Chapter 149: Unwilling to be the Queen
As the head of the content department of Weige, although it is the eleventh holiday, Li Cang can't completely put aside his work.
When he woke up early in the morning and finished washing, he habitually turned on the computer, boarded Weige, and entered the staff backstage as usual.
During the long holiday, most people were able to relax, but the number of singers who released albums did not decrease but increased, and as soon as he opened the backstage, seven album release messages popped up.
One by one, some have opened pre-sales, and some have officially released albums, among which there are two singers worth paying attention to.
One is the quasi-platinum singer Cheng Yi, whose last album "A Dream of Huangliang" sold a total of 480,000 sales on Weige, and it is conservatively estimated that it has sold 1.2 or 300 million on the four major channels. However, because the sales time is too long, it only exceeded one million in nearly eleven months, far exceeding the industry's default three-month period, and can only be regarded as a quasi-platinum.
One is Ding Ning, a folk song newcomer who had a surprising pre-sale result before, with a pre-sale volume of nearly 90,000 a week, which is not easy for a newcomer, not to mention that he is still a folk singer.
Cheng Yi and Ding Ning both officially released new albums, and singers of Cheng Yi's weight must be promoted.
Li Cang switched to the homepage and looked at it, and finally removed the promotion of Sun Xi's new album, which had occupied the homepage for a month, and replaced it with Cheng Yi's.
As for Ding Ning, whether he wants to give publicity or not, Li Cang is not sure.
After all, Weige is so big in a few places, and it can't accommodate many publicity positions, and now it occupies some platinum-level bigwigs, and it is really difficult to make a place for a newcomer like Ding Ning to sing folk songs.
However, I personally like Ding Ning's "On the Shore of Lake Baikal", and the pre-sale results of "Seed" are good. Li Cang decided to listen to Ding Ning's level of the entire album first.
Open the "Seed" album, a full 15 songs. Li Cang was also quite emotional.
Most of today's singers can't settle down to make music. As I did it, I made music a side hustle, and various commercial activities were endless, and the songs in an album became less and less, and they were almost made into the previous EP discs.
15 songs, for most well-known singers, are enough for one and a half albums, but the price remains the same. It is also 25 yuan for the public, kind.
Of course, Ding Ning is a newcomer, so he can't be kind.
glanced at the title of the song, there are a lot of special ones, Li Cang easily pointed to the longest name "Basking in the Sun with Grandma in Winter", this name is really enough for a folk song.
"Ouch, interesting."
As soon as the brisk prelude came out, Li Cang couldn't help laughing.
It's a really interesting prelude. actually used the sound of rural people sifting rice with rice, which suddenly brought his thoughts back to his distant childhood.
The sun was gentle and gentle, and the grandmother in a black and gray cotton dress was slightly bent over. Squinting, holding a rice sieve, standing in front of the door. Tumbling up and down the rice sieve sifting rice.
Every time she tossed the rice sieve, the wrinkles on her face would tremble slightly. The fluttering rice bran also floated up. Mixed in with the sun, like a piece of gold.
He could even faintly smell the delicious smell of rice bran after it was shaken, it was a slightly rough and reassuring smell.
Now, the vast majority of people can't smell it anymore.
What's even more interesting is that the rhythm of this prelude is still the popular ballroom dance tune in previous years.
Jumping, jumping, making his feet start to shake.
"Not bad, not bad."
After the prelude, as soon as Ding Ning's somewhat lazy singing voice came out, Li Cang lay down on the chair and stretched his waist.
From Ding Ning's singing, he could feel a comfortable and lazy feeling that was very consistent with the title of the song.
And this word also has a very simple and straightforward sense of picture.
"In the winter with my grandmother in the sun, a sparrow sneaked up on my house."
"The neighbor's dog is barking, I'm lazy, I'm warm."
Very interesting words, that lazy and warm atmosphere, is really blowing in the face, refreshing, and I have a good mood in the morning.
Shaking his legs to listen to the whole song, Li Cang didn't say a word, and gave a thumbs up.
Rating, 10 points, I didn't say anything.
Not to mention that this song is especially to his taste, such an ideological ballad, he has heard it for the first time in so many years in the music industry.
Is this guy really 20 years old?
Li Cang glanced at Ding Ning's information, and then looked at the lyrics and songs of this song, and felt incredible.
Sure enough, there are talents in the country, and the Chinese music scene can have such flowers and flowers competing for beauty as it is now, and it is really a loss that there are always so many imaginative young people who stand up.
As for the old guys, it's a blessing to be able to eat the old book to maintain the level when they were young, but what they are afraid of is that they will retreat thousands of miles, and in the end, they don't even know when they will drown in the ocean of the music scene.
Immediately afterwards, Li Cang played "I Ate Fried Chicken in People's Square".
Speaking of this song, he has heard it for a long time, but every time he is amway, he has no time, and when he has time, he has already forgotten it completely, and today is a coincidence.
The melody is not as amazing as "Basking in the Sun with Grandma in Winter", and the lyrics of the main song are also decent, but when he heard the climax, he understood why everyone said that this song was fun.
In the rules and regulations, such an unexpected word suddenly came out, which is indeed a bit of a genius.
But it wasn't that brilliant, at least it was worse than he expected.
For the sake of still having a little idea, a thumbs up is a must, with a rating of 8.8, which is auspicious and pleasing to the eye.
Immediately, Li Cang continued to listen to a few more songs.
are all works above the level, and each one has something to praise and remarkable.
Like the long-cherished "When I Was Old", the "Walk" containing the philosophy of life, and the excellent arrangement of "Life Like a Summer Flower", in his mind, they are all masterpieces with more than 9 points.
Coupled with the previous hit "Those Flowers", and "On the Shore of Lake Baikal", which has become more and more strong in playback recently, and has hit the sixteenth place on the free new song weekly list, this album, Li Cang's overall evaluation is 8.99999 points, which cannot be less.
Of course, this is just based on his personal taste, young people nowadays don't like to listen to folk songs very much, and he can only score 7.5 points to evaluate this album based on market conditions, especially the overall preferences of Weige listeners, and he can't do more.
7.5 points, in the end, it is lower, whether to give Ding Ning a position on this album, Li Cang is very hesitant.
However, in the face of this dilemma, Li Cang is very experienced.
If you can't make up your mind, let's see what your competitors do first.
Just do it when you think of it, Li Cang first looked at Suile, good guy, the first big picture on the homepage, and was stunned to pull a short man out in front of several generals.
It's understandable, after all, nearly half of the sales of "Seeds" are on Suile, and it is estimated that they are looking forward to Ding Ning.
Then there is Yiwang Cloud Music, the first of the new special topics is Ding Ning, which is also a very important position.
Then I listened to it, and there was no surprise, this editor had a relatively fresh taste, and also ranked "Seed" in the first place in the very conspicuous column and chart push.
The three competitors all support Ding Ning so strongly, which can be regarded as a good reputation, Li Cang, of course, is unwilling, and directly made a phone call to the design of the logistics department: "Xiao Lu, you can make a puzzle for me with the album cover of Cheng Yi and Ding Ning that just appeared today." ”
"Yes, the slash is divided, and it is done and passed to me."
"No more requests... Yes, yes, Ding Ning's album cover is on it. ”
"Yes, it's Ding Ning's on it." (To be continued......)
