This Star is Legal But Sick

Chapter 166 Impact on the music scene record

Hearing Yu Wei's words, Xu Ye's heart suddenly skipped a beat.

 It’s over now.

 The recording location for the next episode is actually the Palace Museum.

 For Chinese people, the significance of the Forbidden City is of great importance.

This museum is a comprehensive museum built on the basis of the imperial palaces of the Ming and Qing dynasties and their collections.

When he was on Earth, Xu Ye came across a profession called cultural relic restorer while watching videos.

The responsibility of these people is to repair the damaged cultural relics excavated from the ground.

There are also such professions in the Palace Museum.

For example, there is a documentary on Earth called "I Repair Cultural Relics in the Forbidden City".

This documentary tells the restoration process of various types of rare and precious cultural relics in the Forbidden City and the life stories of the restorers.

However, it was a bit too long ago, and Xu Ye had almost forgotten the content.

 For cultural relic restorers, tomb robbers should simply be cut to pieces.

  The archeology in China has always been a protective excavation, and we will not dig if we can.

 Unless it is due to construction or the tomb has been robbed, archaeologists will develop the ancient tomb.

 Their development is naturally different from that of tomb robbers.

 As stated in the first paragraph of Gui Blowing the Lamp, tomb robbing is an art of destruction.

Grave robbers don’t care about the exquisite murals on the walls of the tomb, or the things that have historical research significance.

They would only choose things they thought were valuable and take them away. The whole process from entering the tomb to leaving the tomb was also full of destructiveness.

This can also be seen from the personal experience of Hu Bayi, the protagonist of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp". As long as the tombs he has entered are basically not intact.

Archaeologists want to protect the entire tomb as much as possible. They pay more attention to the research value of the tomb. A lot of information obtained in it can give us a clearer understanding of the past history.

 Tomb robbing and archeology are simply hostile camps.

Xu Ye is a writer of tomb-robbery novels.

Although he has a strong desire to survive, he is not sure what the big guys at the Palace Museum think of him.

 “Can this place still be changed?” Xu Ye asked.

Yu Wei could hear the anxiety in Xu Ye's tone, and chuckled: "No."

"All right."

"You don't have to worry too much. The Palace Museum is full of cultural people and usually they won't take action." Yu Wei teased.

This was the first time she saw Xu Ye like this.

Unexpectedly, Xu Ye said: "I'm not afraid of doing it."

Yu Wei was speechless. She couldn't talk to Xu Ye anymore.

　　After the two chatted about the follow-up matters, they hung up the phone.

But not long after, a subordinate from the studio called him.

“Mr. Xu, the sales growth of Two Butterflies has slowed down now. Penguin Music contacted us just now. They said that the sales of Two Butterflies have now reached 800,000, and they can try to hit one million sales.”

“Currently, the fastest time for a song to reach one million sales on the market is 70 hours. Penguin Music believes that we have hope to break this record.”

 It has actually been less than thirty-six hours since Two Butterflies was released.

To break the record, they have to sell 200,000 songs in the next thirty-four hours.

Xu Ye asked his subordinates to send the backend data for a look.

 Two Butterflies chose the single sales model, and the sales volume determines how much money can be earned.

 Since Penguin Music thinks it can break the sales record, it can definitely give it a try.

 At present, in the single sales list on Penguin Music, the tenth place is a song by a first-line singer, with sales of 1.1 million, and the unit price is three yuan.

You should know that this song was released three years ago. In three years, it only accumulated 1.1 million sales.

 Two Butterflies is about to become the song that breaks into the top ten of the single sales chart in the shortest time.

Xu Ye thought for a while and then said: "Tell Penguin that we are going to attack."

 “Okay, Mr. Xu.”

After receiving Xu Ye’s reply, Penguin Music immediately put promotion activities on the agenda.

 On music platforms, Penguin Music and Blue Lion Music have always been in competition.

 The song "Two Butterflies" is exclusively sold by Penguin Music.

This is also because Penguin Music showed full sincerity when Xu Ye released a song last time, so they got this exclusive opportunity.

 So Penguin Music doesn’t want any share of the song’s share. All the proceeds from the sales of the song will go to this big studio.

Penguin Music is not short of money. They just want to make friends with Xu Ye.

At the beginning, many people within Penguin Music thought it was too outrageous.

Dong Yukun is a new singer. Even if he sings songs written by Xu Ye, he will not receive such a high salary.

 This is the kind of treatment only the king of heaven has.

But the boss of Penguin Music said directly: "What a shame! Xu Ye's songs written for others have become so popular. If his own album is released, what will happen to heaven? If we don't build a good relationship with Xu Ye now, is it possible?" Wait until his album sells out before looking for him?”

This paragraph convinced all the other senior executives of Penguin Music.

 Xu Ye’s strength is obvious to everyone.

If Xu Ye’s album is really released exclusively on Penguin Music, then it is not Penguin Music that helped Xu Ye.

That’s Xu Ye channeling traffic to Penguin Music.

Ten p.m.

 Penguin Music client, whether it is mobile software or computer client, a pop-up advertisement will appear after opening it.

 The content of the advertisement is ""Two Butterflies" has hit one million sales. If you purchase the song, you will have the opportunity to win the following prizes."

 The prizes include electronic certificates for the purchase of "Two Butterflies", Penguin Music membership coupons, Penguin Music membership 7-day experience cards, avatar pendants, skins, etc.

  Anyway, as long as you buy this song, you will definitely get a prize.

This wave of pop-up advertisements directly boosted the publicity efforts.

 After users click into this million-sales achievement page, they can also see the real-time sales of "Two Butterflies".

 After the event started, the sales of the two butterflies increased again.

Penguin Music’s move immediately attracted the attention of the music industry.

 In the past, the sales volume of a song was announced by the publisher of the song himself, and people could choose not to announce it.

This is the first time that Penguin Music has directly created this page.

People in the music industry were all dumbfounded after seeing the sales of Two Butterflies.

“What the hell? Did I read that correctly? It’s only been thirty-four hours, and it’s already sold 800,000 yuan?

“I used a calculator to calculate it. On average, 23,529 songs were sold in one hour, 392 songs were sold in one minute, and six songs were sold in one second.”

“Is this speed real? Isn’t it too outrageous?”

 After the data was released, the music world was immediately shocked.

 No song has ever sold so fast.

At this moment, everyone understood why Penguin Music wanted to achieve a million-sales achievement with great fanfare.

 The fastest song to reach one million was achieved in 70 hours.

 Two butterflies, hopefully breaking this record!
