Chapter 94

She spent most of her time filming back-to-back.

Sometimes she and Su Chen were not even at the same filming location.

Once filming wrapped, she would frantically catch up on sleep.

There was little free time.

Even when free, opportunities for solitude were rare.

But Tang Yan still made time.

She took Su Chen to a large recording studio.

They recorded all three songs he sang.

The three most important parts of a song: lyrics, melody, and arrangement.

All were ready-made.

Handed over to a professional company, production was completed in a month.

Furthermore, Tang Yan used her connections.

To contact the official Penguin Music platform.

And exclusively signed Su Chen's three songs.

The price offered by Penguin Music was two million per song.

A total of six million!

Buying out the copyright for the three songs.

However, Su Chen still chose to sign a revenue-sharing contract.

He would take only fifteen percent of sales as his share.

This meant.

The three songs would need to sell for over forty million.

For Su Chen's share to exceed the buyout fee.

The current Chinese music scene is in poor shape.

It is almost monopolized by traffic singers.

Don't be fooled by those traffic singers who, upon releasing an album, easily sell millions or even tens of millions of copies.

In reality, it is all fabricated prosperity created by capital operations behind the scenes.

Tang Yan was also puzzled by Su Chen's choice.

After all, Su Chen is an actor, not a singer.

The reason he agreed to release these three songs.

Was purely because Tang Yan urged him.

To put it plainly, it was just for fun, to earn some pocket money!

Turning down a steady six million.

He insisted on taking a risk.

What if sales were dismal and he ended up with nothing?

Su Chen's total savings didn't even reach ten million.

Losing several million.

That would hurt for a year!

One hour after Su Chen's singles went online.

Tang Yan took the video of Su Chen singing that she had filmed earlier.

And posted it on her Weibo and Douyin accounts.

Promoting Su Chen and boosting his popularity.

One hour, fifty thousand!

Six hours, two hundred and fifty thousand!

Twelve hours after launch.

The total sales amounted to only six hundred thousand.

For a newcomer like Su Chen just stepping into the music scene.

This result was quite good.

But if this trend continued.

For these three singles to accumulate sales of forty million.

It would take ten or eight years.

However, in today's era, the internet is extremely advanced.

Any work with solid quality.

Once its reputation spreads online.

Sales data will explode instantly.

Many movies have pitifully low box office returns in their initial release.

But their quality is very high.

Waiting for the reputation to ferment bit by bit online.

It could then trigger massive public attention.

Thereby forming a trend.

Attracting countless netizens to flock and watch, leading to a massive explosion in popularity.

Therefore, after achieving 1.3 million in sales on the first day.

Penguin Music's official team had expected a snowballing decline in the days to follow.

Astonishingly,

these three songs spread by word of mouth across the internet.

They quickly sparked intense attention.

They were even pushed to the top of the trending charts on major platforms.

Many netizens approached it with a "let's try it" mindset.

After listening to the three songs, they felt they were very good.

They then recommended them to friends and family.

Like a pyramid scheme, it instantly spread across the entire web.

On the second day, single-day sales directly broke through 7 million.

On the third day, it surpassed ten million!

This was because many wealthy individuals would purchase tens of thousands of copies at once.

Giving them away for free to netizens.

This situation is very common among traffic singers.

The rich female fans of some traffic singers

would directly spend millions or tens of millions after they released new albums.

Buying huge quantities of albums to give away for free to netizens.

Helping traffic singers with promotion and boosting their performance metrics.

They might not even listen to the music themselves.

The explosion of the three singles

also pushed the video filmed by Tang Yan to the trending charts.

Many viewers who were listening to the songs

saw Su Chen's breathtaking appearance and instantly became his die-hard fans.

And Su Chen's beauty fans,

after hearing his songs, were also conquered by his talent.

A virtuous cycle was formed.

Subsequently,

Tang Yan received a rough estimated figure from Penguin Music's official team.

Su Chen's song, over the next six months,
