Perfect Life

Vol 5 Chapter 9: This unscientific!

Zhou Ai's singing ability and the characteristics of her voice have made her one of the most anticipated female singers in the domestic music circle. Li Qian's ability to compose songs and produce albums is of course well-known.

The love affair between the two has been going on for many years since the blatant torment war began. During this period, Liao Liao released several albums, and even went to the United States, and became the first world-class superstar in China, He Runqing. , Rose Power, etc., have also won the support of Li Qian, creating a big situation in today's music circle, but it happens that after a few years, Zhou Ai has only one work by Li Qian, and it is also a chorus!

Because of this, Zhou Ai's new album, which will be directed by Li Qian, is highly anticipated.

It was originally scheduled to have a lot of distribution promotions, TV stations, radio stations, newspapers, including magazine covers and interviews, and even watches and cosmetics endorsed by Zhou Ai. They are going to take the opportunity to hold a small show. On the one hand, it can also take the opportunity to attract the attention of a wider range of media.

But all of this was directly cancelled by Li Qian because of Zhou Hao's sudden pregnancy.

The new album was released, and Zhou Ai did not participate in any publicity.

As far as the domestic music scene is concerned, there was only one Li Qian and the four beauties with Li Qian as the lead singer. Other singers, big and small, including Liao Liao, would definitely want to do this before and after the album was released. Go out and run some shows to drive sales for the album.

Now, Zhou Hao is a husband and wife, and has learned from Li Qian.

But I have to say that this is really in line with Zhou Hao's temperament, so she didn't even refuse, she just nodded and agreed, extremely happy!

Of course, there must be complaints.

The things that have already been arranged, you can't come if you don't come. The schedule is easy to say, the key is that for others, it is also a very important thing to get her appearance during the release of Zhou Cong's new album. It is operated out of favor, and the producer must have already racked his brains to prepare and invested a certain amount of manpower, material resources and time costs.

As a result, the cancellation was cancelled, which was a bit hurt.

Fortunately, no one had an attack, and no one said anything. First, Minghu Culture promised to give various compensations in all aspects at the time. For example, the new albums of Zhou Ye and Wang Nanhao, and the solo albums of Wang Jingxue and Xie Bing, all of them. Priority is given to those who missed their appointments. Another example is the vacant schedules. He Wei, Xie Mingyuan and Zou Wenhuai can help make up some of them. Even Wang Huaiyu took the initiative to help pick up two programs and do interviews.

Secondly, Minghu Culture is now a giant in the domestic music scene. Although Minghu Culture itself is easily reluctant to offend various media, but various media have little confidence to directly break up with Minghu Culture.

In short, everyone was a little unhappy in their hearts, and things just passed.

It's been a busy week, and a week of immense concern.

The top and bottom of Minghu Culture are too busy to touch the ground, and the dealers and distributors who have signed distribution agreements with Minghu Culture all over the country are also too busy to touch the ground.

But this busyness will not cause anyone to complain at all, and everyone is happy.

Even before this week has passed, a lot of news has been quietly circulated in the circle of release and the circle of record companies.

Minghu Culture started to distribute goods across the country last Tuesday. As a result, this Tuesday, "Red Bean" has only been on the market for two days. That night, Minghu Culture urgently seconded a batch of wagons and started the second round of distribution!

And it is said that in many places across the country, "Red Bean" will be sold out of stock in an instant!

Not to mention that on the first day of this album's release, speakers of various sizes in the streets and alleys of the country have collectively changed to this album, and they sang "Red Bean" from north to south.

Because of this, many magazines, newspapers, variety shows, radio stations, etc., including a large number of freelance writers and music critics, have already turned out all the past materials of Dongguan Bookstore in advance. , Start preparing materials for the next program or manuscript.

The No. 1 best-selling album in the history of Dongguan Bookstore in the first week of listing is "Once You". It was Li Qian himself, Liao Liao again, and Rose Power again. The best-selling record in the second week of listing is the four beauties, Li Qian, He Runqing, Liao Liao, and Rose Power.

The "Once You" of the Four Great Beauty Bands climbed to the top, with more than 140,000 copies in the first week, no one can match it, but Liao Liao's highest first-week record was over 40,000 copies, which is still worth fighting for.

Considering that Zhou Cong's last album "Wizard's Tears" did not have Li Qian's bonus, it had reached 27,963 copies in the first week. During the hot-selling period of that album, the highest sales data came from the second week, which was 33,168 copies, so this time With the addition of Li Qian, and the quality of the album itself is indeed so excellent, and although Zhou Ai did not come out to do any publicity, the evaluation of this album from all over the country is one-sided, so, Many people estimate that the album's first-week sales in Dongguan Bookstore will be around 40,000 copies!

If it is higher, it may be more than 40,000, or even 50,000. It will break the second-place record held by Liao Liao. If it is lower, it should be around 35,000. Of course, there is no hope of breaking the record. , but the best-selling hit album is sure to be stable.

Everyone in the industry sits together and occasionally chats. For this inference, most of them have an attitude of approval, and when they talk, they can't help but talk about Zhou Ai's wayward these years. Li Qian and Zhou Ai, the first four weeks are up and down, It's what they deserve! Even those who compete directly against each other cannot be said to have any feeling of envy, jealousy and hatred.

So, under such circumstances, on Monday, July 4th, the album sales chart of Dongguan Bookstore was released on time. And once this list was released, it immediately exploded the entire entertainment industry!

121,627 sheets in the first week!

Many people stared at the simple six-digit number with wide eyes. After watching it for several minutes, they couldn't believe that "Once You" borrowed the ten-minute momentum of the Spring Festival Gala's popularity, plus Li Qian's reputation, and the accumulation of fans of the last album of the four beauties, has only soared into the sky, but before and after the release of "Red Bean", Zhou Ai did not even show a face!

Dongguan Bookstore's first-week best-selling record ranked second!

It is three times that of Liao Liao's best-selling "Woman Flower"!

The entire record industry was shocked!

The sales volume of the album itself is just one of the eye-popping surprises. The most important thing is that the album was flat when it was released, which made everyone feel that its popularity is not enough to support this level of sales!

But unfortunately, it just sold so many!

As soon as the sales rankings came out, many reporters contacted the main store of Dongguan Bookstore for the first time, and interviewed a deputy general manager of Dongguan Bookstore. As a result, the other party personally confirmed that the data was correct, and that every sales volume was in Inside the Dongguan Bookstore, there are sales data that can be queried!

As soon as the news came out, there was no doubt about it!

The only thing left in everyone's mind is surprise!

It's true that the album "Red Bean" is good, especially for many professionals, this album is so perfect that it is flawless, textbook-level, hall-level, these titles, you can feel at ease at it Say hello without feeling any compliments. But that's the way it is. Music critics rate a work as perfect, but it may not necessarily be a big hit among fans!

To a certain extent, the tastes and judging standards of music critics are very different from those of fans!

There is a precedent that good things cannot be sold at good prices, but there are!

So, word of mouth doesn't mean anything!

And what can provide a counter-example is that "First Experience of Love", which was attacked by almost the entire music critics and music circles two months ago, although it is very controversial, it did not delay its big sale at all!

Besides, the reason why Zhou Hao's "Red Bean" is highly praised by music critics is of course because all ten songs of this album are top-notch in terms of lyrics, music, arrangement, production and singing. The standard of the album, but there is another factor that cannot be ignored is the overall style of this album, which is a bit cold!

It's not surprising that Zhou Ai's previous path has always been cold and aloof. On the one hand, it has limited her acceptance by more fans and limited sales. On the other hand, it has easily promoted her. As a singer, it is not easy to get close, and it is called a goddess!

When it came to this piece of "Red Bean", although Li Qian did the work for her, Li Qian did not bring too much firework to her new work, but instead made the whole album based on Zhou Wei's original. Raised a level, became more aloof, even more inhumane!

This kind of style, whether it is music critics or inside the music circle, many people are obsessed with it, but in the final analysis, for the vast majority of ordinary fans, it still has a sense of distance. Therefore, Zhou Ai's previous treatment has always been popular in the comment circle and inside the music circle, but the sales of the album after the release has never reached the level of popularity.

I thought that this "Red Bean" should generally follow this route!

Even, although everyone loves this album very much in their hearts, when they evaluate its sales and positioning in their hearts, they still subconsciously think that as long as this album can continue the "Witch's Tears" A score is not a failure!

After all, it is really quite cold, and the old saying is that it is not down to earth!

But who would have thought that it could sell more than 120,000 copies in its first week?

It's not over yet!

On Wednesday, July 6th, the Voice of China Radio Station's Golden Songs on Demand list was released, which once again shocked the entire record industry!

In the past week, that is, the first week of "Red Bean", all ten songs of this album have been listed on the list. Despite the revision, the Voice of China's Golden Songs on Demand list has changed from only recording the top ten songs. The list is made to extract the top 30, but that change has little significance for Zhou Ai's "Red Bean", except to prove that her only two works that did not make the top ten are still strong. outside!

Yes, "Red Bean" holds eight of the top ten spots on the Voice of China's Golden Melody On Demand list!

And even the two songs that didn't make it to the top ten were ranked eleventh and fourteenth, and they were only one step away from being on the list!

This situation has not happened for a long time!

When this kind of situation first appeared in the domestic music scene, Feixiang Band, He Runqing and Liu Mingliang all once achieved a single album with four songs entering the top ten at the same time. Liao Liao's first album "Liao Liao" historically put The record was rewritten with five songs on the chart at the same time, that was five years ago in 1995!

In the one or two years after that, Li Qian successively produced "Sister and Sister Stand Up" and "The Boy Opposite Look Over" for Wuxing Wusu, and "The Sound of the Wave" for Liao Liao. Those three albums, at that time, were like gods blocking gods and Buddha blocking Buddhas, and they rewrote and occupied the top ten records of the golden song list again and again.

The highest score was Liao Liao's "The Sound of the Waves", with nine songs occupying the chart at the same time. At first glance, the list had Liao Liao's name written all over it, which looked spectacular and intimidating. !

After the establishment of Li Qian Studio and Minghu Culture, Liao Liao's "Grateful Heart" and He Runqing's "Dream Chaser" were launched successively. Of course, these two albums refreshed the sales of domestic records again and again. The record is a big hit across the country and even in Asia, but it is difficult to regain the pomp on the Voice of China's golden song on-demand list, at least it is a downward curve.

The highest record of "Grateful Heart" was eight songs on the list at the same time, and "Dream Chaser" was six. And by that time, the record industry was developing rapidly and competition was intensifying, and the time they stayed on the list was even more It is not as good as the previous so-called hegemony. On a larger level, it is about sales, not the on-demand list of golden songs!

Going forward, to "The False Monk" by the Four Great Beauty Bands, to Liao Liao's "Woman Flower" and He Runqing's "The Price of Love", this trend of dominating the list is getting weaker day by day. Although the first album "super-star" is very popular, it only has six songs on the list at the same time.

To put it simply, no matter how powerful Li Qian is, and the songs in his hand are awesome, but so many top musicians in China are not dry. In the beginning, the works in Li Qian's hands have a strong first-mover advantage and lead the way. The role of the trend, of course, is to kill the Quartet! But after the domestic musicians are stimulated, even if the overall response is slow, it will take two or three years to improve to a certain extent!

The works in Li Qian's hands, and his productions, are still gold-lettered signs, and good songs are still good songs, but that kind of **** situation is hard to come by again.

In fact, in recent years, quite a number of singers represented by Li Xinru, Huang Yuqing, Zheng Guofeng, etc. have become popular one after another. In addition to the Li Qian faction in the domestic music scene, there will also be such a group every once in a while. Two stunning new albums or works!

Li Qian, as well as singers from Minghu Culture, still stand at the peak of the music world and overlook all beings, but the music world has long ceased to be the same music world as it was in 1995. The Chinese music world in recent years can definitely be called A hundred flowers bloom and a hundred schools of thought contend!

Therefore, when discussing the restructuring of the golden song on-demand list, there was a wave of discussions in the industry. In many programs, some guests spoke with certainty about this issue: In the current music world, Li Qian is no longer the only one who dominates the world. It's time! As a very direct feedback on the golden song on-demand list, even if Li Qian's "Once You" is so popular, only six songs occupy the top ten!

Why?

Because other people and other singers are also getting stronger and stronger!

Therefore, the industry consensus: no one can dominate the golden song on-demand list anymore! Even Li Qian, Liao Liao, He Runqing, Rose Power, the Four Beauties, or Xinfu Zhao, Zheng Guofeng, and Huang Yuqing, if they can have four to five songs on the list at the same time, it is already a fork. No way!

It is estimated that only Li Qian or Liao Liao ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ can make six songs on the list at the same time!

Note that it is only possible!

But unfortunately, this big discussion has just passed and less than a year has passed. Even Li Qian's "First Experience of Love" was so popular that only five songs were on the list at the same time in the first week, although it was the second Weekly, "Castle William" and "Indian Turtledove" unexpectedly hit the charts, but seven songs dominated the charts for only one week. By the next week, three songs dropped out of the top ten. In addition to the top song, there are still five songs that stay in the top ten together!

Liao Liao's hegemonic ability to clean up the list from the peak period is no longer the same.

What's more, this time it was Zhou Hao!

Zhou Ai's love songs have always been known for being very stylish, and they are the favorites of literary youth and petty bourgeoisie.

"Wizard's Tears" sold so well that it has sold a million copies so far. It was released that year, and the highest record was only two songs on the list at the same time! The title song "Wizard's Tears" stayed a little longer, for four weeks, and the other song only stayed in the top ten for two weeks before it fell off the list!

But now, she actually managed to have eight songs on the charts on one album at the same time?

And it's still... the first week?

More and more... Such a cool to high-cold album!

More, more and more... Before and after the album was released, Zhou Ai didn't even show a face!

The entire recording industry, music critics and media circles have not recovered from the huge impact brought by the sales of more than 120,000 copies in the first week, and they have seen such a golden song on demand list again. Immediately, the group was stunned!

This is not only unscientific, it is simply unscientific!
