Entertainment: Top players who started out as trainees

Chapter 529 And he will become the only true god in the Chinese music scene!

There is no doubt that Weibo is the largest gathering place for domestic entertainment fan circles and one of the main battlefields for domestic entertainment stars to fight online.

After the decline of Tieba and before the rise of Douyin, this "one of" could even be removed.

The Celebrity Power List, which is an important yardstick for quantifying the commercial value of celebrities nowadays, is one of the most serious battlefields for fan circles to make and manipulate the charts.

Unlike traditional rankings, the Star Power Ranking eliminates the evaluation and review by professionals and is entirely decided by fans.

The original intention of establishing the list was to break the current practice of using the number of fans and interactions alone as the standard for evaluating the influence of celebrities.

This evaluation system is too crude and simple.

In other words, there is too little room for the platform to maneuver.

Weibo needs more monetization channels, stronger voice and influence.

If you master the evaluation criteria, you will naturally have the right to speak.

The Star Power List was originally composed of four items: mentions, interactions, searches, and admiration.

The first three items require celebrities to work harder and interact with fans.

Or you can directly purchase the number of fans, comments, reposts, and likes from specialized ranking companies or platforms to increase the scores of these items.

The fourth item requires fans to buy flowers to increase the star’s admiration value.

Behind every item is a lot of money.

Although Weibo has adjusted the rules several times since then, under the pretext of “eliminating the chaos of fans voting for the rankings,” it has left loopholes for fans to exploit each time, and essentially nothing has changed.

What we eat is the fan economy.

In fact, ever since Ning Luo made his debut, or to be more precise, since the end of the Idol Producer season, he has been firmly occupying the top spot on Weibo's Celebrity Power Ranking.

At the beginning, his opponents were Cai Xukun who rose at the same time, as well as the top stars of the older generation such as the big four and three small, and the four returning sons.

Later, they became the second and third generations of youth and innovation, including Zhu Yilong, Li Xian, Xiao Zhan, Wang Yi Bo, and the new generation of traffic such as Shi Tuan who have recently begun to emerge.

After so many changes, the only ones who have always been by his side are Kun Kun and Yi Yang Qianxi.

He used the former to trap others and to shield them from criticism, but he never killed them.

He had always wanted to kill the latter, but unfortunately he couldn't.

Tsk~
This time, the removal from the Star Power List did make Ning Luo lose an excellent prop for pretending to be cool and getting slapped in the face.

But there is nothing to regret.

Now he and his fans no longer need these charts to support them.

It is more direct and more effective to directly slap someone in the face with actual achievements and works.

As for the purchase limit on the album, Ning Luo didn't feel sorry about it at all, and was even a little happy.

Since the release of his first single "Under the Sea", he has been implementing a purchase limit strategy, from a limit of 100 to a limit of 10 copies.

Even if there had not been this official purchase restriction, he had planned to continue to increase the purchase restriction when he released the next single or EP.

The reason for doing this is, on the one hand, to weaken his attribute of being a "traffic singer".

On the other hand, it is also to suppress fans' desire to consume and rush to the charts without thinking, so as not to consume too much of fans' enthusiasm for chasing stars at one time.

Besides, Ning Luo was not very interested in this kind of one-time deal.

What interests him most is the exclusive copyright fee that is getting more and more generous every year.

This is much more convenient than eating vermicelli and chives~
No hidden dangers yet~
Now the official has a one-size-fits-all approach, which saves much more time and effort than him having to negotiate with the company and the platform.

Moreover, from another perspective, this album purchase restriction is actually a major benefit for Ning Luo.

Before this, in the entire Chinese music scene, he was the only one who foolishly "sealed himself", while everyone else was spending money recklessly and unscrupulously.

We can see this from the historical digital music sales charts.

As of now, Ning Luo’s first official album, "The World", tops the top five sales charts.

The second place is Xiao Zhan's single "Light Spot", with sales of 1.6 million. The third, fourth and fifth places are Ning Luo's two singles, "Your Answer" and "Under the Sea", and his first EP, "Ten Years and a Moment".

These are also the only five records in the domestic entertainment industry with sales exceeding 100 million yuan.

Next is Cai Xukun’s masterpiece “Mystery”, with sales of over 8700 million.

There are still two songs from this album that have not been released yet, and the release date is nowhere in sight.

Sister Aikun is indeed fascinating.

The seventh place is also Kun Kun’s album, with sales of over 7200 million.

Next are Hua Chenyu, Zhang Yixing, Wang Yibo, T9’s Liu Yuxin and others, whose sales are between and million.

Without exception, they are all popular singers!
Moreover, the average number of tickets per person is more than 10!
Moreover, the vast majority of ordinary passers-by have no impression of their works at all!
I don’t even know the song’s title!
At least that's how Ning Luo feels.

Uh. .

Except for Hua Chenyu's song "I Really Want to Love This World".

It can almost be said that the sales of these people are purely pushed up by their fans who rush to the charts!

As for Ning Luo's works, except for his first EP, the average purchase volume of his other singles and regular albums is far lower than that of other popular singers because he has always actively limited purchases.

Even though the album at the top of the list, "The World", has sales of nearly 500 million, the number of people who have purchased this album at home and abroad has also approached 10 million!

In fact, there are only a little more than two tickets per person!

Now that the tide has receded, it is clear who is swimming naked.

When the digital music market bids farewell to the constraints of traffic and returns to the normal logic of works, the "monsters and demons" will surely reveal their true colors.

By then, the gap between him and others will be more obvious than it is now!

And he will become the only true god in the Chinese music scene!

Looking at her boyfriend who was standing beside her with a wandering look and a silly grin, Tian Mei couldn't help but frown. She pulled out her hand with some disgust and waved it in front of his eyes.

"What are you thinking about? Can you please stop smiling so obscenely?"

"Get out of the way, you know nothing!"

Pushing her little white hand away, Ning Luo remembered something and turned to look at the chubby little girl who was holding a bowl of rice noodles and sipping gutter oil happily.

"How much is the current sales of "The World"?"

"4.88!"

Before the chubby girl could reply, Tian Mei next to her answered directly.

As a tough girl, it is a basic quality to always pay attention to the album sales of your idol.

Of course, the main purpose is to make it convenient to go out and brag about yourself and show off your power.

"We still need 1200 million, which is 48 tickets..."

Ning Luo smacked his lips with a little regret: "It seems that we won't be able to break 500 million this year."

"Oh, it doesn't matter if it's just a small matter~"

The chubby girl waved her hands loudly: "Anyway, if we work hard, we can eventually break 500 million. We don't lack this achievement this year."

"Too."

Ning Luo nodded.

Leaving a little surprise for someday in the future is also something that feels very anticipated and ceremonial.

"Okay, now that we've talked about all sorts of things, it's time to talk about happy events~"

Facing the puzzled looks of Ning Luo and Tian Mei, the little fat girl rubbed her hands and cleared her throat.

"We have a new high-end luxury endorsement, and it's a top luxury brand~"
