"Actually, I'm used to it." Lin Xuan'er immediately took on the role of team leader and comforted them, "Our results are already very good."

Su Yin raised her head stubbornly. She had never cared much about the outcome, but now her eyes were filled with dissatisfaction. "It's ten o'clock now, and there are still two hours left. Is there any hope?"

"For us, breaking the record doesn't mean much. But for them," Tang Yue looked at the fans and bit her lip, "it's definitely very important."

"Alas," Wang Xingrui sighed, "If there was no hope, it would be fine. But it's hard for me to accept that the record I had already achieved was suddenly gone."

The same goes for fans.

After a period of silence, the fan base burst into wailing.

[Can a physical album sell 440,000 copies?]

[I'm overthinking this. I remember someone estimating that the first batch of physical albums sold less than 300,000 copies. Most people who wanted to buy physical copies pre-ordered them.]

[Ra (the statistics agency) is so shameless! Pre-sales also make money!]

So we really can’t break the record?

At this time, Xiaopang typed:

Who says there's no hope?! There are still two hours left, so there must be a lot of people who haven't bought yet. We're trying to promote it as much as possible, and we're sure we can attract passersby.

If you have extra money, you can buy more. Of course, students shouldn't buy more; just spread the word.

[What the group leader said just now was right. The four of them have won enough runner-up titles, but they always fall just short of the championship. This time, are we really going to let the record slip away?]

[Fans just posted on Weibo to celebrate. Now that this has happened, so many fans are laughing at us. Can't we just give it a try?]

Tang Yue's blood boiled after seeing Xiaopang's words. If it weren't for her job of fairness, she would have wanted to buy an album worth hundreds of thousands of dollars with her own money.

Strawberry Duoduo and Mango Duoduo, one is already a famous up-host on Dilidili, and the other runs a public account on WeChat that has produced more than 100,000 hits. They also have another identity, which is the fans of Moonlight Girl.

They were also in the group and immediately used their strengths to start promoting.

[Last year's top ten street songs all came from the same album!]

[It's late at night, an album will keep you company through the night.]

The boss of Past Times suddenly knocked on the table, snatched the microphone from the resident singer, and said in a rhythmic voice:

"Has anyone bought Moonlight Girl's new album yet? The four of them walked out of our bar, this is their hometown! A meal for 20 yuan, if you like their music, don't miss it!"

Luo Chen glanced at his mother and said, "Mom, please buy me a hundred copies of 'Superstar'!"

"Why don't you buy it yourself?" Luo Chen's mother said this, but she still placed the order for him.

"If I place an order under my identity and it's discovered, people will say it's an in-app purchase. My current identity is just that of their fan."

In a small tourist-filled town in the southwest, Chu Tianjiao climbed out of bed and recorded a video on the spot:

"They are my best friends in the industry, and they are the ones who helped me the most when I was at my lowest. They are releasing an album today, and I hope that friends who are able to do so will support them!"

Tang Yue took a deep breath and said seriously, "We should also stand up and post on Weibo! We want to record it. This is not something shameful!"

Su Yin nodded. "Did you see that? Many people on Douban have already posted mocking posts, saying that Guardian Star's loan has broken records and that we are wishful thinking!"

"Haha," Lin Xuan'er lost her composure at this point. "Those people can only type. Guardian Star has done nothing wrong. Why are they mocking him?"

"I've already thought of the copy!" Wang Xingrui was full of energy: "Oh my God, I feel like I'm the heroine of a passionate comic now!"

Zhou Yiyang had already learned about this spontaneous fan event from Guan Fei.

He sat in front of the computer and his heart beat faster.

"I didn't expect them to be so organized." When Zhou Yiyang saw fans using their own social media accounts to promote the product, he felt a little ashamed. "Is it because my marketing efforts weren't strong enough?"

"But will this kind of fan recommendation cause passersby to be disgusted?" Zhou Yiyang immediately denied himself: "Other people might, but not Moonlight Girls. There are not many people in this land who haven't heard their songs."

Zhou Yiyang looked at the screen with increasing curiosity. There was still an hour until midnight. Could they really create a miracle and break the record?

11:10 PM.

[Friends, total digital album sales have now reached 620,000, and almost all of the new sales are from new artists. It seems our strategy is working!]

[We can’t celebrate too soon. We have to assume that physical album sales are 0. Digital sales must exceed 900,000!]

Monica was sitting in the room, about to place an order, when she suddenly jumped up in anger: "Fuck! Why is the internet suddenly down?"

She shook her head and whispered, "Never mind, this is God's will. If it was Wang Xingrui's solo album, I would probably go to great lengths to buy one."

11:30 p.m.

Tang Yue looked up at the clock in the living room and whispered, "Half an hour left."

“What’s the data now?”

In the fan group, more and more people were flooding the screen with messages, and Wang Xingrui finally found the statistician.

[Real-time sales have reached 790,000, but the number of new users is decreasing... I guess many people are asleep.]

[Alas, it's true that the promotion started too late today, so many people haven't seen it. But this result is actually not bad.]

"Half an hour left! We must have confidence in ourselves and them! 110,000 more and we'll break the record!"

Guan Fei sighed, it was a pity that she couldn't stir up emotions.

Otherwise, the situation would be distorted. Fans can break records, but the company can’t intervene and guide them.

She looked up out the window and could only pray for a miracle.

There are still 10 minutes until midnight.

Zhou Yiyang glanced at the backstage. He felt that if the physical album was included, it should be able to break the record.

But judging by what the fans say, they probably simply want to rely on digital sales to break the record.

And now digital sales have just reached 820,000.

"The ideal is very lofty... breaking the record should be left to the third major."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Yiyang suddenly found that the numbers in the background jumped a lot.

"Is there a bug? How come there are suddenly 150,000 more photos?"

Most of the fans have calmed down at this point. They have done their best and now all they can do is wait and see how the physical album sells.

At this moment, Statistics suddenly sent a message:

[Brothers and sisters, the record is broken!]

As of midnight, the first-day digital sales of "Superstar" totaled 990,000 copies.

Everyone was a little confused, and the Ra staff looked at the data with serious expressions:

"Find out the source of the last 150,000 tickets. If they were inflated, they can't be counted as records!"
