Chapter 120 Ringtones are a big hit!

This is different from the previous practice of using internet trolls to post and force advertising.

Fan Wumian's number of fans has reached a certain base, and he already has a number of loyal fans who are quietly following his latest developments.

Especially many "face fans".

Because I liked his appearance, I helped to repost his pictures many times, which invisibly helped Fan Wumian increase his popularity and fame on the Internet.

The current situation is that his loyal fan base is generally young, and most of them are students.

As for the fans over 25 years old, most of them may like the songs in the album "That Girl", but they are not very interested in Fan Wumian himself.

The main reason is that there have been too many good songs in the past two years, and the Chinese music scene is simply crazy. Moreover, they are busy with work and life all day long and are no longer at the age where they like to chase stars.

This results in Fan Wumian's popularity in real life being lower than that of many veteran stars who have been famous for a long time.

However, it is very popular on the Internet.

Countless girls become crazy about him when he is mentioned, and chatter non-stop with their girlfriends.

Many businesses seized the opportunity.

Posters, small cards, stationery, dolls, etc. with Fan Wumian’s photos printed on them were sold around the school.

It quickly surpassed Jay Chou, Cai Linyi and others who had not yet claimed to be the strongest on the planet, and became the new "traffic code".

Richie Jen, the first-line singer who sang "Heart Too Soft" and is now out of fashion, had a certain income base from his early fans. He could not even schedule enough concert tours in the mainland and made a lot of money by giving concerts, taking on advertisements, and taking on acting jobs.

Due to the limited income from a single industry.

Nowadays, celebrities generally like to be "amphibious" or "triple-role", spanning the fields of music, film, and TV dramas.

After Ji Qiao helped share the free audio source of "Mai Ba" on Tieba, forums, and free music websites, it quickly attracted the attention of a group of fans.

Miss Lanli from Yaomei Culture, upon hearing the news from her colleagues, turned on her computer and went online.

She found a link on the homepage of the "Kugou" music website. The picture read: "The strongest new song of 2005, Fan Wumian's "Mai Ba" is coming!"

This small website, which was launched just last year, has quickly attracted millions of users by making money out of nothing and fleecing record companies.

Lanli held her chin with her hand, sat in front of the computer and clicked on the link.

I took a casual glance and found that the song was actually more than 20 minutes long. I was completely stunned, thinking it was another fake audio.

Only after the prelude was over and the singing was heard did Blue Oriole feel sure that he had not found the wrong song.

With great curiosity, she continued to listen, and then she found that there was something written behind the song title - (Fan Wumian's mobile ringtone collection, send the number "0707" to the operator to order more of your favorite ringtones.)
The same text is also embedded in the lyrics, and each paragraph is marked with the ringtone number and song title.

With the idea of ​​giving it a try.

Lanli picked up her mobile phone and sent a text message "0707" to China Mobile.

Soon I received two reply text messages, which displayed the names and numbers of all the ringtones sung by Fan Wumian, and prompted me to reply with a number to download and install the corresponding ringtone.

She prefers the song "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" that she just heard. This kind of fresh love song is very attractive to girls.

After replying with the corresponding digital number, I soon received a text message indicating that the ringtone was successfully installed. It showed that a 3 yuan fee would be charged for downloading the song, and the operator's ringtone service fee was 5 yuan per month.

I looked at the song progress bar on the computer screen again and it was only halfway through.
She already had a good impression of Boss Xiao Fan, and the songs in "Mai Ba" were all very good. Lan Li listened to the whole song in one breath and found it very memorable and amazing.

Then I borrowed a colleague's mobile phone to try it out, and found that the "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" ringtone had replaced the traditional "beep, beep" sound.

The albums are almost unsaleable recently, and the employees of Yaomei Culture are very idle.

After asking how to install ringtones, Lanli's accounting colleague went to listen to "Maiba" to find a ringtone he liked, and finally chose "Learn to Meow".

It's almost evening before get off work.

Almost everyone in the company has switched to ringtones, even the salespeople.

Similar examples abound.

It’s Yanjing again.

The temperature in early January was particularly cold, and there was a heavy snowfall in the afternoon.

Beijing Dance Academy.

Liu Shishi, a junior in the ballet department who recently finished her first role in her life, came to the dance studio wrapped in a thick down jacket.

Being able to film was just an accident. She was unexpectedly noticed by the director when she accompanied her classmate to an interview. Liu Shishi's dream now is still to become a ballet teacher.

When she came to the warm classroom with heating on, she skillfully stretched her legs and did the splits.

I found that several students took advantage of the teacher's absence to tinker with something in front of the computer and quickly changed the song.

A round-faced girl came over to stretch Liu Shishi's legs and said excitedly:
"The last time we went to buy an album, do you remember that handsome young man from Hong Kong named Fan Wumian? He released a new song that's over 20 minutes long. I heard other classmates mention it during class. They said a teacher played it for everyone in class and they were all stunned."

Liu Shishi also bought an album of Fan Wumian, so of course she had an impression of him.

Hearing this, he smiled faintly:
"What kind of song is so long? You'll probably pass out from exhaustion after singing it."

"So everyone is praising him for what he has done. The media said he made tens of millions and bought two villas next to the Shenzhen Golf Course."

After listening to my classmates.

Liu Shishi, who didn't pay much attention to these gossips, just thought he was really amazing. Although she had also filmed movies, she never thought of becoming an actor. It was more like an accidental part-time job.

Soon, some students noticed the product placement in the lyrics and rushed to download ringtones on their phones.

Liu Shishi was no exception and chose "Fairy Tale Town" as her ringtone.

In the evening, a roommate called and asked her to bring food. She also asked Liu Shishi which song her ringtone was.
One pass ten, ten pass a hundred.

That evening, some mainland media, after learning about the song "Mic Master" based on the press release sent by Ji Qiao, specifically mentioned Fan Wumian in the news.

Comments say that this super long new song has a strange magic.

After all, he is one of the most popular new singers at the moment, so the telecommunications operator was quite respectful to him. When they found out that his total sales for a single day exceeded one million RMB, they helped Fan Wumian with a special promotion the next day.

Not only did they post his ringtone information on the official website's homepage, they also sent text messages to mobile phone users throughout Dongguan to test the waters, attracting countless people to try out these ringtones.

Following the album and endorsement, mobile phone ringtones also became popular.

When Fan Wumian received the news, he had already returned to Hong Kong to continue preparing for the crew.

Just the day after "Mai Ba" was launched.

He also learned from his agent Jiang Shixi that a Mercedes-Benz general agent in the mainland helped him obtain an SLK 350 from the parent company.

The market value is about RMB 80, but we need to cooperate with them in finding media for publicity and participate in several auto shows to be held this year.

The remuneration is equivalent to 80 yuan, and the person has to do both publicity and platform work, and the reward is just a not very practical sports car.

On the other hand, the Jaguar watch that Zuo Ziyan helped find can bring in a total profit of 700,000 to 800,000 Hong Kong dollars just by wearing the watch in public.

After a brief consideration.

I feel like I have enough confidence to bargain with brands.

Knowing that car companies are wealthy, they are quite generous to film and television companies.

Fan Wumian asked Jiang Shixi to renegotiate with the other party and wanted to change to a Mercedes-Benz G-Class SUV, or look for other brands, and tell them that they can have the car appear in their movie for promotion, limiting the scope to million-level luxury cars such as the Land Rover Range Rover and Mercedes-Benz G-Class.

This is not because we don't want to support domestic products, but the quality is still a bit disappointing.
------------

As soon as “Mic Master” was released, it became popular all over the Internet in the blink of an eye.

After receiving sufficient publicity and exposure, the sales of Fan Wumian’s ringtones increased dramatically.

Since it can help telecommunications operators make money, the operators continue to invest more resources in promotion. Even if you raise yaks on the southwestern plateau, you can still receive SMS version of ringtone advertisements.

Just one week.

The “Best-selling Ringtones List” on the official websites of telecommunications operators has undergone a major change.

Only the top 50 were counted and announced, among which there were 14 ringtones of Fan Wumian.

Nine of them made it into the top 9, and the most popular one was "Learn to Meow", which reached the 30th place on the best-selling list with millions of downloads.

Next are "Little Lucky", "Damn Tenderness", "Fairy Tale Town", "That Girl" and "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star", all of which have received more than 60 orders and downloads.

Although it did not create the "ringtone myth" like "The First Snow of 2002" with single downloads approaching million times.

But Fan Wumian has a lot of ringtones.

The total number of orders in one week exceeded 650 million, and it was a huge success in the ringback tone market. According to the - profit-sharing agreement signed with telecommunications operators, the dividend amount was close to million yuan.

The quality was already good; what it lacked previously was simply publicity and promotion. With the joint advertising efforts of “Mai Ba” and telecommunications operators, it became a natural hit.

There was also news from the media.

It was said that some parents complained about random deductions for ringtones, and after investigation they found out it was their own children who were responsible, so they helped change their ringtones.

It’s really a hot spot, the speed of making money is astonishing.

Immersed in the baptism of sudden wealth, Fan Wumian has endless energy every day.

Once again, I experienced the joy of those days when Yaomei Culture was crowded with distributors and was frantically selling albums wholesale.

September 1th, Saturday.

Trinity College has not started its winter break yet.

Zhuang Muxi had already taken leave in advance and came to the crew of "A Quiet Place" to participate in a small opening ceremony.

The table was covered with red cloth, on which were placed roasted lamb, roasted suckling pig, roasted chicken, apples, etc., as well as statues of Guan Gong, candles, incense burners, etc.

After burning the incense.

Looking at the representatives of the twenty or thirty media outlets in front of him, as well as a group of fans who had come specially for him, Fan Wumian said with regret:
"It's a pity that many mainland reporters can't come, otherwise it would be twice as lively. The roasted whole lamb is so delicious. Do you like lamb legs or lamb chops? The roasted suckling pig seems to be good too."

Zhuang Muxi was curious about all this. She stood next to him in a loose red sweater and asked in a low voice:

"Is it okay to eat the tribute?"

"Otherwise, I bought them from the restaurant with my own money. I can just heat them up and eat them later."

I was too busy in the morning to have time to eat.

Fan Wumian swallowed his saliva and added:

"The great camera god won't care about these small details. Don't be nervous, just show the state we rehearsed a few days ago. After we finish eating, we can try shooting a short clip this afternoon."
