Chapter 442 Leaked
Although Ning Sheng's practice of not publicizing caused many media fans to complain, but under the bewildered and even helpless gaze of his peers, during the entire October of this year, all musicians, all related radio stations, TV stations, newspapers, magazines, etc. The saying is: music genius Ning Sheng is back!He will continue to dominate the music market in Asia, unstoppable!
On October 10th, another Monday, when Mr. Zheng of Huijie Records was holding the internal data in his hands, the weekly sales ranking of music albums of Tian Lai Bang was released on time. At the same time, most of the industry What the practitioners in the industry get is naturally the same as Mr. Zheng got, which is the sales ranking with accurate data.

Generally speaking, from October to before the Spring Festival, this period of about three to four months can be regarded as the off-season for record sales in the domestic pop music scene and the peak season for commercial performances.Ordinary big-name singers seldom choose to release new albums in these few months, and most of them are singers with a slightly lower market position.In fact, this time period is also the default time period for big-name singers who released albums in the spring and summer to continue to reap the remaining sales.

Therefore, although many singers, especially new singers, chose to release their new albums during this period of time, trying to compete for the rankings during the gap in the market, in the sales rankings of the Sound of Sounds last week, the total The new albums of Zhou Tianwang and Zhang Tianhou, whose sales have already broken through 5 million and 300 million copies, and which are still maintaining a certain degree of slow decline, are still in the top ten. Girls' Generation's new album is still ranked No.16 on the list.

And Ning Sheng's new albums "Goodbye" and "Don't Cry", which were released nationwide on Monday last week, compared to Ning Sheng's previous album sales of 60 million or even nearly a million in the first week, the results this time seem to be worse. Not a lot.

However, today is different, because of the advent of the Internet age, the new generation of young people are not as fond of and obsessed with physical albums as the previous fans. Let’s see how many people no longer release new albums, but use digital albums to release songs , and look at the mobile phones in everyone's hands, computers at home and other items, it seems that physical albums have a sense of outdated vinyl records.

But the good news is that today's physical albums are CDs, which can be used on any computer with an optical drive, which makes today's physical albums seem to have better living conditions than vinyl records.

However, the year-by-year decline in sales of physical albums is inevitable. This is a major trend in the global music market, and no one can change it.

However, let’s look at Ning Sheng’s two new albums. First, the Mandarin album "Goodbye" sold more than 36 copies nationwide in the first week, and the English album "Don't Cry" sold more than 23 copies. Huaxia's national album sales are already No. [-] and No. [-], which shows that Ning Sheng's appeal and popularity are still there.

Of course, some people will say that looking at the first-week sales of all albums nationwide this year, the highest is Zhou Tianwang's more than 50 copies. It seems that Ning Sheng's new album is not as good as Zhou Tianwang.

But don't forget that Ningcheng's two albums are released at the same time, fans' purchasing power will definitely be diverted, and the combined sales of the two albums in the first week is nearly 60 copies.What's more, the release date of Ning Sheng's album is another bleak market cycle.

So, in general, as long as there is a brain and a reasonable person, they will understand that although Ning Sheng's first week's album sales figures seem to be as dazzling as before, in terms of gold content and Ning Sheng's status in the music world, it is not. It is still unshakable.

This is also one of the reasons why Mr. Zheng can rest assured. In such an unfavorable schedule, there are still singers who do not cooperate with the promotion. Three, if you are not satisfied with such a result, then there is something wrong with your brain.

Moreover, on this week's ranking list, including the albums of top singers from various Asian countries such as Zhou Tianwang, Zhang Tianhou, Girls' Generation, etc., except for the No. 3 and No. 4 of Ning Sheng's two albums, from No. The weekly sales data of all albums from 10 to No.329328 are added up, and there are only [-] copies!
In other words, the sales volume of Ning Sheng's Mandarin album "Goodbye" in the first week was more than 10 more than the sum of sales of the seven albums of other singers from No. 30 to No. 40 in the previous week. , nearly [-] copies!
This is downright crushing!
This extremely powerful posture is enough to show the peerless demeanor of Ning Cheng, a talented musician and superstar!It is also a testament to the excellent quality of this album.

Moreover, in addition to this, Mr. Zheng has a trump card. As long as this trump card is made public, he believes that not only Ning Sheng's two new albums, but also the sales of those old albums will also soar.

It's just that, to be honest, Mr. Zheng would rather not have this trump card, but he can decide this matter. After Mr. Zheng called Ning Sheng again, he finally told the publicity department with a sigh, "Let's release the news! Then The publicity and distribution department should make a plan and make good use of this opportunity."

While the media and fans across the country were arguing about the sales of Ning Sheng's new album and song under the new charts of the Teana Album and Single Charts, Huijie Records once again revealed to the media in private In the way of news, an explosion news was leaked!

"Ning Cheng is going to retire from the music scene completely!" The reporter who got the news at the time was stunned for a while, and asked the other party in disbelief, "Are you kidding me with this news? Ning Cheng just turned 30 years old, and he is 56 The singers are still on tour, how could Ning Cheng retire?"

The employee of Huijie Records who was in charge of leaking the news said swearingly, "I didn't believe it at first, but do you know what our company is busy these days? Ning Sheng is going to hold a concert, and it will be a world tour, and the plan will be across the world There are three continents in Asia, Europe and the United States, in nearly a hundred cities, and it is conservatively estimated that there will be more than a hundred large-scale performances. This news will probably be discovered by other reporters soon. Ning Sheng is not doing any promotion for his new album this time, just preparing for the tour. ——”

The reporter directly interrupted the other party and asked, "What does this have to do with Ning Cheng's retirement? Isn't Ning Sheng's large-scale tour just to develop his career?"

The other party shook his head and smiled, "It's been so long, don't you understand what kind of character Ning Cheng is? He's a master who is too lazy to describe, and now that his wife and children are hot on the bed, it's time to have a good time. Release two albums and hold such a large tour, that is the most tiring and troublesome tour that Ning Sheng hates!"

The reporter asked, "This is why you said Ning Cheng retired?" Obviously, he didn't believe the other party's information at all.

The other party chuckled and said, "Then do you know what the theme of Ning Sheng's tour is? Even the organizer doesn't know about it, that is, very few people in our company know about it, and I saw it by accident."

The reporter hurriedly asked, "What subject?"

The other party whispered two words, "Farewell!"

"bid farewell?"

"That's right, the complete one should be: a global farewell tour!"

"The theme of the farewell tour is really not right. Maybe it's Ning Sheng's ulterior motives, or some other reason? It doesn't have to be a retirement, right? Could it be that he is temporarily quitting to take care of his children and old age?"

"Of course I don't know the deep reason, but from the company's actions this year, I feel that Ning Sheng is really going to retire, and it seems that he is going to take a second position in the company as a behind-the-scenes person—"

As a reporter, especially an entertainment reporter, although there are still some differences from most paparazzi gossip reporters, the difference is actually not that big, and the specifics depend on their respective psychological bottom lines.

And as an entertainment reporter who is a fan of Ning Cheng, he naturally doesn't want to believe the news of Ning Sheng's retirement, but as a reporter, he naturally has to firmly grasp such news, so no matter how much he doesn't want to believe it in his heart , The next day, the report that Ning Sheng was about to retire from the music scene came out, "Ning Sheng is preparing for a global farewell tour, and the date of retirement is approaching!" A big headline shook the entire music scene.

As for Ning Sheng's fans, gossip people on the Internet exploded like chicken blood.

"Ning Cheng retired? This is the most ridiculous joke of this century!"

"Ning Cheng is only in his early 30s this year, right? Is he going to retire? Then more than [-]% of the first-line singers in the music world are going to retire, right?"

"Although the sales volume of Ning Cheng's two albums can't be compared with his previous ones, they are also the national sales champion and third place. Compared with the albums of the same period, they are also top sales figures, right? How could Ning Cheng retire? Unless The earth is going to explode tomorrow! Otherwise, I would never believe it!"

"I think this is the record company's promotion strategy, right? Ning Sheng won't come out to do promotion, so the promotion department is trying their best to think of ways to mess around? Huijie Records is going to die!"

"First of all, I absolutely don't believe the rumors of Ning Sheng's retirement. Then, I just wanted to ask, is it true that Ning Sheng is preparing for a tour at the press conference?"

"Ning Sheng's retirement is fake, but Ning Sheng's world tour can be real! This should be real!"

"Ning Sheng's retirement should be fake, but Ning Sheng's tour can be real!"

"My wife and I have been waiting for Ning Cheng's concert so much that our children can make soy sauce. God Ning Cheng, don't make us wait so long to hold our grandchildren!"

Everyone on the Internet is almost one-sidedly disbelieving that Ning Sheng will retire, and at the same time, more fans are looking forward to the news of Ning Sheng's tour being true, so many fans go directly to Huijie Records' official website and Ning Sheng's Weibo Leave a message on the blog to verify the tour!As for the news of Ning Cheng's retirement, no one believed it at all, so everyone took him as a joke and no one took it seriously.

Less than an hour after everyone left your message, a new update was made on the official website of Huijie Records!
"Ning Sheng is officially preparing for his first global tour. It is expected to officially start from Kyoto on December [-]. Please wait and see!"

Immediately, countless fans poured into the official website of Huijie Records to leave comments and likes, celebrating happily, just like a festival.

"God bless, Ning Sheng is finally going on tour before I get married. I can go crazy for the last time before I get married. I want to travel the world with Ning Sheng's tour, long live—"

"I have saved my pocket money for several years just to watch Ning Sheng's concert. Yesterday I finally couldn't bear to spend all my pocket money on a big meal, and then today it was revealed that Ning Sheng was going on a tour? Oh my god, what are you talking about?" And me?"

"Now listen to all of Ning Sheng's albums again, looking forward to the chorus at the concert!"

"Excited, but who can tell me where to buy tickets?"

"That is to say, the concert will start in December, and tickets should be available for sale now, right?"

Soon a bunch of messages inquiring about ticket sales were posted, and then in the last lesson before get off work in the afternoon, the staff of Huijie Records finally gave a unified reply, "Ning Sheng's global farewell tour in Kyoto will be held on November [-]st. The ticket sales will officially start, and please pay attention to the official website for the link and address update of the ticket sales site!"

Ning Sheng's Weibo reprinted news from Huijie Records' official website Weibo at a quiet moment in the evening. Everyone cheered for the good news of Ning Sheng's tour, but there was a senior old fan who had eaten During dinner, while scrolling through Weibo to see Ning Sheng and other netizens' comments, I found a not-so-good word.

"Ning Sheng's global farewell tour? Farewell tour?" Liu Li paused while holding the coffee, her brows were frowned, and she suddenly had a very bad premonition in her heart.

"Impossible!" Liu Li muttered while scrolling through Ning Cheng's Weibo before and after, "Recently, there are no signs on Ning Cheng's Weibo either!"

Uneasy, Liu Li opened Huijie Records' official Weibo again, except for the entry "Global farewell tour, there are no other doubts?"

Liu Li searched online, looking for news about Ning Sheng's retirement, and besides the ones she had seen that she laughed at, she found a new report, which was a new news from "China Entertainment News" , and she remembered very clearly that this media was the first to report the news of Ning Sheng's retirement.

Liu Li clicked on the entry, and the headline that caught her eye was "Ning Cheng's friends are trying to keep them, but it's hard to believe that she is determined. Retirement is inevitable!"

Liu Li's heart trembled, and she slid the mouse to browse the content below.

The content of the news is not much, and there are no specific names of Ning Cheng's friends in it. It just said that according to the reporter's investigation, the news of Ning Cheng's retirement is not a secret book among his friends, and Ning Sheng's decision to retire is based on It was decided this year. Everyone, including the record company, has repeatedly persuaded Ning Sheng, but Ning Sheng wanted to retire, and no one could do anything about it. This global farewell tour is Ning Sheng's farewell to fans and the music industry. , a generation of Uranus superstars will bid farewell to the music stage!

Liu Li turned off the news and began to check the Weibo of all Ning Sheng's friends, such as Ding Xuan, Britney, Emma, ​​Yuan Jieying, Gu Tianlei, Jiao Enjun, Wan Qiwen, etc. Anyone who has a friendly relationship with Ning Sheng, Liu Li I checked one by one, wanting to find any clues, wanting to know something that can make me feel at ease, or make me more uneasy.

However, after searching for more than an hour, there was nothing. Liu Li couldn't fall asleep lying on the bed. No matter how unreasonable it was for Ning Cheng to retire, the worry in her heart couldn't go away!
