Chapter 446: The Battle of Records

It's just that in this way, he directly stole more than half of the limelight from the Komuro family this year.

Although the total sales of his singers are definitely a victory for Tetsuya Komuro, the most important thing is snatched away, and it is inevitable that there is a feeling of eclipse.

Moreover, the momentum that has been held back for a year is ready to kill the Quartet, but it was cut off by both of them, which is strange to think about.

However, although the victory or defeat on the list has been decided, there are still two other battles between Ye Aki and Komuro Tetsuya before the year is completely over.

The first competition is, of course, the Record Awards at the end of the year.

In 1994, Mr. Kid won the record award that year, but the band did not attend the award ceremony, and in the end the representative of the record company had to accept the award for them.

Because of this incident, their relationship with the record awards was not harmonious for a while. And the big awards also lost face because of this time, and simply announced that from now on, the most important awards will only be awarded to singers who attended the ceremony.

After marrying Liang Zi with the big prize, Mr. Child is probably also a little worried about being retaliated against, so he is simply too lazy to go after that.

In this way, in terms of sales, Mr. Kid, Tetsuya Komuro, and Ye Zhao, who have fought from the beginning of the year to the end of the year, have become a wrestling between Ye Zhao and Tetsuya Komuro at the upcoming record awards.

Tetsuya Komuro stands behind Ai Hui, and the other awards of the Record Awards are quite authoritative, but the most important awards have always been a high-incidence area for black-box operations.

If you talk about the forces behind it, it is definitely Tetsuya Komuro who has the upper hand.

However, Ye Zhao's single "KISEKI", which was shortlisted for the Grand Prix Awards, not only ranked first in sales this year, but also set off a new trend, no matter which way it is viewed, it is the most powerful candidate for the Grand Prix Awards.

It's just that I don't know that as early as the year Kondo Masahiko won the award, he lost the credibility of the award, this time it was a fair and just award, or continued to implement their personality.

In addition to the battle for victory at the year-end awards, another competition also revolves around Globe and Ye Zhao's new album released this year.

Although the annual list has been counted, the two albums, which are not too different, are also "sabre-rattling" with each other again because they are close to a record.

Inoue set the record for the first million-dollar album in Japanese record history, after which Chuck and Asuka sold their first two-million-dollar album, followed by Dreams Come True with the first three-million-dollar album.

And now, the two albums of Ye Zhao and Globe have become the two albums closest to the "first four million albums".

Regardless of whether records are meant to be broken or kept, the "first" is always tempting.

At this stage, Ye Zhao's chances of winning are slightly better.

Because his album sold 50,000 more copies than Globe's album, if there was nothing particularly stimulating sales in the middle, and it continued to sell so slowly, the record of the first 4 million album could basically be determined to belong to Ye Zhao.

However, his opponent is none other than Ai Hui, who is the most good at marketing and has the most small tricks, multiple version covers, record revisions, and various record dealer methods, and when he traces his origins, he can always catch up with it.

Especially now, Ai Hui still has an imperative attitude towards this record. Since you lost in the annual list, you can at least win this glittering record.

Fortunately, the current ORICON list still exists, even if it is just a little moderation, it is enough to curb those excessive business laws.

Otherwise, if Ai Hui makes an album revision at this time, let alone snatching four million albums, he can easily take away the previous annual crown, but if that's the case, it will be too boring.

For example, one year in the future, there was a dispute between AKB and ARASHI for the annual crown of the album, and at the last moment, ARASHI opened a revised version of the hanging, snatching away AKB's original annual crown.

No matter what kind of cancer is not a tumor, whether the commercial law is or not, this kind of thing is indeed criticized. What's even more incredible is that ORICON actually admitted the sales of the revised version, adding them to the original sales, and acknowledging the crown of the year by ARASHI.

In fact, if you want to talk about it, once someone breaks the rules, there will be various tricks to refresh the lower limit later.

The earliest multi-version covers, still using the lottery method, are not open to buy. Later, a dozen versions of a record could be released, and there was no restriction on the purchase of it.

After that, the lower limit was repeatedly refreshed, and the records were simply sold for the sake of selling, and the festival was gone.

So it's hard to say who is to blame, who did the right thing and who did it wrong.

Fortunately, in this year, even if you want to win, you still have to have basic rules to follow, and the record company can't use such tricks for the time being.

Even if it is really used, the remaining festivals on the ORICON side will still maintain the order of the current market.

Although there is no commercial law for the old records that have been released, Ai Hui has stepped up publicity efforts, not only actively contacting TIE-UP for the songs on this album that has been released, but also contacting various music groups at the end of the year for the globe to let them appear and play.

From all aspects, to stimulate sales.

Compared with the energetic Ai Hui, BEING's attitude can be said to be quite Buddha...... What do you want and what you don't, a posture of four million records of who wants and who counts.

But if you really want to talk about it, BEING really wants nothing and nothing...... Especially when compared with Ai Hui, it is even more sour.

Obviously, they all took advantage of the golden age of records to make their fortunes, but one became bigger and bigger, and the other shrank into a small workshop.

The record company has no interest in this record at all, and if it wants to stimulate a wave of sales, it can only rely on itself.

In fact, if you want to say that the record of this "first 4 million album" is very good, it is not very unpleasant to not get it...... He would have said this if he had only sold three million records.

But now, there are hundreds of thousands of tickets short of four million...... Of course, I hurriedly found a way to rush four million harder. If you don't work hard, you just follow the fate, this kind of thing is too inferior.

Therefore, when others were still touring back and forth across the country, his office had already helped him contact the group between the end of the year and the beginning of the year in advance.

Although there is no time for the live show because it is going to be toured, there are still recorded programs.

Now that I'm back in Tokyo, I have so many days of time for the time being, and Ye Zhao can't be idle, so he hurriedly recorded the group that was set before.

Of course, you still need to be disciplined, and you can't go anywhere just to sell records.
