"Dear listeners and friends, good evening, this is the music point of the music channel of the Voice of China Radio Station, I am your old friend Xia Ming, then, I have previously previewed it with you in advance, at that time, it was said that Zhou Yan would come to our program tonight as a guest, to talk to you about her new album, but, unfortunately, I have been saying and apologizing to you for the first two days...... Sister-in-law may have had other arrangements recently, so, I'm sorry everyone, tonight, she won't be here, but we still invited two big-name musicians to our broadcast studio to talk about her new album......"

"One of them, who is also our old friend, is Professor Zhou Zhibin of Suncheon Conservatory of Music, Professor Zhou, welcome...... Thank you and hello everyone...... The other is a well-known music producer in the domestic music scene who we specially invited, and is also the current deputy music director of Minghu Culture, Mr. He Wei! Here I would like to make a special note, Mr. He Wei is the music director of the currently popular "Super Girl", this time in order to participate in our program, he specially flew from Changsha Mansion, we welcome Mr. He Wei He ......"

“…… Yes, two months ago, I criticized Li Qian, until now, I still adhere to my point of view, "William Castle" and "Indian Old Turtledove" The two songs, I still think that they are very immature, and they are not even a musical work, but I just don't recognize Li Qian's exploration in rap, I don't recognize those two songs, I personally have nothing to say about this "Red Bean", it's very powerful, so powerful that I believe no one can pick out anything bad. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info And I'm sure the market will give him a good response, and I think this album is going to be a big hit!"

"Okay, thank you, Professor Zhou, then, Mr. He, you are a senior musician, and at the same time the deputy director of music of Minghu Culture, you should have participated in the recording of the album "Red Bean", right? What do you think of this album? What do you think of its market prospects...... As Professor Zhou said just now, what kind of judgment do you make, can you share it with our listeners in front of the radio?"

"Okay...... First of all, I want to emphasize that Professor Zhou is very disdainful of "William Castle" and "Indian Old Turtledove", we have known this for a long time, but I want to say two statistics, the first one, the album "The First Experience of Love", has been on the market for two months now, and as far as I know, the company's shipments have reached 9.3 million copies! That is to say, it has sold very well! It is not ordinarily good, it is very good!"

"But you can't ......"

"Listen to me, are you okay?"

"Okay, you say, you say!"

"Second, in recent months, I have either flown around the country, or I have been staying in Changsha Mansion, recording "Super Girl", we have very specific and detailed data, but a rough statistic is that in our audition, there are about 70,000 people in total, of course, most of them were quickly eliminated, but these more than 70,000 people sang more than 70,000 songs, including "William Castle" 43 times, "Indian Old Turtledove" 19 times! So in the preliminary round, there are about three or four hundred contestants in each region, and a total of 2,000 pieces of songs have been sung, "Fort William" should be sixty-one or sixty-three times, I don't remember accurately, "Indian Old Turtledove" is thirty-six times! The number of participants is smaller, but the number of contestants who sing these two songs has increased instead of decreasing......

"What does that mean? Does that mean that these two songs are popular? I don't think so!"

…………

"Uh, okay, okay, then...... Let's just debate, not argue, okay? Mr. He, you went on to say what you think of the album "Red Bean". ”

"Well, okay, I participated in about half of the recording of the album "Red Bean", because I am mainly responsible for Wang Nanhao, Zhuang Meiyue and Zhou Ye in the company, but for the first cooperation between our Mr. Li and Zhou Yan, I am also the same as everyone else, and I am also very curious, so I took the initiative to run over to help and participated in a few songs. How do you say that...... Li Qian's eyes, or ears, or his musical sense, are extremely keen, so keen that you can't imagine if you haven't worked with him or made music!"

In the live broadcast room, He Wei waved his arms and said to the host and Zhou Zhibin beside him: "He listens to a singer's voice and will soon be able to ...... How to say it, in my opinion, is to find the focus, he can always find out in a very short period of time, where is the biggest highlight of the singer's voice! Then you are even more so that it is Zhou Yan! Right? And he is very good at mobilizing and tuning. Teaching a singer's singing skills, before He Runqing, Liao Liao, needless to say, this time Zhou Yan went to record, and all the people involved, there was no one who did not admire! Zhou Yan sang very well, very powerful, but Li Qian was able to point out a way to sing for her, and help her pick out the details little by little, and then, when the details were finished, the result, everyone heard it...... In my opinion, the Zhou Yan of this album is a qualitative sublimation, reaching one, to put it mildly, it should be a level of singing that no one in our domestic singers has yet been able to reach, Liao Liao is a little bit meaningless!"

…………

"Uh...... Sales forecasts are this thing...... I'm not a professional at this, we have a distribution department in our company, so they're more professional...... Okay, okay, if you want to call me to predict, Zhou Yan's last "Tears of Witches" should have sold less than 10 million copies in Sony, and this album should be very promising in my opinion to break through the 10 million mark! At present, our domestic music scene is in full swing and in decline, except for the four major beauty bands, no male singer can break 10 million, of course, it is estimated that Li Qian's "The First Experience of Love" is definitely no problem! Then, there are several female singers, speaking of which, I am still very proud, Liao Liao, He Runqing, The power of roses is all under the banner of our Minghu culture......! Personally, I hope that Zhou Yan can be the next one!"

…………

"After I got this album, until now I wrote this manuscript, the author has listened to this album no less than 20 times, everyone, it is by no means bragging, it can only be more, not less! In my opinion, this is Li Qian's masterpiece after his first solo album "The First Experience of Love"! Zhou Yan's voice and singing voice are impeccable! Li Qian's lyrics, composition, and arrangement cannot be praised! The ten songs of the entire album, each song is so unique, so perfect, and impeccable! And the kind of charm of the whole album from beginning to end, perfect as a flawless piece of mutton fat jade, impeccable!"

- "Suncheon Daily Supplement"

"Ethereal, elegant, does not eat the fireworks of the world, but always cares about the imperfect love in the world...... After listening to the whole album, I was happy and extremely appreciative, but emotionally, it was an indescribable sense of loss. Li Qian and Zhou Yan, thank you, you didn't let me down! and even surprised me!"

- Artist Weekly

"This is definitely a collaboration that can be ranked in the top three in the history of Chinese music, and if there is such a ranking, it must also be an album that can be ranked in the top three in the history of Chinese music, I mean the perfect feeling after listening to the whole album...... Again, if there is such a ranking.

After listening to this album, one of my biggest feelings is that Li Qian really knows Zhou Yan very well. There is also that sentence, which has been used by countless and countless people in the past, what singers, musicians, music critics, etc., etc., everyone said that it was rotten, Li Qian's musical talent is really ...... No one compares to it!"

――"Yanjing Entertainment News"

"I always feel that Li Qian is the most hated one in the domestic entertainment industry, anyway, I hate him very much!

For example, recently, when I listened to the new album he produced for Zhou Yan, "Red Beans", my first thought was that I should shut him up in the studio every day, except for eating, drinking, and Lazar, you just write songs, keep writing, and then we can keep changing singers, you can record, keep making albums for us, making new songs for us, such albums, like "Red Beans", we don't have too many if you release ten albums a year!

And just a few months ago, when I went to watch "The Legend of the New White Lady" with a disgusting and dissatisfied mood, because he didn't do his job! I watched that TV series at that time, and I used to think that or, even if Li Qian doesn't write songs, he will become a director and make a TV series, and I still like him!"

-- A night talk show on Suncheon Satellite TV, guest quotes.

"It's true that Qian'er is my junior brother, but I don't know pop music, I can't evaluate this, I really can't evaluate it! Well, since that's all it takes, let's take this opportunity, brother and sister, and I wish you a big sale of your new album!"

- Fang Shaobai

Music, literature, and painting are difficult to have a unified standard for judging.

As a musician, Li Qian is already an exception. Since his debut, he has made a number of albums for Liao Liao, most of which are one-sided praise, or even praise, critics are not nothing, very few, basically do not affect the mainstream of the piece, make albums for others, the reputation is slightly worse, but the vast majority of them are still praised more and criticized less.

Among them, the worst reputation in the music critic world is the previous Five Elements Wusu, and the later Rose Power - that kind of popular style, beautiful girl way, of course, is natural and will not be liked by music critics. Even until 2000, when some musicians mentioned the song "Farewell", they expressed deep regret for Li Qian for giving such an exquisite good work to Wuxing Wusu to sing, you can see the depth of resentment.

And when "The First Experience of Love" was released this spring, it can be said that it was the first time that Li Qian was collectively besieged by music critics, although it cannot be said to be Li Qian's worst reputation, but the most controversial thing is that he didn't run.

But only two months later, when Zhou Yan's new album "Red Bean" was released, as an album with a clear banner labeled "Li Family Mom-and-Pop Shop", it was surprising that in the next week, in all radio stations, TV stations, newspapers, magazines, including Internet forums, etc., there were almost zero negative reviews!

You can hear it, you can't hear it, you can understand it, and you can't understand it, including musicians, singers, music critics, senior radio DJs, ordinary fans, senior fans...... Wait, wait, wait, when everyone expresses their opinions on this album in public, almost without exception, they praise it!

This is almost impossible in the pop music industry and in the entertainment industry!

Near a miracle!

Insiders can hear the kind of transformation and sublimation completed by Zhou Yan's voice and singing, and can hear how powerful the works created by Li Qian for this album are, and how good the arrangements he has made, and ordinary people can't hear this, but just a simple sense of hearing, and the most intuitive conclusion they have drawn in their hearts is that this album is good, very good, and every song is very good!

And...... It's very durable!

This album seems to have a kind of magic, the moment you start playing, it can easily bring you into a certain emotion, and unconsciously make you deeply fascinated!

So much so that when asked which song is your favorite, many people who have listened to the entire album from beginning to end countless times find themselves eager to say the names of the ten songs from the beginning to the end of the album one by one - and many people will be surprised to find that they have miraculously not rewound once when listening to this album!

You know, almost no one can do an album down every song so uniform, even if you can do it, but the tastes and hobbies of fans are varied, and you can't guarantee that each of your songs will be loved by every fan, so when a new album is in his hands, even the most hardcore fan, after listening to an album once or twice, he will subconsciously have a choice, he will continue to rewind, to listen to his favorite one repeatedly, or those songs!

And such works, in fact, are often selected by singers and producers when the album is produced, and after the album is released, it will be taken out as the title song and pushed hard, in order to drive the promotion of the whole album and increase sales - the title song before the market is a test for singers and producers, and the selection of the title song will have a great impact on sales!

However, the album "Red Bean" has actually managed to make many people listen to the song without rewinding!

…………

A week passed unconsciously in this kind of praise from all over the country.

The musicians are enjoying it, the critics are happy, and the fans are extremely happy, but during this week, the distribution department of Minghu Culture was very busy.

Minghu Culture has always had a tradition of stocking, because it doesn't have CDs, tapes, etc., so whenever a new album is produced, it always has to place a large number of orders in advance as a reserve before it goes on the market, in case it will suddenly run out of stock.

And Zhou Yan's "Red Beans", before the listing, through many random interviews on the street, the sampling information obtained, and after professional market analysis, finally, the first batch of printing quantities determined by the distribution department for this "Red Beans" is 10 million!

This is the highest level of stocking.

Previously, within Minghu Culture, only the four major beauty bands, Liao Liao and Rose Power enjoyed this level of stocking, He Runqing's first batch of stocks was seven million copies, and even Li Qian's own album was only the first batch of six million copies.

And others, including Zhuang Meiyue, Ge Rilen, Zhao Yuan and others, as well as Zhou Ye and Wang Nanhao, who released albums immediately, their first batch of stocks is generally between four million and five million copies.

The so-called first batch of stocking is generally expected to be the sales volume of the first three months, and when it is two months on the market, it will decide the amount of the second batch of stocking according to the feedback of the shipments in the previous two months and the actual sales volume of the market.

And now, Zhou Yan's first album after arriving at Minghu Culture, the distribution department directly gave the highest level of stocking - if musicians and music critics are music experts, then the distribution department of Minghu Culture must be experts in "whether the album will sell well".

Whether the album is doing well or not, and whether it will sell well, is not the same thing!

Originally, according to the estimation of the distribution department, 10 million copies in the first three months should be enough, and boxes of CDs and tapes were produced, first stockpiled in warehouses, and three to five days before the release date of the album, depending on the transportation distance, began to be shipped to distributors and distributors around the world. And according to the orders from all over the country, the total amount of the first batch sent out is as high as more than 4.3 million!

According to the usual practice, the distribution department of Minghu Culture will immediately start the second round of transfer and transportation three days after the album is released, according to the feedback from distributors around the world, and the second batch of shipments for Zhou Yan's album will be between 300 and 3.5 million copies - according to estimates, with more than 7 million and nearly 8 million copies together, it should be no problem to survive the first two months.

When producing, there can not be too many orders, although it is not expensive to simply say that the production cost of the industrial assembly line is not expensive, but even if Li Qian and Zhou Yan, the distribution department will still be afraid that too much production will not be able to sell, even if there are only hundreds of thousands of copies left in the end, it is money, and the records that cannot be sold can only be destroyed!

The destruction of the album is the same as burning money!

As for saying that you can sell it slowly, of course you can, but the problem is that once the hot selling period has passed, the consumption rate of the slow sale is very slow, and often the previous inventory alone is enough for the major publishers to digest for a while - if you put it for a year and a half, people find that the sale is too slow, it is really not worth occupying the shelf, and you want to return it, you receive it, or you can only destroy it!

In the same way, the delivery cannot be too much at one time, after all, the storage capacity of the warehouse on the publisher's side is also limited, and there are too many shipments at one time.

Therefore, according to common sense, the advance preparation work made by the distribution department for the album "Red Bean" is almost impeccable perfect - the boss lady!

Then, "Red Bean" was released.

At first, no one noticed anything out of the ordinary, after all, the first batch of goods sent to distributors and distributors around the world was already large enough. But then, without waiting for the third day, on the second day, the distribution department began to suddenly receive feedback from dealers from all over the country -- the sales were very fast! The goods on hand were estimated to not last the first week! Hurry up and replenish the stock!

The distribution department was stunned all of a sudden!
