Chapter 147 The advent of a new era
Jiang Mingyue was very nervous and excited. As nervous as her, she was also her friend Gu Fei and her classmates who liked KEVIN. Yes, under her guidance, almost everyone in her class had heard Chu Yue's songs, and one of the three admitted that she had liked Chu Yue's songs since then.
She is now in school. Jiasheng Company has tried her best to choose this official release date and finally gave up the idea of issuing it on weekends and holidays. She and Gu Fei were close together, sitting in a chair, holding their phones and staring at the time above. They had already used their phones to log on to Jiasheng's download website (hehe) and waited for twelve o'clock to immediately launch the download.
The huge traffic and huge influx of users before twelve o'clock almost paralyzed Jiasheng's website. If Jiasheng hadn't been prepared, I would have been afraid that it would have become a huge ugly now.
"Ten, nine, eight...three, two, one, yes!" Jiang Mingyue and his classmates counted the time to come little by little, finally cheered, and their fingers quickly moved on their phones.
A prompt "Confirm order" popped up on the screen of the mobile phone. Jiang Mingyue and Gu Fei and a few people who were obsessed with Chu Yue's songs chose to order. Looking at the bars on it moving little by little, they were so anxious that they just grabbed their heads.
Finally, the song was downloaded successfully. Jiang Mingyue didn't even think about anything else, so she immediately played the song "The Legend of Eternal". After listening carefully, she was completely intoxicated. Unfortunately, this song is quite generous, and it is undoubtedly not wise enough to play it with your mobile phone.
"Fefei, let's download it to MP4 after class in the afternoon. This effect is really bad!" Jiang Mingyue was extremely dissatisfied. The effect was really bad when using her mobile phone to listen.
Unlike Jiang Mingyue's choice, Huang Junxiu downloaded it in MP4. She originally didn't use this thing, but since she fell in love with Chu Yue, she bought MP4. It is said that there are other tools in it, which makes the songs in it impossible to upload or copy. This is Lin Ling's killer weapon. This is done after negotiations with major companies. Only after installing a small attached product in these MP4s can you download those paid songs.
In the office, she and some other colleagues who also like Chu Yue did not go to have dinner, but asked their friends to bring them. She and her colleagues buried themselves in the website in front of the computer, and it was not easy to squeeze in in the crowded network. The biggest name on the homepage was Chu Yue. After clicking Chu Yue's name, there were four songs in it, each song was priced at 8 yuan. If you subscribe to ten songs, you can get two free!
Chu Yue's "The Legend of Forever" has twelve songs. If you want to buy them all, it will only cost 80 Hong Kong dollars, which is 20% or 30% cheaper than the record. Huang Junxiu doesn't care about 80 yuan. As long as you like it, what's the point of spending money?
However, Jiasheng Company is not going to cheat people, so you can order them without even listening to it. There is an audition on it, which only costs 50 cents per audition. The reason for charging is because you are worried that some people will only listen but not buy it, and they will only listen! Of course, if you decide to buy it after listening once, then you will not charge the 50 cents.
"Ah, why are there only four songs?" The angry roar of colleagues sounded in the office building. Huang Junxiu looked at it and found that there were only four songs on it, including "The Legend of Eternal" and "Tag". After a closer look, he found that there was a good announcement, and the next eight songs would be released tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.
This was Jiasheng's decision on being cautious. They were worried that this would be really cracked. If that were the case, Chu Yue's album might be lost in the hands of these people. So, for the sake of caution, they distributed four songs. Judging from the current situation, the effect is undoubtedly very good.
Huang Junxiu pondered for a moment and immediately dropped the four poems. Then, she started playing with MP4, and the melodious and thick voice sounded in her ears. "The Legend of Forever" expressed the meaning of the song in Chu Yue's singing. She closed her eyes and leaned on the chair and listened silently to the song as if it had opened up a new world.
White clouds and blue sky sing loudly between heaven and earth... These pictures seemed to appear in front of Huang Junxiu's eyes. The song spread far and wide, and it seemed to penetrate the world. Only the song merged with the world, which directly taught people to experience the feeling of relaxation and joy.
"The Legend of Forever" is worthy of being Chu Yue's biggest song so far. In this song, Chu Yue almost opened his voice and released his unique voice with all his heart. After several albums, his voice has become more and more mature and attractive. Coupled with the grand and atmospheric tune, the momentum is immediately impressed.
Wang Huairou is actually not a fan of Chu Yue. Seriously, she is a fan of Chu Yue. She likes Chu Yue's tough image in "Lost", especially when she saw Chu Yue's smile when she died when she saw the ending of "Lost", a string in her heart was immediately moved, and from then on, she began to fall in love with Chu Yue.
She knew Chu Yue sing, but she always felt a little awkward when singing with Chu Yue's image as a tough guy - because Lin Ling did a good job in this area, no one else felt this way, but she felt a little awkward.
But when she saw the promotion, she couldn't help but appear on Jiasheng's mainland website. Here, she listened to each song. Especially in "Tags" "You and I have labeled each other", her eyes turned red and she bought all four songs - the discounted price of each song in the mainland was two yuan, and this total cost only eight yuan.
Listening to the fast-paced song "Tags" and savoring the lyrics in it carefully, she remembered her feelings and everything she could imagine. At this moment, she decided to become a fan of Chu Yue...
Jiasheng Company has mainly adjusted its pricing for the mainland, and the prices in other places are almost the same. At present, of course it is only 8 Hong Kong dollars. As long as the attractive period passes, the price will return to ten yuan. Of course, those two gifts will exist and some other gifts will be given!
From noon to 12 o'clock on the 9th to 12 o'clock on the 10th, the number of local orders is as high as 120,000 times, with an average of 30,000 subscribers per song. How many records can have such a huge single-day sales? There is no doubt that this is a huge success!
In the same time, the subscription figures in Taiwan exceeded 200,000, with an average of 50,000 subscribers per song. However, in mainland China, where electronic accounts and online ordering are not very popular, the sales figures are not very satisfactory, with only 440,000 subscription figures. According to the survey, most of these purchases come from big cities such as Beijing and Shanghai.
According to the mainland reports, among the purchases of these songs, "The Legend of Eternal" co-operated by Chu Yue and Lin Rui has the largest purchase volume, and the second is "Tag", and then the other two songs!
One day, the sales revenue of four songs reached more than three million, which is a rare horrible number! Jiasheng Company's originally expected number is just like this. On the surface, it seems that it is only one-third of the promotion fee. But don't forget that the reason why Jiasheng Company spent tens of millions to promote is not only to promote new songs, but more importantly to promote this new distribution method.
When this data appeared in the media, the industry was shocked. Not to mention the others, according to the sales volume of a singer's record, even if the sales volume of a top expert's local sales of 100,000 yuan per picture, it would only be only 10 million yuan. Moreover, how much does the record sales bank have to divide out among these ten million? How much does it have to divide out in various links? How much money can actually fall into the hands of a record company?
Chu Yue's local income for only four songs is as high as one million a day, and there is no layer of exploitation, only cooperation plans with banks and mobile communication companies, etc. In this way, the money that can be deposited in the hands of record companies is at least 70% to 80%.
Usually the release period of a new album can usually last up to one month, especially for first-line singers like Chu Yue, which can even be longer. If this lasts for a month, the actual sales revenue of this record will definitely exceed 10 million. And don’t forget that the record can be released as a collection later, which is another income!
Which record company can't calculate this, and after calculating, it immediately discovered the huge vitality contained in it. While major record companies were ecstatic for this new method, the outside world was extremely shocked and confused.
The record industry must be the biggest benefit of this online charge, but the distribution links were originally in a dilemma! Jiasheng's method undoubtedly avoided the traditional distribution channels, and all the links of this channel became the biggest victim. The industry was in bleakness, and everyone expected the tragic situation in the future. There was even a channel company with not very strong strength, so they simply sold the company and stopped doing it.
But in Lin Ling's eyes, this may not necessarily hurt the muscles of these channels. The main channels for record distribution have indeed moved to new channels on the Internet. But don't forget that people always want to collect good records. Traditional records cannot be annihilated, so these old channels are still useful. Moreover, since it is used as collection, the price of records can undoubtedly reach a higher level, which is not a bad thing for the parties.
In any case, Chu Yue's sales performance did quickly cause a storm locally, which quickly affected Southeast Asia, with Hong Kong as the core of the storm spreading to the world. Warner and other major international record companies had negotiated with Liyin before, and they knew about this matter, but they had never expressed much surprise now, but this sales performance did shock them.
A new era storm swept across the world quickly, and a new pattern of the record industry will inevitably be born in this way. This storm may lead to the bankruptcy of several channel companies related to music, but for the record industry that has been facing a long dead end, this means a brand new vision, a brand new way, and a brand new pattern!
Five international record companies such as Warner and Universal responded quickly and adjusted their future plans with a series of acquisitions and mergers. In this competition, Liyin and its subsidiaries, which have strong financial support in the front line, naturally took the lead, and a series of acquisitions made Liyin jump to the sixth largest record company outside the five.
As a listed company, with the storm sweeping by Jiasheng, the adaptability and achievements shown by Liyin's subsidiary Jiasheng quickly soared by as much as 10%. Liyin's original market value was 3.3 billion yuan, but after being acquired by the first-tier companies, a series of acquisitions and mergers quickly soared Liyin's market value to more than 5 billion yuan, and now it has soared to the 6 billion mark.
Of course, this has little to do with Chu Yue, and he doesn't care much about these things. What satisfied Lin Ling the most was that Chu Yue's name spread to the whole world with this storm, and everyone in the industry knew it. This is a huge reputation capital.
On the second and third day of the official release, Jiasheng released the remaining eight songs, setting off a climax again. In the seventy-two hours, all of Chu Yue's songs were released, and the number of local purchases was 540,000, which was 4 million Hong Kong dollars, which was equivalent to selling more than 40,000 records!
There was a climax in the mainland on the third day. The purchase number on that day exceeded one million, and the total purchase number reached more than two million. In Taiwan, the purchase number exceeded one million!
"The Legend of Eternal" has become a powerful classic, and no one denies this. Music critic Zhang Taifeng wrote in his article in shocked words: "From the storm and innovation that shocked the industry, "The Legend of Eternal" is obviously an album carefully planned by Jiasheng Company. No matter what role this plays in business and what effect it achieves, the fans will ultimately benefit!
"This album is comparable to Zhang Xueyou's "True Love" and I dare not call it the first classic, but it is certain that each of them has a long-lasting masterpiece. From "The Legend of Eternal" to "The First Snow", six songs that Chu Yue and Lin Rui collaborated again, except for "Lost" and "Tag", the other four are definitely worthy of the classics. Especially the three songs "The Legend of Eternal" and "The First Snow" and "The Moon Quarry", which are destined to be classics that never get tired of singing. One song is outstanding in spirit and duet with heaven and earth, one song is so pure that it cleanses the soul, and one song is as plain as serenade, light and sad."
"The three songs have become the expression of Chu Yue's voice and singing skills. Compared with "Fallen Heart", his singing and singing skills are much more mature. The three songs go to the extreme, but Chu Yue can sing these three poems deeply. Lin Rui's lyrics, Zhao Jinsheng's arrangement, and KEVIN's interpretation are all the keys to achieving classics!"
"In addition to the six works of the three best partners, there is also the works of a student who graduated from the college. His works are excellent in melody and have the potential to become an excellent composer. The only thing they lack is that they are not mature enough and the songs appear immature."
