Huayu: Starting from Fahrenheit

Chapter 119 Joker Xue

Although it is just a preliminary award promotion event.

The lineup is still very good.

In addition to Wu Chao, who is from Hong Kong and Taiwan and has considerable popularity in Southeast Asian Chinese regions and the Mainland.

Other guests today include Jane Zhang, Joker Xue, Shui Mu Nian Hua, Sha Baoliang and other singers who are currently very popular in mainland China.

There are even more second-tier or even less well-known singers.

The process of the performance is that after the event starts, the singers take turns to perform on stage.

Then after the singing session, the organizer will organize a small autographing event, giving fans present the opportunity to ask for autographs and take photos with their idols.

As the only singer from Hong Kong and Taiwan present today, Wu Chao undoubtedly shoulders a heavy burden.

He is the main guest of this event.

Commonly known as the C position singer.

As the main character, his task is naturally heavier.

To a certain extent, the publicity and ticket sales of today's event depend on him.

Why did the organizer invite him to be the main guest?
Isn’t it just the hope to sell more tickets?

And today is the time to test whether he, the new Four Heavenly Kings, has the appeal.

If I say, the ticket sales are going well.

Well, there's no doubt that you should do it.

But if the ticket sales are not good, then sorry, you'd better stay there! There will definitely be a lot of people in the circle who don't like Wu Zhuo and question him.

Of course, the situation is not that serious yet.

After all, there are other popular singers among the guests present today.

Jane Zhang, the third runner-up of Super Girl, is currently one of the most popular female singers in mainland China.

Xue Zhiqian’s self-titled album sold nearly 200,000 copies in just one month and was very popular.

In addition, Shuimu Nianhua became popular in mainland China again last year with "Perfect World".

With so many popular singers supporting the event, it would be hard for this event to fail.

However, relatively speaking, if tickets really cannot be sold or the show is unpopular, Wu Chao, as the main guest, will definitely be the first choice to take the blame.

Just like acting in a movie, you are the leading actor, and from the outside world's perspective, the success of the movie is linked to you.

And this is what the host needs to bear, unconditionally.

……

The event officially started at 1:00 p.m.

Many singers took turns to come on stage to sing their representative works.

Jane Zhang was the first to go on stage and sang her songs "Dream" and "Light".

Then Shuimu Nianhua sang "Perfect World".

Xue Zhiqian sings "Serious Snow"

Sha Baoliang sings "Hidden Fragrance"

Zhang Jie sings "That Summer"...

Wu Zhuo was the last to appear on stage. He sang three songs, "Rice Fragrance", "Nuan Nuan" and "Onion".

These three songs are the ones that were shortlisted for the Chinese Music Chart.

The atmosphere at the scene was very hot.

Because the organizers had promoted the event in advance, thousands of fans showed up today.

These fans were arranged by the organizers according to the fans of different singers.

They held up posters of their idols and shouted their idols' names loudly, making the scene extremely hot.

Among these fan groups, Wu Zhuo and Jane Zhang have the most fans.

The fans of the two together account for almost two-thirds of the fans present today.

“It’s really hard to believe that your album has only been out for a month.”

After the concert, everyone started signing autographs for the fans.

After all, it was not a book signing event, so the singers could not sign for everyone. They just randomly picked dozens of people from their respective fan groups.

So the autograph session ended very quickly. After the autograph session, Xue Zhi came over and exclaimed as soon as he opened his mouth.

After exclaiming, he looked at Wu Zhuo, "Can I ask a rather presumptuous question?"

"You say!" Wu Zhuo was tidying up his clothes that were messed up by fans.

"How many orders did you place for this record?" Xue Zhiqian asked curiously.

The order quantity refers to the shipment quantity.

When a singer's record is released, samples will be sent to major record distributors. After listening to the samples, if they think the record will sell well, they will pay a deposit and order a batch of records.

Then the manufacturers responsible for producing CDs, DVDs and other discs will produce and ship according to the order data.

“There’s nothing to be ashamed of, and it’s not something to be ashamed of.

I just received news this morning that the mainland sales of this record are 70."

"70?" Xue Zhiqian was shocked. He wanted to say something to praise him, but he couldn't find the right words. He could only give a thumbs up and said, "Awesome, awesome, that's amazing."

Wu Zhuo was quite satisfied with the data.

This is just the current shipment volume.

After the records in the channel dealer’s store are sold out, we will definitely continue to purchase more.

A million is just around the corner.

After Wu Chao obtained the copyrights of lyrics, music, and recordings of his songs during negotiations with HIM Records, he signed a new contract with HIM Records.

The general situation is that after the copyright was transferred to Wu Chao, the record income had to be split equally with Huayan during Wu Chao's time at Huayan.

This is also why Huayan is willing to strongly support and work hard on publicity and other work.

70 shipments to the Mainland.

Wu Zhuo roughly calculated it himself.

After deducting the costs, the share of the mainland distributors and other expenses such as mainland publicity expenses are deducted.

Wu Zhuo and Huayanhui will make a profit of about 1000 million.

The money was shared between Wu Zhuo and Huayan in a ratio of 4% for Wu Zhuo and % for Huayan.

All in all, from the sales of 70 units, Wu Chao earned about 400 million RMB.

Compared with Fahrenheit’s previous revenue, this is more than ten times the amount.

Thinking about the huge increase in record revenue, his own increased fame because of the record, and his increased pay for film and television roles in the mainland, Wu Chao couldn't help but feel happy.

Turning to look at Xue Zhiqian, he thought this guy was pretty good, so he took the initiative to invite him:

"After the event is over, how about we find a place to have a drink?"

Hearing this, Xue Zhiqian's eyes lit up, "Sure!"

……

In the afternoon, after the event ended, Wu Chao greeted the organizers, said goodbye to several other singers he had met only once, and then left the scene with his team.

The same is true for Xue Zhiqian.

But he was not alone, but with Zhang Jie.

Zhang Jie and he are from the same record company, and they both debuted on the show My Style My Show, just one season apart...

"Are you really that close to Wu Zhuo? He even treated you to a meal."

After sending the agent away, Xue Zhiqian took Zhang Jie to the parking lot.

On the way, Zhang Jie couldn't help but ask out loud out of confusion in his heart.

"What's so strange about this? Didn't you and I just meet at the company and go out to eat together this afternoon?"

Xue Zhiqian probably understood Zhang Jie's idea and said, "Don't demonize Hong Kong and Taiwan artists, they are all human beings. Although Wu Zhuo is very popular, he is also a newcomer.

Besides, didn't you notice that Wu Zhuo is not very old, he just turned twenty.

At this age..."

"What's wrong at this age?"

Xue Zhiqian was speaking when a voice suddenly interrupted him.

"Uh..." Seeing the person who was speaking, Xue Zhiqian scratched his head awkwardly.

What he actually wanted to say was that this age was the time for innocence.
