Chapter 210 Album Sales-The Dream Has Just Begun! (4K)
January 14th.
Today is a special day.
Wang Ming, who usually sleeps until noon on weekends, got up early at six this morning.
The boy put on his clothes, put a piece of bread in his mouth, and went out.
Go to - the only physical CD store in town.
Today, Grandpa Tong Tai gave him a death order.
No matter what, I have to buy that thing back!
Obviously, I was the one who started watching it first.
In the end, grandpa was even more obsessed with it than him. Not only did he keep muttering about the song at home every day, but he also pulled off his quilt early this morning, forcing him to get up in the southern weather where the temperature was less than 10 degrees.
Of course, he himself was also looking forward to this matter and had planned for it a long time ago.
But what Wang Ming didn’t understand was “Why do you need to get up at 6 o’clock just to buy a CD?”
Wang Ming was breathing in the air and complaining at the same time.
But when he reached his destination, he was stunned by the scene before him.
In the cold wind, a queue of tens of meters long formed in front of the small CD store, occupying the entire street! At a glance, the heads of people seemed to be dwarfed, like caterpillars.
He quickly stopped a passerby in the middle of the line.
"Hello?! Bro, what are you here to buy today?"
"ah?"
The man was stunned at first, then he smiled as if he was used to it.
“Of course it’s Moonlight and Cat’s new album!”
“So many people, all of them??”
"Of course."
The passerby asked back, "Why, what are you doing here?"
"I'm also here to buy Moonlight and Cat's new album."
“Hahahahahaha!!”
As soon as these words were spoken, all the passers-by around laughed.
The air was filled with a cheerful atmosphere.
He gave me a look that looked like a fool: "No, are you serious?"
"You must be asleep at this hour."
"Just stand in line at the back. We all came here at 4 o'clock before daybreak. The line was already 20 to 30 meters long. I heard that some people even slept in front of the store last night. This is Moonlight and Cat's album - you are too naive!!"
In an instant, Wang Ming's face turned red and he felt like the sky had fallen on him.
He sprinted to the end of the line and started queuing.
As the boss appeared on a motorcycle leisurely with a cigarette in his mouth, the whole queue became excited for a moment.
As everyone looked on welcoming a hero, the boss pulled open the rolling door and opened the main door.
The line finally started to move! Then, one person after another walked into the store, and then walked out with bags in hand, looking very happy.
The people queuing behind all stretched their necks and leaned forward with curious and excited looks. As a man came over with an album in his arms and passed by Wang Ming, the boy's eyes widened immediately.
In his arms, there is an album cover with a half-length photo of Moonlight Brother and Cat-chan printed on it! This cover is so cool! !
Wang Ming's emotions immediately became excited.
He held the phone nervously, repeating to himself.
"123"
As one person after another walked out of the store holding CDs, the line became shorter and shorter.
Wang Ming almost kept making the sign of the cross on his chest and began to pray.
Please, please stock up more. In this way, the queue started at eight in the morning and lasted until eleven in the morning.
He watched as the guy two seats in front of him took away ten albums in one go, carrying a full supermarket shopping bag. As he left, he had a lewd smile on his face.
Wang Ming's emotions were brought to a critical point.
Finally, it was the girl in front of her turn. She suddenly raised her hand in front of the counter.
"Boss! Give me a copy of 'Wet'!"
"Sorry, we are sold out today. Please come back another day."
The boss blew out a puff of smoke and said helplessly.
For a moment, the team behind him all sighed in despair.
Some people cursed, some were dejected, and some screamed on the spot.
Wang Ming quickly squeezed to the front and asked, "When will the boss have the goods?"
"Goods? This week's supply is all sold out! If you want more, go look in the city, but I think they're almost sold out."
After hearing this, Wang Ming fell into complete despair.
After coming out of the store, Wang Ming met a boy.
He sat on a bench on the street, looking at the album he had just bought with joy.
Then, he opened his schoolbag and took out an old laptop. He inserted the CD directly into the drive! The boy sat on the bench, put on headphones, and listened to music while looking at the computer.
He shook his head from time to time, showing an expression of enjoyment, and occasionally burst into laughter.
Everyone was tickled by the laughter.
It was not very harmful, but it was extremely insulting! Everyone immediately surrounded him, showing extremely unhappy expressions.
"You little brat! You know nothing about moonlight and cats! Let your brother help you understand!"
"You haven't even graduated from junior high school, what the hell do you understand? Do you think a kid like you can understand classical music?"
For a moment, a group of frustrated compatriots, represented by Wang Ming, all crowded around the boy, unplugged the headphones plugged into his computer, and turned on the external speaker.
A magical scene appeared.
At noon on the street, a large group of adults surrounded a child, blocking the street. The crowd cheered and laughed from time to time, scaring passers-by and making them run away. Those who didn't know thought that some evil ritual was being performed.
The notebook's noise is low to begin with, and if anyone among the onlookers makes the sound of chatting, they will quickly be beaten up and kicked out of the team!
With the free gift, Wang Ming finally got a glimpse of the entire album.
This time, "Rainy Day We" not only includes many music pieces that have never been released by Moonlight and Cat, such as the four movements of "Cello Concerto in E Minor", the four movements of "Symphony No. 5 in G Minor", etc.
There is even an Easter egg version of the "One Step Away" MV, which was recorded completely live.
The additional hidden content is even comparable to the amount of music previously released by Moonlight and Cats.
The DLC is larger than the main game!
Who can resist this? Therefore, the price of 168 yuan for the physical CD of "Wet" is really a very reasonable price in the eyes of all music fans.
No wonder everyone is flocking to it.
Wang Ming had no choice but to enjoy it by himself and then narrate it to his grandfather when he got home that night.
By the time Lin Tian received the news, the studio was already in an uproar.
He Zhichen sent three messages to Lin Tian to report the situation to him.
I thought the sales would explode, but I didn’t expect it to be this explosive! On the first day of the release, almost all physical CD stores across the country were sold out! There were long queues everywhere, and the video went viral on TikTok.
Many fans called to complain about not being able to buy the album, thinking that Le Yun was using hunger marketing, and some were so radical that they even started cursing.
On this day, Le Yun's customer service department was in a terrible situation. The phone almost never stopped ringing, all with various insults and complaints, or people wanting to know the exact time when the album could be purchased.
Le Yun's production department and production department were ordered to work overtime overnight to expand the production of "Rainy Day Wet".
This is the first time in Le Yun’s 20-year history that it has announced an expansion in production on the first day of a new album’s release.
Even the old chairman couldn't help but sigh:
"It is Le Yun's fortune to have these two children."
Until later.
Le Yun’s official Weibo account officially announced that they are expanding record production and that the second batch of pre-orders will be available within three days.
The public opinion gradually subsided.
And just after this day.
A magical trend has begun to emerge on the Internet.
Many people who have already bought Yuemao's physical album have started posting videos on Tik Tok and Bilibili.
All kinds of pretentious "unboxing videos" and "hands-on experience". Secretly, they are all showing off!
This aroused envy among netizens.
[Damn! I should have pre-ordered it earlier! Who knew it would be so hard to get! ]
[Damn it, this isn't an electronic product, how can there be any testing experience! It's clearly just showing off! ]
【Call me "Brother" and reply to the message to win three prizes to get my new album. 】
[Does anyone have any spare ones? I really want them!]
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
【.】
Now, even the value of the album itself doesn't matter.
Owning a copy of "Wet" is proof of your identity on the Internet.
In front of it, F426 is too embarrassed to call itself the king of food.
If it was just a straightforward show-off, we would just tolerate it! The most annoying thing is that many people have come up with new tricks.
"Hey, everyone, please help me, how should I wear these stockings?"
——"Hey (suddenly took out his own dig), isn't this the album from Moonlight and Cat's debut album that I just bought this morning for the original price of 168 RMB? It comes with the Easter egg MV for "One Step Away" where you can see the most authentic duet dance of Brother Moonlight and Sister Cat, "Wet on a Rainy Day"!!"
This bastard has made netizens so angry that they are dizzy.
I often watch videos, and while I'm watching, out of the blue, the player suddenly takes out an album and starts acting like a Versailles.
The two situations that netizens fear the most are:
0 frame start and super long pre-swing!
It's just like the soul is activated! On Xianyu and Zhuanzhuan, a brand new unopened album of "Rainy Day Wet" has even been sold for more than 1,000 yuan, six times the original price, and it may not be available even if you want to buy it.
“.”
Looking at the chaos on the Internet, Lin Tian himself was shocked.
He himself didn't expect that a debut album could have such a great influence.
Is it true that the hype was too intense?
at the same time.
At He Zhichen's reminder.
Lin Tian logged into a forum called "The Light of Music".
This is a forum dedicated to discussing pure music. It gathers a large number of music professionals and enthusiasts, and there are also many "real-name authenticated" musicians who communicate here. There is very little entertaining stuff, and most of the discussions are about professional things, so it is not friendly to outsiders.
It can be said to be the most authoritative forum in the music industry.
Before the album was released, Lin Tian had also been on this forum, but at that time, few people discussed him, and people were more communicating with the composers on HX-board.
And this time, when Lin Tian logged in again, the place was already occupied by the words "moonlight and cat".
On the HX-board Chinese sub-list.
Today, Moonlight and the Cat's Name topped the album sales weekly chart with "43,200" physical CD sales on the first day and "915,400" single-day streaming plays.
And in the HX-board's ranking of Chinese musicians.
The names of Moonlight and Cat also appeared in the "98th" position.
You know.
The musician rankings on HX-board are updated slightly every quarter and significantly every year, and normally there won't be much fluctuation.
The ranking will basically take into account the historical performance of active musicians in the past five years!
Those who can enter the TOP100 have all made outstanding contributions to the Chinese music industry.
In other words, Moonlight and Cats has successfully entered the TOP100 with just one album.
For a while.
The "Light of Music" forum exploded.
[What is the origin of Moonlight and Cat? How did their debut album enter the TOP100? ]
[As an internet celebrity, she has her own traffic, so it is normal for her album to have high sales, but the quality of this song is really too scary. I listened to it and I think her composing ability is absolutely top-notch! ]
[I heard that he is only 18 years old, haha, I feel that some people in our country should start to worry]
[In the next quarter's HX-board refresh, some people's fig leaves really need to be torn off. I support Moonlight to reshuffle this circle. Some old guys who have been occupying the toilet without doing anything have been comfortable for too long.]
【.】
For a time, whether it was the entertainment industry or the music industry, from the junior and senior high school students in the fan circle to the music lovers and practitioners over the age of fifty.
Because of the album "Wet", everyone noticed this magical group and kept discussing it.
And at this moment. In the coffee shop.
Gan Yanyu lay on the sofa, looking at her phone.
Browsing people's comments and complaints about the album, as well as some short stories that stemmed from purchasing the album.
The girl was nervous at first, but her expression gradually became relaxed, and finally she could no longer hide the smile on her face.
“.”
Seeing this scene, Lin Tian could understand Gan Yanyu's feelings very well.
For Gan Yanyu.
The biggest dream, besides the Cole Cup.
I just hope that more people can hear my music.
Especially to let more people fall in love with classical music!
In China, the vast majority of young people are not interested in classical music, and it can even be said that they do not understand it.
Gan Yanyu is very happy to see everyone gradually fall in love with music.
Being able to keep doing this.
For Gan Yanyu, it is really rare. However.
This is just the beginning!
The first album has just been released.
The dream has just begun!
Right now, there are more important things to do.
"Teacher Gan."
Lin Tian stood up and came to Gan Yanyu.
A notebook was placed in front of the girl.
While the album was being released today, Lin Tian was not idle at all.
"I have already written the piece that will be played at the finals in a few days."
"A new song?"
Gan Yanyu sat up, a little surprised.
Because Lin Tian had never told her about this, she thought that Lin Tian would continue to let her try the song "Ode to Love".
"After this semi-final, I thought a lot. But I think, no matter what the result is, I still hope that we can finish the Yingqin Cup in a more relaxed and happy mood."
Lin Tian suddenly said in a serious tone.
Then, Gan Yanyu looked at the song title on the notebook——
Hungarian Dance No. 5 in G minor.
