Chapter 340: Dispatch an assistant to do record market research

Before the TV premiere, everyone will be extremely nervous, because everyone is worried that the ratings will not meet the standard, and they will be infamy;

Before the premiere of the movie, all the crew members will pray in their hearts, because they are afraid that the box office will not be satisfactory, or the evaluation will be too low, which will affect their star career.

And for singers, they still have a big hurdle to pass before the record goes on sale, and that is pre-sale.

It's really unclear when the pre-sale will be implemented, because this thing has also spread from Europe and the United States.

So, what is the purpose of the presale?

It's actually quite simple, it boils down to one purpose - to investigate the market outlook.

A very popular star publishes a record, and if he directly publishes 500,000 copies regardless of it, what if he can't sell it at that time? This is not only a waste of cost, but also a loss of face!

On the contrary, a first-line star, due to the current sluggish record market, he did not dare to publish CDs on a large scale, so he got 200,000 copies, and who knew that his record was a hit? Then, when the market is in dire need of genuine CDs, record companies need to take the time to print urgently, but by this time, the D version of the CD and a lot of free music sources on the Internet are already everywhere, how many more CDs can you sell?

So it can be seen from this that the pre-sale of the record is actually a survey of the popularity and expectation of a singer, which will quite accurately reflect how much market value the singer's record has.

For example, a king singer has 500,000 pre-orders, and then the record company is also very confident about the upcoming CD. It's going to catch on. So. They can print 1 million finished products for the first time and send them all over the country, and there is an 80% chance that this number will be sold out in one wave.

As for whether the second batch should be printed and how much, it depends on market feedback.

For example, if a singer's pre-sale is 100,000 copies, then it is obvious that his or her record will not be able to print out a million copies at one time, and at most 300,000 copies will be remarkable. No matter how much there is, there is a risk of unsalable, and it is likely to be smashed in the hand.

In the end, this pre-sale is actually a very crucial part, if your pre-sale results are good, easily break through 500,000, or even 1 million copies, then OK, your record sales can at least 1 million.

If the pre-sale volume rises slowly, and tens of thousands of tickets are pre-sold in half a month, you have it. Most of your scores won't exceed 500,000.

After all, this is not the last century. The current D version is really rampant.,It's too careless.,Especially the network audio source MP3 this piece.,Can't help it at all.,You go on sale on the first day.,The next day you can search for a lot of free download pages.。

In this case, in fact, the pre-sale volume is likely to be the final sales, which is a great double!

And at 9 o'clock this morning, Brother Chic's "Chic Xing" finally ushered in the first critical period.

――Dividing Line――

"Dashing boy, you don't seem to be too worried? I can still sit still, I admire you a little! ”

Xie Tingfeng, who had gauze wrapped around his hand, walked over coolly with a cup of coffee, and he was accompanied by a beautiful pregnant woman with a big belly, who was his wife Zhang Baizhi.

Brother Chic put down the script in his hand and stood up from the recliner, smiled at Zhang Baizhi, who was slightly blessed on his face, nodded, then looked at Xie Tingfeng, and said with a smile: "Brother Feng, what do you think I should do?" Today is only the first day, and there is still a long way to go! ”

"Don't you feel worried?"

Xie Tingfeng hugged Zhang Baizhi in his arms, and the latter gave him a blank look, but Xie Tingfeng didn't realize it, and said a little speechlessly: "This is your first record, right?" Are you really that calm? If the numbers weren't too good, wouldn't you be disappointed? ”

The dashing brother spread his hands: "Do you think I won't be worried?" ”

didn't wait for Xie Tingfeng to speak, but he looked at Zhang Baizhi and said, "CC, when you released your first record, were you nervous?" ”

"Hey, you should call her Mrs. Xie!" Xie Tingfeng issued a solemn statement on the side.

It's a pity that Zhang Baizhi ruined his aura, and said in her unique slightly hoarse voice: "At that time, my main positioning was actually in the film industry, but I have liked singing and acting since I was a child, so I was quite nervous about my first record!" ”

"So Brother Feng heard it, right?"

Brother Chic said with a smile: "CC's mood is actually my mood, but I know that nervousness has no effect, so I won't think about it so much, anyway, once the number comes out, there will be relevant news on the Internet, newspapers, and TV." ”

Xie Tingfeng twisted his head, looking casual, but Zhang Baizhi looked very interested, and said: "Chic boy, do you do other things besides filming every day?" Why didn't you see the news that you went out shopping? ”

"Actually, I really want to appreciate the beauty of Hong Kong."

Brother Chic said frankly: "I grew up watching Hong Kong movies since I was a child, and I have dreamed countless times about how beautiful Hong Kong is, but unfortunately, although I have the opportunity now, my identity does not allow me to go casually, otherwise, it is likely that it will not be me who visits Hong Kong, but Hong Kong citizens who visit me." ”

"Yes, celebrities are really too free!"

Zhang Baizhi also sighed with deep sympathy: "Since the pregnancy was exposed, I have never gone out alone, because there are always paparazzi squatting outside the door, once they go out, they will definitely come to a large number of people to follow, it's really annoying." ”

"Okay dear, let's go and sit!"

Xie Tingfeng really attached great importance to the pot-bellied Zhang Baizhi, for fear that she would have an accident, so he stood for a few minutes, he hurried back, and at the end he said to the dashing brother who was a little disapproving: "Dashing boy, good luck, strive to be popular on the first day, more than 500,000 pre-sales!" ”

Zhang Baizhi didn't look back, but also said: "Strive for the record to be a big hit!" If you want to promote in Hong Kong, remember to give me a signed CD! ”

Watching the celebrity couple talk and laugh and return to their rest area, someone couldn't help but blink their eyes with envy, if Zhang Shaohan could come to Hong Kong to accompany him at this time, how good would it be?

Of course, this is just thinking about it, around the Intercontinental Hotel where he temporarily stayed in the past two days, the number of reporters is definitely terrifying, most of them are paparazzi, if Zhang Shaohan comes, he is really afraid that his relationship will be exposed!

I took out my phone and looked at the time, it was just over 10 o'clock at this time, so there was also an hour before his record was pre-sold.

"The mainland shouldn't need to worry, so will places like Hong Kong and Treasure Island be a little more lively?"

Brother Chic muttered, and suddenly came up with a solution, looked left and right, but saw Li Minghao walking over with a big bag of snacks and drinks, and was about to distribute them to the crew, he hurriedly said: "Don't be busy yet, your task today is to go out and take a look at the video stores in Hong Kong, large and medium-sized, and see if the pre-sale status of my records in Hong Kong is okay." ”

After finishing speaking, he thought for a while and said: "Take a taxi, don't take the bus, go back and get the invoice and I'll reimburse you, strive to transfer a few more points, ask the shopkeeper or salesperson about these, be sure to be accurate." ”

"Haha, it's a good errand!"

As soon as Li Minghao heard this, he couldn't help but almost jumped.

He has been busy with the crew for the past few days, and he has no time to go out to visit Hong Kong, but he doesn't want to get the opportunity now, and he is wandering alone at his 'public expense', which is rare?

Seeing his happy appearance, Brother Chic couldn't help but have black lines on his head, as for being so excited?

"Nothing else, right? Then I'll go. Li Minghao couldn't wait.

"Go, go! Pay attention to safety, I heard that there will be a lot of black and chaotic in Hong Kong, you should be careful. ”

"Got it!"

Li Minghao waved his hand, ran away with a strange scream, and soon disappeared around the corner.

Damn, this guy doesn't look like my assistant to a big star at all! It's so unstable.

After complaining twice, he turned to the crew members and shouted, "Everyone, if you need snacks and drinks, take them yourself!" First come, first served, don't blame me for not having the rest. ”

Before his words fell, several guys ran over, they were all miscellaneous personnel of the crew, the same as essential oil, where there was a shortage of people, they existed.

"Tang Sheng, I'm going to xiexie you again! You've been buying it for us every day these days, and it's funny. A somewhat non-mainstream young man said with a smile holding a bottle of drink.

Several other guys also thanked him again and again, all of them were very flattering and chic, plus the people who came later, for a while, everyone was thanking him, so that someone could only smile and say: "Don't say so much, it's a little meaning, hurry up and start work after eating and drinking, be careful that Director Chen is angry!" ”

"I'm not a tyrant, you kid is speaking ill of me behind my back again!"

Brother Chic looked back, but saw that Chen Musheng and several other directors had come over, and Chen Musheng was looking at him angrily.

"Didn't I tell everyone to hurry? I didn't speak ill of you! ”

Brother Chic said with a smile: "It's just right, there are still a few bottles of drinks, Director Chen, you can use them slowly!" ”

"I don't dare to drink these things, I'm old, I'm afraid of diabetes!"

Chen Musheng sat down on the chair next to him as he spoke, exhaled quite comfortably, and stretched.

He didn't dare to drink it, but the other crew leaders were not afraid, and one of them took a bottle and drank it.

Among them, an assistant director wiped his mouth with a smile and said in a somewhat negotiable tone: "Dashing boy, if your record is a big hit, shouldn't we be invited to the Peninsula Hotel to enjoy it?" I really miss the best double-headed abalone and swiftlet's nest there! (To be continued......)
