The annual grand ceremony of popular music has come to an end.
On the evening of March 9, Huaxia TV broadcast the live recording of the 17th Chinese Song Chart Awards ceremony.
So, in this time and space, Li Qian saw the official god clip for the first time.
Liao Liao still took the stage and thanked, but from start to finish, it was obviously all her original words, but between shots, ordinary audiences could only feel that Liao Liao's award speech was too ordinary and very short. Apart from this, they couldn't hear any abnormalities - cut off the beginning and end, and her speech was left with just that one most ordinary thank you segment.
Even so, Li Qian's name did not appear in her award-winning speech either.
That night, at Li Qian's home, Qi Jie also came over to watch TV and was stunned by the insider information she had never seen before. She watched with her eyes wide open, while on the phone with Liao Liao, verifying the original words at that time. As they talked, the two of them started mocking and teasing each other.
Of course, it doesn't matter if ordinary audiences can't see it. The most core group of people in this circle were present and heard it. As the awards ceremony came to an end, these people will inevitably spread Liao Liao's words throughout the music industry.
For a time, the album "Stealing Chicken Without Losing Rice" was suddenly frequently mentioned in the circle - after all, everyone is mixed in this circle, and in front of major record companies, they are originally in a relatively weak position, and no one will not dislike people who make small moves behind their backs.
Of course, after all, Xin Da Records is one of the three major record companies in the industry. No one would dare to openly criticize them, let alone accuse them of anything, especially when there's no evidence.
Although everyone knows it in their heart, after all, everything is just speculation.
…………
For the Chinese nation with thousands of years of agricultural tradition, after the Dragon Raises its Head on February 2nd, it means that this year is finally over and a new one has really begun. For the domestic music circle, the Golden Melody Awards ceremony was held on this day, which also means that after passing this day, the new year's struggle and work will enter the right track.
Just after the Golden Melody Awards ceremony on March 17, "Sisters", the first domestic girl group under Shinda Music, officially released their third studio album, titled "Sisters Come Together".
Just looking at the name of this album is enough to make many people in the industry burst out laughing.
But in fact, their content is not much better than that, from fast songs to children's rhymes, from folk songs to Chinese style, this album and "Sisters Stand Up" are simply like a mold carved out!
However, although the industry ridicules them as absolute knockoffs, there are many who want to copy "Sisters Take the Stage", and since last year, many companies have been holding small-scale auditions, all looking for beautiful girls to choose from. At the same time, many companies have also started providing dance training to their signed artists. It's clear that everyone wants to follow in the footsteps of fast-paced energetic music and dance, but among these companies, Shinda Records is moving the fastest!
"Sisters Stand Up" was a huge hit after New Year's Day, and three months later, the sisterhood duo released "Sisters Get Together"! This speed is absolutely incredible!
In fact, with the strong production capabilities of Shengda Records, although this album by Sisters is completely following in the footsteps of "Sisters Stand Up", the song selection and production are still quite mature. In the current domestic market where fast songs have suddenly become popular, but fans can't easily find fast songs on the market, although they are really just following the trend, this album still debuted at number seven on the Dongguan Bookstore sales chart in its first week of release - with a single-week sales volume of 3955 copies!
This is the best single-week performance since the formation of SISTAR!
This achievement is absolutely a huge explosion for the sister duo that was already on the verge of disbanding.
A little criticism and questioning within the circle is nothing to worry about, the key is that the album sells well!
From the top of the record company to the producer, and then to the girls from Sister's, it was natural that they couldn't help but laugh - even if a batch of fans would scold this album for being shameless. But after all, that's just a minority. For the vast majority of ordinary music fans, they just want to hear the songs they love, and as for other things, who cares if you're a fake?
The most important thing is that the song sounds good!
Then, on the bestseller list of Dongguan Bookstore, a strange phenomenon appeared.
Still ranking first is "Sisters Who Make Waves", its weekly sales have dropped to barely over 10,000 copies, but in the past three months, there haven't been enough big-name singers releasing albums to challenge it, so from the moment they debuted on the chart until now, they've consistently held the number one spot without even encountering a decent challenge.
But as you scroll down the list, you immediately discover that there is actually another "Sisters Stand Up" ... Okay, at least more than a third of people suddenly realized after being surprised for a moment that the album was actually called "Sisters Come Together"!
But by the second week, with Zhang Yan's release of his new album after winning Album of the Year, "Sisters and Sisters Stand Up" gradually fell to second place, but surprisingly, "Sisters and Sisters Come Together" rose one place to sixth on the sales chart. At the same time, this album's weekly sales suddenly crossed the 5,000 mark, shockingly reaching 5,028 copies sold in a single week!
In just two weeks, the album has already sold nearly 9,000 copies at Dongguan Bookstore alone. According to the twenty-fold rule of Dongguan Bookstore, this basically represents that the sales volume of this album by Sisters has approached 200,000 nationwide. This is absolutely a lifesaving album for Sisters, who only had one gold record certification out of their previous two albums!
And with the outstanding performance of this album, which has attracted attention from many in the industry, it was suddenly confirmed by many companies that a young beautiful girl with fast songs and dances is indeed a viable path!
As a result, the young and beautiful female singers who were originally discussing, preparing or making albums in the direction of youth and beauty, as well as their respective companies, suddenly accelerated their progress. Everyone is sharpening their knives, eager to rush into the market and grab the sweetest slice of cake!
At this time, an album called "Wind Flower Snow" was released.
The record label and production company are both well-known major record companies in the industry - Era Records, and the album's producer is also a well-known producer at Era Records, but the singer is just a newcomer who has never been exposed before.
His name is Huang Feng.
Normally, every spring is the best time for newcomers to release their albums. At first glance, "Feng Hua Xue" seems like a very ordinary newcomer album. From the producer's point of view, this male singer named Huang Feng should be considered as one of the newcomers that Shi Dai Records will focus on promoting next.
But as soon as this album was released, it quickly caused a great deal of attention within the music circle.
Because the title song of "Wind Flower Snow" is actually Chinese style!
An album of ten songs, five of which are surprisingly Chinese-style, while the other five, although ordinary urban love songs, also follow a very elegant and classical path - apparently, as soon as the album was released, everyone understood that after Liao Liao and He Rongying, the first person to come out and eat crabs appeared.
Many people in the industry bought this album back home in the first few days of its release, dissecting and analyzing it bit by bit, and finally came to a conclusion. The two main Chinese-style songs on this album have lyrics that are very elegant, to be honest, they are much better than Li Jian's so-called Chinese-style lyrics which are like plain language. As for the melody, although it is still in the style of classical composition, it seems to be somewhat different from the two songs promoted by Li Jian with Liao Xiao and He Rongqing, but both are quite pleasant to listen to.
So, countless people in the industry involuntarily looked at Dongguan Bookstore's sales rankings.
Shi Dai Records made a big promotion for this album, showing their high expectations for the singer Huang Feng and for "Feng Hua Xue".
But surprisingly, while "Sisters Who Make Waves" continued to hold steady at second place and "Sisters Who Make Waves Together" slipped one spot back to seventh place this week, "Wind Flower Snow Moon" actually only sold 1,285 copies! Ranking sixteenth!
Well, okay, probably because of the new singer?
Everyone continues to wait.
But the following week, when the first single "My Love Can't Stop" from the sister group's new album had barely climbed to number ten on the Golden Melody Chart, Era Records increased its promotional efforts for the album, but sales of "Wind Flower Snow" at Dongguan Bookstore remained at only 1,521 copies.
Moreover, as other singers started to release new albums one after another, his ranking surprisingly dropped again - he was only ranked 17th on the Dongguan Bookstore sales chart!
Although there are only two weeks of data, it is undoubtedly well-known in the circle that this album has flopped!
The loss of Shidai Records is not small, and it's estimated that they've cried their hearts out. However, for those in the industry, they don't have the heart to pay attention to the fate of Shidai Records or the singer named Huang Feng. What they can't help but repeatedly think about is - Can Chinese style really become popular?
Is it something that can be mass-produced or even massively copied? Or does it only belong to Li Qian?
Or maybe Era's "Feng Hua Xue" just took the wrong path? Can't deny the fans' expectation for Chinese-style songs just because of this.
