Throughout October, the album "Chinese Style" almost swept the market, with sales exceeding one million in a single month.
This is also Cao Xuan's second album with sales exceeding one million in a single month after "Bright Stars".
This sales performance can be called terrifying, but some media still expressed doubts.
Because of the brilliance of "Bright Stars" last year, Cao Xuan's fame and influence have grown a lot compared to last year, and he has opened up the Asian market. The scope of album sales is no longer just in Greater China, but in the whole of Asia.
Logically speaking, if the quality of "Chinese Style" is guaranteed, the sales volume of "Bright Stars" should be several times higher than that of "Bright Stars".
But now, the sales volume of "Chinese Style" is not as good as the previous "Bright Stars". It can be seen that Cao Xuan is no longer the same and has begun to "exhaust his talent".
This statement almost didn't kill people,
In an interview, Huang Minxia, ??the vice president of Warner Greater China at the time and the person in charge of "Chinese Style", directly stated that this statement was "ridiculous and ridiculous".
"I don't know if this reporter has studied the sales data of music albums. The monthly sales of "Chinese Wind" exceeded one million. According to our estimates, the total sales volume of the original album is expected to exceed 4 million, and even has an impact of 5 million. possibility.
I asked the reporter to check it out. How many albums in Asia have sold more than 5 million copies.
If this can be regarded as the exhaustion of talents, then please tell me what it means to be talented. "
Huang Minxia replied unceremoniously, maybe "Chinese Style" is not as good as last year's "Bright Stars".
But the problem is that the album "Chinese Style" has a certain cultural threshold after all, and not all fans can accept it.
Although there are certain markets in countries such as Japan, South Korea, and Thailand that are deeply influenced by Chinese culture, the main audience is still domestic and overseas Chinese.
Therefore, from this point of view, the Asian market that Cao Xuan opened last year actually has limited growth for "Chinese Style".
Furthermore, "Bright Stars" is such a masterpiece, the first classic, can be said to be the pinnacle of Cao Xuan's career as a singer, and is about to break through 5 million single sales, which is also among the top results in Asia.
Japan's legendary singer Uda Tamitsu's record sales of single albums in Japan and even in Asia are only 7.6 million.
In the past two years, Cao Xuan has been considered a fierce man in Asia. In the Greater China region, gods block and kill gods, and Buddhas block and kill Buddhas. However, in terms of sales, he can't sell this little Japanese girl who is 8 years younger than him.
No way, Japan's copyright protection is so good, sometimes even slightly stronger than that of Europe, second only to the United States.
Cao Xuan was instinctively at a disadvantage in the competition with them.
But then again, the disadvantage is also an advantage. The physical record market in Japan has been saturated and even started to decline.
Although the domestic record market is also following this general trend, and piracy has not been effectively improved, due to the rapid development of the domestic economy, it has squeezed out a golden period of several years.
? If you lose a horse, you don¡¯t know it¡¯s a blessing. No matter how much Cao Xuan suffers now, he will make up for it in the future
But no matter what, Cao Xuan's album sales are definitely in the top echelon in Asia.
Except for Japan's Uda Takamitsu, Hamasaki Ayumi, b'z group, and a few other national treasure singers in Asia who are worthy of a battle, the others are younger brothers.
Therefore, Cao Xuan's Asian King is not named by the domestic media, but has been certified by overseas authorities in many countries, and he is truly the top pop king in Asia.
Those group of media questioning talent is nothing more than questioning sales, they are definitely full.
This is not scolding Cao Xuan, but scolding other singers, "Jiang Lang's talents" are all sold more than them, those who don't know think they are cross-dressing
Cao Tianwang was so popular, so he was naturally targeted by those who wanted to. In late October, Cao Xuan received a call from a stranger.
As soon as he opened his mouth, Cao Xuan felt a little familiar. Later, when the other party reported himself, Cao Xuan was overjoyed.
Isn't this Jack Ma, the father of 996 blessings!
It was very simple for Jack Ma to make a call. He invited Cao Xuan to participate in the second West Lake Discussion of Swords to discuss major Internet issues.
As I said before, last year Jack Ma organized a West Lake Lunjian in order to promote the banner of Alibaba, but no one liked him.
After all, Lao Ma has no strength, no reputation, no qualifications at this time, and Alibaba is not well-known among many Internet companies, and has no appeal at all.
Therefore, Lao Ma invited Jin Yong through his relationship, Jin Yong's face was wide, and the heads of the three major portals came together.
? This year Lao Ma held the second West Lake Discussion of Swords,It doesn't matter if they agree or not.
But only this function, Cao Xuan followed up from time to time, and asked for improvement many times, and Xiao Ma and others all agreed.
Just kidding, the major shareholder of nearly half of the shares has just this one request, and you still pick and choose, blocking the east and the west, you really think you have no temper.
Cao Xuan gave good news to Brother Xiaoma, and Brother Xiaoma also returned Cao Xuan.
The previously mentioned cooperation between Fengyun Studio and Penguin has already begun. Penguin has designed a platform for Penguin News, which is linked to QQ and pops up to users every day, similar to that of later generations.
But as I said before, Penguin has no plans to do news by itself, so we are temporarily cooperating with Fengyun Studio here.
? One side releases the platform, the other releases the news, grabbing the users first.
After Cao Xuan heard this, he was really very happy. The development of Fengyun Studio was not bad before, but it was still far behind the three major portals.
Now with Penguin's platform user bonus, it may not be impossible to wrestle with the three major portals and completely establish the name of Fengyun Studio.
In the future, whether it is to develop self-media news on multiple platforms, or directly create such a content information platform by itself, we will have enough confidence.
