"First of all, I would like to have good news for you. ”

The staff in the recording studio said excitedly with a fax in their hands.

At this time, the recording had just ended, and the producer and the supervised were given a little time to rest. The progress is a little slow, so I've been in a hurry lately.

"Last week's weekly list just came out, and "Special Lovers" successfully won the weekly list. As for the specific sales figures, please look at this ......," the staff member said, handing over the fax in his hand.

"Thank you. Ye Zhao took it with one hand and glanced at it while drinking water.

Even if the number of prints is deliberately lowered, considering that the sales of the first single may be discounted, the final expected shipment of this single is about 400,000 copies, which is not too much to just right.

ZARD's recent singles have sold between 600,000 and 700,000 copies. In the end, the leader of this single is Sakai Izumi, and the shipment of 400,000 copies is roughly based on this number of discounts.

In addition to that, there is also a synthesis of things like cooperation effects.

"Twenty-six thousand thousand......

Probably because he had a rough estimate in his heart, seeing this number, Ye Zhao was neither surprised nor disappointed, but an expected calm.

The first week of 267,000 copies, if it is just an ordinary single, can be regarded as maintaining the usual first-week level of ZARD in these recent singles, and it is not a good thing.

However, given that the change in song style may cause discomfort to some fans, this is a rare zero TIE-UP single among ZARD singles, and it is still a precursor single, so when combined, this result is quite good.

No matter how much the publicity is serious, and the single that comes up with a bunch of tricks to hit the charts, it may not sell 260,000 copies at the beginning, which is a number that will make the record company laugh out loud as a precursor single.

However, to be able to win the weekly list with this number is certainly very strong, but it can also be regarded as very lucky.

In this era of sales blowouts, there is not only the super good luck of picking up hundreds of thousands of leaks to win the championship, but also the super strength of crushing millions of tickets at the beginning.

In this case, this single can not only suppress hundreds of thousands of singles, but also does not accidentally collide with the amazing big thing at the beginning, and it is worthy of both strength and luck.

"It is said that we have received some additional orders," the staff dutifully told him what they knew, "but we have not heard any news of the reprinting for the time being, but we have first transferred goods between regions." ”

It's routine, nothing special. After all, the sales volume should also consider the region, blindly go to the additional order, and wait until the album is released, the first single will most likely be unsalable, and once it is smashed by a large number of returns, it will not be beautiful.

"And then ......," the staff member spoke again.

It's just that Ye Zhao is still immersed in the first-week sales list in his hand at this time, and he is thinking about what the trend of the first single will be before the album is released.

According to the daily sales breakdown, the sales of this single have been steadily declining every day, and they have rebounded on Saturday and Sunday, and it is not concentrated on the first day and then diving, which is a very healthy trend.

In this case, next week's sales should be okay. Even if it's a first-run single, of course, it's better to sell well.

Just as Ye Zhao was thinking, a sudden "Congratulations!" burst into his ears.

He raised his head suddenly, and the staff of the recording studio, plus Mika Kawashima, who had just left the recording studio during the break and quietly came back at some point, were all gathered in front of him.

"Happy birthday! Congratulations!" everyone clapped their hands and congratulated him.

Ye Zhao nodded and replied with a smile: "Thank you, it's really an honor!"

In this world, Ye Zhao is certainly not alone.

A few days before his birthday, he had already had friends send him blessings and gifts, and as a producer, the singers he produced would not forget to send some hearts on this day. Not to mention the celebration that everyone in the studio has prepared for him now.

In addition, Yokohama's family will definitely not be surprised to call to greet him on his birthday.

Masaharu Fukuyama, who was just given him a love action teaching guide as a gift not long ago, did not forget to exchange gifts on this day at this time, even if people are not in Tokyo, they have to send him a return gift a few days in advance.

If thousands of young girls, housewives and old aunts knew about their private interaction, I don't know how they would feel.

That being said, although it will be very lively on this day, deep down in his heart, there is actually no big fluctuation. There is no joy, no superfluous emotion, and no delicate emotions such as sadness.

If there is anything, there is only a painless feeling of "ah, I am a year older...... again".

Counting this birthday, he has already had three birthdays in this world, one of which is a significant 20-year-old coming-of-age birthday, which means that he can freely go in and out of clubs and nightclubs, and has the right to vote, the autonomy of marriage, and so on......

But even so, for him, it's just like reading the strategy and actual combat commentary in advance, and finally unlocking the dungeon that he couldn't get in before after slowly getting enough levels.

It's just that it's good to be alone, but if a birthday becomes a collective celebration, then the birthday gives a new meaning.

Think of this day as a day for everyone to be happy and lively together, and then the mood will be even higher.

The cake was delivered to him by Mika Kawashima herself.

At six o'clock this morning, the two of them started work in the recording studio, and the relationship between the two was good, so it was up to her to start at this time.

The cake was bare, and there were no candles.

"Twenty-two candles are too hard to put together, so forget it. Mika Kawashima said with a big grin.

"Thank you...... But it's okay if you don't say it, right?"

"It's basic honesty. ”

Such honesty is neither touching nor necessary. Ye Zhao thought silently in his heart.

"However, Ye Jun is only twenty-two years old, he is really young. Mika Kawashima said in a tone as if she was emotional.

Of course, a serious book has never been her painting style, so the next sentence is: "Because you are usually so old-fashioned, you don't have the real feeling that you are a young person at all......"

Although in a sense, the eldest sister's judgment can be called accurate, but ......

"This is also Sister Meixiang's so-called 'basic honesty'?" Ye Zhao was speechless, as if he had been complained about not being like Edogawa Conan when he was a elementary school student.

Mika Kawashima nodded with joy, and almost said the words "That's right".

The two of you come and go like this, but it makes the staff on the side happy to watch, and the smile on their faces is happy enough.

After sending a blessing that was very grinning but not perfunctory, Mika Kawashima said to him: "Although I didn't blow out the candles and didn't make a wish, but please also tell me what is the outlook for this year, Ye Jun." ”

"Prospects? Doesn't seem to be. Ye Zhao half-jokingly said, "All my birthday outlook has been used up when I can drink on my twentieth birthday." ”

"It's a shame that you can say it...... " Mika Kawashima was almost defeated, but she was still a little unwilling, and continued to ask: "So, in another way, do you have any goals for the new year?"

"Well, it's good to spend it like this. Ye Zhao seemed to be joking, and replied to her a little seriously.

At this point, Mika Kawashima stopped the topic and stopped asking. I can't ask anything anyway.

After that, together with the staff, everyone shared the cake together.

This situation reminded Ye Zhao of the time when he was in the recording studio before, and everyone also helped Sakai Spring Water celebrate his birthday.

"What do you want for your birthday present? Before that, Sakai Izumi asked him.

Compared to his approach of wanting to pretend to be stupid until the day (and almost overturned), Sakai Spring Water is much more direct.

"A gift?" At that time, Ye Zhao pointed at her casually without thinking, and quickly withdrew his finger, "You." ”

"Me?" Sakai was stunned.

Ye Zhao nodded, "Yes...... It's good to be remembered by your sister and spend it together. "As for what gifts are not gifts, it really doesn't matter at all.

Both of them have jobs today, so it was agreed that dinner would be settled outside.

In the evening, after finishing the recording, Ye Zhao went to the restaurant that he had made an appointment with her.

Sakai Spring Water arrived first, and when they met, Ye Zhao congratulated her first, "Congratulations, the new single won the top of the weekly chart." …… However, my sister should have known about it a long time ago, right?"

For singles released in her name, the staff will of course give her priority in telling the news.

"Thank you, but it's also thanks to Ye Jun, right?" said Sakai Izumi.

"It's nothing, it's all sister......" Ye Zhao replied deliberately. However, after only half of speaking, I couldn't help but laugh, "This kind of mutual praise is better excused." ”

Sakai Izumizu also smiled, "Okay." ”

Ye Zhao came by car, so even if it was a big meal without wine, he had to settle for it. It can't be helped, it's safer and more secluded than taking a taxi back.

Fortunately, there are two people together anyway, even if there is no alcohol to cheer up, it will not affect the mood.

After eating, he left the restaurant and passed by a convenience store halfway through, and Sakai Izumi told him that he had something he wanted to buy.

"Shall I go with you?" Ye Zhao unbuckled his seat belt.

However, she refused, "It's just a little something, and I'll be back soon." ”

Since she said so, Ye Zhao waited honestly.

This initial number is based on the results of the previous single of the globe at the same time
