Chapter 30: Silence

In this way, Lin Zhimo's first chapter music album was launched to the market without any publicity methods, and no one knows whether it will sink to the end or turn into a butterfly.

Later, Lin Zhimo once said in an interview: "At that time, one was young and more impulsive, and the other was very confident in his music, and I believe that everyone will definitely like my music, so I released the film like this, thinking about myself at that time is really stupid, haha." Thankfully, we succeeded. ”

Lin Zhimo naturally didn't know how many years later he would say the above words, but now he didn't have the slightest confidence in his performance, and chased behind Xu Wenfang, who was in charge of publicity and outreach in the company, urging her to keep asking the distribution company about her record sales.

After Lin Zhimo made a few phone calls, Xu Wenfang was troubled, and finally directly handed over the phone number of the distribution company to Lin Zhimo and asked him to ask the distribution company directly, so that he could be idle.

The people at the distribution company got impatient and sneered: "Yo, a singer like you who doesn't have the strength to do promotion still dreams of reaching the sky in one step?" I'm telling you, if you want the quality of your music album to sell a thousand copies, you can burn high incense! ”

Lin Zhimo was angry, but a week later, the other party actually took the initiative to call over, and his tone was full of excitement: "Ah, congratulations, the sales are good!" ”

Lin Zhimo was also excited in his heart, and just about to say something, he heard the other party laugh wildly on the phone: "Wow, you sold more than 200 copies, amazing, amazing!" 252 sheets, which can be counted as 300 if rounded, hahaha! ”

Lin Zhimo couldn't wait to drag the man out of the phone and beat him up, but in the end he sighed and hung up the phone amid the laughter of the other party, because the sales of more than 200 copies made Lin Zhimo really not in the mood and confidence to say anything big.

In this way, in the first week, the company responsible for the release of the record summed up a number, 252 copies, which is the total sales of Lin Zhimo's first album in Yanjing City in one week.

Obviously, according to the feedback from the market, the sales are not very good, or to put it bluntly, the sales are dismal.

After Lin Zhimo received the news from the other party's undisguised laughter, his psychology was under tremendous pressure, and he began to constantly wonder if he was thinking about the public's music taste, maybe the public didn't like his music style?

In the second week, sales were a little better than the previous week, but they still didn't exceed 1,000 copies, and the final frame was 738 copies, so the voice over there still revealed a strong sense of irony.

After Huo Xiwen got the news, he comforted Lin Zhimo and said as if comforting himself: "It's okay, it's okay, don't you see that the sales figure is really increasing, this is good news." ”

At these times, Huo Xiwen's pressure was less than that of Lin Zhimo, after all, she still came up with the idea, so the two of them looked a little haggard in the past two weeks.

In the third week, as if deliberately mocking Huo Xiwen's words to comfort Lin Zhimo, sales actually began to decline, and the final number given by the manufacturer was 699.

Lin Zhimo sat in Huo Xiwen's office and said with a wry smile: "Could it be that pirates actually take a fancy to an album like me, which only sells more than 1,000 copies? ”

Huo Xiwen also blamed himself, sitting next to Lin Zhimo and not knowing how to respond.

Lin Zhimo remembered that he had spent three months looking for inspiration for this album, and he had to sort out the music scores in the gap between running and learning rock and roll, and even once had a fight with someone because he didn't know what to do, if he didn't run fast, he would almost be caught by the police and squatting in the number.

Thinking about it, Lin Zhimo's eyes were a little moist for the first time. "I'm really unproductive, I can't bear such a little blow." Lin Zhimo thought and rubbed the corners of his eyes.

Huo Xiwen was full of guilt when he saw Lin Zhimo's actions on the side, and said with self-reproach: "Zhimo, I'm sorry, I ......"

Lin Zhimo took a breath and said, "Sister Wen, don't say I'm sorry, it's nothing, our album doesn't sell well and there is another one, isn't it, I guarantee that the quality of the next album will be even better than this one!" ”

Huo Xiwen felt even more guilty when she heard Lin Zhimo say this, but she was also a little overwhelmed in the face of such a situation.

People in the entertainment industry often say that as long as there is news, it is good news, unless you publicly publish some anti-human words in the media, otherwise any negative news will become good news under the operation, so what artists are most afraid of is not any scandal negative news, but no news.

Like Lin Zhimo's record now, no one praises or slanders him, and some just turn a blind eye, which is the most helpless.

Lin Zhimo stood up, stretched his waist with both hands, and said with a smile: "The sun goes down, it will rise tomorrow, it's not a big deal." ”

Looking at the warm smile on Lin Zhimo's face, Huo Xiwen suddenly felt that this usually steady and humorous boy was just a nineteen-year-old boy after all, and some things were still a little too heavy for him to accept.

Huo Xiwen walked to Lin Zhimo's side, naturally stretched out his hand to help him dust off some dandruff from his clothes, smiled gently, and said seriously: "Zhimo, I believe in you, I believe that your talent will sooner or later shock the entire music world." ”

Lin Zhimo looked at Huo Xiwen's soft face, and suddenly had an urge to hold her in his arms, and asked with a stammer: "Sister Wen, I ...... Can I give you a hug? ”

Huo Xiwen was stunned for a moment and looked at Lin Zhimo.

Lin Zhimo's eyes were still dark and deep, but Huo Xiwen vaguely saw a hint of pleading in them.

Huo Xiwen's heart suddenly softened, and then nodded shyly.

Lin Zhimo lightly stretched his arms and hugged Huo Xiwen's delicate body into his arms, and a fresh fragrance wafted into Lin Zhimo's nose, Lin Zhimo whispered softly in Huo Xiwen's ear: "Sister Wen, my next album will definitely be better, right?" ”

Huo Xiwen's eyes were slightly red when he heard this, and the softness in his heart was gently touched, he reached out and patted Lin Zhimo's broad back gently, and said like a child: "Zhimo, I believe in you, no matter at any time, you will radiate your light, you will eventually surprise everyone, I always believe in you." ”

Clamping Huo Xiwen hard, Lin Zhimo said again: "Sister Wen, thank you." ”

……

Cao Zikai, nineteen years old, is a rock music lover, often appears in the major underground music scenes in Yanjing, although he is young, he can be described as a senior rock music fan, but Cao Zikai also has an interest in panning discs, especially from abroad, which is regarded as a treasure by Cao Zikai.

On this day, he was about to go to a party of rock fans, and while walking on the street, he heard someone next to him call him: "Cao Zikai, Cao Zikai!" ”

Cao Zikai turned his head and saw that he was the owner of a video store next to him, this person Cao Zikai also knew, he had opened a store here for four or five years, and there were many albums in the store, both genuine and pirated, but most of them were pop music that Cao Zikai didn't like, so he just said lightly: "Oh, it turned out to be Boss Li, are there any new discs?" ”

Boss Li smiled: "I don't know you like rock music, you see, I specially bought a disc for you from the distribution company, which sounds exciting." ”

Cao Zikai pursed his lips and said, "Boss Li, do you think we can hear the taste of the two of us together, since it is not an occasional fall, then continue to be busy, I still have something to do." With that, he turned and left.

Boss Li hurriedly stopped him and said: "Listen to it, listen to it, although it is not a plate from abroad, but the quality is really good, and it will definitely not delay your time, I will put it for you." ”

Cao Zikai was embarrassed to refuse directly for a while, and said indifferently: "Okay, I'll give you a face today, and I'll listen to it for a while." "Actually, I made up my mind, listened to a few lyrics, and left.

But when a high-pitched and passionate musical instrument hit came out, Cao Zikai's idea of leaving was dispelled, and then, the sound of a war horse neighing sounded, Cao Zikai suddenly felt that the hairs on his body stood on end, goosebumps rose, and the body that was originally standing at the door of the video store involuntarily walked in.

"In the crowd of people, there are you and me, meet and know each other, ponder ......"

As the music sounded, the expression on Cao Zikai's face became more and more excited, and when he was halfway through the song, he suddenly said to Boss Li: "Stop!" Let's cut the song to the outside stereo, so it's not exciting to listen to! ”

"Good, good." When Boss Li saw Cao Zikai like this, he smiled happily, knowing that this album was definitely going to be sold, and it was not one, because with Cao Zikai's surname, he would definitely call his friends to buy it together, so Boss Li was obedient to Cao Zikai's request.

However, when the music was really switched to the stereo outside the video store, a scene surprised Boss Li appeared.

The people who were originally walking on the street seemed to be suddenly stumbling on something, and they all slowed down, and as the music played, more and more people walked into the video store and asked Boss Li which song it was, who sang it, and whose album it was.

Boss Li was overjoyed, and quickly took out all of his albums, and then said: "The name of this album is 'The First Me', it seems to be sung by a singer called Zhimo, each of the songs in it is very classic, the song style is varied, there must be which one you like." ”

Soon, all ten albums were sold out, and even the one that was being screened was bought by Cao Zikai, but looking at the crowd in the store still waiting to buy, Boss Li's heart was bleeding all the time, and it was all the money that was rushing to run into his pocket.

Boss Li was annoyed by this, if he had known that there would be this effect, he would not have put this album in the store for two weeks, otherwise wouldn't he have sold much better?

After selling all of Lin Zhimo's albums, Boss Li pondered, no, he needs to hurry up and buy them, and he has to buy more before other video stores know about it, and the other music on this album seems to be good, maybe it should be played outdoors more.

Brothers and sisters, collect and recommend it!
