I didn't want to be an actor

"Zhou Jielun's Bedtime Stories" is the highest quality album of Zhou Jielun's later years, which is about the same level as "Octave Space" and much better than "The Greatest Work"!

In fact, Zhou Jielun is the first person in the mainland to make digital albums - "Oh, Not Bad" in 2014 opened the era of domestic digital albums.

The digital album of "Oh, Not Bad" was released 2 days earlier than the physical album, and buyers have exclusive rights to download high-definition lossless music.

QQ Music also designed a luxury gift package for this, including Jay Chou's confession book, private photos, and exclusive MV highlights. Users will receive an exclusive album nameplate after purchasing.

This digital album sold 150,000 copies during the Christmas period alone, and the first battle explored a certain model for the sale of domestic digital music albums.

The sales volume reached 3.49 million, which injected a shot in the arm to the sluggish music market. It turns out that the Internet does not necessarily play a dirge for "records".

But in the past few years, there are actually only two types of singers who can sell digital albums and sell well:

Either idol singers who can make fans spend money;

Or top singers like Jie Lun and Lin Junjie who will never lose a penny of the song's popularity even if they are paid.

Singers like Xue Zhiqian and Xu Shangao who can occupy a large area in the Chinese music scene have been following the "free song release" model for so many years...

If mid-level original singers pay to release songs, wouldn't it be equivalent to cutting off the way for their works to be known by more people?

Deng Ziqi's "Revelation" and Li Ronghao's "Zongheng Sihai" have never charged, because they know that compared with the income brought by digital albums, a hit song may be able to get more.

Shen Liang's self-positioning is definitely a top singer...

But there are still many fans willing to spend money for him-the total sales of the last EP were 3.86 million copies, with sales exceeding 30 million!

The album is priced at 25 yuan.

Shen Liang's expectation is 2 million copies, and the sales volume is 50 million!

So, he was not bragging when he said it was better than "Zhou Jielun's Bedtime Story"...

Zhang Yixin can sell nearly 3 million copies, so Shen Liang...there is no reason why it can't sell better!

...

"Youth", "Profile", "As Wish", "People Are", "Passing by the World", "Beyond the Sky", six songs on Side A;

"The Wind Rises", "Arrogant", "Walking Fish", "Your Answer", "Mohe Ballroom", "Looking for Him in the West Chamber", six songs on Side B;

There is also a song "Empty", which was sung by Deng Ziqi...

"Passing by the World", "The Wind Rises", and "Walking Fish" have all been sung on "Singer" and singles have also been released.

Oh, why not ask Meng Shanzhi to sing with you?

Or other female singers from Rocket Girls?

Aren't they popular?

Alas, Rocket Girls is in a mess. Lehua, the agency of Meng Shanzhi, Wu Xuanyi and Zhang Zining, issued a statement ten days before the Rocket Girls' group press conference: Because of the signing of an unequal agreement, the company's artists Meng Shanzhi, Wu Xuanyi and Zhang Zining withdrew from Rocket Girls 101. They also said that the three of them were overloaded with work, physically exhausted and mentally affected.

I am speechless. Isn't the purpose of participating in the show to debut as a group? Is it okay to hold people hostage?

Don't participate in talent shows in the future. If you don't have a sense of play, what's the point of playing!

Wajijiwa is so angry...

Still cooperating?

Cooperation is bullshit!

However, Lehua has Alibaba funds, which means it has been completely integrated into the Alibaba system...

Let's talk about the album "Shen Liang". It was announced that it would be launched on the 10th. In 24 hours, the number of people who pre-ordered the new digital album exceeded 6 million;

Also in 24 hours, the new digital album sold more than 2 million copies;

At noon on the 8th, the "Youth" MV was launched. In just 15 minutes, the QQ Music keyword rushed to the second place on Weibo's hot search, and the real-time dynamics were full of users sharing various new songs.

At that moment, nearly one million people were listening to the song "Youth".

On the evening of the 8th, the sound source of "Youth" was opened. As of the evening of September 12, the number of auditions of the new song was close to 350 million times...

More than 1.8 million fans have paid for the entire album.

That's right, the album has not been officially released yet, but the sales have reached 36 million, directly topping the second place on the digital album best-selling list...

Not to mention the industry, Shen Liang himself was stunned!

…

“…I am a more traditional musician. I always think that Chinese music should follow its own development path…”

“In the Rolling Stone list of the 500 greatest albums of all time, 96.8% are from the UK and the US, of which 499 are English albums and only 1 is non-English album. Does this mean that Northern Europe, Japan, and China cannot produce good rock music?

Not necessarily. This is mainly a problem of popularity brought by language.

Non-English albums are not as popular as English albums in terms of popularity!”

“The level of music production…is something that can be bought with money. I The production team used by many of our traffic is no worse than that of the general European and American big names.

The so-called "influence" is more about whether there are points for dissemination rather than the level of production! "

Shen Liang accepted an exclusive interview with "QQ Music" and talked about his musical philosophy...

"The scope of the four words "Chinese music" is too broad and too narrow. It is broad because the Chinese-speaking population accounts for 20% of the world's population, and it is narrow because the mainstream Chinese-speaking group is still concentrated in the "Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan and Mainland" market. Whether it is hard power or soft power, it can only go around in this big circle and can never break out of our cultural circle. "

"Modern pop music originated in Europe and America. Most of what we play now is these. The pop music, classical music, rock music, hip-hop music, and blues you hear are all from others... We will definitely not be able to beat them if we play these. We also need to make our own music with national characteristics, our own ancient style songs."

"Going to the world... I think we should go to the masses first. Who doesn't have a dream?"

...

The content of the interview is directly linked to the album "Shen Liang". Those who bought the album can see it directly...

On the 10th, "Nobody" was released for 13 days and the box office exceeded 600 million;

Shen Liang sent a Weibo to thank the audience, and then sent another Weibo after a while, 'I almost forgot that my first album "Shen Liang" was officially released at noon today... I hope everyone will support it. In addition, don't buy too much... Buy one to listen to yourself, and buy another one to give to a friend... I have discussed with the platform that each ID is limited to 5 copies! ’

“Finally, I have an announcement. There are 3,000 physical records and 500 vinyl records of Shen Liang. They are all produced by factories and are in my hands. If you can’t buy them, the studio will hold a lottery and randomly select 3,000 copies according to the numbers of the digital albums. We will send them to you... The 500 vinyl records... will be handled in a similar way. Once you get them, just listen to them yourself. No reselling is allowed..."

After posting the Weibo, I felt the car stopped and looked at Chen Jiadong: "Are we there?"

Chen Jiadong stretched his head to look, then shook his head: "... Wait a minute, there's a traffic jam..."

"I told you that we should take the light rail..."

"...Brother, you are very popular now, take the light rail? How dare you say that!"

Oh, they have arrived in Chongqing - "Sunshine" is about to start.
