Chapter 31: The first album "Fairy Tale" is released!
Two days later, Cao Jun, Gao Xiaosong and others returned to work and began recording MVs for songs such as "Miss Dong" and "Ten Miles of Spring Breeze", as well as the styling shoot for the new album.
By the way, Cao Jun suffered a lot during the photo shoot for the new album.
Stylists and photographers from Taiwan Province specially designed the overall look and took photos for Cao Jun when he came to the capital.
The shooting date was set, but I didn’t expect that it would coincide with the heaviest rain in Beijing this year. The planner and photographer had all scheduled shooting on location, so we had to brave the wind and rain to start work.
The staff put on all the wearable clothes brought by the stylist.
Poor Cao Jun was standing in the wind and rain wearing only very thin clothes. The sneakers on his feet were all soaked. The white sneakers had turned into camouflage shoes. He was completely frozen and had no expression at all. There was still water on his face.
Woolen cloth.
However, in order to complete the work as soon as possible, Cao Jun kept insisting. Fortunately, the results were very good, and everyone shouted "It was worth it!"
After more than a month of preparation and production, Cao Jun's first album "Fairy Tale" was officially released in Beijing.
This record, also highly praised by Gao Xiaosong, sparked a long-awaited excitement in the industry.
Many singers from the capital, under Gao Xiaosong's trick, went to the Maitian Company to audition.
After listening to it several times, Lao Lang said, "Let's do it again, it sounds so good that I don't want to leave."
Music critic Dai Fang said without hesitation that it should be the best album of the year, beating Daolang's "The First Snow in 2002" in seconds.
Of course, this is what the music critic Dai Fanghe said. Cao Jun didn't say that, and he still wanted to be shameless.
Gao Xiaosong also said: "This is the most comfortable record I have ever made since I started making music..."
However, among the more than ten singers who came to Wheatfield Company to audition, almost none said they liked "Fairy Tale", although this song obviously has more potential to become a popular song.
Maybe it's because this song is too simple and straightforward, or maybe it's because they like this song, which makes people seem unqualified. They all expressed that they prefer "Miss Dong", "Ten Miles of Spring Breeze" and "Memories Related to Zhengzhou"
Waiting for songs.
Cao Jun didn't care. Anyway, his songs were not sung for them. As long as the audience liked the song "Fairy Tale", that would be fine.
They all optimistic about Cao Jun and become the next Pu Shu.
Cao Jun did not take it seriously, but said modestly: "Pu Shu is a singer that I like and respect very much. He is my role model. Compared with him, I am still far behind."
Gao Xiaosong smiled and joked: "Xiao Cao's biggest shortcoming is that he is too modest."
Seeing that Cao Jun and Gao Xiaosong started to talk to each other in business again, Song Ke felt a little unsure. He turned to look at Zhang Yadong, who had always been a transparent person.
"Yadong, what do you think of this record?"
After Zhang Yadong thought for a moment, he commented: "I won't talk about other songs. After all, folk-style songs have a relatively small audience."
"Taking the song "Fairy Tale" alone, although it is not a great song, it is commercial and popular enough. It is a standard sad emotional song that meets the public's taste. It is very suitable to be the title song of this record."
After listening to Zhang Yadong's analysis, Song Ke looked at Zhang Yadong in surprise.
Although Zhang Yadong has some preferences in music appreciation, his professional vision is not limited. No wonder he can produce so many high-selling records.
After listening to Zhang Yadong's words, Song Ke seemed to have taken reassurance and no longer felt uneasy.
On the other hand, after ensuring that the quality of the album samples was reliable, Warner Records immediately began mass-producing records.
There is no official release date. After accumulating a certain amount of goods, Maitian Company began to distribute the goods to video stores and other sales points that have reached cooperation.
Immediately afterwards, Warner Records' publicity and distribution team personally took action to operate the album "Fairy Tale" and landed it on CCTV Music Channel, Mango TV and other TV media to build momentum for Cao Jun's album "Fairy Tale".
It was also at this time that Cao Jun learned that Maitian was formerly a subsidiary of Warner Records.
No wonder Pu Shu’s album has been featured on major domestic TV stations, and his relationship is backed by a big tree...
With the recommendation of Warner Records' publicity and distribution department, Cao Jun's new album's title song "Fairy Tale" easily entered the recommendation list of CCTV Music Channel, and was ranked in prime time.
In addition, the title song "Fairy Tale" is also on Mango TV, Channel[V] and other TV stations.
In fact, there are very few domestic TV music programs. In addition to CCTV Music Channel, Mango TV, Channel[V], Hu Jiannan Southeast and other TV stations also broadcast music programs.
There are many radio music programs, and the most influential music radio station is the China Central Radio and Television Station’s Sound of Music, which is also known as the Sound of Music Music Radio.
April 5, 5:30 pm.
Cao Jun was in the office of Wheatfield Company, watching Mango Channel's "Music Constantly" program with Song Ke and Gao Xiaosong.
A lively and melodious female voice sounded: "Good afternoon, viewers, and welcome to "The Music Keeps On" broadcast under the title of Master Kong Iced Black Tea. I am the host Shu Gao."
After a few routine opening remarks and advertising slogans, the host got to the point.
"Today we recommend a few good songs to you as usual. First of all, the first song is the title song of the same name from the debut album of new singer Cao Jun - "Fairy Tale".
"This is a very beautiful and touching love song. At the same time, the singer Cao Jun is also a very handsome male singer! I believe the female fans in front of the TV will definitely like it very much after watching it."
"In the MV of this song, he and actress Yuan Quan gave us a touching love story like a fairy tale. Please enjoy it quietly."
As soon as the female host Shu Gao finished speaking, the MV of "Fairy Tale" began to play. As the plot developed, Cao Jun's warm and sad singing followed.
"forget how long it is
never heard from you again
Tell me your favorite story
I thought about it for a long time
I started to panic
Did I do something wrong again?
…”
After the song was played, the female host Shu Gao appeared on the TV again.
Shu Gao continued to say with a smile: "Isn't it very touching and nice to listen to? Now the song "Fairy Tale" has just been released. His first album of the same name "Fairy Tale" is sold in many places across the country. If you like it,
, remember to support this new singer."
At this time, Gao Xiaosong said confidently: "The Mango Channel program "Music Keeps On" has a very high ratings. Millions of viewers watch it on time every day."
"There are also CCTV, Channel[V], etc., all these TV media, plus some domestic radio stations, all these combined, in a few days, tens of millions of people should have heard it.
The song "Fairytale"!"
Song Ke smiled and nodded: "There are definitely tens of millions, but I don't know how many of these listeners are willing to spend money to buy the album "Fairy Tale"."
Gao Xiaosong thought about it and said, "There are not millions but hundreds of thousands of people who like the song "Fairy Tale". It should be no problem to sell one or two hundred thousand copies."
Song Ke shook his head: "It's hard to say. Some songs are very popular and the records don't sell well."
"But it doesn't matter, as long as the song "Fairy Tale" can become popular, the mobile phone ring tones we cooperate with China Mobile are the real big deal."
After saying that, Song Ke looked at Cao Jun beside him with a contented face.
"Xiao Cao, why don't you speak? What are you thinking about?"
Cao Jun said seriously: "I am thinking about a problem."
"What's the problem?" Song Ke and Gao Xiaosong were both curious and looked at Cao Jun in unison.
"I'm thinking whether we should eat donkey meat roasted later, Beijing roast duck, or noodles with soybean paste."
"Get out of here..."
Chapter completed!
