Chapter 124: Can Funeral Songs Go International?
Wanggang Village.
Mourning Hall.
"Woo woo, mother, I'm here to see you!"
"Even a kiss, why did you just leave......"
Several family members wept and cried, tears soaring.
The suona team outside is playing vigorously with their cheeks puffed out, and the sound of suona is like tear gas.
The suona does not stop, and the cries of the family members continue.
At this time, several members of the band who came outside to inquire about the situation, some of them wiped their tears and said: "Lao Liu, we are not wronged to lose, this suona is so sad that even I want to cry when I hear it." ”
Lao Liu collapsed his face and looked at Wang Mazi's suona team with some unconvinced.
"It's strange, Wang Mazi's suona team, when did it become so powerful?"
The people are still the same few people, and nothing has changed.
The level is still at that level, and I don't hear much progress.
But the emotional appeal of this suona is several times stronger than Wang Mazi's previous songs.
changed the suona song, Wang Mazi and their entire suona version seemed to be reborn.
It seems that the problem is still with the song.
"No, knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent can win all battles, I have to find a way to ask Wang Mazi where they learned their tunes."
Lao Liu's eyes rolled, and then he took someone to leave first, so as not to let Wang Mazi and them be suspicious.
After a while, an old man in an old Mao suit came to the suona version with a pack of cigarettes.
"Wang Mazi, don't blow it yet, the eyes of several family members of the owner are crying and swollen, you let them rest!"
The old man said as he handed out cigarettes to the people of the suona team.
"Okay, then rest for half an hour, and the guests will come later, and we will blow it to the host."
Wang Mazi saw that there were not many people outside, so he asked a few suona craftsmen to stop.
"Lao Wang, your new song is amazing, I heard that a few days ago in the next village, your suona version almost made people's families cry?"
After the old man lit a cigarette for Wang Mazi, he asked casually.
"It's not that exaggerated, it's because the relatives of the owner's family have health problems, and it has nothing to do with us."
Wang Mazi laughed and glanced at the old man.
"But this new song is really good, with this new song, it will be easier for you to take over the work in the future...... By the way, where did you learn this new tune? ”
The old man gave a thumbs up and praised the suona team's good tunes.
Wang Mazi smiled and said nothing, but at this time, a young man in the class didn't think much about it, and said amazingly: "This is all learned by our Wang class master himself and from the CD, our Wang class master's suona level, isn't it easy to learn this." ”
Syllable.
At this time, an older suona craftsman patted the head of the younger life and said: "Blow your suona, you talk a lot." ”
Buying to learn?
After the old man wrote down this sentence in his heart, he wanted to ask more specifics, but he was gaged by a few old fritters in the suona version.
The big-mouthed descendant was pushed aside, but it was not so easy for him to inquire about the news, so he had to talk a few words casually, and then left under the pretext.
"Uncle Qi, why did you beat me just now?"
As soon as the old man left, Housheng came back and asked angrily.
"You are stupid, you don't know that this old man Huang and Liu Liu'er are relatives, he is a weasel to give New Year's greetings to chickens, and he is uneasy and kind."
The old suona craftsman taught the next generation, but was stopped by Wang Mazi and said: "It's okay, I can't hide this matter anyway, why do you blame the baby." ”
Wang Mazi waved his hand indifferently, even if Liu Laoliu and the others knew where their tune came from, they wanted to use the band to blow this tune, it could only be a tiger and not an anti-dog.
After getting familiar with these pieces in the past few days, Wang Mazi admires more and more the people who wrote these suona songs, this song is simply born to be written for suona, and other instruments can't play this flavor.
Glancing at the outside of the mourning hall, Wang Mazi laughed in his chest.
At this time, Huang Laohan, who was a spy just now, also quietly came to the outside of the mourning hall.
"Sixth, I asked you, this Wang Mazi's tune seems to have been bought from where I learned it myself."
Huang Laohan told Liu Laoliu the news he had heard, and looked at the bag of Huazi in his hand expectantly.
"Okay, I see."
Liu Laoliu threw the bag Huazi in his hand to Huang Laohan, and left with a few people in the orchestra.
"Sixth, this old man Huang didn't inquire clearly, why did you give him such good cigarettes."
"It's enough to know this, there is only a video store in our town, and we will find out when the time comes."
Liu Laoliu replied shrewdly, and then rode directly to the town.
It became a video store again.
As soon as Liu Laoliu arrived at the door of the video store, he saw a suona maker from another village talking to the boss.
"Boss, get me a suona album for the weekend."
"Hey, you're so lucky, it'll be sold out if you're late."
The boss skillfully took out a disc from the shelf outside and handed it to the suona maker: "Thirty-five." ”
"Okay."
After the suona craftsman paid, he left with a happy face.
Liu Lao Liu listened to the conversation between the two clearly at the door, and said proudly in his heart, Wang Mazi still wants to hide it from me, isn't this still known by me.
"Boss, get me one too, just the same plate he just had."
Liu Lao Liu didn't say a word, and came to the boss.
The boss glanced at Liu Laoliu and said, "No, he was the last plate just now, you have to wait a few more days if you want to buy it." ”
Liu Lao Liu took out a 100-denomination one, thought about it and changed it to a fifty one, slapped it on the table and said, "Boss, you must keep it for yourself, I'll give you fifteen yuan more, you get me one." ”
"This ...... Okay. ”
The boss looked at it and compromised very happily.
Liu Lao Liu finally bought the album as he wished, hurried home, and put the disc away.
Soon, a mournful suona sound sounded from the speakers at home and spread outside.
Liu Lao Liu's daughter-in-law was washing vegetables, and when she heard the sound of suona, she began to cry loudly in the kitchen with red circles under her eyes after a while.
"Woo woo, mom ......"
……
At the same time, Deng Shiquan also got specific data on the sales of new albums over the weekend.
From this data, you can clearly see which groups of people are buying weekend albums.
Funeral parlor.
A folk professional suona craftsman who takes on white work.
However, these buying groups are generally the same as they have analyzed before.
However, there are some other surprises hidden in the data.
"Huh? Judging from this data, in addition to funeral parlors and villages and towns in remote areas, the best sales volume is actually the export of Southeast Asia? ”
Deng Shiquan can't figure out the logic of this, it doesn't seem to be popular in Southeast Asia on the weekend, right?
However, although he didn't understand, he could consult professionals, so he called Gan Peisheng.
Half an hour later, Gan Peisheng appeared in Deng Shiquan's general manager's office.
"Lao Gan Ma, you came just in time, help me look at the sales data of this album over the weekend, why can't I understand it?"
After Deng Shiquan waited for Gan Peisheng to sit down, he told Gan Peisheng what he had discovered before.
After listening to this, Gan Peisheng thought for a while and figured out the key.
"I see!"
"The weekend album is a funeral song, in fact, the funeral culture in Southeast Asia is similar to our China, after all, countries like Singapore and Malaysia are also dominated by Chinese."
"Our thousands of years of traditional Chinese culture has had a profound impact on the whole of Asia, and many things in these countries have learned from our Chinese, and the same is true for funeral culture."
"And this weekend album is perfectly in line with our Chinese funeral customs, and Southeast Asia is the same as our country."
Gan Peisheng's words woke up Deng Shiquan, music is still a culture in the final analysis.
The Southeast Asian cultural circle is deeply influenced by Chinese culture, and many things are similar to domestic aesthetics.
The same goes for music.
After figuring out the key points, Deng Shiquan and Gan Peisheng also suddenly began to look forward to the sales of the album over the weekend.
……
[Park Kyung-chang's new album sold more than 200,000 in half a month. 】
At the same time, Xingshi Entertainment is also overwhelmingly promoting the sales of Park Kyung-chang's new album.
In today's era when physical albums are becoming more and more declining, 200,000 album sales are indeed a miracle.
Although, these 200,000 sales include a large number of repeated purchases by female fans.
"Wow, Park Kyung-chang Oba is so powerful, except for some stars at the level of kings and queens, there are very few people who can sell more than 200,000 albums."
"Congratulations Oba!"
"Is this the strength of Oba, it's great."
"I stole all the money that my dad had hidden for a year and bought 10 Oba albums, do the Jimei think I'm doing the right thing?"
"Awesome, Jimei!"
"Hehe, I'm different, it's my boyfriend's money that's spent!"
As Park Kyung-chang's album sales have increased, his fans have become much louder online.
Of course, Mangxing Entertainment will not look at Xingshi Entertainment proudly, and followed by announcing the sales data for the weekend.
[Congratulations on the sales of the new album over the weekend exceeding 150,000.] 】
As soon as this news was announced, many netizens were taken aback.
Netizens were suddenly surprised to find that the weekend album sales were slowly narrowing the gap with Park Kyung-chang.
"Damn, the album sales over the weekend also exceeded 150,000?"
"Catching up so soon? And the album sales on the weekend were not as big as Park Kyung-chang's. ”
"No, a funeral song album can sell for 150,000?"
"Are there so many funeral parlors and suona craftsmen in China?"
At the end of last week, the gap between Park Kyung-chang's album sales and the weekend was 100,000 copies, but he didn't expect that after the end of this week, the gap between the two had narrowed to 50,000 copies.
This situation made many netizens a little incomprehensible.
They can't understand that the sales of a funeral song album can catch up with Park Kyung-chang's song album, which is amazing.
Just when netizens were thinking about the reason, a piece of news suddenly aired on the news broadcast that night.
[Singapore's former richest Chinese man XX passed away in the early hours of yesterday morning, and a grand memorial service was held in Singapore today, and ...... attended the memorial service]
There is a live connection of the memorial service in the news, and in the connected video, the background music of the memorial service is a somewhat familiar suona sound.
Soon, some netizens were shocked to find that the suona song at the memorial service turned out to be "Crying Spirit" from the new album over the weekend.
", isn't this suona song from the new album of the weekend?"
"I heard it right, at the memorial service of the richest Chinese in Singapore, there was a weekend suona song?"
"Awesome, my Master Zhou."
"It's a big groove, it's really the song "Crying Spirit" from the new album over the weekend, I've heard this song many times, and I had insomnia some time ago, and I was cured by this song."
"Something is wrong with you upstairs, you use "Crying Spirit" to treat insomnia? Aren't you afraid that you won't wake up from your sleep? ”
At the memorial service of the former richest Chinese man in Singapore, the song "Crying Spirit" from the new album appeared over the weekend.
Moreover, it appeared on the news network, and even those who wanted to question it had to keep their mouths shut.
As soon as this news was broadcast, the public relations department of Mangxing Entertainment also began to blow the horn of a counteroffensive.
Soon, Mangxing Entertainment announced the sales data of the weekend album online.
[25% of the sales of this new album over the weekend are from Southeast Asian countries such as Singapore and Malaysia......]
"Damn, the overseas sales of the new album over the weekend are so high?"
"Can funeral songs go international?"
"This is also a cultural export!"
"Awesome, my Master Zhou."
"Although this data is incredible, if you think about it carefully, there are also many Chinese in these countries, and their funeral customs should be similar to those in China, so it seems to be very reasonable."
"Where there are Chinese people, it is definitely easier to accept Chinese traditional folk music."
"It's worthy of you, on the weekend, there is no one who goes international with funeral songs."
Seeing the sales data released by Mangxing Entertainment, netizens are a little numb.
There are many domestic stars who are popular in Southeast Asian countries, but I am afraid that the world will not be able to find a second one that is popular overseas by relying on funeral songs.
It's really a scorpion - it's the only one.
Since then, the weekend's album sales have officially begun to overtake.
The third week passed quickly, and Star Stone Entertainment and Mangxing Entertainment successively announced their own album sales data for Park Kyung-chang and the weekend.
Park Kyung-chang's album sales have begun to decline after the third week, and at the end of the third week, Park Kyung-chang's sales were only 50,000 more than the previous week, with a total sales of 250,000.
Obviously, Park Kyung-chang's fans have done their best, and they have bought everything they can, and now it has reached the time when the follow-up is weak, which is also a normal phenomenon.
Not long after Park Kyung-chang's sales were announced, Mang-sung also announced his weekend album sales.
At the end of the third week, the total sales of the album over the weekend have completed the corner overtaking, and the total sales have reached 260,000.
Although it is only 10,000 more than Park Jingchang's sales, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the sales curve on the weekend is still rising.
One is a lack of succession, the other is a steady rise, and it is already obvious who wins and loses.
