Chapter 542

On May 4, 2000, the Voice of China Radio released its weekly list of golden songs on demand.

"First Experience of Love" airborne to the top!

When the list was released, there were quite a few voices of astonishment in the record industry, but for the fans, this is a very suitable ranking, but in this way, it is a little bit wronged for such a masterpiece as "Jiangnan"!

Yes, "Jiangnan" came in second.

In some subsequent media, many music producers admitted frankly that the popularity of these two songs surprised many people in the record industry. Because in the traditional cognitive concept, the top one should be a delicate and exquisite popular love song like "Kiss Goodbye" or "First Time".

But now, although the three songs "Kiss Goodbye", "First Time" and "You at the Same Table" are also on the list collectively, they only rank fourth, seventh and eighth respectively.

At the same time, "Dark Fragrance", which was almost praised by musicians and music critics before, was not on the list. Works such as "Childhood" and "Stars Lighting the Light", which were also highly praised by musicians, also failed to make the list. list.

This is obviously not a normal situation.

Under normal circumstances, if we only talk about the quality, even without Li Qian’s halo bonus, these songs still have strong strength, and may be affected by the poor publicity of the previous album before it was released, but even if we only look at this piece The sales volume of the album in the first week is also a rather unexpected result.

On the contrary, "Cloudy Sky", which has been on the market for two months, as an exceptional urban love song, still ranks third on the charts. From this point of view, with this title song, He Runqing's "Cloudy Sky" album has already defeated Zhao Xinfu's "Love Doesn't Stop".

Of course, as many professionals expected, "Castle William" and "Old Indian Turtledove" did not make the list-which made many people nod and smile. This at least proves that their inference is still very reasonable in these two songs, as well as in the music category of rap.

On May 5, recommended by the publisher Chen Youcheng, Huang Wenjuan, the assistant to the general manager of Minghu Culture, came forward on behalf of Minghu Culture and officially signed the film and television adaptation rights of a novel.

This book, called "Peacock", tells the story of a pair of sisters and brothers deep in the mountains. It has been published for seven or eight years, and the sales have been poor. There are still thousands of copies piled up in the warehouse of the publishing house under the name of Chen Youcheng. What's more, even Chen Youcheng didn't know where Li Qian knew about this book, let alone why he bought the right to adapt such a street-slamming book.

On Saturday, May 6, the first episode of "Super Girl" will start broadcasting.

What was broadcast was an excerpt video of the audition. To be honest, the level is uneven, and as a selective broadcast, the producer obviously has no intention of beautifying these contestants, good or bad, although it must have been deliberately selected, but it shows the quality of the audition to a great extent. various real situations.

You know, this is a scene that has never appeared in many talent shows that have been launched in succession in the past few years. Deliberately selected and even trained, what the producer intends to show the audience is just the blockbuster moment when they step on the stage. As for the background, origin and so on, just make up a random one.

However, after only a few short years, many viewers have grown tired of that delicate draft.

So, what was unexpected was that in such a rough audition that was too rough to be worth mentioning, several contestants who signed up for the competition went off the tune as soon as they opened their mouths. The instructor Cao Zhan frowned, but they got quite good ratings , and after the show was broadcast, word of mouth was actually good!

Of course, the next day, a newspaper directly commented: A good singing competition was rehearsed into a skit by Hunan Satellite TV!

But ratings are hard targets! Therefore, even before, HUNAN Satellite TV really bit the bullet and followed Li Qian's request to select clips and edit, but after seeing the ratings and word-of-mouth feedback, the confidence of the entire production team was suddenly firm. down.

On May 8th, Dongguan Bookstore's sales rankings were released on time, and "The First Experience of Love" continued to top the list without any suspense, and after the second week, its sales have unexpectedly increased by a large margin Climb, in the second week of listing, the single-week sales volume in Dongguan Bookstore is as high as 67,137!

This score is still not high compared with "Once Upon a Time You", but considering that "Once upon a Time You" has a powerful promotional bonus of ten minutes during the Spring Festival Gala, and "The First Experience of Love" has a very high reputation in terms of word of mouth. There are mixed reputations and great controversy. Compared with "Once Upon a Time You", there is a lot of difference. Therefore, in everyone's eyes, this achievement is already a very normal achievement.

Or it should be said that when "Once Upon a Time You" was released, there were all kinds of good times, places and people, which made the album achieve incredible results as soon as it was released. Simply speaking of influence and social popularity, No other album has ever matched it.

Even if that person is still Li Qian, it won't work.

On May 9, Minghu Culture held a small press conference, announcing that the film "On the Road" cast by the company has been officially finalized and will be officially released nationwide on July 7 after the college entrance examination.

Of course, the investment in "On the Road" is not large, the director is not well-known, the actors are not well-known, and the story is even more lacklustre. It went to the Yangcheng Film Festival and returned empty-handed. There is almost nothing else to say besides gimmicks like "Movie".

Moreover, July is the summer vacation, when the competition in the film market is the most intense. The theme of "On the Road" is there, so he must try his best to try his best to release it during the period when the students are just off summer vacation, so as to try to win a part of the student box office. , but at that time, it will be crowded among a bunch of box office big names, and it will be impossible to get a decent number of theaters for screening, and it will also be impossible to get priority film scheduling. It is inevitable to hit the street.

Therefore, the reporters rushed over as a matter of routine, listened to a brief introduction by the powerful and domineering female president of Minghu Culture, and then asked director Jin Han a few trivial questions in a stylized manner, and then received a red envelope to flash off.

Jin Han was very depressed.

But no one can untie him.

On May 11, the Voice of China Radio's Golden Melody On-Demand List was released again.

"The First Experience of Love" and "Jiangnan" continued to firmly occupy the top two together.

But what is surprising on the list this time is that such a weird Chinese rap song as "William Castle" not only suddenly made the list, but also reached the fifth place in the list in one fell swoop!

Even "Old Turtledove Indian" unexpectedly made it into the top ten, ranking ninth!

Facing this list, many music critics who have already written their manuscripts suddenly had a strange feeling: as a gold medal chef for many years, at this moment, they suddenly lost their sense of taste!
