Chapter 168: Thank you, senior
Chen Guodong does not have many fans in the wave blog, only 200,000+, which is considered a small V.
But he is very well-known in the pop music scene, he is a contributor to many music websites and magazines, and he has a wide range of contacts in the circle, so there are many celebrities and industry celebrities who follow each other on the blog.
As soon as this article "The Silent Majority" was released, it received a large number of retweets.
For example, music superstars Tan Hong and Chen Feier, music director Lin Zhijie of Feishi Records, famous artist Zhang Zhirong, and pop radio host Shu Ping have all given positive evaluations, forming a wider influence on the Internet.
On the next day, September 16th, the three words "Lu Chen", "You at the same table" and "Silent Majority" appeared on the homepage hot search list of the Inspur blog at the same time!
There are also many bloggers who post short videos they shoot at the orientation parties of their respective colleges and universities, and the content is basically live videos of student performers playing and singing Lu Chen's album works.
A guitar, a handsome guy, a ballad
Most of these videos were shot with mobile phones, and the picture and sound quality were not good, but the atmosphere was great, which was enough to show the popularity of Lu Chen's original songs among the student group.
People in the industry were shocked to find that "Campus Folk Songs", a folk song category created by Lu Chen, unknowingly had a wide influence with the release of his first album and was recognized by countless young people!
When Lu Chen used "campus folk songs" to promote it, many people scoffed at it, and even denounced it as a grandstanding move that was beyond his strength.
Now it is entirely possible to leave a strong mark on the history of domestic pop music!
Some entertainment record companies are keenly aware of this market and are planning to release works in the same style.
Lu Chen's wave of blog followers surged by hundreds of thousands.
Also on September 16, the sales of "You at the Same Table" exceeded 300,000 on Feixun Music Online!
Glasses shattered all over the place!
You must know that the sales performance of singers' albums on the website is mainly concentrated in the first week, especially the sales in the first three days are the top priority. It will definitely go all the way down, and there will even be a big dive.
The reason is very simple, online piracy will be rampant with the hot sale of albums, and a large number of them appear in post bars, forums and Feixun groups for others to download for free, and it is impossible to curb it.
In such a situation, even if it is the work of a superstar. The downward trend is also irreversible.
"You at the Same Table" was on the shelves of Feixun Music on the 8th, and it has been a full 8 days to the 16th, and the prime sales period has already passed.
But no one expected that this album would sell 50,000 against the trend on September 16, which is unbelievable and jealous - Tai Nima is outrageous!
This miracle once again strongly proves Chen Guodong's assertion that "the silent majority" is true.
Because at this time, there shouldn't be many inherent fans of Lu Chen who bought the album.
And the success of "You at the Table". Lu Chen's originally declining popularity exploded again, and many entertainment brokerage companies and advertisers called or took the initiative to come to the door to contact and cooperate with Lu Chen's studio.
Performances, endorsements, and buying songs have kept Lu Xi busy, and there is no rest on his mobile phone all day long.
Of course, Lu Chen threw all these affairs to his sister.
He believed that his sister would be able to handle it.
As for Lu Chen himself, of course, it is impossible to be idle.
At 1 p.m. on September 17, he went to the Beijing Satellite TV building to participate in the rehearsal of the National Day Gala of Satellite TV.
Beijing Satellite TV basically has four big parties every year. They are the Spring Festival Gala on the first day of the Lunar New Year and the New Year's Eve Gala on December 31. The Taiwan celebration party on June 8 and the National Day party on October 1.
Among them, the Spring Festival Gala and the New Year's Eve Gala have always been the highlight of the satellite TV station, relatively speaking, the scale and investment of the Taiwan Celebration Gala and the National Day Gala are a step behind, and the ratings have not been high.
However, Beijing Satellite TV sits in the capital and has a great influence, even if it is a National Day Gala with low ratings. There are still countless actors and singers who want to stand on its stage with their heads broken, even if they just brush their faces.
Lu Chen's opportunity to come on stage at the National Day Gala of Beijing Satellite TV was originally obtained by him in exchange for a song "Singing While Walking", and after winning the championship of "Sing China", it was even more logical. No one can gossip.
Otherwise, with his identity as an independent new artist and connections in the circle, there is basically no play.
For this National Day Gala, Lu Chen still attaches great importance to it, so he rushed to the satellite TV building in advance.
With the invitation letter and identity card sent by the satellite TV station, Lu Chen passed the security check smoothly and came to the T1 studio hall of Beijing Satellite TV.
Opened just two months ago, the new studio can accommodate 3,000 live audiences at the same time, with a total stage area of 3,500 square meters and advanced decoration, which is one of the best in its industry.
Lu Chen had been here before, and he was familiar with it.
There are already a lot of entertainers in the backstage of the studio hall, and Lu Chen has seen a lot of familiar faces inside, all of whom are famous singers and stars in the circle, and the lineup of this party is undoubtedly quite strong.
At the arrangement of the TV station staff, he sat down in the reserved seat.
Also in the background, the arrangement of the dresser position is very particular, first of all, the top celebrities are not mixed with the big room, they also have an independent VIP small suite available.
The second is the first- and second-tier star idols, occupying the space close to the entrance and exit of the stage and separated by partitions, while the third-, fourth-, fifth, and eighteenth-tier artists are all arranged in a neat and uniform position in the large dressing room.
As for other ordinary entertainers, such as singing and dancing, they can basically only stand in the corner, and even go to the circular corridor outside to wait for preparation, and it is not easy to drink saliva.
Originally, when Lu Chen participated in "Sing China", due to the small number of singers, the backstage seemed very spacious, but now the rehearsal situation of the party is completely different, and it is very lively and crowded.
Television station staff have to hold electronic amplification microphones to shout, otherwise it is difficult to hear the voice clearly.
After Lu Chen sat down, he didn't run around to make a mess for others, took out his mobile phone and played by himself.
He has a very relaxed mentality.
Because today is the first rehearsal, there is no need for makeup and costume change, and it is just a song thing.
"Senior Lu Chen!"
As a result, Lu Chen had just landed on Feixun, and a voice full of surprise came from the side: "You're here!"
Lu Chen couldn't help but turn his head to look, and immediately smiled: "Xiao Chu!"
It was none other than Mu Xiaochu who greeted him!
Mu Xiaochu is a sophomore at the Beijing Foreign Chinese College, only 19 years old this year, and is considered Lu Chen's younger sister.
Don't look at her delicate and flexible shy and shy, she passed all the way in the competition of "Singing China", borrowed a sweet song "Small Town Nocturne", and narrowly defeated Gao Zhanpeng, the challenger of the Bihai home singing area, with a total score of 91.68 points, and won the 5th national top 10 places.
In the final national finals, this girl with a sweet singing voice won the fourth overall score and was signed by Flying Stone Records.
After nearly a month, seeing this beautiful and cute girl like the girl next door again, Lu Chen was also very happy, got up with a smile and asked, "When did you come over?"
Mu Xiaochu pursed his lips and smiled: "I just came over, with Senior Brother Zhang Haohai." ”
Lu Chen only noticed at this time that there was a young man in a black jacket standing next to Mu Xiaochu.
This jacket man is twenty-four or five years old, his height is much worse than Lu Chen, he is handsome and fashionable, and he has that kind of idol temperament, but his expression is a little smiling.
"Brother Zhang"
Lu Chen took the initiative to stretch out his hand to the other party: "It's been a long time, how are you doing?"
Zhang Haohai is also one of the top ten singers in the country of "Sing China", he is a native of Shancheng, a singer in Jingpiao, with strong singing skills and good at dancing, won the third place in the finals, and also signed a contract with Feishi Records.
Lu Chen and Zhang Haohai are not familiar with each other, except for the original competitive relationship, there is no grudge or contradiction between the two, so the slightly hostile attitude of the other party makes Lu Chen a little puzzled.
"Singing China" is over.
"It's okay. ”
Zhang Haohai shook Lu Chen's hand lightly and said, "It's better for you to mix the scenery, it's all out of the album." ”
Lu Chen smiled and said, "It's just luck." ”
Since Zhang Haohai is neither salty nor light, he will not use his hot face to stick to the other party's cold ass.
Mu Xiaochu said very seriously: "Senior Lu Chen, you don't rely on luck, but on strength!"
"I bought several copies of your album and gave it to my classmates, and they all said it was very good, and they all wanted to meet you!"
A shy smile appeared on her face, and she said softly, "When can you invite the senior to have a meal together?"
Zhang Haohai's face turned a little dark.
Lu Chen suddenly understood.
Dare to love Zhang Xiaohai because he has thoughts about Mu Xiaochu, and he is not happy to see the latter take the initiative to come over and get close to him.
He shook his head secretly, but he agreed: "No problem, you have my mobile phone number, you can call me at any time, I will invite your classmates to dinner!"
Mu Xiaochu was pleasantly surprised: "Really?"
Lu Chen nodded seriously: "Of course it's true, as a senior, how can you deceive a junior?"
Mu Xiaochu was amused: "Thank you, senior!"
The two talked and laughed intimately, Zhang Xiaohai finally couldn't stay anymore, and said, "You talk, I'm over." ”
Mu Xiaochu and Lu Chen nodded, and neither spoke.
After Zhang Xiaohai left, the two looked at each other and smiled.
Lu Chen could see that Mu Xiaochu didn't like Zhang Xiaohai, but he just treated him coldly out of politeness.
Mu Xiaochu said: "Thank you, senior. ”
In the same sentence, the meaning of the front and the back are very different.
The first one is delivered, and there will be more in the evening. (To be continued.) )
