The next day, the three of them went to Tianfeng Entertainment together in Feng Xiaoyun's car.
Sister Chen didn't think much of the three people coming in together. She just thought they met in the underground garage or elevator.
"Yan Zi, as of this morning, in just ten days, your EP album 'Cicada III' has already sold over five million copies. And the song 'Cicada', which is available for free on Yunsheng Audio, has already garnered over 200 million hits."
Sister Chen was a little excited. For a newcomer who had only released one single before, such an achievement could be considered a huge hit.
A lot of the five million sales were overseas sales. Although it cannot be said that it has entered the international market, it is at least a good start.
After all, Heroes of the Storm is the world's most popular competitive game. According to statistics, today's live broadcast of the World Finals attracted over 400 million viewers, with many watching recordings and short videos afterwards. So it's no surprise that Yan Zi's album has also become popular.
What Sister Chen didn't mention is that Guan Yue's album sales in ten days were just shy of 900,000. Judging from the albums they are currently selling, the two are no longer rivals of the same level.
After saying that, Sister Chen said to Xu Linling, "Boss Xu, now no one in the company should have any doubts about it."
"Haha, yes, this time it's all thanks to Yan Zi and Sister Chen. Lu Ming, the head of the Publicity Department who was hospitalized yesterday, came to work, and the first thing he did was to dismiss his deputy. Many senior executives who were originally on the sidelines have also expressed their opinions. I believe that there will be fewer constraints on the management of the company in the future. Thank you very much."
"Look at what you said, we are originally on the same line..."
"Grasshopper!" Feng Xiaoyun added two words before Sister Chen finished speaking.
"You are the grasshopper. Look at you wearing these shabby green clothes. If not a grasshopper, what are you?" Sister Chen was furious when she heard what Feng Xiaoyun said. This kid is really annoying when he opens his mouth sometimes.
Yan Zi and Xu Linling were amused and laughed out loud.
"Okay, I'm going back to my office. I also looked at the sales curve of Yan Zi's album yesterday. It shouldn't be difficult to sell over 10 million copies. I have to tell everyone to start preparing a celebration banquet for you."
You have to know that even in the era of digital albums, the revenue of an album is only a few yuan, but if the sales volume is tens of millions, that is tens of millions of dollars in revenue, so the company will certainly express its opinion.
After Xu Linling left, Sister Chen began to arrange the subsequent work.
"Yan Zi, didn't they say last time that a variety show wanted to invite you to be a guest? Since you've been so popular recently, they want to leverage your popularity, so they want to move your appearance on the show up to the day after tomorrow. I've already agreed."
"Because this show really doesn't have a script, it's a celebrity escape room game, so there's no need for rehearsal. You just have to pretend you're playing an escape room game with the other celebrities."
After that, Sister Chen gave Yan Zi a general introduction to the program and the situation of the regular guests.
This is considered a new variety show. It was originally a blind date talent show broadcast by Gucheng TV during this time period. Later, due to excessive controversy on the Internet and in society, it was ordered to rectify by the authorities. The ratings of that variety show were originally mediocre, so in the end Gucheng TV simply canceled it and replaced it with the new variety show called "How to Escape from the Secret Room".
The selling point of this variety show is that it has no script. The directors invited a domestic team specializing in designing escape room puzzles to create the scenes. Even the directors don't know how to decipher the puzzles. So if the guests can't solve the puzzles, they will likely be trapped in the level for a long time.
Because of this, many famous artists invited by the director team were rejected.
The reason is very simple. First, you don't have a script. Games like escape rooms are meant for young people. If you throw a well-known artist in his thirties or forties into it, he really might not know how to play.
Secondly, this variety show has just started, and no one knows whether it will be popular. What if it is a lukewarm hit, and I look like a fool in it, wouldn't that be a loss of both the wife and the army?
After inviting several famous artists and being rejected, the director team simply gritted their teeth and directly invited young and new artists as all guests.
After all, as long as newcomers have an official announcement from a major TV station, they will generally be considered, and young people are also suitable for this kind of game. Their fans are mostly young people, which overlaps with the target audience of variety shows.
More importantly, if you lock a famous artist in there for most of the day and don't let them out, you'll have trouble handling the situation if they get angry with the production team. Smaller artists don't exist. You see, many prank shows tend to feature smaller artists. Why? Because even if they feel they're being pranked, they don't dare to make a scene.
Later, the show invited two regular guests.
One was An Feiyu, who recently starred in a youth sports drama that received good ratings and reviews. His popularity was also on the rise, and he had a good personal reputation. Furthermore, his athletic portrayal in the drama had left a deep impression on many viewers, so he was invited as a regular guest. After all, some of these games do require some athletic ability.
The second regular guest is Yao Xianer, a complete variety show artist. There is no derogatory meaning here, but her announcements are basically variety shows, with no other singing or film and television works. However, Yao Xianer's sense of variety is really good, and she is cute, so there is still a certain bonus to the ratings of variety shows.
