For more than half a month, he has been running announcements in different cities while promoting his album. His daily schedule is full. He is already exhausted physically and mentally and urgently needs a good rest.
The "Provoking" album was finally officially released on the Internet, and the sales results were obviously promising, so he was finally able to sleep comfortably and regain his energy to deal with the upcoming work tasks.
He didn't wake up until 9 o'clock in the morning.
After stretching happily, Cui Zhengzhi put on his coat and ran to the bathroom to wash up.
There were no announcements scheduled for this morning, so there was no need for him to rush.
"sister!"
After cleaning, Cui Zhengzhi sat down at the desk outside and turned on the computer.
At the same time, he called his sister: "I'm up, what's for breakfast?"
The computer is starting up.
Cui Zhengzhi couldn't wait to see the sales results of his album and write a few more blog posts.
He unbuttoned his shirt to expose his chest, and prepared to take two selfies to post, along with a few words of exclamation. I believe it will definitely arouse fans' screams, and then implore fans to support him.
Of course, he did not forget to step on his competitors. He thought carefully about his words, preferably humorous.
A smile appeared on Cui Zhengzhi's face.
Fans call his smile, which he has practiced thousands of times, the "angel's smile" and have long been used to it.
Even if no one is around.
"Coming!"
As soon as the computer system entered the desktop, Cui Xiuyin walked in with a dinner plate: "I saw that you were sleeping deeply, so I didn't wake you up. Are you exhausted these days? Try your favorite abalone porridge, stew two
It’s been an hour.”
Cui Zhengzhi was in a good mood and said with a smile: "Put it here. I'll take a look at the sales results first."
"Well"
Cui Xiuyin hesitated for a moment, put down her plate and said, "Let's have breakfast first, and we'll look at it later."
Cui Zhengzhi was very sensitive and heard something was wrong in his sister's voice. He frowned and asked, "What?"
Cui Xiuyin forced a smile and replied: "It's okay, you have breakfast."
"No!"
Cui Zhengzhi shook his head and said, "There must be something wrong with you."
He thought: "Is it related to the sales of my album? Isn't the result good?"
Cui Xiuyin quickly said: "No, your sales are higher than Lu Chen!"
This is not right!
Cui Zhengzhi is not a fool. It is normal for the sales volume of "Provoking" to be higher than that of Lu Chen. Why should he emphasize it?
My sister's expression is even more wrong.
He did not continue to ask questions, opened the browser with the mouse, and quickly logged into Feixun Music Network.
Cui Zhengzhi saw the weekly sales list on the home page at the first glance, and "Provoking" ranked first.
Although it was only released on Tuesday night, the sales performance of his first album has been very good. In a total of 14 hours so far, the sales volume has reached 47,852 copies!
In just half a day, nearly 50,000 copies were sold, so a big sale is a given!
Domestically speaking, Feixun Music has the largest number of genuine downloads. If it exceeds 100,000 paid downloads, it is considered a hot seller. If it exceeds 300,000, it is considered a big seller. If it breaks through 50,000 on the first day, it will not be a problem to hit 300,000 total sales.
Cui Zhengzhi's face showed a smile again.
A false alarm!
But the next moment, his smile froze instantly, as if a petrification spell had been cast on him.
Because Cui Zhengzhi saw that Lu Chen's album "You at the Same Table" was ranked below his, with sales of 40,970!
There is only a difference of less than 7,000 photos!
How is this possible!
Cui Zhengzhi couldn't believe his eyes and couldn't help but stretched out his hand to rub them, suspecting that he was hallucinating.
In his opinion, it would be great if Lu Chen's album could sell 20,000 copies on the first day. 10,000 copies is very normal. It has only been 14 hours now. How can it exceed 40,000 copies and catch up with him?
Cui Zhengzhi suddenly thought of a question and asked in a deep voice: "How much did the company buy for me?"
Buying charts is nothing new. In order to create the illusion of hot sales, entertainment agencies often spend money to buy sales a few days before a singer releases an album and record it as publicity and promotion expenses.
Because the money spent is real money, no music website will control the behavior of buying charts. Even the Chinese Music Association will acquiesce in the results, which is an unspoken rule in the industry.
After all, the cost of buying charts is very high. It costs 5 yuan to increase the sales of a complete album. Spending more than ten or two hundred thousand to get a hot-selling gold record is enough. No matter how much you do, you will easily be regarded as stupid.
The buying list is very particular. Some sell on the first day or 72 hours, and some evenly distribute it to 7 or 10 days.
Just like Zou Bei and Ling Xiaoxiao, who were put on the shelves a few days ago, they must both be on the buy list. Otherwise, Ling Xiaoxiao, with his third-rate level of strength, can sell 50,000+ sales in 3 days?
Cui Zhengzhi signed a contract with Chengtian Entertainment. Chengtian Entertainment is famous for its deep pockets in the industry. This album has spent millions just promoting it, so spending money to buy some sales is an inevitable method.
Cui Xiuyin was silent.
An unknown anger suddenly rushed into Cui Zhengzhi's forehead, and a string called reason inside him was instantly broken.
He suddenly stretched out his hand and slapped the table hard, and shouted sternly: "Speak quickly!"
Cui Xiuyin trembled and whispered: "Ten thousand."
10,000!
Cui Zhengzhi's expression suddenly turned ferocious.
Deducting the 10,000 number of chart purchases, the actual sales volume of the "Provoking" album is less than 40,000!
If Lu Chen didn't buy it, it meant that he lost to the opponent on the first day!
Cui Xiuyin said: "Lu Chen must have bought the list, otherwise it would be impossible to be so high, it's impossible!"
Is this really the case?
Cui Xiuyin said it without any confidence.
Lu Chen is different from Cui Zhengzhi. Lu Chen is an independent artist. He does not have any contract company behind him. He just opened a small studio and runs it. He is not even willing to spend money on publicity. How can he spend a lot of money to buy charts?
If he simply wants to defeat Cui Zhengzhi and buy the list, how much money will he have to spend?
Is Lu Chen that stupid?
But Cui Zhengzhi seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw and said: "Yes, he must have bought the list!"
How could Lu Chen not be on the buying list? How could Lu Chen have sold more than him?
Definitely bought it!
…
"No!"
At the same time, Lu Chen, who had just finished exercising in the creative park, said to his mobile phone in confusion: "Why should I buy a list? How can I have so much money to burn?"
The person who called Lu Chen was Chen Jianhao. The bar owner actually asked him if he had spent money on Feixun Music to buy sales results. He gave a flat negative answer.
What a joke!
Lu Chen also wanted to make a fortune from album sales. At least he could recoup the cost. How could he spend such unjust money?
If he has money, how can he spend it on publicity and promotion? Isn’t the effect ten times better than buying a list?
Chen Jianhao chuckled on the phone and said, "I believe you, but some people don't believe it. I've been getting calls all over the phone to ask, so I'll call you and ask. If it's not there, then it's okay."
After saying that, he quickly cut off the call.
"Hey!"
Lu Chen didn't have time to ask any more questions, so he could only stuff the phone back into his pants pocket angrily.
But it feels like something good is happening!
He burst into laughter and ran toward the building where the studio was located.
Back in the office, as soon as Lu Chen walked in, he saw all the colleagues in the studio, including his sister Lu Xi and Li Mubai, standing in a row and looking at him with smiles.
Lu Chen was stunned for a moment: "What's wrong with you?"
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The next moment, with three dull explosions, three color spray guns were unscrewed by Li Feiyu, Chen Xiang and Li Mubai at the same time, and colorful colorful strips hit the ceiling and fell down one after another.
Floating on Lu Chen's head and body!
Lu Chen smiled and said, "What's going on?"
Li Mubai rushed up to him and gave him a big hug. He smiled and said, "Brother Chen, congratulations on your album's success!"
Lu Chen smiled: "Did it sell well?"
After "My Deskmate" was released last night, he stopped paying attention to sales. He just did whatever he needed to do, and canvassed votes for himself during the live broadcast of [Whale TV] and on his blog.
Even when he woke up in the morning, Lu Chen didn't even turn on the computer and ran outside to exercise.
Lu Chen's mentality is very good. No matter whether the sales volume is high or low, whether the cost can be recovered in the end, he doesn't particularly care, let alone worry about it.
It doesn't matter whether you succeed or fail happily. He has tried his best, so he has no regrets!
But now that he had received a surprise, Lu Chen was still very happy.
Who thinks it’s too much money?
Lu Xi smiled and said: "Everyone has been waiting for you for a long time, just waiting for you to come back to celebrate. Feiyu even went to the supermarket to buy a few colorful tubes to give you a good start!"
Lu Chen smiled and said, "Thank you everyone."
He had made a guess when he received an inquiry call from Chen Jianhao before, but now it has been confirmed.
"My Deskmate" sold very well!
"Not only is it very good, it is definitely a big seller!"
Li Mu Baixing hurriedly pulled him to the computer, pointed at the screen and said: "Look!"
Lu Chen immediately saw that his album was only ranked below Cui Zhengzhi on Feixun Music's weekly sales list, with current sales of 41,137!
More than 40,000 photos!
Such a large amount was sold in less than 24 hours, so it is definitely a big sale.
Because of such achievements, there is every chance to hit the 300,000 sales red line!
And if 300,000 copies are really sold, then the total sales will reach 2.4 million, and the 50% share is 1.2 million. After deducting 10% of the sales income tax and production and publicity costs, there will be a profit of at least 600,000!
It may not seem like a lot, but you must know that most singers sell albums online, and they are considered successful if they can earn back the publicity costs.
Even for big names like Tan Hong and Filia Chen, their albums will definitely sell well, but the cost of production and promotion is often extremely high, and they will never be able to make a profit from this.
Earning hundreds of thousands from online sales is really incredible!
So there is every reason to celebrate!
Lu Chen took a deep breath and let the joy flood his body.
After all the hard work, it’s finally time to reap the rewards——
