The signing session was a complete success. Apart from the previous performance session, almost every fan at the scene held an album to express their support for the subsequent signing session.
Some people bought several copies, and the most one person directly packed 100 copies.
According to statistics afterwards, just for this signing event alone, nearly 20,000 copies of "Four" were sold, and several thousand copies of "Chinese Style" were also sold.
However, this is just a small head. In addition to signing sales, holding a signing event is also a promotional nature, especially this kind of semi-fan club with many performances, which is largely for publicity.
Prior to this, Kazuki Oda had contacted Japan's Fuji TV (one of the six major TV stations in Japan) to broadcast and promote Cao Xuan's signing.
Of course, the condition is that the variety shows and news related to Cao Xuan's visit to Japan this time will be based on Fuji TV.
In order to snatch the hot spot, Fuji TV specially set aside half an hour for Cao Xuan Cao Xuan's signing meeting in the prime time.
Including the two songs with the most amazing effects, which are also the solos of "Your Answer" and "Stars and Seas" strongly promoted by Cao Xuan and Warner, as well as news reports on the fan chorus interaction and the subsequent signing session.
Even Fuji TV found four lucky fans who came on stage, including Yui Aragaki and Masami Nagasawa, to do related interviews.
The two Yui Aragaki, who have begun to have the charm of the future otaku goddesses, shared their experience and mood of singing with their idols shyly and a little bit happily in front of the camera.
"Onisan is really gentle. Some lyrics and melodies I am not familiar with, he will immediately remind or help me cover them up, very considerate."
"At the end of the signing session, he even took a group photo with us and gave us gifts and a commemorative book."
"I want to be an artist, and he still supports and encourages me."
"This is the bracelet and autographed album that Onisan gave me, and I will treasure it carefully."
""
In fact, the other two male fans also received a lot of inquiries, but when it was broadcast, they were basically cut to the same extent, and almost all the interviews of Aragaki Yui and Nagasawa Masami were preserved.
The leader of this interview column knows very well what is the key to ratings.
Sure enough, the two lolis with sweet looks and cute personalities were loved by some viewers, and some people called to inquire.
If they can seize the opportunity, the two may enter the entertainment circle earlier than the original time and space.
However, Cao Xuan didn't have time to take care of these two loli fans at all. After the signing, he immediately threw himself into high-intensity promotional activities.
After all, it was an away game, and facing Japan's popular queen, Cao Xuan had to devote 100% of his efforts and energy to succeed in the counterattack.
Even up to now, Cao Xuan has still not disclosed his goal of impacting the public trust list.
Regarding this point, they have discussed internally, although the public goal can more mobilize the enthusiasm of Cao Xuan fans, and even lead to the support of hostile fans of Ayumi Hamasaki.
But at the same time, it will also arouse the vigilance of Ayumi Hamasaki and the targeting of his fans.
There is still a gap between Cao Xuan's popularity in Japan and Ayumi Hamasaki's. There is still hope for a sneak attack, but if Ayumi Hamasaki prepares for the battle with all his strength, Cao Xuan has a great chance of losing.
Another important point is that Cao Xuan is not a native Japanese artist after all, so if he rashly shouted out of the list, it would easily arouse the siege of Japanese fans.
For example, a Japanese singer came to China and said that he would step on Sun Yanzi to reach the top of the Chinese music charts. Look at who the Chinese fans support.
Therefore, if you rashly disclose your goals, you may be self-defeating, or even unable to complete the goals, and you will become the object of ridicule.
So Cao Xuan's strategy is to make a fortune in silence.
Don't shoot guns into the village quietly, do your best to promote it within this week, and then wait for the public trust list to be announced next Tuesday.
It's done, let's show off!
There is no shame in losing.
However, Cao Xuan still has some regrets. According to his thinking, he definitely hopes to be able to face the opposition and siege of countless people, win the championship of the Oricon Ranking, and make his pretense more perfect.
But we still have to follow the logic of reality. Maybe in the future, Cao Xuan will become famous in Europe and the United States, and he will be able to achieve this achievement with the trend of Asian world superstars
During this week in Japan, Cao Xuan attended almost four signing sessions, each lasting half a day or one day, and the rest of the time had various commercial activities and could participate in variety shows.
? In Korea, I can still have fun with Li Fuzhen. In Japan, Cao Xuan is sometimes busy working until the early morning.
Just for signing, his right hand has written his name tens of thousands of times in the past few days.??Half of the Japanese music scene.
Japan has too many advantages in Asia. It is not that there are no foreign singers who have won the Japanese Oricon Chart before, but they are basically European and American singers, more precisely, the United States.
And the few non-European and American singers are almost all foreign singers who have been in the Japanese music scene for a long time.
? Non-European and American singers like Cao Xuan have released non-Japanese albums, and there is still a chance to win the championship in away games. It cannot be said that there are no such singers, but there are only one or two in the past few decades.
Many people were stunned, and when they realized it, their first reaction was to stop, saying that the championship cannot be won by the Chinese.
However, there is too little time left for them, and there is no organization, and the personnel are scattered.
? If everyone supports Ayumi Hamasaki together, there is still a chance of a comeback, but they fight on their own, not only did not give too much help, but on the contrary, it hindered to a certain extent.
As for Cao Xuan, he had already made preparations before, and accurately launched publicity for fan clubs and Chinese groups.
?With the strong support of fans and Chinese compatriots, not only did not catch up, but also opened up some distance.
Under the premise of having an absolute advantage, Cao Xuan fans and Chinese groups are more motivated and strive to win the championship in one fell swoop.
Cao Xuan is very fortunate that Japan's Oricon only counts sales, regardless of the opponent, as long as his sales are high enough.
If it is based on the on-demand rate of radio stations like the Chinese rankings, even if it is a separate battle, it is difficult for him to win under the disadvantage of the personnel base.
There has been a lot of noise all day long, and at midnight on Monday, the sales statistics are closed.
Cao Xuan, who had been busy for a week, took the time to go to a hot spring to relax, and Kazuki Oda burst in with a document in surprise.
"Cao Sang, the data came out at 374,000. There is great hope, great hope."
Cao Xuan was wearing a bath towel, and he wasn't afraid of being taken advantage of. He just asked curiously, "Do you know the sales volume of Ayumi Hamasaki?"
"I don't know, but according to our estimates and several other forecasting agencies, it should be between 320,000 and 340,000."
Oda Kazuki is very excited, sales of more than 300,000 in a single week, even in the Japanese music scene is very impressive.
As for the millions of copies in a single month announced by the outside world, 99% of them are shipments, not actual sales.
However, Ayumi Hamasaki's achievement still did not suppress Cao Xuan, and Oda Kazuki once regretted that Cao Xuan was not a Japanese.
He believes that with Cao Xuan's musical talent and the Japanese music market environment, his achievements will be even more astonishing than they are now.
What is even more regrettable for Kazuki Oda is that "ËÄ" is only a Chinese album, and its potential is exhausted. It is good that it will be exposed on the Oricon Chart next week, and I am afraid it will be beaten back to its original shape next week.
Even so, the sales volume of this album has steadily exceeded 500,000, and it is even expected to hit 800,000. As a non-Japanese album, it can be called a phenomenon.
Cao Xuan's influence and commercial value in the Asian region have once again consolidated and increased, and Warner Japan has also benefited a lot.
? At least for Kazuki Oda, he helped the company's Asian brother achieve a breakthrough in Japan not long after he took office, and Warner Asia's top management will look at him differently.
Oda Kazuki excitedly went to arrange other matters.
For example, the follow-up of Cao Xuan winning the Oricon Ranking, and the fact that Warner Japan can use this incident to expand its influence, this time is a rare opportunity, and he must seize it.
After Xiaotian left, Cao Xuan could no longer hold back the joy in his heart, laughed silently, and read a classic line in Jinmen dialect.
