Chapter 160: Your circle is really messy

On September 5, Lu Chen's debut album "You at the Same Table" was warmed up and promoted in Feixun Music.

This album, which took more than two months to complete, is undoubtedly the real focus of Lu Chen's business after the establishment of his studio, and its sales success or failure has greatly affected Lu Chen's status in the pop music scene.

No independent artist has released his first solo album so soon after his debut.

As a newly famous singer-songwriter, Lu Chen's talent is undoubted, and many of the songs he has created have appeared on the original music list, and the live version of the original works in "Sing China" has also frequently swept the charts of Feixun Music.

Therefore, there are not many people in the circle who are openly and secretly concerned about the online release of this album, but not everyone is optimistic about the sales of "You at the Same Table", and there are many voices in the Inspur blog.

First of all, Lu Chen didn't put a lot of effort into the promotion and hype of this album, he advertised it on his blog, and the publicity position of the Feixun Music website was also very ordinary, giving people the feeling that he was shy and reluctant to spend money.

Today's artists want to become popular without packaging promotion, which is basically a fool's dream, and if the albums of new singers do not spend a lot of effort to promote and hype, the sales are often very bleak.

Relevant stakeholders, such as the websites and portals of Feixun Music, will also ignore them intentionally or unintentionally, and easily do not give free publicity resources, which can be regarded as an unspoken rule in the industry.

Like Lu Chen's original works in "Sing China", many songs have appeared on the click list and download list of Feixun Music, but they all quickly fell off the list and disappeared with the end of "Sing China".

The reason is very simple, Lu Chen did not spend money on advertising in Feixun Music, how could he occupy such an important promotion resource in vain, and it was already very face-saving to be able to show his face on the list.

If Feixun Music is not a partner of Beijing Satellite TV's "Sing China", it is estimated that there is no chance of being on the list!

This time, Lu Chen officially cooperated with Feixun Music. The latter took away the exclusive sales right, and a small advertising space still had to pay 100,000 yuan of real money.

Under normal circumstances, with the prestige of the champion of "Sing China", Lu Chen's album is still promising.

But he ran into a few strong opponents!

The first opponent, Cui Zhengzhi, was the runner-up of Shonan Satellite TV's "Super Male Voice" in 2014, and signed a contract with the company Orange Entertainment. On September 1, he warmed up in Feixun Music to promote his first album "Anger".

This Chinese-Korean idol singer is the main new artist of Orange Field Entertainment, a major predator in the industry.

After nearly a year of brewing, his album is definitely a masterpiece, and its title song "Provoke Fire" is currently ranked first on the click list of Feixun Music Network, which can be described as menacing!

The second opponent, Zou Bei, the winner of the 2015 deep-sea satellite TV's ace variety show "National Idol", signed a contract with Starlight Media, which is precisely the holding company of [Starlight Show].

Zou Bei graduated from Huyin and is a real talented woman. She also brought her debut album "Blooming Flowers", which began to warm up at Feixun Music on September 2.

As for the third opponent, it was undoubtedly Lu Chen's old acquaintance - Ling Xiaoxiao.

Ling Xiaoxiao played abnormally in the final of "The Strongest Singer-Songwriter", and only finished 5th.

Strictly speaking, his defeat really has something to do with Lu Chen, the fan groups of both sides fought to the death on the Inspur blog, and in the end, Lu Chen won the victory.

This time, Ling Xiaoxiao's first album "True Love Invincible" landed on Feixun Music against Lu Chen, undoubtedly with a strong taste of revenge.

Ling Xiaoxiao's signing company is Jin Hongwei's Juxing Company!

The production time of his solo album and Lu Chen should be about the same, and the warm-up promotion will begin on September 3.

Four new artists and new singers released their first solo albums at the same time on Feixun Music. And the time is so intensive to carry out publicity and warm-up, such a situation has never been seen in the history of Feixun Music website.

Usually unless it's a mortal enemy. or deliberate hype, otherwise there is a tacit understanding between entertainment records and brokerage companies, and the first albums of its artists are often staggered to avoid the occurrence of a match.

The competition in the pop music scene is also very fierce, and a large number of new artists emerge every year who are qualified to release albums. It is all a role promoted by various companies, and no one wants to meet the opponent's bayonet at a critical moment.

Kill 1,000 enemies, and you may injure yourself 800!

Orange Fields Entertainment, Starlight Media and Juxing are all top or first-class large companies in the industry.

You can imagine how fierce the scene will be when the three of them fight together.

In fact, now the main advertising space of Feixun Music Network. Basically, it has been carved up by three companies, and in blogs, forums, post bars, etc., their propaganda offensive is fierce!

In comparison, Lu Chen was simply pitifully weak!

To put it simply, after Lu Chen debuted in "Singing China" and won the championship, he did not participate in any announcements, nor did he shoot advertisements to hold fan meetings to brush his face, and he was so low-key that he didn't look like an artist.

Cui Zhengzhi, Zou Bei and Ling Xiaoxiao, which one is not promoting himself everywhere, in today's fast-paced era of life, the ups and downs of star idols are very frequent, it is very easy for fans to like the new and hate the old, and artists who are not often on entertainment news will soon be forgotten.

Lu Chen is powerful, but he doesn't accept notices or hype like this, and the popularity he has accumulated with great difficulty will not be consumed in a long time.

It's not the eighties and nineties now, and a popular song can be sung for more than ten or twenty years!

"Our biggest problem is that most of the songs in the album have resources on the Internet."

Lu Chen's studio, Lu Xi's manager's office temporarily served as a small meeting.

In addition to Chen Xiaomei at the front desk, other members of the studio were all present, plus Li Mubai.

My sister rubbed her frowning brows and said helplessly: "So the fans' desire to buy won't be strong." ”

Compared with the albums of Cui Zhengzhi, Zou Bei and Ling Xiaoxiao, Lu Chen's "You at the Same Table" is very transparent, and all 10 songs can be searched for free resources on the Internet, lacking a sense of mystery and expectation, which naturally greatly reduces the desire to buy.

Especially in the face of strong competition, many pop music lovers are likely to search for pirated content on the Internet after Lu Chen's album is released, and are more willing to spend money on the new albums of the other three.

Now Lu Xi has become more and more into the role of studio manager and agent, and she spends a lot of time every day to understand the news dynamics of the network and the circle, and makes every effort to give advice to Lu Chen.

She said: "I just received a call from the head of Feixun's music business, asking if we need to postpone the release of the album to avoid a collision with Choi Jung-ji. ”

According to the agreement reached between the studio and Feixun Music, "You at the Same Table" was warmed up on September 5 and officially put on sale on September 8.

Cui Zhengzhi's "Provoking Fire" was actually on the same day!

This new generation idol in the entertainment industry is not an ordinary figure, his father is a famous domestic actor, and his mother is a well-known Korean artist, so he has a wide range of contacts in the circle and many supporters.

The Orange Field Entertainment he signed with is a big company in the industry, with many star idols, and the cooperation with Shonan Satellite TV is extremely close, so he almost wears the same pants.

has connections and background, and is supported by top large companies, and Choi Jung-ji is handsome and fashionable, which is a model of Korean-style small fresh meat that is very popular among young people at the moment, and his wave blog has nearly 10 million fans!

No matter how many real fans or zombie fans there are, in terms of popularity alone, it will definitely crush Lu Chen!

Choi Jung-ji's debut album can be described as attracting much attention.

But colliding with Lu Chen so coincidentally, it would be very intriguing.

You must know that generally speaking, the time between the warm-up and the launch on the Feixun Music website is not too long, three or four days is the best, and five days is OK, and Cui Zhengzhi's publicity started from the 1st!

Zou Bei's album was released yesterday, and Ling Xiaoxiao's album is today.

Everyone present smelled a strong smell of conspiracy, Li Feiyu, Chen Xin and the others couldn't help but show worried looks, and even Li Mubai, who had always been arrogant, straightened his waist and sat up straight.

This Li Sanshao originally came to be familiar, but Lu Chen's album release really has something to do with him.

Because he is the core figure of Lu Chen's fan group, he is an indispensable existence.

It's just that Li Mubai didn't expect to release an album at all, and it involved so many problems.

He couldn't help muttering, "Your circle is really messy." ”

Well, this sentence was also told to him by Lu Chen.

Everyone is not a fool, no one will forget the grievances between Lu Chen and Shonan Satellite TV, to say that it is purely a coincidence, it is really a bit insulting to IQ.

Of course, a behemoth like Shonan Satellite TV may not bother with Lu Chen at all, but Orange Field Entertainment, as a partner, may not, they must be happy to let Cui Zhengzhi step on Lu Chen's position.

However, Ling Xiaoxiao, who had a direct conflict with Lu Chen, did not pose much of a threat, because everyone knew what kind of goods he was, and the quality of the album was estimated to be very high.

Lu Xi analyzed that Ling Xiaoxiao was involved, and nine times out of ten he wanted to take advantage of the situation to hype up.

The four singer-songwriters debuted the album in Feixun Music, which is undoubtedly a good hype hotspot.

Jin Hongwei is a well-known hype king in the industry.

There are wolves in front and tigers in the back, so how should Lu Chen face their challenges?

Everyone's eyes were focused on him.

Lu Chen was surprisingly calm, and said with a smile: "Actually, everyone thinks too seriously about the problem. ”

His smile was still full of confidence.

The first update will be sent first, asking for monthly passes and subscription support, thank you, there will be a second update in the evening! )
