Chapter Seventy-Four: Don't Wave
On Wednesday, Ye Yiqing's new album "Night Night Night" was released as scheduled, and Penguin Music uploaded two title songs "Dark Fragrance" and "Night Night". The rest of the new songs will be uploaded to Penguin Music in the next few days.
As for the physical album, that's a fan benefit, as long as fans are willing to spend more money, they can buy it early and listen to all the songs early.
After school, Lu Xiaosu took a taxi to Huaxin Bookstore, and sure enough, the popular students were still not as good as the first-line singers.
Huang Minghao was given a poster in the bookstore, but Ye Yiqing didn't have this kind of treatment. There is also a small banner, but the location is not as conspicuous as Huang Minghao's poster.
Looking at the banner that was only half the size of the poster, Lu Xiaosu couldn't help but smile. Poor Ye Yiqing, the status of the rivers and lakes was completely crushed by Huang Minghao.
But that's right, when Ye Yiqing released his first new album last year, the promotion of major platforms was still quite large. After all, not long after he came out of the talent show at that time, his popularity was still very strong, and everyone did not forget the amazing performance of this champion in the show, and they were still looking forward to his new album.
After all, Ye Yiqing in the show is covering other people's songs, and no one has heard his own songs, so he is still full of curiosity.
That album did sell well, it belonged to the first-tier and second-tier sales, Tianfang Entertainment saw that Ye Yiqing's momentum was so good, and the resources immediately tilted and smashed on him crazily.
Even as a giant in the record industry, Tianfang Entertainment does not have many first-line singers signed, and if it can create a popular student with first-line singer sales, then the company's profits are terrifying.
It's just a pity that the results of several singles tested this year are not very ideal, not bad, and they are stable in the sales of second-tier singers, but they are still so far away from first-tier singers.
The only song "Autumn" with good results was originally in the third place on the new song list, and the sales could be higher. Then he didn't stay for a few days, and was cut in half by Lu Xiaosu's "Sunny Day".
It's no wonder that Ye Yiqing was resentful of Lu Xiaosu at the beginning, and the effect of Penguin Music's list bonus is still obvious. This is also the reason why fans are willing to spend money to make charts for their idols.
And this new album Ye Yiqing is looking forward to it, and he also knows that relying on two albums to rush into the front line is tantamount to a fool's dream, for so many years in the Chinese music scene, this status quo is rare. His requirements are not so high, he just wants to go further, at least closer to the first line, not stand still in the second line.
Lu Xiaosu quickly found Ye Yiqing's album "Night Night", although it was also placed on the first row of shelves, it was still incomparable with Huang Minghao.
They are placed in the most conspicuous position at the entrance, and as soon as you walk in, you can see piles of albums and posters. Ye Yiqing's album needs to go a few steps back to find it, this is the gap between the first line and the second line.
"The photo is a little too much!" Lu Xiaosu looked at Ye Yiqing's slightly feminine handsome face on the album cover, and couldn't help but smile.
Naturally, he has seen Ye Yiqing himself, and he looks really good, but the traces of this cover P picture are still very heavy, but it doesn't matter, fans like it anyway.
He took a closer look at the album, only to see a line of small print at the bottom of the album cover.
"The title songs "Night Night Night" and "Dark Fragrance" are designed by the new genius Lu Xiaosu and tailor-made!"
Lu Xiaosu was stunned, he didn't expect that his name could be used on the album cover as a promotional selling point.
"Huh! Classmate, are you here to buy an album again? The female clerk was a little surprised, she was also on duty today, but she didn't expect this handsome high school student to come again in a school uniform.
She was very impressed by this high school student, not only because the big boy was very refreshing and handsome, but also because this guy threw Huang Minghao's signed poster into the trash in front of her yesterday.
You know, the probability of a signed poster gift is 1 in 20, and many unlucky fans don't even buy ten albums and don't get the poster, but the big boy bought it but threw it away.
If some of Huang Minghao's fanatical fans see it, they may go through the trash can.
She's been working here for a long time, and she knows how crazy a lot of starchasers are.
"Well, I heard that Ye Yiqing's album is on the shelves, I like him a lot, so I'll come and take a look." Lu Xiaosu said and waved the album in his hand.
When the female clerk saw that there was another business coming to her door, she was immediately full of enthusiasm. This teenager was very happy to buy the album, but she still adhered to the professional ethics and sold a few words.
"Classmate, there are more than random signed posters in this album, uh....." Speaking of the signed poster, she was stunned for a moment, almost forgetting that this boy threw one yesterday, although I don't know why she threw it, but she continued: "The album also randomly gives away tickets to fan meetings." ”
Lu Xiaosu pouted, okay, there are quite a lot of dirty routines of Tianfang Entertainment, and even the tickets for the fan meeting are taken out and given. It's okay now, those stupid brain-dead fans with many people may buy it like crazy.
On the planet, there are fans on digital albums on those music platforms who buy thousands of copies in one go, just to make their name on the buying charts and prove that they are the most die-hard fans. The world of the rich is always difficult for mortals to understand.
"Is this album selling well?" Lu Xiaosu asked the same thing as yesterday.
"It's good, a lot of little girls come to buy it." The female clerk continued to sell.
Lu Xiaosu wanted to touch his nose, but stopped moving. (Official complaint: Because it seems that writing this action will be sprayed, will I write the nostrils in the future?) )
Well, Ye Yiqing has an extremely high proportion of female fans.
"Let's have one." As he spoke, Lu Xiaosu walked over to pay the bill.
Friendship support Ye Yiqing, after all, this album is also the first time he has written songs for others, and he feels that it is necessary to collect it.
"By the way, which one sells better this album or Huang Minghao's?" Lu Xiaosu said while scanning the code and paying.
The female clerk was stunned, handed over the album and said: "Huang Minghao's one is slightly better, and the bookstore has more stock than that album." ”
Lu Xiaosu nodded, took the album and turned to leave.
Since it is only uploaded one day apart, there is bound to be competition. Which song is more popular with everyone depends on the response of the market.
After returning home, Lu Xiaosu turned on Penguin Music and looked at it, this time Tianfang Entertainment also fought hard, and the promotion efforts were also great, but unfortunately, the homepage recommendation was still occupied by Huang Minghao. Their company is crazy about throwing money at Huang Minghao, and from the perspective of the status of the rivers and lakes, the homepage promotion position will definitely not fall into the hands of Ye Yiqing.
Lu Xiaosu is a special case after all, because he is an online singer, and Penguin Music's profit share is as high as two-thirds! It's completely a pig killing knife slaughter!
In the face of huge profits, Penguin Music has also repeatedly opened a green channel for Lu Xiaosu, and even now an internal consensus has been reached, as long as this Lu Xiaosu has always been an Internet singer, then he will be pushed hard in the future! The old man pushes the cart like that! Anyway, it's us who take the lion's head.
Lu Xiaosu doesn't mind for the time being, although he only has a one-third share, at least no entertainment company will share the money with him, and his income is no worse than those stars, and it may even be higher.
He has his own plans in the future, so naturally he will not always be an Internet singer.
Although Ye Yiqing did not get the promotion position on the homepage, he still got three promotion positions on the second page, but from the perspective of the new song list, "Night Night Night Night" ranked second, and "Dark Fragrance" ranked third, and the first is still Huang Minghao's title song "Cold Night".
Judging from the first day of competition, Ye Yiqing was crushed by Huang Minghao in all aspects.
Lu Xiaosu received a WeChat message from Ye Yiqing, and he told Lu Xiaosu that he was thinking about it today, whether to try to make some hype and drive the popularity of the new album.
Obviously, all aspects were suppressed today, which made Ye Yiqing very frustrated.
But Lu Xiaosu is not in a hurry, because it is obvious that in terms of the ratio of audition and download, the ratio of these two songs is controlled at about six to one, and it is still increasing, and it should not be difficult to maintain it at about five to one.
What does this ratio represent? It means that the acceptance of the audience is very high, and the reputation of these two songs will definitely not be bad.
So Lu Xiaosu felt that there was no need to hype up at all, and he would waste a good reputation in vain.
Soon, he typed and replied: "Lewd development, don't wave!" ”
In this contest, the winner or loser will not be known until the later stage.
