Polygram paid great attention to Li Yange's album, but not to the point of paying special attention, and they signed Li Yange's album at the beginning, in fact, in essence, to expand the vast market in Chinese mainland.

As a large country with a population of more than one billion, although there is no record that sells millions of copies at this time, the market potential is still quite large, and PolyGram, as the largest record company in the Asia-Pacific region, has long coveted this market. (Not counting those classic red songs in the past, only counting later pop records)

In addition, with the recommendation of Ryuichi Sakamoto, Polygram also signed Li Yange's album, trying to use him as a breakthrough to open up the vast record market in the mainland.

Therefore, in the promotion of Li Yange's eponymous album "Yan Ge", Polygram still put a little effort, in addition to the regular radio charts, it also put promotional posters in Tokyo, Ginza and other major sales cities, and invited some of its singers and artists to recommend this album.

As a well-known female singer at this time, Miyuki Nakajima, after listening to Yuki Fujiwara say that Li Yange's album will be released at the end of the month, she also spontaneously mentioned Li Yange, the composer who created "Where the Stars Are", intentionally or unintentionally, and told him about the upcoming release of a pure music album.

After several days of publicity and promotion, it has had some results, and many people have expressed some interest in this album after listening to the radio broadcast of "The Original Scenery of Hometown" and when they were interviewed by street surveys.

However, more people say that they are not very interested in the album released by Li Yange, a Chinese musician, after all, today's music scene can be described as a hundred flowers blooming, and there are veteran singers such as Miyuki Nakajima, Akina Nakamori, Sayuri Ishikawa, etc., and the new generation also has Shizuka Kudo after flying solo, and Kyoko Koizumi, who sings the theme song of the movie "Doraemon".

In terms of male singers, there are even more male singers, such as popular idol Yutaka Ozaki, new generation singer Masaharu Fukuyama, and Koji Tamaki, who is in the safety of the rock band.

It can be said that the eighties and nineties were the most glorious era in the music scene, and there were countless high-quality singers born.

Li Yange's album of the same name can't attract too much attention, so except for a small number of niche music lovers and elderly office workers who work hard in the metropolis, most of the current young people still like the youthful and lovely Shizuka Kudo, and the hot-blooded Koji Tamaki.

……

……

Not to mention Polygram's announcement of Li Yange's album in the book, after about a month of preparation and rehearsals, as the day of the graduation ceremony is getting closer and closer, the school is also very lively, and students are beginning to look forward to the performance of the graduation ceremony.

On this day of vacation, Li Yange got up early to go to the courtyard to accompany Cheng Shaojun, she has been in Beijing for more than a week, and she has not had time to take her to enjoy the style of the capital.

You have to go to the eight buildings for a meal, the Forbidden City and the Temple of Heaven have to go and have a look, and as for the Great Wall, you have to keep it for the next holiday, or wait until the summer vacation to go again.

At the long sink, Li Yange was brushing his teeth, and Xue Ke, who had just woken up and was about to pee, saw that he was already dressed neatly, and asked curiously: "Get up so early?" ”

"Go to bed early and wake up early, and you're in good health."

"That's just waiting for me."

"How?"

"Didn't you say you were going to open a restaurant last time? It just so happened that I asked someone to ask for a place, which is quite suitable, and I thought I would go over and see it today, and you would accompany me. ”

"In such a hurry?" Li Yange frowned, he wanted to take Cheng Shaojun out to play today.

Seeing that he didn't seem to be very willing, Xue Ke asked rhetorically, "Do you have something to do today?" ”

"Well, go out and run some errands."

"If it's not urgent, you can go back when you're done, I don't know if that place is suitable, you have to go and see it."

Seeing Xue Ke say this, Li Yange hesitated for a moment, thought about it, and brought Cheng Shaojun with him, there happened to be Xue Ke, the old Beijing, "Okay, then you can clean up quickly." ”

"Gotta do it, right away!"

With that, Shek slipped into the bathroom.

Half an hour later, a group of six people got into the van.

"Master, please trouble Yu'er Hutong."

The six people in the dormitory hadn't gone out together for a long time, and Fang Yuanchao was a little excited.

Seeing him report the location so consciously, Li Yange couldn't help but roll his eyes: "I said what are you doing here?" Isn't it just to see the place? As for all of them? ”

While speaking, Li Yange looked at Guo Yazhi.

Fang Yuanchao, Liu Wen and Tian Zhennan came with a reason, because they paid for it, but Guo Yazhi has been busy composing music recently, so he has time to come over today.

"It's a holiday today, so I need inspiration to come out and relax, and I need inspiration to stay in the dormitory all the time." Guo Yazhi grinned, not caring about Li Yange's projected eyes, and suddenly thought of something and asked, "When will your album be released?" ”

"The 23rd of this month."

Yesterday, Fujiwara Yuki sent someone to the school to find Li Yange, explaining that the album has been promoted recently, and it is scheduled to be officially released on the 23rd of this month.

Xue Ke asked, "Do you have a sample belt now?" ”

"Not yet, it may take a few days to send it over."

It's funny, the album is going to sell soon, and he, the creator, doesn't even know what the album looks like until now.

However, I know that there are two kinds of album releases this time, one is vinyl and the other is a cassette. The former had a small circulation, only 3,000 copies, and as for the tapes, there were about 50,000 copies.

A total of 53,000 copies, all of which are released, this number sounds very small, and it seems to be very different from those albums that release hundreds of thousands of copies at every turn, but in fact it is not less, Li Yange, as a newcomer, can release more than 50,000 copies, which is already a special treatment for Polygram.

If it's an average newcomer, I'm afraid it's only 30,000 at most, and even fewer have 10,000 debuts.

"Don't talk about me, when will you release an album?"

Two months ago, he was recommended by Mr. Chen Jiaqi and met the performer Professor Hu Haiquan, after performing a performance of "A Hundred Birds and a Phoenix", his exquisite skills were appreciated by Professor Hu, so that he had the opportunity to cooperate with the Beijing record unit.

"You don't have to be able to choose me." Guo Yazhi's face showed a trace of worry, this time the Beijing record unit wanted to release a few albums about folk music, and Professor Hu Haiquan recommended him, but it was not a final word, and there were many competitors.

In order to be able to adapt the best suona songs, Guo Yazhi racked his brains for more than half a month, and finally adapted a few suona tracks that felt good, and it depended on whether he could get into the eyes of the other party next.

Li Yange said with certainty: "I don't dare to say anything else, you will definitely be chosen this time!" ”

Others may still be a little hesitant, after all, there are a lot of competitors, but he knows very well that several suona songs adapted by Guo Yazhi this time were selected, and not long after his sophomore year, he took a vacation for more than half a month and went to record the album.

"Lend you good words." Guo Yazhi smiled, just thought that Li Yange said something congratulatory, who would dare to guarantee this kind of thing?

Seeing that he didn't believe it, Li Yange didn't say more, anyway, he would know when the time came.

……

In a hurry.

When the group arrived at the gate of the courtyard at No. 28 Yu'er Hutong, seeing that the gate was not locked, Xue Ke was stunned: "Lao Li, why don't you lock the door?" Not afraid of thieves? ”

"What are you afraid of when the door is locked inside?"

"Anyone living in it?"

"Hmm."

When everyone was wondering who lived inside, Li Yange knocked on the courtyard door, and after a while, a woman's gentle voice sounded in the house: "It's here." ”

Xue Ke and Fang Yuanchao heard a woman's voice in the courtyard and were dumbfounded on the spot.

What's going on?

There is a woman living in the courtyard, and the voice is still very young, I said why don't you give this place to be a rehearsal for the band, it turns out to be a golden house!

Just when everyone was stunned, the courtyard door opened, and Cheng Shaojun, who was wearing a white lace dress and had black hair, appeared in front of everyone.

Cheng Shaojun looked at everyone curiously: "Yan Ge, who are these people?" ”

"It's all my classmates in one of my dormitories, I'm on vacation today, I'll take them over to have a look, and I'll go out together by the way."

Li Yange introduced them to Cheng Shaojun one by one.

"Everyone come in, Yan Ge didn't tell me that you were coming today, I'll go make some tea for everyone."

Cheng Shaojun smiled politely, and when he turned around and was about to walk to the kitchen, he heard Fang Yuan shouting at the kid in the back: "Sister-in-law, don't be so troublesome, we'll have to go out later." ”

After brushing it, the crimson hit Cheng Shaojun's cheeks, and the little blushing quickly shook his head to explain that he was not Li Yange's girlfriend......

"Old Fang, you misunderstood." Li Yange, who was standing on the side, had a serious explanation on his face, but he was already secretly happy in his heart.

Fang Yuanchao did a really good job with this kid, and he had to find an opportunity to treat him to a big meal in the future.
