Chapter 134
Although the master tape is completed, taking into account various factors, Ding Ning will still set October 10nd as the date when the digital version will be officially released.

On the other hand, the delivery time of the album version can be two days in advance. The distribution company guarantees that the first batch of 10 albums will be sent out one after another before October 7th. It will also be shipped according to the order.

Affected by the scolding war, the album version of "Seed" sold well. As of 10:1 on October 0, a total of 9.3 copies were sold, far exceeding expectations.

Even if this result does not increase, last year's overall physical record market, it can still account for 5%, ranking 14th, and it is estimated that this year will be similar.

Of course, because the overall technology of this world is slightly ahead, various digital devices are widely used, and the cost of physical records is relatively high, many singers have given up the physical record market, either not releasing physical albums at all, or just two or three A collection of hot songs from an album is produced together, and the sales of physical records are no longer so high in gold content.

The reason why Ding Ning is willing to release physical records is because those who are willing to record now are basically die-hard fans who buy them for collection. In his opinion, the hearts of die-hard fans must be taken care of.

On the other hand, as a singer, it is unreasonable for him, who has traveled from a world that is not so developed, to produce physical records.

What's more, releasing a physical record has been a knot in his heart for many years. Regardless of whether there will be a physical version of the next album, at least this one, he must realize his dream.

The digital version is the big market where Dalang Taosha really tests whether it is gold or sand.

Needless to say, in the scary big market of the digital version, as of the early morning of November, his mere 34 pre-sales, even a small wave can't lift a single one, and Zheng Wei's last album was as high as 774 million pre-sales Compared with the sales volume, it is the volume of a placenta.

Ding Ning never imagined that he would reach the sky in one step, and he is quite happy to have such an achievement.

On the eleventh day, it was the recording day of the first PK match of the Young Singer Contest, and Ding Ning couldn't rest.

The first phase of the PK competition is an internal PK among the members of the recommendation group. The winners will choose their own mentors and continue to the next round of group confrontation.

There are 16 members in the recommendation group, and only 8 can enter the main match. The opponents are selected by lottery.

Mao Yuanyuan gave the list of team members on September 9th. Ding Ning didn’t know any of them. Ma Chu and Yang Du studied the list and found that among the 27 people, 16 were twice-cooked pork, and there were only three of them, he, a man and a woman. Is a pure rookie, the competition is obviously fierce.

Ma Chu originally wanted to follow, but the recording location was at the Shen City Drama Academy, which is the gymnasium of Ye Di School. It was not far from where Ding Ning lived, so it was very convenient. Plus, there was a competition to select new singers, and he brought an agent. The person is not suitable, Ding Ning told Ma Chuai to go crazy wherever he wants to enjoy the holiday.

Yang Du and Zhang Xuan went with Ding Ning, but when they arrived at the gymnasium, they parted ways with Ding Ning and disappeared into the crowd.

Ding Ning contacted Mao Yuanyuan, and he led him backstage to make up.

After putting on makeup, Ding Ning came to the left side of the stage and glanced at the auditorium.

The gymnasium is quite big. After it is fully closed, only the overhead lights are illuminated, which is no different from that at night. It is more than half an hour before leaving the stadium, and the seats are almost full. Most of them are young and noisy.

This is a match that will be shown on TV, and with so many spectators, Ding Ning couldn't help being a little nervous.

Before the official start of the recording, Mao Yuanyuan called all the contestants of the recommendation group together and introduced themselves to each other, which is regarded as acquaintance.

Because everyone has got the list of players before the game, they will basically find out who they are. Ding Ning found that many of the players have a feeling of "staring at him", fearing that they regard him as a strong enemy.

No way, who made him so popular recently.

Fortunately, he only needs to fight one-on-one with one opponent, there is no need to go round by round, and the pressure is not too great.

The official recording starts at 10 o'clock, and the first process is the appearance of all members of the recommendation group.

Almost everyone brought a group of relatives and friends, and whoever the host introduced, there would be bursts of screams.

Because no one was notified beforehand, Ding Ning was relatively cold during the cutscene, but there were supporters from the show crew at the scene, and there were still some cheering for him, and even three girls in the front row held up a light board with his name on it.

Ding Ning was very surprised because he didn't see a few light boards at the scene, and he didn't know whether the light boards were arranged by the program group or brought by themselves.

Immediately after that was the draw of lots for the players, and everyone would get a number. Ding Ning drew "8", a very auspicious number.

Then the four instructors draw lots, they draw two lots at a time, and the two people who are drawn will be assigned to the same group for PK.

In the first group, No. 8 and No. 3 were drawn. Turning around, he saw that the opponent was Li Dalu. Ding Ning was startled.

Li Dalu is the one he doesn't want to meet among the 15 potential opponents, because this guy has a lot of experience. He released an album four years ago. His fame at that time was similar to that of Zhang Xuan now. Later, he changed for some reason. Working behind the scenes, he created many popular songs. In Yang Du's eyes, he has the highest overall strength among the 15 people.

A person like Li Dalu who has rich experience both in front of and behind the scenes is basically a seed-level player. Ding Ning could only sigh inwardly that he was unlucky to meet such a strong opponent in the first round.

Unexpectedly, the opponent was Ding Ning, and Li Dalu was as surprised as Ding Ning.

He had checked Ding Ning's information carefully, and learned that Ding Ning once ranked first in Suile's free new song weekly chart with "Those Flowers", and had a fight with Sun Xi's fans for this reason.

Moreover, "Not Afraid Not Afraid" written by him can be heard in the streets and alleys now. In some respects, the two of them are somewhat similar, both singer-songwriters.

Although Ding Ning is indeed a newcomer, in Li Dalu's view, this newcomer is a bit daunting.

Li Dalu felt that Ding Ning was underestimating him.

From his point of view, Ding Ning is a player who is very likely to reach the finals. He. He met him in the first round, and he had to fight to the death. Isn't that nonsense? Can luck be any worse? He is under a lot of pressure .

It's a pity that the result has been determined, and he can only do his best.

After all 16 contestants were divided into groups, the host began to introduce the four mentors.

The mentors of this year's Young Singer Competition are still three men and one woman.

The only woman is Xia Ziyan, a popular female singer. Participated in the first Young Singer Contest in 11, entered the "Strongest New Voice" with the No.1 score, and won the first place in "The Strongest New Voice". It is the fourth "Best New Voice" that has been held The most famous contestant among the contestants, now he has changed from a contestant to a judge, which means returning to his hometown after becoming famous.

Among the three male tutors, one is Peng Jianxing, who prefers traditional singing styles, but his preferences are not limited to traditional styles. He also comes to hip-hop and rap. He is the only one among the four tutors who participated in the last youth singer competition.

Strictly speaking, he is also the only one who can be called a "master" among the four mentors, and he feels a bit like an old urchin.

One is Wu Hongming, who was on the top of the list in 2010 but is now a little out of date. He has a more comprehensive style of music and a bit cynical style of dressing. Like Peng Jianxing, he is a kind person who will not make people feel distant.

The last one is Qiao Kun, who sings pop rock, a rock singer who was submerged in Wen Heyang's era. After Wen Heyang faded out, his spring just came, and now he has faintly become a leading figure in the rock world.

After introducing the instructor, the first group of PK players, that is, Ding Ning and Li Dalu stayed behind, and the other players retreated backstage.

Li Dalu took the smaller number 3 and was the first to sing on stage.

Ding Ning actually wanted to be the first one, because at this time the instructors were not yet aesthetically fatigued, and their judgments would not be so harsh. Throwing a brick might be considered a good performance, and whoever goes first will benefit.

As a very capable singer, Li Dalu would be under a lot of pressure if he turned on four lights as soon as he went up.

Moreover, the song Li Dalu chose was "Vine", which is a bitter love song created by himself. It was sung by Xia Ziyan, and Xia Ziyan is also a mentor. .

It's a pity that there is no tricky shady scene in any competition these years. The reality cannot be changed, and Ding Ning doesn't make any entanglements.

He is a person who is determined to reach the finals. Even if Li Dalu can't get over it, he will go to the finals first?
