023 Mudslides in the Chinese music scene
1997 was a year of intense Chinese music.
this year.
With the encouragement of his mother, the introverted boy stood on the stage and sang the original song "Sleepwalking Wings".
Chinese king Wang Leehom released his fourth album "Blank Paper", which made Sony notice him and soared ever since.
R&B king Tao Jiji released his first album "David Tao", creating a Chinese R&B genre.
The Chinese music scene is so exciting......
Xu Chen, who dreams of being the king of world pop, has a steamed bun in his mouth, pedals a bicycle, and leisurely goes to "Modern Sky" to discuss the release of the album.
In this era, digital music is still just the "idea" of science fiction, and singers release albums, the most common being "tapes" and "discs".
Newspapers often advertise a certain singer, and the new album has set a "platinum sale".
The "platinum" in this is that when the "CD" is recorded, there will be a white metal as a mold, and a white metal can record up to 50,000 records.
Ren Xianqi's "heart is too soft", claiming that the album sales exceeded 26 million.
But in fact, "the heart is too soft" is in the treasure island, and it is only certified as "double platinum".
The most popular album in Baodao is Zhang Huimei's album "BAD BOY", which has sold more than 20 platinums, and "Listening to the Sea" in the album is the most popular song in Baodao.
Ren Xianqi is ready to fade out of the music scene.
Who would have thought that "too soft heart" unexpectedly became popular in the mainland, and the mainland blossomed with treasure island incense, and Ren Xianqi has since opened the "Heavenly King" road.
Baodao and Xiangjiang music scenes, for the first time, saw the prosperity of the mainland market, and they have settled down.
Mainland singer.
In 1997, the more well-known singer Na Ying did not release an album, and Liu Huan signed a contract with Sony Records in September and released the album "Remember Liu Huan".
On the "National General Evaluation List", the three songs of Liu Huan's album ranked in the top 20, and the album sales exceeded 400,000, and the certification was "eight platinum".
The princess released two albums, one in Cantonese and one in Chinese, the Cantonese album was dismal, with only 200,000 sales, and the Chinese album only 300,000.
Wu Bai released the album "Summer Night Wind", with album sales of 370,000.
It can be seen.
The album sales of mainland singers and Hong Kong and Taiwan singers are almost completely different, and there are almost no million-dollar sales records in the mainland.
Daolang's album sales exceeded one million, and the mainland music scene shouted and shouted, this is the reason, the flying dragon rode the face.
Xu Chen's first album has very low requirements, he estimates that the album sales will be 18,000, achieving the achievement of "Golden Record", breaking through 50,000, and certifying platinum singers, which is almost the beginning of Tianhu.
If the sales exceed 100,000, the certification "double platinum".
Who is Xu Chen in the mainland music scene!
………………
10:00 a.m.
Xu Chen was downstairs in the company and met Shen Lihui.
The two just met yesterday for a drink, and their friendship is deep.
Shen Lihui was very enthusiastic, and when he came up, he put his arm around Xu Chen's shoulders and said enthusiastically: "Brother Xu, you are here, please, welcome to visit "Modern Sky". ”
Xu Chen raised his eyes.
The office building in front of you, which can be called the "diamond building" in the slum, stands tall, and the glass curtain wall shines brightly in the sun.
Xu Chen is full of confidence, with the cooperation of seniors and rich second generations in the music industry like Shen Lihui, why worry about the poor sales of "Legend"!
The building is luxuriously equipped with an elevator, which is rare in Peking at present.
The two arrived on the eighth floor, and Shen Lihui took Xu Chen to 801.
The advertising paper of the last company when it retreated had not been torn, the dust was thick, and the chairs with broken legs and the stools with missing corners were piled up into a hill.
Shen Lihui touched the bridge of his nose, a little embarrassed and said, "Brother Xu, you know, our company is currently in order." Well, it looks a little shabby, but our money is well spent. ”
Xu Chen waved his hand and said calmly: "Brother Shen, cooperation depends on people, difficulties are only temporary, I believe that "Modern Sky" will become the first label in the mainland. ”
Shen Lihui grinned: "Brother Xu, if you think so, I'm relieved." ”
The two walked into the company.
Xu Chen's heart sank instantly......
Nima!
Companies can't be said to be simple, after all, at least humble have employees.
"Modern Sky" is currently at a front desk, and the short and sturdy mother-in-law is cleaning up, Shen Lihui said with a smile: "Brother Xu, this is my wife Xiaobai, the company has not recruited employees at present, she came over to arrive." ”
"Sister-in-law, hello, hello."
Xiao Bai squinted, didn't raise his head, waved the broom, and said lightly: "You are Xu Chen, Lao Shen, among these fox friends and dogs, there are also young guys, not bad." ”
Xu Chen sneered.
"Hahaha...... Brother Xu, sister-in-law said that you are handsome......" Shen Lihui was afraid of guilt, his eyes signaled to Xu Chen, and the two of them bent their backs and fled to the back room.
Shen Lihui leaned his back, closed the door softly, straightened his waist, and trembled coldly: "Brother Xu, don't pay attention to her, in the woman's opinion, music is a dream, does she have a dream!" I don't listen to the song, and I don't bask either, it's vulgar! ”
Xu Chen vaguely understood.
Shen Lihui was middle-aged and rebellious, and his wife had to engrave her dissatisfaction on her face, but fortunately the broom didn't beat him.
"Brother Xu, did you bring a sample of the album?"
Shen Lihui is under a lot of pressure.
If he fails, he can only go back to inherit the factory, and he has no doubt that he died in 1997.
Originally.
Modern Sky is expected to be established in December, and he has plenty of time to plan for the risks.
Right now.
I hope I didn't bet on the wrong treasure, Xu Chen's album "Song is like its person"!
Shen Lihui is middle-aged, and once again has the anxiety of spending candles in the cave room.
The bride sat on the bed with a red hijab, is she a sable chan, or a female Wu Song with five big and three thick......
His palms were sweating.
Xu Chen took out the album sample, the album sample was a tape, and with a click, a sound came out of the tape recorder.
"Loyal to the Country".
The smell of killing came to the face, and the drums were heavy, as if a storm was coming, and lightning split the earth.
Immediately following ......
The "sonorous" sword is unsheathed, the sound of the horse's hooves is broken, the banner is hunting and hunting, and a high-spirited and fierce voice sings wantonly: "The wolf smoke rises, and the rivers and mountains look north to ......"
"The dragon flag rolls, the horse is torn, and the sword qi is like frost......"
“……”
If Tu Honggang's version deduces Yue Fei's sorrow and majesty.
So.
Xu Chen's "Loyal to the Country", the first impression given to people is that he indulged in wanton and fierce Han Dynasty Huo Quai.
Horses' hooves galloped across the grasslands, the bright red battle flags were waving in the hunting wind, and the young general led a large army to pursue the enemy thousands of miles away, and the enemy fled in a hurry under the heavy iron cavalry like a mountain......
The end of a song.
Shen Lihui's face was serious, his eyebrows were slightly frowned, his face was solemn, and his body was straight.
The second song "Heaven and Earth Dragon Scales".
This song is magnificent, and Xu Chen's singing voice is a little tongue-in-cheek.
The song ends.
Shen Lihui's face turned cloudy, nodded and said: "Brother Xu, your "Loyal to the Country" is too picky about the audience, some people will like it, some people will hate it, this "Heaven and Earth Dragon Scales" is very friendly, the song is very groundbreaking, it is undoubtedly refreshing for the current Chinese music scene, I think the major awards will like it very much." ”
Shen Lihui has a strong professional quality and sharp vision.
"Loyal to the Country" has an unfinished feeling, "Heaven and Earth Dragon Scales" is a technical stream, if it can win the award, even if the album sales are almost good, it can gild the new label, which is a good deal.
The third song is "As Wished".
In this song, Shen Lihui leaned back, against the back of the chair, cloudy and sunny, and quipped: "Brother Xu, Liu Defa only has one song "Chinese People", you are the first Chinese person, Mingzhu returns, this time node is very good!" ”
Hear this song.
Shen Lihui came back to his senses.
Xu Chen's choice of songs is not a blind choice, this is a return to the pearl, such a reason, a few songs suddenly have a big head!
Whether the song is popular or not is really a metaphysical problem.
"Legend" was created by Li Jian and given to his wife, and it turned out to be the princess's masterpiece.
"In the Spring" Wang Feng's voice is hoarse, tepid, "Rising Sun Masculine" two laymen, a broken guitar, singing all over the country.
Time, geography, and people, as long as there are two, there is the potential for fire.
Xu Chen's album. At least for the rest of the day, in all fairness, the songs on the album are all one-in-a-million hits, and "geography" is also available.
People are not extravagant.
Zhang Huimei's album "BAD Boy" was released in June, Tu Honggang's "Huaxia Kung Fu", Li Wen's "Every Time I Miss You......
In 1997, the Chinese music gods fought, and there was no time to stop.
The eleventh song is "Single Love Song".
This song is clear to Chinese people that in the top ten golden songs of 1999, Xu Chen was afraid of hitting the street, so he still chose a "brainwashing divine comedy".
Shen Lihui's face was sunny, looking at the eyes of the monster, he smacked his tongue and said, "Brother Xu, are you really the Brother Xu I know?" You're not going to be a fairy, damn it, you're too bullying with this album! ”
Xu Chen smiled and said, "Brother Shen, if you release my album, I naturally can't let you lose money." ”
Twelve songs are finished.
The last song "Jade Belt Bridge", hearing this song, Shen Lihui was completely conquered.
Energetic, yelling, and excited: "Brother Xu, I am 100% sure now, you must be the future king of Chinese language." ”
Twelve songs, the first one is different, the lyrics and music scores are all Xu Chen alone.
Xu Chen is not popular, and heaven is intolerable!
