Chapter 149 Unwilling to be Queen
As the head of Weige's content department, even though it was the National Day holiday, Li Cang couldn't completely abandon his work.

After waking up early in the morning and washing up, he habitually turned on the computer as usual, logged onto Weige, and entered the backstage of the staff.

During the long vacation, most people were able to relax, but the number of singers releasing albums increased instead of decreasing. As soon as he opened the backstage, seven album release messages popped up.

Check it out one by one, some have opened pre-sales, and some have officially released albums. Among them, there are two singers worthy of attention.

One is Cheng Yi, a quasi-platinum-level singer. His last album "A Dream of Huang Liang" sold a total of 48 on Weige, and it is conservatively estimated that it has sold 30 million on the four major channels.But because the sales time is too long, it only broke through one million in the past eleven months, far exceeding the industry's default three-month period, and can only be regarded as a quasi-platinum.

One is Ding Ning, a folk song rookie whose previous pre-sale results were quite unexpected. The pre-sale volume of nearly [-] in a week is definitely not easy for a newcomer, let alone a folk song singer.

Both Cheng Yi and Ding Ning officially released their new albums. A singer of Cheng Yi's stamina must give a promotion.

Li Cang switched to the homepage to look at it, and finally removed Sun Xi's new album promotion, which had been dominating the big picture on the homepage for a month, and replaced it with Cheng Yi's.

As for Ding Ning, Li Cang is not sure whether he should give publicity or not.

After all, Weige is only a few palms away, and there is not room for many publicity positions. Now it is occupied by some platinum-level bigwigs. It is really difficult to make room for a new folk singer like Ding Ning.

However, I personally like Ding Ning's "Lake Baikal", and the pre-sale results of "Seed" are good, so Li Cang decided to listen to Ding Ning's level of the whole album first.

Opening the "Seed" album, there are 15 songs in total, Li Cang is also very emotional.

Most of the current singers can no longer sink their minds into making music. As they do it, they turn music into a sideline business. Various commercial activities are endless. The number of songs in an album is getting less and less. Became the previous EP volume.

15 songs, for most well-known singers, is enough for one and a half albums, but the price remains the same, which is also 25 yuan for the public, which is kind.

Of course, Ding Ning is a newcomer, so it's okay to be unkind.

After glancing at the title of the song, Li Cang picked out the song with the longest name, "Basking in the Sun with Grandma in Winter", which is really a folk song.

"Ouch, interesting."

As soon as the brisk prelude came out, Li Cang couldn't help laughing.

This prelude is really interesting. It actually used the sound of rural people sifting rice, which brought his thoughts back to his long-ago childhood.

The sun is warm and gentle, and the grandma in black and gray cotton clothes is slightly bent, squinting, holding a rice sieve, standing in front of the door, tossing the rice sieve up and down to sieve rice.

Every time she tosses the rice sieve, the wrinkles on her face tremble slightly, and the light rice bran also floats up, mixing into the sunlight, like gold flakes.

He could even faintly smell the pleasant smell that overflowed after the rice bran was shaken. It was a slightly rough and reassuring smell.

Now, most people can't smell it anymore.

What's more interesting is that the rhythm of this prelude is still the ballroom dance tune that was popular a few years ago.

Bouncing, bouncing, bouncing, it made his feet start to shake.

"Not bad."

After the prelude, as soon as Ding Ning sang lazily, Li Cang lay down on the chair and stretched himself.

From Ding Ning's singing, he could feel a comfortable and lazy feeling that fit the title of the song.

Moreover, this word has a very simple and straightforward sense of picture.

"Basking in the sun with my grandma in winter, a sparrow sneaked into my room."

"The neighbor's dog is barking, I'm lazy, I'm warm."

Very interesting words, the lazy and warm breath really hits the face, refreshing, and I have a good mood in the morning.

After listening to the whole song with shaking legs, Li Cang gave a thumbs up without saying a word.

Score Well, 10 points, nothing to say.

Not to mention that this song is very suitable for his taste, this is the first time he has heard such a thoughtful ballad in the music industry for so many years.

Is this guy really 20 years old?
Li Cang glanced at Ding Ning's information, and then looked at the lyrics and music of this song, and he felt that it was incredible.

Sure enough, there are talented people from all over the world, and the Chinese music scene can be as colorful as it is now. It's really thanks to the fact that there are always so many young people who are unconstrained and unconstrained.

As for the old guys, it is a blessing to be able to live on their laurels and maintain the level of their youth. The fear is that they will retreat a thousand miles, and they will not even know when they will drown in the vast ocean of the music scene.

Immediately afterwards, Li Cang played "I Eat Fried Chicken in People's Square".

Speaking of this song, he has heard it a long time ago, but every time it was amlied by others, he didn't have time, and when he had time, he had already forgotten it completely, so today is a chance.

The melody was not as amazing as "Sunshine with Grandma in Winter", and some of the lyrics of the main song were quite satisfactory, but when he heard the climax, he understood why everyone said this song was fun.

Among the rules and regulations, such a rather unexpected word suddenly appeared, which is indeed a bit of a stroke of genius.

But it wasn't that brilliant, at least a little worse than he expected.

For the sake of still having some ideas, a like is a must, with a score of 8.8, which is auspicious and pleasing to the eye.

Immediately, Li Cang continued to listen to a few more songs.

They are all works above the standard, and each capital has something worthy of praise, which is remarkable.

For example, "Old Years", which is full of love, "Walking", which contains the philosophy of life, and "Life Like Summer Flowers", which has an excellent arrangement, are all excellent works with a score of 9 or above in his mind.

Coupled with the previously popular "Those Flowers", and the recent increase in the number of plays, "Baikal Lakeside", which has hit No. 16 on the free new song weekly list, Li Cang's overall evaluation of this album is 8.99999 points ,can not be less anymore.

Of course, this is just based on his personal taste. Today’s young people don’t like to listen to folk songs very much. Taking market conditions, especially the overall preferences of Weige listeners, to evaluate this album, he can only give it a 7.5 points, not no more.

A score of 7.5 is a bit low. Li Cang was very hesitant to give Ding Ning a place in this album.

However, Li Cang is very experienced in the face of this dilemma.

If you can't make up your own mind, look at what your competitors do first.

Think of it and do it, Li Cang first looked at Suile, good guy, the big picture on the homepage was the first one, and he pulled a short man in front of several generals.

It's understandable, after all, nearly half of the sales of "Seed" are on Suile, so they probably look forward to Ding Ning.

Then there is Yiwangyun Music, the first one in the new special topic is Ding Ning, which is also a very important position.

Then I heard it, no surprises, this editor seems to have a fresher taste, and also ranked "Seed" first in the very conspicuous list of tweets.

The three competitors are so supportive of Ding Ning, and it is well-known. Of course, Li Cang is not willing to let others down, so he directly calls the designer of the logistics department: "Xiao Lu, please send the album cover of Cheng Yi and Ding Ning that was just released today. , make me a puzzle.”

"Yes, split with a slash, and pass it to me when it's done."

"There is no other request... Yes, yes, Ding Ning's album cover is on it."

"Yes, Ding Ning's is on top."
