Chapter 1026 Important Guests
Jason's new single was officially released on major legitimate music platforms on June 1. People had to spend $3 to download and listen to the song. Nearly 3 million people around the world bought the song immediately after it was released, but the growth rate gradually slowed down. Hardcore fans had bought all they should have, and the rest were passers-by who might or might not listen to it.
Just as Scott had pessimistically predicted before, the number of people paying for the single this time is much lower than when Jason released his last single two years ago. Everyone has already downloaded the pirated version, so there is no need to spend extra money. Wouldn't it be nice to have a few pieces of barbecue for $3?
Scott said to Jason worriedly, "I hope plan C works."
Jason was much more optimistic than him. He was reading the comments from genuine users. "No matter how bad it is, there are still more than three million people who bought it. Ten million dollars in sales on the first day, that's not bad!"
"My God, how can you set such low standards for yourself! Look at Warren (a male singer of the same caliber as Jason) who released a new single last month. The number of paying subscribers reached 7 million on the first day!"
"That's normal. He's younger than me and he's really talented. I won't be jealous of him. Isn't there a big difference between 7 million and 3 million? It's still a few million. Besides, you know that consumers nowadays like younger and fresher meat. They can't even chew an old cucumber like me!"
Scott was speechless, "You can't be content with the status quo, otherwise you will be surpassed by other singers sooner or later."
"It's only a matter of time before I surpass others. How can there be a myth that will never fail? People will eventually die. In another 30 years, I'm afraid that new listeners won't even know who I am."
"Don't talk about those distant things. Let's just focus on the present. Don't you want to compete for the billboard?"
...
...
"If I don't want to compete, where does Plan C come from? Isn't the physical single not on sale yet? Who will have the last laugh is still up in the air," Jason sneered and stood up, "It's time to go to the club. Call Amanda and the others!"
Jason only opened 20 seats for the performance to the public, and he and He Lushen split the remaining 40 seats in half. All the employees in his recording studio could come and listen, and he also invited some of his close friends, such as Bang, while Scott invited several colleagues in the music industry and entrepreneur friends.
He Lushen invited many big names. He discussed carefully with Yu Zhan and Song Junzhe and drew up a list of invited guests. Except for Maria and her daughter, Tom and others who were there to repay favors, the other guests were carefully considered. Yu Zhan first sent an invitation letter to the Micro brothers. They are now partners. The Micro brothers have left New York, but they happily agreed to come as audience members.
This was also within Yu Zhan's expectations. He felt that the black-haired Mr. Harvey seemed to have a mysterious interest in Chinese culture. He said on the phone that the performance would be full of Chinese elements, and the other party agreed without any hesitation.
It just so happened that Harvey also wanted to meet Liu?, and they hadn’t discussed the filming yet.
Yu Zhan also asked Li Xiaoru to invite Mr. Martin from the Juilliard School of Music and several well-known professors in his name. After Liu arrived in the United States, she visited Mr. Martin at Juilliard and thanked him for taking care of Li Xiaoru. Mr. Martin wanted her to hold a small folk music concert at the school, but she was too busy at the time and did not agree immediately. Later, she was injured and there was no way to mention this matter again.
It is definitely unrealistic to talk about a folk music concert now. With so many songs in one performance, how long will it take to prepare? Liu? has to return to China as soon as she finishes the MV to prepare for the final exams. She still has a lot of work to do in China! So Yu Zhan thought of inviting Mr. Martin to the scene to make up for this regret, and by the way, let Li Xiaoru get good relationships with several professors and teachers, which will be beneficial to her later piano competition.
