"Get me two of them!"

Wang Jiawen is not a child, and he has no requirements for beautiful posters.

The clerk went to pick out a record for Wang Jiawen.

And Wang Jiawen set his eyes on the old man who was counting money not far away.

This old man is the owner of this video store.

He walked over to the other party.

"Boss, how's the business?"

Old man Li was carefully counting the money.

Suddenly, a voice sounded in my ears, and when I looked up, I saw a young man wearing glasses walking over.

"Ok! Every time Chen Qiming releases a record, the business of the video store will be much better. ”

Saying that, he couldn't help but longing: "I really hope that Chen Qi will release a record tomorrow!" In that case, I won't have to worry about my business. ”

Hearing this, Wang Jiawen couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.

Chen Qiming is not a machine, how can he release records every day.

However, from the other party's words, he could also hear the other party's respect for Chen Qiming.

Nor is it a reverence.

But Chen Qiming is his food and clothing parents, who can make him money.

In this era where nothing is possible without money.

Whoever can make money and support an industry is someone else's food and clothing.

Even if these people don't like him, they will provide for him.

Obviously, Chen Qiming supported many video stores on his own.

"Boss, I'm a journalist, I want to learn about today's record sales from you, I don't know if it's convenient?"

After a pause, he took out another two hundred Hong Kong dollars, "It's not gratuitous, I can give you some money to buy news." ”

The old man's eyes swept over the two hundred yuan in Wang Jiawen's hand, and he didn't refuse, took the money, and directly took out an account book.

"It's a record of the album that sold this morning, you can see it for yourself."

Wang Jiawen took the account book and looked at it carefully.

The more I looked at him, the more frightened I became.

The video store doesn't open until 8 a.m.

So far, it's just over two hours.

But in just over two hours, Chen Qiming's new record "Chen Qiming 1999" has sold more than 300 copies.

Based on the price of a record of more than 100 yuan, in less than a few hours, this store alone has sold nearly 30,000 Hong Kong dollars of records.

It's a money grab.

At this moment, Wang Jiawen once again realized Chen Qiming's appeal.

Records didn't make it to the radio charts, and many people didn't know how good the songs were, but they were able to sell so many records in one store in just two hours.

And that's just one.

How many video stores in Hong Kong are selling this record?

Not only in Hong Kong, but in the whole of Asia, and even globally, how much has been sold?

It is no wonder that some newspapers have reported that Chen Qiming has his own money-absorbing system, and he releases records, which is almost equivalent to printing money.

At this rate of record sales, it's like a bank printing money.

After reading the account book, Wang Jiawen confessed that he shouldn't need to visit today.

Because for a day, two, or three, he shouldn't have gotten a specific evaluation of the record.

At this time, the people who came to buy the record were basically Chen Qiming's loyal fans.

They don't care about the quality of the record at all.

Just under the name of Chen Qiming, they will enter the video store to buy records.

So, after getting the record he bought and paying for it, he went straight out of the video store and didn't think about visiting the fans' evaluation of the album.

And in fact, it is just as Wang Jiawen thought.

When he bought the record.

Globally.

Chen Qiming's new record "Chen Qiming 1999" has been scrambled by fans around the world.

Hong Kong, Treasure Island, Japan and South Korea, as well as North America and Europe.

But wherever entertainment is more developed, this record has caused a large number of fans to rush to buy it without going through the charts.

Almost every video store or newspaper that sells Chen Qiming's records has a long queue.

These people, without exception, are all people who buy Chen Qiming's records.

Many media newspapers even filmed the hot rush to buy on the scene and published it in the newspaper, attracting countless people's attention to Chen Qiming's record.

In this situation where a large number of peers gather their eyes and the media pay attention, the day is fleeting.

Early the next morning, Starting Point Records announced the sales data of Chen Qiming's first record through Mingyang Daily.

In Hong Kong, 78,000 copies were sold on the first day.

Treasure Island, the first day sales of 123,000 copies.

Singapore and Malaysia combined for 54,000 first-day sales.

Japan, 163,000 sheets.

South Korea, 91,000.

North America, 410,000.

Europe, 310,000 sheets.

Combined with other scattered regions, the first-day sales of Chen's record were a staggering 1.5 million copies.

Surprise!

As soon as this data was published, there was an almost global uproar.

One and a half million sheets.

Compared with Chen Qiming's previous sales of tens of millions, this data is actually not much.

But there's a premise here.

That's the sum of the sales of those records.

And this time it's a one-day sale.

In one day, it sold countless singers a number that they couldn't reach in a lifetime.

How is this not frightening.

At the same time, after a day of sales, the songs of Chen Qiming's new album also began to log in to major radio stations.

This is not what Chen Qiming sent to the list.

Instead, the radio DJ buys the record himself and plays it on the radio.

This is also a point that Chen Qiming envies and envy countless peers.

Other singers, if they want to play their own songs on the radio, almost have to give the radio station a dot and ask the radio DJ to recommend and play the songs in the program.

Well, to put it simply, if you want your songs to play on my station, you're going to have to pay for them.

Radio is the same as television, and recommending songs can actually be seen as advertising.

Advertisers want to advertise on this platform, and you don't pay for advertising, so why should I help you advertise.

However, this was the case before.

Now, this situation has been broken.

Broken by Asia's top singer Chen Qiming.

He didn't send money to any radio station when he released his record, and he didn't even send a single record.

It was under such circumstances that not only did the record sell well, but the next day, the radio station spontaneously went to the video store to buy Chen Qiming's record to play on the radio.

This is absolutely unprecedented.

Even if Chen Qiming himself was so popular in the past few years, he had never been in such a situation this time.

In fact, the radio station is also helpless.

Originally, when Chen Qiming didn't send songs to major radio stations to hit the charts, the major radio stations were very dissatisfied with this.

Everyone needs our platform, but you don't, do you look down on us?

Even those radio stations that have a good relationship with Chen Qiming are very dissatisfied with Chen Qiming after this incident.

Their tacit decision will not help Chen Qiming promote any topics about this album.

Let Chen Qiming know that it is not that they can't do without Chen Qiming, but that Chen Qiming can't do without them.

However, this tacit understanding between the major radio stations was broken a day later.

After Chan's record was released, songs from his new album quickly began to pop up in video stores, clothing stores and even barber shops on the streets.

The widely sung and melodic vocals immediately attracted countless people.

Then, a large number of Chen Qiming's fans didn't know that Chen Qiming was not on the radio list, and they began to call the radio station to play the song.

It's okay once or twice, but if you refuse, forget it.

It's not a matter of one or two times, but all day long, the radio calls have not stopped, and they are all dialing in to order Chen Qiming's songs.

There are no strong covenants between the major radio stations.

Finally, with a large number of listeners on demand, a radio station couldn't resist the temptation and played Chen Qiming's new song that night.

It's good that this one doesn't broadcast it, but this one directly frightened other radio stations.

At that time, the radio station that played Chen Qiming's new song was a small radio station, the kind that had just been established and did not have a license, and belonged to the listeners who did not know the station.

As a result, because other radio stations do not broadcast Chen Qiming's new songs, only they are broadcasting.

This directly led to the record-breaking popularity of this small radio station that night, not only winning the first place in radio listening that night, but also creating a record of 110,000 listeners at the same time.

As soon as I saw this, the other radio stations sat down.

The competition between radio stations is the same as that of television.

The battle is for listeners.

Whoever listens more will have more advertising dollars and more loyal listeners.

Those big radio stations don't want to push out all the listeners just because they don't play Chen Qiming's new songs.

As a result, the major radio stations spontaneously went to the video store to buy Chen Qiming's records and began to broadcast them on the radio.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is Commercial Radio Hong Kong......

As we all know, just yesterday, Mr. Chen Qiming, the light of our Chinese, released his new album "Chen Qiming 1999".

Here, on behalf of the radio owner, I would like to congratulate Mr. Chen, who broke the record again and sold more than 1.5 million albums on the first day......

Without further ado, the song we bring to you today is Chen Qiming's new album.

The album is a rare hybrid album that includes Chinese, Cantonese, Japanese, Korean, and English.

The album has a total of thirteen songs.

Four songs in Chinese, two in Cantonese, two in Japanese, one in Korean, and four in English.

Among them, there are several songs that use a tune, and the words are divided into languages......

Now, let's relax and enjoy this musical feast together.

Well, yes, it's a musical feast, and as always, Chen Qiming's songs never disappoint.

Although there are many languages in this album, it will give a sense of chaos.

But there's no doubt that the songs in it are the best of the best......"

The car was driving on the road, Chen Qiming was lying on his back seat, and in the car radio, the morning music channel of the commercial radio station was playing.

The host is recommending his new record to play.

First, there were a lot of words, interspersed with some advertisements, and slowly, the host's voice slowly disappeared, and the tune of the song began to appear.

The music goes from slow to exciting.

"Squander love unscrupulously

My heart is broken, what do I have to worry about?

Whatever you want, let you take it with you

If you feel that freedom is joy

……”

The first song to be played was "Too Much".

Chen Qiming's album has been released in different versions in different regions.

Although it's all the same as these thirteen songs.

But in different regions, the songs placed at the beginning are different.

In Chinese-speaking areas, before "Too Much" hits, "Thank You for Your Love 1999" ends.

In the Japanese region, "Lemon" is before hitting.

In English-speaking areas, it's different.

In North America and other places, the song before the hit is "Whataya Want from Me".

Speaking of English songs.

Originally, the initial plan for this album was ten songs, and there was only one song in English.

However, after the plan reached Warner's side, the plan was vetoed.

According to them, although the Chinese region is Chen Qiming's home base.

But from a practical point of view, Chen Qiming's current record sales are the best-selling, the best-selling, and the most profitable places are undoubtedly Europe and the United States.

Therefore, as a European and American distributor, Warner does not agree that there is only one English song in this album.

Warner's side initially thought that Chen Qiming had no English songs, and also proposed that if Chen Qiming himself did not have good songs, they would ask the head office to send invitations to European and American lyricists and composers, inviting them to tailor songs for Chen Qiming.

It will take time, though.

In the end, Chen Qiming refused the request.

His image in front of fans around the world is that of a musical talent.

All of his previous records, almost all of the songs were written by himself.

This time, if he asks someone else to compose a song, it will obviously give the outside world a feeling that he is exhausted.

So, he had to take the time to re-add three songs for the new album.

Originally, the only English song he prepared was "Whataya Want from Me".

Later, he took out three more songs.

The three songs are "Here With You", "Animals" and "Wait for You".

These three songs, together with the previous "Whataya Want from Me", make up the English tracks of the new album.

All four songs were of the highest quality, and when put together, it was Warner who agreed to release the hybrid album worldwide.

And in fact, judging by the current situation.

Warner was right.

If there was only one song in English, his record might have achieved good results with his previous fame, but it would definitely not be as dazzling as it is now.

This can be seen in the Japanese region.

Because it's a mixed album, there are only two Japanese songs in it, and one is the Japanese version of "King of K Songs", and the quality is not too good.

This led to the album's reputation in Japan being questioned to a certain extent.

Of course, this kind of questioning is not too much.

After all, Japan is also a place with a large audience for English songs.

There are also four English songs on the album, and even if some people question that there are too few songs in Japanese, it won't stop them from buying the album.

There are few doubts about the Japanese songs in Japan.

If Chen Qiming only puts an English song on the album, this will also happen in Europe and the United States.

Fortunately, Warner is experienced and corrected Chen Qiming in a timely manner.

That's the benefit of large international companies.

Although working with them, the profit will be less.

But admittedly, they will also play a big role.

Whether it's publicity, distribution, or positioning of the album market.

Experienced people can help people avoid a lot of detours.
