Chapter 48: Album Release

Chapter 48 Album Release

Although "Lady" caused various controversies, it still could not stop it from quickly ranking second on the QQ Music New Songs Chart. The first place was "Lovely Woman".

While discussing "Lady", the MV for "Lovely Woman" has quietly occupied the first place on the MV list, and has also made it onto Bilibili's weekly must-see list.

The MV is amazing, quite amazing, especially Li Qin. As Li He said, "A lovely woman so beautiful that it makes me blush," Li Qin showed her face in front of the camera. No matter whether the person watching the MV is a man or a woman,

Everyone will sigh: "So beautiful!"

Indeed, she is very beautiful. The MV completely captured Li Qin's beauty and instantly attracted countless men and women. Especially the boys, the moment they saw Li Qin, it seemed as if their heart stopped.

Li Qin never expected that an MV could be so powerful, instantly attracting her countless fans and gaining many more good-looking fans.

You know, before, people paid more attention to the appearance of Da Mi Mi, Shi Shi, Tang Yan and others.

From now on, Li Qin's appearance can compete with that of post-1985 actresses. However, as an actor, Li Qin still hopes that everyone will pay more attention to her acting skills.

So when she talked about this MV on variety shows later, Li Qin casually ignored it, hoping that the audience would ignore the effect of good looks. However, her wish was doomed to fail, because of the good response of "Lovely Woman", Li He

I have decided to frequently collaborate with Li Qin on music videos in the future.

The momentum generated by the MV is still not as controversial as that of "Lady". After Gao Dasong's praise and the adulation of listeners who have already heard "Lady", the song "Lady" is gradually accepted by the general audience.

After all, it’s not like we haven’t seen weirder songs before. After all, unlike previous generations when European and American pop music was not popular in China, “Lady” was very weird when it came out, and it was difficult for the audience to accept it immediately.

In this life, I have also been influenced by the pop music circles of Europe, America, Japan and South Korea for a long time, and the acceptance is wider, otherwise those foul-mouthed and pornographic raps would not have become popular.

In view of the controversy caused by "Lady", a well-known music critic launched an analysis on his Weibo.

"First of all, the composition of "Lady" is very strange. The entire composition is completed by three guitars, and pop music generally uses three chords.

Triads are chords arranged in thirds. The relationship between two adjacent notes is a third. Do mi so is a triad. The relationship between do and mi is a third, and the relationship between mi and so is a third.

Seventh chords are commonly used in jazz. On the basis of a triad, a seventh note is added. The relationship between the seventh note, the root note and the tonic note is a major or minor seventh.

However, the prelude of "Lady" uses a ninth chord, and on the basis of the seventh chord, a ninth tone is added.

In addition, although the drum beat of "Lady" is a commonly used R&B drum beat, it sounds weird when paired with the composition. However, the drum beat is actually used with guitar chords.

Finally, the point of controversy is Li Hyuk's unclear singing voice. This is actually a kind of Melodic Rap, that is, melody rap, which has become popular in the European and American music circles recently.

In fact, this is also an important reason why the song "Lady" makes people feel unclear. It not only blurs the Chinese tones, but also blurs the speaking and singing, so that the human voice and the musical instruments are perfectly matched and integrated into a whole.

It is a great attempt for Li Hyuk to connect with the world mainstream."

After reading this music review, netizens felt confused.

"I couldn't understand it at all, but I was shocked..."

"The teacher is awesome. I study music. It was only through the teacher's analysis that I realized how awesome the song "Lady" is."

"It must be Li Hyuk who is so awesome. He is such a genius in composing lyrics and music. What is going on in his head?"

"What a treasured singer. "Lovely Woman" is great, and "Lady" is a hit even after listening to it too many times. I hope Lee Hyuk will continue to maintain such a creative attitude and will definitely buy the album when it comes out."

"I have a hunch that I am about to witness the rise of an era."

"Hurry up, I want to hear ten other songs."

"Me too, I have pre-ordered ten copies and plan to purchase physical albums offline for collection."

Li He's strategy of muddying the waters completely failed Huang Hao's smear plan. Huang Hao was very angry, sitting in his office and furious.

In fact, logically speaking, Li He just won a campus competition, and the two had nothing to do with each other after that. Even Huang Hao inherited the family business at the age of twenty-two and became the president of an entertainment company. He was simply a domineering president.

prototype.

As for Li Hyuk, he still has to work hard in the music industry and fight against various negative aspects such as controversy and piracy. It is much harder than Huang Hao.

But for some reason, Huang Hao saw that Li He was very uncomfortable and displeased, and wanted to destroy Li He. Who would have thought that Li He not only did not collapse, but also became more and more famous.

This made Huang Hao so angry that his teeth itched...

"Are all the people I asked you to prepare ready?" Huang Hao asked the music director.

The music director replied: "It's ready, but Mr. Huang, isn't it a bit too much for us to do this?"

"Nothing is wrong, just do it as you are told. If there is any problem, I will be responsible for it." Huang Hao was determined. He wanted to use free pirated copies to destroy Li He's genuine album.

Such a method is already meant to be fatal. Unless the two companies have a life-or-death feud, this method will generally not be used.

The music director was very worried that Huang Hao would bring down the company by doing this. After going out, he immediately called the big boss for instructions. The big boss didn't answer the phone. His wife did.

"Just do whatever the president tells you to do, do you understand?" Mrs. Huang warned.

"But, if we are found out if we do this..." the music director was interrupted by Mrs. Huang before she could finish her words.

"The president has said that he is responsible. What does it have to do with you that he is responsible?"

The music director understood instantly and complied. This drama of grudges between wealthy families seems to be going on for a long time, but I don’t know who the final winner will be.

No matter what Huang Hao's plan was, after the hype and fermentation of various incidents starting from plagiarism, the "Jay" album that made everyone at Fantasy Studio tired was officially released.

Friday, November 20, 2015, is an ordinary day. Double Eleven has passed, express delivery is still on the way, Double Twelve has not come yet, and everyone still has some money in hand.

At this time, a ground-breaking album "Jay" was officially released. On the day it was unlocked at 12 noon, coupled with pre-sale sales, the digital album sales quickly exceeded 200,000 copies, reaching double platinum sales.

Originally, it was impossible for "Jay" to achieve such high album sales, but the opponent was too polite and helped with a lot of publicity, so it was overwhelmingly popular from the beginning.

As of 12 o'clock in the evening, the sales volume of the "Jay" digital album, which has been online for 12 hours, has reached 350,000 copies, and the number continues to rise, and the range is still very large.

Three hundred and fifty thousand may seem like a small amount, but after all, the sales of a single by Yuan Hua next door at the end of June reached more than 30 million.

But a closer look shows that "Jay" has been among the top ten best-selling Chinese albums in recent years, and 350,000 is not the end point. It will continue to hit sales for a long time.

In addition, Yuan Hua's singles released in June almost all rely on fan momentum. A song costs two yuan. It is not a problem for rich fans to buy thousands of songs at once. Fans who are slightly poorer save money and contribute hundreds.

Sales volume of 80 is not a problem either.

Coupled with the uninformed purchases made by deceived netizens, it seems that two yuan is not worth wasting saliva. The sales volume of 30 million is actually relatively small. According to the estimates of Yuan Hua's agency, there will be at least 40 million.

right.

However, a band called Xinran appeared in July, disrupting the whole plan and making it impossible for passers-by to fool people.

Although "Jay" also sells singles, if you want to buy a whole album, just buy one, and it costs 36 yuan a piece.

The sales volume of 350,000 copies is almost 12.6 million, which seems to be still not as good as Yuan Hua's single sales, but this is only twelve hours of data.

In addition, "Jay" has a physical album released. Although the physical record industry is declining, it can still contribute to considerable sales.

The production cost of the entire "Jay" album reached 2.3 million, including MV recording, record master recording, etc. In addition, thanks to the good people, a series of negative news that turned positive made the album always attract attention.

Saved a lot of publicity costs.

Including distribution, promotion, warehousing, labor and other costs, the final cost of the entire album came to approximately 5 million, which is considered a very high expense.

This is mainly because Fantasy Studio is a newbie, and its channels are not very wide in this area, so it has spent a lot of money on channel development.

Although Fan Tingsheng can help, after all, Starlight Records has invested in Fantasy Studio. However, Starlight Records also has other shareholders, and the help is limited. It still has to rely on the studio itself. Asking others for help also costs money. Sometimes the shareholders don't

It must be one of our own.

However, as soon as the sales of this album came out, both Fan Noxuan and Li He breathed a sigh of relief. At least this album produced profits and started to make money.

Thanks to Cancer book friends for the reward and everyone’s support. How about adding some collections and recommendations?
