Chapter 399 Exaggerated Music Critic
"Adu, are you still recording songs for Xu Nuo from Miss Yajun?" On the phone, Lin Jianguo opened his mouth and felt joy.
"Well, I'm all here this afternoon. What's wrong? Is there anything wrong?" Du Xinghe asked Lin Jianguo.
"Hongyan sent the first share of the first issue of "Mandarin Ducks and Butterfly Dreams" yesterday. I checked it and I've already received the account just now, let me tell you!" No wonder Lin Jianguo was very excited. It turned out that the first share of the first issue of the first share of the account was received.
Yesterday, Hongyan calculated the share of "Mandarin Ducks and Butterfly Dream" as of March 13, with a total of 17.15 million, far exceeding Du Xinghe and the others' initial expectations.
In less than two weeks, "The Dream of Mandarin Ducks and Butterfly" sold 2.45 million copies nationwide, which exceeded Fan Jingru's "First Snow" second in sales list by one million! It was nearly 1 million copies higher than the popular "Little Bird" during the same period!
2.45 million copies sold in 13 days, which is comparable to the four kings and kings of singers! Zhai Xiaofeng's past album, the best one sold only 1.8 million copies per year. "The Dream of the Mandarin Duck" broke this record in 10 days. Even if Zhai Xiaofeng had the best psychological expectations before, he could not imagine that "The Dream of the Mandarin Duck" would be sold to this level! This is simply amazing!
Not only has the sales volume, but the reputation of "The Mandarin Duck Butterfly Dream" is also very good. The neoclassical Chinese style created by Du Xinghe has been unanimously recognized by music critics. Not only does it contain soft articles written by Hongyan Qixuan and Xingyue Media themselves, but it is more of fair film critics.
There are even some exaggerated film critics who admire this song to a state of Buddhism and Taoism.
When Du Xinghe called, Fang Yajun picked up a copy of the "Entertainment Daily" published yesterday from the sofa and read it casually. As a result, she saw a music review of "The Dream of Mandarin Ducks and Butterflies" that opened her eyes. She simply studied this song as a textbook! Each sentence is ingenious and unique analysis and gives it a profound philosophy. Fang Yajun was shocked to read it! I thought to myself, does Du Xinghe write this song at that time have such a profound meaning?
...
【Yesterday was like the flowing water】
People's thoughts are like flowing water, never stopping; the same is true for time.
The son said on the river: The dead are like this!
【Don't stay away from me】
The various destructions of the past, the future has not yet been born, the present moment is always in life and death, and everything is changing. People have birth, old age, sickness and death, and things have formation, existence, destruction and death. It is precisely "will not be taken away, only karma can be with you."
【I am worried about the chaos in the present day】
The past cannot be changed, the future cannot be grasped, and ordinary people often regret it because they miss the past and are afraid because they worry about the future. It is precisely because "there is nothing in the world. Mediocre people disturb them."
【Draw the knife to cut off the water and flow more】
I can't forget what I want to forget because I'm too deliberate and I don't want to forget. Because I don't want to forget.
A game of psychology: I thought to myself, "Don't think about blue, don't think about blue." What color do you think about now?
The infatuated man and the resentful woman say "I want to forget him (her)" every day. Do you guess have forgotten it?
【Toast a glass to relieve sorrow and more sorrow】
Don’t let the sorrow go away, don’t let the joy go away. If it doesn’t let go, it will disappear naturally, but if it doesn’t let go, it will stay. It is precisely "Wine enters the sorrowful intestine and turns into a few drops of tears of lovesickness."
Physiological analysis: alcohol can stimulate blood circulation, make nerves more excited, relaxed, and have a lot of thoughts. In this case, people are more impulsive!
【The four driftings of the Ming Dynasty】
No need to think about any hardship in life. When you wake up, tomorrow will come, and today will naturally pass.
The breeze is derived from "the clear breeze and the bright moon on the river". The breeze remains unchanged, and the bright moon remains.
Drifting is a metaphor for the fact that life is like duckweed in Buddhist scriptures. Duckweed has no roots and follows the flow, implying that sentient beings are confused and wasteful.
[The origin is that only new people laugh, who hears old people crying]
Things in the world are like tides, people are rising and falling, and people are coming and going. New life is born, parents are laughing, old people are dead, children are crying; on the day of the wedding, everyone is laughing on their faces, on the day of the divorce, everyone is crying in their hearts
Life is like this. There is life and death, there is coming and going. New people will become old and old people will no longer be new.
【The word love is so hard】
Love is not heavy and will not be born in the Pure Land. Love is constantly difficult to be born in the Pure Land. With love, there is hatred. When you like it, love becomes hatred. When you don’t love it becomes hatred. With love, there is distinction, and when you have distinction, there is comparison, which makes people more painful.
Love is not just a matter between men and women. When loving others, most people suffer endlessly because they cannot get rewards and love and hate. Because of love, they hope to get it, and they suffer. This is the suffering of "not getting it"; because of love, they are not suitable to leave after getting it, but everything will eventually be lost, and it is also painful when they lose it. This is the suffering of "love separation"; those who love there are people who do not love, fate and fortune. When living with people they do not love, it is also a kind of pain, which is the suffering of "hate of enemies and hatred". If you love this, you still want to love that, you still want to get that, you still want to get that, and you still want to get that, and you still want to get that, and you still want to get that, and you still want to get that, and you still want to fill in your desires. This is the suffering of "the five yin fire is only strong", plus birth, old age, sickness and death, which is the eight sufferings of life.
【I want to ask for an understanding】
"I don't know the true face of Mount Lu, but I am in this mountain." It is impossible to figure out everything clearly and clearly. You cannot be stubborn. "Who am I before my parents were born?" is a big topic of Zen Buddhism. "How the universe was formed" is an unsolved mystery in the scientific community. Technology is still developing. Ordinary people believe that the truth is getting closer and closer, while scientists believe that the truth is getting farther and farther away.
【Also pretend to be confused】
It is difficult to be smart, and it is even more difficult to be confused. The more you know, the more reactionary you are, and the more you think, the more painful it is. In life, when you get along with your family, you are not deaf or blind, and you are not worthy of being the leader. There are many things you cannot understand too much. If you understand too much, you will have disputes. At work, as a leader, you must learn to pretend to be confused. Some things must be invisible. In any era, any country, don’t think too much about this era, this country, and don’t have too many opinions.
【It is difficult to be content with more knowledge and less】
Less private and few desires, and always be content and enjoy happiness. The characteristics of the business society are: try every means to tease your sacrificial life, stimulate your sacrificial life, and encourage indulgence. Because of desire, there is demand, and only when there is demand can you take out your money. Everyone is greedy, the difference is that the content of greed is different: there are greedy, sleepy, the greedy, the greedy, the greedy, the greedy, the greedy, the greedy, the greedy, the greedy, the greedy, the greedy, the greedy, the greedy, the greedy, the greedy, the greedy, the greedy, the greedy, the greedy, the greedy, the greedy, the greedy, the greedy, the greedy, the greedy, the greedy, the greedy, the greedy, the greedy, the greedy, the greedy, the greedy, the greedy, the greedy, the greedy, the greedy, the greedy, the greedy, the greedy, the greedy for knowledge, the greedy for helping others, the greedy for good deeds, and the greedy for practicing is to achieve enlightenment, the greedy for enlightenment, the greedy for becoming a Buddha and an immortal. Those who are difficult to see contentment in the world are not greedy.
【It seems like a mandarin duck butterfly, an era that should not be
How many modern men and women can experience the joy of mandarin ducks playing in the water and the butterflies flying together? In this era, everything is about fast, and there is no time to talk about love. Everyone's principle is "You must be nice to me first, so I will be nice to you." The fact is that you want to love but are afraid of hurt. Don't talk about love. It's hard to even have basic trust. About love: In the past, it was men and women. Now it was men and men, women and women, and super narcissistic. In the commercial society, everyone is selling and can buy anything. The role of the family is getting smaller and smaller. According to this trend, there will be no marriage system soon.
【But who can get rid of the sorrow of the world】
When material things are abundant, the spirit becomes empty. Money can buy a lot of tangible things, but cannot buy invisible happiness. Money can satisfy your body, but cannot satisfy your soul.
【Mandarin duck butterfly in the world of flowers】
There are only two people in the world, one is a man and the other is a woman. With men and women, it forms a world of flowers.
【It's already a madman in the world】
When I was a child, I saw crazy people and felt that they were abnormal. Because adults said they were sick, they only realized what normality is? What abnormality is.
Most people’s lifestyle, behavioral habits, and thinking patterns are normal. If you are different from most people around you, it is abnormal and they are sick.
According to this logic: Rich people are abnormal because they have too much money; wise people are abnormal because they like to think too much; and monks are abnormal because they do not want wives.
Your preferences are different from most people, and it is not normal. Others like to drink, you don’t like it, others like to smoke, you don’t like it, others like to sleep in, you like to go to bed early and get up early, and others also say you are sick.
In fact, thinking about it on the other hand, most people’s behavior does not mean that it is right, and a few people’s behavior does not mean that it is wrong, there is no right or wrong.
Most and the minority are also relative, and they are also changed with the environment and the times. If you go to a mental hospital, you will find that the abnormality is yourself. It is precisely because of "mental ill people have broad ideas, and mentally retarded children are more happy"!
[Why do you have to go up to the blue sky]
When you have a stable value in your heart and have an in-depth view of things, you will not be easily affected by the environment. Heaven is also hell, and hell is also heaven. It is not affected by the environment. In Buddhism, it is called "Eight Winds cannot be blown", what are the Eight Winds? Honor and Disgrace, gains and losses, slander and ridicule. In Taoism, "the world praises it without persuasion, the world rather than it without being discouraged, and the inside and outside are determined to distinguish the competition between honor and disgrace." In other words, no matter how others say, scold you, or praise you, you will not shake your heart, because you are you, and you will not change because of other people's language. Ordinary people's happiness is completely based on the external environment, and they will be happy when they get it, and they will suffer when they lose it. Joy and anger depend on others. Some people praise you, they will be floating in the celestial world, and some people will be depressed.
【It is better to sleep with gentleness】
Gentleness is the description of touch among the basic "six dusts" in Buddhism. The "six dusts" are color, sound, fragrance, touch, law, and touch, including warm, cool, hard, soft, astringent, smooth and other feelings. It refers to the accompaniment of beauty, which is the so-called warm, fragrant, warm jade.
After reaching the state mentioned in Buddhism and Taoism above, you can be happy and happy, "slept when you are hungry, eat when you are thirsty, drink when you are tired", eat when you are hungry, drink when you are thirsty, sleep when you are sleepy, encounter fire when you are fire, and pass by water when you are water. The water does not soak, the fire does not burn, and play with the light and dust, playing in the world.
Doing things is like "the wind blows the bamboo, and the wind passes the bamboo without leaving a sound, the geese crosses the cold pot, and the geese crosses the pot without leaving a picture". When things come, they will take things seriously, and when things go, they will not stop; when they treat others, they will not welcome them, they will not be inside or outside, cherish the present and treat each other with sincerity.

After Du Xinghe and Lin Jianguo were on the phone, Fang Yajun immediately handed the newspaper to Du Xinghe and said with a smile: "Looking at this music review, it's just a magical story for your "Mandarin Ducks and Butterfly Dream"!"
Du Xinghe took the Entertainment Daily to check it out. He read this music review yesterday. This was not their own soft article, but written by a female music critic named Kui Yu. Kui Yu is quite famous in the circle. Generally, the music reviews she wrote are long-lasting comments. This time she wrote this song "The Dream of Mandarin Ducks and Butterflies" is no exception. He actually combined the philosophy of life for this song. Du Xinghe looked at it and felt nonsense.
Even though he was praising "The Dream of Mandarin Ducks and Butterflies", Du Xinghe felt that this was a bit too much and smiled at Fang Yajun and said, "These music critics are like literary and historical workers, and they always misinterpret the original author's meaning. Many things that the original author had never thought of were thought of were all come up with. Sometimes I really admire them, how could I hear so many feelings from a song? I think my musical feeling is good enough to understand the emotions of the song and the meaning to be conveyed. But compared with these professional music critics, I am simply a primary school student who has just started to get involved in music. Haha."
Fang Yajun smiled and said, "Your "The Dream of Mandarin Ducks and Butterfly" is very popular. I saw media analysis that this album may hit the annual sales champion across the year?"
"I think it is unlikely. "Little Bird" may become the annual sales champion for the New Year, and "Mandarin Duck Butterfly Dream" is not. This album is just a big hit. I personally feel that the sales will be very weak in the later period. Hongyan conducted market research on the prospects of "Mandarin Duck Butterfly Dream". Combined with historical data analysis of similar albums, the result is that "Mandarin Duck Butterfly Dream" will sell about 70% of its total sales in the first three months. Sales will decline sharply in three months, and it is difficult to become the annual sales champion."
The annual sales champions mentioned by Du Xinghe and Fang Yajun are different from the annual sales champions. Professionals in the music industry and record companies pay more attention to this annual sales champion.
The sales champion of the Natural Year is easy to understand. It is a ranking of the total sales of records in a natural year. This list has many disadvantages and cannot reflect the real sales status of an album. Because albums released in January must have an advantage over the albums released in December, so most professional media will not evaluate the sales of records based on the sales ranking of the Natural Year. Only when the year-end summary is summarized, the sales ranking of the Natural Year will be listed.
The annual sales champion across the year is different from the natural year. It uses each month as the end to sell sales in the past year.
For example, the New Year's Eve sales ranking released in August 1992 counts the ranking of Chinese album sales in the 12 months from August 1991 to July 1992.
The New Year's Eve sales champion released in February 1993 counts the record sales rankings in Chinese-speaking regions from February 1992 to January 1993.
An authoritative data statistics agency (the name of this statistical agency is [Authoritative], which is the most credible and authoritative statistical agency in the Chinese music industry), and the record sales list for the year-on-year is announced every month.
In this sales ranking, no matter how many months you release the album, you will count a 12-month annual sales cycle. The various benchmarks in the music industry are also determined based on this annual sales.
If any company's record can be permanent on this list, it will be a true manifestation of its strength. Currently, this list is monopolized by the four majors. The 24 annual sales charts for two consecutive years, all of which are the top 15 singers.
In the 1993-03 annual sales list just announced, "Little Bird" ranked 50th with an annual sales volume of 7.26 million.
The number one is "When Awakening Dreams" by King of Singers. The album King of Singers was released in April last year. In the latest annual sales list, only 11 months of sales were counted, but the sales volume of 29.65 million sold in these 11 months is enough to dominate the sales list.
In fact, on the annual sales list released in the 1992-02 issue, "When Awakening" defeated Zhu Hanqing, the "Red Moon" album by the king of the era with an annual sales volume of 28.05 million, and dominated the album.
This issue is a dominant ruler in "Wake Up" and it is estimated that in the next two episodes, "Wake Up" will still dominant.
It is already a very impressive achievement to be able to enter the top 10 in the annual sales list. At least it is a diva or a little king-level figure that can enter the top 10 in this list.
To get to the top of this list, almost only the Heavenly King and the Super Queen can do it.
For example, "When Awakening Dream", which can be ranked more than three consecutive episodes on this list, is completely a phenomenal record, and only the King of Singers can do this.
This list has been monopolized by the four majors for many years. It is rare for other companies to enter the top 15 records. It has not been five years since non-four singers have entered the top 10 of this list.
The emergence of "Little Bird" will definitely break the monopoly of the four majors on this list. You should know that "Little Bird" was first released on December 7 last year. In the latest episode of 1993-03, "Little Bird" only counted the sales volume in December, January and February in three months, and could enter the top 50 in three months. This result is comparable to the record of the Great Heavenly King.
According to the current strong sales situation of "Little Bird", it is only a matter of time before "Little Bird" enters the top 10 of annual sales. Perhaps "Little Bird" can enter the top 10 in another half a year. If it can still be sold very firmly, just like the King of Singers' "When Awakens" by the King of Singers, then by the end of this year, "Little Bird" is likely to create miracles and create history with the situation of singles, top the annual annual sales list!
Compared with the long flow of "Little Bird" after the outbreak, "Mandarin Duck Butterfly Dream" is coming with great momentum and is likely to be in a fierce way. However, relying on the explosive sales in the first three months and the scattered sales volume behind it, "Mandarin Duck Butterfly Dream" has entered the top ten of the annual sales list of [Authoritative]. It should not be difficult.
If Yun World can enter the top ten of the annual sales list for two consecutive albums, it will definitely be a sign of breaking the four major monopolies. (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
