After hanging up the phone, Meng Wentian, who was somewhat worried about this album, couldn't help but get up from the bed, turned on his laptop, and connected to the Internet with a phone line.

He first went to the website of Qingyuan Audiovisual Company to look at the weekly sales list, and looked at the album ranking of Zhou Yan's "My Future Is Not a Dream", at this time it had already ranked on the front page, but it was in seventh place, with a sales volume of 20,176 copies, which is indeed not far from just breaking through 20,000 copies.

The first place was Shu Lanying's "Mother's Barbecue Stand", with a weekly sales of 56,801 copies. The second place is Fu Yingyu's "Run, My Dear", with a weekly sales of 45,631 copies, and the third place is Guo Hui's "Buying and Selling is Heart......

The fifth place is Tan Yanyan's "Green Trees, Green Grass and Little Stream", which has sold a lot of time, 41,704 copies. Coincidentally, the sixth place is Zhou Yan's single album "The Most Dazzling National Style", with 39,451 copies.

In other words, Zhou Yan's two albums are ranked in the top 10, ranking sixth and seventh respectively.

Previously, the sales of "The Most Dazzling National Style" had been ranked in the top three, because the album "My Future Is Not a Dream" had the song "The Most Dazzling National Style", which somewhat collided with "The Most Dazzling National Style", resulting in a decline in the sales of the album "The Most Dazzling National Style", not only behind the newly released Shu Lanying and Fu Yingyu's two new albums, but also behind Tan Yanyan's album.

But "My Future Is Not a Dream" is the first day of release, and today is Saturday, and the sales data of other albums are the sum of these six days, and it is really good for this new album with little publicity to be ranked in this position.

However, this data did not exceed Meng Wentian's expectations, and it can even be said that there is still some distance from his inner expectations.

After reading this sales list, Meng Wentian went to the weekly on-demand list of Tian Lai Golden Songs.

The number of on-demand views of the song "The Most Dazzling National Style" still tops the list, reaching as many as 60,000 times, and the second place is Shu Lanying's new song, which is also the title song of her new album, with nearly 50,000 on-demand views, which is a big gap from "The Most Dazzling National Style".

Meng Wentian looked down for a while, and then found "My Future Is Not a Dream", which ranked thirty-sixth, and the number of on-demand views was 1947, which was not even enough for 2,000 times.

What pleased him was that "About Winter", "Always Go Home to See", "Flower Heart", and "A Fire in Winter" all squeezed into the top 50, with 1051 on-demand times, 1020 times, 972 times, and 821 times.

And "One Cut Plum" and "Friend" are also not far from a hundred, fifty-three and fifty-seven respectively!

Meng Wentian looked at this data, nodded secretly, and said with a smile: "It's really good, it will definitely bloom in full bloom next week, hehe." ”

Although these songs were not actually written by him, the fact that the songs from Earth were able to achieve such great results still made him happy and proud, after all, he was from Earth, didn't he?

After reading the two rankings, Meng Wentian searched the Internet for news and comments about Zhou Yan's "My Future Is Not a Dream" album, and found that the good and bad were almost the same. The good thing is basically the public relations article of Tianji Media, which is trying to praise how good Zhou Yan's new album is, how good the songs in it are, and how the album is expected to become popular.

And this album is just like that, and there are obviously a lot of articles about "The Most Dazzling National Style", what "Zhou Yan's Future Is Really Not a Dream", "Zhou Yan, who is self-aware, has a broken dream", "A dream is really just a dream", "Dream Broken New Album", ......

Meng Wentian only read the titles of these articles, and closed the webpages without looking at the specific contents of them, and he said to himself while turning off the computer: "These so-called experts are talking nonsense with no conscience, don't they stretch out their faces and let people beat them?

turned off the computer, and Meng Wentian went to sleep.

He has always controlled his work and rest time very strictly, getting up at about six o'clock every day to exercise, and then going to bed at about eleven o'clock every night.

When Meng Wentian fell asleep, a small conference room at the headquarters of Tianji Media Company far away in Beijing was brightly lit, and several CEOs of the company were red-faced because of the argument.

The CFO said dissatisfiedly: "...... , Mr. Zhang, I think that the sales of this album are at most and at most about the same as the sales of "The Most Dazzling National Style", so I firmly oppose the matter of paying money to book the production line from the manufacturer. We have already stocked 800,000 sheets in the early stage, which is enough for us to slowly produce on our own production line, and sell while producing. As long as there are no accidents on our production line, we can produce 1.5 million albums in four months, which is enough. ”

An executive also said: "Yes, Mr. Zhang, although I also think that there are several songs in this new album that are good, many of Zhou Yan's previous songs are not popular. We did a lot of PR for this new album, and this new album also rubbed off on the popularity of "The Most Dazzling Ethnic Style", but the sales on the first day were not as large as the sales of "The Most Dazzling Ethnic Style", so I don't think it will sell more than two million copies. At that time, the single album "The Most Dazzling National Style" had not yet been stocked up for 800,000, how could it not be enough?"

Seeing that some executives agreed with him, the chief financial officer immediately said: "As the saying goes, 'it is the mule that leads the horse out and slips', and now that we have pulled it out, we already know its potential, and there is no need to prepare too much money for its production." ”

After all, they have to raise a lot of contracted singers, actors, as well as bands, composers and lyricists, as well as other administrative staff, such as advertising, marketing planning, public relations, law, etc., and maintain good relations with many media, such as good TV stations, Newspapers and so on, these all need to consume a lot of money, and the company's source of funds is quite limited, the main source is the sale of albums and commercial performances.

If the song is good, the sales of the record album will naturally be good, and the price of the commercial performance will naturally be high, the company's income will increase greatly, and everyone's life will be better, and the production of record albums or something will be willing to invest money, even if it is wasted, it doesn't matter much. However, if the songs are not good, no one buys the records and albums, and the price of commercial performances cannot be raised, the company will not make enough money, and it will not be able to invest in the production of albums.

Moreover, there is also a problem of competition within the company, the singer who sings is popular gets more resources from the company, and when he produces the album, the company is not only willing to raise more funds, but also willing to help him by borrowing usury. And if the singer can't become popular, his album production fee can't be a lot, and the funds that must be invested must be as small as possible, and the funds that can be invested or not are not invested, and as for borrowing usury or something, there is no need to think about it.

This is an unspoken rule that everyone in the company knows, and this unspoken rule is recognized by all singers and company executives.

After all, the purpose of the company is to make more profits, and it is natural for resources to be tilted towards popular singers.

This is also the reason why Zhou Yan's public relations was unsuccessful some time ago, because the company was reluctant to invest too much money, but only used Zhou Yan's past popularity and a small amount of the company's money to show up on the radio station and say a few words about the new album, even if he sings, he can only listen to the requirements of the radio station to sing "old" songs.

Now that Zhou Yan's new album has come out, it was temporarily released by the company, and he wanted to take advantage of the fire of "The Most Dazzling National Style" to borrow a little popularity. In other words, his new album broke the company's original plan, suppressed the album production and release of other singers, and inevitably took up the funds of other singers.

This originally made the singers who were squeezed out dissatisfied, and made the executives who had a good relationship with those singers feel guilty. It turned out that everyone also thought that Zhou Yan's new album would become an instant hit, so everyone acquiesced to Zhang Huicheng's decision to stock up 800,000 copies, and also arranged for the finance department to hoard some funds to prepare for large-scale production when Zhou Yan's album was on fire, and even negotiated with other album manufacturers in order to occupy the market, spending money to ask the other party's production line to stay for a period of time, once needed here, they will produce there.

Of course, the so-called stay is only a written statement, and the other party will never really leave the production line empty, but ask the other party not to sign a contract for long-term production of albums, which can ensure that when Tianji Media wants to produce Zhou Yan's albums, they can immediately stop the production of other albums to produce Zhou Yan's new albums.

This practice naturally requires Tianji Media to pay real money, which naturally further compresses the album production of other singers in the company, and even affects the sales and publicity of singers who have released albums, infringing on the interests of these singers.

Now the sales of Zhou Yan's new album on the first day are out, although the data is very good, but in the eyes of the company's executives, this data is also decent: this new album will definitely be successful, but it is a bit far from everyone's previous expectations, and it will probably not exceed the sales of the single album "The Most Dazzling National Style".

That is, there is no need for the company to raise and backlog funds to prepare for the mass production of this album.

Zhang Huicheng, the general manager of the company, picked up the piece of paper on the table and looked at it, glanced at the data printed on it several times about the weekly sales list of Qingyuan song albums, and then asked Shu Heng: "Mr. Shu, what do you think?"

Shu Heng insisted: "I think this album is very good, it climbed to the seventh place on the first day, and it may be the third place tomorrow, doesn't this mean that this album is a big hit? In addition to this chart, I don't know if you have watched the weekly chart of natural golden songs on demand? "My Future Is Not a Dream", "About Winter", "Flower Heart" and other songs have all squeezed into the top 100, what does it mean? It shows that this album has been in the hands of listeners for less than half a day, and some people have liked them, so they are impatient to broadcast them on the radio. This is definitely a good sign. Why don't we do it for a week? Maybe a week later, there will be a big explosion. ”
