Chapter 181: Teresa Teng's Legend
The last three months of 2001 passed as if they were as busy as ever.
In the past three months, the biggest event in the Chinese entertainment industry is the release of Teresa Teng's new album.
She hasn't released a new album in ten years!
"I Only Care About You" has undoubtedly become the title track of the album, and in addition to this song, six of the other nine songs are Fan Cheng's works, and Fan Sanshu instantly seems to have become Teresa Teng's queen musician!
Teresa Teng's album is recorded and released very quickly, because she doesn't need to shoot MVs at all and won't participate in any commercial performances, isn't it that no one invited her, just kidding, inviting Teresa Teng?
As for the publicity work, the existence of "Creation is King" has made Teresa Teng's company's publicity twice as effective with half the effort, and it doesn't take much time to ferment topics at all, and even in order to catch up with the popularity of "Creation is King", the pace of release has been advanced!
In order to promote the new album, and to repay the comprehensive entertainment channel and the "Creation is King" program, she put the song debut of the album except "I Only Care About You" at the end of "Creation is King".
So, in December, Teresa Teng's new album was released.
On the streets of China, a strange scene was staged.
Teresa Teng's music is the common memory of all Chinese, from the northernmost Harbin to the southernmost Lingao, and even in the Americas and Europe, there are countless Chinese who pay attention to this album.
Record stores all over the country are almost full of people on the day of release, especially in some big record stores in the imperial capital of the magic capital, many fans even wait all night at the door of the record store, looking forward to hearing Teresa Teng's voice for the first time.
This kind of scene that people all over the country are looking forward to is one of the miracles that only Teresa Teng's works can do.
The second miracle is the age group of fans.
Chasing stars or something, usually only young people do things, and if you are a little older, even if you like a certain star, it is easy to do this kind of thing.
But Teresa Teng's existence breaks this common sense.
Among the crowd waiting all night for the new album were many die-hard fans in their thirties and even in their forties, both men and women, and the reporters who came to interview even captured the old people with gray hair waiting in line to buy the album!
Mainland fans are chasing after them, and so are fans on Taiwan Island and Hong Kong Island, this is probably the farthest time Fan Cheng's name has been spread, Fan Cheng's reputation in the past is mainly concentrated in northern China, and the mainland is weaker, as for Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan, mainland programs or something, they have never paid much attention to it.
The fans who got the album rushed home as soon as possible, and began to listen to Teresa Teng's album that they had been waiting for more than ten years with the best audio equipment they could find.
The first song, "I Only Care About You", revisited the moving a few months ago, and the Teresa Teng part of the "Creation is King" program was even sold to the Hong Kong and Taiwan media, which shows how much influence Teresa Teng has in this world.
After the song "I Only Care About You", fans have been completely brought into Teresa Teng's world, and at this time, the prelude to the second song sounded.
Fans holding the lyric book saw that the song was still Fan Cheng's work, and the song was called ......
"Walking on the Road of Life"?
This is actually the work of Miyuki Nakajima, a Cantonese song sung by Teresa Teng in her previous life, in this world, Fan Cheng changed the song to Mandarin, there is no doubt that the quality is still classic.
"Happy and sad around you and around, enjoy the snow and fog in the wind and see the flowers in the happy whirlwind, no need to appreciate the beauty around you every day, and you will be sure that the dollar is around you ......"
Teresa Teng's life is full of all kinds of ruggedness, pain, happiness, starlight and pain, at this time she has already seen everything, Fan Cheng took her back to the entertainment industry, but she used this song to declare her open-mindedness.
She will never step into a glamorous but also thorny world again, and she is now enjoying every happy day as she walks the road of life.
And then came the third song.
"See Cooking Smoke Again", a work of insincerity, although Fan Cheng has never admitted that insincerity is himself, the mainstream entertainment industry and fans have quietly linked the two together.
But now Teresa Teng is tantamount to a cover of Wenzhen's works.
Then there is the fourth song, "Love Devotion".
This song is not Teresa Teng's song but Weng Qianyu's, the so-called three major Japanese Chinese singers, Teresa Teng, Weng Qianyu, Ouyang Feifei, in fact, Teresa Teng has a lot of Japanese songs, but Fan Cheng knows that opportunities are rare, many songs, only at her level, can she sing popular at her age, and Fan Cheng doesn't want these works to be dusty, and he doesn't even want to put the songs on his own show.
So these legendary songs were stuffed into Teresa Teng's album by Fan Cheng.
This act made her album a legend completely.
The name "Love Dedication" has two famous songs, one is sung by Wei Wei, a version written and composed by Chinese, and the other is a version composed by Miyamoto and sung by Weng Qianyu, the former has always been a classic of the Spring Festival Gala, so fans thought it was Teresa Teng Fan Cheng Wei Wei after seeing this name, but after hearing the song, they found that this was a brand new work.
Wei Wei's version of "The Dedication of Love" almost all mainlanders know that Wen Qianyu's version is also a classic, "Love is love, love is Amor", in Fan Cheng's world, this "Love Dedication" is Huaxia's first variety show "Zhengda Variety Show" that has gone through the childhood and youth of countless people with Huaxia's first variety show "Zhengda Variety Show".
Teresa Teng's interpretation of this song is slightly different from Weng Qianyu's interpretation in Fan Cheng's memory, but the two are equally excellent, and only she can sing such a grand but delicate, gentle but brilliant song full of sunshine and love.
After Weng Qianyu's "Love Devotion" ended, Ouyang Feifei was not "spared", the fifth song, "Passionate Desert".
Well...... That's right, it's Yu Chengqing's one.
This song is actually covered by Yu Chengqing from Ouyang Feifei, of course, she recreated it and sang this song into a rock version, and Ouyang Feifei is actually a cover, the real original song of this song is the 1973 Japanese twin group ThePeanuts, and the composer is Kunihiko Kase.
Fan Cheng's arrangement of this song is actually more inclined to Yu Chengqing's version, although Ouyang Feifei and the original version of "Passionate Desert" are more flavorful, but the sense of the times is old after all, and ...... The rock version of "Passionate Desert", how Teresa Teng will perform, Fan Cheng is also very much looking forward to it.
The final effect is quite good, although Teresa Teng is nearly fifty years old, but the soul of music has not dispersed, even if it is rock, as long as she wants to, she can still sing very well, and the addition of this song has also expanded the width and breadth of Teresa Teng's album.
Then there is the sixth song, also Ouyang Feifei's "LoveisOver".
The significance of this song to Ouyang Feifei in the previous life is about the same as the meaning of "I Only Care About You" to Teresa Teng, after listening to this song, fans' admiration and love for Teresa Teng's album are beyond measure.
Fan Cheng's six songs are really amazing!
The precedent of "I Only Care About You", the open-mindedness of "Walking on the Road of Life", the small bridge and flowing water of "See the Smoke Again", the fraternity of "Love Devotion", the fiery and unrestrained freedom of "Passionate Desert", and finally the affectionate nostalgia of "Loverisover......
Six songs, distinctive Teresa Teng characteristics, a little retro, but enough to sing classic tunes for many years, Fan Cheng, a 22-year-old man, not only brought back Teresa Teng, but also gave her such a classic comedy!
The album ...... No matter how expensive it is, you won't lose anything!
After six songs, Fan Cheng's songs came to an end, the seventh, eight, ninety-three songs came from Teresa Teng and other creators' creations, and the quality of these three songs was also quite good, and it seemed that it was difficult to confront Fan Cheng head-on, so these three songs have a completely different style from Fan Cheng's works.
is different from Fan Cheng's style, but Teresa Teng's familiar style, because these three songs are all very "Chinese" songs, one of the three songs is written and composed by Teresa Teng herself, and there is also a composer who is simply Qiong Yao, that's right, it is the great romance writer, in fact, Teresa Teng's previous "On the Water Side" was Qiong Yao's lyrics, and this time she provided Teresa Teng with a lyric.
After three songs, when it came to the last one, this song, the creator returned to Fan Cheng again.
"Goodbye My Love".
Teresa Teng likes a song very much, every time she sang this song in her previous life, she would be very emotional, but I am afraid it will not be like this in this life, on the one hand, it is almost impossible for her to do concerts again, on the other hand, say goodbye to her lover or something, she has already done it.
And for fans, the song has another meaning.
"Goodbye my lover"? Why is this name? Teresa Teng's goodbye, is it really a "lover"?
Is she saying goodbye to her lover, or is she saying goodbye to her fans?
Especially the recitation in the center of the song: "Goodbye my love, I will never forget you, and I hope you don't forget me, maybe we will meet one day, won't we?"
These words...... Are you really saying goodbye to your lover?
Listening to this song, the fans who love Teresa Teng very much burst into tears, she is actually saying goodbye to us, right?
Will your voice be your last voice on this record?
Teresa Teng didn't say it, and the people in Teresa Teng's company didn't say it, everything is speculation, but many fans feel that this guess is very reliable, because if it weren't for Fan Cheng, I'm afraid Teresa Teng wouldn't have returned to the music scene at all, because of him, because of "I Only Care About You", Teresa Teng brought Teresa Teng back to everyone's side again, and now she sings and the album is out, why do you want to stay here?
This speculation fueled people's reluctance to Teresa Teng, and when the song came out, those fans who were still curious also poured into the record store because of this song, after all, this may be Teresa Teng's last album and work, and everyone wants to keep her last memory.
The classic album works, the common memories of several generations, and the last voice are likely to be the last sounds, variety shows that have attracted huge attention across the country before the album is released, and under so many preconditions, Teresa Teng's album release numbers have completely exploded!
The album of "I Only Care About You" has ten songs, and the price of the genuine CD in the mainland is 68 yuan, and the number in Hong Kong and Taiwan is about the same.
There are no big-name artists to release albums on the release day of the album, in fact, there is, originally there was a first-class minority singer named Sonya in the world who was scheduled to release a new album on this day, but I heard that Teresa Teng was going to set this time period, Sonya and the operation team did not hesitate to change the album release time, and there was no one Teresa Teng, especially this time.
In addition to Teresa Teng, only some new albums of small shrimp artists were released at the same time, which could not pose a threat to the law at all, so on the charts, Teresa Teng's unbeatable numbers looked extremely scary.
In second place, 35,000 copies were sold on the first day of the release day, 7,000 copies were sold on the second day, and 3,500 copies were sold on the third day, and then Teresa Teng, the first day of sales figures...... 704,000 ...... On the second day, 798,000, and on the third day, 1,045,000......
In a week, the total sales of Teresa Teng's album have exceeded five million copies!
This is an absolutely miraculous sales figure, which is only guaranteed in a huge country like China, and at the same time when piracy and the Internet are not particularly deep.
Five million doesn't seem like an exaggeration, but it's very powerful when it comes to the first week's sales data, and today's album sales are not the era when the first week sales in Japan were almost equal to 90% of all sales in Fan Cheng's era, and the sales data in the second week will not decline much, and even with the growth of word of mouth, it is likely that the sales will increase a little!
In that case, it would be 10 million sales in two weeks!
After coming to this world for two years, this is the economic record sales Fan Cheng already has a general concept.
Because the World War II did not receive the injury of the muscles and bones, the world's China and the United States are basically the two poles of the world, reflected in the music market, the record sales of China and the United States are basically not too different, this is only now, according to the music market is expected plum wine in the past two years, China's music market sales figures are likely to surpass the United States, no way, after all, the population of China is four times higher than that of the United States.
Compared with the Japan of the world of Fan Cheng, in most cases, the sales volume is about ten times higher than that of the world's Japan, Teresa Teng's sales of five million, converted into Fan Cheng World is equivalent to 500,000 a week, and the next week is likely to exceed one million sales, so converted, the sales look less terrible.
But...... That's two weeks of tens of millions of sales......
The price of a CD of 68 yuan, with tens of millions of sales, is 700 million yuan!
It's terrible to count like that......
However, think about her again......
Think about how she hasn't released an album for ten years......
I think it's acceptable. [.]
