Chapter 126 High Imitation and Chinese Style
The annual grand ceremony of the pop music world is over.
On the evening of March 9, Huaxia TV broadcast the live video of the 17th Chinese Song Golden Melody Awards Ceremony.
So, in this time and space, Li Qian saw the official God's clip for the first time.
Liao Liao is still on the stage, and I thank you too, but from beginning to end, it must be her original words, but between the shots, ordinary viewers will feel that Liao Liao's acceptance speech is too ordinary and very short, besides Other than that, she couldn't hear the slightest abnormality—by cutting off the beginning and the end, all that remained of her speech was the most common thank you.
Even Li Qian's name did not appear in her acceptance speech.
At Li Qian's house that night, Qi Jie also came over to watch the TV. It was the first time she came into contact with the inside story of this level, and she was stunned. While watching, she called Liao Liao to check the original words with her, and then As they talked, the two began to compare and complain.
Of course, it doesn't matter if ordinary audiences can't see it, the core group of people in this circle heard it on the spot, and with the end of the awards ceremony, these people are bound to spread Liao Liao's words throughout the music circle.
All of a sudden, Xinda Records, which is not worth the money, is suddenly mentioned frequently in the circle - after all, everyone is mixed in this circle, and in front of the big record companies, they are all virgins. In a relatively weak position, no one would not hate this kind of people who engage in petty tricks behind the scenes.
Of course, after all, Cinda Records is one of the three major record companies in the industry after all, and no one is willing to publicly stand up and accuse them of anything, not to mention, even if they want to accuse, there is no evidence.
Although everyone knows it well, after all, everything is just speculation.
... ... ...
For the Chinese nation with thousands of years of farming traditions, the second dragon on February marks the end of the year and the beginning of a new year. For the domestic music circle, The selection of the Golden Melody Awards Ceremony on this day means that after this day, the battle and work of the new year will be on the right track.
On March 17, shortly after the Golden Melody Awards Ceremony, the first domestic girl group "Sister Tao" affiliated to Cinda Records officially released their third studio album, called "Sister Sister Sister" come together".
Just looking at the title of this album has already made many people in the circle laugh out loud.
In fact, their content is not so brilliant, from fast songs to nursery rhymes, from folk songs to Chinese style, this album and "Sisters and Sisters Stand Up" are almost carved out of the same mold!
However, although the industry ridiculed them that this is definitely an imitation, there are many people who want to copy "Sister Sister Stand Up". Even since years ago, many companies have been holding various small-scale auditions, all of which are But there are beautiful girls to choose, and at the same time, many companies have begun to provide dance training for their contracted singers. Obviously, everyone wants to take the road of fast singing and dancing, but in these companies, Xinda The speed of the record is the fastest one!
"Sisters and Sisters Stand Up" just became popular after New Year's Day, and three months later, Sister Tao Group has launched "Sisters and Sisters Come Together"! This speed is absolutely amazing!
In fact, with the help of Cinda Records' strong production capabilities, although the album of Sister Tao Group is completely following the path of "Sisters and Sisters Stand Up", the selection and production of songs are still quite good after all. At present, fast songs are suddenly popular in China, but it is not easy for fans to find fast songs in the market for a while. Although they are really purely following the trend, this album is still on the market in the first week of its release. Ranked seventh in the sales list of Dongguan Bookstore - the sales volume in a single week reached 3955 copies!
This is the best single-week result since the establishment of the Sisters Amoy Group!
This result is definitely a big hit for the Sisters Amoy Group, which was on the verge of disbanding before.
It doesn't matter if there is a lot of criticism and doubts in the circle, the key is to make the album sell well!
From the senior executives of Cinda Records, to the producers, to the girls of the sisters, it was inevitable to laugh from ear to ear for a while—even if there would definitely be a group of fans who would scold the shamelessness of this album, but That is only a minority after all. For the vast majority of ordinary fans, they just want to hear the songs they love. As for the others, who cares if you are a high imitation?
Good song is the most important thing!
So, on the sales list of Dongguan Bookstore, a very strange scene appeared——
The first place is still "Sisters and Sisters Stand Up". Although its weekly sales have dropped to barely breaking 10,000 copies, in the past three months, there have not been enough big-name singers to release albums to hit the impact. Therefore, since they entered the list until now, they have always ranked first, and they have not even encountered any decent challenges.
However, when you look down the list, you immediately find that there is actually a "Sister and Sister Stand Up" below... Well, at least more than one-third of the people suddenly found out after a moment of surprise , It turns out that the album is actually called "Sisters and Sisters Come Together"!
And in the second week, as Zhang Chang, who had just won the best album of the year, released a new album, "Sisters and Sisters Stand Up", which was gradually showing decline, fell to the second place, but "Sisters and Sisters Come Together" unexpectedly reversed. The trend has risen one place, reaching the sixth place in the sales list. At the same time, the single-week sales volume of this album unexpectedly crossed the red line of 5,000 copies in a single week, reaching an astonishing 5,028 single-week sales volume!
After two weeks, their album has sold nearly 9,000 copies in Dongguan Bookstore alone. If calculated according to the 20-fold law of Dongguan Bookstore, this basically means that the album of the sister Tao group is National sales have begun to approach 200,000 copies. This is definitely an album brought back to life for the sister group Amoy, whose previous two albums only got gold record certification!
And thanks to the outstanding performance of this album, which has attracted many people's attention in the circle, many companies immediately confirmed that it is indeed a feasible path for young and beautiful girls to sing and dance vigorously!
As a result, singers who were already discussing, preparing, or making albums in the direction of young and beautiful girls and their companies immediately accelerated their respective progress. Everyone is sharpening their knives, wanting to enter the venue quickly to eat the sweetest bite of cake in this newly developed market!
And at this time, an album called "Fenghuaxue" was released.
The publisher and producer of the record are all well-known large record companies in the circle - Times Records, and the producer of the album is also a well-known producer of Times Records in the circle, but the singer is just a former The faceless newcomer.
His name is Huang Feng.
Normally, every spring is the best time for a newcomer to release a film. At first glance, this "Fenghuaxue" is indeed a very ordinary newcomer album. At best, judging from the producer, this one called Huang Feng A male singer should be regarded as a newcomer that the records of the next era will focus on.
However, as soon as this album was released, it quickly attracted great attention within the music circle.
Because the main track of this "Fenghuaxue" is actually Chinese style!
An album of ten songs, among which five capitals are Chinese style, and although the other five are ordinary urban love songs, they follow a very graceful and classical way-obviously, everyone will understand when the album is released , after Liao Liao and He Runqing, the first person to stand up and eat crabs appeared.
Many people in the industry bought the album back home in the first few days after it was released, disassembled and analyzed it bit by bit, and finally came to the result. The two songs in this album are mainly Chinese style, and the lyrics are very well written. Elegant, to be honest, it is much stronger than Li Qian's so-called Chinese-style lyrics that are like the vernacular. The two songs are a bit different, but they are still quite listenable.
Therefore, countless people in the industry can't help but look at the sales rankings of Dongguan Bookstore.
Times Records' promotion of this album is quite strong, which shows that their expectations for this singer named Huang Feng and this "Fenghuaxue" are also quite high.
But what is surprising is that in the week when "Sisters and Sisters Stand Up" continued to rank second, and "Sisters and Sisters Come Together" slipped one place and fell back to seventh place, "Fenghuaxue" actually only sold Ordered 1285 sheets! Ranked sixteenth!
Um, well, maybe it's because of the new singer?
Everyone continue to wait.
But in the next week, when the first title song "My Love Can't Stop" of the high imitation new album of the sister group Amoy has barely reached the tenth place on the Golden Songs On-Demand List, Times Records will obviously increase their strength. The promotion of this album is very strong, but the sales volume of "Fenghuaxue" in Dongguan Bookstore is still only 1521 copies!
Moreover, as other singers began to release new albums one after another, his ranking actually dropped by one place—only ranked seventeenth on the sales list of Dongguan Bookstore!
Although there are only two weeks of data, there is no doubt that everyone in the circle knows that this album has hit the street!
Although Times Records lost a lot of money, they probably have the heart to cry, but for the insiders, they don't have the heart to pay attention to Times Records and the fate of the singer named Huang Feng, they can't help but repeat What I'm thinking about is - can the Chinese style really become popular?
Can it be mass-created, or even mass-replicated? Or does it only belong to Li Qian?
Or, maybe Times Records' "Flowers and Snow" simply went the wrong way? Can't this negate the fans' expectations for Chinese style songs?
