Chapter 280: The Whole Country Sings "Ten Years" on Valentine's Day
February 14, 1998, the eighteenth day of the first lunar month, Valentine's Day in the West.
Xiao Wu runs a small audio and video store.
After the New Year, it's time to go to the stock.
In recent years, due to the emergence of VCD, the traditional tape has gradually declined.
Xiao Wu is a very discerning little boss who has discovered this phenomenon, so when the purchase is made, VCD discs have accounted for more than ninety percent of the purchase.
As soon as Xiao Wu came to the audio-visual wholesale department, he was deeply attracted by a song:
"If those two words hadn't trembled, I wouldn't have found me uncomfortable, and how to say it would have been a breakup, if there was no requirement for tomorrow......
I didn't know you ten years ago, you don't belong to me......
Ten years later, we are friends and we can still say hello......
Not for you, for others"
After listening to it, Xiao Wu cried because when he listened to this song, he thought of his first love when he was in high school ten years ago.
Ten years on, what is she doing now? Does she remember herself ten years ago?
Then he thought about his wife, who had just been married.
Ten years later, does my wife still love herself?
Subsequently, his professional sense of smell told him that this song would definitely be a hit this year, and it might even be a mess.
So, he hurriedly ran towards the audio-visual wholesale department, but he didn't expect that the wholesale department, which had been very deserted, was jammed with people who came to buy today.
I finally squeezed in, but found that everyone was entering a VCD disc, the name of the disc is "Ten Years", the subtitle is "Dedicated to That Poetic Girl", and the singer's name is "Li Moran", a very, very unfamiliar name in the music industry.
But this name is very familiar in Xiao Wu's heart, because he has read two books, "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" and "Back to the Ming Dynasty as a Prince", the author's name is Li Moran.
Could it be that the Li Moran who wrote the book is the Li Moran of this album?
At this time, in the speakers of the audio-visual wholesale department, another song echoed:
"After a whole summer, the sadness is not better, driving on the endless highway and feeling like leaving yourself......
I still remember the tears that slipped from your eyes, the heartbreak, the confusion, the illusion of tears burning, the horizon of dusk severing, happiness, joy, love, disillusionment"
Listening to it, Xiao Wu felt like he was going to cry again, obviously, listening to this voice, it should be the same person as the song just now.
Looking back at everyone, while being stunned, it was even more crazy to grab the VCD disc.
"Boss, what's the album for this song called? Give me a hundred, no, two hundred. Xiao Wu gritted his teeth and shouted at the boss very arrogantly.
The people around looked at Xiao Wu like idiots, and then they all began to ask the boss to count the CDs and quickly pack them.
At this moment, several large boxes of the same disc were all snatched up.
The boss wiped the sweat on his face, but he seemed to be in a very good mood, and after hearing Xiao Wu's words, he spread his hands and said: "You see, it's this album, and the five thousand plates that just came in through the channel today have all been sold out." ”
Only then did Xiao Wu know why so many people grabbed this CD, it turned out that the people who opened the video store were not rice buckets.
Now Xiao Wu is in a hurry, and begging the boss if he has it, even if he gives him fifty plates, even if twenty plates are successful, the price is easy to say.
The boss shook his head helplessly and said that the disc was gone, and there were still dozens of tapes.
Xiao Wu hesitated, a song like this, the tape will definitely be bought, but there is definitely no disc to eat.
Just then, another song sounded:
"I can't forget how long I haven't heard you tell me your favorite story, I thought about it for a long time, I started to panic, did I do something wrong again, you cried and told me, fairy tales are all lies......
I want to become the angel you love in fairy tales, open your hands and become wings to protect you, you have to believe that we will be like the fairy tales where happiness and joy are the ends."
After Xiao Wu listened to it, he was not calm, because he heard that this third song was still the same as the first two, from the same singer.
"Boss, I want all the rest of your tapes." Xiao Wu waved his hand.
Fortunately, he made a decisive move, otherwise he wouldn't even be able to grab these nearly 100 tapes.
Because it didn't take long for many owners of small audio-visual stores to come in, and there were even retail customers who only bought one plate, and the price doubled, but it was out of stock, and there was no way.
What surprised Xiao Wu the most was that the owner of a small shop who came to meet first came back again, and when he saw that the disc was gone, he asked if the tape was still there, and saw that there was nothing, so he went out in disappointment.
Xiao Wu hugged the boxed tape and asked why the man had come back.
The man sighed and said, "With fifty discs, before they arrived in my store, they were already snatched up, and the price has increased several times." ”
Speaking of this, he regretted it to death, he was the first to come to this wholesale department, there were still many Li Moran's albums at that time, at that time he felt that he had never heard the name of this singer, although the song was very good, but he was afraid that it would not sell well, so he only entered fifty plates, but who knows, it is so popular.
Xiao Wu held the box and went to several audio-visual wholesale stores, and found that Li Moran's albums had been sold out.
At this time, all kinds of shops in the streets and alleys were showing songs from Li Moran's album such as "Ten Years", "Dusk", "Fairy Tale", "Single Love Song" and so on.
After waiting for him for more than an hour, when he returned to his small shop, he saw that there were a lot of customers coming in and out of the shop, but those who went in shook their heads in disappointment and then walked out again.
As soon as his wife saw her husband coming back with the box, she hurriedly asked, "Do you have an album of Li Moran?" ”
"The discs are gone, only the tapes, and this box is all there." Xiao Wu replied.
After the surrounding customers heard Xiao Wu's words, they all gathered around at once, only to listen to their gossiping:
"That's it, that's it!"
"Yes, yes, yes! It's this Li Insan's singing. ”
"Yes, the album is called "Ten Years"."
"Boss, bring me a plate."
"Bring me five plates."
"Ten plates."
…
Eighty tapes, the price of which was five times the purchase price, were sold out in less than five minutes.
Fortunately, Xiao Wu's wife was very eye-catching, and the moment she opened the box, she took out two plates first, otherwise there would not even be a sample in the store.
Such scenes are staged in different forms in video stores in every large, medium and small city in China.
By the afternoon of Valentine's Day, the name Li Moran was already well known to everyone who loved songs.
And the Valentine's Day gift turned out to be a CD or tape of Qianlu "Ten Years", and the girl who received the album not only did not feel bad about the gift, but felt that her boyfriend knew herself too well and loved herself.
A "Ten Years", I don't know how many girls have dedicated themselves to their boyfriends who gave their albums on the night of Valentine's Day.
I don't know how many single young men and women burst into tears when they listen to "Single Love Song".
I don't know how many people with stories, facing the half-round moon, crying when they listen to "The Trouble of the Moon".
At the same time, I don't know how many people who have just broken up or have broken up for a long time, but have no boyfriend and girlfriend, listen to "How Much Love Can Be Renewed", and keep asking themselves: Love, can it really be done again?
The girl and Xiaofen held hands, walked on the bustling street on the afternoon of Valentine's Day, listened to the "Ten Years" played throughout the city, cried enough and laughed enough.
Listening to the whole city singing "Ten Years" for her, she was drunk, and she knew that this was the best Valentine's Day gift for her little brother Mo.
Xiaofen looked at the girl who was crying and laughing, and then listened to the city's "Ten Years", I don't know why, she was very, very envious of the girl.
Although the girl didn't say it, she knew this Li Moran, the girl must know, and she had an extraordinary relationship with the girl, if Xiaofen guessed correctly, this album, especially the song "Ten Years", was written and sung especially for girls.
Because, the girl's favorite thing to listen to is the song "Ten Years".
Think about the phrase "girl like poetry" in the album, isn't it talking about girls?
Girl, indeed, is as pure as poetry, as ethereal as poetry.
When "Ten Years" swept through China, the editors of the music sections of major newspapers were also crazy, and the few websites that were there at this time were also crazy.
The reason for the madness is that Li Moran, who released the album, is not the Li Moran who wrote the book?
Is Li Moran old or young? Is it tall or short? Is it fat or thin?
When other singers release albums, they either develop a development conference or release a poster, trying their best to show their faces.
But this Li is indifferent, as if he is afraid that others will know what he looks like.
The phone of "Mo Ran Media Company" was blown up, and even the phone of "Mo Ran Literature and Art Publishing House" was also blown up.
Although I can't know what kind of person Li Moran is, I still confirmed one thing, that is, Li Moran, who wrote the book, and Li Moran, who released the album, are the same person.
After the news was published on the large pages of the major newspapers the next day, the whole of China was in an uproar.
This Li Moran is too good, right?
The first time I wrote a book, the book was a big seller, and the first time I released an album, the album was robbed like crazy, who is this demon?
The sales volume of the album on the first day of release has been counted, and it sold 5 million copies, 5 million in one day! What is this concept?
Both the popular and not-popular singers were dumbfounded and jealous.
I'm a king and diva-level singer, and I have released a total of millions to tens of millions of albums, this Li Moran, who has never heard of it, released an album, and sold five million copies on the first day, does this still make people live?
Shangguan Feige, chairman of the board of directors of "Indifferent Media Company", was also dumbfounded when he saw this statistical data.
Look back and think about what the boy said to him: "Sister Pigeon! You can rest assured that within two years, our company will definitely become the most influential media company in Asia. ”
It seems that he really got it right.
Shangguan Feige shook his head and handed over the follow-up to Li Moran's album to his deputy, but she set out to create a second signed singer Sula.
In a few days, the "Young Singer Grand Prix" will be recorded.
