Chapter 363: Jiang Lang is writing a small essay again

A week later.

Zhao Ji's new album sold 38 million copies online, officially surpassing the current highest-selling Liu Qin'er by 35 million copies, of course, this highest sales volume refers to a record in 20 years.

You must know that a few decades ago, when it was still a physical album and the major regions had not yet implemented cultural protection policies, there were many people who sold hundreds of millions of copies of a single album. (Michael Jackson's "Thriller" is the world's best-selling single album, with a total of 111 million copies sold so far.) )

And what surprised Lingxiao Entertainment and many musicians the most was that even though so many online albums had been sold, it didn't affect the sales of physical albums too much.

In a week's time, in an environment where physical record products have completely languished.

Zhao Ji's physical album also sold 8 million copies, almost breaking the record set by Liu Qin'er last time, you must know that physical albums are much more expensive than electronic albums.

Curious reporters have also interviewed fans who have bought physical albums, but their thoughts are surprisingly unanimous: it would be a shame not to buy a physical album collection for such a good song.

The electronic album is for listening, and the physical album is for collection, although it sounds a bit ridiculous, but it seems so reasonable at the moment.

Up to now, although it is said that the golden period of album sales has not passed, Lingxiao Entertainment has begun to prepare a celebration banquet for Zhao Ji.

Of course, not all of this album is full of praise, and everyone still has some micro-opinions about this album.

For example, the two songs "My Loulan" and "Crescent Bay" have been hovering alternately in the tenth place from the beginning to the present.

It's not that these two songs are not good, it's just that everyone agrees that these two songs don't match the tone of the whole album, and they don't understand why Wang Xie made such an obvious mistake.

Just open the comment section of these two songs, and this kind of comment can be found everywhere.

"The quality of the song "Crescent Bay" is really high, especially the chant at the beginning, it really kills me, but if you listen to it from the whole album one by one, the style of music suddenly changes here, it sounds really weird."

"'Whose heart is it, left alone, is he okay, how I want to love him!' This sentence is really injected with soul, and the song is good and singable, but the better the song, the more separated it is from the whole album. ”

"Crescent Bay" is enough to compete with any classic, and can even be put on any album, but I don't understand why it appeared on the album "Slowly Like You", which was completely buried, okay?"

""My Loulan" is also very good, but this song is not the same as "Crescent Bay", not to mention that this song is not the same as "Crescent Bay", so I only cycle this one single song on this album, which perfectly solves the problem of inconsistent style."

"'You always stick the silver hairpin on the sun, you always accidentally lean the shadow against the moon', and only Wang Xie can write such majestic words, but is this a song with a dime on this album?"

""My Loulan" and "Crescent Bay" are the two most impulsive songs I have ever heard, after listening to "Crescent Bay" I want to go to Dunhuang, after listening to "My Loulan" I want to go to the ancient city of Loulan."

"It's a pity, it's a pity that the song that can win the top of the charts is a pity that it was born at the wrong time."

“……”

All in all, fans both spoke highly of the quality of these two songs, and were puzzled by the presence of these two songs.

In fact, not only fans, but also music critics are a little puzzled by this.

"Style unity" is the key to an album, but the two songs at the end of this album completely destroy this unity, why would Wang Xie, as a top musician, make such a simple mistake.

This doubt was not answered until the evening of the 7th day, when the senior "Wang Blow" Jiang Lang gave an answer with a music review.

"Unification or Division? Talking about the role of "Crescent Bay" & "My Loulan" in the album"

As we all know, Jiang Lang is a well-known "Wang Blow", so as soon as this music review was released, it attracted the attention of many netizens, and they wanted to see how Jiang Lang helped Wang Xie Yuan.

That's what this review says.

"The album "Slowly Like You" is the first album written by Mr. Wang Xie to the diva Zhao Ji, and it is also the second album written by Mr. Wang Xie seriously, from the quality of this album, I think it is one of Mr. Wang Xie's landmark works, which is an unbridgeable gap between [the father of words] and ordinary musicians."

"Today's routine touting is over [laughs]."

"It's been a week since the album was released, and all sorts of data and explosive reviews have said a lot about how good this album is, so I won't go into it here. It's just that in the past seven days, I found that some listeners still have a lot of complaints about the two songs "Crescent Bay" and "My Loulan" in the whole album, thinking that these two songs have ruined the style of the whole album, and today I will mainly talk about my understanding. ”

"Let's talk about the conclusion first, in addition to Mr. Wang Xie's exploration of more music, I think the appearance of these two songs at the end of the album is a deliberate and very meaningful move by Mr. Wang Xie."

"If you want to understand the meaning, let's start with the style of the album."

To put it bluntly, style is not a real part of the work, but the temperament that permeates the whole album, which will not only give the listener a holistic grasp of the style, but also give the listener a multi-angle and multi-level in-depth understanding with a changeable structure or various details. The style does not directly participate in the front-line battle, but implements macroscopic scheduling and command for the whole album at a high place and behind the scenes, so that the main and secondary, detailed and characteristic of the album can be appropriately presented. ”

"Of course, 'uniform style' is not 'monolithic', which is a common mistake made by novice musicians, so I won't go into too much detail here. Let's mainly talk about the style of Mr. Wang Xie's new album. ”

"The album 'Slowly Like You' is a standard template for a unified style."

"The core of the whole album is the love song of urban women, and more detailed, it is the healing song of girls after falling out of love. If we look at the order of this album, it is actually all the journeys of a woman after falling out of love. Hope, disappointment, heartbreak, despair, self-isolation, self-healing, self-redemption, and running into the future. ”

"And the source of the sense of separation that everyone feels in the last two songs is actually because the first eight songs of this album are pop songs, and the last two songs are pop mixed with nationalities, and the feelings are inconsistent due to inconsistent music styles."

"But in fact, this is exactly the good intentions of Mr. Wang Xie."

"When the first eight songs have gone through all the love journeys, the girls who can already face the past with a smile when they get out of their inner predicament and face a new world, naturally do not have to be trapped in the urban love songs of pop music, but use the mystery and grandeur of the national style to show that her heart has broken free from the shackles, which is also the kind reminder and expectation of Mr. Wang Xie to more girls."

"Try to imagine that an album is emotionally trapped from beginning to end, so what is the point of this album other than being good."

"Please continue to imagine, 'Who bathes in the sand river with the beauty for a day, who sleeps in the sunset with the beauty and gets drunk for two thousand years' This kind of lyrics are still sung in that gloomy style, will it still be good?!"

"So the last two songs are not the failure of the whole album, but a gift from Mr. Wang Xie to many listeners."

"Above."

Jiang Lang's music reviews made many fans confused, it turned out that the last two songs could be explained like this, but they vaguely felt that what Jiang Lang said seemed to have some truth.

"Hey, when Mr. Jiang Lang said this, it seems that this is indeed the case."

"I listened to it again, it was really what Mr. Jiang Lang said."

"So, we didn't understand Teacher Wang Xie's painstaking efforts?"

"Thank you, Mr. Wang Xie, for this gift to us."

"Really, if you say that, this album seems really unusual."

“……”

The staff also transferred this music review to Zhao Ji, and Zhao Ji was also stunned after reading it, does Wang Xie still mean this?

So Zhao Ji immediately called Wang Xie.

"My dear, do you insist on adding "Crescent Bay" and "My Loulan" to the album, and there is a meaning that I don't know?"

"What do you mean?"

"That's what Jiang Lang said...."

After listening to Zhao Ji's detailed explanation, Wang Xie, who was confused, also went to see the music review released by Jiang Lang.

However, after reading it, Wang Xie couldn't help laughing.

"My silly girl, didn't you have to add these two songs?"

"Oh, yes."

Poor Zhang Zecao was too clever to calculate, and finally made a wedding dress for Jiang Lang.

Because the whole event goes from fermentation to the end.

Wang Xie had only heard the name of one person from Zhao Ji's mouth.

Jiang Lang.
