Chapter 655: Golden Record
On Wednesday, July 1, the major newspapers and magazines that had been silent for three days since the day Ye Zi signed the sale could no longer maintain their silence, and comments on Ye Zi's new album sprung up like mushrooms on the entertainment pages of major newspapers and magazines. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"20,000 sales in three days, the golden record is just around the corner" -- this is the headline news published in the entertainment section of "Cheng Pao" early this morning, starting from the second day of the album's release on the 29th, Ye Zi's news has occupied the headline position of the entertainment section of "Cheng Pao" for three consecutive days. Even Chen Yichen, who attracted the attention of the whole Xiangjiang media a week ago, only made headlines for one day, and failed to get Ye Zi's treatment in the entertainment edition of "Cheng Pao".
For several media outlets such as "Cheng Pao" that have reported at the beginning, they wish that other newspapers and periodicals would not participate in this report, so that they can enjoy the news of Ye Zi's side exclusively, and win over more and more Ye Zi fans with this.
This is of course impossible.
But with the previous three days similar to the scoop, they have gained enough. If nothing else, because of the recent surge in sales, these newspapers are already preparing to adjust their advertising costs for the next quarter.
This is a tangible benefit!
Other newspapers, having missed the coverage of the previous three days, will never be silent again today anyway.
There is no problem with their silence on the first day, it is normal for a rookie singer like Ye Zi, and a rookie singer from the Chinese mainland to publish his first album, and not get wide publicity from the media.
The silence on the second day was not too much of a problem, and the sales of 5869 copies of Ye Zi's new album on the first day could not be taken into account by them, and this number was too far from "excellent". Even based on their disdain for Ye Zi, they didn't even report on the presence of the two superstars at the signing the day before, but casually used a tidbit to pass the matter. As for Ye Zi and his new album, every entertainment editor gave the reporting rights in his hands to "others", but he didn't expect everyone to have the same idea.
The silence on the third day was the collective embarrassment of the entertainers, they definitely didn't expect Ye Zi's new album to usher in 9613 copies of the data on the second day, but because the publication of the newspaper was basically in the morning, they had no time to recover the losses that had been caused. They can only silently maintain their so-called dignity, pinning their hopes on the large-scale decline in sales on the third day of the new album. But by the time the noon call came, they all knew it was impossible.
Faced with the estimated sales of 6,000+ on the same day, guessing that the total sales of more than 20,000 copies in three days, and bearing the anger from the superiors, this time, no entertainment record can still sit still. Since yesterday afternoon, one story after another has been written at a rapid pace, and it has been added to the entertainment section of the newspapers they work for today.
But by this time, they had actually missed the best time to report. After three days of silence, in the end, it was cheaper than a few companies such as "Cheng Pao".
Early this morning, the concentrated reports of these newspapers and periodicals, which had been silent for three days, finally came out one after another.
"Rising Against the Market - Ye Zi's New Album Data is Quite Different from the Ordinary" -- this is the headline of the entertainment section of "Xiangjiang Daily".
"Ye Zi's new album sold more than 20,000 copies in three days" -- this is the title of the report of the entertainment edition of "Star Daily". The strange thing is that Mr. Huang Zichen, the chief writer of their ace column "Daily Entertainment Quick Review", asked for a leave of absence before Ye Zi's new album was released, and even the editor-in-chief can't find him at present.
"The Xiangjiang music scene is in an emergency, and mainland Chinese singers are invading strongly" -- this is the thriller title of the entertainment edition of "Ming Bao", under the decentralization of the editor-in-chief and the specific leadership of Zhu Hanwen, the entertainment edition of "Ming Bao" has always positioned itself as the opposite of Ye Zi. It seems that as long as Zhu Hanwen is still on stage, such an attitude may always be inevitable.
In addition to these big newspapers, dozens of other large and small newspapers also published various reports with different contents on the same day, and almost all the entertainment news of almost all newspapers on this day was basically occupied by Ye Zi and his new album, and the scene was spectacular. For example, "Guoguo Daily" took "Ye Zi's New Album Buyer Source Investigation" as the title, faintly implying that Ye Zi's new album has been selling well for days because of the backing behavior of the president and vice president of the Chinese mainland, and this so-called "source investigation" is, of course, completely from the hands of several reporters.
This is also a major "feature" of Heung Kong Media, which is not surprising.
At 10 o'clock in the morning, the sales of Ye Zixin's new album yesterday have also been summarized, and a total of 6,337 albums have been sold in Xiangjiang, once again exceeding the results when the album was signed on the day of release. Of course, compared with the 9,613 on the second day, this data also fell sharply.
This is also normal.
……
In the afternoon of the same day, Ye Zi, accompanied by Wenhui and Wen Wen, went to PG's exclusive recording studio for the first time, and together with Ou Dingyu and Brother Xueyou, he began to produce the accompaniment of the song "Kiss Goodbye". This "Kiss Goodbye" and the three cover songs proposed by Ye Zi that night have all passed the selection of the PG production department, and "Kiss Goodbye" has been confirmed as the title song of the album with the strong support of Ou Dingyu and Xue Youge, and the other six songs in the album are also being selected intensely.
Everything is going on in a busy and orderly manner.
At the same time, Tai Wenhui and Mrs. Chen officially signed a cooperation agreement on behalf of Ye Zi and Xue Youge respectively. To be able to get a large bureaucratic company like PG to complete the approval of the cooperation between the two sides in one day, Mrs. Chen's actions can be called efficient.
PG's production director Lin Wenjie also signed an employment contract with Tai Wenhui on behalf of PG, officially hiring Ye Zi as the producer (producer) of Xue Youge's new album "Kiss Goodbye". In this matter, Lin Wenjie did not do anything at all, and the re-meeting with Ye Zi was not shocked.
Tantai Wenhui agreed with Mrs. Chen that the news of this matter would be released after Ye Zi returned to Shencheng, and it was agreed that Sima Minghui would do an exclusive interview with Brother Xue You, and publish it on the entertainment edition of "Cheng Pao".
This is also for the sake of Ye Zi's continued publicity after leaving Xiangjiang.
……
Compared with the chaos and embarrassment of the print media, the radio is calm here. With the publication of Ye Zi's new album, and more importantly, the big sales for three consecutive days, Ye Zi's results on the radio charts have risen.
On the total list of 903 on-demand, Ye Zi's Chinese version has caught up with Chen Yichen, almost on par with him, and currently only falls in the second position with tens of points, and "Late Autumn" and "Jiangnan Road" have all entered the top five. As a result, there was a rare scene on the 903 overall chart, and the top five songs were completely occupied by two new singers, which has never happened since the launch of 903 radio.
Chen Yichen's Cantonese version and another "Song of the Times" occupy the first and third places respectively, Ye Zi's three songs are the second, fourth and fifth, and even the song "The Sound of the Waves", which was the least popular with fans at the beginning, has now reached the eleventh place on the overall list, and it is about to enter the top ten.
In addition to the strong promotion of the new album's hot sales, this achievement will also have a great relationship with the fans led by Sima Minghui.
Sima Minghui knew that Ye Zi's Chinese album could not be shortlisted for the "Top Ten Chinese Golden Songs", and there was no way to join the selection of the "Top Ten Golden Songs", so he concentrated the strength of all members together to "attack" the position of 903, paving the way for Ye Zi to participate in the "Pop Chart" award ceremony at the end of the year.
The results were immediate.
Although after the rapid development in the past few days, the number of members of the Ye Zi Xiangjiang Fan Club has just broken through the 3,000 mark, which is dwarfed by the more than 4,000 members of the Chen Yichen Fan Club, but don't forget that Chen Yichen has to fight on three battlefields at the same time, and the strength of more than 4,000 people is bound to be dispersed in three places. And all of Ye Zi's power can be concentrated in one place to use, so in 903, Ye Zi's main battlefield, Chen Yichen is currently retreating, even if his Cantonese version still occupies the first position, but from the perspective of stamina, its advantage is already in jeopardy.
Not surprisingly, Ye Zi's Chinese version will surpass the Cantonese version in the near future and reach the first place on the 903 overall list for the first time. Once you go up and want to call Ye Zi down, you have to ask Ye Zi's current more than 3,000 members if they agree.
The head can be broken and the blood can be shed, and the first throne will never be lost!
This is the guarantee made by Sima Minghui to Ye Zi on behalf of more than 3,000 members, and they are indeed acting every day.
……
On July 1, Ye Zi's new album sold at a high level of 5,569 copies. Four days later, the album officially broke through the gold record index, and the total sales have reached 27,488 copies.
This data is still far from Chen Yichen's achievement of almost breaking 30,000 in four days, but on Ye Zi and on this Chinese album, this achievement is even more rare than Chen Yichen's achievement. In fact, Ye Zi's album sales have surpassed Chen Yichen since the next day, if it weren't for the big difference between the two on the day of the signing, Ye Zi's total sales can now surpass Chen Yichen.
Now for Ye Zi, platinum records are no longer an unattainable dream, if the sales will still be thousands after a few days of stabilization, then even double platinum or even triple platinum and quadruple platinum can work hard.
No one could predict such an achievement in advance, including Ye Zi himself.
With the release of sales on the fourth day, no entertainment, music critic, or analyst will look down on Ye Zi's album, even if this is a Chinese album that they disdain very much, even if Ye Zi is just a small singer from the Chinese mainland, they can only obediently send their praise.
That's the perk that comes with great results.
This also once again verifies what Sister Hui said to Ye Zi on the morning of the signing: The media are all grass on the wall, as long as your grades come up, let them slap themselves and they will do it.
Isn't the experience of the past few days the best proof? (To be continued.) )
