The first girl group in the country was established in 2000.
After more than ten years of development, there were currently more than 20 girl groups active in the entertainment industry. Of course, only those with a little fame and strength were counted, and those teams formed by a few newcomers were not included.
Although the domestic entertainment industry was developing rapidly and the market cake was getting bigger and bigger, the more so, the fiercer the competition, especially in the field where the market positioning was very clear, it had long become a red sea.
A girl group had at least three to five members, and as many as dozens. For entertainment record companies, the resources and effort it took to make a girl group popular were undoubtedly far more than that of a single singer.
Flying Stone Records made a heavy bet on MSN in order to bite off a big piece of cake in this market.
Unlike most girl groups, especially those in Japan and South Korea, in the industry's view, the timing of Flying Stone Records' launch of MSN was not very suitable. They rushed into battle without full preparation and seemed too eager for success.
Like the girl groups in South Korea, most of the members were carefully selected from the trainees of the brokerage company. They studied hard for several years and had a very solid basic skills.
Even so, they may not be recognized by the market, and the elimination rate was very high.
Among the members of MSN, Su Jiajia was still normal. She was originally a trainee, and there was no problem with her foundation.
Ning Tian graduated from the Academy of Music, but after all, what she learned was different.
As for Mu Xiaochu, he was even worse. He was a student of Beijing Institute of Foreign Languages, and only gained a little fame through "Singing China", and the others were not worth mentioning.
Such a team should have needed at least a year and a half to be qualified to appear.
But Flying Stone Records violated this rule. MSN had just been established and released its debut album, and spent a lot of money to package and publicize it, and it was also a great success.
Therefore, many of the peers who were invited to support them came to enjoy the performance of the three beautiful girls on the stage with a mentality of envy, jealousy and hatred.
It was undeniable that after the promotional tour all over the country some time ago, the three girls had been trained. Their accompanying dancers' singing couldn't be said to be perfect, but at least it was pleasing to the ear!
The cheers of the fans sitting in the banquet hall could almost overturn the ceiling.
At this platinum celebration meeting, Flying Stone Records generously invited 280 members of the MSN support group, that is, real iron rice fans, to participate. Many members from other places even reimbursed their travel and accommodation expenses.
It was worth mentioning that the other 70 participants were given to Lu Chen's fan club – Lu Jiajun.
The reason was very simple. Since Lu Chen and MSN started to cooperate, Lu Jiajun had established a good relationship with the MSN support group. Lu Jiajun had long regarded Mu Xiaochu as Lu Chen's sister and affectionately called her Little Sister Xiaochu.
With this relationship, coupled with a natural love for beautiful girls, Lu Jiajun contributed to a high proportion of MSN's album sales.
If [Platinum Record] is a bright medal, then Lu Jiajun's contribution is indispensable!
And for this, Flying Stone Records was not only happy to see it, but even vigorously promoted it. If it weren't for the limited reception capacity of the banquet hall of the Regent Hotel, the number of places would definitely be increased a lot.
After the first song "Not Yet Lovers" was sung, Ning Tian asked with a smile, "Thank you, everyone. So which song do you want to listen to next?"
In MSN, Ning Tian was the oldest. She was 20 years old and came from the Northern Conservatory of Music. She could be regarded as a real professional background.
She had the best figure and was the most beautiful. She had been determined to be the captain of MSN. Fans liked her eyes the most. When she smiled, it seemed to speak, which made people involuntarily attracted.
As soon as Ning Tian's voice fell, a fan immediately shouted, "Love!"
"He still doesn't understand!"
Apart from "Not Yet Lovers", there were basically only these two songs. There were almost no people who shouted about other songs in the album.
And this also reminded those colleagues present once again that all three songs were created by Lu Chen!
Many people looked at Lu Chen, who was sitting at the front, at the same time. Their eyes were very complicated.
Although some people attributed the explosive sales of MSN's debut album "Not Yet Lovers" to the packaging hype of Flying Stone Records at all costs, and even said that the sales results were falsified and belonged to false prosperity, which would be exposed sooner or later.
But for people in the industry who really understand the industry, this kind of sour grapes mentality was not worth mentioning. Flying Stone Records had indeed invested a lot, but without the three good songs tailored for MSN by Lu Chen, it would have been impossible to have such excellent results.
Lu Chen's creative talent was beyond doubt!
What people wondered was how far he could go on the road of originality. After all, in the past history of pop music, there were many examples of a sudden outbreak and then a quick silence.
Exhaustion of inspiration, complacency, no desire to make progress, living on past achievements …
Not many singers can maintain a long-term and vigorous creative state, and the same was true for professional writers.
Many songwriters, after creating one or a few good songs, basically faded into the crowd. There was no more flash of inspiration, and they relied on their past reputation and basic skills to get by.
Lu Chen should be different from them, but after a detailed analysis of Lu Chen's works in the past six months, everyone was surprised to find that his creative desire was strong and his inspiration was rich, which had reached an incredible level.
It was no exaggeration to say that Lu Chen was the most outstanding singer and songwriter in the domestic pop music world in the past decade!
Even if his debut time was still very short, his accumulation in the circle was not enough, and there was a big gap between him and the real big stars, but in terms of creative talent alone, there were really not many people who could compare with him.
One song "In The Spring", one "You Who Sat Next To Me", and one "Not Yet Lovers" were the flags that Lu Chen had inserted in the pop music world, fluttering in the wind, making everyone look at him!
And he was currently involved in the production of Chen Fei 'er's new album, the transformation of the Heavenly Queen.
Once Chen Fei 'er's album was successful, then Lu Chen's position in the circle would be unshakable.
Everyone envied Lu Chen's talent. They were jealous of the cooperative relationship between Flying Stone Records and him. They hated why they didn't make a move earlier, otherwise, there might be a girl group similar to MSN under his banner.
There were performers who came to the celebration party. It was said that the commercial performance price offered to MSN was more than 300,000!
Flying Stone Records actually had no intention of agreeing, and it was estimated that the price would rise again.
This sour feeling almost made people's teeth fall off from the sourness.
There were also some quick-witted people who thought that they should find an opportunity to talk to Lu Chen later.
Lu Chen didn't sign up with any entertainment agency. He opened his own studio. As long as he paid enough price, even if he couldn't get the same treatment as Flying Stone Records, it would be no problem to buy a good song, right?
Unknowingly, Lu Chen's reputation has been built.
On the stage, Ning Tian waited for the fans to finish shouting before she said with a smile, "Since everyone likes" Where's Love "and" He Still Doesn't Understand ", shall we sing both songs?"
This time, the fans were all satisfied: "Good!"
In fact, she didn't need to say it. These songs were also going to be sung, but Ning Tian had other ideas: "Everyone knows that your favorite songs were written by Big Lu Chen, so in the following song, he will accompany us. What do you think?"
"Good!"
The fans were simply boiling. They shouted Lu Chen's name: "Lu Chen Big!"
In local dialects, "Da Da" had different meanings such as "Big Brother", "Dad", "Uncle", and so on. However, the popular "Da Da" on the internet was generally used to refer to an expert, a great person, or a great person. It was used to express unparalleled respect and worship for someone.
Ning Tian called Lu Chen "Big" instead of "Teacher". On the one hand, it was to express this reverence and worship, on the other hand, it was to get close to the fans.
The fans who came to this celebration, whether it was the MSN support group or Lu Jiajun, were basically young people. They happened to be the main force of netizens, so they felt particularly cordial when they heard this title.
It was hard to refuse the so-called hospitality. Lu Chen had to stand up and wave to everyone.
Ning Tian took two steps forward and stood on the edge of the stage. With a charming smile on her pretty face, she leaned over and reached out to Lu Chen.
This was an invitation gesture.
Fortunately, MSN took the route of youth and purity, not sexy and charming. Ning Tian's dress was very conservative. Otherwise, this would be a great show of spring, which would be a feast for everyone's eyes.
The fans laughed, shouted, and applauded one after another.
Lu Chen couldn't help laughing, and didn't refuse to hold Ning Tian's little hand.
The stage of the banquet hall was not high. With his skill, he was easily "pulled" up by this beautiful girl.
At this time, the staff pushed out the piano that had been prepared.
A beautiful white grand piano.
Lu Chen took the microphone and said to everyone, "I'm very happy to be able to attend MSN's Platinum Celebration tonight. I've met so many friends. Well, the food is also very delicious."
Everyone laughed.
Lu Chen continued: "And what makes me happiest is that MSN has won the success they deserve, because in the process of cooperation, I saw how hard they worked and serious!"
"I've seen Ning Tian sing until 12 o 'clock in the evening in order to practice singing …"
"I've seen Mu Xiaochu. Sister Xiaochu practiced dancing, and the soles of her feet were rubbed with blood blisters, but she still gritted her teeth and persisted …"
"And Su Jiajia …"
The banquet hall became very quiet. Whether it was the senior management of Flying Stone Records or the invited peers, whether it was MSN's support group or Lu Jiajun fans, they all listened carefully to Lu Chen tell the story he knew.
Really a story.
It was precisely because of the lack of foundation that in the production process of "Not Yet Lovers", the three girls really put in a lot of effort. Sweating and crying were commonplace, and injuries during the practice process were common.
Not only Lin Zhijie, but Lu Chen was also very strict with them.
But the three delicate girls all persisted and did not delay the scheduled release time of the album.
When others saw the success of "Not Yet Lovers", they either said that it was because of the support of Flying Stone Records, or that Lu Chen wrote a good impression for them, or that it was easy for them to attract fans because they were young and beautiful.
Only no one mentioned the efforts they had made.
So at this moment, what Lu Chen wanted to tell everyone was that their success was not a fluke!
