Chapter 52 Two-Week Sales
"See, he's here again." In the Being company, Zhou Xiao sat on a chair in the corner and did nothing, although he couldn't hear anything specific, but the strange eyes around him were like needles stinging his skin.
Yes, he's here again, and after "selling" 96 CDs last week, he's shamelessly listening to sales.
"A Little Love", which will definitely be moved to the corner this week, will it sell 1? Or 2 sheets? Or is there no data at all?
Although this is a single released by his own company, everyone has the mentality of watching the excitement, especially when they have not participated in the production of this song, Zhou Xiao's youth, Zhou Xiao's "self-determination", how can everyone in their eyes not have a trace of the psychology of watching the excitement.
In fact, Zhou Xiao could not have come, let alone these irrelevant people in the company, even he himself would not feel that in just the second week, his songs would be a big hit.
Coming by yourself in this situation will give people the impression that you are simply here to be embarrassed.
Mai Kuraki and her agent also didn't come.,In the early 2000's singing sister war,Mai Kuraki was the weak side of the standard.,And the reason is not musical.。 Mai Kuraki represents the traditional way of treating music, she is low-key, quiet, and rarely does anything other than sing. Ayumi Hamasaki, on the other hand, is a truly irreplaceable superstar born in Japan in response to this era, she is not only a representative of music, she is a representative of the media, a representative of television, and a representative of the times.
Zhou Xiao has a lot of future music in his head, but first of all, it is important to note that unless there are really no singles to sell, Mai Kuraki and being can only change the direction of the music in a small range at most, and those in Zhou Xiao's mind are not without millions of singles that will inevitably become popular, there are also super popular singles that have been on the karaoke chart for dozens of weeks, and there are also those who become famous at the red and white song party, but none of these songs are suitable for Mai Kuraki. As a brand-new artist, Zhou Xiao may be able to change his image and style every time, but for a singer like Mai Kuraki, or even a company like being, random changes represent a very big adventure.
No one can go against the times, so there is no one who can help Mai Kuraki win this battle.
Last week's singles between the two proved this, in this situation, the company and Mai Kuraki themselves were a little unable to sit still, and they began to look for shows that they rarely did publicity in the past, trying to hit sales again, maybe it's impossible to win Ayumi Hamasaki, but at least don't lose too much.
So, Mai Kuraki couldn't show up today because she went to record a music program with her agent.
After waiting for more than ten minutes, Zhou Xiao and the whole company finally waited for the sales figure.
Zhou Xiao...... "Little Love"...... Sales...... 104 ......"
Kindness? 104 shots? Nagato Daiyuki, who came out of the office, wanted to listen to the sales of Mai Kuraki, and he wanted to go back after listening to it, in fact, even Nagato Daiyuki felt that Zhou Xiao was likely to sell a few eggs this week. Even if it is not zero, the number is likely to decline significantly.
But who would have thought that Zhou Xiao's order not only did not decline, but also sold 8 more?
After thinking about it for two minutes, Nagato Daiyuki asked the secretary to connect with the staff of Oricon.
"I'm being the long family of Daxing, I want to check the sales of our company's singer Zhou Xiao's singles this week, not how many are sold, but the distribution of sales." Nagato Daiyuki said.
After a while, the person who inquired came back and picked up the phone and said: "Mr. Zhou Xiao's sales this week only have CD sales in seven CD stores, but among these seven, six have sent applications for renewal, and hundreds of CD stores, including those that sold CDs last week, have no sales at all!" ”
Nagato's brow furrowed.
Generally speaking, after a single is released, its sales will go downward, the difference is that some people sell for a long time, and some people only sell well in the first week.
Are there any singles that buck the trend? Yes! But not much! And it can be said that there are not many in particular! In the past two weeks, without any exposure or activity for Zhou Xiao, the single not only did not disappear, but sold a few more copies? If Mai Kuraki has this kind of contrarian growth in sales now, maybe everyone in the company will be laughing crazy at this moment.
However, now the question arises, what does it mean that several CD stores have sold out of their inventory due to the growth of bucking the trend? It means that Zhou Xiao's song does have the potential to become popular, and if you seize the opportunity, you may really be able to make some achievements.
But...... Nagato Daiyuki felt that if this possibility did appear, it would undoubtedly go against his original thoughts.
If Zhou Xiao's first CD becomes popular, how will the company control him? What if he really thinks he's gifted and doesn't listen to him at all?
"One of the biggest dilemmas of the company now is that there are not enough singers who can do it, if Zhou Xiao can become popular, it will be a perfect contract for the company......
But...... can't just see the good in front of him, if Zhou Xiao is really popular, with the contract he signed, it is impossible to be controlled by the company in the future, what if he leaves being after three years? Even what if he moves to another company at that time? In that case, doesn't it mean that being is making a wedding dress for someone else? Nagato Daiyuki thought.
Do you risk pushing him from behind, or do you hold him down?
Nagato Daiyuki is faced with a major choice that concerns both him and Zhou Xiao.
After thinking about it for ten minutes, Nagato Daiyuki finally picked up the phone: "Zhou Xiao's CD is not in stock, let the CD stores communicate with each other!" ”
He didn't increase the number of CDs, nor did he contact any media about playing songs.
Nagado Daiyuki can never be regarded as a bad person, he has single-handedly founded being and has personally cultivated countless singers over the years, and his tolerance of these singers is also famous, in the company, rock has been the only means of speaking over the years, and it is with his acquiescence and connivance that the company has cultivated such a large number of rock singers who do not play songs and do not go on TV, but have high sales.
So when treating Zhou Xiao, on the one hand, he has cultivated as a company decision-maker all year round, and his consciousness of "which road is more suitable for the company", and his understanding of the company and the music scene, makes him feel that it is very good for the company to suppress Zhou Xiao and make good use of Zhou Xiao. But on the other hand, he did have the so-called "conscience" uneasiness, which did not affect him too much, but it did make him a little more tolerant when he finally dealt with Zhou Xiao's matter, and did not say that the matter was dead.
Zhou Xiao didn't know Nagato Daiyuki's decision, after hearing that his CD sales not only did not sink completely but also increased slightly, he walked out of the company, and today he has another thing to do, that is, to go to the magazine.
That's right, "Meteor Trip", which has been coding words since the beginning of the crossing, is finally completed.
Because he is not in a hurry, so Zhou Xiao does not need to make such a thing as breaking into the magazine, he follows the most standard submission method, the real manuscript has actually been completed last week and sent to the weekly Wenchun, Zhou Xiao went this time, it was sent after the other party reviewed the manuscript, and he was about to enter the formal negotiation of the serial contract.
Zhou Xiao actually doesn't care much about publishing a book, and now that he writes a novel, he has many birds with one stone, but he has not become a writer.
The first purpose is that he needs money very much, and the second purpose is that Zhou Xiao only knew after Uncle Inoue said it, that is, the identity of a writer is a category that many media are not willing to touch, and Zuihou's purpose is that these novels in Zhou Xiao's mind are all adapted from TV series, and he may not care much about the income from writing books, because it takes too much time and energy to become a perennial selling writer, but in terms of TV series, if it can really be developed, The money earned is not comparable to being a small author, coupled with the prestige attached to the TV series, this is what Zhou Xiao really wants, especially the benefits brought by Zuihou's killer "Naoki Hanzawa"!
