Chapter 34: "Nothing"

Rock, in the entire music industry, is still a niche genre.

With just one song "Once You", Zhao Zhenghao has almost decided to win this year's "best-selling rock song"!

And "Once You" is only the title song of Zhao Zhenghao's new album!

On the fourth day of the release of "Once You", Zhao Zhenghao updated the bib again and officially launched the second wave of the title song of the new album - "Those Flowers"!

"Those Flowers" is more of a folk song in style, and it is the one that Zhao Zhenghao selected for the new album, the one that is the furthest from rock.

The reason why he insisted on including it in the new album is like what he said in his scarf, "I would like to send this song to the fans who have supported me all these years!"

"Those Flowers", just by looking at the title of the song, you know that it is sung to girls, and Zhao Zhenghao's fans are mainly young girls between the ages of sixteen and twenty, who are the same age as flowers.

As a "Pickle Girl Divine Comedy", "Those Flowers" has an influence among young people, and there is no doubt that in Zhao Zhenghao's previous life, this song must be present at the evening parties held on almost all college campuses!

Good music can transcend the concept of time and space, in Zhao Zhenghao's previous life, this song "Those Flowers" can be sung for more than ten years, endure, and come to this world, which is also a classic.

Although the explosion of audio downloads is not as fast as "Once You", the total number of downloads in two days has just exceeded 10 million times, but Zhao Zhenghao is very optimistic about its durability, and the sales cycle will far exceed "Once You".

Up to now, the longest number of weeks on the "Golden Song Chart" achieved by Chinese songs is 32 weeks, and Zhao Zhenghao believes that "Those Flowers" is very likely to break this record.

The "Golden Melody Chart" is an authoritative list hosted by the Dragon Country Music Federation, which counts the total sales volume of major music source websites and offline entities on a weekly basis, and includes the top 100 singles in terms of sales.

The sales volume here includes two parts: audio source and physical part.

However, now the physical sales of singles have existed in name only, at most, some emperors have released a small number of commemorative editions and collector's editions, and the number is negligible.

The "Golden Melody Chart" has no restrictions on the release time of the songs included, only the sales volume is considered, as long as the sales volume reaches the top 100 of the week, no matter how long it is released, it will be included in the list.

"Once You", with nearly 100 million downloads of music sources achieved in five days of release, has already booked the champion of the "Golden Melody Chart" in the second week of October in advance.

Due to the current single sales model, compared with before, there have been huge changes, more dependent on timeliness, sales can explode to tens of millions in a short period of time, and then the follow-up is weak, so generally a new song can win the "Golden Song Chart" once, which is enough to be proud.

There are very few who can win the championship for two consecutive weeks, and if you want to win three consecutive championships, in addition to the quality of the song itself, you have to hope for a good luck and not crash with the new songs of other big-name singers.

"Once You" was lucky, and no big-name singers released new songs during the same period, making it unbeatable in terms of music sales.

Although "Those Flowers" was released in the middle of the week and suffered a bit of a loss during the sales period, with more than 10 million downloads, it was enough to drop into the top 10 of the "Golden Song Chart" in the second week of October.

In addition to the "Golden Melody List", the Dragon Country Music Federation also has another authoritative list - the "Annual Golden Melody List"!

The "Golden Melody List of the Year" includes songs released in a whole calendar year, and the top 10 songs in total sales in that calendar year will win the "Top 10 Golden Songs of the Year" award at the "Golden Melody Awards" sponsored by the Dragon Country Music Federation.

"Once You" and "Those Flowers", although they have just been released, in Zhao Zhenghao's heart, they have already booked two places for this year's "Top Ten Golden Songs of the Year".

……

The sales growth curve of "Those Flowers" is flat, which makes those sunspots see opportunities.

Although the sales volume exceeded 10 million in two days, it was successful enough for the average singer, and besides, although the sales growth curve of "Those Flowers" was flat, it has been rising, and it obviously has the potential for long-term sales.

However, those blackspots who are black for the sake of black, don't care about these, and even four or six people who don't understand them shouted out the remarks of "Zhao Zhenghao Jianglang is exhausted".

As long as you know a little about music, you will laugh at such remarks with your eyes open and talking blindly.

Ding Jiepeng also didn't think that the slow sales growth of "Those Flowers" was because the quality of the song was not good, but he found another way to find the point of Hei Zhao Zhenghao.

On the third day of the release of "Those Flowers", Ding Jiepeng updated a scarf, and the content was quite exciting, "What is the real rock 'n' roll! Let me tell you!"

The scarf is linked to the audition version of a new song, which was originally the title song prepared by Ding Jiepeng for the new album, but now in order to save face with Zhao Zhenghao, he can't even care about the new album, so he threw it out at this time.

Although this scarf is not named, those who know about the turmoil some time ago know who Ding Jiepeng is targeting.

The two songs "Once You" and "Those Flowers" are indeed not like the rock in the national impression, especially "Those Flowers", the three authoritative and rigorous music websites - Penguin Music, Planet Music and Chihiro Music, did not classify it as a rock category, but included it in the folk song list.

This gave Ding Jiepeng's accusation the most legitimate reason - where is the rock you are talking about?

Zhao Zhenghao had been waiting for Ding Jiepeng and his ilk to jump out by themselves, and the posture of slapping his face had already been set, just waiting for them to stretch their faces over.

On the fourth day of the release of "Those Flowers", Zhao Zhenghao updated the bib as scheduled, "If you think rock can only be like this, then I will give it to you!"

With the update of the scarf, the third wave of the title song of the new album - "Nothing" has been officially launched!

If "Once You" is more popular and "Those Flowers" is more folk, then "Nothing" is the purest hard rock!

As a song that opened a new era of Chinese rock music in Zhao Zhenghao's previous life, the status of "Nothing" in the Chinese rock industry can be said to be irreplaceable.

When Zhao Zhenghao accused Ding Jiepeng of rock and roll and did not "rock", he released this heavyweight work, and he was not ready to give Ding Jiepeng any room for maneuver at all.

No contrast, no harm!

The so-called rock song that Ding Jiepeng worked hard to create is nothing compared to this song "Nothing"!
