Chapter 544 544. Progress

Although the performance of Alan's new song in Japan is mediocre at present, it has become popular in China very quickly.

In the new song ranking of blogs, Alan's "Prisoner-of-Love" only took half a day to declare a strong top. The audience expressed great appreciation for Alan's new Japanese single after half a year of silence.

"It seems that Alan really worked hard in Japan, and her pronunciation is very pure!"

"The song is very nice, and the combination of Alan and Nie Wei will not disappoint."

"Although I don't understand it, the melody can deeply attract me."

There are many such praises, and the praise rate on the website is as high as 95%, and many professional musicians also give this song a very high evaluation.

"It's a very Japanese pop song. Nie Wei's control of various styles really amazed me."

"A very pure Japanese song, with Alan's pure Japanese pronunciation. Alan's efforts in the past six months are all in this song. It's very rare."

"It's a classic song. After listening to it once, the melody is deeply imprinted in my mind."

The physical album CD sold 50,000 copies on the first day. Even Nie Wei was surprised by this result. After all, in the music circle at that time, if an album could sell 100,000, it would be enough to hold a celebration party. And looking at Alan's momentum on the first day, I'm afraid that this single can sell at least 300,000, which is already a performance at the level of a queen.

Nie Wei thought that it was probably because Alan had not appeared in China for a long time, and the fans' suppressed enthusiasm was all placed on this single, which caused such a hot scene.

"It would be great if the domestic online results could also be counted in Japan's Oricon chart." Seeing Alan's song achieve such excellent results in China, Wang Zhonglei was surprised, relieved, and a little bit regretful.

What is surprising is that such a Japanese song is so popular in China.

What is gratifying is that Alan's performance is very good. At least from the market reaction, although she has been away from China for half a year, her influence has not decreased but increased.

As for the last pity, just like Wang Zhonglei and Nie Wei said, this performance can only be enjoyed in China, and cannot be counted in Japan's Oricon chart.

And now for Alan, the most important thing is the performance in Japan. After all, she went to open up the market. If it is just to be popular in China, why would she spend half a year to go to Japan, learn from Japan, and learn new singing methods to cater to the local market?

Aren't all these hard work to open up the Japanese market for the company?

Wang Zhonglei may just say it casually, but Nie Wei took it to heart.

Why can't the Stars Music Platform cooperate with the Oricon chart? This kind of thing is not absolutely impossible, and it is even very feasible.

Because in the future, there will be many music platforms in China that have such cooperation. Although the proportion of scores that domestic platforms can occupy is not high, once this kind of cooperation is opened, it will inevitably gain influence.

Foreign music also needs to open up the mainland market. With the music market becoming increasingly depressed, the mainland market is really an untapped treasure. It doesn't matter if the albums sell well, the number of fans in the mainland is worth attracting.

Of course, this kind of cooperation is still just an idea at present, and it is impossible to reach cooperation immediately. This requires long-term consideration and negotiation.

In Japan, Alan also finished the first day's schedule and returned to the hotel tiredly.

"The number of auditions on the website has reached 33,200, and the number of downloads has reached 10,600." The agent reported the music website data to Alan so far.

"What about the sales of physical records?" Alan asked.

"3,200 copies, which is a good result." When mentioning the record sales, the agent also smiled, but Alan did not smile. In her opinion, this result was just ordinary.

"Alan, you should take a rest. There is a program that requires playing games tomorrow, which is very physically demanding." After reporting the data, the agent was ready to leave.

There was no conversation overnight. The next day, Alan still worked hard to run the schedule, playing games during the day and doing radio at night. It was not until after ten o'clock that he returned to the hotel again.

The agent greeted Alan with a happy face.

"The number of auditions on the website has exceeded 150,000, and the number of downloads has exceeded 60,000. Today's results have improved greatly!" As soon as he entered the room, the agent showed a happy face and said to Alan with an exaggerated expression.

Knowing that his performance had improved, Alan's originally tired expression also brightened a lot, and he hurriedly asked about the sales of physical records.

"More than 8,600 copies. The specific statistics have not been completed yet, but it should not exceed 9,000 copies. However, it is twice as much as the sales on the first day. It may be that the publicity has worked. Alan, we must continue to work hard!" The agent encouraged Alan.

"Yes, work hard!" Alan nodded seriously and clenched his fists.

A week passed unknowingly. Noda Kumaichi went to work with a smile on his face in the past two days. All the employees in the company also looked relaxed, which was completely different from the gloomy atmosphere in the company a week ago.

The only reason for this change is the performance of Alan's new song!

On the first day, Alan's new song did not perform well on the website. The number of auditions was only over 30,000, and the number of downloads was only over 10,000. Compared with Mika Nakashima's millions of auditions and nearly 200,000 downloads, it was pitifully small.

However, Alan's performance did not decline the next day, but improved.

150,000 auditions and over 60,000 downloads, this performance is already commendable among new singers.

Noda Kumaichi felt that things seemed to be moving in a good direction, and his mood was relieved.

However, he could never have expected that things would get out of hand, because Alan's performance improvement was beyond his expectations.

On the third day, Alan's new song "Prisoner-of-Love" was listened to more than 500,000 times on the online music platform, and the download number exceeded 200,000. On the fourth day, the number of auditions exceeded one million, and the number of downloads was infinitely close to 500,000. Until today, Alan's new song has been listened to more than 5 million times, and the number of downloads is close to one million.

And the physical record sales have exceeded 100,000 copies. For a new singer, such a performance can no longer be described as "okay".

In Noda Kumaichi's view, Alan at this moment is the dazzling sun, shining brightly and suppressing a piece of starlight.

Although this result is still not better than Mika Nakashima's new song, the two are no longer compared to an ant and an elephant. Alan's new song's performance has indeed threatened Mika Nakashima. Even in Noda Kumaichi's view, it is not a fantasy to surpass Mika Nakashima's performance. Of course, this will take time.

Although for the time being, Alan's new song's performance is not as good as Mika Nakashima's, but in terms of the popularity of the song, Alan is far ahead.

A well-known Japanese music review magazine reported that both songs were shortlisted for this issue of the magazine. Alan's new song "Prisoner-of-Love" achieved an excellent score of eight points. In comparison, Mika Nakashima's new song only scored 6.5 points, which was just barely passing.

Regarding the evaluation of Mika Nakashima's new song, the magazine said that the quality of the song was ordinary and there was no novelty, but Mika Nakashima's voice added a lot of color to the song.

This evaluation is very interesting. Although it was not stated explicitly, the attitude was very obvious. If this song was not sung by Mika Nakashima, I am afraid it would not even pass.

Compared to the lack of interest in Mika Nakashima's new song, the magazine's evaluation of Alan's new song is much better.

"'Prisoner of love', as the name suggests, describes the mood of a person bound by emotions. The lyrics describe love deeply, the beauty of love, the cruelty of love, and the persistence of love. The sentence 'I am just a prisoner bound by love' simply portrays a lovelorn person vividly, as if alive."

"This is a song that is completely worthy of four stars. What's more interesting is that the style of this song is completely Japanese pop, but the composer and lyricist is indeed the well-known Chinese musician Nie Wei, and the standard of Alan's pronunciation when singing this song is believed to make many Japanese female singers ashamed, but she is also from China."

Finally, the music editor of this magazine also specifically mentioned that he is looking forward to the ranking of the song "Prisoner of love" when the next Oricon list comes out.

And on the Internet, netizens' evaluation is also very positive.

"The singer Alan is really Chinese. Oh my god, when I listened to the song, I couldn't tell it was sung by a foreigner."

"The song is nice, it has a style of Uda Hikaru."

"Alan's appearance is so delicate. There is such a beautiful girl among Chinese female singers. Why didn't I notice it before?"

"From today on, I am a fan of Alan."

"People who have been heartbroken should not listen to this song. Believe me, you will be addicted after listening to it. For example, I have been listening to it on repeat for a whole night."

"I am a prisoner of love. Who is willing to be my prison?"

A good song has the power to move people. Obviously, "Prisoner of love" is such a good song. The rapid progress of Alan's new song is actually closely related to the spontaneous recommendation of these listeners.

A person who hears a good song will always share it with friends around him, and friends who think it is good will share it with their friends. The initial effect may not be obvious, but as more and more people share it, the influence will spread more and more, just like a snowball.

In addition, Japan has never stopped promoting Alan. Those big billboards and radio stations playing songs at least five times a day have all played a role. The investment is not without return. At least in terms of publicity, Alan, a newcomer, has resources that other newcomers can't envy.

Of course, in addition to the resources in place, Alan's efforts cannot be ignored.

This week, Alan ran hundreds of schedules, including variety shows, autograph sessions, radio programs, etc., and even only slept three to four hours a day.

With this little sleep time, much of it was squeezed out while rushing on the road, but even with such a high-intensity schedule, Alan also gritted his teeth and survived. In addition to the stimulation of improved grades, the strength of his personal will cannot be ignored.

However, there will definitely be rewards for hard work. After a week, the new Oricon chart will be announced soon.

The Oricon chart is the most influential song ranking list in Japan. Its influence on the Japanese music circle is basically the same as that of the Billboard on the American music circle.

Being able to occupy a place on this list is the best affirmation of the singer and the song.

The statistics of the Oricon Chart are related to the number of downloads on the cooperating music platforms, as well as the sales of physical records, the click rate of MVs, and many other aspects. In addition, some magazines will also issue specific questionnaires, and the evaluations of some professional musicians also account for a small part of the score.

Such complex statistical methods are also to ensure the fairness of the list, which is one of the reasons why the Oricon Chart has always been the most influential and fair music list in Japan.

The list has 200 statistics, which seems a lot, but there may be thousands of singers competing for these 200 places. The cruelty of the Japanese music circle is completely incomparable to the mainland music circle.

The list will be announced first on the Oricon Chart's exclusive magazine oriconstyle, and the network will be updated at noon on the same day. Noda Kumaichi couldn't wait until noon to see the free list, so he sent company employees to wait in the convenience store early, and when the magazine arrived, he bought it immediately, checked it immediately, and finally called himself immediately.

While waiting for the results, Noda Kumaichi had some estimates of Alan's results. In his opinion, Alan's online music platform data performance is very good, which is Alan's advantage, but in terms of physical record sales, Alan's performance can only be said to be good, and in other aspects, Alan's performance can only be considered mediocre. In summary, the top 30 should be no problem, but whether she can enter the top 20 depends on luck.

Time passed by little by little, and Noda Kumaichi estimated that the results would come out soon.

A few minutes later, his mobile phone on the table rang, and Noda Kumaichi quickly picked up the phone and saw that it was the number used by the employee he sent out.

After answering it quickly, Noda Kumaichi asked anxiously: "How much, what is the ranking of Alan's new song?"

The voice of the staff over there was excited, and replied: "President, Alan ranks 18th! I didn't see it wrong, Alan ranks 18th!!!"

Huh————! ! !

After a long sigh of relief, Noda Kumaichi threw the phone aside, fell on the chair, and the corners of his mouth slowly cracked, and finally turned into a silent laugh.

Ten seconds later, when he could no longer suppress his joy, his wanton laughter finally resounded throughout the office, causing the secretary outside the door to look in curiously.

Ranked 18th in the first week, Noda Kumaichi can say to everyone with certainty that Alan succeeded!!!

After the Oricon rankings were announced, Alan's achievement instantly caused heated discussions both in Japan and China.

Thanks to Banmo's God 1000 for his generous reward, and to Qiu Ye Liang Yue and 0773 for their generous reward.
