The straight man in the entertainment circle

Speaking of Li Mengfei's single, Lin Li was naturally a little curious about his album sales.

Lin Li was thinking about it, but Li Mengfei seemed to have seen through his thoughts and said, "Lin Li, I took a look at your album sales data before I came here. Your second album has sold 630,000."

Lin Li's album was released a week earlier than Li Mengfei's single. When Li Mengfei released the single, Lin Li's album sales exceeded 300,000. In other words, after Li Mengfei released the single, Lin Li's album sales also reached 300,000. Ten thousand copies, which is basically the same as Li Mengfei’s singles!

It's rare for an album to sell as well as a single, and Li Mengfei's single is still a big-selling single!

Lin Li was naturally a little surprised. This second album seemed to be even more powerful than the first album. The sales volume of the first album was only about 400,000 in the first month, and now it has increased by half.

Lin Li's first album sold more than one million copies in four months. Although the sales volume was boosted by repeat purchases from the Royal Guards on his 18th birthday, the current look of this second album is that even if the Royal Guardsmen don't repeat Purchase, if this trend continues, it will exceed one million in three months.

One album breaking one million may be due to luck, but if two albums can break one million, it is definitely a proof of strength. There are some people in the music circle who look down on Lin Li, and they have to face such data. Shut up.

"I think Teacher Lin Li will break Fang Fei and Sun Yulong's records sooner or later." Yu Qin praised them from the side.

There are four famous records in the music industry today.

The latest record set by Lin Li, the sales of his debut album exceeded one million!

Fang Fei holds the record of selling 15 million copies of a single EP.

The record held by Sun Yulong, the sales of an album exceeded 5 million.

There is another record held by Zhang Jing, which is that the total sales of all albums exceeded 50 million!

In addition to Lin Li's record, in terms of difficulty, Fang Fei's is the lowest, Sun Yulong's is the second, and Zhang Jing's is the most difficult.

Because the single is cheap, if it has a strong appeal and fans buy it like crazy, and the song is good and attracts a wave of casual fans, then it is not impossible to exceed 15 million sales.

It is a bit difficult for an album to sell more than 5 million.

Albums are more expensive, and there are fewer casual fans to buy them. You can only rely on your own fans to buy them. 5 million is a big number. You have to exclude casual fans and anti-fans, and you can only count them as die-hard fans.

Lin Li currently has 30 million Weibo fans, but his die-hard fans are estimated to be around one million.

Among these three records, Zhang Jing's record is the most difficult.

Because, even if each album sells 5 million copies, it would take ten albums to reach this level to break Zhang Jing's record.

How incredible this is!

Zhang Jing's record has been deemed by industry insiders as a record that can never be broken again!

Zhang Jing's peak period was in the late 1980s and early 1990s, when the record industry was also at its peak. It can be said that his records were created together with him throughout the entire era.

At that time, people had no other forms of entertainment, and listening to music became a necessity in many people’s lives.

At that time, Zhang Jing had to release two to three albums a year, and each album was a hit, which was why he was able to create such amazing sales.

Nowadays, the physical album industry has been declining day by day. It is difficult to find singers who have released ten albums with sales of 500,000 yuan, let alone ten albums with sales of 5 million yuan.

Zhang Jing's record requires the singer to have good sales for each album, which means that each album needs to be of a certain quality, and its own popularity can support the sales of his albums. It is impossible to sell 50 million albums. It was achieved overnight. In Lin Li's case, two albums a year and one album selling one million, it would take Lin Li 25 years to break this record!

In this day and age, it is simply unimaginable!

Nowadays, in this era of entertainment to death, new talents are springing up like mushrooms after rain, and the audience is accustomed to fast-food pop culture. No one can imagine that there are still singers who can be popular for 20 years.

Yu Qin said that Lin Li would break Fang Fei and Sun Yulong's record sooner or later, so she was naturally praising Lin Li, but she did not say that Lin Li would break Zhang Jing's record. Obviously, even if she was praising Lin Li, Yu Qin didn't want to be too false. In my heart, I also feel that Zhang Jing's record cannot be broken.

Of course, Lin Li had already broken Zhou Lingling's first album sales record of 950,000, and was considered one of the four major record holders in the music industry. This was something no one expected.

When Lin Li heard what Yu Qin said, he smiled and said, "I'd like to lend you your kind words."

Li Mengfei asked Song Wenjie some things she needed to pay attention to when participating in the program. It was her first time to participate in the recording of a program, and she was not sure how to handle many aspects.

The two chatted for a while, and then Li Mengfei asked about Lin Lixin's participation in the show "Starting the Show".

Song Wenjie looked at the time and said, "Yeah, the show will be broadcast soon. Let's watch TV."

After saying that, Song Wenjie turned on the TV and tuned it to the Blueberry channel.

There were only a few minutes left before the show "Starting the Show" started. Song Wenjie went to the kitchen to wash the fruits and served a fruit plate and drinks.

The four of them sat down, the Blueberry TV commercial ended, and a 20 o'clock timer popped up in the upper right corner.

And just when the time jumped to 20:00, the program "The Great Show" started!

It started with a long title sequence, and four directors appeared one by one and began to talk about what an actor is.

Then there is a long paragraph of copy.

"The road of an actor is long and arduous. How many people quit midway and leave with hatred, and how many talented people are buried in the sea of ​​​​people without the blessing of the God of Luck. If you want to become a real actor, you need to work hard, persevere, and study hard. Always be prepared for the role.”

"Today, "The Show" provides an opportunity to showcase the actors, and also provides you with many rich roles. Can you grasp them?"

"In response to the call of the program team of "Starting the Show", sixty actors from all over the world gathered here. Whether you have become famous in this industry or are still dormant, here we will not talk about past resume, traffic, or status. When it comes to appearance, we only value strength!”

"Let's work hard together for the role!"

""The Big Show", action!"

In the nearly two-minute opening, the magnetic imperial sound is matched with some performance clips of the day, and it seems to be a bit passionate.

"Okay, okay, it makes me want to act." Li Mengfei said with a smile.

"Then you can wait until the middle of the show to participate. They seem to have a kick-off competition in the middle of the show!" Song Wenjie said.

Li Mengfei was a little frightened and said with a smile: "I'm just telling you, what am I good at? It would be embarrassing to go up there."

In the program, Lin Li and two other celebrity observation groups appeared, and a brief introduction and resume of the three people were printed on the TV screen.

"Wow, Lin Li, you are on the observation team. I thought you were on the competition." Li Mengfei said.

Yu Qin said: "Teacher Lin Li is now a first-line singer. He must not be the same as those unknown actors. It is more than enough to comment on them."

In the show, after the four directors and three celebrity observation groups took their seats, the host Yi Zhuo came on stage.

After reading the long names of sponsors, Yi Zhuo explained the program rules.

Then the actors began to appear one after another.

The first one is Chen Qingqing.

"Wow, this girl is so beautiful!"

When she saw Chen Qingqing for the first time, Li Mengfei couldn't help but admire her.

Li Mengfei herself is a great beauty, and there are not many women who can make her eyes shine.

Lin Li discovered that Chen Qingqing is really photogenic. Some people are good-looking in person but not photogenic. As an actress, this will affect her development.

Beauties like Chen Qingqing, who are both good-looking and photogenic, are absolutely popular in the entertainment industry.

Song Wenjie smiled and said, "That's right, she is the most beautiful."

Lin Li heard what his mother said and said with a smile: "Mom, on the day of the recording of the show, your managers were all in another palace, and you have never seen the actors in the recording. How do you know that she is the most beautiful? There will be others later. Many beautiful actresses didn’t come out.”

"I know it without looking at it." Song Wenjie said a little arrogantly. Anyway, it's up to you to decide who likes such a subjective thing.

"She is only eighteen years old, so young."

After hearing Chen Qingqing's introduction and knowing that Chen Qingqing was the youngest among the actors, Yu Qin said with some envy.

"Is she younger than you?" Li Mengfei asked Lin Li.

Lin Li said: "I don't know, it seems so."

When Li Mengfei heard what Lin Li said, she was actually a little happy and said with a smile: "Why don't you pay attention to such a beautiful beauty?"

"I'm not a womanizer, why should I pay attention?"

Lin Li said speechlessly, but he still felt a little guilty. After all, he did pay more attention to Chen Qingqing at that time.

Li Mengfei smiled, stared at Chen Qingqing for a while, and said with envy: "She is so young and beautiful."

Song Wenjie said: "You are only two years older than her. You are also very good-looking. Look at you. Why do you always envy her?"

"This is not a matter of one or two years old..."

Li Mengfei looked at Lin Li, but what she was thinking was that she would be better off if she were a year or two younger.

Lin Li was puzzled: "What's the problem?"

Song Wenjie seemed to have seen some clues, and secretly cursed her son for not being enlightened.

Li Mengfei was also a little embarrassed. After thinking for a while, she said, "Girls like to look like they are eighteen years old!"

Lin Li nodded with approval and said, "Just like men."

Li Mengfei didn't turn around for a while and asked: "Do boys also like me when I am eighteen?"

"No, no matter how old a man is, he still likes eighteen-year-old girls."

Li Mengfei: “…………”

Song Wenjie: “…………”

Yu Qin: “…………”

Everyone was embarrassed, but fortunately Qin Zhensheng came out at this time in the show.

"The handsome guy from the show is here." Lin Li changed the subject and said.

Song Wenjie glanced at Qin Zhensheng and said, "Well, it's quite eye-catching."

Yu Qin said: "Compared with Teacher Lin Li, it's still worse."

Li Mengfei smiled and said: "Sister Qin, don't be so flattering. If you say that, someone will probably raise their tail."

There are sixty actors, and the program team only highlighted a few of them, and most of the actors' appearances were fleeting.

Except for actors who have long been famous such as Ji Yi, Zhong Yuejiao and Zhang Chaolun, who retained most of their appearance scenes, there were not many actors who were allowed to retain most of their appearance scenes.

And these people are naturally the people that the program team is optimistic about.

Needless to say, Chen Qingqing and Qin Zhensheng, the first two actors and actresses to appear, are the favorites of the program team.

Lin Li lamented: "It took several hours to record this, but the result came out in ten minutes."

"It's good to get used to it. Even if so many people are released, no one would want to watch it. The program team must have released some people they like to impress the public." After Song Wenjie finished speaking, she added, "I would say Chen Qingqing It must be popular, look at the show team, the appearance scenes they give are no less than those of the famous actors behind."

Lin Li couldn't refute and said, "Yes, yes, my mother is wise and has a sharp eye."

Li Mengfei smiled and said: "I am also optimistic about this Chen Qingqing."

Song Wenjie pulled Li Mengfei and said, "It seems that we have similar eyes, but my son actually said that she..."

Song Wenjie paused and said, "Look, it should be available later."

Li Mengfei became curious, so she didn't ask further questions and looked at it seriously.

At this time, Yi Zhuo asked the directors to start announcing the roles they had recruited. After the directors finished speaking, in order to allow the audience to make a better intuitive judgment, information about the actors recruited by each group of directors was printed on the program screen.

Guo Xiaoshan group: first male, second female.

Shi Wei group: second male, second female.

Li Chunhua group: third male, third female.

Zhang Dasong's group: two supporting actors.

"It's hard to choose." Song Wenjie said.

"Well, if director Zhang Dasong had three men and three women, I think most people would choose him." Li Mengfei said.

Yu Qin said: "It's hard to say. Director Zhang Dasong must be a master. For those actors who are not particularly confident, they may choose a less competitive director group."

"But now that Zhang Dashong only gave two supporting roles, the appeal has suddenly become much smaller. In this way, the appeal of the four directors seems to be about the same." Song Wenjie said.

"Well, it actually looks better this way."

After Li Mengfei finished speaking, she looked at Lin Li and asked, "Lin Li, if you were an actor in the show, which director would you choose?"

Lin Li thought about it and found that his favorite among the four directors was director Zhang Dashong, followed by actor Shi Wei, because Shi Wei had never been a director and was not sure about her directorial skills, but as far as actors were concerned, Lin Li liked her There are still a lot of favorable opinions, and then there is the director Li Chunhua. The one I dislike most is Guo Xiaoshan, whether it is his books or his movies, because his books and movies are always filled with the smell of money.

"If I had to choose, I would probably choose Zhang Dasong." Lin Li said.

"Play a supporting role." Li Mengfei said something disgusting for Lin Li. After all, Lin Li is now a first-line singer. Even if his acting skills have not been verified, the market feedback and topics will not make him play a supporting role. "You are also willing?"

"I don't think it matters whether the supporting role is supporting or not. The main thing is that the character attracts me. If it doesn't attract me, I'll just stop acting." Lin Li said.

"You are right, but if it were me, I would probably choose Shi Wei. I feel like she is like a close sister." Li Mengfei said.

Lin Li suddenly smiled and said: "I said let's not think about these things here. It's as if if we choose them, they will want it."

Li Mengfei laughed, she was really thinking too much.
