Chapter 488 The new song hits the bulletin board
The car does not stop, the horse does not stop. ≤≤,
After the video of the ultimate battle in Mexico City was over, that night, most of the staff and 10 groups of stars of the program took a night flight back to China, preparing to attend the large-scale program launch conference held by Star TV on the afternoon of the 12th.
Two weeks ago, when 10 groups of stars flew to South America, they were in a high mood, but two weeks later, when they flew back to China, they were already exhausted.
The two-week trip to Latin America is a challenge for celebrities. Some stars perform amazingly, but some stars perform slightly disappointing.
The most disappointing thing among these is the cross-border friend group that was highly expected by the program team.
Other groups have been through this journey, and the relationship between members has become more reliable and intimate, but the relationship between Ren Qiang and Guo Xiaoxia has become increasingly broken. By the end of the trip, the two stopped talking, which has caused a headache for the program team.
If this continues, the pair of Ren Qiang and Guo Xiaoxia, which are quite interesting, is likely to be eliminated in the next stage of recording.
Lin Zaishan gained a lot during this journey. He not only had a personal experience of Latin American music in this plane, but also had a deeper understanding of his body during the fierce competition.
He was indeed an extraordinary person, and his physical fitness was even more exaggerated than he had imagined before.
With his physical fitness, let alone participating in variety shows, even if he participates in the Olympics, he may win gold in certain events.
However, he is not very interested in things like winning money, and he still prefers to make achievements in the music field.
Li Xiaoni is very satisfied with this journey. Compared to her previous work, this journey is not easy at all, but it is even more tiring. However, being able to work with the person she loves can still have a secret relationship at night. This feeling of intimacy, even if she is tired, Li Xiaoni feels that it is happy and worth it.
Unfortunately, the journey of the two weeks was too short and it passed in the blink of an eye.
Later, she and Lin Zaishan were going to be separated for another week. They would not be together again until April 19.
She is not the clingy personality, but she has been separated from Lin Zaishan for too long and has been alone for too long. Now she finally has the opportunity to get together with Lin Zaishan. She really wants to stay with Lin Zaishan for a longer period of time.
But the compact work schedule made her unable to stay with Lin Zaishan for too long, even if she had no chance to stay for one more day.
Their flight will arrive in the East China Sea on the evening of April 11, domestic time. After a night of rest, Li Xiaoni will go to work in the next morning and participate in the new program promotion meeting of Starfish Station in the afternoon. In the evening, she will be a flying man in the air and fly directly to Los Angeles to the United States to do a week-long new single release and promotion event.
On the evening of April 19, she would go north from the United States to Toronto and meet with the program team of "Extreme Breakthrough World" to continue the second phase of "Extreme Breakthrough World". Until then, she would meet Lin Zaishan again.
The first single that Li Xiaoni will release in the United States this time is "i-i-ere-a-boy", which of course is written by Lin Zaishan.
However, it continues the lyrics and songs of "roar" and "blee-love" that make Western music come true. This song "i-i-ere-a-boy" by the National Entertainment Group claims that it is a work written by Li Xiaoni.
On Valentine's Day, Li Xiaoni's first European and American album released on the British Peninsula did not cause any sensation or response in the UK, and all kinds of lists were not included. "Roar" and "blee-love" failed to break through the overall level of the album and stood out, which seemed relatively dull.
But gold will definitely shine.
Although Li Xiaoni's British album has encountered a cold wave in the UK, it has caused a small craze in China, especially the two songs "roar" and "blee-love", which are highly popular in China.
As time goes by, these two songs have gained a good reputation in the entire overseas Chinese world.
There are relatively few Chinese in the UK, and there are not too many Chinese in Europe, but there are quite a lot of Chinese in the US, and the influence of Chinese in the US is much higher than that in the UK.
Many Chinese in the United States are fans of Li Xiaoni. Although Li Xiaoni has never released an album in the United States, she goes to the United States for tours every year and also participates in the Chinese Spring Festival Gala in the United States.
She is currently the most popular Chinese singer among the Chinese Americans.
Her identity she has been portrayed by Guoyu is also a Chinese American.
Guoyu has always wanted to promote Li Xiaoni in the United States and build Li Xiaoni into a more money-making international superstar.
But the American music giants treated Li Xiaoni more arrogantly than the British. They really couldn't see the highlights of Li Xiaoni's ability to integrate into the mainstream music market in North America from the older Asian female singer.
In this plane, the record industry is the most developed in the United States. Like the film industry, the record industry in this plane has also been ahead of the world for many years.
Previously, Li Xiaoni's music, including singing skills, was not worth mentioning in the eyes of American producers.
The cooperation negotiations between China Entertainment and major American music companies were particularly unsuccessful. Therefore, they settled for the second best, spending a lot of money to promote Li Xiaoni from the British Peninsula, and then let Li Xiaoni enter the world's largest North American record market.
This time, Li Xiaoni's first shot in the British Peninsula was not very successful, but the songs "roar" and "blee-love" were sang and sang and performed, which surprised European and American musicians.
In the record market, if you come up with excellent works, it is very convincing.
This time, Guoyu did not go to the American record company to discuss cooperation, but it was because they came to Guoyu.
The super record industry giant Universal Records, which ranked among the top three among American record companies, has been talking about Li Xiaoni's "roar" and "blee-love".
A month ago, Universal Records bought out the distribution rights of the two songs in the United States, and they took the initiative to help Li Xiaoni release singles of these two songs.
It is different from the way of releasing albums in other parts of the world. In the North American record market, record companies first post singles to singers, posting one single and one single, and then posting all singles, and then synthesize them into albums and posting them out. The reason for this is that it is influenced by the Internet.
The American record industry has also been severely damaged by online pirated music, but they have very strict protection of intellectual property rights and strictly killed pirated music. However, the emergence of online music has still had an irreversible impact on the traditional American record market.
In this plane, in the past 10 years, the traditional American recording industry has basically been destroyed by Internet music. Internet digital music has now dominated the American music market.
But it’s not free to download music to listen to. Any songs you like, music fans will buy them by singles or digital music albums.
It is precisely because of the fundamental change in purchasing methods that record companies and singers have completely changed the way they release albums.
Nowadays, North American record companies send new songs to singers, and they all post them according to singles.
They have to sell a round of singles first, and then synthesize the singles into digital albums, and then sell a round of digital albums.
Universal Records' favorite this time was "roar" and "blee-love" from Lee Hyo-ni's British album. They didn't buy any other songs, so they bought the distribution rights of these two songs.
Although these two songs are very international, because there has never been Asian singers in the North American music market, Universal is still cautious in investing in Li Xiaoni this time.
They bought these two songs mainly targeted the Chinese market in North America, hoping to sell a good result among Chinese people first, and then gradually push these two songs into the sight of mainstream North American music fans.
Although there are many Chinese in the United States, Chinese account for only 2% of the total population of the United States, which is far from mainstream.
Li Xiaoni enjoys a high popularity and audience among the Chinese-American community and even the entire Asian community, but the goal of Global and Guoyu is to promote Li Xiaoni to the mainstream music market in North America. Only by pushing it to the mainstream can they really make a lot of money.
Three weeks ago, Universal Records released the digital music version of "roar" and "blee-love" for Li Xiaoni, and made a series of promotions. Li Xiaoni also traveled to the United States and participated in two events in the Chinese area to promote these two new songs.
Chinese in the United States are very proud of Li Tianhou. There are many people who buy these two new songs in the digital music market, which made these two songs reach the hot100 weekly chart of the US Billboard Music Chart in the first week of its release.
Like another plane, this plane is the most influential and market-guided music rankings in the United States.
There are many types of lists in Billboard, the most important of which are the Billboard Singles Chart (Bulle Roll-hot-100) (single Roll-ranked) and Bulle Roll-200 (album ranking).
In the past decade, with the popularity of digital music in North America and the changing way singers release new songs, the Billboard Singles Chart has become the most important selection on all the charts.
Hot-100 is ranked based on the actual sales of the singles per week and the on-demand rate of 40 North American mainstream radio stations. The on-demand rate of the radio station is now very small, so the sales of the singles here account for the most important consideration.
This list is basically the ranking of single sales in the North American market, which is also the ultimate criterion for measuring the commercial value of a song.
The record market in the United States is very large. After the arrival of digital music, the music market that was reborn has made the overall income of North American singers higher than that of other professional artists in the entertainment industry.
In the United States, singers are the most valuable profession among all cultural and sports stars, which is in a huge contrast with the country.
In this plane, singers are almost unable to eat, and they change careers and do other things.
There are very few pure singers in the Chinese music scene nowadays.
But in countries with good intellectual property protection in the West, singers are the most popular professions, but also the most competitive professions.
Lin Zaishan believes that after China in this plane protects intellectual property rights, singers will also gain higher social recognition.
After all, there are more people in the world who listen to music than watching movies and sports. As long as everyone recognizes the intellectual property rights of music and forms the habit of paying to listen to music like North American music fans, the singer's life and creative environment will definitely be improved immediately. The vitality of Chinese music will definitely recover slowly. When the lives of singers are guaranteed, they will naturally output a steady stream of creativity to make the industry more vigorous.
Today, the American record industry is leading the world faster and faster in such a virtuous cycle.
The huge music market has created a huge group of singers.
In this fiercely competitive environment, it is easy to imagine how difficult it is for an oriental singer to win the recognition of the mainstream American music market.
But unlike British music fans, American music fans are still willing to accept and recognize good music, which can be seen from the achievements of the two new songs sent by Universal Li Xiaoni.
Li Xiaoni's British album was sold in the British Peninsula for more than two months, but she didn't make any list. But after her two new songs arrived in North America, she made it to the weekly list of 100 for three consecutive weeks.
Among them, "roar" ranked 97, 75 and 79th in the hot100 weekly list with sales of 106,000, 251,000 and 248,000 in a single week.
"blee-love" ranked 92, 81 and 87th in the hot100 weekly list with sales of 125,000, 20,000 and 185,000 per week.
This ranking is a very impressive result for a Chinese singer who is just taking the North American market for the first time.
If Li Xiaoni was a signed singer from a major American record company and had a big record company backing and promoting her, with her strength in these two songs, her grades would definitely be better.
But she is a singer from a Chinese music company after all, and China Entertainment is just talking about cooperation with Global. Global cannot promote Li Xiaoni like their own singers, which has greatly affected Li Xiaoni's new song performance.
When Universal released a single to Li Xiaoni, she chose a few days later, and her single sales were counted for only 3 days in the first week.
The weekly list of hot-100 can be reached in 3 days, which has attracted the attention of the world.
At that time, they had already made a song with Li Xiaoni, hoping that Li Xiaoni would release another single immediately and strike while the iron is hot and continue to attack the billboard.
Guoyu attaches great importance to this opportunity to cooperate with Universal Records. They gave Li Xiaoni the focus of her recent work towards the United States. In addition to participating in the long-determined video of "Extreme Breakthrough in the World", her main publicity work during this period was concentrated in the United States.
Li Xiaoni herself also attaches great importance to this opportunity to try out her skills in the United States. Selling records in the United States will make 10 or even a hundred times more money than in China.
If she can achieve results in the North American market, she will be able to become a world-class singer.
In the history of the Chinese music scene, no singer can be called a world-class singer and is recognized by the whole world.
Li Xiaoni wants to be the first person like this.
If you want to become a world-class singer, Lin Zaishan's help is definitely behind her.
Chapter completed!
