Chapter 99 97. Ten million sales on the first day! The first trainee since the Internet age!
Fang Xueshu looked up at Wu Tong: "How long has it been uploading?"
Wu Tong looked at the time, and then at the recording scene just after get off work: "It's less than an hour!"
The two were silent again, and the sales figures on the screenshot became extremely eye-catching.
"Wang Cheng's appeal needs to be reassessed."
Wu Tong said softly.
Fang Xueshu hummed, and buried the dissatisfaction in his heart again.
He gets off work at one o'clock, so he didn't do anything wrong...
The sales of their new song exceeded 1.8 million within an hour of its release, bringing a lot of attention and enthusiasm to the program that will be broadcast tomorrow, which is higher than the contribution of all the people combined.
What's wrong with getting off work on time?
Fang Xueshu asked again: "How much was the broadcast volume of the last episode?"
Wu Tong smiled a little: "I asked last night, and the playback volume has exceeded 50 million, with an average of 7 million per day. The advertising share of Penguin Video has increased a bit."
Fang Xueshu listened, with a smile on his face.
50 million broadcasts a week, which is already the highest figure since their program was produced, and the increase in player advertising fees can bring an intuitive increase in revenue for the program.
Of course, next year's advertising sponsorship revenue will be the bigger one. This year's ratings have increased significantly, and next year's advertising sponsorship will of course also increase significantly.
However, although the playback volume of 50 million a week is high, neither of them is satisfied.
Wu Tong glanced at the stage, and said seriously: "There are still two episodes left, try to surpass the Eastern Star."
Last time, Oriental Star’s weekly broadcast volume exceeded 100 million, setting a modest record, which brought great benefits to Oriental Star.
Now, Wang Cheng has you in spring and summer, and your popularity and fans are higher than then.
Why can't it surpass Oriental Star in an all-round way?
3.5 ratings record, broken!
The weekly record of over 100 million broadcasts has also been broken!
Fang Xueshu thought for a while and said, "By the way, the single dormitory that Wang Cheng lives in now feels a bit shabby. How about booking a suite for him in the hotel next door?"
Wu Tong looked at Fang Xueshu, thinking that your licking is a bit obvious, and then shook his head slightly: "Forget it, don't use it for now. I will ask him next time to see if he needs it."
Fang Xueshu: "Didn't he say on the train last time that he wants a house of his own!"
Wu Tong was taken aback for a moment, then remembered that Wang Cheng had told them on the train last time that he would keep making money by singing songs until he could afford a house by the Huangpu River!
So, Wang Cheng may have relatively high requirements for housing?
Wu Tong immediately said: "Then book him a presidential suite, book it for a month directly, and you can get a discount..."
Fang Xueshu: "Okay, let's book the presidential suite."
Wu Tong directly picked up the phone and called Wang Cheng.
Wang Cheng was still reading at this time and was about to lie down and take a nap. When he saw Wu Tong calling, he connected it.
Wang Cheng on the opposite side didn't speak, Wu Tong smiled and said, "Wang Cheng, didn't I disturb your lunch break?"
Wang Cheng: "No, what's the matter?"
Talk about things if you have something to do, hang up if you have nothing to do!
Wu Tong understood what Wang Cheng meant, and was used to Wang Cheng's style, so he didn't mind, so he said directly, "Are you satisfied with your current residence? We are worried that you will not live well, and we plan to book you a room in the hotel not far away." How about staying in the presidential suite for you until the end of the program recording?"
Presidential suite?
Wang Cheng has stayed there countless times in his previous life. Apart from being more comfortable, there is no other benefit for him now. It is too high-profile, there are many people in the hotel, and he often encounters paparazzi. He immediately refused: "No, just Living in a dormitory is fine."
After speaking, Wang Cheng was ready to hang up the phone.
Wu Tong hurriedly asked: "Okay, have you seen the sales of your new song?"
Wang Cheng: "No!"
Wu Tong was not surprised by Wang Cheng's answer, he was used to it: "Okay, you have a good rest, goodbye."
Wang Cheng doesn't care about what they care about.
Snapped!
Wang Cheng had already hung up the phone, turned on the mute and lay down to sleep.
Wu Tong shook his head, smiled wryly, and the other party learned the book and said, "Forget it, he doesn't need it. Let's go, let's go eat too."
Fang Xueshu nodded, thinking about Wang Cheng's behavior, but still felt strangely uncertain.
Several assistant directors and staff members around heard the conversation between the two and looked at each other with strange expressions.
…
The recording of the program is over, it is a rare day off!
Wang Cheng took a nap and woke up. Instead of staying in the dormitory and reading, he went for a walk outside to get some fresh air. Then he came back to write for a while, and then continued to read!
It was not until dinner time that Wang Cheng walked out of the dormitory again and went to the cafeteria to eat.
Huang Bin and Mo Bailin also slept all afternoon to make up for the lack of sleep in the past few days. They waited outside for Wang Cheng and went to eat with Wang Cheng.
Seeing Wang Cheng appearing, Huang Bin and Mo Bailin all followed.
Huang Bin smiled and said: "Hahaha, Wang Cheng's performance today is definitely the most exciting. Mr. Sun said that he learned a lot from following us."
Mo Bailin asked in a low voice: "Wang Cheng, our new song has been released for so long, how many sales have it had?"
Several people are looking at Wang Cheng eagerly, this is the main reason they are waiting for Wang Cheng...
They can see that this song seems to be very popular from the popularity of the Internet, so their fan growth rate has increased again. In this afternoon alone, Huang Bin has more than 300,000 fans, and Mo Bailin has more fans There are 200,000 fans, and several others have also added about 100,000 fans.
They naturally want to know at this time, how many sales of the songs they sang?
Wang Cheng understood their feelings very well, so he didn't refuse. He took out his mobile phone and boarded the backstage of Penguin Music, and handed it to Huang Bin directly.
Huang Bin and Mo Bailin took it and gathered around to look carefully.
First, they saw Jingwumen's sales volume of more than 13 million, which they were envious of before.
And then came the wuha they sang by themselves. The sales volume has reached 12 million, and they will soon catch up with Jingwumen. This makes them a little proud, and they can completely surpass Zhang Hanwen and the others.
Finally, the gecko walk was uploaded just after 1:00 noon. It has only been more than seven hours, but the sales volume has exceeded five million, and the sales growth rate is astonishing.
Several people smiled in surprise.
"Wow, so many?"
"That's more than five million? It's more popular than the previous two songs."
"Isn't it going to sell over 10 million tomorrow? Hahaha, cool."
"Awesome!"
"Brother Cheng, you are amazing."
Aside from being pleasantly surprised, of course they didn't forget to brag to Wang Cheng.
Wang Cheng looked calm and didn't care about what the children said. He just took the mobile phone that Huang Bin handed over and went to cook.
Seeing that Wang Cheng didn't even look at the data on his phone, Huang Bin smiled awkwardly, followed Wang Cheng to eat, and said in a low voice, "Wang Cheng, I'll tell you something."
Wang Cheng nodded: "Yes!"
Huang Bin lowered his voice: "Director Liu just called me to ask about your situation, and asked if he could ask you for a song, but I said I couldn't."
Want a song?
Liu Jinfeng is going to take a curve to save the country. Why don't you come and talk to yourself and ask others to ask for it?
Wang Cheng smiled lightly: "You are right."
Huang Bin nodded, knowing that he was not qualified to ask Wang Cheng for anything, and asked curiously, "I heard someone say that you owe Zhang Hanwen a song, right?"
Wang Cheng raised his eyebrows. Does everyone know about this?
He nodded: "Well, I promise to wait for his debut and write a song for him."
After hearing this, Huang Bin and Mo Bailin were full of envy.
Because those fans only recognize Wang Cheng.
However, if Wang Cheng gave Zhang Hanwen a song, he would give everything to Zhang Hanwen. Zhang Hanwen would benefit even more, and he could bypass Wang Cheng to promote himself.
Mo Bailin smiled and said, "Zhang Hanwen is really lucky."
Wang Cheng was noncommittal about this, just sat down to eat by himself, and stopped chatting with Huang Bin and the others.
Huang Bin and Mo Bailin saw that Wang Cheng didn't want to talk, so they kept silent and continued to eat.
After eating, Wang Cheng nodded to several people, got up and left.
Huang Bin and Mo Bailin all smiled at Wang Cheng and watched Wang Cheng leave...
Mo Bailin shook his head and said: "I heard from Brother Yong that now in the whole company, only Zhang Hanwen can chat with Wang Cheng, and often calls Wang Cheng in private. Others are not qualified! This kid Zhang Hanwen, no know how to do it..."
They haven't chatted with Wang Cheng for so long. They always talk about things when they have something to do, and shut up when they have nothing to do.
Inexplicably, several people felt that after they sang two songs by Wang Cheng, they didn't taste so good anymore, and they all envied Zhang Hanwen in their hearts.
They still lost to Zhang Hanwen.
…
Wang Cheng returned to the dormitory again, and received a message from Zhang Hanwen—Oriental Star is broadcast today, remember to watch it!
Wang Cheng replied with three simple words—no time!
Zhang Hanwen didn't speak any more, and wisely didn't bother Wang Cheng.
Wang Cheng has no interest in paying attention to the Oriental Star program group. It is just a program stage, and he has no habit of holding grudges. It has passed, so he doesn't bother to pay attention to it, so that he can live more easily.
But, he doesn't pay attention.
Most people in the entertainment industry and variety shows are paying attention.
They all want to know, can the Eastern Star rise and return to its peak in this issue?
Of course, they all know that it is almost impossible to return to the peak. For Dongfang Star, it is considered a success if it can stabilize the ratings of the previous episode, and it will be enough to transition smoothly until the end of this season.
But…
When the ratings data came out after the program was broadcast, the industry was still in an uproar.
because.
The ratings of this episode of Oriental Star was only 1.6 at the beginning of the broadcast, and then the trend was very stable, maintaining between 1.6 and 1.5, the lowest being 1.5, and the highest being 1.65!
Such ratings are definitely considered a success for an ordinary traffic variety show.
However, for Dongfang Star, it was going from a peak to a trough.
The Oriental Star program group still conducts publicity as usual, and the companies behind each contestant still invest some resources in hype to attract popularity.
Zhang Hanwen and the others have all enjoyed the company's resources. After all, he is now a second-tier cafe, and he still has a long-term contract with the company for seven or eight years. He must be the backbone of the company behind him, and Liu Jinfeng can no longer ignore it.
Wang Cheng was about to go to bed when he received a call from Wu Tong.
Wu Tong: "Wang Cheng, have you watched the Eastern Star?"
Wang Cheng: "No!"
Wu Tong was silent for two seconds, then asked again: "Do you know the ratings of Oriental Star just now?"
Wang Cheng still replied: "I don't know!"
Wu Tong doubted in his heart, is Wang Cheng from the entertainment circle?
The nineteen-year-old felt like an outsider at times.
Wu Tong let go of the doubts in his heart, and continued: "The ratings of Oriental Star this episode continue to decline, only about 1.6. It is completely useless! I heard that Oriental Star will stop producing next year! I hope, we The cooperation between them can be stabilized.”
Wang Cheng said calmly: "Director Wu, I respect the contract."
Wu Tong felt relieved: "Okay, I won't disturb your rest."
Wang Cheng: "Well, goodbye."
Wu Tong: "Goodbye!"
hang up the phone.
Wang Cheng packed up and lay down to sleep.
But Wu Tong is still in charge of the post-production. Together with Fang Xueshu, they are going to stay up late tonight.
Seeing the ratings of Oriental Star, the two of them were also trembling in their hearts. The production of the program was like walking on eggshells. Every detail was carefully considered to ensure that the stage effect they wanted most was achieved. They were afraid that any mistake in the details would affect the broadcast tomorrow night. ratings.
…
the next day.
Wang Cheng just got up at six o'clock when he received another call from Wu Tong.
"Wang Cheng, remember to post a message on Weibo today to warm up the broadcast of the show, please."
Wu Tong didn't sleep all night, and now he's stuck waiting for Wang Cheng to wake up before calling Wang Cheng.
Witnessing the decline in the ratings of Oriental Star yesterday, Wu Tong used all resources to warm up for the show to be broadcast tonight.
Every trainee contestant, every judge, has already sent a few messages for tonight's show, all kinds of calls to fans to remember to watch.
Wu Tong didn't call Wang Cheng until this morning.
Wang Cheng agreed: "Okay, this is my job."
Finished speaking.
Wang Cheng hung up, and posted a message on Weibo: "Spring and Summer with You will be broadcast at 8:30 tonight, everyone remember to watch!"
After sending out, I started to wash up, and then went out for a morning run.
Wu Tong was staring at Wang Cheng's Weibo. Seeing that Wang Cheng was very cooperative, he immediately posted a Weibo message with a smile on his face. The other party said, "This is what Wang Cheng said. Respect the contract. Work hard. He regards posting on Weibo as part of his job, and there are also requirements in the contract, he is obliged to cooperate with the program group for regular publicity through social accounts!"
Fang Xueshu: "This is both the content of the contract and work, so is he willing to cooperate?"
Wu Tong nodded: "Yes!"
Fang Xueshu looked at Wu Tong with a smile and said, "You have understood Wang Cheng's research."
Wu Tong shook his head and said nothing, just staring at Wang Cheng's Weibo, looking at Wang Cheng's Weibo account with more than 23 million fans. It quickly attracted a large number of fans to watch.
In just a few minutes, tens of thousands of people liked and forwarded it, and the number of comments exceeded thousands of people!
The popularity and stickiness of the fans, as well as the appeal, are no less than those of the top super line, even the super giants.
Not long after, the Weibo news posted by Wang Cheng rushed to the top ten.
"The propaganda department of the program group will immediately cooperate with the hype..."
Wu Tong said.
Fang Xueshu nodded to express his understanding. He came to stay up late and work overtime with the program group, just for a psychological effect, without any substantive effect. He just listened to Wu Tong's arrangements and expressed his high recognition of Wu Tong's ability.
Ding, Wu Tong received another message, glanced at it, and turned the phone to Fang Xueshu: "Look!"
Fang Xueshu only glanced at it, his pupils froze, and asked in amazement, "Is it true?"
Wu Tong took back the phone: "Of course it's true."
Fang Xueshu took Wu Tong's phone again, and looked at it carefully: "How can this song Gecko Walk be so popular? It hasn't been a day yet, has it sold more than 8 million? Will it sell over 10 million in one day? This song, I just feel weird when I listen to it, it’s more comfortable, nothing special.”
Wu Tong shook his head, and said: "I have the same thoughts as you, but that's just our own feelings, not the market. This song is very popular among young people. Those young people in the program group are all singles on repeat. Listen to it. I heard that this song was played in some night shows last night."
"On short video platforms such as Douyue and Weishi, the combined play volume of this song has exceeded 50 million, which is just less than a day's worth of data."
"I asked several music professionals, and they all spoke highly of this song, saying that Wang Cheng is showing off his skills. Do you understand what it means to show off his skills?"
Fang Xueshu smiled wryly, and returned the phone to Wu Tong. Of course, he understood the meaning of showing off skills, which meant that the quality of the song was very high, and said, "So, the ratings of our show tonight will definitely not be bad."
Wu Tong nodded affirmatively, and said expectantly: "Yes, that's for sure! This song has sold more than 10 million in a single day, and the popularity is extremely high. Our lower limit of ratings will not be too low, it depends on how high we can climb. "
Sold over 10 million in a single day...
Since the era of online music, very few people can do it, and only one or two people can do it every year.
This year, before Wang Cheng, there was only one person who had done it. It was a new song released by one of the few super-top streamers in the traffic star circle. Over 12 million, creating the highest single-day sales volume of the year, and of course it is impossible to achieve such a high sales volume every day in the follow-up. The monthly sales stopped at 35 million, and won the sales champion of the month, which is also the highest monthly sales volume so far this year. single.
Now, Wang Cheng is the second celebrity artist to do this this year, and he did it as a nineteen-year-old trainee, definitely the first in the history of the Internet music era.
