Chapter 173: New Album Word of Mouth
"There is still an hour left to lock the list, and there should be no suspense about the first place on the new song list in July."
Although he was very confident in Li Xingruo and the songs he had carefully prepared, at the last moment in July, Zhang Songnian still paid special attention to it.
"What's so surprising about that." Li Xingruo said casually.
Zhang Songnian smiled, and he didn't know where Li Xingruo got the courage, and always felt that her confidence in this album was higher than herself.
flipped through the list of new songs, in fact, in terms of quantity, Xingcan promoted through channels and their singers' own deep fan base, and the number of songs on the top ten of the new song list is not less than the number of songs on Li Xingruo's album.
The ten songs on the new song list have already been rounded by Jin Yu and Xingcan.
Five of the songs are by Xingchan and five are by Jin Yu.
Jin Yu's side of the list is Li Xingruo's album title song "The Moon Represents My Heart" and the two songs in the album, namely "Legend" and "Love Letter to Filmmakers", in addition to the other two songs "Meteor Garden", the two songs that came after the TV series "Love Has to Be Done" and "Meteor Shower".
The latter two songs relied on the special blessing of the TV series and came to the top and rushed up directly, while the two songs "The Moon Represents My Heart" and "Legend" firmly occupied the top two positions on the new song list by relying on absolute quality.
What is more special is the song "Love Letter to Filmmakers".
Although the MV is only a few minutes, the actors in it include almost half of the famous directors and actresses in the entertainment industry.
The lineup of this MV can be called the most luxurious lineup of MV actors in history, and it is estimated that even a movie will be difficult to get so many famous directors and actresses in the same frame together.
But this MV did it.
At first, not many people were willing to accept Li Zhengrong's invitation, after all, everyone was very busy, and when they heard that they were starring in a MV, most of them felt that the price was a little cheap.
Then after Li Zhengrong played the song to them one by one, everyone was silent, and then decisively agreed.
They couldn't refuse this invitation.
The song, as its title suggests, is indeed a love letter to filmmakers.
This song may not have much feeling for ordinary people, and maybe it won't have much feeling when listening to it.
But for all filmmakers, what is sung in this song is undoubtedly their life, but anyone who has been in the film and television industry must have an extraordinary feeling for this song.
Therefore, in the eyes of the public at first, this song was not so conspicuous in the new album.
The ranking of the list also illustrates this situation very well, at the beginning, this song on the new song list can only be regarded as decent compared to the ranking of Li Xingruo's other songs.
It wasn't until the MV of the song "Love Letter to Filmmakers" was forwarded to various social platforms such as Weibo by countless directors and actors in the entertainment industry that more people paid attention to this song.
The length of the MV is limited, but Li Zhengrong is a veteran who is good at telling stories with the camera.
It only takes a few minutes for Li Zhengrong to adapt his first half of life experience into a script, and then show it in the form of a MV.
The MV tells the story of a good director who makes a choice in the face of a dilemma between film and family, and then he steps towards success step by step when his family does not understand but still chooses to support him.
For Li Zhengrong, this MV is the epitome of the first half of his life.
And Li Zhengrong has experienced this way, and there are countless people who have grabbed a lot in the film and television industry, and there are even more difficult ones than Li Zhengrong.
On the day the song "Love Letter to Filmmakers" came out, it had already spread in the film and television industry.
And the content of the MV made countless filmmakers cry when they watched it.
For them, this song can be used as spiritual sustenance to a certain extent.
First, Qu Xueyan drove the trend of forwarding this MV to social platforms, and then countless directors and actors followed suit.
Listeners who couldn't understand the song began to listen carefully to the song after the personal experiences told by countless directors and actors on Weibo.
Therefore, when this song was at its most popular, it even briefly rushed to the first place on the new song list.
Although the latter song was quickly regained the top spot by "The Moon Represents My Heart".
But what is certain is that this song makes everyone realize that in fact, the film and television industry is not as easy to mix as imagined.
At least if you want to be a filmmaker, you need to have at least enough courage.
Li Zhengrong's personal experience adapted from the MV made many people cry.
"Oh my God, I always thought that making movies was a very simple thing, but it was so hard."
"Director Li has worked so hard like this, and I can't imagine other filmmakers who have not come out, this circle is really cruel."
"The actor who is more impressed is Miss Digital, I thought the entire film and television industry was like this, it seems that I was superficial, I apologize."
"I really didn't feel much when I listened to this song at first, but after listening to it a few times, I was about to cry when I really listened to it, so strange."
"The lyrics are really well written, as a person in half of the film and television industry, this song really sang me to breaking the defense."
"It's not easy in all walks of life, but there are still very few industries that need to choose between career and family, and it can only be said that it's really not easy for filmmakers."
"This album is really amazing, I thought this song was the most ordinary out of ten songs, I didn't expect it to be so significant, but in fact, after listening to it a few times, this song is actually very good."
........
During the same time period, Peng Yingjia did not fall asleep, he cared more about the ranking on the new song list than Zhang Songnian and Li Xingruo's hearts at the moment.
At the moment when the list was locked, Peng Yingjia was still relieved as he wished.
Fortunately, Xingcan's performance on the new song list is actually not too ugly, and there are at least five songs on the top 10 list.
But Peng Yingjia immediately realized the problem of his mentality, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
This result is not what I want at all.
My original idea was that the top 20 of this month's new song list would all be covered by Xingcan's singers, suppressing Li Xingruo's new album to the point that the public could not pay attention to it.
But who knew that just relying on Li Xingruo, a second-tier singer, he actually drove a group of super first-line singers from Xingcan on the new song list.
What's even more terrifying is that at the end of the month, at the moment when the final list is locked, I am still glad that Xingcan still has half of the songs on the list.
I really lost too badly this time.
Zhang Songnian really relied on his own strength to pick Xingcan's entire composition department.
And Peng Yingjia actually knows very well in his heart that this result is already the result of Xingcan's unremitting efforts to promote it in various channels.
If you really want to face it fairly and equally with Li Xingruo's new album, maybe the picture on Xingcan's new song list this month is much more ugly than it is now.
Peng Yingjia's slightly trembling hand clicked on the second page of the new song list, and found that the second page was still similar to the first page, half and half of Li Xingruo's new album songs and Xingcan's albums.
Peng Yingjia sighed and clicked his mouse to the position of the hot song list.
At the top of the list is Li Xingruo's "The Moon Represents My Heart", and she has completed the achievement of reaching the top of the double list.
Looking further back, the top ten on the hot song list also has the song "Courage" by Li Xingruo, which has been on the hot song list for a long time and has never been in the top ten on the hot song list.
In addition, Li Xingruo's "Legend" is ranked one place after the song "Courage".
The hot song list is different from the new song list, his inclusion goal is all songs in the Chinese music scene, regardless of old songs or new songs, and the assessment index is the number of plays in the last week, and the list changes once a week.
In the top ten of the hot song list, Li Xingruo alone occupies three songs.
Although Xingchan also has songs in the top 10, these songs are not new songs released this month.
Even the single of King Wu Xingsi did not rush to the top ten of the hot song list, but Li Xingruo won the top spot.
This gap, this ending is much worse than I thought.
Peng Yingjia rubbed his temples with a headache.
After thinking about it for a while, Peng Yingjia clicked on the comment on Wu Xingsi's single.
"One Man's Love Song" is still very popular because of Wu Xingsi's popularity, so the number of comments is still very high.
Peng Yingjia just dragged the mouse and pulled it down, the previous comments had no reference significance, they were all the results of the public relations department on Xingcan's side.
After filtering through those long comments, Peng Yingjia began to carefully read the audience's feedback on Wu Xingsi's new album.
"Although I think it's very good, and the voice of the king of heaven is more vicissitudes, I feel that I haven't heard anything substantial, and I can only say that it is a little bit behind what I expected."
"I've been looking forward to the album for several years, but there is only one single, even if it is, the melody of the song is average, and sure enough, people don't accept the old songs, but I still like the old songs before Wu Xingsi."
"Hey...... The king of heaven is old, the time that belongs to him has passed, it's time to retire, it's time for young people. ”
"It's still good, but I don't know why, maybe it's that the new album next door Jin Yu Li Xingruo feels so amazing to me that it makes me feel that this song is very ordinary?"
"Upstairs, you're more than alone."
"Then I'm +1"
"I'm the same!"
...........
Judging from the bad comments that Peng Yingjia specially picked, the more he looked at him, the deeper his brows wrinkled.
There are a bit too many voices like this, which can easily consume the reputation that Wu Xingsi has accumulated for so many years.
It is still a bit hasty to let a king like Wu Xingsi come out directly for business without much preparation.
At first, I thought that as long as I relied on the appeal of the king and queen, even if I chose a random song, Wu Xingsi would still be the superstar who could call countless fans before.
Now it seems, as the listeners say.
Times have changed.
Listeners are really smarter and more sane now.
At least their musical aesthetics are constantly improving, and they have begun to stop blindly following idols, but have their own ability to judge right and wrong.
Peng Yingjia couldn't help but shake his head when he thought of this, the entertainment industry is really getting more and more involved.
Wu Xingsi's efforts not only did not bring him more popularity, but because of the too hasty selection of songs, the expectations of fans were consumed.
Next time Wu Xingsi's new album, we have to plan it well.
Wu Xingsi thought secretly.
This confrontation with Jin Yu was not without gains, at least Peng Yingjia felt that he had realized the truth that the arrogant soldiers would be defeated.
This time it was Xingyu's own carelessness, if there is a next time, it will be impossible for such an ending to occur again.
Peng Yingjia closed the comment area.
After finding a suitable excuse for herself, Peng Yingjia felt a lot more relaxed.
In this way, when facing Mr. Qiu tomorrow, even if he can't raise his head when he scolds him, at least he can say the reason, so that he can't say anything and can only be scolded with his head down.
After figuring out this, Peng Yingjia thought about it and clicked on Li Xingruo's new album page.
glanced at the evaluation of Li Xingruo's new album, looked at the previous comments, Peng Yingjia skipped it directly, and then dragged the mouse back.
"I've listened to all ten songs, and I'll just say that this album deserves today's results, and it lives up to its name."
"In my lifetime, I actually witnessed the release of a god-level album, ahhh
"Last week, I played the guitar and sang "The Moon Represents My Heart" under the moonlight in front of the person I liked, and now the other party is my girlfriend."
"I love all the songs on this album, and of course my favorite is the song 'Legend'."
"Li Xingruo and Zhang Songnian are really a perfect match, I hope they can be together for a lifetime, so that they may be able to hear more such beautiful songs."
"'Love Letter to Filmmakers' is really touching."
"I glanced at the introduction of the album, this is the most romantic "Love Song" I have ever read, and I am really talented and too free-willed, even if I release an album, I can stuff people with dog food, okay, I can't eat this dog food!"
"If I were Li Xingruo, I wouldn't have been able to hold it for a long time."
...............
"Huh?"
The more Peng Yingjia dragged the slider of the mouse, the more he felt that something was wrong.
Li Xingruo's album reviews seem to be all praise, and there is hardly a single bad feedback.
"This ......."
"It can't be!"
Peng Yingjia immediately made a conclusion, even if the style of this album is diverse, no matter how good the songs are, there will still be people who don't like it.
In this world, except for the RMB, there are almost no people or things that everyone can do.
This is especially true of music, which is so subjective that it could not be more subjective.
Peng Yingjia doesn't believe that Li Xingruo's album can do such an excellent job of elegance and vulgar appreciation.
But when Peng Yingjia tirelessly flipped through hundreds of reviews of the new album, he gave up.
This song can't be said to be all positive, but no negative reviews are true.
However, after spending an hour and listening to ten songs, Peng Yingjia took off his headphones and sighed.
Sometimes, it really doesn't work if you don't believe in evil.
This album, even if it's yourself.
I can't find any shortcomings.
Xingcan's defeat on the list of new songs this time is really not unjust.
