Chapter 158: Song Review
After the first day of sales frenziedly, the album's sales still did not exceed the sales of the first day, even though it was a rest day next. The total sales of Wang Luo's new album in the first week were eight million, of which nearly five million were on the first day.
This data is somewhat unpredictable, and the gap between the front and back is too big. After the first week passed, album sales began to decline gradually, coupled with the impact of the Chinese New Year, as of a month after the release of the new album, Wang Luo's total sales of his second album had just exceeded 10 million, and finally failed to break the record set by the first album.
And the situation on Liu Zixiao's side really scared Wang Luo, and in a month, the sales of Liu Zixiao's first album after his comeback have surpassed Wang Luo, reaching 11 million copies, becoming the No. 1 selling album of the year.
This result also made Wang Luo secretly sigh that although Liu Zixiao has retired from the music scene for several years, his influence is still there, and the background is still there. It's far from something that a newcomer can challenge.
For this result, Wang Luo was not disappointed, and the sales of 10 million copies were already beyond the reach of many people. Even Liu Zixiao is incomparable in the same period.
When the sales of Wang Luo and Liu Zixiao's new album were posted, there was a large-scale discussion on the Internet. Wang Luo lost to Liu Zixiao in the sales war, it stands to reason that it should be very normal, one is a diva who has been famous for a long time, and the other is a new genius, and it is normal for newcomers to be better than old people.
Besides, Wang Luo's sales are really not low, although he did not surpass the first album, but what is the concept of 10 million? This is already the point where only superstars can go. A newcomer can wrestle with a diva-level figure, and he only failed by a slight disadvantage of one million, and in everyone's eyes, Wang Luo is undoubtedly successful.
It's just that this result seems to be a little unacceptable to Wang Luo's iron fans. They started discussing the question on online forums and looked for what seemed to be the real answer.
In one of the most influential music forums in China, a new album review titled Wang Luo and Liu Zixiao.
The initiator of this post is a netizen whose name is Listener, and the certified information is a forum song reviewer. This identity also has a lot to do with the popularity of this post, generally speaking, only if there are more than ten reviews of songs, and at least half of them are recognized by more than half of the netizens, you can become a song critic.
The listener is a newcomer to the forum, and the registration time is less than a year, and it is Wang Luo who really makes him a song critic, who accurately made a comprehensive review of one of Wang Luo's albums, and has been recognized by more than 80% of netizens, thus obtaining the identity of a song critic.
After Wang Luo released his second album, listeners did not release the latest reviews for the first time, but waited until the sales data of the two albums came out a month later.
The first thing to be announced is the table of contents of this post, the first item, the comparison between Wang Luo's new album and Liu Zixiao's new album. The second item is a single review of the song, and the third item is a personal review.
The comparison between the first item and the two, in order to make it easier for everyone to see more clearly, the author has made this item into a table, see Figure 1 for details. ’
Followed by a table, with the names of Wang Luo and Liu Zixiao written on the top, Wang Luo in front and Liu Zixiao in the back. The first item on the list is the complete catalog of the two albums, both of which are ten songs, but have a completely different feel.
This is followed by the audience segmentation, which shows that the audience is 15-45 (50 or above) years old. Liu Zixiao's audience is between 20 and 40 years old.
Further down are the respective advantages of the two albums, Wang Luo's advantage is that the audience is wide, covering almost more than half of the domestic population, laying the foundation for album sales.
Liu Zixiao's side is highly targeted, with strong purchasing power of fans of all ages, and there is a superstar effect.
Then there are the disadvantages. Wang Luo's disadvantage is that the album audience is too wide, and it is difficult for anyone to buy an album for a song except for iron fans.
Liu Zixiao's disadvantage is that the audience is a little narrow and too targeted, which invisibly loses a group of potential fans.
This table is just a simple overview, and it is difficult for netizens to understand the meaning of this table without reading the next second step of the review. And in this table, the listener did not explain in particular detail, just looking at this made people a little itchy.
This is followed by the second item, the song review.
The first thing that listeners commented on was Wang Luo's song, and the first song to be commented on was "Can't Say Goodbye".
This song was first published in Wang Luo's Tianjing concert, and it was also Wang Luo's first concert. I've already commented on this song before, so I won't comment on it in detail, everyone click the link to see it yourself. However, I need to make some corrections to my previous review. At that time, I thought that this song was written by Wang Luo to a certain female friend, but after a series of events, I began to doubt, and I felt that this song was more like a song written for a certain brother. ’
There is no doubt that this is an extremely classic campus song, and every time I listen to it, I will have a different feeling. Those familiar faces that I had forgotten once again appeared in my mind under the guidance of this song.
To be honest, I really doubt that this song is Wang Luo's original after all? There are too many things in the lyrics, which must have rich life experience to have these feelings, at Wang Luo's age, all this seems a little undeserved. And in his other songs, it seems to confirm this, he is still very young, but this song is a little old, making people subconsciously think that his original may be a middle-aged uncle, or a twilight old man.
In short, most of the audience of this song is over 30, and although there are also under 30, they can't understand the deep meaning in the lyrics. ’
"Stubborn", this song is a song written by Wang Luo for one of his blood cancer fans, not to mention the lyrics, it is very full of positive energy, and the overall connection part is also good......
"Nocturne" and "East Wind Breaking", these two songs are full of vitality, and people can't help but have an inexplicable sense of impulse when they listen to them, which is very suitable for young people. I've been standing for a while, and I don't quite understand the meaning of this song. This kind of rap is inherently difficult, but Wang Luo obviously does a good job in handling it, which makes people sound without the slightest sense of disobedience. The chorus part is catchy, and even if I don't understand it, I occasionally sing two chorus parts......
The third item is the personal comments of the listeners.
In short, no matter which of Wang Luo's songs comes out, they can become classics. But I'm curious why Luo Wang put these songs on an album? Wang Luo has tried to include different styles of songs into an album before, and it has been successful, and this time it is understandable to do so.
But this time the amplitude is even greater than that of "Genesis", strictly speaking, among these ten songs, there are seven different styles of songs. Perhaps this is also the reason why Wang Luo lost to Liu Zixiao in the new album, although the song is a classic, it is too scattered and deviates too much from each other. Compared to the album, I am more optimistic about the number of downloads of the single songs of these ten songs. ’
