PS: Thank you for the reward from the students of "Dugu Cece", thank you!

Zhou Kun is a native of Xishan Province, born in seventy-five years, and is a singer who has become famous in the nineties.

However, Zhou Kun did not become popular for long after that, and in the third year after "I Do", Zhou Kun was no longer in the limelight. Although there are occasional record releases and they are relatively active in the music scene, both their popularity and influence in the music world have faded to the point of dispensability.

After 2010, Zhou Kun can also say one or two in terms of qualifications, in terms of popularity and influence, not to mention compared with Gao Huan, the "godfather of music", even the younger generation of singers who have just debuted for three or four years can't compare. A junior like Jay Sun is even more complete with the distance of Zhou Kun a few streets.

It was also in 2012 that Zhou Kun began to serve as a judge in the CCTV talent show "Chinese Idol", and Zhou Kun's popularity returned, and because of his careful guidance and personality comments on the singers, the fan base spread from the post-60s and post-70s to the post-80s and post-90s.

It was also from that time that Zhou Kun became recognized as a powerful faction, and then took advantage of his high popularity to hold forty concerts in China within a year, which was a sensation, and Zhou Kun himself was proud of it and often talked about it.

Powerful singers, powerful actors, and non-powerful singers and actors, the definition in the middle is very vague.

Under normal circumstances, singers and actors who are not dominant in appearance but are very famous are almost considered powerful; Singers and actors who are also famous in appearance are difficult to be considered powerful by the audience, and it is almost impossible without a long period of accumulation, and they are usually labeled as "idols".

Zhou Kun's appearance is not outstanding, but generally very reluctant. It's just because he doesn't have any popular songs other than "I Do", and he doesn't have the opportunity to show professional and deep music knowledge, so he has not been recognized by the outside world.

After two years of sharpening a sword and holding 40 concerts in a row, Zhou Kun is ready to release his first album "Forty Concerts" since 2010. It's a special kind of commemoration.

According to the original plan, "Forty Shows" will be released on July 15.

After two years of preparation, Zhou Kun and the record company are very confident, believing that with his current popularity, although the album "Forty Scenes" cannot be a big hit, it is still very sure that it will sell 120,000 copies. Whether it makes money or not, it's okay to raise popularity and influence again.

Jay Sun and Stephen Zhao suddenly called for a press conference on the launch of the new album on July 12, and Zhou Kun and the record company they cooperated with were taken aback.

An Asian king Jay Sun is enough to overshadow him when he crashes and releases a record. affected the sales of his albums; Coupled with a great writer and genius Zhao Xingchi, the union of the two is not as simple as one plus one, but one plus three, one plus five, multiplied by multiplier to increase influence. In this case, the time when the two released the record collided, which was a disaster for Zhou Kun.

It's just that the time of release has been announced to the public before I thought of it, so Zhou Kun gritted his teeth and said, "Hair!" Why don't you send it? It doesn't matter if he's Jay Sun or Stephen Zhao. It's not like he released an album, and my album won't sell. According to the original plan, the hair is drawn! ”

Although the record company has a headache, it has this attitude with Zhou Kun, so the album "Forty Scenes" was still released on July 15, and "Blue and White Porcelain" teamed up with Stephen Zhao and Jay Sun collided.

In their minds, even if "Blue and White Porcelain" is more anticipated than "Forty Scenes", the sales performance of "Forty Scenes" should not be worse than originally expected.

Things seem to be going their way. The sales of "Forty Scenes" actually reached more than 15,000 copies on the first day, and Zhou Kun and the record company were relieved, thinking: "It's not affected either, I'm worried about it!" ”

Although the sales of "Blue and White Porcelain" sold 1.15 million on the first day, their results are extremely scummy in comparison. The battle scum in the waste scum, but they still began to imagine a better prospect, imagining that "Forty Scenes" sold one or two hundred thousand copies, reached the expected goal, and even broke out surprises.

There is no way, Jay Sun's influence is all Asian, but Zhou Kun only has influence in the mainland of China, except for the mainland, even Xiangjiang and Mazu Island are all unknown.

Therefore, it is not appropriate to compare with Jay Sun, as long as the predetermined plan is achieved, they will be considered successful.

However, when the sales statistics of the next day came out, Zhou Kun and the record company were all dumbfounded, and only sold 3,000 copies!

"How is this possible?" Zhou Kun immediately exclaimed after getting the statistics.

The gap between the first-day sales and the next-day sales is generally not too different, most of the first-day sales exceed the next-day sales, but there are also a small number of next-day sales exceeding the first-day sales.

However, one is more than 15,000 and the other is worth 3,000, so the gap is too big, right?

According to this sales result, the total sales of "Forty Scenes" are not to mention 200,000 copies, and even the minimum 100,000 copies are barely very good.

Fortunately, it was only two days, and there was still a chance to turn the tables around, so Zhou Kun barely calmed down, but the record company couldn't sit still, increased its publicity efforts, and hired a large number of water armies to write advertorials on the Internet.

However, as soon as the sales data on the third day came out, Zhou Kun finally couldn't calm down, and almost vomited blood; The record company was disheartened and began to meet to discuss whether to abandon the promotion of "Forty Scenes" and release records for other singers instead? Of course, no matter whose record is released, one of the topics of the conference must be there, and that is to study the album "Blue and White Porcelain".

On this day, "Forty Shows" only sold 500 copies!

This is a result that hits the street so that even my parents don't know it, and the album "Forty Scenes" can almost be said to be useless.

To say that there was not too much publicity, it is barely reasonable to sell 500 copies on the third day, but the record company launched a large-scale publicity on the Internet by the water army, and it is still this achievement, and no matter how cheeky people are, they are embarrassed to say that this achievement is okay, so it can only be treated coldly.

On the other hand, although the sales volume of the album "Blue and White Porcelain" fell on the second day, it still sold 760,000 copies, and on the third day, it increased without decreasing, setting an astonishing sales of 1.3 million.

In comparison, it's really better to compare goods, and people are more dead than people.

The discussion meeting didn't last long, and the music director of the record company sighed and said: "One wrong step, one wrong step, Jay Sun made a Chinese style, and the audience rushed to listen to it, no wonder we were unlucky." ”

Zhou Kun was also deeply touched, and then said with a wry smile: "As soon as "Blue and White Porcelain" comes out, I'm afraid that in the next period of time, the Chinese style will be the mainstream!" ”

Huaxia style was created by Zhao Xingchi, and now it is hot with Jay Sun, judging from Zhou Kun's eye for music and the lessons learned this time, if there are no one or two Chinese styles in other singers' albums, they are destined to hit the streets, and Chinese style will be popular.
