After the beginning of 1997, almost all practitioners in the pop music industry found that the atmosphere of the entire music industry seemed to be changing little by little.

This kind of change does not simply mean that a certain singer has become more popular, a certain singer has risen, a certain singer has declined, or the total amount of the market has always been expanding, expanding, expanding...... and so on, but to say, the general climate of the entire music industry, the trend of the entire music industry, and even the fierce competition in the entire music industry, all of which make people more and more clearly perceive that the music industry seems to be entering a new era in 1997.

In such a lively 1997, Wuxing Wusu was the first to stand up.

Originally, after the group Wuxing Wusu experienced a big hit in the first half of 96 and a sudden drop in the second half of the year, their status in the music market is still in the category to be determined, because no one knows what their next album will sell like - maybe it will soar to an unattainable height like "Sister Sister Stand Up", or maybe it will plunge headlong into the deep ditch like "Let Me Fly", who knows?

So, for her new album, almost everyone is looking at it with a cold eye.

It wasn't until they brought the title song of the new album "The Boy Across the Side" to the Spring Festival Gala for the first time, with a youthful and beautiful image and the same youthful dynamic style that everyone had a hunch that it was estimated that the album "The Boy Across the Side" would not be "Let Me Fly", but "Sister and Sister Stand Up".

Sure enough.

After the official release after the Spring Festival, "The Boy Opposite" almost perfectly reproduced the unparalleled domineering spirit of "Sister Sister Stand Up" that swept the country last year in this traditional record sales off-season.

In Dongguan Bookstore, they won a sales record of 30,000 copies in a single week. broke 20,000 copies five times in a single week, and its results were second only to the previous "The Sound of the Waves" and "Sister Sister Stand Up", ranking third in the history of the album's best-selling list.

On the golden song on-demand list of the Voice of China Radio, "The Boy Across the Side" has achieved a maximum of six songs on the list at the same time, and at the same time, the title song of "The Boy Across the Side". Since landing on the Spring Festival Gala, he has been sitting firmly in the first place, and no one can shake it, and then, this song has dominated the top of the chart for seven weeks!

In all parts of the country, "The Boy on the Other Side Looks", "Oops", "Love" (Little Tiger Version, Author's Note), "Butterfly Flying", "Baby I'm Sorry", "I Wish You Peace", "Chinese Folk Songs", ...... This series of songs also successfully occupied the playback equipment and large speakers of large and small video stores across the country at the same time, for a while. Almost everywhere you go, you can hear the five girls singing.

In the two months before and after, they were definitely the most popular ones in the north and south of the country!

It can even be said that they have swept away the gloom and gloom of last year's "Let Me Fly", and regained the infinite light of the first youth girl group in China.

Then, in mid-March, Feng Feifei released a new album, as promised. Of course, she was going to step up and take the baton, but it turned out. She sank - three weeks before the new album, Feng Feifei was always pressed under the five elements that had been on the market for several weeks, and she didn't even show the potential to rush up, and then gradually sank to the bottom!

Because in April, Zhou Yan's new album was released.

And the release of Zhou Yan's new album finally ended the situation of "The Boy Across the Side" dominating various lists for nearly two months - the so-called four divas in the music industry before. Although Zhen Zhen is known as the return of the king, but in fact, the new album she released last year has lost the momentum of the king, and after a few months of listing, people summarized the data and found that she could not even compare with the newly rising junior Li Junru in the music industry, and Feng Feifei. can also be almost concluded to have fallen, He Runqing has been recognized by the industry as really going downhill after last year's "Bitter Bamboo", and now, there is only one Zhou Yan left who can really stand up and fight with these new forces that have recently risen in the music world.

After a few years of comeback, Zhou Yan's Zhou love songs are still good, especially for fans who like her voice, it is almost like tears in their eyes.

So, her new album is selling quite well.

According to Zhou Yan personally told Li Qian, Sony received shipment feedback that by mid-to-late June, the album should be able to steadily sell more than two million nationwide. Therefore, when Liao Liao's album began to sell well, Sony had even begun to plan and prepare for the double platinum celebration dinner for Zhou Yan.

Of course, Zhou Yan's comeback is like a gust of wind, but after all, she has been away from the music scene for several years, and the truly loyal fans are still limited after all, so after spending the first four weeks, her follow-up selling ability began to gradually weaken, so "The Boy Opposite", who has been chasing her steadily, gradually caught up.

Throughout early and mid-May, the two albums on both sides of them were wrestling with each other on various charts.

Then, Liao Liao finally came.

After "Grateful Heart" was launched, it really made people inside and outside the music industry understand what it means to return the king.

This album has bloodied all the domestic pop music charts, dominated almost all radio popular on-demand tracks, swept the amplification equipment in almost all cities in China, and monopolized every pair of music-loving ears!

After the release of this album, as long as you are in China, no matter where you go, as long as you meet someone walking or riding a bicycle wearing headphones on the street, randomly stop someone to ask, at least more than half of the ten people are listening to "Grateful Heart"!

It can be said that without waiting for the final data such as three-month sales, half-year sales, and one-year sales of this album, Liao Liao can already be indisputably crowned king!

As Xie Mingyuan, the head of Sony Records, the largest record company in China, sighed: the first person in China!

Moreover, Liao Liao's status today is no longer simply the evaluation of a certain person, an institution, or a certain media, this is the consensus of the domestic pop music industry - the media, music critics, musicians, singers, record companies, and Liao Liao has at least tens of millions of loyal fans across the country.

Of course. For in-depth practitioners in the music industry, the impact of the album "Grateful Heart" is not just as simple as Liao Liao being crowned the king of the domestic music scene.

First, "Grateful Heart" was a big hit, and there was a lot of gossip about the distribution companies around the world using this album to push the market. made everyone suddenly understand that once it became popular to the level of Liao Liao, once the album was achieved to the level of "Grateful Heart", in fact, to a certain extent, it could already be reduced to 100 meetings and directly come out of scratch to a distribution channel.

After all, the market will always move with profits. And "Grateful Heart" is a successful template for professional musicians to learn from, for fans. It's a wonderful musical journey, but it's a big profit cake for merchants, record labels, distributors, distributors, and bookstores.

Therefore, Li Qian's studio did not have any distribution channels of its own two months ago, and it was completely poor and white, but only two months later, just with the help of this "Grateful Heart", they easily opened up an extremely eye-catching distribution channel.

Second. With the blessing of the distribution channel, although as far as the industry knows. Although there are only two signed singers under it, Liao Liao and He Runqing, this small music company bundled by Li Qian's studio and Minghu Culture Company, has taken its first extremely solid step, and has since ceased to be Wuxia Ameng, and has rapidly grown into a force to be reckoned with in the entire industry.

And, whether it's from writing songs, making albums, and directing artists. or to publicity, packaging, and distribution, their strength can already be regarded as among the best among hundreds of domestic record companies!

Thirdly, there is no doubt about it. Li Qian once again proved his almost invincible musical talent!

At the same time, he also proved once again that anyone who Li Qian plus Liao Liao, or Li Qian plus Wu Xing, or Li Qian plus so-and-so, will be an absolute guarantee of popularity!

The singer can be changed, this doesn't matter, it's no problem, if you change the singer, there is a gap in singing skills, there is a level of strength, and in terms of the quality of the record, the difference is just a little singing ability, and when it is reflected in the sales of records, it is only the last two or three million copies that can make the singer's status infinitely higher.

However, as long as there is Li Qian, five million copies will be sold, and it will be a guaranteed data!

You must know that popular like Huang Yuqing, popular like Li Junru, and popular like Zhou Yan, who recently made a comeback, dare not guarantee that their records will be able to sell more than 5 million copies in the future!

But on the contrary, in Li Qian's shooting record, "Sister and Sister Stand Up" has been infinitely close to 8 million copies, "The Boy Across the Side Looks" is about to exceed 5 million copies in four months after it was listed, and "The Sound of the Waves Remains" has been on the market for one year, and it is said that the domestic sales alone have exceeded 9 million copies, and the future may be half a year or a year...... Well, it's been a year, and this album is destined to become the first ten platinum albums in China!

And "Grateful Heart", although the national sales data still needs to be fed back little by little later, but the record of Dongguan Bookstore's single-week sales exceeding 50,000 is enough to show its strength!

It can be said that as "Grateful Heart" conquered the ears of thousands of fans, and with this album sweeping all the major charts, there are only two things left that the entire pop music industry is looking forward to at the moment -

The first one, after He Runqing switched to Li Qian's studio, is said to have completed the recording of a "transformation" album, and it is said that it has been booked to be released in July or August. For this album, the entire industry is looking forward to it.

He Runqing is the queen of sweet songs that everyone is very familiar with, and her downward trend in the past two or three years, especially with the alternation of the old and the new seen in the domestic music scene, and the decline with the gradual loss of the mainstream market of sweet songs, has made all the people who like He Runqing in the entire music industry worry about it and are helpless.

Therefore, when Li Qian meets He Runqing, what kind of "transformation" will they join forces look like, and what kind of changes will it bring to the music world?

Also, the so-called "transformation" they joined forces in front of the market. Can it still succeed?

Although even if it is a commercial failure, it is not enough to negate the respective strength and status of the two of them, the album has failed, the transformation has failed, Li Qian is still the first gold medal producer and the first promoter in the industry, and He Runqing is still the irreplaceable sweet song queen in the domestic music scene in the past ten years. But what if they succeed?

If they succeed, they will be so successful that they will not only be admired by professional musicians, but they will also be able to do well in the market...... Then, Li Qian's status will be infinitely higher than now, until it reaches a height that all domestic musicians can't reach!

Much is expected of this.

As for the second thing...... That is. In addition to Liao Liao, Wuxing Wusu and He Runqing, who and which record company can get the next "Li Qian Production"?

Also, will Li Qian's studio, or Minghu Culture Company, maintain its current scale? Will they sign new talents? Will they expand their team of musicians?

If it was before, before "Grateful Heart" was not released, for this studio that suddenly cut in line. There will be a subconscious attitude of peer-to-peer rejection by record companies throughout the industry, and they will cooperate with Li Qian's studio. If there is a certain degree of psychological disobedience, then now, when the other party has its own distribution channel and has risen to become a force that cannot be ignored in this circle, the sense of disobedience in everyone's hearts has suddenly disappeared.

And when it comes to this. Now that people have risen, what's the use of not cooperating with others in our tacit understanding? Think about it the other way, what does it mean for Li Qian to make it? It means that it rises, it means that the album is a big hit!

Imply...... Guaranteed sales of at least 5 million copies!

In fact. You don't have to get a whole album of "Made by Li Qian", even if you use one of his works as the title song, it will be a good opportunity for any singer to take a leap!

You don't see, such as Huang Mai, such as Lin Xiufeng, such as Diao Yixiong, such as Zhou Feng, they were all just second- and third-tier singers, but now, in order to help Liao Liao smoothly transfer to Li Qian's studio, Li Qian took his four songs as favors, so "Wandering Song" became popular, "Friends" (Zang Tianshuo version, author's note) became popular, "I Think I Am the Sea", "Fire", "Big Scalp Shoes", also popular......

In just half a year's work, when these four songs were released one after another, although Changsheng Records lost one Liao Liao, it gained four leading male singers, and each of them was at the level of double platinum......

You don't see, Zhou Ye, a newcomer with some singing skills, just because he is a fellow countryman with Liao Liao, so he got a piece of Li Qian's work "The Crooked Moon" from Liao Liao, and then, although this is just a ballad, and it does not have too high popularity, in fact, compared to the four of Changsheng Records, Zhou Ye is indeed not popular, but within the music circle, this song has won unanimous praise!

Moreover, a few months after its listing, Zhou Ye's "The Crooked Moon", although it has never been sold tepidly, his sales have never been able to rise, but it is not low, and its long-term best-selling ability has made some big-name singers so popular that they can't do it, and if you calculate it carefully, you will find that in fact, unconsciously, the sales of his album have almost reached two million copies......

And before that, Zhou Ye was a pure newcomer!

Now, although he has not become popular overnight, it is undeniable that with that song "The Crooked Moon", he has become popular!

There are doubts in the first line, and the peak in the second line is steady!

And this is the value of Li Qian and "Li Qian Production"!

So, it seems that overnight, the entire pop music scene suddenly woke up.

So, one day, two days, three days, unconsciously, Li Qian's studio's phone began to get busy, when "Grateful Heart" was launched two weeks later, when the sales of a single 50,000 yuan broke out, Li Qian's studio's public contact number completely became a hotline, and Qi Jie's office phone, and even the mobile phone used in the office, began to show signs of being blown up!

So, first the agent, or the record company, then the musicians from all walks of life, and finally some singers, and even a group of singers with a fairly high status in the circle, began to come to Li Qian's studio one after another......

If it's a roundabout meeting an acquaintance who can catch up with the line, such as Zhou Ye, it would be even better! Even if Li Qian is not there for almost six or even seven days a week, it doesn't matter, even if He Runqing goes out to run a commercial performance, even if Liao Liao goes out to run publicity, it doesn't matter, there is Li Jinlong here, and Sun Meimei is here, these are all relationships worth wooing!

So, within a few weeks, Li Qian's studio received calls from several crews, and Qi Jie even took the time to go out to meet several directors and producers......

So, Lu Ruoying, deputy director of the TV drama production department of Huaxia TV, quickly called Qi Jie's private mobile phone, and she opened her mouth with a sentence, "Xiao Qi, I have a good drama here, but I have never been satisfied with the theme song, you can help me ask Li Qian, see if he has time, how about writing me a song again?"

So, Feng Yumin's phone even called Li Qian's mobile phone directly, "Little Overlord, I know you must be very busy now, but don't forget about the theme song of our Three Kingdoms......"
