Failed to show off wealth, relying on talent to become popular in the entertainment industry

Chapter 214 The album battle begins!
After April 4th, Su Bai basically spent the rest of his time in the company's recording studio, except for "Singer" and Wuha.

Su Bai finally named this album "Invincible".

The meaning is self-evident, this album should be invincible and invincible!

The album contains fifteen songs: "In the Name of the Father", "Father", "Ten Years", "Nanshannan", "The Next Us", "Don't Talk", "Red Rose", "Practice Love", " "It's a pity there is no if", "Confession Balloon", "Sea of ​​Flowers", "Maple", "Chrysanthemum Terrace", "End of the World", "Exaggeration".

Mr. He Jun, the veteran music producer who was responsible for helping Su Bai produce the album, directly posted a Weibo post after helping Su Bai produce the album:
[The album "Invincible" is probably the scariest album I have ever produced in my life. Every song is as good as the title song. How lucky I am. 】

During this period, Monster Entertainment also used all available resources to frantically promote Ning Yufei's new album "Lone Star", which he had carefully polished for two years.

It contains 12 songs, three of which are original, and seven of which were co-written by Mi Miao, one of the three recognized lyricists in the industry, and Lu Da, one of the four major songwriters. Two of them have also received gold medals in the industry. The composer's song.

On April 4, Wuha’s last recording session ended.

"Singer" has only its last issue left.

The last issue of "Singer" will also be held on May 5 for a live broadcast competition.

At 5:1 in the morning on May 0st, the cover image of Penguin Music showed a picture divided into two.

On the left is the cover of Su Bai's album "Invincible". Su Bai is wearing a black shirt with gold trim and embroidered with dragon patterns. He is standing on the edge of the cliff with his hands behind his hands, giving him the impression of "seeing all the mountains at a glance".

On the right is the cover of Ning Yufei's album "Lone Star". Ning Yufei is half-body turned into light, raising his hand to look at a lone star in the distance.

One is Chinese style, the other is technological, both cover images are very beautiful.

In the Monster Entertainment conference room, Chairman Li Mo, Music Director Gao Sheng, Deputy Director Zhou Siyu, Lyricist Mi Miao, Composer Lu Da, and King Ning Yufei gathered together.

"Today is the most important battle for Monster in recent years. Since the last time Su Bai declared war, the company's stock price has dropped by 10 percentage points. If this battle cannot reverse the situation, it will be fatal to us. Strike.”

Li Mo looked serious and slowly exhaled a puff of smoke, "Yu Fei, how confident are you?"

"Judging from the songs that Su Bai has sung in "Singer" so far, except for "In the Name of the Father", this song is too powerful. The quality of other songs is on par with our title song."

Lu Da said, his expression a bit serious.

"This time Yufei's album has eight title songs that are of high quality, and the remaining four songs are second only to the title song. There is not a single fill-in song. Even if it was released a few years ago, this album would have been extremely successful. "

"But the songs Su Bai has sung so far, even excluding "In the Name of the Father," are all of the title song quality. He still has 8 songs that have not been released. What if they are all of this quality?"

Li Mo is still a little worried. Although he is a professional musician, he is more of the boss of Monster.

The album "Lone Star" is definitely an invincible album in terms of normal album releases.

But it's still a bit dangerous to play against Su Bai. If Su Bai's 8 unreleased songs are of the same quality as they are now, then "Lone Star" will be a bit of a cliffhanger.

If there are one or two more songs that are comparable to "In the Name of the Father", then it's really hard to say whether this battle will be won or lost.

The most troublesome thing is that this time the two parties are competing on the album chart. This list is officially dominated by the Chinese government, so there is no possibility of spending money on it.

Mi Miao's expression was calm, "Su Bai is not a god. It is impossible for all 15 songs to be of the title song level. I guess he relied on "In the Name of the Father" to hit this album."

"But what we are fighting for is not the hot song chart, but the album chart. It has been so long since "In the Name of the Father", and its power has basically dropped a lot, so our chances of winning are still relatively high."

"I hope so, but I see that Su Bai's album is on pre-sale, and there are only 10 songs released. Why?"

Li Mo asked Xiang Gaosheng.

"I asked my acquaintances at Penguin and they said that Su Bai's new album will be pre-sold first. Those who pre-sold it can listen to 10 songs directly, and the remaining 5 songs will be released one every day until it is officially sold on the 5th. "

"Oh, isn't this a suicide attempt? This may increase expectations, but this method will also dissatisfy the audience. Moreover, the album chart is considered officially released, which means we have a five-day head start."

Gao Sheng looked happy. Su Bai's operation was really helping them take the lead.

"Don't be too happy now. This Su Bai is not a fuel-efficient lamp. And what if their pre-sale results are better than our official sales?"

Li Mo is still more cautious. This battle is related to the stock price, so he must be fully prepared.

"Gao Sheng, please ask the publicity and distribution department to increase investment in advertising. Even if this album doesn't make any money, it still needs to increase sales!"

"Yes! I'm going now."

At this moment, everyone in Bai Rifeisheng Company had very solemn expressions.

This battle was initiated by Su Bai. If he wins, Su Bai will take advantage of the situation and become as stable as a rock in the music world.

But if he loses, Su Bai's long-standing myth of being undefeated will be shattered, and his halo will immediately dim. When the time comes, it will be even more difficult for him to advance to the "Five Greats" after flying in the sun.

"Xiaobai, do we really want to release songs like this? Isn't it a bit too risky?"

Yang ChunChun had a worried look on her face. Her opponent was the Big Four who had dominated the industry for so many years, as well as the King of Popularity. Yang ChunChun couldn't help but feel nervous.

"Oh, simple sister, just relax. It's not like you haven't listened to this album. How can I lose with this quality?" "But we are comparing sales in the first month! This is equivalent to giving up 5 days in vain!" "

"The real outbreak only takes about a week, and the subsequent growth will gradually slow down, so these five days are not that important."

"And if I win the "Singer" finals on the 3rd night directly and take this advantage, wouldn't it be better?"

Su Bai wasn't worried at all. These were basically the top ten songs of Jay Chou, Chen and JJ. If they were put in an album, he would really lose his life if he could still lose.

"Now we can only wait and see how the pre-sales turn out. As long as the number of pre-sales can reach 50% of theirs, then we will definitely win."

During the whole day, Su Bai was the least worried person. Although she was forced to stay in the company by Sister Simple, she was still happily playing games.

Su Bai is very confident that he will be the king tonight!
It’s not that Su Bai’s skills have improved, but that Young Master Su, who knelt down for 8 games in a row, got angry and found the first brother of the shark live broadcast king “Zhang Dashen”.

Then Zhang Dashen called several big anchors with similar levels to help Su Bai improve his points.

To be honest, if we play a Star Game with this lineup, even a pig will be the king.
On the Internet, fans from both sides were also ready to go. The first wave of people who stuck to buy the album were basically die-hard fans, and before 0 o'clock, everyone also started to tear up the album with great momentum.

As the veteran traffic king, Ning Yufei has rarely appeared on the screen in the past two years, but his fan base is still very strong, and many listeners are sentimental.

There are a lot of people looking forward to this "Lone Star", which has been in the works for two years.

Although Su Bai debuted much later than Su Bai, he has been particularly active on the screen this year, especially as he has been the main star of the two hottest variety shows recently.

In terms of traffic, it may still be slightly better than Ning Yufei.

It's just that Xuanfa's investment is much lower than Monster's. It's not that Su Bai is stingy, it's mainly because he doesn't think it's necessary.

Su Bai has been active on the screen and has maintained his popularity very well. Spending more money is just the icing on the cake. It is better to save some money and provide benefits to employees.

On the first night of this long holiday, countless people stayed in front of the screen, looking forward to the start of this war.

Finally, 0 o'clock has arrived!
Yang simply tried to buy an album first to see what the number was.

【Purchase successful!Congratulations on becoming the 34172nd owner of "Invincible", thank you for your support of Su Bai]

Yang Chunran breathed a sigh of relief. She placed the order without hesitating for a few seconds. The number was already over 3, which showed that there were still many people buying it.

After 10 minutes, click on the homepage of Penguin Music. The sales data of the two parties are:

"Lone Star": 398221 copies sold

"Invincible": pre-sale sales of 409123 copies

"Yes!"

Yang Chunran jumped up completely regardless of her image, and Su Bai felt the floor shake.

"Calm down, sister! Calm down!"

"Our pre-sale sales are higher than theirs! That's for sure!"

"The people who buy albums are basically die-hard fans. In fact, this data is for die-hard fans. My screen has been more active recently, which is normal."

"Tonight's data is actually not very useful as a reference. The main thing is to look at tomorrow's data."

"Then at least we're off to a good start!"

"Ah, yes, yes, I'm awesome!"

"."

Also paying close attention to the data are the people from Monster, but compared to the excitement on Bairi Feisheng's side, the faces of everyone on Monster's side are more solemn.

"Su Bai's popularity is indeed a bit scary."

"It's okay. Yu Fei's fans are older than Su Bai's. They haven't started to work hard at this time. There will definitely be a surge during the day!"

"Currently, the sales rate of this album is faster than that of Yufei's album that exceeded [-] million. The data of this album should be very good."

"How's the publicity going?"

"A large number of music critics have been arranged to write good reviews, and it should be able to create a wave of rhythm online soon."

"Okay, continue to submit, and we must build up the reputation of the album as quickly as possible!"

"No problem, the hot search on Weibo has also climbed to the first place."

"Okay, keep watching."
