Amid this wave of "apologizing to Liu Kai", another prediction made by Wang Xuan came true again.
The song "Your Answer" became a hit and surprised everyone.
No, it's fright!
The 3.8 million downloads on the first day were higher than the single-day downloads of "Dongfeng Po" at its peak.
Of course, just because the number of downloads on the first day is high does not mean that you can get this number of downloads every day. Throughout the month, the number of downloads of "Your Answer" is definitely not comparable to that of "Dongfeng Po".
In the final analysis, the reason why "Your Answer" achieved such first-day downloads was because it benefited from a wave of netizens who thought they owed Liu Kai. Many people downloaded "Your Answer" out of guilt for Liu Kai. Your answer". Just like on Earth, many people in the early days watched Mr. Star’s movies in pirated versions. Later, when Mr. Star got older, countless netizens felt that they owed Mr. Star a movie ticket.
After "Your Answer" consumes this wave of bonuses, how many downloads it can get later depends on the song itself. Fortunately, regardless of the bonus, "Your Answer" is also a rare masterpiece, and the number of subsequent downloads will definitely not be much different.
And this number of downloads also makes "Your Answer" the best in the new music season.
After "Your Answer", ranked second is Zhang Kun, a newcomer from Tianhai Entertainment, whose song "Farewell" has 780,000 downloads. Li Tao's premonition came true. In the next season of the rookie season, there will indeed be works by top composers. This song "Farewell" was composed by top composer Ange.
He is also willing to pay for it. Ange is not a top songwriter under Tianhai Entertainment. A song costs at least 8 million.
But it’s normal to think about it. Zhang Kun is not a newcomer in the strict sense. He already had quite a reputation in the industry before he signed with the company. Tianhai Entertainment is actually similar to the previous Tianyu Entertainment. How could it be possible to sign Zhang Kun if they were not willing to pay the cost? This song was definitely promised by Tianhai Entertainment before signing Zhang Kun.
In third place is Wu Rongliang, a newcomer from Huayi Entertainment, who brought a ballad "Her Wedding Veil" with 720,000 downloads. The song was composed by gold medal composer Ye Luo. Also very willing to pay the cost. Because Ye Luo is the closest to a top songwriter among gold medal songwriters, a song is also not cheap, at least 5 million.
Chen Xueqi's new song "Ask for Love" released in May was composed by Ye Luo. It directly beat He Hui's "Love Is Not Known". Her ability as a lyricist and composer is evident.
And ranked fourth is Du Chen, a newcomer from Jinhui Entertainment, whose song "The Only True Love" was composed by gold medal songwriter Gu Yu. But gold medal songwriters and gold medal songwriters are also different. Gu Yu's quality is lower than Ye Luo's, and most of the songs he has written are not as good as Ye Luo's. For example, "Snow Falling in July" is not as good as "Ask for Love", and "The Only True Love" is not as good as "The Only True Love". Her Wedding Veil".
Jinhui Entertainment is a long-established company. In the last century, it has produced three king-level international superstars, as well as several singers and actresses. During its glory days, it occupied almost half of the entertainment industry. Although New Century is somewhat in decline, a lean camel is bigger than a horse. It still has a singer, a movie queen, and a lot of first-line singers and actors. It is not comparable to a cutting-edge company like Tianyu Entertainment.
Lu Feifei is a first-line singer under Jinhui Entertainment, and this song "Only True Love" has received 670,000 downloads because of Lu Feifei's endorsement.
The song "Innocence" by newcomer Liu Sitong from Star Media, ranked fifth, was written by veteran gold medal songwriter Wang Gang and has 630,000 downloads. It is not far behind the songs ranked second, third or fourth.
If Jinhui Entertainment was the most glorious entertainment company in the last century, then Star Media is one of the most successful entertainment companies in the new century. Together with Great Wall Entertainment and Huayi Media, it is known as the three giants in the entertainment industry.
King-level international superstars are the highest-level entertainers in the entertainment industry. For example, Fa Ge, Xing Ye, Jackie Chan, Jet Li, Bruce Lee, Jay Chou, etc. are all considered to be King-level international superstars and have many fans at home and abroad.
In China, there are a total of seven positions for king-level international superstars, and these three giant companies have taken six of them.
If you compare Tianyu, you will know how terrifying the three giant companies are.
The most famous artist under Tianyu is undoubtedly Lin Rui, who is a top singer. However, he only recently became the king of singers. Before that, Lin Rui was only a first-line singer. As for the three giant companies, they not only have two international superstars, but also many big-name artists. For example, the singer Li Kui is owned by Star Media.
The difference is really clear at a glance. Before Lin Rui became the King of Songs, Tianyu Entertainment could only be regarded as a second-rate entertainment company. After becoming the King of Songs, Tianyu Entertainment barely managed to squeeze into the threshold of a first-rate entertainment company.
Let's put it this way, if we divide the companies in the entertainment industry according to the gold content of their artists, they can be divided into giant companies, quasi-giant companies, first-rate entertainment companies, second-rate entertainment companies, third-rate entertainment companies, and companies that are not first-rate.
A giant company must have at least two king-level international superstars, a quasi-giant company must have at least one king-level international superstar, a first-rate company must have at least an artist of the king of singers and movie stars, and a second-rate company must have at least a first-tier singer and actor. For first-rate artists, a third-rate company must at least have second-tier singers and actors.
Of course, this is just a hard threshold. Stepping into the threshold does not mean that the company can obtain the corresponding level. It also depends on whether the company has the foundation. For example, if a king-level international superstar establishes a new entertainment company, is this company a quasi-giant company? impossible! Without that foundation, foundation cannot be established overnight.
This rookie season in the music industry can be regarded as a microcosm of the entertainment industry. The next six to tenth songs are all occupied by artists from companies that are ranked high in the entertainment industry, such as newcomer Fan Xiaoshan from Great Wall Entertainment and newcomer He Leilei from Dingsheng Entertainment.
And except for "Your Answer" by Yi Qi Juechen, the downloads of the second to tenth songs are actually not much different. For example, the tenth song "Migratory Bird" also received 500,000 downloads, which is the same as the second song. The difference in "Farewell" is only 280,000.
Wang Shasha's "Like a Fish" only ranked fifteenth, with 400,000 downloads. This ranking made Wang Shasha panic for a while, and she even cried in private, because she felt that she had failed in her debut, and even top songwriter Wang Xuan could not lead her.
But Cai Qin and Li Tao breathed a sigh of relief after seeing the rankings, especially the comments under the songs.
Wang Shasha is a fan of the authorities. She only saw her low ranking on the first day, but could not see how crazy the promotion of the songs ranked ahead of her was. Hot searches on Weibo, major forums, endorsements from big-name artists, recommendations on music platform homepages...all of these are simply crazy, okay?
Naturally, Tianyu also promoted "Like a Fish", but it wasn't to such a crazy level. Not to mention anything else, "Like a Fish" is not recommended on the homepage of music platforms.
It’s not that I don’t want to buy it, it’s that I can’t buy it. There are only a few recommendations on the homepage of the music platform, and they are all taken by big-name companies. It's a long-term cooperative relationship, and Tianyu can't get involved even if he wants to.
Fortunately, the rookie season of the music industry is not about the rankings on the first day. This is a marathon that lasts for half a month. It is still unclear who will laugh at the end. After looking at the first-day downloads, rankings and comments of "Like a Fish", Cai Qin and Li Tao were confident that "Like a Fish" would get a good ranking.
At least in the top five!
