Chapter 194: "Fairy Tale" Wants to Break the Record?
To be sure, there is not much divergence and difference between the two worlds in terms of aesthetics when it comes to music.
And the music of the genre "Fairy Tale" has also been very popular in Azure Star in recent years.
Therefore, Du Caige judged that "Fairy Tale" could become an instant hit, and word of mouth continued to ferment.
And if "Fairy Tale" can reach 1 million sales in the first week, or even 1 million downloads, such a record-breaking momentum will set off a wave to a large extent - the grand occasion of playing "Too Soft Heart" together on the streets and alleys on the earth is likely to reappear in Azure Star.
If Jiang Youxi's remaining 3 songs are released immediately at this time, it will play a good role in stabilizing his popularity, and expand his work library to leave a deep impression on fans.
Under such operation, it is not impossible for Jiang Youxi to jump from an unknown newcomer to a second-tier top singer in one fell swoop.
Consolidate this position for a period of time, release a few good songs in the next few years, and then continue to brush your face through variety shows, TV series, etc., Jiang Youxi definitely has a chance to become a first-line artist.
Don't think that A-list artists seem simple.
The real front line, there are only about a dozen in the country.
It's not that you claim to be on the line, it's really the line.
First-line artists must have first-class works, have very rich resources, and have millions of likes and retweets on any Weibo such as "I'm so tired today", and they must have their own topicality and first-class ability to attract money.
However, none of these criteria are specific enough.
If you have to use data to speak, then look at one indicator: there are several endorsements from internationally renowned brands.
With the endorsement of 3 or more internationally renowned brands, you can be called a first-line artist.
With the endorsement of 1-3 internationally renowned brands, you can be regarded as the top among second-tier artists.
This is also the height that Du Caige hopes Jiang Youxi can reach with the help of "Fairy Tale".
Tang Yezhi's majestic voice let out a low chuckle, and he was extremely proud: "Don't worry, although our company only has one first-line artist, and there are not many second-tier artists, we are not idiots, so naturally we will not miss such a good opportunity." ”
After a pause, he added, "I heard that you have a conflict with that dog?" Do you want me to fix him for you?" ”
"Repair your sister, I have a good relationship with Xiao Jiang, but I feel that his attitude towards work is not rigorous enough, so I don't want to cooperate with him anymore. ”
"Why did you become so picky?"
Du Caige ignored him, and asked: "You have a formula, at this time, there are 18,000 downloads on the Philharmonic, can you estimate the number of downloads in the first week?"
"There must be, don't be scared when I say it. ”
"If there's a fart, let it go. ”
"It is expected that the number of downloads in the first week will be between 550,000 and 1.2 million, and the sales volume may be 1.2-1.7 times the number of downloads. ”
Du Caige was silent for a moment and said, "Hang up, I'm going to be busy." ”
"Scared? ahaha, you're really scared!" Tang Yezhi had a villainous face, "Don't hang it, let's talk about it again." ”
Du Caige said angrily: "Talk about your sister." !"
"Okay, I'll allow you to step back, you go hide and have fun. Hehe, immediately after the comeback, I helped a rookie singer break the record, I can understand how excited you are on the day of the dog......"
Tang Yezhi was still chattering, and Du Caige hung up the phone directly.
"What's so exciting," he said to himself, "if my film wins the box office in its first week, then it's worth getting excited." ”
Although he made 3 small-budget and high-return movies, and entered the 1 billion club before he was 30 years old, he really didn't win the box office weekly championship, which has to be said to be a pity.
But this regret has a chance to make up for it in Azure Star.
In the afternoon, Du Caige continued to carry.
At present, "Ghost Blows the Lantern" has sent nearly 100,000 words, and the collection has reached a frightening number - 1.22 million.
Last time, so many big stars in the music industry advertised Du Caige, and the effect was quite significant.
After reaching 870,000 collections on April 29, "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" exceeded one million collections in just one day, but the growth rate of collections has slowed down significantly since then.
The collection of "Zhu Xian" has reached 1.43 million, and the subscription ratio has not returned to the highest point, with an average subscription of more than 230,000 points, and there is still room for growth. It is estimated that it will eventually return to a 4:1 or even a 3.5-to-1 subscription ratio.
After all, it's not easy to see piracy in Azure Star, at least you have to go over the wall.
"The Old Man and the Sea" has a collection of 390,000 yuan, which is the highest collection of short and medium stories.
Regarding "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", Du Caige has communicated with Yuan Yuan and Zhongyi, and plans to release the book on May 15, a month after it was released.
At present, such a high collection has been a little unmoving, and it is just right to put it on the shelf.
Although the number of words in the free chapters of the public is a bit small, the word count of such a popular book is money, and the founding Chinese network is reluctant to let Du Caige send more free parts.
Du Caige has already finished carrying part of "Kunlun Divine Palace".
At present, it has not been decided whether to write "Angry Eyes Xiangxi".
For the time being, he is focusing on carrying "Fairy Sword".
When talking to someone from Sprout Publishing House yesterday, he also mentioned that he was writing a new work of Xianxia, and told the other party the synopsis of the story of Xian 1.
The other party immediately gave him a very tempting proposal: the physical publication of "Fairy Sword" and the online serialization will be carried out simultaneously, and according to the sales of "Zhu Xian", the royalty share will be appropriately increased to him.
If "Zhu Xian" is a hot seller, it is just time to advertise "Fairy Sword", "The new work of the author of "Zhu Xian" comes out, taking you to appreciate the scenery of "Fairy Sword", which can also drive the sales of "Fairy Sword".
At that time, the two Xianxia books can be bundled.
"Ghost Blowing the Lamp" should be pinched in your hand as a trump card, not easy to play.
If the sales of "Fairy Sword" are not satisfactory, you can also rely on "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" to save the situation at that time.
Du Caige thought this proposal was very good, and he said that he would seriously consider it.
When it was time to eat, Liu Zifei called and said that she wanted to send "The Depths of a Hundred Flowers" over.
She came in a friend's car, delivered the video, sat for a while, and then said goodbye.
"Let's have a meal together so early. ”
"I still have an appointment, next time. Brother Du, you have a lot of work next, so I'll leave it to you, and I'll invite you to dinner when it's all done. In addition, please be busy before and after, but there is no remuneration for you, I am really sorry not to go, and I will compensate you when I am financially independent in the future. Liu Zifei smiled indifferently.
She didn't apply powder today, her face was plain, and her beautiful face was a little tired, but she was in good spirits.
Du Caige found that after filming "Time" and "The Depths of a Hundred Flowers", the smile on the corner of Liu Zifei's mouth was obviously much more confident, and her aura was stronger.
In the past, her soft and weak appearance matched her long hair better, and she felt like a bird.
Now the change in temperament, with her short hair, makes people feel great, more and more like an independent and self-reliant woman.
Being a director is really exercised.
Du Caige hesitated for a while, didn't force him to stay, but asked when he sent her downstairs, "Can you still hold up in terms of money now?" Before filming "Time" and "Deep Flowers", you should have spent all your savings. ”
Liu Zifei smiled calmly: "Brother Du, you think so highly of me, how can I have so much savings? It's my parents who originally prepared a house for me to use as a wedding room......
Du Caige was shocked: "You won't sell the house, will you?"
Liu Zifei covered her mouth and smiled and bent over: "Brother Du, don't be funny, a house in the magic capital is several million, and it's enough to make a big movie, just make two short films, as for it?"
After a pause, she explained: "I rented out, long-term rental, let the other party settle the rent for five years at one time, and then put a relatively large discount, and the other party is willing to accept it, after all, the price of the housing market has been rising." In this way, I suffered a loss, but I was able to get close to 200,000 yuan at one time to make short films, and it was okay. ”
Du Caige quickly calculated: "You also used a lot to shoot "Time" before, and now that you have finished the special effects, then there should be nothing left in this money." What are you going to do next, where are you going to live, where are you going to eat, are you going to go home?"
Liu Zifei straightened her sassy short hair, and her expression was calm: "My parents haven't forgiven me yet, and I can't go back for a while." I agreed with a friend that I recently borrowed to live with her, and the two of us ate AA, and I bought my own vegetables and cooked my own food. Well, it's a female friend, you don't have to worry. ”
Is that what I'm worried about? I'm worried about you starving yourself......
Du Caige opened his mouth and wanted to say, "I still have an empty room", but he felt that it was inappropriate and fell silent.
"Okay, don't worry about me," Liu Zifei said with a smile, "Brother Du, go back, don't send it." ”
Du Caige thought about it and quickly had an idea, although it was not a very good idea.
After hesitating for a moment, he said, "I know, your goal now is to be a good director." But until you can actually direct, I don't think you mind doing odd jobs, right?"
Liu Zifei glanced at him in surprise and smiled: "Well, I resigned from the TV station, I just don't want to be taken up too much time by work, don't affect me to take over the show." And then I will spend most of my time running various crews and studying, and I don't have time to do a serious job. But...... If I have a good temporary job and have more free time, I can also try it. Brother Du is going to introduce me to one?"
Du Caige nodded: "It won't take up too much of your time, and the income is not low." ”
"Is there such a good thing?" Liu Zifei covered her mouth and smiled, "Don't create a position specifically for me." ”
"How could I be, I'm not that bored. That's right," Du Caige had already sorted out his thoughts and said calmly, "I promised my godfather to write a few ancient songs to promote classical music and traditional culture." ”
Liu Zifei's beautiful big eyes blinked, her long eyelashes fanned like a small brush, and she listened carefully. "What does this have to do with me?" she said, puzzled.
"Listen to me. I've actually written the song, but if you want to promote the song, in fact, if you can have the right MV matching, the communication will be better and it will be more impressive, right?"
