How Can I Get Confused with the Top?

It is a very high-level dinner held in the Golden Hall of the Great Hall of the People. A little knowledge, the Great Hall is usually open for lease, and anyone with money can hold a banquet.

The specification is high because of the attendees.

"What is the highest note Xiao Jiu can sing?" Li Weiwen asked during the banquet.

Twelve people at a table, this question is something that the other eleven guests are curious about. To be precise, they will be curious if they have a little knowledge of music theory, but the seats are a little farther apart.

"The highest?" Chu Zhi thought, he had never challenged the limit before, and responded: "I haven't tried it, it seems that songs such as "Opera 2", "Devotion", and "Left Fingering the Moon" were created according to their ability, no borders will be touched.”

"..." Li Weiwen.

"..." He Rongrong.

"..." Lin Shanyue.

"..." Ridgkin.

The eleven people sitting there were silent, like fish on a plate, and had nothing to say.

Li Weiwen knew Chu Zhi quite well, not to mention "Opera 2", it was really not difficult for him.

However, it is not an individual to say six consecutive groups of clear spelling on the left finger. Dedicated to swimming naked back and forth in seven groups is called a creation according to one's ability.

He Rongrong really wanted to say something: Would you like to listen, is what you speak human?

"A miracle in the history of music, Xiaojiu, you need to take good care of your voice." Chen Enfeng heard that Chu Zhi had to drink to go on stage because of her mental state, and said out of concern.

"Young people today are so amazing." Lidgkin is a dancer, but he can also intuitively feel the invincible voice.

In the middle of the banquet, the Russian guests came over to toast, each holding their necks of vodka.

""Dedication" I think only Angel and Mr. Zhizhi can sing. For Mr. Zhizhi's song, let's have a drink." Vasily raised his glass.

"Cheers to Devotion." Ninel raised his glass.

"Cheers!" Lyudmila toasted.

 …

It's a bit like singing is not your opponent, and then you use alcohol to defeat you, but Chu Zhi can drink too much, even if you fight against Mao Xiongguo's strong man, you will not lose the wind in the slightest.

The other table, that of Flamir and Leader Zhang, was discussing very different things. The former wanted to award a Friendship Medal, or send a brick to Chu Zhi.

The origin of the brick has been explained, it is a fragment of a double-headed eagle that was removed from the Kremlin. Originally, Chu Zhi intended to give "Katyusha" as a gift to Chu Zhi.

The focus is on the Friendship Medal, which is awarded to outstanding talents who promote cultural exchanges among various ethnic groups or develop friendly relations between countries.

Since its establishment, nine Chinese people have won medals, and the names of the nine cannot be typed, otherwise they will provoke the gods and beasts. One can imagine their identities.

After thinking about it, Flamere decided to award the Medal of Friendship.

I can't return after the stage of the Grand Theater is over, because I have to go to the cultural and tourism department for a meeting.

It's not a nonsense report meeting, but Chu Zhi's help is needed, and to be precise, it needs influence.

The spread of Chinese culture in the Spanish-speaking world and the Arab world is relatively slow, and Chu Zhi's help is needed. If it wasn't for the facts, it would really feel absurd. The cultural propaganda of a country needs the assistance of stars.

Living in the State Guesthouse, Chu Zhi thought of one thing before going to bed.

"There is a small problem. There will be a lot of songs to be sung at the 8th anniversary concert next year. It seems that there are not many Chinese titles released at present." Chu Zhi thought about this link.

"27115 Possibilities", "Chu Ci·Ode to Orange", "Chu Ci·Nine Songs", "Little Fruit Is Sweet" are full of four, plus the released singles, the total number does not exceed 60, and the concert is full If guests are not invited, about 20 or 30 songs need to be prepared.

The reserve of songs is true, Chu Zhi thought about it, and it can't be said that the two albums of the original body are also included.

"I don't know if there is time at the end of the year to record "Four Great Masterpieces" exclusively."

For the albums of the four major classics, the style of many songs is not suitable for him now, and it will be fine in another ten years.

"and also

, What is the name of releasing the Chinese album?" Chu Zhi browsed the music app, and a comment caught his attention. To be precise, it was not a comment, but a discussion with hundreds of replies.

[Yang Yi's dominance in the field of folk songs is like Chu Zhi's position in the new Chinese style, is there any doubt?]

1#: "Does everyone dare to touch Ci Chuzhi now?"

2# "The talk upstairs is a bit too hateful, but the words are not rough. Chu Zhi single-handedly put forward the theory of the new Chinese style, and then created two peaks. In contrast, although Yang Yi has many fine folk songs, and Chu Zhi is much worse than that."

3# "The owner said that his status is exaggerated. No matter how you say Xiaojiu is the pioneer of the new Chinese style, this status is incomparable. Xiaojiu is also thriving in the field of new Chinese style. As for folk songs, I think Gu Peng is also Okay."

4# "I also like Yang Yi very much. His lyrics are very good. The one who made me feel this way last time was brother Jiu."

 …

Is there anyone better than Gu Peng in folk songs? Chu Zhi was a little confused, and then searched for Yang Yi's information. It seems that this guy is really strong. Gu Peng used to be a fan of Yang Yi.

Well, in fact, Yang Yi was not the one who gave Chu Zhi a flash of inspiration, and he represented the new Chinese style in the domestic music scene, making it look like he only had this style.

"I should have released several rock and pop songs, mainly the Nine Songs and Song of Oranges I released, which are too good to play." Chu Zhi thought.

It is necessary to create a fusion of multiple genres.

Folk songs, soul music, jazz, rock, pop, etc. were all added, and Chu Zhi thought about it in accordance with the train of thought.

He still has a lot of songs in his hands, such as the unreleased "Rosemary", which is jazz.

"Those Flowers" campus folk songs, "Three People Tour" rhythm and blues, "Blue Lotus" rock, other types of Chinese masterpieces can be found slowly, really can do it!

With a new small goal, time passes quickly, and it will be the middle of the year.

The first month's sales of "Wan Guo Yi" are calculated.

[South Korea: 3.71 million

Island countries: 2.87 million

Bear Country: 410,000 copies

Other countries in Asia: 1.77 million

United States: 2.03 million

Spanish-speaking circle: 840,000 copies

Arab world: 650,000

France: 430,000

Other European countries: 1.48 million

Rest of the world: 1.29 million

Cumulative global sales: 16.46 million copies]

If you have been paying attention to Chu Zhi’s international blog, you will find that it broke through the 11 million mark in five days, and the statistics of Renren Daily’s posts exceeded 12 million in about a week, and the remaining three weeks only increased by 4 million or so worldwide. .

From the exaggerated decline, we can also see the impact of the Internet industry on the physical album market. The volume of albums depends entirely on diehard fans, early publicity, and the actions of passers-by.

It is completely different from the golden age of records. When the works are good enough, passers-by will buy them, and even form a word-of-mouth effect, surpassing the initial sales.

It sounds good right now, and the first reaction of passers-by is to listen to it on the Internet. Therefore, the increase in the sound source of "Wan Guo Yi" in the last three weeks is exaggerated, and the top 10 of the spo list in various countries has become a nail for three weeks.

Far beyond the expectations of the executives of Aiguo, it must be worth celebrating.

"There is still potential to be tapped in the Middle East, Vietnam, and the newly discovered Spanish-speaking regions. We need to make a plan quickly, at least before the release of the international album next year... or the year after next. The job of solidifying the market.”

Niu Jiangxue originally wanted to explain next year, but then remembered that next year's 8th anniversary concert would definitely be very busy, so he added a unit for the next year.

"Today is a celebration, right? We should be more happy, Niutau." Old Qian said.

"Indeed, you should be happy." Niu Jiangxue nodded, "But there is still room for improvement in album sales. Several regions will consolidate and reach 18 million."

The main team lineup, the first impression is that Wang Yuan and Fei Ge are the group that do things more aggressively, and then Lao Qian and Niu Niu are prudent, but Brave Niu Niu is actually a hidden gambler.

Many of Chu Zhi's decisions involve high risks, and Niu Jiangxue has never dissuaded her. Her view is that "high risks come with high rewards".

"Sister Niu is right. We can't take it lightly now. We need to grow bigger and stronger to create greater glories." Fei Ge answered.

From an emotional point of view, Niu Jiangxue and Fei Ge somewhat spoiled the atmosphere of the celebration party, but from a rational point of view, it was crucial for the company and Chu Zhi.

The company and Chu Zhi have too many things to prepare for next year's 8th anniversary global tour, as well as the US version of Masked Singer's consolidation of his status in the music scene.

For this album, a rough calculation of the entity and the sound source accounts for more than 200 million US dollars. No wonder it is said that releasing a best-selling album can enable retirement. "Wan Guo Yi" is completely enough for retirement.

Chu Zhi took an extra 10 million dollars and added it to the year-end awards of all employees, because the album's performance is inseparable from the efforts of everyone in the company.

Get off work early today, Chu Zhi invited the whole company to have dinner + supper three times in a row. It sounds like a lot of money, and the company has more than 300 employees.

In fact, based on the standard of 2,000 yuan per person, it would not cost much to Chu Zhi. Chu Zhi fully complies with the "Three No's Principles", never coercing, never putting on airs to persuade people to drink, never coercing.

The most paradoxical thing is that Aiguo’s dinner party is voluntary. If you don’t participate, you can discount half of it. Take tonight as an example. , can get 890 yuan.

If you think about it, you will know that Chu Zhi's arrangement will cause many employees not to go. For social fear, it is not good to make a home and order a delicious takeaway.

Team building rarely gathers across the company, but is it important? "Don't dominate employees outside of work," said actor Dimon.

With the sky-defying results of "Wan Guo Yi", the celebration party of Aiguo Company was very joyful, and the people in the industry were shocked.

Bretten, chairman of the International Phonographic Association ifpi, said frankly, "In the situation where physical records have been lingering, digital records are the core of the new era. It has been seven years since there has been a physical album with sales of more than 10 million in the first month in the world. The reappearance of tens of millions of records is not the recovery of the physical record industry, but the return of people before death.

We should not think about why "Wan Guo Yi" can only sell 16 million copies. We made a table based on the data from 20 years ago. If the album was released in 2003, it is predicted that the sales volume will exceed 30 million. Top 20 in the historical record sales list.

Our association gives a sad prediction that in 2030 physical records will be completely summarized, and albums with global sales of over one million will become big hits. "

Bretten's mentality is very pessimistic, but it is indeed a fact. More and more first-line singers and powerful singers have shifted the focus of their recording career to digital albums, and even the physical products have degenerated into souvenirs.

Nor is it alarmist.

Even though it is only mid-October, it is fair to announce that "Wan Guo Yi" is the number one in the global annual record sales list, not only the number one in 2024, but also the number one in the global record sales list for eleven years.

The last ten million album was "The Surface of the Sun" by the veteran rock band Huayu in 2017, and in July 2013, the pop king Presley released his last album "Care Carpe Die" with a sales volume of more than 17 million .

Today's global internet headline hot search is: "@

Rarely, but entertainment news, the less words, the bigger things is the norm.

Su Yiwu slapped his head and almost forgot Chu Zhi as a fairy, so it's all right...it's all right, what a ghost!

"@品石, according to the certification of the General Administration, 200,000 is a diamond record. With my calculation ability from elementary school to high school, and passing all mathematics, the sales volume of Chu Zhi's multilingual album is more than 16 million?"

"..."

This string of numbers is enough to silence Su Yiwu. He had recorded "Crossing the Yalu River" before, and he had eaten the cake left by Chu Zhi, regardless of his qualifications and reputation.

Still thinking in her heart, will Chu Zhi be angry?

Seeing this news, Su Yiwu knew that he was a small person. As far as the sales of this album were concerned, Yang Ma's cupcakes really looked down on her.

"I remember right. Lin Xia reposted the 400,000-selling post twice. She seemed very proud. Even Chu Zhi didn't even get a fraction of it. If I were Lin Xia, I would be ashamed and quickly push down some top-ranking ones. Hat." Su Yiwu muttered.

He used to be the top streamer in the same batch as Chu Zhi, but he fell down. Even though the skinny camel is bigger than the horse, he is still the artist with the most mother fans besides Chu Zhi, but he still feels uneasy.

Ashamed of yourself?

Of course not, Lin Xia realized in "I'm Really a Singer" that Chu Zhi is not a human being, and she gave up comparing with him long ago, and followed the pace, walking very happily. Currently, she is the artist with the second highest endorsement fee in China.

[When will there be another new Chinese style album, I am tired of listening to more than 20 songs over and over again. ]

[Chu Zhi is a real animal, wasn't he filming in the first half of the year? In the second half of the year, he produced such an album. ]

[If I remember correctly, more than 16 million seems to be the singer with the highest album sales in Huaxia?]

[Not only in China, but also in the whole of Asia, smashing the record of more than 12 million yuan in South Korea's first generation boy group, which is the pride of Bangzi. ]

[The first person in Asia, bull, bull. ]

and many more.

"@品石事件" doesn't have a big impact on passers-by~www.readwn.com~ Even people who don't follow stars, after several years of hot search bombings, the impression that Chu Zhi is awesome is deeply ingrained, even if he has won the historical sales volume of Asian records The champion is also within the acceptable range.

But this time it stimulated the little fruit...

"This joint book project, we must succeed." Rock Sugar Sydney Biscuits clenched their fists, and they could see that they were full of information, but the nails that had just been pasted were a little painful, and there were nail prints on the palms.

Do you still remember this id? He was a big fan of Li Xingwei at the beginning, and then he went undercover to the Orangery, stepped on the gas pedal and ran wildly on the road of Xiaoguo, and now he is the station master of Jinmen Xiaoguo.

More than 40 webmasters across the country, that is, die-hard fans, joined forces, including Wei Tongzi, a woman who has served as the host of the Orange Festival for four times.

Hovenia Angel Madoka: [If this plan fails, it will become a ball!]

Master Jiu: [It will definitely be a success. By the way, didn’t Berry Berry say yesterday that she has something important to tell?]

Tangtang: [@楚爱吃cranberry, are you there?]

The small group on WeChat is very lively. The rock sugar pear biscuit is Tangtang. At first, it opened a small account because it was afraid of being recognized. Of course, it is not a small account now, but a main account.

The plan of everyone in the group is very simple, let idols release physical records in China!
