to stand up.

Originally, the group Wuxingwusu experienced a big hit in the first half of 1996 and a sudden decline in the second half of the year. For the music market, their status is still in the undetermined category, because no one knows them. What will the next album sell for - maybe it will soar to an unattainable height like "Sister and Sister Stand Up", or it may plunge into a deep ditch like "Let Me Fly", who? Know what?

Therefore, for her new album, almost everyone is looking at it with a cold-eyed attitude.

It was not until they brought the title song of the new album "The Boy Opposite Here" to the Spring Festival Gala for the first time. With their youthful and beautiful image, and the same youthful dynamic style, they won a lot of praise. Everyone had a hunch. The album will not be "Let Me Fly", but "Sister and Sister Stand Up".

as predicted.

After the official launch after the Spring Festival, "The Boy Opposite" has almost perfectly reproduced the unparalleled dominance of "Sister and Sister Stand Up" that swept the country last year in this traditional off-season of album sales.

In Dongguan Bookstore, they set the sales record of breaking 30,000 copies once in a single week, and breaking 20,000 copies five times in a single week. The album's all-time No. 3 bestseller.

On the Voice of China Radio Station's Golden Songs On Demand Chart, "The Boy Opposite" has a maximum of six songs on the chart at the same time. And at the same time, the title song "The Boy Who Opposite" has been sitting firmly in the No. 1 position since it landed on the Spring Festival Gala, and no one can shake it. And then, the song just dominated the charts for seven weeks!

All over the country, "The Boy Opposite", "Ouch", "Love" (Little Tigers Edition, author's note), "Butterfly Flying", "I'm Sorry Baby", "Peace To You", "Chinese Folk Song" ... this series of songs. At the same time, they have successfully occupied the playback equipment and loudspeakers of video stores of all sizes across the country. For a while, no matter where you go, you can almost hear the singing of their five girls.

In the two months before and after that, they were definitely the most popular one in the north and south of the river!

It can even be said that they have swept away the bad luck and lowness of last year's "Let Me Fly", and regained the infinite brilliance of the first youthful girl group in China.

Then, in mid-March, Feng Feifei released a new album, supposedly. Of course, she was going to stand up and take over, but the result was that she sank. In the first three weeks of the new album, Feng Feifei was always under the pressure of Wuxing Wusu, who had been on the market for several weeks, and even had the potential to rush up. It didn't show up, and then it gradually sank to the bottom!

Because in April, Zhou Ai's new album was released.

The release of Zhou Ai's new album finally ended the situation in which "The Boy Opposite" has dominated various charts for nearly two months. Previously, the so-called four queens in the music world, although Zhen Zhen was known as the return of the king, but In fact, the new album she released last year has lost the momentum of the king. After a few months of listing, people summed up the data and found that she was no match for Li Junru, a newly rising younger generation in the music world, and Feng Feifei could almost be judged to have fallen. After last year's "Bitter Bamboo", He Runqing has been recognized by the industry as really going downhill. Until now, there is only one week left if he can really stand up and compete with these new powers that have recently risen in the music world. Emma.

Coming back after a lapse of several years, Zhou Ai's Zhou's love songs are still good. Especially for fans who like her voice, it's almost like tears are coming out of their eyes.

So, her new album sold quite well.

According to Zhou Ai personally told Li Qian, the shipment feedback received by Sony, about the middle and late June, that album should be able to steadily break the national sales volume of 2 million. Therefore, when Liao Liao's album started to sell at a great deal, Sony even started planning and preparing a double platinum celebration dinner for Zhou Ai.

Of course, Zhou Ai's comeback is like a gust of wind, but she has been away from the music scene for several years after all, and the true loyal fans are still limited, so after the first four weeks of scenery, her follow-up selling ability, It started to weaken gradually, so the "Boy Opposite Look Over", who had been chasing steadily behind her, gradually caught up.

Throughout early and mid-May, the two albums on both sides were almost always wrestling with each other on various charts.

Then, Liao Liao finally came.

After the release of "Grateful Heart", people inside and outside the music circle really understood what the return of the king is.

This album has swept all the domestic pop music charts, occupied the popular on-demand tracks of almost all radio stations, swept the amplifier equipment in almost all cities in China, and monopolized every pair of music-loving ears!

After the release of this album, as long as you are in China, no matter where you go, as long as you encounter someone walking or cycling with headphones on the street, you will randomly stop people to ask, at least more than half of the ten people People are listening to "Grateful Heart"!

It can be said that there is no need to wait for the final data such as the three-month sales, half-year sales and one-year sales of this album to come out, Liao Liao can already be undisputedly crowned king!

As Xie Mingyuan, the head of Sony Records, the largest record company in China, sighed with emotion: The first person in China!

Moreover, Liao Liao's status today is no longer simply the evaluation of a certain person, an organization, or a certain media. This is the consensus of the domestic pop music scene - the media, music critics, musicians, singers , record companies, and at least tens of millions of loyal fans across the country.

Of course, for the in-depth practitioners in the music industry, the big sale of the album "Grateful Heart" has not only had an impact on Liao Liao's complete domestic music scene, but it is not as simple as being a king.

First. "Grateful Heart" was a big hit, as well as a lot of gossip about the distribution companies in various places using this album to push the market flat, so that everyone suddenly understood that once the popularity reached the level of Liao Liao. Once the album has reached the level of "Grateful Heart", in fact, to a certain extent, it has been possible to drop a hundred wills and hit a distribution channel directly from scratch.

After all, the market is always going to move with interest. And "Grateful Heart" is for professional musicians. It's a successful and useful template, an incredible musical journey for fans, but a huge piece of music for businessmen, record companies, distribution companies, distributors, and video store bookstores. benefit cake.

Therefore, Li Qian's studio did not have any distribution channels of its own two months ago, and it was completely poor, but only two months later, they just took advantage of this "Grateful Heart", and they easily developed A very eye-catching distribution channel has emerged.

second. With the blessing of distribution channels, although as far as the industry knows, this small music company bound by Li Qian Studio and Minghu Culture Company has only two contracted singers, Liao Liao and He Runqing. After taking his very solid first step, he is no longer Wuxia Amon, but has rapidly grown into a force that cannot be underestimated in the entire industry.

And, whether it's from songwriting, album production, artist direction, or promotion, packaging, and distribution, their strength. Among the hundreds of record companies in China, it can already be regarded as one of the best!

Third, there is no doubt that Li Qian once again proved his almost invincible musical talent!

at the same time. He also proved once again that Li Qian plus Liao Liao, or Li Qian plus Wuxing Wusu, or Li Qian plus anyone from so-and-so, will be an absolute guarantee of great popularity!

The singer can be changed, it doesn't matter. No problem, if you change the singer, there is a gap in singing skills and strengths. In terms of the quality of the records, the difference is only a little singing skills, and in terms of the sales of records, it is only that in the end, the status of the singer can be unlimited. Only the last two or three million sheets that were pulled high.

However, as long as there is Li Qian, the sales of 5 million copies will be guaranteed data!

You know, people who are as popular as Huang Yuqing, as popular as Li Junru, and as popular as Zhou Ai who recently made a comeback can't guarantee that their albums will sell 5 million copies in the future!

However, in Li Qian's shot record, "Sister and Sister Stand Up" has been infinitely close to 8 million copies, "The Boy Opposite" is about to exceed 5 million copies in four months, and "The Sound of the Wave" is on the market. In one year, it is said that the domestic sales alone have exceeded 9 million copies. In the future, maybe half a year, maybe a year... Well, it will be a year. This album is destined to become a domestic first. Zhang ten platinum album!

As for "Grateful Heart", although the national sales data still needs to be fed back bit by bit, the single-week sales record of Dongguan Bookstore breaking 50,000 is enough to show its strength! Sales? Will this kind of thing be missing?

It can be said that with "Grateful Heart" conquering the ears of thousands of fans, and with this album all the way to the major charts, there are only two things that the entire pop music world is most looking forward to at present -

The first one, after He Runqing transferred to Li Qian's studio, it is said that he has already recorded a "transformation" album, and it is said that it has been ordered to be released in July or August. The whole industry is looking forward to this album.

He Runqing is the Queen of Sweet Songs that everyone is very familiar with, and her downward trend in the past two or three years, especially with the alternation of old and new seen by the domestic music circles, and the gradual loss of the mainstream market with Sweet Songs, has caused her to decline. All the people who like He Runqing in the whole music circle are worried and helpless.

So, when Li Qian meets He Runqing, what will the "transformation" of their joint efforts look like? What kind of changes will it bring to the music world?

Also, can the so-called "transformation" they joined forces succeed in the face of the market?

Although even a commercial failure is not enough to deny their respective strengths and status in the arena, the album failed and the transformation failed. Li Qian is still the first gold medal producer and promoter in the industry, and He Runqing is still the irreplaceable queen of sweet songs in the domestic music scene in the past ten years, but what if they succeed?

If they are successful. Even if it is successful enough to not only be admired by professional musicians, but also to achieve good results in the market... Then, Li Qian's status will be infinitely higher than it is now. It has always reached a height that makes all domestic musicians unmatched!

Looking forward to this.

As for the second thing...that is, besides Liao Liao, Wuxing Wusu and He Runqing, who and which record company can get the next "Li Qian Production"?

Also, will Li Qian’s studio, or Minghu Culture Company, maintain its current scale? Will they sign new people again? Will they expand their lineup of musicians?

If it was before, before "Grateful Heart" was not released, for this studio that suddenly jumped in. Record companies of all sizes in the entire industry will have a subconscious attitude of repelling each other, and if they have a certain degree of psychological disobedience to cooperate with Li Qian's studio, then by now, when the other party has their own The distribution channel has emerged as a force that cannot be ignored in this circle, but the sense of disobedience in everyone's heart has suddenly disappeared.

And at this time, since others have risen, what is the use of us not cooperating with others in a tacit understanding? Think again. What does Li Qian's production mean? Means the rise, means the album sells!

It means... at least 5 million guaranteed sales!

In fact, you don't have to get the entire album "produced by Li Qian". Even if one of his works is used as the title song, it will be a good opportunity for any singer to make a leap!

Don't you see, such as Huang Mai, such as Lin Xiufeng, such as Diao Yixiong. Such as Zhou Feng, they used to be only second- and third-tier singers, but now, in order to help Liao Liao transfer to Li Qian's studio, Li Qian took his four songs as a favor, so "Wandering Song" became a hit Da Zi, "Friends" (Zang Tianshuo version, author's note) is a big hit, "I Think I'm the Sea", fire, "Big Leather Shoes", also fire...

In just half a year, when these four songs were released one after another, although Changsheng Records lost one Liao Liao, it gained four leading male singers, and each of them was at the level of double platinum...

Don't you see, Zhou Ye, a newcomer who is quite good at singing, just because he is a fellow with Liao Liao, so he got a piece of Li Qian's work, "Bending Moon" from Liao Liao, and then, although this is only a It's a ballad, and it doesn't have too much popularity. In fact, compared to the four of Changsheng Records, Zhou Ye is indeed not very popular, but within the music circle, this song has won unanimous 's praise!

Moreover, after a few months of listing, Zhou Ye's "Bending Moon", although it has always been sold tepidly, his sales will never rise, but it is not low. The ability to sell well over a long period of time has made some big-name singers jealous, and if you do a careful calculation, you will find that, before you know it, the sales of his album have almost reached 2 million...

Before that, Zhou Ye was a pure newcomer!

Now, although he did not become popular overnight, it is undeniable that with that song "Bending Moon", he has become popular!

There are doubts in the first-line, and the second-line peak is steady!

And this is exactly the value of Li Qian and "made by Li Qian"!

So, seemingly overnight, the entire pop music world suddenly woke up.

So, one day, two days, three days, and unknowingly, the phone of Li Qian's studio started to get busy. The studio's public contact number has completely turned into a hotline, and Qi Jie's office phone, and even the office mobile phone, has also begun to show signs of being blasted!

As a result, first managers, or record companies, then musicians from all walks of life, and finally some singers, and even a group of singers with a fairly high status in the circle, began to visit one after another, visiting Li Qian's studio...

It would be even better if you knew someone who could get on the line, such as Zhou Ye, around the corner! Even if Li Qian is absent for six or even seven days in a week, it doesn't matter, even if He Runqing goes out to run for business performances~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Even if Liao Liao goes out for publicity, it still doesn't matter, and Li Jinlong Yes, and Sun Meimei is here, these are all relationships worth winning!

As a result, within a few weeks, Li Qian's studio received several calls from the crew, and Qi Jie even took time to go out to meet a few directors and producers. Soon, in the past, I couldn't get it if I begged my grandfather to tell my grandma. The plot outline of Qi Jie was piled up on Qi Jie's desk in the blink of an eye...

So, Lu Ruoying, deputy director of the TV drama production department of Huaxia TV, quickly called Qi Jie's personal mobile phone, and she said, "Xiao Qi, I have a good drama here, but the theme song I've always been dissatisfied, you help me ask Li Qian if he has time, how about writing a song for me?"

Therefore, Feng Yumin's phone number even went directly to Li Qian's mobile phone, "Little Overlord, I know you must be very busy right now, but don't forget about the theme song of our Three Kingdoms..."
