November.
This is a month that is destined to be impossible to ignore.
Especially in the eyes of many media people, this November may be the craziest storm in the Chinese music scene.
Many popular hit songs and countless MVs of various types have appeared on the rankings of major websites and in video advertisements in major music stores...
Different hit songs are played almost every day in the streets and alleys, and long queues form in the music stores almost every day...
Chen Feng, Wang Lei, Zhou Xiaofeng, An Xiao...
Almost half of the top singers in the entertainment industry released new albums this month.
The entertainment news section has also become the object of competition among major singers at this moment!
Many big-name figures appear in major entertainment news sections every day, competing for headlines in various ways.
certainly……
An Xiao's popularity is terrifying.
It topped all major trending search lists and media portals on just the first day!
Of course, the focus of this first place is not An Xiao himself, but the story that An Xiao brings!
People on the Internet are talking about An Xiao, Lu Yuan, and Mrs. Lu's stories everywhere, and are looking forward to An Xiao's participation in the talk show "Your Story" in two days.
An Xiao, Lu Yuan, Wang Jinxue...
Perhaps in everyone's eyes, this relationship seems a little confusing!
This topic is enduring.
After dominating the headlines for a day, this news was replaced by another news about Zhou Xiaofeng!
King Zhou has also started to hype himself up!
The next day, the entertainment news broke that Zhou Tianwang had been secretly married to his wife for many years, and his wife was someone outside the entertainment industry. They even had a little daughter, and the title song of Zhou Tianwang's new album was inspired by his daughter...
This moment...
There was another round of excitement and noise.
King Zhou’s appeal is quite terrifying, and with such big news breaking out, the huge wave that was set off on this day was exceptionally terrifying!
However, this headline only lasted for one day.
After a day of popularity, the next day, the headlines in the entertainment industry said that Wang Lei had been suspected of taking drugs and was exposed by her agent. Wang Lei then released the urine test report and sued her agent...
Subsequently, a large number of heated discussions among internet trolls emerged on the Internet.
Netizens inexplicably feel that this is what the entertainment industry is really like.
However, anyone with a bit of common sense knows that the rumors about Queen Wang Lei taking drugs are pure hype and a way to gain popularity.
but……
The entertainment industry should act like the entertainment industry, right?
After seeing such an entertainment industry, netizens have an inexplicable sense of relief. In addition to the sense of relief, there is also an inexplicable sense of joy.
While everyone is working hard and trying their best to gain popularity, rock king Chen Feng has become the eternal second...
No matter how much he hypes himself up, how hard he tries, or how desperately he tries...
He always ranks second in popularity, like a green leaf, serving as a foil to one protagonist after another.
As for the album sales...
All right……
Perhaps in this November when everyone is showing off their talents, Chen Feng's rock album really looks ordinary.
The album sales only exceeded 500,000 on the first day.
Five hundred thousand...
This data is not bad and can be considered barely qualified.
but……
He came in last.
Yes!
The last-place result really blinded Chen Feng's eyes.
November 10th.
It’s the fifth day since Chen Feng’s album was released.
The total album sales finally exceeded 1.3 million, honorably ranking last in album sales in November.
Maintaining its ranking steadily.
Mmm, this taste...
No matter what others think, Chen Feng himself feels very uncomfortable.
As for the album that currently ranks first in November, An Xiao's "Little Lucky" has sold over 7 million copies in just four days, directly breaking the record of 6 million copies of Wang Xiaoyang's "Wrong, Wrong"...
This record is actually crazy enough.
Many media outlets are keeping a close eye on An Xiao, the new queen who will be born in the future!
As for King Zhou’s new album, it also set a record of selling six million copies in five days.
When many netizens saw the top-down data on the monthly album sales chart.
They suddenly had an illusion!
That means the cold winter has not yet arrived, and everything is just right!
Even many experts and scholars in the entertainment industry jumped out at this moment and spoke some specious inspirational speeches.
Albums are not dead!
The grand occasion remains.
Perhaps it was a good start, as countless singers announced the birth and release of new albums in the following days...
Many high-ranking figures in the entertainment industry were watching this scene.
They seemed to see a piece of cake!
A company called Parkson has created five singers in succession and put all its efforts into creating new albums for these five singers.
November!
This is an extremely glorious month for the entire Chinese music scene!
But at the same time, behind the glory lies a huge trap.
People seem to only remember the people at the top of the pyramid, but always forget that they are just at the bottom of the pyramid.
November 14th.
When Parkson Entertainment stared at the data that the combined first-day sales of the five singers' new albums were less than 200,000, they were stunned.
They were dizzy for a moment and could not accept this ridiculous data at all.
He invested nearly 20 million to create new albums for his singers, including various packaging and publicity.
Then……
The total profit was less than 200,000 yuan.
This seems...
Some are discouraging.
certainly!
They are not the first...
It seems that starting from November 14th, the album sales of everyone except An Xiao and Zhou Tianwang shrank drastically in an instant. Of course, even the album sales of An Xiao and Zhou Tianwang inevitably began to decline, but the decline was slightly smaller.
Chen Feng?
Chen Feng is an unlucky guy!
He even only received around 100,000 album sales for the entire day.
After seeing this data, Chen Feng was dumbfounded.
Not only did his carefully prepared album fail to generate a certain amount of popularity and ridicule, but it seemed to be a flop?
“Is rock and roll dead?”
"No, it's not that rock is dead! It's that physical albums are dead. Yes! All the glory is just an illusion. Physical albums are dead!"
“This is the final glory!”
"Yes, no one can stop this decay! This is the end of an era!"
"Yes!"
Chen Feng was muttering to himself in the office!
Then...
When Chen Feng saw the headlines in the entertainment industry, he began to feel dazed, followed by a trembling sensation!
He suddenly understood why these people's album sales suddenly dropped!
because……
Lu Yuan's "The Legend of 1900" received an astonishing eight Oscar nominations!
There are even heavyweight nominations such as Best Actor!
He is also the first Chinese person to be nominated for an Oscar for Best Actor!
Of course, although this news is heavy, Lu Yuan’s interview with a reporter named Zhou is even more heavy.
"Ah... nominated for an Oscar? Why didn't you all know about it? Could it be fake news? Okay, okay, anyway, do you want me to say something like that? Well, anyway, please support my new movie "Ip Man". This will be a patriotic movie that incorporates Chinese martial arts. This movie will reveal to you..."
Under the lens.
Lu Yuan smiled and started to praise his new movie "Ip Man" which was written by him and will be released tomorrow in front of all the netizens and audiences...
Lu Yuan talked endlessly about the essence of the movie.
Everyone was stunned when they heard this.
They always feel that something is wrong, but they can't find what it is.
In short, all major media outlets and netizens were successfully misled by Lu Yuan.
In particular, a reporter named Zhou shamelessly asked questions about the movie "Ip Man".
It really looked like the two of them were performing a duet.
“…”
“…”
In short, whether it is the netizens scolding Lu Yuan for being shameless in advertising and criticizing the so-called martial arts movies, or some people in the entertainment industry scolding Lu Yuan for being untrustworthy, it is all useless for him to shamelessly monopolize all the attention even though he obviously cannot make the headlines.
The direct consequence was that Lu Yuan alone overshadowed the entire music industry in November.
No matter if a certain singer has taken drugs before!
Whether it’s a certain singer’s explosive sales, or any fancy headlines…
These have all become yesterday's news.
There is no publicity and advertising effect of the headlines.
Then the album sales will naturally not be able to stand out.
In the office.
Chen Feng looked at Lu Yuan deeply.
He seemed to see layers of dark clouds covering the sky.
Heavy, oppressive, and at the same time suffocating.
Big devil.
He struck again!
But……
Deep inside Chen Feng's heart, there was a deep anger hidden. This anger was like a flame, making his face extremely red.
then!
He finally couldn't bear it anymore and called Lu Yuan again!
On the phone, he questioned Lu Yuan.
"Lu Yuan, didn't you say that you wanted to keep a low profile in November and not cause any trouble? Can't you let the Chinese music scene go and give it a chance to survive? Lu Yuan, please be a human being."
"Brother Chen... Actually, I don't want this to happen, but I can't control the Oscar nominations... It suddenly gave me so many nominations, and I can't do anything about it. Besides, Brother Chen, you know me. I have always been kind, honest, and I mean what I say..."
"Lu Yuan, you..."
"Brother Chen, don't be angry. Besides, you can't blame me for this. I've always said that the Internet age is coming... You really can't blame me..."
"Lu Yuan, I can't argue with you..."
"Brother Chen, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry... Anyway, I really didn't keep my word. I swear, from now until December 15th, I will use all my abilities to try not to make the headlines in the entertainment industry, and not to run any advertisements. I hope you can supervise me! Of course, if there are external factors, then... In short, I will try my best not to let anyone down!"
"Lu Yuan... I... I... I don't have a heart disease, but you're going to make me have one!"
After talking to Lu Yuan on the phone, Chen Feng not only did not calm down, but became even angrier.
But I couldn't vent this anger.
Yes, he really wanted to vent, but he had no way!
after all……
He felt that Lu Yuan was acting crazy and pretending to be cool in front of him.
and……
It's a force that I can't refute at all!
Others are trying their best to make the headlines!
And you...
But fucking!
Use all your strength to not make headlines!
What the hell!
What's the meaning?
…
"A Yuan? The premiere of Ip Man is today. How about taking some time to go and watch?"
“No…”
"What's wrong? Is there something wrong?"
"fine……"
"Then why..."
"Fatty Wei, I've realized something. At the same time, I've been in endless reflection these past two days. Perhaps, my existence is out of place. I'm suddenly tired and exhausted. Brother Chen's call woke me up... At this moment, I made a decision. I plan to use all my strength, all my energy, and even everything I have to make me a real me..."
"Speak human language?"
"I don't want to be on the headlines anymore. I want to turn over a new leaf!"
"ah?"
“…”
Fatty Wei hung up the phone.
The whole person was at a loss.
What's wrong with Lu Yuan?
Is he planning some big move again?
Turn over a new leaf?
