After finalizing the plans and arrangements related to Filia Chen with his sister, Lu Chen felt confident and sat down in the study.
Turning on the computer, he first logged into the Inspur blog, and found that many people in the industry who followed each other had @him, celebrating the release of the new album and wishing it a good sale.
This morning, Lu Chen's third album "Lu Chen" was officially launched nationwide. The digital version of the album will be released on Feixun Music at 9 o'clock for all fans to purchase and download. Listen first!
It was now past 10 o'clock. After Lu Chen replied to a few friends on his blog, he clicked on Feixun Music's main website to check the sales of digital albums.
225370!
According to data from Feixun Music, in just over an hour, the new album "Lu Chen" was purchased and downloaded by more than 200,000 people!
The world's record industry has long been in decline. The previous tapes and CDs have basically withdrawn from the stage. Although CD records still have a market among specific groups of people, they are completely incomparable to those before.
After entering the new century, digital music is the real mainstream.
This time Lu Chen released a new album, using a simultaneous online and offline model. Online is a digital album, and offline is a CD set of different versions.
Relying on the huge fan base, the relatively expensive offline pre-sales have achieved excellent results, and the online distribution is also very popular. After all, a set of genuine digital albums now only costs 10 yuan, which is equivalent to
1 song is 1 yuan, no matter which fan can pay for it.
But more than 200,000 units were sold in one hour, which was really a record-breaking one, reaching a point where other singers completely looked up to her!
Excluding channel expenses, the cost of digital version production and distribution can be said to be negligible. 200,000 is equivalent to 2 million in sales, and the profit is astonishing.
And this is just the beginning. According to this hot sales trend, it may not be a dream to exceed one million on the first day!
However, Lu Chen was not overjoyed. Faced with the surprise of Filia Chen being pregnant and about to become a father, whether it was 200,000 or 1 million first-day sales, it was nothing.
In contrast, he is more concerned about the market reputation of this new album.
The new album "Lu Chen" contains 5 old songs and 5 new works. The 5 old songs are not actually old, they were just released last year, but the new works are really new.
In terms of the style of the album, "Lu Chen" shows diverse characteristics. The works in it cover folk songs, love songs and Chinese style, and the latter is exactly what he focuses on.
From "Jiangnan" to "A Laugh from the Sea" to "Blue and White Porcelain", Lu Chen's positioning for his third album is to build on the past and create new trends, but whether he can win the recognition and love of fans depends on what happens in the past few days.
Market reaction.
"What are you looking at?"
While Lu Chen was browsing the web, Filia Chen, who had just finished washing up, also came to the study.
Lu Chen stretched out his hands and asked Filia Chen to sit on him.
Holding his lover in his arms and smelling her fragrance, Lu Chen said with a smile, "I'm looking at the album sales."
"yes!"
Filia Chen twisted her body to make herself sit more comfortably and asked: "How is it?"
"good…"
Lu Chen said lightly: "More than 200,000 sets have been sold."
Filia Chen opened her eyes wide: "This is asking for one million dollars on the first day. Oh, I also want to release a new album!"
Lu Chen said sternly: "Whatever new album comes out, your job now is to raise babies and give birth to children!"
Filia Chen smiled and said, "Then I won't work anymore, and you have to support me."
Lu Chen couldn't get what he wanted: "I will support you for the rest of my life!"
The two of them stayed cozy in the study for a while, and then went out to have lunch together.
As a result, as soon as I came downstairs, my sister called me. She wanted to talk to Filia Chen about something at noon.
Her pregnancy is really a big deal.
After lunch, Lu Chen rushed to Wangfujing Xinhua Bookstore to attend the signing ceremony of the new album.
According to the plan, in the next week, he will fly to many major cities in China to conduct album signing activities and at the same time build momentum for his first nationwide concert tour.
This was a predetermined arrangement that could not be changed due to the unexpected pregnancy of Filia Chen. However, after the concert, Lu Chen decided to significantly reduce his work and spend more time with his lover.
The book signing started at 2 o'clock. Lu Chen rushed to the bookstore of Xinhua Bookstore at 1:20, only to find that the place was already packed with people. From the first floor to the third floor, they were packed to the brim!
Although the bookstore arranged a lot of staff to maintain order, the scene was obviously beyond their expectations. A staff member held up an electric horn and shouted desperately, asking everyone to line up and maintain order.
"Lu Chen! Lu Chen!"
Most of these enthusiastic fans are young people, and most of them are girls. They hold the new album that has just been released and shout Lu Chen's name loudly.
Seeing this posture, Lu Chen, who was used to big scenes, was also startled.
He came up from the internal elevator of the bookstore, so he immediately discussed with the staff to start the book signing in advance to avoid a chaotic scene.
When Lu Chen appeared in front of the fans, the whole floor was boiling!
"Thank you everyone!"
Lu Chen took the electric speaker and said to a crowd of extremely excited fans: "I will start signing autographs now. I only have a small request. I hope everyone will be patient in queuing and not to be crowded. As long as you come today, I guarantee that everyone will have a chance, even if
I will also finish signing at night!"
The autograph signing point is on the third floor, and the queue of fans goes from the inside of the third floor to the entrance of the first floor. You can imagine the workload if you want to sign all the tickets.
But Lu Chen didn't want to disappoint his fans who had worked so hard to support him, so he started working immediately.
Fans come up one after another, smile, communicate, sign autographs, and take photos. It seems simple, but when the number accumulates into hundreds or thousands, it is definitely a very hard work.
From about 1:20 in the afternoon until about 5 o'clock, Lu Chen basically rested except for drinking water a few times. His face became stiff from smiling, his throat began to become hoarse, and his signing hand became swollen.
If he hadn't been physically strong enough and strong enough, he wouldn't have been able to hold on.
In the end, it was the fans who felt distressed. Although the fans at the back of the queue had been waiting for several hours, seeing how hard Lu Chen was working, they all said they did not want to sign autographs and would be satisfied if they could just take a photo together.
This made Lu Chen feel warm in his heart. After returning home in the evening, he updated his blog.
The content is very simple, just a photo of the autograph signing site and a sentence.
