Chapter 291: Infectiousness, Amazing Increase

Deep city.

At the signing ceremony for Li Qiang's new album "Transparent", the atmosphere was lively, with hundreds of young men and women holding albums waiting in a long line.

"Is Teacher Li Qiang here?"

"It should be here soon. I saw on the news that Teacher Li Qiang left Huadu in the morning and came to our Shencheng. I guess he should be here now."

"I have been a fan of Teacher Li Qiang for seven years. I will buy every album that Teacher Li Qiang releases, and I will definitely support it this time. But this time I am even more lucky. Teacher Li Qiang actually came to Shenzhen to hold a book signing event. I am very happy. "

"By the way, I saw someone on the Internet saying that Zhang Wenhua's new album "Stronger" seems to be good too. Have any of you bought it?"

"I didn't buy it. What's so good about a little fresh album? The quality is probably average and there is no value in buying it."

"Yes, albums like Mr. Li Qiang's may still be treasures after many years and have collectible value. In a few years, no one in the entertainment industry will have heard of Zhang Wenhua."

"Listen, it seems that Teacher Li Qiang is coming out."

"."

Backstage, Li Qiang was sitting on the sofa, drinking cold drinks and blowing on the air conditioner.

The weather in the south is really too hot, and Li Qiang is not used to it, and the journey is really hard. From Huadu to Shencheng, he didn't even go to the hotel, but came directly to the signing site to prepare for the event.

Gululu.

After taking a sip of the drink and putting down the cup, Li Qiang also heard from his assistant about the sales results of "Stronger" on the first day, which were only a little over 70,000.

The sales volume of an album is generally concentrated in the first three or four days. After the first three days, the sales volume basically begins to decline rapidly. If the sales volume on the first day is not good, the overall sales volume of the album will also be sluggish.

Now Zhang Wenhua's new album "Stronger" has only sold over 70,000 copies on the first day, which is only half of "Transparent". It no longer poses any threat to "Transparent".

The best-selling album in the same period, this one should be considered stable.

After the release of "Stronger", Li Qiang hasn't taken the time to listen to it because he has been busy attending book signings across the country.

Although he didn't listen to it, Li Qiang had seen news on the Internet before, including the mention that the title song of Zhang Wenhua's new album was a new song composed by Tan Yue.

In the past, Li Qiang didn't know much about Tan Yue, but a few days ago, a song "Wukong" shined at the Tomorrow Youth Online Singer Competition, attracting the attention of many people in the music industry. Li Qiang chose to release an album after the competition , and naturally have been paying attention to the status of the Tomorrow Youth Online Singer Competition.

From that time on, the name Tan Yue officially entered Li Qiang's eyes.

Li Qiang also admitted that the song "Wukong" is a good song, a high-quality song, but even he may not be able to create such a song every year. The quality of "Wukong" is comparable to the two or three songs that I am most proud of.

However, Li Qiang also learned that Tan Yue's main job is to do programs, and music is just for fun. After all, he is not a real music professional. An amateur may spend a few years to grind out a good song. songs, but one song is already top-notch, and it is absolutely extremely difficult to write another one.

Li Qiang really didn't believe that Tan Yue could write any good songs for Zhang Wenhua this time.

For some people in the industry, writing songs is indeed not difficult, but if anyone really thinks that writing a good song is like cabbage, Li Qiang believes that he will spit in his face.

Except for a few extremely talented people, the vast majority of outstanding singers and musicians, including Li Qiang, want to write a good song, but it will take them a year or two, or even longer. Not nothing.

Li Qiang shook his head and narrowed his eyes slightly. He no longer thought about Zhang Wenhua or Tan Yue, and completely kicked "Stronger", which was no longer a competitor, out of his mind.

What he has to do now is to do his own thing well. The current results of "Transparent" are very good, and Li Qiang hopes to continue this good result.

Beijing, Magic City, Huadu, and Shencheng are just the beginning, and there will be album signing events in more than a dozen cities to attend.

Li Qiang believes that with his hard work, the performance of "Transparent" will reach a higher level.

Making money is naturally an important aspect. On the other hand, Li Qiang also hopes to rely on the good results of "Transparent" to further his ranking on the list of first-line public figures.

There are people in this world who like to be comfortable, but for the vast majority of people, who wants to stay where they are? Who doesn’t want to keep going up? Do those who choose comfort really don’t want to move up? Maybe it’s just that I can no longer work hard and persevere.

Li Qiang feels that he is still young and can continue to move forward!

Take a short break and then start the book signing.

However, just today, something is already fermenting.

"Stronger" was not as popular as "Transparent" at the beginning, but "Stronger" is like a sharp knife, and the sharpest tip is too lethal.

If you don’t listen, that’s it. Once you listen, it’s easy to not stop.

If you use some words to explain the connotation of the song "Stronger", you must use words full of positive energy such as "inspirational", "passionate", "hot-blooded" and "explosive".

The whole song is like a lighter, igniting the listener.

Hangzhou, a bar.

Many guests who just came in were surprised because the song being played in the bar was very exciting.

"Huh? What song is this? It's nice!"

"Fuck, it's so exciting."

"What's wrong with my legs? Why do I move involuntarily after hearing the song?"

"What song is this? It's so nice and has such a strong sense of rhythm. I must have heard it before."

"That's right, whose song is this?"

A shopping mall in Suzhou.

Many citizens will stop for a moment when passing by the square in front of the shopping mall, and listen to the songs played in the square today.

Songs are played in the square every day, but today's songs are particularly attractive.

After a while, the wide square began to seem a little crowded, which is rare.

So many people were attracted by the songs played today, and they were all whispering.

"Wow, this song sounds so powerful."

"Mom, I won't skip school, I won't buy a computer, let's go home, I want to study, I want to go to Beijing University!"

"Tsk tsk, this song is so infectious, after listening to it, I feel full of power, as if life has reached a climax."

"I want to know the name of this song now?"

"Yes, what song is this? Such an explosive song should not be unknown."

"Haha, this song is the title song of Zhang Wenhua's new album, the song is called "Stronger", it is a song written by Tan Yue, the same Tan Yue who wrote "Wukong". I bought this album yesterday, and I really listened to this song many times."

In the evening, Los Angeles, No. 1 Middle School.

After the evening self-study, the mentally exhausted senior high school students who had studied all day came out of the classroom one after another.

"Xiao Kai, I'm so tired today. I feel like my bones are falling apart."

"Who wouldn't be tired like a dog? Let's go to the supermarket and buy an ice cream."

"Let's go eat ice cream, and then go back to the dormitory to sleep. I think I can fall asleep as soon as I lie on the bed."

"After eating ice cream, I want to come back and continue studying. After all, there are still 20 days before the college entrance examination. I think I still have a lot to learn."

"What are you studying? Is learning something that can be done overnight? Go back and have a good sleep today, and get up early tomorrow to study with all your energy. That's the way to go."

"Okay."

A group of students left the classroom while talking.

Just then, music suddenly sounded on campus.

"You know the bed feels warmer,

Sleeping here alone,

"

The moment the music sounded, students stopped one by one.

The tune of the song became higher and higher, and the rhythm became more and more intense, as if a raging fire was ignited on the students, burning away all the fatigue, and everyone's spirit began to shake up.

"Xiao Kai, what are you going to do?"

"I'm not going back to the dormitory yet, I'll study for a while."

"Okay, I'll go back and study for half an hour, there are still a few easy-to-make mistakes in math that I haven't figured out."

"Hey, Xiao Kai, Lao Sun, do you want to go back and continue studying too? Wait for me, I'll go back too."

The greatest charm of a good piece of music is that it can resonate with people's spirit and have a positive impact on people's behavior.

Never underestimate the power of music, because in many things, it represents the power of the spirit.

One by one, the students who walked out of the classroom began to turn back and walked into the classroom again, and their young faces were full of tenacity.

Many students were influenced by the song and were full of fighting spirit, but not all of them went back to the classroom to study. But even if only some of the students came back to study, it was enough to show the excellence of the song. Only music that can move the audience is good music.

The reason why it has such a good effect is naturally related to the fact that this is the first time that "Stronger" has appeared in this world. Everyone has never been exposed to this song before. The first time they hear it, they must be more shocked. As time goes by and the number of times they listen to "Stronger" increases, the impact of the song on these people will also decrease, but not much.

Because "inspiration" and "passion" are the core of the song "Stronger".

On this day, the most discussed song on the Internet was still Li Qiang's "Transparent", but few people noticed that the popularity of "Stronger" has not dropped, and it has been steadily rising.

And there is another point. There are both good and bad reviews in the online comments of "Transparent". Although the proportion of good reviews is higher, there are also many bad reviews.

Looking back at "Stronger", almost 98% of the reviews are good. As long as people who bought the album, they basically come to give good reviews. Even if there are bad reviews, they are all for other songs in the album, and there are absolutely no bad reviews for the theme song.

Even many comments can be seen to be very heartfelt.

Record stores across the country are still very busy, but store owners have gradually discovered that among those who come to buy albums, more and more customers are buying "Stronger".

If yesterday, only two out of ten people who came to buy albums bought "Stronger" and the other eight bought "Transparent". Now, out of ten customers, four or even five of them bought "Stronger".

May 26th.

The official website of the General Administration of Culture, the music section page, has released the sales data of domestic singers' albums the day before. These data will definitely have errors, but the statistical factors adopted by the General Administration of Culture are relatively objective and comprehensive, so the errors are relatively small, so the referenceability of this album sales data is still quite strong. .

The only hot-selling albums that can really attract people's attention are Li Qiang's "Transparent" and Zhang Wenhua's "Stronger", because these two people have the biggest status and sales are also ranked in the top two, both of them are first-line big stars. The others are second- and third-line singers, and the gap between them is a bit big.

Even if Zhang Wenhua's new album performs very poorly in front of Li Qiang's new album, it is only because the opponent is Li Qiang, a powerful singer in the Chinese music scene.

Li Qiang himself has a lot of popularity, and the songs he composes are also good, so he can steadily suppress Zhang Wenhua. Zhang Wenhua is definitely a step behind Li Qiang, but if the opponent is those second- and third-line singers, it can be said that it is not too easy to win.

The best time for a new album to sell is the first three days after its official release. Generally speaking, the sales volume of the first three days is not much different. From the fourth day, the album sales began to decline, and even some albums of poor quality would show a step-by-step curve decline, which was quite severe.

The album sales of "Transparent" have begun to decline. The lowest daily sales in the first three days were 125,000 copies, and the daily sales data of yesterday's album announced today dropped to 111,000 copies.

This is normal. Although Li Qiang's promotion for "Transparent" was very powerful, the three-day golden sales period has passed after all. It is already very good to have more than 110,000 album sales on the fourth day.

However, the data of "Transparent" is normal, but that of "Stronger" is a bit abnormal.

Yesterday's data was more than 70,000 albums sold per day, so today's data should also be around 70,000 albums to be normal, but today the album sales data announced by the official website of the General Administration of Culture is more than 106,000 albums. It has increased a lot compared to yesterday's results, and has already caught up with the tail of "Transparent".

The increase in the album "Stronger" is really amazing. On the second day of its release, the sales of the album increased by more than 30,000 albums compared to the first day. The gap between the sales of "Transparent" which ranks first is only 5,000 albums.

As an official website, the official website of the State Administration of Culture has a very high credibility in China's cultural industry. Artists and media in the entertainment industry have the habit of visiting the official website of the State Administration of Culture every day.

For many people who pay attention to music, today is destined to be not peaceful.

The increase in the sales of "Stronger" is too large. If this trend continues, it will only be a matter of time before it exceeds "Transparent".
