Chapter 330: The first music album is a hot seller
After the fourth round on January 27, there will be a day off, the doubles match will be played on the 28th, and the quarter-finals between Zhang Huasong and Djokovic will be played on January 29.
That is, on the 28th, it was the third day of the first lunar month of Huaguo, and Zhang Huasong's first music album "Fly Higher" was also released simultaneously around the world!
Of course, because they are all Chinese songs, the main sales area is Asia. Many foreign countries do not have a distribution of goods, and only a small number of urban record stores where overseas Chinese live are sold.
Why did you choose to list on the third day of the Lunar New Year?
One is that Zhang Huasong is participating in the Australian Open at this time, CCTV is broadcasting live on CCTV, and Zhang Huasong won all 3-0, and the domestic and foreign media are hyping about it, and the heat is high, which is definitely beneficial to sales.
On the other hand, it is the Chinese New Year, and many fans and fans have a little spare money and time at this time.
Therefore, after the discussion between Pan Xiaowen and the record company, it was selected on the third day of the Lunar New Year, the day when Zhang Huasong was not in China and could not be promoted in person.
However, although Zhang Huasong was not in China and could not promote it in person, he still posted a Weibo through Jisu.com, telling everyone the news that his first album was released today, and received a very large number of fan responses.
In addition to physical records, because of the development of the Bluestar network, digital music albums have also appeared at this time.
As a result, Zhang Huasong's album was also converted into a digital album and sold on major music websites.
However, the trial can only be listened to for 30 seconds, and you have to pay to listen to the whole thing.
Although the overall trend of physical records is declining, there are tens of millions of records sold in China every year, and the scale of global records is hundreds of millions, which proves that there are still many people who buy records.
In the domestic market alone, the superstars with many fans still have hundreds of thousands of sales of their records, and Jay Chou's album sales are even millions or millions, all of which are bought back and collected by fans.
In addition, Zhang Huasong is not only the second king in China, but also the king in Asia, and he is also a first-line superstar in the world, and the quality of these songs is excellent for the first time.
Therefore, when determining the number of first prints, the record company directly set the number of first prints of 500,000 copies.
Because of the rise of the internet, physical records are in decline. Therefore, according to the passage of time, regional and demographic changes, the concepts of gold records, platinum records, and diamond records are different in each country and era.
For example, in the Stars and Stripes country, where the entertainment industry is most developed, it needs to reach 10 million copies to be called a diamond record.
In China, 1 million records is the platinum standard, and 500,000 records is the gold record standard, which can already compete for the annual sales champion in the mainland.
After all, platinum records, diamond records are not available every year.
Although not all of the 500,000 copies were sold in the mainland, the first print run that met the gold record sales standard still proved the record company's confidence in Zhang Huasong.
In particular, the songs inside are different, and in addition to Zhang Huasong's fans, there are many other people who may buy them for various reasons.
For example, Qianzhou people will buy because of "I'm Waiting for You in Qianzhou", overseas Chinese in Xiangjiang and Southeast Asia will buy because of the Cantonese song "Red Sun", other overseas Chinese may buy because of "Chinese People", "Journey to the West" fans may buy because of the song "Wukong", countless nostalgic people may buy because of "Childhood", middle-aged and elderly people who have worked hard for half their lives may buy because of "Mortal Song" and so on.
That's why record companies have the courage to print 500,000 copies for the first time. According to market research, they think that 500,000 copies will definitely be fine, just to see how long it will be sold out and when it will be reprinted.
Not only did Zhang Huasong use his Weibo account with tens of millions of fans to promote, but Pan Xiaowen and the record company invited a lot of media to speak out and promote Zhang Huasong's first record album "Fly Higher", which became known throughout the country.
Students, white-collar workers, track and field fans, fans, tennis fans, Qianzhou people, Yuzhou people, capital people, Xiangjiang people, during this Spring Festival, countless people have money and leisure, and many people are looking forward to it, just waiting for Zhang Huasong's album to be released on the morning of the third day of the new year!
In Qianyang City, after 7 o'clock in the morning, before the winter sky is bright, there are dozens of young people in down jackets lined up in front of a book supermarket, and occasionally a few middle-aged people are interspersed.
The bulletin board at the entrance of the supermarket reads:
"In order to prepare for the launch of superstar Zhang Huasong's first music album "Fly Higher", this book supermarket decided to end the Spring Festival holiday early and open on time at 8 a.m. on the third day of the first lunar month.
The people in line chatted while warming up, basically they were Zhang Huasong's fans or fans, and the few middle-aged people who didn't chase stars also bought high-quality album records to listen to because they liked a certain song by Zhang Huasong.
There are also a few people who bought it because they liked the song "I'm Waiting for You in Qianzhou", which describes their hometown of Qianzhou.
At 8 o'clock, the supermarket door opened from the inside on time. It turned out that there were people inside, but they were just arranging the shelves of Zhang Huasong's album and distributing goods inside.
As soon as the door opened, people in line flocked in, and immediately found the conspicuous "Zhang Huasong Album" shelf, hundreds of records were neatly placed on the shelves, and the cover was Zhang Huasong singing "Fly Higher" loudly in the finals of "The Masked Singer".
"I'll take two and bring one for my classmates. ”
"I'll buy 5 photos, collect them, and give them away!"
"I don't have that much money, just buy one!"
"How much is support!"
Soon, more than 100 of the 500 albums on the shelves were bought, and people kept rushing in through the door, and then took out the phone and called:
"Wow, XX Book Supermarket is open here, and there is an album by Zhang Huasong for sale!"
It didn't take long for other customers to rush in and go straight to the shelves of Zhang Huasong's albums, excitedly picking up one or several of Zhang Huasong's albums and hurrying to check out.
It turns out that this is because today is only the third day of the first lunar month, and there are still many supermarkets or video stores that have not yet opened.
Therefore, many fans ran a lot of places to find this one that opened the door, and then quickly called or went online to notify each other.
The manager of the bookstore saw that more than 200 copies had been sold in just an hour. I am afraid that these 500 records will not last for a day, and the manager hurriedly called the record company to buy another 1,000 copies.
In addition to Qianyang City, Yuzhou, Beiping, Hucheng, Shenzhen, Yangcheng, as long as there are places to sell Zhang Huasong's albums, countless Zhang Huasong fans or fans quickly gathered to buy Zhang Huasong's first music album.
