Chapter 344: A big move prepared by Hong Kong fans
In this life, there are always many times and many places where acting skills will be used.
"Miss, before pre-ordering, I want to ask a question, is it okay?"
Li Minghao walked to the counter and said with a smile on his face.
"Of course! What do you want to ask? ”
"That's it!"
Li Minghao pretended to organize the language, and then said: "I'm going to the United States to study in two days, but I want to buy a record of Tang Xiaoxiao to support him, if I pre-order, can you send it directly to the school in the United States?" ”
"Sir, this is very troublesome!"
The woman was a little surprised by such a strange request from a young assistant, but she still replied with a frown: "We haven't done this yet, and the international shipping fee is several times more expensive than the record itself, I don't think we can help you!" ”
"But I really like Tang Xiaoshi! With his first record, I felt compelled to support him! ”
"Sorry, we really can't help it!"
As soon as the woman finished speaking, suddenly her eyes lit up and said: "You have two ways to choose, one is to find it in the video store in Chinatown in the United States, because this record is distributed worldwide, but we don't know if there is a listing in the United States, and the other is that you ask your relatives and friends to help you pick it up and forward it to you, but the cost is not cost-effective!" ”
"Hey, then I won't order it!"
Li Minghao sighed in disappointment, and was about to leave, but turned around again and asked curiously: "By the way, Miss, can you tell me, have a few people booked Tang Xiaosheng's record today?" It seems that the market reaction is not very good, right? ”
"Dude. You also don't look at what time it is. ”
The woman did not answer. A man behind Li Minghao couldn't help but speak: "Today is not a day off. It's still work time, and how many people are there in this video store? Isn't it normal for a small number of people to pre-order?
Well, that seems to make sense!
Li Minghao blinked his eyes, and then remembered that it was still Friday, and it was still more than 10 o'clock in the morning, who had time to come to pre-order for those who went to school and work?
Sure enough, the woman in charge of the pre-order also smiled and said, "This gentleman is right. This is the coldest time for our business! ”
After she finished speaking, she quickly flipped through the registration page of the computer, and then said: "Although I didn't count carefully, I can see that the pre-order amount of this "Dashing Xing" is still good, it has only been more than 1 hour, and there are currently 4 or 5 customers who have booked, huh?" This record is actually the first place to pre-order today! ”
I don't know if I don't pay attention, but after seeing this, the woman was a little surprised. In disbelief, she looked at the record sheet again, and stretched out her hand to count it. Soon said in surprise: "Really, there are 6 customers who have booked, it is really the first place, 3 more than Hacken (Li Keqin)'s, it's incredible!" ”
I'm rubbing, is it so violent?
Li Minghao scratched his scalp a little strangely, and he couldn't say how strange it was in his heart.
Although it is said that the pre-sale results of 6 are not worth mentioning, compared to the pre-sales of 1 million in Asia at every turn, it is simply scum.
However, on the first day of pre-sale, especially in the deserted hours of Friday morning, such results can be achieved in a video store in just over an hour, so what if it is the prime time of the evening, or even the weekend of tomorrow and the next two days?
, if you follow this trend, if you don't talk about the two days of the weekend, how can you get hundreds of tickets in one store, right?
Although I don't know how many video stores there are in Hong Kong, there are at least 30 large, 50 medium-sized, and 100 small, so what ......is the total number of pre-orders for these video stores?
Hey, I'm afraid my brother is thinking too much!
Li Minghao sighed in his heart, because he learned on the Internet yesterday that the only best-selling record in Hong Kong this year is Jay Chou's "Still Fantaixi", which was released in September, and it has been 2 months now, and it seems that it is only about 50,000 now, and it will only be 60,000 by the end of the year.
He thanked him, then quickly walked out of the video store, and after going downstairs, he took a taxi directly from there to start going to another store.
……
"By the way, Miss, can you tell me, how many people have pre-ordered Tang Xiao's record today? I wonder how many people bought the idol's debut record! ”
"Let me see, there seem to be 4 or 5 of them!"
"Oh! Sorry for you! ”
……
"By the way, Miss, can you tell me, how many people have pre-ordered Tang Xiao's record today? It seems that the market reaction is not very good, right? ”
“…… It's not bad, there are 7 or 8 of them! ”
……
As the saying goes, one trick is eaten all over the world, Li Minghao used the same trick excuse, the same 'performance', and entered and exited more than 7 large video stores in just three hours, and every time he didn't miss, all of them came up with the answers he wanted.
In fact, if it weren't for the fact that every video store was far apart, he might have been able to run more.
"Well, it seems that I did go too early at the beginning, the first few are at most 7 pre-orders, and the least is only 1, but in the back, especially at noon, some students and white-collar workers, they began to enter the video stores near schools and office buildings, so the data of the later two looks much better, and they both exceed 15."
In a fish ball shop, Li Minghao silently tasted the delicious fish balls, and slowly calculated the harvest of the investigation just now.
In general, during the period he just investigated, among all the pre-order records in several video stores, the pre-orders of "Dashing Walking" were the top three, and only the pre-orders of Li Keqin and Wei Lan's records were comparable.
"If you go to ten stores in the afternoon, you should be able to roughly estimate how many pre-sales will be in Hong Kong today, right?"
Just as he finished settling the account and continued to embark on the road of investigation, he didn't know that the administrators of the "Tang Xiaosheng Fan Support Association Hong Kong Branch" had decided to start a collective activity, that is, unified pre-ordering.
That's right, when it really comes to hitting the pre-order volume and sprinting the total sales, the main force is actually not the majority of "retail investors", but the team of fan support clubs scattered by celebrities scattered all over the country!
Because, once they accumulate and concentrate on bursting out all their energy, it will be a big action with absolute market guidance.
You and I scatter to buy, which can't form a visual impact at all, let alone attract the attention of the media, because others don't know whose record you are queuing up to buy, and most people will only think: "Oh, it seems that the record market has been experiencing a sales recovery recently?" There are so many queues to buy records! ”
And if the fans were going to go out in unison - think about that kind of scene!
Outside the video stores, hundreds or even thousands of fans gathered, all dressed in uniform cultural shirts, all of them chatted enthusiastically, while waiting in line for pre-orders, and some fans held small colorful flags and waved constantly, and even banners and slogans.
Under such a grand situation, do reporters dare to take pictures and interviews?
Under this kind of excitement, can't it be said that it can't attract the attention of some "retail investors"?
And more importantly, as soon as they made such a move, after such a fuss, many citizens passing by, people didn't know Tang Xiaosheng at all, but from now on, they must know, and they will be deeply impressed.
On Tang Xiao's fan alliance forum, the number of registered fans on his treasure island is only more than 150,000, but it is increasing every day, hundreds or thousands;
The number of registered fans in Hong Kong is even smaller, only more than 90,000 points, which is also growing every day, and the speed seems to be not slow, it can break 100,000 in about 5 or 6 days.
There are more than 7,000 in Macau, 15,000 in Singapore, 12,000 in Malaysia and more than 3,000 in Thailand.
These regions and countries are places where there is still a market for Chinese records, and a look at the data shows that the number of fans of Brother Chic is very small, except for Hong Kong and Taiwan, the number of fans in other regions adds up to less than 50,000, no matter how you look at it, it is not powerful.
But you know, most of the people who are willing to buy records are actually 'retail investors', because they will be affected by such factors as advertising, word of mouth, and the feeling of audition.
If a singer's song is good, they may buy the record, and if it doesn't sound good or they don't like it, they won't want to spend money.
Therefore, those who are willing to pre-order from Citi are basically loyal fans, and they are convinced that their idol's work will definitely not disappoint them.
However, if it can really affect the final sales of a record and dominate various charts, it is actually up to the majority of retail investors to work together.
The purchase volume of loyal fans is purely a guaranteed sales data, just like the loyal fans of Brother Chic in Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan, Malaysia, and Star City, they are great at making the record "Chic Xing" have a minimum sales figure, and it will not make it ugly.
However, it is unlikely that this data will guarantee the most popular male singer of the year in the local area, and the record "Dashing Walk" will win the top award of the local album of the year.
Therefore, the management of the fan club in Hong Kong, they have already planned in advance that all members will go out collectively, so that the vast majority of citizens in Hong Kong know how optimistic they are about Tang Xiao's works, so as to drive more ordinary fans who are already interested in buying records, so that they can also join in, and strive to make the idol's debut album explode with shocking purchases from tomorrow.
The statistics show that in Hong Kong, there are about 24,000 registered members who have the time and are willing to join. (To be continued......)
