Chapter 950: Battle of the Rankings

Generally speaking, to hold large-scale events, you need to contact the venue half a year, a year or even two or three years in advance. When "Not Gray" was blocked from debuting, "QianSe" was determined to wait for them to be together, and the time has been delayed for several months. Liu Huajun did not complain that the children's camaraderie was inappropriate. Instead, he tried his best to set up a gymnasium for them that could accommodate 6,000 people. Therefore, he compromised on many conditions. At this time, he could only grit his teeth and accept the other party's liquidated damages.

She tried to fight for it, but the person on the other end quickly hung up the phone after some prevarication. When I asked again, I learned that the right to use the venue had been handed over to Mingye Entertainment, Xingfeng, and Xingluo Entertainment, and they were organizing a concert at the end of the year.

What else is there to say? In the blatant competition in the industry, this group of guys couldn't suppress "Thousands of Colors" and "Not Gray", so they tried every means to stumble them through various channels.

Liu Huajun is not a fool. She has at least three emergency plans. But plagiarism is a very serious crime in Blue Star. Even rumors that are not consistent with the facts are like a white shirt splattered with black mud. Even if it is washed clean, you still feel guilty. Given the change of heart in Pengcheng, Guangdong Province, there is no guarantee that the other three venues will not make a fuss over this "disrespect".

In the final analysis, whether cooperation can be successful or not is basically a matter of a word from the top management, and what affects the decision-making of the top management is naturally the actual interests.

So now, the key still depends on the commercial strength of "QianSe" and "Not Gray".

The golden period for the release and promotion of singles, albums, etc. is usually one month. There are various music evaluations in Longguo, among which the most authoritative ones are "Si Zhu" and "Lingqu". The former is a ranking list specifically for sales, while the latter is an electronic review exhibition hall under the "Qu" category of Longguo's official media. Its full name is "Quiet Listening to Thousands of Songs", which pays more attention to quality.

Due to the large base of music works, the Listening Music Exhibition Hall has set a certain threshold. Only music that has emerged in Category A rankings and awards will be selected and rated. Therefore, popular singers and idols have tacitly avoided listening to music. The main battlefield is on the silk and bamboo sales list.

First-day sales, first-week sales, and first-month sales are all hard indicators that can intuitively reflect the commercial value of an artist.

Liu Huajun clenched her fists. She deliberately waited until the sales went on sale before releasing this set of clarifying punches. The dirty water on the other side had been poured over anyway, so it was better to use the wind to make the "Qian Colors" more popular.

After gathering himself, Liu Huajun turned around and walked out of the office and came to the workstation next door.

"How's it going?" she asked.

…

In other parts of the Dragon Kingdom, people from several major companies such as Canhua Entertainment, Mingye Entertainment, Xingfeng Entertainment and Xingluo Entertainment are closely watching the real-time updates of the Silk and Bamboo List.

On the surface, they were calm and raised their hands to show their innocence, but secretly they were still extremely afraid of the two major idol groups that had emerged from Yangliu Entertainment.

At this moment, these people are more worried than Liu Huajun about the first-day sales results of the debut albums of "QianSe" and "Not Gray".

Mingye Entertainment's HOS group (Hunters of September, September Hunters) released a single early this month; Xingluo Entertainment's "Shuo Feng" boy group released a mini album in the middle of last month, and the first month has not yet passed; Huang Ge Pan Entertainment's "Qinglan" girl group released an album two days ago. It is the group's first album after more than half a year, and it comes at a time when only fans of the group are having a carnival...

Logically speaking, "Thousands of Colors" and "Not Gray", as "juniors" in the entertainment industry idol circle, should honestly avoid the sharp edges of their predecessors and choose a peaceful day in the middle to late period to release their albums. But they didn't, they just decided on the date of September 9th. The five-member boy band and the four-member girl band would go on a rampage with their respective debut albums.

The statistics of the Silk and Bamboo list are the most comprehensive, showing the current ranking order and increase in real time. Its single-day sales list is divided into four parts: 1~50, 51~100, 101~200, and 201~500. People usually don't bother to pay attention to the rankings after 200. In the eyes of people in major companies, only the top 100 or even the top 50 can be called "entering the list."

A tense atmosphere permeated the offices.

When they first went on sale at ten o'clock in the morning, the sales rankings of the debut albums of "Thousand Colors" and "Not Gray" were still outside the 500th place. There was only a small wave of obvious increases. It didn't take much to think about it. Fans who were waiting for the album were the first to know. Come and buy. Everyone had expected this and did not panic. They said "continue to pay attention" to the employees monitoring the data.

At around 12 o'clock at noon, during the lunch break at school and work, more people saw Yangliu Entertainment's clarification announcement or the advertisements of the two idol groups, and the ranking rose, jumping directly to 385.

"It's okay. The gap between the third and fourth tiers is small. If you sell one more item, you can move up to 50 places. It's nothing." said the competitor who was paying attention to these.

Their own idol group jumped from the outside of the list to the first tier within ten minutes of its release. Sure enough, a new group is a new group, and the fan base is too small. Not to mention the negative impact of "plagiarism" is still there, and the number of passers-by is shrinking rapidly. , nothing to fear in comparison.

After that, the sales ranking of "Not Gray" began to rise, while "Thousand Colors" only climbed slowly at a steady rate.

People from major companies smiled one after another.

The rise of "Not Gray" was too strong and their fans were fanatical. It would not be a wise move to attack them. However, the move to "Thousand Colors" turned out to be very effective.

And "Not Gray" is not without flaws. Although their followers have been rising rapidly recently, they still have a lot of false followers. These fans only follow them because they are temporarily interested, and they may not necessarily spend money on them.

"Mr. Zhang, what do you think the final result will be?" In a certain company, an agent chatted with his colleague.

The producer surnamed Zhang pondered for a few seconds and said: "The girl group may be able to rush to the first tier on the first day. After that, it will hover in the second half of the tier. The boy group... hehe, if they are lucky, they can enter the second tier?"

Hearing the first half of the sentence, the agent's face darkened for a moment. It is a very good result for a new group to be able to maintain the TOP100 after its debut. Although he doesn't want to admit it, he knows that "Not Gray" is really good.

Due to the current aesthetics and popular customs in Longguo, idol girl groups are mostly cute, sweet, and pure. There are very few sexy ones. There is a bigger gap in the market for strong queens. "Not Gray" still has an advantage.

However, after hearing the second half of the sentence, the agent's face eased.

He laughed a few times and said sarcastically, "Yeah, I hope they are lucky enough."

Whether it is a single or an album, Blue Star has a global unified sales standard, that is, each account can buy at most one copy for itself and give five copies to others. And Longguo has enabled the credit system, and one ID card can be bound to at most three accounts. In other words, the sales volume that a fan can provide is fixed.

With so few fans, if Yangliu Entertainment wants to make the sales ranking of "Thousand Colors" look good, it can only pay for it by itself. It may not cost much on the first day, but what about a week? A month?

If you are not good at attracting fans and retaining fans, you have to chase after them and pay at any time!

After angrily expressing it in his heart, the agent flashed a guilty look on his face and found an excuse to leave.

Liu Huajun is really difficult to deal with. Originally, they thought that even if Yangliu Entertainment was faster, it would take at least one or two days to clarify. By then, they would find someone to sue "Soaring" and the first week sales of "Thousand Colors" would be directly ruined. But I didn't expect that Yangliu Entertainment's announcement would come out so quickly, and they even replaced "Soaring" entirely and added a new song temporarily.

Professionals within the company have verified that the new song is of the same quality as "Soaring", or even better. Considering the large number of original songs that "Not Gray" has publicly sung during outdoor running, the resource reserves behind Yangliu Entertainment are astonishing.

No, it's not necessarily Yangliu Entertainment, it's the legendary "Ms. J"...

People from major companies didn't show any fear on the surface, but the sense of crisis in their hearts was rising like creepers.

Time is still jumping forward every second.
