Fuzhou City, Academy Road.
Today was a Saturday, and the weather in Fuzhou City was exceptionally sunny. The sun shone brightly, and the temperature was just right. Thus, the business district around the college road was especially lively. Students from the surrounding universities were all out to shop, have fun, and go on dates.
Xinhua Book City, which was located in a prime location on Academy Road, was even more crowded. Every weekend, many students would come here to buy teaching materials and tutorials, or to read new books that had just been published. Usually, there would be authors signing books on the second floor of the book city on weekends.
In the Internet era, the business model of Xinhua Bookstore has also changed a lot. In addition to selling books, it has also carried out a variety of businesses. The renovated bookstore has a coffee shop, a milk tea ice cream shop, and a variety of audio-visual equipment and even toys.
In the past, cassette players, MP3 players, original cassettes, CDs, DVDs, and so on were the best-selling products in bookstores. But now, there were very few people who bought CDs. Everyone was used to buying and downloading digital music on the Internet.
Therefore, the scale of the display cabinets selling these goods has shrunk Big and retreated to the corner, but it has not disappeared, because most of the singers who release albums often use the channels of Xinhua Bookstore to sell physical CDs and peripheral products.
The cassette players of the past had now been replaced by USB drives, CD sets, dolls, figurines, and so on. There were also large celebrity posters.
[The Original Dream – Tong Xinyao's First Album Grandly Released!]
Today, the promotional theme of the Xinhua Book Store's video and entertainment exhibition area in Fuzhou City's Academy Road was clearly expressed through the color-printed posters, colorful spray-on banners, posters, and so on hanging high above the counters.
However, many people were unfamiliar with the name Tong Xinyao and didn't have much interest in her, but many students recognized the girl with a bright smile on the poster.
"Tong Xinyao, I think she's the runner-up of China's Sing!"
"Yes, I've seen her performance. It's not bad."
"Wow! Is she releasing a new album now? "
While people were talking, the big screen TV hanging on the wall of the exhibition area switched, and a beautiful melody poured out from the hi-fi speakers.
"If pride hadn't been coldly slapped by the sea of reality,
How would he know how hard he had to work.
Only then could he walk far away.
If dreams never fell off a cliff,
It was a close call.
How would he know a persistent person,
It has invisible wings.
Plant your tears in your heart,
Will blossom brave flowers,
When you are tired,
Close your eyes and smell a fragrance,
… "
On the TV, a young girl was running along a path full of flowers. She had a ponytail, and her face and forehead were covered in sparkling sweat. Although she was tired, her eyes were bright and full of determination.
She ran against the wind, accompanied by the singing. The picturesque Mediterranean Sea appeared in front of her, and there were many Greek stone houses standing by the sea.
His first dream!
The refreshing and energetic singing quickly spread throughout the bookstore. The music video appeared on all the TV screens, attracting the attention of the men and women who were in the bookstore.
Today, the customers who visited Xinhua Bookstore were mainly students. Many of them were young people in their twenties. It was the first time for them to hear this song that expressed their feelings and was full of inspirational spirit.
"… …
My first dream is held tightly in my hands.
The place he wanted to go the most.
How could they turn back halfway!
His initial dream would definitely come true.
True desire fulfilled,
Only then would he be able to calculate that he had passed through heaven!
… "
The song was telling people that no matter what difficulties and setbacks they encountered, as long as they stick to their "original dream" and recall the efforts they made to realize their dreams, they would never give up easily.
Only by working hard to stick to their dreams, can they achieve it one day!
Youth was flying, and it was the time when people had the most dreams. This song undoubtedly touched the hearts of young boys and girls. The impassioned melody and spirited lyrics undoubtedly deeply moved them.
Unknowingly, the audio-visual entertainment exhibition area on the second floor of Xinhua Bookstore was surrounded by many customers.
On the large poster, Tong Xinyao smiled at everyone, full of sunshine and confidence.
… …
On December 16, Tong Xinyao's debut solo album, "Original Dream", signed by Chen Fei Media's artist, was released in Xinhua Bookstores all over the country, and a digital version was simultaneously sold on QQ Music.
As early as last month, the album was launched on the online crowdfunding website. Because it was personally produced by Lu Chen, the results of the crowdfunding pre-sale were quite good, and it ranked among the best among the new singers who debuted this year.
Compared with the crowdfunding pre-sale, the online and offline sales results in the next three days were the key to determining the future fate of this album. Chen Fei Media has also made careful preparations for this.
Unlike many well-known entertainment record companies in the industry, before the album was released, Chen Fei Media did not carry out large-scale high-intensity promotion and publicity for Tong Xinyao, or hire professional public relations companies to hype.
This made people feel that Chen Fei Media didn't seem to attach much importance to Tong Xinyao and was unwilling to spend a lot of effort on marketing.
There was even a rumor in the circle that Chen Fei 'er didn't want a newcomer who could threaten her position in the company, so she wouldn't invest too much in Tong Xinyao and wanted to suppress Tong Xinyao.
This kind of rumor was quite popular, and even some unscrupulous media used obscure writing techniques to expose it.
But both Tong Xinyao herself and the employees of Chen Fei Media knew that this kind of rumor was completely nonsense. It was true that the company didn't vigorously promote it, but the investment in this album was not small at all.
In the album, the music videos of several songs, including the title song "Original Dream", were shot in Crete, Greece, a world-famous tourist destination. This investment alone cost millions!
There was no wantonly hype, but the production was not ambiguous at all. Moreover, the investment in a sales terminal like Xinhua Book City was not cheap. It could be said that good steel was used on the edge of the blade.
On December 17, the 24-hour sales results of "Original Dream" were released, including a total of 37560 sets of CD records and commemorative sets, and QQ Music sold 51350 copies!
This result immediately caused a lot of sensation in the industry.
Because the sales of the previous physical album were crowdfunded first, there was nothing to make a fuss about, but the sales of the digital album exceeded 50,000 copies, which surprised people.
It should be known that a few years ago, Lu Chen's debut album "You Who Sat Next To Me" only sold more than 60,000 copies in 24 hours on QQ Music.
People seemed to see a rising star in the music industry!
