She's popularity is nothing short of miraculous, and it can be said that she is the fastest-rising singer group in Taiwan's music scene in the past ten years. ∑ Novel,
For example, Su Rui became famous with her song "If the Wine Is Dried", and her album sales quickly exceeded 1 million. This was because of the factors of hot-selling movies, and Su Rui had been in the industry for 10 years before becoming popular.
Let’s talk about the now-disbanded Little Tigers. Before they released their album, they worked as assistant hosts on a TV station for half a year. Due to the popularity of hosting programs, they embarked on the path of idol singers.
But she became popular without any warning or preview. Newspapers, magazines, and TV stations were all reporting on it overnight, and their records appeared in major video stores as if they fell from the sky.
Among the three girls, Xu Ruoxuan participated in a TV talent show, and Yang Caini used to be a child star in Hong Kong movies, but few people in Taiwan recognized them. The only one who is more famous is Xie Jinyan, who has appeared on TV shows and acted in movies. A supporting role, but that's all.
What makes other singers most irritated is that the average age of the three girls in She is less than 17 years old. They became famous easily at such a young age.
During the New Year's Day holiday, the sales of "Superstar" exploded every day. In half a month, the cumulative sales of records reached 400,000. In other words, in the three days of the New Year's Day holiday alone, "Superstar" sold 140,000 records. Zhang, with an average daily sales of more than 40,000 copies.
After New Year's Day, although the sales growth rate of "Superstar" slowed down, it was still sold at a rate of thousands of copies every day. By the time of the Lunar New Year, the cumulative sales of her first album in Taiwan had exceeded 500,000, making the entire Taiwanese music scene excited. Look sideways.
In 1991, Taiwan's record sales champion was Andy Lau's "Me and the Dream I'm Chasing." Although this record sold more than 1 million copies, that was after including the total sales in Southeast Asia, Hong Kong, and South Korea. And "Superstar" 500,000 copies were sold. But it was only the sales volume in Taiwan within three months. It can be said that it has tied with Andy Lau's records.
There are three reasons for her rapid popularity. Excellent record quality, wonderful image packaging and complete promotion and distribution channels.
As long as one of these three popular factors can be achieved, it is enough to make a singer or group popular, and she has all three. Especially when the Little Tigers have just disbanded, young people who are chasing stars suddenly lose their own Idol, her debut just filled this shortcoming, and from a certain perspective, she can be regarded as a substitute for the Little Tigers.
UFO Records arranged her debut performance at the Little Tigers' farewell concert. This was the idea, and it was very successful in making her inherit the Little Tigers' fans.
In order to let the majority of Little Tigers fans get to know and like her, UFO Records authorized Macau’s Yin Yue Station to broadcast the entire farewell concert. The clips of Little Tigers introducing her and singing two songs were also broadcast on three wireless TV stations in Taiwan. It was broadcast on many cable TV stations. Its promotion efforts were even more intense than those of famous UFO singers like Wang Jie, which shows that UFO Records has high expectations for her.
With the help of Pop Records' distribution network in Southeast Asia, "Superstar" quickly spread to Southeast Asian countries during the Spring Festival, just like blockbuster bombs exploding in the music scenes of Southeast Asian countries.
…
Streets of Singapore.
Several girls rushed into the video store together and asked anxiously: "Boss, do you have any of her records for sale here?"
The boss took out a tape from the shelf and asked, "Are you talking about this "Superstar"?"
"Yes, yes, this is it." The girls were pleasantly surprised.
"I'll buy a box."
"I'll buy a box too."
"Are there any records or videos? I heard that every song has a music video."
"..."
Several girls were chattering, each holding a cassette tape. Two of them also bought records and videos, and then hurriedly left the video store and went home.
They were originally fans of the Little Tigers. They watched the entire Little Tigers farewell concert broadcast by Macau Satellite TV's Yin Yue Channel and were very impressed by She who appeared at the concert.
After asking around, several girls found out that her album was released in Taiwan before Christmas, but they had to wait for more than two months for the news that "superstar" would be released in Singapore.
They hurried back to one of the girls' homes. They eagerly turned on the TV and home video recorder and inserted the record and video tape into the machine.
The first song on the album is not the title song "Superstar" of the same name. It is "Persian Cat" which several girls have never heard before.
On the TV screen, the three girls have magical looks. Stage shots and plot scenes are interspersed back and forth, with Persian cats jumping around all the time. The girls can only rely on their imagination to reconstruct the entire storyline.
"Wow, this song is great, it's the first time I've heard it."
“All her members are so beautiful and cool, Selina is my favorite.”
"Listen to the next song quickly, I really want to watch the MV of "superstar"."
"..."
It didn't go as the girl hoped. The second song on the video tape was not "Superstar", but "Mom and Dad" with a fresh style.
The MV for "Mom and Dad" was shot more realistically, this time with Xu Ruoxuan as the protagonist. She fell in love with a boy early on, but her parents objected to dating, and the two finally eloped together.
Boys and girls will fall in love more or less prematurely. Even if they don't fall in love prematurely, there will definitely be someone they like secretly in their hearts.
The lyrics and music video of "Mom and Dad" quickly impressed several girls. They felt that the lyrics really spoke to their hearts. After listening to it once, they couldn't help but listen to it again.
And when they finished listening to the entire 12 songs of the album, they couldn't help but exclaimed in excitement:
"I always thought that only "Superstar" and "Don't Want to Grow Up" were good."
"Yeah, every song on this record is great."
""I'm Not Huang Rong" is also very interesting."
"..."
1 million, 1.2 million, 1.5 million, 1.8 million, 2 million... The total sales of "Superstar" in Asia have increased wildly, and her fame has spread like cancer cells in various countries in Southeast Asia.
Even on the streets of the Philippines, you can hear young people singing "I am not Huang Rong, I don't know martial arts", and boys shouting to girls, "You are electricity, you are light, you are the only myth."
Two years ago, Little Tigers' second album "Xiaoyaoyou" sold 2 million copies across Asia within 10 days, and now it took three months for her first album to equal this figure.
Many boys and girls not only bought the tape of "Superstar", but also spent money to buy the video version, because the album video has wonderful music videos for each song.
Someone has counted that in the 12 song MVs included in "Superstar", the three girls changed a total of 32 sets of clothes and 15 hairstyles. From rebellious and avant-garde to sweet and cute, the styles of various styles are ever-changing, and they are
The clothes in the MV have also become the object of imitation by girls from all over the world.
Taiwan's "United Daily News" said: "She is another phenomenal singing group after the Little Tigers."
Taiwan's public newspaper "Youth Daily" praised: "She and the Little Tigers represent the new generation of Taiwanese youth and are a reflection of Taiwan's thriving cultural undertakings under the leadership of KMT."
Media reporters are all guys with a keen sense of smell. As she becomes more and more popular, the media will naturally want to get to the bottom of their origins and background.
Soon, it was revealed that Yang Caini was the goddaughter of Kang Jianfei and Lin Qingxia, and that Xie Jinyan was the biological daughter of the famous host Zhu Geliang.
Okay, this is a big deal.
Just being the goddaughter of Lin Qingxia and Kang Jianfei, this news is enough to make Yang Caini the focus of countless media. In Singapore and Malaysia, where Zhu Geliang has countless fans, Xie Jinyan's popularity has also risen sharply, and many four
Fans of the 50-year-old Zhu Geliang also went out of their way to buy a copy of "Superstar" to support their idol's daughter.
Behind she's popularity, Kang Jianfei, the main creator of the album's songs, quickly emerged. The entire album contains 12 songs, and he is the songwriter of half of the songs. It is difficult not to attract attention, not to mention that he is Yang Caini's work.
father.
While many media outlets in Taiwan were competing to report on her, the China Times targeted Kang Jianfei:
"Hong Kong's richest man, Mr. Kang Jianfei, has always been a very controversial figure, especially in Taiwan. His political stance close to the mainland has been criticized verbally and written by many Green Party activists.
But the irony is that She, the most popular singing group in Taiwan recently, was created by Mr. Kang himself. This can be seen from the songwriter column of the "Superstar" album.
Regardless of Kang Jianfei's character and stance, there is no doubt about his talent. The seven songs he composed for her are all extremely exciting, and their lasting impact on Taiwan's pop music scene is second only to Luo Dayou's original album.
The album "Comrade Lover"..."
The statement of "China Times" is not an exaggeration. "Superstar" has indeed had a huge impact on Taiwan's pop music scene.
Although Little Tigers' album sells well, the songs in it are basically covers of Japanese songs, and the genre has always been positive, simple and beautiful youth songs. But this album is different. The seven songs composed by Kang Jianfei have many styles.
It has changed and matured, especially the arrangements of "Superstar", "Persian Cat" and "Mom and Dad", which have opened the eyes of many musicians in Taiwan.
Of course, most people attribute the arrangement credit to Li Shouquan and Chen Zhiyuan, and do not believe how much effort Kang Jianfei put into it.
Suddenly, all the pop musicians in Taiwan are studying the album "superstar". Maybe the Taiwanese pop music scene will be a lot more exciting in the new year. (To be continued...) u
