Chapter 168 - Thank You Senior
Chen Guodongdidn't have many fans in the Inspur blog, only 200,000+, which can be regardedas a small V.
However, he iswell known in the pop music world. He is a contributor1 to anumber of music websites and magazines, and has a wide range of contacts in thecircle. Therefore, there are a lot of star artists and industry celebrities whofollow each other in the blog.
Once the "SilentMajority” was published, it got a lot of repost.
Musicsuperstars Tan Hong and Chen Fei'er, Flying Stone Record Music Director LinZhijie, famous artist Zhang Zhirong, and pop radio host Shu Ping and other BigV have all given positive comments, forming a wider influence on the Internet.
On September16, the next day, the three words “Lu Chen”, “You Who Sat NextTo Me” and “Silent Majority” appeared on the homepage of Inspurblog at the same time.
There werealso many bloggers who post on their blogs the short films they shot at theircollege orientation parties, which were basically live videos of studentperformers playing and singing songs in Lu Chen’s alb.u.m.
A guitar, ahandsome guy, a folk song…
Most ofthese videos were shot on cellphones, and the picture quality and sound qualitywere not good, but the atmosphere at the scene was good enough to show thepopularity of Lu Chen’s original songs among the student community.
People inthe industry were astonished to find that “Campus Folk Song”, a folksong category created by Lu Chen himself, has unwittingly gained wide influencewith the release of his first alb.u.m, and has been recognized by countless youngpeople.
When Lu Chenpromoted “Campus Folk Songs”, many people scoffed at it and evendismissed it as an act of sensationalism.
Now It was entirelypossible to leave a strong mark on the historical books of domestic pop music!
Someentertainment record companies were keen to pay attention to this market and wereplanning to launch works of the same style.
Lu Chen'sInspur blog has gained hundreds of thousands of followers.
Also, onSeptember 16, the sales volume of “You Who Sat Next To Me” exceeded300,000 on QQ Music!
Surprisingeveryone!
It isimportant to know that the sales performance of a singer's alb.u.ms on thewebsite is mainly concentrated in the first week, especially in the first threedays, and will definitely decline in the following days, or even have a big drop.
The reasonis simple, online piracy is rampant with the hot sales of alb.u.ms. A largenumber of it will appear on posts, forums and QQ groups for others to downloadfor free, which can't be contained at all.
Under suchcirc.u.mstances, even the works of superstars and celebrities, the downward trendis also irreparable.
“YouWho Sat Next To Me” was put on the shelves of QQ Music on the 8th. By the16th, It has been on the shelves for a full 8 days. It has already pa.s.sed theprime sales period. Normally, the sales volume should be getting less every dayand entering the late stage of acc.u.mulation.
But no oneexpected that this alb.u.m to go against the trend and sold 50,000 copies onSeptember 16, which was unbelievable and enviable - Your mother, this was too outrageous!
This miracleonce again strongly proved Chen Guodong’s a.s.sertion about the “silentmajority”.
Because bythis time, there shouldn't be many inherent fans of Lu Chen buying the alb.u.m.
The successof “You Who Sat Next To Me” made Lu Chen’s originally decliningpopularity erupt again, and many entertainment agencies and advertisers have calledor took the initiative to contact Lu Chen Studio for cooperation.
Performance,endors.e.m.e.nt, buying songs… made Lu Xi so busy, and her cellphone hasn't stopringing all day long.
Of course,Lu Chen left all these matters to his elder sister.
He believedthat his sister will be able to handle it.
As for LuChen himself, of course, it was impossible for him to be idle.
At 1 pm onSeptember 17, he went to the Beijing Satellite TV Building to partic.i.p.ate inthe rehearsal of the National Day Party of the satellite TV station.
