Chapter 89: Record-breaking autograph signings, "Heart Is Too Soft" begins to become popular!

On June 15, 1996, Taiwanese singer Ren Xianqi released his solo album "Reliance".

Ren Xianqi's album "Reliance" was originally planned to be released in early June, but because Jiang Xiaofeng released his new album "Cross Era", it had to be postponed for half a month.

But even if it was released half a month later, Ren Xianqi's "Reliance" album was still influenced by Jiang Xiaofeng's "Cross Era", and its sales in Taiwan were not optimistic.

Because in the past half month, the entire Chinese music scene has been focused on Jiang Xiaofeng's "Cross Era" record, and other singers' new albums and new songs are almost all shrouded in Jiang Xiaofeng's shadow.

However, this is already Ren Xianqi's last chance at Rolling Stone Records. If the sales of "Reliance" are too poor, he will basically say goodbye to the music scene.

When Jiang Xiaofeng learned from a colleague at Foremost Records that Taiwanese singer Ren Xianqi had also released a new album "Reliance" in the past two days, but it did not gain a large audience and sales were very poor.

Jiang Xiaofeng felt it was a pity, and also apologized to Ren Xianqi, because he had included one of the most popular songs of Ren Xianqi's acting career, "Heart Is Too Soft", so he thought that he would give him a hand to make up for it.

June 20, morning.

Jiang Xiaofeng held a book signing event in Ximending, Taipei with his new album "Cross Era".

The weather at the venue was so hot that fans in the audience were still sweating profusely even if they held umbrellas to protect themselves from the sun. They sat on the bench and kept wiping their sweat.

In order to sympathize with his fans, Jiang Xiaofeng promised on the spot: "My next record will never be released in the summer!"

In order to express his care for the fans at the scene, Jiang Xiaofeng prepared 8 industrial fans and said: "Thank you everyone. I hope everyone is in good health and does not suffer from heat stroke."

Jiang Xiaofeng, who has always been extremely attentive and considerate to his fans, was worried that everyone queuing up to sign autographs would suffer from the scorching hot sun. He originally rented 8 industrial fans out of his own pocket. Later, because there were too many fans at the scene, he increased the number to 20.

What’s even cooler is that a giant ice wall was set up under the stage, a two-pronged approach to help everyone cool off and cool down. It also showed that the organizers, Foremost Records and Jiang Xiaofeng, were attentive to their fans.

When being interviewed by reporters, Jiang Xiaofeng especially thanked the fans for their support and support, winning screams and cheers from the fans at the scene.

When asked which Taiwanese singer he admired, Jiang Xiaofeng said frankly: "I personally like the works created by Mr. Luo Dayou and Mr. Li Zongsheng very much."

The reason why Jiang Xiaofeng is grateful to these two godfathers of the Taiwanese music scene is not only that he appreciates the works of these two seniors, but also because a week ago, these two godfathers spoke very highly of the album "Crossing the Era".

"There is also a Taiwanese singer that I personally admire very much. His name is Ren Xianqi. I have recently listened to the song "Reliance" he sang. He has his own style. If you are interested, you can support it."

Since Ren Xianqi is not very well-known in Taiwan, many reporters and fans present did not recognize him. When Jiang Xiaofeng suddenly heard Ren Xianqi's name, he couldn't help but become curious about Ren Xianqi and the song "Reliance".

However, this is Jiang Xiaofeng's autograph signing after all, and the autograph signing of Jiang Xiaofeng's new album "Cross Era" is the focus. After the interview, Jiang Xiaofeng also officially began to sign autographs to the fans at the scene.

From the morning to the afternoon, Jiang Xiaofeng signed a total of 10,000 records at this signing event, breaking the record for the highest number of records signed by a singer in a single event in the history of Taiwanese music circles.

As for Ren Xianqi's name and his album "Reliance", they began to attract the attention of Taiwanese media and fans because of Jiang Xiaofeng's strong recommendation.

After Rolling Stone Records learned about Jiang Xiaofeng's recommendation of Ren Xianqi's new song, they followed the trend and jointly hyped it up with the media. They reported that Jiang Xiaofeng admired Ren Xianqi and vigorously promoted it in various cities in Taiwan Province.

Ren Xianqi's "Reliance" album itself is of good quality. The title song "Reliance", coupled with Jiang Xiaofeng's recommendation and vigorous promotion by Rolling Stone Records, also broke out in the Taiwanese music scene in June.

A bloody road.

Ren Xianqi was also grateful for Jiang Xiaofeng's appreciation and recommendation. He never dreamed that Jiang Xiaofeng, a popular and king-level singer, would actually lend a helping hand to him when he was at his lowest and most desolate.

Ren Xianqi has been looking for an opportunity to thank Jiang Xiaofeng in person, thanking Jiang Xiaofeng for giving him a hand when he needed help the most and allowing him to return to the public eye.

You know, in the first week of the release of "Reliance", the sales volume in Taiwan was only 10,000 copies, but in the second week, it soared to 60,000 copies. For no other reason than Jiang Xiaofeng's sales in Ximending, Taipei

What he said during the interview.

Ren Xianqi's song "Reliance" has therefore appeared on major music charts, ranking behind Jiang Xiaofeng's "Dusk", "Love Transfer", "Ordinary Friends" and other songs.

What makes Jiang Xiaofeng feel puzzled is that maybe because of insufficient promotion, the song "Heart Is Too Soft" is not very popular in Hong Kong and Taiwan. It is not as popular as "Dusk" and "Love Transfer".

The song is popular.

Fortunately, there are no decent competitors in the Chinese music scene in June. In addition, Jiang Xiaofeng's "Cross Era" album has sold extremely high sales. With its "one-stop" sales performance, it surpassed all other albums released in the same period.

, far behind.

Seeing that Jiang Xiaofeng's new album "Across the Ages" has achieved good results in both word-of-mouth and sales, her manager Chen Jiaying also began to send people to investigate the market and began to prepare for Jiang Xiaofeng's concert tour.

Although Chen Jiaying is not a money-grubbing agent and will not treat artists as cash cows and arrange work day and night, she will not pretend to refuse when it is time to make money.

After promoting the album "Cross Era", Chen Jiaying has begun to consider whether to give Jiang Xiaofeng an Asian tour or a world tour.

Of course, the so-called world tour concerts just sound good and have a high quality. In fact, the audience is mainly from some Chinese countries in Asia and Southeast Asia, and there are basically no Nigo and foreign devil audiences.

July 8, 7 p.m.

Jiang Xiaofeng held a celebration banquet in Xiangjiang to celebrate that the total sales of Jiang Xiaofeng's genuine album "Across the Era" exceeded the 3 million mark.

There is no doubt that the sales volume of 3 million copies of this genuine album is certainly impressive, especially the sales volume in mainland China.

In fact, every singer's record sales have a certain amount of moisture, it's just a matter of the level of moisture, but with 2 million genuine sales, "Cross Era" must still have it.

There is nothing we can do about it, piracy is too rampant. Starting from the third week after the release of "Cross Era", pirated copies began to be exported crazily, both in mainland China, Hong Kong and Taiwan.

However, there is no need to be too serious about the sales of Jiang Xiaofeng's "Crossing the Era" album, because as we all know, so far in 1996, the most popular and most talked about record is Jiang Xiaofeng's "Crossing the Era", what a love song prince,

Records from the Four Great Kings, King Killer, etc. will all be put on the back burner.

At the same time, the title song "Heart Is Too Soft" from Jiang Xiaofeng's "Across the Era" album began to slowly become popular in mainland China due to the strong promotion of the record company.
