China Entertainment: Starting from 07 Kuainan

Chapter 16 The July Chinese music scene where gods fight

"Let's not talk about it, the production time is very tight."

As Yuan Tao spoke, he took out his phone and opened the memo.

"Let me show you which singers are releasing records in July."

"The first is Rong Zuer's "Little" in early July. I almost forgot that JJ's new album "Western Boundary" will be released at the end of June."

"His songs have been hitting the charts recently. You should know that with JJ's popularity, the sales boom will continue until July, so it won't be a problem at all."

"Then, on July 7, Zhang Zhenyue's new album "Missing is a Disease" was released, and on July 6, Phoenix Legend released its new album "Good Luck and Good Luck".

"But they don't have much competition with you."

"But then, on July 7th, Wang Lihong released the new album "Change Yourself", and on July 13th, Wu Yuetian released the new album "Leaving the Surface of the Earth"."

"Wu Yuetian and Wang Lihong, especially the latter, your styles are very similar. You have the characteristics of an idol singer and you are also a creative talent."

"Oh."

"And JJ Lin."

"The biggest highlight in the Chinese music scene in July is the competition between JJ and Li Hong's new albums."

"The pre-sale for JJ's new album has begun, and pre-sale sales exceeded [-] units on the first day."

"Xiao Yuan, are you sure you want to join in?"

Although Yuan Tao is very confident in Lu Yuan's new album, even if it is a head-on confrontation, in his opinion, a head-on confrontation is just meaningless consumption.

On the eve of the digital music era, the market for physical records is already limited. July is another time when big-name singers gather to release records.

Joining it can certainly prove yourself, but accordingly, album sales will inevitably be affected.

After all, fans have a limited budget to buy new albums. A singer cannot rely solely on die-hard fans to support his album release.

At least the current Lu Yuan cannot meet that requirement.

Despite his popularity, buying an album costs real money.

According to their company's internal market research, most of Lu Yuan's fans are students, mostly middle school and high school students.

The student group is highly loyal, but not very wealthy.

Not to mention the collector's edition, an ordinary album costs about 30 yuan, and even after discounts, it still costs more than 20 yuan.

How much is the monthly living expenses for middle school and high school students?
Not every region is like Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou. The economic level of various regions in the country is very different. Of course, students in big cities have spare money to buy genuine albums.

But what about the vast student population in second-tier cities?
What a coincidence, Wang Lihong's fan base is similar to Lu Yuan's, but he debuted early, so in addition to the student group, there are also a large number of fans that have grown up.

"Of course I want to join!"

Lu Yuan said categorically: "The ones we beat are the elites!"

With a bunch of king bombs in hand, how could he be afraid of competition?
Although Wang Lihong's new album contains three hit songs: "Change Yourself", "You Are a Song in My Heart" and "Our Song".

Wu Yuetian's new album also contains two classic songs, "Leaving the Surface of the Earth" and "Elope to the Moon".

But his new album has more hits!

Daoxiang, The Wind Rises, Departure, Magic City (Chengdu), Between the Rainbows, Dream Chasing Heart, Wukong, The Brightest Star in the Night Sky, Those Years, Because of Love, which song is not a time-tested hit? payment?
Ten songs VS five songs, why should you be afraid?
Counting "Killer" and "Discovering Love" in JJ's new album, there are seven out of ten songs.

Even counting Phoenix Legend's "Free Flying", Zhang Zhenyue's "Missing is a Disease", and Rong Zuer's "Little".

That’s also ten songs VS ten songs!

All fear comes from insufficient firepower.

Ten golden songs!

Nuclear bomb level power!
Flying dragon riding a face, how to lose?
Use your own efforts to defeat the pop kings and queens of Hong Kong and Taiwan!
Win and become famous in one battle!
Lose?

Even though he was defeated, it was still glorious, and it did not affect his reputation at all.

fiasco?

Sorry, Lu Yuan never thought of this possibility.Previously, Lu Yuan had also considered whether to save a little. After all, if he created (copied) a similar song, he would have one less song.

Moreover, putting ten good songs on the same album is inevitably a bit of a waste.

However, if you want to carve out your own path in the Chinese music world where gods fight, you have to make a splash!
Become famous in one fell swoop!
Two specialties become the king!

This is the tone set by Lu Yuan, to become famous as early as possible, time waits for no one.

fast!
Must be fast!

He's not afraid of leaving out good songs. If he can't find them in the Chinese music scene, he can still find European and American hits.

Compared with the Chinese music scene, whose quality is declining day by day, although the European and American music scene is also declining, 10 years later, the creative power of the European and American music scene still maintains a certain level.

There is no way, one thing I have to admit is that copyright protection work is indeed better. Singers make more money by releasing records, and good works will naturally appear.

Money is the first driving force.

If the copyright protection work in the Chinese music scene can reach the level of Europe and the United States, there will be no shortage of good songs.

"it is good!"

Seeing that Lu Yuan's attitude was very determined, Yuan Tao did not mention anything about avoiding war.

Young and vigorous?

If you are not full of energy, are you still a young person?
Since Lu Yuan is confident, all he can do is give his full support!
To fight?

Then fight!
"However, Xiaoyuan, since you are planning to release the album in July, the MV recording must be done as soon as possible. Today is the 23rd, and there are only seven days left in July."

"In these seven days, we must first complete the contract signing and prepare for the shooting of the MV."

"Time is tight and the task is heavy!"

Lu Yuan immediately understood what Yuan Tao meant. He was urging him to sign a contract. Although a verbal agreement had been reached, any contract that was not on paper was invalid.

"Mr. Yuan, otherwise, I will go back to Shanghai this afternoon. Tomorrow, I will take my lawyer to the capital to sign a contract with you."

"In the meantime, please take the trouble to contact the MV shooting team."

"The contract is signed and filming begins immediately!"

"We will try to complete the filming within half a month, and the new album will be released in mid-to-late July."

Yes, Lu Yuan is preparing to release a new album at the same time as Wang Lihong and Wu Yuetian. Only by winning head-on can he be convincing.

What you want is no doubt!

What is important is that it cannot be disputed!

After pondering for a moment, Yuan Tao clenched his fist.

"In terms of time, although I am a little nervous, I can still finish it if I work overtime."

At this time, Yuan Tao's mentality also changed. He felt the fighting spirit in Lu Yuan's chest and infected him.

The long-lost blood is boiling again!
"I'll start booking flights now."

Just as Yuan Tao picked up his phone, he suddenly remembered something.

"correct."

"There is something I forgot to tell you. Actually, it's not a big deal. Huayou, I hope you will create a ringback song specially promoted on the wireless side."

"There are no mandatory requirements for time or anything, just within the year. There are no downloads either. It's just a test of the waters. Don't put any pressure on you."

"Ring tone song?"

While speaking, Lu Yuan happened to see two performance tickets on the table out of the corner of his eye, and then saw him slap his head.

"Have it!"

"I'll write one now!"
