Novel Full Chapter 65
Chapter 65 – Downturn and Popularity
Mo Fei’s situation is not good!
Yesterday,her new album went on sale. She participated in the recording of a music hit listprogram on Shanghai TV Station and a live recording on Shanghai Radio. She wasbusy working until late into the night.
However,sometimes hard work doesn’t pay off.
For example,album sales……
Early in themorning, Mo Fei, who hadn’t slept for several hours, woke up. With pale lips,she, who was holding her cellphone, couldn’t wait to ask Mo Xiaojuan, “Doyou have the data? How much?”
Mo Xiaojuanhesitated for a moment, then told Mo Fei the situation: “26,000…”
This is thelatest data obtained within the company through the Copyright Association. Generally,this data will be delayed for several hours before it is published on the websiteof the Copyright Association.
26,000… MoFei was stunned, and her cold eyes showed a gloomy look.
The firstday’s sales exceeded 10,000. In Yang Yi’s previous life, this sales volume wouldhave been enough to be written as a significant event, and it would have beenexpected to reach the standards of platinum record at the end of the sale!
But it shouldbe known that the copyright protection in this world is the best, and people’sawareness of supporting genuine records is unprecedentedly strong! So, in thisworld, the platinum record standard in Mandarin areas is not 1 million or 10million, but a jaw-dropping 20 million!
But even so,there are still one or two platinum records popping up in the country everyyear, which shows how popular the record market is.
However, itnow appears that this honor has nothing to do with Mo Fei, who sold only morethan 20,000 on the first day. Mo Fei, who is not a first timer to release analbum, knows that this time she may encounter a flop.
“SisterLing said you shouldn’t be discouraged. This is just the beginning. We stillhave a chance!” Mo Xiaojuan cheer her up.
But Mo Feionly smiled bitterly.
Indeed, It’snot that there are no stories where there is a downturn in the early stage andlater have a reversal in the later stage by relying on word of mouth, but thistime, it is not same for Mo Fei. She still knows that the quality of her newalbum is unsatisfactory, and the only thing she can play is the sentimentalcard!
It can besaid that the sales on the first day almost reflect the effect of her playingthis sentimental card – most of her die-hard fans who are willing to supporther will choose to buy on this day, right?
However, misfortunenever came alone. Just when Mo Fei was depressed, she received a call from the nanny,who was dying of anxiety and hurriedly told her that Xixi was gone!
At thattime, Mo Fei seemed to be thunderstruck and almost fainted.
Fortunately…It was really Yang Yi, this scoundrel, who “picked up” Xixi. Although Mo Feican’t figure out what means Yang Yi used to do it, this wasn’t important!
Theimportant thing is, Xixi is safe.
But her moodswings so much that Mo Fei was no longer in the mood to record the program. Shehurriedly asked Mo Xiaojuan to help her round up the show and arrange thefollow-up, and then she asked the driver to drive to Jiangcheng.
“Wait aminute, my big sister, are you crazy?” Mo Xiaojuan pulled her desperately,“What kind of temper are you playing with us at this time? Do you know howserious the consequences will be if you stood someone up else tonight? Have youforgotten Liu Shifang?”
Mo Feistopped her footsteps. Liu Shifang’s slander had a great impact on her. Howcould Mo Fei not remember. Isn’t the reason why she agreed with the company toarrange so many itineraries to eliminate the influence of the previous almostone-sided public opinion?
However, if MoFei compromised, she will not be the Mo Fei who chose to quit the entertainmentindustry for the sake of her child.
“You helpme apologize to the TV station and the director and see if you can coordinateuntil tomorrow.” Mo Fei said in a low voice.
“Tomorrow?You still have an itinerary at the Beijing TV Station tomorrow!” MoXiaojuan said anxiously.
“Then thinkof a way and help me explain.” Mo Fei looked tired. All she can thinkabout now is Xixi. If she doesn’t see her with her own eyes, she may not beable to feel at ease.
The carleft, leaving behind Xiaojuan, who was in a mess. She wanted to cry but have notears: “How can I put up with a big sister that pit her young sister!”
…….
The firstday sales of Mo Fei’s new album were terrible, which Yang Yi had no way ofknowing. But what he can know is that his new book, “Drawing Sword”, releasedthe day before, has been very popular from the start!
There was noslow built up, the first chapter came to a full-on war. The protagonist LuYunlong, with his farmer-type cunningness, wiped out the Yamazaki brigade,which was defending its position and had caused huge casualties to the Chinesetroops!
But a bigvictory is only the climax. It’s the process that makes readers obsessed!
Shortlyafter the release, Mu Yucheng, who claims to be a die-hard fan of Yang Yi,couldn’t wait to publish his own book review: “The great Yang is still thegreat Yang, but the protagonist is more interesting!”
The above isthe title, and the main text follows: “The website has not published GreatYang’s identity information, but there is no doubt that the Great Yang musthave been from a rural background, and he has been a soldier!” .
In his works,we can see the simplicity of a Chinese farmer, such as Xu Sanduo in “Soldier Assault”,as well as their unique cunningness, such as Li Yunlong in the “Drawing Sword”!
Li Yunlongis a regiment commander, but he doesn’t look like a high-ranking militaryofficer. On the contrary, he is like the vulgar, uneducated little farmer weusually know.
Look at hisconversation with the cook, Old Wang. When he looks at him and said, “Inyour dreams. I’ll give you the blade. What does Laozi do? Rush with a kitchenknife and rice spoon. If you really can’t do it, just take a load and think ofa way!’
Later, afterLi Yunlong won a great victory, he was not complacent. Instead, he jumped to theground for the sake of the soldiers that failed to fight the other side to beatCaptain Yamazaki into a sieve. ’Which dog / mother / son was killed byYamazaki? Stand up for me!’
It is notsurprising that such a farmer, who doesn’t know big words, has become ourprotagonist, just like Xu Sanduo. On the contrary, I also appreciate hispersonality.
As we allknow, in the first half of the last century, our country fell to the enemy, thewarlords in our country were divided, and our country was beset by internal andexternal troubles. At that time, it was precisely a group of farmers andstudents with humble background who stood up and united our country’s forces,then beat the enemy out, and why we have our present life.
Yang Yi’sbook is as exquisite as ever, and the story is as fascinating as ever. I amreally curious about how this vulgar Li Yunlong will lead his troops to dealwith the Japanese invaders, and bring endless trouble to the enemy in thefuture!
The firstchapter made me fall in love with this book completely, but unfortunately,there is no more! Yang Yi, you b*stard, update it quickly! “
Like Mu Yucheng,there were many book fans who can’t wait to finish the first chapter of “DrawingSword” and then express their feelings of delight. The book review areathat has just been opened has suddenly become very lively.
Needless tosay, “Drawing Sword” was very popular!
According toEditor Qiang Zi, who couldn’t wait to announce the good news, on the first dayof the release of Yang Yi’s new book, the number of subscriptions aloneexceeded one million (the unit price of subscriptions in this world is verylow, so don’t be too surprised), and the daily sales have broken 10,000!
Althoughthis is not a record-breaking data, limited by the subject matter, it is stilla long way from breaking records! But this is still the best militaryliterature column in recent years!
What’s more,Yang Yi’s books has never won by sales volume. According to the statistics of QiangZi, the amount of reward on the day of release has already exceeded 1 million.According to their sharing agreement, Yang Yi can get at least 700,000!
However,Yang Yi didn’t care at all. He was neither ecstatic nor rejoicing with wild excitement,as if these were small occasions.
For Yang Yi now,in fact, like Mo Fei’s idea, everything else is put aside, Xixi’s care is themost important!
