Chapter 54: On the list

On May 4, 2000, the Voice of China Radio Station released the weekly golden song on-demand list. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

"The First Experience of Love" landed at the top of the list!

The list was released, and there were a lot of surprises in the record industry, but for fans, this is a very suitable ranking, but in this way, I am a little wronged by a masterpiece like "Jiangnan"!

Yes, "Gangnam" came in second.

In some subsequent media, many music producers admitted that the popularity of these two songs surprised many people in the record industry. Because in the traditional cognitive concept, the first place should be a delicate and exquisite pop love song such as "Kiss Goodbye" or "The First Time".

And now, although the three songs "Kiss Goodbye", "The First Time" and "You at the Same Table" are also collectively on the list, they are only ranked fourth, seventh and eighth respectively.

At the same time, "Dark Fragrance", which was almost praised by musicians and music critics, was not on the list, and works such as "Childhood" and "Lights on the Stars", which were also greatly appreciated by the majority of musicians, also failed to make the list.

This is clearly not a normal situation.

Under normal circumstances, purely in terms of quality, even if there is no Li Qian's halo bonus, these songs also have strong strength, and may be affected by the poor publicity before the release of the previous album, but even if you only look at the sales of this album in the first week, this is also a rather surprising result.

On the contrary, "Cloudy Sky", which has been on the market for two months, is still ranked third on the charts as an exceptionally good urban love song - from this point of view, with the title song of this song, He Runqing's "Cloudy Day" album has beaten Zhao Xinfu's "Love Does Not Stop".

Of course, as many professionals expected, "Fort William" and "Indian Old Turtledove" didn't make the list – which made many people nod and smile. This at least proves their reasoning, which makes a lot of sense in these two songs, as well as in the rap genre.

On May 5, after the recommendation of publisher Chen Youcheng, Huang Wenjuan, assistant to the general manager of Minghu Culture, came forward on behalf of Minghu Culture and officially signed the film and television adaptation rights of a novel.

This book, called "Peacock", tells the story of a pair of sisters and brothers deep in the mountains, and it has been published for seven or eight years, and it has sold very poorly, it is said that only 20,000 copies were first printed, but there are still thousands of copies piled up in the warehouse of the publishing house under Chen Youcheng's name. Even, even Chen Youcheng didn't know where Li Qian knew about this book, let alone why he bought the adaptation rights of such a street book.

On Saturday, May 6, the first episode of "Super Girl" was launched.

An excerpt from the audition was broadcast. To tell the truth, the level is uneven, and as an anthology, the producer obviously has no intention of beautifying these contestants, good or bad, although it must have been deliberately selected, but it shows the real situation of the audition to a great extent.

You must know that this has never appeared in many talent shows that have been broadcast in the past few years, but it has never appeared - most of the talent shows are often under the sign of the draft, in fact, the contestants who participated have been deliberately selected and even trained, and the producer intends to show it to the audience, just a blockbuster at the moment of appearing on the stage, as for the background, origin or something, just make it up.

However, just a few short years later, many viewers are tired of that kind of elaborate draft.

Therefore, surprisingly, in such a rough audition that is not worth it, there are even several contestants who signed up for the competition who went out of tune as soon as they opened their mouths, and the tutor Cao Zhan frowned directly, but they got quite good ratings, and after the show was broadcast, the reputation was actually good!

Of course, the next day, there was already a newspaper directly criticizing it: a good singing audition competition, which was rehearsed into a sketch by HUNAN Satellite TV!

But ratings are hard indicators! So, even before, Hunan Satellite TV was really trying to select clips and clips according to Li Qian's requirements, but after seeing the ratings and word-of-mouth feedback, the confidence of the entire production team was suddenly firm.

On May 8th, the sales list of Dongguan Bookstore was released on time, and "The First Experience of Love" continued to top the list without suspense, and after coming to the second week, its sales volume really climbed sharply, and in the second week of listing, the sales volume in Dongguan Bookstore was as high as 67,137 copies in a single week!

This result, compared with "Once You", is still not high, but considering that "Once You" has the powerful publicity bonus of the Spring Festival Gala for ten minutes, and "The First Experience of Love" has mixed reputations and great controversy in terms of word-of-mouth, compared with "Once You", there is a lot of gap, so this result is already a very normal result in everyone's opinion.

Or should it be said that when "Once You" was released, there were all kinds of favorable times and places, so that as soon as that album was released, it directly got extremely unnatural results, purely in terms of influence and social popularity, which no album can compare with before and since.

Even if that person is still Li Qian, it can't work.

On May 9, Minghu Culture held a small press conference, announcing that the film "On the Road" filmed by the company has been officially finalized and will be officially released nationwide on July 7 after the college entrance examination.

Of course, "On the Road" has little investment, the director is not famous, the actors are not famous, the story is even more lackluster, and he went to the Yangcheng Film Festival empty-handed.

Moreover, July is the summer vacation, which is the most fierce time in the film market, and the theme of "On the Road" is there, so that he must try his best to be released during the summer vacation when the students are just on vacation, in order to try his best to win a part of the student box office, but when the time comes, it is crowded among a bunch of box office celebrities, and it is impossible to get any decent number of theaters, and it is impossible to get priority films, and it is inevitable to hit the street.

Therefore, the reporters routinely rushed over, listened to a brief introduction by the strong domineering female president of Minghu Culture, and then asked director Jin Han a few painless questions in a stylized manner, and then received a red envelope to flash people.

Kim Han was depressed.

But no one could exonerate him.

On May 11, the Voice of China Radio's golden song on-demand list was released again.

"The First Experience of Love" and "Gangnam" continued to work together to occupy the top two places.

But what is surprising on the list this time is that "William Castle", a grotesque Chinese rap song, not only suddenly made the list, but also reached the fifth place on the list in one fell swoop!

Even "Indian Old Turtledove" actually entered the top ten, ranking ninth!

Many music critics who have even written their scripts have suddenly had a strange feeling in the face of this list: it seems that as a gold medal chef for many years, at this moment, he suddenly lost his sense of taste!
