The album "Stubborn" sold 500,000 copies in its first release.
Five hundred thousand copies is already a considerable number in this increasingly sluggish album market. If all of them can be sold, it basically means that the album has been a success.
The album "Lonely Northern Hemisphere" initially sold 300,000 copies.
The competition between "Lonely Northern Hemisphere" and "Stubborn" created an atmosphere of two heroes competing for supremacy. Under normal circumstances, if "Lonely Northern Hemisphere" dared to compete with "Stubborn", then "Lonely Northern Hemisphere" would definitely release as many copies as "Stubborn"'s first album. After all, the momentum on the Internet is so high, a group of people are making such a big fuss and it is full of gunpowder. It is impossible for the official to give too bad conditions, right?
But when the number of albums was revealed online, all netizens were at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
Three hundred thousand versus five hundred thousand.
Damn it!
This has already declared failure from the very beginning, okay?
You've put yourself in the position of a loser from the very beginning. How can you fight against "Stubborn"?
"Lu Yuan is still the same Lu Yuan. He was so petty with his last album 'Sailor', and now he is also so petty with his album 'Lonely Northern Hemisphere'. Three hundred thousand copies, do you think our fans don't exist?"
"Yeah! What kind of starvation marketing trick are you trying to use? No, if this "Sailor" is using the starvation marketing trick, then there are at least fragments of the album on the market now? Look, it's all out of print now..."
"Three hundred thousand... this is really too stingy... it's not even enough to fill a gap in my teeth... Do you want to compete with King Zhou? I can understand why you, Wang Long, are doing this. After all, Wang Long was not a famous singer before "Sailor", but Shen Zhiwei already has a certain appeal and popularity in Taiwan!"
"Yeah! What kind of marketing strategy is this? I don't understand it..."
“…”
The Internet is basically filled with discussions of this kind.
Even major media outlets used Lu Yuan's album volume to make a fuss, describing Lu Yuan's behavior as "exaggerated publicity, disconnected in the middle, a typical anticlimactic performance."
After seeing these discussions and comments, Lu Yuan suddenly felt very wronged.
Why?
You mean to compete with "Stubborn"?
He really hadn't thought about it that way, and had never even considered such a thing.
These are all accidents, and they are all caused by you netizens who have nothing better to do and are just making trouble...
He really didn't mean that...
And Lu Yuan is a very vigilant person!
Doesn't he know what the album market is like now? He knows it too well. Especially after experiencing the Internet era, Lu Yuan is very clear about the terrible impact of the Internet era on physical albums. It is no exaggeration to say that Lu Yuan knows that albums will become increasingly sluggish in the next few years. What is the so-called album revival as those netizens discuss?
What a joke!
In fact, Lu Yuan made the decision to print 300,000 albums after much consideration. Originally, Lu Yuan planned to print 250,000 copies to test the waters, but after realizing that 250,000 copies was too stingy, he added another 50,000 copies!
Three hundred thousand copies, this is really not a small amount. Didn’t you see that those first-line stars only printed three hundred thousand copies?
It is easy to start a business but difficult to maintain it!
Don't think that I have a big family and a big business now, but the higher you stand, the more careful you have to be. Besides, the album's failure is an inevitable trend. Lu Yuan will not be so arrogant as to be a fool who tries to stop a chariot with his bare hands!
Anything related to money must be handled with caution. If you are not careful, you will capsize. Lu Yuan really doesn't want to capsize!
Therefore, Lu Yuan didn't care at all about being called petty.
Go ahead and curse!
Can I save a few dollars by scolding me?
…
Sichuan.
Lin Yu looked at the two albums, turned on the computer and listened silently.
The two albums "Stubborn" and "Lonely Northern Hemisphere" were not easy to buy. All major music stores were full of people. He was also very familiar with the owner of the music store and asked the owner to keep the albums.
Judging from the covers of the two albums, "Stubborn" is more refined, while "Lonely Northern Hemisphere" is simpler.
Could it not be simple?
Lin Yu had never seen a globe used as a cover.
Yes, a globe, not even a composite photo of the Earth.
You mean something else?
The only other thing is the name of the lonely northern hemisphere and an artistic photo of Shen Zhiwei.
The others are really gone.
Lin Yu felt indescribable about this unique cover, but he couldn't say it was LOW. After all, except for the cover being too simple, other places were not bad. Instead, it had a very strange retro feel.
Yes, retro feel.
On the other hand, "Stubborn" is different.
King Zhou is quite talented and has done a lot of delicate work, making it look very modern and trendy.
Lin Yu silently opened the album box and then listened to the songs in the album.
The first album he listened to was "Stubborn".
He wrote a song for King Zhou, titled "Morning Flowers".
He wanted to hear how King Zhou sang the song he wrote.
As the melody slowly rose and King Zhou's voice gradually became louder, Lin Yu closed his eyes.
Perfect!
King Zhou’s singing completely met the standards in his mind, and even some details had changes in transitions. This change added countless charm to the whole song.
Then he listened to each song one by one, and when he heard "Stubborn", he opened his eyes.
"You don't care about my past. When you saw my wings, you said that only after being burned by fire can a phoenix appear..."
The lyrics are not complicated, they are very simple.
However, there is a cry hidden in the simplicity, as if venting out all the stubbornness in the heart.
Only by going through hardships can we truly grow.
Although the current predicament and difficulties make people despair, it is precisely this despair that allows you to truly transform.
Lin Yu could hear this flavor, and when this flavor was combined with the voice of King of Pop last week, the whole song was filled with a good qualitative change.
This is a rare inspirational song!
After Lin Yu listened to it once, he listened to it a second time. Every time he could hear the youthfulness and the faint touching feeling.
He had some resonance.
Afterwards, Lin Yu opened Shen Zhiwei's album again and listened to it.
The other songs in Shen Zhiwei's album are very solid, and it is obvious that he has put a lot of effort into them. At the same time, the taste is also good...
However, Lin Yu always felt that he lacked a backbone.
The main theme of this song is about youth, and it gives the feeling of the youth that was popular a few years ago.
However, although youth is good, if we only describe young people, it will always feel a little empty.
If these were all the songs, the sales would not be too small, but they really could not be compared with King Zhou.
Of course, when Lin Yu heard "Lonely Northern Hemisphere", he was stunned.
He closed his eyes and enjoyed the song.
The problem he was worried about was actually perfectly solved by "Lonely Northern Hemisphere". This song was like the finishing touch, linking the album together. It was originally the main melody of youth, but it slowly sublimated youth and gave youth a perfect end with a faint voice and a feeling of longing.
After the song ended, Lin Yu's eyes looked a little complicated.
He realized that in the Chinese music scene, Lu Yuan was definitely a strong rival!
From Lin Yu's perspective, the two hit songs "Stubborn" and "Lonely Northern Hemisphere" are definitely very popular!
Not only is it not low, it can even reach a terrifying level.
“The Yangtze River’s waves behind push the waves ahead… Could it be that a new era is about to be born?”
In the room, Lin Yu looked at the sunlight outside the window, and suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of vicissitudes.
He seemed to see a young man with a silly smile in front of him, slowly spreading out a net, like a wild beast, rampaging in the music scene.
After a long silence, Lin Yu shook his head and suddenly laughed.
“We’re not old!”
"An era doesn't end so easily, and a new era doesn't begin so early."
June is just a prologue.
July...
hehe.
This is the real battle for supremacy!
…
The two songs "Stubborn" and "Lonely Northern Hemisphere" have received high reviews online.
On the contrary, very high.
The new song charts on major music charts have already ranked these two songs first and second, and the reviews below are all positive.
Of course, there were some negative reviews, but they were basically the kind that said the album was not available or had been snatched away. In addition to these, there were a large number of people on the Internet who scolded Lu Yuan.
Why?
The two albums were out of stock less than half a day after they were put on the shelves. "Stubborn" was still available in a few music stores, but "Lonely Northern Hemisphere" was a complete tragedy.
there is none left!
Yes!
Completely out of stock!
No matter which video store you go to, the owner's response is the same.
The owner of the video store is also helpless.
There’s nothing they can do!
Who doesn’t want to make money?
But the money-making stuff is gone!
The manufacturer is out of stock, so whether or not to reprint more depends on the response from Remote Entertainment.
Damn it!
What hunger marketing tricks are you using again?
You are messing around!
In response to the dissatisfaction and demands of netizens, both Yuancheng Entertainment and Jiasheng promised to print more copies...
However, after this comparison, netizens and fans became even more dissatisfied with Lu Yuan.
The "Stubborn" album is preparing to print another 300,000 copies, and 800,000 copies will be printed tomorrow, showing full sincerity.
And what about "Lonely Northern Hemisphere"?
It just increased from 300,000 to 400,000...
Four hundred thousand...
Yarn? Children playing in the mud or saving us money?
Are we short of a few dozen bucks for your album?
…
afternoon.
"Boss Lu, the manufacturer actually hopes that we can produce the same quantity as Zhou Tianwang. The market can definitely handle it."
"Just four hundred thousand."
"Mr. Lu, I think hunger marketing is good, but it can't be too hungry... Too hungry will cause dissatisfaction among a large number of fans, and it will also affect your image..."
"It's okay. If the sales volume is the same tomorrow, we can add some more!"
"Oh, okay, then I'll talk to the factory?"
"Um."
After Wu Tingting left, Lu Yuan silently looked at the comments online.
Although the comments online were very hungry, Lu Yuan felt that he had to remain calm!
In any case, there must not be any inventory backlogs.
The most tragic thing in doing business is having inventory pile up and not being able to sell it.
Although the market is still good now, who can guarantee that the sales volume will be so good in the next few days?
Keep steady, no problem!
Anyway, let King Zhou take the lead and test the waters.
Just as Lu Yuan was still busy with the final work on the script of "A Chinese Odyssey", there was a knock on the door.
"Brother Lu..."
"What's wrong?"
"My dad is coming, you have to help me!"
The devil Wang Hao walked in, his face extremely bitter...
