Chapter 188 Breaking records and addressing foreign goods
Zhao Chen naturally would not think that this collection of piano albums by four well-known pianists would only sell millions, but it would be almost the same if it were just in the island country. But if it were global, there would undoubtedly be huge deviations, especially Europe is the real sales of piano music.
"Okay, everyone work harder and record this piano album. After the recording, I will treat everyone to dinner!"
Zhao Chen did not give any explanation, but reminded the two recording engineers and started preparing again.
For piano albums like this, the most important sales are naturally tapes and DVDs. The tapes only need to be completed in the recording studio. As for recording DVDs, although they can also be completed in the recording studio, those who buy them will undoubtedly not buy them. They often go to classical and beautiful halls to record.
It is relatively easy to record the tape, and only the performer needs to play it skillfully, but if there is an error, it needs to be re-recorded. If Zhao Chen is asked to sing, it will undoubtedly need to be recorded many times, but if you just come to play the piano, it will be more relaxed and pleasant. It will be recorded in less than a day, and then you only need to take the time to record the DVD.
When recording DVDs, in addition to the player not making mistakes, you also need to try your best to show the elegance of the pianist and wear a black tuxedo or suit.
After more than two years of uninterrupted exercise and sufficient nutrition, Zhao Chen's physique has improved to almost perfectly. With his 1.8-meter-old figure and handsome appearance, the recording engineer feels that the DVD sales of piano albums are definitely not bad, at least it has a strong attraction for those young girls who are not well-versed in the world, so that they can pay for money.
The DVD recording is a lot of trouble. It took more than one to be done, and the rest was handed over to various technical personnel of Being for post-production and will be sold later.
Of course, before selling, advertisements must be played. Even though Being Music Chairman Daiyuki Nagato believes that the quality of the album is the first, and he never disdains to use exposure to increase sales. In this case, it would be fine if the computer was not popular, but once the computer was popular, there was no advertisement, and even the singers were not allowed to interview on TV, this would be a problem. For Zhao Chen, only the combination of the two is the king.
So after recording the DVD, Zhao Chen used later commercial advertising techniques and overwhelming advertisements began to spread. Whether it was his "Daily News" or various comic publications from the World Club, they were constantly advertising.
Not only that, Zhao Chen also directly used his fame to hold a media conference and performed several piano music at the press conference.
The direct consequence of this is. The reporters who came to attend the media conference were a little puzzled at first, but when Zhao Chen explained that he was building momentum for the release of the piano album, they inevitably had doubts. Instead, when they heard the piano music played by Zhao Chen, they couldn't help but fall into it, and the questioning thoughts were gone. Instead, they were excited to think that this was a big news and each began to think about how to write this report.
So a large number of newspapers and media or TV stations began to promote Zhao Chen's piano album for free. They were all praised, especially when the TV station played the piano music played by Zhao Chen at the press conference, which directly led to the fact that everyone knew about the piano album before the release of the piano album, and a considerable number of islanders made reservations at various sales points.
Perhaps it is due to Zhao Chen's deep reputation in the island country. Although the piano music played by the TV station is relatively vague, there are also many people booking in the entire island country. In addition, after the bombardment by the media, the popularity was very high. Therefore, the pre-sales day before the sale reached the figure of more than 700,000, which was due to the fact that Being Music Company had fewer sales points in the island country.
The pre-sale reached more than 700,000 yuan, which directly broke the pre-sale record of Being Music Company, and even broke the total sales record of single albums.
Generally speaking, except for pre-sales, the sales volume on the first day of the album are often the highest, and only those excellent quality or special albums will have variables.
Zhao Chen's piano album sold more than three days on the first day of the island country. The first day alone made a million album. This was simply a snatch of money, which led to many music companies envy, jealousy and hatred, and shouted that the wolf was coming.
The sales reached one million on the first day, which directly prompted most newspapers and media and TV stations to sing praises again, which increased the reputation of this piano album to a higher level. However, the most important thing is the quality of this piano album. For example, many of the booked ones are actually fans of Zhao Chen himself, and they are actually Zhao Chen's face. However, after listening to the piano music in it, they are often attracted by various styles of piano music, and naturally recommend it to friends.
So on the next day, the sales point for selling Zhao Chen's piano albums appeared in a jaw-dropping scene. The entrance of each sales point was filled with dense people. These people were mainly young people in their twenties. Most of them entered society and had enough money to buy them. Secondly, there were young boys and girls. This group was not much smaller than young people. Most of them had actually read Zhao Chen's comics and were recommended by others to raise money to buy them. In addition, there were also many middle-aged people in line, and even the elderly could see several. This was mainly because the origin of the piano was too early. Compared with popular songs, many elderly people now prefer classical music, especially piano music.
In this way, these sales points keep playing the piano music of Zhao Chen's album in a loop to attract more buyers.
This kind of buying scene directly prompts the sales volume of albums at the sales point to be sold quickly. The boss or manager of the sales point keeps calling Being sales department to urge shipments.
Fortunately, Zhao Chen saw the opportunity early, and it was more because he suppressed the opposition in terms of the quality of this piano album, and directly increased the number of the first batch of albums to two million. Even so, Zhao Chen still often urged Being to produce more. After all, this is a piano music, which is common in all regions around the world, and does not require lyrics in various regions like pop music. Even if it cannot be sold in the island country, it can be sold to other regions.
The sales volume of albums and DVDs is relatively easy to count, and you only need to follow the shipment quantity. So Zhao Chen got this sales at night. Compared with more than 300,000 on the first day, the next day, there was a bottoming rebound, and the sales volume was more than 400,000 on the first day, reaching more than 400,000 on the first day. In this way, in just two days, Zhao Chen's total sales of piano albums reached an astonishing one.5 million.
"Shocking! The first local album with a sales of 2 million is about to be released?" - "Reading News"
"Horror sales create a prosperous music era?" - "Daily News"
"It is strongly recommended to resist the crazy money-making behavior of the enemy's people!" - "Asakura Shimbun"
"Two million may not be the end!" - "Sankei Shimbun"...
In the face of amazing sales, whether it is large-scale newspapers or small news media, they are constantly reporting. Zhao Chen's piano album is really powerful, which is so powerful that it is about to break the total sales record of single albums in the island country.
The first million-dollar album in the Island Country was created by Inoue Yomizu's 1973 album "Ice World", which initially launched the musical era of the Island Country. The sales of music albums continued to rise, and the number of music albums with sales of one million began to increase, but the highest sales did not reach two million. Judging from the trend of Zhao Chen's piano album, it is simple to break through two million in the Island Country. Even if it exceeds three million, it is quite possible, but it takes time to accumulate.
Zhao Chen's piano album is still a big hit, but the sales have been declining since the third day, but it still successfully exceeded 2 million sales on the fifth day, successfully breaking the record of islanders.
This record is like a fig leaf for the islander. As soon as it was broken, many media believed that Zhao Chen, a foreigner, broke the sales record of the islander. This was simply a naked slap in the face of "chiluo". At the same time, they called on the majority of islanders to stop purchasing and boycott foreign goods.
Unfortunately, people always have a rebellious mentality. Moreover, most of the people who buy albums are teenagers in their twenties. The appeals from these unscrupulous media have once again shocked Zhao Chen's reputation for piano albums, causing more islanders to buy them. The sales, which were originally sluggish, increased rapidly again, which made these media stunned. They saw that the sales volume was getting closer to three million and they were powerless.
