"It's broken, it's broken the record, and it's a big break. It's improved the original record by more than 20%..."

"Your votes were 21,734. The second place, Luo Cheng, got 10,932 votes, which is less than half of yours. Even the winner of the most popular program at this year's Xijiang Provincial New Year's Eve Party, Liu Huiying, a top player, only got 18,923 votes."

.”

That night, Li Fan left the TV station without going with Ni Houdao and others. He took a taxi home. At around nine o'clock the next morning, Ni Houdao called, his voice full of excitement.

Li Kai listened silently, waiting for him to finish, then smiled and said: "Okay, the last stop of the promotion has come to a successful conclusion. I can finally relax completely. What are you doing? I haven't been home for a long time. I want to

Stay a few more days and return to the company next Wednesday or Thursday."

Ni Houdao snorted: "If you don't go back with us...the sales list will be released tomorrow, Monday."

Li Fan asked back: "Will the sales data be different because I am at home or at the company?"

Ni Houdao choked and coughed twice: "Okay, contact me at any time... Well, when you come into the company, I have something to talk to you about."

"What's the matter? We can't talk about it on the phone?"

"Let's wait until you enter the company. Don't rush for a few days."

"Mysterious, that's it."

After hanging up the phone, Li Kai faced the abundant sunshine outside the window and stretched lazily.

...

The topic of the trend of the Chinese music scene has become the hottest topic in recent times, although the counterattacks of popular songwriters and singers have been strong and powerful, and have formed a reversal trend.

But it is undeniable that the popularity of "Qilixiang" and "Norwegian Wood" has had a huge impact on the pattern of lyrical slow songs that dominate the Chinese music scene.

The sales volume of Li Fan's album exceeded 300,000 in a single week, which is an ironclad proof of the fact that other genres besides lyrical slow songs can also be accepted and loved by the public.

With the power of example, others will dare to follow suit and try.

Among the singers who have announced their releases in April, there have been as many as 8 albums featuring non-lyrical slow songs, which is unique in the past four years.

It can be said that the first shell of the current music scene has been broken, and more and more challengers have appeared!

But this is not enough. So far, no top second-tier or above singer has announced that he will try a new style of music. This can be regarded as the second shell of the current music scene.

As these people stand taller, they naturally have more worries and are still waiting and watching with suspicion.

Will Li Fan's album take a hit? How high can sales reach?

These are all questions. In short, just 300,000 sales in a single week is not enough to make them excited.

According to the default rules in the music industry, the total sales volume of an album is estimated to be 2.5 to 3.5 times based on the first month's sales. Within the first month, there will be various variables in weekly sales.

As a result, on Sunday, the public opinion war over the genre war came to an end, and the prominent positions of various entertainment newspapers were once again occupied by "The First King vs. the New King", "Four Immortals Melee", and "New King Album No. 3"

Mainly focused on clearing the two lists, can it reach a new high?" This topic is occupied!

The entire music circle suddenly became silent, and everyone was waiting silently...

Monday, ten o'clock sharp.

Last week’s sales list was released on time!

Ranked first, Li Fan's new album "New Era", 329123.

Ranked second, Liu Mingliang's new album "Love Fire", 283451.

Ranked third, Zhou Ziming's new album "Love to the Deep", 102387.

Ranked fourth, Michelle's new album "Love Chically", 81023.

The sales of the fifth-ranked album suddenly dropped to less than 50,000 copies.

The tenth album sold less than 35,000 copies.

The entire music world was shocked!

Liu Mingliang's new album broke gold within ten days of its release. In the third week, sales dropped. This is not surprising. It still maintains an astonishing sales volume of 280,000 copies, which shows the super popularity of this number one king.

It is also a high degree of certification for the quality of this album!

According to the average level of top-tier A-listers, sales in the first week were about 130,000, while Zhou Ziming only sold 100,000, which is low, but not too high.

Mi Xue is similar to Zhou Ziming, with sales of 80,000 copies in the first week, which is lower than the first-line average, but there is no excessive deviation.

To sum up, the sales volume of a super first-tier salesman is normal or even high, the sales volume of a top-tier salesman is normal, but the sales volume of a first-tier middle-tier salesman is also normal, but on the low side.

Under such circumstances, Li Fu, who was in the same period, jumped up and stood out among the others with a terrifying result of nearly 330,000 weekly sales!

Although everyone knows that Li Kai’s third major hit passed the two charts, Li Wei’s second major hit was a great success in promotion on Hong Kong Island, and Li Kai created a record of votes for the best program selection at Xijiang TV Station’s Yuanzhong Festival Gala...

But few people foresaw that after selling 300,000 albums per week, Li Fan's album would reach a new level and even overwhelm the first king.

After 18 days on the market, the total sales volume reached over 730,000 copies. Even if the piracy protection period will expire in four days, everyone knows that no matter how low it is, the monthly sales will break through the platinum level with certainty!

Monthly sales have exceeded platinum, excluding Liu Mingliang's album. The last time it appeared was a year and eight months ago. Su Yaqing's follow-up album sold 1.01 million in its first week, which is about to break platinum.

...

Time record.

There was absolute silence for three minutes at the regular high-level meeting on Monday. Afterwards, Qiao Li reiterated in a resolute voice that she demanded a strict investigation of the person behind the company's unauthorized voice for Li Hu, and asked Liu Duan, the deputy director of the marketing department, to do something

The punishment of temporary suspension will be imposed until the person behind the scenes is found out.

Previously, Qiao Li's request was opposed by many senior executives. Unless Mr. Ren made a decisive decision, it would definitely fail in the vote. But now, in the face of Li Kai's incredible sales performance,

All the executives were silent, and even the two songwriters and composers had a sullen face and said nothing.

In the end, Mr. Ren made the decision and approved Qiao Li's request.

Dawn Records.

It was also a regular high-level meeting on Monday, and there was silence for several minutes.

Finally, Wu Han nodded to Cao Meng, and Cao Meng understood the meaning, which confirmed his firm opposition to Shuteng Records' involvement in and the suppression of Li Fan.

Cao Meng sighed and said: "Time Records is going to release the King of Heaven."

All the executives' hearts sank, and they all looked at Cao Meng.

Cao Meng's old face showed bitterness: "You don't have to look at me, you all know what I mean."

Everyone was silent.

The atmosphere in the conference room suddenly became heavy.

...

Hua Ge, Niso, Snow, Becca, these giant record companies.

There were no more sounds of cups being thrown or curses being heard in the break room or the office like last week.

But when a number of big-name songwriters and songwriters in the industry, as well as individual executives, walked out of the lounge and the office, they had the same gloomy expressions on their faces.

The company was enveloped in a heavy atmosphere.

...

And on this day, two first-tier record companies, a second-tier top artist and a first-tier singer announced that they will release an album in April. The two main songs of the album will try genres other than lyrical slow songs.

There are faint cracks in the second shell of the current music scene.

...

As the person who shocked the entire music industry, Li Kai could not really relax at home.

At around eleven o'clock, he received a call from Su Ting. Su Ting was very excited and kept talking. It was Li Ran who ran into the room and asked him to eat, so he interrupted Su Ting and hung up the phone.

Voice: "Congratulations, your bonus this month is expected to reach 6 figures. Remember to treat me to dinner."

After lunch, his copy machine rang five times in the afternoon. Qiao Li, Ni Houdao, and the musicians from Snow Records and Beka Records who had contacted him before were joined this time by Nisuo.

Deputy Director of Records.

Li Fan returned the calls one by one.

The terms of Gunxue Records have been improved. The singer's appointment is a top-tier standard, but the prerequisite is still that the songwriter and songwriter agree to sign together. Of course, the songwriter's appointment has also been improved, and he has been given the minimum standard of a big star in the industry, which is a song.

The song is divided into 1.5 points.

The conditions of Beka Records are similar to Gunxue, but the singer's contract is higher, and there are several profit-sharing clauses, which exceed those of the top tier and are close to the standard of a quasi-king.

This was the first time I contacted Niso Records, and the conditions they offered were exactly the same as Gunxue.

The conditions offered by the three giant record companies cannot be said to be insincere, but they are exactly contrary to Li Fan's two bottom lines.

First, the songwriter’s autonomy, and second, the term of the singer’s contract. The three major record companies all require five years.

It was destined that he would never agree.

After dinner, just as he and Li Ran were about to go downstairs for a walk, the copy machine screamed again. Li Ran didn't want to pay attention to it, but after taking it out and taking a look, he changed his mind.

This call must be returned.

He walked into the room, picked up the phone and called. After the call was connected, he called out: "Brother Wei Dong."

The person who tortured him was Liu Mingliang's agent, Shan Weidong.
