China Original Music Chart, or Original Music Chart for short, was jointly created by the Chinese Musicians Association in conjunction with dozens of media such as QQ Music, NetEase Music, Pop Radio, and so on. It is the most authoritative pop music chart in China.
The Original Music Chart is published every weekend, ranking the top 50 domestic pop songs according to the popularity index. The chart index is based on the data provided by major music media, including broadcast, download, on-demand, purchase and other values, converted according to a fixed formula.
In the domestic pop music scene, the ranking of the Original Music Chart to a large extent represents the current trend of pop music.
The fourth week of China Original Music Chart in August was released on time on September 27.
So, the people in the circle who paid attention to this list were surprised to find that they saw something very extraordinary.
That was the name of Lu Chen.
Lu Chen's "The Brother Who Slept on My Upper Bunk"/Popularity Index: 2135, ranked 49th this week!
Lu Chen's "The Bright Times of Youth"/Popularity Index: 3714, ranked 30th this week!
Lu Chen's "Love In The Wind"/Popularity Index: 4056, ranked 28th this week!

Lu Chen's "Those Flowers"/Popularity Index: 5578, ranked 14th this week!

Seven songs, as a newcomer who has just made his debut, Lu Chen unexpectedly won seven important seats on the Original Music Chart in one fell swoop with his debut album "You Who Sat Next To Me"!
It was simply a miracle!
In the history of the Original Music Chart, it was very common for the same album to have multiple works on the chart, but it was basically two or three songs. If it was an excellent work of a superstar, it was not uncommon for five or six songs to be on the same chart.
But it was really rare for seven of the 10 works in an album to be on the chart!
This must require the average level of the whole album to be extremely high and to be highly recognized by the public. If it was easy to achieve before the emergence of the Original Music Chart in the 1980s and 1990s, it was really difficult now.
The reason was very simple. The Original Music Chart was an original chart. No matter how popular the foreign cover works were, they could not get on the chart.
At present, the power of original works in the country was declining. It was normal for an album to have one or two masterpieces. Basically, no company was willing to put seven or eight masterpieces in one album — it would be a reckless waste of God's gifts!
Lu Chen's "You Who Sat Next To Me" was undoubtedly an outlier. It first sold well on QQ Music, and even triggered the industry to think about domestic original music, and set off a school folk wind in the pop music world.
The quality of the works in the album was too high. The 10 songs were all excellent works, and some of them could even be called classics. It could be said to be a collection of masterpieces, showing Lu Chen's creative talent to the fullest.
Therefore, in addition to being shocked, everyone felt that the appearance of this miracle was only natural.
In the third week of September, three of Lu Chen's works have already appeared on the Original Music Chart. After a period of brewing and fermentation, this week's soaring to the sky was actually not so difficult to accept.
What really made people jealous was that Lu Chen's impact on the Original Music Chart was obviously just beginning. Next week, "The Brightest Star In The Night Sky" was very likely to top the list, and then all 10 songs would be on the chart.
For all 10 works of an album to be on the Original Music Chart, that was a real miracle that could not be surpassed!
It seemed that Lu Chen was creating such a miracle of dominating the chart.
The pop music world, which had been quite quiet, was stirred up by Lu Chen's album!
More people focused their attention on the new generation of singer.
His reputation in the industry had improved imperceptibly.
On September 25, Lu Chen participated in the official rehearsal of Beijing Television's National Day Party.
On September 29, Lu Chen completed the live recording.
In addition to "Life On A String" sung by the top five contestants of "Singing China", he relied on "I Love You, China" to sing solo, and even appeared on the stage longer than many star artists.
"I Love You, China" used the second real theme version. In order to get rid of the impact of Wang Bin's scandal, Beijing Television used Lu Chen's two works with the same title on the Waves blog to shift the focus.
It also benefited Lu Chen.
His cooperation with Beijing Television this time was undoubtedly a win-win result!
The morning after the recording of Beijing Television's National Day Party, Lu Chen drove to Chen Fei'er Studio.
Afterentering the new century, the domestic entertainment industry is growing and flourishing. With the emergence of a large number of new media and the influence of foreign trends, many big stars have left their original signing companies and set up their own personal studios and companies.
There are undoubtedly many advantages to setting up their own studio or company. First of all, artists can fully control their own destiny, and will not be controlled and manipulated by the signing company in their career, and will hold all aspects of interests in their hands.
However, this kind of independent model is usually only suitable for people who already stand at the top of the circle. They have strength, connections, money and fame, and can make others choose to cooperate rather than suppress and exclude them. Naturally, they will do very well.
If it's a newcomer or a half-popular or half-black star who opens a studio, it will be much more difficult. Without the support and resource investment of a signing company, everything depends on their own hard work, and 99% of them will be finished.
In the circle, there are many arrogant artists who choose to start their own business, and as a result, they lose their hard-earned capital and disappear from the crowd, and have since disappeared and been forgotten.
If Lu Chen didn't have the huge wealth from the dream world as a support, the highest level he could do was to sign up with an ordinary company as a small artist, and then work hard to make money to maintain a living. (TN:
He directly set up his own studio, which was tantamount to taking a big step ahead of time.
And this step, for most artists, may not be crossed in their lifetime!
Chen Fei'er Studio was established seven years ago.
At that time, she was already the Queen of Sweet Songs in the pop music world, and countless people supported her after she became independent.
Therefore, Chen Fei'er Studio was very famous in the circle, and it was unknown how many newcomers wanted to sign under her name.
Star studios can also sign people.
When he arrived at the place, Lu Chen wanted to wait downstairs, but Chen Fei'er insisted that he come up.
According to Sister Fei's words, since he was here, how could he not come up and have a cup of tea?
Not giving face?
Lu Chen could only obey.
Chen Fei'er Studio is located on the 38th floor of a luxury business building in the Central Business District of Beijing. Its scale is comparable to that of a small and medium-sized company, and there are many employees who serve her.
"Sister Fei!"
What Lu Chen didn't expect was that as soon as he got out of the elevator, he saw Chen Fei'er standing at the door.
Today, Chen Fei'er was wearing a Chanel long dress, and her long hair was as beautiful as jade.
"Lu Chen..."
She opened her arms with a smile and gave Lu Chen a beautiful hug: "Welcome!"
Lu Chen said with a smile, "Thank you, Sister Fei!"
He believed that not many people could enjoy such treatment.
It could be judged from the expressions of the assistants behind Chen Fei'er.
Chen Fei'er let go of her hands, took half a step back, and said very seriously, "I should thank you!"
"The two songs you wrote for me are very good. I like them very much. It's great!"
Lu Chen said with a smile, "As long as you like them."
He promised to write two songs for Chen Fei'er. After he finished it the day before yesterday, he directly sent the music score and sample to the latter.
Therefore, there was today's meeting schedule.
"Do you know?"
The eyes of the Queen of Sweet Song flashed with a moving look: "I've listened to both songs dozens of times and tried to sing them more than a dozen times. The more I sing them, the better I feel. I've decided that they will be the first and second main songs of my new album!"
For any songwriter, it is undoubtedly a great honor and glory for their work to become the main song of an album by a Queen. 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 song of Chen Fei'er's album are the top songwriters in the circle.
In addition, for a Queen of Heaven like Chen Fei'er, releasing an album is a very cautious and even grand matter. The choice of the main song must be the best of the best, which takes a long time and a lot of energy to determine.
The two songs written by Lu Chen have only been in Chen Fei'er's hands for a day or two, and she has decided to make them the first and second main songs of the new album. In addition to her great trust in Lu Chen, she also really likes these two songs.
In particular, Chen Fei'er is now facing the juncture of transformation. She has great expectations for this new album. It's 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 and said, "I feel so much pressure."
Chen Fei'er smiled and said, "I believe in your strength. My album will be built around your two works. Let's visit my studio first, and then we'll go to Flying Stone Records together."
Chen Fei'er and Flying Stone Records have always maintained a very good cooperative relationship. Most of her albums were produced by Flying Stone Records, and this new album was no exception.
Chen Fei'er invited Lu Chen to Flying Stone Records today to determine the main song of the album. In addition, there are issues of arrangement and the overall style of the album to be discussed.
As a songwriter, Chen Fei'er hopes that Lu Chen will participate in it and give advice for her new album!
For Lu Chen, being able to intervene in the production of a Queen of Heaven's new album and include his name in the song list is also an excellent opportunity to improve his reputation and career.
Therefore, for the two songs, Lu Chen only asked Chen Fei'er for a friendship price — 500,000.
Of course, Chen Fei'er doesn't care about hundreds of thousands. Not to mention two or three hundred thousand for a song, even if it's one million, she can afford it. But this represents the good friendship and contractual relationship established between the two sides.
