"So what happened next?"
Seeing Chen Chen's anger, Fang Yang took on the role of the straight man.
"Later, after the fans' rampage, ordinary people started to take the stage."
When this was mentioned, Chen Chen became very animated. "You don't know, Cang Mingyue's reputation as a top-tier singer is well-deserved. Huang Zhenyong, the king of music, really has some talent. He adapted two of Liu Xia Sheng Yan's songs into extremely beautiful ones, and Cang Mingyue's singing is also superb. With the two working together, this album really has the potential to be a huge hit."
Fang Yang understood. There are still experts in this world, but their works are few. Come to think of it, you can't expect a few people to rival the achievements of the Earth over several decades, can you?
"If that's the case, then it means that Cang Mingyue's sales of 100,000 albums per hour are quite reliable. Once the quality improves and the word-of-mouth gets better, the sales will increase significantly."
Fang Yang's realistic analysis suggests that the appeal of a veteran top-tier singer is built up year after year through albums. Cang Mingyue is a powerful singer, and with the added bonus of songs by two top-tier singers, a mere 100,000 albums is just the beginning. It must be said that Qingcheng Film and Television has put in a lot of effort and played a good hand.
"That's right. In the second hour, Cang Mingyue's album sales exploded, with 150,000 copies sold, a 50% increase from the first hour. And this was just the beginning. By the third hour, when we just came out, we had sold 210,000 copies. In just three hours, we sold 460,000 copies. We estimate that we will reach our first platinum album by noon today, which is rare in the film album market in recent years!"
Fang Yang looked at Chen Chen's grinning face and said, "It seems that Cang Mingyue's sales performance is quite good. Why are you so happy?"
Fang Yang played the role of the straight man very well, giving Chen Chen plenty of face.
"Although Cang Mingyue's grades are good, Zheng Xiuli's grades are even better!"
Chen Chen finally burst into unrestrained laughter, like an old fox who had stolen a chicken, his laughter concealing a sense of triumph, mixed with a hint of cunning.
Fang Yang looked at Zheng Xiuli. Well, let's have the person involved speak. After listening to Chen Chen for so long, I'm still confused.
When Zheng Xiuli saw Fang Yang looking over, she naturally dared not be negligent. "At first, my album only sold 20,000 copies, but the Yuewen Entertainment Media website simultaneously released a digital album. As you know, most of the users on the Yuewen Entertainment Media website are your fans. They saw that the entire album was written by you, and after listening to the samples, everyone liked it very much. So many people started to place orders to buy a film album as a souvenir."
Fang Yang never expected that Zheng Xiuli, who was always straightforward, would also learn to flatter. "According to you, all the credit is on me."
"That's right. The key is that Mr. Fang writes good songs. As for me, I'm just a tool for singing. Of course, I'm also a tool with a little bit of talent."
Zheng Xiuli pinched her fingernails and said to Fang Yang with a charming smile.
"If that's the case, anyone can replace you. It seems you're not that important after all," Fang Yang said thoughtfully, resting his chin on his hand.
"How could that be? A cute and well-behaved little beauty like me, with a voice kissed by an angel, and trained by a professional institution, with so many advantages, is hard to find these days."
Upon hearing that she could be replaced, Zheng Xiuli immediately retorted like a cat with its fur standing on end, which made Fang Yang laugh out loud. "Serves you right for pretending! Now you're getting anxious, aren't you?"
Zhong Zhifeng, who had been smiling silently, chimed in, "Actually, Xiao Zheng is quite good. With this album release, she's been running around promoting it day and night, often visiting two cities a day. She just got back yesterday. She's also taken on the responsibility of being a senior colleague in our company."
Fang Yang glanced at Zheng Xiuli and said, "You seem alright now. I hope you can keep it up. The entertainment industry is full of temptations. I sincerely hope you can stay true to your original aspirations and not be corrupted by this industry."
Zheng Xiuli pouted, "I wouldn't, I'm not stupid."
Fang Yang smiled and said that after talking for a long time, the two people had gone through the same thing, and the conversation had gone completely off-topic. He still hadn't explained the situation clearly.
Fortunately, Zhong Zhifeng chimed in, "At first, Xiao Zheng's album sales were not very good. This may be related to the fact that Xiao Zheng's fans are not very loyal. After all, he has not been in the industry for very long and has not released an album yet. In addition, the promotion time was very rushed, and the album release promotional advertisements were overshadowed by Cang Mingyue's brilliance."
Fang Yang agreed with this reasoning. Although Zheng Xiuli's songs were very popular, there weren't many of them. Her original songs were confined to a corner of the Yuewen Entertainment Media website. However, on the Yuewen Entertainment Media website, almost all the spotlight was on Fang Yang, leaving Zheng Xiuli in an awkward position. This is why, although Zheng Xiuli's songs are classics, the download numbers never seem to go up.
"Furthermore, today is the day of the War of the Gods. Although no other people are releasing albums, there are quite a few superstars and top singers releasing singles. These people have a lot of publicity power. So from the beginning, Xiao Zheng was in a disadvantageous position. In other words, he was too low-profile and was practically a nobody."
Fang Yang looked at Zheng Xiuli, who was giggling beside him, and said, "Did you hear that? Although you have released a few good singles, they are limited to the Yuewen Entertainment Media website. In terms of the whole country and the entire internet, you are still just a nobody. The revolution has not yet succeeded, comrade, you still need to work hard."
Zheng Xiuli rolled her eyes at Fang Yang. Although Fang Yang's words made sense, Zheng Xiuli still felt a little wronged. She also had tens of millions of fans, even though they were a bit of a letdown at the crucial moment.
"Because the digital album was released simultaneously across the entire network, there were many people listening to it. In addition, everyone knows that today is the day of the battle of the gods. Unless they are some die-hard fans, most people will continue to scroll down to see if there are any songs they like after listening to the songs of the previous kings and queens."
As the head of the planning department, Zhong Zhifeng was very clear about the ins and outs of the matter, and it was inevitable that he had put in a lot of effort. "As the least famous contestant in this episode, Zheng Xiuli's song downloads were at the bottom from the start. This was because she had fewer die-hard fans. Falling behind at one step led to falling behind at every step. So in the first hour, only 20,000 copies of the film album were sold, and only a little over 100,000 copies of the digital album were downloaded."
After talking so much, Zhong Zhifeng felt his mouth was dry. He picked up the teacup in front of him and drank it all in one gulp before licking his dry lips. The exciting battles that had taken place for several hours that morning had made even the usually calm Zhong Zhifeng tremble with excitement. It was just too thrilling!
