The four little queens in the popular music scene in Hong Kong and Taiwan refer to the four most popular female singers in Hong Kong and Taiwan around 2000. They had considerable influence and popularity in the Chinese music scene at that time.
However, unlike the four great kings, this four little queen has not received much recognition in the mainland market. Although most of the post-80s and post-90s are not unfamiliar with them, in terms of status and popularity, after the official rise of domestic entertainment in 2008, it has gradually retreated to the second line, so many post-95s and post-00s are now very unfamiliar with them.
Creation Camp is now in this situation. Mika Nakajima is a popular queen of Japanese and Korean pop music. Any music album can sell millions of sales in Japan alone. It has even had brilliant results in diamond records (10 million copies) around the world. It is considered the top popular queen in the entire Asia-Pacific market.
Masami Nagasawa is a national treasure-level artist in the Japanese entertainment industry. She has starred in many Japanese movies and some Hollywood movies. She is the leader of the Japanese 85 flowers. Her status in the Japanese entertainment industry is similar to that of Liu Yifei.
Not to mention Taylor Swift, it is almost the ceiling in today's pop music scene. It is controversial to say that it is the world's number one, and it is the top three in the world that is currently working, and it is almost no one who will stand up to refute it. Anyway, I don't know at all and have not heard of it.
So an interesting scene happened. Sun Yànzi, an unpopular singer who was originally just used as a joke, has become an unpopular singer now. There are almost not many people who want to find her to form a team. There are not even many trainees who have picked her up in the past, and they basically went to pick up Taylor Swift and Liu Yifei.
Sun Yàn was born in Singapore on July 23, 1978. In 2000, he released his first solo album of the same name. At the same time, the media called him the Four Little Queens (the earliest version) together with Jolin Tsai, Elva Hsiao and Zhou Hui.
In his first year of debut, Sun Yànzi won a total of 15 newcomer awards from all over Asia. It is still a record in the Chinese music scene. In 2002, it set a unique Sun Yànzi phenomenon in the Chinese music market, and was unprecedentedly popular with young fans.
Sun Yàn has won almost important awards throughout Asia, including the Best Mandarin Female Singer at the 16th Taiwan Golden Melody Awards in 2005, and won the Top 10 Sales Mandarin Record Awards in Hong Kong for 7 consecutive years.
So far, Sun Yàn has released 12 Chinese studio albums, with a total sales of more than 25 million records in Asia, making him one of the most influential and indicative female singers in the Chinese music scene.
But such a great pop queen started to reduce production significantly after entering 2008. After not releasing films due to the change of environment, she began to become a little out of date in just a few years and became an unpopular singer in the minds of many post-95s and 2000s. She had to sigh at the rapid development of the entertainment industry.
In the past, Wu Mingxuan really didn’t understand the aesthetics of those born in the 1995s and 2000s. Now, after a deep understanding, he can only say that different eras have different tastes. He cannot use the previous standards to measure the current standards. The times are really different.
Sun Yàn herself is very happy about her cold treatment when she entered the creation camp. The Chinese music scene has been in decline for a long time. The last time she was still a brilliant solo album, "It's Time", which is a well-produced return work. The market response is also good, but the final sales volume is less than 300,000 copies in Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan, Canada and mainland China.
Since then, whether it is Sun Yànzi, the agency behind her, and many other musicians who make music, they have already felt that the trend of the Chinese music scene is hopeless. After that, there will be basically few people who release albums, and the only source of income is to hold concerts on the show.
It’s not that everyone doesn’t want to try film and television dramas, but few people can successfully transform from singers to actors, especially after the rise of domestic entertainment, there is no room for Hong Kong and Taiwan singers like them.
If it weren't for Vivian and Wu Mingxuan's high-profile entry to the Chinese music scene and planning to revive the Chinese music scene, Sun Yàn might not have agreed. She is not very old now. If the Chinese music scene can really regain its glory, she still wants to release a new solo album and return to the peak.
Unlike the second round of performances, this time the performance was participated by professional singers. Taylor Swift mainly appeals in concerts, while Sun Yànzi and Mika Nakajima are appeals in digital albums and the mainland market.
After reaching a certain level, celebrities and singers represent not only them, but also many teams that rely on them to survive, even agency record companies. Therefore, how to achieve a mutually beneficial long-term cooperation is also the main task of Wu Mingxuan and Rocket Entertainment.
Li Hong is basically responsible for Rocket Entertainment, so now Li Hong is receiving Sun Yànzi and the others, showing them Rocket Music, a digital album feature that has not been officially released and is still in the testing stage.
Digital albums have actually been available very early. The most successful ones at present are Apple's iTunes. Many large streaming media platforms in China that have started to make music paid members are also doing it, but none of them have been able to form an effective monetization channel, so many powerful singers are still waiting and watching for the time being.
This app will be released and downloaded on time at 8 am on the night of the finals. At the same time, it will directly launch the live broadcast and voting activities of that night. It will also launch the concert digital album for the finals night, and it will be launched for free.
Currently, the CD price of a pure music album is around 50 yuan, the MV album is 70 yuan, and the Blu-ray is about 120 yuan, but for the producers and singers, they can actually get only about 20 yuan, and most of the remaining ones are production costs and various expenses in the distribution channel.
The biggest benefit of our model is that there is no intermediate production cost, nor does it have distributors and physical stores at all levels. It is directly targeted at all users and can directly reduce the price to benefit fans.
If your new album is released on our platform, you can directly make an MV album for 20 yuan, and our platform only needs a commission of 5 yuan.
In other words, if the sales volume successfully exceeds one million, it will be 15 million revenue. If it reaches 5 million diamond sales (the mainland market), it will be 75 million revenue. Compared with the 200 million potential users we estimate, this sales volume is not too much. As long as your new album is of reliable quality, it will not be difficult to achieve.
