Chapter 246: The No. 1 Person in China!

First things first, an apology.

Again, people sometimes fall into a blind spot in their thinking. Unfortunately, I went to a blind spot again, and I actually calculated a price of more than 500,000 with a 2% rebate on 700,000 albums.

However, at that time, I actually thought that way and wrote it that way, and it was not easy to change it later. Now I can only say that the two paragraphs about Tong Qinghuan’s settlement in the previous chapter were deleted... everyone should ignore it, it’s me Mistake.

Thanks to the man who helped catch bugs in the book review area, hanmingl, thank you!

Then, I would like to say to all readers, sorry!

There are many industries in this world that seem extremely mysterious to the outside world, but in fact, inside, all information is close to transparency. No matter how secret the news is, as long as a third person knows it, the entire industry will know it immediately.

Liao Liao signed a contract with Li Qian's studio. This is what many people can guess in advance. Li Qian and Liao Liao will definitely make a very good album together. This is also affirmed by countless people, but Li Qian Studio actually wants to do its own distribution. Can their distribution capabilities work? This is a very unreasonable thing.

It can be said that at the beginning, nine out of ten people believed that even with the banner of Liao Liao, Li Qian's studio would not be able to make much money in testing the distribution market this time-the more distribution Experienced people, the more they think so.

Because for the major record companies, every bit of advantage in distribution and the choice of every distributor is slowly cultivated and selected year after year, one record after another. No one believes that, Li Qian's studio, or Minghu Culture Company, who stepped into the distribution field in a daze, could successfully fire the first shot.

It's just that Li Qian's studio's distribution ability in the bulk cargo market is definitely not good. This is what everyone expected. After all, although Qi Jie took people all over the place to negotiate distribution contracts, it has gradually been reported back to Shuntian Mansion. Here, the major companies have already heard about it, but no one would think that the small companies signed by Qi Jie are capable of selling Liao Liao's new album with amazing results. However, at least in large national chain retailers like Dongguan Bookstore, they are still very optimistic about the sales prospects of "Grateful Heart".

After all, Dongguan Bookstore itself is a powerful channel, and Liao Liao's album will definitely sell well. As long as the supply is sufficient, will this album still sell well?

But the result is that the subordinate stores of Dongguan Bookstore only took two days at most to buy out the stock, but unfortunately, the main store did not transfer the stock down—this led to the "Grateful Heart" The results of the first week's ranking left everyone dumbfounded.

In the first week, there were 10,000 tickets. This should not be Liao Liao's achievement!

Gradually, some private little news spread out, many people couldn't help shaking their heads in disdain when they suddenly realized, and responded with a contemptuous sneer at some small tricks that could make the entire industry indignant.

Then, the Voice of China Golden Melody On-Demand list was released, and those fans in the music circle who liked Liao Liao, with a sigh of relief, finally gradually smoothed it out——

"Grateful Heart", seven songs were on the on-demand list at once!

And if "The Great River Goes East" is added, Liao Liao alone has eight songs on the Golden Melody Chart at the same time! It seems that suddenly, the normal Liao Liao, who would kill the charts as soon as he releases an album, really came back!

First place, "Dream Camel Bell".

Second place, "Happy Home".

Third place, "Desert of Passion".

Fourth place, "Grateful Heart".

Fifth place, "Last Night's Star".

The seventh place, "The Great River Goes East".

The eighth place, "Xintianyou".

Tenth place, "Olive Tree".

In fact, for this record, the industry is still quite disappointed. After all, two years later, the combination of Li Qian and Liao Liao has become synonymous with absolute excellence in everyone's minds, and Liao Liao's singing skills and strength have already conquered most of the ears in this circle, so , the more professional listeners are, the less likely they are to be satisfied. They are all eager to hear more new ideas, new attitudes, and new ways from this joint album by Liao Liao and Li Qian.

However, it is a pity that Liao Liao's album has almost everything. No matter who it is, they can't find any obvious shortcomings and loopholes. ", you want ballads, "Crescent Lake", "Olive Tree", "The Past Can Only Be Reminisced", are all absolute masterpieces, even to those picky ears, these songs are qualified to be grouped together on the classics What's more, Liao Liao also produced another classic country ballad, "Xintianyou".

Then, "As You Want" and "Desert of Passion" both have the attitude that rock works must have and are full of power, while "Happy Hometown" and "Last Night's Stars" and "Grateful Heart" are popular POPs that can hit the charts. It is catchy enough, especially works like "Grateful Heart" and "Olive Tree", which are the absolute hits of the album, are also full of positive energy, enough to make people feel like singing and sighing three times!

But, but, but, that's all.

That's Liao Liaojia Li Qian!

This level of level, this level of shooting, for the vast majority of ordinary fans, even for slightly picky fans, it can be called an absolute feast, an absolute gluttonous feast. For some people who are really at the top in this circle, they still feel that something is missing.

Such a record is safe enough, and it is also a big hit, but it lacks the fearless drive that the two of them showed when they joined forces in the past!

You know, Li Qian first appeared in this circle, whether it is the urban light rock love songs pioneered by works such as "Perseverance" and "Wild Flowers", or the Chinese style full of Chinese classical charm such as "Half Pot Yarn" and "The Sound of the Waves Are Still". But they are all genre-breaking works, and Li Qian appears as a pioneer and innovator.

But now, Li Qian's works are still strong, but they are still wandering in the circle he drew in the past, and there is no innovation anymore!

Therefore, when the entire industry and the entire entertainment circle were obsessed with and admiring Liao Liao's new album, Xie Mingyuan called Li Qian directly and said, "Your album is great. , even if your channel is not good, it should not be a big problem if you sell several million copies. But... this should not be your level!"

When Li Qian heard this, he just smiled and asked, "Then what do you think should be my level?"

Xie Mingyuan responded: "New ideas, new ideas, new categories, new attitudes, new skills... In short, you are Li Qian! How can you not come up with new things for us to worship?"

Li Qian laughed loudly and replied, "I'll just take this as a compliment to me!"

Then, after a pause, he said, "The main reason is... I don't think I'm happy! I think I'm too tired!"

Xie Mingyuan was surprised when he heard the words, "You have only made two albums after several months of hard work, so you are tired? Then I will make seven or eight albums a year, what should I say?"

Li Qian laughed when he heard the words, thought for a while, and said, "I do what I want to do, and I don't do what I don't want to do, so that I won't be tired. Now, I open a studio, I signed Liao Liao and He Runqing, so I have to be responsible for them, I have to increase their sales, of course I am tired!"

Xie Mingyuan was speechless for a while when he heard the words, then he sighed and said, "I also think it's the easiest time to play music alone." Li Qian just smiled when he heard the words, but Xie Mingyuan on the other end of the phone immediately returned Said: "However, you are a small studio, and you already have two big queens in your hands. Just like this, you only have two albums a year. You can be content! You can make a lot of money, and you don't have much work. I I'm almost envious of you! What else do you want?"

Hearing this, Li Qian shrugged with a smile, and said to the other end of the phone, "You will know what I want soon."

Xie Mingyuan was stunned when he heard the words. After a while, he thought for a while and said, "You mean Runqing? Hehe, I'm really curious about this point. I really want to know what kind of flavor the sweet song queen you created will be like. !"

Li Qian laughed when he heard the words, and replied: "It's delicious, it sounds good, it looks good, and it has a charming taste."

Xie Mingyuan laughed out loud.

... ... ...

On June 3rd, Dongguan Bookstore's album sales rankings were released on time.

In this week, the sales data of "Grateful Heart" finally began to return to normal—of course, once it recovered, it would immediately become abnormally normal.

During the week from May 27th to June 2nd, that is, within the second week of the release of "Grateful Heart", as the main store of Dongguan Bookstore began to resume supply to its chain stores, I don't know Is it due to the fact that it was out of stock before, this album burst out with unprecedented energy in Dongguan Bookstore all of a sudden!

50864 sheets in a single week!

Absolute number one!

The whole world was shocked!

You know, Liao Liao set a record of 38,552 copies sold in a single week at Dongguan Bookstore in the previous "The Sound of the Waves Are Still", firmly occupying the first place in the best-selling album in China!

That achievement is already crazy enough, and so far, on the Dongguan Bookstore's historical ranking list, only Liao Liao and Wuxingwusu are the only singers who can achieve more than 30,000 copies in a single order. In addition, regardless of whether it is Huang Yuqing and Li Junru who were popular last year, Zhen Zhen who returned from the king, or Zhou Mo who made a comeback earlier this year, even if they are really popular, they are still unable to break through the 30,000 ticket. Wire.

Therefore, the previous Liao Liao has been considered the undisputed first person in the domestic music scene!

But now, she once again broke the sales record set and maintained by herself in one fell swoop, and even raised this figure by more than 12,000 copies!

If we say that in the past, big-name singers like Zhen Zhen, Huang Yuqing, Liu Mingliang, Zhao Xinfu, Li Junru, who are capable and capable, would not be able to deal with Liao Liao and Wu Xing Wu Su who broke 30,000 sheets in a single week. They will be very greedy, and they will be brave after knowing the shame, and they will target them one after another, and even think about breaking the single-week sales record of 38,552 set by Liao Liao countless times. Now, a new monument stands in the Right now, 50,000 copies were broken in a single week! Even someone as powerful as Liu Mingliang, Zhao Xinfu, Zhen Zhen, as ambitious as Huang Yuqing, or as Li Junru, can't help being intimidated!

This is simply a statistic that is enough to make everyone despair!

According to the law of 20 times, the sales data of "Grateful Heart" in the whole country in this week alone is very likely to directly break through 1 million!

One million sales nationwide in a single week!

What is this concept?

You must know that even though the domestic music scene is booming year by year, the goal of most singers is still to achieve a total sales volume of one million and obtain a platinum certification! And once the platinum certification is obtained, it means that the singer has stepped into the second tier!

But this sales volume, for Liao Liao, is very likely to be just a single week's sales data!

Of course, everyone knew that this result was very abnormal and completely beyond common sense. Even Qi Jie and Liao Liao knew it well.

In fact, when the time came to the next week, when Dongguan Bookstore's album sales rankings were released on time again, this "Grateful Heart" really began to return to "normal" sales after a week of crazy sales.

37559 sheets in a single week!

Of course, there is no doubt that it is the first again!

This data is second only to the 50,864 and 38,552 created by Liao Liao himself, ranking third in history!

For Qi Jie, holding the leaderboard in her hand, looking at the thick stack of reminder orders, and the installment sales data reported by the distributors in various provinces and cities below, she is of course very pleasantly surprised and excited . But for Li Qian and Liao Liao, such a sales volume is not a surprise. If you have to find one word to describe their mood after learning the sales data, there is probably only one word that is suitable, then That is: relief.

Yes, a relief.

They are not worried about the quality of the album. They are also not worried about the album's charting power in Dongguan Bookstore and its ability to chart in the Voice of China's Golden Songs On Demand Chart, but Dongguan Bookstore is also good. Whether it is other large chain bookstores or supermarket chains, they are only a part of the entire record sales market. What they are really worried about is that there may be tens of thousands of audio-visual records in the country in the bulk market. The distribution capacity of the store.

And now, even though they only got all the data for the first week of listing, they still heaved a sigh of relief—the facts have proved that Liao Liao's reputation, coupled with the excellent quality of the album, is enough to directly open up a market channel, Even if you have nothing before, you can still create a distribution and sales channel out of thin air!

Of course, other record companies may be able to find out some details about the specific sales data, but it is certainly impossible to grasp all of them. Grass Team Studio has actually accomplished such a feat.

It is conceivable that when the sales of this album are finally announced, the entire music circle will be shocked again!

When He Runqing took the initiative to call Liao Liao to congratulate him, Liao Liao jokingly said: "I've already fired the first shot, sister, it's up to you next time!"

He Runqing was silent for a moment, and said affirmatively: "I have confidence in Li Qian, and I also have confidence in myself."

... ... ...

Sony Records, in the music director's office, Xie Mingyuan shook the sales chart in his hand, smiled and said to Zou Wenhuai and Zhou Mo who were sitting on the sofa: "This is Liao Liao, this is Li Qian! The number one person in China is well-deserved." !"

Zou Wenhuai nodded with emotion, sighed, and then couldn't help but turned to look at Zhou Mo.

Of course, it was just a glance, and then he looked away, pretending he didn't know anything.

At this time, Xie Mingyuan couldn't help but said to Zhou Mo: "Mom, how did Li Qian offend you? Why do you disagree with the company to invite him to make an album for you?"

Speaking of this, he waved his hand and said: "Don't worry, I'm not Huang Dazhong, I'm not so petty! As long as you nod, I will personally go to help you hire someone, don't say 16%, so what if 20% We can afford it! Although my friendship with Li Qian is not very deep, but anyway, I still have a little friendship. In addition to the matter of He Runqing, he owes me a little favor. As long as I ask, he will definitely agree! At that time, with your voice, plus his talent...the next album, maybe you will be able to climb to a new level!"

After a pause, he said with emotion: "Look at the five elements and my principles! Just such a combination, those five girls, in addition to being more beautiful, except for having longer legs, if they really want to speak and sing, the five of them added together , can’t compare with you! So as long as they leave Li Qian, they will be beaten back to their original shape immediately, as long as Li Qian is added, they will immediately sweep everything! It’s been four months since their new album was released? It’s said The shipment volume has exceeded 5 million copies! Now, except for one Liao Liao, almost no one can overwhelm them! But, regardless of Liao Liao or Wu Xing Wu Su, all of their best-selling albums are made by Li Qian Yes! Well, I have to admit, when it comes to making an album, I am not as good as Li Qian!"

Having said that, he smiled and said, "Why don't you think about it?"

Zhou Mo didn't respond yet, Zou Wenhuai couldn't help but nodded hurriedly, turned to look at Zhou Mo, and said, "Yes, yes, Mr. Xie is right, you... think about it again! A little... small conflict, It's not necessary, is it?"

Zhou Mo glanced at him when he heard this, but didn't speak.

Xie Mingyuan put down the documents in his hand, walked out from behind the desk, and said with a smile as he walked, "Is this good? I treat guests, and I will be responsible for calling Li Qian out. When the time comes, you and Lao Zou will also go there , everyone sat down at the same table, I will handle the old peacemaker! As long as there is not too much conflict, if you talk about it in a few words, it will be over? I don't believe that there can be much hatred between the two of you. , I think, as long as you are willing to give me this face, Li Qian will not be angry with you as a woman, Lao Zou, are you right?"

Of course Zou Wenhuai nodded quickly, "Yes, yes, that's it! Mr. Xie is right!" Then he touched Zhou Mo's arm and persuaded him softly, "Think again? Don't let Mr. Xie down. What a kindness!"

Zhou Mo finally raised her head, looked at Xie Mingyuan who was sitting opposite her, and asked calmly, "You just said the number one person in the country? Who? Li Qian? Liao Liao?"

This topic has been going on for quite a while. Xie Mingyuan was a little taken aback when Zhou Mo asked this question suddenly, but immediately, he smiled and said, "Is it important? Li Qian makes music, writes songs, and makes albums. Doubtful, the number one person in China! If He Runqing’s album comes out next and he can give me a surprise, I don’t think anyone will be dissatisfied with his status as the number one gold medal pusher in China! And Liao Liao, that is absolutely Arguably the number one singer in China! So, they are all number one in China!"

Zhou Mo nodded, then lowered her head, a line of words that anyone could understand was clearly written on her face: I am not happy!

She said "Oh" and said, "I see."

Xie Mingyuan was stunned and puzzled, and turned to look at Zou Wenhuai.

Zou Wenhuai pursed his lips, frowned, shrugged, and spread his hands, looking helpless.
