One person's entertainment

Chapter 18, The Taste of Fire

Yanjing, Red Star Production Society.

"I have contacted the factory to burn it, and it will be shipped as early as tomorrow morning."

"Okay, I'll definitely give it to you first once it's produced."

"You are anxious, but I am more anxious than you."

Chen Jiantian has been answering phone calls the whole day today. They are all from dealers calling to place orders. He has become hoarse from explaining.

Five days, just five days, and 50000 tapes and 10000 CDs were sold out, far more than he expected.

I never thought that such a simple promotion could become so popular so quickly and so violently.

Even the two radio stations did not expect that on the song request program the next day, it was no exaggeration to say that seven out of ten calls that came in requested Shen Lingyou's "Heart Too Soft".

Their radio ratings also skyrocketed throughout the day, ranking among the top five in the entire radio station, which made the station director very happy and he directly added the song to the prime-time program.

The radio station staff vomited after hearing this, and all they could think of was "too soft-hearted".

Chen Jiantian sighed and slapped his thigh, thinking that he was careless and too conservative.

But there is still time. I should burn as many as possible in the next few days and sell another batch before piracy becomes rampant.

Time is money!
"You win." Zhan Hua came to Chen Jiantian's office and said admiringly, "My intuition is still not as good as yours!"

Chen Jiantian laughed and said proudly, "I am quite good at judging people and songs."

Zhan Hua handed over a few newspapers in his hand and said, "There have been relevant reports. It's a bit too popular. I feel that even double platinum singing can't stop it."

Before 2008, the Hong Kong ifpi considered 2.5 as a gold record, 5 as a platinum record, 10 as a double platinum, 15 as a triple platinum, and so on.

Chen Jiantian couldn't hide his smile and said, "At the age of 19, he became famous with one song. He has a promising future!"

Zhan Hua was relatively rational in his view of Shen Lingyou's personal talent and said, "Let's watch his other songs first."

Without Douyin, Weibo, and WeChat, it would take a long time to become popular all over the country in this era.

Therefore, it takes a lot of time for a person to feel the fire.

Shen Lingyou's days were not much different from usual.

The campus radio station played "Heart Too Soft" twice. Now most people in the Central Academy of Drama can sing it, and when they meet students from other classes or grades, most of them will say hello.

The teachers' attitudes towards him changed slightly. They liked him more and more as they looked at him. However, Chang Li's attitude changed in the opposite way. He became even stricter with him.

As for the album sales, Shen Lingyou is not worried at all.

He remembered that although there were many different opinions about the total sales of Ren Xianqi's album, it was rumored online that the album eventually sold 2600 million copies, the highest sales of a single album among Chinese singers, and the album was also listed on the American Gold Record Wall of Fame. However, Ren Xianqi said in an interview that the total legitimate sales of this album were more than 230 million copies, and more than 100 million copies in the mainland.

No matter what the real data is, it must be good.

However, Shen Lingyou didn't know if he could replicate this success.

Because when he traveled through time, he was like the first butterfly in the Butterfly Effect, flapping his wings and bringing the hurricane of history.

The key point is that his album has nine tool songs, while Ren Xianqi's album also has "Cry Your Heart Out" and "A Man's Tears" which are circulated as guava songs.

But the most dazzling song is still "Heart Too Soft". As long as this song is there, nothing will be a problem.

The biggest problem we face right now is piracy. Although they are fast, it still takes one to two weeks to sell out the genuine products. This is the time difference between replica production and distribution.

Shen Lingyou couldn't do anything.

Calling for support for genuine products?

Who are you? Who cares about you?

To combat piracy?
Wake up, this matter has not been resolved for many years. In the end, I had no choice but to believe Chen Jiantian.

As for him, he is preparing ten songs for his new album, and is going to drop a heavy bomb on the Chinese music scene. This time, it will not only make a splash, but also create huge waves.

"Son, you have made great progress. You have made your parents proud!"

"It's cold in the north, so you should keep warm there. If you don't have enough money, tell mom and she will send it to you. Don't be frugal."

Shen Lingyou took some time to call home. His mother approved of his going to the Central Academy of Drama, and his father was extremely proud of his singing success. From childhood to adulthood, this was the first time he made his parents proud.

Judging from the tone of my parents, I’m afraid all the relatives in the family know about this.

At first he thought he could not fit into this family. But as time went by, perhaps due to the fusion of his soul and body memories, or his parents' meticulous care and concern, his heart gradually opened up.

Honestly, it feels good to have family.

Afterwards, he called Chen Jiantian again.

I didn't realize he was such a chatterbox before. He's really talkative. Fortunately, his Mandarin is pretty good, not Hong Kong-style, so it's not that hard to listen to.

To sum up, there are a few points.

First, "Heart Too Soft" became a huge hit. The album was in short supply and sales had reached 7 tapes and 2 CDs. It sold well not only in mainland China, but also in Hong Kong and Formosa Province.

Second, the shipment volume of the second batch of albums is planned to be increased to 15 tapes and 5 CDs, totaling 20.

Third, find a time to have a meal together.

"Have a meal?"

It's reasonable to celebrate the album's huge sales.

However, there is an 80% chance that they will still mention signing a contract.

Shen Lingyou had to go, so he had to think of a plan to deal with the situation.

The 15th, Friday.

More than ten days have passed since the release of "Heart Too Soft".

Shen Lingyou finally felt the taste of fire.

This morning, he went to the cafeteria to have breakfast as usual. Just as he sat down, two girls ran over with a tape of "Heart Too Soft" and asked him for an autograph.

However, they were pirated goods.

I can understand that the genuine product is 5 yuan per disc and the pirated product is 3 yuan per disc. Living expenses are limited, so being willing to pay for it is the biggest support. What else do you need?

Another thing is that pirated products are one-to-one copies. Apart from the poor quality, they look almost identical. If you are not in this business, it is basically difficult to tell the difference.

There is still a long way to go to popularize the awareness of genuine products.

However, once there was one, there were two, and more and more people came to him for his autograph.

The Chinese Academy of Drama has no shortage of stars. It can be said that anyone who is still in school has the potential to become a star in the future. However, he is the only one who has become famous while still in school, and who is famous for singing.

Scarcity makes things valuable, and with his attractive face, he naturally attracted more attention.

Anyway, he felt very good.

So cool...

After school in the afternoon, Shen Lingyou took the people from his dormitory and Zeng Xiaolai's dormitory to attend the dinner party scheduled with Chen Jiantian.
