Chapter 635

From seven media reviews to 29 professional reviews, Don Quixote, an unknown album, is almost the same, if not a household name, after the "Tonight Show".

Such an ugly duckling's miracle, in Hollywood, which entertains to death, can be said more or less. The problem is that the ugly duckling suddenly stepped on the stage, under the attention of all people, not every ugly duckling can transform into a swan, but more of them died because of too much attention.

Fortunately, this time, Don Quixote successfully completed the transformation! Twenty nine professional reviews, with an average score of 92, have undoubtedly become one of the top ten albums with the highest score since the millennium!

As a reference, Nora Jones released the album "fly away" in 2002. At that time, this independent album was also unknown. If it wasn't for the excavation of Grammy, it might have been submerged in the market. At that time, only 16 media commented, and the final average score was 88.

Now, "Don Quixote" is considered to be the same level or even better than "far away". At the same time, it is also considered to be one of the best albums in the 21st century!

Not only that, the name of "Langley hall" has become hot again!

In the entertainment industry, there are countless cross-border artists, not to mention singers and actors, and there are many comprehensive artists involved in the industries of director, producer, screenwriter, model, photography, painting, design and so on.

Although people value expertise, it is extremely difficult to reach the peak in a field; But people always like to see artists who still perform brilliantly after crossover, just like Oscar always favors directors who "perform well and direct well", such as Clint Eastwood, Mel Gibson, Kevin Costner and so on.

This time, it's Raleigh's turn.

He is not only an excellent actor, but also an excellent singer, as well as an excellent songwriter. It's not the kind of cross-border ticket playing, nor the Disney idol's free will, but the excellent real material“ The praise of Don Quixote is no less than that of "crazy love" and "buried alive", even more crazy.

Incredible, absolutely incredible!

Such a grand occasion suddenly made all media sensational! The hustle and bustle of attention, like homing bees, swarmed from every corner of the world.

It is worth mentioning that two months ago, a new rapper named Kendrick Lamar released his first personal studio album "section. 80".

Like Don Quixote, this album has hardly been noticed by the media, but it has been wildly sought after by the hip-hop industry. Several heavyweights have chosen Kendrick as the new rap king on the west coast; Only nine media gave the score, and the average score of this album is temporarily at 90, which is also considered as the best hip-hop album after the millennium.

Both of them are nameless singers, two of them are high-profile albums, two of them are budding newcomers, two of them are drowning works, one is hip-hop, the other is folk songs, but "district 80" is still unknown, and "Don Quixote" is born. The different development of destiny has no influence on the cheers and shouts of independent music media: is the music market, which has been silent for many years, really going to return to the dawn?

It's not the recovery of sales, it's not the prosperity of the market, it's the return of music. For music critics, this is the best gift. As for the rise and fall of the market and the rise and fall of the industry, they are involved in the tide of the times. Even if they want to help, they are not strong enough. So, they won't be greedy.

From this point of view, these critics are actually the same kind of people as George strand. Harsh, tricky, strict, sharp, spicy, not easy to serve, in the final analysis, or from the heart of love - and waiting to feed the stomach.

Who would have thought that "crazy love" led to the attention of "no doubt" at the end of the film, and the curiosity of "Tonight Show" led to "Don Quixote", which finally made this album of Langley appear in front of the public. This way of debut is really unique. However, with 92% excellent comments and no positive feedback from negative and neutral comments, "Don Quixote" has quietly become an album that can not be ignored in 2011.

On August 29, "Don Quixote" was officially put on the shelves. Six weeks later, the album never really attracted the attention of the market. The sales volume was tepid and even bleak. The first week's sales volume was 2000, and the next week's sales volume was 4000. After that, the average weekly sales volume was about 3000, So far, the sales volume has barely exceeded 20000.

As George strand and Randy hall expected, this is a "not for sale" album! In the long run, it is certain that we will lose money. The question is, how much will we lose?

However, in this gloomy situation, George, Neil, Stanley and others have never given up hope and are still tirelessly supporting Don Quixote. Strictly speaking, for this group of music enthusiasts, the release of the album is already a victory. What else do they need?

What's more, it's not all bad news“ After the "Pioneer Village night" was uploaded in the pipeline, the spread speed began to spread with a slow but firm rhythm, especially the fans who attended the scene on that day spared no effort to publicize it. Thanks to this, the weekly sales volume of Don Quixote has been maintained at around 3000, without any improvement or decline. Its performance is stable, just like the frozen lake Baikal——

There are no waves, no ripples, no waves, even no movement on the thick ice; But under the ice, the surging undercurrent is waiting for the ice breaking day. The slowly increasing supporters are still a very weak group, but they are firm enough, loyal enough and fanatical enough.

Since the first week of September, Don Quixote has been on the billboard album list. He has never made a breakthrough, but he has never been on the list, just like Ophelia, who is still on the list.

Now, the time for fans to wait has finally arrived: after the "Tonight Show" was broadcast, the weekly sales volume of "Don Quixote" has reached 16000 copies in just one week. Just like taking a rocket, "whoosh" jumped to the top 50 of the billboard album list, ranking 38th temporarily.

The sales volume of one week is almost comparable to that of the previous six weeks!

This is also a major feature of the Internet Age: trust in the media. The audience's dependence on the media is becoming more and more profound, and the effect of following suit without thinking and following others is becoming more and more obvious. As long as there is enough media publicity, enough public exposure, and enough topic effect, we can basically ensure a certain sales volume, such as the box office of the movie's premiere weekend, such as the weekly sales volume of the album.

The problem with this method is that there are enough publicity means, which need enough cost support, but not enough profits. It's better for small companies to avoid using it, such as studio 11.

"Tonight Show", obviously, is such a means of publicity, not in the 11 studio plan, but produced the same effect. With 16000 sales per week and 38 billboards, Don Quixote is really in the public eye,

However, in the 16000 sales volume, how many are the water army joining in the fun, how many are the onlookers eating melons, and how many are the followers following the upsurge. After these "irrigation" have been drained, how many really like this album? How many people really appreciate this album like George strand and Clyde Kauflin? How many of them understand this album and buy it? How many dreamers are willing to join the Pioneer Village night?

This, I don't know, can only be given to time.

Maybe "Don Quixote" will become another "flying away", and then this opportunity, truly known to the public, can become the key to break the barriers of the popular market; Perhaps, "Quixote" will become another "Eighty zone". After a brief blockbuster, it will disappear again, and the upsurge and bubble will fade away. No one will pay more attention to it, so the album will pile up in the corner and begin to accumulate dust gradually.

Dream, budding, but want to grow into a big tree, it needs more than a "Tonight Show.".

However, "Don Quixote" has won the biggest victory since its release. Not only the ranking of the album has risen, but also the ranking of the single has changed dramatically.

"Cleopatra", a popular folk song single, this week, thanks to the promotion of album sales, once again broke into the top 10 on the list of single music, and will be in the 10th place. You know, this is the 68th week of the release of the single, any language in the face of such achievements are powerless, in addition to shock, or shock!

"Ophelia" also benefited. If the statistics are correct, this is the first time since the release of the single that it has reached the top 50, and it is now the 54th week of the release of the single. Such phenomenal performance has quietly written its own history.

Archimedes once said, "give me a fulcrum and a lever long enough for me to move the earth."

Many people think that this statement is too much to be ashamed of, but later science also proved that Archimedes' hypothesis is feasible, but due to the current technology, there is no way to actually operate it. But now, Don Quixote is proving this theory

"Tonight Show" is the fulcrum, while "Don Quixote" album itself is the lever, and Langley hall is prying the earth. The most absurd, crazy and dreamy conjecture is now coming true.

However, compared with Cleopatra and Ophelia, firmly believe is the biggest winner in this wave of earth crowding action!
