Chapter 90: The Sales Boom
"152364! The sales volume on the first day has exceeded 150,000!" Manager Wu's voice was a little hoarse because of excitement: "Since the new century, this is the best record of the first day sales of the best record second only to the God of Songs!"
God of songs, there is only one person in the Chinese music scene, that is Zhang Dezong, who has been popular for 20 years, has countless fans for each album, and concerts have been held in more than 100 major cities in the world.
Zhang Dezong has only released one album in the past ten years, and on the first day of the new century, he sold 310,000 copies on the first day, and the final sales exceeded the 5 million mark.
Ming Qingxue's name is very different from that of the god of songs, but the sales of "In My Singing" can exceed 150,000 on the first day, which is also incredible!
"Mr. Tingyu, this record is on fire! Millions of sales are not the end at all, we must expand sales as soon as possible, I can also help you contact other distributors, we must seize the market before piracy comes out! The profit that this record can create is very large, enough to make many people blush!"
The copyright protection in China is not much better than in the previous life, because since ancient times, the Chinese people have not had the so-called copyright awareness, and the huge decline in record sales in the new century is mainly due to the rampant piracy and the rapid development of online platforms.
The next day, almost all entertainment news, entertainment newspapers, and entertainment websites reported a legendary newcomer in the music industry, Ming Qingxue, and a magical new album "In My Singing"!
Several major record distributors in the country gathered in Shanghai and Haihai to negotiate with Wei Tingyu to sell albums at a price of 20 yuan per album, but in fact, most of the singers negotiated the record distribution price with them is about 60% of the sale price, and "In My Song" left them only five yuan in profit.
However, the market prospect of this record is too great, and it is still in a state of hunger and thirst, because there are only 52 origin bookstores in the country, it is impossible to buy it in many cities and counties in the first place, which also limits the number of sales of the record itself to a certain extent.
Ten classic golden songs are concentrated in one album, sung by Ming Qingxue, a singer with a golden legend, and the impact is by no means ordinary.
"In My Singing" came out, almost established the status of Ming Qingxue's music queen, this album sold 150,000 copies on the first day, second only to the God of Songs in the new century, the total sales are expected to break platinum, almost all of the ten songs are classics, each of which makes people nostalgic!"
"Perfect song, perfect singer! This pair is combined, that is the perfect music enjoyment, the lossless sound quality provided by the 25 yuan album, it is also a perfect album that is worth collecting, "In My Singing" is almost invincible in the record market, no one can stop it!"
"In My Singing Voice is scheduled to be the best album of the year! Not only does the title song have very good quality, but the other nine songs are all classics! Who is the lyricist and composer Pastoral Song? Like Ming Qingxue, he is a newcomer, but he has a magical talent, and his music creation ability is almost not inferior to Fang Lin's two masters!"
On this day, no one discussed and paid attention to the old bacon Guo Kai and Xiao Xianrou who had just released a new album.
Affected by "In My Song", both "Dancing Ge" and "My Most Fashionable" fell sharply on the second day, after all, many people have limited income and will not buy two albums in a short period of time.
The combined sales of "Dance Ge" and "I am the Most Fashionable" are less than a fraction of that of "In My Singing", which is the most annoying.
Reflected in the Huaguo New Song Chart, the seven songs that have been released on the Penguin Music Network occupy the top seven, and squeeze "Wuge" to the eighth place, and each song in "My Singing" has a strong upward trend on the list, and it is almost a sure thing that the next ten songs will occupy the top ten of the new song list at the same time.
At this time, both Guo Kai and He Lin only have envy, jealousy and hatred, the gap is too big, but there is not a lot of room for public relations, harassment or rubbing heat, and being crushed is already an unselectable fate.
The next two days of the weekend were supposed to be the prime date for record sales, and the newly produced records were rushed to all parts of the country, and the distributors who had just completed the signing and receipt of the goods were also shipped overnight, spreading "In My Song" to almost every town in the country.
On October 27, "In My Singing" sold 183206 copies.
On October 28, "In My Singing" sold 224589 copies.
In just three days, "In My Singing" has sold more than 500,000 copies, and the golden record is beckoning.
The influence of this amazing album is also constantly spreading to traditional media and the public, and more and more people want to buy a copy of "In My Singing" out of curiosity, which makes "In My Singing" sales remain around 150,000 even on traditional sales days such as Monday to Thursday, and there is no significant decline.
So on November 1, 2007, "In My Singing" had just been released for a week, and its sales directly exceeded one million, achieving the achievement of a gold record.
"The pirated disc has flowed out, although the sound source is not very good, and the sound effect is very poor, but the price is only eight yuan, I am afraid that the next record sales will drop sharply!" said Manager Wu of the origin a little helplessly.
If it weren't for the rampant piracy of discs, the sales of records would have been easy to grow, and gold records would never have been so difficult to be born.
Wei Tingyu nodded, he had no way to stop the emergence of piracy, but there was a way to make these pirates make less money.
So on November 1st, Penguin Music Network officially began to sell the virtual album of "In My Singing", all of which are ultra-clear and lossless sound quality, which is a grade higher than the audition, and the whole album only costs 10 yuan, with an average of one dollar per song.
Many people may be busy with work, or they may not have the habit of buying records, even if the price of "In My Singing" is only 25 yuan, but there are still many people who will not consider buying it.
But the virtual album only costs 10 yuan, you only need to buy it with a light click on the penguin music network, although there is a one-month protection period, you can't download it, you can only listen to the song online, but the quality of the sound source exceeds the ultra-clear quality of the previous audition, which is a more rare enjoyment.
Since this is still the first digital album in the Chinese music scene, Penguin Music Network and Wei Tingyu are also very modest when they cooperate, and the sharing ratio between the two sides is 1:9, Penguin Music Network 1, Wei Tingyu 9.
Penguin Music's initiative not only shocked many music lovers, but also attracted the attention of almost the entire music circle.
You must know that since the beginning of the new century, there are two major factors for the deterioration of record sales, one is rampant piracy, and the other is listening to songs for free on the Internet.
So much so that almost the entire singing industry has been depressed, and the number of new albums released in recent years is even less pitiful.
And if the innovation of digital albums can be successful this time, then there will be a new way of wealth in the future.
