Chapter 143: Record Sales
"How do you feel?" Brother Wang watched Zhou Xiao sit by the window, cross-legged Erlang, holding a cold beer in his hand.
"It's so dreamy, so sudden, overnight, there are so many people who know me," Zhou Xiao became interested, and counted with his fingers: "In the morning, acquaintances from the crew came to me for autographs, ate a bun and met fans, bought clothes and met fans, radio... Hahaha Why do you think it's weird to call, and it's a little hard to tell, whether you really like me, or just join in the fun. ”
"It's normal, after some celebrities become popular, they are blindly optimistic, but you are a little too cautious," Brother Wang took out his mobile phone and handed it over: "You are the fan I met in the afternoon, you can take a look." ”
The blogger's name is Huahua Ai Summer, and she is one of the three girls she met in the bun shop.
"Surprise, I met Zhou Xiao in the Qingfeng bun shop, he and his agent ordered a package of 21 yuan, the real person is so handsome, and very high, as a reference, the girlfriend wearing glasses on the side is one meter seven, after taking pictures and signing the autograph, he also chatted a few words, there is no shelf at all, and he also helped to buy the order quietly, heartwarming!"
"I don't have the wrong person, I envy the luck of the young lady. ”
"Let go of Zhou Xiao, he is my man. ”
"Quietly ask, how does it feel? ”
"Ah, I also asked in Yanjing which store I met again. ”
"Real name envy!"
"The young lady is so blessed, she can meet Zhou Xiao when she eats. ”
"Where is the location, find the coordinates. ”
...
There are hundreds of replies below, and there are thousands of likes.
"I didn't find the fans I met in the mall, maybe I don't play Weibo, to prove whether you are really popular, the easiest way is to watch NetEase. ”
"What do you mean?" Zhou Xiao didn't understand.
"Entertainment news is not available every day, NetEase and Tencent and other portals in the entertainment section, go out to those who spend their own money to buy the layout, will report some trivial things, such as who uploaded a selfie, your chance encounter with fans today was taken out as news, and I'm sure, we didn't buy it.
Moreover, your interaction with fans on the "The Sound of Music" program is also on the hot search, and there are a lot of clicks and replies. ”
"Okay, Brother Wang, don't say it, I'm afraid I'll be proud if I continue. Zhou Xiao peeled a peanut and put it in his mouth, fortunately, there was a snack to eat, so he wouldn't get drunk.
"The popularity will continue to rise in the future, at least for a month, we have to strike while the iron is hot and consolidate your position. ”
"Well, I listen to you. "Zhou Xiao has a good habit that he will not mix unprofessional things blindly.
"You rest, I'll bring the makeup artist over and knock on the door tomorrow morning, don't go to bed too late." ”
"Good night. ”
In fact, the time is less than nine o'clock early, and tomorrow's work is very simple, but not easy, two signing sessions, each with 500 people.
If it was placed ten years ago, there was only one single and there was an autograph session, which would have made people laugh, but now it's different, the singer didn't release a song in advance to maintain exposure, and when he searched for it later, he integrated it together, mainly to establish a connection with fans.
It's said to be a single, but in fact, in addition to the title song "Dispel Sorrow", there are two songs in the CD, "Balloon" and "Poems in Fire", and the photos in them are basically taken incidentally when shooting the MV.
As soon as I drank the beer, Zhou Xiao didn't open it again, I was in a good mood, I had a good meaning, don't really get drunk.
Lying on the bed, I remembered that today was Saturday, and I found Hunan Station with the remote control, and I happened to see myself singing on it, not to mention, I felt very embarrassed.
Occasionally, he stared at the camera affectionately, and suddenly goosebumps and shame burst, Zhou Xiao thought that he was usually a low-key and reserved person, but he felt a little strange on the stage.
Looking at it, I realized that the editing of the program is really important, and the slightly embarrassing plots during filming are not visible at all, and almost all of the whole process is dominated by him, and there are a lot of personal close-ups.
And... You can't see the lens of Du Wave!
I understand, that's what the director said to reassure him.
Zhou Xiao said that he did not take any responsibility for this matter.
Because I slept for a few hours last night, and I was still running outside during the day, and at eleven o'clock, sleepiness hit.
For a good night's sleep, you don't need an alarm clock, and you wake up on time at eight o'clock.
After washing, the doorbell rang, and Brother Wang entered the door with a makeup artist.
"Good news!!
He came up and gave him a big hug!
"Huh?!What's going on?"
"Guess how much 'Sorrow' has sold?"
"Five thousand?"
"Guess again. ”
Zhou Xiao shook his head in confusion, he seemed to remember that the company had said at a previous meeting that the conventionally produced single CDs must sell at least 10,000 copies and 30,000 albums before they can return to their original costs.
Nowadays, most people have the habit of paying for songs from the Internet or pirating most of them, so a group of people discussed for a long time how many CDs to make, and finally decided to set the goal of 50,000 copies and make 8,000 in the early stage.
"I just received a call from the company, in one day, all the 12,000 records listed in the country were sold out, and they were all urging to ask for goods, the second batch of 30,000 directly produced overnight, and it will be sent to various places today. ”
"Wow," the makeup artist was a handsome young man, "It's great to be able to sell tens of thousands of records now, singer, can you sign me in a while." ”
"Haha, it's easy to say!" Zhou Xiao was also in a good mood.
Although records are not very profitable now, and many times they are losing money and making money, but in fact, this data reflects how many die-hard fans, most people are not actually listening to it when they buy it back, but just for collection, and it is true love who is willing to spend money for you, and this method can also be placed on the relationship between men and women, as well as the author.
Platinum is not daring to think about it, gold is enough to choke.
The routine of singers making money is actually simpler and easier than before, finding good songs, posting songs, promoting through various channels, and after the end, it is a commercial performance to make money, so whether the record sells well or not is no longer the standard for measurement.
"Come and eat breakfast first, lunch is probably going to be a little late. After saying that, he helped Zhou Xiao pack his luggage on the side, and after the afternoon trip was over, the two of them were going to fly straight to the magic capital.
"So you have to change your clothes?"
Zhou Xiaosan drank the milk in two sips, and after eating the sandwich, he turned his head and asked.
"Of course. Brother Wang replied without raising his head: "You have to pay a lot of attention to your image now, I don't know how many pairs of eyes are staring at it." ”
"Okay!"
The thing he is not used to is this, obviously it is a new dress, and he has to change it if it is not dirty, take today as an example, he has already helped match three sets.
"Do you want to wear eyeshadow?" asked the makeup artist, "It's like a Korean idol, and some small fresh meat in China also likes it." ”
"No!" both replied at the same time.
The makeup artist was stunned, but he didn't expect the two of them to react so much.
Zhou Xiao's makeup is very simple, mainly to grab the hairstyle, the face is nothing more than rubbing some powder, outlining the lines, and finally setting the makeup, which is done in twenty minutes.
The signing meeting was held in a large shopping mall, and sitting in the car, you could already see many young people taking photos at the door, where there were many Zhou Xiao's human-shaped standing signs.
"Singing King Rogue Rabbit Zhou Xiao's latest single "Sorrow" Signing Meeting"
In terms of publicity, Weibo is the mainstay, and Brother Wang released the itinerary of the autograph session for the week, and the radio program he participated in yesterday was considered by the way.
Under the guidance of the staff, Zhou Xiao walked the staff passage to the upstairs, and couldn't help but look down with curiosity, good guy, the activities that started in 1 hour are now very long.
The signing meeting was reached very early when Brother Wang came to discuss, in his words, the attitude of the last time was: Oh, you want to come, I will think about it first, and I will pay the venue fee.
I called directly the night before yesterday: Are you still coming, all fees are waived, the host is here, please ask, if you have any needs, please ask.
The two just talked in private, laughed and passed, and in business, people are not wrong.
You are an unknown eighteenth-tier star, and it has no effect on the shopping mall to stimulate customer flow, and you should collect money.
"Mr. Zhou, do you want tea, I have prepared good black tea here. "The person in charge is surnamed Bai, he is not very old, and he is very measured.
With tea in his hand, he kept introducing some preparations in the mall, and the event started at half past ten and ended at twelve o'clock, with an estimated 500 people.
"Mr. Zhou, I have a question now, I want to hear your opinion. ”
"You say. Zhou Xiao took a sip of tea and nodded slightly, sure enough, it didn't taste good or bad, it was not as good as milk tea.
"Mr. Wang tuned 700 records overnight yesterday..."
Zhou Xiao's heart suddenly hung up, it must have not been sold, Brother Wang actually knew when he went out last night, but he didn't ask what to do, I think this is it.
"It's okay, you will ask someone to help put me in the car later, there is another signing meeting in the afternoon, which can be used just right, it was originally divided into two batches." "Brother Wang built a step by himself, and he couldn't let Zhou Xiao speak.
"Ahh You're mistaken. Manager Bai shook his hand again and again.
Well?!
"That's right, our mall attaches great importance to this event, and we put out Mr. Zhou's CDs early in the morning, originally said to make a pile of heads, which looks better, but less than half an hour after the door opened, all of them were sold out!"
"Sold out?" Zhou Xiao couldn't help but glance at Brother Wang, he shook his head lightly, indicating that he didn't know.
"I was also on the side at the time, and I asked some people, all of whom read your Weibo and rushed over, and a small number of them came from Tianjin, Sanhe, and Langfang. ”
"I'm sorry, you guys talk first, I need to make a call. Brother Wang got up and left after saying a word.
There is a sentence he didn't lie, the 700 records were urgently produced by him yesterday through local relations, just in case, all of them were sold out, and they were not available in the afternoon, so they had to think of a way, and Mr. Bai was really, and he didn't say a word when he sold out.
Zhou Xiao guessed what he was doing, and looked up at the person in charge in front of him.
"What's the problem you're talking about?"
"That's right, the number of people who bought the album plus the queue has now exceeded 500. ”
"Do you have statistics?"
"About a thousand. ”
Zhou Xiao understood what he meant: "Are the preparations below done now?"
"Well, it's been a long time coming, and probably less than half of them are there at the moment. ”
"Since I bought my CD, I must serve it well, so I'm sorry for you to see if you can start early. ”
"It's so good!" Manager Bai was happy, he could see that he was going to sign it all: "I'll go down now, about ten minutes." ”
"Okay!" Zhou Xiao stood up and began to prepare.
