Chapter 345 The Rise of Zhou Mo

It is not surprising that "Women's Flower" is a big hit.

Liao Liao's fame, status and appeal, Li Qian's lyrics, composition and producer, "Women's Flower", "Looking at Flowers in the Mist", "Wild Lily Also Has Spring", "A Walk in Chic", "The Most Romantic Thing" ", "Across the Ocean to See You" and a series of works that can make the whole album a big hit with any one song, there is no reason why this album is not easy to sell.

Even though the sales of 40,000 copies in a single piece are really brilliant and impressive enough, for Liao Liao, this new record is not surprising for Liao Liao after the sales of three albums in the past few years. .

Simply put, she should be like this, otherwise she would not be Liao Liao.

From the first week of the release of the album, the major media have been flooded with all kinds of news related to the album, TV stations and radio stations will play chart-topping songs, and newspapers will publish columns and reviews—almost as long as the talk As far as this album is concerned, it is all praise without exception.

Correspondingly, this album is a hot seller in various audio-visual stores, bookstores, supermarkets and other channels across the country, and it is the hit broadcast of this album that will be heard on the streets and alleys of almost every city.

Those melodious melodies seemed to have swept across the country overnight.

As soon as the sales data of Dongguan Bookstore in the first week came out, this enthusiastic pursuit from top to bottom suddenly became a little hotter, especially the charming performance that Liao Liao showed in the title song "Women's Flower". The low frequency has made countless new and old fans, as well as countless professional musicians and music critics, applaud it!

Many music critics praised excitedly in their column articles, thinking that as the queen of the country and the most popular music superstar in China, Liao Liao is not indulging in the glory of the past, she is still working hard, Still working hard to try various breakthroughs. And "Women's Flower" is a successful example!

There are even many music critics boldly claiming: In today's domestic music scene, Liao Liao has already surpassed Zhen Zhen, Liu Mingliang and other singers in terms of perfection in singing skills in today's domestic music scene.

In short...all the signs are showing that it seems to be a matter of course that "Women's Flower" achieved a better sales result in the second week after its launch. And the final big sale of this album, over 10 million copies, is no longer a problem.

But in fact, Liao Liao and "Women's Flower" are not like in the past. Every time a new album is released, it will instantly become the only hot topic in the whole country this week, and become the focus of everyone's attention in the entire entertainment circle, because during this week , Zhou Mo's "Witch's Tears" has aroused heated discussion and popularity all over the country, no less than her!

Even, to a certain extent, the sales of 27,963 copies of Dongguan Bookstore in a single week are not enough to fully reflect the fanatical pursuit of fans after "Witch's Tears" was released.

This is Zhou Mo's second album after her comeback, and it is also unanimously considered the album that she has made more efforts in terms of popularity so far. Not only the title song "Witch's Tears", but also many tracks in the album, such as "Go", "Red Shoes", "Proud", etc., all of which have maintained Zhou Mo's unique style in the past and become more popular.

Moreover, as Qi Jie said, in fact, Liao Liao was already very popular before she sang "Meet Nine Eight" on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala. Therefore, although the appearance and this song this time are also helpful to her, but But it is far less than the improvement of Zhou Mo's influence - after this song, Zhou Mo suddenly changed from the "familiar name" in the hearts of many fans to that "familiar voice".

It's like being in another time and space. Even though Jay Chou became popular across the Taiwan Strait and three places soon after his debut, there are many potential fans who have always been completely indifferent to him. They just know and heard about him. , but they don't listen to his songs, and many people even have a subconscious rejection of him in their hearts. Rejecting his rap, rejecting his slurred speech, and even simply rejecting him himself.

In this situation, until "Dong Feng Po" came out, it was like a spring breeze overnight. Jay Chou and his Chinese style became completely popular all over the country. And this time, it was popular among the whole people, not just a few young fans. And when "Hair Like Snow" and other works are released one after another, his status as the king of Asia can no longer be shaken. It was also until this time that many fans who originally rejected him not only became his most die-hard fans one after another, but even loved Wu Jiwu, but instead listened to his other styles of works, such as singing, and then naturally fell in love with his unique rap.

But now, "Meet Nine Eight" is to Zhou Mo, which probably plays the role of "Dongfeng Po" to Jay Chou, allowing Zhou Mo to suddenly go from the peak of the original niche genre and style to a broader one. in front of the public.

So, what showed was that she suddenly became popular!

And such a combination of numbers made Zhou Mo's influence and album sales suddenly climbed to a big level again after ten years of debut!

To put it simply, if it was difficult for Zhou Mo to be recognized by most people when she was called one of the four great queens before, then now, she finally has the capital to be comparable to Zhen Zhen, Liao Liao and others .

It is also because, in this record competition that is well-known throughout the country even though the parties themselves do not admit it, although the first week data of the two parties is 27,963 VS 40,558, there are so many vitriolic music critics all over the country, but there is almost no one. People say that Zhou Mo lost.

It may not be possible to say that Zhou Mo won, but at least most people tend to think that the record sales of the two days later will be evenly divided!

…………

Wednesday, May 24.

In the midst of much anticipation, the Voice of China Radio's Golden Melody On-Demand list finally came out.

As everyone expected, and as everyone expected, for the first time, Liao Liao finally did not rule the world.

If one word can be used to describe the situation of the entire list, it would be: staggered.

First place, "Female Flower", by Liao Liao.

The second place, "Walking in Style", Liao Liao.

Third place, "Witch's Tears", Zhou Mo.

Fourth place, "The Most Romantic Thing", by Liao Liao.

Fifth place, "Pride", Zhou Mo.

The sixth place, "Looking at Flowers in the Mist", by Liao Liao.

Seventh place, "Red Shoes", Zhou Mo.

The eighth place, "Wild Lilies Also Have Spring", by Liao Liao.

The ninth place, "Across the Ocean to See You", by Liao Liao.

The tenth place, "Walking", by Zhou Mo.

After two days, they monopolized the top ten of the list.

There are six poems by Liao Liao and four poems by Zhou Mo.

Although Liao Liao's "Woman's Flower" is obviously going to overwhelm Zhou Mo's "Witch's Tears" in terms of ranking and quantity, but even the commentators of the Voice of China Radio think that : The two queens are equally divided.

Moreover, the announcer on the other side directly said on the radio without any concealment: "As the top music producer and creator in China today, Li Qian's works themselves will bring great bonus points, and currently In terms of people, there is basically no one in China who can get the same amount of extra points in this regard. Therefore, this competition was not fair from the very beginning, and therefore, even though Liao Liao ranked six to four Higher, but we still tend to think that the two sides played a tie."

Of course, what is unavoidable is that during the broadcast, the announcer couldn't help but start gossiping, "Zhou Mo signed with Sony Records when he came back, it was a two-plus-one contract, that is, two albums, plus one album priority The right to renew the contract. So now that the two albums have been finished, if we let us think irresponsibly, maybe when Zhou Mo comes back from the promotion of the new album, she will go to Minghu Culture to report!"

"Then, maybe in the next year, we will see the two queens who are going all out, and at the same time, under the blessing of Li Qian, a great talent, there will be another big competition? Of course, I think, maybe Sony Records, it should be I don't want to see this happen..."

…………

May 25, Thursday, afternoon, at Suncheon Airport.

The reception hall was crowded with people.

Li Qian stood quietly on the periphery, paying attention to the pick-up message on the radio from time to time.

At 5:40, the passengers of another plane came out. From a distance, Li Qian saw Liao Liao and raised his hand. Before Liao Liao found out, Wei Lan had already spotted Li Qian's arm first, so she turned her head and said something to her. Liao Liao looked up and waved to Li Qian, then lowered his head again and walked out sullenly.

She and Wei Lan both wore large sunglasses, and at this time, many reporters knew that she was doing publicity and recording programs in other places, so although there were paparazzi reporters stationed in the airport pick-up hall all the year round to catch the traces of stars, the flow of people But no one noticed that Liao Liao had quietly returned to Beijing.

Wei Lan pushed the luggage cart two steps behind, Liao Liao walked up to Li Qian, they hugged each other, and then walked out side by side.

Seeing that her face seemed a little gloomy, Li Qian asked, "Are you tired? Are you done?"

Liao Liao nodded, although his face was a little tired, but his expression was quite excited, and replied: "It's over, I haven't done anything else these days, just sleep on the plane, sleep in the car, and then record the show... But this feeling is good , In just a few days, the entire publicity period is over, and my aunt is free again, great!"

Li Qian laughed.

After getting into the car, Wei Lan consciously sat in the co-pilot. In the second row, the two chatted a few words, and Liao Liao had already leaned over, with half of his body in Li Qian's arms, talking in a low voice. .

"Xiaojie told me that next week she will probably be able to pass 30,000 copies in a single, and now I will see the stamina of her album, but to be honest, although I will probably be higher next week, but 40,000 Zhang vs. 30,000 copies, I don't feel like I won at all, what should I do?" After a pause, she asked again: "Have you listened to her album? How do you feel?"

Li Qian looked down at her and asked without answering, "What do you think?"

Liao Liao sighed, and lowered his head in disappointment, "I think... this is probably the best album of all her past albums. It perfectly combines her personal taste, small style, and popularity... hey Tell me, did she really understand something from the song "Meeting in Nine Eight"? The popularity of this album really doesn't match her style!"

Li Qian smiled and stroked her hair, "Are you and Teacher Qi talking in private again?"

Liao Liao let out a "tss", looking dissatisfied, and said angrily: "She has changed now, and recently she has been trying to persuade me not to get angry with her! It's not like a buddy anymore! Isn't it just that she is eager to get rid of her?" Pull her over? However, our side is already clearly in a state of yin and yang decline, is it really okay to pull her over again?"

Li Qian thought for a while, and said: "I don't know either. But, as usual, let them make trouble! I won't get involved. If she wants to come, she can come, if Teacher Qi wants to pull her, she can pull her, whatever. They toss about."

…………

After Liao Liao came back, he only rested for more than a day. On May 27, he devoted himself to the rehearsal of the new song.

Of course, "my-heart-will-go-on".

Liao Liao liked this song very much when she first got it, and frankly speaking, the lyrics and the emotional color of the tune were more to her liking, so after she got rid of her fatigue, she quickly devoted herself to it. put in.

Before that, Li Qian had already recorded the piano version of the accompaniment by himself.

So, two days later, the two of them approached the recording studio and started the official recording.

…………

May 28, night, ten o'clock.

Minghu Culture, recording studio.

Li Qian wore a headset, frowned slightly, tapped his fingers on the table unconsciously for a while, then raised his head and pressed the call button, and said: "No, it's still not right, there is still a slight deviation in emotion, remember, in section A , what I want is that kind of lingering feeling, the lover whispers, and the crescent eyebrows... In short, that kind of feeling cannot be suppressed. Beautiful, exciting, and when this beauty is threatened, it will bloom even more brilliantly..."

Liao Liao nodded, and after a while, she said, "I'll think about it, think about it again."

Li Qian nodded and took off the headset, but soon, he put it on again, pressed the call button, and said, "That's it for today, don't even think about it, get up early and start recording tomorrow!"

Hearing this, Liao Liao thought for a while, nodded, then took off the headset, opened the door and walked out.

However, before the two of them could speak, there was a sudden knock on the door, and then, Qi Jie pushed the door open and came in with a slight surprise on his face. Seeing that the two were not recording, she quickly looked at Li Qian and said, "Just now Zou Wenhuai called and said that Xinda had quoted Zhou Mo, and just now, Sony had also quoted."

Li Qian frowned when he heard this, and immediately laughed, "Xinda?"

Seeing Qi Jie nodded, he thought for a while and said, "Tomorrow will be Monday, right? It seems that they don't want to wait for next week's list to come out! At this time, the list will not come out at this time, so their quotation will appear Full of sincerity!"

Having said that, he asked, "How much did Xinda offer her? What about Sony?"
