Chapter 261 Chapter 110 - Looking to the future (final chapter)
For the first time, He Runqing felt a little nervous.
I felt a little embarrassed, the hand holding the phone trembled slightly, and my lips were a little dry.
After the phone rang a few times, it was connected over there.
"Hey, Miss Runqing, are you exhausted from the signing? Why don't you take a good rest and call me?"
"Well……"
He Runqing suddenly got stuck, obviously she had thought of a lot of reasons just now, and Liu Mei helped to think a lot, but the call was really connected, but she didn't know where to start.
"Sister Runqing? What's the matter? Is something wrong?"
"Oh, no, no! It's okay! I just think... well, Mr. Qi has already faxed the sales last week, so I...I really want to say thank you."
Li Qian seemed to smile, "Why is this? Sudden sentimentality? Let the sales be stimulated?"
He Runqing smiled awkwardly, "More than 60,000 copies! More than 10,000 copies in a single week! Before... even if you finished the album for me, I would listen to it anyway, but I still never Dare I imagine that one day I can sell more than 60,000 copies in a week at Dongguan Bookstore! Really, really... Uh, I don’t know how to say it, anyway, thank you!"
As she talked, the true feelings in her heart gradually began to surge, and the embarrassment just now gradually disappeared, "If you didn't agree to sign me, and still write and produce songs for me so hard, It is estimated that my current situation should be 10,000 in a single order? Hehe, maybe even 10,000 is considered a peak achievement."
On the other end of the phone, Li Qian smiled softly, "Okay, you are so stimulated! In fact, the sales volume, although I am a little surprised, but if you think about it carefully and analyze it carefully, it is not surprising. Yes, it's pretty normal."
"Normal?" He Runqing was a little surprised, and couldn't help saying: "More than 60,000 copies! Boss, your heart is too big, isn't it? Is this normal? Liao Liao's last album was only 50,000, which is special. It was caused by the situation, and it fell back to about 30,000 in the second week! Uh... By the way, will I also drop back all of a sudden next week?"
On the other end of the phone, Li Qian thought for a while and said: "First, although Liao Liao is the most popular now, in our country, I can assure you that your voice, He Runqing, has been the most popular voice in the country for the past ten years. The voice that has spread the farthest and deepest, and has been heard by the most people! The title of Queen of Sweet Songs is not called for nothing!"
"Your former fan group, even if they no longer like to listen to your songs, but at least they used to be your fans, plus those who have always liked you, add up, that number is definitely the highest in the country. No one in the music world can compare! In this respect, you can beat Liao Liao and Wu Xing Wu Su by several blocks!"
After a pause, Li Qian said again: "Second, you are undergoing transformation this time, and it is a transformation with a great reputation! Do you know why there are some so-called masterpieces, whether it is movies or music? Is it impossible to surpass even hard work? Because the reason why a masterpiece is a masterpiece is not necessarily the best among similar works, but it must be pioneering and sensational!"
"For example, Liao Liao sang "Persistence" back then, and Wu Xingwusu sang "Sisters and Sisters Stand Up". They, as well as a few songs like that, are the first time for the domestic music scene to appear, and they are sensational. and pioneering, so they suddenly became famous from the unknown before!"
"And this time, you, He Runqing, transformed from the former queen of sweet songs to singing "Women Are Tigers" and "Wolf", and you were very successful. So, you are a breakthrough, no problem!"
"In addition, in the publicity plan designed for you, the studio has used the publicity power of the Internet in place, and successfully mobilized public opinion. The transformation of you will become a reality within a few days. It became a hot topic in the country and basically attracted all your fans in the past."
"It doesn't matter whether you have heard your new song or not. Once everyone hears that He Runqing has changed, that he is singing rock and roll, and has a good reputation, they will definitely be very curious. Then, even if it is because of this curiosity, many people will be willing to buy a new song. Come back and listen to the cassette tape! So, it means that the fans you have accumulated in the past few years, take this opportunity to have a total explosion of energy!"
Listening to Li Qian's long-winded analysis, He Runqing immediately felt that it made sense, and she was fascinated by it unconsciously, and subconsciously nodded while listening. Then, she suddenly noticed Liu Mei's strange expression in front of her.
"Well……"
She suddenly remembered the purpose of her call this time.
But at this time, Li Qian had already smiled and said: "However, you should also be mentally prepared. Your sales will explode. Although it is absolutely impossible to continue to be so high next week, it will remain in the range of 30,000 to 40,000." , it’s completely fine, the problem is that not all of your fans are the same people who were on the Internet before.”
"People who surf the Internet in China are generally younger, so they accept your new style without any psychological barriers, and even applaud you positively. However, not all fans are like this, Especially the older ones, who are obsessed with the fans of the song in the past, hehe, so...you should be mentally prepared, it is estimated that in the future, there will be a group of your former fans who will start shouting and being fooled, maybe even There will be some very unpleasant things to say!"
He Runqing nodded subconsciously when she heard the words, and replied: "Then I'm not afraid. Over the years, I have heard a lot of good and bad words, and I am used to being scolded not once or twice! It's just...uh...uh... ..."
Turning her head to look at Liu Mei who looked anxious again, she said "uh" twice, but in her eagerness, she couldn't think of a suitable topic to quickly divert this topic - obviously the two of them discussed it together for half a moment just now. For many hours, I prepared all kinds of excuses, adding up to seven or eight if not ten.
On the other hand, Li Qian seemed to have noticed something unusual at this moment, and couldn't help asking: "What's wrong? You seem to be really a little bit wrong today!...Don't think so much, sleep well when you are tired, sales volume It’s yours, it’s yours, you can’t escape!”
He Runqing smiled when he heard the words, and in the blink of an eye, he suddenly saw Liu Mei making a gesture of picking up rice with a rice bowl. A flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he immediately thought of the plan discussed just now, so he hurriedly said without thinking: "Yes Yes, I’ve been talking about treating you to dinner for a long time, but it turned out to be a delay for one thing or another. This time, when I go back after I finish the promotion, let me fulfill my promise? My dishes are really good. Not bad, when you go to my house, I will cook for you, how about it?"
Li Qian smiled, "Okay! No problem, then it's settled! I'm just waiting for a feast!"
After a pause, he said again: "Miss Runqing, really, don't think too much, it's useless, you'd better take a break, you must be too tired after running around for so many days!"
"Uh..." He Runqing hesitated for a moment, then said, "Okay."
"Well, let's do this first. When you come back, I'll go to your house for dinner. Pay attention to rest outside and take care of your health. Then let's do this and hang up!"
... ... ...
The phone hung up, and He Runqing put down the phone, looking relieved.
Liu Mei sighed helplessly.
"Runqing, you are already thirty years old. No matter how talented he is in music, he is a big boy after all in life! You won't be so nervous if you want to hook him up?"
When He Runqing heard the words, she just smiled, still looking relieved, and said with a smile: "What do you think! I don't have any experience in this field, okay? Besides, it's him, not someone else!"
After a pause, she said again: "Uh... By the way, don't say it so harshly, what is hooking up! Didn't we all talk about it just now? Just trying to create a little ambiguity! It's Xiao Ai Ambiguous, not hooking up!"
Liu Mei shrugged and spread her hands, "Okay, okay! It's not hooking up, it's Xiao Ai. Ambiguous! Xiao Ai. Ambiguous, okay?"
... ... ...
On September 1, 1997, He Runqing's transformational new work "Dream Chaser" was officially released.
The next day, "Dream Chaser", which had only been on sale for one day, airborne to the top of Dongguan Bookstore's album sales list, with a weekly sales volume of 21,057 copies!
On September 9th, in the second week of the official release of "Dream Chaser", it broke the historical record of Dongguan Bookstore's single-week sales volume with a single-week score of 63,591, announcing the beginning of a sales boom!
On September 16th, the third week of the release of "Dream Chaser", the sales volume of "Dream Chaser" in Dongguan Bookstore exploded to 44,096 copies in a single week! It became the third highest achievement in the record sales history of Dongguan Bookstore.
But at the same time, just this week, a lot of negative word of mouth finally started to emerge.
The new song doesn't sound good, He Runqing shouldn't be singing rock, the new album has completely ruined He Runqing's perfect image in my mind... etc., all kinds of comments, all of a sudden.
As for whether He Runqing's transformation should be regarded as a success or a failure, and whether He Runqing should make the transformation, should she continue to be the queen of sweet songs, or should she change her image and become the current "30-year-old woman" in music? Within the circle, debates and disputes that lasted for several months began.
However, time does not stop.
On September 23, "Dream Chaser" achieved 37,517 copies in Dongguan Bookstore in the fourth week of its release!
The sales volume continued to decline, but it was firmly controlled within a certain range. Even, considering the sales volume of this album in the previous two weeks and one day, it was too sensational. Such a beautiful decline is already a miracle.
On September 30th, "Dream Chaser" achieved 33,549 copies in Dongguan Bookstore in the fifth week of its release!
So far, this album has been on the market for 29 days, but it has sold nearly 200,000 copies in just one retailer, Dongguan Bookstore!
This result is nearly 15% higher than the sales volume of Liao Liao's "Grateful Heart" in the first month!
Although judging from the decline, her long-term sales potential should not be as good as that of Liao Liao, so if you look at it after a year, maybe she is still not as good as Liao Liao, but even so, at this time, He Runqing There is no longer any doubt about the re-emergence. Even, she has reached the point where she can be called the queen of heaven with Liao Liao without feeling that she is not qualified at all!
And Li Qian's studio, with two queens in his hands, has officially announced his high-profile rise!
However, it is clear that a longer and farther road is still ahead.

After a long day of writing, I finally finished the second volume. This book has more than 1.1 million words. There are many words and emotions I want to say, but after thinking about it, I finally boiled it down to the simplest sentence: January Monthly ticket, please vote for me!
Finally, I wish you all a Happy New Year!
PS: I wrote it for a whole day, until my eyes were black, and I had more than 11,000 words. As a result, I am setting up automatic updates. I plan to release three chapters in one go during the day tomorrow, so that everyone can enjoy reading After a while, it was easy to canvass votes, but it turned out to be good, the backstage of the starting point... I really fucked it! Unexpectedly, Chapter 110 was inexplicably updated for me, and it took me half an hour to find out from the author's friend. He asked me why there was no 108 and 109, and it was 110 directly...
The editor was asleep, and I didn’t dare to call, so I had to ask other authors. In the end, everyone suggested to me that the order of chapters cannot be adjusted later, and neither can the editor. The number of subscriptions is not high, so you quickly deleted and reposted.
But, well, I can only feel sorry for the thousand or so brothers who have already subscribed! I can only delete and repost, and then, advance the release of the three chapters to tonight!
Everyone, I'm sorry!
