Chapter 61: Annoyed and angry
December, in the past, was considered a cold winter for the record market.
However, following the big sale of "Sister and Sister Stand Up" around New Year's Day last year, it seems that many record companies have found that there is no so-called cold winter period in the original record industry, even in a certain period of time, everyone's desire to buy will not be as strong as the summer vacation, but the people who should buy it will still buy it, the key is that your song is good.
So, Zhen Zhen, who has been silent for several years, released a new album this winter.
On December 8, "That Sea" was officially released.
As soon as it was released, the album was unanimously praised by the industry, and it also performed extremely strong on the record sales side, with more than 23,000 copies sold in Dongguan Bookstore in the first week of release, ranking first on the chart!
For Zhen Zhen, this first week is already above the middle of the data. And you know, she is Zhen Zhen, for her, it is not uncommon for an album to sell well for several months. Her albums have never been the kind of short-term explosive type, and she is better at selling long-term lines. Although in fact, before Liao Liao and Wuxing Wusu became popular, even if her sales did not explode, she was enough to crush almost all female singers.
Well, in short, if you exclude the feeling of "big explosion" that the market has given everyone in the past year or so, the performance of Zhen Zhen's album in the market is completely expected.
It's just that, compared to Liao Liao's prosperity, compared to the sudden popularity of Wuxing Wusu and Li Junru, as the eldest sister in the music industry in the past ten years, and the first of the four divas recognized by everyone. Zhen Zhen, who returned after a few years of absence. It seems to be starting to lose some of the domineering of the past years.
At least. At present, Liao Liao, whether in terms of market appeal, actual sales, or the comprehensive expressiveness and beauty of the album songs, has steadily overtaken her line.
Of course, there is only one Liao Liao who can hold her down.
At the same time, at the beginning of December, there was another song that suddenly became popular. That's "Big Scalp Shoes".
This song, whether it is lyrics or tunes, is actually not technical, to be honest, a song with a bit of saliva, and the singer sings it a little bit of a child, in short, it just gives you a little bit of a feeling that is not very serious.
But it's just red.
A little nostalgic, a little ruffian, a little confused. In short, it seems to be particularly in line with the psychology of some young people today. Thereupon. Just when Zhen Zhen's new album "That Sea" was on sale, "Big Scalp Shoes" unexpectedly suddenly grabbed the top spot on the Voice of China Radio Golden Melody On-Demand Chart!
Although it only sat on the first place for a short week, and then was driven down by Zhen Zhen's new album title song "That Sea", even so, it was enough.
It is not surprising that fans like this song very much and praise it, and singer Huang Mai suddenly became popular, but most of the fans still don't care about the songwriters of this song at all. Only a very small group of attentive fans, either accidentally glimpsing the lyrics while copying the lyrics, or accidentally passing their eyes over a certain name while listening to the song, in short, they may suddenly feel that the name seems to have seen somewhere, and must have seen it many times.
Of course, the vast majority of these people are just a trance and won't do anything, but there are still a few fans among them, who will rack their brains to think, and then, maybe the next moment, or some day after that, they either suddenly think of something, and then move out their small box with tapes and start looking for it, or they can't think of it anyway, but when one day, when they go to listen to other tapes, they will suddenly be in Liao Liao, Or see that familiar name again in the album lyrics book of the Five Elements.
Li Qian.
Some people will be in a daze, while others will nod their heads and feel relieved after a sudden realization.
At the same time, there will be so few and very few fans, after rummaging through all their music collections, watching that one after another works that they once liked very much, are very much liked now, or have always liked very much, actually have Li Qian's name written on them, and subconsciously write down this name.
Of course, for major record companies, Li Qian's golden sign is becoming more and more shiny and charming.
It's just that, due to various considerations, Li Qian's studio still can't receive any foreign orders for the time being.
Well, the only list is still doomed to have no money to make.
That is, Zhou Ye ran to the studio with his recorded "The Crooked Moon", Li Qian was not there, and Liao Liao, the deputy director of music, received him, and as soon as he listened to the song, he immediately approved him with a bloody sprinkler.
If it was before making the album "The Sound of the Waves Remains", maybe Liao Liao would not have too clear feelings, but he might vaguely feel that Zhou Ye's feeling of singing with his voice from beginning to end was a little wrong, but after experiencing the trials of "The Sound of the Waves", her understanding of music and singing has been raised several levels, and at this time, of course, she immediately heard that something was wrong.
"The Crooked Moon" is a folk song, not that folk songs can't have passion, the brilliance at the high tide in section B, of course, needs passion, but you are so passionate from beginning to end, please, you don't call singing, that shouting!
Whether it is from the current market position or in terms of actually admirable singing skills, Liao Liao is an absolute eldest sister in front of Zhou Ye, and the key thing is that her statement is indeed convincing, and even made Zhou Ye suddenly feel a little suddenly enlightened, and then, well, Liao Liao's first order after being promoted to the deputy director of music of Li Qian's studio, was successfully KO!
β¦β¦β¦β¦
When he came to his studio again, Li Qian subconsciously felt a little weak.
The staff outside saw the boss coming, and greeted each other, Li Qian smiled and nodded all the way over, and when he got to the corridor, he looked up and saw the office of the "deputy director of music" opposite his office, and he immediately understood where his heart came from - yes, why did he endure it that day. I couldn't hold back two days ago?
Of course, Zhou Yan is very beautiful. But Liao Liao is just as beautiful!
Of course, I like Zhou Yan very much. I like her purity, I like her natural carving, but I also like Liao Liao's atmosphere is not pretentious!
Why? Why?
After arriving at his office and sitting for a while, he still got up and prepared to go over to see if Liao Liao was there, at least to hang out.
Then, walking to the office door, he knocked on the door. Hearing someone in the room say "Please come in", he pushed the door in, but the door had just opened, and when he saw it clearly, Li Qian was immediately stunned.
"Sister, this way, oops, I'm dying, no, no blood......"
"You're stupid. Didn't they all tell you to go around to the back of it, you can hang up such a simple blame. Why don't you hang the southeast branch yourself!"
"Sister, you learn from Li Qian again. β
"I love to learn, how can I drop?"
A computer, installed on the desk, is being used by Liao Liao.
There is also a notebook, which is placed on the coffee table, which is used by Huang Wenjuan.
Li Qian opened the door and entered, and then, he stood at the door, stunned.
After a long while, Huang Wenjuan was the first to react, looked up, she was stunned, and then quickly stood up and pointed at Liao Liao with her hand, "Brother, don't blame me, it's my sister who pulls me, you have to let me play with her!"
The corners of Li Qian's mouth twitched, and his face was full of black lines.
Hearing this, Liao Liao raised her head, and when she saw Li Qian, she let out an "ah" in surprise, a little hurried, "You wait a minute, I'll kill this monster immediately, I have something to do with you!"
Li Qian twitched the corners of his mouth again, waved his hand at Huang Wenjuan, and said, "It's okay, you continue to play, and we'll talk about it when you finish this fight." β
Huang Wenjuan agreed, looked at Li Qian, and then looked at Liao Liao, and wanted to sit down, but hesitated, and still said: "That, brother, sit down, I'll pour you a glass of water." And then it flashed out.
Following her back, Li Qian opened his mouth, he really wanted to say that I am younger than you, but in the end he held back.
Li Qian silently walked to the sofa and sat down, and watched Liao Liao play games there with high mental tension. After a minute, Huang Wenjuan brought a glass of water, and then quietly slipped away again.
But at this time, Liao Liao's game seemed to be interrupted, and then she ran over excitedly and pulled Li Qian up, "You come, come, come, come and have a look! Now, I solemnly introduce to you, it is definitely the most fun game in history...... Uh, what's it called? Oh, yes, Legendary!"
While talking, she pulled Li Qian, pressed him to her seat, took his hand, put it on the mouse, and said excitedly: "I'll teach you, Bao Jiao Baohui!" I tell you, it's so fun, if I don't take you to play with me, I have a bad conscience!"
As she spoke, she leaned sideways on Li Qian's shoulder and began to choose a map.
Looking at the rough picture that was once extremely familiar, Li Qian suddenly had a strange feeling in his heart.
Is the age of computer games, or rather, the age of computers, coming?
It's really coming!
Liao Liao carefully chose the map repeatedly, and finally said: "I'll create a new number for you, I'm so many levels, you take my number to mix with the novice village, how faceless I am! I'll register an account for you and take you to upgrade, okay?"
Li Qian grabbed her arm and made her unable to move, and then raised his face to look at her, "When did you start playing this again?"
Liao Liao was a little surprised and a little puzzled, but he still replied seriously: "Recently! I'm not idle and bored, my friend told me that there is this game, it's very fun, hey, by the way, my two recent discoveries, first, it's this game, second, do you know, there's a software called QQ, we all call it penguin, just like the foreigner's MSN A software, chat or something, especially fun, and group chat, it's a big group of people in a page nonsense, let me tell you, into the group to talk, chat, than everyone face-to-face sitting and talking, more interesting!"
Speaking of this, Liao Liao stretched out his hand to pull Li Qian, "You get up, I'll withdraw the game first." β
Li Qian stood up, she sat down, happily withdrew from the game, clicked on the desktop and there was another very familiar icon, and then, Liao Liao logged in to the account, and after a while, Li Qian caught a glimpse of the icon flashing in the lower right corner of her desktop.
Liao Liao pointed there with a special sigh, "Did you see it?
As she spoke, she clicked there, and several dialog boxes popped up.
Li Qian's eyes were sharp, and he caught a glimpse of an account named [Zhou Ye] in that group who said a lot of things: Sister Liao is not here, you can be a producer for my album, I think you are better than my producer!
Liao Liao pointed to the dialog box, laughed, and said proudly: "Look, this is the QQ group, this is Zhou Ye, uh, there are only a few of us in the group at present, they are all too stupid, some don't have computers, some say they are not interested, anyway, just a few of us like it, we all added the group, this group cost Zhou Ye 80 yuan to apply!
Unconsciously, the corners of Li Qian's mouth twitched again.
Such a retro QQ picture is a bit of a surprise.,But it's nothing.,There's actually my big penguin in this time and space.,And as early as this time in 96, QQ has been launched.,It's nothing.γ
In fact, even if there is no QQ, it is estimated that there will be some BB, PP and other software, in short, with the development of computer technology, instant messaging software like this, will definitely appear in China.
But the problem is that he is a person who has used QQ for more than ten years, WeChat for several years, and was also very obsessed with the legendary game back then, but Liao Liao is so proud to pull himself and show off all this to himself...... No matter how he thought about it, he felt a sense of dissonance in time and space.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Liao Liao looked at him, and saw that he was staring at the computer desktop and didn't move for a long time, so he raised his hand and shook it in front of him, with a proud look, and said ostentatiously: "How is it? Fresh, right? Fun, right? Tell you, you are outdated!"
After a pause, she looked like she was fascinated by the seduction of death, threw her winks, and said, "Do you want to learn?"
Li Qian looked at her: "Do you still need to learn?"
Liao Liao was stunned for a moment, opened his mouth, and looked disdainful, "Ah, yes, okay, you! Have you used a computer before? Typing, will you? Look at your office, you don't even have a computer, you can see it! People now have general managers, chairmen, or whatever, don't care whether they can or not, who doesn't have a computer on the desk to serve as a faΓ§ade! It's up to you...... Hey, didn't you say you don't need to learn? Okay, then you can play a game for me now and I'll see? Uh, by the way, you definitely don't have a QQ number, do you know where to apply? I'll see if you apply for one?"
Li Qian looked at her blankly, no matter what, she couldn't imagine that she could play legends and QQ, why did she be so smug, and even gave Li Qian the feeling that it seemed to make her more proud than her own singing.
So, he pushed Liao Liao and motioned for Liao Liao to dodge.
Liao Liao was a little surprised, dodged his seat, watched him sit down, skillfully moved the mouse, clicked on the QQ icon on the desktop, and suddenly became more and more surprised. However, then, Liao Liao saw with his own eyes that he chose to "apply for a new account", and then, such a simple matter, in less than a minute, Li Qian's new account came down.
Then, Li Qian looked up at her blankly.
Liao Liao stared at him, speechless for a while.
But that's not all, Li Qian clicked on his QQ avatar, and chose to "modify nickname", and then hesitated, he skillfully switched the input method again, and typed the word "Li Qian".
At this time, when he looked back at Liao Liao again, Liao Liao's eyes were blank at first, and then, she quickly vented "ah", and stretched out her hand to jam Li Qian's neck, "The old lady wants to strangle you!" (to be continued......)
