China Entertainment: I really don’t want to live with the queen

"Ouch, I said Brother Shen, please sit down quickly. My eyes hurt from walking around."

Summer nights in Peking are boring. The fan in the "Modern Sky" conference room is broken and it is as hot as a steamer.

Shen Lihui unbuttoned his white shirt, walked around, and took two sips from the big tea cup. The cold tea could not suppress the heat in his heart.

The first day of album sales for "Legend".

Shen Lihui was reassured about the quality of the album's songs, but the specific statistics were not available. His heart was as if it was tied to a rope, swaying unsteadily, and his eyes were looking at Xu Chen.

The grandson smashed walnuts leisurely, and Shen Lihui smacked his tongue and said: "Old Xu, on the first day your album is released, are you not worried at all?"

Xu Chenxian's balls ached, and his BB machine was jammed to death. This thing can hit walnuts accurately.

Giving walnut kernels to Shen Lihui, Xu Chen was very calm: "I have twelve songs on my album, the first of which is a golden song. Didn't Old Shen Qian say, "I'm not popular, and God cannot tolerate it."

"This is the reason..." Shen Lihui stopped talking and gave a thumbs up: "Master Xu, I really admire you!"

"Jingle Bell."

The phone was ringing desperately, and Xu Chen was about to answer the phone.

Shen Lihui rushed forward, bumped his knees on the table, twisted his eyebrows and eyes in pain, and moaned in ecstasy: "Ah... my god..."

"..." Xu Chen touched the button "6". Lao Shen was indeed a "rock singer".

There was silence on the phone for dozens of seconds, and then a rough voice said: "Old Shen, you are in a good mood. I didn't disturb you. Sister-in-law, you don't mind."

"Old Wang, stop talking nonsense, how is the album order volume?" Shen Lihui asked nervously: "Has it exceeded 5,000?"

Although "Beiping Music Radio" is one of the largest radio stations, covering hundreds of millions of people.

"Single Love Song" and "Loyalty to the Country" occupied 5 minutes of time. As long as one in a thousand people had the idea to buy it, it would be enough to detonate the album market!

bright future!

But it was the first day after all, and Shen Lihui's expectations were very low. As long as the order quantity exceeded 5,000, the album would be successful.

"5000?" Lao Wang said excitedly on the phone: "Lao Shen, Xu Chen, where did you find this treasure? You can't even imagine how much the album was ordered on the first day!"

"How much?" Old Shen, a grown-up man, pinched his throat and spoke like a boudoir lady, trying to hide his shame.

"100000..."

"How many?!"

Now Shen Lihui was not the only one who was not calm. Xu Chen stood up with a bang and said with a trembling voice: "The order quantity of the CD of "Legend" is 100,000, right?"

"Who are you?"

"I am Xu Chen."

"You are Xu Chen." The voice on the phone said enthusiastically: "Hello Xu Chen, I am Wang Xing, the director of Tsinghua Tongfang Optical Disc Factory. You heard me right. The first day order quantity of "Legend" is 100,000. I estimate In the next half month, the album’s shipments will reach 400,000!”

400,000, six platinums.

In this era, the most popular singers in the mainland are Wang Fei and Naying.

The princess's album sales were 300,000, Na-young had no album in 1997, and her album sales in 1996 were 450,000.

The conference room fell silent.

Shen Lihui and Xu Chen were both a little confused.

"This album is worthy of being called "Legend" and has created a new record in the Chinese music scene." Wang Xing was very understanding on the phone and said with a smile: "Old Shen, to be honest, when I saw this data, I couldn't believe it. It's true, but this album is really good, especially "Loyalty to the Country". This is not the time for the return of Pearl. This song is so suitable for the occasion. Xu Chen, you have to be mentally prepared. From my experience, the next half You will be very busy for a few months.”

The best sales period for an album is only 15 days. This is an unwritten unspoken rule in the industry. After 15 days, pirates will distribute the goods, squeezing the survival space of genuine copies.

Xu Chen had no idea what to do about it.

The current punishment for pirates in China is extremely low, with almost no action from the public and no correction from the officials. Many regular small and medium-sized labels not only produce genuine products, but also issue pirated versions, integrating both offense and defense.

The phone hangs up.

Xu Chen and Shen Lihui sat there stupidly for a few minutes.

Xu Chen calmed down quickly. 100,000 sales was just the starting point. His ultimate goal was to be the world's pop king.

What's more.

A company with a sales volume of 100,000 is just a minor in the mainland, and even an ideal sales volume of 400,000 is just a king in the mainland.

Sales of Zhang Huimei's album "BAD BOY" in Baodao and Xiangjiang alone exceeded 1 million.

Ren Xianqi's "Heart Is Too Soft" became a hit, and the album "Very Hurt" was released immediately afterwards. The album sales also exceeded 1.4 million.

The pool of mainland music circles is too shallow. Currently, the holy land of Chinese music circles is Xiangjiang.

Xu Chen's requirements are really not high, at least he is more popular than Ren Xianqi!

Ren Xianqi has played Yang Guo, Linghu Chong, Guo Jing...

Xu Chen didn’t want to act, but he wanted to exchange arts with the actresses who played Huang Rong, Xiao Longnu, and Ren Yingying.

The entertainment industry is about art and life.

Xu Chen raised his finger, waved it in front of Shen Lihui's eyes, and raised the corners of his mouth: "Old Shen, wake up, what's the big deal? Isn't it just 400,000 album sales? My goal is 2 million sales..."

As he said that, he shook his head regretfully and said: "Oh, I'm still far away. I'm really too good~"

"..." Shen Lihui took out his ears. Xu Chen deserved a beating.

This man likes to brag, and he said dullly: "Lao Xu, seeing that you are bragging, I don't think 400,000 is a big deal."

"Anyway, Lao Xu, we two have to have a drink. I just have an idea now!" Shen Lihui waved his arms. Shouting: "Old Xu, the Chinese music scene is ours!"

Xu Chen liked hearing this, he smiled and said: "The Chinese music world is yours, and the queen of the Chinese music world is mine."

………………

The speed with which "Legend" became popular is not like a newcomer at all.

even.

None of the new songs from the kings and queens are as ferocious as "Legend".

On June 15, the album was featured on the "Beiping Music Radio" for the first time. At 12 noon the next day, "Single Love Song" officially reached No. 11 on the "Daily Ranking" of the Peking Music Radio.

"Song Daily Ranking" is the first stop for "Song Hunting".

There is a saying in the circle of the "big three yuan", which are "No. 1 in the daily rankings", "No. 1 in the weekly rankings", and "No. 1 in the monthly rankings"!

Topping the three major charts, it is basically destined to be in the "Top Ten Golden Songs of the Year".

In 1997, there was a fight among the gods in the Chinese music scene. Singers released thousands of songs throughout the year. It was difficult for newcomers to stand out among the thousands of songs and become one of the "Top Ten Golden Songs" of the year!

The song ranked first in "Single Love Songs" is "Chinese Kung Fu" sung by Tu Honggang.

Tu Honggang is not a new singer. He graduated from the Huaxia Academy of Opera and appeared on the Spring Festival Gala in 1990.

The title song of the album "Chinese Kung Fu" was composed by industry giants Song Xiaoming and Wu Jiaji.

Tu Honggang is ambitious and plans to use "Chinese Kung Fu" to completely eliminate the stereotype of "a bad guy singing love songs".

"Chinese Kung Fu" did not disappoint him. On the fourth day after the album was released, the song ranked among the top ten on the "Daily Chart".

My butt is not yet hot from sitting.

"Single Love Song" brutally attacked with a knife, cut off the head with a clean knife, and ranked tenth.

At night.

"Single Love Song" poked the butt of Zhang Yusheng's "Duplicity" and climbed to the seventh position.

The momentum has not diminished, sharpening the knife to Mok Wenwei's "He Doesn't Love Me".

Mok Wenwei is a senior queen in the Chinese music scene. She debuted in 1993. Her song "He Don't Love Me" is of high quality and ranked eighth among the top ten hits in 1997.

"Single Love Song" refers to "He Doesn't Love Me"...

The Chinese music scene is in chaos!
