Chapter 322

On March 14th, Tuesday, the day when "Fake Monk" was released, many fans also bought this album that was in place nationwide at the same time.

The current four beauties bands are of course completely incomparable in their appeal to superstar singers like Liao Liao, He Runqing, and Zhao Xinfu, but Qi Jie's previous promotional work is not for nothing.

Since He Runqing's concert in November last year, especially after the live video of the concert was broadcast on Shuntianfu Satellite TV and Huaxia TV, until the last month, it was pulled out from the live video and made The MVs of "Nothing" and "No Place to Shame" were played on a loop on major TV stations. It can be said that the four beauties bands have already gained considerable popularity.

In particular, although pirates like the Four Great Beauties, who were not well-known at the time and could not bring appeal, basically seldom put their names on the back of the song when making pirated tapes, but the sound, and music Style, these two things, do not need to be named. All fans who like "Nothing" and "Landless" after listening to it will pay attention almost subconsciously as long as they hear a similar style.

In particular, perhaps the vast majority of pirates would not deliberately label the names of the Four Great Beauties, but at that time Li Qianke was already full of gossips and was considered very popular, so there were actually many pirates in "Nothing" and " At the back of these two songs, the name of "Li Qian" is marked.

Combining these few times, coupled with Li Qian's popularity of gossip that was flying all over the sky before, and his appeal in the emerging online media, he will maintain a certain level of confidence in the album "Fake Monk". There are quite a few fans who pay attention to and even have been looking forward to the release of this album.

At the very least, the current four beauties bands, even though they only released their first albums, definitely cannot be viewed at the level of rookies.

Therefore, on March 14, the voice of "Fake Monk" began to sound in the streets and alleys of many cities.

The quality and level of the songs, as well as the quality and level of the entire album, needless to say.

Basically, whether it is because the fans have been paying attention to this album before, so the fans who bought it at the first time, or the fans who were attracted by a certain song played in the video store and bought it, after buying it back, there are at least More than 90% will not be disappointed, and to a large extent, at least 70% to 80% of fans will even be extremely pleasantly surprised after buying it back.

If you evaluate it from a relatively calm onlooker's point of view several years later, this album that incorporates the essence of rock development for more than 30 years in another time and space, even if it is compared with "Driving Pig West" by the Flying Band Once, it is absolutely possible not to lose the wind. For rock fans, this is of course a surprise.

So, after sending people down to several cities and gradually getting rough sales feedback, Qi Jie finally began to relax a little.

This album did not have the direct explosive sales like Liao Liao and He Runqing, but judging from the sporadic feedback received in just one day, it should be said that the sales momentum is good.

Not only those who have been paying attention and looking forward to it will go directly to buy it and leave, there are also many fans who are attracted by the music that is playing, go to the store to ask, and then buy the album.

It is a good sign that it can attract new fans, and the proportion of new fans is quite high!

…………

After "Fake Monk" was released, it also attracted the attention of a large number of media and music critics.

For music critics, this is an album that contains two top rock works such as "Nothing" and "No Place to Shame", and the new songs in it are no better than the ones that have been praised by them before. The difference between the two songs, so for such a rock album that appeared in the era of rock decline, of course everyone is willing to pay 12 points of attention. For the shock and impact it brings to oneself, it is also generously praised.

As for the media from all over the country, the four beauties bands are Li Qian's band, and only this one has already made them have to pay great attention.

Therefore, in the week after the release of the album, media from all over the country, from TV media, to radio stations, to major newspapers, took up considerable space to report on the release of the album "Fake Monk" .

Among them, although there will be some far-fetched gossip hype, more professional review articles by many music critics are published.

In a word: rave reviews.

And such a wave of public opinion, of course, formed a positive boost to the sales of the album.

Therefore, when Monday, March 20th came, "Fake Monk" sold 16,552 copies in the first week. In such an off-season sales, it hit the top of Dongguan Bookstore's album sales list, and became the first album in Dongguan Bookstore in the past ten years. The first rock album on Guanshudian's album sales list to get the number one ranking. Of course, it is also the first rock album to sell over 10,000 in a single week at Dongguan Bookstore in the past 12 years.

This achievement is of course incomparable with Liao Liao and He Runqing, and even incomparable with Zhou Mo after his comeback last year, but it is already enough for a rock music that has been silent for more than ten years. It's an eye-popping achievement.

And when Wednesday, March 22nd came, on the latest episode of The Voice of China's Golden Melody On-Demand, the album's first title song "Fake Monk" almost effortlessly reached the top of the chart.

At the same time, works such as "Girl in the Flower House", "Love Song of the Ronin", and "Don't-Break-My-Heart" in the album also made the list one after another. Even at this time, "Nothing" and "No Place to Shame", which had been gradually falling off the list, suddenly revived with the release of the original album, and joined hands to return to the top five!

In a sense, although the Four Great Beauties and their "Fake Monk" are far from achieving the albums of Liao Liao and He Runqing, which immediately became a hot topic among the people as soon as they were released, but for the pop music world That said, they, and their album, are still on fire.

Therefore, in the second week after listing, he unexpectedly and satisfactorily achieved a single-week sales of 18,756 copies in Dongguan Bookstore, and continued to secure the number one position in the sales list.

Adding up the first two weeks of listing, Dongguan Bookstore has sold more than 35,000 copies. To some extent, it means that after 13 days of listing, its national sales volume should have reached 60 to 80. Between ten thousand. According to the laws of the market, with such achievements, it should be possible to ensure that this album will successfully enter the double platinum club within a year.

And for rock music, this is definitely the best score in more than a decade.

So, after the results came out, countless music critics who love rock and roll published commentary articles in major newspapers and periodicals one after another. Between the lines, they almost cheered for another big sale of rock and roll music.

However, what people didn't expect was that after "Fake Monk" achieved such a sales performance that was enough to amaze countless professionals in the first two weeks of its release, it once again failed to follow the normal market conditions. law.

This point is exactly the same as Li Qian's previous albums that suddenly became popular!

Because in the music market and album sales, there has always been only one thing that really plays a key role, and that is word of mouth!

And the word-of-mouth of the album "Fake Monk" is simply overwhelming.

It's not just professionals, and it's not just fans who have known and liked Li Qian and the Four Great Beauties before. After hearing the songs in this album, unless there are a small number of people who are really not interested in rock music, otherwise, almost Everyone is willing to give his thumbs up to this album at the first time!

So people spread it by word of mouth.

So, after Huang Dazhong, the general manager of Huage Records, directly rejected Du Xiaoming's proposal to make two rock albums, Sony held two meetings on whether to follow suit and make two rock albums, but it was difficult to reach a consensus. , It is estimated that nine times out of ten it will die without a problem, but in the third week after the release of "Fake Monk", this album suddenly exploded unexpectedly against the law.

In the third week of listing, the sales period is from Monday, March 27th to Sunday, April 2nd. Instead of declining, the sales volume of "Fake Monk" in Dongguan Bookstore has suddenly climbed to 24,339 copies!

Continue the upward curve!

This time, even the music critics who wrote a newspaper article praising "False Monk" in the newspaper last week were immediately stunned.

However, in the fourth week of listing, the sales period is from Monday, April 3rd to Sunday, April 9th, the sales data of "Fake Monk" in Dongguan Bookstore unexpectedly rose again, reaching 31,058 open!

Over 30,000 copies in a single week!

The sum of the first four weeks is as high as 90705!

This achievement is still incomparable with Liao Liao, He Runqing, and Zhao Xinfu. The fire, the highest sales volume of more than 37,000 copies in a single week, adding up the previous four weeks, that is also as high as 120,000 copies!

But, you know, "Fake Monk" is a rock album!

And it was released when this kind of rock music is already extremely bleak!

So, seeing this result, many people immediately figured it out: word of mouth! Word of mouth must be driving all this!

It is precisely because of word-of-mouth, especially the super word-of-mouth among listeners and fans, that this album was able to violate the normal laws of the market within four weeks of its release. During the three-week and fourth-week sales cycle, the number will increase at a rate of about 7,000 per week! And finally broke through the 30,000 single mark!

At this time, as soon as the single score of 30,000 sheets came out, it seemed that they had suddenly reached a certain critical point. The word rock, the word four beauties, and the word fake monk suddenly became popular stand up!

Compared with the period of rock and roll boom in the past, that is, the period when the flying band dominated the world, the period when Liu Mingliang's folk songs, folk songs and country songs became popular, the rise of female singers represented by Zhen Zhen, and the sudden popularity of Wuxingwusu and Kuaige , Liao Liao's national queen, He Runqing's successful transformation, in the blink of an eye, rock, the rock of the four beauties, and the album "Fake Monk" suddenly became a hot topic among the people!

At this stage, there is no need for any impetus, because almost all places related to the entertainment industry, from TV stations, radio stations, newspapers, magazines, to major forums on the Internet, and even the rapidly increasing number of QQ groups , almost the whole country is discussing this album and these names in full swing!

Undoubtedly, this is a qualitative change accumulated from quantitative change!

So, under everyone's attention, in the fifth week after its release, the album "Fake Monk" violated the normal market rules again, and won a single-week sales volume of 36,956 copies in one fell swoop!

In the first five weeks, every week will increase!

In the first five weeks, a total of 127,661 copies were sold in Dongguan Bookstore!

So, the whole world was shocked!

As a result, the fiery atmosphere of heated discussions among the whole people heated up again!

…………

April 8, Saturday, morning.

The sun is shining brightly outside the window, and the birds are singing.

Li Qian was carrying the suitcase and casually reminded him of the precautions for going out. He had just walked to the door of the villa when the company driver who was particularly discerning rushed over and took Liao Liao's large suitcase.

Huang Wenjuan saw that the two were tired and crooked, so she said, "Brother, sister, then I'll wait for you in the car!"

Li Qian nodded, watched her run over, and then looked down at Liao Liao again.

The words that should be said have actually been said since last night. Up to now, he has repeated them several times. In fact, there is no need to say them again. What should be said, what he really wants to say, he hesitated for a while, but he didn't open his mouth.

So, the two of them just stood at the door of the villa, looking at each other.

Then, suddenly, Liao Liao took his hand, pulled him back forcefully, slammed the door of the villa, and untied Li Qian's belt with his hand.

Li Qian's eyes widened first, and then he grabbed her hand, "What are you doing, Juanzi and the others are still waiting outside!"

Liao Liao looked up at him and said, "I know what you want to say, don't worry, we are not stupid, we can't fight!"

With this sentence, Li Qian was at a loss for words.

Liao Liao broke away from his hand, pulled off his pants skillfully, and squatted down.

"Hiss... you are... what kind of wind are you smoking!"

Liao Liao hesitated for a while, then spit it out, squinted up at him, stuck out his tongue provocatively and licked it, which made Li Qian gasp again, "I said, what happened last night? A total of three times, are you really crazy? You want my life, right?"

Liao Liao smiled and winked at the words, and said, "Her flight is tomorrow, right? You must go there tonight, right? So... I'll squeeze you dry before I talk about it!"

After finishing speaking, she buried her head again.

"Hiss..." Li Qian gasped again.

Throughout March, apart from attending classes every day and learning opera twice a week, Li Qian devoted all his energy to the production of He Runqing's new album.

And as the iron triangle of Li Qian, Liao Liao, and He Runqing has been cooperating for longer and longer, the tacit understanding between them has reached a very high level. In addition, He Runqing's own skills and experience are also very solid. This makes the progress of her album extremely fast. In just one month's work, at the beginning of April, all the studio recording work for this album was completed, and it was successfully transferred to post-production.

It was around this time that Zhou Mo’s new album, after nearly half a year of revisions, finally announced the completion of the recording, and then transferred to post-production—it can be said that in order to be able to sell the album with Liao Liao in May this year. In the past six months, she has almost shown the best state of her singer career so far, and the craziest physical and mental devotion.

Then, the Southeast Asia tour organized by Sony Records will start soon.

Liao Liao, He Runqing, and Zhou Mo, who had finished all the work at hand, had to fly over in the next few days. Of course, the company's two trump cards came together, plus the matter of expanding the Chinese cultural circle mentioned by Li Qian before, it was enough to attract Qi Jie's attention, so it was even two days earlier than Liao Liao and He Runqing , she has already represented the Minghu culture and flew over to make contact with Southeast Asia.

Today, it was the plane of Liao Liao and He Runqing.

…………

After swallowing, Liao Liao ran to the bathroom to vomit, rinsed his mouth several times, and then ran out, with a happy look on his face, and before going out, he said, "Be careful tonight. A knife! Although you are still young, you have to be careful, right?" After speaking, she happily opened the door and went out without looking at Li Qian's expression.

Li Qian thought about it, then chased him out, and shouted: "Hey, don't worry about how you two are fighting behind your back, this time when you go out, please pay attention to me, don't let others see my joke!"

Seeing Liao Liao coming out, Huang Wenjuan immediately opened the door and jumped out of the car, waiting for her to get in. Liao Liao walked to the front of the car, turned around and waved at Li Qian, "Got it, my lord! Let's go back!" Then he got into the car gracefully.

…………

That night, in Yangjuan Hutong, Zhoumo's house.

After more than fifty minutes, the two of them finally finished their work. Although Zhou Mo was panting from exhaustion, Li Qian also subconsciously felt a little pain in the lower part—in front of Zhou Mo, he was afraid that she might ask something suspicious, so he even I didn't dare to look carefully, but I extremely doubted whether I had been worn bald.

But even though he looked indifferent and rested for a while after getting off him, Zhou Mo couldn't help asking: "What's wrong with you today? Why didn't you come out for so long?"

Li Qian hesitated, not knowing how to answer.

But Zhou Mo Bingxue is smart, don't look at outsiders, he seems to have a very low EQ, but as long as she is facing Li Qian, her EQ is definitely not low, in fact, she is just too lazy to use her brain with irrelevant people That's all.

So, looking up at Li Qian, she suddenly smiled strangely, and said, "Don't worry, I won't hold grudges against her. I won't even fight with her outside."

Li Qian sighed, hesitant to speak.
