"In the last album, "Fireworks Easily Cold", Wang Zhengfei used his unique tunes to take us back to the era when literati and customers were popular. There is no specific era, but it is pure Chinese style, completed for Chinese style.
It gave a complete definition and made a perfect footnote for Chinese style, which has not had a complete concept since its birth. This is Chinese style. Wang Zhengfei did not specifically summarize this album.
It has a style that is not as stunning as the Chinese style of the last album, but there is no doubt that this album will not be inferior to the previous album. Perhaps Wang Zhengfei used all the Chinese style in "Fireworks"
"Easy to Cold", this time there is still the Chinese-style song "Three Kingdoms". However, as the theme song of the game, this song also has a bit of a commercial atmosphere, which is disappointing!"
""Three Kingdoms" is probably the song that I have listened to the most times in this album (like many people, I have also listened to this song the most times and really like it, and I also like to listen to it while playing "Three Kingdoms"). This
This song is the highlight of the entire album, which to some extent represents my love for it. I like the light ancient lyrics, Wang Zhengfei’s arrangement, and the distinctive rhythms.
Some people around me like to compare this song with "Su San Shuo" and "Fa Ru Xue". Among the three songs, in terms of listenability, I prefer "Su San Shuo" and "Three Kingdoms". "Fa Ru Xue" is very good.
It sounds good, but it can only be said to be very popular. After listening to it more than three times, it is not difficult to find that this song is too similar to his previous "Dongfeng Po", and lacks freshness and breakthrough (I feel that Jay Chou's song is similar to "Dongfeng Po").
The tunes between the songs are becoming more and more similar). The brilliance of the lyrics far exceeds the melody itself. The melody is relatively flat, which may be more distinctive for Dongfeng Po. Jay Chou is indeed very good at making music.
Talented intelligence. In addition to finding the most suitable lyricist for him, Fang Wenshan, his intelligence is that he has well modified his own voice or singing skills in the arrangement of the music. Leaving aside those things that are easy to catch people's mouth.
Not to mention the melody, Jay Chou uses harmony very frequently in his arrangements. Some even use three or four tracks of harmony for the entire song, or in the orchestration, he uses midi to create a timbre that is very similar to his own.
I personally think this is because his voice is relatively light and can reach a relatively high range among male voices, but the pitch is more than enough but not loud enough. The characteristic pronunciation of Zhou style singing is relatively vague except for the enunciation of the voice itself.
In addition, it may also have something to do with the lightness of the voice. Other singers usually do harmonies to bring out the main voice, but Jay Chou's characteristic is to embed the main voice! Let's talk about "Su San Shuo", which truly brings out the Peking Opera.
This song may be considered as a concept that collides with r&b. It can be said to be the "pioneer" of Su Sanshuo here. Tao Jiji also showed a special version of Su Sanshuo in the song. The bamboo flute is in the song
It sounded melodious and gentle, and the melody was melodious and smooth without losing its continuity.
But no matter what, "Three Kingdoms" is a very good music album, there is no doubt about it, as can be seen from the number of pre-orders of 1.5 million copies!"
The next day, major media outlets conducted lengthy reports on Waiwai's concert, Wang Zhengfei's album, and the launch of the online version of "Three Kingdoms". Although the three events seemed to involve different fields, in fact
They all involve one person, and that is Wang Zhengfei. Not long after, Wang Zhengfei once again became a prominent figure in media reports. All this seems to be an achievement that is difficult to achieve for others, but for Wang Zhengfei, it seems to be
Very simply, Lin Zhiling's magazine cover every month for a year has been regarded as a miracle by many people, but Wang Zhengfei has at least two magazine covers every month. For Wang Zhengfei, becoming a figure at the forefront seems to be
It is already a normal thing.
At this time, Wang Zhengfei did not care about what the media said, but he cared about how his album sales were. After attending the Waiwai concert, Wang Zhengfei did not stay in Fuzhou longer, but directly
When I returned to Yanjing to do the special effects, I had already reached the last and crucial part. After that, I could finish it.
Just after returning to Yanjing, Wang Zhengfei saw Gao Yan's smiling face, so he smiled and said jokingly: "What's wrong, big boss, you are so happy!"
"Haha, of course I'm happy. Now dealers from all over the country are calling and saying that the records are sold out and they want us to ship them quickly!" Gao Yan said with a laugh.
Wang Zhengfei was shocked by Gao Yan's words. It was only a day. Others didn't know it, but he knew it. In order to be able to cope with the vast number of music fans, this time Xingchen Records rushed to produce one million copies.
The records were delivered to dealers all over the country, and with the 1.5 million copies booked in advance, 2.5 million records had been sold in just one day. If this news were told
People outside must be shocked by who knows how many people!
Although Wang Zhengfei knows that the performance of this record will not be bad. Firstly, it has the quality of the previous album. People have a habitual life. Once they are used to buying his records, they will buy it this time.
Yes, and the quality of this album is definitely not bad, but he never thought that 2.5 million records would be sold so quickly. He was actually a little worried, because this album might
The sales volume of the previous album is not as good as that of the previous album, because although the predecessor of Star Records itself has complete distribution channels in the Chinese speaking circle, its overseas channels are relatively scarce. It will take some time to improve this sales channel, which means that this time
Wang Zhengfei's "Three Kingdoms" cannot be released almost simultaneously throughout East Asia like the previous album. It can only be done step by step. By then, record sales will definitely be greatly affected. Although the domestic market is huge, from the above
For an album, it seems that the overseas market is not small at all. Among the 3.5 million sales of the previous album "Fireworks Are Easy to Cold", 1.5 million were brought by the overseas market.
Therefore, Wang Zhengfei still feels that it is a pity. It is very likely that the total sales volume will be affected, and it may not be as good as the previous album. Of course, it is not that he has never thought about the situation of being better than the previous album, but he still does not hold out a lot of hope.
, because the sales volume of the last album was 3.5 million copies. In the whole of Asia, except Jay Chou, who else can come close to reaching this figure now?
But now it seems that the situation is even better than the last album. It sold 2.5 million copies at the beginning, and it doesn't seem to be a difficult time to sell 1.5 million copies in the remaining time.
, that is to say, at least this time it can tie the sales record of the previous album, which is a very good record for both Wang Zhengfei and Xingchen Records, a newly established company.
Inspiring.
"Isn't it true? All one million copies were sold out in one day?" Wang Zhengfei was a little unbelievable.
"Of course it's true. I've confirmed it and it can still be false. Let me tell you, haha, now I'm sure. Someone from Huayan International came over and said that they want to represent you in the overseas distribution of this album.
"Originally, I was still considering whether to hand it over to them!" Gao Yan said.
"Have people from Huayan International come here?" Wang Zhengfei was a little surprised. It seems that the people from Huayan International are really determined to give up. If the person in the world knows the potential of Wang Zhengfei's album best, then it's probably not Gao Yan or even Wang Zhengfei.
They, probably Huayan International, made an album for Wang Zhengfei, and they felt that Wang Zhengfei was definitely one of those talented people. Sure enough, the results after the release of "Fireworks Easily Cold" were very satisfying to them. Three Hundred and Fifty
The total sales volume of 10,000 copies made them a lot of money. The income of 40 million yuan after tax was an astronomical figure even for them. Of course, what they felt more distressed was that Wang Zhengfei also shared almost all of it.
number, but even so, they are still very keenly aware of Wang Zhengfei's unlimited potential. Because Jay Chou alone has made Alpha Company make a lot of money, and now because of Wang Zhengfei, they have also made a lot of money.
, naturally regarded Wang Zhengfei as a cash cow and refused to give up. However, it was a pity that they failed to sign a second album contract with Wang Zhengfei in the end. This was their biggest regret, but later they learned that Xingchen Entertainment had acquired it themselves.
After a record company did it themselves, they were relieved. After all, they didn't believe that Gao Yan would turn a blind eye to how profitable Wang Zhengfei's album was. If he could make money himself, why bother letting others make money? So although it was a bit regretful, there was nothing they could do about it. After all,
Now that the deal is done, there is only one thing they can do, and that is to act as an agent for overseas sales.
They have thoroughly investigated the details of Xingchen Records. They know that Xingchen Entertainment is lacking in overseas distribution, so they are thinking about whether they can represent overseas copyrights. As long as they can represent overseas copyrights, they can make a lot of money.
It will not be less than Xingchen Entertainment, or even much more. After all, this is an agent, and Wang Zhengfei is not only popular in the Chinese speaking circle, but also very popular in Southeast Asia, Japan and South Korea.
"Then what are you going to do now? Act for them?" Wang Zhengfei asked.
