Chapter 12 Singles Launched

How can you rest on the cold and warm

How many autumns to turn back

I searched all over but lost it

I don't hope for it, but I have it in hand

I get no

I can't explain the mistakes and omissions

As soon as I heard it, I changed it

I don't know where to pursue

What to ask for in a lifetime

Often judgment renounces and possession

Drain my life

If you can't touch it, you've run away

What to ask for in a lifetime

……

The young taxi driver hummed softly along with the music playing on the radio, and the fingers on the steering wheel were still rhythmically beating, and suddenly saw someone walking to the side of the road waiting for the car, a man and a woman, holding hands should be a couple, he quickly stepped on the accelerator, and the taxi brushed up and stopped in front of the young couple waiting for the car

The young couple opened the car door and got into the taxi, and the boy said, "Master, go to the Galaxy Department Store in Central." Hey, it's this song again? ”

The young taxi driver was obviously a talkative person, or a taxi driver, which was considered an occupational disease, and he said without looking back: "This brother is making a fuss, this song has been playing on the radio for more than a week, and the name of the song is ...... What's it called, oh, it's called "What to Ask for in Life", it's broadcast day and night, a new song by a singer named Gu Chen, just listen to the name and know that Lu Dao is a newcomer, but don't say it, this song is really good, listen to the radio host say that this song is just a song included in this singer's new album, and the album will be released in half a month, and I plan to buy an album when the time comes......"

When the taxi driver was talking about his feelings after listening to this song, the singing on the radio had long stopped, and the hostess's voice remembered: "Although I have listened to it countless times, I have a different feeling every time I listen to this song, that feeling cannot be described in words, but it is real, just like an old man who has gone through vicissitudes of life, and suddenly woke up when he was dying, this awakening is different for everyone." ”

The male host took over the conversation: "That's right, this song is full of life insights both in terms of song and lyrics, it is rare that the singer, who is also the creator of the song, uses his almost perfect voice to express the meaning contained in the lyrics to everyone, there is no doubt that this song is definitely a rare boutique in the Chinese music scene in recent years, I have a data here that can intuitively reflect this, since this song was broadcast on this radio station, in the past ten days, the cumulative number of on-demand has exceeded 1000 times, especially in the last one or two days, the radio phone was almost blown up. ”

Hostess: "In addition, according to the latest news, on the latest list of the top ten Chinese golden songs and the top ten golden songs of the top ten songs, "What to Ask for in Life" is on the list, and they are all ranked first. Such an amazing performance can only be described by the word 'ferocious'. ”

Male host: "Speaking of the word 'fierce', I have to talk about Gu Chen, according to the information we got, this Gu Chen is a newly signed singer of Polygram Records, he is a singer-songwriter, very powerful, and the ten songs on the entire album are written by himself......"

As early as two weeks ago, the single "What to Ask for in Life" has been introduced to the market, followed by the company's promotion of the single and Gu Chen and the upcoming album "True Self", for this publicity, Polygram used almost all the resources that can be used, radio, television, newspapers, magazines, shopping malls, buses, etc., including the most traditional posters, obviously, the effect is very significant, almost everywhere you can hear this song, the slightly hoarse but full of magnetic singing has conquered countless listeners, In just two weeks, the single sold more than 40,000 copies in Hong Kong, and it is estimated that it will exceed 50,000 copies in a few days, reaching the platinum standard.

More than 40,000 copies were sold in two weeks, which may not seem like a lot, but in fact, there are only a handful of platinum sales of records in Hong Kong in a year. And Gu Chen's "What to Ask for in Life" released this time is just a single after all, and the carrier used in the 80s record is still black tape, which is much more expensive than tapes and CDs in the future, and most people want to buy it after a while.

No, the girl in the young couple said with pity: "I heard this song in the video store downstairs of my house a few days ago, it is really good, especially his voice is really charming, but unfortunately it is a single, anyway, the album will be released in more than a week, and it will be more cost-effective to buy it then." ”

The boy smiled and didn't say anything, and when the taxi reached the Galaxy Department Store in Central, the first thing he did after getting out of the car was to pull the girl into an audio and video store in front of the Galaxy Department Store.

The girl asked suspiciously, "Ah Cheng, aren't you going to buy clothes to wear for tomorrow's interview?" ”

The boy said: "I'll buy the clothes later, since you like the song "What Do You Want in Life" so much, and it happens to be your birthday tomorrow, let me buy it for your birthday." ”

Hearing this, a sweet smile appeared on the girl's face, and she didn't say anything more, and followed the boy into the video store. Without exception, the music played in the video store is still "What Do You Want in Life".

The boy asked the clerk and pulled the girl to find the shelf where the single album of "What to Ask for in Life" was placed, picked up an album and was about to walk towards the counter, just two steps away, he stopped, turned around and took another one, and then smiled at the girl and said: "You are right, this singer's voice is indeed very attractive, and his singing skills are very powerful, I will also buy one and enjoy it." It's just that I don't know when I will be able to reach his level, and I don't know when I will be able to release my own album, alas, ......"

Speaking of the worst, the boy's mood seemed a little depressed, and the girl hurriedly comforted: "Ah Cheng, don't be discouraged, although you are only a student of the wireless artist training class now, with your singing and dancing talents, you will definitely have a chance to get ahead in the future, wasn't Gu Chen as unknown before." ”
