Chapter 304 Impossible

The summer vacation from July to September is the golden period of the recording industry, and many singers will choose to release new albums in the summer vacation.

With the gathering of big names, the record industry in summer is naturally full of wind and clouds. At this time, the competition on the charts of the four major platforms is extremely fierce. If several singers with the same strength meet at the same time, a bloody fight will be inevitable.

From the beginning of this year's summer vacation, Wei Xiahai and Dou Wenlong, who both have the names of Little Heavenly Kings, started dating each other. The two's new album hit the No. [-] spot on the Chinese song list, and their fans were also arguing. .

As for the top spot, "You Are Poison" by the God of Songs is dominating it. They really want to do it, but the God of Songs won't let it.

However, the battle for the second place between the two is also a variety of unsatisfactory.

What's even more troubling is that just as their competition was heating up, Jiang Zhiran's new album "She" was released.

The lead single of the same name topped the daily chart in one day, and topped the weekly chart in two days. Ruhong's aura pushed down the heyday "Hello Poison", and Wei Xiahai and Dou Wenlong couldn't even catch up.

Seeing Jiang Zhiran's "She" pass away with a horror index exceeding their single digits, and "You Are Poison" is still strong, the two of them who competed fiercely, knowing that there is no hope for the second place, they can only make the target It was placed in the position of exploring flowers again.

But just after you chased me for three days, Jiang Zhiran's second hit song "Speechless" was released again, and after two days of its release, it quickly secured the second place on the daily and weekly charts of the Hua Ge chart, completely surpassing "You Are Poison" , The outstanding performance lives up to the name of the king of heaven.

At this time, both Wei Xiahai and Dou Wenlong were unable to fight anymore.

It's not that the big difference between Little Heavenly King and Heavenly King makes them discouraged, but that the records of the two have been pre-sold for more than half a month, and the decline has already begun. In addition, many fierce people will release records recently and in the future. Fighting for No.4 also requires a lot of investment. The owner chooses to accept it as soon as it is good. Even if they want to fight, they are powerless.

Undoubtedly, the first winner of this year's summer vacation is none other than Jiang Zhiran.

The two title songs occupied the first and second place in the daily chart and weekly chart respectively. "Jiang Lang" not only has not exhausted his talents, but has made great strides forward. Many people lamented that among the four heavenly kings, they are still on the uphill road. Yes, I'm afraid it's only him.

For a while, many media praised him in various ways, even if there was a small episode during which he praised and satirized Ding Ning's remarks.

It's just hand slipping, who doesn't have a hand slipping, don't care about these details.

However, as soon as the hand-slipping incident came out, many of these reports would involve Ding Ning.

Not only Ding Ning, but the other three of the Four Heavenly Kings were also involved.

There is a topic of comparison, and many media have reported that compared with Sun Xi and Shao Honggang, whose albums have been on the decline for the past two years, and Zheng Wei, who seems to have entered a creative bottleneck period and has not released an album for two years, Jiang Zhiran It may be the one who laughs last among the four heavenly kings.

As for Ding Ning, no matter how popular he was some time ago, he was still far behind Jiang Zhiran.

Compared with Jiang Zhiran, Ding Ning is a bit young after all. The two albums that have been released, "Seed" can be said to be famous in one fell swoop, but the following "Single Collection Vol1" is not satisfactory, and the sales volume is worse than "Seed". He still has a long way to go to reach the point where Jiang Zhiran can easily sell for four or five platinum in pre-sales now.

Even if he has written many hot hits for other singers, a lack of background is a lack of background.

Maybe this background is the gap of a lifetime, no matter how many popular songs he writes, if his album sells as much as Jiang Zhiran's, then no matter how prosperous he is personally, it will only be false.

These days, there are too many illustrious celebrities, and if you just pick up a little Korean fresh meat, the popularity seems to be able to smash the four heavenly kings into scum.

But in fact, their shelf life is far inferior to that of the Four Heavenly Kings. The Four Heavenly Kings have been popular for more than ten years. This kind of fresh meat has been metabolized for several generations, and their popularity is only temporary.

Ding Ning didn't have time to pay attention to the reports of the media who praised Jiang Zhiran's bright future and worried that he would follow in the footsteps of those Hallyu youngsters.As for the media, one mouthful of "Little Sweets" in front of people can turn around and call people "Mrs. Niu". That's it, he doesn't mind.

In comparison, he cared more about Gu Xi's grades in his new college.

"Word of mouth is good, I guess "Red Bean" and "The Postman" can both be on the list." Yang Du is also concerned about Gu Xi's new album results.

To be honest, he really didn't like Gu Xi at first, but after Ding Ning wrote the songs in the album one after another, and listened to Gu Xi's performance in the studio, he changed his mind.

There is a word called "Turn decay into magic", which is actually not very appropriate, after all, Gu Xi is not decadent, but he feels that Ding Ning's lyrics really revitalized Gu Xi, who should have been a minority.

In his opinion, almost every song written by Ding Ning in this "Human World" album is tailor-made for Gu Xi's unique voice.

Desolate, unfamiliar, clearly close at hand but far away as far away, clearly thinking about it but pretending to be calm and breezy, seeming to bloom but wrapping itself like a flower bud, the words are like this, the song is like this, the person The same is true, all revealing an indescribable hypocrisy.

But this pretentiousness is very pure, it dilutes the sense of whitewashing, and does not make people sick, so that he can repeat every song in this album for a long time without getting tired of it.

For this reason, he is very optimistic about this album. He feels that even if the sales of this album are not good at the beginning, it will rise sooner or later.

"Then Uncle Yang, you are willing to bet and lose, right?" Hearing what Yang Du said, Ding Ning smiled happily.

Before the official release of the album, he had a bet with Yang Du on whether Gu Xi's three title songs would be in the top ten of the Hua Ge chart and the IMusic chart.

The current situation is that although the entire album has not sold much, the word of mouth is very popular, and "The Postman" is on Imusic, and "Red Bean" is gradually rising on the Imusic and Huage charts, and the momentum is very strong. , there is no sign of weakness for the time being, and most of them can be on the list.

Yang Du was not optimistic about Gu Xi before, but now he is putting an afterthought, isn't he admitting defeat.

Hearing this, Yang Du grinned and said, "I haven't made a choice yet, how could I lose? You are betting against yourself."

After hearing Yang Du's words, Ding Ning thought about it and found that it was true.

Because Yang Du was not optimistic about Gu Xi at first, after he made the album, he thought it was very good, so he wanted to bet with Yang Du, but Yang Du just smiled at that time, then changed the subject, and didn't take it.

Speaking of it, it was he himself who cared more about it, so he always remembered it.

This did not reveal his thoughts, Ding Ning smiled shyly: "Then let's make another bet."

"What bet?" Yang Du asked.

"Bet whether Jiang Zhiran's current ranking on the list will be blown down by my song." Ding Ning smiled slyly.

It is true that the rising momentum of the three title songs of Gu Xi's new album is good, but it is absolutely impossible to surpass Jiang Zhiran, who has clearly locked in at least one of the top ten spots on the Huage chart of the year, no matter how hard he works in the future. No, Yang Du said: "It's not that I don't like Gu Xi, but if people want to be realistic, I bet it's impossible!"
