Chapter 51: Sales are booming
"According to the data sent by Xinhua Bookstore, major cooperative audio-visual stores, Dangdang.com and Amazon.com, as of 12 o'clock tonight, a total of 50,666 copies of "Yiming Jingren" have been sold."
"Sold 50,000 on the first day? That's a great result! ”
"It's really more than 50,000 tickets, and there is no mistake in the statistics, right? It's not a weekend, it's a Tuesday! ”
"No, no, we specially calculated 3 times to ensure that it is correct, that is, more than 50,000 copies, and "One Ming Jingren" has signs of being a big seller!"
……
Before the statistician could finish his sentence, the entire office was filled with earth-shattering exclamations.
When they heard the number 50,666, everyone felt incredible, and then there was a burst of cheers, and after three months of hard preparation and anticipation, they finally reaped far more than expected results at this moment.
"That's really ...... More than 50,000 copies were sold on the first day! I really didn't expect it. Mr. Li also felt a little unbelievable after hearing the specific data.
As of May, there has not been an album with real sales of more than 200,000 in the mainland, and all singers who have released albums have sold much worse than in the past on the first day.
Many musicians are becoming more and more pessimistic, bluntly saying that the Chinese music market will soon be completely silent.
And Chen Jing's album sold more than 50,000 copies on the first day, which can be said to have given everyone a big surprise, even if it loses to Jay Chou in the end, the final sales of "A Ming Jingren" should be able to meet expectations.
Why is everyone so important about first-day sales?
Because the first day of sales can basically predict the final sales range of an album, of course, this is only an approximate prediction, and it cannot be said to be 100% accurate.
Album sales in Huaxia are not as long-term as in Europe and the United States, and of course the albums in Europe and the United States have the highest sales in the first month or are higher, and then if there is no big surprise, it will also show a gradual downward trend.
However, Europe and the United States have a stronger awareness of buying genuine copies, and the impact of piracy is less, and good albums can sell well for a long time or even longer by virtue of their quality.
Huaxia's purchasing power is undoubtedly much worse, and piracy is too rampant, and the public's awareness of buying genuine copies is also very weak.
So, in the Chinese music scene, the first month of album sales basically reaches 60% of your annual final sales, or even more.
Album sales are basically the first month of life and death, even if your album sells again, at most it will be more than two months, and the rest of the sales will rely on the slow accumulation of time.
For the album sales of well-known singers, the sales of the first day in the first month will depend on the sales, if good data can be released, then even if it is gradually decreasing, it can still have a good sales.
But if the sales don't go up on the first day, then no matter how much you advertise, I'm afraid the effect will not be obvious, and piracy can drive you crazy.
"By the way, this data will be sent to Chen Jing later, and it is estimated that he is also waiting for the results now." Zhang Yadong suppressed the surprise in his heart and said, "Also, how about the first-day sales of "Cross Era"? ”
"The details are not very clear, but it should not be too different from "A Ming Jingren".
"Okay, now that the results are out, then everyone should go back and rest early, and we will continue to stare tomorrow!" Zhang Yadong waved his hand.
All the staff were busy and nervous for a day, and now after knowing the specific sales, their minds suddenly relaxed, and they suddenly felt very tired and sleepy, so they all left the company and went home after saying hello.
"Chen Jing's album sold such a high sales on the first day, and the final total sales should be able to meet expectations, but the higher the sales, the better, so we can't let the album sales decline too quickly.
Therefore, the company's publicity should continue to exert force, and at the same time let Chen Jing work hard and run more.
Mr. Li, you should also coordinate with various channel distributors and album burning manufacturers to ensure that there will be no out-of-stock. Zhang Yadong said.
"Don't worry, Mr. Zhang, I will keep an eye on it and ensure that there will be no problems." Mr. Li assured.
If the sales of "A Ming Jingren" can explode, this can be regarded as a major achievement of his, not to mention that he has seen hope now, so he is naturally very concerned.
On the other side, Chen Jing is also waiting for today's final sales, although he knows that his popularity is high, but now is the time for fans to take out real money, and facing the Asian king, Chen Jing must still be a little nervous.
Chen Jing's post bar and the official website of the support club fans are also leaving messages: "Is the result out?" "Did we win or not?" "Why hasn't it come out yet?"
Fans are also very anxious, eager to know how the first day of the battle will go, almost all the time pressing F5, desperate to know the result.
Suddenly, Ge Feng's mobile phone rang, and when he took it out and looked at it, he exclaimed, "It's very high!" ”
"How much?" Chen Jing asked excitedly.
"50,666 sheets!" Ge Feng replied, "I'm going to tell the elves. ”
After speaking, it was a snap, and the operation was as fierce as a tiger.
"More than 50,000 sheets, how about this data? Is it too much or too little? ”
"It should be a lot, after all, the album is not selling well now!"
"More than 50,000 tickets, or 1 day, a lot, it is estimated that Jay Chou is at this level."
"Not necessarily, Jay Chou has so many fans."
"More is definitely more, it is estimated that no one in the country can surpass him, but now it costs money, so it may not be!"
……
Chen Jing didn't look at the interaction between Ge Feng and the elves, and after hearing the number 50666, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
Chen Jing is still quite satisfied with this number, after all, it is already 2010 at this time, and it is very rare to be able to get more than 50,000 sales on the first day!
On this first day, sales are basically the same as the sales of some artists who released albums at the beginning of the year.
This shows how hot the sales of "A Ming Jingren" are, and of course, it can also be seen to what extent the Chinese music scene has declined.
"Boss, Sister Yang sent a message from there, saying that she would add a few more signing sessions to you." Ge Feng said suddenly, "The other thing is to let you go to "Happy Camp" again to promote more publicity." ”
Chen Jing nodded when she heard this, Huayi Music was obviously very satisfied with the first-day sales of "A Ming Jingren", and it could even be said that it was a surprise.
In order to be able to impact higher sales, it is naturally desperate publicity.
The sales of "One Ming Jingren" on the first day are so high, and it is also because it is the first day, after all, the elves have been waiting for a long time, which is equivalent to focusing on the release of energy on the first day, and sales are likely to decline in the next few days.
If you want to stabilize sales and attract more passers-by and fans to buy the album, the only way is to work hard to promote it.
