  Chapter 155 [155] Overseas Voice

   "Did the little dragon girl hear it?"

   "Uh...should be."

   "You wrote it, you don't know?"

   "I'm just a code word, a **** who knows a fart."

  "[Question]"

   "Cough, there must be some twists and turns, but don't worry, this time it is Yang who went to find Xiaolongnv, and after finding it, it will be very sweet."

  At noon, Zhang Yang had something to do, so he went back to the company, and did not have dinner with Lin Yiran. In the evening, Lin Yiran was called home by his parents, so he could only ask Zhang Yang through his mobile phone.

Zhang Yang recalled the subsequent plot. When Yang Guo found Xiaolongnv, he had already mastered martial arts. A black iron sword overwhelmed Quanzhen. He worshiped in Chongyang Palace and got married until Xiaolongnv jumped off the Valley of Unfeeling. After that, the two never separated. pass.

  Although Xiaolongnv was seriously injured and dying, but after all, she came to worship... this should be considered sweet, right?

  Zhang Yang reassured again and again that he had spoiled the wedding ceremony, and calmed down Lin Yiran, before talking about the new album that will be released tomorrow.

  Due to the impact of digital music, physical albums are gradually declining. Last year, the sales volume of the new album released by a top-notch pop singer like Lin Suyuan was only barely two million.

  The sales volume of two million physical albums is by no means low, but as the ceiling of the industry, in a world where copyright protection and genuine awareness are so perfect, this sales volume has shrunk too much compared to the golden age.

  According to the original plan of Sea-Gull's marketing department, Zhang Yang's first album should focus on digital albums, and the physical album can be as simple as it needs to be, but it was directly rejected by the marketing department's experience.

Generally speaking, even for a student who debuted in a talent show, the first album must be a brand new work. There is no precedent for Zhang Yang to use a talent show to release an album. Therefore, according to the reconsideration of the marketing department, the online sales of the album Not optimistic.

In this case, it is the right way for the first album to focus on offline physical albums, but even if Zhang Yang has already shown online popularity and enthusiasm comparable to first-line singers, even if the works have already "flowed out in advance", even The most optimistic people dare not have too much expectation for the sales of physical albums.

According to the planning of the marketing department, the physical sales volume of the album should be between 200,000 and 400,000—the first album of Du Feng, the champion of the first season of Yinchao, with ten new works, the price is less than 100 yuan, and the physical sales volume is only 30. How much, it has been hyped up by the industry.

  From this perspective, the entire Seagull is still very optimistic about the prospects of Zhang Yang's album.

The album was officially released on the 27th, but the promotion had already started a week in advance. Zhang Yang needed military training and could not ask for leave. There was nothing he could do about it. The Propaganda Department complained about this. It is said that the No. 2 person in the Propaganda Department also said some harsh words, to the effect that he had never seen such a big-name newcomer before, and was reprimanded by Liang Qidong.

  In addition to this, some other discordant voices within the company were basically suppressed by Liang Qidong—but these news still reached Zhang Yang's ears.

   This is probably Liang Qidong's tricks to win people's hearts, or his smile to separate him.

This once made Zhang Yang a little puzzled. Logically speaking, Liang Qidong is not incompetent in himself to achieve such a position. Whether it is the "stumbling block" on the day of signing the contract, or the repeated goodwill now, it is not likely to be like this. What the character should do.

  Of course, the general manager is also a human being, and pigs can fly in the wind, so it is not difficult to understand if he really did such a thing—so whether it is because of his uncle Zhang Shouren, Zhang Yang is still not sure.

  The name of the album was finally decided to be "Hai Nei Sheng". The name was suggested by Song Xiangnan, who was in charge of copywriting planning in the studio. It is said to be derived from a certain fan ID seen in Zhang Yang's small world.

Song Xiangnan liked poetry since he was a child. Although he didn't know why this fan named him such a name, he thought of the somewhat uncommon line "Hai Nei Yi Yang Sheng". After several album names were rejected, he listed this as a backup. I chose, but I didn't expect to be caught by Zhang Yang's eyes.

  As for the matter of Zhang Yang and Lin still confirming their relationship, media reports had already begun the day after the two publicly held hands on campus, and it indeed caused a certain shock among the fans and audience who saw it.

However, over the past year or so, although Weibo has grown a lot thanks to the popularity of mid-to-low-end smartphones, Zhang Yang has not yet been certified—the company has actually been certified, and the only thing left is to wait for the first album to come out. Announced - so did not directly see the public's specific thoughts on this matter.

   And to be honest, he didn't care that much.

Lin Yiran has been paying attention all the time. When he first saw the media reports, he was still a little worried. He has been paying attention to the trend of speeches on the Internet. Later, he found that most of the people are "gifted men and beautiful women who will eventually get married." Congratulations and blessings Only then did I feel relieved.

   On the contrary, in her Ti Ting small world, many people objected and withdrew, but the voices of appreciation and blessing were also the majority, and because of the "marriage", the two small worlds communicated with each other, and the number of followers continued to skyrocket.

In recent years, there has been more than one talent show "Sound Super League". There are many students who are also extremely popular when the show is broadcast. It's just Du Feng and Du Qing who were in the first class.

Although Zhang Yang has the confidence brought by cheating, he has many lessons learned from the past, so he is still somewhat nervous. Lin still understands, so he started chatting from the album and deliberately talked about light topics to make him feel at ease. He didn't go to sleep until midnight .

The 27th is Sunday, so students and office workers have time to pay attention to and buy albums. Many people wake up early, but unfortunately the digital album will not be available until 8:00 in the morning. When Zhang Yang wakes up, his I can't do it even if I want to contribute a sales volume to myself.

   As for the physical album, since it was ready last night, it can still be bought in the store, but he didn't buy it either. He only took a copy from the collector's edition prepared by the company and waited for Lin Yiran in front of the school gate.

  Lin still set off at about the same time as him, but the distance was slightly farther away. Zhang Yang waited outside the school gate for about five minutes. During this period, three or four alumni from inside and outside the school came to ask him to sign a new album.

  Zhang Yang did some calculations about the probability, but he couldn't figure out how much sales the school could contribute, so he had to give up.

  Yuan Tong parked the car in front of Zhang Yang, and Zhang Yang went forward to open the left rear door. Lin still held his hand to get out, and before he could stand still, he went to get the album in his hand.

  The cover is a photo of Zhang Yang taken in the recording studio, with only his head, wearing earphones, his face is chiseled, quite handsome—Lin Yiran looked at the cover, then looked up at Zhang Yang, curled his lips.

  Zhang Yang stretched out his hand and pinched her smooth and delicate cheeks, and said angrily, "Why are you twitching?"

  Lin still glanced at him, "I don't have a good-looking photo!"

   After finishing speaking, he grinned, lowered his head and broke away from his hand, twisted his waist and fled to the school gate, Zhang Yang waved his hand at Yuan Tong, and followed.

  Lin still trotted for a few steps, then stopped, looked at the front and back of the album, unpacked it, and looked at his signature—she was not that rare about Zhang Yang's signature, but couldn't wait to see what he wrote for herself.

   If only it was like those signed albums that are given to fans... Huh!

  When she looked intently, there were two lines written in the only fluent script in the world:

   Everyone looks at each other, the color of the world is like dust

   Zhang Yang presented Yiyi

  ——

   "Mom, I'm going out!"

   Thousands of miles away in Qingcheng, Zhang Wei finished breakfast, greeted his parents, opened the door of the house, walked towards the nearest video store on the street outside the community under the rising sun.

   "Boom boom boom boom"

   Before seeing the signboard of the video store, the phone rang suddenly. Zhang Wei took out the phone, glanced at it, put it on to his ear, and said "Hello": "Xiaoqi."

   Before her voice fell, Tang Yanqi said: "Wei Wei, have you gone to buy an album? In this video store near my house, your brother's album has already been sold out..."

   "Huh?" Zhang Wei widened his eyes in surprise.

   "I didn't expect that either."

  Tang Yanqi's tone was both gloomy and anxious, Zhang Wei was secretly moved when he heard it, Xiao Qi is indeed a good friend and sister, and she cares more about her brother's new album than herself.

  "The boss said that the popularity of singers born in talent shows is too vain. I don't know if the first album will sell well, so I didn't dare to buy much. It was sold out just after the door opened."

"No way…"

  Although there is no doubt that Tang Yanqi is lying, what he said is too mysterious, Zhang Wei still can't believe it.

   Tang Yanqi said: "Did you buy it?"

   "I'm on my way, and I'm going to the video store in front."

   "Then you bring me a copy, and I'll give you the money later."

"it is good."

  Zhang Wei hung up the phone, trotted a few steps, walked for a while, and finally saw the signboard of the video store. When he walked in, he saw a pretty young lady walking out with an album.

  The words "Hai Nei Sheng" are written on the cover, which seems to be the name of the album. It is a bit of a mouthful, and it is strange. The photo with headphones is familiar yet unfamiliar.

  But I was relieved. It seems that this store still has goods—the video store near my home, but not many people bought albums. It’s really strange. I look back and laugh at Zhang Yang!

  She walked into the video store and asked crisply, "Boss, do you have Zhang Yang's new album?"

   "Publicity?"

  The owner of the video store in the thirties of the year seemed a little surprised, and seemed a little confused, and asked, "Is that the one from Yinchao? The one who chased girls and wrote songs?"

"…Yes."

  Zhang Weian secretly rolled his eyes, thinking that my brother is so good and has so many good songs, you just remember chasing girls to write songs, and you still open a video store at this level, no wonder no one comes to you to buy albums.

   Before she finished complaining, she saw that the owner of the video store had an expression of surprise and regret. She waved her hand and said, "No, the last copy has just been sold out, no more!"

"what?"

  Zhang Wei was startled, "Is it sold out so quickly?"

"Ugh!"

The boss sighed a little depressingly, "Who would have thought that the sales would be so good? I bought 20 copies. I was worried that they would not be sold. I just called and the new album will arrive at noon. When will you come again?"

"All right."

  Zhang Wei didn't know whether to be happy or depressed, she pursed her lips, turned around and left the video store, stood on the side of the street looking around, a little hesitant.

This video store is in the east of the community, and it is relatively close. There is another one in the west, which is a bit far away, but at this time, if you go to that one again, it will be a bit far away. From this video store, how far is it to the east? There will be another one, and she doesn't know.

   "Dead publicity, stinky publicity, why are you selling so fast!"

Zhang Wei murmured and complained, looked at the sun, and decided to continue walking towards the sun, if he couldn’t find it after walking for five minutes, he could just take a taxi, the money for the taxi and the album would be reimbursed to Zhang Yang—anyway, he was Sell ​​him.

  Even Xiao Qi's share is counted, Xiao Qi is so concerned about his album, although it's for his own sake, but in the end it's still for him to sell... Just treat it as a gift from him!
