1 May 2001.

Imperial folk singer Liu Chen's new album "Youth Years" is officially released. The singers of other record companies are very tacitly avoiding the edge for the time being, even the sweet song princess Liu Rushuang is also very tacitly relinquishing this May to Liu Chen, the king of folk songs.

The release of the album drove two songs that were originally on the song list. "The Story of Time" continued to maintain the first place on the song list, while "You at the Same Table" rose to the third place, temporarily suppressing Liu Rushuang's "Our Love".

Qin Kun's "In the Spring" is still ranked second on the song list, and I have to say that the song Wang Toutiao in the last time and space was really good.

Liu Chen released the album, Huale Records was at full speed, and various sales channels began to distribute goods non-stop. And the audio-visual stores in major cities of the empire also began to put Liu Chen's "Youth" on the shelves, and it was placed in a very conspicuous position.

No one is a fool. Liu Chen's album is synonymous with good 'easy selling' in the hearts of businessmen in these channels.

The major record companies in Beijing are paying attention to the sales volume of Liu Chen's album on the first day, and Shen Qiu and Zhou Wanqing are also paying attention, but they are not so urgent. To put it bluntly, no matter how well Liu Chen's album is bought, it has nothing to do with Shen Qiu.

Shen Qiu just made a phone call to Qin Kun and asked him to tell him about the sales volume of the first day early tomorrow morning.

At eight o'clock the next day, Shen Qiu was sitting in the classroom. The phone in his trouser pocket vibrate. He glanced up at the teacher who was standing on the podium, and then secretly took his phone out.

"The sales volume on the first day came out, and a total of 23,230 tickets were sold across all channels."

After Shen Qiu finished reading, he turned off his mobile phone and continued to class. For him, this number does not mean anything. He just wanted to know.

23,230 copies, yesterday was not the weekend, and sales have not yet reached their peak. Shen Qiu estimated that after a week, it should be no problem for Liu Chen to buy 200,000 copies of "Years of Youth".

"200,000 a week, how can it break one million in a month, it's really platinum!" While listening to the class, Shen Qiu sighed in his heart. Regarding Zhou Wanqing's insistence on fighting Liu Chen, Shen Qiu is a little uncertain now. He didn't know whether Zhou Wanqing's strategy was right or wrong. After all, he was just an otaku in the last time and space, and he was really unfamiliar with these things in the music circle.

The next day, the sales of Liu Chen's new album "Youth Years" reached 25,300 copies.

On the third day, album sales dropped slightly, but there were still 20,335 copies.

At the end of this week, Liu Chen's album titled "Youth Years" finally reached a peak of 28,670 copies. In the first week of the album's release, the total sales volume was 200103, just exceeding 200,000 copies.

2000 to 2001 was not the hottest time for the imperial record industry, and Liu Chen's new album was able to sell in the first week of its release, which can be said to be very awesome.

The major record companies in Beijing were eye-catching for a while at such sales results. And a group of professional music critics also began to write music reviews in major newspapers and magazines, analyzing every song of Liu Chen's album.

With the hot sale of Liu Chen's new album, the top 10 on the song list have changed.

The first place is still "The Story of Time", and the second place is "In the Spring", Wang Toutiao is still strong. The third place became "You at the Same Table", the fourth place "The Brother Who Slept on My Top Bunk", the fifth place "Don't Come to Pester Me", the sixth place "Youth Years", the seventh place "No Place to Be Ashamed", the eighth place "Campus Love", the ninth place "Our Love", and the tenth place "Paper Planes".

Among the top ten on the song list, Liu Chen occupied six places, and the originally strong Princess Tiange was squeezed to the ninth place.

To the surprise of many record companies and critics, the two songs "In the Spring" and "Don't Come to Pester Me" by the Storm still occupy the top two positions on the song list. Not only that, they released a new song "No Place to Be Proud", which only took a week to rush to the seventh place on the song list.

After the top 10 rankings on the song list came out this week, many people once again looked sideways at the Storm Band.

"This band that wasn't famous in the first place is pretty awesome!"

"Liu Chen released a new album, and the Storm Band released a new song, is this to compete with the king of folk songs? Where did they get the confidence? ”

"Not to mention, I've listened to the three songs of the Storm Band, it's really good, no wonder I can suppress Princess Sweet Song?"

The pace of time does not stand still, it keeps moving forward. In the third week of May, the total sales of Liu Chen's "Youth Years" reached 900,000 copies, and it must be no problem for this album to break platinum.

But on the song list, "Spring", "Don't Come to Entangle Me" and "No Place to Be Ashamed" are like three pieces of kraft candy that firmly occupy the second, fourth and fifth positions on the song list.

No matter how popular your folk king's album is, I will stand still. Even the princess of sweet songs in the top ten of the song list has been squeezed down, but the three songs of the Storm Band are as steady as a rock. Although it did not rush to the first place, it always remained in the top five.

At this time, Storm Music Studios announced that the band will release their own album, "Rock and Roll New Forces", in the last week of May, which is next week.

As soon as this news was released, the industry was completely boiling.

Beijing Huale Record Company, General Manager's Office. Liu Chen, the king of folk songs, and Huang Weichen, the boss of Huale, were sitting on the sofa, and the two were chatting.

"What does this Storm Band mean? Can't wait another week for a new album to be released? It has to be released in the last week of May, this is to show that the carriage and horses are going to snipe you, Lao Liu. Huang Weichen, the boss of Huale, lit a cigarette and said to Liu Chen.

"Humph!" Liu Chen snorted coldly with an unhappy face, it was because of the three songs of the Storm Band, and the director failed to dominate the song list, which was simply a shame in Liu Chen's career. "Just them? These people also want to be famous and want to go crazy? Tell me? Do they have the strength? ”

"Lao Liu, you can't underestimate the enemy!" Huang Weichen took a puff of cigarette and said, "I took a look, and the three songs of the Storm Band seem to have been written by that person named Shen Qiu. Aren't your three songs "The Story of Time", "You at the Same Table" and "The Brother Who Sleeps on My Top Bunk" also written by this person? ”

Liu Chen nodded, and said with a disdainful expression: "It was introduced by a teacher from the Conservatory of Music, and I bought it when I saw that the song was good, but I didn't expect them to be so ignorant?" ”

"I think it was a woman who came to sell songs, right?"

"That's right. As for Zhou Wanqing, she said that she was Shen Qiu's agent. ”

Huang Weichen frowned and said, "But this Shen Qiu is also quite talented, the six songs he wrote, three ballads, and three rock songs, I listened to them, and they were really good." Lao Liu, can you contact this person, is it possible to bring us to our company? ”

Shen Qiu has already begun to be noticed by the bigwigs in the imperial music circle.
