The three questions of the female reporter, the most difficult question for Chen Chufan to answer is the second question, although the female reporter's wording is relatively gentle, but what do you think, it is nothing more than asking Chen Chufan to prove the truth of the data he reported.

In fact, compared with Hong Kong Island and Taiwan Island, the data on the sales of this record is more convenient to query, because there are authoritative institutions to statistically identify and release it in a timely manner. However, there is no authoritative record sales statistics agency in the inland areas, which makes it difficult for Chen Chufan to explain.

He can't irresponsibly say that the data is obtained from his own producers. Because of his contract, he would never lie to himself about such things, right? However, after thinking for a while, Chen Chufan still decided to answer this question head-on, because he believed that Kalman. The data reported to him by Walter is accurate, and he believes that as an international record company, it naturally has its own statistical methods, although he is not very clear, but after the reporter consults the company, at least the company has a way to prove this data.

Although such an answer may be questioned by the audience today, Chen Chufan feels that it doesn't matter. After all, he has a clear conscience. But when he was about to open his mouth to answer this question, someone in the audience took the lead.

"I think the first two questions of this reporter, as a singer, Chen will not give you a satisfactory answer, so it is better for me to answer them for you. By the way, my identity. I'm Vice President of Media for Universal Music Asia, Tom Brown. Jackson, if anyone doubts my identity, I don't think the journalists on Hong Kong Island will have such doubts, because this is not the first time we have met! ”

Fluent Chinese sounded in the back row of the press conference, attracting everyone's attention. I saw a very young Asian guy standing in the last row, holding a microphone. When he caught everyone's attention, the young man smiled shyly. Then he stretched out his hand to make an inviting gesture, and then a white man in a suit and leather shoes next to the young man stood up and nodded at everyone who turned around.

It was only at this time that Chen Chufan noticed Tom, who had been on Hong Kong Island for so long and had not yet met him. Jackson actually came to his press conference, and apparently the young man was Tom. Jackson's translation on Hong Kong Island.

At this time, the host of the press conference also reacted and immediately said: "Then now I invite Mr. Jackson to come to the stage and answer the reporter's question just now!" ”

Everyone on the stage had different expressions, but they reacted immediately. Fortunately, the rostrum is designed to be spacious enough. Two more people is just a matter of the staff adding two chairs temporarily. And when Tom. By the time Jackson walked up to the podium with his interpreter, everything was ready.

"What a surprise to me, Mr. Jackson, have you always had this special hobby of stealing the limelight?" When Tom. When Jackson passed by Chen Chufan. Chen Chufan whispered.

"Oh! Chen, you have wronged me so much when you say that! I'm here to support you on behalf of the company! "Tom. Jackson replied in a low voice, and then sat next to Chen Chufan, picked up the microphone and began to speak.

So first of all, to answer the reporter's first question, the sales data that Chen just mentioned are all real-time sales data of Chen's album. There is no doubt about it! ”

"So I'm going to elaborate on the second question that my journalist friend just asked. In fact, Chen's album was able to achieve such results in mainland China, which completely exceeded all of our expectations. What the journalist friend said just now is right, country M is the world's largest legal music market, and the number of genuine records sold for an album in five days. That's about 100 to 2 million copies, except, of course, the top singers in Europe and the United States. ”

That's why Chen's album can achieve such results in the mainland. It can be described as a miracle. So, how do I prove this miracle? You should all know. Universal Music has been preparing to enter the mainland entertainment market since the end of last year, and in January this year, we officially signed a contract with Guangdong Xinyue Culture to start working on the expansion of the mainland entertainment industry! ”

"Chen's record is the first time that our Universal Music Company has officially started to expand its business inland, so we at Universal Music Company attach great importance to Chen's record sales statistics! Basically, every afternoon at a fixed time, the company's marketing department will collect the sales data of the day from all the inland channel providers who have signed contracts with us through the Internet or telephone, and finally form a report for me to see, so I can assure you that the data just now Chen said is completely true and reliable! ”

Of course, some people may still be skeptical, after all, this is our own record sales, not the record sales determined by the three authorities. I can understand this doubt, but this is the company's internal calculation, which is used for accounting and dividends with singers And because I am responsible to Gu Dong, this Jing sales figure is a trade secret, but this time, in order to prove that we have not made a false report, on behalf of Universal Music, I have decided that the detailed sales data of Chen's records in all inland districts from the day of listing to last Friday for a total of five days can be made public, and all media friends can check the authenticity by themselves! ”

"As for the third question, in the face of this milestone achievement, what does Chen think, it is inconvenient for me to overstep the bounds! Now let Chen answer it! ”

Tom. Jackson ended his speech with a round of applause, which was really a bit of a noise. However, Chen Chufan naturally did not have any dissatisfaction, on the contrary, he even felt very moved. Tom. Jackson's statement is undoubtedly a statement on behalf of Universal Music, and the company is unconditionally on its side for this incident.

Even Tom. Jackson did not hesitate to release the company's confidential business data to support him. Whether it's Tom. Whatever Jackson's purpose is, it is the strongest support for him. Chen Chufan has never been a person who knows what to do, so at this time, Tom. Jackson unleashed kindness, and he also gave enough respect.

Chen Chufan yelled at Tom. Jackson smiled and nodded, and then he picked up the microphone and said, "Thank you, Mr. Jackson, for coming to my press conference, and thank you for your support on behalf of Universal Music!" When it comes to how you feel about these achievements, to be honest, I really haven't thought much about it. Of course, first of all, I would like to thank Universal for its attention and cultivation to me. Thank you to the fans who bought my album for their support! In addition, I will try my best to do my part and make more high-quality music to repay everyone! Thank you! ”

Chen Chufan in Tom. Jackson's subsequent remarks were perhaps the most modest of this evening. However, it was the warmest applause of the night, because no one cared about what he said, and almost everyone was shocked by what he had achieved.

As the female reporter just said, in less than a week, the album sales in the inland reached 1.5 million copies, which is definitely a milestone achievement in the inland physical record industry. If the sales ratio of genuine to pirated copies is about 10:1 to 50:1 according to the previous sales experience in the mainland, then Chen Chufan's album pirated sales are likely to have reached between 15 million and 75 million. Okay, maybe it's a bit of a difference in the middle, but even if the pirated copies are only sold at 15 million, that's sensational enough.

"Alright, now the Q&A session continues. I would like to ask a question from the second reporter in black clothes from the sixth row! After all, the audience was a professional journalist, and after a moment of warm applause, they all immediately raised their hands and began to ask questions.

"Hello, Mr. Chen, Mr. Jackson. I'm a reporter for Rolling Stone magazine on Taiwan Island, and I would like to congratulate Mr. Chen on such an impressive achievement on his debut album. I have two questions, but first of all I would like to ask Mr. Jackson, what we just learned from you is until last Friday. Mr. Chen's album sales, so I would like to ask if you can easily disclose what is the number as of today? I would like to ask Mr. Chen for the second question. When do you plan to release your second album, on the premise that the first album was so successful. What are your expectations for your new album? Do you feel stressed? ”

The reporter's question made Chen Chufan feel a little depressed. In other words, the theme of this press conference is to respond to the dispute with Son Haoyong in the Korean Island GOP group, and some negative effects. But when he announced the sales results of his records, it seemed that this press conference began to turn sour, and it was simply a trend towards the celebration of his first record sales success, but unfortunately it was not his speech now, so the stomach full of complaints about Sun Haoyong could only be put in the stomach.

No matter how depressed Chen Chufan is, Tom. Jackson, however, had already begun his speech.

"Looks like I'm really going to have the momentum to dominate today." Tom. Mr. Jackson joked, and the translator said it before he officially replied: "For the reason I just said, after all, the record sales are considered a trade secret of the company, and I am responsible for Gu Dong, so I can only publish an approximate figure on this issue, and it is impossible to release the data after last Friday in detail and provide you with inquiries." According to the reports I received, as of 5 p.m. yesterday, the total sales of Chen's albums in all inland regions had exceeded 3 million. ”

"Hiss" There was a gasp sound from the audience! In just three days from last Friday to yesterday, more than 1.5 million copies were sold.

"Ahem, ahem!" Chen Chufan coughed helplessly twice before focusing the attention of everyone in the audience on himself. Following this momentum, Chen Chufan feels that not only will the theme of today's press conference deviate, but today's protagonist will also really deviate. Jackson was so shocked by the numbers that he didn't even pay attention to the questions he had to answer.

"Well, then I'll now answer the reporter's second question. My new album is already in the works, and it is estimated that it will be available in two months, and the expectation for the new album to sell as much as possible is as good as possible. Speaking of stress, well, I personally don't feel too stressed, I just need to do my music well! ”

After Chen Chufan finished speaking, he himself began to feel that since Tom Chufan said this. After Jackson appeared, he showed too little aura. In fact, there is really no room for two reporters to ask him questions in succession, and they are all clichés that can be dealt with casually and can deal with past topics.

And the development of the entire press conference that followed, just as Chen Chufan felt in his feelings, began to develop in the direction of the celebration. Or maybe the sales of Chen Chufan's debut album are too exaggerated, and every reporter who was called to stand up and ask questions has asked various questions around this exaggerated and incredible achievement.

Schedule an hour-long Q&A session with journalists. More than half of the time has passed, and Sun Haoyong, another important figure in the GOP group of the original press conference, has been thrown out of the sky by the reporters on the scene for safety. More than a dozen reporters' questions did not even mention the name.

If there was anyone who was the most depressed at the scene, it was probably six media outlets from Handao. What's going on? Nima, they are here for Sun Haoyong, but in addition to Chen Chufan's speech, after sneering at their popular artists in Handao, the popular superstar in their eyes was completely ignored at this press conference that should have been another protagonist.

This is even more unacceptable than being despised!

Especially every reporter from country z who was called up to ask questions. The first sentence is all to congratulate the artist of country Z who doesn't know what politeness is at all in their opinion, for his impressive achievements, but he doesn't even mention the popular idol in their country, which makes them even more embarrassed. These achievements have not been confirmed yet, and these people are busy adding to their butts. Isn't that disgusting people?

But what can they do? Universal's top brass are even willing to give the company's trade secrets to testify against Chen's achievements, which is enough to show that Chen's album sales, which even make people feel desperate, are at least 90% likely to be real. And this result is enough to put South Korea's most popular group to shame.

Let's put it this way. They came to this press conference for a complete humiliation! You can't ask any of the sharp questions that have been prepared for a long time, otherwise you will be laughing at them in vain! They didn't even know how to cover the press conference when they returned home, and it would be a disaster.

So at this time, they didn't even have the heart to raise their hands to ask questions. Thinking of the enthusiasm when they took the plane, and the commission of the editor-in-chief before leaving, these people almost wanted to die at this time. There was even a representative of a media outlet who had quietly left the venue early. Or maybe that's the best option for him. Otherwise what are you doing staying there?

Finally, in the final stage of the press conference's reporter question session. There is nothing to ask about Chen Chufan's album results, and the reporter who was finally named two times remembered the theme of this press conference, so he asked a few questions about Sun Haoyong at random, and the question session of the press conference finally ended.

When the launch is carried out at this time. Generally, supporters say a few polite words, and the whole conference should be completely over. But apparently today's press conference was full of surprises from beginning to end. Jackson is stealing the camera again.

He first hinted to the host with his actions that he still had something to say. He picked up the microphone again.

"At the end of today's press conference, I have some good news to announce. Of course, these messages are also about our protagonist today, Chen! ”

Chen Chufan rolled his eyes beside him. Anyway, this Mr. Jackson still knows that today's protagonist is him! The camera is almost finished by him?

"Well, the first is that our Chen has three singles nominated for the 2000 Grammy Awards, and second, just last Monday, Chen Chufan became the first singer in country M or the world to sell more than 10 million digital music singles, the single title is "Lovedyou", yes, this song is also included in Chen Chufan's first Chinese album, and it is worth mentioning that the second place in the sales list of digital music singles in M country is also Chen's single "Me", which currently sells 9.32 million times."

Tom. Jackson said that there was no way to continue.

The reporters who had just accepted Chen Chufan's creation of a miracle in selling albums in the mainland thought that they were already feeling aesthetically tired of the so-called sales miracle. Can be Tom. After Jackson announced these two news, everyone was still shocked, and even busily began to take out his mobile phone and began to call his counterparts in country M to verify the news.

If record sales in the interior can only be confirmed by record companies through internal data, then the various music sales charts in country M are reliable enough.

Many people present had learned about Chen Chufan's experience in detail, but after they learned that Chen Chufan had only stayed in country M for just over three months, they gave up their understanding of Chen Chufan's experience in country m. After all, it is too unbelievable that a genius can break into the music scene in only three months.

But at this time, these reporters regretted that their intestines were almost green. If they had realized in advance that this Chen Chufan had been able to create so many miracles, and had taken a step earlier to understand Chen Chufan's experience in country M, then they would have been able to grab the opportunity to report on it exclusively, instead of hearing Tom Chufan at today's press conference. Jackson's public announcement.
