Chapter 43: Sales Explode
Boss Luo's call came on Thursday, and by this day, all the 30,000 he had booked had been sold out, and this time he opened his mouth to 50,000, because it took some time to distribute the goods, and the 50,000 yuan was not on the shelves in the second week.
The other two filmmakers were relatively cautious, and they observed for a while after the volume of 5,000 per person was sold, but they also called Boss Luo, and the two added 10,000.
The first batch of this EP was made for 200,000 yuan, and half of it has been sold so far, in addition to the 40,000 yuan pre-booked earlier, the second batch of 80,000 yuan is already the market price of 20 yuan per sheet.
The total price of the 40,000 pre-sold tickets is 600,000, and the additional 70,000 is 1.4 million, if Zhang Yao's dividends are not counted, Zheng Xiao has now returned to his capital, and this news also makes them happy.
"Sure enough, Boss Luo has the courage."
In addition to being happy, Ai Xiaoqi couldn't help but praise, and Zhang Yao said: "Although this is not what we expected, but Boss Luo dares to do this, he must have something to rely on, and he must have full confidence to do this." ”
"How did I forget this stubble?"
Zheng Xiaoyi suddenly slapped his palms and said: "Before, we only stared at the reactions of Hatsune fans, and we forgot to see what the reputation of the EP was. ”
Rhythm Network is similar to Douban music in the original time and space, as long as it is a platform for album evaluation and fan communication, the scoring system of Douban movies can show the reputation and popularity of a movie, and the same is true for rhythm music.
Rhythm represents the fan netizen group, while "Gramophone" represents authority, and each album has an authoritative music critic to comment and score, both of which are important references for fans.
Zheng Xiao also immediately appeared on the rhythm music, and the newly released albums were displayed on the homepage, and Zhang Yao's EP and Wang Weihan's album were naturally among them.
"Sure enough, we have an EP rating of 9.5."
Seeing the content clearly, Zheng Xiao also showed some excitement that did not match his age, Zhang Yao's EP had more than 10,000 ratings, and more than 90% of those who gave five stars accounted for more than 90 percent, and the others were all four stars.
On the other hand, Wang Weihan's "Wang Music", the music album sells a lot, and the number of critics is also more, but the score is only 4.8 of Keling, and the five points of praise account for 6 percent.
The water army will have an impact on the authenticity, but this impact can also play a role in a short time, after all, no matter how many water armies there are, they can't be compared with the majority of netizens, and the water army will only be submerged in the end.
Eighty percent of the people who rated Wang Weihan were two-star and three-star, and there were many one-star ones, and there was even more scolding in the comments, some scolding the album for rubbish, and some scolding the water army for dying the whole family.
"Sure enough, the most talented are netizens, and even scolding people is so sharp."
Ai Xiaoqi looked at the schadenfreude of the comments without an image, Zhang Yao couldn't help but laugh at it, and at the same time had palpitations, netizens on this rhythm music were too vicious, and what made Ai Xiaoqi so excited was a comment that ridiculed Wei Han as a crazy teenager.
It's nothing to borrow the name "The Boy in the Wind", what is spicy is the content of the paragraph, Wang Weihan doesn't know how he will feel after seeing it.
"Gramophone" magazine is also very ten-pointed, Zhang Yao's EP is still as high as 9.3, which is still a little short of a full score, but more than nine points is considered a platinum palace level, and there are less than ten albums that can score more than nine points in the past five years.
"It's a unique EP, and until now we didn't know who Y was, but that doesn't stop us from judging him."
"Judging from his voice, Y should still be a young man, which can also be seen from the songs, and his mature singing skills that can hardly find flaws also add a lot to this EP, or it can also be said that he has not ruined these songs."
"The clear pond, the tall banyan tree, the noisy Zhili, the butterflies on the swing, the stern and kind teacher, and the girl in the next class who has been silently paying attention but never daring to open her mouth to get to know each other, this scene instantly brought me back to my carefree childhood."
"I think most of my childhood was the same, playful, full of curiosity and questions about shijie, looking forward to growing up soon...... In this EP, two songs are about childhood, and two songs are about dreams, both of which are rare classics. ”
Gramophone magazine's music critics were unsparing in their praise of the entire EP and carefully analyzed each song, the most acclaimed of which was "Childhood".
Compared with Zhang Yao's EP entering the platinum palace, Wang Weihan's score is only 4 points, two points short of reaching the passing line, music critics don't even bother to write comments, readers can see at a glance that they are completely disdainful, such a result is already defined as rubbish.
Seeing these contents, Zhang Yao finally found the feeling of sitting firmly in Diaoyutai, and said: "In this way, there is no need for us to promote it anymore, and it is impossible for Golden Disc Entertainment and Tianyin Records to ban us." ”
"No matter how capable they are, they can buy different gramophone magazines, and those media have to think about it themselves when they want to ban it, if they don't report on the album like this, will there be authority in people's hearts."
Ai Xiaoqi continued: "Now that the sales have exploded, it is certain, and suddenly I feel that Boss Luo has only added 50,000 to further test the waters, and the record that can be judged by the gramophone is not more than two million sales." ”
Although there are many people in the mainland, because of the late start, the market has not yet been fully developed, coupled with the impact of digital music, the sales of more than 2 million are already very rare achievements, and they are generally king-level superstars.
"So, it's time for us to make a move next."
Zheng Xiaoyi smiled and said: "We only have 100,000 stocks now, so if we don't contact the audio-visual products company quickly, it will be insufficient to supply the market." ”
Although they expected that the sales would explode, the real outburst was beyond their expectations, and from the third week of the listing to Tuesday, Boss Luo's phone called again, and all 50,000 copies had been sold out.
The other two overly cautious filmmakers finally stopped retaining it, and the opening was 200,000, but unfortunately the inventory was only 100,000, and all of them were given to Boss Luo, who had the right of first refusal, which was only a fraction of what he wanted to order.
Although it was out of stock, Zheng Xiaoyi still promised the boss that she would notify them as soon as the printing was out, and then she quickly contacted the production company, and the number of productions this time was one million.
When Zheng Xiao was also busy, the statistics for the third week had come out, plus the first additional 60,000 and zuihou's inventory of 100,000, Zhang Yao's EP sold a full 160,000 this week, and Wang Weihan's album dropped directly to less than 30,000.
The filmmakers who have been interviewed before except for Boss Zhu really can't pull his face, or maybe he didn't come because his relationship with Tianyin Records was too haode, and the other filmmakers came directly to the studio to ask for goods.
Before, these guys didn't give any face, but now Zheng Xiaoyi naturally won't have a good face for them, the situation has become different, strange goods can live, and they are afraid that they won't be able to scold?
"Miss Zheng, I beg you, I still can't sell the 50,000 inventory of Tianyin Records, if I can't get your agency again, I will lose your money this time."
Why did you go earlier, Zheng Xiaoyi snorted in his heart at the filmmaker's crying request, and then said: "Our inventory has been emptied, and the second batch is still in production, I don't know when it will be good, and it's useless for you to beg me again." ”
"Please Miss Zheng be sure to leave some for me, I can increase the price to twenty-five yuan each."
"It depends on the situation, and I can't answer you right now. I still have something to do, so I won't greet you, and I'll call you to talk about it when the time comes. ”
There are more and more filmmakers who come to block the door, and Daybreak Studio doesn't even have a security guard, and Zheng Xiao also refuses to meet, and these filmmakers will forcibly break inside, and a few little girls can't stop them at all.
There is really no way, Zheng Xiao can only run out to avoid the limelight, anyway, there is nothing to do now except for the audio-visual products company to step up suppression, and it will not be affected.
In addition to the small filmmakers who have been interviewed before, the large filmmakers also expressed their wishes, and Zheng Xiao did not immediately agree, nor did he completely refuse, after all, these filmmakers also have more channels, and can even enter the Hong Kong, Taiwan and Southeast Asian markets, which cannot be done by Boss Luo.
Although the entanglement of the film dealer is annoying, after sitting in the café and quieting down, Zheng Xiaoyi also enjoys this situation very much, how many years ago has it been since the last time he was so sought after?
Because of the timely preparation, the printing was completed one after another while the listing entered the fourth week, and one million copies were sent to the filmmakers in batches, of which Boss Luo accounted for the heaviest and got 400,000, which was already the limit of what he could digest.
The other two small filmmakers who participated in the first batch of reservations, Zheng Xiaoyi, also did not treat them badly, meeting their needs of 200,000 each, the number of 200,000 was too small for the big filmmakers to look down on, so they distributed it to those who had been interviewed at the beginning.
Although of course they don't give face and make Zhang Yao feel a little unhappy, but it is worth it to see their begging faces these days, and this is business, and after slapping the face, you can't get along with money, not only money, but also the future development of the studio.
In the fourth week of its release, Zhang Yao's EP sales exploded to 500,000, while Wang Weihan's sales were less than 10,000, and it was not bad for a newcomer's debut album to sell more than 200,000, but it was a complete defeat in the ring with Zhang Yao.
