The music scene exploded.
In China and Southeast Asia, the fame and influence of Li Qian and the Four Great Beauty Bands are, needless to say, the most top-notch existences. Until now, "Once Upon a Time You" is still the top seller in the Chinese music scene.

Both are bestsellers.
It has been so long, and the popularity of that album is said to have passed, but it has never fallen out of the top 50 album sales charts of Dongguan Bookstore!
Although the promotion of the album "Dream Back to the Tang Dynasty" is not enough, nor does it give enough time and topicality to allow this album to ferment to a certain extent, especially in time for the Lunar New Year, so it The sales and influence of Li Qian must have been discounted, but in China and Southeast Asia, the works of Li Qian and the Four Great Beauties definitely belong to the kind of people passing by, as long as they see a new album, there will be Countless fans paid for a set without hesitation to go back to the level.
Even after buying it, they will go around telling each other.
The mouths of thousands of fans will automatically promote them.
In Europe, America, Japan, South Korea and other places, obviously, the four major beauty bands have little influence. In Japan and South Korea, they are slightly better, but they are also third-rate, or even worse than third-rate. In Europe and America, they belong to absolute The non-mainstream music is only circulated as "exotic" music in some extremely narrow niche circles, basically, it has no influence.
But it doesn't matter, Liao Liao is here!
Her influence, popularity, and reputation in Europe and the United States are all top-notch!
In addition, in China and Southeast Asia, Minghu Culture's own distribution capabilities are quite strong, and in Europe, America, Japan, Korea and other places, Universal Music is a top existence!

And during this period, the radio stations, which have always been a huge promoter of popular music, are also doing their best.
Radio music programs like "Music Master Talk" are only a small part of them. More radio programs choose to throw songs in front of you in an extremely rough, simple and direct manner, and put them on your face. next to his ear—then, he didn’t say anything, just waited for you to call the hotline, and then laughed: Look, you are similar to me, right?

Every place, every country, every nation, even the same nation, just because they live in different areas, will have their own unique music culture and music aesthetics for a long time. Bands can be killed globally, that's close to impossible!
It can only be said that there are very few people who have been very close to this point.
Even so, they are already top superstars remembered by history and the times! They are the kind of people whose influence can even exceed the top leaders of more than 95% of the countries in the world.
Now, "Come-on, Jime", which has an Indian style and is mixed with a lot of electronic dance music styles, has become popular in Mumbai, Kolkata, Delhi and other large cities in India in just a few days. ——Different from jazz, rock, and pop songs in the European and American music circles, which are more popular among upper-class intellectuals and high-end people in India, "Come-on, Jime" not only conquered these "foreign style" and "pop songs" in the first place. The "Europeanized" ears, and more importantly, it also conquered the ears of countless ordinary Indians!
In contrast, the upper class in India prefers classical rock songs like "We-are-the-champions" and European and American pop songs like "Endless-summer".
Meanwhile, "Waka-waka" and "We-will-rock-you" hit the big cities of southern Africa.
"The-phoenix" and "Dream Back to Tang Dynasty" were shocked by many Japanese rock bands, and they couldn't help but pay homage!

In the United States, where various cultures converge, almost every song and every style is extremely loved by people-it is not surprising at all, a country where many ethnic groups and multi-ethnic cultures meet has always had such a wide range of music. The degree of acceptance of different cultures is not limited to the United States, but also the Tang Dynasty in China in history.
Therefore, "Waka-waka", which is full of the rhythm of African music, is of course very popular among young Americans, and "The-Cup-of-live", which is full of Latin style, has also made countless people dance for it!
Indian style? It's a little niche, but it's okay, it sounds good, and not only Indian descendants will like to listen to it! People of all ages and black people will like this kind of works full of exotic style, but also full of electronic dance music styles that Americans like.
Classic rock? It's not just the Brits who like this, and it's not just the small rock fans!
You know, those old albums of the Insect Band are still selling well in Europe, America and all over the world. Although they haven’t had any new works for a long time, as long as they are willing to hold a concert, a few old men stand on the stage, and the tickets are still the same It's a clean sale!
Pop rock? That's even better!
The reason why pop is popular is because it is more in line with the appreciation taste of the vast majority of the general public. No matter how much pop rock is looked down upon by the traditional rock circle, it cannot change that they have indeed popularized rock music to the ears of more fans. this fact.
And then... Chinese songs? Chinese songs?
no problem!
Not to mention that there are tens of millions of overseas Chinese living in North America, even if they are not overseas Chinese, there are already many fans who have been fascinated by Liao Liao's Chinese works twice!
"My Motherland" may be a little niche, but it is beautiful, pleasant to hear, and moving, but it is for sure.
Not to mention "Dream Back to Tang Dynasty"!
Many fans don't understand what the lead singer is singing, and even after being bombarded by various rock genres, they don't think this rock song is so good, but the middle part of the song is full of words The Beijing opera chanting is high-pitched and passionate, but they have never heard of it or seen it before.
That feeling is simply... I was overwhelmed all of a sudden!
Many people leave messages on the forums they often go to, saying, "The words spoken by the lead singer of the Chinese rock song made my whole body go numb! I feel like I'm going to die!"
As for the people in Europe... you know, it is a world-renowned football den!
The World Cup is coming, and the holidays for European fans who have money and leisure and love to watch football are approaching. In the past six months, there have been singers and bands releasing football-related songs to earn popularity in the music industry. It was a good warm-up, and now, an album full of five or six classic and hallowed football songs came out of nowhere!
The European music scene is no slower than anywhere else!
In London, in Manchester, in Barcelona, in Berlin, in Milan, in Rome, in the big and small fan pubs and bars in European cities, "We-will-rock-you" and "We-will-rock-you" -are-the-champions" quickly became a fan favorite.
On February 7, 2002, after paying a symbolic royalty of US$100 to Universal Music, the British Wimbledon Football Club played "We-will- "rock-you" as the entrance ceremony and opening song for our players, and in the FA Cup match that night, we played a magnificent game and beat the strong team Arsenal with a score of 4:2, achieving "We-will-rock-you" made a stunning debut as a football song!
After the game, many fans gathered and asked the club to buy out the right to use this song, and use it as the team's game day song in the future-because the fans believed that the spiritual power contained in this song was extremely suitable for the mad gang The spirit of the game that Wimbledon has always advocated!
As the game results and highlights of the night were repeatedly broadcast by major TV stations, the incident of the entrance song before the game and the fan petition after the game, along with this game, quickly became a hot event in the entire European football world— —"We-will-rock-you", was mentioned and praised again and again!
It can be said that at this point, this album has covered almost all directions and regions, and it has almost won the love of most regions and fans in the world-although the songs everyone loves are not consistent, they are extremely popular. If you like one or a few songs, it is enough to make a whole album popular!
What's more, even if you don't like it very much, the other songs in this album will still be recognized by everyone as long as you listen to them a little bit carefully!
Good things are good things!
The reason why good things fail to become popular in some places must have factors such as culture, race, atmosphere, etc., but as long as they are well guided, they can always be loved by a certain group of people.
For example, you have to prepare a stepping stone!
Use "We-will-rock-you" as a brick to knock on the door of European fans' music, use "The-Cup-of-live" as a brick to knock on Latin America and other places, and so on.
The so-called love the house and the crow, then give him the "house" first, and then let him slowly fall in love with the "crow"!
