Chapter 55: A Tough Opponent
December 1. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Wu Jie's new album "My Journey" chose to be released on this day, because of his super popularity and extraordinary strength, and this album is still his work after a year of silence and ready to be released, so on this day, there are almost no other singers in the country to release new songs or albums, everyone invariably chose to avoid its edge, and even a few first-line singers originally planned to release new songs in December, but because of Wu Jie, the original plan was postponed to a month later!
All of this is because he is Wu Jie! The Chinese music scene, especially in the mainland, is a pivotal figure at present.
Of course, not only because he is afraid that his works will be overshadowed by his light, but also because of a way to express awe of himself, no one wants to provoke such a big man in the entertainment industry.
However, not everyone is willing to do this......
The so-called no coincidence is not a book, Moonlight Media Company's original plan was to release the new single "Snail" written and composed by Hong Ning on this day, and sung by Xue Yilin and Hong Ning, when it was learned that Wu Jie's new album was finally released on this day, the company's upper echelons couldn't sit still at first.
So a few days ago, an emergency meeting was held in the company's rooftop conference room, which was attended by the company's high-level people in music distribution, as well as professionals who focused on market evaluation, and of course, Zhao Mingdan, the producer in charge of the production of the new song, and Lu Xun, Xue Yilin's manager, were also present, and they were summoned to make an important decision about the release time of the new song.
The atmosphere in the conference room was a little tense, and the air seemed to freeze.
"I suggest that it would be better to postpone the release of the new song by a month and wait until January, after all...... That's Wu Jie! A middle-aged man with a round belly sitting on the right side of the oval conference table held his forehead and said in a deep voice.
"Well, I also think it should be like this, this time we can't be the same as last time, this time the opponent is much stronger than us." On the other side of the table, a young woman with red curly hair tapped the pen gently and rhythmically on the table, her brows kept tight, and after hearing the middle-aged man's words, she nodded lightly and said in a calm tone.
"But...... A month later, there are still a few equally big names of singers coming out with new albums, and I see that the competition may not be weaker than it is now, the key is...... Irene is not long from the release time of the last song, the popularity is still there, I think the release at this time is correct, and Weibo has already been posted, if it is delayed again and again, I am afraid it will cause dissatisfaction among fans......" At this time, Lu Xun, who was sitting in the corner, raised his head and said very seriously.
“……”
After listening to their words, the rest of the dozen or so people did not speak immediately, and all of them frowned and looked thoughtful.
"Lao Zhao, what do you think?" After a period of silence, Zhang Guoming, who was sitting in the middle of the conference table, looked at Zhao Mingdan, who was sitting next to him, and asked.
Hearing Zhang Guoming's words, everyone's eyes focused on Zhao Mingdan.
"Well......" Zhao Mingdan glanced at Zhang Guoming, then looked at the rest of the people, and supported the black-framed eyes that were about to fall off the bridge of his nose with his hand, and said in a somewhat hoarse voice: "Actually, I think ......"
"Maybe we can make a move!" Suddenly, her voice became loud and authentic.
"Bo?"
"What? Wide? ”
Her answer surprised everyone else, no one dared to disagree with Zhao Mingdan's prestige in the company, but no one expected that she would give such an answer this time.
"So what do you mean...... We will release it on December 1st as originally planned? Zhang Guoming looked at Zhao Mingdan with a little surprise in his eyes and asked, this time even he was shocked by the latter's attitude.
"We don't have to be on the same day as him, we release it the next day, even if it's a superstar like Wu Jie, the new album should only be extremely popular on the first day, I don't think we will be affected too much if we release it on the second day, and ...... I also agree with Lu Xun's statement, the iron still needs to be hot, we can't miss this opportunity, the last song let people know the name Hong Ning, if after a while, people may forget, the remaining popularity of the last song can indeed bring a slight increase in sales this time. Zhao Mingdan said word by word very methodically, so that others had to admire her in their hearts that she was worthy of being a senior music producer, and her understanding of this industry was indeed much deeper than theirs.
"And ......" At this time, when the others were still thinking about what she just said, Zhao Mingdan continued: "I am very optimistic about Hong Ning, and I am also very optimistic about his song, even if it is against Wu Jie, I don't think it will be a miserable loss!" If we were able to survive under pressure this time, it would be ...... There will also be unexpected effects. Zhao Mingdan looked at Zhang Guoming and said in a deep voice.
"Unexpected effect......" Zhang Guoming was stunned when he heard this, and immediately understood the meaning of Zhao Mingdan's words, indeed, this-for-tat confrontation can be said to be a double-edged sword! Either you will be completely crushed to death by the other party, but once you survive, it will be different! If you can still have good results under the fierce offensive of Wu Jie's new album in the end, then this is very topical in itself, and then ...... You can use this topic to benefit them!
……
In the end, due to Zhao Mingdan's reasoned statement, and Zhang Guoming himself went to the recording studio to listen to the song, he also appreciated and was very optimistic about Hong Ning and the song he created, so the result of the meeting was: their new song will not be postponed for a month, although it will still not be released on the same day, but it will only be postponed by one day, and it will be released on December 2!
At eight o'clock in the morning on the first day, Wu Jie's latest album "My Journey" was launched on major music platforms at the same time, and at the same time, his company and his team also began to "crazy" publicity in many places, in fact, this publicity has started a month ago, whether it is Weibo, post bar, forums or major media portals, they have spent a lot of money on advertising and promotion, Wu Jie has also called on people to pay attention to his new album in several variety shows.
Big star, big production, and publicity are so well done, so this album has been favored by all insiders and outsiders before its release, this is almost an ironclad album that will explode, Wu Jie's studio also announced very heroically before that the goal of this album is to break the two million sales of Wu Jie's "Divine Specialty" "Soul Journey" last year!
As soon as the new album was released, Weibo was already occupied by Wu Jie's huge fan base.
"Listen to it! Brother Jie's new album has been released, Jie fans hurry up and support it! ”
"Hmph, this time we want to let others know that not all cats and dogs can challenge our Brother Jie's status in the music world!"
"As you remember, our goal is to break through two million!"
And in the end, the sales on the first day did not disappoint everyone, and that night, the entertainment pages of all the major websites on the Internet were occupied by the album's amazing sales.
The title of "Sohu Entertainment": "Worthy of the first brother in the mainland!" Brother Jie's new album sold 500,000 copies in twelve hours! 》
The title of "Popular Entertainment": "Sell 300,000 in an hour!" This is Wu Jie! 》
This is already surpassing the first-day sales of his album last year, such data, in the current Chinese music scene, except for Wu Jie, maybe only those super first-line singers can do it!
Not only is the sales growing rapidly, but the word-of-mouth is also good, and the ratings on major platforms are basically above 8.5 points, although it is not excellent, but it is definitely enough to prove that the quality of this album must not be low.
"Go on, everyone! Don't stop! All the fans, it's time to unite as one! We want to prove to everyone that Brother Jie has super first-line strength! On Weibo, the blogger with the account ID "Brother Jie loves you for a lifetime" posted that he is the backbone of Wu Jie's largest fan group in the mainland, and as soon as he posted on Weibo, many of Wu Jie's fans were enthusiastic, commented, forwarded, and squeezed into the top five on the Weibo real-time hot search list for a while! As a result, the sales figures of this album are still growing on major music platforms......
