Qianqian Jingting, the most discussed music forum in China, has been silent for a long time.
It is estimated that there are not even 10,000 active users.
However, this morning, Xiao Yuer, as the moderator of this forum, thought he had seen it wrong when he opened the forum and saw the message in the background.
He never expected that there would be such a high number of replies.
"This is weird," Xiao Yu'er muttered to himself as he sat in front of the computer. "Could it be that someone is manipulating the forum, which is why everyone is so active? No, he has to block these people immediately!"
However, when he clicked into the forum, he did not see any posts with colors.
On the contrary, they were all discussing music seriously.
The subject of discussion is Moonlight Girls' second album.
"Their second album is really coming?" Xiao Yuer was surprised. He thought it was fake news! After all, people had been talking about this second album since January.
Xiaoyuer carefully read all the posts in the forum discussing this album and finally got the answer.
It turns out that this morning, Moonlight Girls announced the news of their second album through their official Weibo account.
It will be released in half a month, and you can order the physical album starting today.
"A physical disc release again?" Xiao Yuer was delighted. As a music enthusiast, his biggest hobby is collecting his favorite physical albums. But these days, fewer and fewer musicians still do this.
Without any hesitation, he found Moonlight Girl's pinned Weibo and found the pre-sale link.
Just like Yue Shao’s songs, pre-sales are only available in Moonlight’s store.
After Xiaoyuer opened the page, he booked a ticket without hesitation.
"Congratulations, you are the first user to make a reservation!"
Xiao Yuer stared at the numbers on the screen, completely dumbfounded.
"These sales are incredible!" Xiao Yu'er was shocked. If he hadn't known about Yue Shao's popularity, he might have mistakenly thought the physical album market had returned to its peak. "It's only been on sale for a few hours. In half a month, it's possible to reach 500,000 copies."
He now finally understood why the discussion on the forum was so heated.
In addition to Yue Shao’s own popularity and the anticipation for his second album, the sales this time were also very good.
The users who frequent this forum are more or less data-oriented. They have nothing to do all day long and like to play the "Guan Gong vs. Qin Qiong" game, comparing who was the most popular among the former superstars during their peak periods.
But they are no longer superstars of this era, so naturally they are not as interesting to discuss as the current popular artists.
The sales volume of Yue Shao is quite impressive even in the golden age of the disc market.
No matter which post Xiaoyuer clicks on, he will find that they are almost all predicting the sales of Yue Shao’s second album.
"I'm boldly predicting that Moonlight Girl's first-week sales will exceed one million. Of course, this includes both digital and physical albums."
Xiao Yuer kept wiping his sweat while watching this. These people are really too bold to show off!
"If nothing else, there's no problem for total year-end sales to exceed 1.5 million. I think this album should be the best-selling one in the past decade!"
Xiao Yuer closed the page. He found that this group of people just wanted to watch the fun and didn’t mind making trouble. They could just go ahead and make false accusations.
But the most frightening thing is that they all boasted so much, but after real analysis, they found that these results are possible to achieve.
The four people whose phones were leaking milk were completely unaware of this as they were busy on the set.
As an investor, Zhou Yiyang watched from the side and expressed his personal opinions from time to time.
The only person present who still cared about this data was Guan Fei.
She refreshed the pre-sale page from time to time, and the smile on her lips became more and more obvious.
However, there are still many people who are pessimistic.
"What does high pre-sales mean? Isn't it still the traffic economy? What's the point of high initial sales? It can only be used to brag in the fan circle."
"These over 100,000 pre-sales were all generated by fans, right? These people spend their money chasing stars, why don't they treat their parents better? I really don't understand the train of thought of these fans."
"Who would spend money to buy their albums? Anyway, you can listen to their songs for free if you buy a membership. And the quality is just so-so. I just listen to them because of the trend."
When Zhou Yiyang walked to Guan Fei, he saw her angry look and was immediately amused by her.
"What's wrong with you?" Zhou Yiyang asked curiously.
Guan Fei said seriously, "Brother Yang, look at what these people are saying. It's complete nonsense! It's as if Yue Shao's songs became popular only because of luck."
"Why do you care about these things?" Zhou Yiyang said, his mind already at peace. "No matter what they say, they won't buy the album. As for whether the album sells well or not, it has nothing to do with them."
Anyway, judging from the current data, there is no way this album will lose money.
"That's right," Guan Fei nodded, then thought of her recent arrangements: "But they haven't had time for promotion these days, their schedules are packed."
The most recent ones are the semi-finals and finals of "The Actors Are in Place".
However, Zhou Yiyang tentatively plans to broadcast the finals live, which should be broadcast after the album is released. That way, they can also advertise on the show.
"By the way, Brother Yang," Guan Fei continued, "I just checked Twitter and found that many people abroad also want to buy the album. Brother Yang, do you think we should promote it abroad? That way, we can take the opportunity to expand into the international market."
Zhou Yiyang touched his chin and had to admit that Guan Fei's suggestion was very pertinent.
