Chapter 422 Using 5 Performance Cards
Chapter 422 Using Fifteen Performance Cards
Han Yan directly switched to WeChat, found Wu Mu's Weibo, and began typing, "Brother, is your new Japanese album on sale? Is there no promotion?"
Um! ?
Zhang Li looked at her best friend in surprise.
How can you be so bold.
Just ask directly if you have something to ask?
And looking at the chat history, we also talked about it the day before yesterday.
Aren’t you afraid of being blocked for harassing your idol like this?
Han Yan raised her head proudly, "What are you afraid of? With his personality, if he feels annoyed, he will definitely say it directly. He didn't say it, which means he doesn't feel annoyed."
That makes sense.
Zhang Li was silent for half a second, then spoke again, "Brother, you are two years older than him."
Han Yan blushed a little now, "I'm just being polite."
You'd better really just be polite.
Zhang Li glanced at her and snorted, "You licker."
Wu Mu replied quickly, "Well, it was launched this morning, but there was not much publicity."
You didn't do much publicity. You didn't do any publicity at all!
The two turned their attention back to the album and were both speechless.
They even found out about this through their black fans.
How could this person be so outrageous? It would be fine if he didn’t promote it in China, but why didn’t he promote it abroad either?
The anti-fan group has also figured out what’s going on.
The same confusion.
"That bastard is crazy. He has fans in China so he doesn't need to promote himself. But if he doesn't promote himself abroad, who will know him? Does he still count on his stupid Sakura girl?"
"Do you really think you are an international star? You must be stupid after seeing the sales figures."
"Everyone, go hype this bastard up and let the outside world see what a so-called future international superstar looks like, so that some brainless fans on the Internet won't keep exaggerating that he has the potential to become an international superstar."
"Yeah, I'm sick of seeing all those people bragging about it online. That bastard wants to be an international superstar?"
The haters subconsciously want to stir up the heat of the matter.
They would spare no effort in doing anything that could bring disaster to Wu Mu.
If this piece of news gets hyped up, at least it can deal a severe blow to that person's momentum to become a national superstar.
An international superstar, that’s it?
However, the leader of the black fan group immediately came out to stop him, "Don't spread it out, wait until the first week is over, so as not to add to his popularity."
The black fans will also learn lessons. For projects that are about to become popular, it’s fine. They will be popular anyway, and if they go out to make trouble, the most they will do is lose face.
For a project that is obviously going to fail, we should not try to hype it up anymore. This has happened many times before, when a project that didn't seem to work out was promoted too early by the team members, and it ended up making it more popular.
The haters remained silent this time.
But of course it is impossible that there is no news about this kind of thing outside.
When Wu Mu received Han Yan's message, he opened Weibo and saw that there were already many inquiries below the Weibo post.
"Is Wu Gou's new Japanese album online? Why do I see someone posting it on Little Bluebird?"
"Yes, I saw it on Little Bluebird too. A fan of Wu Gou on Little Bluebird specifically recommended it to everyone, saying that a limited edition photo album would be unlocked when sales reached 300,000."
"I just came back from watching it. How come the sales volume is only over 30,000?"
"30,000 sales on the first day, if it was someone else, I would say it's okay, but if it was Noon Dog. No, is that all?"
"30,000 sales, 30 RMB per ticket, less than 900,000 in total? Not even a fraction of Noon Dog's usual sales. Didn't everyone say Noon Dog's debut in Japan was a big hit?"
"It seems that there is no publicity. You didn't see any Weibo or Twitter posts."
Shu Mei, who was standing next to him, was also reading the comments on Weibo. Her face was also filled with worry. "Brother, the sales volume on the first day was only 30,000. If the news continues like this, it will actually be bad news when it gets back to China."
If the performance is good, then the news back to China will be another proof of his path to becoming an Asian superstar.
But if the performance is not good, it will be a bit troublesome. Once the news is sent back to China, it may turn the previous momentum into a joke.
The concept of developing into an international superstar, which had previously become a vague consensus among everyone, was about to be shattered.
Shi Wu at the side couldn't help but speak up, "Boss, we still have time to adjust our investment in publicity. Even if the initial data is not good, we will still have a chance to recover later."
But Wu Mu shook his head and said, "It's okay, that's it, I'll just post a tweet and Weibo to promote it."
what?
The Shiwu people are all stupid.
Is your Twitter and Weibo promotion a powerful means of publicity?
It’s already like this, what’s the point of just posting on Twitter or Weibo to promote it?
Well, Twitter and Weibo promotion is really useless.
But what if we add Tongzi?
Wu Mu opened his system panel.
When he issued it today, he hadn't used the performance card at all.
He deliberately waited for a day, mainly because he wanted to see what the situation would be like in Japan without using the performance card, and how Tongzi would increase the volume for him after using the performance card.
He looked at the number of his performance cards.
[Performance Card (19 million) x1, Profit Card ( million) x]
Nineteen performance cards can be said to be a lot.
After Wu Mu thought about it for a while, he kept 19 of the 4 performance cards as backup and directly used 15 of them, which means a total of 1.5 million yuan, on the new album.
[Should I use the performance card for the album "Loser"? ]
【Yes. 】
Watching the performance card in the prop column turn into golden light and disappear, Wu Mu took out his mobile phone and started posting on Weibo and Twitter.
First, Weibo.
Wu Mu Evolution: "My Japanese album has been released. It is on the Japanese LINE music platform. It is not available in China for the time being. We have to wait until it is available on the domestic platform later."
Then there's Twitter.
Wu Mu Evolution: "My Japanese album "Loser" is on sale. If you like it, you can go and listen to it. I solemnly remind you to buy rationally and support it. Buying one copy is enough. If you have strong financial strength and are willing to pay a premium for your hobbies, you are also welcome, but please do not make any irrational purchases. Those who do not make irrational purchases are fools."
what?
No, you tweet these.
Shu Meiren, who was watching on the side, fainted.
Now is the time when we need fans from Japan to boost sales, and you come out and pour cold water on us?
And you call me an idiot!?
Shi Wu was also speechless. Is it sure that this publicity will not only have negative effects?
There was no hope.
Shi Wu sighed secretly in his heart, thinking that he was afraid he would suffer a blow this time.
He just hoped that after suffering this blow, the boss would be a little more restrained and not be too free.
Naturally, Wu Mu’s publicity soon caused a huge response.
The first is domestic.
Domestic audiences originally didn’t know that Wu Mu’s new album had been released.
After all, there was no publicity before.
Now that Wu Mu posted this Weibo, everyone knew about it at once.
Then after digging deeper, we found that the sales volume on the first day was just over 30,000. Is that so bad?
Everyone was shocked and puzzled, including some people in the industry who had just learned about it.
Besides being surprised, some of Mu's opponents at noon were so happy that they ate two more bowls of rice.
That's it, it's better to collapse a little, and it's better to never recover from it.
Next is overseas. In fact, there are also many people abroad who don’t know that Wu Mu’s new album is on sale.
For example, Wu Mu’s Japanese fan, Anko Sasaki, didn’t know.
Anko Sasaki looked at Wu Mu's new tweet in surprise.
Wu Mujun’s new album is on sale?
Why doesn't she know?
The promotion of Line Music is really a drop in the bucket. Many people don't have Line Music on their phones at all. In Japan's digital music platform market, Apple Music and Spotify are the two largest.
Line Music can't even be ranked third, it should be ranked fourth or fifth.
In addition, Wu Mu’s new album was released too quietly.
Normally, when a Japanese singer releases a new album, there is a complete process, from pre-promotion on social platforms, to the release of the MV on video streaming platforms, to single auditions on TV music programs and radio magazines, to pre-sales in offline physical record stores, autograph sessions, and even fan handshake meetings, etc.
Basically ensuring that anyone who pays attention gets to know the news.
But as a fan, she had no idea that Wu Mu’s new album was out!
And isn’t the second half of Wu Mujun’s tweet a bit inappropriate?
"Kiki-chan's words are really too harsh." Anko Sasaki muttered.
Well, Kiki-chan is Wu Mu’s new nickname in Japan. While he was recording an album in China during this period, his Japanese fans were not idle and were very active on Twitter.
His Japanese fans felt that calling him Wu Mu-kun was not intimate enough, and Wu Mu's Japanese name is goki, so everyone just called him kiki. And "jiang" is the Japanese name for people who are close to each other, and it can be used by both men and women, so together it becomes kiki-chan, which means Mu Mu-chan.
Sasaki Anko could probably see that her idol Wu Mu was advising everyone to consume rationally.
But the tone is too harsh!
How can you just say that all irrational people are stupid?
So if you spend more money you get scolded, right?
Whether you are a rational consumer or not, it is easy to have a bad impression and feel that your investment is not valued.
Anko Sasaki couldn't help but click on the comment section under the Twitter post, wanting to see what everyone was saying.
Well, the comments under Twitter are generally okay.
"Although Kiki's words were harsh, she was still concerned about everyone. It's great that you like Kiki."
"Please don't blame Kiki-chan. It was those Chinese viewers who hurt Kiki-chan so deeply. Sometimes the words of concern are a bit too harsh."
A lot of people made excuses for Wu Mu.
When Anko Sasaki thought about the harm that Chinese audiences had done to their idol, she couldn't help but nod in her heart.
Yes, it’s all because of those Chinese audiences!
She continued to look down.
"Why are the sales of Kiki's new album so low? It's been on sale for a day, and the sales are only 32,000?"
"Is the Oricon statistics wrong? How come Kiki-chan is ranked 16th on the Japanese list?"
what?
Anko Sasaki was shocked. The album has been on sale for a day?
And the sales volume is only 32,000?
The sky is falling!
She is such a great idol, and Mumu-chan is such a great singer, but her album sales are so low! ?
Are the songs in the album not up to par?
She quickly downloaded LINE music, wanting to listen to the quality of the songs in her idol's new album.
Soon, she downloaded it and found her idol's album page.
"Eh, just 600 yen?"
She was a little surprised. This price was very cheap, just the price of a bowl of ramen.
She simply didn't even bother to try it out and just paid first.
And I bought five of them at once!
Well, if you spend money on five bowls of ramen, you can't be stupid, right?
Sasaki Anko thought with a little guilt.
If it weren't for the idol's tweet, she felt that she could definitely use some of her saved pocket money to buy it!
Because of the low price and such small sales volume.
Originally, Anko Sasaki was somewhat unconfident about her idol's songs, and suspected that except for "Loser", the others were just for show.
but.
"I don't want to be separated from you until the end of the world. I have made wishes for you thousands of nights."
Rock?
Nice sound, like it!
"I have been looking for you, hoping to see you somewhere, on the opposite platform, or in the window deep in the alley."
Lyrical ballad?
So affectionate, so loving!
"At the age of fifteen, I had troubles that I couldn't tell anyone."
Pop piano?
So warm, she was just fifteen years old! Was it written for her?
adore!
"Somewhere deep in my heart, I'm always calling out and having heart-warming dreams."
Anko Sasaki listened to all the songs one by one.
Then he looked up suddenly, his face full of surprise.
Japanese audiences are going crazy! ?
Oh my god.
An album with seven songs of this quality, and only sold for 600 yen, with only 32,000 sales! ! ?
Everyone who learned about Wu Mu’s album through Twitter and then went to listen to the songs was stunned.
An album of this quality, at this price, and you tell me it only sold for 32,000?
Not to mention ranking sixteenth on the daily list, ranking sixteenth on the annual list is enough!
For an album of this quality, which one can compete on the daily chart today! ?
All doubts about the quality of the song were dispelled.
The quality of this album is unquestionable.
But why did an album of this quality only sell so few copies?
No one can figure it out.
Then various pieces of information were revealed bit by bit.
It turns out that this album had no promotion at all.
Posting a tweet is the only publicity.
Everyone was stunned, and suddenly it seemed like being able to sell for more than 30,000 was already quite impressive.
Everyone in modern times knows that no matter how good the quality of something is, it still needs publicity.
It is not surprising that there are no sales without publicity.
Everyone thought so, and then they learned a new piece of news.
It turns out that this was not the first time their idol had done this. He did the same thing with his previous album in China. He did not promote it at all and just posted a Chinese Twitter account.
This person has this kind of personality.
Then there is a problem.
He did this in China and sold 10 million albums.
He did this in Japan and the album sold 30,000 copies.
Then, their Japanese fans have been advocating to expel the idol’s Chinese fans from the fan club, thinking that they should be the ones to protect the best Kiki-chan in the world.
In other words, the Chinese fans who advocated expulsion from the fan club supported with 10 million votes, and the fans who vowed to protect the best brother in the world supported with 30,000 votes.
This is really the end of the world!
