144. What is a hit

Jiang Xinhai hugged Chen Ya on the sofa and said:

"It's so thrilling just now, I'm going to see what the first article is about!"

Chen Ya turned to the first page and turned to "Jiang Xinhai's new album was released for a week, and the popularity trend is thrilling!" titled the headline article.

Jiang Xinhai leaned on him from behind, rested his chin on his head, and read:

“…… Jiang Xinhai made a sharp turn from film and television to directly cross over to the music industry, which was really an unexpected move for everyone, but judging from the performance of her first album, this transformation was quite high-quality, and it also surprised everyone, including people in the industry.

Judging from the previous cross-border attempts of amphibious stars, the popularity of the film and television industry is not very popular with music fans, especially the consumer groups who watch TV, and the awareness of genuine CD consumption has not yet been established, so the effect of album sales is limited.

"Most people in the industry are not optimistic about Jiang Xinhai's crossover this time. Yingzi even ridiculed by name, claiming that Jiang Xinhai's sales would interrupt her rising career......"

Chen Ya raised his head: "Yingzi still said such a thing?" ”

Jiang Xinhai's face darkened: "It's even more excessive." Also, just as I got to the critical part, I continued to read - as predicted, the first day of sales of the album "Encounter" was not good, but on the second day there was a slight increase, and on the third day, due to Yingzi's criticism by name, sales fell to the bottom. ”

After reading this, the two looked at each other at the same time.

"Yingzi also criticized by name?" The two said in unison.

Subsequently, Chen Ya said: "Read this article first, and then we will look for Yingzi's criticism later." ”

“…… However, on the fourth and fifth days, the sales of the "Encounter" album rose strongly, and with the momentum of breaking through all Jedi rebounds, it rushed directly to the top of the sales charts, approaching "The First Snow of 2012".

On Saturday, due to the blessing of the holiday, the album's sales reached a new high, allowing its sales to directly surpass "The First Snow" and firmly sit at the top of the list.

By the seventh day, the album sales had dropped back and ended up at 450,000 copies, which was pretty good for a newcomer.

"According to the final trend, it is expected that the final sales of the album will reach 800,000 units......"

After putting down the magazine, Jiang Xinhai put his arms around Chen Ya's neck: "Look at Yingzi? ”

"Don't look, there's something important." Chen Ya dialed Zhou Peng's phone.

A moment later, as soon as the phone was connected, Chen Ya said with a scowl on his face: "Make another 500,000 sets!" Fast! ”

"Okay!"

"The money will be given when it is returned."

"Okay!"

"A boss like you, this business vision, seriously, I have nothing to say, and I don't know how to mix up to be a teaching assistant." Chen Ya commented.

"Bad luck, I didn't meet a nobleman!" Zhou Peng was in high spirits, "My first set is not perfect, but the second set can be better!" ”

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Xinhai tilted his head and asked, "Didn't you say that the final sales volume was only 800,000?" ”

"The magazine miscalculated," Chen Ya's hands were shaking, "they don't know, the sales fell on the seventh day, not because the audience has decreased, but because the album has sold out!" ”

In total, only 500,000 units were shipped, but 450,000 units were sold in a week.

The remaining 50,000 sets are scattered to various cities and video stores, and it is estimated that there are not a few copies left in each one.

This situation is called a priceless market.

Even Chen Ya thinks that 1 million sets is conservative.

In the end, it is not impossible to sell 2 million sets.

It is also in this era that there is no Weibo, and if there is, they can see on Weibo that the blockbuster does not buy the wailing of the album.

In the second-hand market, the second-hand "Meet" album has been bid to be more than 3 times more expensive than the original price.

There are also some people who have heard that there is an album of "Encounter" sold in a certain city, and they drive dozens of kilometers to buy it.

There are even more people who can't buy the "Meet" album in more than a dozen stores, and they sit in front of the store and scold their mothers.

In this era, there are no fan lists, no messy marketing, and some are just word-of-mouth.

When people around me hum a piece of "Aurora", someone will always ask curiously, "What kind of song is this?" ”

Then you will get an answer: "Jiang Xinhai's new song, haven't you heard it?" ”

"Jiang Xinhai still sings?"

"Hmmm! Sing well! Headphones for you, listen to ......"

When customers who can't buy the album are hesitating, some merchants with excellent vision simply play the "Encounter" album on a loop in the store to attract these unlucky ghosts.

The counter sister standing in the store listened to "Meet" 800 times a day, and she was about to vomit, completely brainwashed, and when she went home to cook for her children, she would hum two sentences.

Because the mother sang "Listening to the Sea" every day, the child secretly downloaded the complete works of pirated Jiang Xinhai on the Internet, and listened to it with headphones every day during class.

was swept by Jiang Xinhai's tide at school, and the students began endless comparisons, and some stole their parents' album covers and ran to the school to show off to their classmates.

The head teacher, who confiscated the album cover, put the album cover in the faculty office, which caused a group discussion among the teachers.

And the men who pursue the teachers will secretly practice the two songs in "Meet" at home, and they are looking forward to making a splash at KTV.

In KTV, because the customer couldn't find Jiang Xinhai's new song, the waiter was scolded so bloody that he ran to cry to the store owner.

Because they bought the copyright of Jiang Xinhai's new song, the bosses will also broadcast on the electronic billboard at the door "Our store has the copyright of a full set of songs of "Meet"......

What is a hit, this is called a hit.

You can not know the name of the song, or you may not know who sang it.

But when the melody sounds, you hear it with one ear and react: I heard it!

After many years, the last time such a spectacle appeared in the Chinese music scene had to be traced back to the era of Teresa Teng.

Chen Ya took out his mobile phone and said, "I want to see what Yingzi has farted in the past 7 days of retreat." ”

Soon, he found Yingzi's recent interview and clicked on it.

“…… May I ask the diva, what do you think of Jiang Xinhai's new "Meet" album recently? ”

Yingzi sat in front of the camera, looking arrogant: "I've heard a few songs, but I can only say that the interlacing is like a mountain." That's all I can say. ”

"Can you elaborate a little bit more?"

"Her vocal range is too narrow," Yingzi gestured with her hand, "The singing voice is not explosive, it is too fragile, and it feels like she is going to die at any moment." ”

The reporter asked: "Is it possible that this is also a style?" Probably the listeners also like this ......"

"That can only mean that the audience has no taste," Yingzi scratched his ears, "A few saliva songs, just because they are easy to sing, anyone can sing them, just say that it is good, that is wrong, that is good to sing, not good, this point must be clear." ”

"Can you tell us about your favorite songs on this album?" The reporter asked.

"Like? No. Yingzi said decisively, "I like more technical music, the kind that can bring fresh blood to the music scene." ”

The reporter seemed to have heard "Encounter" and couldn't help asking: "Haven't you heard many songs?" In fact, there are many songs in this album, and they are also very skillful......"

Yingzi immediately interrupted: "Are you from the music department?" ”

"No, I'm from the journalism department."

Yingzi spread her hands and shrugged her shoulders, and several people next to her laughed.

"Interlaced lines are like mountains across mountains, and this sentence is also given to you," said Yingzi, "I really haven't heard many songs, but when an egg is broken, do you have to eat it to know that it is broken?" ”
