Chapter 255 2.5 million sales on the first day
"In the last album, "Fireworks are Easy to Cold", Wang Zhengfei used his unique tune to take us back to the era of literati. There is no specific era, but it is a pure Chinese style, which has completed a complete definition of Chinese style, because since its birth, there has been no complete The concept of Chinese style has made a perfect footnote, which is the Chinese style. For this album, Wang Zhengfei did not specifically summarize a style for this album. It is no longer as amazing Chinese style as the previous album, but there is no doubt that this album will not be inferior to the previous album. Perhaps Wang Zhengfei used the Chinese style in "Fireworks Easy to Cold". This time, However, there is a Chinese-style song "Killing of the Three Kingdoms", but this song is the theme song of the game, but it also has a trace of commercial atmosphere, which makes people strangle!"
"Kill of the Three Kingdoms" may be the song I have listened to the most times on this album (like many people, I also like this song the most, and I also like to listen to it while playing "Killing of the Three Kingdoms")). This song is the main theme of the whole album, which to some extent represents my love for it. I like the light ancient lyrics, the arrangement of Wang Zhengfei, and the distinctive rhythms.
Some people around me like to compare this song with "Su San Talk" and "Fare Like Snow". Among the three songs, in terms of endurance, I prefer "Su San Shuo" and "Killing of the Three Kingdoms". "Fare Like Snow" is very good, but it can only be said to be very popular. After listening to it more than three times, it is not difficult to find that this song is too similar to his previous "Dong Po" sister, and there is a lack of freshness and breakthrough surname (I feel that the tone between Jay Chou's song and the song is more and more similar). The color of the lyrics far exceeds that of the melody itself. The melody is relatively flat, which may be more distinctive. Zhou Dong is indeed very talented and smart in music. In addition to finding Fang Wenshan, the best lyricist for him, his cleverness is that he has well decorated his voice or weakness in singing skills in the arrangement. Leaving aside those melodies that are very easy to make people talk about, Zhou Dong uses harmony very frequently in the arrangement. Some even use three to four tracks of harmony in the whole song, or use MIDI to draw up a tuner that is very similar to his own tone. In this way, I personally think it is because his voice is relatively light, which can reach a relatively high range in the male voice, but the pitch is more than enough and the loudness is not enough. The characteristic biting of Zhou-style singing is more vague. In addition to its own mouth, it may also have something to do with the lightness of the sound. Other singers usually make harmony to set off the main voice, and Zhou Dong's characteristic is to embed the main voice! Let's talk about "Su San Talk", which really puts forward the concept of the collision between Peking Opera and R&B. Maybe it should be this song, which can be said to be Su San's "pioneer" status here. Tao Jiji also showed a special version of Su Sanqi in the song. The bamboo flute plays a trace of melodiousness and gentleness in the song, and the melody is melodious and smooth without losing its harmony.
But anyway, "Kill of the Three Kingdoms" is a very good music album, which is undoubtedly obvious from the number of 1.5 million pre-orders!"
The next day, the major media carried out long reports on the crooked concert, Wang Zhengfei's album and the online version of "Kill of the Three Kingdoms". Although the three things seem to involve different fields, in fact, they all involve one person, so It's Wang Zhengfei. Not long after a while, Wang Zhengfei once again became a leading figure in media reports. All this seems to be a difficult achievement for others, but for Wang Zhengfei, it seems to be very simple. Lin Zhiling has a magazine cover every month of the year, which has been read by many people. It has become a miracle, but Wang Zhengfei has a magazine cover at least twice a month. For Wang Zhengfei, it seems normal for him to be on the forefront of the storm.
At this time, Wang Zhengfei did not care about what the media said, but how his album sales were. After attending the crooked concert, Wang Zhengfei did not stay in Fuzhou for a long time, but went directly to Yanjing to do special effects, which has reached the last critical part. After finishing it, it can be finished.
As soon as he returned to Yanjing, Wang Zhengfei saw Gao Yan's smile on his face, so he smiled and joked, "What's the matter, boss, I'm so happy!"
"Ha ha, of course I'm happy. Now dealers everywhere have called and said that the records have been sold out and asked us to deliver the goods quickly!" Gao Yan said with a smile.
Gao Yan's words shocked Wang Zhengfei. This is only one day. Others don't know, but he didn't. In order to cope with the vast number of fans, this time, Star Records rushed to make one million records and send them to dealers all over the country, plus 1.5 million records booked in advance. Zhang, 2.5 million records have been sold in just one day. If this news is told to people outside, I don't know how many people will be shocked!
Although Wang Zhengfei knows that the performance of this record will not be bad. First of all, there is the quality of the previous album. Everyone has a habitual life. Once he is used to buying his record, he will also buy it this time, and the quality of this album is definitely not bad, but he never thought that it could be sold so soon. In fact, he was a little worried about 1.5 million records, because this album may not be as good as the sales of the previous album, because although the predecessor of Star Records itself has a complete distribution channel in the Chinese circle, there is a shortage of overseas channels. It will take some time to improve this sales channel. That is to say, this time Wang Zhengfei's "Kill of the Three Kingdoms" cannot be released at the same time as the previous album. It can only be released in all of East Asia at the same time. At that time, the record sales will definitely be greatly affected. Although the domestic market is very large, from the situation of the previous album, the overseas market It's not small. Of the sales of 3.5 million copies of the last "Fireworks Easy to Cold", 1.5 million were brought by overseas markets, so Wang Zhengfei still felt a pity. It is likely that the total sales will also be affected. It is not necessarily not as good as the previous album. Of course, it is not a better situation than the previous album. I didn't think about it, but he still didn't have much hope, because the last album sold 3.5 million copies. In the whole of Asia, except Jay Chou, who else can get close to this data now?
But now it seems that the situation is better than the previous album. At first, it has sold 2.5 million copies, and it doesn't seem difficult to sell 1.5 million copies in the rest of the time. That is to say, at least this time, it can flatten the last one. The sales record of the album is a good record for both Wang Zhengfei and Star Records, a newly established emerging company, and it is also very inspiring.
"No way, one million copies will be sold out in one day?" Wang Zhengfei is a little unbelievable.
"Of course it's true. I've confirmed that there can still be fakes. I'll tell you, haha, now I'm sure that people from Huayan International came over and said that they wanted to represent the overseas release of your album. Originally, I was still considering whether to give it to them!" Gao Yan said.
"Have people from Huayan International been here?" Wang Zhengfei is a little surprised. It seems that this person from Huayan International really doesn't give up. If the person in the world knows the most about Wang Zhengfei's album potential, I'm afraid it's not Gao Yan or even Wang Zhengfei himself. It should be Huayan International. After making an album for Wang Zhengfei, they think that Wang Zhengfei definitely belongs to that kind of talent. Hua Hengyi's kind, as expected, they were very satisfied with the results after the release of "Fireworks Easy Cold". The total sales of 3.5 million copies made them earn a lot of money. Even for them, the income of 40 million yuan after tax was an astronomical figure. Of course, what they were more distressed was that Wang Zhengfei also divided. There are not many numbers, but even so, they are still very keenly aware of Wang Zhengfei's infinite potential. Because Zhou Jielun alone, Alpha Company has made a lot of money. Now because of Wang Zhengfei, they have also turned a lot of money. Naturally, Wang Zhengfei can be called a cash cow and refused to give up, but it is very Unfortunately, in the end, they still failed to sign a contract with Wang Zhengfei for the second album, which was their most regret. However, after learning that Xingchen Entertainment had acquired a record company and did it himself, they were relieved. After all, they did not believe that Gao Yan would turn a blind eye to the money of Wang Zhengfei's album. Since they could If you make enough money, why do you have to make money for others? So although it is a little regrettable, there is nothing you can do. After all, now that there is only one thing they can do, that is, to act as an agent for overseas sales.
They have fully investigated the details of Star Records. They know that Star Entertainment is very lacking in overseas distribution, so they are wondering if they can act as an agent for overseas copyright. As long as they can act as an agent for overseas copyright, they will not earn less or even more money than Star Entertainment. After all, this is an agent, and Wang Zhengfei's popularity is not only in the Chinese circle, but also in Southeast Asia and South Korea.
"So what are you going to do now? Do you want to represent them?" Wang Zhengfei asked.
