Chapter 643: First-Day Sales and Strange Reactions
The next morning, as soon as Ye Zi arrived at the headquarters of Wenhui Entertainment, Wenhui informed him of the total sales of the new album yesterday.
The number of 5869 has far exceeded Ye Zi and Wenhui's expectations, even if this sales are only half of the sales of Chen Yichen's new album on the first day, this number is enough to encourage Ye Zi and Wenhui, as well as all the employees of Wenhui Entertainment.
As soon as the total sales of Ye Zi's new album on the first day came out, music critics, reporters, and analysts across Xiangjiang suddenly lost their voices, while Ye Zi's fans were jubilant. Under the arrangement of Sima Minghui and other backbone of the fan club, they immediately kicked off the prelude to the promotion of radio song ordering for Ye Zi's new album.
There is nothing to say about the number of 5869 itself, it is just a very average result, not to say that it is very poor, but it has absolutely nothing to do with excellence, basically any Xiangjiang singer who has just debuted can achieve such sales data on the first day of holding a signing event when he releases his first album. But when discussing whether this data is suitable for Ye Zi, there are two prerequisites that must not be forgotten.
First, the impact of yesterday's typhoon. Although the rain began to subside from about 2 o'clock in the afternoon, and the rain stopped in the evening, the most important time period for a book signing event was about two hours in the morning. The sales volume in these two hours will play a decisive role in the results of the signing, and it rained all the time yesterday morning, and it was very heavy.
It's a disaster for any singer who does the signing.
Second, the influence of Chinese albums. Needless to say, Chinese albums have not been able to achieve brilliant results in the Xiangjiang market for six or seven years, and this mindset will also put great pressure on any singer who wants to release Chinese albums in Xiangjiang.
Don't underestimate these two factors, according to the normal situation, Ye Zi's Chinese album that insists on not skipping tickets and holding signing events on time, and it is also Ye Zi's first solo singing album, and the sales of all Xiangjiang can exceed the 1,000 mark on the first day It is already satisfying.
But what are the numbers now?
5869 shots!
Isn't that enough of a figure to be the norm for a Cantonese album to be released normally? With this first-day result, Ye Zi has stood on the same starting line as any Xiangjiang singer who normally releases his first solo singing album.
This is a great success.
It doesn't make sense to compare this result with Chen's first-day sales.
After a week of sales, Chen Yichen's album has been recognized by everyone and is continuing to sell well, plus yesterday's sales, the total sales have officially exceeded the 30,000 mark. Critics have also compared this album to the extraordinarily successful debut album "Smile" in 85, which not only eventually sold more than 300,000 copies, but was also recognized by the industry as the most successful male singer's first solo album in the Hong Kong music scene in the past decade. Chen Yichen's album is outstanding in terms of album quality, publicity period results, media reviews, etc., and it is a bit unfair to compare Ye Zi's new album with him, at least in terms of album language and media reviews, Chen Yichen's Cantonese album has already crushed Ye Zi.
This is completely out of the question, the difference between the two is by no means completely erased by virtue of Ye Zi's excellent performance in song singing, production, etc., and being able to reach half of Chen Yichen's new album in sales on the first day of the album is definitely not bad at all.
Even one day in the future, Ye Zi's album may be close to the achievements of Chen Yichen's album with its excellent performance in all aspects.
That's a hard thing to say.
……
The first-day sales of Ye Zi's new album were unexpected, which directly led to very few media reports on Ye Zi's new album that day. Except for Sima Minghui, who cheered for the good results of Ye Zi's new album on the entertainment edition of "Cheng Pao", and several other media that have a good relationship with Wenhui Entertainment reported the matter positively, other large and small media are basically silent.
Journalists, music critics, and analysts chose to ignore it collectively and did not report or comment on the achievements of Ye Zi's new album. First, they felt that their predictions were wrong, and they couldn't turn this corner to slap themselves in the face, and the other was that everyone didn't believe in Ye Zi's new album in the bottom of their hearts that they could continue to achieve good results, and they had to look at the trend in the next few days before making judgments and decisions.
If you really want to slap yourself in the face, then there must be a factual basis, right? It's only been a day, what's the hurry!
That's right, just the results of the first day, they think that the convincing is completely insufficient, maybe ...... Is there still the possibility of Wenhui Entertainment writing, directing and acting? If Wenhui Entertainment expects that Ye Zi's album will not be very popular, in order to achieve good results, they will spend their own money to buy these albums first, and then use the reports of reporters to drive the interest of Xiangjiang fans to buy this album, which is also a "very likely" thing. If this is the case, then aren't the journalists who are in a hurry to report and comment today "lose a lot"?
Journalists, critics, and analysts would not do such a thing as a wedding dress for someone else, and they all thought that such a decision was the right one. Anyway, if I don't report it, there will definitely be others who will report it, so let's wait until tomorrow. Almost every entertainment reporter, every music critic, and analyst thinks like this, and they all push the right to report and comment in a timely manner on other people, while they themselves go into hiding. Therefore, it is very rare that when a new singer's new album is released, there are not a few reports on the entertainment pages of newspapers and magazines, as if the entertainment reporters, music critics, and analysts in Xiangjiang have all forgotten that such an incident happened in the Xiangjiang music scene yesterday.
This extremely strange phenomenon was not broken until the normal broadcast of "Xiangjiang Entertainment Tracking" that night, and the lively scene in the HMV store was presented to all the audience for the first time when Ye Zi signed the sale. The newspapers and magazines do not report the news of Ye Zi's new album, Lin Liming will not pay attention to it, she has her own position and judgment.
In tonight's program, Lin Liming announced the sales of Ye Zi's new album on the first day on the spot, and praised the album at the same time. Just when all the viewers thought that Lin Liming had changed his temper and started to do the show more normally, Lin Liming immediately broadcast an interview video, which made the audience who were eager to draw conclusions cry and laugh.
The interviewer was Remy, who bet against Ye Zi. Kim, even though Ye Zi's new album got off to a good start, Remy. Kim still insists that he is the one who wins in the end.
Remy. Kim's view is the collective view of entertainers, critics, and analysts who have not reported on it. He believes that Ye Zi's new album signing is very extravagant and invites two emperor superstars to come to the show, which is the reason for the outstanding results, otherwise, why did Quan Xiangjiang's record sales not reach about 10 times the signing results in normal times? That should be more than 10,000 copies sold. So Remy. Jin believes that without the appearance of Sister Mei and Brother Xueyou, it would be impossible for Ye Zi's new album to reap the current results!
Remy. Therefore, Jin asserted that the sales of Ye Zi's new album will have a large-scale decline today (the next day), and it will definitely not be able to exceed the sales of 2,000 copies.
As soon as this interview video was played, Lin Liming immediately played another interview video, and the interview was with Mr. Ou Dingyu, who was shouting for Ye Zi before the release of the album and personally appeared at the signing site yesterday.
It is estimated that Lin Liming asked Mr. Ou Dingyu to see Remy. In the video of Kim's interview, Mr. Ou directly spoke to Remy. Kim's remarks were refuted.
He believes that Ye Zi's sales yesterday morning were 444 copies, which is close to the morning sales of Chen Yichen's first album, which is enough to prove that he has done a very good job in preparing for the signing, and the enthusiasm of fans has also been fully mobilized. Although this cannot rule out the gospel brought by the appearance of Sister Mei and Brother Xueyou, and it cannot erase the achievements of Ye Zi's fan club, if it weren't for Ye Zi's solid foundation among the fans, fans would want to let a large number of members brave the wind and rain to come over in such a short period of time, it is simply impossible. In other words, it is precisely with Ye Zi's strong attraction to fans that everything will be logical yesterday morning.
Mr. Ou also pointed out that Remy. The obvious loophole in Jin's remarks is that Ye Zi's new album has also sold quite well in other stores in Xiangjiang, and this achievement has nothing to do with the appearance of Sister Mei and Brother Xueyou. Excluding the 1,151 albums sold by Ye Zi when he signed on HMV, 4,718 albums were also sold in other record stores in Xiangjiang. If it weren't for the wind and rain raging yesterday morning, this number would have risen significantly.
Mr. Ou firmly believes that without the threat of typhoons, the sales of Ye Zi's new album today are likely to exceed yesterday's, achieving a reverse upward trend in album sales.
After the two interview videos were played, Lin Liming did not draw any conclusions, but said with a smile: "In the future, our "Xiangjiang Entertainment Tracking" program team will continue to pay attention to the future trend of this new album. ”
Remy. It is not yet known who will win and who will lose Jin and Ou Dingyu, and today's sales results will not be counted until tomorrow morning, but Lin Liming will definitely be one of the beneficiaries. The ratings of "Heung Kong Entertainment Tracking" rose slightly again that night, and the highest increase was when the two interview videos were broadcast. (To be continued.) )
