138 wo~The most expensive album in history is released
The night of October 12th.
Broadcasting stations all over the country have once again started announcing.
"Tomorrow at eight o'clock in the morning, the famous singer Jiang Yan will release a new album. We all know Jiang Yan, "Fairy Tale", "Wukong" and most recently "The Lonely Warrior"..."
"It is said that this album contains a total of seventeen songs, including Mandarin, Cantonese and even Japanese. Jiang Yan is indeed versatile..."
"According to insiders in the industry, Jiang Yan's album is the highest quality album in the history of the domestic Chinese music scene. It can be said to be unprecedented..."
"Not only are the songs of high quality, but their production costs are also jaw-dropping..."
"Please remember that at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning, it will be available in all major video stores!"
Various radio advertisements, after spending a large amount of publicity money, are broadcast repeatedly on major radio stations across the country.
Anyway, it’s just bragging, the higher you brag, the better, and the more awesome you brag, the better.
And the audience was also very interested.
It's Jiang Yan again, and the cost is still so expensive.
Is it really that good?
Have to check it out tomorrow!
For a time, the popularity was unprecedentedly high.
If there is a pre-sale, it is estimated that the sales volume will reach 100,000 by now.
But Maitian is really willing to go all out, and such publicity costs will cost a lot of money.
Half of this is because Mai Tian wants to take this to a higher level, and the other half is because he expresses full confidence in the album.
Especially for the latter item, both Song Ke and Zhang Yadong believed that the advertisement was not nonsense.
"DNA" is truly "unprecedented"!
Not only the quality of the songs, but also the production costs!
Taking the quality of those seventeen songs as an example, Zhang Yadong felt like he was witnessing history!
This is a divine book!
But as for whether there are “nothings to come”?
This question needs to be answered by Jiang Yan himself.
So if the cost of publicity and distribution is so high, what will happen to the problem of making money?
Maitian thinks it doesn't matter, because they take 30% and are only responsible for 30% of the publicity and distribution expenses. According to the current figure, as long as the album sells more than 1.3 million copies, they can make a profit.
A tape earns three yuan, and they get nine cents.
This also shows how high the publicity costs are.
However, everyone in Maitian thinks that this sales volume is no problem. They expect that the original version will exceed 3 million within one year!
This is a terrible sales volume.
But this sales volume is definitely still a loss for Jiang Yan.
After all, Jiang Yan has already spent too much money on production costs.
Look at the special effects for the next eight songs, look at the level of detail, you would never be able to win even one or two million.
This still does not include "Wukong". If "Wukong" were added, Jiang Yan's album would probably have to sell six to seven million copies to make back the money.
But is this possible? Piracy will teach you how to be a good person.
But Jiang Yan also said: It doesn’t matter!
So since the real owner doesn't matter anymore, it's better for Maitian to increase publicity, earn Jiang Yan a lot of fame, and at the same time make money for himself. In this way, everyone will be happy.
As a result, there was overwhelming propaganda all over the country.
With this kind of publicity and the blessing of the previous two major storms, the popularity of the "DNA" album is unprecedented!
Of course, the more intense the propaganda and the higher the hype, the more noise there will be.
But it will be released tomorrow.
People who can tolerate it are not in a hurry.
Look at him building a tall building.
That way, maybe Jiang Yan would fall to his death without even having to do anything.
As a result, the tranquility in the Chinese entertainment industry lasted until 8 o'clock the next day.
Tuesday, October 13th, the album release date, is sunny.
It's 8 o'clock in the morning, and the weather in October is very pleasant.
The entrance of a video store in Shashi, Hunan Province.
The store hadn't even opened yet, but there was already a long queue outside.
Most of the people in line were young people.
There were even some students among them who looked like they had escaped.
Among them is Sun Qiang, who has watched Jiang Yan's show live.
"Why hasn't the door opened yet?"
It was already past eight o'clock, and Sun Qiang became anxious.
Fortunately, as soon as he finished speaking, the rolling shutter door clanged and the video store finally opened.
"Boss, are Jiang Yan's albums on sale today?"
Sun Qiang shouted out immediately.
When the boss saw so many people outside the door, he was stunned for a moment, then rolled his eyes and said: "Yes, but there are only 500 tickets today, first come, first served!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the team outside the door became a little restless.
Five hundred tickets seems like a lot, and there are less than a hundred people queuing up here.
But everyone knows in their hearts that they don’t just want to buy one.
Buy it for your girlfriend, buy it for your classmates, buy it for others, or even buy it and resell it.
So five hundred sheets are definitely not enough.
So the team quickly became chaotic.
"I have five!"
"I have eight, and there are posters!"
"Yes, me too..."
"Don't worry, don't worry! Come one by one!" The boss opened the cabinet door with a smile, "The tape is 10 yuan, the disc is 25 yuan, Xiao Zhou, collect the money first!"
The clerk Xiao Zhou nodded and started working.
The boss took one look at the booming sales scene, turned around and happily opened a CD of Jiang Yan's.
In my mind, I was thinking, the market price of a tape is 8 yuan, and today it sells for 10 yuan, and the optical disk is 20 yuan, and it sells for 25 yuan today, these people have no objection at all, this money is really easy to make!
As for inventory?
Hey, who said I only have 500 tickets?
Jiang Yan, Jiang Yan, you are truly the God of Wealth!
The boss smiled, showing a profiteer's expression, and then loaded the CD into the machine.
Then turn up the volume.
Soon, the first song begins:
It started with Jiang Yan's "wo~".
Then there is an overly long prelude that makes people unable to take their ears away.
Huh?!
Not only the boss, but also the customers queuing outside couldn't help but raise their eyebrows.
This song is so special!
Then there are the lyrics:
"I want a helicopter
I want to fly to the universe with you..."
The song "Lovely Woman", with its brisk rhythm and catchy melody, immediately made everyone fall in love with it.
Wow, not bad.
Jiang Yan’s new song is as good as advertised!
Although the style is different from "Wukong", it is still Jiang Yan's characteristic.
So special, so outstanding!
It's completely different from other songs in the world.
So what are you waiting for, buy it!
As a result, everyone's enthusiasm suddenly increased.
The first person to buy it didn't rush to leave, but happily held the album and poster in his arms and stayed in the store waiting to listen to the album.
Soon, "Lovely Woman" ended.
They compared it with the playlist in the album box.
"Lovely Woman" will be followed by "Trajectory"?
Well, I can’t tell what kind of song it is from the title.
But it’s definitely not bad, right?
Thinking like this, the singing sound was already heard.
At the beginning, there is another ear-catching prelude.
Then came Jiang Yan's slightly decadent and sad voice:
"How to hide my sadness at losing you..."
It sounds great!
When this first sentence came out, some people couldn't sit still.
How can you listen to such a song in a place like this!
You have to go back and appreciate it slowly!
So he quickly got up and pushed aside the crowd, then got on his bicycle and left.
He wants to go back to class and show off!
Some people go back to enjoy it slowly, but more people choose to stay and listen.
As a result, the small video store has become a market like never before.
This attracted more people to come and see it.
The boss greeted him with a smile, and he almost flattered Jiang Dacaishen in his heart.
At this time, all 500 copies were sold out in the store, and customers who didn't buy it were very sorry.
But how could the boss let them leave like this?
So he shouted: "The last five hundred sheets are for tomorrow. If you buy them early, you will have them. If you buy them late, they will be gone!"
"I want five!"
"I have ten!"
"..."
"Keep your voice down!"
Suddenly, several men who looked like gangsters yelled.
This made the store suddenly quiet.
You bastard, you can't afford to offend him.
Everyone's eyes were a little dodgey.
But then, the leader, the man in a leather jacket, tapped the speaker with his finger and whispered: "Don't disturb me while I listen to the music!"
Everyone then breathed a sigh of relief.
Then I paid attention to the song playing now.
"I am as free as the wind, just as your gentleness cannot be retained~"
A rock song leads everyone to transform into a gust of wind, flying freely between heaven and earth.
After singing the song, the gangster in the leather jacket laughed loudly:
"It's rock and roll!"
After that, he shouted to the boss: "Hey, I want five!"
"out of stock!"
"Huh?!" The gangster stared.
"Yes, there are five hundred more..."
17 songs, each one is indescribably praiseworthy!
So within half an hour, all 1,200 surviving tickets were sold out.
The boss was happy and anxious at the same time. He had already made countless calls to his superiors.
Because he knows that it will definitely be more explosive next time!
As he expected, the sales frenzy across the country really started after radio and television stations from various places intervened in the promotion.
