Chapter 210 The Controversy of Virtual Idols

The "October Space" album was launched within 24 hours, including pre-sales and physical albums, a total of 396 million copies were sold.

"Jay" has sold 175 million copies so far.After "Octa Space" was released, the sales journey of "Jay" on all platforms officially came to an end. Fans who didn't spend money on the album can finally listen to the album on QQ Music without having to spend money.

Of course, for a popular singer like Li Hyuk, how could QQ Music allow listeners to listen to songs for free, and "Jay" was added to the VIP music library.If you think it sounds good, you have to spend money. If you don’t want to spend more than a dozen yuan a month as a VIP, then you have no choice.

After the sales tour, the total sales of "Jay" reached 175 million copies. According to current industry standards, this album has reached the platinum record standard.

According to the standards of the National Recording Industry Association, 50 sales are gold records, and 100 million sales are platinum records.Note that those EPs and single releases will not be counted in it, even if they are calculated, they need to be converted.

For example, Yuan Hua's single "Just Because You Are So Beautiful", which sold 3000 million copies, sold less than [-] albums according to the standard.

Now the album sales can reach platinum sales, only a few singers such as Lee Hyuk, and then you can only go to the 90s to find them, when diamond album sales were all available.

The sales volume of diamond records means that the sales volume of a single album reaches more than 1000 million copies, and there are only two Chinese singers who can reach this figure.

"Kiss Goodbye" by song god Zhang Xueyou, and the first generation sweet girl Deng Lijun...

In the last two years, Lee Hyuk is the only singer who has achieved platinum sales in a row. His company's band Guns N' Roses' first album "Flower Girl" sold 130 million copies, also reaching platinum sales.

There is also SHE, which has become the top girl group in the Chinese pop music scene. "Girls Dormitory" has sold more than 150 million copies so far, and it is still accumulating. It seems that it is not a problem to surpass Lee Hyuk's first album sales.

As for Cosmic Girls, a girl group who hit the streets, who still remembers...

However, none of these albums can compare to Lee Hyuk's epoch-making "Fantasy", which made him crowned king.Since its release in November last year, as of July 714th, the "Fantasy" album has reached seven platinum sales, with a total of [-] million copies.

Although there are still less than 300 million copies to reach the sales of diamond records, "Fantasy" has already reached its peak, and it is difficult to have room for improvement in sales.

These albums need to be certified by the Recording Association. On July 16th, the China Recording Association of the International Recording Association announced on Weibo to "Jay", "Fantasy", "Flower Girl", "Girls" Dormitory" four albums issued sales certification.

Fantasia Records also posted the certificate of certification on Weibo, attracting onlookers and blessings from netizens.

Passing the certification means that your album sales data is true and not fake, and has been recognized by the international recording industry.

This recognition is different from the self-promotion of Xiaoxianrou fans, which is affirmed by the industry. To a certain extent, the certification of record sales is even more important than the Golden Melody Award for Best Male Singer.

Li Hyuk no longer needs to prove his talent, nor does he need to prove the commercial profitability of his records.He is one of the few singers whose records can make money. Even if he does not participate in variety shows to maintain his popularity, he still has the support of a large number of fans.

It is said that the recently aired "Tomorrow's Son" program has caused a lot of controversy. The main reason is that there is a very special contestant. This contestant is a virtual idol, a Two-dimensional character, and he also came to participate in the program.

As a result, the three star tweeters had different opinions on this virtual idol. Xue Zhiqian believed that this programmed virtual idol was not qualified to participate in the program at all.

And Da Mi Mi believes that existence is reasonable, and if someone likes it, it has the value of existence.

So Li Hyuk became a victim in the middle, on the one hand, Xue Zhiqian put forward some talent theory: "I am not against a virtual idol written by a computer program, but it is a problem that it does not have surprises.

If you came out today and sang "Lovely Woman" and sang "Love in BC," you'd blow up, you know?
But no surprises, that's your biggest problem. "

Da Mimi has a different opinion: "I think since Hezi has been liked by so many fans, it has a reason to exist. What do you think, Li Hyuk?"

Li Hyuk rubbed his chin and said, "I've always emphasized that aesthetics is a very subjective thing, Hezi is a Two-dimensional idol, and many nerds also like Two-dimensional handsome men and beautiful women, it's not unusual.

But that's only active in the Two-dimensional world, breaking through the dimensional wall may bring more shock than surprise. "

Li He didn't stand for Xue Zhiqian, nor did he stand for Da Mi Mi, but just followed Zhongke's analysis.

And this episode, Hezi advanced, Xue Zhiqian threw the microphone and left the stage angrily, and successfully sent himself and the program group to the hot search,

As the only virtual idol in the talent show "Tomorrow's Son", Hezi's promotion path has been accompanied by many controversies.Many viewers believe that it is unfair for two-dimensional players to compete with real players.

This incident of throwing the microphone pushed Hezi to the forefront of public opinion.Even after the show was broadcast, some viewers shouted that Hezi's continuous promotion is the biggest shady part of the show.

In fact, it is not that there are no popular virtual idols in China. Luo Tianyi and Hatsune Miku are both representatives of virtual two-dimensional idols. They can even hold concerts and are sought after by fans.

But those two virtual idols are so popular, why did Hezi, who was popular in Penguin's "Tomorrow's Son", arouse so much controversy, and even disgusted many viewers?

It's not that the program team didn't analyze it afterwards, and the reason they finally concluded was that Hezi was too human-like.

Doesn't sound like a bad thing, doesn't it sound like a human?But the meaning of virtual idols being sought after by people is to meet people's needs and do things that people can't achieve.

Since the competition, the number of fans of Hezi has skyrocketed, soaring to millions of fans.

However, it was not only the fans who accompanied Hezi all the way to the promotion, but also the voices of doubts that never stopped.Since Hezi is a fictitious character, he seemed a little out of place in "Tomorrow's Son" where all real people participated.

Many viewers believe that Hezi's singing songs are recorded in advance, and every competition is a perfect performance.This is very unfair to real players competing on the same stage.

Some viewers even complained: "This is like a horse race, and a BMW suddenly appears to participate."

It is precisely because of this that Xue Zhiqian got angry. During the one-on-one match between Hezi and Zhao Tianyu, Xue Zhiqian bombarded the program team and suggested that he voted for Hezi, so that Hezi should not lose too badly.

It turned out that because of this vote, the real player Zhao Tianyu lost to Hezi, and Xue Zhiqian angrily slammed the microphone, which caused a half-hour live broadcast accident of the show.

Some viewers thought that Xue Zhiqian was pretending to be angry to hype up the topic, but more viewers pointed the finger at the program group, thinking that "Tomorrow's Son" had a shady scene and was recommending Hezi to advance.

Soon, some angry viewers poured into Hezi's Weibo, scolding Hezi for being a shady person in the show, and even asked Hezi to get out of "Tomorrow's Son".

And Hezi still went his own way, and continued to rank among the top ten players in the popularity list.

In fact, China's two-dimensional cultural foundation is far inferior to that of the island country next door. As a multi-circle idol talent show, "Tomorrow's Son" also considers the two-dimensional audience.

However, the program team obviously overestimated the impact of two-dimensional idols competing with real players, which also caused the program team to be constantly questioned.

However, the program team felt lucky that "Tomorrow's Son" gave birth to a popular contestant.

He is not handsome, but he can write songs. The lyrics hit people's hearts directly, and he looks round and puffy. Wearing glasses, he is cute and cute.

Mao Buyi is a contestant on Li He Shengshi Duxiu track. Since the song "Sorrow" that went out of the circle, it has become popular all over the country.

To what extent is it popular, when this song comes out, even with such an excellent son as Li He, Li Xuexin actually said that Mao Buyi is better than Li He.

Although Li Xuexin changed his words later, it also proved that this contestant had conquered Li Xuexin, even if he didn't watch the show, he knew the song.
