Chapter 194 Is
To be sure, the aesthetics of the two worlds in terms of music are not too far apart and different.
And the type of music of "Fairy Tale" has also been very popular in Azure Star in recent years.
Therefore, Du Caige judged that "Fairy Tale" could become an instant hit, and the word of mouth continued to ferment.
And if "Fairy Tale" can reach 1 million sales in the first week, or even 1 million downloads, such a record-breaking momentum will set off a wave to a large extent - the kind of street and alley on earth to play together The grand occasion of "The Heart Is Too Soft" is likely to be reproduced in Azure Star.
If at this time, Jiang Youxi's remaining 3 songs are released immediately, it will play a very stable role in his popularity, and expand his library of works, leaving a deep impression on fans.
Under this operation, it is not impossible for Jiang Youxi to jump from an unknown newcomer to a second-tier top singer in one fell swoop.
Consolidating this position for a period of time, releasing a few good songs in the next few years, and then constantly brushing her face through variety shows, TV series, etc., Jiang Youxi will definitely have the opportunity to become a first-line artist.
Don't think that the first-line artist seems to be easy.
The real front line, there are only a dozen or so in the whole country.
It's not that you claim to be the first line to be the first line.
A first-line artist must have first-class works and rich resources. A random Weibo such as "I'm so tired today" has millions of likes and retweets. It must be topical and first-class. Ability to attract gold.
However, these criteria are not specific enough.
If you have to use data to speak, then look at an indicator: you have several endorsements of internationally renowned brands in your hands.
If there are 3 or more endorsements of international famous brands, you can be called a first-line artist.
If you have 1-3 endorsements from internationally renowned big brands, you can be regarded as the top of the second-tier artists.
This is also the height Du Caige hopes Jiang Youxi can achieve with the help of "Fairy Tale".
Tang Ye's strong voice let out a low laugh, extremely proud: "Don't worry, although our company has only one first-tier artist and not many second-tier artists, we are not idiots, and naturally we will not miss such a good opportunity."
After a pause, he said again: "I heard that you have a conflict with that dog day? Do you want me to help you fix him."
"Fix your sister, I have a good relationship with Xiao Jiang, but I just feel that his attitude towards work is not rigorous enough, so I don't want to cooperate with him anymore."
"When did you become so picky?"
Du Caige ignored him, but asked, "Do you have a formula? At this time, there are 18,000 downloads on Philharmonic. Can you estimate the number of downloads in the first week?"
"There must be, don't be frightened when I say it."
"Let it go if you fart."
"It is estimated that the number of downloads in the first week is between 550,000 and 1.2 million, and the sales volume may be 1.2-1.7 times the number of downloads."
Du Caige was silent for a moment, then said, "Hang up, I'm going to work."
"Scared? Ah ha ha, you are really frightened!" Tang Yezhi said with a humble face, "Don't hang up, let's talk again."
Du Caige said angrily, "Talk about your sister. Go away!"
"Okay, I allow you to retire. Go hide and have fun. Hehe, immediately after your comeback, help a rookie singer to break the record. I can understand how excited you are..."
Tang Yezhi was still chattering, and Du Caige hung up the phone directly.
"Excited? What's so exciting," he said to himself. "If my film wins the weekly box office title in its first week, then it's worth getting excited."
Although he made 3 low-cost, high-return movies, and entered the 1 billion club before the age of 30, he has never won the weekly box office championship, which has to be said to be a pity.
But this regret, there is a chance to make up for it in the blue star.
In the afternoon, Du Caige continued to carry.
At present, "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" has published nearly 100,000 words, and the collection has reached a terrifying number - 1.22 million.
Last time so many big stars in the music world advertised for Du Caige,
The effect is quite remarkable.
After reaching 870,000 collections on April 29, "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" broke through one million collections in just one day, but the growth rate of collections has slowed down significantly since then.
The collection of "Zhu Xian" has reached 1.43 million, and the subscription ratio has not returned to the highest point. The average subscription is more than 230,000, and there is still room for improvement. It is estimated that it will eventually return to a 4:1, or even a 3.5 to 1 receipt-to-book ratio.
After all, it is not easy to watch pirated copies in Azure Star, at least you have to be able to overturn the wall.
"The Old Man and the Sea" has a collection of 390,000, making it the short story with the highest collection.
Regarding "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", Du Caige has communicated with Yuanyuan and Zhongyi, and plans to release the book on May 15th, a month after the book is published.
At present, such a high collection has been a little immobile, and it is just right to be on the shelves.
Although the number of words in the free chapters for the public is a bit small, the number of words in such a popular book is all money, and the founding Chinese website is reluctant to let Du Caige publish more free parts.
Du Caige has already finished moving the part of "Kunlun Shrine".
I haven't decided yet whether to write "Angry Eyes in Xiangxi" or not.
For the time being, he focused his energy on carrying the "Sword".
When talking with someone from Xinya Publishing House yesterday, he also mentioned that he was writing a new novel of Xianxia, and told the other party the outline of the story of Xianxia 1.
The other party immediately gave him a very tempting proposal: the physical publishing of "Xianjian" and the online serialization will be carried out simultaneously, and according to the sales of "Zhu Xian", the royalties to him will be appropriately increased.
If "Zhu Xian" sells well, it just happens to advertise "Xianjian", "The new work of the author of "Zhu Xian" comes out, and I will show you the scenery of Xianjian", which can also drive the sales of "Xianjian".
At that time, the two Xianxia books can be sold in bundles.
"Ghost Blowing the Lamp" should be held in hand as an ace, and it is not easy to play.
If the sales of "Xianjian" are not satisfactory, you can also rely on "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" to save the situation.
Du Caige felt that this proposal was very good, and he said that he would seriously consider it.
When it was about time to eat, Liu Zifei called and said that "The Depths of a Hundred Flowers" would be delivered.
She came here in a friend's car, delivered the video, sat for a while, and then said goodbye.
"Leave so early? Let's have a meal together."
"I still have an appointment, next time. Brother Du, you will have a lot of work next time, so I will ask you, and I will invite you to dinner when everything is done. In addition, I will invite you to work, but there is no pay. For you, I'm really sorry, I'll make up for you when I become financially independent." Liu Zifei smiled indifferently.
She didn't put on makeup today, her face was facing the sky, her beautiful face was a little tired, but she looked in good spirits.
Du Caige found that after filming "Time" and "The Depths of a Hundred Flowers", the smile on the corner of Liu Zifei's mouth was obviously much more confident and her aura became stronger.
Her soft and weak look in the past matched her long hair better, giving her a feeling of being a little bird.
Now the change of temperament, with her short hair, gives people a great feeling, more and more like an independent and self-improving woman.
Being a director is really good training.
Du Caige hesitated for a while, but didn't force her to stay, but asked her when she was going downstairs, "Can you afford it with money now? Before filming "Time" and "The Depths of a Hundred Flowers", I should give you Your savings are all gone."
Liu Zifei smiled calmly: "Brother Du, you look down on me too much, how can I have so much savings? My parents originally prepared a house for me to use as a wedding room..."
Du Caige was shocked: "You won't sell the house, will you?"
Liu Zifei covered her mouth and smiled and bent over: "Brother Du, don't make fun of you, a house in the magic capital is worth several million dollars. It's enough to make a big movie. It's just two short films, what about it?"
After a pause, she explained: "I rented out, long-term lease, let the other party settle the five-year rent at one time, and then made a relatively large discount, and the other party was willing to accept it, after all, the price of the housing market has always been It's going up. I'm at a disadvantage in this way, but I can get close to 200,000 at a time and use it to shoot short films, it's okay."
Du Caige made a quick calculation: "You spent a lot of time filming "Time" before, and now that you have finished the special effects, there shouldn't be much left for the money. What will you do next, where will you live, and where will you eat? Are you ready to go home?"
Liu Zifei straightened her sassy short hair and said with a calm demeanor: "My parents haven't forgiven me yet, so I can't go back for a while. I made an agreement with a friend that I recently borrowed to live with her, and the two of us had dinner together. Buy groceries and cook by yourself. Uh, it’s a female friend, you don’t have to worry about it.”
Is this what I'm worried about? I'm worried that you're starving yourself to death...
Du Caige opened his mouth and wanted to say "I still have an empty room", but he felt inappropriate and fell silent.
"Okay, don't worry about me," Liu Zifei smiled, "Brother Du, go back, don't give it away."
Du Caige thought about it, and soon came up with an idea, although it wasn't a very good idea.
After hesitating for a moment, he said, "I know, your goal now is to be a good director. But until you can actually direct, I don't think you mind doing odd jobs, right?"
Liu Zifei glanced at him in surprise and smiled: "Uh, I resigned from the TV station, just because I don't want to be occupied by work too much time, don't interfere with my acting. And I will spend most of my time running various crews, Going to study, I don't have time to do a serious job. But... If there is a good temporary job with more free time, I can try it too. Brother Du, are you going to introduce me to one?"
Du Caige nodded: "It won't take up too much of your time, and the income is not low."
"Is there such a good thing?" Liu Zifei covered her mouth and smiled, "Don't just create a position for me."
"How can I, I'm not that boring. That's it," Du Caige said calmly after sorting out his thoughts, "I promised my godfather that I would write a few ancient songs to promote classical music and traditional culture."
Liu Zifei's beautiful big eyes blinked and her long eyelashes fluttered like small brushes, listening carefully. "What does this have to do with me?" she wondered.
"Listen to me. I have already written the song, but if you want to promote the song, in fact, if there is a suitable MV, it will spread better and make people more impressive, right?"
