Chapter 256: Backgammon
Chapter 256 Backgammon looks like it only sold 12,000 albums in one morning, which seems to be very few. But Yang Lin and others knew in their hearts that this was only the first wave, and the distribution of goods in many places was not over yet. Afternoon is the peak sales period, after all, only hardcore will buy albums in the first place, and each store has a limited supply, which can create a sense of tightness in the market and increase the confidence of buyers and sellers.
And this statistical result is still incomplete, many video stores do not report sales, however, the total sales are estimated to be 15,000 copies, and the market response is very good.
Now that he has released his own album, Yang Lin has begun to officially promote it all over the country, and the songs in it have long been exposed, but in this way, he has taken a lot of advantage when he hit the charts, and many songs have been directly on the list, and they have not accumulated them at all.
Yang Lin is now looking for a reference is Jay Chou, everything has to be on par with his album "Qili Xiang" last year, Yang Lin and Jay Chou have communicated privately, although the first day of sales is reported to be 110,000, but Jay Chou said that there is moisture, and the real sales are only 70,000.
And Yang Lin's sales are now almost 15,000 in the morning, it is estimated that there will be 20,000 or 30,000 in the afternoon, and he can sell a little more in the evening, and 50,000 yuan is almost 50,000 in a day, which is already comparable to the album released by Jolin Tsai in May.
Yang Lin's first stop now is the north? Jing, it hasn't kicked off yet, and all the publicity will have to wait until the first day of sales comes out. He is now staying in Huayi Brothers and watching the sales news fed back from all over the country.
You must know that Huayi Brothers' first batch of burned CDs is 400,000 copies, and such a large-scale action naturally does not have to worry about the problem of supply, so the distributor only needs to distribute stacks of packaged records to specific distributors.
And some smart shopkeepers ordered 1,000 copies after seeing that the hundreds of copies were sold out in the morning, and he was very optimistic about Yang Lin's album, because he was moved by the "Old Boy" in it.
He is a middle-aged man, and ordinary songs can no longer arouse his interest, but after seeing Yang Lin's album called "Old Boy" for the first time, he was attracted, he himself is a real old boy, especially after hearing the lyrics of the old boy, he actually had a feeling of wanting to wipe his tears.
The lyrics are written in his heart, and after years of hard work, he won one of the largest video stores in Beijing, and gave up his dream in order to survive, but he still remembered it in his heart and did not dare to forget it.
This is a song that only people with a story can sing, he didn't expect Yang Lin to have such a vicissitudes of life as a young man. As the owner of a video store, he naturally listened to all of Yang Lin's songs, but only the song "Old Boy" made him find resonance.
"Dreams are always out of reach, should I give up? It's the rainy season again, and it's spring, where are you. Youth is like a rushing river, I can't come back and say goodbye, only the numb I am left without the enthusiasm of the year???? He leaned on the shelves with his eyes closed, humming along with the songs played by the stereo in the store, and he thought a lot in his heart, his original dream, his original lover, and his current self.
The phone that Yang Lin put next to the chair rang, he turned around, picked it up and looked at the caller ID, it was Liu Yifei. He smiled lightly and was about to go out to answer, while Zhang Qian looked at him with a wicked smile, and then told him with his mouth: take her.
Yang Lin waved his hand, "Go, go, it's none of your business." He walked out of the data monitoring room and came to the staircase.
"Hey, why did it take so long to answer the phone?" Liu Yifei's voice is still as sweet as ever, but there is a little complaint and a hint of coquettishness in it.
Yang Lin held on to the railing with his hand, looked at the dense traffic downstairs, and then said, "It wasn't very convenient just now, I was in the monitoring room." ”
"Ah, I'm not going to bother you, am I?" Liu Yifei's voice suddenly became worried, and Yang Lin could imagine what kind of expression she was looking at now.
Liu Yifei stood in front of the window, she patted her chest gently, and then said: "Isn't today the first release of your album?" Just wanted to ask how your sales were. She said with some coquettishness, not realizing her tone in the slightest.
These two people are not good at expressing themselves, and when they meet, it depends on who is more active.
Yang Lin kept walking up and down the stairs, and he smiled at the phone: "It's only been half a day now, don't be in such a hurry." ”
"Is this a trade secret? Come on, just want to know, and then compare it when I release an album. Liu Yifei stomped his feet, even if Yang Lin couldn't see it, he could imagine the scene at this time.
"It's okay, the sales volume for half a day is 12,000, and it is estimated that it will be a little more in the afternoon."
Liu Yifei said disappointedly on the other end of the phone: "That's it, then when will you be able to sell a million copies, it's nothing compared to the pre-sale." ”
Yang Lin was full of black lines, but he knew that Liu Yifei definitely didn't know about these things, and in the eyes of laymen, it was really not good to sell so little on the first day.
"Actually, it's okay, I bought so many in the morning, and I estimate that I can have 50,000 today, which should be good. At least it's about the same as Jolin Tsai. ”
With a reference, Liu Yifei knew that Yang Lin's results were not only good, but also very good. She stuck out her tongue and whispered, "Really? can be similar to Jolin Tsai, then congratulations. "She is a real person, and she thinks that if she can sell about the same as a little diva like Jolin Tsai, it is excellent.
"Thank you."
The atmosphere between the two was a little awkward, they couldn't find a topic, they were silent with each other, and they could only hear each other's breathing. But both of them felt that the atmosphere was just right, and neither wanted to break it.
"This, this, I still have something to do, we'll talk later." Liu Yifei said in a panic, she looked at Liu Xiaoli who was walking towards this side, and then said softly: "I wish you a big album." ”
"Well, if you have something to do, you should be busy, bye-bye. You hang up first. Yang Lin said very intimately, and his tone revealed unprecedented tenderness.
After Liu Yifei hung up the phone, she touched her somewhat red cheeks, then exhaled, took a deep breath, and a smile appeared on her face, looking beautiful and refined.
After Yang Lin heard the busy sound, he put his mobile phone in his trouser pocket, and every time he finished chatting with Liu Yifei, he had a feeling of relaxation, which he couldn't experience in other people.
The time of the day passed in a blink of an eye, and Yang Lin was still waiting in the monitoring room for the statistical results of the first day's sales in the monitoring room, and more reporters and fans were also staying in front of the computer, waiting for Yang Lin to disclose the real sales.
"That's right, it's more than 57,000?" Zhang Qian grew his mouth, looked at Yang Lin dumbfounded, and asked him, "How many copies did the last album sell on the first day?" Twenty thousand or twenty-five thousand? ”
Yang Lin was also surprised, but he had already guessed that it was more than 50,000, but he didn't expect it to be close to 60,000.
"Wait, this is just the sales of the mainland, the sales of Hong Kong and Taiwan are being counted, and you will be able to see it later." The technician said impatiently, but he was also very happy that Yang Lin was able to sell so many albums, because the company made money, so he had a red envelope and a bonus.
glanced at each other, and the eyes of both of them were full of surprise, plus Hong Kong and Taiwan's should be no problem to break 60,000, right? They also thought that the leak of the album would seriously affect the sales of the album, but they didn't expect it to be such a good first-day sales.
Looking at the mainland, Yang Lin is already the king of sales, even compared with people in Hong Kong and Taiwan, second only to Jay Chou's 70,000, which has become a miracle in the Chinese music scene.
"Come out, incense? Hong Kong's sales volume is more than 2,300 units? A little more, more than 2,900, and the total album sales are 63,000 copies! ”
Yang Lin's heartbeat suddenly accelerated, although he didn't understand why the album sold so much, but it didn't prevent him from being excited. Zhang Qian rushed over and hugged Yang Lin, and the two of them jumped and jumped, excited.
"Congratulations, this record looks like it should be no problem to break one million." "Congratulations, congratulations." "It's worth celebrating, it's a must."
The monitoring room was reduced to a sea of joy, and Yang Lin hugged these people one after another, expressing his joy.
He can't wait to share the news with fans and the media, and when the craze comes out, Zhang Qian will be busy telling the news to the upper echelons of the company, as well as the distributors and distributors at all levels, which is the time to give them confidence.
Yang Lin used Yang Fan's desktop computer to log on to his blog. Beau, who wrote: "Thank you for your continued support and concern, so that my album sold 63,000 copies on the first day, and this honor belongs to you! Absolutely true data, without a hint of water. ”
After clicking post, he leaned back in his chair and smiled in relief. The explosive power of this album is too strong, now it is up to fans to buy it, and then it is up to the quality of the album to attract neutral people and let them buy it.
See Yang Lin's micro? After Bo, there was an earthquake in the entire entertainment industry, 63,000, is another Jay Chou about to be born? The reporter and some agents are rounding around the bush asking whether this is real data, if it is really so much, it will be scary.
And it is not these people who really care about Yang Lin's sales, but Zhang Shaohan, who is about to release an album on June 7. She didn't expect Yang Lin's strength to be so strong, and the albums of the two of them would definitely be compared together.
Zhang Shaohan is also a popular idol, she has good singing skills and a huge fan base, but she still has a feeling of looking up to Yang Lin's first-day sales, and her first-day sales are only thirty or forty thousand at most.
ran into Yang Lin, a freak, and it was time for her to smile bitterly. I thought it was a soft persimmon that could be pinched casually, but Yang Lin suddenly turned into a diamond.
