Huayu: Starting from intercepting Duan Yu

Chapter 77: The gods fight, the album sells out! (Subscribe!)
This year's Golden Melody Awards ceremony was held on May 5th.

The Cannes Film Festival begins on May 5th.

It's just a few days away.

In addition, Xu Yi must go to Cannes in advance to make preparations.

Therefore, it is completely understandable that in order to participate in the Cannes Film Festival, they choose not to register for the Golden Melody Awards.

After all, one is an international award and the other is a small regional award.

One who wins it can become an internationally renowned director.

Winning one can only be considered as a bit of a reputation in the Chinese music circle.

Is there any need to explain the difference?

Compared with the Palme d'Or, the highest award at the Cannes Film Festival, the weight of a mere Golden Melody Award is naturally far less!
When the reporters at the scene heard Xu Yi's answer, they were immediately shocked!
"Director Xu, are you going to participate in the Cannes Film Festival selection?"

a reporter immediately asked.

Since it is a film festival, only films can participate in the selection.

"Yes, I just made a movie not long ago, and it passed the preliminary selection of the Cannes Film Festival and was shortlisted for the main competition unit."

Xu Yi replied with a smile.

Naturally, the reporters were shocked again!
Made it through the Cannes Film Festival preliminary selection?
Also shortlisted for the main competition unit?
This is definitely huge news!

And then, Xu Yi briefly introduced some details about the movie "Love".

Especially this movie, which he directed himself.

There were no other directors involved either.

The reporters were dumbfounded again!

You have to know that they call Xu Yi "Director Xu".

In fact, I don’t think Xu Yi really knows how to be a director.

When he filmed "Chinese Paladin", he was just credited as the director.

Unexpectedly, Xu Yi suddenly made another movie without making any noise.

It was also shortlisted for the main competition unit of the Cannes Film Festival!
This means that the quality and level of this movie will definitely not be bad!
Moreover, there are only a few directors in China who can make movies of this quality and level!

There is absolutely no way these directors would let Xu Yi be listed as one of their directors!
Then Xu Yi answered a few more questions and left with Lin Zhiling.

Seeing this scene, the reporters started taking pictures of the two people frantically again.

And if it were in the past, all kinds of "rumors" about Xu Yi and Lin Zhiling would definitely be spread all over the place tomorrow.

But now compared with the news that Xu Yi is about to participate in the Cannes Film Festival and has been shortlisted for the main competition unit.

The value of a mere "scandal" suddenly became much smaller!
Unless they can really capture some solid evidence!
That same evening, news about Xu Yi's upcoming participation in the Cannes Film Festival appeared on the official websites of major media outlets and the homepages of portals.

Countless netizens who saw the news were instantly shocked!

"Xu Yi is going to participate in the Cannes Film Festival? And he's been shortlisted for the main competition unit?"

“Is he really going to be a director?”

"Hahahahaha, Brother Xu Yi is awesome!"

"I hope Brother Xu Yi can win a big prize this time!"

"Big prize? Stop dreaming! Currently, only Brother Chen Kai has won the Palme d'Or, the highest award at the Cannes Film Festival. Not even Zhang Yimou has won it!"

"Really? If Brother Xu Yi really wins this golden award this time, won't he be able to surpass Zhang Yimou?"

"Is Zhang Yimou as handsome as Brother Xu Yi? Is his acting as good as Brother Xu Yi?"

"Who is Zhang Yimou to be compared with our brother Xu Yi?"

Netizens are talking a lot.

Some of Xu Yi's fans were dancing the most happily.

But there are also many black fans of Xu Yi who are madly trying to stir up trouble and play the opposite role!
As Xu Yi became more and more popular, his fame continued to rise.

Xu Yi's fans are becoming more and more arrogant.

The key is that Xu Yi can always slap these black fans in the face.

As a result, these Xu Yi's black fans now hate Xu Yi and his fans to the extreme!
But the problem is that Xu Yi’s movie this time has actually been shortlisted for the main competition unit of the Cannes Film Festival!
It’s also been posted on the official website of the Cannes Film Festival!

Even if they wanted to, they couldn't vilify it!
After all, you can’t say that the Cannes Film Festival is just a fake award!
So I can only try my best to stir up trouble and play the opposite role!

At the same time, no one mentioned the fact that Xu Yi did not register for the Golden Melody Awards.

Or even if someone mentions it, no one will care.

Because if Xu Yi really won the Palme d'Or, he would become an internationally renowned director.

So what if I look down on the Golden Melody Awards?
He is fully qualified!

But if Xu Yi returns empty-handed this time, he will be scolded!
Anyway, his black fans and the Taiwanese media will never let him go!
However, Xu Yi at this time did not know about this comment on the Internet.

Because at this moment he was lying on the big bed in a five-star hotel, enjoying Sister Zhiling's professional-level, Chinese-style service!

And according to Sister Zhiling herself, she learned these techniques many years ago.

But so far, the only one who has really had the opportunity to experience it is Xu Yi.

Including her "rumored" boyfriend Yan Chengxu, no one has ever experienced it!
After all, a master is a master.

Compared with Jin Yong, Master Gu obviously understands human nature better.

And understand women better!

……

In the blink of an eye, it was May.

This year's May Day holiday is still a seven-day holiday.

On the first day of the long holiday, Xu Yi also released his second album - "Chinese"!
The album contains ten songs in total, including the title song "Chinese".

As well as "Thousands of Miles Away", "Compendium of Materia Medica", "Listen to Mom", "Why Not", "Bare Face", "Rain on Qingming Festival", "Suddenly I Miss You So Much", "You Are Not Truly Happy", and "I Don't Want to Leave You Alone".

Among them, "Su Yan" was sung by him and Jing Tian together.

The reason why the album title and title song are "Chinese" is not because this song is better than other songs.

It’s because this song is easier to attract everyone’s attention at the first moment.

Also more positive energy!
At the same time, during this period, there were things happening at the Golden Melody Awards and the Cannes Film Festival.

There are also rumors about his affair with Lin Chi-ling.

Xu Yi also frequently appears in various entertainment news.

Coupled with his current popularity, it was no surprise that the album sold out immediately after it was released!

The same goes for Taiwan and Hong Kong!
After all, black and red are also red!
Besides, the quality of Xu Yi’s album is there!
You could say he has a flamboyant personality.

You could also say he's unique.

But it can't be said that he has no talent.

You can't even say he's not handsome enough!

In addition, saturation publicity is definitely necessary!
As early as half a month before the album was released, all the water armies had already been mobilized!

And all kinds of media have also been taken care of!

In a word, he wants to push the sales of this album to the limit!
Because as I recall, this year's Chinese music scene can be described as a real battle of the gods!
If he accidentally overturns the car, it will be a big joke!

……

In Xu Yi’s previous life, if there was a year in the Chinese music scene that could truly be described as a battle of the gods, it would undoubtedly be 2004.

This year, there were nine albums that sold over a million copies!

Among the three, Zhou, Wang and Lin, Junjie Lin's "Second Heaven" sold 150 million copies.

Wang Lihong's "The Sun and the Moon in My Heart" sold 160 million copies.

Jay Chou's "Qilixiang" sold 260 million copies.

There is also the less popular singer Sun Yanzi, whose album sold a full 250 million copies.

However, this year's album sales champion is a singer from the mainland.

He is also a new singer from mainland China.

That's Daolang!
The album "The First Snow of 2002" sold 270 million copies in mainland China with almost no official promotion!

If pirated copies are included, the sales volume is definitely over 10 million copies!
Just based on sales in mainland China, his sales have surpassed many Hong Kong and Taiwan singers!
You should know that the albums of these Hong Kong and Taiwan singers will not only be released in mainland China.

It will also be released in Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Chinese-speaking regions in Southeast Asia.

In Hong Kong, Taiwan and some economically developed Southeast Asian countries, piracy is far less than in the mainland!
However, Xu Yi didn't know these data.

He only knew that the album sales of many singers this year were explosive.

That's why he is so cautious.

Otherwise, if he knew that the sales of the famous album "Qilixiang" were not even as good as last year's "Ye Huimei".

Then he...

Well, he will still do the same as he does now and push all the publicity to the maximum.

This will not only earn you more points.

It can also make it impossible for singers of this era to make a comeback under his shadow!

Then on the first day of its release, Xu Yi’s album “Chinese” sold more than 40 copies!

Among them, there are 25 tape albums!

15 CD albums!

3 gift boxes!

Another 40 copies were sold the next day!

30 copies were sold on the third day!

30 copies on the fourth day!

20 copies on the fifth day!

20 copies on the sixth day!

20 copies on the seventh day!

During the entire seven-day May Day holiday, the total sales of "Chinese Language" exceeded 200 million copies!

Tourist attractions, commercial streets and shopping malls across the country are all playing songs from Xu Yi's album!

Especially the title song "Chinese", which dominated the entire May Day holiday just like "Good Luck Comes" dominated the Spring Festival!

And the comments online are all going viral!
Especially Xu Yi’s fans, they praised him to the sky!

"Brother Xu Yi is so handsome!"

"Brother Xu Yi's new album is so good!"

"Although Xu Yi's fans are annoying, I have to say that this guy's talent is truly amazing!"

"Although this guy is a bit arrogant sometimes, he does have the capital to be arrogant..."

"Who said our brother Xu Yi was arrogant? Our brother Xu Yi is just showing personality!"

"Only those without ability are arrogant. Our brother Xu Yi is so capable, so he is not arrogant, but his true nature!"

"Those who say Brother Xu Yi is arrogant are just jealous of our Brother Xu Yi!"

But as the long vacation ends.

And piracy began to increase.

Sales will definitely decline rapidly in the later period.

In addition, the current sales volume also includes the mainland, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and the entire Chinese-speaking region of Southeast Asia.

And this is the amount of goods purchased by dealers, not the actual sales volume.

However, except for the first batch of goods, which can be purchased with a 30% deposit, all subsequent purchases must be paid in cash.

Therefore, the amount of goods purchased by dealers can be completely equated with the actual sales volume.

Besides, which singer’s album sales are not inflated?
Calculating the actual sales volume based on the amount of goods purchased by dealers has already minimized the water content!
At the same time, Xu Yi’s album also sold out in Taiwan and Hong Kong!

Especially in Taiwan, sales exceeded 30 in seven days!
This is higher than the annual sales of "Ye Huimei" in Taiwan last year!

In addition, the sales of this gift box are also very good.

But it’s not because of the blind box.

It was because Xu Yi added a lot of sexy posters of Lin Zhiling into the gift box.

There is no way, Liu Yifei, Jing Tian, ​​and Yang Mi are all underage girls.

The poster style must also be conservative.

Naturally, she is far inferior to Lin Zhiling wearing Hi-Silk, who is more able to attract those LSPs!
