Perfect Life

Rock music is a relatively small genre of music. ◢Щщш.suimeng.lā

But, in a sense, there has never been a real niche music in this world.

As long as it can be accepted and loved by more people, the minority can also become the public. And once there is a lack of high-quality products, even the former public will gradually decline and become a niche.

Just like the prosperity of folk songs in China, and the decline of the present.

In the birthplace of rock and roll, in the Western world, rock and roll once had a very strong dominance, no matter in the time and space that Li Qian had experienced, or in the current world. The dominance of rock stars and rock albums over the pop music world is not only not weaker than that of pop POP, but even more so.

However, in China, even if rock music flourished to its peak, in the mid-1980s, a group of rock and roll forces represented by the Flying Band were once a pivotal force in the domestic music scene, but they were limited by the social atmosphere at that time and the domestic atmosphere at that time. The level of social development, the vast majority of people, in fact, are not very accepting of such things as rock music, so even if the Red Ru Feixiang band has a very high status in the circle, it is simply the godfather level, but when it comes to As far as the pop music world is concerned, rock music has not yet reached the peak of the Western world.

Although the Feixiang Band is popular, the absolute mainstream of the entire music scene is still folk songs, folk songs, sweet songs, POP, etc. Rock music has never reached the center of the entire pop music scene.

However, that does not mean that rock music does not have the power to dominate the entire music scene.

Just to get to that step, you need the right time, the right place, and the people.

Speaking of time, with the overall rise of the economy, the current domestic economy is taking a new level every year. It is the country with the fastest economic development in the world. The industrialization and urbanization of the whole country are becoming more and more prominent. With the increase in income, With the advancement of urbanization, material conditions have become more and more convenient, but various social problems have also arisen - all of which are just like when rock music was born in the Western world.

Speaking of geographical advantages, in recent years, the domestic music industry record market has exploded for a period of time, and the entire record industry is thriving. Therefore, the overall capacity of the domestic record market has reached a certain level. The growth of the market not only means that the degree of commercialization of the entire market has reached a certain level, but also means that the tastes of the market will begin to differentiate, and various niche music categories have begun to have a preliminary survival soil.

In fact, if you really analyze it seriously, you will find that the current domestic music scene is really a hundred flowers blooming and a hundred schools of thought contend. Although the market is already huge, with the gradual decline of the older generation of superstars such as Liu Mingliang and Zhen Zhen, the domestic music scene is becoming more and more popular. There is no real top star anymore.

If there is, Liao Liao is barely one.

But for such a large domestic market, only one top superstar is obviously not enough.

The market is still huge, and the seats for top superstars are still there.

Let's talk about people... The older generation of rock music audiences such as Feixiang Band, who were cultivated in those years, have already grown into the backbone of the society. This certainly means that the status of Feixiang Band in the current country will become more and more noble, but From another point of view, that is to say, the mainstream forces of the whole society have an attitude of acceptance and even welcome towards rock music. The four beauties successfully appeared on the Spring Festival Gala, not only the finale but also the Son got eleven minutes of performance time, and they did achieve the highest ratings in thirteen years in one fell swoop, which proves all this.

In addition, of course, young people, young people, have always been the natural audience for rock music.

So, quietly, with the passage of time, as the generation grew up and took over the power of the entire society, before you knew it, rock music actually had the greatest potential that he could have. market!

Therefore, the right time, place and people, have it.

Then, the four beauties were stuck at this time, and boarded the most influential stage in the entire Chinese-speaking region, and came up with two songs that naturally have a larger audience, and can even win a lot of original music for pop music. Non-audience works - "Once You", and "Fly Higher."

As a folk rock, for fans of the Chinese music circle, works like "Once You" have a natural intimacy from the blood.

As a pop rock, the theme is so positive, there is no doubt that the audience of "Flying Higher" is even far more than "Once You"!

So, when the performance ended, to a certain extent, rock music not only entered the hall of elegance, but even, for the first time in history, rock music, and the four beauties, stood in the Chinese music circle for the first time. Right in the center!

The four beauties are on fire!

"Once You" and "Fly Higher" are on fire!

Of course, the four beauties were also very popular. The album "The False Monk" is known as one of the most successful rock albums in China. Before the Feixiang Band decided to come back, they were the representatives of the entire domestic rock force. . However, the fire of that time and the fire of today are not the same concept at all.

The former has a considerable position and appeal in the music scene, in the music circle, and in the hearts of the vast number of fans, especially rock fans, while the latter has become a kind of culture throughout China and the entire domestic society. Symbols - When it comes to pop music, you must mention the four beauties! In the country, they even reached a historic level that almost no one knows about!

This is a great brilliance that Feixiang Band, Liu Mingliang, Zhen Zhen, and even Liao Liao and other superstars have never really achieved in the past!

If I have to give an example, the four beauties before and after the Spring Festival Gala are probably like Jay Chou in the time and space that Li Qian once experienced.

At first, he was a potential newcomer in the music circle, but he has become a big hit, but he is still only a superstar, but he has not changed from "Dongfeng Po" and "My Site" to "Fresh Like Snow" and "Chrysanthemum Terrace" , "Thousands of Miles Away", "Blue and White Porcelain", after several years of continuous expansion of several albums, he finally became Jay Chou, the person who would inevitably mention Chinese music when he mentioned Chinese music, and even achieved that almost no one knew it.

Of course, unlike Jay Chou, although Feixiang Band and Li Qian have actually experienced the accumulation of the previous years, they have completed the step of leapfrog and achieved the step of qualitative change. In addition, Jay Chou in that time and space is much faster. Jay Chou used it for several years, while the Big Four Beauty Band only used it for eleven minutes!

The Spring Festival Gala is over.

That night, I don't know how many people talked about "those two great songs", or learned about rock and roll from friends, and learned about the Big Four.

The second day is the first day of the new year. The theme of the whole country on this day is, of course, New Year's greetings, but on the coffee table and sofa area on this day, on this day's dining table, everyone sits together, in addition to communicating about the past year In addition to each other's situation, last night's Spring Festival party, "those two very nice songs", and the names of the four beauties, as well as the names of Li Qian, Liao Liao and others, have also become thousands of households, almost everyone. It is a hot topic after dinner in the whole country.

It is said that the rebroadcast of the Spring Festival Gala in the morning and afternoon still reached an astonishing 62 ratings during the time period when the four beauties appeared!

In fact, on the first day of the new year, countless people have gone to their favorite video store or bookstore successively to ask when the legendary album will arrive.

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, the branches of Dongguan Bookstore all over the country started the official business of the new year collectively. On the third day of the Lunar New Year, the total number of pre-ordered orders has even reached 190,000 - even if some of these advance orders will definitely not be fulfilled in the end, because customers have the ability to cancel orders at any time. power, but even if it is calculated according to the ratio between normal reservations and actual sales data, this is likely to mean that "Once You" will receive more than 100,000 copies in the first week of its launch. Weekly sales!

This record is unprecedented since the sales statistics in the domestic record market and the record sales data in Dongguan Bookstore.

In fact, when the influence of a singer, a band, and an album has spread to such an extent as the four beauties, then, as a book and audio-visual sales network that only stands in medium and large cities, The market share that Dongguan Bookstore can occupy, and the proportion of its sales data in the total data, will be far lower than the 20-fold rule commonly used in the industry.

Exactly how much, of course, no one knows yet.

During the Chinese New Year, other departments of Minghu Culture Company have normal holidays and rest, except the publicity and distribution department, which does not even have a day off, and all of them are devoted to intensive work.

In turn, the contracted distributors and publishers of Minghu Culture Company in various provinces and cities across the country are also collectively working non-stop. They set off separately from the government, and before 8:00 p.m. on the third day of the third day at the latest, they have arrived all over the country according to the pre-ordered quantity of the dealers, and were then split up and sent to the next-level dealers.

Of course, this is just the first batch.

Because the service industry has always been less rested during holidays, it is a day or two holidays. Therefore, the audio and video stores and bookstores that opened one after another in the second and third grades of junior high school, after receiving a large number of album reservations from regular customers, urgently Asking for goods from higher-level dealers, so the sales figures estimated by dealers at all levels in advance were suddenly pulled up a big step.

One after another, calls for additional orders were directly called to the distribution department of Minghu Culture Company. Then, the first batch of trucks had not yet returned, and the second batch had already hit the road urgently!

It is conceivable that during this annual vacation, the transportation companies that cooperate with Minghu Culture and the subordinate distribution companies of Minghu Culture are also very busy.

Of course, all the current prosperity has only appeared in the reservation, and no one dares to make a conclusion about the actual sales situation, but even so, the person in charge of the company has called the news of the good news several times. clean there.

At 9:30 p.m. on the third day of the new year, Qi Jie rushed back to Shuntian Mansion and hastily ended her second vacation in the past two or three years.

At the same time, Li Qian and Liao Liao drove to the northeast on the morning of the same day after staying in Shuntian Mansion for two days. Liao Liao said with a smile, maybe from now on, he really wants to say goodbye to travel. Take a ride.

Because in the past two days or so, in all the media they could contact, newspapers, TV stations, radio stations, almost every moment, there were people discussing rock music, the four beauties, the "Once You" ", discussing "Flying Higher", discussing Li Qian and Liao Liao.

The photos of the five members of the band frequently appear on every screen and paper that people will see. The poster of the album "Once You" shows the five expressionless faces standing with their shoulders on their shoulders. The people in the snow were almost put under the magnifying glass, and were looked at and looked at by hundreds of millions of people across the country.

And the past of the five people, whether it is dark or glorious, those resumes have been turned over again by all the media, hosts, music critics and so-called experts, as well as those who have to bite the bullet and talk to the host after being overwhelmed People talked about the Four Beauties, the singers and actors of Li Qian, and repeatedly discussed everything related to the Four Beauties, everything related to Li Qian, and everything related to those two songs.

The New Year has not yet passed, and the singers and musicians of Minghu Culture who were on vacation suddenly received many interview calls - Rose Power, He Runqing, Zhou Hao and others, it goes without saying that even Zhou Ye, because of He has a good relationship with Liao Liao, and has received invitations from several TV and radio programs. I hope he can come over to be a guest, record a program, talk about himself, and of course, talk about the Li Qian and the one he knows. Liao Liao, and the four beauties.

Even He Wei, the deputy music director of Minghu Culture Company, whose identity is not yet public, received an invitation from the magazine, hoping that he could accept an interview and talk about his mental journey from resigning from Sony Records to becoming a freelance creator. Also talk about the evaluation of Li Qian and the four beauties.

Of course, the focus of the focus must be the members of the four beauties.

Cao Zhan, Yu Bojun, and Wang Huaiyu have already become influential and well-known figures in the music circle with the release and fire of the first album of the four beauties, "The False Monk". Now, their popularity has suddenly risen to a higher level with the popularity of the two Spring Festival Gala songs and the almost pervasive reports from the media.

All kinds of exclusive interview invitations from radio, television, newspapers and magazines poured in like snowflakes.

As for Li Qian and Liao Liao, who were already on the cusp of the entertainment industry... It is conceivable that Cao Zhan, Yu Bojun and Wang Huaiyu are already like this. Li Qianhe is more brilliant, famous and influential than them. Liao Liao, needless to say.

Of course, Zhou Ye's albums are still on sale, and he is currently in the rising stage of his solo singer career. After jumping to Minghu Culture after the year, the new album will be launched quickly, and Rose Power is also a new force in the music world, so , they can still consider going to the interview request of the right amount and the direction of the road, but most of the others, including Cao Zhan, Yu Bojun, Wang Huaiyu, Zhou Ai, Liao Liao, He Runqing, Li Qian, etc., declined. Now - similar to Li Qian, most of the friends around Li Qian are relatively low-key and don't like being frequently exposed in the media.

Among them, it is estimated that Wang Huaiyu will benefit the most.

A few years ago, due to the rush to make a new album, Wang Huaiyu's solo recital, which had been confirmed, was postponed. It is said that the leadership was quite dissatisfied, but now, with the broadcast of the party, although the unit is still performing. , but he was not working, but the influx of interview invitations still surprised his Chinese Orchestra, so the leader quickly called him, and it was a rare suggestion that Wang Huaiyu would be prepared and take the time. Arranged, the individual recitals that had been postponed indefinitely and almost cancelled by the leaders before, strive to be able to schedule as much as possible in the spring.

And all of this, just because of the eleven minutes at the Spring Festival Gala, just because of those two songs, suddenly began to be very different from before - if in the days before, Li Qian and the four beauties, and the surrounding These friends around them are also very famous, but if they can still arrange their life like a murmur, then now, whether they want to or not, everything in front of them has already rushed like a big wave.

On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ on February 9th in the Western calendar, Tuesday afternoon, the album "Once You" finally arrived ahead of schedule.

Although the official sales date is tomorrow, the fifth day of the Chinese New Year, the album has been put on the shelves in countless video stores, bookstores, and convenience stores across the country as soon as the album arrives.

Then, of course, almost all the speakers and speakers in almost every related store across the country began to sound the familiar rhythm that countless fans were thinking of, and the voice that has become more and more familiar to more and more people--" Zeng Mengmeng Take a sword to the ends of the earth and take a look at the prosperity of the world."

And the promotional posters sent with the album were also posted in the most conspicuous promotional positions for the first time.

In addition, there are also countless hand-made small blackboards, LED electronic publicity screens at the door, and large publicity papers, all of which have been written one after another—

"Once You" has arrived!
