As promised, Xiao Xianrou, will you play the suona in the haunted house?

Chapter 125 Can funeral music go international?
Wanggang Village.

mourning hall.

"Oh, oh, oh, mother, I'm here to see you!"

"My dear mother, why did you just leave like this..."

Several family members were wailing and bursting into tears.

The suona troupe outside was playing hard with their cheeks bulging, and the sounds of the suona were like tear gas.

As the suona kept playing, the family members continued to cry.

At this time, several members of the brass band came outside to inquire about the situation. Some of them wiped away tears and said: "Old Liu, we did not lose unfairly. This suona is so sad that even I want to cry when I listen to it." .”

Lao Liu had a slumped face and looked at Wang Mazi's suona team with some disapproval.

"It's strange. When did Wang Mazi's suona team become so powerful?"

The people are still the same, nothing has changed.

The level is still at the same level, I don't hear much improvement.

But the emotional appeal of this suona is several times stronger than the previous songs by Wang Mazi and his friends.

After changing the suona song, Wang Mazi and the others seemed to have completely changed their suona version.

It seems that the problem still lies with the song.

"No, only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you be victorious in every battle. You have to find a way to find out where Wang Mazi and the others learned the music."

Lao Liu rolled his eyes, and then led the others to leave first, lest Wang Mazi and the others would see him and become suspicious.

After a while, an old man wearing an old Chinese tunic suit came to Suona Ban with a pack of cigarettes.

"Wang Mazi, stop bragging now. The eyes of several family members of the boss are swollen from crying. Please let them rest!"

The old man said this while handing out cigarettes to the Suona team.

"Okay, let's take a rest for half an hour. When more guests come, we can give the boss a good show."

Wang Mazi saw that there weren't many people outside, so he asked a few suona craftsmen to stop.

"Old Wang, this new song of yours is amazing. I heard that in the next village a few days ago, your suona version almost made the family members cry out?"

The old man asked casually after lighting Wang Mazi's cigarette.

"It's not that exaggerated. It's because a relative of the host's family has a physical problem and it has nothing to do with us."

Wang Mazi chuckled and glanced at the old man.

"But your new song is really good. With this new song, it will be easier for you to take on jobs in the future... By the way, where did you learn this new song?"

The old man gave a thumbs up and praised the suona team for their good music.

Wang Mazi smiled and said nothing, but at this time a young man in the class didn't think too much and said magically: "Our class leader Wang learned this from the CD himself. Our class leader Wang's suona level is not good for learning this." Is it easy?"

Snapped.

At this time, an older suona craftsman slapped the younger student on the forehead and lectured: "Play your suona, and you will talk a lot."

Did you learn buying?

After the old man noted this sentence in his mind, he wanted to ask for more details, but was interrupted by a few old fritters in the Suona version.

The big-mouthed young man was driven aside. It was not so easy for him to inquire about the news again, so he had to chat for a few words and then left with an excuse.

"Uncle Qi, why did you hit me just now?"

As soon as the old man left, the young man came back and asked angrily.

"You are stupid. You don't know that this old man Huang is related to Liu Liu'er. He is like a weasel paying New Year's greetings to a chicken. He has no good intentions."

The old suona maker taught the younger generation a lesson, but Wang Mazi stopped him and said, "It's okay, we can't hide this matter anyway, why are you weird?"

Wang Mazi waved his hands indifferently. Even if Liu Laoliu and the others knew where their music came from, if they wanted to use the wind band to play this music, it would only be like a tiger rather than a dog.

After getting familiar with these songs in the past few days, Wang Mazi admired the people who wrote these suona songs more and more. This song was simply written for the suona. No other instrument can play it like this.

Looking outside the mourning hall, Wang Mazi laughed confidently.

At this time, the old man Huang who had just been a spy also quietly came outside the mourning hall.

"Lao Liu, I asked you. It seems that Wang Mazi's music was bought from somewhere and he learned it himself."

While Old Man Huang told Liu Laoliu the news he had learned, he looked expectantly at the bag of Huazi in his hand.

"Okay, I see."

Liu Laoliu threw the Bao Huazi in his hand to Old Man Huang and left with several members of the wind band.

"Lao Liu, this old man Huang didn't understand clearly. Why did you give him such a good cigarette?"

"It's enough to know this. There is only a video store in our town. We will find out when the time comes."

Liu Laoliu replied shrewdly, and then rode directly to the town.

It also became a video store.

As soon as Liu Laoliu arrived at the door of the video store, he saw a suona maker from another village talking to the boss.

"Boss, get me a suona album from the weekend."

"Hey, you're really lucky. If you come later, they'll be sold out."

The boss skillfully took out a CD from the shelf outside and handed it to the suona maker: "35."

"Okay."

After the suona maker paid, he left with a happy face.

Liu Laoliu listened clearly to the conversation between the two at the door, and said proudly in his heart, Wang Mazi still wanted to hide it from me, didn't I still know about it?

"Boss, get me a plate too, the same one he had just now."

Liu Laoliu came to the boss without saying a word.

The boss glanced at Liu Laoliu and said, "No, that was the last plate he just offered. If you want to buy it, you have to wait a few more days."

Liu Laoliu took out a hundred yuan face value, thought about it and changed it to a fifty yuan one, slapped it on the table and said: "Boss, you must keep it for yourself. I will give you an extra 15 yuan. You can give it to me." Take one."

"This... okay."

The boss looked at it and readily gave in.

Liu Laoliu finally bought the album as he wished, hurried home and played the disc.

Soon, a sad sound of suona sounded from the speakers at home and spread outside.

Liu Laoliu's daughter-in-law was washing vegetables. When she heard the sound of the suona, her eyes turned red and she started crying loudly in the kitchen.

"Ooooh, mom..."

……

At the same time, Deng Shiquan also received specific sales figures for the new album over the weekend.

From this data, we can clearly see who buys weekend albums.

funeral parlor.

A suona craftsman who specializes in folk jobs.

However, these buying groups are generally the same as those they have analyzed before.However, the data also holds some other surprises.

"Huh? Judging from this data, apart from funeral parlors and villages and towns in remote areas, the best sales are exports from Southeast Asia?"

Deng Shiquan couldn't figure out the logic of this. It seems that he hasn't gone to Southeast Asia during the weekend, right?
However, although he did not understand, he could ask professionals for advice, so he called Gan Peisheng.

Half an hour later, Gan Peisheng appeared in Deng Shiquan's general manager's office.

"Lao Ganma, you came just in time to help me look at the sales data of this album over the weekend. Why can't I understand it?"

After Deng Shiquan waited for Gan Peisheng to sit down, he told Gan Peisheng what he had discovered before.

After Gan Peisheng listened, he thought for a while and figured out the key.

"I understand!"

"This weekend's album is a funeral song. In fact, the funeral culture in Southeast Asia is similar to ours in China. After all, countries like Singapore and Malaysia are also dominated by Chinese people."

"Our Chinese traditional culture that spans thousands of years has had a profound impact on the entire Asia. These countries have learned many things from our Chinese, and the same goes for funeral culture."

"And this weekend's album is perfectly in line with our Chinese funeral customs, which are the same in Southeast Asia as in our country."

Gan Peisheng's words reminded Deng Shiquan that music is still a kind of culture after all.

The Southeast Asian cultural circle is deeply influenced by Chinese culture, and many things are similar to domestic aesthetics.

Music, too.

After figuring out the key points, Deng Shiquan and Gan Peisheng immediately began to look forward to the album's sales over the weekend.

……

[It took half a month for Park Jingchang’s new album sales to exceed 20. 】

At the same time, Xingshi Entertainment is also vigorously promoting the sales of Park Jingchang's new album.

In today's era when physical albums are increasingly declining, 20 album sales is indeed a miracle.

Although, these 20 sales include repeated purchases by a large number of female fans.

"Wow, Oppa Park Jingchang is so awesome. Nowadays, except for some stars who are kings and queens, there are very few people who can sell more than 20 albums."

"Congratulations Oppa!"

"Is this the strength of Oppa? It's great."

"I stole all the money my dad had hidden away for a year and bought ten albums of Oppa. Do Jimei people think I did the right thing?"

"Awesome, Jimei!"

"Hey, I'm different, I spent my boyfriend's money!"

As Park Jingchang's album sales increase, his fans' voices online have become much louder.

Of course, Mangxing Entertainment would not be proud of Star Stone Entertainment, and immediately announced the weekend sales data.

[Congratulations on the sales of the new album exceeding 15 over the weekend. 】

As soon as this news was announced, many netizens were shocked.

Netizens were suddenly surprised to find that the album sales over the weekend were slowly narrowing the gap with Park Jingchang.

"Damn it, the album sales over the weekend also exceeded 15?"

"Catching up so quickly? And the album sales over the weekend are not as big as Park Jingchang's."

"No way, a funeral song album can sell for 15?"

"Are there so many funeral parlors and suona craftsmen in China?"

At the end of last week, the album sales gap between Park Jingchang and Zhou Xin was [-]. Unexpectedly, after the end of this week, the gap between the two had narrowed to [-].

This situation has left many netizens confused.

They couldn't understand that it was amazing that the sales volume of an album of funeral songs could catch up with Park Jingchang's album of songs.

Just when netizens were wondering about the reason, a piece of news was suddenly broadcast on the Xinwen Broadcast that night.

[XX, the former richest Chinese man in Singapore, passed away early yesterday morning. A grand memorial service was held in Singapore today. Among the attendees were...]

There was a live connection to the memorial service in the news, and in the video of the connection, the background music of the memorial service was a familiar suona sound.

Soon, some netizens were shocked to discover that the suona song played at the memorial service was actually "Crying Soul" from the weekend's new album.

"Damn it, isn't this suona song from the weekend's new album?"

"Did I hear it correctly? At the memorial service of the richest Chinese man in Singapore, suona music from the weekend actually appeared?"

"Awesome, my Master Zhou."

"I'm so confused. It's the song "Crying Soul" from the new album this weekend. I have listened to this song many times. I had insomnia some time ago and this song cured me of it."

"There's something wrong with you upstairs. Are you using "Crying Soul" to treat insomnia? Aren't you afraid that you won't wake up?"

At the memorial service for the former richest Chinese man in Singapore, the song "Crying Soul" from the weekend's new album appeared.

Moreover, it appeared on Xinwen Network, so even those who wanted to question it had to keep their mouths shut.

As soon as this news was broadcast, the public relations department of Mangxing Entertainment also began to sound the clarion call for counterattack.

Soon, Mangxing Entertainment announced the weekend album sales data online.

[Of the sales of this new album over the weekend, 25% of the sales came from Southeast Asian countries such as Singapore and Malaysia...]

"Damn it, overseas sales of new albums accounted for such a high proportion over the weekend?"

"Can funeral music also go international?"

"This is also cultural export!"

"Awesome, my Master Zhou."

"Although this data is incredible, if you think about it carefully, there are many Chinese in these countries, and their funeral customs should be similar to those in China, so it seems reasonable."

“Where there are Chinese people, it is definitely easier to accept Chinese traditional folk music.”

"As expected of you, there is no one else who has gone global with funeral songs over the weekend."

Netizens felt a little numb after seeing the sales data released by Mangxing Entertainment.

There are many domestic stars who are popular in Southeast Asian countries, but there is probably no other star in the world who is popular overseas with their funeral songs.

It's true that scorpions poop - the only one.

Since then, weekend album sales figures have officially begun to overtake.

The third week passed quickly. Xingshi Entertainment and Mangxing Entertainment announced the album sales data of Park Jingchang and Weekend.

Park Jingchang's album sales began to decline after the third week. At the end of the third week, Park Jingchang's sales were only 25 more than the previous week, with total sales of [-].

It's obvious that Park Jingchang's fans have tried their best and bought everything they can. Now it's time for fans to be exhausted. This is considered a normal phenomenon.

Not long after Park Jingchang’s sales were announced, Mangxing also announced its weekend album sales.

At the end of the third week, the total album sales over the weekend have completed overtaking, with total sales reaching 26.

Although it is only [-] more than Park Jingchang's sales, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the weekend sales curve is still rising.

One is lack of success and the other is rising steadily. It is already obvious who wins and who loses.
