Chapter 355 Cold Outside and Hot Inside

Since May, the domestic cultural and entertainment market has entered a period of booming production and sales.

Specific to the record industry market, although in recent years, the traditional concept that winter can hardly be sold has long been broken by one after another best-selling albums, but it has to be said that there are still a few that can sell well in winter. , The outbreak period of the entire market is still from May to October.

In 1998, the domestic record market, even without the dramatic changes of Sony Records, had already begun to present a certain degree of chaos when only looking at the market itself. In terms of order.

In the past, although the domestic record market was not small, the total amount was limited after all, and the singers were also limited. Therefore, who will release the album in which month, and how much he or she has for the time when he or she releases the album? Market dominance, this is already familiar to everyone, so everyone goes their own way, earns their own money, and does not interfere with each other.

However, in recent years, as the domestic economy has been on the rise, the cultural and entertainment market has also risen, and the record industry has ushered in unprecedented prosperity. In 1994, the total sales of records in the domestic record industry was only one There were more than 63 million copies per year, and when the statistics of 1997 came out, the total sales of domestic records had already exceeded 100 million, and reached more than 117 million.

In just three or four years, the capacity of this market has doubled, and it is still growing at a high speed. According to the prospect of the Recording Industry Association, in 1998, the total sales volume of the domestic record market is expected to break through the 130 million mark!

However, the market has become larger and the competition has become more intense.

In the current domestic market, there is no so-called safe period, and there is almost no so-called "personal time".

Not long after the year, the first album "Fake Monk" by the Four Great Beauties was a hit, but during the two months when "Fake Monk" became popular, the record market was as high as ten million for the newly released albums alone. Seven!

Although among so many albums, there are only two or three people including Feng Feifei who can really achieve a certain amount of sales, but it has to be emphasized that: before it was released, "Fake Monk" was already recognized by the industry as a future album. There will be an album with a strong market dominance, and March, when this album is released, is not the traditional peak season for album sales!

But even so, even in such an off-season, even though they knew they were going to face "Fake Monk", there were still many record companies and singers who fearlessly launched an assault on sales and the market!

In mid-May, the two queens released new albums at the same time. Finally, the market ushered in a moment of silence—in fact, in today's China, in terms of market dominance, Liao Liao must be recognized as invincible.

But even Liao Liao and Zhou Mo, even such a tearful combination that everyone thought was destined to sweep the entire record sales market, could only scare others for two weeks.

The time has just entered June, and two singers from Xinda and Huage have released new albums successively. Although after their album was released, under the rule of the two queens, there was almost no splash, but starting with them, the arrangements for subsequent album releases suddenly became more frequent.

On June 13th, Sima Duoduo, a singer who had been highly anticipated by the market and the industry before, released the album "Women's Flower" and "Witch's Tears" only four weeks after their release. His first solo album after flying solo - "Flying Alone".

Just the day before, on June 12th, Monday, in the latest sales list of Dongguan Bookstore, the albums of the two days later continued to sit firmly in the first and second places, and they received 37,192 and 31,543 copies respectively. Zhang's sales—although they are already in a period of steady decline, but the market dominance of the two queens is still at its peak!

"Flying Lonely", which had high hopes from the industry and Sony Records, hit it head on!

…………

On June 19th, another Monday, Dongguan Bookstore's sales rankings from 6.12 to 6.18 were released on time.

First place, 33193 pieces, "Female Flower", Liao Liao, fifth week, Minghu Culture.

Second place, 30,155 copies, "Witch's Tears", Zhou Mo, fifth week, Sony Records.

Third place, 13,250 copies, "Flying Alone", Sima Duoduo, first week, Sony Records.

Fourth place, 8512 pieces, "Fake Monk", Four Great Beauties, Week 14, Minghu Culture.

…………

Continuing to exceed 30,000 copies in a single week, for Liao Liao and Zhou Mo, of course, it can be declared a great success for this record pairing, and for Sima Duoduo and her "Flying Alone", the solo debut An album, a small and fresh style of literature and art, with more than 10,000 copies in the first week, it can't be said to be too successful, but at least it proves that whether it is the use of the fan base accumulated during the Wuxingwusu period, or the establishment of a personal style, in short, This step can be regarded as a successful step forward.

At the very least, many music critics can declare that even if Zhou Mo really quit the music scene, she is already a successor!

You know, her achievement was achieved when Liao Liao and Zhou Mo were still dominating the sales market. However, when thinking about the new opponents they will face in the next few weeks, it is estimated that whether it is Sima Duoduo or It was really hard for Sony Records to be happy - because on July 1st, it was Liu Mingliang, and on July 10th, it was He Runqing.

…………

June 20th, Tuesday, Minghu Culture, Studio No. 2.

Li Qian wore headphones and listened very carefully.

"Laugh and sing praises,

It hurts to frown.

I don't have time to pay attention to me,

Just feel what you feel.

where are you going

Take my soul too,

It is enchanted for you,

What's the use of keeping it?

………”

He suddenly took off the earphones, He Wei turned his head to look over, Xie Bing, Wang Jingxue, and Sun Ruoxuan looked at him even more intently.

He Wei was in the top five or even the top three producers in Sony before. Of course, his position in the industry is high enough. Li Qian arranged for him to join Rose Power, and asked him to be in charge of producing this new film. For the album, Xie Bing, Sun Ruoxuan and others, of course, can’t say anything, but after all, in today’s domestic music scene, even Xie Mingyuan, Du Xiaoming and other original absolute big names dare not say that they have the ability to grasp the music and the record quality. His production ability surpasses that of Li Qian.

So, even though they all felt pretty good after recording the title song of this new album, in the final analysis, Li Qian still needs to nod and approve, so that they can feel at ease in their hearts.

At this time, Li Qian suddenly took off his earphones when he heard it halfway, which naturally shocked the three girls.

But after taking off the earphones, Li Qian wanted to say something, but stopped, frowned and thought hard for a moment, then he didn't even look at the three girls, but said to He Wei: "Teacher He, I think Jing Xue Her voice is too bright... I don't know how to describe the specific feeling. We need her to play the highest note of rose power. This note must also be a bit colder, including her personal image, and she should also be colder. Shaped, but when the sound is processed, I feel a little cold, which is not right."

The three girls looked at each other in dismay.

He Wei nodded solemnly, then put on the headset and signaled the sound engineer to give him a follow-up interview.

After more than a minute, he took off the headset, seemed to hesitate for a moment, and then said: "You mean, it must be cold, but it can't be this kind of direct non-human fireworks, it has to be much... A little... how should I put it, charming?"

Li Qian suddenly clapped his hands and burst out laughing.

The three girls all looked at him intently, and after a while, he stopped laughing and said, "Mr. He, you understand what I mean, but, being charming...is a bit too much... Besides, you can't help it." She's gone!" At this point, he smiled and turned to look at Wang Jingxue, "Sister Jingxue, can you... be charming?"

At that moment, Wang Jingxue really felt a little embarrassed.

She has always been so indifferent, and different from Zhou Mo's calm and breezy, she is a real iceberg beauty, so when Li Qian asked this question, she really didn't know how to answer.

Xie Bing and Sun Ruoxuan laughed heartlessly.

Even He Wei couldn't help laughing along with him.

Because... Indeed, everyone didn't think Wang Jingxue could be "coquettish".

However, at this time, Li Qian was keenly aware that Wang Jingxue lowered her head unreasonably. At the moment she lowered her head, Li Qian clearly saw that her eyes were slightly red under embarrassment.

This is not Wang Jingxue!

She's the type of person who doesn't care how much you're laughing, or how much you're making fun of me, and doesn't even bother to respond—that's not how she reacts.

So, Li Qian blinked, quickly put away his smile, looked at Wang Jingxue who lowered his head, and said in a calm and authentic voice: "Sister Jingxue, I'm just kidding, actually I think you should suppress the kind Translucent, let's not be so translucent, the color should be a little darker... Can you understand what I mean?"

When it comes to business, Li Qian's attitude is so serious, Wang Jingxue quickly raised her head - yes, she is not someone who is good at hiding herself, and the red in her eyes is still there.

In other words, at this moment, Wang Jingxue suddenly gave Li Qian a feeling of "on the verge of weeping"—although, she should have tried very hard to cover up her gaffe.

After a pause, she said, "The color...is darker?"

Li Qian nodded and said: "Ruoxuan's voice is very lively, Bingbing's voice is very crisp and sweet, so, in your group, Ruoxuan is naughty, Bingbing is a good girl, and you, then She is a big sister who is cold on the outside and hot on the inside!"

After swiping, Wang Jingxue stared at Li Qian with wide eyes.

Sun Ruoxuan couldn't help but uttered "Ouch", and vomited brazenly in front of so many people, "Please, boss, I know the relationship between you two, but can you call her Xiaobing? If you call her that, it will make people cry." I feel cold all over!"

Xie Bing pushed her shyly upon hearing this, and blushed instantly.

Yes, the relationship between Xie Bing and Li Qian can be concealed from others, but it certainly cannot be concealed from Liao Liao and Zhou Mo, who have tacitly assigned odd and even number restrictions, nor can it be concealed from the good sisters Wang Jingxue and Sun Ruoxuan in the same group. Until now, Xie Bing still can't stand Sun Ruoxuan making fun of her, as long as Sun Ruoxuan said this, she would definitely blush, she must be extremely shy.

But at this moment, Li Qian shrugged his shoulders and said, "Okay, okay, then I'll call her Xiaobing, okay?" Then he turned to look at Wang Jingxue, only to find that Wang Jingxue was still staring at him intently.

The two looked at each other.

There was some doubt in Li Qian's eyes.

Xie Bing and Sun Ruoxuan were still arguing over there, but Wang Jingxue suddenly asked, "What did you just say? I'm a big sister who's cold on the outside and hot on the inside?"

She asked seriously, really seriously.

Li Qian was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, and then nodded seriously, gesticulating, and said: "Yes, it is that kind of feeling, you are cold, including your voice, including the usual performance image, are all cold, but This kind of indifference can't be really cold, but should be a moment of tenderness contained in indifference and plainness..." He smiled and said: "Every little boy longs for a caring, caring, and caring child." Big sister!"

Wang Jingxue's eyes seemed to light up for a moment, and then they calmed down.

She nodded slowly and said calmly, "I understand what you mean."

Li Qian turned his head to look at He Wei.

He Wei also nodded, and then looked at the three girls, "Then...do it again later?"

…………

There is only one final exam left, and the summer vacation is coming.

On the morning of June 21st, Li Qian drove Wang Jinglu to Huairou Film and Television City.

The crew of "Scallion Love" is currently filming here.

Basically, although the era background of this drama is in troubled times, the whole story and the whole movie revolve around a big mansion, so there is basically no need to go to other places to shoot scenes. A Huairou film and television city can already solve most of the shots. ——To some extent, this can even be regarded as a house drama.

In this play, Li Qian is not only one of the screenwriters, but also promised Yu Bojun to play a small role with Wang Jinglu. Even Cao Zhan has already come to play a guest accountant. If it wasn't for Wang Jinglu's request, Liao Liao would have firmly refused, otherwise, Yu Bojun even wanted Liao Liao to play a supporting role.

Anyway, such a small supporting role is not a big deal for the shooting, and there is a big gimmick in the publicity - Yu Bojun has been making movies for so many years, it is hard to say how high the specific level of directing is, but he has one at home. He who is in the theater industry must be very expert in how to tap the commercial value of a movie.
