Cui Zhengzhi slept soundly.
For more than half a month, he has been running announcements in different cities and promoting his album at the same time. He has a full schedule every day. He is already physically and mentally exhausted and urgently needs a good rest.
The album "Hotfire" was finally officially released on the Internet, and the sales performance was obviously promising, so he could finally sleep comfortably and recharge his energy to deal with the next work tasks.
He didn't wake up until 9 o'clock in the morning.
Stretching happily, Cui Zhengzhi put on his coat and ran to the bathroom to wash up.
There was no announcement scheduled for this morning, so he needn't rush.
"sister!"
After cleaning, Cui Zhengzhi sat down at the desk in the outer room 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 read a few more blog posts by the way.
He unbuttoned his shirt to reveal his chest, and prepared to take two selfies and post them with a few words of exclamation. I believe it will definitely cause fans to scream, and then implore fans for their support.
Of course, he didn't forget to step on his competitors. Think carefully about the sentence, it's better to be humorous.
A smile appeared on Cui Zhengzhi's face.
Fans call his practiced smile "angel's smile" thousands of times, and they have long been used to it.
Even if there is no one around.
"Coming!"
As soon as the computer system entered the desktop, Cui Xiuyin walked in with a plate: "I saw that you were in a deep sleep, so I didn't call you. Are you exhausted these days? Try your favorite abalone porridge, stewed for two It's been an hour."
Cui Zhengzhi was in a good mood, and said with a smile: "Let's put it here, let me see the sales results first..."
"Uh… "
Cui Xiuyin hesitated for a moment, put down the plate and said, "Let's have breakfast first, and watch it later."
Cui Zhengzhi was very sensitive. He heard something wrong with his sister's voice, and frowned and asked, "What's wrong?"
Cui Xiuyin forced a smile, and replied: "It's okay, you have breakfast."
"Do not!"
Cui Zhengzhi shook his head and said, "You must have something..."
His heart moved: "Is it related to the sales of my album? Could it be that the results are not good?"
Cui Xiuyin quickly said: "No, your sales are higher than Lu Chen's!"
This is wrong!
Cui Zhengzhi is not a fool, it's normal that the sales volume of "Hotfire" is higher than that of Lu Chen, why should he emphasize it
My sister's expression was even more wrong.
He didn't continue to ask, he opened the browser while holding the mouse, and quickly logged in to Feixun Music Network.
Cui Zhengzhi saw the weekly sales list on the homepage at first glance, and "Hot Fire" ranked first.
Although it was only released on the shelves on Tuesday night, his debut album has sold very well. Up to now, in a total of 14 hours, the sales volume has reached 47,852 copies!
In just half a day, nearly 50,000 copies were sold, and the big sale is a foregone conclusion!
Domestically speaking, Fetion Music has the largest number of genuine downloads. More than 100,000 paid downloads are hot sellers, and 300,000 is considered a big sale. If it breaks 50,000 on the first day, it is not a problem to hit the total sales of 300,000.
A smile appeared on Cui Zhengzhi's face again.
False alarm!
But the next moment, his smile froze in an instant, as if he had been cast with a petrification spell.
Because Cui Zhengzhi saw that Lu Chen's album "You at the Same Table" was ranked below him, with a sales volume of 40,970!
There is only a gap of less than 7,000 copies!
how can that be!
Cui Zhengzhi couldn't believe his eyes, couldn't help but stretched out his hand and rubbed it, suspecting that he was hallucinating.
In his opinion, Lu Chen's album sold 20,000 copies on the first day, it would be considered a big deal, 10,000 copies is very normal, and it's only 14 hours now, how could it be possible to break through 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 me?"
Buying charts has long been nothing new. In order to create a false impression of hot sales, entertainment agencies often spend money to buy sales a few days before the singer's album is released, and record it as promotional expenses.
Because the money is spent, any music website will not care about buying charts, and even the China Music Association defaults to the results, which is regarded as an unspoken rule in the circle.
After all, the cost of buying charts is very high. It costs 5 yuan to sell a complete album, and it’s almost enough to spend more than 100,000 to 200,000 yuan to get a hot gold record.
Buying charts is very particular, some buy the first day or 72 hours of sales, and some are evenly divided into 7 days or 10 days.
Just like Zou Bei and Ling Xiaoxiao, who were put on the shelves a few days ago, must have bought the list, otherwise, with Ling Xiaoxiao's third-rate strength level, can they sell 50,000+ sales in 3 days
Cui Zhengzhi signed a contract with Cheng Tian Entertainment, Cheng Tian Entertainment is well-known in the industry for its wealth and wealth, this album has cost millions of dollars just to promote it, and spending money to buy some sales is an inevitable means.
Cui Xiuyin was silent.
A nameless anger suddenly rushed to Cui Zhengzhi's forehead, and a string of reason called reason snapped instantly.
He suddenly reached out and slapped the table heavily, and shouted sharply: "Say it!"
Cui Xiuyin trembled all over, and said in a low voice, "Ten thousand."
10000!
Cui Zhengzhi's expression suddenly became ferocious.
Deducting the number of 10,000 buy charts, the real sales volume of the "Hot" album is less than 40,000!
If Lu Chen didn't buy it, it means 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, impossible!"
Is that true
Cui Xiuyin spoke without confidence.
Lu Chen is different from Cui Zhengzhi. Lu Chen is an independent artist. He doesn't have any contracted companies behind him. He just opened a small studio and is running. He doesn't even want to spend money on publicity. How can he spend a lot of money to buy charts
If he bought the list simply because he wanted to beat Cui Zhengzhi to vent his anger, how much would he have to spend
Is Lu Chen that stupid
Cui Zhengzhi seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw, and said, "That's right, he must have bought the list!"
How could it be that Lu Chen didn't buy the list, and how could the sales exceed his own!
Definitely bought it!
…
"No!"
At the same time, Lu Chen, who had just finished exercising in the creative park, said to the phone in bewilderment, "Why do I buy the list, how can I have so much money to burn?"
It was Chen Jianhao who called Lu Chen. The bar owner actually asked him if he spent money on Feixun Music to buy sales results, and he flatly gave a negative answer.
What a joke!
Lu Chen also wanted to make some money from album sales, at least to recoup the cost, how could it be possible to waste this kind of money
How good is it that he spends money on publicity and promotion, and the effect is not ten times stronger than buying a list
Chen Jianhao said with a smile on the phone: "I believe you, but some people don't believe it, and they call me to ask, so I will call you to ask, since there is no one, then it will be fine."
After speaking, he quickly cut off the call.
"Hey!"
Lu Chen didn't have time to ask any more questions, so he could only put the phone back in his trouser pocket resentfully.
But it feels like something good is going on!
He laughed dumbfounded, and ran towards the building where the studio was located.
Back in the office, just as Lu Chen entered the door, he saw all the colleagues in the studio, including his sister Lu Xi and Li Mubai standing in a row, looking at him with a smile.
Lu Chen was stunned for a moment: "What's the matter with you?"
boom! boom! boom!
The next moment, with three dull bangs, the three color sprayers were unscrewed by Li Feiyu, Chen Xiang, and Li Mubai at the same time, and colorful stripes hit the ceiling and fell down one after another.
It floated on Lu Chen's head and body!
Lu Chen smiled and said, "What's going on?"
Li Mubai rushed up, gave him a big hug, and said with a smile: "Brother Chen, congratulations on your album sale!"
Lu Chen smiled: "Is it selling well?"
After "You at the Same Table" was launched last night, he didn't pay attention to the sales anymore, and just did what he had to do. He canvassed for himself in the live broadcast of [Whale TV] and on the blog.
Including getting up in the morning, Lu Chen didn't even turn on the computer, and went outside to exercise.
Lu Chen's mentality is very good. No matter whether the sales volume is high or low, and whether the cost can be recovered in the end, he doesn't particularly care about it, let alone worry about it.
It doesn't matter if Cheng Yixin loses, he has done his best, so he has no regrets!
But now that he has received a surprise, Lu Chen is still very happy.
Who thinks making 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, Fei Yu even went to the supermarket to buy some colorful tubes, to give you a big success!"
Lu Chen smiled and said, "Thank you everyone."
He had guessed it earlier when he received Chen Jianhao's inquiry call, and now it has been confirmed.
"You at the Same Table" sold very well!
"Not only is it very good, it is definitely a hit!"
Li Mubai hurriedly pulled him to the front of the computer, pointed at the screen and said, "Look!"
Lu Chen immediately saw that on Fetion Music's weekly sales list, his album was only ranked below Cui Zhengzhi, and the current sales volume is 41137!
More than 40,000 copies!
Such a large quantity was sold in less than 24 hours. It is not wrong to say that it is 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, the total sales will reach 2.4 million, and the 50% share will be 1.2 million. After deducting 10% sales income tax and production and publicity costs, there will be at least 600,000 profits!
It doesn't seem to be a lot, but you must know that most singers sell albums on the Internet, and they are successful if they can earn back the promotion costs.
Even for big names like Tan Hong and Chen Fei'er, their albums will definitely sell well, but the cost of production and promotion is often extremely high, and they will never rely on this to make a profit.
Earning hundreds of thousands of online sales is really against the sky!
So there is every reason to celebrate!
Lu Chen took a deep breath and let the joy flood his whole body.
After paying so much, it's finally time to reap the rewards.
