The sales of the first digital album broke the record, and Chris Lee still stood firm.

　　Chris Lee has been in the public eye for eleven years since the hot summer of the draft, and the voice of doubt and even ridicule has gradually dissipated, and people have seen Chris Lee, who is constantly changing and maturing in music. Yesterday, Chris Lee’s digital album "Wild Growth" made a brilliant achievement. By the end of last year, the total sales of four digital albums in the series of "Wild Growth" had reached 6.5 million on the exclusive QQ music platform, and the total sales had reached more than 32 million yuan. In the great transformation of the traditional music industry from physical records to digital albums, Chris Lee is still at the forefront of many singers.

　　Many changes in Chris Lee are amazing. At yesterday’s celebration conference, she appeared in a white dress, which was both attractive and feminine. At the New Year’s Concert of Jiangsu Satellite TV a few days ago, Chris Lee came out at the finale and sang "Simon Boy" passionately with the partner of the Hundred-member Dance Company, which made people remember it for a long time. Even when interviewed by the media, Chris Lee is no longer a person who cherishes words like gold. In a 40-minute interview, she generously shared her thoughts on music, attitude towards life and analysis of herself with the Beijing Evening News reporter.

　　From the packaged singer

　　To musicians with ideas

　　"Wild Growth" is the first work after the establishment of Chris Lee Studio, and it is the first time to try to sell it all through the digital platform. Since May last year, the album has been split into four EPs, Wild, Man, Sheng and Long, which have been released one after another, constantly refreshing the sales record of QQ music digital albums. In addition to the sales figures of more than 6 million, "Wild Growth" has also been well received by 100 music critics from all over the country. "Pioneer Leading", "Fashion Diversification" and "Breakthrough Growth" have become the three core keywords mentioned the most, while "Simon Boy", "Existence" and "Savage Growth" are the three most discussed songs.

　　"I have seen many music critics give keywords, and I will also ask me in my heart, what keywords do I give myself?" Chris Lee said that other people’s evaluations are all from an external perspective, while she is more from her own inner examination. Her summary is two words — — Feeling.

　　"When I first debuted, I didn’t understand this industry. I was more of a performer. The company helped me choose songs and package them. I didn’t have any ideas, just observing. In 2008, young chinese began, and I tried to plan something. In 2009, I began to write some songs by myself, and the most impressive one was See you at the next intersection. The first time I tried to write a song, I was recognized, which was the happiest for a musician. I remember every detail very clearly, which encouraged me to continue to do it and start thinking about what each work wants to convey. I won’t think like this before that. " Chris Lee said.

　　Since then, Chris Lee’s concept of his own music has gradually become clear, and the subsequent "literary trilogy" has formed Chris Lee’s strong personal style, but she said that there are some satisfactory places and some unsatisfactory places, but "these are all very valuable processes for me to accumulate experience." She recalled that when she was making an album, she had a very obvious feeling that there must be a difference between her pre-conceived music concept and the final effect, and some of them did not reach that tension in music. Every time she is dissatisfied, she is urged to redouble her efforts in her next work.

　　Since the establishment of the studio, Chris Lee has a clearer goal in her career. She described her team as very compatible with herself. "They are all those who are not afraid of many things and big things." Chris Lee told reporters bluntly that his current state is to break through the so-called comfort zone, not to lie on the existing achievements and enjoy comfort, but to challenge himself and make new attempts. "Now many songs are just a string, a piano and a lyric song, but everyone feels comfortable, but there are too many such songs. Why do you want to make such songs? That’s why we created the song fig, which is so unlike pop music. "

　　I began to think about the cultural background in my music.

　　The achievements of Wild Growth on the digital platform surprised Chris Lee himself. She said that it was her first time to try a digital album, and she didn’t know what it would be like at first, and everything was still being explored. However, to her delight, the 11 years since her debut is also a period of rapid changes in China’s music industry. With the development trend of legalization and digitalization, practitioners have become more and more optimistic about the industry. "I can feel the signs of recovery in the whole industry. In fact, I watch and listen to different music platforms every day. I will also buy digital albums. Last year, I bought an album by Rihanna, and I also bought an album by Li Zhi on Netease Cloud. " She also attended some music festivals last year. "Some fans don’t agree with me to attend the music festival, but I said, why not? When I graduated from the Conservatory of Music, my teacher said that you should stand at the music festival. I like that stage very much. "

　　In the new music stage, Chris Lee also began to think about his own music. She admits that she, as a regular student in the Conservatory of Music, has learned more about western music. However, in recent years, she has increasingly felt that good musicians should have their own music labels and cultural attributes, and she began to pay more attention to the oriental cultural background in her works. "I think there are two kinds of blood in my body. I have been thinking about the direction of music. Although we have cooperated with foreign musicians, I have never given up looking for some Chinese musicians and producers." Chris Lee told the Beijing Evening News reporter that cultural integration was something he had never thought of before, but he felt it more and more strongly in the past year.

　　As far as Wild Growth is concerned, Chris Lee also found many interesting phenomena. For example, the album "Simon Boy", which is very popular among fans, is composed by Chris Lee herself, and the lyrics keep repeating "I want to be like the original Simon boy, running hard without fear of bloodshed and rumors", which is regarded as a self-report of her 11-year growth process. She revealed that she didn’t want to take this song as the first title song at first, because she always felt that a self-described song was not musically worse. But when she listened to many people, she got unexpected praise, and finally the feedback from fans and music critics was good. This made her think: "What I wrote may not be so perfect, but I just have my own DNA."

　　Bufa friends circle

　　Poor sharing is more willing to precipitate.

　　The past year of 2016 is both a harvest year and a busy year for Chris Lee. Although her work is still very full, in her opinion, she is clearer than before. "If I think back to ten years ago, I don’t know what I did. I may be too busy. When I debuted, no one guided me. My mind was full of question marks. In fact, I don’t remember what I was busy with. Now I will plan my work and life well. Although I am very busy, I will also arrange time to travel, broaden my horizons, go to exhibitions and get together with friends. " In addition to albums, Chris Lee also took her tour to various places in the past year. She enjoyed the feeling of being on the stage, and thought that the greatest significance of this round of tour was to strengthen her stability on the stage: "Many times people think that Chris Lee is very domineering on the stage, but those are actually subtle differences. But when I was at the New Year’s concert, I knew that my heart was very stable. I am very fortunate that this is what I can feel myself. "

　　Although he is domineering on the stage, Chris Lee said that he is a quiet person in private, an introverted person, who is not very good at actively sharing his ideas, and prefers to precipitate them and gradually turn them into a part of his works. "Like" Wild Growth ",at first my cognition was different today, but it took time. If it was expressed at that moment, there might not be anything behind it." Chris Lee doesn’t use Weibo, and doesn’t send WeChat friends. He just likes to read what his friends send and make fun of it occasionally. Except in concerts and some activities, Chris Lee rarely has direct communication with fans, but fans also understand her very well, because this is part of her personality.

　　But when it comes to fans, Chris Lee took the initiative to talk to the Beijing Evening News reporter about two details. One is that she endorsed a coffee advertisement last year, and then saw a fan holding a cup of coffee to toast herself in the advertisement. One is that once she sat in the car and went to the concert site, she suddenly saw a fan walking in the direction of the venue with a light sign with the word "Spring". "These make me feel inexplicably sour when I see them, but ten years ago I would only be silly and happy. This may be some of my changes."
