Chapter Forty-Nine: Deserted Sales
In the United States, only when an album sells 500,000 copies can it be considered a "gold record", and only two gold records, that is, 1 million copies sold, can be called a "platinum record".
In the United States, the pinnacle of the record industry is to obtain RIAA certification, and record sales reach 10 million copies, which is the level of 10 platinum records, which can be called 1 diamond record!
Diamond records are the highest status in the music world in the whole world, and Huaxia, only the existence called the god of songs, has a diamond record certified by the RIAA!
The rest, at most, only have domestically certified diamond records!
In China, at present, whether it is the mainland, Hong Kong or Taiwan, the definition of record is only one-tenth of that of the United States!
The sales of 50,000 copies are a gold record, and the sales of 100,000 copies are a platinum record, and the sales of 1 million can be called a diamond record.
If you want to be certified by the RIA to obtain a diamond record, Menjie estimates that it is a question whether he can be in this life, which is very difficult, but if you want to get Huaxia's diamond record, it is a lot easier, but for a newcomer like Menjie, it is also quite far away.
According to the market, generally speaking, 80% of album sales are concentrated in the first month, about two months later, which is probably the final number of the album.
If it can't create a sensation in the first week of listing, it will be difficult to climb the sales rankings, and it will not be able to produce a publicity effect and an inertial buying effect.
Before the release of the new album, Menjie was also confident that he would become a rookie in the music industry, but now, whether it is Menjie or Zhao Dong and other people in the team, the mood is not very good, and the enthusiasm for work has plummeted.
Before I knew it, five or six days had passed since the album was released, and these days, Menjie was frantically holding his own album release party every day in several cities with a relatively large population base.
It's not that I don't want to hold large-scale events such as fan clubs and concerts, but after all, Menjie is not very famous now, and if you mess with these activities, it is very likely that the response will not be good.
However, these days, although the effect of Menjie's efforts has gradually improved, the speed is still too slow.
On the first day of its release, the Menjay album sold 12,000 copies, and the next day it slipped slightly to 10,000 copies.
For the next four days, Menjie's album was in a tepid state, and on the fifth day, it was only increased to 16,000 copies.
In six days, about 80,000 records were sold, and if the next 25 days are still at this rate, even if there is a slight increase, I am afraid that Menjie's album will eventually stop at about 400,000 copies.
The number of 400,000 is already a surprise number for many ordinary second-tier singers, but for fairy tales with top songs, it does not reach 500,000, which is garbage to the extreme!
In this regard, Menjie is also very powerless.
His current sales are inferior to the pre-sales of some first-line singers and top singers.
This kind of garbage achievement made Menjie a little depressed, and he only felt that his efforts had not been rewarded at all.
It took two months to record the album, and in order to break through himself, he also paid a lot of experience, and the Tianwang system cheated to provide songs for Menjie, and the support of top mainland companies like Huayi Brothers, but finally got such a result.
Although it has reached the level of a gold record, it is far from what I expected at the beginning!
At this time, Menjie only knew that if an album wants to sell well, quality is indeed one of the aspects, but it can't let the masses know it, but there is no way.
Only by letting the masses know that you have released a new album and are willing to pay attention to it, can the quality be at its highest, otherwise everything will be a floating cloud.
At present, because of the disadvantage of publicity, there is no way to increase sales, let alone the expected six or seven hundred thousand, I am afraid that even the 500,000 record sales guaranteed by Huayi Brothers will be difficult to achieve!
When he had nothing to do, Menjie also clumsily used the hotel's computer to log in to various websites, wanting to see the comments of fans and music critics.
It's okay not to look at it, but this time, Menjie suddenly became even more depressed.
Maybe it's also because of his own fame, and the number of comments from music critics is not much, but everyone is more or less disparaging.
Le Min: "It's not a fairy tale, it's a puzzle"
From this record, we heard a big boy's illusory fantasy about the fairy tale world and the martial arts world. This kind of expression, what we perceive, may be more of a sunny side. It must be agreed that he is trying to find answers to certain questions in life.

Blue Butterfly: "Hold on, it will definitely be better!" 》
In "Fairy Tale", Menjie created a prince charming and a chivalrous image of happiness and revenge, a completely positive image, which complements the title of gentleman, and strives to control the momentum of daring to be himself and insisting on being himself, bringing out a new impression of him for many music fans. Although the impression is not colorful...... Score:

Zi: "How long can it last?" 》
The current Chinese music scene always has such a strange habit, and likes to label songs and singers with titles such as "xx wind". Who knew that such a label would make the singer unknowingly fall into a frame.

Lao You: "Fairy Tale is a Road of No Return"
It's not that "fairy tales" are eternal pure innocence - while sticking to "fairy tales", expanding the popularity of works, and striving to tap the depth and thickness of "fairy tales", perhaps this is the best way out for Menjie.

Flowing Water: "When the Fairy Tale Prince Becomes a Chicken Rib"

Although he only read the music reviews on one website, looking at these professional reviews, Menjie's heart was a mess.
Although there are also good music reviews, Menjie naturally set his sights on the bad music reviews.
After thinking about it for a long time, Menjie probably understood.
His album is far from the current mainstream pop and RB genres, and the genres in the album are too simple, only love songs and classical songs, which are not as diverse as most singers.
The disadvantages, basically that's it, as for the advantages, Menjie also took a few looks, all of which said that the voice of Menjie was praised as having a fairytale-like feeling, giving people a sweet feeling.
In fact, at the beginning, Menjie didn't want to make his album only have two genres, but at that time, Menjie points were scarce, and in order to produce high-quality works, he could only choose two genres.
After a general understanding of his own points and problems, Menjie also secretly thought about it.
I have to say that after obtaining the Heavenly King system, he easily obtained the role of Song Qingshu in Heaven and Dragon Slayer, and was valued by Zhou Xingchi Xingye and was about to star in kung fu.
"Hey!" Sighing slightly, Menjie didn't have any way.
Now that the album has been released, there is no other way, and now Menjie can only resign himself to fate and actively promote himself, striving to make the album sell more and earn more points, so as to prepare for the next album.
However, although I learned about my own problems and was ready to correct them as much as possible on the next album, now, my depressed mental state cannot be easily changed.
Even because of the poor sales of the record tickets, when it was his turn to appear the night before yesterday, Menjie didn't go to watch it, and yesterday he was also doing a mechanized signing activity, working all day.
After returning to the hotel last night, Menjie felt haggard and fell asleep in a daze while lying on the bed.
If you are in a bad mood, even if you are working in an ordinary stressful job, you will feel very tired and tired.
"Jingle bell bell!"
Early in the morning, Menjie suddenly remembered a piercing alarm in his ears, because he felt too tired after a day of work yesterday, and his head was slightly painful, Menjie entered a half-dreaming state, slapped the alarm clock, and prepared to continue sleeping.
"Ding!"
Just as he was about to continue to rest, Menjie heard a burst of electronic synthesis sound in his ears, and he was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly listened carefully.
If it weren't for some special achievements, the Celestial King system would not have a sound to prompt Menjie.
"Record sales reach 100,000, complete the minimum standards, open the works column, please explore by yourself!"
Ticket sales exceeded 100,000? Columns?
Menjie was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help but wonder.
Menjie remembered that when Zhao Dong reported to himself the total sales of records yesterday morning, there were only more than 81,000 records, and the growth rate was stable at about 15,000 copies per day, why did it suddenly exceed 100,000?
Puzzled in his heart, Menjie also opened his Tianwang system, looked at the data in the Tianwang system, and was stunned in place.
Menjie remembers that when he landed on the Tianwang system the day before yesterday, the total number of his fans reached about 35,000, and now he ......
It has grown by tens of thousands to a full 55,000 in one fell swoop!
Regular fans: 55,000, 1,800 loyal fans, and 16 die-hard fans!
Such a number increased by five or six percent compared with the day before yesterday, which suddenly surprised Menjie in place.
And at this time, the frequency of the growth of Menjie's fans is also extremely fast, almost every second or two will increase an ordinary fan, which makes Menjie a little confused.
What's going on?
Suddenly, Men Jie rang and the system prompted him to open the work library he had just opened, and Men Jie hurriedly opened it and found that there were only two options in the work column.
TV series "Heaven and Dragon Slayer": The highest rating is 5.3%
Album "Fairy Tale": The total sales volume in mainland China is 112,000 copies
"What's going on?" Widening his eyes as he looked at the two items in the column, Menjie had a sense of doubt.
Heaven and Dragon Slayer, because Menjie said in advance, Yang Tao sent a message yesterday, saying that the ratings have reached a new height, reaching the level of 5.3%, which Menjie knows in his heart.
But the album Fairy Tale sold ...... in mainland China
Menjie remembered that the number counted by the company yesterday morning was only 81,000, and it only took a day to reach 112,000?
In the past, there was a maximum increase of 16,000 in a day, or because Menjie was tired and tired of signing and selling, could it be that yesterday a day, an increase of 31,000? Are you kidding!
Could it be that the Heavenly King system has been pumped? But no matter what, the points, Menjie has really gotten them, and that's the most important thing!
Although I don't know what's going on, but about the points obtained from the release of the album, Menjie can receive them at any time, and after a little glance, he has accumulated 1550 points because of his singing skills and acting skills that have broken through to C-level.
Then, because of 55,000 ordinary fans, 1,800 loyal fans and 16 die-hard fans, it brought another 746 points to Menjie, and the total number has reached 2,296 points!
And these points, not only now, it is now April 2004, and when it comes to seven months, in November, that is, in the second year of the opening of the fan column, Menjie can also get a lot of extra points brought by fans, which are precious points for sustainable growth.
The points of 2296 points are enough for Menjie to exchange a lot of skills and songs, plus there is no filming or recording for the time being, so there is no need to redeem anything, so it is temporarily put down and not consumed.
Because of this, Menjie is also ready to keep the more than 1,000 points brought by the album "Fairy Tale" for himself, not to withdraw them for the time being, and to use them when needed.
Anyway, if it exists in the Tianwang system, it won't be lost, so there's no need to take it out in a hurry!
But if you count the points that the album brings to yourself......
Menjie's points have reached more than 3,000 points, which can be described as rich compared to himself a few months ago!
And Menjie believes that with the passage of time, whether it is the album "Heaven and Dragon Slayer" or "Fairy Tale", they will be able to achieve greater success, bring more points to themselves, and have more fans!
