Chapter 654: Reaction
The sales of 9,613 copies on the second day not only made Tai Wenhui a rare gaffe, made Ye Zi a little nervous, but also made the entertainment reporters, music critics and analysts of Xiangjiang collectively speechless. No one could have predicted in advance that Ye Zi, a Chinese album that was not well received, would actually sell such an astonishing number the next day.
Yes, it's amazing!
Generally speaking, when an album is signed on the first day of release, its sales tend to be the highest in the entire sales period, and from the second day onwards, sales will quickly decline, and it will fall to a normal sales level of a few hundred to thousands of copies per day in about a week to ten days. After the two-month hot selling period has passed, this normal level will continue to decline sharply, maintaining a low level of a few hundred to dozens or even just a few per day. Once the six-month sales period is over, the album will basically not be shipped in large quantities, unless it is a good result, then after a few years, the record company can use the latest technology to reproduce and publish, and make another money-making action.
But there aren't many albums like this every year.
Just like Chen Yichen's new album, when the first day of the launch was signed, Quanxiangjiang sold a total of 11,759 albums, which is an excellent figure, especially on the first album of a new singer. But by the next day, Chen Yichen's album's sales in Xiangjiang had slipped to just over 7,000 copies, much lower than on the first day.
This is already a very good result.
On yesterday's "Xiangjiang Entertainment Tracking" program, Remy. It is in accordance with this long-standing practice that Jin also said in the interview that Ye Zi's new album will not sell 2,000 copies the next day. This figure is a bit low compared to the 5,869 tickets signed by Ye Zi on the first day, but it is still within the normal decline range. According to this degree of shrinkage, after a week, Ye Zi's new album will definitely sell more than 200 copies per day, and it will indeed be a little difficult to break through the sales of 25,000 copies of the Golden Record in two months.
But now, everyone is stupid.
Just like Ye Zi kept chattering, can album sales still come backwards? Ye Zi's sales on the first day were 5,869 copies, but on the second day, they rose to 9,613 copies, which ...... This is absolutely unscientific!
If this sales trajectory is followed, what about tomorrow?
Everyone immediately thought of this, so reporters called HMV of M-ring one after another to inquire about the sales of Ye Zi's new album today. As soon as the call was made, all the reporters gasped.
As of 12 noon today, HMV has sold another 219 records, and it is expected to be around 600 for the day. According to the approximate data of ten to one, at the end of the day today, the sales of Ye Zi's new album in Xiangjiang will not be less than 6,000 copies.
More than 6,000? What is this concept?
This is definitely going against the sky!
You must know that today, it is the third day of the album's sale! The sales on the third day can still surpass the first day of signing, which is ...... Does this still make people live? Is this still a Chinese album that Xiangjiang people were not interested in before?
All the entertainment reporters who heard the news all asked such questions in their hearts.
A Chinese album from a non-local new singer, the promotion period is only 50 days, no matter how good the forecast for this album is in advance, it is only two months to exceed the index of 25,000 copies of the golden record, which is still the confidence of the album's producer and singer Ye Zi himself, it is difficult for others to agree with this, but now it only took three days, the sales of this album have exceeded the 20,000 mark, and the golden record index may be reached tomorrow!
Reaching a gold record in four days - such news is not only amazing, but also terrifying!
Although there is still a little gap compared to Chen Yichen's total sales in the first three days, as a Chinese album, and a new album released when the typhoon landed, what this number represents behind can be clearly seen by anyone with a little brain.
In the Xiangjiang song scene, a new singer will emerge who sings Chinese songs! And this will be an excellent singer with future potential no less than Chen Yichen!
In just three days, everyone has seen this clearly.
As soon as they thought of this, those entertainment reporters, music critics and analysts were all refreshed, especially those who knew Ye Zi and dealt with Ye Zi. They once collectively opposed Ye Zi's victory in the singer competition in the three places because of Ye Zi's status as a singer in mainland China, under the leadership of Zhu Hanwen; They also questioned whether Ye Zi had the ability to truly gain a foothold in the Xiangjiang music scene when Ye Zi started to promote the album in early May; They also worked in Ye Zi and Remy. When Kim's bet was made public, the writer doubted whether Ye Zi's new album could sell 10,000 copies.
10,000?
Seeing this number again, these people only felt bitter in their mouths, fever on their faces, and panic in their hearts.
From 5869 on the first day to 9613 yesterday to 6000+ today, these three dazzling data are placed there, this is Ye Zi's silent mockery of these people!
This slap was slammed into the face, and the taste was ...... Who really suffers who knows!
……
Among these people who were slapped in the face, of course, they did not include media reporters who were close to Ye Zi and had a good relationship with Wenhui Entertainment, and there were two of them that benefited the most. One is the entertainment edition of "Cheng Pao", and the other is Lin Liming's "Xiangjiang Entertainment Tracking".
Since the entertainment page of Cheng Pao published a series of reports on "A Pop Singer's Journey to Classical Music" written by Sima Minghui in early June, the entertainment page, which has not been taken much seriously by the newspaper's top management, has finally raised its eyebrows and attracted the attention of the peak. Subsequently, because of the agreement between the entertainment version and Wenhui Entertainment and Sima Minghui, Ye Zi's number one die-hard fan, the entertainment version of "Cheng Pao" has always stood on Ye Zi's side to advocate for him, and has become his most staunch ally in the media.
Now, this investment has finally waited for the day of harvest.
For Ye Zi's fans, because of Sima Minghui, the president of the fan club, and because Ye Zi's news appears the most in the entertainment section of "Cheng Pao" and has the most comprehensive reports, this newspaper has become one of their daily must-buy newspapers. And as the new album continues to sell well, the number of Ye Zi's fans will increase day by day, which is definitely a big gain for "Cheng Pao".
What are the big newspapers like "Cheng Pao" and "Famous Newspaper"? That's definitely more influence and credibility. So what is the source of this influence and credibility? Some people think it's editorial, some think it's coverage, and so on. But either way, there's one metric that is unquestionable, and that's the number of readers.
What Ye Zi has added to "Cheng Pao" is the number of readers!
Even if the increase in readers may only be a few hundred now, with the gradual increase of Ye Zi's own influence, it is possible to increase the number of thousands, tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands, hundreds of thousands, hundreds of thousands of readers.
No newspaper can ignore this.
So as soon as he learned that Ye Zi's album was rising against the market the next day, the editor-in-chief of the entertainment section of "Cheng Pao" called Wenhui, hoping to extend the short-term agreement that was originally only three months, and revealed in the call that the entertainment edition of "Cheng Pao" was willing to become the mouthpiece of Ye Zi's official media.
This is certainly a good thing, a win-win situation!
The second beneficiary is not so much "Xiangjiang Entertainment Tracking", but Lin Liming, the host and program producer.
In the past month or so, almost every high-rated program of "Xiangjiang Entertainment Tracking" has been related to Ye Zi, and the two episodes in which he participated are the benchmarks, and the first episode even broke the ratings record in the history of this show. Yesterday's episode of the show was dedicated to reporting on Ye Zi's signing, as well as Remy. Jin and Ou Dingyu went head-to-head in two interview videos, and the ratings of the program rose sharply again.
For Lin Liming, Ye Zi is really her lucky star, of course she is desperately trying to pull Ye Zi to her show, in fact, the effect of her approach is also obvious. Every appearance of Ye Zi is always accompanied by controversy and confrontation, which is what TV viewers like to see the most. And Ye Zi, who appeared as an image of a weakling, after gaining the audience's subconscious sympathy, was able to win in the end every time, the first time he faced Zhu Hanwen, and the last time he faced Remy. Although the outcome of Kim is still unknown, it seems that the victory is certain from the current situation, and such a counterattack is also popular with the audience.
It's impossible for the ratings of the show not to climb!
Today, Ye Zi's new album has once again achieved amazing sales figures, and Lin Liming, who has tasted enough sweetness, will certainly stick to this situation. It's just that...... When she sent someone to Remy in the afternoon. While filming the interview video in Kim's office, she was surprised to learn that Remy. Kim has temporarily returned to country E for a vacation at noon today, and the return date has not yet been determined.
This is obviously seeing that you are going to lose and slipping away.
It was difficult for Lin Liming to find no one, and she immediately instructed the location crew to interview Remy on the phone. Kim's secretaries, assistants, staff and others were given first-hand information. Subsequently, she edited all these interviews into tonight's program, which was broadcast at the same time as Ye Zi's album results.
Looking at the skyrocketing real-time ratings data on the reminder board held high behind the camera, Lin Liming faced the camera's lens and smiled like an old fox who had stolen a chicken. (To be continued.) )
