Chapter 147: The Controversy of Gangnam Style
On July 16, Chen Jing kissed goodbye to Mina, who was still asleep, and officially started the signing of her second album "Because of Love", and the busy publicity life began again.
When Chen Jing came to the signing meeting, the scene was already surrounded by elves and fans.
"Chen Jing! Chen Jing! ”
……
As soon as Chen Jing appeared, it caused a commotion at the scene, and many elves were excited to get close to the idol.
Fortunately, there were security guards at the scene to maintain order, and Chen Jing did not dare to get too close to everyone when she saw this, so as not to have a stampede.
Therefore, Chen Jing could only wave to everyone while walking onto the stage under the cover of security.
"Today is the official signing day of my second album "Because of Love", thank you for your support, thank you! Thank you! Chen Jing bowed slightly and said gratefully.
"Chen Jing, Chen Jing!"
"Idol, we will always support you!"
"Chen Jing! Ah......h
Remember the URL
……
After thanking the elves and fans again, Chen Jing began to enter the infinite loop of signatures.
"Thank you for your support, what's your name?" Chen Jing lowered her head and asked mechanically after taking the album.
"Yang Tianbao! Hee-hee......"
Chen Jing was stunned when she heard this, and then raised her head and saw Yang Tianbao's smiling face.
"Sister Tianbao?" Chen Jing was surprised, she really didn't expect her to come to the signing meeting.
This is a real fan?!
"Surprised?" Yang Tianbao looked at Chen Jing and asked with a smile, "I said that I was your fan, you don't believe it!" ”
"No, no!" Chen Jing shook her head and smiled, "I'm just a little flattered!" ”
"Okay, sign it, there are many more people in the back!" Yang Tianbao said with a smile, "Then take a photo with me, I'll post it on Weibo to help you promote it." ”
"Thank you very much!" Chen Jing said with a smile, and hurriedly signed after speaking.
Then, Chen Jing and Yang Tianbao crossed the table, their two faces together, and took a few photos.
"Ah...... We're going to take a group photo too! ”
"Idol, I want it!"
"We want it too!"
……
Yang Tianbao listened to the cries of the elves behind him after filming, and said with a smile, "Did I cause you trouble?" ”
Chen Jing smiled, "They're cute!" ”
"yes!" Yang Tianbao smiled, "Then I won't delay you, I wish you a great album!" Bye! ”
"Thank you, Sister Tianbao! Bye! Chen Jing nodded with a smile.
It wasn't until he watched Yang Tianbao leave that Chen Jing shook his head, this operation really made Chen Jing incomprehensible.
"Let me remind you that she has officially announced her relationship with Sect Master Huang in February, so you have to think carefully before you do anything." Ge Feng suddenly leaned over and muttered in a low voice.
Chen Jing was not angry when she heard this, "Am I that kind of person?" ”
Ge Feng just glanced at Chen Jing and didn't answer, but his expression already said everything.
Chen Jing could only glance at Ge Feng, and then continued to sign.
……
After achieving 50,000 pre-sale sales in a week, on July 15, the sales of "Because of Love" directly exceeded 20,000 on the first day of its official release, and the cumulative sales have exceeded 70,000.
Chen Jing's second album has attracted much attention since the announcement of production, and after his first album broke one million and won a number of music awards, everyone is looking forward to his "Because of Love".
Especially this year, when album sales have shrunk sharply, countless people hope that Chen Jing's "Because of Love" can bring surprises.
Now it seems that Chen Jing's popularity is indeed terrifying, with sales exceeding 20,000 on the first day, although it has dropped by one-third compared with "A Ming Jingren", it is already the best single-day sales of albums so far this year.
Judging from the sales on the first day alone, Chen Jing's album will definitely sell again!
100,000 is not the ceiling, and the sales of "Because of Love" have better prospects! ”

"Because of Love", the cumulative sales on the first day exceeded 70,000!" --- Tengxun Entertainment
"The sales on the first day broke the record, and "Because of Love" pointed to 200,000!" --- Wangyi Entertainment
……
The first-day sales of "Because of Love" gave everyone a big surprise, and Huayi Music was naturally encouraged, and the album "Because of Love" would obviously achieve a good result.
"It is already commendable to be able to achieve such first-day results, Chen Jing's appeal is indeed extraordinary, but this should still be the elves in the top sales, and the sales after a week are the key." Zhang Yadong said calmly after being excited.
"That's right, but Chen Jing has already started signing nationwide, and the company's various publicity resources are gradually making efforts, so it should be able to keep up." The superintendent said.
"It's hard to say, this year's music market has shrunk too hard, beyond everyone's expectations, alas, it's getting harder and harder to make music." Zhang Yadong sighed.
"Yes, but this is also something that can't be helped, what we can do is to do what we have to do, bring more and better music to the Chinese music scene, and don't let it die completely." The superintendent sighed in the same way.
"That's what I said, then let the company increase publicity again, and strive to complete the 200,000 sales that Chen Jing said!" Zhang Yadong said firmly.
……
"Because of Love" sold more than 100,000 in the first week!
Chen Jing's menacing second solo album "Because of Love" broke the first-week sales record again after breaking the first-day sales record this year, successfully selling 100258 copies.
"Because of Love" can only be described as unstoppable, and this album's sales performance is unusually outstanding this year when album sales of other singers have plummeted.
In the entire first half of the year, only Li Yuchun and Sun Yanzi's albums exceeded 100,000 in cumulative sales, and "Because of Love" broke 100,000 in a week.
Coupled with the 50,000 copies pre-sold in the previous week, the cumulative sales of "Because of Love" have exceeded 150,000 copies, and it has been successfully crowned this year's album sales champion!
I believe that the final sales of "Because of Love" will definitely be able to break through Chen Jing's target of 200,000!
Chen Jing will also become a well-deserved little king of Chinese music! ”

"Because of Love" broke the first week sales record of this year's album again, and topped the annual sales champion in one week!" --- Wangyi Entertainment
"Because of Love" sold more than 100,000 in a week, dominating the sales list!" --- Phoenix.com
……
The first-week sales of "Because of Love" have the entire industry rejoicing.
The sales volume exceeded 100,000 copies in the first week, with a cumulative sales of 150,000, and directly became the album sales champion in the mainland in 2011!
There were such sales in the first week, and the final sales of "Because of Love" naturally made people think about it.
Although the sales of "Because of Love" have fallen by more than half compared to "A Ming Jingren", everyone is already very happy about it.
At least it has given many musicians who insist that the Chinese music scene is not dead, which proves that there is still hope for the Chinese music scene.
"It seems that even if Chen Jing's popularity is getting higher and higher, it can't stop the fact that album sales are declining." The superintendent said.
"I'm afraid this is not something that any one person or a few people can change." Zhang Yadong shook his head and said.
"But fortunately, "Because of Love" became the sales champion in a week, and with this name, it is already a success." Superintendent said.
"How's the additional album burning?" Zhang Yadong said.
The director said, "After the pre-sale results came out, I rushed to burn 100,000 copies, and now it seems that I have to ask for 100,000 copies." ”
Zhang Yadong thought about it when he heard this, "Then there will be a total of 250,000 copies, so that another 150,000 copies will be burned directly, after all, countries and regions outside the mainland will also distribute goods." ”
"Okay, I'll get in touch now!" The superintendent nodded.
……
After the sales of "Because of Love" came out in the first week, music reviews about the album also broke out.
"Because of Love": This song is the first chorus between Chen Jing and Zhang Liangying, Zhang Liangying's voice is ethereal and gentle, while Chen Jing is relatively bright and warm. Their chorus is rich in emotional layers, with both youthful feelings and the feeling of years.
"In My Singing": It satisfies the trend of a popular song becoming popular, the lyrics are popular, and the words are simple, the melody is too simple, so that people can sing anywhere, anytime, casually, and conveniently, which is convenient for people to vent and express their emotions.
"There Will Be No Future": Chen Jing's song has a smooth and super singing melody, as well as his good grasp of the rhythm, which is eye-catching.
"Nothing Different": There is a temperament running through this song, a temperament that makes people like.
In the face of the difficulties encountered in life, we must face them bravely, no matter whether the journey is smooth or tortuous, in the firm present and belief, we will still see a blue sky and vision of our own.
This gospel song-like work is full of warm and inspirational emotional colors, soothing people's hearts, encouraging everyone to be positive and optimistic and move forward towards their dreams.
Just like the lyrics, there is such a paragraph: "Because we are no different, when it is dark, we look up at the same starry sky, and there is no success in pursuit and dedication."
Who said that we must follow the path of others, who said that there is no pain behind the glory, as long as we do not admit defeat for our dreams, no matter how bitter we are, we will never stop"
Every lyric is a ripple, a mood, and a pursuit.
"Counter War": The fast-paced melody, coupled with Chen Jing's metallic high clarity, high resonance, and explosive power, can be said to penetrate everyone's eardrums well.
The dynamic music and passionate lyrics make people's blood boil.
"Counter War" also specially added elements of Rock to show the attitude of young people who dare to swim against the current, not give up, and insist on themselves.
"Gangnam Style": This is a work that satirizes the rich man pretending to be X. Gangnam is the richest area in Seoul, and Gangnam style is Gangnam's luxurious lifestyle style.
But Chen Jing's words and actions in the song "Jiangnan Style" are by no means rich, but she calls herself Jiangnan Style, which is actually mocking rich people pretending to be gentlemen and ladies.
This song is very simple, it can be called an entry-level, the constant repetition of the rhythm is very impressive, and Chen Jing keeps repeating the movements of whipping the horse and riding the horse wildly, which makes people inexplicably have the urge to dance together.

"Pleasure and beauty are different.
Recently, Chen Jing has just released her second solo album "Because of Love", in which 6 of Chen Jing's original songs have attracted much attention, because Chen Jing has shown amazing creative talent in "A Ming Jingren".
This time, Chen Jing created 6 songs in "Because of Love", and the other 5 songs are not bad in my opinion, but this 6th song "Jiangnan Style" made me feel like a fish in my throat.
It should be the experience of debuting in South Korea that made Chen Jing understand the Gangnam District of South Korea, but because of cynicism, she had an angry heart, so she had this "Gangnam Style".
To be honest, the completion of this song is extremely poor, even a beginner apprentice can write it, the lyrics have no connotation, only know the constant repetition and repetition.
And from Chen Jing's singing, it can be seen that it is more of the pleasure generated by venting, rather than the beauty of music!
There is a big difference between pleasure and beauty, pleasure lies in venting, while beauty lies in appreciation, and the two are not on the same level at all.
There is no doubt that "Gangnam Style" will surely become the biggest failure of "Because of Love"! ”
--- Wangyiyun
……
There are more and more music reviews about the album "Because of Love", and everyone's opinions are quite unanimous, which is another rare Chinese masterpiece.
But in the evaluation of the song "Gangnam Style", a completely different attitude appeared.
Some people think that although this song is entry-level, it will definitely have a good mass base and will definitely be a big hit.
The simpler it is, the more it tests his skills, and he thinks that Chen Jing's creative ability is very strong.
The other side thinks that "Gangnam Style" is too straightforward, unnutritious, and unaesthetic, and it is a graffiti work that can't be worse.
Because of the music critics' different attitudes towards this song, the attention of "Gangnam Style" has also risen sharply.
However, in the major music charts, "Gangnam Style" has been breaking through all the way, not only killing the songs of other singers.
Even the songs in "Because of Love" were left behind and successfully topped the top!
Such a straightforward and repetitive song won the first place on the major charts, which surprised many people.
Tao Jiji asked on Weibo: "Can someone tell me what 'Gangnam Style' is on fire?" ”
At the same time, many netizens said: To be honest, I really don't think much about "Jiangnan Style", but it is still popular, which is really confusing!
For this reason, what attracted was a surging army of elves, and the elves analyzed the reasons for those who didn't understand why this song was popular.
"The lyrics are simple but catchy", "The melody is repetitive but easy to follow", "The strong rhythm and the well-designed horse riding dance are a perfect match", "The humor is ironic! "Wait.
But although the elves explained a lot, they still didn't understand why the people who were popular in "Gangnam Style" still grabbed a lot of them.
At the same time, the debate over whether "Gangnam Style" is a good song or not continues.
This makes Huayi Music and Yang Tianzhen very happy, the more intense the argument, the more popular it is, and the more good it is for the sales of "Because of Love"!
For this reason, Yang Tianzhen and Huayi Music have added another fire.
Looking for water armies everywhere to promote the popularity of "Gangnam Style", and at the same time fighting with himself, arguing about the quality of this song, attracting everyone's attention and popularity.
So that a lot of people who didn't pay attention to this song were also attracted to it.
Self-hype and attract attention!
……
While "Gangnam Style" attracted everyone's attention and sparked heated debates, Chen Jing continued her national signing meeting.
In more than 20 days, Chen Jing held 48 signing meetings in 16 cities across the country.
At the same time, Chen Jing also participated in the recording and interviews of many programs, and her daily schedule was full.
After running through these 16 cities, Chen Jing was not able to rest, but received the company's arrangement to officially start Asian publicity.
However, it is mainly in the two provincial-level administrative regions of China in Xiangjiang and Baodao.
Up to now, "A Ming Jingren" has sold a total of more than 300,000 copies in Asian countries and regions other than the mainland, so that Chen Jing already has a certain popularity in Asia.
Therefore, Sony asked Chen Jing to start Asian promotion in order to stimulate the Asian sales of "Because of Love".
Therefore, Chen Jing could only rush to Xiangjiang overnight.
After resting for one night, Chen Jing immediately rushed to the first publicity location early the next morning.
There was a small makeshift stage, and no one paid attention to Chen Jing after she got out of the car, let alone the people who came to ask for autographs.
Chen Jing was stunned when she saw this situation, as long as she appeared in the mainland, it was difficult to move an inch, but now her swaggering appearance is unimpeded, which makes Chen Jing really uncomfortable.
Ge Feng, who was following Chen Jing, noticed Chen Jing's loss and discomfort, and couldn't help laughing.
Seeing this, Chen Jing glared at Ge Feng angrily, and then walked towards the stage.
Along the way, no one recognized Chen Jing, which made Chen Jing a little helpless, it seems that his recognition in Xiangjiang is not high.
Could it be that the elves have not set up a branch in Xiangjiang yet?
There were one or two hundred people around the stage, and it wasn't until Chen Jing approached the stage that someone recognized Chen Jing and shouted, "It's Chen Jing, Chen Jing is here!" ”
Then the fans around the stage all turned their heads to look at Chen Jing, and after looking at it for a while, they were sure that it was Chen Jing before they suddenly rushed over.
Chen Jing was suddenly a little moved, and someone finally recognized me.
Seeing the surging crowd, Chen Jing smiled and waved to everyone, and the staff on the side stepped forward professionally to block the car and escorted Chen Jing all the way to the center of the stage.
"Hello everyone, I'm Chen Jing, I'm very happy to be able to come to the Pearl of the Orient Xiangjiang, and thank you for supporting me today, thank you!"
As soon as Chen Jing finished speaking, hundreds of fans in the audience shouted in unison, "Chen Jing, Chen Jing!" ”
"Okay, without further ado, first of all, I will bring you a song "In My Song"!" Chen Jing looked at the fans shouting in the audience and quickly entered the state.
"Not the slightest bit of defense
There was not a single qualms either
That's how you appear
In my world
I couldn't help but be pleasantly surprised
……”
The melody of "In My Singing" is soft and soothing, and many fans are nodding their heads when they listen to Chen Jing's singing.
Seeing that the fans in the audience are listening carefully to their singing, their bodies are also moving with the rhythm, but there seems to be a lack of a trace of madness.
It seems that Chen Jing has some fans in Xiangjiang, but it has not yet reached the point where he is excited to the point of madness as soon as he meets.
Because the number of people is much smaller than that in the mainland, Chen Jing is comfortable with the whole performance.
Every song created by Chen Jing in "Because of Love" is very good, and it can easily capture the ears and hearts of fans.
At the same time, it also attracted many passers-by to join in this open-air signing concert.
After singing the last song, the fans in the audience shouted in unison, "Encore!" Encore! ”
This made Chen Jing's face smile, and it was not in vain.
In the end, when Chen Jing left the stage, he was finally surrounded by fans frantically, shouting loudly "Chen Jing, so handsome!" "Chen Jing, Chen Jing!"
Chen Jing signed autographs for the excited fans around her under the protection of the staff, and she smiled when she encountered sneak attacks from female fans from time to time.
Finally, after fifteen minutes of hard work, he returned to the car and ended his first publicity in Xiangjiang with a smile.
……
After two days of Xiangjiang publicity, Chen Jing moved to Treasure Island.
Fan meetings, program interviews, newspaper interviews, etc., Chen Jing has almost been on all the well-known media in Baodao.
In the past two days, Chen Jing also set off a whirlwind on Treasure Island.
Sony's vigorous publicity has made Chen Jing's posters plastered everywhere in the main cities of Treasure Island.
Coupled with Chen Jing's all-round publicity on radio, television, newspapers, book signings and fan meetings, Chen Jing seemed to have become the most photographed person on Treasure Island for a while.
With her upright posture, handsome face, classic songs, and passionate interpretation, Chen Jing has received more and more attention on Treasure Island.
When Chen Jing appears, there will be a lot of people pointing fingers, and on the stage of the event, there are more and more fans, and they are becoming more and more active and even crazy.
Regarding the whirlwind caused by Chen Jing on the treasure island, "Apple Daily" gave a key report.
Last year, an album from the mainland, "A Ming Jingren", ranked sixth in the year-end sales of Baodao, and this time he landed on the island again with his second album "Because of Love".
In two days, Chen Jing's posters and singing voices covered the entire treasure island.
More and more people in Baodao know about this talented original singer, especially young people, who love him beyond everyone's imagination.
However, when you listen to the classic songs in "Because of Love" and see the singer's stage scene, emotions such as inspirational, amazing, tender, and affectionate will swallow you. Eight Chinese Net
Countless young people waved their arms, swung their bodies, and shouted 'Chen Jing Chen Jing' in unison
Chen Jing's craze is like a tropical storm, sweeping the entire treasure island! ”
"We are no different
When it gets dark, we look up at the same starry sky
There is no success without pursuit and dedication
Who said we have to go in someone else's way
Who said there is no pain behind the brilliance
As long as you don't admit defeat for your dreams
No matter how hard it is, it will never stop
……”
The last fan meeting on Treasure Island also came to an end with the cessation of Chen Jing's singing, and Chen Jing's promotion on Treasure Island officially ended.
"Thank you, thank you all for your support! Although it has only been two days since I came to Treasure Island, I deeply feel your enthusiasm and support, which made my trip to Treasure Island a perfect one.
I will remember this beautiful place, and I will remember you lovely fans, I love you! See you next time! ”
Chen Jing looked at the many fans in the audience who were waving wildly with her, and said goodbye.
"Chen Jing, Chen Jing!"
"Chen Jing, don't go! Don't leave! ”
"Encore! Encore! ”
……
Because there were too many people and the scene was noisy, Chen Jing's farewell was only heard by the people in front, and the people in the back were still shouting Encore.
After knowing that Chen Jing was about to leave the treasure island, all the fans frantically rushed towards Chen Jing.
Chen Jing couldn't help laughing when she saw this, the fans of Baodao are obviously more enthusiastic and crazy than those in Xiangjiang!
"Brother Shen!"
"Hmm!"
Shen Changqing walked on the road, and when he met someone he knew well, he would say hello to each other or nod his head.
But it doesn't matter who it is.
There was no superfluous expression on everyone's face, as if they were very indifferent to everything.
on this.
Shen Changqing is used to it.
Because this is the Demon Suppression Division, it is an institution that maintains the stability of Great Qin, and its main responsibility is to kill demons and monsters, and of course there are some other side jobs.
Arguably.
In the Demon Suppression Division, everyone has a lot of blood on their hands.
When a person is accustomed to seeing life and death, then he will become indifferent to many things.
When he first came to this world, Shen Changqing was a little uncomfortable, but over time he got used to it.
The Demon Suppression Division is huge.
The people who can stay in the Demon Suppression Division are all powerful masters, or people who have the potential to become masters.
Shen Changqing belongs to the latter.
Among them, the Demon Suppression Division is divided into two professions, one is the town guard and the other is the demon exterminator.
Anyone who enters the Demon Suppression Division starts with the lowest level of demon slayer.
Then step by step, he is expected to become a town guard.
Shen Changqing's predecessor was a trainee demon slayer in the Demon Suppression Division, and he was also the lowest level of the demon slayer envoys.
Have memories of the predecessor.
He is also very familiar with the environment of the Demon Suppression Division.
It didn't take long for Shen Changqing to stop in front of an attic.
Unlike other places full of slaughter, the attic here seems to stand out from the crowd, and in the bloody Demon Suppression Division, it presents a different tranquility.
At this time, the attic door is open, and there are occasional people entering and exiting.
Shen Changqing only hesitated for a moment, and then stepped in.
Access to the attic.
The environment has changed in vain.
A burst of ink fragrance mixed with the faint smell of blood came to his face, making his brow furrow instinctively, but quickly stretched.
The smell of blood on everyone's body in the Demon Suppression Division is almost impossible to clean.
