Chapter 597 Chapter 109 This Is Unscientific!
Zhou Mo's singing ability and her vocal characteristics have made her one of the most anticipated female singers in the domestic music scene. Li Qian's ability to compose songs and produce albums is of course well-known.
The relationship between the two has been many years since the blatant war between them. During this period, Liao Liao released several albums, and even went to the United States. He became the first world-class superstar in China. He Runqing , The Power of Roses, etc., have also been praised by Li Qian, which has created a big situation in today's music scene, but after a few years, Zhou Mo only has one work by Li Qian, and it is a chorus!
Because of this, Zhou Mo's new album, which will be produced by Li Qian, is highly anticipated.
It was originally planned that there will be a lot of publicity for the release, TV stations, radio stations, newspapers, including magazine covers and interviews, and even watches and cosmetics endorsed by Zhou Mo. They are planning 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 canceled by Li Qian because of Zhou Mo's sudden pregnancy.
The new album was released, Zhou Mo did not participate in any promotion.
As far as the domestic music scene is concerned, there was only one Li Qian and the four beauties band with Li Qian as the lead singer playing this way. Other singers, big and small, including Liao Liao, must also have to do it before and after the release of the album. Go out and run some shows to promote album sales.
Now, Zhou Mo can be regarded as a husband and wife, learning from Li Qian.
But I have to say, this is really in line with Zhou Mo's personality, so she didn't even refuse, she just nodded and agreed, very happy!
Of course, there must be complaints.
I have already made an appointment. If you can’t say it, you won’t come. The schedule is okay. The key is that for others, getting her appearance during the release of Zhou Mo’s new album is also a very important thing. It’s already invested in it. It is operated out of favor, and the producer must have racked their brains to prepare and invested a certain amount of manpower, material resources and time costs.
It turned out that it was canceled when it 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 various aspects at that time, such as the new albums of Zhou Ye and Wang Nanhao, and the solo albums of Wang Jingxue and Xie Bing. Give priority to those who have missed appointments. For example, He Wei, Xie Mingyuan and Zou Wenhuai can help make up for the vacant schedule. Even Wang Huaiyu took the initiative to help accept two programs and do interviews.
Secondly, Minghu Culture is now a giant in the domestic music scene. Although Minghu Culture itself is not willing to offend various media, the media does not have much confidence to directly break up with Minghu Culture.
In short, everyone was more or less unhappy, and the matter passed like this.
It's been a hectic week, but also one of immense concern.
The top and bottom of Minghu Culture are so busy that their feet don't 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 does not cause people to complain at all, and everyone is very happy.
Even before this week has passed, a lot of news has already quietly spread in the distribution circle and the record company circle.
Minghu Culture began to distribute goods across the country last Tuesday, but this Tuesday, "Red Bean" had only been on the market for two days, and Minghu Culture unexpectedly seconded a batch of trucks that night to start the second round of distribution!
And it is said that there are so many places all over the country that "Red Bean" will be sold out in an instant!
Not to mention that on the first day this album was released, speakers of all sizes in the streets and alleys of the country had already put on this album collectively, and "Red Bean" was sung from all over the country.
Because of this, many magazines, newspapers, variety shows, radio stations, etc., including a large number of freelance writers and music critics, have already dug up all the past materials of Dongguan Bookstore in advance , and began to prepare materials for the next program or manuscript.
The best-selling album in the first week of Dongguan Bookstore’s history is "Once Upon a Time You". It was Li Qian himself, Liao Liao again, and Rose Power again. The best-selling records in the second week of listing are Four Beauties, Li Qian, He Runqing, Liao Liao, and Rose Power.
"Once Upon a Time" by the Four Great Beauties reached the top of the list, with over 140,000 copies in its first week, no one can match it, but Liao Liao's highest first-week record is just over 40,000 copies, which is still worth fighting for.
Considering that Zhou Mo's last album "Witch's Tears" did not have Li Qian's bonus, it had already reached 27,963 copies in the first week. During the hot sale period of that album, the highest sales data came from the second week, which was 33,168 copies. So this time With Li Qian's bonus, and the quality of the album itself is indeed so good, and even though Zhou Mo didn't come out to do any promotion, the evaluation of this album from all over the country is overwhelmingly praised, so, Many people estimated that the sales volume of this album in Dongguan Bookstore in the first week was around 40,000 copies!
If it is higher, it may be more than 40,000, and it is even possible to look at the threshold of 50,000 and break the second record held by Liao Liao. If it is lower, it should be around 35,000. There is no hope of breaking the record , but the best-selling hit album must also be firmly established.
Everyone in the industry sits together and occasionally chats, and most of them agree with this inference, and as they talk, they can't help talking about Zhou Mo's willful years-Li Qian and Zhou Mo, the first 40,000 sheets Up and down, they deserve it! Even if it is a person who competes directly, there is no feeling of envy, jealousy or hatred.
So, under such circumstances, on Monday, July 4th, Dongguan Bookstore's record sales rankings were released on time. And once this list was released, it immediately blew up the entire entertainment industry!
121627 in the first week!
Many people stared wide-eyed at the simple six-digit number, and couldn't believe it for several minutes—"Once Upon a Time" took advantage of the ten-minute momentum of the Spring Festival Gala, and added Li Qian's reputation and the accumulation of fans from the last album of the Four Great Beauties made it skyrocket, but before and after "Red Bean" came out, Zhou Mo didn't even show her face!
Dongguan Bookstore ranked second in the first week's best-selling record!
It is three times that of Liao Liao's best-selling "Female Flower"!
The entire recording world was shocked!
The eye-popping sales of the album itself is just one of them. The most important thing is that the mediocrity of this album when it was released made everyone feel that its popularity is simply not enough to support this level of sales!
But unfortunately, it sold so much!
As soon as the sales rankings came out, many reporters immediately contacted the head office of Dongguan Bookstore 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 at Inside 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 is true that the album "Red Bean" sounds good, especially for many professionals, this album is perfect to the point of no blemish, textbook level, palace level, these titles, you can feel confident about it Greet without feeling any suspicion of being lavish. But the thing is like this, music critics rated it as a perfect work, but it may not be really popular among fans!
To some extent, the tastes and criteria of music critics are very different from those of fans!
There are precedents of good things not being sold at good prices, but there are!
Therefore, word of mouth does not mean anything!
And what can provide a counter-example is that "The First Experience of Love", which was attacked by almost the entire music critics and music circles two months ago, although it was extremely controversial, it did not delay its big sale at all!
Besides, the reason why Zhou Mo's "Red Bean" has been highly praised by music critics is because all ten songs in this album are top-notch in terms of lyrics, music, arrangement, production and singing. level, but there is another factor that cannot be ignored - the overall style of this album is a bit cold!
This is not surprising, Zhou Mo's previous path has always been cold and cold, which on the one hand restricted her from being accepted by more fans and sales, and on the other hand, promoted her easily. Compelling as a singer—the one who is not easy to approach is called a goddess!
When it comes to "Red Bean", even though Li Qian did it for her, Li Qian didn't bring too much fireworks to her new work. Raising a higher level, becoming more aloof, and even more unearthly!
This style, whether it is music critics or inside the music industry, many people are so fans that they don't want it, but in the final analysis, for the vast majority of ordinary fans, it still has a sense of distance. Therefore, Zhou Mo's previous treatment has always been well-received in the commentary circle and the music circle, but the sales volume of the album after its release has never reached the level of being popular.
I thought that this piece of "Red Bean" should generally follow this route!
Even though everyone loves and is extremely optimistic about this album, when evaluating its sales volume and positioning in their hearts, they still subconsciously believe that as long as this album can continue the "Witch's Tears" A score is already considered a failure!
After all, it is really quite cold, the old saying is not down-to-earth!
But who would have thought that it could sell more than 120,000 copies in its first week?
This is not the end!
On July 6th, on Wednesday, the Voice of China radio station's Golden Melody On-Demand list was released, which once again shocked the entire record industry!
In the past week, that is, in the first week of "Red Bean"'s release, all ten songs of this album were on the list-although after a revision, the Voice of China's Golden Songs On-Demand List has changed from the original one that only recorded the top ten. , changed to excerpt the top 30 to make the list, but that change has little significance for Zhou Mo's "Red Bean", except to prove that her only two works that did not enter the top ten Still strong outside!
That's right, "Red Bean" occupies eight of the top ten on the Voice of China's Golden Songs on-demand list!
And even the two songs that didn't enter the top ten ranked eleventh and fourteenth respectively, only one step away from being on the list!
This situation has not happened for a long time!
When this situation first appeared in the domestic music scene, Flying Band, He Runqing, and Liu Mingliang all had an album with four songs entering the top ten at the same time. Liao Liao's first album "Liao Liao" historically put this The record was rewritten to five songs on the chart at the same time - that was five years ago in 1995!
In the next year or two, Li Qian successively produced "Sisters and Sisters Stand Up" and "The Boy Opposite Look Over" for Wu Xing Wu Su, and "The Sound of the Waves Are Still" for Liao Liao. Those three albums, at the time, were like gods blocking gods, Buddhas blocking Buddhas, rewriting the record of occupying the top ten of the golden song charts time and time again.
The highest score was Liao Liao's "The Sound of the Waves Is Still". There were nine songs occupying the list at the same time. At that time, at a glance, Liao Liao's name was written all over the list. It looked magnificent and daunting !
After Li Qian Studio and Minghu Culture were established successively, that is, Liao Liao's "Grateful Heart" and He Runqing's "Dream Chaser" were released successively. Of course, these two albums have refreshed the sales of domestic records time and time again. Records are popular across the country and even in Asia, but on Voice of China's Golden Melody On-Demand list, it is hard to regain its glory, 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" had six songs, and at that time, the record industry was developing rapidly and competition was intensifying, and the time they stayed on the list was even more impressive. It's not as good as it used to be—the so-called hegemony refers to the sales volume on a larger level, not the golden song on-demand list!
Afterwards, from "Fake Monk" by the Four Great Beauties, to Liao Liao's "Women's Flower" and He Runqing's "The Price of Love", this trend of dominating the list has gradually weakened, and the power of roses The first album "Super-star" was very popular, but at most six songs were on the list at the same time.
To put it simply, no matter how powerful Li Qian is, no matter how good the songs in his hands are, there are so many top musicians in the country who are not able to eat. The role of the trend, of course, is to kill the Quartet! But after the domestic musicians are stimulated, no matter how slow the reaction is on the whole, after two or three years, it is enough to improve to a certain level!
Li Qian's works, and his production, are still gold-lettered signatures, and good songs are still good songs, but that kind of dominance is no longer possible.
In fact, in recent years, quite a number of singers represented by Li Xinru, Huang Yuqing, Zheng Guofeng and others have become popular one after another. In addition to Li Qian's faction, there will be such a group of singers emerging every once in a while in the domestic music scene. Two amazing new albums or works!
Li Qian, as well as the singers of the Minghu Culture Department, still stand at the peak of the music scene, overlooking all sentient beings, but the music scene is no longer the same as it was in 1995. In recent years, the Chinese music scene can definitely be called It can be said that a hundred flowers bloom and a hundred schools of thought contend!
Therefore, when discussing the restructuring of the Golden Melody on-demand list, there was a wave of discussion in the industry. In many programs, some guests have said this question with certainty: the current music scene is no longer dominated by Li Qian alone. It's time! As a very direct feedback, the Golden Songs on-demand list, even if Li Qian's "Once Upon a Time" is so popular, only six songs occupy the top ten!
Why?
Because other people, other singers are becoming stronger and stronger!
Therefore, the industry consensus: no one can dominate the Golden Melody on-demand chart anymore! Even if it is Li Qian, Liao Liao, He Runqing, Rose Power, the Four Great Beauties, or Zhao Xinfu, Zheng Guofeng, Huang Yuqing, if they can have four to five songs on the list at the same time, it is already amazing No way!
It is estimated that only Li Qian or Liao Liao can make six songs on the list at the same time, have that possibility!
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" is so popular, only five songs were on the list at the same time in the first week. Zhou, "Castle William" and "Old Indian Turtledove" unexpectedly entered the list, but the situation of seven songs dominating the list only lasted for a week, and by the next week, three songs had dropped out of the top ten. Including the top song, the five songs are still in the top ten together!
Liao Liao's ability to control the rankings like a big purge at his peak is no longer the same.
What's more, this time it was Zhou Mo!
Zhou Mo's love songs have always been known for their style, and are the favorites of literary youths and petty bourgeoisie, but they have never had any good results in the golden song on-demand list.
"Witch's Tears" sold so well that it has sold eight or nine million copies so far. When it was released that year, the highest record was only two songs on the list at the same time! The title song "Witch's Tears" stayed a little longer, four weeks, and the other song only stayed in the top ten for two weeks before being dropped off the list!
But now, she actually managed to have eight songs on the list at the same time in one album?
And it's still... the first week?
What's more, it's still... such a cold and cold album!
What's more, and still... Before and after the release of the album, Zhou Mo didn't even show her face!
The entire record industry, music critic circles, and media circles have not yet recovered from the huge impact of the first week's sales of more than 120,000 copies, and saw such a list of golden songs on demand, Immediately, the collective was stunned!
This is not only unscientific, it is simply unscientific!
