Although most mainlanders can't understand Cantonese, there is really no barrier to the acceptance of Cantonese songs, and 600,000 copies were sold in the first week, which is similar to that of previous albums.

"Although the sales volume has maintained the same level, I don't think it's optimistic."

After Ai Xiaoqi found out, she said: "This figure is not only from the mainland, but also includes Hong Kong and Taiwan, so isn't it the same for Hong Kong's sales." ”

Of the 600,000 figures, only 50,000 are in Hong Kong, and if you think so, the total sales volume will be at the level of more than 200,000 and 300,000.

"There should be an outbreak, after all, we have almost no publicity in Hong Kong."

Zhang Yao scratched his head and said: "Sister Xiaoyi wanted to cooperate with local distribution companies in Hong Kong before, the reason is that local companies have wider and more convenient publicity channels, although mainland distribution companies can store goods in Hong Kong, but they are powerless in publicity, which is not their job." ”

Publicity has always been done by singers and record companies, and the distribution company will also decide how much goods can be purchased according to the publicity of the former, and if the singer and the record company do not publicize, the distributor's demand will also be reduced.

The sales data is released through a special channel, and those who want to know can see it on the Internet, although this number still makes many celebrities red, but it still allows Ruan Shaokai's fans to find the attack point, that is, the sales problem in Hong Kong.

"Don't be funny, it's only 50,000 sales, and I want to conquer Hong Kong fans. Do you think that with the numbers, you can say that you have successfully developed the market? ”

"I said a long time ago that it was impossible, but now it has been confirmed, pretending to be forced is going to be struck by lightning, and he deserves it."

There is a lot of ridicule on the Internet, and many people are an afterthought, as for whether it was really said before, who knows, but there are really a lot of people who make a lot of nonsense.

"I've watched too many cartoons, do you think that combining them can increase your combat effectiveness? What about being bundled together, I conclude that the sales of this so-called joint album will not exceed 200,000, do you think there are so many idiots in Hong Kong? ”

This idiot. Of course, it was to scold Zhang Yao and Ai Xiaoqi's fans by the way. The sales volume of 200,000 is already double platinum in Hong Kong. But this number is indeed not enough to be considered a big hit.

Some people are extremely ridiculous, and even Zhang Yao and Zheng Xiao's joint album have been dragged and repeatedly attacked, but this is a surprise for the fans of the two.

The cover of the album is a picture of the two hugging each other. On the front is Zhang Yao, who shows his face. He hugged Zheng Xiaoyi tightly. can only see Zheng Xiaoyi's back, and the back of the cover is just the opposite, Zheng Xiaoyi is holding Zhang Yao. Expose the front.

Both of them closed their eyes, looking happy and happy. The introduction of the two also adopted what Zhang Yao said before, that is, Zhang Yao & Zheng Xiaoyi, and then the name of the album cannot be defined.

"I can't define, what kind of fuss is this? Is this Zhang Yao or Zheng Xiaoyi's album? ”

The fans who rushed to the video store for the first time were confused after getting the album, and at this time, "Acacia in the Wind and Rain" was playing in the video store, which was a familiar and unfamiliar voice for fans.

Of course, the voices of Zhang Yao and Zheng Xiaoyi will not be unfamiliar, but people really haven't heard Cantonese songs before the two of them, and they can't react for a while.

"Actually, this album belongs to the two of them, you can go to the audition machine over there and listen to it."

The boss smiled and explained to fans that he had the same expression when he first got the goods from the distributor, and that he had seen more Hong Kong movies at his age than many young people, and he was more receptive to Cantonese songs.

And not a day later, not a day when I was drunk, I loved you, thank you, thank you again, and thank you until I was full. Although few people can fully understand the meaning of the lyrics without seeing the lyrics, the beautiful singing voice is still intoxicating.

"Don't pay attention to those fools, Zhang Yao and Zheng Xiaoyi released an album together, isn't this worth getting excited about?"

"It's really exciting for the two to release an album together, but it's not just that, I can't define the Cantonese songs of this album, but it's definitely better than many Hong Kong singers."

In addition to fans, even the score given by Gramophone magazine has not been lowered because it is not a Chinese album, and it is even higher than the previous "Zhang Yao You Don't Know".

9.4 points, once again entered the platinum hall, which made many people who are not very interested in Cantonese songs stunned, if it were not for the authority of "Gramophone" magazine, I am afraid that Ruan Shaokai's fans would say that Zhang Yao and they would buy off the judges.

"Since the Hong Kong music scene has slowly fallen silent, people have rarely been able to hear such high-quality Cantonese songs, and if it is just a song classic, of course, it will not get such a high score."

"It is impossible to define that every song is enough to be called a classic like the previous albums released by Zhang Yao, and the popularity of those songs has proven this, and it will definitely stand the test of time."

"The same is true of this Cantonese album, whether it is sung by the two in duet or solo, each song is amazing, even more than some previous Chinese songs, it is hard to imagine that this is created by non-Cantonese singers."

"If anyone thinks that the magazine's rating is not objective, they can ask the opinions of those kings and queens in Hong Kong, such an album is even more irresistible to Cantonese-speaking people."

This is the frontispiece of Gramophone magazine's review of the album "Undefinable", written by the editor-in-chief himself, and a summary of the comments of other music critics.

"There are enough praises, but it's a pity that the influence of Gramophone magazines is only in the mainland, and no matter how good it is, it has no effect on sales, isn't it just as useless?"

Ai Xiaoqi was even more worried than Zhang Yao and Zheng Xiaoyi, and said: "You will go to Pengcheng in a few days, what if there is no improvement in Hong Kong?" ”

"Don't worry, we're going to Pengcheng and not to Hong Kong."

Zhang Yao said: "Pengcheng is also the mainland, I have been to the demon capital, Sister Xiaoyi has been to Pengcheng before the publicity, don't worry that there will be no fans at that time." ”

Ai Xiaoqi's worries are a bit unfounded, and after the sales statistics in the second week, Hong Kong immediately began to grow explosively, with sales soaring from 50,000 to 150,000.

This also made the album's total sales soar to nearly 800,000 in the second week, which is already a difficult achievement for many Hong Kong singers to achieve in Hong Kong.

"According to a report by Hong Kong's Apple Daily, Zhang Yao and Zheng Xiaoyi's new album "Undefinable" has ushered in explosive growth after a tepid week, relying on good word-of-mouth word-of-mouth."

Zhang Yao's grievances with Ruan Shaokai have been the focus of media attention, although they have been denied, but media reporters have already identified it, so naturally they are also extremely concerned about their achievements in Hong Kong.

"It is impossible to define the complete detonation of Hong Kong, Hong Kong Oriental Daily uses the madness of the whole city to describe the popularity of this album, this kind of achievement that most Hong Kong singers can't do, and it is the first time for mainland singers."

People are not in Hong Kong, Zhang Yao doesn't know how popular it is, anyway, domestic media and magazines are vying to report it, and they all say they are stunned.

At this time, Zhang Yao and Zheng Xiaoyi had already been assigned to Pengcheng, and unlike the previous propaganda, they would stay in Pengcheng for at least a week this time.

First of all, it is still a publicity campaign, and then there is a singing club, which has been deliberately postponed for a while, which is specially prepared for Hong Kong people, to see if there will be Hong Kong people who will come to participate in the singing club.

At the propaganda meeting, the reporters interviewed were not only local to Pengcheng, but also reporters from all over the country followed, and they also felt that the two of them came to Pengcheng unusually, and someone immediately asked: "Zheng Xiaoyi, hello." As far as we know, the two did not have a thorough publicity plan for this album, why did they come to Pengcheng? ”

"First of all, Pengcheng is a first-tier city, and this is a Cantonese-speaking area."

Zheng Xiao also said: "I can't define it as a Cantonese album, that's why we came to Pengcheng, and it's also the reason why we don't plan to go to other cities to promote it." ”

"There is news on the Internet that the two chose Pengcheng because they couldn't enter Hong Kong, so they could only retreat and choose Pengcheng, which is the closest to Hong Kong, is there such a reason in it?"

"This journalist friend, this question is funny, we are not terrorists, how can we not enter Hong Kong."

Zhang Yao said with a smile: "If you want to go, you can get a Hong Kong and Macao pass and sign a permit, and we go to work, and we can stay for a while longer than other visas, don't you say?" ”

Zhang Yao was completely changing the concept, and the reporter then asked: "The two of them said before that they wanted to enter Hong Kong, so why didn't they choose to go to Hong Kong for publicity?" ”

If you want to open up the market of a place, it is indispensable to go to that place in person, and you don't see that when many Hollywood blockbusters are released, the main creative members have to go to the Great Celestial Empire to promote and build momentum.

Zheng Xiao also said: "It's true, we really want to enter Hong Kong, which is also the original intention of releasing this Cantonese album, and we will also go back to Hong Kong, but there is a sequence of time." ”

"Cantonese is also known as Cantonese, so you can understand it very well?"

Zhang Yao then said with a smile: "The place where Cantonese is spoken is not only Hong Kong, but also belongs to the farther side, we don't need to go through any procedures when we come to Pengcheng, let alone a visa, of course, we also take care of the fans here in Guangdong first." ”

It's a beautiful excuse, and although these reporters know that this is not the case, they just can't find a thorn in it, because everything makes sense.

Of course, these reporters will not give up digging for inside information because of this, so it will not work in another way. (To be continued......)
