Chapter 969: Ye Zi's "Demon" Album (End)

(Happy New Year, friends!) Good luck with all your wishes! )

……

After their last tour at Yenching Normal University, Ye Zi and Wenhui returned to Shencheng to prepare for the release and signing of their second album scheduled for May 8. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

In view of the increasing influence of folk songs in mainland China, this time, after careful discussion with Brother Wenhui and Ye Zi and Keny, the release strategy of the album has changed, from the practice of Xiangjiang debut on the first album and then affecting the mainland Chinese market, to the opposite, and the first release was carried out in Shencheng. This is in the hope that the hot sales that can be expected in the mainland market of China will drive the Xiangjiang market in reverse.

It's an attempt.

While this attempt may not necessarily be as successful as expected, it ...... Such an attempt is still necessary, and it is impossible for Ye Zi to always use the Xiangjiang market to drive the mainland Chinese market. For Ye Zi's future, this will be a very dangerous thing.

Only by walking on two legs can you walk more steadily and further.

It's just that...... Whether it is Tai Wenhui or Brother Keny, including the Shencheng Branch of Huaxia Record Factory, which once again got the distribution rights of Ye Zi's album in mainland China, and even Ye Zi himself, no one expected that the performance of Ye Zi's second album would be such an extraordinary "demon"!

……

On Saturday, May 8, the sun was shining. The temperature is maintained at around 20 degrees Celsius, and it is most pleasant to be neither hot nor cold.

It is not surprising that the signing of the first album continued on the same day, with 13,325 cassette tapes and 1,049 CD albums being only on par with the first album, with tape albums slightly lower, although CD albums sold hundreds more.

This is a normal result, no matter how high it is, I am afraid it will not be able to be achieved in a music bookstore, after all, the space is really limited, and the number of fans who can participate in the signing will also be limited by the venue. But this is a matter of the future, there is no rush now, Yutai Wenhui and Ye Zi have time to think about making decisions.

Two days later, on the third day, the record factory announced for the first time that the statistics of the city's sales and national shipments in Shencheng were summarized, which directly blinded everyone's eyes.

On the day of the album's release, the city's sales reached 100793 cassette albums and 5,778 CD albums - this is the first solo album in history to sell more than 100,000 in one day, and Ye Zi once again set a sales record in the Shencheng record market. The record studio received more than 500,000 additional orders in one day, and the direct shipment volume reached as many as 200,000 boxes on the same day, which also broke the daily shipping record of the Chinese mainland record market.

According to the instant interview records released by reporters from all over the world, Ye Zi's second album was on sale on the same day, and a rush to buy in the record market in mainland China was formed.

Even the well-informed reporters were all surprised, such a grand occasion could not be compared even the release of the new albums of those emperor superstars, and the only thing that came close was the sensation caused by the Chinese album "Kiss Goodbye" published by Brother Xue two months ago, which was also such a situation of 10,000 people competing at that time. However, from the aspects involved in the two albums, Ye Zi's latest album seems to be a little more extensive. In mainland China, even small video stores at the county level have this album on sale, which is not comparable to Brother Xueyou's "Kiss Goodbye".

The Chinese media immediately fell into a frenzy, not only did they report on the super sale of Ye Zi's new album, but various media even sent reporters to chase and intercept Ye Zi 24 hours a day, just wanting to get even a few words of Ye Zi, or take any photos of Ye Zi when he did not appear in public.

The grand occasion is unprecedented, and the whole country is boiling!

Ten days later, the first week's shipments stunned everyone again - more than 1 million cassette albums and 50,000 CD albums were shipped to set a new sales record in the Chinese mainland record market. In particular, 50,000 CD albums, placed in the Huaxia continent, where CD records are not the main music carrier, is already a number as high as the sky, which is a number that can get platinum records even in the Xiangjiang and Taiwan Strait markets.

The Shencheng branch of the record factory had already laughed from ear to ear, and the director immediately decided to raise the salary of Lu Zheng, a senior recording engineer in the record studio, by two levels, and at the same time double the bonus, and the work project would also be selected by him personally, and there was a house to distribute. The director of the factory clearly knows that Huaxing Records' willingness to transfer the distribution rights of the mainland Chinese market to the record factory again is directly related to Ye Zi's favor, and a very important reason why Ye Zi is willing to choose the record factory again is related to Lu Zheng. The factory director even inquired that Lu Zheng was Ye Zi's teacher in recording and production.

Such a talent, of course, the factory director knows how to envelop.

……

The initial figures for record sales had a typical herd effect, with Ye Zi's second album selling wildly in the first week, sending more and more fans to the video stores. The more people buy, the more people come to buy, and Ye Zi's new album sales are snowballing towards his own sales record of 3.3 million boxes set just last year.

In the second week, shipments of 1.05 million boxes again broke the new record set just last week, but this record did not last long. In the third week, the album shocked all industry insiders again with super data of 1.3 million boxes.

Ye Zi's sales record of 3.3 million boxes set in more than two months last year was broken by himself in just three weeks. And judging from the current trend, the sales of this album are straight to the sales of five million boxes. Up to now, there has never been an album in the Chinese music industry, including imported versions and compilation albums, that can reach a super number of five million boxes.

Not only in the media, but also in the Huaxia record industry, everyone is crazy!

Gan Zhihao, general manager of Shencheng Audio-visual Company, came with Yang Qingsong, vice president, and directly auctioned a sky-high contract of underwriting 2 million boxes, hoping to win the distribution rights of Ye Zi's third album. You must know that this is directly putting tens of millions of funds there, and then selling the album.

Gan Zhihao's courage moved Wenhui to Tangtai, but ...... It's still early, the third album is still in Ye Zi's mind, and of course it is impossible for Wenhui to promise anything. However, Wenhui has relented, as long as Ye Zi has no objections, the distribution rights of the third album Huaxia Mainland will consider Shencheng Audiovisual Company to join the competition. The director of the record factory immediately got the news, and they immediately took action.

For Ye Zi and Yutai Wenhui, this is a good thing, a great thing!

In the fourth week, the frenzied momentum of three consecutive weeks finally eased for the first time, and the total number of shipments plummeted by three percent, and only 830,000 boxes were obtained this week.

The word "only" is used so much that all singers hate itchy, people are desperately tossing and turning, the total sales of an album are just such data, but here in Ye Zi, it is "only" a week's sales, and it is the number after the sales plummeted - this TM still doesn't let people live!

The singers' eyes were all green, and even Zhang Lei and Xie Yun complained to Ye Zi from time to time, saying that he was not a friend enough. Of course, this is a joke, seeing such results, Zhang Lei and their hearts are itching.

At the end of the first month, the total shipment of Ye Zi's second solo album has reached a terrifying figure of 4.18 million boxes, a figure that has caused a sensation in the Chinese mainland music scene, making countless singers envious and jealous, but also impressed in their hearts.

Now, with two consecutive super-selling albums, as well as various honors won in Xiangjiang and the Chinese mainland, Ye Zi has proved through the stage of the Chinese New Year's Eve Gala at the beginning of the year that he has truly stood at the top of the Chinese pop music scene. Although this position is not particularly stable, once the results of the third album slip too much, or can not continue to achieve satisfactory results in the Xiangjiang music scene and the Chinese music scene, Ye Zi will slip from the current top position. But as long as Ye Zi can maintain the current momentum, then his position will become more and more stable, and his influence will become greater and greater.

……

In June, when the second album continued to kill in the mainland Chinese market, Ye Zi and Wenhui had quietly flown to Xiangjiang. This time, Wenhui specially brought Zhang Lei, Xie Yun, Zeng Chun and other contracted singers in the company to come over. On the one hand, this is to give them their initial contact with the Xiangjiang music scene, laying a certain foundation for the debut of the third album in Xiangjiang in the future; On the other hand, of course, it is to cheer for Ye Zi's album to be released in the Xiangjiang market.

It's not a chore, it's a good opportunity for others to get their hands on it.

Zhang Lei and Xie Yun all know that Ye Zi is close to Brother Xueyou and Sister Mei, and he is already familiar with many big-name singers in Xiangjiang. As Ye Zi's friend and fellow brothers and sisters in the company, you may be able to take the opportunity to get acquainted with some of your own connections.

Where to find such a good opportunity!

On June 6, Ye Zi's second album was officially released in the Xiangjiang market.

Thanks to the popularity of a series of good songs on Heung Kong Radio starting from "You at the Same Table", as well as the craze brought about by two folk song tours at Heung Kong University and Chinese University in early April, combined with the news that this album was super sold in the mainland Chinese market and fed back to the Heung Kong market, this time the release of Hong Kong has achieved far more popular results than expected.

The signing of the day ended with 2,876 CD albums, the highest this year, and greatly exceeding Chen Yichen's record of 2,155 albums. At the end of the day, the total sales in the Xiangjiang market were the same as Chen Yichen's second album "Unparalleled in the World", which suddenly rushed to more than 15,000 copies.

Xiangjiang media uproar!

The reporters and critics who watched Ye Zi on behalf of Zhu Hanwen and Remy/King collectively lost their voices!

On the day of the signing, Brother Xue You and Sister Mei personally came to the scene to help Ye Zi stand on their feet and cheer, and stayed at the signing site from beginning to end, such support was unprecedented. Sister Mei's friend Liu Tianwang also came in person, and only left the scene after noon, Ye Zi had a good conversation with him, and he has been engaged since then. Lin Zixiang and Huang Kaitan, who have intersected with Ye Zi, also came to congratulate him on this day. The other two kings themselves did not come in person, but they also made a special trip to send congratulatory messages and gifts. In the afternoon, his brother Zhang Guorong, who was like a brother and sister to Sister Mei, came to the scene quietly and did not let the fans and reporters present find out. Sister Mei took Ye Zi to meet and talk with her brother for a while, and received her brother's personal congratulations, which made Ye Zi almost happy to death!

Brother is Ye Zi's favorite and most admired singer!

Because of his brother's arrival, Ye Zi was extremely satisfied with this signing!

On this day, because of the gathering of many Xiangjiang singers, the signing site almost became the scene of another awards ceremony, and the M ring HMV who provided the venue was surprised, and immediately signed a lease contract with Tai Wenhui for the signing venue of Ye Zi's third album with a price reduction of 20%. The time item is empty, and it will be finalized by Wenhui Entertainment.

……

From the next day, Ye Zi's second album maintained sales of about 7,000 copies every day, reaching the platinum record data in just seven days, once again surpassing the 8-day record set by Chen Yichen. In fact, the total number of sales on the sixth day had reached more than 49,800 copies, which was only a little short of the standard of 50,000 copies. This little gap made Ye Zi feel stupid, but it made Chen Yichen cry out for luck.

If it is six days to break the platinum, it will be too difficult for Chen Yichen to catch up!

The high sales in the first week also brought about a typical herd effect, and Ye Zi's second album is still unstoppable in the Hong Kong market. The biweekly double platinum data not only made Chen Yichen, who had always been hard-mouthed, speechless, but also dumbfounded the Xiangjiang media - they never thought that a Chinese album and a folk style Chinese album could actually achieve such appalling results in the Heung Kong market, which is dominated by Cantonese songs!

Appalling?

And that's not all.

In 50 days, Ye Zi's second album took the four platinum sales into his arms, and Xiangjiang media went completely crazy. If it took half a year for Ye Zi's first album to increase sales to four platinum, it is still acceptable to Xiangjiang Media, but ...... 50 Days Four Platinum? Not even two months? That would break the bottom line of their cognition.

It's normal for Brother Xue to do such a thing, he is the emperor superstar, and his "Kiss Goodbye" album has won a sales record of 1.36 million copies in the Taiwan Strait market, and no one will think that Brother Xue You, who has sold 200,000 copies of 4 platinum in 50 days, can't do it.

It's not uncommon for Sister Mei to do such a thing, she is also an emperor superstar. Sister Mei's comeback album "Woman Flower" is not inferior to Brother Xueyou's head-on, although the sales in the Taiwan Strait market are not as good as Brother Xueyou's "Kiss Goodbye", but the sales of more than 1 million copies have made Huaxing Records make a lot of money, and Sister Mei's strong comeback has also been declared a great success. The sales volume of four platinum in 50 days is also not a problem for Sister Mei.

But...... The 200,000 sales of 50 days and four platinum copies are associated with the name Ye Zi, and all reporters and critics feel that their heads are not enough. Isn't this a singer who has just released his second album? How could it be......

Headaches for journalists and commentators continue to happen.

After a three-month hot sales period, Ye Zi's second album handed over a super answer of six platinums, and the Xiangjiang music scene was a complete sensation! It was also at this time that the term "demonic" began to spread in the Xiangjiang media, and reporters and commentators really had no way to summarize such a surprising phenomenon, so they could only classify the situation as "demonic".

After such a statement spread to the Chinese mainland market, it was unanimously recognized by the Chinese mainland media. Because at this time, Ye Zi's second album had already raised the sales record of the Chinese mainland market to a shocking point with a total of 5.1 million boxes shipped.

This is not the most "demonic".

DD Records followed Ye Zi to launch the "Campus Folk Songs 1" album, which was extremely popular in the national market, and has sold 1.5 million boxes so far. Affected by these two albums, more than ten folk albums have been confirmed in the current Chinese mainland music scene and are stepping up production, including DD Company's "Campus Folk Songs 2", and the production of "Campus Folk Songs 3" has also been mentioned on the agenda.

On TV, on the radio, folk songs have become the most popular genre among fans. In karaoke, the rate of folk songs is moving forward at the fastest speed, and songs such as "You at the Same Table", "Those Flowers", "Youth", "Phoenix Blossoms", "Brother Sleeping on My Top Bunk" and other songs are sung by people.

The folk song trend in the Chinese mainland music scene is surging!

Ye Zi single-handedly led and promoted the formation of this trend and the current grand occasion, which is the most "demonic" thing in the hearts of the media in mainland China. (To be continued.) )
