Chapter 193: A Super Cool Feeling That Is Hard to Find!

Bullock is gone, but the music in the café in the small town of Seysk continues.

And at the same time, across the United States, in North America, in Europe, there are a lot of similar things going on.

Life is always full of difficulties and obstacles, and in the face of those difficulties in life, some people will move forward bravely, and others will inevitably be confused, but in fact, all they need is a little encouragement to hold their heads high and stride forward.

Books, music, movies, and even the unintentional words of passers-by can be encouraging in many cases.

As a newcomer in the European and American music markets, under Li Qian's careful arrangement, Liao Liao's first global album is full of positive energy that can inspire people.

Therefore, those who were originally indifferent to the addition of a new person in the music market and a few more good pop songs in this world, suddenly heard a certain song at a special moment, his heart will ripple, his heart will be impacted, and his whole person will be inspired.

Then, when Bullock hurriedly walked into the video store, said the awkward name, bought a copy of "My-heart-will-go-on", and went to the gift shop to have someone carefully wrap it, and then held flowers in his hand, ready to confess to his ex-wife, there were countless people in many parts of the world doing similar things.

The difference is that some people decide to officially confess to the girl they have had a crush on for a long time, some people muster up the courage to quit their current jobs to find a better version of themselves, and others decide to get back on their feet and pick up the pride of their lives again.

They like "You're-still-the-One", "Through-the-rain", or "No-one", or a few others, but there is no doubt that uplifting, inspirational songs can always gain a wider range of people's hearts.

And what is especially rare is that whether it is the faint warmth of "Forgotten Time", the lingering and sympathetic expression of Chinese classical love in "Hairpin Phoenix", or the rich and novel Peking Opera flavor in "Rap Face", or the singer's love for home that can be clearly perceived without understanding the lyrics at all in "Paradise". Although the attachment to nature cannot win the ears of all European and American listeners, at least, as the first Chinese work that most people have heard in their lifetime, they are at least not disgusting except for the first feeling of novelty.

For Chinese songs, this is already a success to some extent.

What's more, there are many European and American fans who even fell in love with this taste from the Far East at the first time.

The oriental folk songs of "Forgotten Time", the oriental opera style of "Rap Face" and "Hairpin Phoenix", and the pure listening enjoyment of "Paradise...... They are inherently beautiful, and even if there is a cultural barrier, it cannot change the fact that they are inherently beautiful, and what good music like this lacks is only the initial motivation for European and American listeners to be willing to calm down and listen.

And the popularity of "Titanic" and the mysterious attraction of the "Titanic girl" from the East just gave them a reason.

How the reputation of the album "My-heart-will-go-on" gradually spread, it is impossible to know, and it is difficult to investigate, but a few days after its release, when the album gradually began to turn from a newcomer's hit album to unprecedented popularity, it can be easily seen from the sales data and the shipment data of the record company.

Another point is the bulletin board, which symbolizes authority.

In just three days after its first week, "My-heart-will-go-on" reached No. 6 on the Billboard albums chart!

And just this week, in addition to "My-heart-will-go-on", which is also the title song of this album and the title song of the soundtrack of the movie "Titanic", still dominates the first single on Billboard by relying on strong word-of-mouth and equally strong inertia, there are three songs on this album that successfully entered the top 10 -

"You're-still-the-One", third place.

"Could-I-Have-This-Kiss-Forever", 6th place.

"I-will-always-love-you", 7th place.

It can be said that in less than a week, the name LIAO-LIAO once again shocked the entire English-speaking music circle, and Billboard officials even did not hesitate to use as many as seven adjectives in a row to praise the album - saying that it was "amazing", "a multi-genre mixture that has reached great heights without exception", "fragrant with roses", "full of celebration of life", "beautiful but strong", "mesmerizing" and "full of wonderful feelings".

As for the music column in the New York Times, it's even more exaggerated than that - this Oriental girl has brought us an album that is like a miracle!

For example, the Los Angeles Evening News has a review article praising the gorgeous singing and elegant classical love of oriental opera that LIAO shows us in this album, as if leading me on a fascinating journey to the East." ”

At the same time, because it was listed globally, there was almost no suspense, and it took only three days for this album to reach the first place on the sales list of Dongguan Bookstore!

And this week, Zhao Yuan's first album, which was supposed to be in the second week of the market, was the most promising time to hit the first place on the weekly chart, but unfortunately, in the face of Liao Liao, who was in full swing, he was pressed down almost without resistance.

This same week is the fourth week of Zhao Xinfu's new album, last week, he was still firmly in first place, and he threw off the second place Zhao Yuan with more than 6,000 copies, but this week, there is no doubt that he was also killed directly by Liao Liao!

Of course, what is pleasing is that Zhao Yuan also followed behind Liao Liao and surpassed him!

In fact, there are more than 11,000 tickets in a single week, which is a result that he usually has the strength to compete for the top ranking, but in this week, he can only settle for second place, because "My Heart is Eternal" directly brushed down an amazing result of 73,825 in a single week!

After "Once You", this album became the second best-selling album in the history of Dongguan Bookstore in the first week!

Moreover, what is even more excessive than the rave reviews in the European and American music circles is that although this album only includes four Chinese songs, it has made various domestic media, large and small, dispatch the strongest lineup to analyze them one by one, and finally conclude that although there are only four songs, these four works are absolutely sincere, and to a large extent, it can be said that they represent the highest level of China's contemporary music scene, and are rich in the accumulation of Chinese culture!

In a word: to promote these four works as masterpieces of Chinese music, they are not only competent, but even can make domestic music peers feel honored and honored!

Of course, in the face of as many as six English songs in this album, the domestic media temporarily chose to turn a blind eye, and it was not until the professional comments in Europe and the United States came out that the domestic media reacted as quickly as possible - a large excerpt!

What they mean is probably to tell domestic fans and listeners: Look, this is an English song, let's say it's good or bad, it doesn't count, the most important thing is, see it, the crooked nuts are said to be great, very good, great!

Even if there is no such unscrupulous touting by the domestic media, for the majority of Liao Liao fans, this is already a rare carnival, you know, it was expected that Liao Liao was going to rest this year, but now they still heard the album, which is of course an unexpected joy, and now the media is also touting their idols so hard, those hardcore fans are naturally extremely excited.

However, after getting the first week's data from Dongguan Bookstore, Qi Jie and others were of course overjoyed, but after Li Qian read it, he didn't have much reaction, and when Qi Jie asked, his answer was: "It's a bit inflated! Just four Chinese songs, and they are all works that don't have much pop in themselves, which is why Liao Liao can sell like this, but when the false fire subsides, it is estimated that it will fall down next week." ”

Qi Jie was a little unconvinced.

However, in the second week of the album's release, it only sold 53,638 copies at Dongguan Bookstore!

Compared with the first week that only sold for three days, this data is not only the first time since Liao Liao's first album "Liao Liao" that the second week is not as good as the first week, but it can even be regarded as a plummet!

Even, not only within Minghu Culture, not only Qi Jie, but even the domestic media and domestic musicians were surprised after seeing such an achievement, so that the major newspapers subconsciously avoided the topic of sales in those two days, and only a few serious newspapers gave a considerable amount of sales analysis after reporting on the plummeting sales of this album in the second week - roughly similar to Li Qian's analysis.

However, the domestic media's silence on the album's sales lasted only a few days before it was completely reversed.

This is not only because of the good news on Billboard again, "I-will-always-love-you" surprisingly squeezed out "My-will-will-go-on" to become the number one single on Billboard, but not only because all six of the album's English songs from "My Heart Eternal" made it to the top 20 on Billboard this week, but not even because the album made a historic top three on the Billboard albums chart the following week!

The most important thing is that on Thursday, July 1, Rolling Stone Records issued a sales bulletin, officially announcing that as of June 30, the shipment of the album "My-heart-will-go-on" in the rest of the world except for China and the four Southeast Asian countries has officially exceeded 11 million copies!

In contrast, the movie "Titanic" is a breakthrough, it has been listed in the United States for a month and a half, and has been successfully converted to a long-term screening, and now that the film has been released in major box office markets around the world for a long period of one month, as short as two weeks and three weeks, and the global box office has reached more than 1.3 billion US dollars, he has shocked global moviegoers and practitioners in the global film industry.

You know, this is the world's first movie to gross more than $1 billion!

Even Chinese have a wonderful feeling of "witnessing history and witnessing miracles"!

However, although there is also a certain degree of "Chinese color" in this movie, and the soundtrack and theme song singers are all Chinese, for Chinese people, the "sense of participation" in this movie is still limited.

And Liao Liao's album is completely different.

Although six of the ten songs are English songs, to be honest, even many hardcore Liao Liao fans, if they did not have a certain degree of acceptance of English songs before, then, they may not be able to accept and like these six songs at the first time, but even so, Li Qian and Liao Liao are both so popular, and the media is so hot, so everyone knows that this album is actually absolutely pure Chinese blood - songs written by Chinese and sung by Chinese!

And such a pure bloodline "Made in China", in the global market, where Chinese, or Chinese culture has always been weak, has won an astonishing result of 15 million copies worldwide in less than two weeks on the market, especially more than 11 million of them, which are provided by markets such as Europe and the United States!

Of course, this is a super cool feeling that is hard to find!

Therefore, don't even think about it, from the domestic media, to the Internet, from ordinary fans, to countless professional musicians, after learning the sales data of the album "My Heart is Eternal", there is a collective high again!

And even the original competitors, when Liao Liao has gone global and brushed such a historic and amazing sales volume for Chinese in the global market, the original jealousy in many people's hearts has also dissipated a lot invisibly.

The reason is very simple: people have already come to that point, it is unattainable, and no matter how jealous it is, it doesn't make much sense!

At this time, for Sony Records, especially for Watanabe Kazuichi and Fujiwara Mie, perhaps the mood should be the most complicated among the musicians who are active in China at the moment.

Because, when they were still thinking about making a Chinese album for Fujiwara Mie, and hoping to use Japanese pop culture to squeeze out the market of the Chinese music scene with a flattering mentality, there was such a Chinese singer, but with an English album containing four Chinese songs, he had already won the second place in the weekly chart of Japanese domestic music album sales!
