China Entertainment: Starting from 07 Kuainan

Chapter 161: Taking advantage of the little queen

6 month 23 number.

Little Days Oricon announced last week’s album chart.

Lu Yuan's first English album sold 97566 copies in its first release (first week), surpassing the childhood diva Koda Mirai, and landed No. 1 on the Oricon Album Chart!
Moreover, from June 6 to June 19, Lu Yuan also ranked first on the daily album sales list.

As soon as the list came out, the media in Xiaozhi made enthusiastic comments one after another.

It is not unheard of for a foreign singer to top the Oricon list. Some big-name European and American singers, such as MJ, Sister Niu, Madonna, Avril Lavigne, etc., have all achieved this achievement.

It’s not like there are no Chinese singers.

People like Chen Meiling, Teresa Teng, Women's Twelve Band, etc. have also topped the album best-selling list.

But their nature is different from Lu Yuan.

Meiling Chen, Teresa Teng, and Girls [-] Band are basically singers and groups who have been working hard in the small-life music scene for a long time.

Some people even made their debut when they were young.

This is the only example of a Chinese singer like Lu Yuan who has never reached the first place in his childhood but managed to reach the top of the list!
However, although this is a special case, the reports of most small-time media are still very objective, except for some right-wing media.

Little Life fans are already very receptive to English songs.

Lu Yuan's English albums have frequently topped the album charts in America's Daddy. Is it strange that similar situations happen in their country?

Not unusual!
Dad likes it and so does his son. Isn’t it normal?
Similarly, in Xiaobangzi next door, Lu Yuanying’s debut album also topped the album chart that week with 23012 copies.

Miracle Girls, Super Junior, Shinhwa, boy groups and girl groups, all stood aside.

Compared with Xiaoliang, Xiaobangzi's record market is obviously much sluggish. As of the end of June, Xiaobangzi's best-selling album in the pop music world is Shinhwa Group's ninth album "RUN".

This album is also the last album of the Shinhwa group before their military service. However, even so, the album with such a huge BUFF has only sold more than 9 copies since its release.

Last year, the second album of the popular group Super Junior sold a total of 15 copies throughout the year.

With sales of less than 16, it is the runner-up in Xiaobangzi’s annual album sales.

On the other hand, in my younger days, the top few in the annual sales list all had million-level sales.

A gap visible to the naked eye.

Therefore, it is not surprising that Boss Lu came to have a small time first.

Small days are more profitable, so of course he will come to small days in advance.

The little stick can only be ranked second.

If it weren't for the poor international influence, Boss Lu wouldn't even bother to make a trip to Xiaobangzi with such a small sales volume.

Before Lu Yuan officially arrived, the "Daily Telegraph", one of the five major newspapers in Xiaoli, published a news on the front page.

"A musical genius born once in a thousand years has arrived!" 》

In other words, in the early days, heavyweight media in other countries would never publish such a middle-of-the-road news headline.

Although this report is an announcement from Global Buy, the specific content of the report is the work of the Daily Telegraph.

In the report, the writer examined Lu Yuan's road to fame in detail, not only in the international music scene, but also in the Chinese music scene.

The data is so detailed that it is eye-catching.

Of course, this report is not without its shortcomings.

Words like 'Emperor of Talent Singers', 'Asia's Most Handsome Singer', 'Extreme Singing Skills', 'Become a God in One Special', 'Asia's No. 1 after the Millennium', etc. are full of middle-class atmosphere. Write the entire report.However, although the article is a little off, the events and data cited in the article are not wrong.

At the end of the report, the writer also posted the freshly released Oricon 2008 mid-year list.

In the mid-2008 single sales list, "unstoppable" beat Namie Amuro slightly with sales figures of 28, ranking eighth on the mid-year singles list in the first half of the year.

The weekly album chart overthrew Koda Miku, and the mid-year singles chart overpowered Namie Amuro. What is the concept?
Mirai Koda, Namie Amuro, Ayumi Hamasaki, Tamitsu Uda and Mai Kuraki are collectively known as the five queens of pop music in Japan.

Lu Tianwang, one versus two, won the battle, shocking the pop music world in the small life.

Regarding the one vs. two thing, the fans of Namie Amuro and Mirai Koda are definitely the ones who cannot accept it the most.

Why?
Their idol was chosen from a group of idols and powerful singers. He debuted for nearly ten years, but was overshadowed by a foreign singer.

Suddenly, Lu Tianwang and his people had not yet reached their prime, and there were another group of little black men.

But compared to that little Heizi, there are more people who like him.

When I was young, Mu Qiang claimed to be second, and no country dared to claim first.

As an Asian, Lu Tianwang topped the Billboard singles chart and the album chart. Is it strong?

powerful!
First in history!
Although there were some local singers who won the number one spot on the singles chart in their childhood, that was all in the 60s.

The song "Sukiyaki" was indeed very popular in my childhood, but there is a significant difference between the songs of the 60s and contemporary songs.

If young fans were asked to choose, most would choose contemporary songs.

Finally, Xiaoli also has a 'negative example' (in Hamasaki's mind) to enter the international music scene.

In the past years, Uda Tamitsu, who was at the height of his popularity in the Japanese music scene and a powerful figure, held high the banner of entering the European and American music scene.

Not only did he fail, but after returning to his small life, his position was seized by his archrival Ayumi Hamasaki.

Of course, Hamasaki Ayumi's rise to power is also related to Amuro Naemi taking a break from the music industry to have a child.

If it weren't for Uda Takami's attack on the United States and Amuro's birth of a child, Hamasaki Ayumi would probably have been the third child for a long time.

However, Ayumi Hamasaki's status as a young pop queen is not very stable, and her fellow junior Kumi Koda is launching a fierce attack on her.

This time, Koda was not suppressed by King Rikuten, and Ayumi Hamasaki was definitely one of the happiest people.

Even if they are from the same sect.

Who says that a relationship with the same disciple will definitely be good?
In fact, Hamasaki is quite curious about Lu Yuan. The European and American music scene is far more prosperous than the music scene in his childhood.

Although the prosperity of the European and American record industry has declined due to the influence of digital music, album sales of 200 million and 300 million are still common in North America.

The more prosperous the market is, the more motivated musicians will be, and the super high income can also allow musicians to concentrate on making music.

Therefore, when it comes to competition, the European and American music scene is definitely much more intense than the music scene in childhood.

What's more, the European and American music scene is basically dominated by white people. It is too difficult for a yellow person to join it.

Look at her nemesis Uda Tamitsu.

Didn't you come back in a daze?

The disastrous defeat of Uda Takami immediately caused Hamasaki to give up his plan to enter Europe and the United States. The fundamentals are to defend the local market.
