One person's entertainment

Chapter 42, 1997, I will lead the charge!
July 12, Sunday.

After Yanjing Music Radio Station first released the song "Goodbye Youth", other music radio stations followed suit.

Ever since the song "Heart Too Soft" became a hit, Shen Lingyou has had radio stations help promote his new song without paying any money because it can get very high listening rates.

With continuous exposure and the song's own strong abilities, it quickly spread across the country.

Coupled with the support from a large number of fans that she had gained before, her momentum to top the charts was fierce, like a mighty tide.

Today is the second day after the song was released, and "Goodbye Youth" can already be seen on the first page of major charts.

On the third day, we broke into the top ten.

On the fifth day, we made it into the top three.

On December 12, a full week after the song was released, "Goodbye Youth" had already reached the second place, second only to "Heart Too Soft".

By winning the first and second place, Shen Lingyou's name once again became famous in the Chinese music scene and his fame soared.

Look at his song below, it is "Don't Let My Tears Accompany Me Overnight" released by Qi Zhen on the 4th.

This song was also extremely popular in its original time and space, and could be considered one of the songs of the year in 1996.

However, now, he encountered a Cheng Yaojin who appeared out of nowhere.

It’s okay if it can’t beat “Too Soft-Hearted”, the runner-up position is acceptable too, just give the newcomers a chance.

However, less than a month later, another song came out and it could no longer even maintain the runner-up position.

I was so angry, but there was nothing I could do.

You have to know that in 1996, a war without the smoke of gunpowder had already begun in the Chinese music scene since Tu Honggang released "Farewell My Concubine" on January 1, and the music charts were fiercely contested every month.

The Four Heavenly Kings' songs "Slowly", "I Can't Forget You" and "Love Letter" by Zhang Xueyan, "Listening to the Wind's Song" by Guo Fucheng, "Deep Love but No Words" by Lai Ming and "I Hate My Foolishness" by Andy Lau have occupied the top ten of the list for a long time.

Countless newcomers, including Luo Zhongxu, Zhang Huimei, Luo Qi, Liang Yongqi, Chen Yixun, Yang Qianhua... have started their own music careers.

Among them, Zheng Zhongji's "Your Eyes Betray Your Heart" was extremely popular and was once called "the successor to the God of Songs."

The name "Prince Ji" is not an exaggeration. He has lived a very wealthy life since he was a child. His father is the president of PolyGram Asia Pacific, a well-known entertainment tycoon. His shadow can be seen behind people like Deng Lijun, Tan Yonglin, Zhang Guorong, and Zhang Yuanyu.

He is also one of the strong contenders for the best new singer in the Chinese music scene this year, with both strength and background.

Valen Hsu's "If the Clouds Knew" sold over 220 million copies in Asia, making her the best-selling female singer of the year.

Another song in this album, "Monodrama", is also a high-quality song that is widely circulated.

From then on, the Chinese music scene had a new name called "Xu Ruyun" and a unique memory called "Yun style singing".

MUJI's "Palm" became a hit as soon as it was released. It not only set a record of 10 consecutive weeks at the top in Malaysia, but also set a double platinum sales record in Formosa Province in just 12 weeks.

Guang Liang and Pin Guan, the collision of two youthful voices is fragile and brave, and you will never get tired of listening to it.

It can be said that debut is the peak.

There are also "Prison Bird", "Years of Friendship", "The End of the Song", "Worth It", "Do You Love Me or Not", "Tacit Understanding" and so on.

Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to describe this year's Chinese music scene as "a hundred flowers blooming and a hundred gods fighting each other."

Until November...

Shen Lingyou reached the top with "Heart Too Soft", and he was competing against the king and queen of pop.

Then "Goodbye Youth" was released, and it won the first and second place.

However, this is not the end. On December 12th, under the high popularity, "Class 29, Grade " was launched.

With only a few days left before the year 1997, another heavy blow arrived.

Remember my appearance
Don't be too nervous

I am in Class 2, Grade 3
My profile looks pretty good when I’m concentrating on playing basketball…”

Shocked face!
He can actually rap!
Three songs since debut, three different music styles!

Shen Lingyou’s fans cheered and rejoiced that their favorite singer continued to display his talent!
Passersby said that this young man was subverting their cognition!
"Class 2, Grade 3" is a rap song with a slightly weird flavor. The lyrics, style, melody and arrangement are all unique and full of charm.

This song is amazing with its unique creativity and the use of the sound of ping-pong balls throughout the entire song. The lyrics are written from a student's perspective, reflecting the questions and thoughts that many people have when they are young.

The whole song, like "Goodbye Youth", gives people an indescribable feeling and evokes many memories.

"Sounds good!"

"It cost me hundreds of dollars just to call and order songs!"

“I’m looking forward to the remaining songs on this album!”

"If these two songs are like this, then the next ten songs will definitely take off!"

"The more I listen to it, the better it sounds. I've got the money ready and can't wait!"

"I hope there will be more stock so I don't have to go to several video stores to buy it."

……

The audience became restless, as if their hearts were itching as if there were countless ants scratching them.

Some people, seeing that they cannot buy the album, buy newspapers, magazines and posters with related news to satisfy their craving.

In short, it's uncomfortable and every day feels like a year.

At this time, some people who were already famous or would become famous in the circle came out to comment on Shen Lingyou's voice and songs.

Zhang Yadong: I have a natural good voice, very distinctive, and I have the same stunning feeling that Wang Jingfei brought to people when she debuted.

Wang Shuo: This boy sings very beautifully.

Na Ying: He is only 19 years old and does not have much experience. Whether he is writing songs or singing, he lacks artistic value. It is like a mountain to the ground to change one’s career. If possible, he should transfer to another school as soon as possible. This is my advice to him.

Gao Xiaosong: Not all songs written by students can be called “campus folk songs”. They are two different things.

Wu Zongxian: I have listened to his songs, they are very tasteful.

Chen Jiantian: Time will give the answer. This is an album that can be written into the history of Chinese music!
This is just right, with mixed reviews and many topics.

How to attract attention quickly without controversy?
How to increase sales without attention?
How can you make money without sales?

In an era when the Internet was scarce, this level of publicity and promotion was already the limit of the limit.

And with the help of countless people, the three songs occupied the 1st, 2nd and 3rd places on major music charts.

If the remaining eight songs on the album were released, would it make history and make the top ten?
That picture is too beautiful to imagine.

At this moment, even if you do not recognize Shen Lingyou's strong strength, you cannot deny the incredible popularity of his new album.

Praising and scolding, the sun sets and rises again.

Finally, the time came to January 1997, 1.
