Liao Yuan contacted the director of the Kyoto Opera House and arranged a specific rehearsal time.
Participating in the Spring Festival Gala is no less important than attending the state banquet. After all, this is a program that all Chinese people watch every year. It is the most watched gala in the world. The artists and performance teams that have appeared in the past have all gone out of their way after participating in the Spring Festival Gala.
It's not a huge increase in popularity.
Even some ordinary amateurs can transform themselves into first-line artists, which is enough to reflect the charm of the Spring Festival Gala.
The musicians of the Opera House were also extremely excited after receiving the notice of the Spring Festival Gala.
After work, the musicians have to play "Defend the Yellow River" many times every day to ensure that the final performance does not go wrong during rehearsals and retains the touch.
Just in the past two days, the Spring Festival Gala program team officially announced the 2022 Spring Festival Gala program list on the official Weibo.
The announcement of the Spring Festival Gala's list every year will cause a huge sensation, and this time is no exception. The sketch list in the list attracts the most attention, followed by singing and dancing programs, cross talk, acrobatics, etc., and each work is highly anticipated by the public.
Among them, the song and dance program "Nobody" performed by Lucky Girls 101 is also on the list.
After half a year of brewing and fermentation, this song has become very popular at home and abroad. It was chosen by the director of the Spring Festival Gala, which is an unexpected surprise for many people.
Secondly, there are choral works by some popular actors and singers.
The Kyoto Opera House’s defense of the Yellow River has also aroused heated discussions among people.
Although it is not sensational news in the entertainment industry, in the music industry, defending the Yellow River has once again established Liao Yuan's weight in the minds of his peers.
It has been featured in state banquets and Spring Festival Galas, and has even been included in primary school textbooks. This sign of being famous in history makes many musicians envious.
Soon, a week passed and Christmas Eve came.
On the eve of this Christmas, when many people are happily searching for their long-lost siblings, Liao Yuan's first solo music album finally landed on the three major music networks after a week of low-key promotion.
The three major digital music network platforms are Caiyun Music, QQ Music, and Hot Dog Music.
Among them, Caiyun Music is one of the genuine music websites with the highest payment rate, followed by QQ Music and Hot Dog Music.
Liao Yuan's album is called Liao Yuan's Music House, which covers unravel, Flight of the Bumblebee, the fact that you left, lastreunion, summer, mysoul, city in the sky, electromagnetic gun, dance of flowers, street where the wind lives, riverflowsinyou,
Two parts of War Rhapsody, and fifteen works including Defending the Yellow River and Senbonzakura.
Most of them are J Station and entries related to the One Emperor and Four Emperors Competition.
There are also pieces of music such as war rhapsody that have gained international fame.
The only new song in the entire album is Senbonzakura, a collaboration with Pei Hongyu, played by violin and piano at the same time.
After all, it is a piece of music that has to be released online for a fee, and its sound quality is much better than the version circulating on the Internet. In addition, there is a new song Senbonzakura, which is one of the reasons why many music fans are willing to buy the entire album.
Each song is priced at two yuan, members enjoy a 9.2% discount, and super members enjoy a 12% discount.
If you purchase the entire album at one time, you can also enjoy a discount of RMB 3 for ordinary members, and RMB 5 and RMB 10 for members and super members.
The highest discount is as low as 20 yuan. This price is almost the same as that of ordinary albums, and many music fans are willing to shell out their wallets and set up super membership to purchase it.
In the comment area under this album's page, many passers-by were surprised to find that most of the people who bought this album were teenagers.
"I can't help it. I'm a piano major. The teacher said that all Liao Yuan's works will be focused on and will be tested."
"Concert tickets are much more expensive than digital albums, but the album is still a good deal!"
“I worship Teacher Liao!”
"Teacher Liao's piano skills are superb and he will be invincible in his life!"
"Brothers and sisters, I am taking an exam. Who can tell me what kind of spirit is shown in defending the Yellow River? Waiting online, it's very urgent!"
“Liao Yuan’s piano music is so comfortable to listen to!”
"Liao Yuan is China's first pianist, do you have any objections?"
"I'm convinced!"
“Served 1”
“Served 2”
There are also many singers who announced the release of new albums on Christmas Eve.
Among them, Taiwanese singer Zhang Zhenzhe, who has won multiple Golden Melody Awards, Mainland internet celebrity Feng Junyi, and Malaysian diva-level singer Sun Shan, have all been ready for success a long time ago.
In the two weeks before Christmas, the title songs of three singers' albums occupied the top three spots on the hot song charts respectively after intense promotion.
On Christmas Eve, at six o'clock in the evening, the digital albums of three popular singers were also launched at the same time and were open to users for purchase.
In front of these three singers, Liao Yuan's music album seems to have no ability to fight back. There are no works by Liao Yuan in the top ten of the hot song list.
After all, the sales gap between pure music albums and song albums in the past is obvious to all.
In this regard, some pure music creators don't even have the idea of making a profit. They just upload songs and give listeners free trials. This can maximize the accumulation of popularity of their works. If they charge a fee, they will definitely have nothing to gain.
However, Liao Yuan is different from ordinary musicians after all. His past resume is legendary and his status in the circle is transcendent.
Therefore, the three major music networks have tried their best to give Liao Yuan's music house a certain amount of cover exposure.
But the effect doesn't seem too obvious.
However, in the official backstage of Caiyun Music Network, the operators quickly discovered the difference in Liao Yuan's music album.
As soon as the album was released, the sales of Liao Yuan's music house showed a sudden growth trend, like a rocket, flying straight from the ground to high altitude. It was not until half an hour later that the sales growth trend slowed down.
In this half hour, Liao Yuan's music house sold a total of 11,000 copies. Calculated at 30 yuan per album, this album sold 330,000 yuan in half an hour.
Of course, some discounts must be deducted from this, but even so, the sales figures exceeding 10,000 in half an hour really surprised the operators.
This is a number that many domestic pure music albums cannot match.
The album sales of the other three popular singers, Zhang Zhenzhe and Sun Shan, were 27,000 and 15,000 respectively. The album of Internet celebrity Feng Junyi reached over 30,000.
Moreover, the album sales of these three singers continue to rise.
After the rapid sales of Liao Yuan's album for half an hour, there was obviously a buffer, and the sales gradually leveled off.
This also made Feng Junyi and other singers relax a little.
Although it is just a reference data for a music platform, compared with Liao Yuan's intimidating status and reputation, this result is obviously easier for Feng Junyi and others to accept. Invisibly, it also eliminates Liao Yuan from the team of competitors.
