Chapter 447: Radio Charts
Chu Moer's third solo album release conference was full of stars.
Chu Moer, Song Yan, Qin Shiyue, needless to say, international rock queen Merina also came to the scene.
But the final focus of the press conference is still Ye Luo.
Ye Sanwen reappeared in the rivers and lakes, and in the face of questions from many reporters, Ye Luo only answered three questions.
For the first time, there were no reporters at the press conference who asked hard questions. Now that Ye Luo is in the domestic music circle, he is regarded as a god by everyone, and the so-called question is actually a disguised praise.
The first question, Love Journey is so popular, is there a second season?
Of course there is no, the music album Ye Luo will be handed over to Yu Yiyi to do, and Ye Luo also held Yu Yiyi in his hand.
The second question, after the journey of love, will Chu Moer's personal record be released again?
Of course, it will continue to be released, but it will not be very frequent, because Chu Moer is going to study for a doctorate in vocal music.
The third question is how Ye Luo is developing in the United States.
"One qiē is going according to plan." Ye Luo smiled slightly, "It's very smooth, I believe that it won't be long before domestic music fans will be able to see the movement." ”
In the face of Ye Luo's answer, no one will doubt it, because in their minds, Ye Luo is the strongest in China when making music, which has been proven again and again, there is no doubt.
Ye Luo is in the United States, and it will definitely succeed, this is the consensus of everyone on the scene.
Almost at the same time, Los Angeles time local evening, Los Angeles Music Radio, the title song of Marina's new album, began to hit the charts.
Album releases in the United States generally follow the market ladder, first the city-level music market, then the state level, and then cross-state. Nationwide again.
In the operation of the small market at the municipal level, there are not many means of publicity. First there was the press conference, then the recommendation of the record store owner in the store, as well as the billboards in the city and some advertisements for local TV stations.
Among them, the most immediate publicity effect is the radio list.
A local music station in Los Angeles that updates its charts weekly. Make a top-to-bottom list of the current records in the local market for music fans' reference. This kind of listing is very objective, and is not determined by fan votes or personal preferences of the streamer, but is supported by a strict number of sales.
Radio charts in the United States are like a booster for good records, and with its boost, records can quickly polarize. If good songs are ranked high, sales will continue to grow rapidly. Then it was immediately favored by a higher-level record company and put into a larger market.
Merina's record was released yesterday and is officially on sale.
However, Merina is not an ordinary person, she is a co-singer of the parent record giant Liyin, and her own appeal is very strong, so in fact, Merina does not need to participate in the local radio charts in Los Angeles at all.
Her discography. can directly be on the national list, and the market is also facing the national start. If the sales are good, it will be promoted all over the world, and the city-level and state-level music market, with the status of Merina today, will not be bothered at all.
She participated in the Los Angeles Music Radio chart, in fact, to make the small label of Universal Overseas outstanding. For Ye Luo's first album, play a front station.
Of course, with Marina's appeal, if her single is on the Los Angeles radio charts, it will be adults bullying children. Sales have long been out of the blue.
……
At eight o'clock in the evening in Los Angeles time, the lights were bright on the radio and television company.
The studio of the music radio station is actually located on the thirteenth floor of the building, but this number is taboo here, so the floor number is fourteen.
Jones, the anchor of the local music chart, with headphones and a microphone, glanced at the commentator sitting across from him.
In this issue of the list, the guest invited is the vice president of the Los Angeles Music Association, Paul. Williams, who is also the music director of a mid-label label in California.
He is also one of the regular guests of Los Angeles Music Radio.
The singles on this chart, which is actually the title song of each record, Paul listened to it all afternoon, and it was almost now, he looked up and nodded to Jones, signaling that he was ready.
"Okay, welcome to the Los Angeles Music Radio pop chart, in this issue, we will take you on a wonderful musical journey as always." After Jones' in-headset guide confirmed, he spoke into the microphone and began his opening remarks.
"First of all, let's listen to the number one on this list. To be honest, I was very surprised that the name was here, Marina. Simeone, if I'm not mistaken, the last time she hit the Los Angeles Music Radio charts was five years ago. ”
"This may have something to do with her changing production company, and this record of hers, the production company is not her private company, but from China Global Overseas." Paul was a connoisseur, and he saw the problem at a glance and took it slowly.
"Okay, let's listen to the number one song on this issue's chart, Marina, Fighter."
The radio station hits the charts, because to prevent piracy after recording, the singer will say something at the beginning of the song, basically introducing himself to the song and the record.
Marina's "Fighter" is no exception, and during the song's prelude, Marina has a quote:
"I am very grateful to the producer of this album, Mr. Ye Luo from China, and this song is his composition. Next week, Universal Overseas will release another album produced by Mr. Ye Luo himself, and you can look forward to it, and you will not be disappointed. ”
When the song was finished, Jones immediately said, "Wow, I didn't expect that Marina would have such a high regard for a musician from China."
I believe that the name Ye Luo is not unfamiliar to music fans in Los Angeles, and his deeds have been reported in the newspapers for several weeks before.
In faraway China, he is known as the king of pop music, and his music section on a Chinese video website has surpassed two billion total views.
Oh my God, two billion, that's an exaggeration, Paul, what do you think? ”
"I think it has something to do with China's population base." Paul replied lightly, "There are too many Chinese, and in their country, no matter what kind of numbers appear, it is not surprising.
In last year's NBA All-Star Game, a Chinese player who couldn't play in the NBA rotation became the All-Star vote king, which can explain a lot.
I read the newspaper, this Mr. Ye Luo, in China's music zone, all the music on it is free, it is a relatively low-end online music market, plus there are many Chinese people, so the figure of two billion, although it sounds incredible, we still have to look at it rationally. ”
"In other words, you don't think much of this musician from China." Jones asked.
"Yes." "The music market in the United States is completely different from the music market in China, and the quality of our music is the highest in the world.
In China, Mr. Ye Luo's main business is the lowest-end online market, which is difficult to convince me to believe that he will succeed here. ”
"But this song by Merina, very good, Paul, how do you explain that?"
"Marina......" Paul said, pausing as if to organize the wording, and then continued, "She has very thin Chinese blood, but she has a very strong Chinese complex. It wasn't a problem, but as a singer, she's putting too much effort into China, and it's actually getting in the way of her career.
We know that last year's Grammy for Best Female Singer, Merina was not selected. In fact, with her talent, she can completely overwhelm the Englishman Sharon. Quinn. But last year she spent too much time in China, which made her influential in the international music scene greatly diminished.
I regret this very much, because I admire Marina.
She is a talented singer, and this song "Fighter" is very suitable for her own timbre.
I don't deny the excellence of this song, but with my professional experience, working with a singer-songwriter like Marina, the music producer is actually very worry-free, and many details will be perfected by the singer himself.
So objectively speaking, although this song is good, it doesn't prove anything.
Because Ye Luo's collaborator is Merina, she is so good. ”
"Paul, I think you convinced me." Anchor Jones smiled, "It seems that I still need to wait and see for a while for this Mr. Ye Luo from China."
However, I still want to reiterate to you that this week's champion song is really great.
Well, let's listen to this week's runner-up single......" (to be continued......
