In an interview with the media, Yuexiang Media revealed the status of Zheng Qian’s fourth new album.
The two new songs "Father" and "Heavenly Road" that are currently exposed are just two of the songs. The entire album continues the previous practice, with a total of fifteen songs released. The album is named "Still in Bloom".
From the first mini-album to the fourth album now, Zheng Qian has moved forward step by step in the entire industry, developing rapidly at the speed of a rocket. Now he is at the top of the industry, and his popularity is unparalleled.
, but he can definitely be ranked in the top tier. Even in Hong Kong, he can compete with Hua Tsai and Wai Tsai.
Maybe there hasn't been much turmoil in the film industry.
But in the music world, everyone knows that Zheng Qian is a top singer-songwriter. At this time, Zheng Qian has the conditions to sing and act well. Many film appointments have already come in one after another, filling the notice library, and the salary is even higher.
It rose again and again, reaching a height that was jaw-dropping.
This is top-notch popularity.
Even if it's just a cameo, the capital will give him a huge salary.
Not to mention that Zheng Qian also has the representative film "A World Without Thieves".
Although he is not the protagonist, his role in the play is particularly bright.
With the potential he has shown so far, he may even win the Best Newcomer or Best Supporting Actor award at the end of the year.
"Still in Bloom" will be launched in Hong Kong, Mainland China, Taiwan and Macao in mid-July.
It will then be launched in Japan, South Korea and individual ASEAN countries.
At the same time, Universal Music will also hold a second concert tour for Zheng Qian in Asia.
However, before that, the English single album published by Sony Records, with an initial printing of 20,000 copies, will be tested in Los Angeles, USA and Toronto, Canada.
I have to say that Sony Records is still very efficient.
After signing a single disc agreement with Zheng Qian, he immediately contacted the factory to start production. However, even Sony Records, with its deep pockets, would not rashly increase the first printing volume.
After all, traditional records are visibly sluggish.
There are already many channels for downloading on the Internet, and they are becoming genuine. Users can purchase digital music downloads as long as they top up their online wallets.
Although it is difficult for many people to accept it, the number of genuine users is increasing rapidly.
So this time Zheng Qian's English single album only printed 20,000 copies.
And we have to test the waters in two different countries and cities.
Because Zheng Qian is not very popular in North America, the general public has never heard of him.
Therefore, even though Saki Yuri personally recommended it, Sony's North American headquarters did not make much announcement at the beginning.
We can only resign ourselves to fate and distribute 20,000 singles to distributors in Los Angeles and Toronto.
July 7, Toronto.
Daniel, a programmer in charge of the company's network security at a technology company, was chatting with his girlfriend on MSN.
"Qin's single album has been released. Dear, I am a fan of "The Three-Body Problem". You must buy two single albums for me. They can only be purchased in Toronto and Los Angeles. Please let me support Qin."
"Don't worry, I'll deliver it to you after work. I'm on vacation tomorrow. Hehehe, little baby, wait for me."
Daniel, a white young man who works as a network security officer in a technology company, excitedly drove to a nearby record store as soon as he got off work.
There were very few people in the store and it was deserted.
Since music mobile phones and MP3s became popular, physical record stores have slumped at the speed of light. This is the general trend. Even ordinary people understand this, so capital has begun to lay out the digital music market and compete for various digital music copyrights. This has also made
Many original musicians have earned an extra amount of royalties in this era.
Physical stores have become the sentiment of fans. Although there are fewer and fewer people, there are still a considerable number of people who are willing to come here to buy albums of singers and then take them home or play them on the car CD player.
The sound quality is naturally not comparable to that of ordinary MP3 players and the ever-changing mobile phones. This has become one of the few reasons for the old-minded party members to comfort themselves for wasting money...
Daniel walked into the store and found the clerk lying drowsily in front of the counter. He looked like he had taken too many drugs.
He shrugged and turned around to find the target.
Single discs have a special place on the bookshelf. Especially the single discs that have just been released are more obvious and easy to find.
It only took Daniel less than ten seconds to see a pure black single disc. Because the cover was too simple, it was particularly conspicuous. There were three songs written on it, namely "You Inspire Me" and "Faded".
" and "You Are Not Alone". Apart from the Sony Records logo and address, there aren't many bells and whistles.
So much so that Daniel felt as if he had picked up the wrong single.
Doesn’t it mean that Qin is a top writer? He shouldn’t be treated like this!
Daniel didn't know much about his girlfriend's idol, but after listening to his girlfriend's excited and crazy introductions, he subconsciously thought he was a big shot, but now...
He looked at the single CD he found in almost the most remote corner, shook his head, and then took out two more, making a total of three, and took them to check out.
The cashier finally woke up and was a little surprised when he saw the three singles that Daniel pulled out: "Hey, man, are you also a fan of Qin?"
"Me? No, I bought it for a friend."
Daniel didn't want to talk to the addict. After paying the bill, he walked out of the store and returned to the car. He took out one and put the remaining two on the seat. Then he unpacked the single in his hand and put it in the car.
In the central control CD player.
Then, he started the vehicle and started driving towards his girlfriend's home who was unemployed in the countryside. The whole journey was almost 100 kilometers.
On the way, the first song "Faded" was played, and the dynamic music started playing instantly.
Daniel's attention was immediately attracted!
“Youweretheshadowtomylight
Didyoufeelus
AnotherStart
Youfadeaway…”
Daniel's feet that originally wanted to speed up slowed down instantly.
This ethereal singing...
This powerful singing voice...
How does it come together?
You can't have your cake and eat it too, but this guy just hit a home run!
Top singer!
The amazing feeling instantly flowed into my heart.
This made Daniel feel slightly numb, and his hair almost stood on end.
Obviously he didn't have too many expectations, but when the song came out, Daniel instantly felt like the sound of nature.
The lower the expectations, the higher the excitement of feedback!
Especially the lyrics are so poetic and picturesque, my God, it feels like a poet singing.
"You are a shadow that follows the light of my life.
can you feel each other's presence
It's a new beginning again
Your figure is fading away..."
"Oh, God! This guy's voice is so shocking!"
Daniel slammed the armrest box and shouted excitedly.
Then, when the chorus started, the electronic music became violent, like a fire burning in his chest, and Daniel suddenly started shaking his head to the music!
“Whereareyounow
Where are you now…”
Daniel even hummed along with a refrain that kept repeating itself.
It was so brainwashing that it made people remember it immediately. He even couldn't wait to take out his mobile phone and call his girlfriend Celine, wanting to share the joy immediately.
When the phone was answered, Daniel laughed and said, "Honey, I bought that single CD you mentioned!"
"Really? That's great, God, there's still stock and it's not sold out? Daniel, do you know? I heard that it's all sold out in Los Angeles! The book friends in the Science Fiction World Forum raised funds to buy it, and once it arrives,
They were all swept away, all to support Qin!"
"I think it's not just support, but this single is really nice. Listen, do you hear it? I'm playing his song... Where are you, Atlantis?"
Lost in the deep sea, lost in the deep sea..."
"What beautiful words...wait a minute, my God, you've already opened it?"
"No, no, no, I've already bought an extra copy! It sounds really good! But unfortunately, Celine, no one in Toronto seems to appreciate this single. When I went to the record store, there were
There are many, many Qin singles that no one cares about!"
"Ahhh! Is it true? Daniel, great, I will spread this news to the forum. This is first-hand news. I believe it will help many book fans!"
Daniel wanted to say something else, but Celine had already hung up the phone and suddenly became depressed.
He felt it. As a fan of "The Three-Body Problem", Celine actually didn't care much about whether Qin's songs were wonderful. She just wanted to simply support her idol.
But such a beautiful song should not be buried...
Daniel was very sorry.
On the other side, Celine opened her laptop at home in the countryside, quickly logged into the Science Fiction World Forum website, and edited a thread excitedly: "Dear comrades, Qin's single album "You Are Not Alone" is here in Toronto.
There are still a lot of goods. The damn guys at Science Frontier have a monopoly on the inventory in Los Angeles, but they can't reach Toronto yet. There is still a lot of inventory that has not been sold! Come on, everyone, I have already bought it.
Three of them!”
"Sofa! Really? Mikasa, thank you so much!"
"Thank you Mikasa for the first-hand news. I will contact my friends who are studying in Toronto. I must buy ten of them to support Qin!"
"The publishing house has obtained the first part of Qin's second work "Dark Forest" and it will be released soon! In order for Qin to write well, everyone should support Qin and don't let our respected writers suffer from poverty!"
"Is Qin still living in the era of Hong'an Base? Maybe, after all, it has only been thirty years, and China is still a developing country!"
"It's such a pity that such a national treasure writer was born in China. Why not come to the United States?"
"That is, the United States has such a big market and so many book fans who come to the United States to develop, they will definitely be able to live in a big house!"
"No one wants to leave their hometown. I fully understand Qin's thoughts!"
"Stop talking, I'm going to steal dad's money to buy a single!"
"I want to buy ten copies and keep them. Many years later, when Qin really becomes a world-class writer, I think such a single album must be very valuable, hehe!"
"I bought twenty copies. I have full confidence in Qin. Ten years later, these singles will be absolutely worth a fortune!"
“It’s monumental!”
"Friends in the building, your focus is wrong. You should not have a sympathetic attitude. Qin does not need your sympathy. You should respect Qin's hard work. He wrote these English songs specifically for you. The most important thing is
The thing is, guys, I just listened to the songs on this album, and they’re really good!”
"I listened to it too. I just bought it in Toronto. It sounds really good. It has a completely different feeling. Is this the Chinese aesthetic? I like it so much!"
""Faded" is very exciting. I was listening to it while driving. Really, I almost reached 260 mph. It was so surprising!"
""Faded" is an electronic music song. In addition to "Faded", the other two songs on the single disc are also very nice and very inspirational."
"Yes, "You Inspire Me" is especially suitable to listen to when giving instructions, but I like "You Are Not Alone" the most. Qin's singing really touched my heart!"
"I can't imagine how a Chinese can speak English so well without even an accent. This is amazing. It seems that he is a genius proficient in multiple languages as written in the information!"
"Geniuses always figure it out. If you can write a majestic work like "The Three-Body Problem", you can naturally write a heart-warming song like "You Are Not Alone"."
"I want to become Qin's fan. It sounds so good. I have played "You Are Not Alone" ten times!"
As more and more people hear the single "You Are Not Alone", there are more and more discussions on the forum.
The members of the "Science Frontier", the official readers association of "The Three-Body Problem", saw all this and were extremely anxious. They raised funds to buy 10,000 albums in Los Angeles, but they did not expect the speed of delivery.
so slow!
No, they had actually anticipated the logistics speed.
It's just that they didn't want to hear the song for the first time.
They just want to give their idol Qin the greatest support as soon as possible.
However, they did not expect that so many people in the forum would applaud the song!
This immediately attracted the attention of these elite readers, as if they saw a cake that was beyond their mouths, and they suddenly became anxious.
Only then did they feel a little regretful.
If we don’t raise funds together...
Just drive out and buy the single!
At this time, I am afraid that I have heard the so-called Divine Comedy!
Fuck, the clown is me!
Now, they need to wait one to two days for the logistics to be delivered to their home before they can listen.
This makes these "scientific boundary" elites a little angry.
They claim to be the top readers of "The Three-Body Problem", and to join the organization Scientific Frontier, there is no doubt that they are all people with status and assets.
At present, every reader of "Three-Body" hopes to join the scientific boundary.
Unfortunately, as the number of readers of "Three-Body" increases, the threshold for joining the scientific community becomes higher and higher.
Readers whose annual salary is less than half a million US dollars or who do not have a certain status in the industry have no way to enter the scientific boundary.
Nor can I enjoy the benefits of networking brought about by social circles within the boundaries of science.
As time goes by, Science Frontier has gradually become a book fan organization that transcends the position of readers.
Even to ordinary readers, the attitude is a bit condescending.
This has also caused dissatisfaction among many people in the forum, but this does not prevent the boundaries of science from growing.
Although the status and strength of the scientific frontier are getting higher and higher, today's matter was handled really badly!
They are all social elites! They are members of the scientific boundary!
But now, the treatment he enjoys is even worse than that of ordinary readers!
Ordinary readers have at least heard the songs in "You Are Not Alone", and have begun to share them on the forum and start showing off.
But the album they purchased is still on the way...
As you can imagine, the logistics speed in the United States is extremely inefficient. Even if it is in the same city, it will take several circles to deliver it.
At the same time, it is also because things are rare and valuable.
The single album "You Are Not Alone" actually began to be sold at a public increase in price on the forum...
Readers from other countries and regions without goods saw this scene and immediately felt hope, and all of them responded excitedly to bid!
