After failing the college entrance examination, he became a big star

Chapter 416
around lunch.

Huacan Music Studio, Time Records, and Rolling Snow Records successively announced the release dates of Ning Lan, Tan Guangyue, and Shu Zhen, all next Monday.

Shu Zhen, who had already arrived on Hong Kong Island and checked into a certain hotel, was having lunch at the restaurant, when she heard the news from Feng Ling, she suddenly lost her appetite.

Feng Ling reassured: "Shu Zhen, don't think too much about it. Your release time was set last week, and the factory has also started dubbing. There is little hope of delaying it."

"I know, fighting for it is better than nothing." Shu Zhen sighed and said, "But the problem is, Murphy and He Jingyun had such high sales last week, and next week will be the third week of their album release. I can't be more optimistic about the peak sales volume."

After a pause, he continued: "What's more, Ning Lan's popularity and album quality are no worse than theirs, and Tan Guangyue's album features works by Li Kai."

Without going on, he shook his head slightly, bitterness appeared on his face.

Feng Ling also knew that the situation was not optimistic, but she still cheered on her face: "Mr. Ge is also a great songwriter, and has three triple platinums. This time, the two songs are tailor-made for you. You may not be able to open up with Li. Let’s compete with each other’s works, besides, there is also the popularity bonus of the metal bird band.”

Shu Zhen looked at her, squeezed out a forced smile, and nodded slightly: "I hope."

After lunch, Shu Zhen took a walk in the hotel garden for half an hour, then went back to her room for a nap, and woke up almost 4 o'clock.

When I left the room, I saw Feng Ling and her assistant reading a newspaper in the living room, so I walked over, picked up one, and the pupils of my eyes shrank slightly as I swept my eyes.

The deputy editor-in-chief of the Daily Entertainment News wrote an article on the front page, which was about the outlook for the record market for this week and next week.

The conclusion is that this week will be the peak of the collision between the first day and the uncrowned queen, and the record market may have an extreme two-share dominance situation. With Ning Lan's release next week, it will enter the three-day competition. More than 90% of the records in the market may be 5% lower than the expected sales volume.

And such a conclusion is not aimless. There are detailed discussions in the article, which makes sense!

After reading it, Shu Zhen let out a sigh of relief, and took two more newspapers from the assistant, one for Entertainment Express and one for Entertainment Most Current, as if they had a tacit understanding, and they also had the same prediction article on the front page, and the conclusions were similar. Almost, this week and next week, and even next week, the record market will be ruled by three days later.

After reading the two newspapers again, Shu Zhen didn't gnaw, and went to get the newspaper in Feng Ling's hand, but Feng Ling didn't give it, but pressed it on her thigh, saying: "These entertainment newspapers are a swarm of bees, and the wind is like rain. , No matter how shocking it is, don’t take it seriously.”

Shu Zhen looked at her and said, "Tiantian Entertainment, Entertainment Express, and Entertainment were not tabloids at the time, and the article about the forecast of the record market in the next few weeks was written by either the deputy editor-in-chief or the number one music critic. It is very detailed and lists a lot of data. At that time, the entertainment industry even made a comparison with December last year. Sister Feng, let me ask you, do you think the situation in December last year will happen again?"

Feng Ling choked for a moment, seeing Shu Zhen's serious expression, she opened her mouth, but she didn't dare to say anything negative after all!

Shu Zhen waited for a while, as if thinking of something, she suddenly asked, "Last weekend, how did the box office of Murphy and Ning Lan's tour go?"

Hearing her abrupt question, Feng Ling's eyes twitched. After a moment of hesitation, she said, "Murphy's box office is 92.7, and Ning Lan's box office is 99.8."

Thinking of the related report in an entertainment newspaper that was pressed on her lap, she added: "Ning Lan not only sold out the venue, but until the end of the concert, there were still tens of thousands of fans outside the venue who failed to buy tickets."

Shu Zhen's face became serious after hearing this: "Murphy's venue has nearly 4 people, Ning Lan's venue has more than 1 people, and the 3 people outside the venue is equivalent to more than 2 people. The concert box office records, right?"

Feng Ling nodded, with a bitter expression on her face: "Yes, the previous record was that four games were held at the same time, and the total box office was more than 4."

Shu Zhen continued: "In December last year, Tan Guangyue, Xu Qiaoling, and He Jingyun released their albums every other week, and they both broke 20 sales in just two weeks, making it difficult for other singers to break the 10 mark. Once, let alone breaking 20 sales in three days, even breaking 30 sales is not uncommon, do you think other singers still have a way out?"

Feng Ling smiled wryly, if it is true that the three of them break 30 at the same time, even if the current record market is much bigger than last December, there must be corpses everywhere.

30 in a single week, that means the birth of three triple platinum records, and even the birth of [-] gold records!

The assistant was a little confused and said, "Sister Shu, what should I do? The company has already announced your release date, so you can't change it."

Shu Zhen didn't answer the call, looked at the wall clock on the wall, and said: "I'll take a shower first, six o'clock is the Billboard, let's talk about it after reading the list."

After all, he went back to the room.

Feng Ling and the assistant looked at each other, and they saw a deep worry in each other's eyes.

At six o'clock sharp, the new issue of Billboard was announced.

The list is as follows:

First, "I Do"

Second, "Wandering"

Third, "If the Cloud Knows"

Fourth, "SUPER star"

Fifth, "You Now"

Sixth, "The Woman in the Night Wind"

Seventh, "Going Home"

Eighth, "It's Better to Dance"

Ninth, "Dream Chaser"

Tenth, "Tropical Rainforest"

And in the second list, Murphy's album had three non-core hits, and He Jingyun's album had two non-core hits, exactly half of the list!

This is a somewhat suffocating list!

Murphy and He Jingyun occupied 7 seats in the first list, 5 seats in the second list, and 20 out of the 12 seats.

If it weren't for Future Girl's three hit songs, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that they would be taken over by the album two days later.

As for the top [-] songs, Li Kai increased from the previous week's six works to seven, Luo Yusheng had two, and Murphy's queen producer had one.

".I am willing to be for you, I am willing to be for you, I am willing to be for you, forget my name, even if I stay in your arms for a second, it is not a pity to lose the world, I am willing to be for you, I am willing to be for you"

Sitting in front of the TV, the three of Shu Zhen were silent, listening to the top song "I Do", the soft melody, the beautiful and infatuated lyrics, under the ethereal voice of He Jingyun, Shu Zhen's heart throbbed a little bit!
After the whole song was played, Shu Zhen suddenly took a deep breath, turned her head and said, "I want to delay the release of the video!"

Feng Ling and her assistant were all stunned.

Shu Zhen's eyes were firm: "Compared with the first title of my album, which song "I Do" do you think is of higher quality? He Jingyun's album's three titles, plus "Dream Chaser", are compared with my album's three titles." , whose quality is higher?"

The two were speechless, both of them are the works of famous songwriters. From a professional point of view, it is really hard to say whether the quality is high or low, but judging from the audience's point of view, "I Do" is more touching, obviously better than Shu Zhen's first album. It can drive sales more.

As for the three main titles of He Jingyun's album, plus "Dream Chaser", since it can be ranked first on the Billboard, it is not only a matter of quality, but also has been verified by the market. Shu Zhen's three main titles of the album are definitely not comparable .

Shu Zhen continued: "Last week's sales table, the album sales of Mo Fei and He Jingyun were so strong that other singers' records collectively dived, and now Li Kai's works accounted for 7 more songs on the Top [-] list. Now, Ning Lan still chose to release the film on the first day within five weeks of the bet, what does this mean?"

Without waiting for a response, Shu Zhen asked herself and answered: "This means that in Li Kai's mind, the first title she wrote for Ning Lan's album should be higher than "I Do", or in other words, because Ning Lan wrote at least three title songs on the album, and more than the four songs written by He Jingyun's album."

"My popularity is not as good as Ning Lan's, it's obvious, but the quality of the songs widens such a big gap, and the company wants me to release the film at the same time as Ning Lan. Die, do I still have to stretch my neck?"

Feng Ling's eyes flashed wildly, and after a while, she said with some difficulty: "Shu Zhen, you think you are too pessimistic. The record market is ever-changing, and the quality of songs is high or low. As a songwriter, you have a scale in your heart, but it is impossible to drive sales. Make accurate judgments."

Shu Zhen was unmoved: "Yes, it is impossible to make an accurate judgment, but it is possible to make a rough judgment. If there is no certainty of more than five points, how can Ning Lan release the film next week? It can be postponed until next week. , and even in the future, don’t forget that the two ends of this bet are the control of the two companies, do you think Li Kai doesn’t care?”

Feng Ling opened her mouth, as if she wanted to say something, but found that she was speechless.

The assistant's face changed a few times, and he said weakly: "But the company has announced your release date."

Shu Zhen cut her off: "Sister Feng, you should call Director Ji right now, my album has to be postponed, and I will play against Ning Lan. Su Yaqing was the original one, so I have no reason to replace her."

Feng Ling hesitated: "What if Director Ji refuses to agree?"

"I said, just to let you know. I didn't expect him to agree on the phone. We will fly back tomorrow morning. I will talk to Mr. Ge and Vice President Liao to make it clear in person. In addition, you can contact the singing field show. Today I won’t be on the show tonight, and the liquidated damages will be borne by me personally.”

Hearing what Shu Zhen said, Feng Ling knew that she had made up her mind, besides, in Feng Ling's heart, she also agreed with Shu Zhen's judgment, and when she collided with three days later, she was close to death, even if she was alive, she would still be dying.

If it happened again in March this year, and the monthly sales only reached the default platinum level, let alone expecting the company to push Shu Zhen to the top line, I am afraid that even the status of the number two female singer will be shaken.

"Okay, every time I just accept what comes and goes, this time, let's live according to our own ideas!" There was a slight silence, Feng Ling's eyes flashed brightly, and she gritted her teeth in response.
