1993 My China Entertainment Age

Chapter 73 The sales of the new album are booming, and the song god is playing!

According to the original plan, Jiang Xiaofeng's "Golden Age" album will be released in late September.

But because of the "God of Songs" Zhang Xueyou, he also released the latest Mandarin album "Have" during this period.

In order to avoid becoming cannon fodder, Xinyibao Records and Fumao Records had to urgently push back the release time of "Golden Age" by a week, to October 10rd.

The Shanghai Audiovisual Publishing House also had to adjust its strategy accordingly, changing the release date of the "Golden Era" album to October 10rd.

For the decision of the three record companies in Taiwan, Taiwan and Taiwan, not only the fans and friends who had been waiting for it were dissatisfied, Jiang Xiaofeng also bluntly stated in an interview that he felt that there was no need for the record company to postpone the release. He and Zhang Xueyou himself It is not the same type of singers, each selling their own records, without interfering with each other.

As a result, Jiang Xiaofeng's remarks were also hyped up by the media with ulterior motives. They even added that "Jiang Xiaofeng wants to challenge the status of the God of Songs", and wanted to become the fifth king of heaven, on an equal footing with him.

"Daluzai overestimates his abilities, a newcomer who just debuted, dare to compare with the song god?"

"The God of Songs is getting old, Feng Zi wants to be in charge, what's wrong?"

"A new generation replaces the old, anyway, I've been listening to "Next Year Today" recently."

"Jiang Xiaofeng should first compete with Li Keqin and Zheng Yijian for the fifth king."

"..."

Instigated by the gossip media, Jiang Xiaofeng's interview turmoil also aroused debate among many Xiangjiang fans.

But most of the local fans are supporting Zhang Xueyou, and only a few support the foreigner Jiang Xiaofeng.

Faced with the sudden rumors, the manager Chen Jiaying did not blame Jiang Xiaofeng after learning about the situation, but only told Jiang Xiaofeng to be cautious in his words and deeds in the future.

As for the public opinion among the fans, Chen Jiaying didn't care either. There is an old saying that one can lose one's horse but know that it is not a blessing. She thinks this may be an opportunity for Jiang Xiaofeng to rise to the top.

You know, since the title of "Four Heavenly Kings" has been hyped, other male singers of the same generation in Xiangjiang have become the foils of the Four Heavenly Kings. Every Xiangjiang male singer can only compete for the "fifth Great Heavenly King".

If Jiang Xiaofeng wanted to reach a higher level, he could only stand out in the Xiangjiang music scene if he surpassed any of the four kings in terms of record sales, song popularity, and awards.

As for the title of queen, before this, there were no queens in the Hong Kong music scene, but there were four female queens (Ye Qianwen, Lin Yilian, Priscilla Chan, Zhou Huimin), who were chosen in May 1992 to correspond to the "Four Heavenly Kings"!

However, the title of the Four Female Heavenly Kings was only established for three months, and it collapsed in August 1992 because Wang Fei returned from the United States.

At the end of 1992, Zheng Yuling visited Ye Qianwen and asked her: "If you (Ye Qianwen) choose the music scene in Xiangjiang, who is qualified to be the queen?"

Ye Qianwen said: "If you let me choose? The real queens, singers in the Xiangjiang music scene, Xu Xiaofeng, Amei, Wang Jingwen (Wang Fei)."

Zheng Yuling then asked: "Then there is one more?"

Ye Qianwen wanted to talk about herself, but felt that this was too shameless, so she reluctantly said: "Yi Lian!"

Of course, the reason why Wang Fei can stand out among so many female singers in Xiangjiang and become a veritable queen is not only her own strength, but also the most important reason is that her records sell well and have high commercial value.

In 1994 alone, Wang Fei released 6 albums including "Sky" and "Fantasy", and all of them were big sellers, especially the album "Sky", which sold 90 copies in Taiwan alone. , the total sales reached a terrifying 350 million.

I'm not stupid about a record company. If you don't support such a cash cow, don't start a record company at all.

Capitalists are like this. If you can sell money, you can be promoted to the sky. If you don’t sell money, they will just throw you away like garbage.

Closer to home, Jiang Xiaofeng's "Golden Era" album has not yet been released, and Jiang Xiaofeng's fans are fighting with Zhang Xueyou's fans.

On September 9, Zhang Xueyou, one of the Four Heavenly Kings, "God of Songs", officially released his latest Mandarin album - "Hold Friends".

A week before the album "Holding Friends" was released, Polygram had already released "This Winter Is Not Too Cold" and "Owned", which hit the charts in three places on both sides of the Taiwan Strait.

In just one week, two songs began to break into the major music charts in the three regions, and "This Winter Is Not Too Cold" has even started to occupy the top of some rankings one after another.

And at this moment, a song "Friends" came out halfway.

On September 9, "Ten Years" and "Because of Love, So Love" appeared on Yanjing Radio for the first time.

On that day alone, Yanjing Radio Station received more than a dozen requests for the two songs. After the two songs were broadcast by the Central Radio Station, the rate of requests for the two songs on the station skyrocketed.

On September 9th, "Friends" appeared on China Central Radio's music charts for the first time, ranking fifth at the beginning.

The next day, "Ten Years" also appeared on the CNR list, ranking tenth, while "Friends" had reached the top three.

Entering the beginning of October, "Friends" repeatedly broke through powerful enemies in the rankings, and directly reached the top of the list. Zhang Xueyou's "This Winter Is Not Too Cold" was so far away that the taillights could not be seen, and the domestic streets and alleys also rang Jiang Xiaofeng's clear and beautiful singing voice.

Of course, Zhang Xueyou's title song "This Winter Is Not Too Cold" is not popular in itself. It is entirely because he is the song god Zhang Xuecai and has a huge fan base that he is able to rank among the top of the major music charts.

In addition, Zhang Xue has been busy holding concerts and world tour concerts for a while, and has no time to promote records.

All in all, "Friends" is on fire!
The fire of "Friends" is not only the kind of fire that spreads in the streets and alleys, but even the major campuses in the three places on both sides of the strait have started to play the song "Friends".

In addition to the popularity of "Friends", the two songs "Love Because of Love" and "Ten Years" have also begun to circulate among young people, especially among students.

10 month 3 day.

Jiang Xiaofeng's third solo album, the second Mandarin album "Golden Era", was officially released simultaneously in three places across the Taiwan Strait.

The "Golden Age" album has a total of 10 songs, which are:
1. "Friends"

2. "Ten Years"

3. "Only"

4. "Cold to the End"

5. "Love Because of Love"

6. "Your Backpack"

7. "Old Street"

8. "Are You Soon Happy"

9. "Long Time No See"

10. "The Most Beautiful"

In fact, each of the 10 songs in Jiang Xiaofeng's new album has the right to be the main song. The difference is whether it is a big hit or a small hit.

Due to the popularity of songs such as "Friends", "Ten Years", and "Love Because of Love", it also quickly drove the sales of the album "Golden Age".

On October 10, Jiang Xiaofeng's "Golden Era" was released in Taiwan, Taiwan and Taiwan for only one week, and the sales volume exceeded 10 copies.

The sales volume of the Mandarin album "Holding Friends" by the song god Zhang Xueyou, because this album does not have a masterpiece that can be popular, it has been released for two full weeks, and a total of only 23 copies were sold.

First of all, in the mainland, Jiang Xiaofeng's "Golden Age" sold 15 copies in just one week after its release, and Zhang Xueyou's album "Holding Friends" only sold 10 copies after it was released in two weeks.

Then in Taiwan Province, Jiang Xiaofeng's "Golden Age" broke through the 12 mark in the first week, and Zhang Xueyou's "Friends" was released for two weeks, with only 8 sales.

Finally, Xiangjiang, Jiang Xiaofeng's "Golden Age" sold relatively mediocrely, only 3 copies, but it was better than Zhang Xueyou's "Holding Friends", because "Having" sold only Less than 2 copies were sold.

The sales volume of Jiang Xiaofeng's "Golden Age" album has strongly surpassed Zhang Xueyou's "Friends", which also made Jiang Xiaofeng's fans feel proud.

Zhang Xueyou's fans were stubborn at first, and could refute, but from the second week of Jiang Xiaofeng's "Golden Age" release, they could only choose to shut up, because they have begun to realize that Jiang Xiaofeng's "Golden Age" A record, how terrifying is it?

In Xiangjiang, a Mongkok record store that "sees the excitement is not a big deal", in order to earn more money, deliberately hung a blackboard outside the store, writing "Real-time sales - Jiang Xiaofeng 236, Zhang Xueyou 168", stimulating fans crazy Buy.

Other record stores in Xiangjiang also followed suit, just wanting to take advantage of this wave of enthusiasm and follow suit to make a fortune, and they really made a lot of money.

In the face of absolute strength, even if Zhang Xueyou is one of the "Four Heavenly Kings" and the "God of Songs" in the Chinese music scene respected by many fans, Jiang Xiaofeng's "Golden Age" is almost crushed in the major record stores in Xiangjiang. Depressing attitude, defeated his "Friends" this record.

In the second week after Jiang Xiaofeng's "Golden Age" was released, the total sales volume in the mainland, Taiwan and Taiwan successfully broke through the terrifying 80 copies.

According to this trend, if there are no accidents, or can be said directly, if there are no accidents, the total sales of Jiang Xiaofeng's album "Golden Age" will definitely exceed 100 million copies in the third week of its release.

The popularity of Jiang Xiaofeng's "Golden Age" album is no less than that of "Kiss Goodbye" released by Jacky Cheung in 1993.

Zhang Xueyou's "Kiss Goodbye" album is mainly popular with the two songs "Kiss Goodbye" and "On the Way With You", while Jiang Xiaofeng's "Golden Age" album has five or six hits at once. They are all big hits, not small hits, and ordinary records simply cannot achieve this level.
