Chapter 106 The First Wave of Heat
Chapter 106 The First Wave of Heat
The program recorded on Tuesday will not be aired until next Friday.
After two days of exams at school, after the current episode of "Entertainment Camp" is broadcast on Friday, a trailer for next week's program will be released.
Fortunately.
Fan Wumian was treated as a "mysterious rising star".
Even his face was covered with a bear pattern, so as not to reveal the true situation of album sales in advance.
The content in the trailer mainly includes his interaction with Zhang Hanyun when they were grabbing stools, as well as some clips of the lyrics chain game.
As for the media, it seems that they have not heard any news yet, and no relevant reports can be found on the Internet.
The profits involved are too great.
A small mistake may mean the gain or loss of millions of RMB.
Fan Wumian waited for more than two months and finally waited for an opportunity to get really rich. However, since the dust had not settled yet, he had no motivation to do anything for several days after recording the show.
It was around 7 o'clock on Sunday evening.
Zhuang Muxi's parents went to have dinner with colleagues from the company, and Fan Wumian came to visit her home again.
Because I know he is in love with the school beauty Zuo.
Recently, Zhuang Muxi only treats him as a friend. Although their relationship has become much closer, it is still in a state of more than friends but less than lovers.
We occasionally meet and say hello, and chat with each other via QQ or text messages.
At this moment.
After personally cutting the mango for Fan Wumian, Zhuang Muxi asked:
"You've grown a beard and your hair is a mess. Is studying tiring? The dream girl of all the boys in the school is tutoring you personally. Shouldn't it be very enjoyable?"
Although I want to pretend that I don't care.
But once these words came out, there was still a hint of sourness in the air.
Fan Wumian explained:
"It has nothing to do with studying and exams. I'm worried about how many albums I can sell after the show 'Entertainment Camp' is broadcast. This is the real big deal. It directly determines whether I can steer a Ferrari with one hand before I turn 19. I'm afraid of missing out on a lot of money."
Wearing a haze blue knitted thin sweater and a white short skirt, Zhuang Muxi said with a smile:
"I think I can understand your feelings. Two days before signing the contract with Coconut Tree, I was also worried that they would change their minds. With your singing level, it will definitely be a big hit, don't worry."
"It's not enough to just rely on big sales. We have to sell the genuine albums. Even if we sell a lot of fake albums, it won't really help me improve my life in the short term."
After saying that, he sighed.
Fan Wumian looked up and down at this beautiful neighbor, blinked his eyes, opened his arms, sighed again, and said:
"Now I wish someone could hug me, comfort me, and help me relax. I have to take my last optional geography exam tomorrow, and I'm worried that my brain will be blank by then."
Zhuang Muxi was not fooled and said with a smile:
"I noticed you're quite a troublemaker. Every time you come to my house, it's always bad news. But you already have a girlfriend."
"It's no big deal, just adding a pillow."
"."
Fan Wumian's words aroused all kinds of spring fantasies, and Zhuang Muxi felt that she was no longer innocent.
Seeing that she was beginning to lose focus, Fan Wumian clapped his hands and reminded her:
"It's tiring to hold your arms up. As a good brother, I'll just let you be a warm pillow. Is that not too much?"
Hesitate for two seconds.
Worse situations have happened before, and I thought it wouldn't be too much to just hug.
The good-tempered Zhuang Muxi didn't refuse after all, and only reminded her: "But you are not allowed to touch me again."
"Okay, I'll serve four."
"You said four again!"
As soon as Zhuang Muxi stretched out four fingers, Fan Wumian gently pulled her and she fell into his arms.
Because the posture is too ambiguous.
It was easy for her to think of the previous two times. Her heartbeat suddenly accelerated and she sighed inwardly, "What a scoundrel."
She did think about keeping some distance, but unfortunately Fan Wumian was too good at flirting.
The posture feels uncomfortable.
Fan Wumian used Zhuang Muxi's white thighs as a pillow, feeling so comfortable that he felt as if his soul had been sucked out of him. He said again:
"If I keep waiting like this, I feel like I'm going to die. Those big bosses have really strong mental qualities. How can they stay calm when investing hundreds of millions or even billions of dollars?"
Zhuang Muxi had already noticed that there was something wrong with where Fan Wumian was looking, so she just pretended nothing had happened and replied:
"Maybe they are used to it, just like the gamblers who lost all their chips in Macau, some people just like to enjoy the excitement. Don't worry, the population of the mainland is so large that there will always be people to support you. It seems that more than 3000 people have registered to join the fan club in Hong Kong."
Knowing that it was useless to be upset, Fan Wumian simply stopped thinking about it.
Lying on his side, he rubbed his face against Zhuang Muxi's legs. Although it was a bit shameless, it felt really good.
Out of selfishness.
Compared to Fan Wumian's great success, Zhuang Muxi actually hoped that he would succeed later.
Only in this way would he have a chance to avoid having his beloved toy snatched away by Miss Zuo. After all, it would be bad if the two of them started to get along well.
Subsequently.
Zhuang Muxi only then realized that when Fan Wumian was lying on his side facing her, the place he was looking at was even more wrong.
"Ah! We agreed to just hug, but you actually peeked at me, looked at me."
Too embarrassed to say it out loud, she pressed down her skirt with both hands.
"Tsk, the little fat bunny pattern is pretty cute. You can't blame me for this, it was just an accident. The bunny was the one who glared at me first."
Fan Wumian continued to lie flat.
Worried that the girl from Taiwan would get angry, he changed the subject and said:
"I thought of a new song these days, and I think it's pretty good. Do you want me to sing it for you?" "Okay, then you get up first."
"Sitting up will cause insufficient blood supply to the brain, making it easy to forget inspiration."
Because she was really curious about his new song, Zhuang Muxi suppressed her shyness and allowed him to continue resting his head on her lap, but she still did not release her hand that was holding down her skirt.
Fan Wumian said:
"This song is called "A Little Sweet". If you like it, I can give it to you."
------------
I finished my geography exam on Monday.
The next day, Fan Wumian was finally freed.
Because starting from Tuesday morning, the sales team led by Manager Shi Zhongzhi has been busy making phone calls and contacting old customers that they have accumulated before.
Through many distributors across the country, the news was released that the "Entertainment Camp" program in which Fan Wumian will participate will be broadcast this Friday, and Yaomei Culture has prepared a full 400 million albums for this purpose.
Distributors are in the record business all day long, and of course they know that sales will increase significantly in the short term after a singer appears on TV.
Fan Wumian’s previous albums had sold quite well, the only thing he lacked was fame.
Seeing that Fan Wumian was about to become famous and had received a promise that the products could be returned if they could not be sold, many dealers began to place additional orders for the goods. In just one morning, 21 pieces were wholesaled at an average price of around RMB 4.
The main reason for starting external wholesale in advance is the concern that logistics and transportation will take time.
If the show is broadcast and consumers cannot buy the album, it would obviously be a waste of this wave of popularity.
After all, the fame has not yet been established, and only old customers come to support it for now.
If an old customer introduces colleagues to buy goods, he can get a rebate of 1 cents per piece. That is to say, if he helps sell 1 pieces, he will get a referral fee of 1000 yuan.
Through this model.
That afternoon, more than 6 albums were sold. Someone introduced a strong distributor in Jiangsu, who wholesaled 4 albums at one time.
The wholesale volume for most of the day exceeded 30.
This number may seem very large, but considering the southwestern mountain city's population of 3140 million, even if only 1% of people choose to buy the album, sales will have a chance to exceed 30.
People like Tao Ge and Jay Chou said that the sales of genuine albums were two to three million, while the sales of counterfeit and pirated albums exceeded 1000 million. These are not exaggerated numbers.
Given the population size of the mainland, the potential market has always been extremely large, but traditional record companies cannot make money because their business has been snatched away by countless copycat dens with low prices.
Manager Shi Zhongzhi and his colleagues were busy, and Fan Wumian was not idle either.
With the help of his agent Jiang Shixi and public relations officer Ji Qiao, he sent press releases to numerous well-known mainstream media, took leave from school again, and busied himself with promotional activities.
An 18-year-old handsome high school student in Hong Kong, although a new and unpopular singer, has sold millions of copies of his self-produced albums and even participated in the recording of "Entertainment Camp".
This kind of news is so welcome.
Not long after the press release was sent out, Ji Qiao and Jiang Shixi received a large number of replies. They set the venue at a hotel in Shenzhen and helped Fan Wumian select eight mainstream media outlets for interviews.
Among them are news columns from Hubei Radio and Television and Shanghai Satellite TV, as well as mainstream newspapers and magazines such as the China Youth Daily, Southern Daily, and Huajing Times.
Time is too tight.
Tabloids that are not ranked as influential can only stand aside for the time being.
Originally, Fan Wumian could have started activities in the mainland a long time ago, but he kept it to himself until now in order to make a fortune quietly. Unexpectedly, it brought him extra benefits.
As soon as the album sales data was released, it immediately attracted the attention of many mainstream media, all hoping to grab the first wave of popularity.
Of course there is no money to be made from giving interviews.
Agent Jiang Shixi also gave out many small gifts and gave some red envelopes in the name of transportation and accommodation expenses.
Fan Wumian's identity as a "high school student in Hong Kong" obviously has considerable advantages.
After accepting one interview after another, the news soon appeared in newspapers. Several mainstream media reported it first, and then other local media of all sizes followed suit, and a trend also arose on the Internet.
in a blink.
Before "Entertainment Camp" was broadcast, Fan Wumian's fame had already spread.
After Hong Kong and Macau, he also became popular in mainland China.
Since there were not many goods in other places on the market, Yaomei Culture’s warehouse was well stocked, attracting countless dealers to flock in.
In just two days, more than 220 million albums were wholesaled, and the average factory price rose to around 4 yuan.
This wave of news has attracted much more attention than the previous one in Hong Kong, covering hundreds of millions of people.
The shelves of music and video stores across the country are short of the album of "That Girl". As long as there is stock on hand, there will obviously be no problem selling it.
The cooperating OEM factories and the small workshop in the garage are busy working overtime to catch up with production, with the total daily output being around 35 sheets.
There is no doubt that as soon as the news about Fan Wumian came out, many copycat dens have begun to follow suit and start production.
However, the needs of dealers are mostly met by Yaomei culture.
The wholesale price is also relatively reasonable, which means they are not very interested in copycat albums and prefer to purchase from Yaomei Culture.
From Tuesday to Friday.
Busy from morning till night all day, Fan Wumian was overwhelmed.
He stayed in a hotel in Shenzhen, and there were reporters waiting to interview him in the lobby from morning till night.
Take time to surf the Internet.
Fan Wumian was also surprised to find that the public intellectuals had also taken action and their fighting power was quite impressive.
Starting from education, culture, economy and other aspects, he tried every means to prove that it was because the overall environment of Hong Kong City was better that it could cultivate talents like him.
Brother Tao, who sang "The First Snow of 2002", was unlucky.
Due to the poor quality of the album, it finally managed to survive the recent period of hype, but was picked out and criticized again.
The song that was rated as the best is not as good as the worst song in the album "That Girl".
