Chapter 312: King Merlin blew up his hand, and the battle for the hot song list

The new week has begun, and new songs have been released on new albums from both sides.

In order to regain the first place on the hot song list and stabilize the sales of Tan Zhiguan's new album, Merlin Records directly smashed the king bomb in the album.

Tan Zhiguan and Qi Xiuna's love song duet "One Life, One Couple".

The song also made a music video, telling a story of staying together for a lifetime.

The cooperation between the king and the queen of heaven has a strong appeal, which can be called the ceiling of the contemporary music scene.

Therefore, as soon as this song was released, it quickly occupied various lists and swiped the whole network.

The number of hot searches on Weibo remains high, and there are countless netizens who participate in the discussion.

"One Life, One Couple" is the top in the music industry in terms of song quality and singer position.

Moreover, after the release of the song, Qi Xiuna's team also began to promote it.

It can be said that this song gathers the resources and strength of the two kings and queens.

As soon as it was released, it sold out directly.

Not only Tan Zhiguan's fans, but Qi Xiuna's fans will also pay for this song.

After all, Qi Xiuna has not released a new album for five or six years, and she has only sung one or two film and television songs during this period.

Therefore, it will take a few years to hear a new song from the diva, and the fans will definitely be fully supportive.

With the blessing of various factors, after the release of "One Life, One Couple", the sales data began to blow out.

On the first day, he fell to the first place on the new song chart, on the second day, he broke into the top three on the hot song list, and on the third day, he broke into the top three on the hot song list, and began to have an impact on the first and second songs.

The other side.

In the new week, Fang Xing's new album will also release new songs.

Before the release of the new album, Turquoise Records discussed the order in which the new songs would be released.

In order to give "Chrysanthemum Terrace" more time to hit the charts, a few transition songs need to be released in the second week.

In fact, the original plan of Merlin Records was also like this, but the appearance of "Chrysanthemum Terrace" made Merlin Records have to change its strategy and take out Wang Bang, wanting to regain the first place on the hot song list.

The power of "One Life, One Couple" is indeed fierce, and on the fifth day of release, it surpassed Tan Zhiguan's first title song "You in the Rain" and rose to second place, directly competing with "Chrysanthemum Terrace".

Moreover, looking at the soaring momentum of "One Life, One Couple", it is very likely that at the end of this weekend, or next week, it will surpass "Chrysanthemum Terrace" and win the first place on the hot song list.

……

Seeing this situation, Songshi Records and Ark Culture are also holding internal meetings to discuss coping strategies.

"Boss, the momentum of "One Life, One Couple" is a bit fierce, Qi Xiuna also personally ran variety shows to promote, the sales of this song should be the fastest growing one in the past three years, if you don't do something, the list will be refreshed next week, and this song is likely to rush to the first place." The director of the cultural operation department of Ark took the data for analysis.

In fact.

On the first day of the release of this song, Fang Xing listened to it.

I have to say, it's really a good song.

In fact, when you see the name of the singer, you know that the song will not be bad.

After all, it is a song cooperated by Tan Zhiguan and Qi Xiuna.

These two people, one is the king of the music world, and the other is the queen of the music world, and they are both popular ceiling singers.

To be able to reach their status, it is impossible to rely on luck alone.

Their own appreciation of songs is also top-notch, and since they choose to collaborate on a song, the quality of the song is definitely top-notch.

It is true that the song "One Life, One Couple" is really good.

The melody is catchy, and the lyrics are very clever, expressing the thoughts of the people who love each other just right.

It does make sense for Merlin Records to use this song as the king of Tan Zhiguan's new album.

If the song had been released at another time, it would have topped the hit charts in the first week.

It's just that August this year is a two-way battle.

The popularity of "Chrysanthemum Terrace" is not far behind, as many netizens said, the gods fought in August.

If there is no "Chrysanthemum Terrace", "One Life, One Couple" would be the first on the hot song list now.

However, according to the rules of the music billboard, the chart data will be refreshed every week.

The rules of this list are to give new songs a chance to hit the charts.

If the chart data is a historical total, the songs on the chart may not change for the whole year.

As a result, the data on the hot song charts is refreshed weekly.

At the beginning of a new week, all heat values are accumulated again.

Moreover, the best-selling value list is heavily weighted.

Therefore, if the sales of new songs are good, the rise rate on the hot song list will be very fierce.

"Chrysanthemum Terrace" has been released for two weeks, and the sales have passed a period of rapid growth and entered a stable period.

Although the sales are still good, it is impossible to compare the sales with the new songs of the king and the queen.

Therefore, judging from the data of the hot song list, as soon as the list is refreshed next week, "One Life, One Couple" will definitely rely on the sales explosion period of new songs to reach the first place on the hot song list.

As long as you are in the industry, you can already see this trend.

The senior management of Merlin Records, after seeing the momentum of "One Life, One Couple", finally put their hearts at ease.

The cooperation between the king and the queen is still so domineering, and dominating the list is inevitable.

"It's stable, as long as "Chrysanthemum Terrace" is pressed down, Fang Xing over there, there should be no song that can compete with "One Life, One Couple".

When the assistant reported to Tan Zhiguan about the new song chart, his tone was full of excitement.

Actually, no need for the assistant to say, Tan Zhiguan has already seen that after the list is refreshed next week, his songs will return to the first place on the hot song list, completely ending this August battle.

Previously, when "You in the Rain" dominated the list, his mentality was very stable.

As the king of music, his new album should have dominated the charts.

Because other first-line singers will take the initiative to avoid it, and they will not be bored when he releases a new album.

When "Chrysanthemum Terrace" defeated "You in the Rain" to top the hot song list, Tan Zhiguan's mentality was a little unstable.

In "Sing Out Loud" before, he failed to win the championship, and he was very dissatisfied with the program team.

Although he didn't say it, he actually felt that Fang Xing had investment in this show, and the producer must be biased towards Fang Xing.

This time, a new album was released, and there was a head-to-head competition, no program group, and no audience voting.

It's all about sales and how much listeners love the song.

For singers, singing is the only way to prove their strength.

is popular in variety shows, and it is only variety show coffee that is popular, not the identity of a singer.

If you want to gain status in the music industry, everything is about albums.

Now that "One Life, One Couple" is about to regain the first place on the hot song list, Tan Zhiguan's mentality has returned to stability.

That's how it should be.

……

The other side.

At the Songshi Record meeting, Liang Yusong called Fang Xing to the meeting.

"What do you think? Looking at the current trend, "One Life, One Couple" should be at the top next week, and the quality of this song is really high. Liang Yusong's tone was serious.

"What about you? What do you think? Fang Xing wanted to listen to Liang Yusong's thoughts first.

Liang Yusong thought for a moment and said, "There are two plans. The first one, put "One Life, One Couple" for two weeks, let it dominate the list for two weeks, and see the popularity value later.

"If, after two weeks, the popularity of this song starts to drop, we will release a second title song and compete head-to-head.

"If the song is still hot after two weeks, then play it for another two weeks.

"Until the popularity value of this song drops, we will release the main song to compete for the chart."

The meaning of Liang Yusong's strategy is actually to "avoid its edge".

"Avoiding the edge" is actually the right strategy.

Every song will have a duration of popularity, and it is impossible to be on the hot song chart forever.

As long as you avoid the strongest time of a song, after the popularity of this song has fallen, you can release a song to regain the first place on the hot song list.

In fact.

"Chrysanthemum Terrace" was also two weeks after dominating the charts, and Merlin Records released this king bomb.

Although it was not Merlin Records that took the initiative to avoid it, "One Life, One Couple" did avoid the strongest time of "Chrysanthemum Terrace".

"The second plan is to directly post the title song, and the head-on is hard. But in this way, once you can't beat it head-on, you will become more and more passive later. Liang Yusong said the second option, but was clearly more inclined to the first conservative option.

Fang Xing thought for a moment, and finally made a decision: "Head-to-head competition, we also sing love song duets." ”

When Liang Yusong heard this answer, he frowned and asked, "Are you sure?" Although the love song duet on your new album is of high quality, I really can't predict who will win if you go head-to-head with "One Life, One Couple". ”

When the quality of the songs is very high, it is actually difficult to predict who will reach the top of the hot song chart.

Musicians can only tell whether the quality of a song is high or not, but when it comes to the ears of the listener, what exactly it feels like is actually unknown.

Therefore, musicians in the industry, listening to a song and guessing whether the song can hit the hot song list, usually guess accurately.

But it's hard to say whether a song can reach the top of the hit list.

If the quality of the song is high enough, it will usually be more stable on the hot song list, after all, there are fifty songs on the hot song list.

However, if you want to reach the top of the hot song chart, luck is also important.

Liang Yusong thought for a moment and said: "If you follow my thoughts, I suggest that you play this song "One Life, One Couple" for two weeks, if not, for four weeks, let its popularity pass, and then release the title song to finish." ”

Fang Xing shook his head and said in a very affirmative tone: "Don't hesitate, just post "Because of Love". ”

"Is it so insistent?"

In fact, Liang Yusong is not unconfident in "Because of Love", but prefers the style of "avoiding its edge".

As long as you avoid two weeks and release the title song again, you can dominate the charts for a longer time.

At first, it seemed like a cowardice, but being able to laugh to the end is the real win.

However, Fang Xing's new album this time is aimed at "doing it if you don't accept it".

"There is no need to avoid it, and I will release "Because of Love" directly next week, which is just in line with the TV show for promotion." Fang Xing had already made a decision.

In terms of music, Liang Yusong still respects Fang Xing's opinion.

Seeing that Fang Xing was so persistent, he didn't persuade again, nodded and agreed: "Okay." Since you are so confident, then post "Because of Love" next week. ”

……

A new week begins.

As expected, under the various propaganda campaigns of Merlin Records.

"One Life, One Couple" relied on the sales of the explosive period, and after the list was refreshed, it rushed to the first place on the hot song list.

Meanwhile.

Major music platforms also released a preview of the second title song of Fang Xing's new album.

The title of the song has appeared in the album list, but it is only in pre-order status for the time being, and has not yet been officially released.

However, listeners can already see the name of the song, which is called "Because of Love".

But there is only one song title, and it is not known what type of song it is.

In addition to the title of the song, you can also see the singer's information.

And the singer position of this song is not only the name of Fang Xing, but also another first-line female singer, but it is not Li Caiwei, who often cooperates, but another leading female singer of Songshi Records, Yao Liying.

Before Fang Xing signed in to Songshi Records, Yao Liying was the first sister of Songshi Records.

Singing skills, strength, there is nothing to say in all aspects.

Now, Fang Xing is already a shareholder of Songshi Records, and according to the contract, the shares will reach 20% after three years, becoming the third largest shareholder of Songshi Records, and the shares of Liang Yusong, the second largest shareholder.

Therefore, Fang Xing is already the boss of Songshi Records.

Since he is the boss of the company, he naturally has to consider the overall situation of the company and cooperate more with his singers.

It has been more than two years since I joined Songshi Records, and I have not yet worked with Songshi's leading singer.

Even Li Caiwei has released several top-of-the-charts songs in a row, which has begun to threaten Yao Liying's status.

Yao Liying is also anxious, after all, she is the first sister of Songshi, if she is surpassed, it will be very embarrassing to face reporters' questions.

Therefore, in the past two years, she has also worked very hard, but it really depends on luck for things like dominating the list of songs.

Singing a song with good quality can also rely on strength to choose songs, but the songs that dominate the charts sometimes depend on fate.

Therefore, Yao Liying has nothing to do.

This time, there is actually another reason why Fang Xing cooperated with Yao Liying.

That is, Yao Liying's contract with Songshi Records is about to expire.

If the contract is not renewed, Yao Liying's contract will expire in March next year, which means that there is still half a year to go.

At that time, Yao Liying, as a first-line female singer, will definitely have many record companies who want to sign.

Moreover, digging first-line singers from other companies does not need to spend money on training, and buying them is a top-level configuration, and many record companies are willing to spend money.

In fact, at the height of first-line singers, singers already have a lot of right to speak.

Especially when the contract is about to expire, if the company wants to renew the contract, it must give some benefits.

When talking about contract renewal, any resource can be used as a bargaining chip.

For example, the record company invests in the production of top music variety shows, and directly renews the contract with the champion.

Concerts, new albums, top endorsements, any resource can be discussed.

Liang Yusong attaches great importance to Yao Liying's contract, and began to negotiate half a year in advance, and also offered some good conditions.

However, Yao Liying has watched Li Caiwei catch up too closely in the past two years, and she actually feels a little uncomfortable.

In case one day, Li Caiwei stepped on her head and became the first sister of Songshi, then her situation would be embarrassing.

Rather than this, it is better not to renew the contract, as long as you leave Songshi, it will have nothing to do with her who is the first sister of Songshi in the future.

Therefore, at the beginning, Yao Liying was not very active in renewing the contract.

When Yao Liying talked about renewing her contract, it was the time for Fang Xing to make a new album.

As a shareholder of Songshi Records, it is impossible to ignore such a major event as renewing the contract of the leading female singer.

So, I listened to Yao Liying with a sample of "Because of Love".

After listening to the sample of this song, Yao Liying's heart was moved.
