The man of scumbag Gulnazar

Chapter 18 Album Pre-sale

The day after meeting, Naza rushed to the CCTV Headquarters studio, where rehearsals were already in full swing. The program list for this year's Spring Festival Gala prominently featured the two mentors from "The Voice of China," who would be performing together, along with Ping An and Qin Tian from the show. This lineup clearly demonstrated just how incredibly popular "The Voice of China" was back in 2012.

In the 2013 Spring Festival Gala, the program team specially invited international superstar Celine Dion, who first sang "Jasmine Flower" with our singer surnamed Song, and then sang a solo of "My Heart Will Go On". It was a wonderful performance!

Speaking of which, because the song "Young China" required children to participate, the program team specially invited the Central Plains Martial Arts Team to help out. In addition, Qin Tian sang it solo. The popularity of this song shows just how hot Qin Tian is in the entertainment industry this year.

The singing group director rigorously reviewed Qin Tian's performance, and the result was outstanding. Moreover, Qin Tian was a representative of teenagers and students, perfectly matching the song's main theme. As soon as the review was passed, Qin Tian slipped away from the studio in a flash.

After Qin Tian became famous, his schedule was packed, and he was constantly spinning like a top. Many people felt that Qin Tian was a very busy person who was rushing to make the most of his time, and he was always pushing himself, but they didn't know why he was working so hard.

In truth, only Qin Tian knew that if he didn't release some of his songs soon, someone else would beat him to it. He needed to quickly expand his influence; once he was at the peak of his power, others would be copying him, otherwise he'd be branded a plagiarist. And these accusations of plagiarism hadn't stopped. For him now, time was money, and he had to cherish it!

Afterwards, Qin Tian contacted the head of PP Music in Beijing to discuss the details of the promotion. After some discussion, they finally decided on November 11th, Singles' Day, coinciding with Taobao's Double Eleven shopping festival, celebrating both holidays together. The slogan was loud and clear: "Listen to 'Secret Love,' and bravely shout out your love!"

Seeing this as a rare opportunity, Tengxun Entertainment quickly conducted an exclusive interview with Qin Tian.

"Qin Tian, ​​welcome to this exclusive interview with Tengxun Entertainment!" the host said earnestly.

"So what kind of work is the album 'Secret Love'?" the host then posed a question.

"Oh dear, there are nine songs in 'Secret Love,' all depicting the feelings of someone who secretly loves a girl but doesn't dare to confess. Nine songs symbolize longevity, hoping that everyone who secretly loves can have a happy ending," Qin Tian replied with a smile.

Seeing that Qin Tian was being so cooperative, the host quickly followed up with, "I noticed that in the music video for your album's title track, 'Secret Love,' the female lead isn't from that song, but rather from 'Chasing the Light' and 'Mercury.' Do you prefer those two songs?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Tian immediately laughed: "Haha, those are two different questions! Why did you record the music videos for 'Chasing the Light' and 'Mercury'? It's because I felt these two songs were more suitable for the atmosphere of a music video. As for my favorite song, it's definitely 'Your Eyes Are Like Stars'!" Qin Tian answered the question without explaining the reason; only Naza would know the real reason.

Seeing Qin Tian's humor, the host couldn't help but laugh: "Then may I ask, why was Gulinazha chosen as the female lead in the music video?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Tian immediately said in a serious tone, "She's perfect for it! After watching her in 'Xuan-Yuan Sword,' I felt she was incredibly beautiful, practically the ideal object of my crush!"

Of course, this whole thing was actually arranged with Nazar and her agency, Tangren Media. Tangren was overjoyed to see how popular Qin Tian was and was eager to capitalize on his fame. But Qin Tian? He was thinking: "Hmph! I'll let you have your fun for now, but you'll see later!"

"Qin Tian, ​​your fans have a question they're extremely curious about: do you have a crush on anyone? Or are you already secretly dating? Otherwise, how could you write so many wonderful songs?" The host asked the last question, his face full of anticipation.

"Oh, I'm still a student, and the school has a clear rule against early relationships. We have to be law-abiding students. But not dating early doesn't mean we can't pursue happiness. I can treat it as a lofty goal and work hard to achieve it, turning it into my motivation. Besides, I was super shy when I was in school, and the girls didn't really pay attention to me." Qin Tian answered innocently, making everyone laugh.

If Qin Tian's high school classmates saw this interview, they'd probably spit in his face and yell, "Don't we like you? Have you ever paid any attention to us? We've sent you love letters before!"

The directors at Tengxun Entertainment were overjoyed; this was perfect material for creating a celebrity couple! The topic of puppy love is incredibly popular, and they could also delve into Qin Tian's creative journey. This interview was absolutely juicy!

Ultimately, the interview was scheduled to air on November 12.

After leaving the interview site, Qin Tian took out his phone and continued with his business.

"Sister Naza, you're going to be my CP! I've already announced it on Weibo. You're the best secret crush in my heart," Qin Tian said cheekily.

"Hmph, isn't that right? I'll let you take advantage of me this once."

"What's a bargain? I didn't get anything out of it!" Qin Tian continued to tease Naza; teasing her was his daily routine now.

"Trying to take advantage of you? Let me tell you, Zaza, you're taking a huge advantage! My album is guaranteed to be a hit!"

……

Currently, the album is priced at 22 yuan, with individual songs costing 2 yuan each. Because it includes music videos, the album is 4 yuan more expensive than buying the songs separately. With November 11th approaching, pre-orders on PP Music have already reached 6 million copies, surpassing his number of followers on Weibo, which is enough to prove Qin Tian's explosive appeal to casual fans!

On November 9th, after the music video for "Chasing the Light" was released on PP Music, it quickly climbed into the top five trending topics on Weibo within just half an hour. Simultaneously, "Who is this pretty young lady?" also reached the top ten. Although "Xuan-Yuan Sword" has been airing for some time, its national popularity still doesn't match that of "The Voice of China," so many people still don't recognize Nazha. However, the "Chasing the Light" music video had a million simultaneous viewers!

The number of people who have watched "Chasing the Light" ahead of schedule is already close to 2 million. The album hasn't even been officially released yet, but sales have already reached 40 million yuan, directly entering the top 15 of PP Music's sales chart! Keep in mind, this is an achievement they worked on for an entire year in 2012! And Qin Tian entered the top 15 solely through pre-sales! Even Qin Tian himself is stunned, let alone the music industry. 40 million yuan is sales revenue, not sales volume, but that still represents 2 million copies sold—and that's the pre-sale result!

After winning "The Voice of China," Qin Tian created another miracle! His album, officially released on November 11th, achieved sales of 80 million yuan within 24 hours! This data is simply terrifying! He's now practically the top idol among mainland China's young male celebrities! His fan club, "Sweet Circles," has unleashed astonishing power! His underage fans are incredibly extravagant with their spending!

Meanwhile, Miss Nazha also became a hot topic! She's once again become the queen of trending topics! Her hashtags for "Most Beautiful School Flower" and "Most Suitable for a Secret Crush Girlfriend" are both ranking at the top! They even surpassed Qin Tian's album hashtag! (Of course, this is all just hype and promotion bought by Tangren Media's boss, Cai! Hmph!)

Some clever netizen revealed online: "Naza is Qin Tian's crush!" Someone even said on Weibo that they saw Qin Tian holding hands with Naza as they walked her back to school!

The next day, when the interview aired, Qin Tian's statement that Nazha best fit the criteria of a secret crush seemed to confirm the rumors that Qin Tian had a crush on Nazha! Even Qin Tian's parents called to inquire about the matter!

...In a WeChat chat...

"Miss Naza, everyone's saying I have a crush on you, I need to clarify this!"

"Isn't that the truth?"

"But I was rejected... Should I just expose it myself?"

"Are you trying to die, Xiao Tian?!"

"I'm so heartbroken... It's still the same old rejection... I might as well just smash my head against a block of tofu and die..."

...In the midst of daily teasing...

However, Qin Tian still posted a Weibo post: "The sales of the 'Secret Love' album have exceeded 100 million yuan as of 9:00 AM on November 12th! Thank you all for your support! I hope you will continue to support us! But I have to clarify, please use the memes in moderation!"

"I wrote the songs for this album before the finale of 'The Voice of China,' and I didn't know Nazha at that time! So please don't spread rumors about Nazha! I asked her to help me shoot the music video! I sincerely apologize for any harm caused to her!"

They put on such a convincing act!

Meanwhile, six out of Qin Tian's nine songs made it onto the PP Music New Song Chart! They even occupied the top three positions! "The Star Chaser" and "Mercury" ranked first and second, respectively, thanks to their music videos! "Secret Love" was third! "Your Eyes Are Like Stars" was fifth, and it's about to climb to fourth! Seventh was "Waiting for You After Class"! Ninth was "Gentleman"!
