Chapter Seventy-Six: It's Still Far Away

After understanding that "That Summer" was in a state of continuous work and class in the first few days of its release, it was difficult to sell the expected sales in the first week, and it might not be until the National Day holiday to usher in the outbreak, Jiang Lin immediately put aside the matter of "That Summer" for the time being, and devoted himself to coping with the classes and preparing for his own album, and the whole person was very busy.

Then there is to ask Xia Bing to help him contact a variety show that can sing in the show, giving priority to variety shows in the form of interviews, and the most important thing is that it can be recorded on weekends and broadcast on TV stations as much as possible.

The purpose is naturally album promotion, considering that he who is studying in Yanying can't run around the country to promote during the release of the film like other singers, he hopes to brush his face through a popular variety show, and strive to win the public's favor while improving his own awareness.

It is necessary to know that singers and actors, as the former stage, are not as good as directors and musicians behind the scenes, and they also need to have their own charm and be widely liked by people, especially young people, because they are the main consumers of movies and records, Han Hong, Sun Nan, Han Lei and others have strong singing skills, but in the 21st century of the original time and space, their record sales were thrown back by Jay Chou, Jolin Tsai and others, in addition to the aesthetic differences generated by the song itself, The main reason is the gap in the number of fans, no matter which country or region, fans are always the biggest consumption power in the music market.

Jiang Lin didn't care, but at the same time, countless fans who couldn't wait to buy the album back were full of admiration for the super high quality of "That Summer", not only to live up to their expectations, "That Summer" brought a huge surprise, no one expected, and they didn't dare to think that in addition to the four warm-up songs released in advance, there were so many good songs in the album, based on the difference in personal taste, in the eyes of many fans, some of the remaining six songs are undoubtedly more attractive to them, maybe "Promise", maybe "Little Lucky", Maybe it's "Wild Son", maybe it's "Eyelash Curl", maybe it's "Feathers", maybe it's "Wish", or maybe it's a combination of them.

Hiding all the pain in my heart, bearing it silently alone, and then sharing all the happiness with others, this is undoubtedly a psychological state of universal existence, and therefore, after feeling the huge surprise brought to me by "That Summer", Li Man and "That Summer" began to become a hot topic in more and more places, the speaker was unintentional, the listener was intentional, and inadvertently, something brewed.

At the same time, compared to the general music fans, there are many people in the music field, or record company executives, or musicians, or singers, or music critics, all of them are dumbfounded, how can a rookie singer's album have so many good songs, and these songs are all written by one person, a person who is only 18 years old, how appalling is this.

In Jiang Lin's undistracted busyness, the four days passed in a flash, and on Monday, September 30, the major record companies successively got the latest week's Xinghua Bookstore album sales charts.

Xinghua Bookstore's album sales list is not a total list of all album sales, but only the sales statistics in Xinghua Bookstore's own system, but even so, Xinghua Bookstore's album sales list occupies an extremely important position in the fields of books, film and television, and music, for the simple reason that as the largest chain bookstore in China, there is no one, Xinghua Bookstore's number jù has a strong authority and reference value, although with the rapid growth of terminal channels such as audio-visual stores, bookstores, and supermarkets since the mid-80s of the last centuryThe market share it occupies is declining year by year, but it is recognized in the music industry that the sales volume of Xinghua Bookstore is multiplied by a coefficient, which is basically the sum of the genuine sales of an album in major video stores, bookstores and supermarkets across the country in a single week, and the difference will definitely be there, but it will not be too different.

Due to changes in market share, this coefficient changes every year, but in recent years, with the slowdown of new terminal channels, it has tended to be relatively stable, and it has remained around 15 the year before and last year.

It is not difficult to understand that unless it is a small-scale distribution and a single terminal channel, the record company cannot quickly know the sales number like Xinhua Bookstore, after all, it is impossible for a record company to call each video store and bookstore one by one every day.

In the conference room of Hanhai Records, a group of the company's main executives gathered, and on the table in front of each person was a copy of the album sales chart of Xinghua Bookstore, which included a column with "That Summer" was prominently marked, and everyone had a smile on their faces.

"Guys, as we expected, 'That Summer' was a huge success."

As Song Huimin's words fell, fierce applause immediately rang out in the conference room.

Success, of course, is success, 5,265 copies, this is the sales of "That Summer" in Xinghua Bookstore in five days, ranking third on the list.

This number may not be remarkable, but the total sales volume expanded to the whole country, calculated according to the coefficient of 15 times, the sales volume in the first week of its listing should be about 80,000 copies, only more, not less, according to the information feedback of the staff market survey, some video stores after the broadcast of "That Summer", attracted many pedestrians to buy in the store, which is an obvious signal.

You must know that in the past week, the whole country has been in a state of continuous work or class before the National Day holiday, and as we all know, the holiday is the real peak period of consumption, and 80,000 copies can be sold in such five days, which fully shows the attraction of the four warm-up songs released before to fans.

In addition, as the market becomes more and more mature, information transmission is becoming faster and faster, in the past two years, the appeal of big-name singers, their album sales in the first week often account for 20%-30% of the final total sales, the proportion is quite amazing, in contrast, due to the huge difference in appeal, it all depends on the quality of the album itself and the publicity efforts, the albums of unknown new singers have not changed significantly, accounting for less than 10%, there are albums with excellent quality, after a period of brewing and fermentation, There will even be a monster level jù that accounts for less than 1% of the final percentage.

Li Man's fame is not small now, but after all, he is a rookie singer, and the quality of "That Summer" is not to be said, and there is no weekend in the first week of its release, so its proportion will definitely not be very high.

Obviously, it was only a matter of time before the album "That Summer" sold more than one million.

After the applause stopped, Song Huimin continued: "Happy is happy, but now the sales of the album have just begun, as always, we must not be complacent, and then the artist department and the publicity department will make every effort to promote the publicity activities, especially in Hong Kong, Treasure Island, Singapore, we have not really opened the market in these regions before, Li Man and "That Summer" is undoubtedly a good opportunity, "The Promise", "The Quiet Sea That Summer", "Eyelash Curl", "Little Luck", Many of the songs on the album are in line with the local mainstream taste."

After Hanhai Records got the number of album sales charts in Xinghua Bookstore, as the album producer, Jiang Lin naturally learned the news from Ji Chengshankou quickly.

"80,000 in the first week, not bad." Jiang Lin only responded lightly, what about the weekend when there was no peak consumption period in the first week of listing, for an album that is a good song, and there is no shortage of albums that belong to the classics and hits of the year in the original time and space, is it surprising that such sales are needed?

His expectations are very high, 80,000 photos, heh, it's still far away!
