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

Chapter 565 Unprecedented Airborne

After the sales list was released, the results of the votes for the most popular programs at the May Day Gala held by TV stations in the four major first-tier cities were also announced one after another.

First of all, in Guangzhou City, the very boy ranked first with a slight advantage of less than 5 votes, overtaking Li Jie.

Then there is Shanghai Magic City, where Li Zhihui surpassed Guo Yifu by more than 1 votes and ranked first.

Then there is the capital, An Guilong won the first place with more than 13 votes, surpassing the second place Zhao Yongkang with as many as 4 votes
As the marketing departments of various TV stations faxed the data sheets to the major record companies, the entire music circle fell into a depression like a dark cloud.

People can't help but feel a sense of powerlessness in defeat.

In the record market, the singers of Xiaohan sold one after another, while the singers of Huaguo hit the street one after another. Even if Liu Mingliang and Nie Xinlan chatted like this for a few times, the sales remained at a normal level, but they were still being sold. Little Korean singers are firmly on their heads, and if they are hyped by the media, they will easily become nourishment for boosting the little Korean wave.

The four-festival evening shows, the most popular program selection vote rankings, is the most intuitive manifestation of the singer's current popularity.

Although Li Jie, Guo Yifu, and Zhao Yongkang are not at the top, they are all heavenly kings, quasi-kings, but they are all compared to Xiaohan singers.

You know, the very boys are just young men from Xiaohan, and they haven't released a record yet. An Guilong is the king of the Asian region, and it's only a month ago that he entered the field of vision of the Chinese people.

How is this done?
There is only one explanation, the small Korean wave has changed from a hot trend to a trend, just like the rock wind that blew up in the late 80s, as long as it is a rock record, the sales will not be bad. Super first-line popularity is no exception.

Under the trend, no matter how big-name singer you are, it is difficult to stop it.

The only suspense is whether the Little Korean Wave will become a temporary trend like the rock style back then, or it will become the absolute mainstream of the lyrical slow songs after the [-] war.

Judging from the current trend, it seems to be more inclined to the latter. The turmoil of the small Korean wave is unprecedented in the history of the domestic music scene, and it was even more prosperous when the lyrical and slow songs stood out from the multi-genre.

It's really hard to be optimistic.

Until, before lunch, the data from the Shenzhen City TV Station came out, like a ray of light shooting into the darkness, and like a ray of hope injecting into despair.

Li Kai won the first place. Not only that, the number of votes exceeded 12, breaking the historical record of the four-session Shenzhen Gala, and leaving the second place PINKS behind by nearly 5 votes.

On a train departing from Shenzhen City to Shanghai.

After picking up the phone, Qiao Li recounted the results of the selection of the most popular programs at the May Day Gala in the four major first-tier cities last night.

"Guo Tianwang has not broken triple platinum for several albums, and he doesn't usually show up for exposure. He is completely semi-retired and his popularity is not at its peak. Li Tianwang and Zhao Zhun Tianwang are much worse than Guo Tianwang in popularity. Sister Zuo Ning, Sister Mo, Jingyun, Qiaoling, and even future girls will not lose to those little Korean singers."

Li Kai was yawning, feeling a little downcast. He returned to China the day before yesterday, spent the night on the plane, and slept intermittently for less than 4 hours. When he got home last night, it was past [-] o'clock, and he really fell asleep after [-] o'clock in the morning. Woke up, lack of sleep time.

Qiao Li looked at him: "Are you sure?"

Without waiting for Li Kai to answer, she said again: "If you are really so sure, why should Hua Ge, Ni Suo and Dai Shi hide them?"

Li Kai shrugged: "Ghost knows."

Qiao Li pondered for a while, and said: "The reason is very simple, I'm not sure, they are the face of each record company, and they can't rashly collide with Xiao Han's singer, whether it's a record or a party."

Li Kai was a little speechless: "Isn't it because Brother Liang and Li Zhihui released the film on the same day, and lost half of the platinum sales in the end, as for such a rumor, everything is in danger."

Qiao Li said deeply: "Since the establishment of Huacan last year, it has been making great progress all the way, but Guo Yifu, Li Jie, Murphy, He Jingyun, Xu Qiaoling, Tidal Group, Sunshine Band, Nie Lanxin, have not released films one by one, Have those giant records backed away? Gunxue even made a bet when Huacan was in the limelight. But this time, why did they avoid the edge?"

Li Kai realized something and blinked his eyes: "Why?"

"Just not sure."

Seeing that Li Kai rolled her eyes, Qiao Li explained: "The singers under Huacan have sold so many records, not because of the songs you wrote, but the famous songwriters in the circle are not convinced, at least those songs of yours. They can understand it and think they can write it.”

After a pause, the conversation suddenly changed: "But facing Xiao Han's songwriters, they lost their confidence. Over the years, in the Asian music scene, Xiao Han and the singers from the island country have been on equal footing, and the singers from the Chinese country have always been in the second echelon. This is not a singer. The gap in itself, but the overall gap in the music industry, be timid before fighting."

"Facts have also proved that it is indeed no match. Liu Huiying, Zhao Chuanxiong, Zhao Yongkang, Tao Liang, Wang Yanfen, including Liu Mingliang, their albums are all the works of big names in the circle, but they are defeated one by one."

"In addition, the works of Xiao Han's songwriters are quite different from domestic styles. They can understand them, but they can't write them. At most, they just imitate. It's not easy to imitate to surpass the object of imitation. This has led to the current situation of avoiding it."

"As for you, although the circle has never officially admitted that you are the number one songwriter, everyone knows in their hearts that you are the number one. There must always be someone to fight the storm. Others can hide from you but not from others."

"This so-called tough battle between Korean singers and Chinese singers is actually the songwriters behind the scenes wrestling."

After hearing this, Li Kai felt reasonable and nodded silently.

Qiao Li's eyes were contemplative, a sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she said: "This time, the major record companies are helping each other, so don't think it's out of good intentions to push you to the front earlier, so they can play by ear."

Li stared blankly: "What do you mean?"

"I dare say that if you lose, Huage, Nisuo, Daishi, and Becca may follow the example of Rolling Snow and Huilijing, and introduce Korean singers and even island singers to China. You will be popular He Jingyun, Xu Qiaoling, their status in the company will plummet."

Qiao Li squinted her phoenix eyes and said: "In addition, compared to these giants and quasi-giants, Huacan is at a disadvantage in terms of channel resources, and because of its five record companies and a large number of singers, it will be greatly impacted, including existing and Wagner, as well as several other record label collaborations, will be affected, in a sense, it will be worse."

"That's why I said, they didn't have any good intentions. You succeeded in sniping the little Hallyu, and they were the beneficiaries. If you failed in sniping, Huacan and the singers related to you all suffered."

Li Kai frowned slightly, and he was somewhat resistant to such a black-bellied guess, but after digesting it carefully, he felt that it was not impossible.

Qiao Li observed her words carefully and said: "I said this to tell you, don't give birth to a new product just because the major record companies are helping you to build momentum, and they also provide you with distribution channels. Feeling indebted, I am embarrassed to refuse when I ask you for a song later, you have to understand that if you write more songs for singers outside the company, the singers under the company will have less sense of belonging to the company."

Li Kai was silent for a while, and suddenly his brows relaxed, and he said with a light smile: "I have already considered the future song appointments, so I am so confident in my new album."

Qiao Li hummed: "Just based on last night's "Tornado", I didn't like it at all. After the party, I even called a few senior musicians in the circle, and their evaluation was not too good. Now the facts But it won the most popular show and surpassed PINKS 5 votes."

"Uh, what's your logic?"

"This shows that you are very accurate in controlling the trend of fashion and the preferences of fans, which is beyond the knowledge of most musicians in the circle. Even if I didn't have confidence at first, I have confidence now."

Qiao Li said bluntly: "There are several songs in your album, including several songs you wrote for the four singers under Huacan. More than [-]% of the songwriters in the circle can understand them, but they can't write them. They can't write them, and they have no confidence. Write it well, so once your album sells well, the record companies that assisted you this time will ask you to make an appointment for a song. I know you don’t want to owe favors, so I will agree to it in all likelihood, and I will give it to you early. Get a vaccination."

Li opened the corners of his mouth and twitched, as if he had a different opinion. In the end, he just shook his head, lay down on the table, buried his head between his arms, and said faintly: "Anyway, you do it for the wicked."

That night, Li opened his eyes to the live interview on Modu TV. On the show, he sang "Snail", another non-main song of the new album, an early work of Jay Chou from the previous life, an inspirational song.

On the 3rd, Li Kai and others woke up early, checked out after breakfast, went to the train station, and boarded the train bound for Jiangshi. At the same time, Time Records announced the release date of Li Kai's new album. 5th, next Monday.

This album was originally scheduled for February, but it was postponed twice in a row, and now it is finally going to be released.

On the same day, the five major video chains, with a total of more than 1 stores across the country, began to accept reservations from fans at the same time.

The sixteenth radio station, twice a day, during prime time, plays the two non-main songs of the new album "Tornado" and "Snail".

In addition, every day, Li Kai himself or the TV station broadcast live interviews, or variety shows.

The cost of preheating publicity alone is estimated to be around 150 million.

More than [-]% of the total promotional expenses for albums in the first half of the year.

It seems that this kind of publicity is not enough. Just 24 hours after Time Records announced the release time of Li Kai, at noon on the 4th, Rolling Snow Records announced that the new album of Xiaohan Tianwang An Guilong will also be released on May 5. On September 9, it will be listed and issued next Monday.

In addition, Very Boy's new album will be released next Tuesday, May 5th.

Although the circle had already expected it, and the fans had expected it, but when the duel between the Uncrowned King VS Xiaohan King really took shape, it still had a sensational effect.

Not only Li Kai faced An Guilong, but also An Guilong and Very Boys at the same time. Don't look at Very Boys as a rookie boy group. On the show, Li Jie beat Li Jie and won the most popular show, and his popularity must not be underestimated.

More than 3% of the entertainment newspapers issued after [-] pm that day, and the entertainment newspapers issued the next morning, published relevant reports on the front page.

Entertainment news from all over the world not only reported, but also took a few minutes to compare and introduce Li Kai, An Guilong, and Very Boy.

For a while, this big competition between the Uncrowned King VS Xiaohan Tianwang and Xiaohan's super rookie combination undoubtedly became the absolute focus of the media, the circle, and fans.

Even recommending the new songs on the two charts, the attention of the fierce competition between PINKS and Nie Lanxin was divided. In the end, both sides won the fifth round, each got one song in the sixth round, and each got one for the seventh round. have equal shares.

This is also the nearly two months since the release of B5, except for the one-week gap, the second time that Xiaohan singer failed to achieve double clearance of new song recommendations on the two charts.

The previous time, it was Liu Mingliang and Li Zhizhi, and they each had one of the two rankings, and there was no distinction between them.

In a blink of an eye, the May Day holiday passed, another Sunday passed, and Monday came.

At ten o'clock in the morning, the sales table was released.

Not surprisingly, PINKS jumped to the top of the list, but the sales volume is lower than the general expectation, and will break the 20 mark.

Xtreme God came second. In the fourth week of the album's release, the piracy protection period expired in 4 days, and its sales dropped by 17% to more than [-] copies.

Compared with Nie Lanxin, who ranked third and was also in the early 17, sales were less than 3 more.

The fourth to seventh place are Li Zhizhi, Liu Mingliang, Treasure Girl, and B5.

While the sales of B5 fell below the 10 mark, Treasure Girl was only less than 10 copies more than 5.

This is a severely shrunk sales list, the total sales of the top ten records, only a little over 120 million.

Since the beginning of this year, even in January when the awards ceremony of the two charts, the total sales volume of the top ten weeks has not fallen below 1 million copies.

After the release of B5, the total sales volume of the top ten broke the 150 million mark every week.

Where did the sales go?Did the record market suddenly shrink?

Soon, someone in the circle put forward a bold conjecture, it wasn't that the capacity of the record market suddenly decreased, but that Li Kai, An Guilong, and Very Boy split them up!
Last week, none of the albums of the three of them were released, and they were only in the preheating promotion, so they could share the sales, and even suppress the sales of other singers. This is too ridiculous.

However, it was such an absurd conjecture that not only spread in the circle, but was further fermented by the media.

Coincidentally, both Li Kai and An Guilong's album conferences were held at 3 pm.

At Li Kai's press conference, eleven first-line and above singers under the Huacan Group gathered to help out, while at An Guilong's press conference, the number of singers was not as many as Li Kai, but it also gathered treasure girls, extreme magic, and roll Five first-tier and above singers under Snow, as well as Xiao Han's songwriter Ryuzo and gold medal producer Guo Sen also made an appearance.

And shortly after the press conference ended, at four o'clock, the latest issue of Huanxing Entertainment News, the chief music critic gave a shocking prediction on the front page. This week, the No. 7 list of the two charts jointly occupies more than [-] songs. This will be an unprecedented airborne in the history of the two charts.
