China Entertainment’s Born Protagonist

Chapter 336 Japanese Propaganda

Zhang Nanyi was very happy that the album sales were a huge success, but he had no time to celebrate because his promotional schedule in Europe was very intensive.

5月11号、12号在伦敦，13号到14号在珐国八黎，15号得国，16号西班牙，17号荷兰。

For a whole week, I flew around Europe and participated in various activities.

During this promotion, Zhang Nanyi was welcomed by a large number of fans wherever he went.

It shows that he is not only very popular in the United States, but also in Europe. Especially after the album sold out, his popularity is getting higher and higher.

On May 5, Zhang Nanyi ended his promotion in Europa and flew to Japan, the last stop of this promotion.

At 5:20 pm, Zhang Nanyi's plane landed in Japan, and Ishisai Mimotoko and Ishihara Satomi came to pick him up.

After getting into Ishisai Mimotoko's car, Ishihara Rimi explained: "Nanichi-kun, Haruko is filming the TV series "White Night Walk", and she will come to us at night.

She asked me to apologize to you for not being able to pick me up at the airport. "

Zhang Nanyi said: "It's okay. She has already explained it to me on YY. It is said that your Chinese has improved very quickly and you can speak it more fluently now."

In order to communicate better with Zhang Nanyi, both Ishihara Rimi and Ayase Haruka put learning Chinese in a very important position. In addition, they can usually study and communicate with Ishisai Mimotoko, so they can already speak Chinese very well. .

The two also often share some pictures and texts about learning Chinese on their Xiaonei account, so their popularity in China is not low.

However, compared with Zhang Nanyi's Japanese, the two people's Chinese level is relatively poor. Zhang Nanyi can now speak Japanese very proficiently. The main Japanese language is not difficult. With Zhang Nanyi's memory, with a little effort, It doesn't take long to get the hang of it.

Ishisai Mimotoko said: "Nan Yijun, let's go to dinner first, and I booked a high-end love hotel for the evening, with themes such as trams, classrooms, and hospitals.

The hotel also has a large slide pool. "

I have to say that the little Japanese boy is very good at playing, and he even calls it culture.

Ishisai Mimotoko knew Zhang Nanyi well, so she made very thoughtful arrangements. When Ayase Haruka arrived at the hotel at 8:[-] in the evening, everything was just right.

……

The next morning, Zhang Nanyi finished breakfast and came to TV Asahi, served by three beauties.

As soon as Zhang Nan got off the car, he saw TV Asahi Director Masao Wada, Deputy Director Kumao Watanabe, and Director of Overseas Business Department Kazuo Aida and others standing at the door of the TV station to greet him.

There were many reporters standing next to the door of the TV station. In addition to Japanese reporters, there were also reporters from China and reporters from Omi Media.

Except for reporters, both sides of the road were densely packed with fans.

After fans saw Zhang Nanyi, they immediately cheered and roared.

They held various signs, such as "The most handsome in the world", "The most powerful in the world", etc., very middle-class style.

Some directly held up the sign of "The World's No. [-] Singer" and excitedly supported Zhang Nanyi, which sounded like a crazy fan.

Seeing Zhang Nanyi get out of the car, Wada Masao immediately stepped forward and bowed. Zhang Nanyi didn't like Japan's bow, so he shook hands indifferently.

This scene is very much like a big leader coming to inspect the work of a TV station.

In particular, Zhang Nanyi is tall and powerful, while Wada Masao is short and thin, and the contrast in momentum is very obvious.

Seeing this comparison, the reporters took pictures, and the fans were very satisfied. Their idol completely defeated the TV station director. They seemed to have won, and the cheers became even more enthusiastic.

Today's scene was thought up by TV Asahi and is called "The First Anniversary of the Broadcast of Sword and Fairy and Zhang Nanyi Fan Meeting".

On the one hand, he helped Zhang Nanyi promote the new album, and on the other hand, he also promoted TV Asahi to attract more young people to pay attention to TV Asahi.

Everyone exchanged pleasantries and went to the largest studio in Taiwan.

This studio can accommodate more than 800 viewers. As soon as Zhang Nanyi walked in, he saw a line of text scrolling on the big screen of the studio.

"Warm congratulations to Zhang Nanyi whose album sales exceeded 1100 million in the first week!"

This line of characters is preceded by Chinese characters and followed by Japanese characters, which is very careful. Moreover, this sales data was also compiled urgently by Warner Music this morning.

It's just a big number, and the specific figures haven't been released yet.

So the scrolling text was also made temporarily.

No matter what, Zhang Nanyi's first English album created a sales myth, with 247 million copies on the first day and 1100 million copies worldwide in the first week.

Even Adele would probably not be able to beat this sales volume.

Adele's third album "25" sold 338 million copies in the United States in the first week, and global sales were close to 600 million copies. The follow-up performance was also very strong. In just over a month, the album sales reached 1340 million copies.

This data is already cheating, but to surpass Zhang Nanyi's "We Are Young", it is estimated that in the era of traffic, those brothers will brush up the data on digital music albums.

With the blessing of traffic power, their albums can sell over [-] million copies every minute.

When Zhang Nanyi saw the text scrolling on the screen, his thinking was a little divergent. He couldn't help but think of Kun Kun's digital music album "Young" released in 2019. It only took 1 minute and 21 seconds to sell more than [-] million copies.

Compared with Kunkun, I still have to work hard. It took me a week to achieve sales of over [-] million...

"Nan Yijun, stage director, please take a seat first!" After hearing Mi Motoko Ishizai's words, Zhang Nanyi came back to his senses and sat in the middle of the long table on the stage.

After all the guests present were seated, the host stepped onto the stage and began to join the audience.

There was nothing new in this event. It was similar to a more formal press conference in China. First, Masao Wada went up to speak, and then presented a special contribution award to Zhang Nanyi.

Zhang Nanyi sang two songs live, and then selected lucky fans to take photos on stage.

In the afternoon and evening, two more programs were recorded at TV Asahi. Zhang Nanyi really took good care of TV Asahi during his schedule. He only stayed in Japan for two days. Today he recorded a TV program, and tomorrow is an outdoor activity.

Fly back to Yanjing early the day after tomorrow.

As of today, all the programs that Zhang Nanyi has participated in in Japan are from TV Asahi. With Zhang Nanyi's current popularity and status, just today's activities can bring a lot of attention to TV Asahi.

Zhang Nanyi chose TV Asahi, on the one hand, he had a good foundation for cooperation with Asahi before, and on the other hand, it was also because of Mi Motoko Ishisai.

When Wada Masao invited Zhang Nanyi to dinner at noon, Zhang Nanyi directly hinted at his close relationship with Ishisai Mimotoko.

Masao Wada said on the spot that the TV production department still lacked a director.

Mimoko Ishisai's promotion is a sure thing.

After spending a day at TV Asahi, Zhang Nanyi came to the Tokyo International Exhibition Center the next morning.

Two events will be held here today, a book signing in the morning and a fan meeting in the afternoon.

When he arrived at the exhibition center, Zhang Nanyi saw a long line of people queuing up from the car, and it was as far as the eye could see.

Fans held various signs in their hands. In addition to Zhang Nanyi's name and photo, the one with the most signs today was a number.

1139!

After final statistics, Warner Music held a press conference yesterday afternoon and announced the first-week sales of Zhang Nanyi's new album "We Are Young", which was 1139 million!
Warner moved very quickly, with first-week sales of 1139 million, a figure certified by the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI).

In addition to certification, the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry also gave a review.

""We Are Young" has achieved a sales miracle in the record industry, raising the first-day and first-week sales records of a single record to a level that is difficult for latecomers to reach! It is foreseeable that the first-month sales record will also be its.

The success of "We Are Young" has given the increasingly depressed global record industry a shot in the arm. "

The sales data this time were certified by the association, so naturally not many people questioned it. Faced with such incredible sales, major media in the world mainly praised it.

For a time, Zhang Nanyi became the hottest singer in the world's music scene. As a fan of Zhang Nanyi, I am naturally very proud of the first-week sales of 1139 million.

It is normal for many fans to hold this sign at the scene.

Zhang Nanyi was still very dedicated in today's event. Whether it was autograph signings or fan clubs, he worked very hard in business.

After all, Japan is the second largest record market in the world at this time. Zhang Nanyi’s sales volume in the first week was 1139 million. The United States contributed 321 million, Japan contributed 286 million, Europe contributed 209 million, and China contributed 172 million. These four Region is the main sales force.

In fact, it stands to reason that Zhang Nanyi should have been promoting in Japan for a few more days, or at least go to other cities besides Tokyo.

However, both Zhang Nanyi and Warner felt that his popularity in Japan was high enough, so they allocated promotional time to the United States and Europa, which were previously relatively weak.

In Japan, the time for publicity is indeed short.

At 7 o'clock in the evening, Zhang Nanyi finished his work at the fan club. After taking off his makeup, he breathed a sigh of relief.

The end of today's work also marks the end of all the album promotion work during this period.

For about twenty days, he flew around the world, made intensive publicity schedules, and dealt with several other things. If Zhang Nanyi hadn't been in good health, most people would have collapsed from exhaustion.

Noticing Zhang Nanyi's expression, Ishizai Mimotoko immediately stepped forward, put Zhang Nanyi's head against her chest, and massaged Zhang Nanyi rhythmically with her hands.

"Nan Yijun, you have worked hard during this period. Let's go to a hot spring tonight. I have also learned a lot about your massage skills. We will give you a good massage tonight."

Zhang Nanyi shook his head: "I'm going to visit Sakai Quanshui in the evening. She was just discharged from the hospital today."

Hearing Zhang Nanyi's words, Mi Motoko Ishisai and Haruka Ayase and Satomi Ishihara next to her were very disappointed. They were looking forward to being with Zhang Nanyi tonight.

Seeing the expressions of the three of them, Zhang Nanyi said: "The Legend of the Condor Heroes will be edited next month, and TV Asahi will definitely buy the film by then. Mi Motoko, you can serve as a representative to China to negotiate for the purchase of the film.

Rimi and Naiyao can also shoot more videos on Daju.com and YouTube to introduce daily life, Japanese food, etc., and I will guide you appropriately.

If this business is done well, it can bring you very high income. "

The income of Japanese artists is not high, and the income of top stars is only about 2017 million per year. Zhang Nanyi remembers seeing a piece of news, the [-] income ranking of Japanese female artists.

Ishihara Satomi ranks 4th, with an annual income of about 2000 million before tax. Ayase Haruka has a better reputation and popularity in Japan than Ishihara Satomi. She is a national goddess and is liked by men, women, old and young, so she ranks first, at 3000 million. about.

This is the level that will be reached more than ten years later. After paying the tax and being divided by the team, what will be in the hands of individuals is really not very much.

Compared with the 208 million in domestic entertainment, they are really considered a "low-income group".
