Chapter 107: Ascending to the Top

Liao Liao stayed in Jinan Mansion for a total of fifteen days.

After the tenth day of the lunar month, the Spring Festival Gala on Huaxia TV will begin to enter the final rehearsal stage, treating this party that is obviously a higher level than the other three galas, even if it is a superstar of Liu Mingliang and Zhen Zhen, no one dares to put on a show, Liao Liao of course must go back, and officially enter the program group management from the first overall rehearsal.

As Li Qian's agent, this time, Qi Jie will go to Shuntian Mansion with Liao Liao, on the one hand, she wants to officially spread her identity as Li Qian's agent through Liao Liao's channels, and from then on, if there is anything to find Li Qian, you don't have to go through Liao Liao or Cao Zhan in a roundabout way, and on the other hand, she has to go to Hua Record on behalf of Li Qian to finalize the last details of the cooperation contract between the two parties, such as payment method and time, etc.

Then, it is said that the Spring Festival Gala will not complete the last official recording until the 28th of the lunar month, and at that time, Liao Liao will go back to her hometown in the northeast to celebrate the New Year, and Qi Jie will return to Jinan Mansion. This is because it is said that the boss once again rejected the proposal of the live broadcast of the Spring Festival Gala and continued to use the recording method, otherwise, Qi Jie can come back, and Liao Liao even has to spend Chinese New Year's Eve in the studio hall of Huaxia TV.

Li Qian had to go to class during the day, and there was no way to send her, so he said goodbye to them the night before.

After all, after the end of the fourth month of the solar calendar, Li Qian will definitely go to Shuntianfu to sign up for the professional examinations of several art academies, and it will only be two months after the sky, and everyone can meet again.

Needless to say, Li Qian's maturity and peace of mind go without saying, although Liao Liao is only in his early twenties. But it's not a sticky character, after that thing that made both of them a little embarrassed that day, both of them quickly adjusted, whether it was three people eating together, or two people practicing songs together after that. Each other is light and breezy, as always, there is talk and laughter, and no one takes the initiative to mention anything.

On the contrary, that night, after eating and going back to practice singing for a while, Liao Liao got up to say goodbye and sent her out. Li Qian also washed up and quickly lay down and fell asleep, but in the middle of the night, Liao Liao suddenly sent a text message: Then, I bit on purpose!

When he woke up the next morning and saw the text message, Li Qian smiled helplessly.

…………

Liao Liao came to Jinan Mansion. And the outside world almost knows about the things that have been lived for more than ten days.

Moreover, during her stay in Jinan Mansion, in addition to delaying Li Qian's work in Wang Huaiyu's wedding band several times, it did not have any impact on Li Qian's study and life.

Even, although it was only half a month, and there were only two weekends and four days off, it was so that both of them could fully devote themselves to practicing songs. The rest of the time was only the two hours before going to bed after dinner, but the two of them still felt that they had gained a lot - although the contract had not yet been officially signed, Li Qian prepared the works for Liao Liao's next album. She has practiced to the point where she can make the final recording at any time, and there are already four songs.

I have to say that compared with the five girls who adjusted the Five Elements and Wusu, it was really much easier to help Liao Liao be the producer.

And this time Liao Liao went back, in addition to the four songs that had been practiced "The Woman Afraid of the Dark", "When I Woke Up from a Dream", "Ferry" and "Loess High Slope". Li Qian also put the remaining six songs prepared for her new album, along with all the arrangements. It's all over to her. In this way, when Li Qian went to Shuntianfu to take the professional exam after the New Year. She estimated that she had already figured out most of the songs, and if there were no major problems, she only needed Li Qian's help to adjust her feelings before the recording could be officially started.

Well, Liao Liao's next album, Li Qian named her "The Sound of the Waves Remains".

Just as when Li Qian and Liao Liao first talked about this album, the goals and directions he set for this album were the same, and Li Qian was also cautious about the selection of songs for this album, and it was finally determined after repeated deliberations.

Of course, after the song was selected, Li Qian was still full of confidence in her next album.

After all...... Those songs are amazing!

"The Woman Who Fears the Dark" continues Liao Liao's previous light rock style urban love songs, and "Loess High Slope" continues the folk song Northwest Wind, her album is already sure to be loved by quite a lot of fans who have accumulated before, and as another Chinese style, works like "The Sound of the Waves Still", which has been popular in another time and space, will definitely not be worse than "Unfinished Love".

But if that's all there is to it, then Liao Liao's second album can only be regarded as a tie with each other in terms of song selection and production level. Considering that the first album has a first-impression goodwill bonus, this album may even feel less exciting than the first album with fans.

However, it is not terrible that "Afraid of the Dark" is not as hard as the three songs of "Persistence", "Wild Flowers" and "Cheers, Friend", because the focus and focus of this album is not a soft rock love song.

It began to go to two extremes – yes, lyrical ballad on one end and violent rock on the other.

If the three soft rock love songs in Liao Liao's first album were very popular, and there were still quite a lot of ingredients that accounted for the light of the novel genre, then in this album, Li Qian and Liao Liao will join hands to challenge the traditional strengths of the domestic music scene!

In terms of folk songs, needless to say, "Ferry", the classic golden song plus Liao Liao's voice that has been broken by Li Qian, although it will definitely not be the kind of song that people love passionately, but its popularity continues to play, and it should definitely not be underestimated.

Then, there is "Bittersweet Years".

Well, for this song, Li Qian's impression is too deep.

Around 90 years after the time and space he had previously experienced, the song was accompanied by a certain hit TV series. It was popular all over the country, and in that year, the sales of this song on genuine tapes alone were as high as about 25 million boxes, and its influence continued until a few years later, and it was still sung endlessly, and it was definitely called the national divine comedy of that era!

Arguably. Even if there is only one song in Liao Liao's next album, Li Qian can guarantee that it will definitely become popular! After all, even if it loses the blessing of the hit TV series, the National Divine Comedy is the National Divine Comedy, from the lyrics to the song, this song is destined to be a popular work in the Chinese music scene.

But even so, Li Qian still felt that it was not enough. Therefore, the third folk song, he took out "What a Big Tree" - no matter what the reason for this song was in the first place, in the end, it became the theme song of Teacher's Day, but it is definitely unmistakable. And in addition, it was once considered one of the best public welfare songs in the Chinese music industry!

Therefore, "Ferry" plus "Bittersweet Years", plus "What a Big Tree", Li Qian has absolute confidence that he can pick up the ballad, and he stands extremely firmly!

As for rock, well, the two pieces he came up with for Liao Liao. They are "Come Back", and "I'm Ugly, But I'm Gentle" - the former may not be able to become popular. But for professional listeners who like rock and roll, it is definitely a work that is enough to shock the soul, with Liao Liao's voice, well, even Li Qian is looking forward to this. As for the latter. Its degree of classicism does not need to be set off by adjectives at all.

So. With these two songs, Li Qian believes that Liao Liao can definitely inject a shot in the arm for the declining rock in China. And successfully planted her flag on the rock mountain!

Well, from one end to the other, the tracks of this album are: folk - folk - folk - Chinese style - soft rock - rock. In fact, at this point, the album is strong enough.

However, it is also missing some absolutely popular elements.

Therefore, between Chinese style and light rock, it also needs to add two more pop hits with enough weight.

That is: "Holding Hands" and "When I Wake Up"!

The former, in the time and space that Li Qian experienced, was one of the masterpieces of Su Rui, and in 93 years, it became popular all over the country, and the latter was simply the first masterpiece in the history of Taiwan's record industry to sell more than one million copies! It can sell more than 1 million copies on the treasure island of only more than 20 million people, and it is extremely similar in all backgrounds, but the population is as high as more than one billion?

Therefore, ten songs on an album, at least five of which belong to the masterpieces that can drive the whole album to sell well with just one song, coupled with Liao Liao's singing skills and just opened fame, Li Qian believes that even if it is just to continue the glory, it is an insult to this album, it must and will definitely sell again!

…………

After sending Liao Liao and Qi Jie away, Li Qian threw away all the things about the album and began to devote his whole body and mind to reviewing. After all, in a few days, the final exams will be coming! And considering that he will go to Shuntianfu to take the professional examination of the art academy not long after the New Year, Li Qian knows that there is really not much time he can use to study seriously!

Of course, even if he wants to ignore things outside the window and only read the books of sages, it is impossible to really do it - in fact, whether he admits it or not, even if Li Qian has not yet debuted, he has already been entangled in it, and he has unknowingly become a part of the domestic pop music scene.

…………

With the arrival of another Monday, the album "Sister Sister Stand Up", which continues to be popular, once again appeared on the sales list of Dongguan Bookstore, and it is the first place again!

25,885 sheets!

Compared to last week, its sales are declining, but compared to last week's 26,557 pieces, the magnitude and speed of its decline are almost negligible!

You know, its sales base is 20,000 yuan, and it has been on the market for four or five weeks, but it has only dropped by less than 1,000 copies a week! So far, it has not only firmly occupied the top of the sales list, but also stabilized at more than 25,000 copies, which makes other record companies in China crazy with envy without exception!

639 copies in the first week, 27,194 copies in the second week, 30,885 copies in the third week, 26,557 copies in the fourth week, and 25,885 copies in the fifth week - in just one month, the album sold a whopping 110,160 copies at Dongguan Bookstore alone!

And just this week, the National Recording Industry Association announced the national record sales data for the previous period, of which the one belonging to "Sister Sister Stand Up" is that its national sales in the first week were 10,225 copies, and the national sales in the second week were 573896!

At this moment, even if you hope that this album will only sell well in Dongguan Bookstore, but it may not meet the so-called twenty-fold law, you are completely dead!

More than 570,000 a week!

Not only did it directly kill the record of 370,000 copies in a single week held by Liu Mingliang for more than three years without any suspense, but it can also be easily found that its national sales have even reached more than 21 times the sales of Dongguan Bookstore in the same period! Moreover, all insiders know that although this sales ratio is not completely fixed, it will vary from person to person and from album to album, but as long as the data of the first week comes out, for an album, it will largely continue such a ratio within half a year, even if there is a fluctuation, the amplitude will be quite small!

So, although there is only one week's data at the moment, it is enough to prove that this album is not only selling well at Dongguan Bookstore! Moreover, looking at its sales on Dongguan Bookstore in the past few weeks, its national sales during the same period are almost on the verge of being released!

So, just after the release of this sales data, whether it was cheering or howling in grief, almost all the media across the country agreed that because this album was released on Thursday, December 26, 96, so, as of the end of January, this album has been on the market for less than five weeks, in fact, 32 days, and its national sales data must have been stable at more than two million copies!

One month, two million sales, double platinum!

At this point, even those who have only a slight concept of record sales understand that the seemingly unattainable sales of five million copies can only be regarded as a small threshold for this album, and it is definitely not a ceiling. Of course, it is even more unlikely to be the so-called end.

It is generally believed in the industry that between 600 and 8 million copies should be the final sales of this album.

With the national sales data of the Record Industry Association and the overwhelming reports of various media across the country, the price of the commercial performance of the Wuxing Wusu Group has jumped to the price of 250,000 yuan for one song and 700,000 yuan for three songs in one commercial performance!

This price is absolutely overwhelming in the domestic music scene!

And at this time, after politely declining Li Jinlong's invitation to call a dinner to celebrate the achievements of Wuxing Wusu, Li Qian plunged into the examination room and began the penultimate final exam of his high school career. (To be continued)

ps: exploded for a few days, tired to death, from the left ear to the left gum to the tonsils, this way it hurts, the pain is so painful that I don't even dare to chew anything, the doctor said it was on fire, so, okay...... Obediently enter the rhythm of taking medicine!

Here, the knife wants to remind everyone that it is the time when the seasons change and the temperature fluctuates the most drastically, although it is good to cover the spring and autumn freezes, but also do what you can, pay attention to keeping warm, pay attention to rest, don't make it like me!

Well, finally, that's all for today.
