Chapter 289 Which Album Did the Beautiful College Teacher Buy?
Online, news media reported one after another.
The first day of the official release of the new album "Transparent" by Li Qiang, a well-known first-tier singer, to the public.
Online malls and offline physical record stores opened for sale at the same time, and the sales were very hot. In first- and second-tier cities, many record stores were not full, but they were much busier than before. This is the appeal of a first-tier singer!
"Today I went to buy Li Qiang's new album. Oh my god, there were so many people. I almost didn't buy it."
"Hahaha, I bought two copies and listened to them. He is indeed a first-line singer. He sings really well, especially the title song, which is a masterpiece."
"Yes, it is a good quality album. I was not disappointed."
"So many people bought it? I will buy one and listen to it."
"I didn't buy it in the record store. I bought it on the online mall. But the delivery is slow and it hasn't arrived yet."
"I don't know if Zhang Wenhua's "Stronger" the day after tomorrow can reach this level."
"It is definitely not as good as Li Qiang's new album, but the title song of Zhang Wenhua's new album is a new song written by Teacher Tan Yue. I am a little curious."
"I am also curious. Since I listened to "Wukong", I followed the clues and searched for several of Teacher Tan Yue's previous songs and listened to them. They are really good. I didn't pay attention to them before."
……
The music section of the official website of the State Administration of Culture has data on album sales, but it says that there is a 5% to 10% error.
Because an important source of statistical data is based on the number of albums released by several major record companies, the longer and later the album is released, the smaller the error in the data.
According to statistics from the official website of the General Administration of Culture, Li Qiang's new album "Transparent" sold 131,000 copies on May 22. On the second day, it sold 124,000 copies.
This result is quite good even for a first-line singer.
The momentum of "Transparent" can be said to be quite strong.
…
On the 23rd, at night.
Chang'an Building, Brilliant Entertainment Company, in the office of Wei Yu, director of the music department.
Wei Yu hung up the phone with Zhang Wenhua, put down the phone, took off his glasses, and rubbed his tired eyes.
"Stronger" will be officially released tomorrow, and Wei Yu has been busy today for this, and has been working overtime in the company until now.
However, apart from public institutions, which company does not work overtime?
Wei Yu was one of the earliest employees of Brilliant Entertainment. When he came in, Brilliant Entertainment was not a company, but a studio. Wei Yu was not a director at that time, but just an ordinary employee of the company. It was only after he made achievements in his later efforts that Chen Ziyu appointed him as the head and director of the music department.
It can be said that Wei Yu has a strong sense of belonging to Brilliant Entertainment, and the annual performance of the music department is also linked to his own year-end bonus. Whether for the company or for himself, Wei Yu is very dedicated to his work.
Moreover, this afternoon, the boss called him over to ask about Zhang Wenhua's new album.
After all, Zhang Wenhua is also one of the pillar artists of the company. Brilliant Entertainment does not have signed top artists, which is what we call the king and queen, actor and actress.
The highest-ranking artists in Brilliant Entertainment are these first-line artists including Zhang Wenhua.
And Zhang Wenhua is different from other artists in that Zhang Wenhua is a top-tier first-line artist pushed out by the company and the company's own trainee.
Many years ago, the boss Chen Ziyu personally led artists, and Zhang Wenhua was one of the artists led by the boss at that time. Relying on the relationship between Zhang Wenhua and the boss, no one dared to look down on Zhang Wenhua even though he was starting to go downhill now.
"Tsk tsk tsk."
Wei Yu frowned, shook his head and sighed.
The boss called him over in the afternoon to ask about Zhang Wenhua's new album, which also means that the boss has been paying attention to Zhang Wenhua's new album to be released tomorrow, so he can't be careless.
The sales momentum of Li Qiang's new album "Transparent" has been very good in the past two days. Just looking at the huge album sales, other singers of the same period can tremble.
However, Wei Yu also bought Li Qiang's "Transparent" to listen to it as soon as possible. From the overall quality of the album, Li Qiang's new album is indeed much better than Zhang Wenhua's new album. But there is one point that "Transparent" is far inferior to "Stronger", that is, the title song of "Transparent" is not at the same level as "Stronger".
At least that's what Zhang Wenhua heard. He's not a professional singer, but he's been a music director for so long, and he's always been engaged in music work. He's not good at singing and writing songs, but his musical aesthetic ability has improved.
Wei Yu was very lucky that he was so excited at the time that he dragged Zhang Wenhua to find Tan Yue. If he hadn't asked Tan Yue to create this song "Stronger", Zhang Wenhua would definitely lose to Li Qiang this time.
It's not wrong for Zhang Wenhua, a popular artist, to lose to Li Qiang.
But it's foreseeable that he will be beaten badly by Li Qiang.
Such a comparison is very embarrassing for Brilliant Entertainment.
And Wei Yu has been with Boss Chen for so long, and he has also figured out some of Boss Chen's temper, stingy and face-saving.
Based on the previous songs alone, Wei Yu didn't think Zhang Wenhua's new album would make any waves, but now with Tan Yue's new song "Stronger", it's not certain.
Such a good song as the main song, the performance must be good.
At least, because of the existence of "Stronger", Wei Yu can let go of some of his worries.
However, it is useless to think more now, and it depends on the specific sales of "Stronger" tomorrow.
The next day, "Stronger" was officially released to the public.
During this period, the news that Li Qiang and Zhang Wenhua will release new albums at the same time has been hyped up. Li Qiang's new album was released two days ago, and Zhang Wenhua's new album was finally released today.
Although Zhang Wenhua, a traffic artist for many years, is about to go downhill, he still has a lot of traffic.
As soon as the new album "Stronger" was released, it caused heated discussions among many netizens on the Internet.
Some fans of Zhang Wenhua and some netizens chose to support the new album "Stronger".
"After waiting for half a year, Wenhua finally released a new album. I have already placed an order. Support him!"
"Come on, Brother Hua, you are the best!"
"I am not a fan of Zhang Wenhua, but I plan to buy an album later because I like Teacher Tan Yue's songs."
"Hahaha, me too. I really like "Wukong". I didn't like Zhang Wenhua at first, but for Teacher Tan's new song, I also bought an album."
"Come on, Wenhua, support you. No matter how the album sales are in the end, you have to be fine!"
"I looked at the data on the official website of the General Administration of Culture. Li Qiang's new album has sold very well. Brother Hua is in danger. My husband just gave me some private money. I want to buy ten copies to support Brother Hua!"
"Wow, I just went to the record store next door and bought a copy of "Stronger". The title song "Stronger" is so good, right?"
There are also many netizens who don't buy it. With the development and improvement of the entertainment industry, traffic artists have become less and less popular, not to mention Zhang Wenhua, a veteran traffic artist.
"Albums of traffic artists like Zhang Wenhua are worthless. Only fools would buy them."
"Tsk tsk tsk, I really don't understand why Zhang Wenhua would choose this time to release a new album? He dares to compete head-on with a powerful singer like Li Qiang. I don't know if he looks down on Li Qiang or is too confident in himself."
"Wow, in terms of album quality, Zhang Wenhua's "Stronger" is probably not even worthy of Li Qiang's "Transparent". It will definitely be beaten. In terms of popularity and heat, if we talk about Zhang Wenhua's golden peak period in the past two years, Li Qiang may not be able to compare, but now Zhang Wenhua, a traffic artist, has been popular for several years. You know, traffic The traffic of artists is originally of low stickiness. Without high-quality works as a foundation, fans come and go quickly. Zhang Wenhua's current traffic may not be comparable to Li Qiang's. "
"I'm not talking nonsense. Those young and popular stars are all well-dressed. If they dare to appear in front of me, I will punch their heads! I just can't stand those sissy guys."
"Zhang Wenhua is different. He is a hard-working artist among the popular artists. He is not sissy, but my money is not blown by the wind. I am not his fan, so I will definitely not spend money on him or buy his album. "
The major music forums are in a mess.
Some people are talking about "Transparent", and some are talking about "Stronger".
Some people think that those who buy "Stronger" are fools, and some people think that those who say they are fools are fools.
Yangzhou.
University Town.
Sun Ya is a freshman counselor at a first-class university. She just graduated with a doctorate and chose to stay in school to teach. Because her age is not much different from that of the students, she is very popular with them. Although she is very busy and tired during her time as a counselor, she is also very happy.
In the morning, Sun Ya got off work at 11 o'clock.
She now rents a house in the school's family quarters, which is not far from the campus. She just walked out of the campus and saw the bustling university town outside. She planned to buy a stir-fried dish at a roadside restaurant and take it back to eat.
When passing by a record store, Sun Ya was suddenly stunned when she saw the posters at the door.
There were posters of Li Qiang and Zhang Wenhua at the door. As the two singers with the biggest albums released during this period, the record store attaches great importance to them.
What made Sun Ya stunned was not these two people, but seeing the poster of Zhang Wenhua at the door of the record store, she suddenly thought of another person.
Sun Ya usually likes to listen to songs. Last year, by chance, she saw a video and heard a song called "Song for Myself".
The title of the song is very strange. Sun Ya was attracted by the strange title, otherwise she might have missed it. What is it? Is it a song written by the creator for himself?
Out of curiosity, Sun Ya listened to "Song for Myself" once. After listening to it, Sun Ya added the video she saw by chance to her favorites and listened to it again when she was free.
She didn't deliberately ask who the man in the video was, but later as Tan Yue became famous, Sun Ya automatically knew that the man singing in the video was Tan Yue.
Gradually, whenever Sun Ya saw news reports about Tan Yue on the Internet, she would consciously pay attention to it and began to pay attention to it deliberately. As expected, she did not disappoint her. She discovered that Tan Yue also had a song "Young and Promising", which was also a rare good song.
Gradually, because of Tan Yue, Sun Ya, who seldom watched variety shows, began to watch them. Her favorite was not the famous "Tucao Conference" or "Happy Comedian", but the program "Tonight's 80s Talk Show" that Tan Yue had done on Jishui City TV Station.
Sun Ya had watched "Journey to the West", but she didn't like it as much as many people did, so she didn't have such strong feelings for "Wukong". However, Sun Ya had listened to it many times, and the artistic conception in "Wukong" was still very contagious.
A few days ago, Sun Ya saw a news on the Internet saying that Tan Yue had written a new song, which was the title song of Zhang Wenhua's new album "Stronger". Sun Ya paid attention to it at the time, but because she was too busy with work, she forgot about it for a while. Today, she suddenly saw the promotion of Zhang Wenhua's new album at the door of the record store, and Sun Ya suddenly remembered it.
Without thinking much, Sun Ya walked straight into the record store.
There were many customers in the store, most of them were students from various colleges in the university town. Some bought "Transparent" and some bought "Stronger". Sun Ya simply counted and found that more than 80% of them bought "Transparent", and only a small number of people came to buy Zhang Wenhua's new album.
This made Sun Ya, the counselor, very pleased. This shows that young people nowadays have made progress. When she was in college, it was very popular to have fresh meat and traffic stars. It seemed that everyone around them was chasing those fresh meats blindly.
Today's students are much better than they were at that time. At least they value the quality of the work more, not the appearance or being led by others.
Sun Ya smiled and nodded with satisfaction.
She took a Zhang Wenhua album from the shelf, walked to the front desk to queue up, and soon it was her turn. Sun Ya handed the album in her hand to the store owner and smiled: "Boss, an album."
"Forty-five yuan."
"Okay, I'll scan the code for you."
Sun Ya paid the money and walked out of the record store with the album.
Behind her, there were several men and women, who should be her companions, pointing at Sun Ya's back.
"Huh? Isn't that Teacher Sun?"
"Yes, it's Teacher Sun. With such a flat body, there's no one else but Teacher Sun."
"Wow, if Teacher Sun hears this, I bet you won't graduate."
"Did Teacher Sun buy an album just now?"
"Yes, I don't know what album she bought, it should be Li Qiang's album, right?"
"That's for sure. How could such a mature and high-level intellectual buy Zhang Wenhua's album? She must have bought Li Qiang's "Transparent". Who dares to bet with me?"
On the other side, Sun Ya bought food, took the album, and returned to her home.
Putting the food on the coffee table, Sun Ya brought the laptop from the bedroom, put it on the coffee table, took out the CD from the album, and put it into the computer.
Soon, the songs of Zhang Wenhua's new album appeared in the computer.
The first song was the title song "Stronger".
