When he released his first album, Lee Hyuk was already well known to fans and became a top idol in a certain sense.
The second album is about to be released, and the two previously released songs, especially "Nunchaku", have made Li Hyuk truly popular all over the country.
Lee Hyuk is luckier than Jay Chou in that he debuted more than ten years later and the audience is more receptive to various music types.
Songs like "Nunchaku" will not be regarded as non-mainstream music. They have become the mainstay of society and can also be appreciated by the post-80s generation with the strongest purchasing power.
In fact, the two generations born in the 1980s and 1990s spanned the most glorious period of the Chinese music scene in the 1990s.
And the subsequent period of loneliness, and the influence of the Japanese, Korean, European and American music scenes, so I can best understand how rare a musician like Li Hyuk is.
Among Li Hyuk's fans, the majority are those born in the 1980s and 1990s. Those born in the 1995s and 1990s prefer to follow top idols like Yuan Hua.
The single sales of "Love in BC" officially exceeded 6 million on the third day. According to the marketing plan, Fantasy Studio officially released the album's third title song "Simple Love".
This song with a catchy rhythm and a seemingly simple but not very simple song is very popular among female fans, and the number of single purchases has also increased rapidly.
Lee Hyuk once again proved his ability to write love songs, and fans love this song even more than "Nunchuck".
It is undeniable that no matter how many musical themes Lee Hyuk has broadened, his most popular songs are actually love songs.
Love has been an enduring topic since ancient times, and many well-known pop singers are also famous for their love songs.
The song "Simple Love" has also become a sacred song of confession. It has catchy lyrics and melody, and it is not difficult to sing. Many boys have started learning it with their guitars in hand.
On QQ Music, many fans’ confessions have been left in a short period of time, which is very interesting.
"Simple love will last long. Only love that lets it take its course can you realize whether that person cares about you."
“I was listening to a song with headphones at school, and as soon as I played the chorus of Simple Love, my crush suddenly came running around the corner, and I was really stunned for a long time.
I’m still stunned after he left! Hahahahahahahahahaha.”
"The sun sets in the west. In my school days, two people were riding bicycles on the street. I hummed a song and you listened. I still remember your eyes that were full of mine. They may be the purest ones in my opinion.
It’s something.”
Some of these confession stories are true and some are made up, but they have also become part of the song and have been seen by the majority of fans.
Three songs from the album have all been released. The three songs have three different styles, but they are all beautiful enough. Everything indicates that the album "Fantasy" is unusual.
In view of the strength of the first three songs released in Li Hyuk's album, singers who plan to release albums or singles in November are planning to stay away from the limelight for the time being.
Zhang Yixin, who returned to China from South Korea to pursue his career, also had a meeting with his manager and music director. He originally planned to release an EP in November.
Among the four returning sons, only he is not as popular as Yuan Hua and Lu Xiaohan. Compared with the full bloom of those two, Zhang Yixin is currently only developing smoothly in music and variety shows.
In fact, Zhang Yixin knew about the release date of Li He's album from the beginning, but he didn't take it seriously at that time because the two were not the same kind of people at all, nor could they be regarded as competitors.
But the strength shown by Li Hyuk is so terrifying that it can even affect Zhang Yixin, a top idol with a solid fan base.
Therefore, Zhang Yixin had to face a difficult problem, whether to avoid Li He's edge and release an EP at a selected time.
"My opinion is, hide first and then talk. Even if you are gossiped about, it is better than being crushed by Li He." Zhang Yixin's agent suggested.
"However, our EP's promotional slogan has been put out, and now the public knows it. Isn't this a little bit for the fans?" The company's music director has doubts.
The manager said: "If you make excuses and say that the EP production was not completed as scheduled, fans will understand."
Zhang Yixin looked at the two people who had different opinions, but he had other thoughts in his heart. He always thought that he was no worse than Yuan Hua and Lu Xiaohan, but the bloody reality told him that sometimes popularity is so elusive.
Now, another Li He has emerged, so that in terms of Super Chat, he, Zhang Yixin, has always been ranked fourth, with Li He, Yuan Hua and Lu Xiaohan in the top three.
This result made Zhang Yixin very depressed. It didn't matter that he couldn't compare with his two former teammates, but from what corner did you, Li He, come out of to be ranked in front of me?
Don't be convinced, don't be convinced. As a rational person, Zhang Yixin will never act out of anger. The last time Yuan Hua was stepped on by Li He is still fresh in his mind, and Zhang Yixin doesn't want to follow in Yuan Hua's footsteps.
"Needless to say, we will reschedule the issuance and move it to January next year." Zhang Yixin decided on the result.
Seeing what Zhang Yixin said, the manager and the music director stopped arguing. The manager also made an opinion: "Yixin, I think it is necessary for you to praise Li He on Weibo."
"Oh? Why is this?" Zhang Yixin didn't understand.
The manager is well versed in the method of gaining popularity and explained: "Lee Hyuk's new album is about to be released. In the next few months, his popularity and traffic will be the greatest. At this time, we can use his Dongfang to gather a wave of traffic. How can we attract more traffic?"
Not happy."
"But, can Li He take advantage of us?" Zhang Yixin asked.
The method is a good one, but if people don't respond, there will always be a feeling of being hot-faced and cold-assed.
However, the agent did not see it that way: "On the contrary, it would be a bad thing if he interacted with us. It is precisely because Li Hyuk will not interact with us that it shows your broad mind. Even competitors like Li Hyuk
If you treat each other with courtesy, how will the public view you?"
Zhang Yixin nodded in agreement, what the agent said makes sense!
"That's not all. Our EP has been rescheduled, and we can even release false news. Because you appreciate Li Hyuk's music, you don't want to have a head-on collision with him, so as not to hurt both parties, so we changed the release schedule." The manager said.
The music director also said at this time: "Through the grapevine, you can not only make excuses for yourself, but also avoid a lot of verbal disputes. Moreover, if the album is rescheduled, you can also say that you are inviting Li Hyuk to sing.
Let the public guess whether He has written it or not!"
Zhang Yixin thought it made sense, so he accepted it.
Later, Zhang Yixin Studio stated on Weibo that because the EP production was not as good as expected, the studio postponed its release until January next year.
At the same time, Zhang Yixin's personal Weibo also said: "After listening to the three songs of Li Hyuk's new album, I was shocked. It turns out that Chinese pop music can still be done like this, which taught me a lot.
By the way, Li Hyuk, when will you have time to write a song for me? @李 Hyuk..."
