By the fifteenth day of selling the album "Walking Down the Road of Life", it had sold more than 215,000 copies, and pirated copies began to appear on the market.
Feng Tianzhi regrets it so much now. He should have burned more records earlier.
He had originally overestimated the market demand for Teresa Teng's first Cantonese album, thinking that preparing fifteen albums would be enough to meet demand from all over the country.
However, the popularity of "Walking on the Road of Life" far exceeded his expectations. It was like an unstoppable music storm that quickly swept across Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Taiwan, and also swept to Southeast Asia.
Although he burned the album quickly, it was not as fast as the pirated version.
The emergence of pirated records has undoubtedly dealt a heavy blow to the sales of legitimate music. These pirated discs are poorly made and have varying sound quality, but thanks to their low prices and fast distribution channels, they have quickly captured a significant market share.
........。
"Judging from the sales of this album, it should have sold at least 300,000 copies. I thought this album would be a hit, but I didn't expect it to be this popular.
If Feng Tianzhi had been more ambitious and started burning more records, this record might have sold 55 copies.
It's a shame now. However, this album made PolyGram a fortune. "Hua Xing," Cheng Shufen said in her office. After learning about the sales of Deng Lijun's records, she gently stroked the cover of Deng Lijun's new album on the table, and her desire to set up a record department and sign singers became stronger and stronger.
Therefore, Xingchen Dahai had previously requested that the novel he wrote be published in a magazine or a publisher.
Now, no matter what the quality of the novel written by Xingchen Dahai is, Cheng Shufen will do this for Xingchen Dahai.
The next day, Cheng Shufen received a letter from Xingchen Dahai in her personal mailbox.
She first looked at the reply letter from Xingchen Dahai. She saw that Xingchen Dahai mentioned in the letter that Huaxing had set up a record department, and even suggested that she go to singing competitions to find new people to sign. Finally, after seeing that he refused to sign a contract to become Huaxing's full-time songwriter, Cheng Shufen was a little disappointed.
However, Cheng Shufen also knows that talented lyricists and composers like Xingchen Dahai often have their own persistence and plans, and it is understandable that they do not want to be bound by fixed contracts.
Xingchen Dahai also mentioned that although he could not sign a contract with Huaxing, he was very willing to maintain a friendly cooperative relationship with Huaxing, which made Cheng Shufen feel a lot more at ease.
Now, Xingchen Hai has single-handedly created an album for Teresa Teng, which sold 210,000 copies in half a month, although this was due to the fame of Teresa Teng and the promotion of PolyGram.
But it is undeniable that the songs written by Xingchen Dahai have been tested by the market, and each song is a classic. Xingchen Dahai has already made a name for himself.
After reading Xingchen Dahai's letter, Cheng Shufen originally planned to write back to Xingchen Dahai, but she thought about it and decided to wait until Deng Lijun's first album had been on sale for a month before telling Xingchen Dahai the sales volume of Deng Lijun's album.
The golden sales period of an album is generally the first two weeks, because piracy has not yet appeared at this time. How many copies an album can sell depends on its performance in the first two weeks.
In the next two weeks, because of the emergence of pirated products in the market, which took over the market share, even if there were die-hard fans who supported the genuine products, sales would inevitably be affected and the growth momentum would be greatly slowed down.
Sales in the second two weeks were less than half of the first two weeks.
Afterwards, Cheng Shufen took out the novel written by Xingchen Dahai and started reading.
She must have a clear understanding of the novels written by Xingchen Dahai, whether they are good or bad, so that she can use her interpersonal relationships to promote the novels written by Xingchen Dahai.
"'Alien', is this a science fiction novel?" Cheng Shufen didn't like reading romance novels, but was more interested in martial arts and science fiction novels.
After seeing that the novel written by Xingchen Dahai was a science fiction novel, Cheng Shufen became excited about it.
As she continued reading, Cheng Shufen became immersed in it.
The novel's opening setting is novel, constructing a society in the future where technology is highly developed and humans are divided into different classes through gene editing technology. However, as the story deepened, Cheng Shufen immersed herself in the novel written by Xingchen Hai.
The protagonist, Vincent, is born with a genetic defect. Living in a society where his fate is determined by his genes, his birth foreshadows a lifetime of challenges and injustices. Despite this adversity, Vincent cherishes the dream of flying into space, a dream that seems almost impossible for someone of his level.
The Sea of Stars depicts with delicate brushstrokes how Vincent struggles to survive in adversity, and how he uses wisdom, courage, and an extreme desire for knowledge to break through the shackles of genes step by step and get closer to his dream.
As Vincent's story unfolded, Cheng Shufen was deeply captivated, as if she were transported to a future filled with unknowns and possibilities. She saw the light and shadow brought by technological progress, and felt the insignificance and greatness of the individual within the vast machine of society.
Especially when Vincent took extreme measures to try to cover up his genetic defect in order to qualify for astronaut selection, Cheng Shufen's heart beat faster and she was shocked by his bravery and determination.
But a murder case nearly ruined Vincent's career. After the truth was revealed, Irene discovered Vincent's genetic defect. But the power of love made Irene forgive him.
As the story gradually reached its climax, Cheng Shufen was completely immersed in the science fiction world created by "Altered." She looked forward to Vincent finally realizing his dream, and was also full of curiosity and anticipation about the ultimate direction of this future society.
"This science fiction novel is very well written. There should be no problem publishing it in a magazine or publishing it. But, will human genes really be divided into different levels in the future?" After reading the novel written by Xingchen Dahai, Cheng Shufen couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
In the future world of the novel, human genes are precisely edited and divided into different levels, each level corresponding to different intelligence, physical fitness and even lifespan.
People of higher status possess extraordinary abilities and endless resources, while people of lower status live on the margins of society, struggling to survive.
"I feel like I'm somewhat immersed in the characters in the novel." Cheng Shufen patted her cheeks, pulling herself out of the sense of immersion in the novel.
Whether a novel is good or not depends on whether the readers can feel involved. Once the readers can immerse themselves deeply in the story and share the joys and sorrows with the characters, it is a successful work.
Obviously, this novel written by Xingchenhai has achieved this. It is a successful science fiction novel.
