Super entertainment red envelope

Chapter 809 Sales data hits the face!
In just one week, the 500 million albums were sold out, which shocked Hua Na, stunned Dongfang Entertainment, and shocked the entire American music circle.

On the Internet, there are still many netizens who can't get the album, venting their dissatisfaction on a large scale.

"Sold out in just a week?"

"I can't grab it!"

"Oh! How many years has it been? The last time someone sold 500 million albums was in 2003!"

"Yeah! But since 2003, the Internet has become popular, digital music has been released, physical albums have no way out, and many factories have closed down."

"There are only five record printing factories still in operation in the United States!"

"Oh my God, what an era we have lived through in this way, terrible! Amazing!"

"Isn't it? There are 500 million copies, and I can't get one?"

"If you don't book before the sale, you won't be able to grab it at all."

"This album is harder to buy than a movie ticket for Zootopia."

"500 million! 20 years ago, this achievement was not dazzling, and 30 years ago, this achievement was mediocre. However, today, this is the sum of albums sold by all American singers in one year! "

"Last month, the Bats released a new album, didn't they only sell 11 copies? They are now the most popular band in the United States."

"Taylor Lisa's new album sold 120 million copies a year, and she even held a celebration party to declare the queen of the first song. In front of Li Zhifan, it's really not worth mentioning!"

"Now, do you still have a CD player at home?"

"Yes! But I usually use my mobile phone to connect to the stereo, and the CD player is all dusty."

"..."

The hot discussion among netizens forced Hua Na to give up the original copy, rushed out a new copy overnight, and quickly published it on Irs.

"What? Sold out all 500 million copies? Unbelievable! Even many of our employees didn't get it. I thought it would take three to five years to sell out the first batch of printed albums! Everyone wait, don't worry , we have already contacted the manufacturer to expedite the production of the second batch, this time it is 1000 million copies, we bet! Will you follow?"

——This kind of copywriting seems to be a conversation with a netizen.

Compared with the original copywriting, which was full of praise and praise, the new copywriting was more sincere.

Netizens also replied below:

"with!"

"Definitely buy it!"

"Wait for you to leave!"

"Don't say 1000 million, even 2000 million, we want it too!"

"Hey, I grabbed one earlier, and I plan to grab another one, and keep it as a collection without opening it."

"..."

Hua Na boasted that the second batch would produce 1000 million copies, but this was a worry for the printing factory, because their equipment and staff were extremely limited.

With fewer and fewer orders for physical albums, the printing factory is also constantly shrinking this part of the business, but I didn't expect that after ten years of shrinkage, such a large order suddenly came, and I couldn't bear it at all.

But the businessman's head will never be overwhelmed by the difficulties in front of him.

Since I can't produce so much by myself, I can find an OEM!

Although there are only five printing factories left in the United States, there are also many printing factories in the third world countries such as Mexico, Argentina and Brazil under their feet.

At the same time, China, far in the east, also has many printing factories.

Looking at the world, such a large order volume will no longer be a problem.

From the second week onwards, albums printed locally in the United States began to be released in batches, and in today’s advanced Internet of Things, such a sales method is no longer a problem. There is no need for a warehouse, and the production is directly released. It was taken away by the logistics company and sent to all parts of the world.

As for the OEM records in other countries, the original plan was to ship all of them back to the United States for resale.

But this way of operation is too wasteful of logistics costs, so Dongfang Entertainment, Huana and the printer jointly formulated a new plan. The records printed by the foundry will be directly sold to other countries, and this is just an environment of multiple sales agents. .

Just like the mobile phone companies in the United States sell mobile phones, the mobile phones manufactured by Chinese factories have never been abroad, and all of them are sold directly in China.

Li Zhifan's new album was released in China two full weeks later than in North America, but as a country with a large population and business, it didn't consume much of the album, with sales of only 30 copies a week.

This made Li Zhifan realize once again that the foreign physical market is the market for making money, while the domestic physical market is very tasteless. This may be due to differences in consciousness between ethnic groups, or it may be because Li Zhifan’s album is an English album. A "Kiss Goodbye" is a Chinese song, which leads to this reason.

In the fourth week, the sales speed gradually slowed down. The first final sales volume reached 970 million copies, which means that in the following three weeks, only 470 million copies were sold.

Of course, there were reasons why the printing couldn't keep up, including that I didn't buy any of them for four days in the second week because they were out of stock.

However, the most important thing is the limitation of physical albums.

Moreover, the physical market is always limited, it is impossible to rise or stay flat forever, and there will always be a day of decline, which is a normal phenomenon.

But as the sales of the album slowed down, there were some discordant voices from the outside world.

Li Zhifan learned about these voices through the staff around him, and the source of the voices were some musicians and music companies in the circle.

Originally, Li Zhifan was immune to these voices and didn't take them seriously at all.

However, an American male singer named Madele suddenly revealed his dialect on his personal Irs account: Although Li Zhifan's new album has created a miracle in the past 25 years, it can't sell 1200 million copies at all.

Judging from the current booking and shipping speed, 1200 million copies is still very easy. Outsiders cannot see these data, they can only see the data reported by the company.

Mader said this because his album was originally planned to be released in the near future, but the pre-order volume was too low, with less than 7 copies.

This data is more than 60 times worse than Li Zhifan's original pre-sale volume, and more than 100 times worse than the current sales volume. It is estimated that he was in a hurry to release such stupid words.

The American music scene is also divided into many factions, and each faction is also twisted into one rope.

After Mader made these stupid remarks, a musician friend of his stepped forward and reposted his Irs, kindly reminding Mader: No, your prediction will definitely fail, if it continues to sell, 1200 million copies It should be no problem, but 1500 million copies will be difficult. Huana printed 1000 million copies in the second batch, and it is estimated that it will take the next ten years to buy.

These words seemed to remind Mader in good faith, but in fact they were just to make up for him. The real purpose was to pour some cold water on Li Zhifan, and such a blatant splash did have the usual style of the American entertainment industry.

The cold water they poured successfully angered the Chinese people on the other side of the ocean. As Li Zhifan's strong backing, domestic fans immediately began to slap their faces. In just three days, they ate 200 million albums. Some of them bought them. They were bought by local tyrants, funded by fans, and some of Li Zhifan's friends in the circle.

Among them, Zhou Shilei bought [-] albums by himself, posted pictures on Kuaibo, and gave the album as a gift to the employees of Men's Gang Film and Television Company and the team around him.

Sun Youbin also bought 66 copies in Taiwan, and gave them to his friends in the entertainment industry in Taiwan, and sent many pictures to show his support.

In just three days, the sales of 1500 million albums were slapped in the face at the speed of light, and the messages on the lrs accounts of Mader and his musician friends were all ridiculed and abused.

Even some American singers publicly pointed out: Mader is too stupid!
Of course, those who can stand up and speak like this must not be in the same circle as Mader.

When Li Zhifan's album turmoil was in full swing, "Avatar" finally announced that the production was completed, and the schedule was set. On December 12 this year, it will be released worldwide simultaneously.

There is still half a year before the release, and many viewers can't wait to look forward to this day.

In another world, "Avatar" took two years to shoot, and two years to post-production. It took four full years to produce such an epic blockbuster with magnificent special effects. It took Li Zhifan more than a year in this world , and it's all done.

According to Li Zhifan's previous personality, he would definitely not abandon his work in half a year's free time, and would find something to do when he had nothing to do, but Li Zhifan really started to rest instead of the same as before.

But rest also has a purpose, not staying at home every day and not going out.

For the half-year break, Li Zhifan has formulated a detailed visit plan. As a director and the vice president of Oriental Entertainment North America Division, he will visit Hollywood masters, behind-the-scenes masters, and hot stars one by one. , closer relationship.

These people play an important role in the circle of Hollywood, Golden Globe Awards, Academy Awards, Science Fiction Jupiter Awards and other awards are inseparable from them, and it is not certain that any of them will be the judges. If you make good contacts, you will be able to pull more One ticket.

The Chinese are very proficient at playing with the world and the world. They can master every intersection line by following their own preferences and prescribing the right medicine.

For some heavyweight male stars, Li Zhifan will come to the door with a drama appointment from Oriental Entertainment. This kind of drama appointment does not even have a name, script, or outline. It is just an agreement, promising to shoot a movie tailored for him in the future. Talking happily, it is normal for a sports car to be given away, anyway, Dongfang Entertainment pays the bill.

As for those female stars who want to win over, Li Zhifan also has policies, and has different methods for different types of women, and the methods will not be described in detail.

Those behind-the-scenes bosses are another way.

Since Oriental Entertainment has decided to go public, the stock offering is a must, and these bigwigs are the targets of recruitment.

If you want to integrate into this circle, you have to intersect and replace each other. Take the seven giants of Hollywood as an example. The relationship between them is intricate. Some shareholders hold shares in the three giant companies at the same time, and some giant companies themselves Another giant company has capital injection, while others hold the other party's stock.

To do so is to form a chain of iron chains, where one prospers and one loses.

It’s easier for you, it’s easier for me, it’s easier for everyone, I can’t do it, you have to pay the bill, it’s impossible for one of them to be alone, the core of business society is to trade with each other, especially among the top ten giants in the world. A capital party means that there is cooperation and capital injection into the same project or enterprise.

For Oriental Entertainment to go public smoothly, it is necessary to promise to sell certain shares to these Hollywood bigwigs and exchange resources and shares.

And it's not because of Li Zhifan that these bigwigs can see Dongfang Entertainment, but because of the Chinese market or even the Asian market behind Dongfang Entertainment.

For example, Disney Film and Television, which was the first to cooperate with Oriental Entertainment, released their films in China, and the review has been relaxed a lot, and they are cartoons themselves. In terms of investor recruitment for a film project, they can easily recruit investors from Chinese capital.

This process of mutual integration is a process of great integration of the entire international community, and it is also a process of China's cultural export to the world.

As Li Zhifan visited everywhere, his network became bigger and bigger, and his reputation and status also rose steadily.

From a popular star from China, he gradually surpassed the scope of stars and became a real social celebrity.

Although Li Zhifan didn't take the initiative to fight back against people like Mader, Mader was treated coldly by the company and excluded by other artists in the circle because of Li Zhifan.

In late October, it was revealed that Mader was wearing a cuckold. His girlfriend was an actor in the industry, and he had sex with a black basketball star. The two were photographed shaking in the car.

The deeply insulted Mader posted several articles on social accounts, bombarding the couple.

Immediately afterwards, the basketball star took the initiative to confess on his personal design account, and posted an intimate photo with Mader's girlfriend. I want to leave Mader, because he is a pseudo-musician who has no fun and not much musical talent. All his current achievements are packaged by his former company.

If this kind of thing happened in China's entertainment industry, this couple would definitely be accused of being a thief and a prostitute, and they would be demoralizing.

However, in the American entertainment industry, netizens reacted exactly the opposite. They all advised the actress to leave Mader early, and they chose to be open about her cheating.

On the night when the incident happened, Li Zhifan received a call from the black star who greened Mader.

"Hey! Dude, how about I help you out? I'm your fan!"

Li Zhifan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said, "I absolutely do not support your actions, but I thank you for calling me and confessing your true heart."

"Oh! How do you look like a priest!" The black star continued to ask, "Li, I want to join the CBA. Being able to sign with the Shanghai Oriental team and becoming a foreign player is the biggest dream of my life."

"Okay! I'll talk to Mr. Fang, if they accept you!"

"Thank you then! Oh, I forgot to tell you, that kid's girlfriend is taking a shower in the bathroom right now!"

"Hehe, I wish you a good time!"
