Chapter 93 War Without Smoke(1/2)
"Nervous~"
Xue Jiajia rolled her eyes at Shao Yang and strode into the room.
Yang Lan also followed in.
Compared to Shao Yang, the two of them are more concerned about the sales of Shao Yang's new album. After all, this will affect a series of events in the future.
"Xue Jiajia, why didn't you bring me breakfast today?"
"I went to bed at about two o'clock yesterday and got up at seven o'clock. It takes twenty minutes to drive here. There is no time to buy breakfast. Besides, your album is released today. Do you still have breakfast?"
"People are iron rice is steel."
Shao Yang shrugged his shoulders, turned around and entered the kitchen, boiling water to cook noodles: "Sister Lan, have you eaten?"
"without."
"Then I'll cook more and eat together?"
"Okay." Yang Lan agreed with a smile, then took out a 13-inch Mac computer from his bag, opened the Penguin Music interface, and compared the sales of the two albums.
Shen Rui's "Gorgeous Movement" currently sells 140,000 copies.
The sales volume of Shaoyang's "Fuyao" has just approached 30,000 copies.
The disparity is huge.
But 90% of the people were sleeping in the early morning, and yesterday was not a weekend, so not many people went to listen to music in the middle of the night. Before 8 o'clock in the morning, 30,000 copies were sold, which is already a very good sales volume.
Shen Rui's "Gorgeous Movement" has sold 140,000 copies, which looks really impressive, but anyone in the know can tell that this data is abnormal.
So far, the first-day sales record of digital albums is only 520,000 copies.
According to Shen Rui's data, as long as he keeps it up, there is no problem in breaking the record.
But is this possible?
It's simply impossible. No matter how early Shen Rui debuted, he is still just a second-tier singer who appears in variety shows. His output is low and his singing skills are not very good in the industry. There is no reason for him to have such achievements.
Yang Lan smiled and said: "I stayed up until after four o'clock last night before going to bed. Although the sales of "Fuyao" were not as high as "Glorious Movement", the reviews of the album were all good."
"Really?"
Xue Jiajia stepped forward and said, "I just looked at the sales volume, not the comments below. Let me take a look."
Yang Lan clicked on the comment area below the album...
The comments left by netizens jumped out in front of me...
"As expected of a person who can write songs such as "Ease Sorrow", "Ten Years", and "Exaggerated". Every song in the new album is a masterpiece. Brothers, the songs in this new album are really explosive and beautiful."
"Can't you just send them all out at once? If it has to be so exciting, then Penguin has never done anything about human resources. Damn it!"
"The song "Gangnam" really shocked me. In my mind, this song is the ceiling of this year's pop music!"
"At two o'clock, I waited for "Drunken Red Cliff", and the single was played on repeat all night. I thought it was the peak, but I didn't expect that there would be "Gangnam" and "Confession Balloon" later. I fell in love with it."
"I have never opened a video membership, let alone bought a digital album. This album "Fuyao" made me make an exception."
"Whenever the physical record is released, I will definitely buy one for my collection!"
These are the comments with more likes.
Below are the comments just posted by netizens.
"My girlfriend likes the song Confession Balloon very much. I have already planned to learn this song and find an opportunity to propose to him. Everyone, wish me good luck."
"The new album is really invincible. It's rare for the entertainment industry to produce such a talented singer."
“The more I listen to it, the more I get addicted to it.”
"Brothers!!! The fifth song of the album has been uploaded, "Compendium of Materia Medica", everyone go and listen to it, I'm already on my knees."
"Is it okay to take it all out at once? There are really ants crawling all over my body."
"..."
After reading dozens of comments, Yang Lan refreshed the interface.
The sales volume of "Fuyao" increased by seven to eight hundred in less than five minutes.
Yang Lan and Xue Jiajia looked at each other with obvious surprise in their eyes.
Sales are rising faster and faster.
This is a very good signal.
On the other hand, the increase in "Gorgeous Movement" is far less than that in the early morning.
"It's time to eat noodles."
Shaoyang filled three bowls of noodles and placed them on the table.
Xue Jiajia rubbed her belly and quickly went to the kitchen. She seemed to have regarded herself as the hostess of the house and was not polite at all.
"Shaoyang, didn't I say I don't like fried eggs?"
“It’s not good to be picky eaters.”
"Cut~" Xue Jiajia took a pair of chopsticks and put the poached eggs in her bowl into Shaoyang's bowl.
Yang Lan stepped forward with some embarrassment.
She knew that Shaoyang could cook, but she didn't expect that his cooking skills were so good. A bowl of noodles was so appetizing.
"Sister Lan, you're welcome."
"Um."
After the three of them all sat down, Shao Yang took out his mobile phone and opened the album sales interface to take a look.
"This Shen Rui is really interesting. He can't play it brightly and starts playing dirty. He released a new album in the early morning and not all the songs were on the shelves, but he sold more than 100,000 copies. What's wrong with this?"
Shaoyang is someone who has been here. Even if Yang Lan didn't tell him, he knew that this data was generated. www.bǐqυgetν.℃ǒm
It's just that he didn't expect that Shen Rui would do it so openly. If you want to do it, do it in a subtle way. He just paid more than 100,000 yuan. He is really a 'talent'.
Yang Lan ate the noodles with relish and said: "An expert can tell at a glance that it is fake, but netizens don't know that. They only look at the final sales volume."
"I am still confident in my new album. Even if it cannot surpass it today, it will definitely surpass it in a few days."
Shaoyang's confidence certainly comes from the nine songs he chose.
These nine songs are very popular and well-known songs. Just one song can probably kill more than 99% of the songs on the market in an instant.
Who is Shen Rui?
A second-tier singer whose arrangement is still at the level of a 'high school student'.
Any song in the new album can crush all his previous works.
Eight o'clock: Compendium of Materia Medica is on the shelves.
Two hours later, the sales volume of "Fuyao" rose to 50,000.
Ten o'clock: Dongfeng Break is on the shelves.
By noon, the sales volume had risen to more than 80,000. At this time, the sales volume of "Magnificent Movement" had only increased by a little over 20,000.
The gap suddenly narrowed from nearly seven times to two times.
…
In the hotel.
Shen Rui, who had just slept in the early morning, woke up. He immediately unlocked his phone and took a look at the album sales. Although it was not as high as expected, he sold 160,000 digital albums in half a day, which was already a lot. Not a bad result.
After all, the period from 6pm to 10pm is the peak period for limited price increases.
He still remembers that the total sales of his first album were only around 500,000, and it didn’t even break 100,000 on the first day.
Shen Rui smiled a little, and when he was about to wash up, he curiously returned to the album sales interface and clicked on "Fuyao".
"Fuyao": 83,422 copies sold.
Shen Rui rubbed his eyes and took another look. When he realized that he had seen it right, his heart tightened suddenly.
It was only over 20,000 when I went to bed, but why did it increase to 60,000 when I woke up?
"Sister Wang, Sister Wang."
Shen Rui was stunned for a moment and quickly ran to the sofa to wake up her manager Wang Meimei who was still sleeping.
"What's wrong?" Wang Meimei asked drowsily, obviously not yet awake.
Shen Rui said anxiously: "Quickly, send more messages to the fan group and ask them to buy more. "Fuyao" will soon catch up."
"What?"
It was clearly six or seven times worse last night, how could it be possible to catch up so quickly?
Wang Meimei quickly got up and looked at her phone.
When she saw that the album sales of "Fuyao" had increased to 80,000, she was stunned.
