Chapter 139: Soft Persimmons

First of all, apologize: At the end of the previous chapter, there was a clerical error in the release date of He Runqing's new album "Bitter Bamboo", which should be Tuesday, June 21, not Saturday, apologize. Thanks to the book friend "Jun's Love" for his unhesitant correction.

***

June 6, afternoon.

High heels da-da.

He Runqing walked slowly into Sony Records, and everyone greeted her all the way, such as "Sister Runqing is good", "Sister Qing is good", "Miss He is good", and the voices began to sound continuously from the door of the company, until she walked into the company's singer rest area.

Even, after she walked by, a male staff member deliberately shouted, "Sister Runqing, we support you and defeat the Five Elements!"

No way, He Runqing usually treats people kindly, and has never put on a big star stand, and his popularity and reputation in the company have always been the best one.

Turning back with a little surprise, she nodded solemnly at the red-faced male clerk, thanked him, and continued on her way - but as soon as she left everyone's sight, her face returned to that preoccupied look.

Well, just this morning, Hua Records announced that Wu Xingwusu's new album "Let Me Fly" will be released nationwide the next week after her new album "Bitter Bamboo" is released.

Fools know that this is for her.

…………

Any circle has its own rules of the game.

For example, in the domestic pop music scene, everyone knows that May to October is the golden half year for selling records, especially during the summer vacation, but after all, the summer vacation is only two months, so everyone can't get together, right?

As a result, from the beginning of the domestic music scene, after 20 years of exploration, collision, competition, and even war by major record companies and singers, the domestic pop music scene has gradually formed a set of very tacit new album release rules.

For example, on the male singer side, Hu Yang usually chooses to release a new album in early May every year. Then Zhao Xinfu will choose to be from the end of June to the beginning of July, and Liu Mingming's new album will generally be from the end of August to the beginning of September, so that it will be. The three big names in the male singer circle can each set aside an exclusive time of up to one or two months, and if they do not affect each other, they will divide the golden period of summer and the golden half of the year when record sales are the most prosperous. And Zhang Chang has always been low-key. Either in October, or in the beginning of spring, in short, everyone has a tacit understanding and does not go to war.

As for the female singer, every April is Feng Feifei's fixed release time, although it is not the golden time, but her fans are relatively fixed and cannot become a big hit. But when it is sold, it can continue until the end of the summer, and as soon as the battle line of time is lengthened, it leads to her Although her sales are not bright in a single week or month, the overall sales are not low.

And after her, from June to July, it has always been He Runqing's traditional hair time. When Zhou Yan was more prosperous, she usually chose the end of August and the beginning of September.

Take a single record company Sony Records as an example, in April, their big name Feng Feifei released an album. It was sold for two months, and it happened that He Runqing took over and released a new album in June and July, and then, in the second half of the summer vacation. It happened that Liu Mingliang picked it up. The three singers with the largest coffee positions and the highest sales volume in the company just perfectly carved up the golden half of the year. Among them, according to the popularity of the market, Sony Records will also release second-tier and third-tier or newcomer albums almost every month in a timely manner to harvest the market, and at the same time compete for market share with singers of the same level from other companies.

In short, tacit understanding is good. The unspoken rules are not bad, but once they are formed, everyone thinks, well, that's good.

None of you want to suppress anyone, anyway, selling records, everyone is looking for high sales, once there is a war between two big coffees, there may be a chance to form an alternative hot market, maybe with the momentum of popularity, resulting in both sides selling well in the end, but that must be the two people's two albums are very hard and very popular with the market. If one side is worse, the result may be completely suppressed, and if both sides are not good, it will only increase the joke.

And to tell the truth, even the most confident singers and musicians are, before the album is released, they don't dare to guarantee that their albums will sell well, otherwise there will be no money-losing albums in this world!

After all, once a war breaks out, the stakes are so great that neither the singer nor the record company can afford it - everyone wants to win, but what if they lose?

It is also according to this potential market rule that Liao Liao's first album was to be listed, and Changsheng Records chose to vacate August after Zhou Yan's announcement of her retirement from the music scene - although in August, Zhao Xinfu is still majestic, and Liu Mingliang will soon release a new album, but after all, the gender of male and female singers is different, and the competition for fans is not too serious.

Although it was considered that Zhou Yan would not appear in the ** month, He Runqing deliberately postponed the release of the album by nearly a month, intending to monopolize the entire summer vacation, but her dominance could not reach that level at all, and Liu Mingliang also saw that Zhou Yan was not there, so she released the album in advance, but even in the middle of their two big singers, a man and a woman, Liao Liao still rose rapidly with the excellent quality of his album.

In fact, the rise of Liao Liao has formed a direct competition with He Runqing in the same period to a certain extent, resulting in He Runqing's stealing of chickens and rice, not to mention the fiasco, to a certain extent, and also led to a significant decline in her influence on the market. "Stars" has been on the market for nearly a year, and the sales volume has not reached two million, which is the most powerful explanation of her fiasco at the beginning.

Although with the single "Half a Pot of Yarn", He Runqing quickly stopped his decline, although when he first participated in the New Year's Day song party, the two women who were inseparable in the market also held hands intimately and looked like good sisters, but it is really hard to say whether He Runqing has a pimple in his heart.

And the most important thing is that after that setback, firstly, she is already a little weak-hearted, and secondly, she also understands that with her market influence, it is impossible to dominate the summer market, even if it is just a summer market for female singers.

So now, in 1996, for the domestic pop music scene, there is one more big name who is qualified to carve up the whole time, and that is Liao Liao. For all the big names in the music world, everyone's release time has to go through some slow learning with each other before they can gradually find a tacit understanding.

But in fact, just Liao Liao's words are not very important.

Now, Zhen Zhen's album is still dragging on, grinding and grinding as always, although the external statement is that the album has been in intense production, but according to Zhen Zhen's temper, it is estimated that it will be difficult to see the listing this year, and Zhou Yan's comeback is far away, and there is no accurate news so far, so even if there is one more Liao Liao, this market is still enough.

Feng Feifei's April, no one grabbed it, so He Runqing held the beginning of the summer vacation, Liao Liao took the end of the summer vacation, and the three female coffees happened to carve up the market perfectly again.

In fact, whether it is Changsheng Records or Sony Records, they are all planned to do so.

However, no one expected that the combination of the five elements and the elements, which had just become popular at the beginning of this year, would be so eager to grab the market.

Their group suddenly became popular before the Spring Festival, although it is indeed popular enough, but the whole circle generally expects that their next album should still be released in a time period they are more familiar with, at least one more album must be consolidated, and then they can have enough strength and confidence to carve up the summer market.

So in the previous predictions, everyone was thinking about it, Feng Feifei and Hu Yang took the lead, then Zhao Xinfu, then He Runqing, and then Liao Liao and Liu Mingming, the six of them, just staggered with each other, can form a situation where one person occupies a month, I dare not say that there is no interference at all, but at least each other has set aside a buffer period, which is also an acceptable plan for everyone.

However, everyone didn't expect that Hua Ge's confidence in the five elements was so strong, and their idea of competing for the golden time of summer was so strong.

However, after the collision with Liao Liao last year and the defeat, although He Runqing stopped the decline with "Half a Pot of Yarn", its downward trend is still so obvious in the eyes of major record companies.

Obviously, compared to Feng Feifei's April, which was not very necessary, and Liao Liao's August, which will continue to be strong to a large extent, and it is difficult to say who will win and who will lose, Hua Ge believes that He Runqing is the best soft persimmon among the female singers who have enough coffee positions in the current market.

So, they shot.

The time for each other to release albums is only seven days apart, and everyone is a female singer series, obviously, this is the most direct market competition.

And if you take into account He Runqing's declining trend, and Wuxing Wusu's last album has only been on the market for less than half a year, it is already about to break the super momentum of five million sales, there is no doubt that this is no longer simply a problem for Wuxing Wusu to step on He Runqing, this is Huaxing Songs wants to take advantage of Wuxing Wusu's strong market position to challenge Sony Records again!

As a result, He Runqing's album has just been released, and before it can explode sales, Wuxingwusu's album will be on the market. Of course, there are still a lot of fans who like He Runqing, and they will still buy what they should buy, but what about fans who like both He Runqing and Wuxing? If they are not short of money, it is better to say, but what if the money in their hands is only enough to buy an album? If they buy Wuxing Wusu, they can't buy He Runqing's!

Maybe it's been the past month, I've fought too hard, and I've been tired lately, and my state has not been able to adjust back to the best. But don't worry, there's definitely going to be a second chapter today!

I'm trying to adjust!(To be continued.) )
