Chapter 0177: Tianhua Bookstore

The day Wei Hai released his first album surprised his peers in the music industry very much, and when they first got the news, they thought it was a mistake.

Generally speaking, major companies will have an advance arrangement for the day when their singers launch albums, often at the beginning of the year, and try to stagger the release time of each singer, as little as one month, and some will even stagger for half a year, so as to avoid their singers competing for publicity and promotion resources, and avoid diverting fans.

In mid-September, Yue Lingfeng had just launched "Wolf", and it had only been half a month since Wei Hai launched a new album.

Could it be that Tian Lai doesn't have any confidence in this newcomer, just just find a random day to push him out?

But the producer of this album is Zhang Xueyuan, if he is really not optimistic about Wei Hai's future, it is impossible for Zhang Xueyuan, one of the four major producers, to waste time to make this new album, right?

However, some people speculate that it is not to win the award of this year's annual event of the Billboard?

The annual event of the billboard is held on December 12, and the nominations are determined as early as November of that year, and the nominations are for all music works released from October of the previous year to October of the same year.

In other words, if you want to be nominated for the annual event of the year's billboard, you must release the work in October at the latest.

However, there are very few singers who are strong enough to delay the release of their works until October.

Producers and singers who hold the awards for the annual event of the year on the Billboard generally have two choices.

One is to release it after the New Year, giving the work a sufficient time to ferment.

One is to release it in the prime time of the summer vacation, although the time is a little tighter, but it has a fresh effect.

The results of previous years' judging also proved that most of the final winning entries were released during these two time periods.

Of course, it is undeniable that those who dare to release works in these two time periods are also big names in the music industry, and it is not surprising that they won awards, but it is strange that they do not win awards.

All in all, Tian Lai chose to release Wei Hai's new album during this time period, either he is not optimistic about him at all, or he is particularly optimistic about him, which is very confusing.

Just when many people couldn't understand Tianlai's arrangement, Zhou Lin had already boarded the plane to Pingjing and ran away.

The plane took more than an hour to land smoothly at Pingjing Airport, and as soon as Zhou Lin came out, he saw Zhu Zifeng standing in the most conspicuous position holding a big sign with his name written on it.

"...... by Hello Mr. Zhou! Seeing Zhou Lin come out, Zhu Zifeng was very excited.

"Thank you for picking me up." Zhou Lin just told Chunwen Publishing House about his flight number when he confirmed to attend the book launch of "Zhu Xian", and Zhu Zifeng took the initiative to pick up the plane.

"Mr. Zhou, you're welcome." Zhu Zifeng enthusiastically took Zhou Lin's luggage, acting like a little follower.

Zhou Lin grabbed it and didn't get it back, so he had to go.

Coming to the parking lot, Zhu Zifeng said: "Mr. Zhou, my car is a little small, don't mind." ”

"No, it won't." Zhou Lin said.

Zhu Zifeng's car is indeed very small, although it has four seats, but if you want to sit in the back, you must first push the co-pilot's seat away. The narrowness of the back row is also very unsuitable for people with a height of more than 1.75 meters, otherwise they will definitely hit their heads when they encounter a little ditch and bump.

The luggage was put into the trunk, Zhou Lin sat in the co-pilot seat, looked at the new interior, and asked with a smile: "Newly bought?" ”

"Just bought it for a week." Zhu Zifeng smiled all over his face, "Speaking of which, I have to thank Mr. Zhou." ”

"Thank me for what?" Zhou Lin asked strangely.

Zhu Zifeng started the car and said to Zhou Lin as he drove.

"Mr. Zhou, the press conference of "Zhu Xian" will only start tomorrow, do you know how many orders there are now?"

"Isn't the first seal forty thousand?" Zhou Lin asked.

At first, Zhou Lin asked for a first printing of 50,000, and later set a print run of 40,000 after a tug of war with Chunwen Publishing House. Zhou Lin is not dissatisfied with this print number, nor is he satisfied.

Zhu Zifeng said with a smile: "I don't guess that now the first batch of orders alone is 50,000 copies, and the first printing is not enough at all." Tomorrow's press conference, our editor-in-chief has to talk to you about printing. ”

"Fifty thousand?" Zhou Lin was stunned for a moment. He was very confident in "Zhu Xian", but he didn't expect the sales to be so good.

Before the press conference started, the number of copies printed for the first time was all booked, which can no longer be described as hot, it is completely "Luoyang paper is expensive".

"The Tianhua Bookstore alone has ordered 15,000 copies!" Zhu Zifeng said, "When other dealers saw that Tianhua Bookstore was so confident, they all increased the number of orders, and all of them ordered out the first printing at once." ”

"Tianhua Bookstore?" Zhou Lin was shocked again.

Tianhua Bookstore is the largest bookstore chain in China, with tens of thousands of chain stores in the country, accounting for a quarter of the Chinese publishing market.

Tianhua Bookstore is not only large in size, but also has a complete set of book consideration system, especially the "Tianhua Reading List" is the most famous.

The Tianhua Reading List is updated once a week and is divided into two lists: the Hot Selling List lists the top 10 best-selling books of the previous week, and the Recommendation List lists 10 good books recommended by the guest editors of Tianhua Bookstore.

The Tianhua Hot Selling List can be used as a barometer of the entire Chinese publishing market, and the bestsellers who can be on the list are second to none.

The Tianhua recommendation list is a list that all publishers want to break their heads and squeeze into. There is a joke in the market that even if it is a wordless book, as long as it can be on the Tianhua recommendation list, it will sell 10,000 copies next week!

Although it is a joke, you can see the influence of the two lists of Tianhua Reading List.

Books that can be favored by Tianhua Bookstore will definitely not sell too badly. This time, "Zhu Xian" was ordered by Tianhua Bookstore for 15,000 copies before the development was released, which is a great omen.

Zhou Lin just didn't understand, why was Tianhua Bookstore so optimistic about himself?

Zhu Zifeng saw his doubts and said with a smile: "Mr. Zhou, you don't know, Yang Muzhen, the boss of Tianhua Bookstore, is really Mr. Yang Muxia's younger brother. Mr. Yang Muxia has a special respect for your "Liancheng Jue", and it is estimated that it was because he greeted Yang Muzhen that there would be such a large order. ”

"Is that so?" Zhou Lin was stunned.

He came to Pingjing this time to meet Yang Muxia, since he has such a relationship, should he buy some gifts and thank him?

Over there, Zhu Zifeng was still talking: ""Zhu Xian" sold so well, the boss was happy to give me a bonus of 20,000 yuan. I added some savings to buy this car. Mr. Zhou, do you think I should thank you? ”

Zhou Lin smiled: "I still have this credit?" ”

Zhu Zifeng said: "Not only that, in addition to this car, my girlfriend is also thanks to Mr." ”
