Chapter 451: A blockbuster
Los Angeles Radio and Television Building, fourteenth floor, earlier in the day.
"Jones, today's guest, as is customary, is Rock Lee." The choreographer of the music chart communicated with the anchor, "Do you call or me to confirm the invitation?" β
"Nope." Jones looked at the Chinese case and smiled slightly, "I won't invite Li Luo today." β
"Why?"
"Because of this ......," Jones raised the text in his hand and said with a smile, "Let's invite Paul over, I think it will be interesting tonight, I'll call." β
βokγβ
β¦β¦
Because it was a short notice, he was still in Houston, and a singer in his record company had a small concert tomorrow in Space City, USA.
After receiving Jones's call, Paul drove back and sat in the studio, it was already past seven o'clock in the evening, the show was about to start, and Paul didn't have time to listen to the songs on the charts.
However, as a middle-label music producer, Paul feels that as long as he listens to the show in passing, the reviews will not be far from ten, and there is no big problem.
Before the show started, Jones reminded him: "Among today's albums on the list, there is an album of Ye Luo, do you want to listen to it beforehand?" β
"Leaf Fall?" Paul was stunned for a moment, then finally remembered who this man was.
In order to be as objective as possible when commenting, the guests invited by Los Angeles Music Radio are not local musicians in Los Angeles.
For example, Paul's record company headquarters is in San Francisco, so he is not very familiar with Ye Luo, although he talked about it in the last show, but he was not impressed, and the last time he talked about it. It's more that he's waving on the spot.
"The Chinese who hugged Marina's thigh, right?" Paul smiled faintly, "Forget it, it's almost time, let's start first, and I'll listen to it on the show." β
Jones glanced at Paul. I sighed in my heart: I can't save you.
At 8 p.m. Los Angeles time, the show officially began.
As usual, Jones opened the remarks and then said, "The music market in Los Angeles is buoyant this week, with 36 new records coming out this week, which is much higher than usual.
We only take the top 20 albums sold in the market in less than a month, and of those 20 seats, this week's new albums account for the majority of the market.
For this phenomenon. Paul, do you have any interpretations? β
"I think it has something to do with Marina's new album, after all, Marina's new song is on the local radio charts in Los Angeles, which is a rare spectacle that will inevitably attract the attention of music fans and record companies across the country and even around the world.
Since so many people are paying attention to Marina, the records that are on the list at the same time as Marina will naturally get more attention.
So, the record label in Los Angeles. They are all releasing new albums this week, just to seize the opportunity to be on the same chart as Marina. β
Paul's interpretation. But it hit the nail on the head.
Jones nodded, and then said: "But if you want to be on the same chart as Marina, the quality of your own music should be very good, otherwise it will be a humiliation, presumably these new records are also the masterpieces of local record companies this year."
Good. Let's start with the number one singles on this week's chart.
This week's number one single is still Marina's "Fighter", the album's eponymous record, which is currently selling nearly one million copies in Los Angeles. It's an incredible number of jΓΉ. Los Angeles has a population of 20 million, that is, one out of every twenty people, who buys this record. β
"Yes." "In other words, one out of every seven families has the album playing on the stereo. This market share is so amazing that it deserves to be Merina. β
"Okay, let's take a look at this week's number one single, "Fighter" again.
After the number one single, Paul introduced this week's runner-up single. The record on which this single is located has sold 300,000 copies this month, which is also a very good result, and it comes from a country band from Garbo Records.
In the back garden, dinner is coming to an end, and everyone is sitting around the campfire, drinking, chatting, and listening to the Los Angeles music charts.
At this time, this week's runner-up single was playing in the stereo, and Ye Luo listened to it and felt that it was really good. In particular, the voice of the lead singer of this band is charming.
Song Yan's face was not very good at this time, and she said: "This band was dug up by Uncle Chen in a bar in Los Angeles last year, and it took a lot of effort to package and promote it.
They are very talented, especially this lead singer, who can double as a producer. Last year, they were in the Universal, and the records sold well, and on a few occasions they were almost favored by the record companies of the Chinese label.
Unexpectedly, after they became famous, they were poached by Garbo at a high price. β
"Huh." Ye Luo said with a smile, "Garbo's bosses are all singing here, you are a little bigger, although David, this young man is not calm enough, but he is still a good person." His company's results are not a bad thing for us. β
"Hmm." Song Yan nodded and said, "I don't know how many we can rank this time." β
"It's only been three days, and I've just been on the list, it doesn't matter how many places I have, just don't get too far behind." Ye Luo smiled faintly.
After a few words between the two of them, the radio army was introduced.
The third-place single in this issue is a song sung by a male singer, singing jazz.
The album has sold 200,000 copies this month, but according to the introduction of the radio anchor, this record has been in the business for a month, and this is the last time it will be on the list, stopping at third place.
"It's a bit embarrassing." Song Yan said, "Generally speaking, the middle label in the state market will only be interested in the monthly champion and runner-up albums in the municipal market, but the local market in Los Angeles is larger than the general municipal market, so the third place can be up or down, it's not easy to say." β
"200,000 tickets, the results are actually okay." "The chances are still not small. β
"It turns out that 200,000 tickets have a chance." Ye Luo smiled, "I thought it would cost a million anyway." β
"You're going crazy." Merina gave a blank look. "The sales volume exceeded one million in the municipal market, which is the rhythm of the parent record company, and after half a year, it will definitely be promoted all over the world."
"Congratulations to Sister Mai." Ye Luo smiled slightly.
"What's there to congratulate, I'm at this level." Merina smiled faintly, "But in less than ten days, there are a million of them." This is a personal record. Ye Luo, you have a lot of credit this time. β
"Help each other." Ye Luo smiled and touched the wine glass with Marina.
In the stereo next to the courtyard, at this time, the anchor Jones said: "Okay, the first three singles of the week and the album they are on have been introduced."
Below, I'm going to mention this album, which is my personal favorite recently.
This new album will last only three days. Sales have reached 80,000 copies.
If purely based on sales, 80,000 copies can only rank seventh in this issue, but the directors of our show, after listening to this record, unanimously agreed to make an exception and raise this record to fourth place.
Moreover, this record sold 80,000 copies in three days, mainly due to the size of its industry, and the company has only made a total of 80,000 copies so far. It was snapped up as soon as it came out. So, the market potential of this record. It's huge, and that's an important reason why we made this exception.
So, who is the company and the person who made this record? Let's keep it a secret for now, but let's listen to the second title track of this album first. β
"Why not the number one title song?" Paul asked.
"Hehe, because it's just the second title song, it's good enough." Jones laughed. "The first title song, let's buy the record and enjoy it."
After Jones said this, he began to play the second title song of the album.
As soon as the prelude to the song came out, Ye Luo laughed, sure enough. This is the second title track on Angel Boy's "my1over" album.
This song is different from the arrangement style of "my1over", with some more electronic elements.
The first line of the opening line: "as1ongas lure 1oveme." As long as you love me. β
"a1though1one1inesshasa1aysbeenaf day endof fan ne,

Song title: "as1ongas lure 1oveme".
"I'm going to give you some time to rejuvenate from this wonderful work." After Jones finished playing the song, he waited a little longer before he said, "Paul, what do you think of this work?" β
"It's a masterpiece." Paul's voice came from the stereo, full of excitement, "I don't know why such a work can only be the second title track on the album." It's completely counterintuitive, the song is so good, I can't imagine the level of production of this album.
There are six or seven boy groups that are popular in the American market, but this song, I think, is enough to make this new boy group invincible among similar groups.
This song, with my professional appreciation, I think it will soon be heard by the whole world. β
"Yes, I agree with you. This new combination, called Angel Boys, is bound to take the world by storm. Jones said, "But Paul, guess what's behind this album?" β
"I can't think of anyone else in Los Angeles who can reach this level of quality other than Marina's private studio." Paul's voice was a little hesitant, "But Merina has just released a new album, and it seems impossible." β
"The company that produces this record is Global Overseas, and the people who make it are Ye Luo." Jones revealed the answer.
"Oh my God." Paul smiled bitterly, "I really want to take a time machine now, go back to a week ago, and repeat the words and words of Mr. Ye Luo in the show." β
"Paul, your attitude has changed too quickly, has it?" Jones laughed, "I think there is still a possibility that Ye Luo accepted the technical guidance of Merina when he was making this album. β
"Impossible." Paul said, "I'm a musician, and I know Merina too well. She's good at rock and folk, this kind of pop and electronic music combination arrangement, and it's an arrangement of this level, which Merina can't do.
Mr. Yeluo, if you're listening to this show, please accept me.
Oh no, that's not sincere enough, Jones, do you have Mr. Yeluo's phone number? β
"I don't have Mr. Ye Luo's number, but I have the contact phone number of Global Overseas."
"Please hurry up and sue me, I want to come to the door to apologize." (To be continued!)
