China Entertainment’s Born Protagonist

Chapter 335 Album sales hit record
While Jing Tian was eating, she took out her mobile phone to browse the news. Although the internet speed was not very fast, she was reading it with gusto.

This is Jing Tian's habit. He reads some news and comments that praise Zhang Nanyi for dinner.

If you're in a good mood, you can eat more.

But after a while, Jing Tian's face turned ugly and she put down her chopsticks while eating.

Because Xinlang.com published a report titled "The scam created by information barriers reveals the true experience of Zhang Nanyi in the United States."

In the article, there is a long paragraph first, which introduces the release of Zhang Nanyi's new album, the long queues in major bookstores in the country, and the booming sales.

Then the specific reason for this phenomenon was analyzed, which was Zhang Nanyi’s marketing routine.

Zhang Nanyi deliberately created the illusion that he was popular abroad to deceive domestic fans and sell more albums.

The article also cited several examples. First, the first talk show Zhang Nanyi participated in in the United States, an exclusive interview on CBS TV, had very poor ratings.

This shows that Zhang Nanyi is not popular in the United States at all. Later, he was contacted about the cancellation of two programs on Zhang Nanyi's last day in the United States.

The cancellation of these two programs was because Warner wanted to focus its publicity on scandals and took the initiative to cancel them.

The report said: "Zhang Nanyi participated in an interview on the TV station with the highest ratings in the United States. The ratings were extremely poor, which led to a lack of confidence in other programs. Two program producers would rather pay liquidated damages than refuse Zhang Nanyi's participation in the program. .”

The article also attached the ratings of the CBS talk show, as well as pictures of announcements made by two other programs due to Zhang Nanyi's schedule changes.

The evidence seems very sufficient.

The second example is that Zhang Nanyi received a cold reception when he participated in the Ellen Show. Ellen did not meet him in advance. The enthusiastic conversations on the show were all for the show's effect.The third fact is that Zhang Nanyi's reputation abroad is very poor. The article screenshots several remarks that satirize Zhang Nanyi for being a soft-cooked person and being kept as a support.

"In fact, Zhang Nanyi is not only unpopular in the United States, but also has a very bad reputation.

In the eyes of Americans, he is just a clown who was played by American ladies.

It is a pity that the domestic audience was fooled and deceived by his use of information barriers and went crazy to buy Zhang Nanyi's album.

No matter what, Zhang Nanyi's goal was achieved, and his album was indeed a big seller in China.However, I dare not estimate the sales volume abroad, for fear of hurting the fragile and pitiful self-esteem of some Chinese people. "

This article looks like it was written by an expert at first glance. It disrupted the timeline of real events and pieced them together to reach a conclusion that is completely opposite to reality.

People who don’t know the truth will believe this false conclusion after seeing it.

After all, as mentioned in the article, whether it was the low ratings of the CBS TV interview, Allen's failure to arrive in advance, or the fact that many people in the United States had criticized Zhang Nanyi.

These are all facts and have sufficient evidence.

Xinlang.com is a thief. They deliberately left a sentence at the end of this article: "This article is a reprint, and all opinions have nothing to do with this site."

It didn’t take long for this article to cause quite a stir on the Internet.

There is always a market for conspiracy theories, not to mention that Zhang Nanyi also has many opponents.

Various criticisms of Zhang Nanyi began to appear.

"I live in the United States. This article is right. Zhang Nanyi has indeed been ridiculed and criticized in the United States. Americans like tough guys and don't like pretty boys who are being kept."

"Zhang Nan is a rich man, but he still needs to be taken care of?"

"People in the United States don't know that Zhang Nanyi is a rich man. Everyone thinks that he is a softie, so his reputation in the United States is very bad."

"How can a Chinese be popular in mainstream European and American society? Everyone, please wake up and don't be deceived."

"Fortunately, I'm sensible and didn't buy Zhang Nanyi's album. This is a marketing scam."

……

Jing Tian saw these words and wanted to make a rebuttal, but was stopped by Shu Chang: "It's okay, after the sales data of Brother Nan Yi's album in the United States are released, these remarks will naturally be self-defeating.

Brother Nan Yi said that we will not be allowed to comment on his affairs on the Internet. "

Jing Tian also thought of Zhang Nanyi's advice, nodded, put down her phone, calmed down, and concentrated on eating.

In the company, Liu Xiaoli and Yao Qian both noticed this public opinion, and they made the same choice as Shu Chang, ignoring it.

As a result, this trend of comments became popular on the Internet. Although Zhang Nanyi's fans argued in various ways, the more they argued, the more lively they became.

The topic of "Zhang Nanyi deceived Chinese people" suddenly became a hot topic on the domestic Internet.

Especially after a few Gongzhi came forward to take the lead, the situation became increasingly unfavorable for Zhang Nanyi.

Each and every one of these profilers had the experience of studying in the United States.

They spoke categorically, saying that based on feedback from their friends in the United States, Zhang Nanyi was simply not popular in the United States, and that previous boasts in the country were all marketing tricks.

Many people who don't know the truth can't help but believe it when they see these friends who know nothing about the United States.

So much so that there was a concerted effort to criticize Zhang Nanyi on the Internet.

Just looking at it online, Zhang Nanyi seems to be about to collapse.

This situation made the big and small kings of Huayi, some organizations, and Wu Kebo of All Day Entertainment feel very comfortable and felt that Zhang Nanyi would have to shed his skin this time.

As a result, the next morning, there were still long queues at major bookstores in the country.

In real life, everyone buys Zhang Nanyi’s album photos without mistake.

The online comments made yesterday afternoon and evening seemed to be false.

Seeing this situation, many fans of Zhang Nanyi began to make fun of him.

"Zhang Nanyi is indeed a big liar. Don't buy his album. Let me handle this kind of deception!"

"That's right, Zhang Nanyi will do anything to sell his album. Don't be fooled, and don't go to the bookstore. I waited in line for another three hours today, but it was out of stock!"

"Who is so stupid to buy Zhang Nanyi's album? Wake up, everyone, you can't buy it at all. This is a scam!"

Soon, the topic of "Zhang Nanyi's new scam" overshadowed yesterday's negative news.

After seeing the ridicule from netizens, those who were very proud yesterday were all very angry today.

At the beginning, there were still some negative comments that were resisting, but they soon died down.

Because YangTV's special report on Zhang Nanyi's album was broadcast again, this time it was broadcast in the Chaowen Tianxia column.

This program specifically reports on the sales of Zhang Nanyi's albums around the world.

In big cities such as Los Angeles, New York, and Chicago, there are long queues at record stores selling Zhang Nanyi's albums; in London and Paris, there are also a lot of people, especially when Zhang Nanyi holds an autograph signing ceremony in London. During the sales meeting, the crowd was so crowded that the London authorities dispatched police to maintain order.

In Japan, it was even more exaggerated. Zhang Nanyi's fans not only lined up to buy records, but also held signs and banners on the spot, turning record buying into a fan gathering.

Yangshi has an official account on Daju.com, and the video of this report was also posted on Daju.com.The comments below instantly went viral.

"This is what some people are saying. Everyone in the United States is shouting about Zhang Nanyi? These people who buy albums must be fake people and robots!"

"Yes, they are robots. A reporter from Yangshi interviewed them and asked if they came here to buy Zhang Nanyi's album. These people only said "yes", and they were definitely identified as robots!"

"Zhang Nanyi is really popular abroad. In this scene, I thought it was Michael Jackson coming."

"I have flagged the few insiders who said Zhang Nanyi was a liar yesterday. The elements of these people are very problematic."

"I don't care about foreign affairs. I just want to ask if anyone wants to transfer the album. I didn't buy it!"

"Brother, you can buy it online at Dangdang. Although the delivery is a little slow, you can still buy it."

……

As soon as the Yangshi report came out, the previous so-called deceptive remarks basically lost their market.

And when Zhang Nanyi's album sales came out, these Xiaoxiao all disappeared one by one.

According to statistics from the American Billboard, Zhang Nanyi's album "We Are Young" sold 67 in the United States on its first day, setting a single-day sales record for American records.

The sales volume of his records in one day is equivalent to that of many singers in a year or even a lifetime.

Warner Music also announced data. Zhang Nanyi's new album "We Are Young" had first-day sales of 67 in the United States, 64 in Japan, 45 in Europe, 41 in China, and Korea...

The cumulative global sales on the first day totaled 247 million!
In one day, the cumulative sales volume was so terrifying. After this data was released, the whole world was in an uproar!

Selling 247 million a day, wouldn’t the sales in a week exceed [-] million!
You know, in the world's record industry, sales exceeding one million in a week are something only top singers can do.

Zhang Nanyi not only did it in one day, but also exceeded [-] million in a week. This is incredible.

Many people began to question the data released by Warner Music. Many people believed that the data was false and was fabricated by Warner Music for the sake of hype.

To this end, Warner Music was very happy to hold a press conference.

At the press conference, Stephen, as a representative, solemnly announced that the album sales of "We Are Young" are completely true. If there is any fraud, he and Warner are willing to bear legal responsibility.

In foreign countries, being willing to take legal responsibility is a very formal and serious statement, so as soon as Stephen said this, the reporters who came to the press conference became serious.

Stephen said: "Think about it, everyone, according to the statistics provided by Billboard, "We Are Young" sold 67 copies on its first day in the United States. Billboard is completely neutral and will not lie.

According to the first-day sales data, it is very likely that "We Are Young" will exceed 300 million sales in the first week in the United States. With this data, it is already the first in history, which is eye-catching enough.

There is no need for us to go to extra trouble and make up false data for propaganda. "

Steve then explained why Zhang Nanyi’s album sales are so high.

First of all, Zhang Nanyi is the first singer to truly connect the East and the West. Steve gave an example, saying that Zhang Nanyi is equivalent to a combination of Britney Spears, Ayumi Hamasaki and Jacky Cheung. In the English record market, Both the Japanese market and the Chinese market have strong appeal.

The global record market is all-consuming, which has created the super figure of 247 million sales a day.

Secondly, Warner Music is awesome.

After Steve praised Zhang Nanyi, he entered the real theme of the press conference and began to brag about Warner's capabilities, its strong channels, good marketing strategies, and its boldness in preparing sufficient supplies, which made this world record history Sales volume is miraculous.

Warner Music achieved huge sales thanks to Zhang Nanyi's English album, and gained a lot. The originally turbulent situation immediately stabilized.

Not only did he make a lot of money in record revenue, but his reputation in the record industry skyrocketed, and many singers began to consider joining Warner Music.

Everyone wants to be the next Zhang Nanyi.

According to the law of record sales, the sales volume of a new album is the strongest on the first day, and the sales volume on the second day will generally drop a lot compared to the first day.

However, sales of Zhang Nanyi's "We Are Young" still reached 221 million on the second day, a very small decrease.

After this data came out, it once again shocked the world. This time no one questioned Warner's data fraud.

Because of this data, Warner Music Album feels that it is unreal, and marketing fabricated data, they dare not come up with it.

Major foreign mainstream media also followed the market and began to report positively.

BBC: "A new king of the world has been born, and he is setting off a star-chasing craze in London!"

CBS: "The Eastern King from China is ready to accept worship from all over the world!"

Fox News: “Behind the miraculous sales is the power of globalization.”

American Billboard: ""We Are Young" has a score of 9.8, which is close to a perfect score. We must remind everyone that this is a nearly perfect album."

Zhang Nanyi’s album sales did not drop much on the second day, mainly for two reasons:
One is the explosive sales data on the first day, which brought great exposure to this album.

Everyone will be curious as to why the album We Are Young is so powerful and sells so well.

People have a herd mentality, and when buying something, you have to grab it to get it. Zhang Nanyi's album is not easy to buy, and you have to queue up to grab it. On the contrary, everyone does not hesitate when buying it, as if they will make a profit if they grab it.

Another more important reason is that Billboard said that the album "We Are Young" has a very good reputation and is close to perfect.

Those who bought the album on the first day were extremely satisfied with the album after listening to all the songs on the album.

In addition to the five songs previously exposed, "I just wanna run", "Here With You", "What are words", "Be What You Wanna Be", "Free Loop", "Your Bones", "Flower" Dance", "Revolution", "Counting Stars", "Hall Of Fame", every song is very nice and they are all popular hits.

Online reviews of Zhang Nanyi's album are overwhelmingly positive.

"If I were Zhang, I could make at least 5 highly rated albums with these songs, but he put these good songs in one album. I can only say that "We Are Young" deserves such high sales .”

"Great album, great album, achieved incredible sales! When will the collector's edition of this album be released?"

"Free Loop is so good, I want to loop the single 100 times! But Here With You is also great, and What are words, oh, Zhang is a bad guy, so I have trouble choosing."

"If you don't buy an album like this, you will regret it for the rest of your life!"

"Zhang's album is either a positive and inspirational song and dance, or a fresh and beautiful love, showing the sunny side of young people. Thanks to this album, it gives me unlimited energy."

……

All kinds of good reviews keep coming.

People who bought the album began to spontaneously share the album with those around them, and more and more people began to consider buying Zhang Nanyi's album.

An album's initial sales depend on marketing and popularity, and subsequent sales depend on word-of-mouth.

There is no doubt that the good reputation of "We Are Young" ensures that the album's subsequent sales will remain strong and will not fall to the bottom.
