Chapter 179: Three platinum medals for his first album, top five in history
After Wu Peipei and others finished recording "Escape Room", they quickly took a look at "Country Life" and found that there were no fights at the end of the program.

But the ending was very hasty. Su Zhe and Li Daoqiang left the country house, and even the three new guests did not stay as usual and left together.

They couldn't help but ask:

"Su Zhe, your 'competition' wasn't included in the show?"

Su Zhe nodded and spread his hands:
"Of course it won't be cut into it, and we have agreed not to let it out. I don't know where some people got it from."

He glanced at Zhou Jiamin.

Zhou Jiamin chuckled, swept Su Zhe's muscular back with her fingers, and said with a smile:

"I don't know if the gossip is accurate. Why don't we find a place to talk in detail?"

I bid farewell!

Su Zhe didn't care anymore and left quickly. After two business trips in Shashi, he took photos for some unknown magazine, and then rushed to Su City.

The latest episode of "Chinese Song Festival" will be recorded at the Sioux City Stadium, and all [-] tickets have been sold out.

Because of this event, two singers with many fans gathered together.

Su Zhe is naturally one of them. As the album goes on sale, his status becomes more and more stable, and the public increasingly recognizes him as a capable person;
The other one is Cao Sijing. Like Su Zhe, he has a lot of popularity, but he is not one of the top nine. He is not even a popular singer in the eyes of the public. He is a serious singer.

He is also a smart person who focuses on singing and does not do many tricks to attract traffic. However, the only problem is that the songs are really not good, which makes the title of "powerful singer" a bit false.

Speaking of which, the two have some connections. Six months ago, when Su Zhe first became famous in "Wild Survival III", he sang "People Like Me". Cao Sijing also criticized Su Zhe without shame.

At that time, Liu Heluo and other guests criticized him, but it did not affect his reputation too much. After all, Su Zhe had just become popular at the time and had not proven himself musically.

But as Su Zhe's achievements and fame in music grew, even surpassing Cao Sijing's, his previous words became even more ridiculous.

The public most likes to watch the plot "30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi, don't bully young people into poverty"——

Cao Sijing's original evaluation, Liu Heluo and others' righteous speeches, and Su Zhe's current musical achievements formed the best slap-in-the-face plot, perfectly in line with mass communication science.

The related animation gradually became an Internet meme and a famous scene. Su Zhe and Mary Sue Studio did not do any marketing and spread it widely on the Internet.

This is certainly a good thing for Su Zhe, but it has a very bad impact on Cao Sijing.

If he takes the traffic route, that's it. He doesn't care about word of mouth anyway. Making money while taking advantage of the traffic is the most important thing.

But he is taking the route of being a talented artist and wants to be like an old artist in the future. How can he be laughed at like this?

In the nanny car, Yan Xiling reminded Su Zhe:
"You must be careful about Cao Sijing. He has no new songs at all recently, but he specially participated in this "Chinese Song Festival". Based on my experience, he is definitely here for you!"

Su Zhe nodded and did not ask why the other party asked such a childish question about him.

Not to mention that the two of them have a feud, even if they don't, just because they share the same ecological niche, they are life-and-death enemies in the circle——

They are all powerful male singers with huge traffic.

Yan Xiling continued her analysis:
"This year's golden song, it is certain that you will win the Best Newcomer. No one in the industry has won the PR award. It is recognized that you will win."

Su Zhe nodded. This is nonsense. If he came up with a bunch of awesome songs and couldn't even win the Best New Artist, it would be a disgrace to the musicians in his previous life.

And the Golden Song Best New Artist award is not a difficult one to win... right, Jay Chou?

"The chances of Best Singer and Best Album are extremely slim. Although I think you are qualified, qualifications are also considered for this award. You can only get a nomination. Do you understand?"

Su Zhe nodded. He won the best as soon as he debuted, so where would the seniors put their face?Of course I understand.

"The focus of our competition now is the top ten hits of the year! My goal is to guarantee that one song will be in the top ten, and try to get two! In terms of ranking, I will try my best to get into the top five, or even the top three!"

Su Zhe recognized Yan Xiling's goal and asked her to let go of public relations. He was too lazy to pay attention to these trivial matters.

Originally, these things should be handled by the broker, otherwise why should we share the money?
Su Zhe has already produced his best work and did not let them sell shit at a golden price. He can be regarded as a good artist in the industry.

After talking about this, Yan Xiling asked Su Zhe:

"Which song are you going to choose for the "Chinese Song Festival"? The program team is urging us."

Su Zhe thought for a moment and hesitated.

Again, folk songs are not suitable for large-scale concerts.

To compare with the live effect, rock and roll and singing and dancing are the most explosive: the former is a beat of the snare drum, and the latter is a lift of skirts. The effect cannot be compared with folk songs.

Of course, there are advantages and disadvantages. Su Zhe has never seen anyone listening to rock music on the stereo at home. Aren't you afraid of being complained by your neighbors?
There are quite a few people who listen to girl groups alone, but they usually mute the sound and just watch the pictures...

Yan Xiling saw that he was struggling and suggested:
"'A Diao'? The high-pitched version is more suitable for concerts, it will definitely be a blast."

"But my new album only contains the folk version, although they also gave away the treble version after buying the album."

Su Zhe shook his head. How could he not promote his body and promote gifts?

“Let’s go with ‘Blue Lotus’,” he finally decided. “This song is very popular live, by the way!”

He suddenly remembered something and asked Yan Xiling:

"Can we request live stage effects?"

"Yes, there is still some time before "Chinese Song Festival", we can go to the scene to design." Su Zhe said the stage effect he requested:
"The moment I sang [In Bloom - Blue Lotus], blue fireworks were set off around the stage, and then countless blue sequins floated down from the top of the stadium."

This was Xu Wei's concert design, and the scene was extremely explosive.

Yan Xiling carefully wrote it down in her notebook, nodded and said:

"Don't worry, it's easy to achieve. Leave it to me. After you go to Sioux City, you will only be responsible for rehearsing with the band. The musicians in "Huaxia Song Festival" are all senior and have the right to vote for golden songs. You try to get along well with them. "

These details are all part of the prize hunt and may not necessarily be critical, but there is no harm in doing it well.

After discussing everything, Yan Xiling started busy contacting various people to arrange the following work.

The personal makeup artist helped Su Zhe remove makeup and skin care, and then put a mask on him.

Su Zhe had a glow charm and he never bothered to do skin care, but since this was the job of a makeup artist, he didn't refuse.

"Boss, just lie down and let me massage your scalp. Thank you for your hard work!"

The makeup artist smiled softly, stretched out her white and tender hands, and pressed Su Zhe's scalp.

Su Zhe was a little surprised. Massage was not considered the job of a makeup artist. Could it be...

He looked at the makeup artist strangely and hesitated to speak. Yan Xiling said without raising her head:

"Look at the album sales. When the bonus line is reached, she is fawning over you."

The makeup artist smiled sheepishly and explained:

"I'm not flattering, I just think the boss has worked hard! I can't do anything else, so I just pat the boss's head and rest his genius brain."

Su Zhe rolled his eyes:
I’ve never seen you so attentive before!I will be paid for co-authorship!

He turned on his mobile phone and saw that "Poetry Radio" had great stamina due to continuous publicity, with sales exceeding 300 million.

Triple platinum record!
This was the bottom line Su Zhe had set at the beginning. He believed that if he failed to reach three platinums, he would be a failure, and he would only pay bonuses when he reached it.

He predicted it accurately. After the latest issue of "Country Life" was broadcast, the sales of "Poetry Radio" finally exceeded 300 million.

No wonder the makeup artist is so excited, because the first bonus is about to be received!This is the greatest romance of working as a worker.

The response online was also very enthusiastic. The magazine that interviewed him took the opportunity to launch an exclusive interview. It seemed that the manuscript had been prepared long ago and was just waiting for his sales to break through——

[Three platinum medals for his first album, top five in history, where is his future? ——Exclusive interview with Su Zhe, a new generation singer who emerged from nowhere. 】

Su Zhe was not interested in the interview content in the manuscript. They were all answers sent directly to the magazine after the studio reviewed the questions.

——When you reach the position of Su Zhe, you don’t even have to go to the interview in person. You can let the magazine and the studio jointly edit it.

If the former Su Zhe were to look at it, this would be considered a scam, as shameless as lip-synching in songs or face-picking in acting.

But after he became famous, he was too busy and gradually accepted this kind of thing that is common in the industry.

But he at least took the time to review the final manuscript to ensure that there were no remarks that were inconsistent with his original intention, so he can be considered dedicated in the industry.

Su Zhe was too lazy to read the interview again and quickly turned the pages. He just wanted to see who were the top five in history.

You know, if in the previous life, the results of three platinum medals in the first junior high school were extremely terrifying.

Those who can approach or surpass triple platinum in their first major are great gods:

1. Jay Chou's first album "Jay" came out and sold 28 copies that year. Finally, thanks to years of accumulation, the cumulative sales volume was 260 million.

This is a bit like relying on fame in the later stage.

2. D Lang's first album "The First X in 2002" spread throughout the streets, and its results were extremely close to Su Zhe's, reaching a terrifying 270 million.

What's even more terrifying is that unlike Su Zhe, D Lang actually jumped out of the cracks in the stone. It is said that the number of pirated copies is more than 1000 million, and the influence of his songs far exceeds that of Su Zhe.

3. R1S*'s first album "It's About to Explode with Sound", has just 300 million.

Don't ask who this is, or what songs are in the album. Anyway, they were a group selected by Penguin, and then almost all members collapsed...

4. W Jie's first album "1 Game 1 Dream" is said to have sold more than 1800 million copies.

However, this data is doubtful, has no evidence, and has not been certified by any authoritative organization. It is for reference only.

(Although many media have adopted this data, and even W Jie personally admitted it, I have carefully studied it and found that the authenticity is indeed not high and does not match the regional records.)
Getting rid of the exaggerated rumors, it can be said that in his previous life, Su Zhe was the Chinese singer with the highest sales of his first album!

So when he saw that he could only be ranked fifth in this world, he was very curious, who were in the top five?

He looked at it carefully and found that he was 300 million, temporarily ranked fifth, and the fourth was an old man who had passed away;
Thirdly, by coincidence, it happened to be Cao Sijing!His first album sold more than 400 million copies!Quadruple platinum!

"Cao Sijing? Why is it you again?"

Su Zhe scratched his head and realized how fierce the competition in the same ecological niche was. It could be described as tit-for-tat.

“Then let’s set a small goal for the time being—to break four platinum gold medals with my first album and surpass Cao Sijing!”

 It's a bit hard to check the data, sorry it's a little late.
