Chapter 112 : Tu Bang! A new album that is so popular that it turns purple!
On October 18, Cao Jun's new album "Golden Era" was officially released across the country.
Song Ke, the boss of Wheatfield, attaches great importance to Cao Jun's album. He not only wants to make money from ring tones, but also wants to make money from records.
In fact, as early as half a month ago, after Cao Jun's second album "Golden Age" was completed, Maitian Company deliberately avoided Beijing, where piracy is rampant, and secretly sent the master tapes to the production base in Chongqing.
In order to prevent "surveillance and theft", 8 cameras are hidden in the production workshop for 24-hour rotating surveillance.
At the same time, every album produced must be registered.
Unexpectedly, such a strict anti-piracy mechanism can still allow people to take advantage of loopholes.
When the records were sent to a warehouse in a southern city, 6 boxes were missing, and they couldn't be found no matter how hard they looked.
If these 5,000 records fall into the hands of pirates, they will be on the market in less than three days.
Fortunately, this incident did not happen, and Cao Jun's "Golden Age" was successfully released.
It is worth mentioning that Cao Jun’s album has signed overseas copyrights and has been distributed in Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand.
Song Ke's goal for this album is to sell 5 million copies across Asia, with a minimum of 3 million copies.
Cao Jun is also going all out this time. In addition to appearing on various TV and radio programs to promote the album "Golden Era", he is also planning to select several cities for autograph signing activities.
Under the indiscriminate publicity bombarded by wheat fields, Cao Jun's new album "Golden Age" has gained great attention.
On the first day after its release, "Golden Age" sold more than 100,000 copies.
On the second day after the release of "Golden Age", sales exceeded 200,000 copies.
On the third day after the release of "Golden Age", sales exceeded 400,000 copies.
…
At the same time, 9 songs in Cao Jun's new album have all appeared on major music charts.
Because there are no major releases in the Chinese music scene this month, Cao Jun's new album can be said to be unique and has no rivals at all.
The most interesting scene happened. In the latest week's ranking of the Chinese chart, Cao Jun's new album's title song "Daoxiang" strongly claimed the top spot, followed closely by "The Lonely Warrior", and "The Brightest Star in the Night Sky" ranked second.
three.
This is not considered awesome, but the most awesome thing is that from the 1st to the 10th place on this list, 8 of the songs are composed by Cao Jun.
A proper massacre!
This new album by Cao Jun is simply awesome.
Let’s not talk about Hong Kong and Taiwan, but let’s talk about our mainland. Since the beginning of pop songs, there has never been such an awesome work.
If they don't make a lot of publicity and hype, they won't be able to afford the press credentials in their pockets.
This moment made the media extremely excited. They all called Cao Jun "King Cao", the number one Chinese pop music artist in mainland China.
Speaking of which, we actually have Heavenly Kings in the Mainland, and they are the Four Heavenly Kings. There are many versions of the Four Heavenly Kings in the Mainland.
The most famous Four Heavenly Kings refer to the four artists Mao Ning, Liu Huan, Xie Xiaodong and Sun Nan.
However, the so-called Four Heavenly Kings in the Mainland have not been hyped up and most people do not know about them. The audience generally does not call them Heavenly Kings, but calls them teachers.
Many music critics also took advantage of the popularity, but they spoke very highly of the album "Golden Era" and considered it to be the most awesome hit album in the history of the mainland music scene.
So far, Cao Jun's album has almost completely dominated the mainland music charts, sales, reputation, and popularity.
In addition, Cao Jun also caused considerable repercussions in Hong Kong and Taiwan with his album "Golden Era".
October 26th, evening.
Taipei, Ximending.
Jay Chou, who is wearing a mask and hat, and Nanquan’s mother’s warhead are buying milk tea in a milk tea shop.
Just when Jay Chou and Warhead finished buying milk tea and were about to go home, the song "Daoxiang" sung by Cao Jun came from the loudspeaker of the milk tea shop.
Gu Bai
"Remember, you said home is the only castle
With the fragrance of rice, the river continues to run
Smile slightly, I know my childhood dreams
Don't cry, let the fireflies take you away
Country songs, eternal reliance
Go home, go back to the original beauty
…”
Jay Chou stopped and said: "Oh, that's good! Who wrote this song?"
Warnhead also stopped and replied: "It was written by a mainland singer named Cao Jun. He is very popular in Taiwan Province recently. You are not so out, are you? You have never even heard of his name..."
Before Warnhead could finish speaking, Jay Chou frowned and interrupted: "Don't talk! Let me listen."
Obviously, Jay Chou was also attracted by the lyrics and arrangement of Cao Jun's song "Daoxiang".
Jay Chou feels that the style of the song "Daoxiang" is very friendly. It is a bit similar to his style, but also a bit different. I can't tell what it feels like.
"Chasing dragonflies barefoot in the field until tired
I picked fruits secretly and was stung by bees.
Who is snickering?
I leaned against the scarecrow, blew the wind, sang songs, and fell asleep
…”
Hearing this rap, Jay Chou's eyes suddenly lit up, and he suddenly realized, and then he said confidently: "This guy must be my fan. The singing style of this rap is very similar to my style!"
Warnhead also felt that the music style and singing method of this song were very similar to some of Jay Chou's previous works, and said with emotion: "Listening to what you said, it seems to be a bit similar. Isn't he really a fan of yours?"
Jay Chou said angrily: "It must be, there is no doubt about it! My feeling is never wrong!"
October 28th.
Cao Jun's second album "Golden Era" officially sold more than 1 million copies in Asia on the 10th day after its release.
Among them, "Golden Age" sold 30,000 copies in Hong Kong and 60,000 copies in Taiwan, successfully opening up the Hong Kong and Taiwan markets.
The sales performance of "Golden Age" is still being constantly refreshed.
In order to celebrate Cao Jun's new album "Golden Age", which successfully exceeded 1 million copies, Song Ke specially held an ice-breaking press conference for Cao Jun.
The so-called ice-breaking press conference was actually Cao Jun on stage, in front of reporters and media, smashing the ice sculpture with the words "1000000", which meant that the album sales exceeded 1 million.
It is worth mentioning that Jay Chou's new album "Chopin in November" will also be released on November 1.
Because Cao Jun's "Golden Age" was released at the same time as Jay Chou's "Chopin in November".
The media, who are in urgent need of material for hype, also want to seize this opportunity and hype up a wave of big news about "king vs. king".
When asked by a reporter whether he was afraid of confronting Jay Chou, Cao Jun said modestly: "Zhou Tianwang is a singer-songwriter that I personally admire very much. There is no competition or comparison between us. We each have our own world." "
The reporter didn't give up, and then asked: "Are you confident that you can surpass Jay Chou in terms of sales?"
Cao Jun said calmly: "I still say what I said. There is no competition between us. The Chinese-speaking market is huge. There is no need for us to compare with each other. It is good for a hundred flowers to bloom!"
On November 1st, Jay Chou's new album "Chopin in November" was officially released across the country and competed with Cao Jun's "Golden Age".
Like Cao Jun, the reporter, who did not take it too seriously to watch the excitement, once again asked Jay Chou the question.
Jay Chou said: "Cao Jun's music style is quite good. Our Chinese music scene needs to have such musicians. We cannot let the Korean Wave become too arrogant in our country. Our Chinese music is the most popular."
