Chapter 441 First Week
Monday, September 10, sunny.

The sky seemed to have just been washed, it was unbelievably clean, and there was no white cloud on the pure blue screen, which felt very unreal.

Even though the northern region has vigorously rectified the environment and eliminated pollution in the past few years, and got rid of the influence of "smog" early, such blue skies are rare in ordinary times, which makes people feel at ease.

Although the hot summer has passed, and the autumn wind is coming with a hint of coolness, the girls in the city still look like they are in the past, wearing summer clothes, short skirts and stockings on the street, showing off their willful ways Long legs and beautiful youth.

For the entertainment industry, whether it is the film and television industry or the music industry, compared to October, which is not an embarrassing month, the summer vacation in July and August is the prime time for celebrities and artists to compete for, whether it is movie releases, or When a new album is released, students are always the main crowd, so summer vacation is always the busiest period.

And at a time like October, generally no big names will release movies or release albums during this time period.

However, Ning Sheng always likes not to follow the routine.When he announced on Weibo that his new album will be released on October 10th, fans and the media cheered happily, but in private, many people felt that Ning Sheng and Huijie Records were out of their minds.

Especially for Mr. Zheng of Huijie Records, many bosses in the same industry can't believe it. If a big guy like Ning Sheng releases an album, you don't choose a time in advance and put it in the summer file, or learn to have a holiday during the Spring Festival. It's time to release it, and it was released in October. What is it for?Test Ning Sheng's appeal?Or is it purely like letting the sales of Ning Sheng's new album hit the street?

Of course, because of Ning Sheng's record of unbeatable success in the past and unbeatable sales, in the media, except for those six companies, there are fewer and fewer people in the newspapers, and no one else is talking about Ning Sheng's album. Everyone thinks that we should wait for the sales to come out before talking about it. It's not too late, lest you get slapped in the face.

No.1 on this year's album sales list in Huaxia is the new album Chapter 5 released by Zhou Tianwang of Baodao in July. Now almost four months have passed, and the total sales volume in China has reached more than 500 million copies. The cumulative sales in other regions are more than 300 million copies, and it is expected that it will not be a big problem to reach the sales volume of diamond records within this year.

In addition to Zhou Tianwang's new album which is like a blockbuster which has been put into the music market this year, other singers from various countries, big and small, have released no less than a hundred new albums in the Huaxia music market, and the singles are even more There are too many, but now the top ten album sales charts, except for an RB band and a Korean girl group, are all Chinese singers.

Moreover, none of the albums on the top ten list are newcomers. Almost all of them are first-line singers who have released three albums or more, and even Asian superstars. With strong impact, the best results are only in the top [-]. If you want to enter the top [-], there is only Girls' Generation left in the whole of Korea with this strength.

It is also necessary to choose a good time. For example, in the top ten albums this year, most of them are male singers, and there are not many real Asian superstars. Except for a few two or three such as Zhou Tianwang, the rest are all first-line singers, so girls It was only under the hard-working publicity campaign and a hard month of running around that Times managed to squeeze its new album into the top ten of China's album chart sales.

Now that Ning Sheng's new album is about to hit, many people think that one of the top ten positions on the album chart will definitely be given up, so the ninth and tenth albums with close sales are in danger.One of the ninth officially Girls' Generation's sixth album.

When the Monday of October [-]th came, not only Ning Sheng's fans were excited, but fans of many other singers were also anxiously waiting.

Because it is not summer vacation or winter vacation, especially if it is not a rest day like Saturday and Sunday, whether it is office workers or students, these two large groups have always been the main force of consumption. They came here at the first time, so the people from Huijie Records actually didn't have much expectations for the sales on the first day.

For this release date, Mr. Zheng originally thought it would be best to wait until Saturday, but Ning Sheng felt that it didn't matter. He is currently busy with various training and rehearsals for the tour, and has no time to do various activities and promotions, so Just release it as soon as possible, and based on word of mouth and his subsequent tour, Ning Sheng believes that the sales will not be bad.

As early as October [-]th when Ning Sheng released the single, distributors in various areas around Kyoto had already arrived, and then on October [-]th, distributors in major cities across the country basically arrived It's ready, as soon as the doors opened this morning, Ning Sheng's new album "Goodbye", "Don't Cry" had already been placed on the shelves of major audiovisual chain stores across the country.

On this day, the audiovisual store opened at [-]:[-] am as usual, and there was no long line outside the door waiting to buy albums. Even though many bosses had expected it in their hearts, they were still a little disappointed.

After all, you can't ask students not to go to class, white-collar workers come to buy albums when they don't go to work, right?

Therefore, the most important moment is actually the lunch break at noon, and the time after get off work and get out of class after [-] pm.

But obviously it is true that there are no customers at all, some people who don't need to go to work or go to school walk into the video store, and the boss has not had time to open Ning Sheng's new album and listen to it for himself.

"Boss, two Mandarin albums by Zhang Ningcheng." A young man with colorfully dyed hair came in, commonly known as Sha Matt, but it's rare to encounter this kind of look in the city these years, and now this kind of look is the most It seems to be on the South Vietnamese side.

The boss took out two Mandarin albums from the box under the cashier and put them in a small bag and handed them over, then took the 100 yuan from the other party, and continued to introduce "Ning Sheng's new English album in the store, don't you want it?" ?"

Sha Matt shook his head and said, "No, my eldest brother and the others don't understand English. This album is for my eldest brother and sister-in-law. It costs tens of dollars a piece. I might as well eat a few skewers."

Seeing that Sha Matt took the change, and staggered away pulling on the slippers, the boss also shook his head ineffectively, "I never thought that Ning Sheng's first new album in the store would be bought by a gangster—— "

The bell rang for the last class in the morning. Instead of going to the cafeteria to eat, Liu Qian returned the books to the dormitory, left the school, and walked to a video store not far away.

Before Liu Qian walked in, a familiar singing voice came from the stereo at the entrance of the video store.

I'm afraid I won't have a chance
Say goodbye to you

Because maybe I'll never see you again——
Liu Qian seemed to see Zhou Jun's teary face in the cafeteria the day before yesterday.Taking a deep breath, forcing back the moisture in her eyes, Liu Qian quickly walked into the video store that was getting more and more crowded.

Entering the audio-visual store, the cash register was already surrounded by people waiting to check out. Liu Qian went directly to the shelf to find the album. In the most obvious position, Ning Sheng's two new albums "Goodbye" and "Don't Cry" were on the There, just as Liu Qian was stunned, the last "Goodbye" on the shelf in front of her was taken away by someone else.

"Hey——" Liu Qian's shout was ignored, because more people came in, Liu Qian felt that there were people pushing forward behind her, and someone shouted behind her, "Do you want to, don't get out of the way!"

So Liu Qian hurriedly took a piece of Ning Sheng's new English album "Don't Cry", and then went to the cash register to check out. When it was her turn to check out, Liu Qian asked, "Boss, do you still have Ning Cheng's new Mandarin album "Goodbye"?" ? There’s nothing on the shelf over there!”

The boss shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, the [-] Mandarin albums we bought last night are all sold out, and the English albums are all on the shelves, but don't worry, everyone, we'll go pick up the goods today, and we'll make up for it tomorrow."

Liu Qian couldn't wait and asked, "Boss, why don't you give me the one in your computer, and I'll buy it at the original price, how about it?"

The boss shook his head and smiled wryly, "Girl, the guy before you bought the one I opened in the store, and now I have a copy of it in my computer, and there is no album left. Don't worry, if you don't leave tomorrow, I will definitely give it to you." Keep one!"

During the lunch break, the audio-visual stores near various universities and middle schools were completely crowded with students after class. The owners of many audio-visual stores who were originally nervous immediately let go of the big rock in their hearts, and soon, the owners of these relatively small audio-visual stores Regret again and again.Because they purchased too little, most of them sold out the two albums of Ning Cheng they got at noon, and very few could keep a small part, but after six o'clock in the afternoon, it was not the students' turn to go. Those young people who got off work rushed into the store, and only a few lucky ones grabbed it, and the others could only go back disappointed, or rush to the next bigger video store.

And what the bosses of audiovisual stores will do most is to call to ask for goods, and the quantity purchased this time is at least double that of the previous one, and the bosses of small audiovisual stores simply hand over the store to their wives, Then drive directly to Huijie Records to load the goods.

"Ning Sheng's new album "Goodbye" sold 7898 copies on the first day at the largest audio-visual chain store in Kyoto, becoming Ning Sheng's lowest record on the first day of album sales since his debut!" --- Kyoto Music News.

"Ning Sheng's Mandarin album "Goodbye" is out of stock in many small and medium audio-visual stores, but in the large impression chain stores in various places, the sales results are somewhat disappointing. Perhaps this is because Ning Sheng and Huijie Records set the album release date at [-]. I hope this lesson can teach Ning Sheng, especially Huijie Records, that the laws of the market will not change because of your fame!" --- China Entertainment Times.

"The sales volume of the English album "Don't Cry" released at the same time as Ning Sheng's Mandarin album "Goodbye" seems to be similar to that of the Mandarin album. Of the first-day sales, more than [-]% of them were because the fans didn't want to go back empty-handed after they couldn't buy the Mandarin album "Goodbye", so they bought this English album. When many people bought it, they didn't listen to English at all. song, or know nothing about English, it can be seen that the impact of Huijie Records' simultaneous release of the two albums, although it seems to be a powerful side now, but those who bought "Don't Cry" because they couldn't buy "Goodbye" If the fans don’t like this English album after they go back, or if they don’t have the spare money to buy a new album, then it’s not good news for Ning Sheng’s reputation or the sales figures of the album!”--Northwest Music Weekly.

For a whole week, Ning Sheng rarely showed up to promote the release of the new album. Apart from participating in two short talk shows at the beginning, there was no more news. He dropped two albums and then disappeared by himself. How to do it, the media and fans are confused, especially for the media.

The fans are obsessed with the music because of the new album, but the media reports on the two albums seem to be limited. It seems that Ning Sheng is the one who reports and interviews. Especially at this time, a singer should be exposed a lot and appear on the show. At that time, many big stars who did not participate in variety shows in the past would have to go on stage to promote their new album.

However, after the major TV stations and the media scrambled to invite Ning Cheng, Ning Cheng's response was completely silent. This is simply incomprehensible. Could it be that Ning Cheng is not feeling well?Or is it that the children and wife at home have something to do and can't leave?

The media didn't understand, the fans were so excited after listening to the new song and wanted to hear the commentary of idol Ning Sheng, but Ning Sheng just didn't show up.

In this way, the first week of the new album's release has passed.

In the early morning of October 10th, Mr. Zheng got a copy of the album sales ranking of the previous week on the Teana Chart.

Unlike the "Tian Lai Music List" magazine, which only lists rankings without specific data, this ranking is provided internally, and the data on it are all specific to single digits, which is extremely accurate.

From October 10th to October 10th, for a whole week and seven days, the sales volume of Ning Sheng's Mandarin album "Goodbye" in China was 10 copies!
Its ranking on the album sales list of sounds of nature is: No. [-]!champion!

And another English album "Don't Cry" released at the same time sold 233589 copies in China for a week!
The ranking in the album sales list of sounds of nature is: the third place!
Also on the new list of the Teana Singles Chart, in the top [-], except for one classic song by Zhou Tianwang, all the other [-] songs have been replaced with new songs.

So everyone who paid attention to this list was surprised to find that they saw something remarkable.

That was Ning Sheng's name.
