Chapter 33 Sales are booming
Lin Zhimo's album is on fire, on fire, very hot!
After selling 8,300 copies last week, it sold an astonishing 15,000 copies in the second week, and doubled again to 32,000 copies in the third week, which is an incredible number for an album that has not undergone any publicity and is only marketed by word of mouth.
Throughout the end of July and the beginning of August, the most surprising dark horse in the Chinese music scene was this album called "The First Me", and all of a sudden, whether it was radio, newspapers or new online media, was all about Lin Zhimo's album.
"Yanjing Times" Entertainment Edition: A dark horse in the music world, an album with monthly sales of more than 100,000 copies!
"Contemporary Music Scene": Who is the superstar, the newcomer with the first monthly sales?!
"Weekend Entertainment": A five-star album that was almost buried, the first one I attacked!
"Southern Entertainment Weekly": With a monthly sales of 100,000, is this strength or a clever hype?
……
The hype of various entertainment newspapers and magazines undoubtedly gave Lin Zhimo the best publicity for his debut album, so the sales of "First Me" were stimulated by this to soar again!
By the end of August, the sales of Lin Zhimo's first album had reached a terrifying result of 300,000!
At the same time as Lin Zhimo's album sales grew, countless music critics began to express their opinions in various media.
"We don't care who owns this album, just in terms of the quality of this album, there is no doubt that it is five stars! Whether it's rock or pop music in a few of them, they all exude an aura. -- The famous music critic Da Ke commented.
"This album will become a classic, I have never seen such an excellent album in the music industry for more than ten years, the high quality is really rare...... 'Blooming Life' is full of thoughts about life, 'Fly Higher' reflects the pursuit of the future, and 'Stubborn' is a vivid description of the reluctance to compromise with society...... I only have some confusion about the love song 'When' on the whole album, and I think this song has taken the quality of the whole album down a notch! -- The editor of Dialogue Music published the long review on the front page.
"Let's not talk about the quality of the song for the time being, let's take a look at the singer's own singing skills. "Duplicity" and "Waiting" are undoubtedly the two most difficult songs on this album, but if we listen carefully, we will find that the singer's own control of breath and the change of true and false sounds are very comfortable, just like dancing ballet on a high rope, which is pleasing to the eye! -- "Echo" magazine ingeniously did not pay attention to the song itself, but instead focused on Lin Zhimo's singing skills.
Just when music critics were commenting on Lin Zhimo's albums, these songs also began to become popular among the general public.
Standing on the street, countless people are humming the songs in the album, and there are also many rock musicians in the underground music scene singing loudly "No place to be ashamed", and you are embarrassed if you don't soar the high notes of "waiting" when you order a song in KT......
"Hey, Sesame, is that "First Me" an album you released?" Zhao Wei's voice came from the phone.
Lin Zhimo was sitting on a bench in the park at this time. The light shines through the leaves and casts sparse dappled shadows on the ground. Lin Zhimo tilted his head back slightly, squinting his eyes to enjoy the warm sunshine, and said lazily: "Your information is very slow, Fan Binbin called me just now to congratulate me." ”
Zhao Wei's voice suddenly raised: "What! It's really you! I thought it was a singer of the same name, no, then I have to buy one, why do I have to contribute my strength to your sales. ”
Lin Zhimo smiled slightly and said, "Okay, but isn't it a bit too little to buy only one, is our friendship only worth the price of this one?" At least two! ”
Zhao Wei smiled heartily over there and said, "Okay, two is two!" By the way, Sesame, are you planning to hide your identity as a singer now, why haven't you publicized it? ”
Although Zhao Weiping looked very aggressive, his mind was still very detailed, and Lin Zhimo's plan was inferred from the fact that Lin Zhimo had never participated in any album promotion.
Lin Zhimo said: "Yes, this is the strategy we set at the beginning. As he spoke, he told Zhao Wei what he had thought at the beginning.
Zhao Wei was speechless for a while after hearing this, and said: "I really have to admire your courage, you are really ...... Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers! After thinking for a while, Zhao Wei remembered such a slightly better word.
Lin Zhimo smiled and said, "Do you want to say that I don't know the height of the sky, if you want to say it, you can say it, I didn't stop you from saying it, if you don't say it, how do I know you want to say it, you don't say it......"
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Zhao Wei: "Stop!" Why are you so poor-mouthed? ”
Lin Zhimo said innocently: "Please, this is the line in the film shown by your school, I want you to revisit it, so that you won't be able to answer the teacher in the future." ”
After joking for a while, the two hung up the phone, and after thinking about it, Lin Zhimo still called Su Youpeng: "Youpeng, what are you doing?" ”
Su Youpeng was sitting upright on a chair at this time, and he replied while asking the makeup artist to touch up his face: "Filming, I'm putting on makeup." ”
Lin Zhimo said: "What, I released an album. ”
Su Youpeng congratulated: "Oh, congratulations, by the way, what is the album called?" ”
"The first me."
"Oh, the first ...... What did you say? Ouch, it hurts......" Su Youpeng exclaimed suddenly, but he remembered the recent news he had just seen, and he was so excited that he was pulled off a few hairs by the makeup artist.
"Hey, what's wrong with you, are you alright?" Lin Zhimo heard Su Youpeng's cry of pain and hurriedly asked.
Su Youpeng didn't answer Lin Zhimo's question, and asked directly: "You said that the album of 'First Me' is yours?" ”
"yes." Lin Zhimo replied, and then asked strangely: "We haven't distributed the goods on the treasure island yet, how do you know?" ”
Su Youpeng replied: "Please, it's almost the 21st century now, okay, I can know what's going on over there in the next second, let me find out...... You see, the front page of "Red Apple" made headlines, and the sales of the first album of the newcomer exceeded 100,000. ”
Lin Zhimo smiled proudly and said, "I didn't expect that my influence has reached the treasure island?" Congratulations. ”
Su Youpeng complained: "Why don't you tell me when you release an album, I haven't painted my makeup, and I have to put it on again!" ”
Lin Zhimo and Su Youpeng hung up the phone after greeting for a while, but as soon as they hung up, a call came in.
"Zhimo, is that album yours?" Lin Xinru's tone of surprise came over.
"Haha, you also know, it seems that I still have a very promising future as a singer!" Lin Zhimo smiled narcissistically.
Lin Xinru said: "Is it really yours? I just said that who else has such a bad name but you. ”
Lin Xinru did not hesitate to stab Lin Zhimo.
Sure enough, one sentence completely extinguished Lin Zhimo's arrogance, and Lin Zhimo had no choice but to change the topic and ask: "What is the big beauty busy with?" ”
"I'm practicing Mandarin!" Lin Xinru's tone revealed a sky-high resentment, which could be felt even if Lin Zhimo was in Yanjing.
"Oh, why?" Lin Zhimo asked curiously.
It turned out that since Huanzhu Gege was broadcast on Treasure Island, the ratings have repeatedly broken records, and the audience was very satisfied with everyone's performance in the play, but they didn't know what was going on, and one day someone found that Lin Xinru actually had a dubbing voice in the play, not her original voice.
Now the audience was unhappy, and all kinds of criticism came over.
Lin Xinru even came forward to explain in person to suppress the audience's doubts, but because of this, she has been practicing Mandarin pronunciation hard for a while.
Lin Zhimo heard Lin Xinru's complaint and came up with an idea: "The most important thing to learn a language well is to speak more, or I will call you more." As soon as the words came out, I felt a little ambiguous.
Lin Xinru didn't think much about it, but still refused: "No, my boyfriend is going to be jealous." ”
Lin Zhimo breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Then you can watch more Mandarin videos or something, it's just a pronunciation problem, it won't be difficult." ”
The two chatted for a while and hung up.
