Chapter 132: Popular Record Market

The next day, Li Lin and the princess sang the opening and finale in newspapers and magazines, as the first confrontation between the two, newspapers and magazines were published.

"Music Time and Space" (drafter: Zhang Li): "Yesterday, the rumors of the uproarious princess PK Li Lin have not yet come to an end, and the two coincidentally sang a new song at the Voice concert. ”

"The princess's "To Youth" and Li Lin's "Wolf in Sheep's Clothing", the two new songs turned the scene over as soon as they appeared, especially the princess's "To Youth" caused the fans to cheer."

"In this contest, the princess is slightly superior."

"Apple Magazine" (reporter: Liu Yongsheng): "At yesterday's Voice concert, Li Lin, as the opening, was full of confidence, and took out his new song "Wolf in Sheep's Clothing" at the beginning to ignite the atmosphere of the audience, but when his song met the princess's "To Youth", it was a little inferior. ”

"The Queen of Heaven's "To Youth" is written by the gold medal songwriter Dou Wei, and the style is beautiful, and the princess's classic singing style also adds a lot to this song."

"Music Time and Space", "Apple Magazine" and other magazines all praised the princess in an all-round way, and explicitly or implicitly belittled Li Lin's new songs to build momentum for the princess.

However, Mr. Yang's connections are not covered, and after determining that his influence in top music or entertainment magazines is not comparable to that of the princess, he immediately invested a lot of resources in advertising in some small newspapers and magazines, so that they can praise Li Lin and belittle the princess.

For a while, there were comparisons between the princess and Li Lin everywhere, along with "To Youth" and "Wolf in Sheep's Clothing", which became popular on the streets and alleys. Everywhere is the melody of "The Wolf in Sheep's Clothing".

And although "To Youth" is popular, it is more talked about by musicians and fans of the princess. It's not like the song "Wolf in Sheep's Clothing" has spread all over the streets, whether it is a fan of Li Lin or not. It's all singing this song.

However, Li Lin ignored it, because the release date of his album was set, the twenty-fifth of this month, and this is also the release time of the princess's comeback album.

In other words, the two of them will really pair up at the same time with their new albums.

But I'm not going to throw in the towel! Li Lin clenched his fists in private, and he spent the next ten days in publicity every day, either on the show or in interviews, and then interacted with fans on the Internet every day.

In the blink of an eye, the time was the twenty-fifth.

In the early morning, the sky is slightly cool, and the streets are deserted. However, the largest record store on Treasure Island, the mass record store, is already full.

"Li Lin." Shen Meng and Li Lin huddled together in a Lexus car, and opposite them was the Volkswagen record store. "As the largest record store in Baodao, the popular record store is the vane of album sales."

"Generally speaking, the sales of an album that sells well in the mass record store will not be bad, and if it can be sold out, it almost indicates that the album is destined to be a hit."

"But none of this matters, the important thing is that this is your first fight with the princess."

Shen Meng's eyes fell on a silver-gray Rolls-Royce on the opposite street, and there was almost no one else who could sit in this kind of car and pay attention to the Volkswagen record store except the princess.

"In this fight, you can lose. But you can't lose too badly, once you lose too badly, the media will sing about you, and even Mr. Yang's connections can't save this result. ”

The impact of media decline on an album's sales is almost fatal, so this war can be lost, but not too badly. As long as it is not too miserable, Mr. Yang can use his connections to maneuver around.

As for victory! She never thought about it.

In history, there have been examples of singers below the level of kings and queens who have defeated kings and queens in album sales, but those are all little kings and queens, and they are also the kind of little kings and queens who are in the sky. It is basically impossible for a red star like Li Lin to defeat the diva. The gap between the two is too great.

Even if the princess has just made a comeback and her popularity is far from reaching its peak, it is not a red star that can be defeated. As for the comparison between what was written in the newspaper and the magazine, she didn't believe it at all.

"It's on."

"Finally the door opens."

"I want an album of the princess."

As soon as the public record store opened the door with a few clicks, the fans who had been waiting for a long time couldn't wait to shout loudly, and the scene was chaotic.

Several staff members of the Popular Records store are busy introducing customers into the store, and then interspersing them to serve customers.

"Give me an album of the princess."

"Give me an album of Li Lin."

"I want the princess, quick, quick, fast, ......."

……

The voices in the store came and went, some called for the princess's album, some called for Li Lin's album, and some called other singers' albums, but in general, the most were called the princess's album, followed by Li Lin.

Is this the popularity of the old diva? Li Lin pursed his lips, his hand clenched into a fist, and a trace of unwillingness flashed in his eyes.

"Are you unwilling?" Shen Meng asked suddenly, and then replied to himself, "It's normal to be unwilling, if you, the new red star, can really surpass the popularity he has accumulated for more than ten years, then it's called a thriller!" ”

"I just didn't expect the gap to be so big." Li Lin's eyes fell on the poster in the store, which was not his poster but the princess's poster.

On the poster, the princess is wearing a fox fur with a cold face.

"In the whole store, there is not a single poster of mine." Li Lin smiled bitterly and shook his head, "This gap is too big!" ”

Shen Meng chuckled when he heard this, "You have just released a new album, and people in the mass store don't know how much your album can sell, so naturally they won't hang your poster on it." ”

The most important thing is that at this time, when the princess's comeback album is released, the store will naturally hang all the princess's posters.

"But when your album hits, your poster will hang up too."

Just as Li Lin and Shen Meng were talking, the situation in the store had changed again, and groups of thirteen or fourteen-year-old students came together, shouting as soon as they entered the store.

"Give me ten albums of Li Lin."

"Your main consumer group is here." Shen Meng was also very excited to see this situation, although she didn't have any hope for Li Lin's victory, but if she could not lose too badly, she still didn't lose too badly, "The main consumer group of the princess is those fans who have followed her for many years. ”

"These fans have already started a family, although they have money, they will no longer be fanatical about chasing stars."

"And your fans are different, your fans are still young, they will also be fanatical about chasing stars, and they will buy several albums at once."

As if to corroborate Shen Meng's words, there was a youthful voice that belonged to the students in the store.

"Give me three albums of Li Lin."

"I want five copies of New Style."

""New Style, I want two."

Gradually, the sound of buying "New Style" suppressed the sound of buying the princess's new album, and it actually suppressed the trend strongly.

"Looks like the guy on the other side is going to be blocked." Shen Meng gloated and said, she still didn't think that Li Lin could defeat the princess, in her eyes, this was just a return to the light before the dying struggle, but even this could add to the princess's blockage.

This is also a joy in the bitterness!

The princess, who was sitting in the Rolls-Royce, heard the sound coming from the mass store, and her originally cold face had a tendency to develop like an ice cube.

She rubbed her nails slightly and looked out the window, "That guy has a lot of fans." ”

She never paid attention to those nobodies, even if Li Lin's name had been frequently reported in the newspapers and associated with her recently.

"It's just a small role." The pale-faced middle-aged man came up, "Every year, such a red star is born, but there is no one in ten who can really grow red." ”

"It's ridiculous that he is still trying to fight in the ring with the third sister, it's just beyond his means."

Red Star Red Star, the one in the sky that can shine its own light and shine is called a red star, but the red star is often a meteor, and it crosses the sky without leaving even a trace in addition to squandering its own light and heat.

And the princess is different, this is an evergreen tree, it is the bright moon in the sky, the meteor can't be compared with the bright moon at all, even if this meteor blooms with unprecedented light, it can't be compared with the bright moon.

"Some people just like to be overpowered." The princess looked outside coldly, "Zhang Huimei is one, and this Li Lin is one." ”

"These people are restless masters, always trying to challenge the order of the music world."

"But the order of the music world is something they can challenge?"

"The red star should have the appearance of the red star, and the little diva should also have the appearance of the little diva, instead of wanting to be promoted to the position of the king and queen in one fell swoop."

"People who can't recognize themselves will only be suppressed by the music industry and there is no room to turn over."

In the eyes of the princess, Li Lin's fans gradually became scarce, and her fans once again occupied the popular record stores, and the voices shouting to buy the princess's album came and went, gradually suppressing other voices.

Except for the occasional Li Lin's fans shouting about Li Lin's new style, the popular record store is almost occupied by the princess's fans.

"This princess." Shen Meng saw the situation outside, and gritted his teeth with hatred, "Her popularity is too high, I would have asked Mr. Yang to find some support if I knew it." ”

The so-called trust refers to those people who are called by record companies to build momentum for celebrities, such as book signings, record sales, and concert ticket sales, and they are looking for trust to buy when they are not popular or confident, which can create the illusion of selling out.

Shen Meng felt that Li Lin's popularity was enough, so he didn't ask for help.

"I don't need support." Li Lin glanced up at Shen Meng, "This is just the beginning, it's too early to say that you lost." ”

"And even if you lose? I can afford to lose! (To be continued......)
