How can I get confused with the top start

Excluding the few physical record stores, bookstores are the largest offline record sales channel.

In addition to books, Daoguo Bookstore also sells comics, AV discs, and records. Satoru Kuwata and Jiangu put on masks and went to the nearest Tsutaya Bookstore.

"There are no billboards and posters?" Satoshi Sangtian also thought that according to the propaganda power of the Solidarity Association, the bookstore had already been arranged.

The two walked into the bookstore and went straight to the second floor. They searched for the newly-launched cabinets, but couldn't find them.

"Excuse me, may I ask if Chu Zhi's new album is sold out?" Sang Tian Cong asked the clerk.

The clerk in green and white stripes responded regretfully: "I'm sorry, our bookstore doesn't have Chu Zhi's album on shelves."

"No?" Satoshi Sangtian didn't believe it. If he remembered correctly, Sony Music had signed contracts with large chain bookstores such as Kinokuniya, Tsutaya, Youlintang, and Eslite Life. This treatment can be seen.

"Fuse, that Chinese singer, Chu Zhi, sings a singer that I've been thinking about for a long time." Sang Tian Cong reminded.

"Are you also responsible? The EP of the Muppets is released today, but our bookstore doesn't sell it." The clerk said.

Tongdan refers to fans of the same idol, Danjiang refers to off-fans, and Tongdan refuses to mean that I want to enclose myself and don’t discuss with me. The Johnny fan group extends the vocabulary of the fan circle in the island country.

"Excuse me." Satoshi Sangtian said.

Really not, too strange.

Satoru Sangtian was a very stubborn person, and he insisted on buying it if he couldn't buy it. He took a taxi with Jianguo to Kinokuniya, which was farther away.

As soon as I entered, I found the clerk and asked if there was Chu Zhi's EP.

"Please go to the third floor to buy, but it may take a little time to queue up." The clerk replied.

How long can you wait in line?Sang Tiancong smiled contemptuously, how long can the line be... from the third floor to the entrance of the escalator, he and Jiangu lined up in three steps and two steps.

Looking around, there is still no poster of the singer in the store, let alone an advertising stand, which means that there is no promotion offline.

"Excuse me for interrupting, but are you also here to buy Chu Zhi's EP?" Sang Tian Cong asked the previous lady in yellow hat.

The yellow hat lady nodded her head like a cat: "I've been waiting for the Muppet's EP for more than a month."

Muppet is the nickname given to Chu Zhi by island fans. The overall style of calling idols by island fans is cute and cute. Muppet is the most beautiful fairy cat among cats. It has a weak stomach and poor health, and it matches Chu Zhi perfectly. We call it Muppet, and the nickname Konger is similar to "So Many You", which is very good.

"The puppet's song is nice." Sang Tiancong followed the young lady's voice.

Since "Looking forward to the world a little bit" was snapped up as soon as it was released, and some fans even snapped up four or five copies. In order not to cause looting, they put the EP at the cashier counter No. 3, and it was convenient to line up.

About 20 minutes later, it was Satoshi Sangtian's turn, and the lady in front said to the clerk: "I want to buy 6 pieces, can I?"

"I'm very sorry, the stock in the bookstore is running out, and there are still many customers queuing up behind." The clerk was embarrassed.

"Is three okay?" Miss Huang Hat lowered her request.

"Thank you for understanding." The clerk bowed and thanked, then packed three EPs, and Miss Huang Hat paid the cash price of 12540 yen.

Why do you want to release a Japanese EP specially? In the island country, the price of a single excluding tax is 1800 yen (93rmb), the price of an EP is 3800 yen (198rmb), and the price of a physical album is 6000 yen (313rmb). The above are average prices, and there are also higher or cheaper ones. .

Sang Tiancong bought one, and rushed to catch up with the yellow hat lady just now. He was curious about what to do with buying five. It is normal to buy two and three for collection.

"Special card, of course it's for Xiaoka." The yellow hat lady replied logically.

In order to stimulate fans to buy the album, the official will randomly put small cards in the album, each of which is an unpublished photo of the singer.

Just like the Outlaws of the Marsh cards that collected the Raccoon Noodles when I was a child, many fans even bought dozens of cards in order to collect a set of exclusive cards.

Immediately afterwards, Satoshi Kuwata asked several other record buyers, and none of them bought the record based on the recommendation of the Sony Music Unity Association.

"It's too much to not give any publicity resources." Sang Tiancong changed his position in an instant after conducting field investigations.

One day ended in the hot rush of EP, and the new day continued to rush to buy.

"Yesterday, how many copies of the EP "Looking forward to the world" were sold." Da Senyan just happened to pass by the marketing department at work, so he casually asked the director of the marketing department.

"Professor Omori, the sales report will be delivered at nine o'clock, and then the class meeting statistics will be recorded, and it will appear on your desk at ten o'clock at the latest." The head of the marketing department replied.

"It's time to work." Da Senyan left a sentence, and walked slowly to his office.

The staff who saw him on the way all bowed down to say hello respectfully. The austere man sometimes nodded solemnly, sometimes smiled and joked, and sometimes stopped to guide the work.

Compared with the stooped staff, the tall and strict man who is only [-] is like a giant.

The company's front desk was not far from his office, even with a short walk into the elevator, and it took more than ten minutes to be walked by the giant.

Osenyan has a wide jurisdiction, and basically can get involved in the business of Sony Music. There is a quarter of an hour before 10 o'clock, and the assistant sent the report.

The first line of the report attracted his attention - [The total sales on the first day of "Looking forward to the world a little bit" totaled 345.19 thousand pieces (official website online sales and offline sales)]

What the hell?Omori was shocked, the sales volume on the first day was 34 copies. If he remembers correctly, the record holder of the first day sales volume of EP in music industry is the GZ boy group with 16.7 copies, doubling the record in one go?

He was used to the big wind and waves and continued to read the report calmly. Something was wrong. Due to Heng Kouyi’s face, he was strongly recommended by the United Association, but in fact, he didn’t give much resources offline. Sony Music has many singers, and many of them are his cronies. There are not enough advertising resources, and I am really reluctant to squeeze them out to outsiders.

The initial print was only 5 copies.

According to the report, the 30 albums allocated to physical stores and offline bookstores were sold out, and the remaining nearly [-] albums came from online purchases with real money paid.

The report is very clear, there are 17 purchase account IP addresses from South Korea.

"Is Chu Zhi so popular in South Korea?"

"Wait, excluding South Korea's 17 pieces, our domestic sales are still 17 pieces, which is still more than the original GZ boy group. Why is EP so popular?"

"Even with the enthusiasm of the Hokkaido Song Festival, it shouldn't be so exaggerated."

The three repeated questions from the people of Dasenyan, I can't understand. The album of the GZ boy group in the island country is also a collaboration with Sony Music. At that time, the group had debuted for three or four years, and they had held more than ten tours in the island country. A lot of popularity, how did Chu Zhi's popularity come from?

In a high position, you can't see the ants under your feet, and the high-level people of the big and strict human class are all the same.

For Chu Zhi, this is no good. If it weren't for the release of "Looking forward to the world a little bit", Chu's management group would not promote it in the country, and even deliberately suppressed the rumors. As for the fighting power of Xiaoguo, it would hit millions on the first day.

Why didn't the domestic small fruits rush?We have to start with the share of the island record.

歌手1％、JASEAC手数科5‰（版权保护协会），作词家2％、作曲家2％、编曲人8％、唱片公司45％到55％、销售点30％，剩下百分之一是成本价制作唱片的工厂分得。

It's almost the opposite situation with Huaxia, if you don't participate in the creation of a singer, you will hardly get any money, even if you are the one who sang the song.

For example, if an album sells for more than 100 soft sister coins, singers can only be divided into 1rmb, and the company and sales stores get the most of it.

It is a cooperative relationship with Sony Music, and Heng Kouyi worked hard to introduce it in the middle. Chu Zhi's lyrics and lyrics are all in his own situation, and he got a slightly higher 25%, and Sony Music let him get 43.2%.

There is no other way. It is quite possible to cut leeks in other people’s land and get a quarter. Without Hengkou as a middleman, it is difficult to go to other companies to get 20%.

Chu Zhi is keen on cultivating and cutting leeks, but he is the only one who can gather the leek seedlings in the country, so how can the islanders make a lot of money.

Chapter 271 It's Good to Make Money

"I need to treat Hengkou-sang's friends again." Osenyan said after reading the three-page report.

The data in the table is not deceiving. According to Kinokuniya's data, each store has an average of more than 30 fans queuing up who have not purchased. There is a surplus.

"GZ boy group's EP sales on the first day were broken." Omori Yanren felt that other records were close at hand.

First week: 471.8 thousand pieces

First month: 645.9 thousand pieces

"Heng Kou Yi made a mistake!" Da Sen Yan seemed to have thought of something important, his face changed drastically.

He estimates that the total sales volume of "Looking forward to the world a little bit" is about 600 to 600 copies, and the single sheet earns more than [-] yen, which adds up to a total of more than [-] million soft sister coins, so it doesn't matter what percentage of the share it is .

But if the sales of Nima are rushing to 50 copies, the loss will be huge, and at least half a billion yen will be lost!Dasenyan's heart ached, his brows were furrowed, his eyes were wide open, his lips were so wide that he could see his yellow teeth, his pained expression looked like he was about to eat someone.

To be able to become a high-level person, the basic quality of a capitalist, the first reaction is not that the artist has helped us earn a lot of money, but how much we have squeezed less from the artist.

"Propaganda!" Da Senyan said decisively to the air as if in a daze: "EP is promoted through S-level channels."

He immediately arranged it, and contacted the factory to reprint the album. The channels and advertisements vigorously promoted that at least 30 copies could be sold. Thinking of this big and strict person, he felt distressed.

To use the company's S-level publicity resources, even if he is a professional, he must explain the reason.However, the statistics table of the data department is the biggest reason, no one objected, there is a problem with not being active in making money.

The whole company, including the artists, knew that another foreign singer's sales had exploded.

"With such promotional conditions, Chu Sang's EP has sold 34 copies!"

People can't do it, don't blame the uneven road!

Jiangu was encouraged after learning about the sales volume of the EP on the first day. He suddenly said loudly: "I am tired from singing and practicing every day. Who is not tired? But you only need to work hard for the things you like every day. How many people are envious. Sang Tiansang, we don't Work hard, after two years you will be eliminated and you won’t even be eligible to release a record.”

"War, fight! Practice to the death. If you don't practice until you can't stand up, you won't admit defeat! I want to risk my life. To be honest, there is no way I can retreat. It's better to be panting and sore limbs than to regret it. I'm fed up with only two years to graduate a college!"

Sang Tiancong was impressed by his friend's strong courage. He didn't understand why he suddenly felt as if he had been beaten up, and asked after a long time: "How many hours a day are you going to practice for stock building?"

"1 hour!" Jiangu was decisive.

"?" Sang Tiancong almost thought he heard it wrong, because his schedule was not busy, so every day when he got home, he would practice for more than two hours.

Satoshi Sangtian looked at Jiangu, okay, I finally know why my friend has only released an album for two years.

"Practicing songs every day is not the basis of a singer..." Before Sang Tian Cong finished speaking, Jiangu made a silent gesture.

The head of the company's law department walked behind him. He hated making loud noises in the company.

Satoshi Sang Tian has a schedule today, so after reporting with the section manager, he took the subway to the scene... a nanny car?Only well-known artist companies will be equipped with nanny cars.

I was also bored on the subway seat. Satoshi Sang Tian clicked on the Yahoo music website. The combination of Yahoo’s movie, book, and music websites is basically equivalent to the domestic Douban. He bought the EP yesterday and went back to listen to it. The style of the six songs is very good. It is changeable, and it can even be said that each song has the strength of the title song.

Satoru Sang Tian wanted to see the audience's feedback on the song——

"Buying the album to repay the favor, being overwhelmed by studies and parental expectations, my mom loves piano so I wake up at five to practice piano, my dad loves baseball so he trains me after school and teaches me Baseball, I have to learn foreign languages ​​at night, I don’t have a little time for me in a day, "I once thought about it once" made me want to live again." [5.0 points]

"I think I love this world after all." [4.0 points]

"LEMON is full of pain. Listening to the song reminds me of my mother's death. I thought I was cold-blooded. I didn't shed a single tear when my mother was buried in the temple. When I came home from work one day, I bought a box of lunch at a convenience store. , and then I bought my mother’s favorite hot spring eggs, and the moment I paid at the cashier, my tears couldn’t stop flowing down, and I couldn’t stop my hands.” [5.0 points]

"My child is 13 years old. He keeps saying that the songs I listen to are obsolete by the times. Butterfly, my son and I both like to listen to it."

"During school, I made a bet with my friend to chase after the girl who lacked a finger. I succeeded. At first, I just wanted to win the bet, but after two months, I was gradually attracted. Later, because of a sentence from my friend [You won't like this Girl?], I really want to answer [I like her], but I don’t know why it becomes [I certainly don’t like a disability] in front of my friends, I wish I could turn the wheel of fortune and let me go back, Let me answer it again." [5.0 points]

Wait for the rave reviews.

One thing worth complaining about is that Yahoo Music is too unintelligent. Audience ratings can only be scored as integers, followed by 0, not even 0.5. EP "Looking forward to the world" scored 4.7 points (points) on a five-point scale .

"If this score can be maintained, or if the score does not drop too much in the later period, the EP score can enter the top [-]." Sang Tiancong has changed from being jealous of Chu Zhi to being a fan of passers-by.

Needless to say, Sony Music’s status in the island country’s entertainment circle, with the momentum of this behemoth, the sales decline curve on the second day was very good, and there were still 21 sales.

The decline curve of albums and movies are two different things. The popularity of movies on the second day of release may be higher than that on the first day, or wait for a weekend, so the box office of movies is based on the previous week, but the sales of albums mainly depend on the first day.

To put it more bluntly, the real audience, even if they don’t have time to go to a physical store, can order one online in two to three minutes, and buy everything that should be bought on the first day.

So 21 is quite an exaggeration.

The sales volume in two days exceeded 55 copies. According to the share, Chu Zhi could earn 2000 Ruanmei coins for each piece, directly earning more than [-] million yuan.

I don't know, I was taken aback.

At this very moment, Chu Zhi, who was filming in Otaru and received the news, seemed to have something in her heart break out of her shell, and then she woke up!

South Korean albums are also expensive, and singles can sell for thirty or forty, the price is about 50.00% of the island country, and the German album is also more than 100 chapters. There are a lot of little leeks abroad for him to cut!

"My lovely little leeks, your emperor is back." Chu Zhi was already thinking about making an official album and harvesting it in the island country, even though we have nothing in our hands, put on fireworks, my.all, don't admit defeat , Riding on the Back of a Silver Dragon, She Has Lived, etc. Create an album that discusses death and staying strong.

Let's be honest, if these songs can really be put together into an album, Chu Zhi can become a god, how many people can the album prevent from committing suicide?What is the status of the island nation at that time?unbelievable.

"Create a god-only harvest, as a small branch of mine." Chu Zhi said.

He does not know Korean, and there is no need to learn it. He can record a single disc, and it is no problem to memorize the pronunciation of a song by rote.

"Sure enough, foreign leeks make money, and millions of physical copies are sold in China, and there is not much money in hand."

Chu Zhi, who was muttering words, came to the shooting location from the hotel, and the distance of about one kilometer was not allowed to be picked up by the crew.

Otaru City Library, currently half of the library is rented by the crew, the actors are all there, and the director Etsushi Ohmoro is not.

Chu Zhi looked around, and Hashimoto Maki seemed to see his doubts, and said, "The supervisor wants to change the filming location, and the director of Dazhu thinks this place is not good."

Hashimoto Maki is 17 years old this year. She plays the role of the female second wood in high school. Regardless of her young age, she became a model at the age of 14 and was discovered by a performing arts company. She is beautiful.

"Then shall we shoot now?" Chu Zhi asked.

"Temporary rest." Hashimoto Maki said.

Chu Zhi nodded and walked to the actor's studio to rest. Liao Dachong must have not followed, because the crew has a director, and you still hired someone to teach acting, which would damage the authority of the director.

Hashimoto Maki cautiously approached Chu Zhi, and said, "Chu Sang, can you sign me?"

"Signed?" Chu Zhi looked up, and Hashimoto was holding an album card in his hand.

It turned out to be a fan.
