Chapter 339 Official praise: Brother Yang is the new hope of the music industry
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, all parts of the country were in a frenzy.
Many people have nothing to do on this day and choose to go to the mall for shopping and fun.
In many places, the music played was Su Yang's. "Blue and White Porcelain" was particularly popular. Last night, Su Yang's performance of "Blue and White Porcelain" on the Spring Festival Gala was voted the most popular piece by countless viewers. Qin Shuyao's "Human World" was a close second, and the couple stole the spotlight throughout the entire Spring Festival Gala.
The news of Su Yang's new album released early in the morning has further elevated his popularity during this Spring Festival. This album is particularly high quality and has been hailed by fans as the best Spring Festival gift.
Throughout the first day of the Lunar New Year, Su Yang’s new album "I'm Very Busy" became the hot news of the day.
The songs in it are also talked about by countless people.
After watching the entire album, Li Zhengwen and Lin Shuwei even posted comments on Weibo.
"I just finished watching Yang Zai's new album, and I feel so relieved. I see him as a key figure in the Chinese music scene for the next 20 years. What a blessing for the Chinese music scene!"
Li Zhengwen was generous with his praise. Such praise also made Su Yang's fans very proud. Who is Li Zhengwen? He was once a leading figure in the Chinese music scene, a true master. Now Li Zhengwen's words are an affirmation of Su Yang and a recognition of Su Yang's strength.
"There is no doubt that he is the future king!"
Lin Shuwei is more straightforward. The future king, of course, is the king of the music world.
Su Yang also saw the praise from the outside world, but he didn't pay much attention to it. After all, the album had been released, so he would just let it go if it had any impact.
Tang Qing wasn't idle on New Year's Day. Since she had nothing else to do, she decided to promote Su Yang's album. Although Su Yang already had a lot of traffic, adding some promotion would have made it even more effective.
In the big villa, Su Yang's family is very lively.
It’s Chinese New Year and all the family members are here.
Add four children to the mix and it was a lively place. The four little ones were also very energetic today, rolling around in the living room.
Su Yang and Qin Shuyao didn't get up early and slept until after nine o'clock.
Zhao Xiuxiu didn't call them to get up. After all, they came back so late last night, so they should sleep as long as possible.
During the Spring Festival, we don’t talk about work, we only talk about happiness.
The sales of "I'm Busy" are rising, and more and more people are liking the songs in this album. Almost everyone can find their favorite song in this album.
Everyone has different tastes and likes different songs, which fully demonstrates the quality of this album.
The Chinese music scene hasn't seen an album of this quality in years. Look at people today; their favorite songs are still from over a decade or even twenty years ago. This is tragic, a step backward.
Although there are not many popular songs on the Internet, most of them are just catchy songs. After being popular for a while, they become boring when you listen to them again.
That's why people say the Chinese music scene is in decline, or even on hiatus. But now, Su Yang's new album has given many people in the industry hope. Although many people are unconvinced, after listening to this album, some have to admit that Su Yang's talent is truly incredible.
Along with the popularity, the album's sales have also increased. The powerful fan-attracting function of the Gold Medal has been fully demonstrated. Many people who listened to the songs with a trial mentality ended up becoming die-hard fans after listening to them.
Good works are so popular that even if they are not die-hard fans, many people can't help but buy this album. After all, copyright awareness is relatively strong now. If you don't buy the album, you really can't hear these songs anywhere else. Even self-media videos cannot use these songs.
Unless Su Yang's album songs are logged into the self-media music library, everyone can use them at that time. In this era, this time is generally not too long. Many singers will upload their works to the self-media music library a week or a month after the album is released.
And self-media editing videos and using these songs as background music also requires money. In the copyright era, there are too many ways to make money from a piece of music.
Su Yang's album sales were growing at a frenzied pace. Meanwhile, Hua Manrong's album sales, next door, seemed to have plateaued. While there was still some growth, it was completely sluggish. At this rate, they wouldn't even be able to sell the last two million copies.
Not only was the album a disaster, but Hua Manrong also experienced a massive fan loss. In just one day, he lost millions of fans. This was the most serious issue.
At the same time, Tianhu Entertainment also received more serious news. That was the concert tickets. Tianhu Entertainment had originally planned ten concerts for Hua Manyong within a month, and many tickets had already been pre-sold.
Now, there's a massive ticket refund phenomenon, even scalpers are doing it. Scalpers are incredibly discerning; if they think a concert can be profitable, they'll hoard tickets and sell them at a high price. The fact that scalpers are refunding tickets suggests they're extremely pessimistic about the concert.
The loss was huge, and the Tianhu boss and Hua Manrong were in a very depressed mood the whole day. The good mood of the New Year was gone, and the New Year was just a fart.
I spent so much money on this new album, and now it's become a joke. The more aggressive the promotion was before, the more embarrassing it is now.
The results are starkly there: the album sales aren't going up, and the album's reputation has plummeted. It's so embarrassing.
"Brother-in-law, sales have exceeded 30 million..."
In the evening, after finishing his meal, Qin Shumo suddenly put down his phone and looked up at Su Yang and said. This made Su Yang stunned, and Qin Shuyao was also stunned, and quickly turned on the phone to log into the data network.
After seeing the data of Su Yang's new album, Qin Shuyao also widened her eyes.
30 million, Su Yang's new album "I'm Busy" just broke 30 million in sales. This data made Qin Shuyao swallow her saliva, and Su Yang was also very surprised. This was a bit too high.
"Sister Qing didn't cheat on the charts, did she?"
Su Yang couldn't help but look at Qin Shuyao and asked.
"How could that be? She's the smartest..."
Qin Shuyao said directly, and then they both took a deep breath. This achievement broke the record for album sales in the Chinese music scene.
Look at the time, it's only a little after 8 o'clock. Twelve hours after release, the album sales exceeded 30 million, which seems exaggerated no matter how you think about it.
"Brother-in-law, I think maybe everyone's engaging in some kind of revenge spending spree. These past few years, there haven't been many songs worth listening to in the Chinese music scene. Even fewer albums are worth buying. Now that your album is out, it seems like a lot of people have suddenly found a community. In my class, many of my classmates have already bought it, saying it's been a while since they've encountered an album they love..."
Qin Shumo couldn't help but say this, and Qin Shuyao nodded. It seemed to make some sense, revenge spending. For countless Chinese music fans, because they hadn't encountered an album they liked in so long, when they encountered Su Yang's album this time, some people who had never bought albums before couldn't help but spend money to buy it.
Another important factor is the increased awareness of copyright over the years. The government's crackdown on piracy is so severe that pirated content is now extremely rare. This has also fostered a spending habit among consumers. With so many people in China and Su Yang's fan base, a sales figure of 30 million is acceptable.
After the shock, the family became happy. Money, these are just small amounts of money.
"How about donating some?"
Su Yang couldn't help but say.
"Return the Donation"
Zhao Xiuxiu looked at Su Yang. Every time he donated money, Zhao Xiuxiu felt distressed. This was all the hard-earned money, why should he donate it?
"Donate some..."
Qin Shuyao nodded. She thought, "Let's donate some. The sales are so impressive. A modest donation will earn us a good reputation."
"Well, then let's donate 30 million. It can be regarded as a memorial..."
Su Yang said with a smile, then took out his cell phone and sent a Weibo message.
"Thank you all for your support. The album sales have officially exceeded 30 million. I will definitely live up to your love. To commemorate the album's 30 million sales, I will donate 30 million RMB to the Sibao Charity Foundation. Once again, I wish everyone a happy new year..."
Su Yang posted a Weibo.
"Brother Yang, Happy New Year..."
"Hahaha, this song is so good. I've been listening to it all day..."
"Thank you, Brother Yang. This is such a great surprise..."
"Brother Yang is still full of positive energy..."
“When will the next album be released…?”
"Fuck, you dare to ask..."
"Brother Yang is so powerful..."
After the Weibo post was published, the comments section became lively. Su Yang's followers had increased significantly today. Currently, Su Yang's followers have reached 67.52 million, while before the Spring Festival Gala, Su Yang's followers had just exceeded 50 million.
In just one day, they gained 17 million followers. That's a huge increase. Compare that to Hua Manrong, who originally had over 23 million followers, but now has just over 20 million. Losing 3 million followers in one day would have Hua Manrong practically fainting in tears.
"A new record in the Chinese music scene. Only when the artists are sincere can the fans be sincere..."
Just as everyone was discussing Su Yang's new album record that evening, a certain daily newspaper unexpectedly published an article. In the article, the newspaper directly praised Su Yang by name.
Su Yang's album is full of sincerity. Every song is of extremely high quality. For a singer, writing a good song is the greatest sincerity. And sales are the sincerity of fans.
It was sincerity that created this record.
"Facts have proven that any flashy hype is less effective than sincere works. Only by shedding superficiality can we create better works and gain more support from the audience. If we just blindly hype, we will eventually be abandoned by the audience."
At the end of the article, the daily newspaper said something quite meaningful.
Tianhu boss and Hua Manrong also read the article quickly. When they saw this paragraph, they felt cold all over. Damn, this is almost a criticism. Damn, it really is raining on a rainy night. The newspaper used it as a negative example. Look at it now, isn't it a negative example?
One is full of hype and publicity, the other is calm and dedicated to making good works. As a result, the sales volume is very different. Such a good negative example, no wonder it happened in the daily newspaper. What a good educational scene.
