Many singers have released albums with the kings, raising the popularity of the entire Chinese music scene to the highest point. Various news about the fights between the kings and powerful players have emerged one after another, making everyone feel a kind of revival of physical albums. It seems that there is no such thing in the Internet age.
The illusion of complete arrival.
But……
This grand occasion was just a flash in the pan, lasting less than ten days.
Then, this grand occasion dropped sharply, causing all the singers who wanted to release albums and gain popularity to tremble.
The winter of physical albums is really coming!
The album sales rankings are decreasing at a speed visible to the naked eye every day.
Zhou Tianwang's new album "Don't Wait for Me" has been bombarding Taiwan and mainland China for only two days. The number of on-demand songs on the Internet is still terrifying, but the sales volume of the physical album has dropped to 700,000. Just five days later, the sales volume of the physical album has only dropped to 700,000 in one day.
It can be sold for less than 300,000 yuan...
Singer Wang Yu's new album "Flywheel" is also very popular on the Internet, but unfortunately, after eight days, the physical album dropped 80,000...
Queen Wang Lei's album "Next Stop Sunshine" was very popular. It hit Zhou Tianwang on the first day, and An Xiao on the second day. After five days of speculation, the album was announced to be off the market. It only relied on a fan on the Internet.
The title song "Next Stop" barely maintains the popularity of the queen...
An Xiao has not escaped the fate of a sharp decline. Although "Little Lucky" has become popular all over China, in the streets and alleys, in online live broadcasts, and in some programs, the physical sales are still steady.
After being defeated, on November 17, the price finally dropped to 300,000...
Three hundred thousand, finally holding on to the last bit of dignity.
As for...
You mean rock king Chen Feng?
perhaps……
The worst album release in November was rock king Chen Feng.
The sales of physical albums by other singers are not impressive, but at least the sales on the Internet are explosive, and can they still be sold in the physical market?
At least it can make a lot of decent money for the company.
But what about Chen Feng...
Very pitiful!
The physical album took three days to sell, but it couldn’t be sold anymore!
Even if you give away autographs and hold various activities, you can't sell it.
In the end, the manufacturer could only announce the suspension of production, and all major stores suspended sales. Joaquin Company directly lost money and made a profit without complaining, and even the download and on-demand volume on the Internet did not even rank in the top twenty...
The number of hits for the top twenty is in millions anyway.
But when it comes to Chen Feng, the number has directly become one hundred thousand, and the number of clicks on the song is even comparable to that of some second- and third-tier singers!
This moment.
Chen Feng became a joke.
After all, Joaquin invested no less than ten million in Chen Feng's new album, and all aspects of publicity and channels gave him enough face.
but……
I really can’t pull it up!
November 16th.
"Brother Chen, you should give up. Mr. Xu will not see you. I believe you also know some internal information about the company..."
"I want to know the reason. I want to know whether it's because my album failed..."
"No one knows, but Brother Chen, the failure of your album should also account for a large part of the reason..."
"..."
Joaquin Building.
It still looks so tall and majestic.
Chen Feng was sitting on pins and needles in the building. Everyone looked at him strangely, as if they wanted to say something but couldn't.
There was no ridicule, no attack, and no condescension.
On the contrary, there was a sense of sympathy deep in everyone's eyes.
After Chen Feng stood in front of the general manager's office and hesitated for a while, he finally lowered his head and turned to leave.
When he walked out of the moving company, he wrapped himself in clothes.
Although it is autumn now, Chen Feng feels unusually cold for some reason.
He put on his hat and sunglasses and hailed a taxi.
He didn't know where to go, so he just wandered around the streets of Yanjing.
Am I wrong?
But, what did I do wrong?
Chen Feng closed his eyes silently and looked at the rows of high-rise buildings, and then his eyes became unusually trance-like.
Am I really not good at singing, or am I not good at singing?
Just at this moment...
A familiar melody suddenly appeared in the taxi.
This melody is a song in his own album, a single called "Ye Ye".
"Hey, what a pity..."
"Master, what's the pity?"
"The quality of this album is very high. Chen Feng's singing skills are as affectionate as ever. At the same time, it is also very touching. It has the flavor of the past, but not many people listen to it now..."
"Master, why do you think not many people listen?"
"Haha, how do I know? I just know that I bought this album for my son to listen to. My son heard half of it and said what kind of thing this album was about. He also bought something that no one listens to on the Internet...Young man
People always don’t understand many things...I think it’s not a question of quality, but a question of the times..."
"Master, can you say it again?"
"This kind of thing is the same as rock and roll. Rock and roll is a kind of emotion, but it is very niche... The teenagers who once sang loudly for rock and roll have to grow up now..."
"Master, do you think rock music is dead?"
"How is it possible that Lu Yuan's brother-in-law Wang Hao's rock album isn't selling very well?"
"..."
Chen Feng closed his eyes.
At this moment, Chen Feng suddenly understood.
It turns out that it’s not that his album is bad, nor is it that he is bad.
But he has failed to keep up with the times...
That is to say...
He is no longer needed.
Many times, it’s not that you didn’t do it well, or that you didn’t do it carefully, and it has nothing to do with hard work.
The real reason is that it has failed to keep up with the times and is no longer needed.
"Master, park your car right here."
"Okay, I'll charge you one hundred yuan."
"good."
After getting out of the taxi, Chen Feng looked into the distance.
At this time, he happened to see a movie theater in the distance.
"Ip Man" is playing in the cinema.
"Ip Man".
Martial arts movie?
He was reminded of rock 'n' roll for no apparent reason.
It seems that martial arts and rock music are both products of the last era.
With this strange emotion, he walked into the cinema and watched "Ip Man".
After reading it, Chen Feng felt very touched.
Then he subconsciously searched for the box office premiere of "Ip Man".
When he saw the box office data, he was suddenly shocked!
Martial arts movies actually...
Can it still be so explosive?
Then, after he remembered what the taxi driver said, he finally sighed deeply.
It felt even colder.
Passing by the mirror next to the cinema, he looked in the mirror.
He found that he actually had a lot of wrinkles.
Many people coming and going looked at this middle-aged man wearing a hat strangely.
They felt that this middle-aged man looked like someone, but they couldn't remember it for a while.
Chen Feng scratched his head.
If you were a celebrity like Wei Lai or Han Lu, you would definitely be recognized at a glance standing here, right?
After walking out of the cinema, he silently took out his mobile phone.
After hesitating for a while, he finally made the call.
"Hello……"
"Ah, Brother Chen? Brother Chen, the headlines two days ago have nothing to do with me, and I don't know why..."
"Ayuan..."
"Brother Chen, what's wrong with you? Your voice is not quite right."
"Am I getting old?"
"ah?"
…………………………
The premiere box office of "Ip Man" is out.
China’s total box office exceeded 30 million on the first day!
Although it is not as good as "Journey to the West", let alone "The Pianist on the Sea", it is enough to arouse terrifying popularity.
after all!
"Ip Man" also sold an astonishing box office of one million US dollars in the United States. As always, there was only one theater in Michaels, and it was always full.
After seeing this scene, many theaters in the United States started contacting "Remote" without any hesitation, just like the previous "Saw".
History is always surprisingly similar!
They never dreamed that a Chinese movie could be such a hit!
And this is a martial arts movie.
In this era where martial arts movies have long been sluggish, it is truly an incredible miracle that martial arts movies can create such astonishing data, even for both sides!
They even have a feeling that martial arts can be revived.
With such amazing data and performance capabilities, the popularity of "Ip Man" in China will definitely explode, and it will definitely generate a wave of popularity and headlines.
but……
This time it was not "Ip Man" that made the headlines, but Chen Feng and Xu Cancan.
Yes!
"Big news, big news: Joaquin Entertainment is suspected of selling off its shares, and the general manager Xu Cancan is suspected of not having any intention to manage Joaquin anymore?"
“Which member of the Xu family does Joaquin’s new owner guess?”
"Joaquin..."
The Internet is full of news about Joaquin's big changes.
Of course, it is normal for these news to make headlines.
Where is Chen Feng?
All right!
The reason why Chen Feng made the headlines is very funny...
"Shocked, Xu Cancan, the general manager of Joaquin Entertainment, actually resigned due to the online and physical attacks on Chen Feng's new album?"
"The rock king Chen Feng, one album directly scared away Joaquin's major shareholders? Chen Feng, how difficult is it to listen to your album?"
"In November, Chen Feng, you are destined to be remembered, and you are destined to be tied to the history of Joaquin!"
"..."
Many unscrupulous media outlets posted such mocking headlines at this moment.
Many netizens who didn't know the truth were actually happy when they saw this scene!
A person who can scare the major shareholders of Joaquin into selling their shares, how weird must this person be?
Chen Feng!
Isn’t this so weird?
…………………………
Lu Yuan hung up Chen Feng's call and agreed to meet tomorrow and then subconsciously glanced at the headlines.
He was relieved for the first time!
The headlines have nothing to do with you.
is a good start.
call!
Finally it’s not me who makes the headlines!
When he saw Chen Feng's name on the headline for the second time, he suddenly felt sincerely happy for Chen Feng.
but……
After seeing the content...
Lu Yuan was not very happy.
Hesitate again and again...
He still called Chen Feng again.
"Brother Chen... I have two pieces of news, one good and one bad."
"Let me tell you the good news first."
"Congratulations, Brother Chen, you made the headlines. You finally made the headlines."
"Ah? I...made headlines?"
"yes……"
"Where's the bad news?"
"You... better read it yourself... I think this headline is a bit embarrassing..."
