In addition to the impact of the live bug Long Fan on the Chinese TV drama industry, 2005 is destined to be an unstable year for the Chinese music scene.
This can be seen from one side of the capital. Since the beginning of the year, a series of solo concerts have been held. More than 30 new and old singers have performed, and most of their names are familiar to the public, including Luo Dayou, Jay Chou, and Liu Rene. , Tao Zhe, Mayday, s? h? e, Adu, Cui Jian, rain¡
In other respects, the talent show "Super Girl", which has continued its influence as last year and set off a nationwide "sing whenever you want" craze, and created a new generation of singers, is still very popular. With the help of Yang Chengang, Xiang Xiangdaolang and others in 2004, the trend was triggered. Many online singers and online tracks have also emerged this year, becoming instantly popular and spreading on the streets
In terms of album production, Luo Dayou worked hard for ten years and released "Beautiful Island"; Chinese rock king Cui Jian's "Give You a Little Color" attracted attention from all sides; Tian Zhen also re-created the album with a high temperature of "38 degrees Celsius" Entering; with a thousand days countdown to the upcoming Olympics, Yang Kun made a photo of "2008" to suit the occasion Others such as Stefanie Sun, Andy Lau, Liang Jingru, Mayday, etc. are not to be outdone.
Similar to Long Fan, beauties in the film and television industry such as Li Bing~, Chen Hao, Huang Yi and Fan Bing~ are also vying to become cross-border talents and have also stepped into the music circle.
But on the other side of the excitement, people cannot ignore that, similar to the surge in TV drama production, there are a lot of new songs released, but not many are actually popular.
In KTV, in addition to Guangliang's "Fairy Tale", Liangliang's "Who Do You Love", Zhang Zhenyu's "Don't Say You Don't Matter" and Long Fan's long-released single "Xiaoyaotan", there are also new songs that have been popularly sung There are only a handful of them, and most of them are from last year or even earlier.
Some media even use the term "lively and lonely" to describe the current situation of the Chinese music scene.
It can be said that there is no special advantage for Long Fan to enter the music scene at such a moment. Just like a stone thrown into an already rippling lake, there will be ripples, but it does not seem to attract much attention.
Even Long Fan himself was a bit lucky, that is, using the popularity of "Sword and Fairy" to drive record sales, but he really couldn't think of a better gimmick.
And since this was the first step towards cross-industry development, Long Fan did not hold on to the idea of ??becoming a fat man with one bite, and had vaccinated himself early to avoid worrying about gains and losses.
But the development of things exceeded everyone¡¯s expectations and imagination.
After completing the first autograph signing event, Long Fan completed another promotional event in Beijing and then hurriedly returned to the crew of "Wulin Gaiden" for busy filming. The week passed in a hurry. As for the impact of the autograph signing and media reports I bought the newspaper myself and learned about it through my new agent Wen Wan.
It seems that the impact of this charity signing is quite good. At least both mainstream and tabloid newspapers are unanimously praising it. It has also aroused a good response among fans. Many people even took the initiative to donate to the welfare institution in the name of fans. , which indirectly enhanced Long Fan's personal image.
July, for Long Fan, it was a weekend that seemed no different from the past. Early in the morning, he visited Wanxian Mountain Scenic Area in Henanhui County.
Before the day's drama even started, Long Fan received another call from Wen Wan, reporting to him the latest status of the album.
The first thing the other party said after getting through the call was, "The sales results of "Every Word" for the week have been released."
"Oh, really?" Long Fan, dressed in costume, stood on the set of "Wulin Gaiden" with a script in one hand and a mobile phone next to his ear in the other. His tone remained calm, "Did you pass?"
Although they seemed calm, as if they were inquiring about an extremely ordinary matter, it was undeniable that when he heard the words "sales results", Long Fan felt a little nervous inside, and as time went by It goes on, and every second seems to intensify the tension.
This is not the first time Long Fan has faced such a scene. When he faced the release of the physical book of "Struggle", the ratings information after the broadcast of several TV series would have this feeling.
But this time the feeling of nervousness seems to be different.
"How many do you think it will be?" Wen Wan seemed to have inherited Wang Jinghua's habit of always asking Long Fan for his personal opinion when announcing results.
Probably this is also the thinking of ordinary people, who want to test first to see if their message can surprise the other party.
Long Fan bit his lip and thought for a moment, then asked cautiously, "Including cassettes, 30,000?"
??The sales volume of the single at the beginning was almost this result, so Long Fan chose to use this as a basis for guessing. On the other hand, this was what Long Fan felt for himself.?The passing line has been established. It is comfort enough for Long Fan that his first album can achieve such results when he is basically entering the stage as a newcomer without any influence in the music industry.
Although he has hidden ambitions in his heart, he does not want Wen Wan to define himself as an ambitious artist for the sake of face.
"It's low." Wen Wan pursed her lips and chuckled, "It seems to be quite modest. Let's try again."
"Seventy thousand." Long Fan straightened up in an instant and said in one breath, looking full of breath. This was also the best result he had ever dreamed of before.
Wen Wan then smiled and said, "The sales volume of CDs is probably this much. If you include cassettes, the total sales volume is 100,000 copies. This is a first-line sales performance without moisture. However, the company's external publicity will be reported based on orders and shipments. About 200,000 pieces."
The new album sold 100,000 copies in a week? !
Long Fan stared ahead, his vision a little blurry.
He has also searched for album sales results before. Taking Jay Chou, the most popular Taiwanese singer at the moment, as an example, the new album's weekly sales in the mainland can reach about 600,000 to 700,000 copies. New singers who have gained a lot of attention due to the popularity of Super Girl The best-selling album is probably around 300,000 copies.
Without much publicity, Long Fan has achieved such results just by relying on his own influence in two film and television dramas, novels and games. Long Fan no longer knows how to thank fate for favoring him.
Even if you can¡¯t step into the ranks of first-line singers, you can still be called a cutting-edge or even a popular singer.
Of course, this is actually inseparable from Long Fan¡¯s hard work. He often stood in the recording studio all day for a single tone, leaning against the door frame to eat lunch, and constantly running back and forth between the set and the recording studio
Hearing that there was no movement from Long Fan, Wen Wan probably understood Long Fan's mood, because not only the artist himself, but also Huayi witnessed the miracle that Long Fan brought again on the day of release.
Within three hours after the first autograph session, 5,000 copies of Jingcheng's new album were sold out, and nearly 20,000 albums were successfully sold in one day. The even more gratifying sales in the following two days also drove a large number of audio stores to invest in Long Fanxin. With the attention of the album, orders are flying to Huayi Music Company like snowflakes
Except for the current super girls, there are really not many new singers who can achieve the level of influence that Long Fan has. The new album is as fierce as the music industry's "Sword of Immortality", and it is out of control.
And several songs in the album have quickly entered the KTV on-demand hot list. Although there is no official authorization, in fact, various KTVs have already put Long Fan's new songs on the system for guests to sing at the first time.
"Beautiful Beauty", "Rewind", "Old Boy" New and old songs bring a warm current to this music season that is not lacking in quantity but lacks in heat
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????" Because there are other artists also releasing new albums in the summer, it may be affected a little, but the results are still rising. If the later publicity is in place, I believe it will bring better sales."
"Okay, I'll leave the promotion to you. As long as you need it, it's no problem if you break your legs." Long Fan didn't know what words to use to express his excitement, so he could only express his ambition to his agent. .
"Breaking a legthat's no good." Wen Wan was naturally overjoyed when she encountered Long Fan's explosive strength when she took over the job for the first time. Since Long Fan himself said so, of course, as an agent, he must express his attitude and encourage each other. "I'm already arranging the relevant matters. The goal I set for you is to exceed 200,000 sales in the next three weeks."
The first month of a new album¡¯s release is also the period when performance grows fastest. If you seize this period, you can basically control the fate of an album. Even if it can still sell well in the future, the potential has basically been exhausted.
This time Long Fan was not modest, but silently drew this goal line for himself in his heart.
"yeah!"
After putting down the phone, Long Fan shook his fist in the air and celebrated alone.
"Why is Zhan Tang so surprised so early in the morning" Yan Ni, who had just finished putting on makeup, walked down the hall stairs and looked at Long Fan, who was having fun alone. He asked with a curious smile in the tone of the film, "Is that so? What else is there to be happy about?"
