Chapter 44: Setting a Record

One million is not Zuihou's number, although the big film companies are not the first time to cooperate, but because of their large scale, they are also more courageous than small film companies, although in the end only one was negotiated, but the number is two million.

"If you print another two million, won't the total sales be 3.2 million?"

Although he never doubted that Zhang Yao would fail, Ai Xiaoqi was still surprised when this data came out, and said: "The sales of 3.2 million are enough to squeeze into the top ten of the all-time best-selling list, and now, including Hong Kong and Taiwan, there are no more than ten Chinese music scenes that can sell more than two million sales, and not every album can sell so much." ”

"Actually, I didn't expect to sell that much."

used to be crawling and rolling for more than ten years, and he didn't even have the opportunity to release a film, but now it is achieved overnight, and Zhang Yao occasionally feels unreal when he is in a trance.

"And it's just an EP, and it's definitely a record for such high sales."

EPs are generally used to throw stones to ask for directions, and generally newcomers can buy more than 100,000 yuan is already considered a success, and then they can prepare for the release of the album, and the sales of more than 3 million are indeed against the sky.

"Although the mainland market is not saturated yet, it can't digest two million."

Zheng Xiaoyi smiled and said: "At least half of Zuihou's two million will be distributed to Hong Kong and Taiwan, Malaysia, and Singapore, and throughout the Chinese music scene, albums with sales of more than two million are indispensable to these places." ”

The markets in Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore and Malaysia are better than those in the mainland, but there are too few people, and even if the market is not good, it is an obstacle to the development of singers, and competition is incentive.

In order to develop more haode, singers in the Chinese-speaking circle have almost collectively gone north, aiming at the mainland population market of more than one billion, which has also promoted competition, and the result is that there are many kings and queens, but no one has been able to claim the title of king so far.

"The EP has set a record, and now all kinds of media are staring at us, and we can't even push it out."

Zheng Xiaoyi smiled bitterly, rubbing her forehead helplessly, this is also a happy trouble, Ai Xiaoqi followed with a smile: "I must be here to ask who Y is, and when will the real album be released, right?" ”

"That's pretty much it."

Ai Xiaoqi nodded, and asked again, "Zhang Yao, what do you think about the album?" In the past, I had to choose to release an EP because of lack of funds, but now that the funds are sufficient, production is not a problem at all, and I can still take advantage of the situation. ”

Sales have created a miracle that is not big or small, Zhang Yao and Ai Xiaoqi have made a lot of money, and it is already very simple to make an album.

However, Zhang Yao said with a smile: "Let's slow down first, after all, people are still interested in the songs in the EP, and we will talk about it when it cools down." And it doesn't have to be now, just write a few new songs in the future and join it, can't you release new songs + compilations? ”

"You've just debuted, and you know a lot about how to make money."

Ai Xiaoqi rolled her eyes and expressed her disdain for Zhang Yao's cheating of money, Zheng Xiao also said: "This is not bad, the album matter will be put aside first, now I not only have media invitations on hand, but also many commercial performances, do you want to take it?" ”

For artists in large companies, they have no choice at all about what activities to receive and when to release records, and singers can't even create here, so many big-name singers will set up their own studios or record companies.

It turns out that Jay Chou's Jewell Music Company in time and space is such an example, Zheng Xiao has also been very lenient since the establishment of Daybreak Studio, not to mention that the soul of the studio is actually Zhang Yao.

"If you take on a commercial performance, your identity will inevitably be exposed."

Zhang Yao thought about it and said: "This gimmick can still be played now, and we will take the college entrance examination next year, so it's better not to accept the commercial performance for the time being, as for the media, please trouble Sister Xiaoyi." ”

"I also think that the longer it drags on, the better, and it would be too mysterious to reveal my identity now."

Ai Xiaoqi agreed with Zhang Yao's opinion, and Zheng Xiao also said: "Commercial performances can be promoted, but there is some trouble on the media's side, and we will not be able to mix up if we don't have a good relationship with the media." I think so, when the EP sales stagnate, we will call the media to have a celebration party, and then Zhang Yao will attend as a songwriter. ”

Generally, sales will cool down after the album is released for a month, but because there is no large-scale publicity, Zhang Yao's EP can be completely excluded from the first two weeks of release, and this strength will continue for at least two weeks.

After the surprise, Zhang Yao also returned to his normal heart and continued his campus life, and now even the media reports are only occasionally watched, even so, he can feel the heat brought by the EP.

When I returned to school on Monday, Zhang Yao and Ai Xiaoqi were surrounded by men and women who had just gotten off work, Ai Xiaoqi was jumped, glared at these classmates and said, "What do you want to do with such a big formation?" ”

"Xiaoqi, aren't you very close to Daybreak Studio, can you help me get an autograph?"

The female classmate took out a Zhang Yao's EP as if she was magical, and said with her eyebrows fluttering: "The song here is so good, I listened to it more than ten times yesterday and I don't feel tired." ”

As soon as she opened her mouth, other classmates also shouted "I want me too" and crowded over, and soon her desk was full of EPs and even a promotional poster.

"Daybreak Studio hasn't released a poster to the public, how did you get here?"

"I bought the EP with the owner of the video store."

The male classmate laughed proudly twice, Ai Xiaoqi couldn't help but roll her eyes, looked at Zhang Yao and said, "It's a pity, although I am indeed very familiar with the Dawn Studio, but I am not from the studio, Y doesn't know anyone, how can I ask you for an autograph?" ”

These classmates were a little dumbfounded when they heard this, and after being stunned for a moment, they shifted their target to Zhang Yao, and said weakly and tentatively: "Zhang Yao, these songs are all written by you, you must know Y, right?" ”

Originally, these classmates knew that Zhang Yao was the songwriter of this EP, and the first time they thought of signing a contract was because of this, but his personnel were too poor before, so the first thing that the classmates in the class thought of was Ai Xiaoqi, and Ai Xiaoqi had no choice but to ask him carefully.

"I do know Y, but I can't tell you who he is because he has a non-disclosure agreement."

Although Zhang Yao didn't mind being a little transparent in the class, the classmates took the initiative to speak, and there was no need to deliberately keep a distance, so he was also very peaceful, which also reassured the students, and they were worried that Zhang Yao would refuse coldly.

"Zhang Yao, can you help me get a sign?"

Zhang Yao's attitude was not as bad as he imagined, and the students immediately made a request, saying: "These songs you wrote are really amazing, now you can hear them on the streets and alleys, and when I came to school this morning, these songs were played on the bus." ”

These classmates scrambled one by one, and Zhang Yao said: "Actually, Y rarely appears in the studio, I can help you take the EP to the studio, I can't say if you can get an autograph." ”

"I believe that Y will definitely live up to our fans, Zhang Yao, xiexie you, I will invite you to dinner at noon."

After getting Zhang Yao's promise, these guys were so excited that they couldn't find the edge, and they expressed their gratitude one after another, so they almost rushed over and kissed him.
