Chapter 672: Album Release(1/2)
"Can't you afford it?" Xu Qing's voice sounded in the hotel.
"It's still early to lie down again. Besides, there's nothing to do during the day, and the performance will only start at night." He was Ye Sitang's lazy voice.
"Lying down for a while." Hearing this, Xu Qing, who was about to get up, lay back again.
"Oh, don't touch it."
"Believe me, I'm a serious person. I just met him by chance."
"Since you're not careful, then take it away~~~Don't move around."
"Look at you, you don't believe me. I am a gentleman, but there is something wrong with my nervous system. Sometimes my brain can't control my body, and I'm also very distressed."
One hour later...
"Get up, aren't you hungry?" Xu Qing's voice sounded again.
"It hurts if you're not hungry..." Ye Sitang couldn't help frowning.
"Uh... I blame me, mainly because I am talented and I can't do anything about it."
"I'll die if I brag less?"
"Yo~~ I don't believe it, right? I'll let you see if I'm bragging."
"No, no, I was wrong, I was wrong."
"You keep lying down, I'll go wash, there's something to deal with." As he said that, Xu Qing lifted the quilt and stood up and walked towards the bathroom.
After a while, Xu Qing, wearing a bathrobe, arrived in the living room of the suite, put the computer that was fetched out of the suitcase on the hotel computer desk, and then ran to the phone and ordered some breakfast.
Although the two of them had been having a long fight, in fact, it was only 10 o'clock now, and the biological clocks of the two people determined that they could not sleep comfortably until noon.
After doing this, Xu Qing started to sit in front of the computer and started working for a day. The company has been opened to this point, and he actually has to deal with a lot of things every day.
For example, every morning I have to read some work daily newspapers sent to him by middle and senior management on OA.
Of course, he is really too lazy to read some of them immediately. After all, he is just a cc target, and there are not many people in the company who report directly to him. It is okay to save the information sent to him for a week to read them together.
After talking about the live broadcast of the full ball with Cheng Zifu, he immediately gave it to Tang Qian. Judging from the progress of the work daily report reported on the OA, Tang Qian had already held a team to discuss it, and it is estimated that she will come up with a plan soon.
After handling some daily affairs, Xu Qing focused on the focus of this period, which was the release of the Korean album of Maruko Tuan.
According to the original plan, the album will be released at 12 noon today.
In fact, when the public opinion of Xu Qing and Du Yang Qingmei ended, the promotion has never stopped after he released "Tomboy" online.
In addition, the news that Marukotuan is about to release a Korean album, anyone who has watched "You From the Star" must know it.
Because in the two seconds when the opening episodes of "You From the Stars" were displayed, there was an upcoming image advertisement for the Maruko Tun album.
So, now quite a lot of people have expressed their expectations for the Korean album of Maruko Tuan.
After a while, the breakfast was delivered to the door and placed it. After Xu Qing took it, he left a portion for Ye Sitang.
I went back to the computer desk while having breakfast, while flipping through the pile of mobile phones placed next to the computer.
Xu Qing really brings a bunch of mobile phones when he goes out. In addition to the mobile phones used for work and private phones, there are also licensed mobile phones from the United States, Japan and South Korea. Whether it is the phone cards used or the software downloaded, they are commonly used by locals in various countries.
Fortunately, Xu Qing now knows multiple languages, otherwise he wouldn't be able to play this game.
Although this is a bit troublesome, the benefits are obvious.
Xu Qing opened MelOn, the largest audio source platform in South Korea on his mobile phone. The poster of Marukotuan's album was hung in a conspicuous position on the homepage, and the poster wrote the time of its launch.
This is a music platform similar to Qyin and NetEase Cloud. Since it is a music platform, it naturally has a list, such as daily, weekly, monthly, annual, etc. Of course, there is also a real-time list, which has no value.
MelOn's list algorithm is quite intuitive, with streaming media playing 40% and downloading 60%. The results after the addition of the two are used to ranking the list.
MelOn's list is very important in the Korean music circle, because one of the factors that select one of the many song-producing programs is to look at the sound source score. Most song-producing programs are calculated based on MelOn's data.
Of course, scores and other honors are honors. More importantly, listening to songs on MelOn requires money, which is equivalent to buying a digital album or digital single. If you have a high ranking, you will naturally have high returns, which is all real money.
It is worth mentioning that the reason why Xu Qing chose to release a new album at 12 noon instead of 12 a.m. is because in Blue Star’s South Korea, the daily list of MelOn software is updated at 12 noon.
In other words, they calculate the data for the day from twelve noon on the first day to twelve noon on the next day, which is somewhat different from the earth.
In addition to MelOn's list, there is also a sound source list called Gaon.
However, compared with the Gaon sound source chart, its physical album shipment chart is more eye-catching.
Generally speaking, the Korean music market ecosystem is relatively mature, which is why their artists are happy to release albums, because the mature market mechanism can enable artists to form a relatively mature channel for making money.
"What are you watching? You're so fascinated." After a long time, Ye Sitang, who woke up, stretched out his hand and wrapped it behind Xu Qing and asked.
"Look at the release of your Korean albums." Xu Qing said with a smile, "There is breakfast on the coffee table, so you can eat some mats first."
"I won't eat anymore, it's almost 12 o'clock." Ye Sitang was still lying behind Xu Qing. Her hair swept back and forth around Xu Qing's neck under the touch of her head shaking her head. Xu Qing couldn't help but shrink her neck.
However, after Ye Sitang reminded me, Xu Qing glanced at the lower right corner of the computer and found that it was indeed almost twelve o'clock, so he said, "It's 12 o'clock, your album is time to be launched."
"Yes, I forgot if you don't say it."
"Good guy, you don't pay attention to this matter at all." Xu Qing said helplessly.
"I'm following, why don't I pay attention? If I don't pay attention, I can adjust the performance to this day. I'm just waiting to hurry up and finish to participate in the recording of a song-making program." Ye Sitang said verbally.
Hearing Ye Sitang's words, Xu Qing curled his lips and ignored Ye Sitang. Instead, he continued to flip through the INS account of the meatball ball on his mobile phone.
The INS account of Maruzituan has a group account and a personal account. The team account is managed by the company, but their personal account is used by themselves. Of course, Xu Qing and their assistant brokers also have passwords.
At this time, the INS of Maruzituan also published relevant information about the release of the new album, and there were a lot of comments in the comment section.
"What are their comments? For the translation?" Seeing that Xu Qing did not respond to him, Ye Sitang was not angry, but instead looked at his phone with a smile and asked.
"This comment says that he is very much looking forward to our new album and hopes that we can make it to the G and H charts." Xu Qing pressed his thumb against one of the comments and translated it.
"Wait, I know the G-list, what is the H-list?" Ye Sitang said in confusion.
"The G-list calculates global shipments. Even if it is shipped, if there is a return, the corresponding data will be deducted when calculating the list next time. The H-list is a real-time album sales list in South Korea. It will only be considered by the consumers. That's right?" Xu Qing explained.
"Is it possible that we can get the first place in these two lists?" Ye Sitang obviously understood Xu Qing's description.
"I can't say it, let's watch it later." Xu Qing shook his head. It's very troublesome to control the sales list of such physical albums. It should be OK to be on the list. I don't know if I can win the first place.
Unless Xu Qing spends enough money to buy enough, it is indeed a bit unrestrained.
"What about this one? What do you say about so many replies?" Ye Sitang pointed to a comment with a large number of replies in the comment area and asked.
"This is quite outrageous. It's obvious that it's not posted by Koreans. He said that we will sweep the four major music awards at the end of the year in South Korea this year."
"Four Great Awards? What Four Great Awards?" Ye Sitang was stunned again. She really didn't pay attention to the Korean music circle.
"Awards means four: awards, gold records, Seoul songs, MAMA and MMA." Xu Qing explained again.
He remembered that he seemed to have been popularized with Ye Sitang before. Why can't this guy remember it at all?
"Can you get it?"
"Except for the MAMA split-up conference, don't think about anything else. It's the end of the year now. You expect us to fly against the wind this month and have released albums that have been released for several months or even a year. I really can't win." Xu Qing shook his head and said.
To be honest, Xu Qing never considered some things, even if Xu Qing had some people's handles.
Just like Xu Qing never considered letting the meatballs get the Grammy, the group of people in the United States would never award any substantial awards to a few Chinese people, especially in the stage when China could not be restrained, so it really doesn’t have to think about it.
The stage of the US considering the Chinese market has passed. In the face of status competition, everything that is not a market must be put aside.
Therefore, instead of looking forward to these awards, it is better to consider making the album sales of the Maruko Tub the world number one in the year, which is indeed more realistic.
After all, Asia's population base is here, and it is entirely possible to become the world's number one in sales by relying on Asia to face Europe and the United States.
"Then what can we get? How can we listen to your opinion? We can't get anything when releasing albums during this period." Ye Sitang couldn't help but curl her lips when she heard this.
"That's not the case. There are still some things that can be retrieved." Xu Qing turned his hand and rubbed Ye Sitang's head and said.
"What?" Ye Sitang asked after she was rubbed by Xu Qing's hair.
"You will know then." Xu Qing kept it a secret.
Seeing that Xu Qing was unwilling to say it now, Ye Sitang didn't ask any questions anymore. In her opinion, what Xu Qing said had basically come true. If you believe him, you will be done and don't worry about the rest.
Ye Sitang believed in Xu Qing, but he didn't know that Xu Qing was still feeling quite stressed now.
There are several goals he wants to achieve in South Korea this time, including the G-list and H-list that he had just discussed with Ye Sitang.
But things have developed to the present. Except for the three Zhou Yi, who played the song program, he has been sure to get it once, the others are really a bit unlucky.
To be honest, he has prepared a sum of money to use to make volume. He must be on the list of G-list, which is not updated in real time, and the list of H-list, which has daily sales.
The audio source list including MelOn is also to be on.
However, he was still a little nervous about whether he could be on the table. On the one hand, he had absolute confidence in the popularity of the meatball ball and the single "LUV" that won 17 ones.
But on the other hand, the meatballs are not Korean after all, and this is a big influencing factor. Under the influence of this factor, even though the fans on the Internet shouted happily, it is not certain whether they can take action when they really need real money to support them.
Of course, with his current financial resources and prepared money, it takes only a few minutes to be on the list, but he doesn't want to go there. He wants to see what big moves he has made during this period and how much effect it can have.
In other words, he wanted to see what kind of results he could get with his Korean album without money and relying solely on market behavior.
Good grades mean that the meatballs have really broken through the restrictions of nationality and truly embarked on the path of international superstars.
At noon, Xu Qing and Ye Sitang still solved the lunch in the room.
In the past, Ye Sitang should have a meeting with the actors of Xingtang Club to review yesterday's performance, but she, who had just tasted the forbidden fruit, was not willing to separate from Xu Qing.
To be continued...
