Chapter 57: Listening (2-in-1)
8.14, a good day, the calendar on Zuoqiu's table, this day was drawn with a red pen with a big red circle.
There are still five minutes, and the album will be officially launched after 0:00, Zuo Qiu fumbled for the photo in his hand, Dad, are you watching?
Time passed in silence, and as the last number ran out, Zhou Miao's debut album "Listen" finally changed from an inaudible gray to an auditionable color on major websites.
Those who have already pre-ordered can listen to all the songs immediately, put on their headphones, open the album catalog, and click to play the first track of the album, "Lovely Woman".
With the sound of wo~, the Chinese music scene has entered a new chapter at this moment.
At this moment, Zhou Miao didn't look at Weibo, nor did he look at sales, in the quiet of the night, he sat in front of the piano with the light off, playing the piano over and over again, only in this way can he suppress the throbbing in his heart.
His mind was chaotic, all kinds of emotions were running around in his head, he was both excited and scared, and he didn't know if after his reinterpretation, these classic songs would still shine in this world as they did in his previous life.
Are the tweaks and changes he makes to the song a mustache or the finishing touch?
His heart was confused, the piano was also chaotic, and he didn't even know what song he was playing until the end, he just pressed the keys like a vent.
"Bump!" There was a sound of pulling away from upstairs, followed by a sharp female voice scolding: "Crazy! You're the big guy in the night! Neighbors don't want to sleep? People have to go to work tomorrow! ”
Zhou Miao stopped her ten fingers, gasped slightly, and was scolded upstairs and couldn't continue to bounce, slumped on the sofa and picked up her mobile phone, and almost clicked on the chat interface with Hu San.
"Did you sleep?" After Zhou Miao's news was sent, he looked at the time, it was half past twelve, and he must have slept.
Unexpectedly, less than a minute after the message was sent, Hu San's video call came.
Zhou Miao connected, and Hu San at the other end was wearing a pink pajamas, leaning against the head of the bed with his face facing the sky, and his hair was spread out, and he was a little feminine.
"Why don't you turn on the lights?" Hu San saw that Zhou Miao's side was dark, so he asked.
"Forgot about it."
"Oh...... I just listened to your new album. ”
"How does it feel?"
"If "Lovely Woman", "Simple Love" and "The Sun and Moon in My Heart" were written for me, it would be 100 points, if not, it would be 0 points!" Hu San wrinkled his little nose and threatened.
Zhou Miao laughed, Hu San could always easily make him laugh: "Do you think you look cute?" ”
Hearing this, Hu San suddenly put on a straight face, and asked with a serious face: "Am I not cute?" Am I not good-looking? ”
"Don't think I don't know, that sentence: The beautiful cute woman who makes me blush is obviously talking about me! Hum! ”
Zhou Miao responded helplessly: "Yes, yes, what you said is right, okay." ”
Hu San snorted contentedly, the whole person fell down, she also turned off the light, and both sides fell into darkness at the same time, feeling like they were in the same space.
After being silent for a while, Hu San smelled: "Isn't it a little nervous that you haven't slept so late?" Worried about everyone's evaluation? ”
“…… Well. In front of Hu San, Zhou Miao was not reckless.
"It's okay, you have to believe in yourself, your album is going to be a hot mess! After all, you're Zhou Miao! Hu San tried his best to reassure.
This is the first time, Zhou Miao showed an uneasy side in front of her, no matter what happened before, he didn't care at all, he was not afraid of heaven and earth, she was a little distressed.
Zhou Miao showed a hint of a smile: "Aren't you worried that I'll find another girl after I get into a mess?" ”
Hu San pretended to snort disdainfully: "Is there a cuter and better-looking girl in the world than me?" Who am I? I'm a nonsense~"
……
The video call lasted for more than an hour, so long that Hu San on the other end of the phone had slept until he drooled.
Zhou Miao looked at her sleeping face, and her heart had regained her calm.
"Sleeps like a pig."
"Hey !!" Zhou Miao suddenly shouted, which frightened Hu San on the other end, and the whole person instantly sobered up.
Zhou Miao hung up the phone with a smile, and the angry Hu San poked his fingers directly at the screen, "I'm annoying you!" ”
The advent of "Listen" is tantamount to throwing a depth charge into a pool of stagnant Chinese music scene.
The quality of this album is so high that countless music producers have their scalps tingling, and if they don't look at the album title, they will even think that this is a collection of golden songs in the Chinese music scene in recent years.
But the reality is the first album of a rookie singer who has just debuted less than a year ago!
What's even more terrifying is that every song in it is made by his own independent lyrics, composition, arrangement, and music!
This can't be described as a genius, it's a monster!
Compared with the analysis of music producers, the majority of listeners' opinions on this album are relatively simple, two words, god!
In the past, singers released albums, and it was good to have one of the 10 songs that could be listened to, but in Zhou Miao's album, you can't even pick out the bad ones!
The most shocking thing is that when you open the charts of major music apps, you will see that from the first to the tenth place, the singer column is all with the same name, Zhou Miao!
I can't even find a single song that can be played during the same period, and Zhou Miao's own ten songs are dead and alive on the list.
You must know that except for "Sweet" and "Daoxiang", which has been launched for a long time, the others are all paid songs!
On the first day of the album's official launch, Zhou Miao completed an unprecedented chart domination!
Just today, Lin Jianxiang, the veteran king and leader of the golden age of the music industry, posted a long article, the title of the article is: "The worst era ushered in the best singers. ”
"This morning, my agent sent me a message saying that there was an amazing new talent on the music scene lately, and that there was something about his debut album for me to listen to.
I looked, isn't this Zhou Miao, does everyone think that I don't go online now? I've heard his songs before, too.
Since "Rice Fragrance", I have actually been paying attention to him, there are really not many young people like him in the music industry at the moment, I listened to his first album, and I felt a lot of emotion, so I have this article.
I have to say that this is a very extravagant album, and each song in it can support an album when taken out alone, but Zhou Miao put them together very willfully.
In fact, in the industry, this choice is unwise, on the one hand, the publicity resources are limited, you are destined to only focus on promoting one or two songs, then the other songs in the album may be buried.
On the other hand, if you disassemble these ten songs and release one song a year, you can be popular for ten years, and put them together, you are squandering your inspiration.
But it is precisely because of Zhou Miao's willfulness and self-confidence, as well as her extremely high pursuit of music, that we are fortunate to be able to see such an album full of sincerity.
First of all, the first song, "Lovely Woman", the lyrics and songs are smooth, integrated, the unique sentence breaks and super rhythm give people a wonderful experience, I haven't heard such a comfortable love song for a long time, and the singing is also very good, enthusiastic, sweet but not greasy.
The second song, "Simple Love", I think Zhou Miao may be in love, a little love song full of youth, people can't help but recall the feeling of first love when they were young, this is a song suitable for enjoying quietly with your eyes closed, even at my age, I can't help but feel a little rippling when I hear this song.
The third song, "Nunchuck", is a perfect combination of rock and hardcore rap, Zhou Miao's talent in rhythm and rhythm is vividly displayed in this song, the lyrics are very graphic, clean and cool.
I have listened to the arrangement of this song many times, and I have to say that in the combination of Western music and folk music, Zhou Miao in China is the best.
In particular, a piano solo was suddenly inserted into the intense guitar drum beat, which made people feel that everything was quiet in an instant, which was very imaginative!
……
In the current music scene, I am both happy and sorry to see such an album appear.
Although I don't want to admit it, the Chinese music scene has indeed declined, and there are many reasons for the decline.
Nowadays, there are more and more ways for people to be entertained, Weibo, Douyin, live broadcasts, games, and there is less and less time to listen to songs, and even I haven't calmed down and listened to a song seriously for a long time.
There are fewer people listening to songs, fewer people singing, and singers have to eat, so they can only run variety shows and make movies, and you see how many singers have never sung after making movies.
If Zhou Miao had been born twenty years earlier, in that golden age of the music industry, I believe he would have achieved great achievements, at that time there was the best environment, the best audience, with his talent, his appearance, all Asian women would be crazy for him.
Finally, when it comes to this album, I think even Zhou Miao himself will not be able to surpass this peak in the future, so here I will help him make an advertisement, friends who like music, you must not miss this album, believe me, it will definitely not disappoint you. ”
sprinkled with thousands of words, Lin Jianxiang's long article can be said to have given Zhou Miao a very high evaluation, which has brought a lot of impact to the music fan group.
Countless people, under his recommendation, curiously spent 20 yuan to see how powerful this album that was blown into the sky by the King of Heaven is.
I can't stop listening to this.
Driven by various musicians and good word-of-mouth, the album's sales exploded, and a week after its official release, sales exceeded 3 million copies, and the average purchase per capita was only 1.007 copies, proving that most of the people who bought this album were passers-by fans.
Unlike the top idols, the sales volume is indeed very explosive, and the per capita purchase volume is hundreds.
Another 50,000 physical albums priced at 120 were empty in seconds as soon as they were put on the shelves, and a large number of fans and passers-by increased their prices to buy them, and Xianyu's last physical album was fried by scalpers to more than 3,000 pieces.
Seeing this, Zuo Qiu hurriedly opened the pre-order of the physical album and notified the factory to work overtime for production.
In contemporary society, when something is on fire, you can see its existence wherever you are.
Hu San opened Weibo, there were discussions about this album everywhere, opened Douyin, the BGM of various videos has been contracted by Zhou Miao, opened the circle of friends, and recommended "Listen" in various fancy ways.
Hu San thought about it for a while, and also posted a circle of friends: "The person who was chased by the dog in the evolution meter released an album, have you listened to it?" ”
After a while, he received dozens of likes, and Zhou Miao commented at the bottom: "You wait for me!" ”
At this time, Zhou Miao had nothing to do, ran cumin here to chat and blow water, and the assistant Yang Xiaoya was more concerned about the sales of the album than him, and refreshed the webpage every once in a while.
There was still a voice in his mouth: "Brother Miao, you can make tens of millions of dollars from this album if you say less, have you thought about how to spend this money when the time comes?" ”
Zhou Miao lay on the chair like an uncle, and said with a smile: "As soon as the money arrives, I will send a bonus to my assistant as soon as possible." ”
Yang Xiaoya's eyes lit up: "Really? ”
"Fake."
"Humph!" Yang Xiaoya suddenly pouted dissatisfiedly: "People are telling you seriously!" ”
To be honest, Zhou Miao really didn't think about this, he thought about it carefully and said: "When the time comes, I want to take out some of it and set up a congenital heart disease relief fund." ”
"It's good to do public welfare, but there are so many diseases, why choose congenital heart disease?" Yang Xiaoya asked curiously.
Zhou Miao was silent for a while: "In the past, the neighbor's child had congenital heart disease, which was quite pitiful. ”
Yang Xiaoya nodded: "What about this apart from this?" Don't want to buy a sports car or something? ”
Roadster...... Zhou Miao was a little moved, who would a boy not like a sports car, "Let's talk about this, I don't have a driver's license yet." ”
Cumin sighed, he is eighteen years old, a super idol, a top creator, and a multimillionaire, and he is about forty, and he can't even afford a house in Beijing.
After "Listen" became popular, Zhou Miao's life changed a lot, and reporters began to be stationed under the company's building.
His address has also been found out by fans, and he often knocks on his door at night, and the most bizarre thing is that there is also a group of professional station sisters chasing cars every day to shoot.
These station sisters are not his fans, and they followed him to take pictures of him, and at first he wondered, what about taking a few photos.
As a result, within a few days, a lot of his private street photography magazines appeared on Taobao, 49 yuan 8 a copy, and the sales volume was as high as hundreds of thousands!
These magazines were not taken with Zhou Miao's authorization at all, and all the photos in them were taken by the station sister, and they were retouched very intimately.
Zuo Qiu told Zhou Miao that this can be regarded as a wonderful industrial chain in the entertainment industry, those station sisters don't know how much money they make by taking celebrity photos, and some even bought a house, they can't beat it, they can't hide and hide, they can only say that it's good to get used to it.
Red is good, red is also annoyed, and now Zhou Miao has been annoyed to death by those illegitimate meals with brain problems, if it weren't for the fact that they were women, Zhou Miao would have wanted to beat them.
Fortunately, such days will soon come to an end, and the central sound is about to start school, and he will soon enter the university and become a glorious college student.
