The straight man in the entertainment circle

Not long after breakfast the next day, Jiang Da arrived at Lin Li's house.

"Lin Li, the sales volume of your album on the first day is out." Jiang Da said in a low tone.

The album is relatively expensive, and Lin Li's songs have all been released as singles online, which will definitely affect sales.

The total cost of more than ten singles is more than ten yuan, and a physical record has to take into account the cost and channel commission, and the price is slightly more expensive. Although Lin Lizing's 17 Yuan is already very conscientious, it seems to ordinary people It’s not a must-buy.

The current environment is not very good, and records cannot be sold at all. In addition, Lin Li's songs can be bought and listened to online, so except for very die-hard fans, basically no one will buy Lin Li's physical album.

For these reasons, Lin Li's album was destined not to sell very well.

When Lin Li set the price at 17, Jiang Da would basically have to sell more than 80,000 copies to make a profit even if he settled the account.

And the number of 80,000 is still very difficult for a newcomer.

Song Wenjie also became a little serious when she heard Jiang Da's tone was so low.

"Is it not selling well?"

"Mom, from his tone, you know that my album should be selling well."

Song Wenjie was stunned and asked: "How do you know?"

"Oh, I don't know who he is. He would come to our house so early if the sales were good. If the sales were really bad, he would definitely not mention it."

Jiang Da was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "Damn, I still wanted to pretend, but you touched me."

Lin Li suddenly felt goosebumps all over his body: "Hey, be careful what you say, what does it mean to understand..."

"I mean you have figured out my personality."

Seeing Song Wenjie at the side, Jiang Da explained with a smile.

"Okay, it sounds disgusting. Tell me, how much did the album sell?"

"Not long after midnight, the Recording Association came out with statistics. I didn't have the nerve to bother you at that time. Your album sold more than 76,000 copies on the first day!"

All data on records released by Huaxia are collected by the Recording Association to ensure the authenticity of the data.

"Oh... it sounds average. The number of times I purchased singles sold on three music websites is much more than this number."

Lin Li suddenly felt that the sales were indeed not good enough.

Jiang Dadao: "It is precisely because everyone has bought your songs online that there are not so many people buying albums. Now the sales are already very good."

"Yes, the sales are pretty good." Song Wenjie is quite satisfied with this result.

Lin Li asked: "What level am I in the industry?"

Jiang Da said: "The record industry is in recession now, and there are not many singers who can sell so many records in a day. Looking at the entire music industry, your sales volume is already on the front line. According to this trend, 20 albums are sold in a week." If it’s not a big problem, you should be able to reach 30 a month.”

Lin Li knew that after the album was released, it would be based on the sales volume in the previous month. After one month, the album would basically be unsaleable.

"Is this a close call?" Lin Li couldn't believe it.

"It's just that in today's environment, it would have been nothing ten years ago. The record industry was so hot at that time." A trace of yearning appeared on Jiang Da's face.

"When we were young, it was true that when singers released records, it was like a war..." Song Wenjie was also quite emotional.

Lin Li still remembers when he was a child. At that time, CDs and records were sold all over the street, but now it is difficult to see them.

Jiang Da continued what Song Wenjie said: "Isn't this a war? At that time, the first-line singers, the Four Heavenly Kings, Zhou Lingling and others, each sold millions of albums, which is scary today."

Their conversation aroused some curiosity in Lin Li. He picked up his phone and went to the Recording Association to check it out.

In the music industry, he knew all the records about albums right away.

The best-selling debut album of any singer was achieved by Zhou Lingling fifteen years ago. It was a good time for her.

Her first album after her debut, "A Flash of Light", sold more than 950,000 copies.

The person who has sold the most single albums is Sun Yulong. The album "Where Does Love Go" sold more than 5 million copies.

The person with the largest total sales volume of Huaxia records is Zhang Jing, known as the king of kings. Over the past thirty years, he has released 17 records, with a total sales volume of an astonishing 50 million!

In recent years, the record market has been sluggish, and even records released by A-list stars have struggled to sell for millions.

Not to mention breaking the records set by these guys.

Not many singers who have just debuted dare to release albums, and even fewer can sell them.

Lin Li also specifically checked out Leng Ying, who is currently in the spotlight. Her first album sold 720,000 copies, making it the best-selling album by a newcomer in ten years.

Lin Li continued to check the situation in the past two days. The past two years have become more and more bleak. Among the new singers who have released records, most of them have sold 30,000 to 50,000, and some have sold a few thousand. There is only one named Bai Jingyu who sells records. It's ok.

Bai Jingyu is also a newcomer. This is his first album, and its name is: "You and I Are Companions"!

His album was released at the beginning of the year and has now sold more than 380,000 copies. It is the best-selling album by a newcomer in recent years since Leng Ying. He is considered a rising star in the music industry.

After such a comparison, Lin Li discovered how good his sales of more than 70,000 albums were today!

"There's something else I want to ask you." Jiang Da said.

"Well, you say."

"Now that you've released an album, don't you have to go on a few shows, accept a few interviews, and preferably hold a few autograph sessions? In this case, the sales of the album will skyrocket."

Song Wenjie looked helpless and said, "Stop talking, my phone has been bombarded with calls these days. They are all inviting Lin Li to be interviewed and appear on the show."

Lin Li followed his mother's words and said, "No, I'm going to Yanjing to report tomorrow."

Jiang Da said "Oh", he really didn't think much about the follow-up arrangements for the album this time, so the time was tight, so this was the only way.

"Then I'll go back to Yanjing headquarters." Jiang Da said.

"Then I'll go to Kyoto too." Song Wenjie said.

"Mom, just sign up and I'll go by myself."

Lin Li didn't want his mother to follow him to Yanjing.

"I'm not accompanying you to register. I'm your agent. Although you are studying at Yanda, you still have to arrange some activities on weekdays. I have to arrange them for you. Besides, after I go, there won't be anything else. Say, you don’t have to worry about food.”

Song Wenjie has now fully entered the role of an agent.

"Auntie, you'd better go. I'll have someone find a good house for you near the school." Jiang Da said.

Song Wenjie looked at Jiang Da and said with a smile: "Will the rent company give it?"

Jiang Da smiled helplessly and said, "If you do, the company will definitely do it."

Lin Li sighed, walked back to the room and fell on the bed.

Jiang Da called in the evening and told Song Wenjie the address of the house he had found.

Song Wenjie also booked a flight ticket.

Lin Li packed up his things and went to bed early in the evening.
