Chapter 102 Chapter 101   This day!

To some extent, everything in this world is easy to rest on its laurels.

Without external stimuli, all evolution and progress would be difficult.

Specifically in terms of culture and art, it is precisely because of hundreds of years of ethnic wars, foreign invasions, and cultural collisions between life and death of various ethnic groups that there are colorful poems in the prosperous Tang Dynasty. It is precisely because capitalism The germination and development of the European Renaissance was due to the emergence of a large number of citizens.

There is no shortage of geniuses in any era, but without a little bit of external stimulation and change, countless geniuses will be wiped out in the slow evolution of self-styled and unknown.

Take the domestic music scene in that time and space that Li Qian once experienced as an example.

In the past, when people listened to Dongfanghong and the rising sun, they thought it sounded good, and when they watched mine warfare and tunnel warfare, they also thought it was really good. , everyone saw "The Man From the Bottom of the Atlantic", "Shanghai Beach", "Fearless" on TV, and then heard a lot of urban love songs from Hong Kong and Taiwan. After the complete fall of Hong Kong and Taiwan singers, a singer named Fan Linlin appeared in the domestic music scene. She used her northwest wind to sweep away the tenderness of Hong Kong and Taiwan accents. Therefore, a person named Gu Jianfen founded under extremely difficult conditions. A vocal music training center was established, and since then, another unrestrained voice has appeared in the Chinese music scene.

Thirty years later, if the voices of Hong Kong and Taiwan singers did not come, who would dare to say that domestic pop music can also develop to the level of flourishing in the 21st century?

As for the time and space that Li Qian is currently in, after more than half a year of careful observation, to be honest, if you compare the same age, the economy of this time and space is much more developed than the economy of the time and space he experienced in 1995 and 1996. Not much, but I don’t know if it’s because of the lack of stimulation from Hong Kong and Taiwan music of the same culture. In this time and space in 1995, the mainstream of domestic pop music is still folk songs and folk songs. Even with the economic development, urban Prosperous urban love songs that are supposed to be increasingly prosperous are hard to call success.

Although the government does not restrict record companies from importing foreign music records, they can be sold on domestic shelves as long as they pass the review, but various domestic publicity channels, including radio stations, TV stations, newspapers, magazines, etc., are all controlled by the government. In the hands, they obviously do not serve the purpose of foreign music.

Without strong publicity, although there are still some people who will listen to foreign music, but to be honest, in terms of the whole society, these people are too few, but it is just a drop in the ocean, and it is impossible to affect anything.

Therefore, in such a big environment, Chinese music moves forward step by step along with its own inherent tones. Although some welcome changes are made occasionally, it is easy to be submerged in the whole society. In the huge trend of inertia, it tends to disappear into obscurity.

Maybe... Li Qian once imagined that if he and no one else brought some stimulation and changes to the domestic music scene, maybe he really had to wait until the Internet era came. With the invasion of foreign culture, will the domestic Chinese music scene be forced to make some adjustments by fans?

He didn't know, and couldn't guess.

At least in the current 1995 and 1996, obviously, although the computer technology in this time and space seems to be much more advanced than that in the original time and space, and the process of Internetization is also much faster, but it is obvious that if we really want to reach the level of the Internet for all people There are still many years to go.

But by chance, Li Qian came.

As early as when Liao Liao's five songs became popular, Li Qian couldn't help thinking that maybe, whether intentional or not, these outstanding works he brought from another time and space would act as a catalyst effect?

Fortunately, Liao Liao became popular!

Whether it is the light rock love songs of "Perseverance" and "Wild Flowers", or the Chinese style of "Unfinished Love", or the pure Northwest wind country ballad of "My Hometown of Passionate Love", all of them have won domestic fans in this time and space. recognition.

Therefore, Li Qian resolutely signed the producer contract with Huage Records.

He would rather take out a song like "Farewell", which is sure to be unstoppable for the girls based on the singing skills of the five elements and Wusu, and push the fast songs to this time and space and this era.

He tried his best to shape those five girls into national idols in the domestic music scene in this time and space!

If these works from another time and space can really become the stimulant that prompts the current domestic music scene to accelerate the evolution, then, even if it is inevitable that there will be a lot of harassment from various sources, Li Qian is not afraid.

As a musician, as a person who loves music, he is eager to see and know that when faced with the sudden invasion of such mature and commercial music, the current outstanding domestic music What kind of musical works will the talented musicians and quasi-musicians come up with to fight against when they are stimulated!

Perhaps, this is the greatest significance of his rebirth in this time and space, isn't it?

... ... ...

On the first day of 1996, Liao Liao, a well-known and popular singer, visited Li Qian’s parents in Jinan Prefecture in a very low-key way, and stayed at home for a lunch under the warm hospitality of Li’s parents. He also signed autographs and took a group photo for the dozen or so children waiting in the community downstairs, and then sat on the back seat of Li Qian's bicycle and left the Shengshi Garden community.

And this matter, apart from having a certain impact in Shengshi Garden Community and a few nearby schools, is almost unknown.

But when Liao Liao followed Li Qian to visit Li's father and mother in a low-key manner, and then stayed at home for lunch, an event that was destined to shake the domestic music scene, and even destined to be recorded in the annals of domestic music, happened. up.

On this morning, I don't know how many people - there are students in their teens, young people in their twenties, of course, there are also many middle-aged people who are already in their 30s and 40s - on New Year's Day During the holiday break, they went to the video store they usually go to, took out their wallets, and bought a box of albums called "Sisters and Sisters Stand Up".

Although more than ten hours ago, they still knew nothing about the song and the singer.

But here they are.

Some people may ask, is there an album of Wu Xing Wu Su? This is easy to find.

Some people may also ask, is there a song called "Sister and Sister Stand Up"? This is also easy to handle.

But some people will ask, is there a song "Farewell"? It's the one sung by five girls, do you know which album it's in?

At first, most of the salespeople were a little confused, but soon they realized that everyone was asking about the same album!

In the two days when the album "Sisters and Sisters Stand Up" was released nationwide, distribution companies across the country were desperately dispatching goods to various stores, because according to the rules, if it cannot be sold or is not easy to sell, as long as If you don't open the package, you can return it within one month, and the usual habit is to sell it first and then give money, so although countless audiovisual stores don't like this album distributed in large quantities, most of them still accept it.

It's just that, apart from taking out a copy and putting it on the shelves, everything else has been thrown into the warehouse, and many stores are not even willing to open a box of trial broadcasts - they have to pay for the unpacking.

In fact, Wu Xing Wu Su's new album has neither the reputation of the past nor the support of die-hard fans, and even did not have any publicity work at that time. The only thing that can be regarded as publicity is that it was printed in large quantities for free Most of the promotional posters for audiovisual stores, big and small, were stuffed directly into the warehouse by the audiovisual stores. Therefore, before Dragon TV's New Year's Eve Song Concert was broadcast, the sales of this album were indeed very low.

On December 26th, this album was officially launched nationwide. In just two or three days, Huage Records sold more than 1.6 million copies across the country—according to the estimates of the publicity department. In total, they have produced up to 2 million tapes and 400,000 CDs, and hope to basically sell them out within a year.

However, considering that Liao Liao's album was out of stock at the time of sale, which affected the final sales results, Huage Records finally decided to sell more than half of the goods, and let each store sell slowly. Strategy.

As it turned out, this strategy helped them a lot!

The New Year's Day holiday, when all the people are on holiday, is the busiest time in the service industry and the best time for business. No one is foolish enough to close their stores on this day, and the same is true for audio-visual stores.

So, when the video store opened, when the first person came in to ask, when the second person came in to ask, when many people started to come in and ask, from the ordinary salesperson to the boss, everyone was quickly alarmed.

As a result, all those tapes and CDs that had been thrown into the warehouse waiting to be returned were quickly taken out.

At the same time, almost all the audio-visual stores on the street noticed something unusual, so almost all the audio-visual stores began to put the same tape and the same CD in their players!

On this day, from the snowy Northeast to the drizzle in Lingnan, from Jishun Tianfu, the capital of the country, to the colorful clouds in Nankun. A cutest" voice, sang all over the streets and alleys of the north and south of the river.

It can be said that as long as you take to the streets on this day, whether it is a bustling metropolis or a small county that is a little behind, basically, you will definitely be directly brainwashed by this song.

On this day, many staff members sent by Huage Records returned to the company after completing the street investigation, and they almost agreed with one voice that the company should immediately increase the estimated sales rating for this album.

It was also on this day that the Wuxing Wusu group, which was stranded in Songjiang Prefecture after receiving an invitation from the Oriental Satellite TV Variety Channel after participating in the recording of the New Year's Eve New Year's Eve Song Concert, was discovered by fans who were buying albums when they went out to inquire about album sales. , and soon caused siege and onlookers, which once caused the traffic on the street they went to to be paralyzed. In the end, it was the police who appeared in time to rescue the terrified girls.

When the national sales data was released more than 20 days later, it was confirmed by the National Recording Industry Association that the sales volume of the album "Sister Sister Stand Up" on this day was as high as 174,391 copies!

Based on the sales volume of this day alone, "Sisters and Sisters Stand Up" can directly enter the domestic music scene and rank seventeenth in the history of weekly sales of albums!

It is precisely because of this day that, after many years, 1996 is known as the first year of idols in the domestic music scene!
