Chen Guodong does not have many fans on Inspur Blog, only 200,000+, which is considered a small v.
However, he is well-known in the pop music world. He is a writer for many music websites and magazines. He has extensive connections in the circle, so there are many celebrity artists and industry celebrities who follow each other on his blog.
After this article "The Silent Majority" was published, it received a large number of reposts.
Music superstars such as Tan Hong, Filia Chen, Flying Stone Music Director Lin Zhijie, famous artist Zhang Zhirong, pop radio host Shu Ping and other big V all gave positive comments, creating a wider impact online.
The next day, September 16, the three words "Lu Chen", "You at the same table" and "Silent Majority" were simultaneously on the hot search list on the homepage of Inspur Blog!
There are also many bloggers who have posted short videos on their blogs that they shot at the welcome parties of their respective schools. The contents are basically live videos of student performers playing and singing Lu Chen's album.
A guitar, a handsome guy, a ballad
Most of these videos were shot with mobile phones, and the picture and sound quality are not good, but the atmosphere at the scene is great, which is enough to illustrate the popularity of Lu Chen's original songs among the student community.
People in the industry were shocked to find that "campus folk songs", a folk genre created by Lu Chen, had unknowingly gained widespread influence with the release of his first album and was recognized by countless young people!
When Lu Chen first promoted his "campus ballad", many people scorned it and even dismissed it as an overestimating sensationalism move.
Now it is entirely possible to leave a mark in the history of domestic popular music!
Some entertainment record companies have keenly noticed this market and are planning to launch works of the same style.
Lu Chen's Inspur Blog has a surge of hundreds of thousands of fans.
Also on September 16th, the sales of "My Deskmate" on Feixun Music exceeded 300,000!
The glasses were shattered on the ground!
You must know that the sales performance of singer's albums on the website are mainly concentrated in the first week, especially the sales volume in the first three days is the top priority. After that, the sales volume will definitely decline all the way, or even plummet.
The reason is very simple. Internet piracy will proliferate as the album sells out. A large number of them will appear in post bars, forums and Feixun groups for others to download for free. It is simply impossible to curb it.
Under such circumstances, even for the works of superstars, the downward trend is irreversible.
"My Deskmate" was released on Feixun Music on the 8th, and it has been eight days since the 16th. It has already passed the prime sales period. Normally, sales should be declining day by day, and it has entered the later accumulation stage.
But no one expected that this album would go against the trend and sell 50,000 yuan on September 16th. It was unbelievable and extremely jealous. It was ridiculous!
This miracle once again strongly proves Chen Guodong's conclusion about the "silent majority".
Because by this time, there probably won’t be many fans of Lu Chen who buy the album.
The success of "My Deskmate" has caused Lu Chen's declining popularity to explode again. Many entertainment agencies and advertisers have called or come to negotiate cooperation with Lu Chen's studio.
Lu Xi was so busy with performances, endorsements, and buying songs that he never had time to take a break from his cell phone all day long.
Of course, Lu Chen left all these matters to his sister.
He believed that his sister would be able to handle it well.
As for Lu Chen himself, of course he couldn't be idle.
At 1 pm on September 17, he went to the Beijing Satellite TV Building to participate in the rehearsal of the National Day Gala of the satellite TV station.
Beijing Satellite TV basically holds four big parties every year. They are the Spring Festival Gala on the first day of the Lunar New Year, the New Year’s Eve Party on December 31, the Taiwan Celebration Party on June 8 and the National Day Party on October 1.
Among them, the Spring Festival Gala and the New Year's Eve Party have always been the highlight of the satellite TV station. Relatively speaking, the scale and investment of the Taiwan Day Party and the National Day Party are far behind, and the ratings have always been low.
However, Beijing Satellite TV is located in the capital city and has great influence. Even for the National Day Gala with low ratings, there are still countless actors and singers trying to stand on its stage, even if it is just to show their faces.
Lu Chen's opportunity to perform at Beijing TV's National Day Gala was originally obtained by singing "Walking and Singing". After winning the championship of "Singing China", it became even more logical, and no one could gossip.
Otherwise, with his status as a new independent artist and his connections in the industry, there is basically no chance.
Lu Chen still attached great importance to this National Day party, so he rushed to the satellite TV building in advance.
With the invitation letter and ID card sent by the satellite TV station, Lu Chen smoothly arrived at the T1 studio of Beijing Satellite TV.
This brand-new studio hall was just opened two months ago. It can accommodate 3,000 live audiences at the same time, with a total stage area of 3,500 square meters. It has advanced decoration and facilities, and is ranked first among its peers.
Lu Chen had been here before, so he was familiar with the place.
There were already many entertainers backstage in the studio hall. Lu Chen saw many familiar faces inside, all of whom were famous singers and stars in the industry. The lineup of this party was undoubtedly quite strong.
Under the arrangement of the TV station staff, he sat down in the reserved seat.
Also backstage, the arrangement of the dressing table is very particular. First of all, top celebrities and superstars do not share large rooms. They also have independent VIP suites available.
Next are the first- and second-tier celebrity idols, who occupy separate spaces separated by partitions close to the entrance and exit of the stage. The third-tier, fourth-tier, fifth-tier, and eighteenth-tier artists are all arranged in neat and unified positions in the large dressing room.
.
As for other ordinary entertainers, such as those who accompany singers and dancers, they basically can only stand in the corner, or even go to the circular corridor outside to wait for preparations. It is not easy to drink water.
Originally, when Lu Chen participated in "Singing China", there were not many singers and contestants, so the backstage was very spacious. Now the rehearsal situation of the party is completely different. It is very lively and crowded inside.
The staff of the TV station must hold an electronic loudspeaker to speak, otherwise it will be difficult to hear the sound clearly.
After Lu Chen sat down, he didn't run around and cause trouble for others. He took out his mobile phone and started playing by himself.
His mentality is very relaxed.
Because today is the first rehearsal, there is no need to make up or change clothes, and it is just a matter of one song.
"Senior Lu Chen!"
As a result, as soon as Lu Chen logged into Feixun, a voice full of surprise came from beside him: "You're here!"
Lu Chen couldn't help but turned his head and smiled immediately: "Xiao Chu!"
The person who greeted him was none other than Mu Xiaochu!
Mu Xiaochu is a sophomore at Beijing Foreign Languages Institute. He is only 19 years old this year and can be regarded as Lu Chen’s junior schoolmate.
Despite her delicate and shy personality, she went all the way in the "Singing China" competition. With a sweet song "Small Town Nocturne", she narrowly defeated the challenger Gao Zhanpeng in Bihai's home singing area with a total score of 91.68 and won the first place.
5 national top 10 places.
In the final national finals, this girl with a sweet singing voice won fourth place overall and was signed by Flying Stone Records.
After nearly a month, Lu Chen was very happy to see this beautiful and cute school girl again. He stood up with a smile and asked, "When did you come here?"
Mu Xiaochu pursed his lips and smiled: "I just came here, together with senior brother Zhang Xiaohai."
Only then did Lu Chen notice that there was a young man wearing a black jacket standing next to Mu Xiaochu.
The man in the jacket was in his mid-twenties, and he was much shorter than Lu Chen in height. He was handsome and fashionable, and had the temperament of an idol, but his expression was a bit sarcastic.
"Brother Zhang"
Lu Chen took the initiative to extend his hand to the other party: "Long time no see, how are you doing?"
Zhang Haohai is also one of the top ten singers in the country in "Singing China". He is a native of Shancheng and a singer from Beijing. He has strong singing skills and is good at dancing. He won third place in the finals and was also signed to Feishi Records.
Lu Chen and Zhang Haohai were not familiar with each other. Apart from the original competitive relationship, there was no enmity or conflict between the two, so Lu Chen was a little puzzled by the other's slightly hostile attitude.
"Singing China" is over.
"well enough."
Zhang Haohai shook hands with Lu Chen calmly and said, "It's not as good as yours to have a good time. You've already released an album."
Lu Chen smiled and said, "It's just good luck."
Since Zhang Haohai is neither salty nor bland, he will not put his hot face on the other person's cold ass.
Mu Xiaochu said seriously: "Senior Lu Chen, what you rely on is not luck, but strength!"
"I bought several copies of your album for my classmates to listen to. They all said it sounded great and wanted to meet you!"
A shy smile appeared on her face, and she said softly: "When can I invite the seniors to have dinner with me?"
Zhang Haohai's face turned a little dark.
Lu Chen understood immediately.
Guess Zhang Xiaohai had thoughts about Mu Xiaochu and was unhappy when the latter took the initiative to get close to him.
He shook his head secretly, but agreed immediately: "No problem, you have my mobile phone number, you can call me at any time, and I will treat your classmates to dinner!"
Mu Xiaochu was surprised: "Really?"
Lu Chen nodded seriously: "Of course it's true. As a senior, how can you deceive a junior girl?"
Mu Xiaochu was amused: "Thank you, senior!"
The two chatted and laughed intimately, but Zhang Xiaohai finally couldn't stay any longer and said, "You guys chat, I'll come over."
Mu Xiaochu and Lu Chen nodded, but neither spoke.
After Zhang Xiaohai left, the two looked at each other and smiled.
Lu Chen could tell that Mu Xiaochu didn't like Zhang Xiaohai, but he just couldn't treat him coldly out of politeness.
Mu Xiaochu said: "Thank you, senior."
The same sentence, the meaning before and after it are very different——
The first update will be sent first, and there will be more tonight!!! (To be continued.)
