Chapter 1020 Version Released
With "Tears of Mermaid" now available online, only the last single from the album "Rain" has yet to be released.
The studio also announced the release time of the full version of the EP at the same time as releasing the physical pre-sale information.
The release of the full version of the EP did not take too long, and basically maintained the frequency of one new song per week.
One week after the release of "Tears of the Mermaid", the full version of "Rain" will be released.
Subconsciously, fans associated the new song with the program "Sound Source Live", and believed that Jiang Yuan should sing the song live for the first time in the program next week.
Therefore, everyone's attention is more focused on the actual album of "Rain".
Long before, the limited edition pre-sale of the EP "Rain" was opened.
Even though the price was relatively high, it still sold hundreds of thousands of copies.
But more fans who don't have such a large budget are waiting for the regular version of the album to go on sale.
After all, from a collection perspective, only regular versions of albums can be neatly placed together with previous physical albums.
After Jiang Yuan updated his status, he also looked at the fans’ feedback on Yuan Universe.
The reason why all versions were able to be pre-sold before the official release of the EP was that the physical album was completed much earlier than expected due to the expedited progress in various links.
As soon as the album went on sale, the album cover design and preview images of the version were also revealed to fans.
Jiang Yuan mainly checked what kind of feedback the fans would give on the album design. If the response was not very good, some modifications could be made immediately.
However, after searching and browsing the comments related to the physical album design in Yuan Universe, I found that everyone gave high praise to the physical version of "Rain" this time.
After reading the fans' feedback, Jiang Yuan felt relieved.
Unlike other works, physical copies of albums are usually only purchased by fans, so Jiang Yuan only needs to look at the fans' feedback.
Since it received a good response from the fan community, Jiang Yuan felt that there was no need to make any changes.
But I still took a quick look at the fans' rankings of their preference for different versions.
In previous physical albums, fans' favorite is the book-sized version, and this time seems to be no exception.
What makes this regular version different from previous ones is that it has a special version name, called the film version.
That's the so-called movie version.
The reason for this name is mainly because the photos in the album were shot one by one according to the concept of the EP songs.
Although they are static images, when people put together several different sets of photos, they unexpectedly found that these photos seemed to tell a story.
Especially when you flip through the pages one by one, after finishing reading you will have a sense of déjà vu as if you have watched a short movie.
With this effect in mind, Jiang Yuan had a brief discussion with the production team and came up with a version name for the film.
Only Jiang Yuan and others know the special features of the album's liner photos. The only detailed part that fans can get to know during the preview is the album's outer packaging.
"Rain" is still designed as a physical book, and the cover picture is a full-length photo of Jiang Yuan walking on the street with an umbrella.
And with this photo as the basis, there is an additional layer of transparent PVC book cover on the cover.
In addition to protecting the original cover, there are many raindrop patterns on the transparent PVC cover. When superimposed with the cover, you can see the picture of Jiang Yuan walking in the rain.
When the book cover is put on, it is a rainy day scene, and when the book cover is removed, it is a sunny day scene again.
The cover alone is enough to surprise the fans.
The configuration of the regular version is also built around the theme of movies.
From movie ticket stubs to films and folding posters, it can be considered a small innovation, at least it is different from previous album versions.
In addition, the lowest-priced paperback edition CD is still on sale this time.
The cover of the paperback edition also surprised fans.
Originally, everyone expected it to be a simple chocolate box like before, with a lyrics book and other features.
But this time the simplified CD comes with a white cover, which uses the same water-transformation process as the limited edition.
Many fans who are struggling to decide whether to buy the limited edition but do not have enough budget are very attracted by this craftsmanship.
For a time, it sparked a discussion in the Yuan Universe.
[What a luxurious configuration! ]
【As always, the food was great. 】
【This film version makes a lot of sense! 】
[The film looks so exciting. 】
[They actually directly applied the limited edition craftsmanship to the regular edition CD. How conscientious! 】
[No more words, just all in! ]
[You can always trust Jiang Yuan's aesthetics when making physical albums. 】
[Can you start pre-ordering now? I really want to know what the pre-order gift is. ]
-
After the information about the physical album was released, and the new songs were released, fans became quite excited.
Fans’ enthusiasm for buying is very high, and they are asking about the official start time of pre-sale under the relevant promotional pictures and texts.
This time, only the preview image was released and it was not put on sale. A big part of the reason was that they wanted to see the fans' feedback.
If there are parts that need to be modified, the pre-sale opening time will be slowed down.
Seeing that the response was so positive, the studio did not hesitate any longer and directly updated a new post, including the pre-sale time of the album and the cooperative sales platform.
Fans didn’t have to wait too long, as the pre-sale link went on sale the next morning.
After Jiang Yuan Studio confirmed the time, the cooperating e-commerce platforms also put up pre-sale links with countdown.
In addition to the pre-order gifts prepared by Jiang Yuan Studio for album pre-orders, different e-commerce platforms have also contacted Jiang Yuan to produce special gifts in order to attract fans to place orders on their platforms.
Basically, they are all Jiang Yuan’s selfie cards. Although they are not the styles in the album, they are all selected from some daily selfies in Jiang Yuan’s mobile phone.
Since everyone wanted to grab the pre-sale sales, the special gift pictures were released directly that night.
In just one night, fans were overwhelmed by the choices, and each different special offer attracted a certain number of fans to purchase the product.
Everyone is ready and waiting for the official start of pre-sale the next day.
Jiang Yuan also saw many fans discussing their purchase plans on Yuan Universe. For a while, many social platforms on the Internet were discussing the purchase information of the physical version of "Rain".
Different e-commerce platforms have also arranged promotional methods such as splash screen ads and message push notifications to attract more people's attention to the news.
As the song "Tears of Mermaid" becomes more and more popular, more people's attention is drawn to the EP "Rain".
Many singers saw this scene and were secretly shocked.
Even if the songs are very popular and of high quality, it is ultimately just an EP.
Under normal circumstances, the performance in terms of streaming or physical distribution should be worse than that of a complete album.
As a result, Jiang Yuan successfully achieved the same results as a regular album with just such an EP. It is hard not to be amazed.
But in the end, everyone ended the conversation by saying that it was because of Jiang Yuan that they did this.
After all, it was just a rare case, which made everyone feel better.
The broadcast of the program, the release of the audio source, and the album sales are well coordinated.
The next morning, as soon as the album went on sale, sales on various platforms exploded.
Almost like riding a rocket, "Rain" became the best-selling physical album of the day on multiple platforms.
When Jiang Yuan learned about the sales data of the album's first release, he was waiting for He Jing to arrive at Xingyuan Entertainment.
Discovering that Jiang Yuan was staying in Shanghai for a rare time and had no schedule, He Jing directly asked Jiang Yuan to come to the company, wanting him to see the latest progress of "Wandering Blue Planet".
After Jiang Yuan watched the film's production for the last time, he preliminarily confirmed that there were no problems with its direction and quality.
Now, quite a bit of time has passed and the post-production of "Wandering Blue Planet" has made new progress.
Jiang Yuan came to the company today to confirm whether the completed clips were qualified in all aspects.
But because he arrived a little early, he could only check his phone while waiting for He Jing.
While waiting, Zhang Qing sent Jiang Yuan a copy of the sales data of "Rain" in the first hour of pre-sale on various platforms.
Because the previous limited edition only sold a few hundred thousand copies, although the price was a bit higher, in Jiang Yuan's opinion, the performance was much worse than that of the other physical copies that were sold.
Jiang Yuan could understand the argument that the EP album's performance would be worse.
So we are also prepared that the pre-sale results this time may not be as good as before.
When I looked at the sales data for the first hour, I found that the pre-sale sales were much better than I expected.
It’s even almost catching up with the first-hour pre-sale sales of the previous physical album.
In other words, if we include the limited edition album that went on sale ahead of schedule, we should still be able to achieve self-transcendence.
This also illustrates one point very well, that is, Jiang Yuan's popularity remains very good and shows no downward trend.
Seeing that the EP was selling so well, Jiang Yuan subconsciously expanded the system panel in his mind.
I clicked on the exclusive interface of the task and took a look. If I remembered correctly, I also had an achievement task for album sales.
If you can complete it, you will get very generous rewards and it will greatly advance the progress of the main line.
The current sales performance of "Rain" has made Jiang Yuan think about releasing a few more EPs.
While waiting for He Jing, Jiang Yuan thought carefully.
It was not until He Jing arrived that Jiang Yuan's thoughts were interrupted.
"What are you thinking about? You're so absorbed in it." He Jing placed the coffee he had just bought in front of Jiang Yuan and asked.
"Nothing, I'm just thinking about album production." Jiang Yuan opened the coffee, took a sip, shook his head and said.
"I bought quite a few of your new album to show my support, and I plan to give them away as gifts later."
"Come to think of it, I haven't released an album for a long time." He Jing said, with some nostalgia in his eyes.
After all, He Jing is also an all-round artist who has worked as a singer and an actor, but he is now more pursuing work as a director.
"If you want, I can sign you a singing contract and release a new album for you next year." Jiang Yuan thought for a moment and replied.
Hearing Jiang Yuan's words, He Jing's eyes flashed with some interest.
He did think about it seriously, but in the end he shook his head and said, "Forget it."
Mainly, He Jing also considered it from a utilitarian perspective. For example, when he was young, he was an idol-type singer.
After so many years, it may not be certain that many fans will buy into the new album.
Moreover, the production process must have consumed a lot of energy. In comparison, He Jing would rather devote himself to the film industry.
Seeing He Jing's refusal, Jiang Yuan did not ask the reason, but just thought about it and said, "If it really doesn't work, releasing a single is also okay."
He Jing was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then nodded, "A single song is fine."
"I feel that the style of the songs in your EP this time is pretty good. I think I am more suited to lyrical songs now."
After hearing that there was a chance to release a single, He Jing slightly deviated from the topic and chatted with Jiang Yuan about it for a while.
After all, it is really exciting to get a customized single from Jiang Yuan.
Jiang Yuan didn't expect that after He Jing started to express his ideas, he would have so many demands.
After a while, he came up with several ideas. When Jiang Yuan remembered most of them, He Jing shook his head again, "Forget it, why don't you decide which song suits me? I'm not very picky."
Jiang Yuan paused for a moment, then nodded, "Okay, I'll send you a suitable demo later."
After finishing speaking, Jiang Yuan quickly brought the topic back to the point, "Did you bring the film?"
"I brought quite a lot of content this time, almost half an hour, and I think it's quite complete."
As He Jing spoke, he also took out the laptop he carried with him from his backpack.
When the topic of movies came up, He Jing's expression became much more serious.
"Then let's take a look first." Jiang Yuan was still very interested in the completion status of "Wandering Blue Planet".
Even when I was overseas, I continued to receive reports from He Jing.
They are just some written descriptions, so I have always been curious about what the effect will be when I see it with my own eyes.
"I'll give you the headphones as well. The sound effects for this segment are quite complete." He Jing said as he found a few minutes' worth of footage from his computer and handed the headphones to Jiang Yuan.
