Chapter 213: Good Life
When it comes to the ranking rules of the U.S. Billboard list, many people in China may not be clear.
To put it simply, this list is based on capturing sales, streaming data, radio broadcasts, music reviews, and some other factors, and then using this number of points to make a ranking.
Therefore, when doing promotion, it is necessary to combine some factors to invest in multiple dimensions, and the effect will be better.
But this thing does get a little hard to figure out for a while.
Therefore, for many listeners in China who do not use foreign music software and cannot listen to the radio.
When the billboard list is not updated, if you want to know how a song responds on the Internet, the most intuitive way is to go to YouTube and search for the related video of the song.
Let's take a look at how many videos there are, and then look at the playback data of those videos and what's going on in the comment section.
Let's be honest.
At this time, whether it is Xu Chuan, Yuan Meng, or the group of people in China who are now boasting about Sanger. all underestimated the song's potential abroad.
The reason for all this should be the day after the song was released.
There is a vlogger on YouTube who is very well-known and has a huge number of fans, and his ID is translated as "Alice at Six O'Clock". In the absence of business cooperation, he took the initiative to make a reaction video of Qiu Yicheng's new song.
Why is it so important that there is no business cooperation?
Because when Xu Chuan and Yuan Meng were discussing promotion, they had already found some relevant bloggers to cooperate, but the time was too short, and the videos of these people had not yet been made.
In other words, the video made by [Alice at Six O'Clock] is the first second creation of Qiu Yicheng's new song.
Speaking of which, this blogger usually has a wide range of video content, but she originally did music-related content, so she is still more influential in music promotion.
And the reason why she came out with this video is actually very simple. Because she's a public pull.
Therefore, after she saw that Qiu Yicheng, who had the same label as her, released a new song, she instinctively wanted to hear it.
Due to the characteristics of her profession, she set up a camera to record her reaction to listening to songs, thinking that if the effect is good, she can directly make a video.
Originally, she had the attitude of giving it a try, but after the recording, she felt that it was very necessary to recommend this song to everyone.
Within an hour of her video being released, Xu Chuan watched it.
clicked on the video, and at the beginning, she said to the camera: "Okey, what we are going to do today is a reaction video for listening to the song, this song is from Ora, a well-known female singer in China."
I need to emphasize that this is the first time I've heard Ora's work. Before that, I knew her as a free female representative who bravely pursued true love and was blessed by the public.
Although my understanding of her is extremely limited, I think that her ability to win the love of so many listeners in China must be inseparable from her excellent works.
But she is, after all, a non-English-speaking singer. And this song is an English song, so it may have some deviations from the music we are familiar with in terms of style.
If you don't like it, please be tolerant of Ora, a wonderful female singer. Of course, I'm a professional music critic.
I will still objectively explain my inner feelings, as well as the advantages and problems of this song. So, next, let's try to listen to this work called "Far from Home". β
With her opening ended.
Soon the prelude was played synchronously with the MV.
"The prelude of Wow~~ is very rhythmic, and the melody is a little simple, but it is very catchy. It was much better than I expected. β
Soon, the prelude ended, and Qiu Yicheng's singing sounded.
As mentioned before, Qiu Yicheng's singing has an obvious characteristic, that is, there is a sense of relaxation and self-satisfaction.
This kind of relaxation feels like a confession to the audience, and it seems to tell the audience about a little girl's thoughts.
And in the sad song, there will be a sense of freedom and ease. This sense of freedom and ease allows her to add a bit of storytelling to the song.
Her singing trait is quite obvious in "Far from Home".
So, [Alice at Six O'Clock], who had the attitude of trying, immediately changed her expression at the moment when Qiu Yicheng spoke.
It wasn't until the first part was played that she paused to look at the camera and said, "I actually want to tell you something at this time, but I still want to listen to this song in its entirety before commenting on it." β
With that said, she started playing again, this time after the whole song was finished.
She was obviously excited, and saw her in front of the camera, gesturing with her hands, and saying with an exaggerated expression: "From a professional point of view, this is actually a fairly simple song."
Its rhythm and melody have not changed much from beginning to end. Still, you know, whether a song is good or not doesn't depend on how complex it is.
Audio-wise, this song gave me a pretty good experience and gave me enough memory points.
Secondly, the lyrics of this song are also very simple, how should I describe it, it is like a poem written by a 12-year-old or 13-year-old.
Mind you, what I want to convey to you is that I really, really, really like the simple lyrics. Because of the astringency, violence, crime, and all the elements in the songs we usually hear.
It doesn't appear in this song, it expresses the feeling of a child missing his hometown somewhere, this feeling is so simple, I love this simple feeling.
The most important thing is that Ora's expression of this song is also a genius You konw! Because she didn't put any tricks into it.
Believe me, I swear in God's name that if she added tricks, the song would be many, much darker.
Finally, I think the person who created this MV is also a genius. As you can see, the theme of the MV is a car driving on a road. Except for the changing scenery, there is nothing else.
It is precisely this kind of practice that does not mix other elements that makes me more immersed in the 'simplicity' of this song, and my mind unconsciously drifts to my hometown with the song and the car......"
To be honest, Xu Chuan watched the blogger dance and evaluate the song in the video.
There are seven big words in my heart, that is, "This eldest sister is really good at boasting"!
Xu Chuan felt that if he made this video by himself, although he could pull things out, it would definitely not be like this blogger.
Such a boastful video was naturally seen by the domestic Internet, those bloggers who carry YouTube videos related to our country all year round.
Translate a wave with subtitles, and then add a screenshot of the high-quality comments in the comment area at the bottom to scroll. A video is considered alive.
Then, the video data of this transfer exploded, and the comments in the comment section increased every minute.
The last Chinese singer who was praised by well-known foreign bloggers like this, many people can't remember who it is for a while.
The point is that it's not just this blogger who is boasting. In the comment area of this blogger, there are a bunch of praises.
Of course, there are also those who don't believe it, they think that the blogger who carries the video has picked a good one from a bunch of scolding videos.
They don't believe from the bottom of their hearts that Qiu Yicheng's songs can be liked by the general public in the United States.
Then the slap in the face came, because in the process of watching the video of the moving blogger in China. The second creation video of Qiu Yicheng's new song on YouTube is popping out one after another.
As the saying goes, distance produces beauty, just like [Alice at Six O'Clock] said, their understanding of Qiu Yicheng is extremely limited.
Because it's limited, it's impossible to hack her from various angles like the sunspots in China.
Because of the lack of familiarity, it made everyone focus more on music.
As long as they focus on music, they will not be disappointed with this song that has garnered so much praise on Earth.
In addition, among these bloggers who do second creation, some of them are paid, and they can only give praise.
In addition, there is also a group of people with the same label who have to verbally support Qiu Yicheng regardless of whether the song is good or not.
Under the superposition of various factors, the current evaluation of this song on YouTube is basically positive. The only difference is that some are blowing a lot and some are not so blowing.
And as a domestic moving blogger, it is natural to know what the audience wants to see most.
What's the point of that less boastful?
If you want to see it, you can see the big blow.
Anyway, there are a lot of related videos on the YouTube pipeline now, and it can be carried by it.
In this case, #ι±ζ‘ζ©ζ°ζηΎε½ηη«#ηθ―ζ‘η«ι©¬ε°±η»δΈδΊεε€§εΉ³ε°ηηζζ¦.
Not only that, but it was also reported by overseas media.
There are various headlines such as "Ora's new song sparks heated discussions among YouTube bloggers" and "Listen to the singing voice of Ora, a free female representative from China".
These news were soon moved back to China.
For a while, Qiu Yicheng's fans were really about to celebrate the New Year.
At the same time, Yuan Meng saw that public opinion in the office had become like this.
I couldn't help but say to the secretary: "I knew that someone would help Qiu Yicheng promote it without spending money." What are we spending that unjust money for? β
"Haha, spend some money a little more at ease."
Hearing this, Yuan Meng showed a crying and laughing expression and said: "Really, with Qiu Yicheng's current public opinion volume, there is not much difference between us helping to publicize and not helping us to publicize." β
"Why don't you say that Mr. Xu is in a hurry to release a song at this point in time? He must have guessed this point in time, because Qiu Yicheng's identity is special, so it will definitely cause repercussions. β
"Damn, I don't have a sense of accomplishment, I finally pushed such a popular song, and in the end it has little to do with us."
"Hahahahaha." The secretary couldn't help but laugh when he heard this.
After laughing for a while, she asked curiously: "Mr. Yuan, you said that after a few days for the billboard to open, what ranking can Qiu Yicheng's new song get?" β
"I don't know, anyway, it's definitely not the 70 we thought at the beginning." Yuan Meng shook his head.
Here, Yuan Meng and the secretary were discussing in the office.
On the other side, people from Ziyi Media are also discussing.
"No, isn't this song that good? Why is it so popular all of a sudden? β
"It's hard to comment on this, whether the song is good or not is a factor, the key is that Qiu Yicheng became inexplicably popular on the Internet before. Now the heat is catching up, and it's normal to get hot. β
"How to say, Qiu Yicheng has such a good relationship with Xu Chuan's kid, we praised her a few words before to pull Xu Chuan. Now she's like that.
Shall we find a way to pour cold water? You can't just watch her become an international singer inexplicably, right? β
"To be honest, we definitely can't stop her popularity abroad. In case she releases a few good English songs in the future, then she really has to become an international singer.
However, it is definitely necessary to pour cold water on it. We can't care about her being an international singer, but we can't make her too comfortable, I think so, let's follow the original idea.
The reason for emphasizing Qiu Yi's orange fire is because of that Sanger, if there is no Sanger, she must not have this ability. β
"I also think this is the best, think about it, isn't the relationship between Qiu Yicheng and Xu Chuan good? If the Internet is all about Sanger, what will Xu Chuan think?
After a long time, the two of them will definitely have a disagreement. When the time comes, it is very likely that those two people will fall out directly, and it will be fun if they fall out. β
"Yes, yes, I am starting to look forward to the scene where Qiu Yicheng and Xu Chuan fall out, hahahahaha."
Under the consultation of these people, but also under the spontaneity of Xu Chuan Kuroko. Under the news related to Qiu Yicheng, many similar comments appeared one after another.
[It's Sanger, this song can be sung by someone who is not difficult to sing, and it can get some good responses abroad, and I don't know what you are blowing]
[This is not a foreign father to fly? With this thigh, it can be red if you change to a dog. γ
[Hey, seeing this, I thought of those who boasted of Xu Laosan's talent, and almost became the first in the world at that time. Now it seems that this talent is specially for China.]
To be honest, in the face of this kind of comment, many people are quite uncomfortable to watch, but they don't know how to refute it for a while.
But when there are many people, there are all kinds of talents.
Soon everyone thought of some rebuttals.
For example, if Sanger is so powerful, why haven't I seen a Chinese singer who cooperated with him in the past Internet celebrities?
There is also an emphasis on Qiu Yicheng's original Internet celebrity outside the Internet.
For these people, Hei Xu Chuan's words, that is a better refutation, that is, let that Sanger write a Chinese song to try.
Of course, there are some things that are not clear in the first place.
If this Sanger really wasn't Xu Chuan. Regarding why Qiu Yicheng can be popular abroad, and who is more awesome between Xu Chuan and Sanger, I can't understand it for a lifetime.
Now everyone doesn't know that Xu Chuan is Sanger, so public opinion on the Internet is also in the stage of not understanding.
"Do you want to make Sanger's identity public?" This question once again appeared in Qiu Yicheng's mouth.
Xu Chuan's answer is still the same: "No, on the one hand, it may affect your current grades." Second, since it has been misunderstood now, some people have jumped out to make trouble.
We're really going to have to pick a good time to smash these people in the face. The more they talk now, the more their faces hurt when they are beaten in the future.
If their faces hurt, if they want to use this to belittle domestic musicians in the future, they have to weigh whether they will overturn again. β
Time passes day by day in this voice of public opinion.
Six days have passed since Qiu Yicheng released the song, which means that the US Billboard is about to announce the new week's list.
This matter has attracted the attention of many people.
Needless to say, peers.
Even many netizens who usually have no concept of the US Billboard have a certain interest in this matter under the wave of popular science of Qiu Yicheng's fans.
"How many do you think you can rank?" In an office in Shanghai called SchΓΆnbrunn Culture Company, a man and a woman sat together chatting while waiting for the list to open.
It was the woman who had just spoken, and her name was Remy. Chinese New Year's Eve is thirty-one years old, and his body is similar to Le Xue, both of whom are mature and rich types.
And the man's name is Xu Huazhang, he is older than Remy, thirty-three years old. Although he is not handsome, he has an outstanding temperament, and he has the model of a rich young master and a successful person.
After hearing Remy's question, Xu Huazhang smiled slightly: "The top thirty must be there, this song is really popular on the Internet now."
It's not like the previous idols who brushed the list for a week in the past, in fact, the ghosts at home and abroad have never heard of it.
Moreover, there are not many strong singers during this time, and she is relatively easy to get results. β
"This Qiu Yicheng's luck is really against the sky, first she became inexplicably popular abroad, and then she was able to meet a song that suits her immediately.
Tut-tut, it's time for her to be hot, really, it wouldn't make sense if it wasn't hot. Remy laughed as he spoke.
"You say, how much power did Xu Chuan play in this?"
"What do you say? Do you think Qiu Yicheng and her own team have such a strong ability to seize opportunities? This was 100% planned by Xu Chuan. Remy said as a matter of course.
"Ha, hahaha." As soon as these words came out, Xu Huazhang immediately couldn't stop laughing.
"Laughing at what?" Remy wondered.
"Do you think Xu Chuan is lifting a stone to shoot himself in the foot this time? I helped her good friend plan a wave. In the end, nothing was gained.
Instead, it gave the group of fools who were winged to attack him a point. The key is this point, I don't even know how he is going to get rid of it? There will always be people talking about this in the future. Xu Huazhang said with a slight mockery.
"According to this, the higher Qiu Yicheng's ranking is in the list this time, the more embarrassing Xu Chuan is?"
"Otherwise, the higher the ranking, the more embarrassed he is. For him, Qiu Yicheng had better be thunderous and rainy this time. In this way, he can still save a wave. β
"Hahaha, that's really miserable." Hearing this, Remy couldn't help but laugh too.
After laughing for a while, she said with a straight face: "There is accurate news, saying that the 1 billion advance fund was taken over by Xu Chuan." To be honest, I'm not worried about giving this money to others. But Xu Chuan is a man who can make trouble.
So let's take over the resources from Ziyi as soon as possible, those fools are not enough to succeed, and the South Korean line is about to be swept out.
We can't let internal entertainment get out of the control of our side, if they all jump like Xu Chuan, I am afraid that there will be problems with the value output and public opinion front of the main family in the future. β
"Alright, don't worry about overdoing it." When Xu Huazhang heard this, his brows furrowed slightly, and his expression was a little unhappy.
didn't wait for Remy to reply, only to see him continue: "To be honest, this guy Xu Chuan doesn't deserve so much attention. He was a poor boy from the countryside.
A little smart; Luck is not bad; Talent is also a little bit there; But his background determines that his pattern is too small and his vision is too narrow. I don't think he ever saw the situation.
He had no idea who was the boss in this world. What he is doing now is all against the trend, even if we don't care about him, he himself has to finish himself.
Remember, Remy, that no one, no organization, no country can stand up to our master! Never possible!! β
Hearing Xu Huazhang's words, Remy didn't reply, just kept smiling and nodded.
Although they are all surnamed Xu, the Xu Huazhang in front of him is much better than Xu Chuan.
Of course, it's much better than your own.
Thinking of this, Remy changed the topic and said, "Why don't you open the list, I'm impatient." β
At the same time, in a large office building in the Longgang district of Pengcheng, a working group is also staring at the data of the American billboard.
"Not yet?" A girl spoke.
"It's almost time. I'm so annoyed waiting for something. β
"Eh, Lao Yu said that if you can get the top ten, right?"
"Yes, the top 10 is fine, but I guess it's hanging. Qiu Yicheng is our singer after all, and in the past 10 years, no singer from our side has ever been able to get the top ten of HOT100. β
"I think it's just that the top ten or not the top ten don't affect us to find her endorsement, and there is indeed no more suitable young artist than her. People also endorsed Rolls-Royce at the beginning. β
"That's right."
"Eh, it's open." While chatting, someone suddenly spoke.
As soon as these words came out, everyone asked "what is the number" and put their heads in front of the computer screen.
A second later.
"Damn, awesome!!"
"It's really awesome!!"
"Qiu Yicheng is blooming this year, this is the flowering of China and the United States, isn't it?"
"Hurry up and inform Lao Yu that Qiu Yicheng is second on the Billboard singles chart."
This news was naturally also seen by Xu Huazhang and Remy. After seeing it, Xu Huazhang said with a constipated expression: "Is it so fierce?" Take the second directly? β
"Isn't that a good thing? How embarrassed do you say Xu Chuan has to be now? β
"Xu Chuan is embarrassed to be embarrassed by Xu Chuan, but Qiu Yicheng is a Chinese woman, and she has never paid anything for the people of the main family, so she just took the second, and she always felt a little undeserved. What do you make other people who do their duty think? β
"Hua Zhang, do you say it's possible that her actual points are Zhou Guan?" Remy thought for a moment and spoke.
As soon as these words came out, Xu Huazhang's eyes couldn't help but blink a few times quickly. Apparently, he was thinking about the possibility in Remy's mouth.
Soon, news began to appear on the Internet that Qiu Yicheng won the second place on the US Billboard Weekly Singles Chart.
As the working group just said.
In the past 10 years, Chinese singers, let alone winning the second place, have never won the top ten.
Qiu Yicheng can be regarded as breaking history this time.
For a while, the Internet exploded.
#ι±ζ‘ζ©ηΎε½ε ¬εηε¨ζ¦η¬¬δΊ#ηθ―ζ‘, like a rocket, on the hot list of various platforms.
Another hour or two passed, and Xu Chuan, who was watching the state of public opinion, received a call from Yuan Meng.
said that a large company in Pengcheng contacted her, saying that they wanted to find Sanger to write an English advertising song for them, which was used as promotional materials for their global new product release this year.
Oh, by the way, this big business is called Huawei.
It's better than its twin brother on Earth, and it's not sanctioned yet.
