Chapter 135: Album sales surpass again
The day after Li Lin's album surpassed the princess for the first time, the media reported on Li Lin's album sales against the current, but never mentioned the ring between the princess and Li Lin.
And some small newspapers vaguely indicate that Li Lin and the gold medal record company behind him are suspected of swiping sales.
On the sixth day, the princess's album sales fell again, from 200,000 to 190,000, while Li Lin's new album once again went against the current, rising from 280,000 to 300,000, once again surpassing the princess's album sales, and widening the distance of 110,000 copies.
In terms of total sales, the total sales of the princess are 1.69 million, while Li Lin's is 1.19 million, and the total sales gap between the two is less than 500,000, and the gap is still narrowing.
In meager, post * bar, and major music-related forums, Li Lin's album is being discussed.
And these discussions were almost unanimously positive.
A user with the ID Huang Guowang on the popular music forum commented: "The quality of this album is really good. ”
"Whether you like Chinese style, pop music or rock, you can find the songs you want on this album."
"Even the Ha-Han and Ha-Ri ethnic groups can find pure Japanese-Korean style songs on this album."
"I bet it's going to be a five-star album."
Five-star albums represent all classic albums, but if they are divided according to all classics, then there will be no five-star albums throughout the ages, so five-star albums have another division standard.
That's sales.
Albums that sell more than 10 million can be rated as five-star albums.
"Yes, yes." The user with the ID Mao Xiaoxi sent a reply after reading the comment, "The quality of Li Lin's album is really good. It's a work of sincerity, and although the songs in it can't be said to be the first top, the most inferior songs haven't slipped out of the first-class level. It's an album that's completely above the level. ”
"That's it." The user whose ID is lonely ~ Tianxiang also replied, "Originally, I bought this album for the song "Wolf in Sheep's Clothing", and I thought that this album was only this one song good, but I didn't expect this album to give me a surprise, the first one is above the level. ”
"I didn't buy it in vain."
The princess, who was following the Huaxia Record Association with a middle-aged man, saw the sales data released on the official website, and the whole person seemed to be demented.
"It can't be." The middle-aged man stood up suddenly, "How can Li Lin's album sales still rise." ”
His hands were shaking.
As soon as this data comes out. He couldn't hold it down, after all, the princess was not the master of the media, and being able to suppress it once was already considered a face for the princess by the media. The second time, the media will definitely not give face to the princess again.
And the consequence of being uncontrollable is that the princess's reputation is discredited, and she will not be able to raise her head in front of other kings and queens in the future, and even in front of the little king and queen, I am afraid that even some of the top singers who are slightly more popular will dare not to give face to the princess.
Her status will plummet.
And as a member of the princess's team, he will be completely at the bottom in front of the other heavenly kings and queens.
"What the hell is going on?" The princess who reacted was about to crush her teeth. "Why did his album bounce so hard?"
"Is it the media? No way. Some time ago, the sales of his albums did not exceed 300,000 copies, but now they have broken the sales of 300,000 copies. ”
"What the hell is going on?"
Album sales are generally the highest on the first day, and then gradually decline, and occasionally there will be a rebound and it will not rebound very strongly, and now, Li Lin's rebound is so strong, exceeding the sales of nearly 70,000 copies on the first day, which is an unprecedented thing.
"Maybe it's the wind commentary!" The middle-aged man said cautiously: "On the Internet." Fans who bought Li Lin's album were overwhelmingly praised. ”
"In newspapers and magazines, many music critics and musicians have also praised the album as sincere."
"Someone even labeled 'New Style' a five-star album."
The princess heard this. A sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth, "Five-star album? Is he worthy! ”
Whether it is an all-classic album or an album with tens of millions of sales, in her eyes, Li Lin's "New Style" is not worthy.
"You go to the company and suppress the media coverage." The princess knew that she couldn't suppress the news on her own, so she asked for the company's help, "No matter what, even if it costs me, I don't believe that he will be able to continue to rebound in the next few days." ”
In the office of the gold medal record company, Li Lin, Yang Yifan, Shen Meng, Yang Hao, and Haiqing collided with each other with cups.
The glass was full of beer.
"Cheers!" Hai Qing drank all the wine in the cup and then let out a long sigh of relief, "Li Lin, I didn't expect you to be able to surpass the princess twice in a row, this has a big impact." ”
He was a little envious.
Defeating the Queen of Heaven head-on with the status of a red star is an unprecedented act.
He estimated that from today onwards, those high-ranking kings and queens would probably have to accept round after round of challenges.
"Not only in single-day sales, but also in total sales." Yang Yifan turned the wine glass in his hand.
Shen Meng glanced at Yang Yifan, she knew that Li Lin's transcendence of common sense and the fact that he surpassed the princess's album sales gave him infinite confidence.
"Brother Li." Yang Hao licked his face and leaned in front of Li Lin, "You also create an album for me, and I will try to surpass the princess." ”
Syllable!
Li Lin gave him a popping millet fiercely, "Don't even think about it." ”
"Give me a song do you want to love?"
"Yes, yes, yes." Yang Hao said happily, take a song first, and then ask for it then, day and night, and I'm afraid that I won't be able to make an album? If Li Lin knew what he was thinking at this time, he would probably slap him to death.
"I will fly to Japan tomorrow and South Korea the day after tomorrow to pave the way for your album to be sold in Japan and South Korea." Yang Yifan patted Li Lin on the shoulder, "To sell more than 10 million albums, the Japanese and Korean markets are indispensable." ”
"Japanese and Korean markets." Li Lin's heart sank, the difficulty of breaking into the Japanese and Korean markets was beyond his expectations, his "New Style" was a hit in China, and "YOU" and "Destiny" were favored by the two godfather-level figures of Japan and South Korea, but even so, Japanese and Korean record companies did not come to the door, which shows how strong the barriers to the Japanese and Korean markets are.
Shen Meng sighed, "Don't worry, the Japanese and Korean markets are difficult to enter, but it doesn't mean that it is impossible to enter." ”
"Don't you see that the princess's album was released simultaneously in China and Japan? Otherwise, she would not have created a terrifying sales of 600,000 on the first day. ”
"But unfortunately, her album suffered a Waterloo in Japan, and all the popularity she accumulated in Japan was destroyed."
The princess has not been in Japan for many years to promote, and this time the new album is subject to policy and can only be promoted through online channels, and the sales are not very good, coupled with the quality of the album, the princess's fans in Japan are disappointed in her, it can be said that the popularity she has accumulated in Japan over the years has been dispersed.
"But you don't have to worry, whether it's 'Destiny' or 'YOU' is enough to hold up the whole album."
"I'm not afraid that the quality of the album will not be good, I'm afraid that the publicity will not keep up." Li Lin expressed his concerns, "Japan and South Korea do not allow foreign artists to promote on TV stations, and I am a nobody...... ”
He didn't finish his next words, but everyone knew what Lu Dao meant.
If the propaganda can't keep up, it can only rely on word of mouth, and word of mouth is the most test of luck, if you are lucky, you can have good sales, and if you are unlucky, good music will be buried.
"Don't worry, just try." Hai Qing has been mixed at the bottom for a long time, and he knows the truth that the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment, so he patted Li Lin on the shoulder, "You can sell as much as you can." ”
"Even if it's just a sale, it's earned, isn't it?"
Li Lin smiled when he heard this, "If only one is sold, then Mr. Yang will definitely kill me with a kitchen knife!" ”
"If the two markets in Japan and South Korea don't add up to more than 100,000 sheets, then I will really kill you with a kitchen knife." Mr. Yang said with a serious face.
The sales of 100,000 are placed in the Japanese and South Korean markets, that is, the sales of third-tier singers, not to mention that these are two markets, and the average sales requirement of each market is less than 50,000.
If this can't be done, then he will not consider Li Lin's development in Japan and South Korea in the future.
Li Lin had an idea and came up with a plan, "If we can...... In this way, it can make up for the disadvantage of foreign artists in Japan and South Korea. ”
"Maybe it can be an instant hit."
Yang Yifan pondered when he heard this, Li Lin's plan is good, but there are many resources that need to be invested, if Li Lin can't become an instant hit and album sales can't meet expectations, then the investment will be greater than the harvest.
After all, the barriers erected by Japan and South Korea now ensure that foreign artists have very little channel income except for album sales, and advertising, endorsements, and these roads have long been blocked by policies.
As for commercial performances and concerts, foreign singers basically can't get high prices, and the domestic king has walked out, and it is great to be able to get the appearance fee of a first-line singer.
In such a situation, record companies rarely invest heavily in developing the Japanese and Korean markets for singers, and even if the princess releases a new album, the record company to which she belongs only notifies Japanese fans and does not invest resources in publicity.
But...... Yang Yifan glanced at Li Lin and saw the desire in Li Lin's eyes, he smiled, "Okay, just do what you say." ”
"Great." Li Lin stood up suddenly, the joy on his face was obvious, if this plan can be successful, he will become the first rookie singer in the Chinese music scene to enter the Japanese and Korean markets in the past ten years.
And this will also become the prelude to the Chinese singer's large-scale invasion of the Japanese and Korean markets, and he will also be recorded in the history of the music industry.
PS: It's thundering outside, don't dare to code words, there is only one change today. (To be continued......)
