In this world, since 2003, the music market has been filled with disasters.
The album will never sell again.
But around 2004, Chen Feng came out of nowhere and established himself firmly in the rock music scene. His album sales were good, his concerts were attended by many people, and he became a smash hit.
In 2007, the music market picked up and entered the era of ring tones.
Saliva and songs are flying all over the place.
During this period, many singers made a lot of money. For example, Rang Bing debuted at this time.
However, surrendering troops is not the best in this time period.
During this period, a person named Zhang Ceyong appeared, a newcomer who made his debut by releasing an album.
The first album sold 2.7 million copies and was double platinum.
In the first month after releasing the album, she was directly promoted to a first-tier singer based on her sales volume!
In the second year, two albums were released within one year, with a total sales volume of six million copies and six platinum albums in a single year.
In the third year, the album was released at the end of the year, and before the end of the year, sales exceeded 1.5 million copies.
In three years, the whole process of accumulating the King of Songs was completed.
However, except for Chuck Cheung and several first-tier singers, the album sales of second-tier singers began to drop significantly.
The end of physical albums is coming.
It was also around 10 years ago that MP3 became very popular.
In 2012, MP3 has completed its ultimate evolution. The sound quality is barely inferior to tapes, but one MP3 can hold four hundred songs.
Electronic piracy became rampant.
In 2014, the famous first-line singer Zhou Quanou released his personal electronic album "The Wind Rises".
His album sells for 81 copies. After purchasing, you can own the full album copyright of Penguin Music, and also have a USB flash drive that stores all the electronic music, but it cannot be transcribed.
It also comes with two posters and a certain probability of getting an autographed photo.
This album sold 1.8 million copies.
This is considered to be the beginning of the electronic era and the music market is about to pick up!
Everyone knows that if you hold a concert, you will lose money, and if you release an album, you will lose money.
The only function of a singer holding concerts and releasing albums is to cultivate die-hard fans, and then use the popularity created by die-hard fans to make money through commercial performances and variety shows.
However, after Zhou Quanou's "The Wind Rises", Chuck Cheung also released a digital album.
Sales of 1.9 million copies.
At this time, Chuck Cheung's total album sales in his life have reached 27 million.
When Chuck Cheung released his album, he only bought less than two million copies.
No one dares to make a big splash or spend a lot of money to release an album anymore.
Until this year.
All the way to An Lan.
Therefore, the entire music market and all companies are all eyeing this album.
An Lan, "Love at First Sight", physical version, electronic version, digital version, three versions are on sale simultaneously.
The physical version, all of which are vinyl records and older-looking discs, is targeted at Southeast Asia, the East Asian Sakura Country market, and the Australian Chinese market.
The electronic version cannot be transcribed, and is sold based on USB flash drives.
Digital version, Penguin Music, new music, released simultaneously.
If nothing else, ordinary people don't understand what it means to have these two giants release this album simultaneously, but people in the industry know it very well.
Mai Lang, risked everything!
Before the release of "Love at First Sight", eight songs had already topped the charts.
Seven of them are versions sung on the stage of "Tomorrow's Superstars".
And "Childhood" is the road show version, and the song was announced later.
At the same time, among all the radio stations across the country, seven of the eight songs from "Love at First Sight" have taken turns to be at the top of the on-demand charts for at least a week so far.
Among them, "The Moon Represents My Heart" topped the list for four weeks!
And since its release, it has been in the top three of the radio on-demand charts and has never fallen out.
This kind of grand occasion has not happened for 19 years. Even the youngest singer and later the king, Zhang Ceyong, has never achieved this.
This was also the fundamental reason for Mai Lang to risk his life.
On this day, three albums of "Love at First Sight" were released together.
The physical album sold 390,000 copies on the first day!
That's right, on the first day, the physical version of the album for foreign markets sold 390,000 copies.
This is a data that is difficult to come across in the best era of singers. You must know that at that time, the physical version of the album sold more than 200,000 copies on the first day, which was an inevitable 300 gold album, which means that the total sales volume will exceed
three million!
Electronic version sales, 140,000 copies.
The electronic version is expensive, but it actually sold 140,000 copies, which makes people lament that times are changing.
The scariest thing is, the digital version.
On Penguin Music's first day, "Love at First Sight" sold 480,000 copies.
On the first day of new music, "Love at First Sight" sold 370,000 copies!
1.39 million tickets on the first day!
Single day platinum record!
Last year, the album with the highest sales in the whole year only sold 1.21 million copies in a single year!!
In one day, it directly broke the album sales record of the past three years.
The major music companies are going crazy.
Almost all field staff have returned.
All studying "Love at First Sight".
An Lan has been called the future of the music industry by many first-line singers and even queens and kings since her debut, and is called the little queen by her fans. This is no joke.
This kind of data would have been frightening even during the craziest era of the music scene twenty years ago.
Twenty years ago, during the most glorious era of the music scene, the highest annual album sales in a single region was around 4 million copies.
Even eight years ago, in the afterglow era of physical albums, Chuck Cheung had never achieved one million sales in a single week.
Single day? Million? Platinum?!
In fact, this album sales did not surprise Han Zhou.
Han Zhou compared it with the grassroots king who had the strongest album sales he had ever seen.
He sold six million copies a year, and pirated albums sold 20 million copies.
This is too scary.
At present, China has cracked down on pirated music, and the sales of digital albums should have rebounded.
As for An Lan's album, Han Zhou put out so many songs just to become an instant hit.
Build your reputation as a gold medal songwriter.
To put it simply, Han Zhou’s ambition is to have an album with the same name as Wang Jianing.
Wang Jianing has trained a superstar songwriter who is a queen.
He is a lot younger than 50 years old, and he has been working in this industry for 30 years.
With the reputation he has accumulated throughout his life, if Han Zhou wants an album to reach such a status, he must produce something good.
Han Zhou took out four of the top ten songs in his previous life and century-old music rankings!
The number one hit song of the year for nine years in the past life.
There are fourteen songs, all of which were at least the top ten hits in the previous life.
Put together this unparalleled album.
It is impossible for Han Zhou to write another album like this.
Because this album was composed of 12 songs that Han Zhou sold to Mai Lang at almost the highest price on the market when Han Zhou was still not famous. The price was 12 million.
Moreover, 8% of the proceeds belong to Han Zhou.
The copyright of only two chorus songs belongs to Han Zhou himself.
Now, if you sell one album of this album, Han Zhou will share the money.
Major TV stations asked An Lan to sing once and Han Zhou shared the money.
In the future, Han Zhou will enjoy the status of a super gold medal songwriter and will never be able to put together an album with so many excellent songs.
Unless Han Zhou makes another album by himself, or An Lan needs to rush into foreign markets and make a foreign language album.
Otherwise, it is absolutely impossible.
Lando Music, a group of people sitting together, looking at the data, looking at each other.
"One hundred...thirty-nine...ten thousand?!!"
The company's music director and three gold medal producers were stunned on the spot.
The boss of Lando Music: "This data is terrifying, but when you think about it, it's not that scary."
"Although An Lan has never performed abroad once, Mailang has actually penetrated all foreign markets in Southeast Asia and East Asia."
"Last month, "The Moon Represents My Heart", "Cloudy" and "Persistence" successively topped the Sakura Country radio on-demand list."
"Mai Lang spent at least 50 million to do this."
"The cost of this album will never be recouped."
"It's hard to say." Music Director: "As long as it becomes popular throughout Asia, you can make money back by attending any event."
"Mai Lang has been crazily promoting this album recently. It is true that there is no upper limit on promotional expenses, but they are not doing this to make a profit at a loss."
Boss Lando: "Do you really think Liu Jianxi is stupid? Spending the company's money to support his daughter? Why not just give her the inheritance and that's it?"
"The key is that Mai Lang doesn't have a prominent figure now."
"Tang Jie of Mailang, who has been a quasi-king for his whole life, has never become a king and cannot take action."
"And Suri is older. Although she is a queen, how long can a queen in her forties last?"
"Do you really think Liu Jianxi is crazy? You know, in the past month, various stations of Yangma have played the songs from this album seventeen times."
"However, what matters for this album is not only the promotion, but also the quality. These fourteen songs...this Han Zhou..."
"Find a way to get in touch with Han Zhou. It doesn't matter whether it works or not. I'll treat him to a meal and get to know him first."
…
Mailang music.
Almost all the top brass are together.
Zhao Qiao: "My suggestion is to sell "Childhood", "Story of Time" and "Later" as singles."
"Sales of singles exceeded 10 million."
"Although there are some singles that have sold more than 3 million in recent years, if you get the first 10 million, it is something worth bragging about."
Wang Jianing crossed his arms: "I don't think so. Selling singles will definitely affect the total sales of the album. I suggest that you wait until the total sales of the album in the first month have settled before releasing singles for purchase."
Suri: "I think selling singles from this album will not lower the total sales, but will actually boost the album's total sales."
"An'an is so powerful. The waves from behind pushed the waves ahead and swept us to death on the beach."
An Lan squeezed Su Rui's palm: "Sister Su, don't say that~"
Han Zhou didn't care about sales at all: "I suggest that the most urgent task now is to run the National Library and collect this album."
"Secondly, starting from today, An Lan is asked not to accept any more talk shows."
"Third, from today onwards, for all albums sold, there is a one in 10,000 chance of getting signed photos and souvenirs."
"In the past few days, An Lan will be here signing photos."
An Lan was speechless.
An Lan has a free and easy personality, but she actually doesn't like doing this.
But Han Zhou said so, and An Lan knew that there was a high probability that he would not be able to escape.
Although this album was promoted so vigorously by Mailang, it had this effect.
However, if the songs are not written well and the arrangements and production are good, who will buy into your promotion?
What's more, Han Zhou's recent display of operational and publicity capabilities is obvious to all.
Liu Jianxi: "I understand the first point. If the National Library collects the digital version of this album, it can indeed be bragging within the industry."
"What's the reason for not accepting talk shows?"
Han Zhou: "Because An Lan has accepted too many variety shows and interviews recently, which has delayed her acting course."
No one expected that Han Zhou proposed this for this reason.
Recently, An Lan has accepted a lot of single-issue variety shows. It can be said that as long as you watch TV, you will definitely see variety shows featuring An Lan being broadcast.
This kind of publicity scale is the super promotion that Mailang has spent on all its resources in the past year.
If we count the cost, we can't afford it at least 300 million.
Now, is that too much?
Acting class?
Han Zhou: "Don't forget, An Lan's album is definitely a diamond-level album. A little more, a little less, doesn't make much difference."
"But the most critical thing for us next is "Summer of Idols" rather than holding a concert."
"When "Summer of Idols" airs, I need an An Lan who has superb acting skills and is famous as a little diva, not an An Lan who has exaggerated album sales and broken historical records because of promotion."
"This is of no use to our long-term planning."
Liu Jianxi frowned.
Because An Lan broke the historical record, that was the internal interest of Mailang Company.
If the direction of the road is changed, all the companies that cooperate this time will benefit.
Rather than being the exclusive benefit of Mailang.
Liu Jianxi raised his head, glanced at Su Rui, and then at Tang Jie.
Nowadays, the same old routine in the entertainment industry is no longer popular.
But abandoning the readily available benefits at this stage, all bets are placed on idol operations...
Seeing that Liu Jianxi was still hesitant, Han Zhou spoke again: "Don't forget, after each idol operation is launched, it needs a lot of exposure opportunities."
"If Mai Lang spends all his resources now to give An Lan alone."
"In the future, when everyone will expose the new idols they have created on various TV stations and make crazy money, Mai Lang can only watch."
Several other directors of the company also looked at Liu Jianxi.
To be honest, others did not side with Liu Jianxi, but with Han Zhou's point of view.
Because, after all, An Lan is Liu Jianxi's daughter. It's hard to say whether Liu Jianxi is thinking about the company's interests or his personal interests.
However, regarding idols making money, there are already reports here.
Mai Lang, a new singer, how long will it take to earn 5 million?
It took Han Zhou four days to earn his first five million dollars through the idol operation.
Money moves people's hearts.
Liu Jianxi looked at An Lan.
Before An Lan could speak, Han Zhou said, "My album doesn't need so much promotion, and it will definitely create a historical record."
"So, promotion is redundant for An Lan."
"On the contrary, it affects An Lan's condition."
"If something goes wrong in the most critical live performance because you are too tired, it will have the opposite effect."
No one heard much about other explanations.
You’ve all heard the saying, my album will definitely create a historical record even if I don’t promote it.
Wang Jianing: "Ma De, everyone is in a meeting, you are pretending."
"Zhao Qiao, whip him!"
Zhao Qiao: "Han Zhou is my idol, how can I whip him? Lao Wangji has a bad temper."
Wang Jianing: "???"
"Zhao Qiao, you are fifty years old. How can you say such disgusting words and say it so appropriately? I didn't realize that you have this talent. It would be a pity not to work in the business department with this talent."
Liu Jianxi was amused by the two idiots: "Okay, okay, stop joking, let's get down to business."
Han Zhou actually wants to promote this album more.
Why?
An Lan doesn't need it, Han Zhou does.
The status of a gold medal songwriter.
There are also two choruses, "My Love Is Missing" and "The Rooftop".
If the popularity of these two songs explodes, Han Zhou, as a singer, will now have two more masterpieces.
However, compared to the promotion needed by "Summer of Idols", An Lan's current promotion is indeed excessive.
The way of heaven damages more than it can and makes up for the deficiencies.
After the conversation was over, everyone else went about their own business.
An Lan turned over and sat on the desk, looking at Han Zhou: "Is there another reason you didn't tell me?"
Han Zhou nodded: "I don't want your album to sell too much."
An Lan was confused: "Why, you have money to share, aren't you short of money now?"
"For every million more albums you sell, you can earn tens of millions more."
Han Zhou shook his head: "The reason is very simple. The idol market in Bang Country has begun to play dirty tricks."
"They started to falsify the data."
"Soon, this trend will spread to China."
"People in Bangkok are petty and petty, and they are petty when they play with fake data. When you come to China, it will be a bit scary."
"At that time, any trash idol will dare to produce an album with sales of tens of millions."
"I hope your album's sales in a single year will exceed the sales volume here."
“When you let others make fake data, you should have a sense of awe in your heart so that it won’t be too fake.”
If An Lan promotes it on such a scale, this kind of album, which will definitely win all the music awards this year, will only sell tens of millions of copies.
Who is smart and has the nerve to create an idol album with over three million album sales?
Even if it exceeds one million, you have to think carefully about whether you will be caught, beaten, scolded, or exposed.
Another reason for this is that An Lan is young and there is a contrast.
If it were Chuck Cheung, fans would probably want to compete and step on each other to let them know that the truth can't be faked, and the fake can't be true.
However, other companies will not worry about older people, such as the records set by Chen Feng.
How old are Chen Feng’s fan base?
How could they come out to compete with people of the new age online just because their favorite singer’s album sales were overshadowed by fake data?
An Lan's fans are different.
An Lan is only twenty years old this year.
There are also a large number of young people among the fan base.
The combat effectiveness is extremely strong.
If there is an idol in the future who goes too far, An Lan's fans can mobilize at any time to rush the opponent to death.
Han Zhou’s purpose is to create a quality barrier for album production.
Han Zhou does not believe in the ethics of various companies, but Han Zhou believes in the spontaneous fighting power of fans.
Therefore, An Lan's album sales should not be too high.
If there is an idol who wants to manage one-tenth of An Lan's sales, then An Lan's fans will definitely not have much opinion, and they won't even bother to watch it.
It’s only one-tenth, who pays attention?
In other words, if An Lan's album sales are 10 million, others can operate fake data of 1 million.
If An Lan's album sales are 20 million, others can operate fake data of 2 million.
Han Zhou believes that if the three sons of Xinyu release an album, the sales volume will only be two million at most.
Then other companies can make fake data to this extent. How can they highlight the power of the three new entertainment talents in the future, or the power of the "Summer of Idols" group?
Therefore, An Lan’s album was suppressed.
This means that a relatively low sensitivity line can be drawn for the actual number of albums in the idol market.
This means that it is impossible for other companies to rely on fraud to surpass the idol groups launched by Xinyu Sanzi or "Summer of Idols".
This means that Han Zhou has blocked the first and second tiers of the idol market with the quality of his works.
In the future, those who make fake data will be second-rate idols at best and will not be first-rate.
If other companies want to produce first-class works, they need huge costs, but Han Zhou does not need any costs.
The competitive advantage is reflected.
If we all do fake things, one will be an internal friction issue and the other will be a capital issue.
Is New World better at cheating than other major music companies and entertainment companies?
Do you have the capital to do this fake thing?
Moreover, big capital fraud is difficult to detect.
But if a small company like New World commits fraud, others will dig it out for you in a matter of seconds.
Therefore, Han Zhou must keep the first-year sales of "Love at First Sight" at over 10 million.
The maximum cannot exceed 13 million.
The maximum cannot exceed fifteen million.
Han Zhou told An Lan his thoughts.
After thinking for a while, An Lan smiled: "It doesn't matter actually."
"Because, even if my sales volume is 20 million, and someone else operates an idol and cheats it to 2 million, I can still take the initiative to let the fans scold me."
Han Zhou: "Are you ready to become Master Miejie?"
An Lan was confused: "Who is Master Miejie?"
Han Zhou: "Well, I haven't published my novel idea yet. I mean, it's not good for your image if you do this."
An Lan didn't care at all: "I don't care about this. If anyone cheats, I can scold them."
An Lan has a free and easy personality, which is exactly what Han Zhou is worried about.
"No." However, Han Zhou wanted to protect An Lan, and he couldn't let An Lan charge into the battle just because An Lan was free and easy.
After all, An Lan was so crazy and invincible that he had to shout in the end: Yu Tuo, save me!
However, Han Zhou quickly thought of a way: "Ask your dad to focus all the main promotion on the Southeast Asian market and the Sakuraguobang domestic market."
"There are also Chinese markets in North America and Austria that will be promoted separately."
"Then let the media publicize the sales in these regions every day and list the sales in China separately."
"Create a strong impression on the market that domestic music and foreign music markets will be ranked separately."
In this way, the total sales volume can be increased and it can also act as a fuse.
An Lan: "I shouldn't go to these markets many times. If I do this..."
Han Zhou: "Have you ever thought about entering the international market? Impacting bulletin boards?"
An Lan was stunned for a moment.
Han Zhou: "When my fourth uncle asked me, I said that the future of the New World will definitely go to the American market."
"Whether it's movies or music."
An Lan looked at Han Zhou's serious face and raised the corners of his mouth slightly: "I never thought about it before, but now I do."
Han Zhou smiled: "I write songs."
An Lan smiled: "I'll sing."
"The two of us are killing each other!"
Han Zhou: "I'm only responsible for Gaga."
An Lan: "When will you release an album?"
Han Zhou: "I don't want to be stabbed now and not be able to release an album. I'm waiting for an opportunity, an opportunity to build a golden body."
An Lan thought for a while: "I'll help you get the National Day..."
Han Zhou interrupted: "No, I have a plan for this matter and will do it step by step."
"Build a golden body, it's better to do it later rather than sooner."
If it's still a sculpture the size of a fist, what's the use of molding a golden body? It turns the golden body into a shackle for oneself.
When it is six feet tall, it is time to build a golden body.
An Lan: "By the way, how long will it take for the special effects of "The Best in the World"?"
Han Zhou: "I have to talk to my fourth uncle about this matter. I want to raise a special effects team of my own."
"Preparing for future filmmaking."
An Lan nodded: "Now that the profits have increased, it's time to expand the scope."
When you get fat, you have to grow taller and wider, otherwise it becomes a ball that everyone can kick.

It's about diarrhea... I shouldn't have eaten the fast food that starts with K. It's relapsed again. I've updated so much today that I haven't saved it yet.
