The China Original Music Chart, referred to as the Original Music Chart, is jointly established by the Chinese Musicians Association and dozens of media such as Feixun Music, Yiwang Music, and Pop Radio. It is the most authoritative pop music list in China.
The original sound list is published once a week on weekends, ranking the top 50 current domestic pop songs according to the popularity index. The list index is based on the data provided by major music media, including playback, download, on-demand, purchase and other values, converted according to a fixed formula .
In the domestic pop music scene, the ranking of the original sound chart largely represents the current trend of fashion.
The ranking of the Chinese original music rankings in the fourth week of August will be announced on September 27th.
So people in the circle who followed this list were surprised to find that they saw something remarkable.
That was Lu Chen's name.
Lu Chen's "Brother Sleeping on My Top Bunk" / Popularity Index: 2135, ranked 49th this week!
Lu Chen's "Youth Jinshi" / Popularity Index: 3714, ranked 30th this week!
Lu Chen's "Lian Lian Feng Dust" / Popularity Index: 4056, ranked 28th this week!
Lu Chen's "Time Ballad" / Popularity Index: 4470, ranked 25th this week!
Lu Chen's "You at the Same Table" / Popularity index: 5389, ranked 16th this week!
Lu Chen's "Those Flowers" / Popularity Index: 5578, ranked 14th this week!
Lu Chen's "The Brightest Star in the Night Sky" / Popularity Index: 7262, ranked 4th this week!
7 songs, as a newcomer who has just debuted, Lu Chen actually won 7 important seats on the soundtrack with his first album "You at the Same Table" in one fell swoop!
It was a miracle!
In the history of original sound charts, it is very common for multiple works in the same album to be on the list, but basically there are two or three songs at most. If it is an excellent work by a superstar, it is not uncommon to see five or six songs on the same list. .
But if there are 10 works in an album, 7 of them are on the list, which is really rare!
This must require a very high average level of work for the entire album, which can be highly recognized by the public. If it was easy to achieve before the appearance of the original sound chart in the 1980s and 1990s, it is really too difficult now.
The reason is very simple, the original music list is the original list, no matter how popular foreign cover works are, don't want to be on the list.
At present, the domestic original strength is declining. It is normal for an album to release one or two high-quality songs. Basically, no company is willing to put all seven or eight high-quality songs in one album-a waste of money!
Lu Chen's "You at the Same Table" is undoubtedly an outlier. It first became a hit on Feixun Music Network, and even aroused the industry's thinking about domestic original music, and set off a trend of campus folk songs in the pop music scene.
The quality of the works in the album is too high. The 10 songs are all excellent works, and they can even be called classics. They can be said to be a masterpiece, showing Lu Chen's creative talent to the fullest.
Therefore, in addition to being shocked, everyone felt that the appearance of this miracle was taken for granted.
On the list of the third week of the original music list in September, three works by Lu Chen have already appeared. After a period of brewing and fermentation, it exploded into the sky this Monday, which is actually not so difficult to accept.
What really makes people envious is that Lu Chen's impact on the original music chart has just started. Next week, "The Brightest Star in the Night Sky" is very likely to top the chart, and then all 10 songs will be on the chart.
It is a real miracle that cannot be surpassed if all 10 works of an album are on the original sound chart!
It seems that Lu Chen is creating such a miracle of dominance.
The pop music scene, which had been quite quiet before, was stirred up by Lu Chen's album!
More people focused their attention on this new generation of singer-songwriter.
His compulsion in the circle has improved a lot invisibly.
On September 25th, Lu Chen participated in the official rehearsal of Beijing Satellite TV's National Day Gala.
On September 29, Lu Chen completed the live recording.
In addition to "Walking and Singing" sung by the top five contestants of "Singing China", he relied on "I Love You China" to perform solo, and his appearance time even surpassed many star artists.
"I Love You China" uses the second real main theme version. In order to get rid of the influence of Wang Bin's scandal, Beijing Satellite TV used Lu Chen's two works with the same title on the Inspur blog to play and shift the focus.
It also benefited Lu Chen.
His cooperation with Beijing Satellite TV this time is undoubtedly a win-win result!
On the morning of the second day after the recording of Beijing Satellite TV's National Day Gala, Lu Chen drove to Chen Fei'er's studio.
After entering the new century, the domestic entertainment industry has grown stronger and flourished. With the emergence of new media and the influence of foreign trends, many big stars have left their original contracted companies and established their own personal studios and companies. .
There are undoubtedly many advantages of building a studio or company by yourself. First of all, artists can fully control their own destiny, and will not be controlled by the contracted company in their career, and they will hold all aspects of interests in their hands.
But this self-reliance model is usually only suitable for people who are already at the top of the circle. They have strength and connections, money and fame, and they can make others choose to cooperate instead of suppressing and crowding out. Naturally, they will do very well.
If you are a newcomer or a second- and third-tier star who is half-red but not black to open a studio, it will be too difficult. Without the support and resource investment of the contracted company, everything depends on your own hard work, 99% of which will be finished.
In the circle, there are many artists who are ambitious but lacking in fame choose to start their own businesses, but they lose all their capital and disappear, and then disappear and be forgotten.
If Lu Chen hadn't been supported by the huge wealth from Dream World, the best he could do would be to sign a contract with an ordinary company as a small artist, and then work hard to earn money to make ends meet.
He directly established his own studio, which is equivalent to taking a big step ahead of schedule.
And for most artists, this step may be beyond their lifetime!
Chen Feier Studio was established 7 years ago.
At that time, she was already the queen of sweet songs in the pop music scene, and countless people joined her after she became independent.
Therefore, Chen Fei'er's studio has a great reputation in the circle, and I don't know how many newcomers want to sign under his name.
The star studio can also sign people.
When we got there, Lu Chen wanted to wait downstairs, but Chen Fei'er insisted on coming up.
According to what Sister Fei said, since everyone is here, why not come up and have a cup of tea
Made me look bad
Lu Chen could only obey orders obediently.
Chen Feier's studio is located on the 38th floor of a luxurious business building in the central business district of Beijing. Its scale is comparable to a small and medium-sized company, and there are not a few employees serving her.
"Miss Fei!"
What Lu Chen didn't expect was that just as he got out of the elevator, he saw Chen Fei'er standing at the door.
Today's Chen Fei'er is wearing a long Chanel dress, with long hair and shawls, she is as beautiful as jade.
"Lu Chen..."
She opened her arms with a smile and gave Lu Chen a beautiful hug: "Welcome!"
Lu Chen smiled and said, "Thank you, Miss Fei!"
He believed that not many people could enjoy such treatment.
It can be judged from the expressions on the faces of the attendants and assistants behind Chen Fei'er.
Chen Fei'er let go of her hands, she took half a step back, and said seriously: "I should thank you!"
"The two songs you wrote me are very good, I like them very much, that's great!"
Lu Chen smiled and said, "As long as you like it."
He promised to write two songs for Chen Feier, and he sent the scores and demos to Chen Feier directly after finishing it the day before yesterday.
So there is today's meeting itinerary.
"do you know?"
There was a moving look in the eyes of this sweet song queen: "I have listened to both songs dozens of times, and tried to sing them more than a dozen times. The more I sing, the better I feel. I decided that they are the first and second songs of my new album. The second main hit!"
For any songwriter, it is undoubtedly a very high honor and brilliance for a work to become the main album of a diva-level celebrity. Once the album sells well, it will definitely be a good thing for both fame and fortune.
Generally speaking, those who are qualified to write the main works of Chen Fei'er's album are the top creators in the circle.
In addition, for a diva-level singer like Chen Feier, releasing an album is a very prudent and even solemn matter. The choice of the title song must be the best among the best, and it takes a long time and a lot of energy to decide.
It took only a day or two for the two songs written by Lu Chen to be in Chen Fei'er's hands, and she decided to use them as the first and second titles of the new album. In addition to her great trust in Lu Chen, she also I really like these two songs.
In particular, Chen Fei'er is currently facing a juncture of transformation. She has placed great expectations on this new album, and it is really not easy to make such a decision.
It was also because of this decision that Chen Fei'er invited Lu Chen over.
Lu Chen smiled: "I feel a lot of pressure."
Chen Fei'er smiled and said: "I believe in your strength. This album of mine is built around your two works. Let's visit my studio first, and then we will go to Feishi Records together."
Chen Feier has always maintained a very good cooperative relationship with Feishi Records. Most of her albums are produced through Feishi Records, and this new album is no exception.
Chen Fei'er invited Lu Chen to Feishi Records today, because he was going to finalize the title of the album. In addition, there were also issues about the arrangement and the overall style of the album that needed to be discussed.
As a songwriter, Chen Fei'er hopes that Lu Chen will participate in it and give suggestions for her new album!
For Lu Chen, being able to participate in the production of a singer's new album and include his name in the playlist is also an excellent opportunity to enhance his reputation and career.
So Lu Chen only asked Chen Feier for a friendly price of 500,000 for the two songs.
Of course, Chen Fei'er doesn't care about hundreds of thousands or hundreds of thousands, not to mention two or three hundred thousand for a song, she can afford even one million, but this represents the good friendship and contractual relationship established between the two parties.
