The music market in various places has its own characteristics, and the Asian market represented by China, Japan and South Korea sees a short-term explosion, and album sales are often determined in the first month.

New albums in the Japanese market can often explode sales of two to three million in the first month of release, but the sales after that will fall off a cliff, and then sell flatly.

South Korea is even more exaggerated, a week, at most two weeks can determine the life and death of a new album.

It's impossible to sell for the long term.

The basic model of the Chinese market is similar to that of Japan, with sales accounting for the majority of new albums in the first month, but the domestic record market is not as large as Japan, and it does not explode two or three million in the first month.

However, Zhang Yuanjun's new album can digest the pre-sale of 130,000 within a week, which is enough to shock the music world.

Now the main force in the Chinese music scene is still Hong Kong and Taiwan singers, especially the young generation, and none of the young singers in the mainland can compete with Jay Chou, Jolin Tsai and others.

Li Yuchun, who has high hopes, will not release the film until the second half of next year.

Now a 21-year-old young man's first album sells 100,000 copies a week, and this sales volume is a very good result for Jay Chou and others.

After the sales in the first week were released, Zhang Yuanjun didn't have to run by himself, and various media took the initiative to report it.

"Of course I'm happy." Zhang Yuanjun was interviewed by the media backstage of the event, talking about the proud sales of the album, and his joy was overflowing, "In the past few days, I have seen a lot of enthusiastic fans, and I am very grateful for their support. ”

Zhang Yuanjun's current works have only one return to the sea, and it can be said that this music album has completely attracted and consolidated a large number of fans for Zhang Yuanjun.

"Wang Lihong's "Heroes of the World" is about to be released, who do you think will sell better for the two of you's album?" Very naked question.

Zhang Yuanjun didn't answer: "I'm a fan of Wang Lihong, I'll definitely buy a copy of his album, as for whose album sales are good, it's better to leave it to the market to decide, I'm a newcomer, where will I predict sales." ”

At the end of 05 and the beginning of 06, the music market became very lively because Zhang Yuanjun and Wang Lihong released films together.

The Marché du Film is just as lively, but it's not a good thing.

Zhang Yimou, who returned to literary films, handed over a good result, and "A Thousand Miles to Ride Alone" had a box office of 12 million in the first week.

Again, literary films, "A Thousand Miles to Ride Alone" is a literary film, and it is really very good that there are 12 million in the first week. Even if the director is Zhang Yimou.

"The Great Sage of Love" was 2 million on the first day, meeting Huayi's expectations, but the word-of-mouth was polarized.

The highlight of the Chinese New Year file is still on "Wuji", and "A Bloody Case Caused by a Steamed Bun" completely detonated the Internet.

The virality has seriously affected the audience's viewing choices.

The number of downloads of the short film "Steamed Bun" surpasses that of "Wuji".

After the New Year, Chen Kaige finally couldn't sit still and scolded the author of "Steamed Buns": "People can't be shameless to this point!" ”

The newspaper scolded "Wuji", but the crew did not respond.

Xu Jinglei and Han Han scolded "Wuji", and the crew did not respond.

The audience said on the Internet that they couldn't understand "Wuji", but the crew still didn't respond.

Why did a female reporter who had just debuted ask if the box office was less than expected, and Director Chen and his wife reacted so much?

Why did an unknown person cut an entertainment short film, and Director Chen was angry and scolded the other party for being shameless?

Although "Steamed Bun" is a funny and banter, it also reveals the shortcomings of "Wuji": the relationship between the characters is chaotic, the logic of action cannot be self-consistent, some art is designed for design, and the whole story cannot convince the audience.

The box office of "Wuji" officially exceeded 160 million after the New Year's Day holiday.

There is still half of the 300 million box office scheduled by the filmmaker, but Zhang Yuanjun knows that "Wuji" is exhausted, and its results will stop there.

However, the current results are enough to make "Wu Ji" firmly sit on the box office champion in 2005.

Taking the author of "Steamed Buns" to court intensified the carnival of netizens.

Even Zhang Yuanjun said to Luo Jin in private: "He doesn't cut it well, if I cut it, I can play with flowers." ”

Director Chen couldn't indiscriminately shoot netizens who gave him bad reviews, so in a hurry, he released words to respond: "No one can understand "Wuji" in five years. ”

Feeble.

As soon as Laba passed, Zhang Yuanjun came back from Bay Island.

The most intense stage of the promotion of the new album is over, and he can finally rest.

The new album has been on the market for 16 days, and 430,000 copies have been sold in the mainland!

Bay Island was listed for 3 days, and the sales volume also successfully exceeded 10,000.

700,000 in the first month is not a problem, and it is not impossible to sell one million a year.

Mai Tian is already thinking about holding a concert for Zhang Yuanjun.

Why can't you hold a concert with millions of sales?

What's wrong with an album, it's the same with an album!

Wang Lihong's album, which was released a week later, also performed well, in the end, it was a veteran singer, and the sales of "Heroes of the World" caught up with Zhang Yuanjun's sales in three weeks, and slightly pressed by 450,000 copies.

On the 9th, Monday, Zhang Yuanjun got news from his subordinates as soon as he arrived at the studio.

Yingyi Entertainment agreed to the studio's investment in "Big Diamond".

"We invested 1.8 million and got 40.12% of the amount."

"Andy Lau is still worried about the risks of this film."

"Yes, we talked in Pengcheng, Andy Lau didn't show up the whole time, and he was replaced by someone from his company."

"Okay, 40 is 40, this film can't be lost." Zhang Yuanjun has no special plot for "Big Diamond", and only treats it as a project that can make money.

"How's Animal World going?" Zhang Yuanjun asked, during this time, they were mainly busy with the preparation of "Animal World".

"The screenwriter has already started writing the script, and the art team has already started." Because it is a comic adaptation, there is no need for Zhang Yuanjun to intervene in providing an outline in advance.

Although the script is outsourced, if the acceptance is not qualified, it still has to be changed one draft after another.

"We found three special effects teams, Hong Kong Island Xiantao and Wan Kuan, and China Film's Hualong Digital, originally wanted to find Koreans with more advanced technology to do it, but the price of digital creativity was too high, and the price could not be cut much, so we gave up.

"The special effects director is Wang Jianxiong of Hualong Digital."

Zhang Yuanjun nodded and agreed with such a plan.

Digital creative technology is more advanced, but this does not mean that Xiantao + Wankuan + Hualong Digital is not doing well.

The lesson of "Wu Ji" is in front of him, so Zhang Yuanjun decided to take charge of the art and special effects team himself.

You can't change the demand casually, otherwise Weta Digital + Industrial Light & Magic will make special effects for you, which is also at the level of five cents.

Thanks to the original comics, the art team's design work is twice as effective with half the effort.

Zhang Yuanjun knew very well what he wanted, he told Wang Jianxiong his needs very clearly and clearly, and with the drawings that had been drawn, Wang Jianxiong led the special effects team to work very smoothly.

In the design industry, Party A who does not change the demand is not only Dad, but also a living ancestor!

If you don't change the requirements, for Party A, it saves time and money, and for the designer, the requirements are clear and you don't change it halfway, and they also save time and effort.

Also on the same day, the record of a movie called "Rock Paper Scissors" was exposed by the media.

Filing unit: Zhang Yuanjun Studio.

Filing result: Permission to shoot.

Early.
