She brought out the essence of every song. Coupled with her naturally powerful and penetrating voice, it's fair to say that in many aspects, she surpassed the original singer's memory.
Of course, this is just Xiao Weiguo's personal opinion. To see how it really is, we need to put it into the market and let the market and the public test it.
Xiao Weiguo decided that for the first publication, 50,000 sets of deluxe cassette tapes would be released to the market.
After all, the main way to listen to music in this era was through tape recorders.
Thus, without any warning, Zhou Ruolan's first solo album was released by Panlong Culture and Entertainment Company.
My Loulan
Overnight, it spread to audio stores of all sizes in major first-tier cities.
At first, no one paid attention, but when one heart-stirring song after another rang out in the streets and alleys, almost everyone who heard it was amazed by these beautiful songs.
Not only are the lyrics breathtaking, but each song is also more wondrous than the last. What's even more captivating is the singer, Zhou Ruolan, whom I've never heard of before.
Her voice was so pure, with such a wide range that it spanned several octaves, that it was completely flawless.
In less than half a month, her voice spread throughout the country, creating a huge wave in the music market.
The first batch of 30,000 cassette tapes from Panlong Culture and Entertainment Company were quickly snapped up.

It's not just one or two companies that are counterfeiting; many companies have jumped on the bandwagon. Even if you report it to the higher authorities, you simply can't catch them all.
The only thing he can do is to further improve the quality of the cassette tapes, strive to achieve a sound quality that no one can imitate, thereby gaining the recognition of some elites, and add anti-counterfeiting measures to the packaging to prevent counterfeiters from passing off inferior products as genuine ones.
As for those lower-tier markets, we have no choice but to give them up. Some people care more about money and don't have high requirements for quality.
There's nothing anyone can do about this. There are countless examples of this in the past. No matter how awesome you are, you can't escape the scourge of piracy.
Moreover, this first edition cassette tape, like the movie Red Apple, was mostly used to build brand awareness.
Xiao Weiguo still had many more big moves to make.
