Two days later, under the vigorous promotion of Yuan Datong and Emma, the news of Wang Jingwen's record release was like a sparkling sprawl, and the results were absolutely insane.
Throughout the following week, many audio and video stores that brought the albums from Sparrow had been overcrowded every day.
The fans worked tirelessly and came from afar. They flocked and rushed to buy Wang Jingwen's records. There were several shops who had sold out within a day. On the first day, 50,000 records were successfully sold; this volume of sales was the highest in history, making the store owners a fortune.
After half a month, Sparrow company's phones were almost destroyed. All the major audio-video shops were asking for restocking. Even the owners of many audio-visual shops had wanted to sign the contracts, giving the company extra commission. However, they were helpless as the company had little to no experience at all. The demand for the album was so high that it created a situation in which the album was in short supply, causing many people to complain.
Before the month was even over, the entire batch of 300,000 records was snatched up by enthusiastic fans. Nowadays, regardless of location, from the streets to major shopping malls, Wang Jingwen's songs could be heard almost everywhere. Gradually, the songs had spread all over the country. The listeners were all intoxicated and deeply attracted by Wang Jingwen's unique voice, singing along with the beautiful melody.
The Internet was also in overdrive. Compared to two months ago, the number of fans Wang Jingwen had had risen from 40 million to 120 million. Wang Jingwen was also hailed by fans as a "Huaxia's Goddess", and some fanatical fans had even started "seeking the goddess". They desperately searched for news on Wang Jingwen every single day and made Wang Jingwen the most searched name in the country. Many fans had even attempted to meet Wang Jingwen by travelling across the country and camping outside her estate in hopes of seeing her.
However, since Wang Jingwen had been "frozen" by Zhang Xiaohua, there was basically no news or drama to be found on her. The paparazzi were unable to catch a glimpse of her at all as she rarely left her home; therefore, those fans who camped outside her estate were unable to see their deity, which caused them to have a greater sense of curiosity about her. They felt an urge to find out more about her and to meet with her!
This was part of Zhang Xiaohua's plan to build up the appetites of these fans. At least, he wanted them to accumulate a lot of enthusiasm, so they would spend a lot of money to watch the concert, as only in this way could those fans see the truth about Wang Jingwen. Curiosity was an irresistible thing after all.
.........
"When will Sister Jingwen show herself? If she opens up a fan club or a concert, even if I go broke, I must see her!"
"User above, I really want to see Jingwen as well!"
"Can't stand it! Ah... Jingwen, I love you, I beg you to come out!"
"If you let me marry Wang Jingwen as a wife, as long as you let me enjoy our marriage every night, you can take my life after it, and I wouldn't care."
"Upstairs really is retarded. Wang Jingwen is my goddess, and no one is allowed to defile her. Who dares to insult her? I will find you, and I will murder you!"
"I wonder what she likes to eat and drink!"
"Oii! Creep above, back-off or else, you shall face my golden dragon palm."
"I just want to know who Zhang Xiaohua is. It seems like all of the songs Wang Jingwen sang were written by him. The lyrics and composition are all from this person. Huaxia has finally got a rare genius! Everyone, hurry up and protect him, we can't let him get corrupted by those record labels."
"Isn't it written on the record? It was produced by HuaXiang Entertainment. I think this Zhang Xiaohua should be the owner. Cause his name and company's name both have the word 'Hua' in it."
"Yesterday, I saw an interview with Zhang Xiaohua on television. Yes, he is the boss of HuaXiang Entertainment. He got the same temperament as those famous CEO's. I admire him for being able to write so many classic songs. He is my new role model!"
"Anyway, I'm optimistic about this HuaXiang company. Although it is a small company, their songs are a hundred times better than New Century Entertainment and those famous garbage entertainment companies."
"Agreed."
"Agreed +1 "
"Agreed +100"
"Agreed +10086"
......
At the same time, Zhang Xiaohua was sitting in front of the company's computer with great interest.
Watching such a heated discussion among fans, Zhang Xiaohua could not help being complacent.
Zhang Xiaohua hadn't been able to help himself and registered a Weibo ID. The first thing he did was to use Wang Jingwen's account to shout himself out. He wanted to show off that he knew Wang Jingwen. The results were instantaneous, gaining thousands of fans, though nowhere near the same level as Wang Jingwen He wasn't a singer after all.
"Boss, another reporter came to the door, and they want you to give an exclusive interview." Emma came to report.
"Call Yuan Datong to do it. If he isn't available, let Xiaohai do it. Remember to tell them to talk about Wang Jingwen's upcoming concerts, but don't let them leak out too much info." Zhang Xiaohua told her with a sad face.
Over the past few days, he had already dealt with dozens of reporters. On average, he was invited to make three appearances every day. He had almost reached a state of his mind and body breaking when it came to answering interviews. His eyes had almost been destroyed by those camera flashes, so now when he saw reporters and cameras, he felt like punching them. Therefore he pushed this arduous task to Yuan Datong and co.
At this time, Zhang Xiaohua's cell phone suddenly sounded.
Seeing that it was Zhou Yi calling, Zhang Xiaohua decided that this was probably another happy event.
Sure enough, just after pressing the answer button, he listened to Zhou Yi's excitement as he talked, "Boss Zhang, congratulations! The record sales are very smooth, and they have all been sold out. It's simply in short supply. Many shop owners are even asking when the next album is out, so they can book more orders next time. In accordance with your instructions, I've already sent all the revenue to your company's account."
Hanging up the phone after a bit of small talk, Zhang Xiaohua immediately opened the online bank, entered the account password, squeezed his hands tightly, then pressed the enter key, and his eyes landed on his first pot of gold, no more no less than 15 million!
Looking at the row of strikingly small figures in the account, Zhang Xiaohua only felt that his palms were sweating and his scalp was numb.
He was actually in a state of dementia, with a blank smile on his face, like a lost soul, staring blankly at the computer screen… He was stunned by such a huge sum!
For him, this happiness had come too suddenly. It was just like dreaming!
In the next moment, he tried to calm down his excitement, then put out a trembling finger and kept sliding back and forth across the screen. He carefully counted the small numbers. Each time, his heart would have a greater sense of achievement.
Suddenly Zhang Xiaohua smile froze...
Calculating carefully and deducting the costs, after paying to Wang Jingwen and Sparrow respectively, plus the share dividends for Yuan Datong and the rest of shareholders....
Zhang Xiaohua whispered to himself:
"15 million—deducting 4.5 million for Sparrow Records, there is still 10.5 million left. After deducting Wang Jingwen's 30%. There is still 7.35 million left, but I promised to ensure that Emma and the others would each earn one million, so that leaves 2.35 million, and then one million for Yuan Datong as well, that leaves... 1.35 million yuan. What the actual fuck! How can I only get a little more than one million after all this!?"
Looking at the few figures on the calculator, Zhang Xiaohua almost felt like crying.
15 million ah, this was indeed a huge sum of money...
However, even as the boss, he actually only gained a bit more than one million.
From originally thinking about how to splurge, now it seemed that even if he bought a cheap sports car, he wouldn't even be able to buy fuel afterwards.
Ugh!
He could only blame himself for being impulsive at the time and promising to make each of them millionaires, breaking the normal ratio, or else he would be completely minted today!
Zhang Xiaohua felt a pang of regret and couldn't help but scream into the sky…
