Chapter 406: Cold Winter Comes(2/2)
But this puts no pressure on them. There is no loss if they have a backlog of tens of thousands of records that cannot be sold. The production cost is not reflected in the final printing and distribution. If it is just a disc, there is no cost. Tens of thousands more copies will be printed and distributed.
It will not cause any loss and can basically be ignored.
According to industry practice, if the sales data of more than 200,000 pieces is written as a soft article, it will start at 500,000.
And it’s still a sensational “first day sales of 500,000 copies”.
——Yes, on the evening of January 25, such a soft article appeared in entertainment newspapers, and also appeared in entertainment news on several radio and television stations.
This is building momentum for Gu Ru.
It is to bring her final performance career to a successful conclusion, and at the same time it is also to increase her net worth, create a persona of a mainland music diva, and obtain more and better performance opportunities and advertising endorsement opportunities.
It’s just the last month, and Gu Ru also wants to earn more.
The sales volume of her personal album is a major evidence of her strength and status in the music industry, and it is also the most powerful evidence.
Starlight Entertainment is not the first to make false publicity in the sales of records. The entire industry does this.
Putting aside the falsehoods, just talking about the real sales volume, this data is also excellent.
The main reason is that these songs of hers can be hits, and each one has the ability to be a hit song.
Although it is his first solo album, its quality is even better than a greatest hits album.
More than a dozen highly popular classic songs are integrated into one record, and she is the original singer, which is quite attractive to fans.
There is another bigger reason, that is, there is no piracy yet.
All are sold online, and they are sold by pre-sale one month in advance.
Before January 25th, this record was not available on the market, and it was impossible to pirate it even if you wanted to.
——Although some pirated copies are pirated by the original record companies themselves, but now the records are not officially sold, and they are pirated, it is a bit too much, and people should not make their appearance so ugly.
These songs of hers have been found on the Internet for a long time, and many people have downloaded them, and there are many various platter records.
But at that time, the conditions were limited, the production was simple, and there was not much cost. The quality was not very good, just the quality of ordinary online songs.
The quality of the pirated records based on that version is naturally not much better, with a strong copycat style.
As for this solo album, she was in the best condition, hired a first-class production team, re-arranged the songs, and it took nearly a month to complete.
Each song has half a minute of content posted online, and the listening effect is completely different, directly to the next level.
This naturally attracted many fans, who were willing to spend ten or twenty yuan to buy such a high-quality album.
Of the sales of more than 200,000 copies, users of Xingguang.com accounted for more than half.
Gu Ru is the first sister and one of the bosses of Starlight Entertainment, so of course the website must vigorously promote her.
In addition, in order to make sales data better, Gu Ru will also interact with fans on music forums when she has free time.
With her current celebrity status, if she lands on a mobile website, it will definitely cause a sensation and attract a large number of people to watch.
With such publicity and momentum, it is understandable that more people will buy her album.
This solo album is Gu Ru's first album, and it is also her final work. It is the realization of her dream over the years, so she attaches great importance to it.
Even if he is busy with business performances outside, he will ask Yan Xin for online pre-sale data every day.
After the number of pre-sales exceeded 100,000, she said this:
"My life is worth it! I am worthy of my dreams! I am worthy of who I was when I was young!"
Years of persistence finally paid off.
With this achievement, you can leave a deep footprint in the music world.
This is the 21st century when industry insiders lament that "records are dead". There are only a few companies in the entire Chinese-speaking region that can achieve such results a year.
It's something she should be proud of.
This year she did not receive an invitation to the Spring Festival Gala of Brick TV because she had already participated last year but not this year, which was not surprising.
She is not a person related to the Spring Festival Gala, and she does not have such connections. She only relied on the popularity of her songs to get into the Spring Festival Gala.
It’s not easy to be in the last class. If you want to be in the class two years in a row, you haven’t reached that point yet.
However, although she did not attend the Spring Festival Gala of Zhuaner TV, she received invitations from several satellite TV Spring Festival Galas.
Those satellite TV stations have both live and recorded Spring Festival Galas. There is no conflict in time, and the ratings over the years have always been good.
The most important thing is that the price offered is quite high.
As long as the schedule can be arranged, Gu Runa will not refuse anyone who comes, and she accepted the Spring Festival Gala invitations from four satellite TV stations in one go.
In addition, there are platter concerts, annual meetings of large companies, and events in large shopping malls. There are quite a lot of performance opportunities.
At the end of the year, she received several invitations for advertising endorsements, and she had already asked Xiao Yin to talk to them.
As long as she can earn money, she doesn't want to miss it.
In January, Chen Li's physical publishing fees for the second half of 2007 were settled, and half of them were given to Yan Xin. The remaining half was enough for him to repay the more than one million he borrowed from Gu Ru.
He even used the remaining money to buy a house of more than 100 square meters in Pengcheng, and also bought a parking space.
This is what he said to Yan Xin: "If mother and son do not do well abroad and want to return to China, I will give them this house. Then I will be completely benevolent."
After he and Liang Wei rejoined QQ friends, they didn't chat much, but Liang Wei would still take the initiative to tell him about the child - after all, he paid two hundred thousand dollars.
The child has not been born yet, but the gender is already known. He is a son.
Liang Wei also asked Chen Li what name he wanted to give his son.
Chen Li replied to her: "He was born in the United States, and he will be an American from now on. Just give him an American name. You are his mother and his guardian. It is up to you. You don't need to ask me."
But looking back, he asked Yan Xin again:
"If I have a son, what do you think would be a better name?"
Yan Xin was very surprised: "You don't want a son, why did you think of this problem?"
"Isn't it available now?" Chen Li said depressedly.
Yan Xin was stunned for a moment, understood what was going on, and said to him: "You have to think about it yourself. You are a writer who doesn't know how to name yourself. Ask me? Don't you think this is funny?"
Chen Li was surprised: "What's so funny about this? Aren't you the names of the main characters in these two books?"
Yan Xin couldn't say that he plagiarized the name, so he just patted him on the shoulder and said meaningfully:
"I can't take away the joy that a father should have. Your son's name can only be chosen by you."
