Chen Guodong doesn't have many fans in the Inspur blog, only 200,000+, which is considered a small V.
However, he is well-known in the pop music world. He is a contributor to many music websites and magazines, and he has a wide network of contacts in the circle. Therefore, there are many star artists and industry celebrities who follow each other on the blog.
Once this article "The Silent Majority" was released, it received a lot of reposts.
Music superstars Tan Hong and Chen Fei'er, Feishi Records Music Director Lin Zhijie, famous artist Zhang Zhirong, popular radio host Shu Ping and Big V all gave affirmative comments, forming a wider influence on the Internet.
On the second day, September 16th, the three words "Lu Chen", "you at the same table" and "the silent majority" were simultaneously on the top search list of the Inspur blog!
There are also many bloggers posting short videos they shot at their colleges' welcome parties on their blogs. The content is basically a live video of student performers playing and singing Lu Chen's album.
A guitar, a handsome guy, a ballad...
Most of these videos were shot with mobile phones, and the picture quality and sound quality are not good, but the atmosphere of the scene is great, which is enough to show the popularity of Lu Chen's original songs among the student community.
People in the industry were shocked to find that "Campus Folk Songs", a category of folk songs created by Lu Chen, had unknowingly gained a wide influence with the release of his first album, and was recognized by countless young people!
When Lu Chen used the "campus folk song" to promote it, many people scoffed at it, and even denounced it as an act of sensationalism beyond self-control.
Now it is entirely possible to leave a strong mark on the historical classics of domestic popular music!
Some entertainment record companies have keenly noticed this market and are planning to launch works of the same style.
Lu Chen's wave blog fans surged by hundreds of thousands.
Also on September 16, the sales volume of "You at the Same Table" on Feixun Music Online exceeded 300,000!
Glasses shattered all over the floor!
We must know that the sales performance of singer albums on the website is mainly concentrated in the first week, especially the sales in the first three days are the most important, and the sales will definitely go down all the way, and there may even be a sharp dive.
The reason is very simple, online piracy will flood along with the hot sales of albums, and a large number of them will appear in post bars, forums and Feixun groups for others to download for free, which cannot be curbed at all.
Under such circumstances, even if it is the works of superstars, the downward trend is irreversible.
"You at the same table" was launched on Fetion Music on the 8th, and it has been a full 8 days since the 16th, and the prime sales period has already passed. Normally, the sales volume should be declining day by day, and it has entered the later stage of accumulation.
But no one thought that this album would go against the trend and sell 50,000 yuan on September 16th. It was unbelievable and extremely envious—it was outrageous!
This miracle once again strongly proved Chen Guodong's thesis about the "silent majority".
Because at this time, there should not be many fans of Lu Chen who bought the album.
The success of "You at the Same Table" made Lu Chen's declining popularity explode again. Many entertainment agencies and advertisers called or came to the door to contact Lu Chen's studio for cooperation.
Performing, endorsement, buying songs... Lu Xi was so busy that he didn't have time to take a break from his mobile phone all day long.
Of course, Lu Chen left all these matters to his sister.
He believed that his sister would be able to handle it well.
As for Lu Chen himself, of course it is impossible to be idle.
At 1 pm on September 17th, he went to Beijing Satellite TV Building to participate in the rehearsal of the National Day Gala of Satellite TV.
Beijing Satellite TV basically has four big parties every year, namely the Spring Festival Gala on the first day of the Lunar New Year, the New Year's Eve Welcome Party on December 31, the Taiwan Celebration Party on June 8, and the National Day Party on October 1.
Among them, the Spring Festival Gala and the New Year's Eve Gala have always been the highlight of the satellite TV station. Relatively speaking, the scale and investment of the Taiwan Anniversary Gala and the National Day Gala are not as good, and the ratings have not been high.
However, Beijing Satellite TV is located in the capital and has a great influence. Even if it is the National Day Gala with low ratings, there are still countless actors and singers who want to stand on its stage, even if it is to show their faces.
Lu Chen's opportunity to be on stage at Beijing Satellite TV's National Day Gala was originally obtained by him with the song "Walking and Singing". After winning the championship of "Singing China", it became more logical, and no one can gossip.
Otherwise, with his status as an independent new artist and his contacts in the circle, it is basically useless.
Lu Chen still attached great importance to this National Day Gala, so he rushed to the satellite TV building ahead of time.
Holding the invitation letter and ID card sent by Satellite TV, Lu Chen passed the security check smoothly and came to the T1 studio hall of Beijing Satellite TV.
This brand new studio was just opened two months ago, it can accommodate 3,000 live audiences at the same time, the total stage area reaches 3,500 square meters, the decoration is atmospheric and the facilities are advanced, and it is a leader in the industry.
Lu Chen has been here before, so he is familiar with it.
There are already many entertainers in the backstage of the studio hall. Lu Chen saw many familiar faces inside. They are all famous singers and stars in the circle. The lineup of this party is undoubtedly quite strong.
Under the arrangement of the TV station staff, he sat down in the reserved seat.
Also in the backstage, the arrangement of the dressing table is very particular. First of all, the top big stars are not mixed with big rooms, and they also have independent VIP suites available.
The second is the stars and idols of the first and second tiers, which occupy the space close to the entrance and exit of the stage and are separated by partitions, while the artists of the third, fourth, fifth, and eighteenth tiers are all arranged in a neat and unified position in the large dressing room .
As for other ordinary entertainers, such as the accompanying singers and dancers, basically they can only stand in the corner, or even go to the circular corridor outside to wait for preparations. It is not easy to drink saliva.
When Lu Chen participated in "Singing China", there were not many singers, so the backstage seemed to be very spacious. Now the rehearsal of the party is completely different, and it is very lively and crowded inside.
The staff of the TV station must hold the electronic amplified microphone to shout, otherwise it is difficult to hear the sound clearly.
After Lu Chen sat down, he didn't run around to make trouble for others, and took out his phone to play on his own.
His mind is very relaxed.
Because today is the first rehearsal, there is no need to make up or change clothes, and it is just a matter of a song.
"Senior Lu Chen!"
As a result, just as Lu Chen logged into Fetion, a voice full of surprises came from beside him: "You're here!"
Lu Chen couldn't help turning his head to look, and immediately smiled: "Xiao Chu!"
It was none other than Mu Xiaochu who greeted him!
Mu Xiaochu is a sophomore at the Beijing Institute of Foreign Languages. He is only 19 years old this year, and he is Lu Chen's junior.
Don't look at her delicate, gentle and shy personality, she passed all the way in the competition of "Singing China", borrowed a sweet song "Small Town Nocturne", narrowly defeated the challenger Gao Zhanpeng in Bihai's main singing area with a total score of 91.68, and won the first place. 5 national top 10 places.
In the final national finals, this girl with a sweet singing voice won the fourth place in the total score and was signed by Feishi Records.
After nearly a month, Lu Chen was also very happy to see this beautiful and lovely girl next door again. He stood up with a smile and asked, "When did you come here?"
Mu Xiaochu pursed his lips and smiled, "I just came here, with Senior Brother Zhang Haohai."
It was only at this time that Lu Chen noticed that there was a young man in a black jacket standing beside Mu Xiaochu.
The man in the jacket was twenty-four or five years old, his height was much lower than that of Lu Chen, he was handsome and stylishly dressed, and he had that kind of idol temperament, but his expression was a bit smirk.
"Brother Zhang..."
Lu Chen took the initiative to extend his hand to the other party: "Long time no see, how are you doing?"
Zhang Haohai is also one of the top ten singers in "Singing China". He is a native of the mountain city and a Beijing singer.
Lu Chen and Zhang Haohai were not familiar with each other. Apart from the original competitive relationship, there was no enmity or conflict between the two, so the slightly hostile attitude of the other party made Lu Chen a little puzzled.
"Singing China" is over.
"well enough."
Zhang Haohai shook hands with Lu Chen lightly, and said, "It's not as good as you are doing well, you've already released an album."
Lu Chen smiled and said, "It's just luck."
Since Zhang Haohai is neither salty nor salty, he will not use his hot face to stick the other party's cold ass.
Mu Xiaochu said seriously: "Senior Lu Chen, what you rely on is not luck, but strength!"
"I bought several copies of your album and gave it to my classmates. They all said it was very good, and they all want to meet you!"
A shy smile appeared on her face, and she said softly, "When can I invite the senior to have a meal together?"
Zhang Haohai's face turned dark.
Lu Chen immediately understood.
Dare to feel that Zhang Xiaohai has thoughts about Mu Xiaochu, and he is upset to see the latter take the initiative to get close to him.
He shook his head secretly, but he agreed straight away: "No problem, you have my mobile phone number, you can call me anytime, I will treat your classmates to dinner!"
Mu Xiaochu was pleasantly surprised: "Really?"
Lu Chen nodded seriously: "Of course it's true. As a senior, how can I deceive my junior?"
Mu Xiaochu was amused: "Thank you senior!"
The two talked and laughed intimately, Zhang Xiaohai finally couldn't stay any longer, and said, "You talk, I'll go over."
Mu Xiaochu and Lu Chen nodded, but neither spoke.
After Zhang Xiaohai left, the two looked at each other and smiled.
Lu Chen could tell that Mu Xiaochu didn't like Zhang Xiaohai, he just treated him coldly out of politeness.
Mu Xiaochu said, "Thank you senior."
In the same sentence, the meanings of the front and the back are very different.
