Compared with the production cost of the record, the promotion cost of the record in Taiwan is even greater. Yang Can saved this money and spent 20 million Taiwan dollars on the design of the record and the shooting of the mv, and of course he also took out a certain amount of money. Let Chen Jianing operate the promotion of record channels, and the first batch of 30,000 records entered the major record shops as scheduled.
The shooting, image design, and director are all top-notch in Asia. To be honest, this is almost a record for the packaging of a newcomer, and it can even be compared with the queens and queens on the market. This has also caused the industry peers to question:
"Why is this mainlander so confident that he has squeezed so much money? Isn't he afraid that the National Congress party will eventually fail, and even make s2 a short-lived one?" After all, anyone in this unpredictable industry wants to succeed. First of all, we must learn to be cautious.
With the passage of time, the situation has slowly changed. After five speeches, the support rate of the National University has unexpectedly risen. The opinion polls of the three major television stations on the island show that in the last half month before the general election, Tainan's support rate The support rate of the two parties has grown from the one among the democratically elected parties to a balance of power between the two parties.
Among the 450,000 votes, the democratically elected party originally expected to get nearly 350,000, but now this number is plummeting, thirty-four, thirty-three, thirty-two...until the final two hundred and fifty thousand...
All the media on the island are beginning to use one word as a headline to describe the situation of the democratically elected party in Tainan-"Crash!!!"
"Good news, Deputy "Chairman" Yang, many hostile media have begun to guide us. Senator Xu is already inviting s2 to be his next guest in the election of the mayor of Taipei." On the phone, Wang Xinping laughed calmly. But there is a trace of ecstasy that is hard to hide.
Yang Can has no time to pay attention to these speculators in the National Congress. He remembers the way they opposed with both hands before. Now he cares about the record market. The better the momentum of the election, the more influence of s2 will gain. The higher the level, whoever the top media wants to cooperate with will be able to cooperate with. He now needs to promote the sales of s2 records.
I called Chen Jianing and told him to lead the staff of the company to devote himself to marketing. The top record guys have already been gearing up and realizing that the election may succeed. This is the period when s2’s popularity is the most popular. The media commentary is The focus of these days is all that the twins are MCA’s greatest contributors in turning things around in Tainan, and they are the lucky stars of the National Congress.
The new week has begun, and new records have been put on the market. This week, in addition to the top record s2 "Heart Dream", there are also South Korean f(x), the island's dance queen Xiao Yaxuan's record to join the record battle.
Behind the two major singers is a South Korean sm entertainment agent, and the other is one of the largest record companies on the island. The gold medalist Gale, each of the promotion and production costs on the record is more than ten times that of s2, but their first batch of printing There are only 15,000 records.
But there is one thing that Yang Can did not expect. Although the number of the company’s first batch of records was astonishing, the major record houses obviously lacked the confidence of the newcomer s2, and there was no pre-sale activity for the old song "Fans", so they were not willing to Large purchases have led to a large inventory of records.
Those college students and otaku have long been hotly discussed on the Internet, and the s2 on TV was "fascinated". Many people were tempted to seduce them. Even the torn skirts when s2 first appeared on the scene would Fashion experts on the island call it the best "extraordinary" fashion this year. Many school students and hotel girls have learned to dress up and become novel and unique scenery.
I heard that getting the photos of "Heart Dream" on the front page can get s2's just-established official song "fan" club qualification, s2 crowded into the record shop.
As the largest record store in Taipei, Popular Records, the song "fans" has already been crowded in. The inventory of one hundred and fifty copies of "Heart Dream" was sold out in one morning, and the salesperson has been constantly hearing people's inquiries throughout the day. : "Where is s2's "Heart Dream"? I don't know how many times this sentence.
"Come on? It's only on the first day today. You told me it's sold out?" Several fashionable boys and girls who couldn't buy the record were dissatisfied, yelling and glaring at the record clerk almost as if she was an enemy. .
The clerk in his early twenties was also helplessly wiping the sweat from his forehead, looking at these boys and girls, smiling and persuading:
"In fact, you can buy other records, such as f(x), and Xiao Yaxuan's records. They are all good." The clerk didn't want to make his performance better, but he could only blame his store manager. I don’t know the goods, and I only want to enter such a small number of records, but Xiao Yaxuan’s records have entered 500..
"F(x)? It's in Korean.. There will be an autograph session next month, and Song Qian seems to be coming." The short-haired girl took the record and looked a little hesitant. She asked her companion next to her. The girls all shrank their mouths and shook their heads: "Don't do this." The girl in a short skirt standing next to the poster looked at the f (x) poster with some disdain:
"They are all Koreans, just one or two who speak Mandarin. It's almost enough to coax those dumb boys who are not discerning. I haven't seen anyone in their fan club for a year. I heard that Sui Sifen and Sui Siqi belong to Huagang. , I will support them~!"
A young man also nodded: "They are not only from Taiwan, the songs are really good, and they have to be local high-quality records~!"
Several girls and boys shouted. They all saw s2 on TV. Some people are "fascinated" by their fashion, some are attracted by their appearance, some are moved by music, and more are Because I am following the "tide" flow, I want to catch up with this hot "tide" with everyone.
The clerk almost couldn’t stand it. The manager looked at their turbulent mood and ruined his intestines. After dialing the phone to get the distributor to deliver the goods as soon as possible, he was finally "forced" to be the most conspicuous in the store. There is a sign in the place, which indicates that "Heart Dream" has been sold out, please come back tomorrow.
In the two weeks before the election, some people were happy and some were worried. In the first week, "Heart Dream" recorded sales of more than 5,700 and ranked sixth, which is only second among new records. Yu Xiao Yaxuan’s pre-order reached 10,000 albums, and the album of sjm, which ranked first on the *** twelve weeks in a row, has been sold at a high level due to the popularity of the idol drama "Gorgeous Challenge" by sjm members. .
Surprisingly, there is another record, which is the x of f(x). It makes people in the industry fall through the eyes. It is not that the results are too good, but the results are too bad. It was originally expected to get *** in the first week. Unexpectedly in the first five, due to the same superposition of the girl group and the s2 audience group, the sales volume of the first week has been greatly reduced except for the first day, and it almost lingered in the end..
Obviously it was a complete failure.
South Korea’s sm entertainment was also extremely shocked. The gold medal record producer Sung Joon himself was shocked when he got the report. He didn’t understand what happened. The score of 1,200 records on the first Monday was four points higher than the previous record. One is less than one, this is sm's worst performance in the past three years.
What exactly happened here! ? Cheng Junhe collapsed almost instantly.
The professional music critics in Taiwan's g-music sales rankings say this:
"Sm repeated their previous model again this time, trying to use simple repetitive electronic music to create a pop effect, but unfortunately, after the intensive Korean electronic music bombing over the past few years, young people on the island have clearly appeared. In addition to aesthetic fatigue, especially when he is scheduled to overlap with s2's girl group.
The production and Taiwan’s s2 have used facts to teach Koreans. When Chinese natives appear in pop idol production and there are singers that match the Korean group in these aspects, then music is the core that determines the sales of records. Those Although the popular music of electronic music in nightclubs is "fascinating", young people actually prefer the sunny, crystal-clear song spirit.
When s2 appeared on the screen with a microphone, you looked at their clear eyes and listened to their warm voices, it is probably not difficult for the Koreans to understand why their proud combination was completely defeated by the twins.
Of course, in the variety show "Are there any college students" on Zhongtian Comprehensive Channel, Tao Jingying, the famous host of the Avenue of Stars in Duojie, was also asked by reporters about s2 and f(x). She smiled mercilessly. Evaluation:
"Those Korean groups are fine~ But their music is just like their faces. They are all produced through the same production line. There is no "sex". The song of s2 is different. I just heard their "Heart "Dream" repeatedly returned to the same as I heard Teresa Teng’s songs before. I was moved at my age. What's more, for those children, I have bought one and kept it at home for my children to listen to, lest they learn girls every day. Korean is spoken in the age, so we should listen to our Mandarin songs more."
With these words, people who like Korean pop culture on the Internet have once again begun to bombard, criticizing Tao Jingying's lack of taste and outdated appreciation level, but this time the words of the female host who has always been known for her sharpness have been met by everyone. It is widely agreed that almost all the media on the island are leaning on Tao Jingying's side.
"Chinese music is not dead, and the girl group on the island has won the Hallyu in all aspects~" "s2 drives a new flow of Chinese music, the perfect combination of classical and popular."
Of course, there are still many discordant voices. I don’t know if it was deliberately done by the democratically elected party. Some photos of Sui Sifen and Sui Siqi serving as betel nut Xi Shi appeared on the Internet. Dou Da's text stated that the sisters had done it "'Sex' Service"
As soon as the news came out, although the two little nizis forced a smile, they secretly wiped their tears at night. Yang Can secretly mobilized his media influence and invited several Taiwan media industry leaders for dinner as a member of the Association of Recorders, and forcibly suppressed them. This inferior trick of the democratically elected party, at the same time, let old K's colleagues help to find the source of the news in a short time, and let the reporters under the banner show the suspects caught by the police.
The time before and after was only three days, and its thunderous method made the democratically elected party feel that it was unexpected...
Sui Sifen made a special trip to Yang Can in the middle of the night and sent a box of facial masks to Yang Can. He lowered his face and said, "Thank you, Dong Yang.." He glanced apologetically: "Before us...especially me. Sister, I'm sorry to say a lot of ignorant things.. Don't mind." She feels like she is in the clouds and mist now, and it feels like the world is different overnight.
This Sui Sifen Xiao Nizi was embarrassed and pretended to apologize to her by pretending to be her sister. This made Yang Can a little bit dumbfounded, and she could only narrow her mouth and said, "Thank you..." A man has never used this in his life
"I'll do it." Seeing Yang Can clumsy and not knowing where to start, and wanting to throw the mask aside, Sui Sifen slowly took a pot of hot water towel facial cleanser and put Yang Canen on the bench. , Asked him to close his eyes, wash his face carefully, and then apply the mask.
Yang Can is indeed tired, lying on the back of the sofa enjoying the feeling of being served by others. To be honest, he is a man born to work and has been in the army. He is not accustomed to being served. He always feels not used to it, but Sui Sifen is by his side I didn't feel anything uncomfortable.
I just feel that her small green hands are gentle and smooth, and it is very comfortable to brush her face on her face. Unconsciously, the whole person relaxes, and she can't help but admire: "Did you learn before?"
"Well, I worked in a beauty salon before..." Sui Sifen "touched" Yang Can's face so close, and suddenly her heartbeat accelerated. Even she herself didn't know why she took the initiative to make this request. She felt Yang Can's scorching heat. The body temperature feels strange inexplicably. Why does this uncle, who is usually annoying, feel so quiet and deep after he calms down
Sui Sifen sniffed Yang Can's unique scent, and couldn't help but move her face closer, trying to figure out what perfume he was using, but she was a little confused for a while.
Yang Can closed his eyes and felt the group of consciousness approaching, and couldn't help but laughed: "Don't smell it, the smell of smoke is nothing, and you will kiss you as soon as you get closer."
"It's not smoke..." Sui Sifen replied instinctively. Suddenly she woke up, her face blushed, and the whole person bounced a step away, reluctantly laughed, and learned Sui Siqi's tone: "Uncle...Don't talk nonsense, I just didn't hear it. You~~"
Yang Can smiled in her heart and it’s not easy to tear her apart, so that Sui Sifen, the little girl, would not be embarrassed. Sui Sifen cleaned up Yang Can and had a spy treatment. Yang Can looked refreshed and muttered in his heart. , If this black-faced boss takes more care and maintenance, the whole person will be much more handsome.
With the improvement of consciousness energy, Yang Can’s original "hairy" irritability has disappeared, but the free and easy "color" in his bones is gradually showing up. If a friend of three years ago saw him again , I am afraid that he will feel like a reborn person.
Yang Can's "sex" resembles the wind, but the deep sea-like aura is completely different from the surrounding men's "sex". Sui Sifen unconsciously glanced a few more times, his eyes staying on Yang Can's face.
"What's the matter?" Yang Can also "touched" and "touched" his face in a bit embarrassed manner, thinking that his face had been taken care of without any effect and disappointed her.
Sui Sifen suddenly ran out in a panic, making Yang Can dumbfounded.
Sui Sifen went back to the room blankly, jumped on her face, took a deep breath, covered her chest, buried her face in the pillow, and said to herself with a guilty conscience: "It's over, it's over, am I stupid? An idiot.. He must think that the little girl likes him..." Recalling the look in Yang Can's eyes, he was inexplicably disappointed in his heart.
Isn't he able to distinguish his two sisters? Didn't he see himself just now? Or did you see it and pretended not to see it on purpose
I was inexplicably worried about gains and losses, and spent the whole night turning over and over again.
In the second week, after the last two MCA speeches in Tainan were broadcast live across Taiwan, s2 combined with MCA after performing in the background. At the same time, they were listed on the g-music sales charts to summarize the sales of major albums. Data from hundreds of record shops in various parts of the country show.
s2's single album "Heart Dream" in the second week jumped to the top of the chart with a sales of 12,700 copies, and at the same time pulled down the number one single record chart of sjm's album for twelve weeks. .
As early as three days before the release of "Heart Dream", the phone of top record companies had been ringing non-stop, and all the variety shows were vying to invite s2 to record. They all regretted the indifferent sugar content when they contacted Chen Jianing. But at this critical moment, they will feel even more heartache if they can't get the newcomers who are overwhelmingly popular.
Now it’s Chen Jianing’s turn to select the show. Since the schedule of s2 is almost full, there will be several autograph sessions before the general election results, so only the invitation of "Kangxi is Coming" is accepted. This is still a special call to Lu Zibo for the host Cai Kangyong. The lobbyist agreed.
"Really~!? We are going to participate in Kangxi~!? We want to see the little s!?" Sui Siqi yelled with joy when he heard the news in the lounge, very excited, and the National Congress people in a good mood couldn't bear it. Zhu Hahe laughed, and didn't mean to blame at all.
Hu Defa sat next to Yang Can, looking at Sui Siqi with excitement, his eyes apologized: "Vice President Yang, I am not afraid to tell you honestly. In fact, I have always opposed using these two little girls as guests..."
Yang Can smiled slightly, knowing that Hu De’s remarks actually brought MCA to tell him. The news I received today, the latest poll, the support rate of the National Congress and the Democratic Party in Tainan surprised all ***ers, MCA actually Slightly ahead of competitors, this also means that the National Congress Party in Taiwan has regained a 4% disadvantage, and it is entirely possible to win the general election~!
Zhu Huaicheng, who was sitting on the other side, glanced at Hu Defa, and whispered to Yang Xiuya who was visiting the class, "This guy has become so fast. He owed him 5 million before."
Zhu Huaicheng also didn't think about how the president's chief secretary apologized to Yang Can in such a low voice. This gesture alone was so embarrassing.
Yang Canxing smiled calmly, but he was thinking about the scene he just saw. Those opinion polls were not accurate. In fact, after more than a month of MCA’s speech, the s2 image helped the National Congress party greatly increase points. Not evenly matched, but inclined to the Congress Party.
Today, it is obvious that the people below the vast "swing" and "swing" consciousness energy, it is obvious that they are already following the rhythm of the MCA.
"In the evening, shake hands with the candidates from the Democratic Party and hold a friendly ceremony. The result of the general election will be known tomorrow." Hood took a deep breath.
