When Yang Yi took Xixi to visit the temple fair, the scandal between Mo Fei and Ju Jie quietly subsided. After all, Ju Jie's reputation was too bad, and Mo Fei was unwilling to cooperate with him. Therefore, several media outlets were stirring things up, as if they were clowns dancing, and the attention on them had decreased a lot.
In addition, a more shocking thing happened in the entertainment industry not long ago!
With almost no warm-up, Harbor City star Chen Yijie's new album, "Long Time Not Seen", which he had been working on for two years, was released! However, under such circumstances, the sales of "Long Time Not Seen" in the first two days were jaw-dropping, breaking the number of one million!
One must know that the market for Cantonese songs itself was limited, and it didn't have a huge audience like Mandarin. The Copyright Association set the standard for a Cantonese album's platinum album at five million copies!
Obviously, with the current momentum, it was only a matter of time before "Long Time Not Seen" got the honor of a platinum album!
Moreover, whether it was the industry or Chen Yijie's fans, almost all of them had the highest praise for this album. The good reputation was hyped up, and it naturally had a great impact on the sales of this album!
Interestingly, because the album "Long Time Not Seen" was full of Cantonese songs, the second title song of the same name was a Mandarin version, so the Mandarin entertainment industry also paid attention to this news.
Soon, they found that the Mandarin song "Long Time Not Seen" was surprisingly good!
As a result, in the vast Mandarin market, this song also began to spread — although many people could only pay to download it through the Internet, the popularity of this song had become a phenomenon!
"Who is Mu Ziang?"
More record companies and agencies responded quickly and cast their eyes on the two songwriters of the title song with different lyrics.
However, because the Copyright Association's information was set to be unreadable by the author, those who were interested all ran into a wall.
Of course, the popularity of Chen Yijie's new album was not good for Murphy. Although she bought the album to appreciate and learn, Murphy herself had to admit that the current level of attention she received had been affected, and this impact was reflected in the album sales!
Murphy didn't care. Instead, she was very happy. She felt that the previous sales were too fake. She wanted real results, even if the results were very bad and would make her sad. However, she felt more relaxed than deliberately using scandals to cheat sales.
After the deadline with Sister Ling, Murphy immediately asked Mo Xiaojuan to meet with a familiar reporter and officially clarified to the public, "I, Murphy, am still single. Ju Jie and I are just ordinary colleagues. The photos that were circulated before looked intimate because of the angle, but that's not the case!"
This clarification was very much like Murphy's style.
Regardless of whether people would approve of it, after it was released, it didn't cause much of a stir. The fans that had been lost due to the previous scandals were also difficult to recover. The sales of her album, which had exploded due to the scandals in the beginning, had once again slowed down and declined …
Finally, Murphy's last album sales week has passed. Although her album can still be sold, it now depends on the mood of the owners of the major stores and music stores.
In some ways, the sales of records in this world were a bit like the release of a movie. The copyright association explicitly required all sales channels to reserve the first few rows of shelves for records released within a month. Of course, whether it sold well or not and whether it was placed at the front depended on one's ability!
To a certain extent, this protected the rights and interests of various creators, but it also made the competition in the record market more intense. Unless it was a boss who relied on feelings to support it, market factors often determined the retention of outdated records in their stores.
Once this month was over, without the support of the copyright association's mandatory shelving month, records that didn't sell well would often be removed or left in an inconspicuous corner to eat dust …
Obviously, Murphy's new album wasn't so good that it could still be retained after a month … Especially in the very competitive entertainment industry of this world.
According to the feedback from the company's marketing department, after the time point, Murphy's album sales began to decline in a precipitous manner from the next day onwards, with only a two-digit daily increase …
With such results, Murphy's blow was not only from the outside world's cynicism, but she could also clearly feel the change in the attitude of the other people in the agency towards her.
There was less respect and praise from before, and more alienation and contempt.
Mo Xiaojuan felt it even more deeply. She had just gone to the bathroom and rushed back angrily, saying, "What kind of people are they? Snobbish! They used to call me Sister Juan so sweetly, but now, when we meet in the bathroom, they don't even want to say hello. They even rolled their eyes and spoke in a strange voice. "
Mo Xiaojuan didn't want to tell Murphy that those people had said those unpleasant words, such as disdaining Murphy as a faded flower, saying that Murphy occupied the company's biggest resources and blocked the development path of the small female stars they followed … These words were infuriating, and Mo Xiaojuan didn't want Murphy to be in a bad mood after hearing them.
"Forget it, we'll come back for the next album!" Murphy put down the book in her hand and comforted her assistant cousin.
"Actually, other people's criticism isn't without reason. I was too anxious to make a comeback and didn't choose a good song." Murphy began to reflect on herself, "Next time, I'd rather spend more time and have Sister Ling help me collect songs, choose good songs, and then polish them over and over again. I'm sure I'll be able to grind out a record that will satisfy the fans!"
Mo Xiaojuan faintly sighed and said, "Sister, you make it sound simple, but how many years will this grind take? Your contract with Sister Ling is about to expire at this time next year. Not to mention anything else, it's hard to say if Sister Ling is willing to sign a contract with us! "
It's not a contract, but a lot of things will be restricted in the future!
There were some words that Mo Xiaojuan didn't say out loud. She felt that the company wouldn't continue to invest a lot of resources in collecting songs for Murphy. Without good songs, it would be useless no matter how long they grind!
"What's more, what do we do during this time? Don't we have to eat? Just shut ourselves in the recording studio and practice? "Mo Xiaojuan said with a headache.
The entertainment industry is very cruel, and the economic contracts are the same. If Murphy earns money, the management company will split a lot of it with her. If she doesn't earn money, the management company won't give them a single cent to spend …
"Then I'll tell Sister Ling that I'll take on a few more commercial performances every month." Murphy was a little unwilling, but still said stubbornly.
"Ai, Sister, why are you working so hard?" Mo Xiaojuan couldn't help but ridicule.
Yes, why?
Murphy obviously wasn't doing it for money, nor was it for fame. Otherwise, she wouldn't have retired for Xi Xi. She also wouldn't have risked offending the TV station and rushed back to Jiangcheng from Shanghai for Xi Xi.
But she longed for this stage, longed for the state of singing for her fans on the concert stage!
She liked singing and didn't want to give up so easily.
Right! I can't give up!
Murphy thought for a long time. Her conviction was once again firm. She said to Mo Xiaojuan, "Xiaojuan, it's already very late. You should go back first. I'll listen to a few more songs to get the feeling!"
Mo Xiaojuan didn't move. She sat in her seat and stared blankly at the computer.
"What's wrong? Xiaojuan? "Murphy was curious and walked over.
"Sister …" Mo Xiaojuan's voice trembled with excitement. She pointed at the email page and asked, "This, this name, Mu Zi 'ang, where have I seen it before?"
