It has been three days since the pre-sale started. Chi Jingyuan has been busy these days and has no time to care. When I just checked my phone, I saw that many people on the Internet were guessing about the sales. I just happened to ask by the way.

.

There are many guesses on the Internet, ranging from 500,000 to 800,000 to 1 million... However, if the company does not announce the pre-sale data and the unsold list is not displayed, it can basically only be

It relies on the fans’ own statistics, and the accuracy is average.

"Another big order was placed in the morning. Our latest pre-sale data is now 1.53 million..."

Upon hearing this, the director reported the numbers without even looking at the information in front of him, with a smile on his face, looking excited and proud.

"So many?" Chi Jingyuan stopped writing in his hand after hearing this number, and opened his eyes in surprise.

It has only been on sale for three days now, and there is still one week left before the official release. He thought that no matter how popular it was, it would be enough to have 801,000,000.

Unexpectedly, it was only 1.5 million, which was almost half of what he expected.

"Indeed, Jingyuan, the market potential of your album is very large, and it has exceeded our previous expectations. Especially the orders from the mainland...According to EXO's past data, even though it has a broad and solid popularity base in the mainland,

The lost data will only occupy about one-third of the album at most."

The room director looked at the materials in front of him and spoke in a high-spirited tone:

"But the enthusiasm and market potential of Jingyuan's mainland fans this time completely exceeded our expectations. Among the current 1.5 million pre-sales, excluding nearly 100,000 neon singles and 160,000 overseas singles, the mainland

The sales volume of the Chinese version is only 15% lower than that on the Peninsula, but according to our data, many Korean version orders on the Peninsula are purchased by mainland fans, so the data on both sides should be almost the same.

If you look closely, the winning and losing rates may even be higher..."

"Currently, the highest number of pre-orders are for the two covers of 'Summer' and 'Winter', followed by 'Autumn' and 'Spring'. Finally, because the four CD-only songs have not been released to the public, we analyzed that it may be because of the cover design.

, the colors of the summer and winter covers are more pleasing and the design is stronger.”

"Although the potential of album sales is surprising, the revenue from sales actually does not account for the majority... It is a pity not to be able to move. But I have to say that Jingyuan's suggestion of adding Chinese versions and Chinese songs has really paid off.

It has a very good effect, and there is also this four-cover and four-song-only CD setting, tsk tsk..."

He was a little impressed and sighed with pity, but he quickly cheered up: "...Although the initial outbreak of the first three days has passed and the growth has slowed down a bit, according to this momentum, after the official release of the No. 10 album

, the pre-sale sales alone are likely to reach 3 million, which is the highest pre-sale and highest-selling album in the entire history of Kpop."

"However, Ai Hui sent us news that your solo album this time only has Chinese and Korean versions, but no Japanese version. Many fans are very dissatisfied and feel that they are being treated differently."

At the end of the sentence, the room manager also said a message in a joking tone, took out his mobile phone and read: "This is a message from a Neon fan: 'Don't we pay real money? Is our love for Yuan?

Is it fake? Why is there no Japanese version? 'Oh, it seems that Jingyuan is also very popular in Neon."

"Uh...we haven't discussed it before. If the response is good, we are going to launch the Japanese version immediately...we can only wait for a while."

Chi Jingyuan laughed bitterly when he heard this. He felt very relieved but also a little helpless. He paused and repeated the number he just heard, and murmured:

"Is the loss so high?"

Hearing the report and analysis made by the director just now, he was a little surprised, but also full of excitement. In addition to thanking the fans there for their support, he also felt a sense of reward for getting what he wanted.

This pre-sale has already surpassed that of the EXO group.

You must know that such a large solo group is completely rare, unless it is the kind of group that has little popularity as a whole and whose popularity is concentrated on one person.

But EXO is the TOP among the TOP.

In fact, it is really difficult to make money just by selling albums. Channels and manufacturers will take the lion's share. Not much actually falls into the hands of idols or even companies. As many mainland fans have said, they cannot go to the mainland now.

With the activities going on, there are very few agencies and idols in Kpop who are still insisting on releasing Chinese versions of their albums, and even SM and EXO are gradually giving up.

In fact, his move to join the Chinese version in his first solo against all the opinions and to specifically add Chinese songs was not pleasing. But now after hearing the pre-sale data and the enthusiasm of mainland fans, Chi Jingyuan

I feel extremely satisfied and feel that my previous decision was not in vain...

And if the album can no longer make money, it will naturally be different when the number increases... At the same time, the huge number of album sales also represents his widespread popularity and fan purchasing power in the mainland. Although he cannot go to events, this data can become a factor in the future.

He is relied upon by some advertising brands for evaluation and negotiation.

"Thanks for your hard work."

When his thoughts returned, Chi Jingyuan smiled and politely said thank you to the staff.

The topic of sales made the atmosphere in the entire conference room lively. Even though SM has a big business and its artists have idols one after another, being able to personally participate and operate a piece of music that is destined to shine in KPOP history

Everyone is very excited and motivated about the album.

Immediately afterwards, everyone reported on some matters regarding their upcoming return:

"The album will go on sale and the music source will be released at midnight on the 10th. All promotional resources have been invested. The cooperative media and marketing accounts will launch their efforts at the same time."

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Jingyuan, your first stage has been confirmed to be on the 10th of "Music Bank", and you will go to pre-record the stage on the 8th... At the same time, the organizer invites you to be the host of the 10th episode.

The special MC of "Sound Silver" is still collaborating with Irene xi, and recently red velvet is also making a comeback."

"I can make a cameo in the middle...but it's okay if I'm a special MC,"

"Okay... Also, your personal variety show "Private Travel. Yuan" will be officially launched tomorrow on Naver TV, Facebook, YouTube, Naver V live channels and partner TV stations, and then it will be broadcast once a week.

The frequency of the issue is delivered every week.”

"The content of the first and second issues is a warm-up, just enough to raise fans' expectations. The hottest content of the MV shooting in the United States will be in the third issue. It will be just one week after the song is released, which can maximize the album's popularity..."

"Then there are fan meetings, autograph sessions, and personal concerts..."

Each department head took turns to stand up and report on their work, and the whole conference room seemed very lively... Chi Jingyuan also listened carefully. SM staff are actually elites in the industry. Many things are arranged well, and many things are not.

Chi Jingyuan needs to think too much, they are actually more experienced than him...

The meeting ended after more than an hour. At this point, everything for the half month before and after the comeback has been arranged. Now we are waiting for the official release on the 10th, and will make adjustments based on the sales situation and market response.

"That's right, brother."

After the meeting, Chi Jingyuan left the meeting room with the head of the marketing department and walked and chatted. After saying a few words, he remembered something and asked with concern: "How was the response to red velvet's comeback this time?"

"Red Velvet? It's not bad. The sales volume has improved a lot compared to last time. It has already sold more than 40,000 copies in the first three days of release. It has smoothed out the impact of last year. The popularity has steadily increased and is in line with the company's expectations."

The head of the room paused for a moment, then replied in a very skillful manner, shaking his head slightly as he spoke: "But their original advantage area... there are some problems with the sound source. The results of the airborne song release are still very good, and they are empty once an hour, but

It's a pity that he was surpassed immediately. Zion.T has a good reputation in music. The impact of being hit by this kind of heavy fog is not small. In addition, Jingyuan, you are about to return... Let's watch the follow-up songs and

Spread the word.”

Although there are many idol groups releasing songs recently, it is difficult to see them at the top of the music charts. The current situation on the music charts is the new album "OO" by singer Zion.T who became popular with the "Infinite Challenge Music Festival" the year before last.

Strongly clearing the charts, at the same time, the OSTs of "Goblin" that were offline before are still strong.

Although red velvet's new song sound source is very high based on its previous reputation, its subsequent performance has been mediocre under the attack of these two parties. In addition, the company has high hopes for Ji Jingyuan's return soon. From the tone of the room manager, it seems

I don't feel very optimistic.

But overall it's an improvement compared to last time, so it's easy to use.

"Oh~"

Chi Jingyuan nodded lightly when he heard this. After thinking for a while, he didn't ask any more questions and said goodbye to the room chief.

He was about to go to the practice room to practice the stage. Just as he stepped out of the elevator, his phone suddenly rang. Chi Jingyuan picked it up and scanned it... Zhou Ziyu sent a text message.

"Dafa, I read on the Internet that your solo album is selling very well. Someone came up with data and predicted that the pre-sale volume is almost 1 million? Congratulations. (New Year's greetings from Xiaoyu)"

Although Zhou Ziyu expressed congratulations and blessings and seemed very happy for Chi Jingyuan, he saw her purpose at a glance and ignored the flattery and circumvention at all, and replied angrily:

"You have something to say."

And Zhou Ziyu obviously knew that Chi Jingyuan knew how to see through her at a glance, so he didn't feel embarrassed. Instead, he quickly confessed in the next second: "I want to watch the movie..."Your Name"!"

"Why do you suddenly want to see this?"

"When I was doing a V Live broadcast the day before yesterday, a lot of people were saying 'your name, your name'. I thought they were really asking for my name, so I replied, 'My name is Zhou Ziyu, my name is Zhou Ziyu'

, I said it several times, and I was quite happy that so many new fans came in... But my manager reminded me later that I realized that was the name of the movie, which made me extremely embarrassed."

"Later I searched it and found that it is a very romantic animated movie. The reviews online are very good. I want to watch it."

"Then go and see for yourself."

"No, I want to watch it with you!"

"I watched it...I watched it with Xiaonan."

"Hmph, I guessed it (pouts), but it doesn't matter, can we just watch it again?"

"You want to see it that much?"

"Of course, I also like watching movies very much... And you see, we haven't even been together yet, and I'm already on the same level as her. Will we still be together in the future? (laughing)"

After Chi Jingyuan saw her reply, he couldn't help but laugh out loud. He curled his lips and spoke mercilessly:

"Tzuyuxi, you can dream."

"Then why don't you follow me?"

"I'm going to release a song soon. I probably won't have time these days...it'll take a while."

"Okay!...Also, congratulations on your solo debut, I will hear it immediately...This time I am not saying it just to beat around the bush!"

Chi Jingyuan looked at the text message and hummed. Thinking of what she just said, he raised the corner of his mouth and tapped the screen: "Your name, your name."

"My name is Zhou Ziyu. My name is Zhou Ziyu."
