Prior to this, Penguin Music did not support real-time viewing of album/single sales, and would only refresh it every 24 hours.
But for the launch of "Zhou Ziwu" this time, Penguin Music has done a lot of activities.
First of all, the technical department specially created a double-ended activity page for "Zhou Ziwu" that supports real-time viewing of sales results. In order to stimulate sales, it also launched activities with huge discounts.
When the total sales of "Zhou Ziwu" exceed 10 million, each user who has purchased the album will receive a one-day Penguin Music membership; if it exceeds 20 million, it will be for seven days; and if it exceeds 50 million, this
The number will become thirty days.
And if it can exceed 100 million, then on the basis of the previous benefits, the first 100 users who purchase the digital album will also receive a signed physical album of "Zhou Ziwu" and three signed photos.
In fact, the original suggestion given by Penguin Music was to replace the first 100 users with purchases with the top 100 users with the largest number of purchases, and even continue to provide additional benefits to the top ten.
For example, record an exclusive voice, shoot an exclusive thank you video, or go directly to a big one and get free tickets for the concert for life, etc.
Doing so will not only give back to those true fans, but also further stimulate everyone's enthusiasm for buying the new album.
However, after some thinking, Zhou Ziwu gave up this proposal.
If you do this, you will make more money, but it will be like cutting leeks, and the food will look a bit ugly.
And he is also worried about one thing, that is, some immature "children" will do things like "pouring milk" in order to earn so-called face among the fans, or simply for an autograph.
It's better to use your hand speed. Those who can grab the top 100 in the huge crowd are also true fans.
The most important thing is that it doesn't cost too much.
"Dad, it's been an hour."
Zhou Ziwu reminded Zhou Wenshan.
Zhou Wenshan heard this, nodded slightly, and then moved the mouse to the refresh button of the active page.
Press the left button.
At this moment, Zhou Wenshan's heart was beating very fast.
Whether it is popular but not popular, or whether it is popular and popular, it all depends on this.
Don't look at the previous news about the release of the album that caused a lot of excitement, but if the sales performance is poor, it will also become the object of everyone's ridicule.
The employees behind the computer also held their breath and concentrated on waiting for him to release the mouse.
"clatter."
The silent mouse made a very small rebound sound.
The page refreshes.
On the screen, the first two points of the sales progress bar have turned green.
This means that after one hour, the sales of "Zhou Ziwu" have exceeded 20 million.
The album priced at 10 yuan, including repurchases, has exceeded 2 million copies!
“ohhhhhh!
"yes!
"pretty!"
There were huge cheers, screams, and howls in the studio, and everyone was as happy as crazy.
This is the first answer sheet they have handed over to the outside world after switching jobs.
Before this, they were under tremendous pressure to change jobs. Their families did not understand, and their friends persuaded them. No one knew why they gave up their jobs in big companies and came to work as small screws in a start-up studio.
Now, they use this perfect answer sheet to respond to the questions of family and friends.
That's why I came.
Zhou Wenshan announced with a smile: "I'll get off work in a while. Don't leave, everyone. I'll treat you to a hotel. You can choose the hotel."
"ohhh!"
"Mr. Zhou is very generous!"
…
Three o'clock in the afternoon.
Cool Cat Music Headquarters.
In the office, Yi Shu sat on a chair, looking at his phone, with the corners of his mouth twitching.
And on the screen of his mobile phone, there was the activity page of Penguin Music's "Zhou Ziwu".
Three hours have passed, and now the sales of the album have reached 42 million, more than 4 million copies!
Although the upward trend has slowed down, it remains strong.
With this achievement, it has entered the top ten of the music industry's digital album/single sales list, reaching the ninth position.
And this list, unlike those daily and monthly lists, is not refreshed. In other words, other people's sales for months or even years were caught up by Zhou Ziwu in three hours.
Moreover, it is still in the top ten!
In fact, if you look at the top ten on the list, you will find that except for Tan Miao, who is fifth, the others are basically traffic stars.
It's not because the sales of the older generation of singers are failing, but because in their era, everyone had physical records, and there was no such thing as digital albums.
The physical record sales they achieved back then were not included in this list.
In addition, the older generation of singers who have made money have disappeared one by one in recent years, and few new songs have been released, which has resulted in the top positions in the rankings being occupied by traffic stars.
As for Tan Miao, the only non-traffic person on the list, his "Tan Tan" was already six years ago. According to the three-year generation gap calculation, "Tan Tan" has already had two generation gaps with today's people.
, so in terms of sales, it is naturally not as good as the new albums released in the past two years.
Can you really surpass Tan Miao?
This incredible idea suddenly appeared in Yi Shu's mind.
Of course, it is incredible that before today, now, the difference between "Zhou Ziwu" and "Tan Tan" is only over 30 million.
If it continues to develop at this momentum, it is basically inevitable that it will surpass "Tan Tan".
And he was the person in charge of competing with Penguin Music for the copyright of "Zhou Ziwu".
The situation at that time was that after several rounds of offers from the five mainstream music platforms, only Cool Cat and Penguin were left.
He hesitated for a moment, and then the copyright of "Zhou Ziwu" fell into the hands of Penguin.
At that time, he was still laughing at Penguin for not understanding the market.
But now, it turned out that he didn't understand Zhou Ziwu.
The hand that Yi Shu held on his forehead had already been inserted into his hair and started to pull his hair.
If he had known about the current situation, he would have fought Penguin to the end no matter what.
Now, all the benefits have been taken away by the other party, and they haven't even gotten a hair out of it.
Why didn't you insist on it in the first place?
It must be a bad name, easy to pronounce, and it sounds unlucky.
He decided to change his name to Yiying later.
…
Online.
Netizens have already blown up this piece of "Zhou Ziwu".
"Zhou Ziwu is awesome! "Zhou Ziwu" is awesome!"
"He is trying to become a god!"
"Now I finally understand why those people gave such high evaluations before the album was released. As for Xia Guofeng, there is nothing that can compete with this song "Blue and White Porcelain". This album is really worth it."
"The lyrics of "Blue and White Porcelain" are really amazing! When listening to the song, it seems like a landscape painting has been sketched in my mind. In the painting, there are misty and rainy Jiangnan towns, and there are graceful beauties in white clothes. This implicit and fresh painting
The artistic conception is so beautiful!”
"I really envy you educated people. I only know one thing: F*ck. That's awesome."
"I feel that even if Zhou Ziwu quits the industry now, the songs he has released now are enough to last him a lifetime."
"Definitely, just being the founder of Xia Guofeng has already left his name in the history of the music industry."
"Originally, I thought that "Preface to Orchid Pavilion" was already an insurmountable mountain in Xia Guofeng's songs. Unexpectedly, another song "Blue and White Porcelain" came here. Sure enough, the only one who can defeat Zhou Ziwu is Zhou Ziwu."
"Yes, when it comes to Xia Guofeng, he himself is the leader, and everyone else is still catching up."
"Zhou Ziwu's song is really small but exquisite, with three songs, the first of which is excellent!"
Guo Xu, the "Guo Da Pao" who has always been known to be all-powerful in the entertainment industry, even after Chu Qingqiu won the Golden Mask Award, directly targeted the entire Golden Mask Award and defined it as a "award-grabbing tool".
Posted a Weibo that can be called "nasty".
[After listening to this short and concise "Zhou Ziwu", I just want to say.
"Blue and White Porcelain" teaches a lesson to all lyricists;
"Nocturne" offers a lesson to all arrangers;
Together, the two songs teach a lesson to all songwriters;
"Because of Love" shows what is a model of love songs duet between men and women. This time "Zhou Ziwu" can be said to be a teaching game for musicians.
To be honest, until now, I still can't believe that such an album was produced by a young man in his early twenties who debuted less than a year ago.
The gap between geniuses and ordinary people is really wider than that between humans and dogs.】
"Oh my god, is this still the Teacher Guo I know? He actually started praising others! Could it be that his account has been hacked?"
"Haha, it's true that he rarely praises people, but his attitude towards Zhou Ziwu seems to have always been quite gentle. In my impression, Zhou Ziwu is the only top traffic person he has ever praised."
"You're not the only one, I remember he also praised Chu Qingqiu for singing well."
"You missed one sentence, [much better than your acting skills]."
"It's enough to say that Zhou Ziwu is a traffic star, right? Don't compare him with those traffic stars. It's just that there are many people who like him. He has never been a traffic star!"
"right."
…
Mango TV.
Xiang Shiyong also shook his fist happily.
His bet was indeed right!
Look at the horrific sales and the rave reviews.
He has already begun to look forward to the day when the next "So You're Still Here" on the station, with Zhou Ziwu's addition, will break the ratings record of "The Strongest Voice".
Xiang Shiyong feels that bringing Zhou Ziwu into his own camp is the most correct decision he has made in the past year.
…
"Zhou Yun, this opportunity to be on the show is hard-won. You have to know how to cherish it. Don't stand there like a telephone pole like before. This is a comedy variety show, so when necessary, you can do more
It's better to be a little ugly and make everyone laugh than to have no one pay attention, right?"
After listening to what his agent sister said, Zhou Yun nodded silently.
"Come on."
The agent patted his shoulder and turned to leave.
Looking at her back, a trace of unwillingness flashed across Zhou Yun's face.
Yi Shu felt that it was his name that led to the final failure, but Zhou Yun proved to him that people and talents have nothing to do with their names.
His name is Zhou Yun, and he is not lucky either.
In "New Voice Season", he defeated Zhou Ziwu and stepped on the opponent's "corpse" to ascend to the throne.
During "The Strongest Sound", he became the green leaf that set off Zhou Ziwu. By the end of "The Strongest Sound", the gap between the two was already a chasm.
But now, Zhou Ziwu's first album has entered the top ten of the sales list, but he has to make a fool of himself in a comedy variety show to attract attention.
It can be said that he is no longer in the same dimension as Zhou Ziwu.
Even if he lowers his head, he can't see himself, a little person smaller than an ant.
"Buzz~"
Zhou Yun, who was in the emo mood, suddenly felt the phone in his pocket vibrate.
He took out his cell phone and saw a Fetion message from Zhou Ziwu.
Zhou Ziwu: [Are you so jealous of me now that you want to become my disciple on the spot? [doge]]
Zhou Yun suddenly laughed. He was very touched that Zhou Ziwu did not forget to ridicule himself despite his busy schedule.
【roll!】
Zhou Ziwu: [Haha, let’s get together when you are free. 】
[No time! I am very busy, and there are many variety shows waiting for me. However, for you, I can spare a day.]
Zhou Ziwu: [You really... I cried to death. Then we agreed, when I make an appointment with you someday, don’t say that you are too busy with work. 】
[Well, let’s not talk anymore. My manager has urged me to leave for the show crew. 】
Zhou Ziwu:【ok】
Seeing that the other party stopped replying, Zhou Ziwu smiled, shook his head, and put away his phone.
He is now contacting Zhou Yun. Firstly, he admires this guy who has great singing skills and good image. Secondly, people who do not have long-term concerns will always have short-term worries.
The studio is developing well now, but he can't always be the only one supporting the scene.
If you want to be bigger and stronger, you must have other talented artists. Walking with more legs will not only make you more stable, but also faster.
And Zhou Yun was the first person he wanted to poach.
…
night.
"Zhou Ziwu" continues to work hard.
In terms of sales, it has exceeded 55 million, ranking seventh, only two places behind Tan Miao's "Tan Tan".
As for the singles charts, regardless of daily charts, monthly charts, soaring charts, new song charts, etc., the top three are all firmly occupied by three songs from "Zhou Ziwu".
"Nocturne" and "Blue and White Porcelain" are competing for the top spot, while "Because of Love" stays in the third position.
At the end of the month on the 25th, he spent half a day rushing into the top three of the monthly rankings, trampling on others' efforts for more than half a month. Only a person like Zhou Ziwu could do this.
The release of his first album has also boosted the popularity of his previous songs.
As a result, he occupied nine of the top ten spots on the list.
"Why only nine songs?"
Zhou Ziwu looked at the phone screen, rubbed his chin, and said doubtfully.
Chu Qingqiu on the side was speechless.
Is this what people call it?
As for why she was so speechless, it was because the other song was her "Meeting".
…
Gan Wenliang is one of the judges of the Golden Melody Award.
Today, among the vast number of submissions, he saw a familiar name that had been frequently scrolling through the screen during this period, Zhou Ziwu.
After checking the email sent by the other party, Gan Wenliang showed a trace of confusion on his face.
Although the songs they sent should be enough to win the award, did they really not consider sending "Nocturne" and "Blue and White Porcelain" together?
