Chapter 0167 Billboard
The two-day trip to the deep city soon came to an end.
The contract was not negotiated, but I was slapped in the face.
Liu Tao personally sent Zhou Lin to the airport, and the two didn't say anything all the way.
Many times, silence is better than sound, and silence is also a tacit understanding.
Zhou Lin entered the waiting hall, turned around and waved goodbye to Liu Tao, and when he turned around again, he felt a little inexplicably lonely.
Sitting in the waiting hall, watching the people coming and going, and looking at a pair of little couples snuggling up to each other and feeding snacks to each other's mouths, Zhou Lin was a little lonely.
He carries the memories of his past life, carries a treasure trove of literature and art, and has a golden finger that everyone envies, but he can't dispel his loneliness.
Even if he won Xu Yunyue's heart, even if he rolled the sheets with Liu Tao, the goddess of the screen, even if he knew the love of Ren Feifei and Xia Da, even if the surroundings were so lively, the crowd was so turbulent, and the world was so prosperous, he still had a kind of loneliness.
It's like watching a movie that has known the ending for a long time, and it treasures an earth-shattering secret, but you can't find anyone to share it, you can't spoil it, and you can't leave the scene early, you can only laugh and cry with everyone.
It's not hypocrisy, it's just the feelings of an old soul who used to be a literary and artistic youth.
This feeling didn't last long before I was disturbed by the call.
The caller was Wei Hai, the newcomer that Tian Lai Company wanted to push.
"Mr. Zhou, my new album press conference has just ended, and your song "You at the Same Table" was broadcast, and the on-site response was very good. Mr. Zhou, thank you so much, without you, there would be no album! As soon as the phone was connected, Wei Hai's excited voice chattered endlessly.
Knowing that Wei Hai was just a sycophant, Zhou Lin was still quite comfortable.
"Don't be proud, keep trying. When I'm free, I'll make a few more songs for you. Zhou Lin said.
Wei Hai was overjoyed, thanked him again and again, and chattered for a long time before hanging up the phone.
After hanging up the phone, Zhou Lin remembered that Zhang Xueyuan called a few days ago and said that Yue Lingfeng's new album was selling well, so he curiously checked the Chinese Music Billboard on the Internet.
The Chinese Music Billboard is the most important list in the Chinese music circle, updated once a week, and is divided into two lists: "Top 10 Most Popular Singles" and "Top 10 Hottest Albums" according to the number of media plays, listeners' attention and album sales.
Being able to appear on any of the Chinese Music Billboards is the highest pride of music practitioners.
Do you want to call yourself the king of heaven and be on the list?
You say that you are a diva and how many times have you been on the list?
Did you say you were the most popular and won the first place on the billboard?
Do you think the album sells well and can be found on the charts?
This list is a battlefield to verify the strength of singers.
Ascend and glorify the four directions.
If you can't climb up, please try harder.
It's that cruel!
The billboard is updated every Monday, Zhou Lin opened the list and took a look, and what caught his eye was "Top Ten Most Popular Singles", and the song title in the last place was really familiar and couldn't be more familiar.
No. 10 of the top 10 most popular singles on the billboard: "I am a wolf from the north", singer: Yue Lingfeng, distribution company: Tian Lai, popularity Cheng dรน: 82%.
Looking at another list, the results were equally unexpected.
No. 10 of the top 10 hottest albums on the billboard: "Wolf", singer: Yue Lingfeng, distribution company: Tian Lai, last week's sales: 23,546 copies.
Zhou Lin was stunned for a moment.
When Zhang Xueyuan called, he only said that "Wolf" was selling very well.
Zhou Lin thought that this good was just "good", but he didn't expect that "good" would come to this point, and he actually appeared on the double list of the billboard!
What's more, it's September!
Golden Nine Silver Ten has never been just a term in the real estate industry, and it is the same in the entertainment industry.
In September, the summer is passing away, and the autumn wind is about to rise, which is a season full of consumption.
The main consumer group faced by the entertainment industry is young people, down to 12 or 3 years old, up to 27 or 8 years old, and these people are the most willing to spend money on entertainment.
If you want to make money from young people, you have to seize three slots.
First, during the Spring Festival, young people have New Year's money in their hands, and their spending power has been greatly improved.
The second is the summer vacation schedule, young people have a lot of time, and they can't spend money if they want to.
The third is the September and October schedule just after the summer vacation, don't look at it connected with the previous schedule, in fact, the popularity is not inferior at all.
You don't see that the KTV in September is always full, the movie theater in September is always full, the TV show in September is one after another, and even the bathroom in the shopping mall in September has to queue up.
For the teenagers who go to school, the summer vacation just passed has not faded away, and there is more or less pocket money left in their pockets, and there must be some common topics when they get together with their friends and classmates at school again, right?
So a new movie, a show that has just started, a new book that has just been released, or an album that has just been released will be included in their consumption list.
For office workers, September is a good season to fall in love, what is more suitable for a date than watching a movie with a loved one, what is sweeter than hugging a loved one on the sofa while eating popcorn while watching a heartless variety show, what gift is more intimate than giving a loved one a popular album?
So in September every year, the entertainment market will continue the hot scene of the summer file, and the fight is particularly fierce.
Especially in the music industry, because the top kings and queens generally choose the Spring Festival file or summer vacation file to release albums, then the third-tier newcomers, second-line familiar faces and first-line big names have all been pushed to the September and October files, seizing the blank period after the kings and queens release new songs, hoping to make a lot of money by borrowing the east wind.
It is conservatively estimated that in September 1999, 30 albums were released on the market, half of which were well-known second-tier singers, as well as three first-line big names, plus a group of newborn calves who were not afraid of tigers, and the entire music market was in chaos.
Yue Lingfeng's "Wolf" was also released in September, just the day before he released the album, the first-line singer veteran folk singer Ding Yunlong just released a new album "Hometown Sky", and the day after he released the album, another first-line singer Gu Qiang, who just won the best arrangement award at the annual event of the music billboard last year, also released a new album "The Strongest Battle".
Although the sales of Yue Lingfeng's previous album were not bad, he has always been just a singer hovering in the second line, and his current status is not even as good as Bai Hua, who became popular with the song "Laughing Red Dust".
This time, his album was sandwiched by two first-line singers one after the other, and many people thought that Yue Lingfeng was going to be finished.
Unexpectedly, as soon as his new album came out, it rushed directly to the list!
