Chapter Two Hundred and Twenty-Three 'Say It's Scattered'
"The sales of the last "Nirvana" album were not very satisfactory, but Sister Sui Xi told me that it was not because of the poor quality of the album, but the result of the plagiarism controversy at the beginning."
"So Sister Sui Xi has been talking to me at the end of last month, saying that she wants me to release another album to make up for the current losses."
"Actually, I refused the news when I first heard about it. After all, it can be seen from the "Nirvana" album that Erjing Film and Television was very dissatisfied with my choice to join Cultural and Creative Entertainment, so they suppressed me."
"But Sister Sui Xi told me that the quality of this album is very high, and she is fully prepared. There is no need to worry that Erjing Film and Television will continue to suppress me."
"Well, I was a little unconvinced myself, so of course I agreed after being encouraged by Sister Sui Xi."
"But the quality of those songs is really high! Every one of them is a masterpiece. I believe it will definitely hit the entire market by then."
"I didn't tell you about this in advance because I didn't know yet whether I could succeed in the end."
Li Youqing's thoughts were everywhere in the kitchen, and he recounted the process of releasing a new album one by one. The old man almost cut his own finger with the kitchen knife.
What on earth are you thinking about this damn Suixi?
What I hinted at the beginning was not clear enough!
"Has the recording of the new album been completed? When is it going to be released?" Jiang Bei pretended to be calm and asked about the important news.
Even if an album can be recorded in a month, the copying and printing process has definitely not started yet, so there is still a chance now.
"The recording has been completed, and the release date will be June 9th." Li Youqing replied while washing the dishes.
"A week later? Can it come so soon?" Jiang Bei asked with a frown.
The process required to release an album is relatively complicated. Apart from recording the songs, there is also the production of physical CDs. Logically speaking, the entire process cannot be completed in a month.
"Of course it's in time. In order to avoid the accident of the last physical CD copy, this time the new album directly chooses the most popular digital album for sale. It is very convenient and fast."
Digital album: It is a new album release model derived with the development of the Internet era. Digital albums are stored in digital format and can be used for dissemination on the Internet and wireless networks. This method abandons physical CDs and simplifies the process.
The dissemination speed is fast. Digital album content is downloaded through authorized major music platform websites.
Selling it as a digital album can indeed greatly eliminate many tedious processes and quickly promote it on the Internet.
"Have you contacted the music platform?" Jiang Bei seemed not to care, but his face was heavy.
"The contact is ready, it's on the QQ music platform."
Wow! It’s still a big platform.
What a surprising news.
The news was not good news, so much so that it affected Jiangbei's appetite at night. After eating, he hid in his room early to discuss countermeasures with Liangliang.
"The song your sister-in-law got was probably written by me for Sui Xi."
Liangliang: "I have to say that Suixi is very kind to my sister-in-law. She was even willing to give away ten high-quality songs."
Jiangbei: "Is this the point? The point is what to do now!"
I know in my heart that the quality of the songs I wrote is at least several levels higher than Yan Xien's "Reincarnation", and it will definitely become a hit once it is released.
And leaving aside the album, Sui Xi did not execute the plan according to normal procedures and did not bring out the backstage to suppress Erjing Film and Television. How could he make his father-in-law Li Qiangguo step down?
All aspects of this have been affected.
Liangliang: "What should we do? When gods fight, we can just wait and see what happens!"
Jiangbei: "How to say?"
Liangliang: "Brother, think about it carefully. Now it is my uncle who is personally taking action to suppress my sister-in-law. He should be the one who is most concerned about whether the new album is popular or not. It has nothing to do with us!"
Jiang Bei: "But if Sui Xi doesn't ask her father for help, how can Erjing Film and Television be suppressed and your uncle be frustrated?"
Liangliang: "Why should we let uncle be frustrated? Our purpose is to let uncle understand that sister-in-law is the right girl. As long as sister-in-law's new album can become popular, doesn't it mean that uncle's suppression has failed?"
Hmm...
Looking at the conversation in the chat box, Jiang Bei gradually became enlightened.
Indeed, as Liangliang said, this matter does not really require Suixi to use his background to suppress Erjing Film and Television.
As long as Li Youqing completes a famous achievement while his father-in-law Li Qiangguo is in charge of Erjing Film and Television, it will mean that Li Qiangguo's plan to stop it has failed.
The same reason can prove that Jiangbei is not a spy.
"What if your uncle wants to suppress Youyou's new album again?"
"I guess my uncle won't be able to suppress it this time. Since QQ Music dares to choose to cooperate with cultural and creative entertainment during this sensitive period, it must be well prepared."
"So this time Youyou's new album is destined to be a hit?"
"It's hot! Anyway, it has nothing to do with you, brother. Uncle, I have to take the blame if you don't want to."
"That's true."
The two brothers and sisters chatted and finally decided to sacrifice their father-in-law Li Qiangguo in order to complete the plan.
…
The news of Li Youqing's new album did not surprise Li Qiangguo. On the contrary, he had long thought that his daughter would not give up and would definitely resist tenaciously.
So after getting the news from Jiangbei, he immediately used the power of Erjing Film and Television to prepare to suppress his daughter.
There is only one purpose, and that is to make this new album playable on no platform.
But this time things did not go so smoothly. QQ Music, the exclusive launch platform, did not choose to agree to refuse cooperation with cultural and creative entertainment, even if Erjing Film and Television offered a high price.
This made Li Qiangguo confused and worried, but because the background of the QQ music platform is too strong, and its parent company has a market value of hundreds of billions of dollars, it is simply not something that a small Erjing Group can deal with.
In distress, he could only find Jiangbei and Liangliang to discuss countermeasures.
Li Qiangguo: "Youyou's new album will be released directly in digital form. QQ Music refused to cooperate with us. Do you have any good ideas?"
Jiangbei: "Isn't it okay to pay more?"
Li Qiangguo: "No, QQ Music refused very decisively. There should be no room for reversal."
Liangliang: "How about we acquire QQ Music."
Jiangbei: "Ahem, what are you talking about? QQ Music's current market value is 180 billion, which is as big as three Beijing Groups. How can you acquire it?"
Liangliang: "Hiss~ so high!"
Jiangbei: "That's not true, not to mention that the parent company is the super aircraft carrier of the Internet. How can an owner who is not short of money sell its properties?"
Li Qiangguo: "So we have nothing to do now?"
Jiangbei: "The main reason is that Youyou caught us off guard this time, and the new album is released on an online platform. We really have no better way to stop it. However, the most important thing for online release is the quality of the work. Cultural and Creative Entertainment hastily
I’m preparing a second album for Youyou, so I think the quality won’t be too high.”
Liangliang: "To put it bluntly, I'm betting that my sister-in-law's new album will fail."
Li Qiangguo: “What if Youyou’s new album becomes popular?”
What if it really becomes popular? Naturally, you will step down, and you will be able to whitewash me, Jiang Xiaobei.
Of course, he didn't dare to say this, so he could only hide it in his heart.
There was silence in the group.
But Zhuge Liang soon broke the news: "Uncle, don't worry, my sister-in-law's new album will definitely not be a hit."
Anyone can hear the comforting meaning of these words. Li Qiangguo also knew this, so he didn't pay attention to it. Instead, he mixed a bit of dissatisfaction in the words: "Just bet, I still don't believe this girl is so good."
luck."
…
With Li Qiangguo's tough closing remarks, the response plan for this matter has been formulated - wait and see what happens.
Time soon came to June 9th, and Li Youqing's new album "Let's Break Up" landed on the QQ Music platform with only Weibo promotion.
As a female singer who released two albums in just two months, Li Youqing is the first in the entire Chinese music circle.
Naturally, her second album also attracted a lot of media attention after its release.
Of course, most of the media are not optimistic about the future of the new album. They even wrote articles before hearing the new songs. They titled them as 'The bumpy singing road of the movie queen', 'The proud movie queen is unwilling to fail and makes a comeback', 'Every other line is like Titles such as "Across the Mountain, Singing is worse than Making a Movie" are used to express the media's disapproval of Li Youqing's album.
Netizens also expressed confusion about Li Youqing's behavior of releasing two albums in two months, and went to Weibo to comment.
"Tsundere is not convinced by the failure of the last album and wants to prove himself again!"
"You have to prove that you have the ability. If you want me to watch Tsundere, why don't you go back and make more movies and TV series, and polish your acting skills first."
“It’s understandable to prove it again, but can we really produce a high-quality album so quickly?”
"That's right, it takes three to five months for others to produce albums, and some even take several years. How can it be like you releasing two albums in two months?"
“Shoddy production.”
"I heard that this album is a digital album and will be exclusively available on QQ Music."
"I just went to check it out. A digital album costs 30 yuan, so I can't afford it."
As we chatted, the focus of netizens began to shift to the new album, and all they discussed were the price of the album and the quality of the album.
Since there are people discussing it, there must be people buying this album.
And there are really a lot of people buying it.
In the major groups of Li Youqing's fan club, Lin Yinyin is working nervously to sell her idol's new album.
"The album will be on the shelves soon. I hope everyone will buy it as soon as possible. This will help increase the popularity of the album."
"Fans who don't have money to buy the album don't be discouraged. You can use your daily fan points to redeem them in the redemption group. After the redemption, you can receive equivalent funds to purchase the album."
"This is the final battle to determine whether our family, Youyou, can gain a foothold in the Chinese music industry. I hope every fan can unite and work hard for Youyou's rise!"
After more than two years of hard work, the Li Youqing Fans Support Association has now become an organized and disciplined team. In addition, the idol has many anti-fans, so fans have to fight against anti-fans almost every day, so its unity
It can be said that he is the first and second best fan club in the entire entertainment industry.
An organization with strong unity will have strong action power, and strong action power will naturally lead to strong explosive power.
So in the first hour after the album "Let's Break Up" was released on QQ Music, Li Youqing's supporting fans surprised everyone with their solidarity.
556,701 digital albums sold.
And according to historical data, this data is the highest sales volume in the first hour of digital albums in history.
In other words, the "Let's Go" album broke the record for digital album sales in the first hour.
The terrifying sales volume has made the album "Let It Go" continue to rise in popularity. The only title song "Let It Go" that is free to listen to for a limited time has skyrocketed to the top 3 on the QQ Music Peak Chart.
Other paid songs are also not to be outdone. Among them, "Initial Dream", "The Most Beautiful Expectation", "Once Upon a Time", etc. have entered the top 20 of the peak list, and are rising at an extremely fast speed.
Fans who bought the album also have very high evaluations of the album, and there are almost no negative reviews.
Of course, almost all the people who bought it in the first hour were fans from the fan support club, so there can be no negative reviews in this review.
However, the booming sales and high reviews also made many onlookers feel shaken.
"With such a high sales volume, the songs in it should be pretty good, right?"
"Who knows, maybe it's all a swindle. After all, I heard that the kindergarten fan club was almost out in force today, and the president, Lin Yinyin, even spent millions to support Li Youqing, so this data is very watery."
"But the song "Let's Break Up" is really nice! I think the quality of this album will not be bad."
"That's right, the song "Let's Break Up" is so nice that I want to download it as a ringtone for my phone. Unfortunately, I have to buy a digital album to download it. Now I'm hesitating whether to buy it."
"I bought it anyway, and let me tell you, you won't suffer any loss if you buy it!"
"Then go buy one?"
"It's only 30 yuan anyway, go ahead and buy it."
The solid quality of the album and its impact on sales made fans finally choose to buy this album.
With this purchase, everyone's ears light up after hearing other songs, and they think the album is worth buying, so they will naturally share it with others around them or on the Internet.
Through this method of communication and platform ranking exposure, the sales of the album "Let's Leave" have been rising.
Ten hours after it was released on the QQ music platform, the digital album sales of "Let's Break Up" exceeded two million, becoming the first digital album to exceed two million this year, and breaking Yan Xien's album "Reincarnation".
At the same time, this is also the fastest album to surpass 2 million copies since the recording industry derived digital distribution channels.
Li Youqing, a failed street singer, finally made a comeback with a digital album and regained a new lease of life.
