Chapter 415 Did you sell the house?
Xiao Sang stayed up late watching short videos and smiled at the netizens' praise for him.
He stayed up late until midnight.
Nothing else, just to increase the sales of his own college's album.
The college's songs are listed on major music platforms in the form of albums.
The name of the album is called "Loneliness is Singing"!
Buying the whole album costs 50 RMB.
You can also buy songs separately, 3 RMB per song.
As soon as 12 o'clock passed.
The song that was still looping in my ears was immediately paused.
Xiao Sang turned on the screen, and the NetEase Cloud Music he used issued a prompt: "The song is a paid song, please purchase it before listening to it..."
"This song belongs to the digital album "Loneliness is Singing", and the whole album can be purchased directly at a discount price."
"You can also buy the song separately."
"After purchasing, users will obtain the permanent right to listen to the album."
Looking at the prompt, Xiao Sang chose to buy the whole album without hesitation.
Although 50 RMB is not a lot, there are 20 songs, and each song costs 2.5 RMB on average.
After the purchase, the song can continue to play.
In the large group, many students also posted screenshots of their album purchases.
Every music student is particularly looking forward to the sales of the song.
So until midnight, the group was still lively.
Even Xiao Sang couldn't help but keep thinking about it in his mind and couldn't sleep at all.
What if the audience didn't pay and just wanted to get it for free and leave after having fun?
Then he thought that if the sales were higher than he expected, he would be rich.
My father no longer had to be depressed because of his illness and spent all his savings.
My mother no longer had to frown all day.
My brother no longer had to run around for marriage.
I was simply the savior of this family.
Thinking of this, Xiao Sang, who was worried about gains and losses, couldn't help rolling around on the bed.
...
It's not just the students majoring in music who are looking forward to sales.
Many self-media, netizens, and music industry practitioners on the Internet are paying attention to sales and guessing how much sales will be on the first day.
I feel that it will definitely exceed one million.
Some people also think that it is difficult to achieve good results.
Especially those in the music industry are not optimistic.
After all, the domestic Internet environment is like this. The free model is prevalent, and it is difficult to get ordinary listeners to pay.
Only the king of the music scene, or some young singers with many fans, are qualified to sell albums and have fans to buy them.
Other singers who charge for it are completely courting death.
Although the songs of the students of Xingchen Academy are of good quality,
But where do the fans come from for a group of students?
It feels difficult to achieve good sales results.
...
However, compared with those pessimistic voices.
Most netizens are particularly recognized for the albums of Xingchen Music students.
On short video platforms, you can often see netizens posting screenshots of their own purchases of albums on this day.
And there are many related discussions.
"I like all these songs by Xingchen students, so I might as well just buy the album."
"I also bought the album, not for anything else, just because the song "He Must Love You" sings about my past."
"Why do I feel that the guy upstairs is a bit miserable, did he hide under the bed at the time? Can you v me 50?"
"I didn't buy the album, fifty yuan is still money, I can't bear to spend it. But the song "Light Love Story" is more and more interesting the more I listen to it, so I bought this song!"
"Me too, I only bought the songs I like the most..."
"Always Very Quiet is really nice, I really like this girl Xiao Sang!"
"Actually, it's worth buying it, you can listen to it anytime after buying it, you don't have to sign up for membership every time, it saves money and worry."
"I also bought the album, but I don't like to listen to these dog-licking songs, mainly to support Xingchen music students, they can write such sincere songs in their freshman year, then when they graduate, won't the domestic music scene take off directly?"
It can be seen that because the music quality is good and can move people, plus the singers are a group of students
A considerable number of netizens chose to support, or buy albums, or buy singles.
And at eight o'clock the next morning.
When major platforms announced the sales of Xingchen Academy's albums and singles yesterday.
The whole network was shocked.
The total sales of Xingchen Academy's albums on the three major platforms added up to one million.
A fifty-yuan album, that's 50 million yuan a day.
It was absolutely shocking to the entire music festival.
After all, except for a few young and handsome guys who obviously brushed the charts, and the real top music kings.
There is no singer's album that can sell a million in one day.
Even if the three major music platforms are added together, it is scary enough.
But this is not the most shocking thing for netizens.
Because the number of people who buy singles is ten times more than the number of people who buy albums.
Xingchen Music students' singles.
Cumulative sales of 40 million copies on major platforms.
The most popular songs on QQ Music are "Always Quiet" and "Over the Top".
The sales of singles on QQ Music have exceeded 3 million.
The most popular songs on NetEase Cloud Music are "Light-Moving Love Story" and "He Must Love You Very Much".
The sales of both songs exceeded 2 million.
The second is Kugou Music, and the most popular song is "Perfume is Poisonous", with sales of 3 million on a single platform.
The song with the highest first-day sales across all platforms was "Always Quiet."
The combined sales of the three platforms exceeded 5 million.
"It's Been Quiet" is not necessarily the highest quality song on the entire album.
But because Xiao Sang is the most popular among the students.
At the same time, "Always Quiet" is the closing song. At the end, the live broadcast had the largest number of online viewers.
So it is the most popular.
When the total score of five million came out, it undoubtedly shocked the entire network.
Selling five million copies of a song in a single day is simply outrageous.
Most importantly, that’s not even counting album sales.
If you add in the album's one million, that's a full six million.
If this continues to gain popularity for a few more days, wouldn’t it be possible that it could exceed 10 million?
For a time, the entire Internet was full of related discussions.
Countless netizens are exclaiming that Xingchen music students are outrageous.
As for those in the music industry, they were shocked and extremely sour.
After all, they are professionals.
The songs of Star Students do have merit.
But when it comes to top level, it's definitely not on the level.
However, the bonus of being a student of Xingchen and the bonus of various attentions helped this song achieve results that many first-line singers cannot achieve.
It could even be higher.
It's sour, it's really sour...
It feels like the music industry is really going to change with the entry of Star Academy.
How does Star Academy teach students?
From film and television to games, and now to music, how come all the students you teach are so good?
But I was shocked and envious.
They also had bold ideas.
The sales of Xingchen Music Students’ album this time prove that music sales in China are not a dead end.
Not only kings or little fresh meat are qualified to play.
If this is the case, should they try it in the future?
In the past, they didn't dare to gamble and only wanted to get a royalties from the music platform.
But now, they are also thinking about whether to follow the example of Star Academy and adopt the song sales model.
After all, this model can involve more users and bring greater fame to itself.
Secondly, it is more promising.
If the song becomes popular, they don't need to sell millions, as long as there are hundreds of thousands of songs, then they can make a lot of money.
In short, it’s because of the hot sales of this batch of songs by Star Students.
Many musicians in the country have other ideas...
…
And among the large group of Xingchen music students.
It’s already as lively as if it’s the Chinese New Year.
Countless students were sending fireworks emoticons in the group.
Taking off with cheers.
It’s no wonder the students were so excited, the main reason was that this result really exceeded the students’ expectations.
Originally, the students were just thinking about one million sales and it took off.
What's the result now?
Album sales alone exceeded one million.
Almost all singles have sold in the millions.
Even the most popular ones range from three to four million to five million.
It's incredible.
This achievement made them proud.
It can make them confident to say that I am a music major in Xingchen and I am no weaker than others!
In addition to that sense of accomplishment and pride.
What also excites students is naturally the money they can get.
The worst songs have sold millions of singles, plus millions of album sales.
Students who participate can easily earn at least tens of thousands of RMB.
And if you participate in the creation of enough songs.
It's not impossible to make hundreds of thousands.
This is definitely a huge sum of money for students.
It can make their summer vacation rich and colorful.
After all, the teacher said before the holiday that after the sales results come out, the college will advance money and give everyone rewards.
While the students were full of excitement, they still had expectations in their eyes.
I look forward to the songs they release achieving better results.
After all, today is only the first day.
In the next few days, even if it is not as popular as the first day, it can still rise.
And on the second day, the heat really dropped a lot.
Album sales across all platforms are 400,000.
Total single sales dropped to eight million.
Over the next few days, the gains became lower and lower.
Some less popular songs may only sell one or two thousand songs on all platforms every day.
The increase basically comes from the most popular songs.
But on the sixth day.
Xingchen Music major once again topped the list of most searched topics.
Because on this day.
The total sales of one song exceeded 10 million!
"always quiet"!
It has been very quiet and its single sales across all platforms exceeded 8 million.
The total sales of the album across all platforms exceeded 2 million.
Adding the two together, it reaches tens of millions.
A song composed and performed by a group of first-year students.
Total sales exceeded 10 million.
It's really shocking.
For a time, the entire network was once again hotly debated.
And major music platforms are adding fuel to the fire.
After all, music platforms have always been asset-heavy in recent years.
Copyright competition requires these platforms to invest huge amounts of money every year to compete for exclusive copyrights.
Basically all the membership fees earned every year are invested in it.
Profitability is almost average.
The major music platforms are also helpless, but they have been competing with each other and no one dares to stop.
After all, if others have more copyrights than you, they will steal your users, and you will slowly become less popular.
You can only keep throwing money away.
It was even harvested by some song copyright dealers with crazy asking prices.
Now, the success of Star Academy's sales model has also allowed them to see the opportunity for transformation.
Acquiring the exclusive copyright of the song requires a huge investment.
But if musicians and singers no longer have exclusive licenses and start selling songs.
Then these online music platforms can be directly transformed into online music sales platforms.
Musicians make a living based on their ability.
The more you sing, the more you buy.
And these platforms enjoy a share of the profits.
Secondly, you can also sell traffic and recommendation positions like e-commerce.
It's easier to make money this way.
Of course, it is undoubtedly difficult to make such a transformation in China.
But as long as there are more and more musicians willing to put new works on all platforms.
That will become a general trend.
Complete the transformation imperceptibly.
In this way, major music platforms no longer have to fight for money, but can fight for experience, service, quality, and healthy competition.
And the singer also faces the market directly.
Only if the songs are well written can they be sold and make more money.
Naturally, I will create more carefully.
This is beneficial to the healthy development of the entire music industry.
Thinking of this, all platforms couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
Star Academy is always like this, with its own ideas.
It can have an impact on an entire industry without even realizing it.
…
On the Internet, discussions about "Always Quiet" are abuzz.
Overall, most netizens like this song very much.
They are all very approving of this song's tens of millions of sales.
This is the real deal after all.
There are actually quite a few songs that have sold tens of millions of copies, but most netizens scoffed at them.
It all depends on fans, who buy dozens or even hundreds of times.
Such sales are completely meaningless to discuss.
And the song took off.
People naturally become more popular.
Xiao Sang is now popular all over the Internet.
His unique singing style and voice have been recognized by a large number of netizens.
Everyone thinks that Xiao Sang has a bright future and is expected to become a queen.
Even many entertainment and music variety shows have extended invitations to Xiao Sang and other popular music students.
And not just the Internet.
In reality, Xiao Sang is even more popular.
The city where Xiao Sang is located is a medium-sized prefecture-level city.
When Xiao Sang walks on the street these days, almost every passerby's eyes will light up when they see Xiao Sang.
There are countless young men and women who come to ask for photos.
But they were all strangers, so Xiao Sang didn't suffer from social phobia.
But I still put on a mask and go out. After all, whether you are drinking milk tea or eating, it is a bit inconvenient to have someone take a photo with you before you have swallowed anything in your mouth.
And beyond that.
Many local shopping mall owners, large companies, and local and provincial TV stations either want to interview me or invite me to sing.
Now the asking price for singing two songs has reached 100,000.
Xiao Sang was naturally very excited. He earned 100,000 yuan for two songs. This was like picking up money.
However, Xiao Sang still did not agree directly.
Instead, ask the teacher for his or her opinion.
After all, although the songs are produced by ourselves, the lyrics and music are all composed by classmates, with a lot of guidance from teachers.
It doesn't feel good to just secretly earn money and eat alone.
Now, what Xiao Sang is looking forward to most is when his brother will call.
I can tell him personally that our family has enough money to find you a wife...
Loneliness Is Singing has total sales of four million.
Two million album sales, two million single sales.
The share of album sales is lower.
But if it's two million, I, as a singer, can get more than two hundred thousand.
Add to that two million single sales, and that's four hundred thousand.
In other words, just from the song "Loneliness Is Singing", I can earn more than 600,000 yuan.
And "Always Quiet" is even more popular.
The single sold eight million, but because there were two assistant singers, he could only get half of the singer's share.
That's eight hundred thousand.
Of the two million from the album, he could only get a few hundred thousand because of his home venue.
But even so, I got two songs down.
You can also get almost 1.6 million.
More than 1.6 million?
After calculating this number, Xiao Sang felt like his head was buzzing.
What is this concept?
My parents both work, earning a combined income of 120,000 yuan a year.
This time, I directly earned more income than my parents had in ten years.
It’s simply outrageous…
Thinking of this, Xiao Sang felt even more grateful to the college.
If it weren't for the strong teaching staff of the college, how could he have such an opportunity?
And even if there was such an opportunity, it would be impossible to get so much money from any other college.
In other colleges, giving you the opportunity to participate in practice is considered a favor.
Still want money? Eating people in dreams.
Only our own college will truly respect students, not exploit students, and consider students wholeheartedly...
To be honest, Xiao Sang now feels that everyone comes to the academy just to make money.
The tuition fees every year are really easily earned back.
While I was thinking about it, my mother heard a cry from the living room.
"Your sister is on vacation and has gone home. Do you miss her?"
"Xiao Sang, come out quickly, your brother called..."
Hearing this, Xiao Sang's eyes lit up, he jumped out of bed and rushed out with his slippers on.
"Tsk tsk, our little Sang is indeed beautiful again after going to college..."
"Don't be fooled by the messy boys in school."
"Brother can go back in four months and bring you specialties from abroad..."
"Brother's ship has to go through the ports of many countries. I heard that buying bags and cosmetics here is cheaper than at home. Brother will send you what you want when the time comes. My sister must have what others have... …”
Xiao Sang looked at the video of his tanned brother, who looked like a fisherman on the coast of Southeast Asia. He had obviously suffered a lot of hard work, and his eyes turned slightly red...
My brother became a crew member and went fishing.
That’s why we can’t contact you casually.
Because satellite phones are too expensive, data traffic costs one yuan per meter.
That’s why my brother basically used WiFi to contact his family after he had reached the shore.
Xiao Sang checked the Internet and knew clearly how hard it was to be a crew member.
It's not an exaggeration to say that you have to sacrifice your life for money.
But even if you work so hard to make money.
But my brother is still as before, he doesn't hesitate to buy things for himself.
Holding back the soreness in his nose, Xiao Sang hurriedly said: "Brother, our family is rich..."
"Don't ask for your salary, just fly back quickly..."
Brother Sang, who was smiling brightly at the other end of the video, his eyes widened when he heard this, and he became anxious: "Damn it, did you sell the house?" (End of Chapter)
