"Shuntian Metropolis Daily"

"... Actually, I appreciate Li Qian's courage. In addition, with his position in the music industry, he should be the one with the most confidence. However, it is difficult for me to be optimistic about the result. As we all know, oranges grow in the south of Huai, and tangerines grow in the north of Huai, and the climate is not acceptable to the local environment, which is really beyond human capacity to reverse.

Although in my opinion, the two songs such as "William Castle" and "Indian Old Dove" should be relatively excellent works in the rap songs made in China, I personally am very unpopular about the response and feedback he can get among domestic fans!

On the contrary, I find it interesting to "The First Experience of Love", which many of my colleagues are criticizing! Of course, for me personally, my favorite songs are two, one in front and one in the back.

"Jiangnan", a very beautiful r&b, currently at home, is absolutely top-notch, compared to the English r&bs he made for Liao Liao before! "Danxiang", a typical classical composition method, is very beautiful. You ordinary fans may just think it sounds very good, but I can say that the more expert you are, the more you know how good and awesome the song is!

Over the years, Li Qian has shown us his extremely comprehensive and abundant creative talent. Needless to say, his creative width is just five or six years. Not only did he produce a huge amount of production, a lot of works, but he also had various styles and schools. Right, a very comprehensive control ability. At the same time, his creative height is also very high, which is really something that few people can match!

A work like "The Unscented Fragrance" is a work that can represent a high level in his works. I personally feel that it should be of the same level as his classic song "Farewell" in the past few years!

I think...I personally think that Li Qian puts these two works in the album like this, one in front and the other, opening the way forward and the other in the back. This should also include some of his personal tendencies…”

Shuntian Yinyuetai "Big Names Talk about Big Names", guest: famous lyrics and songwriter, Liu Yue.

"I have written a series of about twenty articles, which have detailed the lyrics of more than twenty musical works of Li Qian in the past, which is a lyric appreciation. I remember that I said at that time that what is hidden under Li Qian's extraordinary musical talent is his rare poetic talent! Since the earliest "Wild Flower", this talent is so heartbreaking. Now, when Li Qian's new album "The First Experience of Love" was launched, I was surprised to find that the lyrics of the new album are indeed another collection of poems!

Of course, the ten songs are not entirely poetic, but in my opinion, there are at least five or six of them, which are worth sharing with you. The most outstanding ones are, in my opinion, "The Scent of the Scent", "William Castle" and "Childhood". The reason I chose these three songs is because they probably represent the three most typical styles of Li Qian in lyrics creation..."

"The Indian Old Dove and William Castle are so crazy! I'm so frank about it. Although Qian Ge was so popular before, his songs were really unloved. From Liao Liao, He Runqing, to Rose Power, Zhuang Meiyue, he could only listen. His rock was so popular, but I still couldn't love them! It was not until last year that Liao Liao's album, and he heard a few of them in English, that he felt something interesting and began to get in touch with his songs more. His works, and when this album was released, it was instantly amazing!

After listening to our domestic rap albums, there are at least ten or eight, but no song can reach the level of his two songs! Chinese rap is smooth and natural, and its style is weird and ridiculous, but it is also interesting! It is not as fierce and wild as the lyrics in English rap works. Even if he raps, he has a unique subtlety, but it is just right. If you savor it carefully, the fun inside will give you an indescribable sense of pleasure. At least for now, I can't imagine that there are any works that are more in line with the definition of Chinese rap music category than these two songs!

There is also the song "Jiangnan", which is not clear about its Chinese style or R&B, but the R&B style is quite strong, which is even more slutty! The first time I heard such a R&B with a strong Chinese flavor! Moreover, I dare to say that this album, whether it is r&B, rap, or our Chinese folk songs, is definitely the highest-level in China at present, and is even not weak compared to the albums of European and American superstars!

So, I announced that from today on, from this album, I decided to call him "Chief Leader" with you! I will worship you from now on!

What, you said that the leader has made such an international album before? Please, Liao Liao's album is an English song! Using English songs to create an international flavor can only show that the leader can actually be in Europe and the United States. Does it have a dime to do with Chinese songs?"

The music section of Sohu.com is topped with a long post, "Li Qian, you are my "leader"!"

…………

As the "leader" in the music industry, Li Qian's album release is a big deal for the entire domestic music industry.

Although there is no overwhelming publicity and no various programs are broadcast everywhere, this album was not really promoted before it was launched. There will be many fans who usually pay less attention to daily entertainment trends and do not know that Li Qian has released a new album. However, as long as someone who is concerned about industry trends, even if you just watch related reports, watch related variety shows and listen to any radio music program, you will definitely know that "The First Experience of Love" is on the market.

In particular, from the day after the album was released, almost all media across the country, especially major music radio stations, variety shows and variety show supplements of major newspapers, have made almost all efforts, and have begun to discuss the album with praise or criticism. In addition, word of mouth from people who have bought the album before, the reputation of this album has quickly spread to the greatest extent!

Simply put, mixed praise and criticism!

However, love songs like "The First Time" and "Kiss Goodbye" that are most likely to attract most people's favorites in the first place have quickly become the popular song orders on almost all radio stations!

And the most surprising thing is that these two songs are not the hottest ones.

The hottest ones are "Jiangnan" and "The First Experience of Love"!

For a moment, no matter where you go, as long as there is a audio-visual store or a speaker, you can almost hear "Circles, circles, every day, every year" and "Give me my photos back"!

Of course, criticisms of "William Castle", "Indian Turtle Dove" and "The First Experience of Love" are also very common in the columns of major newspapers!

However, considering Li Qian's reputation in the music industry and his amazing achievements in the past, before the market feedback was really returned, before the real data of sales and on-demand rankings were released, except for a few people who were eye-catching, most music critics, even if they missed Li Qian's "radicality" this time, were temporarily restrained in order to avoid being slapped in the face in the future. At best, they were just slandering, or expressing pessimistic and unpropossessed attitudes. They did not directly stomp these songs. The higher the level, the more people are, the more they are, and everyone is afraid of being slapped in the face.

Just when the music industry started to make noise and show unprecedented noise because of such an album, when the time came to the end of April, the registration for "Super Girl" across the country was officially closed.

The day after the registration deadline, the program auditions officially began.

The team was led by three guest mentors He Runqing, Zhen Zhen and Cao Zhan. Each team also invited a well-known music critic or musician, as well as a well-known singer. The program team divided into three groups and rushed to various places, opening the curtain of the "Super Girl" audition.

On May 1, at the national audition launch ceremony held by Huan'an Satellite TV in Changsha Prefecture, Hunan Province, hundreds of reporters gathered together in major domestic media. Unfortunately, although in addition to the three guest mentors, Qi Jie also attended the event on behalf of Minghu Culture, Xie Bing also sang the theme song of "Super Girl" live at the launch ceremony, and "Sing as long as you want" composed by Li Qian, the program's general planner and producer ranked first, was not present!

The reporters were obviously dissatisfied with this, but there was no way to be unsatisfied. Over the past few years, all the people who were running for this news were very clear about Li Qian's style of conduct. So at most, they could only hold back Qi Jie, He Runqing, Xie Bing and others from Minghu Culture to inquire about it and go back to collect the news.

So much so that although "Super Girl" has been making it so popular since its initial promotion, it has been overwhelming, but at its national launch ceremony, the most concerned and asked questions from reporters is Li Qian's new album.

Of course, at the same time, under the office building of Minghu Culture, Zhou Lao's Yangquan Hutong, and outside the gate of Shuntian Film Academy, there were many reporters waiting all day long.

However, over the past few years, not only did they already know Li Qian very well, but Li Qian also knew them very well, and they would not be caught by them at ease.

So another strange thing during this period is that when many newspapers publish reports or comment on the album "The First Experience of Love", they are accompanied by pictures of Zhou Lao going out for a run in sports outfit!

…………

Monday, May 2, 2000.

The record sales rankings of Dongguan Bookstore were released on time, and "The First Experience of Love" directly topped the list without any suspense, directly suppressing He Runqing's "The Cloudy Day" and Zhao Xinfu's "The Nonstop Love" who had been in a stalemate for a long time but was still fighting against He Runqing's "The Nonstop Love" and Zhao Xinfu's "The Nonstop Love" directly.

However, in terms of absolute sales, the sales data obtained by this album in the first week of its launch in a total of five days were not very impressive.

43816 pictures!

For ordinary singers, even He Runqing and Zhao Xinfu, this is a relatively normal first week data, and it may also appear slightly lower, but it is not abnormal. However, for Li Qian, with the previous four beauties bands, "Once Upon a Time", his status in the domestic music scene can be said to be superior to the public. In terms of influence and the loyalty of fans, it is the same level as Liao Liao and others, so this first week data is quite low for him.

You know, the first week of the album "Once You" was released, with sales reaching a record 147,269 photos in a single week! By the third week, there were more than 103,548 photos! That is a super sales record that no one can even get closer to!

However, even so, almost no one in the industry has criticized and criticized it.

Because first, this album has almost no corresponding release promotion. Compared with the first and second weekly efforts of other albums, its sales in the first week do not reach a relatively ideal value, which is normal; secondly, it is Li Qian's album after all, and it is a bad thing to just watch the data for a week?

There are basically no such stupid people in China at present!

However, when this relatively low sales data comes out, to some extent, discussions will inevitably increase.

Especially the album's first title song "The First Experience of Love" and the two rap-style works are still mixed and mixed.

For a moment, the word "rap" became the most popular word in the music circle nowadays. Major newspapers and magazines have invited musicians, music critics to write, music programs from major radio stations, and variety shows music programs from TV stations have also invited some well-known music producers or singers to comment in person, and have had a special talk about "rap". It seems that suddenly, if you don't know what rap is, you will be out of date.

Of course, no one can find Li Qian!

Industry rumored that both Huanan TV and Shuntian TV have a good relationship with Li Qian. The senior leaders of the two TV stations could not withstand the begging of the staff below and were forced to call Li Qian in person, hoping that he would come to the last show, but in the end, Li Qian refused without hesitation.

There are even rumors that there is a deputy director-level figure on China TV station who personally called Li Qian, but the result was as always, just two words: Don’t go!

The entertainment industry is a world of fame and fortune, and it is even more terrifying. These two news came out one after another. For a time, some people praised, some cursed, some ridiculed, and some were so sad that when they arrived at a satellite TV station or even the director and deputy director of China TV station, let alone singers, they were even more than the level of being a record company that dared not be punished easily. If you want to be on the show, you want to promote, you want to expose, and even you want to attend some variety shows and evenings to make money. TV stations are definitely an extremely important platform for singers!

But, when a person at the Master level called to invite him, Li Qian not only didn’t even show his face, but also said bluntly on the phone!

If you have a big courage or not, just this status and personality alone have definitely broken through the sky! It's simply jealous!

…………

Wednesday, May 3, afternoon.

After hiding for more than ten days, the reporters in charge of staring at Zhou Lao this afternoon suddenly discovered that Zhou Lao was going to go out!

Although the one who came to pick her up was just a business car from Minghu Culture, not Li Qian's broken off-road vehicle, it still cheered up the spirit of the reporters who were already cross-eyed.

When the news came out, a large number of reporters rushed over and followed the instructions of their peers.

The more I chased me, the more excited it was, the business car actually headed straight to the northern suburbs!

So, the business car sent by Minghu Culture carried Zhou Lao just out of the North Fourth Ring Road, and there was already a long convoy behind him.

Behind the long spear and short cannon are pairs of shiny eyes like wolves!

Who knows if Li Qian is waiting in a vacation villa or a resort villa in the Miyun Reservoir!

But soon, the car had just left the city area, and saw a row of more than a dozen cars following behind. Before the business car could reach Miyun Reservoir, it got off the highway halfway, and then took a long convoy of more than a dozen cars and turned back to Shuntian Mansion.

Then, the car drove back to Yangquan Hutong with a swagger. Zhou Lao got off the car with a cool swagger and hurriedly got out of the car. The reporter who was already confused made a "oh yeah" gesture and pushed the door open with a smile on his face and went home.

The business car was about to turn around, but the driver stopped the car again, looked at the reporters with compassion, and then whistled away with a throttle.

At this moment, many reporters were confused.

…………

In the afternoon, when Zhou Lao called a car from the company to walk the reporters around, almost at the same time, in front of an unknown old-fashioned teahouse on the street in Shuntianfu, a Volkswagen brand car that looked inconspicuous stopped on the side of the road. Li Qian didn't even bring sunglasses and came out of the car.

After entering the teahouse, before he could ask, someone in the booth had already stood up and waved to him.

Li Qian nodded to the stunned front desk waiter and turned around and walked over.

After a few steps away, the two of them reached out their hands, held them tightly, and then let them go.

"President Chen, you have been waiting for a long time."

"No, I've just arrived, so please sit down!"

The two sat down. Chen Youcheng stared at Li Qian for a few seconds at first, and then he realized that it was too impolite to stare at people like this. So he raised his hand and held his glasses a little embarrassedly, and said with a smile: "From the time when we signed the contract in "Blue Blood Sword", we knew that Mr. Li, you are the author of that book. I was looking forward to this meeting. Now I finally got my wish!"

Li Qian smiled, "You are so polite. The main reason is that, first of all, I am quite busy recently, and secondly, I don't want to attract attention. You also know that I have always insisted on not allowing the disclosure that I am the author of these two books..."

"No, no, no," Chen Youcheng couldn't wait to interrupt, saying, "Mr. Li, you misunderstood, I don't mean to blame you!" As he spoke, he smiled and said, "To be honest, I don't know how many reporters want to find you now, so I'll interview you? It's a great honor to come out and meet me at this time!"

Speaking of this, he suddenly smiled "haha" and turned his head to pick up a stack of books from his seat, "I'll make you laugh. Don't look at me in my fifties and age, but I want to chase stars too!" As he spoke, he took out a signing pen from himself and handed it over, "I'm afraid that I'll forget about the books and writing later. Can you sign me first?"

Li Qian smiled slightly, took the pen, pulled the book, opened the cover and wanted to write, but said, "You have always called me Mr. Li, this is a bit too polite. You should call me Li Qian!"

Chen Youcheng called you, "Then call you Brother Li! In terms of age, I may be able to call you by your name, but in terms of talent and achievements, I call you Brother Li, I am considered to be a high-level person!"

Li Qian smiled and shook his head.

He knew the polite tricks between literati, but he was too lazy to push a title, so he simply picked up a pen and signed it, just said, "It's good that you're happy!" In terms of psychological age, he was in his early forties and was the most appropriate thing to talk about friendship with a man in his early fifties.

After finishing writing, the pen closed its hat and pushed the book back. Li Qian said, "The handwriting is very poor, which makes you laugh."

Chen Youcheng opened it and saw that the dragon and phoenix were written on it, "Mr. Yangshan's elegant appreciation of Jin Yong", and he couldn't help but instantly reveal a flashy expression.

Mr. Yangshan is his name, also called the nickname or an alias.
