Unscientific Movie King

Chapter 152 Release an album and surpass Jie Lun
Qin Chuan won first place with an overwhelming number of votes. When he received the trophy, fireworks exploded above the convention and exhibition center to celebrate for him.

That night, countless people cheered.

As soon as the competition ended, Qin Chuan's blog gained a new batch of fans.

Relying on Qinchuan's traffic, the platform did not hesitate to acquire several blogs and gradually expanded its business.

Qin Chuan’s blog mailbox is about to explode, and countless people come to check in under the first and most recent blog posts.

Ten minutes after the Happy Boys competition ended, the blog server crashed.

International Exhibition Center.

Underground Parking Lot.

Sitting in the business car, Qin Chuan didn't dare to move at all. According to the latest information from the security guard, there were fans everywhere outside and he couldn't get out.

But continuing to wait is not a solution.

Suddenly, Wang Tingting's eyes swept to the electric bike in the corner.

Five minutes later, an electric car came out of the employee passage. The two people in the car were wearing half helmets and masks, so their faces could not be seen clearly.

Just from her long hair and figure, I could tell that the person driving was a woman.

The man sitting in the back was wearing a security uniform.

"Excuse me, please make way. I'm off work now."

"Thank you everyone for your cooperation."

"If you want to see Qin Chuan, keep waiting. Don't bother me."

Carrying Qin Chuan, Wang Tingting fought her way out of the square and sprinted onto the sidewalk to avoid the congested road.

"Hey, I'm smart, right?"

"Not bad." Qin Chuan moved his butt and body backwards.

Wang Tingting tapped the brakes lightly and he slid down again.

"Oh, Boss, Sister Jinlian called and asked you to call her back after the game. She has something urgent to tell you."

"Where's the cell phone?"

"It's in my pocket, you can take it yourself."

"Don't touch my thigh. It's not in my trouser pocket. It's in the inner pocket of my down jacket. Unzip it and feel for it. Take it."

Qin Chuan's face turned black, and the armbar was already around her neck.

Wang Tingting said embarrassedly: "Wait a minute, wait a minute, I'll stop the car on the side of the road and give it to you. Really, you can't even take a joke."

Wang Tingting unzipped her down jacket, reached into her inner pocket and handed the phone to Qin Chuan.

"It's warm, not cold at all. Use it while it's hot."

Qin Chuan patted Wang Tingting's shoulder and said, "Go!"

The electric bike started, and Qin Chuan sat in the back seat and called Jin Lian: "Sister Jin, what's the emergency?"

At home, Jinlian answered immediately and said with a smile: "Good news, Mr. Cai invited you to dinner, probably to discuss work, I think I have to let you out."

"When the time comes, don't be too harsh in your tone. Be a little softer. Mr. Cai will take advantage of the situation and the matter will be over."

Others may think that Qin Chuan will focus on the music route, but Jin Lian knows that this is just a delaying tactic and Qin Chuan's main occupation should still be an actor.

Since he still wants to be an actor, he can't avoid the remaining three years of his contract with Tangren.

It would be good for everyone if both sides could put aside their past grievances.

"Eating is no problem, the main thing is that I don't have time for the moment." The electric car went up the bridge. The wind was strong in the face, so Qin Chuan hid his head behind Wang Tingting.

He will be very busy with work in the future. If nothing goes wrong, he will be on Happy Camp, prepare for the New Year's Eve concert, and have several music evenings.

From what Long Danni said, the first album is not far away.

"When is the time?"

"I'll see after New Year's Eve, and try to squeeze in some time to meet with Mr. Cai."

Jinlian: “…”

This was the first time that the president of a company had to make an appointment several months in advance if he wanted to meet one of its artists. Qin Chuan was the first one to do so.

But he does have the capital now.

Can’t resist its high popularity.

"Sister Jin, that's it. President Long called me. Let's talk later."

After hanging up Jinlian's call, Qin Chuan answered Long Danni's call: "Hello, Sister Long, I'm out now. I took an electric car. I'm fine. The driver's skills are pretty stable."

"Okay, I'll text you back when I get to the hotel safely. Party? Forget about it tonight. I'm a little tired."

Long Danni asked Qin Chuan to attend the celebration banquet in the evening, but he refused. If he went there at this time, it would not be over until at least after 12 o'clock, and he would reek of alcohol, so there was no need to do that.

Hide if you can.

The next day, it started at nine in the morning and lasted until nine in the evening.

Qin Chuan was interviewed throughout the day.

He can no longer remember how many media outlets he has been interviewed by; there have been too many.

The day after the Super Boy competition ended, five or six magazines came to me.

It's all about the cover.

On the third day after the Super Boy competition, he went on Happy Camp and was interviewed by CCTV Music Channel.

One week after the Super Boy competition ended, the group rehearsed for the New Year’s Eve concert on Shonan TV, singing four songs in a row: Chengdu, Chi Ling, Blue and White Porcelain, and Xiaochou.

One person sang four songs. Those who knew it was the Shonan TV New Year's Eve concert, while those who didn't thought it was Qin Chuan's solo concert.

After the rehearsal, under the arrangement of Tianyu Media, Qin Chuan immediately re-recorded the single he had released previously.

A top-notch music team was also hired for the soundtrack.

Spend a huge amount of money to hire a dance partner, shoot a MV, and do post-production...

On December 2005th, the last day of , Qin Chuan's four songs dominated the stage at the Xiangnan Satellite TV New Year's Eve concert.

Then he announced on stage that his first album would be released soon.

After the New Year’s Eve concert, Qin Chuan was invited to dinner by Long Danni.

It’s still the same private vegetable garden as before.

Qin Chuan hadn't eaten since the afternoon and was very hungry. He didn't hesitate and started eating.

While he was eating, Long Danni said, "Next we have to prepare for the album promotion. We also have to go to Happy Camp."

"I have arranged a few interviews with big names for you. When you go to talk, talk more about the album."

"We have already said hello and agreed on cooperation with other online and offline channels. We are just waiting for you to release your album."

"We expect to sell at least one million copies." Long Danni said seriously, "The publicity costs and various investments this time are huge. We can only get our investment back if the album sells one million copies. After that, we will make a profit."

"Qin Chuan, we will succeed, right?"

The guaranteed sales of one million copies is a considerable pressure not only for newcomers releasing an album for the first time, but also for some veteran singers.

Why is Jay Chou so awesome? Because he created a myth last year. His album "Seven Years" sold three million copies and became the sales champion in Asia.

If Qin Chuan can sell for one million this time, the company will not lose money. Next, the company will continue to build momentum for him and continue to support him until it can no longer support him.

If the first shot is silent, there will definitely be a lot of doubts later. "How would I know that?" Qin Chuan put a piece of braised pork in his mouth and said calmly: "I am only responsible for singing, I can't control how many tickets can be sold."

Long Danni was almost angry to death: "The company has invested too much. Regardless of how much money you make, you must at least make back the money you put in."

"Even if the album sales are good, you can get more money, right? For every million albums sold, you will pocket at least four million."

"Snapped!"

Qin Chuan slammed his chopsticks on the table and said solemnly, "Sister Long, the company's business is my business. Don't worry, I will earn at least two million even if I risk my life."

He doesn't think much of an ordinary 1.8 million, but if it is worth tens of millions, that would be a different story.

"Okay, okay." Long Danni was happy. As expected, young people still needed to be motivated with money.

"Then I'll trouble you to work harder for the next period of time. After the promotion, sign 10,000 autographed copies of the album, and then hold book signings in various cities."

Qin Chuan calculated secretly, there are 10,000 autographs, and his name is two characters, which is 20,000 characters, which is not a lot.

If you write faster, you can finish it in half a day.

……

After New Year's Eve, Qin Chuan began to prepare for the album, and countless fans were eagerly waiting for Qin Chuan's first album.

Tianyu Media has done a lot of publicity, and now you can see Qin Chuan’s album advertisement when you open your computer.

Some of the square's LED screens also have his personal portrait.

During this period, Qin Chuan's popularity remained high and he was extremely famous.

On January 15th, Qin Chuan updated his blog.

"My first album will go on sale at 8am tomorrow. It includes all the songs I've released since my debut, a total of twelve songs. I hope everyone likes it."

"In addition, the first 10,000 fans who purchase the album will receive a collector's edition signed by me. Don't worry if you didn't get the signed version. I will start a nationwide book signing event next week. As long as you purchased the album through legitimate channels, you can ask me to sign it."

After so many days since the Super Boy finals, fans finally waited for his album to be released.

Although everyone has heard Qin Chuan's songs on the Internet to some extent, the significance of the walkman and the album is still different.

Especially the last four songs, Qin Chuan did not upload them online, so everyone had to buy the album to listen to them.

One set after another, they were eating them to death.

"Fuck, you're still charging for a song you've already released? Do you have any shame?"

"I also think it's inappropriate. It was free to listen to before, why is it charged now? I won't listen to it if it's charged."

"I think it's fine to just charge for the latest few songs, but there's no need to charge for the ones released before."

"Damn, you guys are really used to eating for free. Singers also need to make money to support their families, and they also need to eat. Do you have any shame to say it's free?"

"We've been using Qin Chuan for free for so many years, we owe him an album, we should buy it."

"I like blue and white porcelain. I want to buy it. I also want to buy a box to give to my friends. Those who don't want to buy it don't have to buy it. This is a good opportunity for me to buy more."

"What the hell, what are you arguing about? If you know, an album costs a few dozen dollars. If you don't know, you might think it's a threat to your life."

"To be honest, aren't these twelve songs by Qin Chuan worth dozens of dollars?"

The freeloaders are unwilling to spend money, but Qin Chuan does not force them, and these are not his target customers.

The next day, long queues formed at the doors of major audio stores across the country before eight o'clock, all of them were people buying albums.

As soon as the boss's rolling door opened, hundreds of people rushed in.

The albums on the shelves were sold out, and in less than ten minutes, more than a dozen boxes of albums were sold out.

In other stores, some were even more ruthless. The first person who rushed in said he wanted to buy all the albums, no matter how many there were.

This kind of person is a middleman who takes the goods back and buys them at a higher price.

As soon as he finished speaking, he was beaten up by the people in the queue. These fans were not to be tolerated at all.

One week after the album was released, total sales reached 1.2 million, 200,000 more than the guaranteed sales volume that Long Danni had promised.

Qin Chuan got his first four million.

Without stopping, he continued to fight for the next four million.

The national book signing event has begun.

The first stop is Beijing, after all, it is a big city.

To avoid traffic jams, Tianyu found him a gymnasium and asked him to do the autograph work.

On the first day, tens of thousands of people came to the event with albums in their hands.

Looking at the endless team, Qin Chuan's mouth opened wider and wider.

The signing started in the morning and didn't finish until 10 o'clock in the evening, and there was still no end of the line in sight.

The next day, Qin Chuan started signing an hour earlier and signed until ten o'clock in the evening, but there were still a lot of people.

After signing for a week, Qin Chuan wrapped his right wrist with a towel.

I handwrite more than 30,000 words every day, which is more than 200,000 words a week. Even the big names in online writing are not as ruthless as me.

He was a bit overwhelmed.

On the eighth day, we moved to the next city and started practicing signing with my left hand.

Fortunately, it was an artistic signature, and I just drew it on my hand and it was over.

Chengdu, Xi'an, Hangzhou, Guangdong... In one month, Qin Chuan traveled across half of the country.

With the support of the signing event, the album sales also increased rapidly.

Qin Chuan is currently only visiting first-tier cities and has not yet visited second-tier cities for signings. If he continues to go there, he should be able to gain something.

But he couldn't run anymore.

Even if one practices martial arts regularly and has good physical fitness, one cannot withstand writing tens of thousands of words by hand every day.

It’s now difficult to hold chopsticks or a bowl with both hands, and I have given up all the traditional crafts.

That day, when Long Danni visited the set, she happened to see Qin Chuan eating lunch in the RV.

He sat still while Wang Tingting held the bowl and fed him spoonful by spoonful.

Glancing at Long Danni, Qin Chuan said in a tired tone, "Don't urge me anymore. If you urge me any more, I won't sign. If I sign again, I'll lose my life."

Long Danni took the bowl and spoon from Wang Tingting. As the CEO of Tianyu Media, she bent down to feed Qin Chuan herself.

"Sister Long, I'm a little flattered by this."

"Don't be surprised, stay calm." Long Danni blew on the slightly hot food with her small mouth, and then slowly put it into Qin Chuan's mouth: "This is what you deserve. Do you know how many copies of the album have been sold now?"

Qin Chuan shook his head. He was busy signing autographs every day until his hands cramped. He would fall asleep as soon as he lay down in the hotel. He hadn't paid attention to the sales data for a long time.

"Four million. Eight hundred thousand." Long Danni smiled amiably, "Do you know what this means? Last year, Jay Chou set an Asian record of three million in a month. You have a full one million. Eight hundred thousand more than him."

"You have surpassed Jay Chou!"

In one month, 4.8 million albums broke Jay Chou's sales myth. Now, Qin Chuan is standing shoulder to shoulder with Jay Chou with real money and strength, and even surpassing him.

"Fuck!" Qin Chuan cursed: "Help me up, I can still sign."

Four million, eight hundred thousand, almost five million.

For every million albums sold he made four million, five million, twenty million.

He debuted in 2002, and after more than four years, Qin finally has a net worth of tens of millions.
