The much-anticipated May Day is coming.
At 23:55 on April 30, at this moment, no one knows how many people in Huaguo are standing by their computers, opening major music platforms, waiting for their favorite singers to release new songs. Of course, Lin Rui's fans are indispensable among them.
But in fact, among the people waiting for the release of new songs, Lin Rui's fans are not the largest. Because the Golden Week in May, the Golden Week in October and the end of the year are must-win places for singers in the film and television industry. Any singer or director with some ideas and confidence will choose to release new songs and movies during these periods, which can be called a feast for the entertainment industry.
For example, this May Day, among the singers who chose to release singles, there are 2 first-tier singers at the same level as Lin Rui, 6 second-tier singers, and even a singing king. These singers have worked hard on their new songs, and the lyrics and music are all written by gold medal songwriters at the very least. The company behind him has also not fallen behind in promoting new songs. Their shadow can be seen everywhere on Weibo hot searches, Xiaohongshu, major community platforms, major music platforms...
It can be predicted that this month's new song list is destined to be a bloody storm.
The film industry is not lagging behind, and is even worse. According to incomplete statistics, there are at least 40 movies selected for release during the May Day Golden Week, including two American Hollywood movies, which is destined to be another brutal fight.
However, the tragic early morning in the film industry cannot be seen yet, but the feast of new song charts has begun. At 12 o'clock in the morning, singers from major entertainment companies released songs almost at the same time. Lin Rui's "East Wind Breaks" and "Half City of Smoke and Sand" were also released at this time.
Major fan groups have chanted slogans of supporting their idols, opening major music platforms as soon as possible, downloading singles, and listening to them.
The Music Chart is a music list officially sponsored by China, and it is also the most authoritative list. It specializes in integrating and counting data from major music platforms.
At the annual music festival, the best male and female singers of the year, the most popular male and female singers of the year, the best album of the year, the best golden song of the year, the best lyrics of the year, the best composition of the year, the best arranger of the year, the best producer of the year, A series of awards such as Best Group of the Year, Best Newcomer of the Year, and Top Ten Golden Songs of the Year are comprehensively selected by the Music Chart based on statistical data, audience votes, and jury selections.
10 minutes later, the first new song ranking data of the Music Chart came out.
Ranking first is the song "Waiting" by the king of singers Li Kui, written by the top composer Su Ge. It has 200,000 listens and 300,000 downloads. It can be seen that there are many die-hard fans.
Ranked second is A-list singer He Hui, whose song "Love Is Unknown", a work by top composer Xu Hong, has 150,000 listens and 25,000 downloads. Obviously, there are many die-hard fans.
The song ranked third, unexpectedly, is not a first-tier singer, but a second-tier singer Chen Xueqi. The song "Ask for Love" was written by gold medal songwriter Ye Luo, with 120,000 listens and 23,000 downloads.
Another first-line singer Lu Feifei only ranked fourth. The song "Snow Falling in July", a work by gold medal composer Gu Yu, has 100,000 listens and 200,000 downloads.
The next five to nine are all occupied by second-tier singers, and their trial downloads are all good, with the lowest download volume being 12W.
Lin Rui's "Dongfeng Break" only ranked tenth, with 60,000 auditions and 10,000 downloads. "Half City of Smoke and Sand" ranked fifteenth, with 50,000 trial listens and 8,000 downloads.
In fact, this result is already very good. After all, this is only a 10-minute trial download. Let’s put it this way, in terms of the results achieved by “Dongfeng Break” in 10 minutes, it would definitely rank first among other months except October and December.
I can only say that May is too brutal, and is truly the month of death.
Of course, there is another reason why "Dongfeng Po" is ranked so low: insufficient publicity. Apart from a Weibo post when I supported Wang Xuan that day, "Dongfeng Po" did not do any publicity. To achieve this result is already extraordinary.
Therefore, the senior management of Lin Rui Studio and Tianyu Entertainment breathed a sigh of relief after seeing this result. When I saw the rave reviews in the comment section of the two songs, I strengthened my confidence and unanimously concluded that "Dongfeng Break" has the possibility of reaching the top.
After they listened to all the songs ranked before "Dongfeng Po", it was not only possible for "Dongfeng Po" to reach the top, but it became a certainty.
It is undeniable that the top four songs are all good, produced by top songwriters and gold medal songwriters, and they dare to come to the stage in May. Naturally, they are all rare masterpieces. Coupled with the king of singers, first-tier singers, and second-tier singers, the effect is Leverage.
However, "Dongfeng Po" is so outrageous!
This kind of epoch-making song can no longer be described as rare, and is almost described as a miracle. Otherwise, how could Wang Xuan, a newcomer in the composing world, get the price of a top songwriter with his song "Dongfeng Po"?
There is no doubt that "East Wind Break" will kill everyone even if it reaches the craziest December at the end of the year. In this May, it seems a bit overkill.
No, during the time they were listening to the song, "East Wind Break" had already reached eighth place.
In addition to Lin Rui and others, senior executives of other companies and the singers themselves are also paying attention to the data. He Hui, the first-line singer ranked second, is one of them.
He Hui started paying attention to the data when the new song list was refreshed for the first time. Seeing that he was in second place, only behind the singer Li Kui, He Hui nodded with satisfaction. He thought to himself, "My popularity is pretty good. Didn't you see that Lin Rui is only ranked at the bottom of the top ten?"
The competition in the first ten minutes is about popularity, and the next competition is about works. He Hui understands this very well. I just don’t know if I have a chance to win the crown in May.
He Hui is confident in his new song. Before releasing the song, he believed that his potential rivals were only Li Kui and two other first-line singers. Now, he believes that his only potential rivals are Li Kui.
As for Lin Rui and Lu Feifei, who were lagging behind, they no longer posed a threat to him. If you want to threaten him, you should do it three times first. If you can't even make it into the top three, how can you become his opponent?
Thinking of this, He Hui opened his commonly used music listening software "Kuge" and directly ordered Li Kui's new song "Waiting", contributing one download to "Waiting".
Put on your headphones and listen to music.
After listening, He Hui's confident mood changed to "...", and he didn't know if he should say "MMP" in his chest.
Li Kui's songs are good, on par with his songs.
But it’s normal to think about it. After all, if it’s produced by a top songwriter, how can it be a fuel-saving lamp?
When the quality of the two songs is about the same and the level of publicity is about the same, the only factor that determines the winner is the singer's popularity. In terms of popularity, he thinks he can't compare with the singer Li Kui.
"It seems that I can only be the second child for ten thousand years." He Hui sentenced himself.
Seeing the promotion of Lu Feifei's new song on the home page of "Ku Ge", He Hui clicked to download it and listen to it. After listening to it, he was in a good mood.
It is undeniable that "Snow Falling in July" is a song of good quality, but it is only good. It is still a little less interesting than Li Kui's "Waiting" and his own "Love Is Not Known". But it’s normal, you get what you pay for. Unless you suddenly burst with inspiration, how can the songs of top songwriters be compared to those of gold medal songwriters?
Lu Feifei was actually more popular than him before, but this song is right behind him.
He Hui, who was in a good mood, downloaded and listened to "Ask for Love", which was ranked third, and frowned slightly after listening to it for a while. After listening to it carefully, the good mood suddenly fell to the bottom.
The lyrics and music are both excellent, the ancient charm is fragrant, and the blue and white flowers express love... I just said that unless inspiration suddenly bursts out, the songs of gold medal songwriters cannot be compared with the songs of top songwriters, and now I have encountered one. In addition, Chen Xueqi seems to have performed exceptionally well in this song...
Damn it! Young people don’t respect martial ethics!
