"Adu, are you still recording songs for Xu Nuo at Miss Yajun's?" On the phone, Lin Jianguo's mouth revealed joy.

"Well, I've been here this afternoon, what's wrong, what's wrong?" Du Xinghe asked Lin Jianguo.

"Hongyan called the first installment of "Mandarin Duck Butterfly Dream" yesterday, I checked it just now, and I will tell you!" No wonder Lin Jianguo was very interested, it turned out that the first installment of the dividend had arrived.

Yesterday, Hongyan calculated the share of "Mandarin Duck Butterfly Dream" as of March 13, a total of 17.15 million, far exceeding Du Xinghe's initial expectations.

In less than two weeks, "Mandarin Duck Butterfly Dream" sold 2.45 million copies nationwide, which surpassed Fan Jingru's "First Snow", which ranked second on the sales list, by a full one million! Compared with the popular "Little Bird", the sales volume in the same period was also nearly 1 million copies higher!

2.45 million copies were sold in 13 days, which is comparable to the four kings and singers! Zhai Xiaofeng's past albums, the best one sold only 1.8 million copies a year, "Mandarin Duck Butterfly Dream" broke this record in 10 days, even if Zhai Xiaofeng made the best psychological expectations before, he couldn't imagine that "Mandarin Duck Butterfly Dream" would sell this kind of Cheng dù! It's all against the sky!

Not only is the sales booming, but the reputation of "Mandarin Duck Butterfly Dream" is also excellent, and Du Xinghe's neoclassical Chinese style has been unanimously affirmed by music critics.

There are even some exaggerated film critics who have praised the song to a kind of Buddhist realm.

When Du Xinghe called. Fang Yajun picked up a copy of yesterday's "Entertainment Daily" from the sofa and read it casually, and saw an eye-opening music review of "Mandarin Duck Butterfly Dream", which made her study this song as a textbook! Every sentence is a unique analysis, and it is also endowed with an extremely profound philosophy, Fang Yajun was stunned when he saw it! The heart said that Du Xinghe wrote this song at that time, does it have such a profound meaning?

……

[Yesterday was like that flowing water]

Man's thoughts are like flowing water, never ceaseless; The same goes for time.

The son said on the river: The deceased is like Sifu!

[Don't stay away from me]

All kinds of things in the past are extinguished, the future has not yet been born, and the present moment is born and destroyed, and everything is changing. People are born, old, sick and die. Things come and go, and they perish. It is "nothing can be taken away, only karma is with you".

[I'm worried about the chaos today]

The past cannot be changed, the future cannot be grasped, and ordinary people are common. I often regret thinking about the past. Fear for the future. It is "there is nothing in the world." Philistines disturb themselves".

[Draw the knife to cut off the water and make the water flow]

I can't forget the things I want to forget, because I'm too deliberate, and I don't want to forget them. Because I don't want to forget.

A game in psychology: "Don't think blue, don't think blue" What color do you think about right now?

The crazy man complains about the woman every day, "I want to forget him (her)", do you guess you have forgotten jì?

[Raise a glass to eliminate sorrow and sorrow]

Sorrow is gone, and happiness is not left. Do not disappear naturally, do not stay but stay. It is "wine into sorrow and turns into a few lovesick tears".

Physiological analysis, alcohol can stimulate blood circulation, make the nerves more excited, more relaxed, and have a thousand thoughts, in this case, people are more impulsive!

【Ming Dynasty Breeze Four Drifting】

Any hardships in life, don't think about it, wake up, tomorrow is coming, and today will naturally pass.

The breeze is quoted from "the breeze and the bright moon on the river", the breeze does not change, and the bright moon lasts forever.

Drifting, in the Buddhist scriptures there is a metaphor of life like duckweed, duckweed, rootless drifting with the waves, alluding to the sentient beings are dazed and have wasted time.

[The origin is only the new person laughing, who hears the old person crying]

The world is like a tide, people are like water, the tide rises and falls, and people come and go. New life is born, parents are laughing, old people are dying, children are crying; On the day of the wedding, I was smiling on my face, and on the day of the divorce, I was crying in my heart

Life is like this, there is life and death, there is coming and going, the new will become old, and the old will no longer be new.

[The word love is so hard]

Love is not heavy, it is difficult to give birth to the Pure Land, there is love and hate, love when you like it, and when you don't love it, it becomes hate; With love, there is difference, and with difference, there is comparison, and comparison is painful.

Love is not only a matter of men and women, when it comes to loving others, most people make themselves miserable because they can't get anything in return, because they hate because of love. Because of love, you want to get it, and if you don't get it, you will suffer, which is "can't ask" suffering; Because of love, it is not suitable to leave if you get it, but you will eventually lose it, and when you lose it, it is also painful, which is the suffering of "love parting"; There are people who love, there are people who don't love, fate is created, when living with people you don't love, it is also a kind of pain, that is, "resentment will" suffering. Love this, still want to love that, get this, still want to get that, get that and want more, the desire is difficult to fill, this is the suffering of "five yin fires are only flourishing", plus birth, old age, sickness and death, that is, the eight sufferings of life.

[It's to ask for an understanding]

"I don't know the true face of Lushan, I am directly in this mountain", it is impossible to make everything clear and clear, and you can't drill the horns of a man. "Who was I before my parents were born?" It is the big talk of Zen Buddhism, and "how the universe was formed" is a mystery that the scientific community does not solve. Technology is still developing, ordinary people think that they are getting closer and closer to the truth, and scientists think that they are getting farther and farther away from the truth.

[Still pretend to be confused]

It's hard to be smart, and it's even harder to be confused. The more knowledge you have, the more reactionary it is, and the more you think, the more painful it is. In life, getting along with family members "is not deaf or blind, and is not worthy of being in charge" many things cannot be understood too much, and if you understand too much, there will be disputes; At work, as a leader, you must learn to pretend to be confused, and you must pretend not to see some things; In any era, in any country, don't think too much, don't have too many ideas, and don't have too many opinions about this era and this country.

[Knowing more, knowing less, but being content]

The characteristics of the commercial society are: try your best to tease your desires, stimulate your desires, and encourage indulgence. Because there is desire, there is demand, and there is demand, so that you can take out your money. Everyone has greed, the difference is that the content of greed is different: there are greedy eaters, sleepers, money, sex, fame, profit, power, goods, play, love to learn is greedy for knowledge, like to help people is greedy for good deeds, practice is greedy to become a Buddha and become an immortal. It is rare to see contented people in the world, and few people in the world are not greedy.

[It looks like a mandarin duck butterfly, the era that shouldn't be]

There are a few modern men and women who can experience the mandarin ducks playing in the water. The joy of butterflies? this era. Everything is fast, how can there be time to talk about love, everyone's principle is "you have to be good to me first, I will be good to you" The fact is that you want to love and are afraid of hurt. Don't say love. It's hard to have even basic trust. About love: It used to be male and female. Now it's male and male, female and female, and super narcissistic. In the commercial society, everyone is selling, and everything can be bought. The role of the family is getting smaller and smaller, and according to this trend, it will not be long before there will be no institution of marriage.

[But who can get rid of the sorrow of the world]

Material abundance, but the spirit is empty, money can buy a lot of tangible things, but not intangible happiness, money can satisfy your body, not your soul.

【Flower World Mandarin Duck Butterfly】

There are only two people in the world, one is a man and the other is a woman. There are men and women who make up the world of flowers.

[Already mad in the world]

When I was a child, I saw crazy people and felt that they were abnormal, because adults said they were sick, and it was only today that I figured out what normality was. What is abnormal.

Most people's lifestyle, behavior habits, and thinking patterns are normal, and if you are different from most people around you, it is not normal or sick.

According to this logic: rich people are not normal because they have too much money; Wise people are not normal because they are too fond of thinking; People who are ordained are not normal because they don't please wives.

Your preferences are different from most people, and they are not normal, others like to drink, you don't like it, others like to smoke, you don't like it, others like to sleep in, you like to go to bed early and get up early, and others say you are sick.

In fact, thinking about it the other way around, the behavior of the majority does not mean that it is right, and the behavior of a few people does not mean that it is wrong, and there is no right or wrong in the first place.

The majority and the minority are also relative, and they also change with the environment and the times. If you go to a mental hospital, you will find that you are not normal. It is precisely "the mentally ill have a wide range of ideas, and the mentally handicapped children are much happier"!

[Why bother to go to the sky]

When you have a stable set of values in your heart and a deep view of things, you will not be too susceptible to the environment, so that heaven is also hell, and hell is also heaven. Not affected by the environment, in Buddhism it is called "the eight winds blow without moving", what are the eight winds? Honor and disgrace, slander and ridicule. In Taoism, "the whole world is praised without persuasion, the world is not discouraged, the distinction between inside and outside, and the competition between honor and disgrace." That is to say, no matter what others say about you, scold you, praise you, you will not waver in your heart, because you are you, and you will not change because of other people's words. The happiness of ordinary people is completely based on the external environment, they are happy when they get it, they are painful when they lose, their joy and anger depend on others, some people praise them, they are fluttering, and some people belittle them, and they are depressed.

[It's better to sleep gently together]

Gentleness is the description of the sense of touch in the "six dusts" of Buddhism, which are color, sound, fragrance, for, touch, and law, and the sense of touch includes feelings such as warmth, coolness, hardness, softness, astringency, and slipperyness. alludes to the company of beauties, that is, the so-called warm fragrance and warm jade.

After you have reached the realm mentioned by Buddhism and Taoism above, you can be happy, "sleep when you are hungry and thirsty", eat when you are hungry, drink when you are thirsty, sleep when you are sleepy, go to fire when you encounter fire, water when you encounter water, water does not soak, fire does not burn, and light and dust are the same as the world.

Do things such as "the wind blows the comb bamboo, the wind passes through the bamboo without leaving a sound, the wild goose crosses the cold Tan, the wild goose passes through the Tan without taking a photo", the matter is taken seriously, and the thing goes without stopping; Treat people without welcome, inside and outside, cherish the moment, and treat each other with sincerity.

……

After Du Xinghe and Lin Jianguo exchanged a phone call, Fang Yajun immediately handed the newspaper to Du Xinghe and said with a smile: "Look at this music review, it is simply a god for your "Mandarin Duck Butterfly Dream"!" ”

Du Xinghe took the "Entertainment Daily" to take a look, he read this music review yesterday, this is not their own advertorial, but a female music critic named Kuiyu wrote, this Kuiyu is quite famous in the circle, generally the music reviews she writes are long-winded, this time I wrote this song "Mandarin Duck Butterfly Dream" is no exception, and even gave this song a fusion of life philosophy. Du Xinghe himself felt when he looked at it.

Even if he was praising "Mandarin Duck Butterfly Dream", Du Xinghe felt that this was a bit too much, and said to Fang Yajun with a smile: "These music critics are like literary and historical workers, always misinterpreting the meaning of the original author, and many things that the original author never thought about at all have been thought of by them." I really admire them sometimes, how can I hear so many feelings from a song? I think my musicality is good enough to understand the emotions and meanings of the songs, but compared to these professional music critics, I am simply a primary school student who has just started to get into music. Hehe. ”

Fang Yajun said with a smile: "Your "Mandarin Duck Butterfly Dream" is selling well enough. I read the media analysis that this album has the potential to hit the annual sales champion across the year? ”

"I think it's unlikely, "Little Bird" may rush to the annual sales champion of the New Year's Eve, but "Mandarin Duck Butterfly Dream" can't. This album is a big hit. I personally feel that the sales will be very weak in the later stage. Hongyan did market research on the prospects of "Mandarin Duck Butterfly Dream". Combined with the analysis of the historical number of similar albums, the result is that "Mandarin Duck Butterfly Dream" will sell about 70% of its total sales in the first three months. After three months, sales will drop sharply, and it will be difficult to rush to the cross-year sales champion. ”

The cross-year sales champion in the mouths of Du Xinghe and Fang Yajun is different from the sales champion of the natural year, and professionals and record companies in the music industry value this cross-year sales champion more than not.

The sales champion of a natural year is easy to understand, that is, the ranking of the total sales of records in a natural year. This list has a lot of drawbacks and does not reflect the real sales of an album, because the albums released in January are definitely more advantageous than the albums released in December, so most professional media will not evaluate the sales of records by the sales ranking of a calendar year. Only at the end of the year, the sales ranking for the calendar year will be listed.

The annual sales champion across the year is different from the natural year, and the sales ranking of the past year is based on each month as the node.

For example, the New Year's Eve sales list released in August 1992 counted the sales of Chinese records in the 12 months from August 1991 to July 1992.

The New Year's Eve sales champion released in February 1993 counted the record sales ranking in Chinese-speaking regions in the 12 months from February 1992 to January 1993.

The authoritative number jù statistical agency (the name of this statistical agency is [Authoritative], which is the most credible and authoritative statistical agency in the Chinese music scene), will announce the record sales list for the past year every month.

In this sales ranking, no matter what month you release the album, a 12-month annual cycle of sales will be counted, and various benchmarks in the music industry are also set according to this annual sales.

If the company's record can be permanent on this list, that is the embodiment of real strength, the current list is monopolized by the four majors, 24 annual sales lists for two consecutive years, the top 15 are all singers of the big four.

In the just-announced 1993-03 annual sales list, "Little Bird" ranked 50th with an annual sales of 7.26 million copies.

The first place is the singer Zhang Dehua's "When I Wake Up from a Dream", the album of the singer was released in April last year, and to the latest annual sales list, only 11 months of sales were counted, but the sales of 29.65 million copies sold in these 11 months are enough to dominate the sales list.

In fact, last month, on the annual sales list released in the 1992-02 issue, "When I Wake Up" beat the "Red Moon" album of Zhu Hanqing, the king of the era, with an annual sales of 28.05 million copies, and took the lead.

This issue is the hegemony of "When I Wake Up", and it is estimated that in the next two issues, "When I Wake Up" will dominate.

Being able to squeeze into the top 10 on the annual sales list is already a very remarkable achievement, at least only a diva or a little king-level figure can break into the top ten of this list.

To get to the top of this list, almost only the big king and super diva can do it.

For example, "When I Wake Up" can be on this list for more than three consecutive episodes, it is a completely phenomenal record, and only a singer can do this.

This list has been monopolized by the Big Four for many years, and it is commendable that other companies' records can break into the top 15, and it has been five years since any non-Big Four singers have broken into the top 10 of this list.

The birth of "Little Bird" will definitely break the monopoly of the Big Four on this list. You must know that "Little Bird" was first released on December 7 last year, and it was not until the latest issue of 1993-03 that "Little Bird" counted the sales in December, January and February, and it could break into the top 50 in three months, which is already comparable to a king-level record.

According to the current strong sales form of "Little Bird", it is only a matter of time before "Little Bird" breaks into the top 10 annual sales. Maybe it will take another half a year for "Little Bird" to reach the top 10, and if it can still sell very strongly, just like the singer's "When I Wake Up", then by the end of this year, "Little Bird" is likely to create a miracle of zào, and in the form of a single album, it will top the annual sales list of zào history!

Compared with the long stream after the outbreak of "Little Bird", "Mandarin Duck Butterfly Dream" is menacing, and it is likely to be menacing, but relying on the explosive sales in the first three months, coupled with the scattered sales in the back, it should not be difficult for "Mandarin Duck Butterfly Dream" to enter the top ten of the [authoritative] annual sales list.

If Cloud World's two consecutive albums can break into the top 10 of the annual sales chart, it will definitely be a harbinger of breaking the four major monopolies. (To be continued......)
