China Entertainment started from Nortel 96

Chapter 17 Meeting again

The "Chinese Song Ranking" program of Beijing Radio and Television Station is still very influential. Many people only got to know a young man like Qi Wei through this radio program.

Only then did I know there was a band like Shengtian Banzi.

After the promotion of this radio program, the effect is quite obvious.

In addition, the three theme songs of Qi Wei's album are indeed very popular, and word-of-mouth spread has caused a fermentation of word-of-mouth similar to that of the Internet.

So starting from the second week, Qi Wei's album sales suddenly surged and ushered in a peak period.

Boss Wu had previously asked the publisher to prepare 300,000 copies and later added another 200,000.

But it seems that the potential of Qi Wei Records has been underestimated.

The supply exceeds the demand and is somewhat stretched.

The publisher quickly asked the audio and video recording factory to start working overtime day and night.

This can only be done to the working people in the factory.

Qi Wei's "Chinese Song Ranking" was also a joy to listen to, and even reached a new high in the listening rate at the end of the program.

Such good results surprised many people.

Qi Wei responded more frequently to major TV stations and radio stations and issued program announcements and invitations.

In order to win over Qi Wei, some program crews were even willing to provide Qi Wei with an announcement fee.

The number is quite small.

Very tempting.

Of course, Qi Wei is still very sensible and has not been dazzled by money. The announcements he chooses to rush are those that are beneficial to the promotion of the record and have great influence.

The more official announcements and invitations have not been left out either.

In the days that followed, Qi Wei and his bandmates frequently participated in various TV and radio programs, with several announcements a day.

The intense exposure also gave Qi Wei's album better publicity, and the three title songs immediately topped the major music charts in the mainland.

"Single Love Song" suddenly became the most requested and most popular song on the radio, and "The Trouble Caused by the Moon" and "Sad Pacific" were also among the top five on-demand songs.

It’s completely popular!

It’s so popular that Qi Wei himself has a deep understanding of it.

As we walked on the road, it seemed that we could hear someone requesting this song on the radio everywhere. More and more people could recognize Qi Wei and call out his name.

Even the grocery shopping grandma I met while shopping was my grandson and granddaughter’s favorite song. There were even shy junior high school students who, when they met Qi Wei, would hold the tape and look for him coquettishly.

Need to sign.

Well! Since they are his little fans, Qi Wei naturally agreed to their request happily.

Hmm? There is no anti-counterfeiting mark, so it seems that it is not an authentic tape.

Qi Wei took it over and knocked it carefully. As expected, it was a pirated tape.

It’s only been a few days since it was promoted and it’s already being pirated!

It really surprised Qi Wei.

After listening to the quality of the pirated tapes, although it is not as good as my own genuine tapes, the sound quality is still very good.

The more popular it is, the easier it is for piracy to occur earlier. Piracy appears so early now, which means that Qi Wei’s album is really popular!

This made Qi Wei happy but also felt a little helpless. After all, piracy could not be controlled.

Although there is no money for piracy, there is actually some benefit, that is, it can allow Qi Wei and his records to be more widely publicized.

After all, before the Internet age, no matter how traditional methods were used for publicity, the effect was actually very limited.

What's more, Qi Wei almost does his own promotion, and the promotion has never kept up with the quality of the records.

Seeing pirated copies, Qi Wei could only comfort himself in his heart. At most, he would appeal to listeners on the show to buy genuine copies.

Therefore, Qi Wei no longer struggled with the issue of piracy.

After teaching the junior high school students about copyright awareness, Qi Wei politely signed his name on the package and wrote a few blessings.

After watching them leave happily and satisfied, Qi Wei was also very satisfied.

The time has come to January 1997. After noticing the popularity of Qi Wei's album, teacher Cui Xinqin applied to the school for a week's leave for Qi Wei.

The school also agreed and was very happy.

Now generally speaking, the peak sales of a genuine album is in the previous month, but due to problems such as delays in distribution in various places, popular albums can also sell well in the second month.

There is a sales period of almost two months.

After this period of time, it will be seriously impacted by increasingly rampant piracy, and genuine sales will see a big decline.

So generally speaking, album promotion work is still concentrated in the first two months of release.

High intensity outgoing is mainly in the first month.

However, since the end of the semester is approaching, the final exam is very important for first-year performance students who are still in the screening period.

Nortel was very reasonable in giving Qi Wei more than three weeks to conduct publicity, and it was impossible to extend the holiday any longer.

Although the time is a little less, it is almost enough.

The popularity of his first album has already made Qi Wei a little famous. Nortel is quite tolerant and gives preferential treatment to students who are already famous.

So Qi Wei doesn't have to worry about failing the final exam.

But it was still important for Qi Wei to show his attitude to the school, so after the three-week vacation, Qi Wei also ended his record promotion and returned to Nortel obediently.

At this time, Yan Danchen had also finished shooting the movie and returned to school.

"Hey! Why do you seem to have gained weight again?"

She was dark and fat, and she looked like a rural girl. When Yan Danchen appeared in front of Qi Wei, Qi Wei almost didn't recognize her.

"You should weigh one hundred and forty pounds now, right?"

"No way, there's still a little difference, can't you just stop talking about this?"

Yan Danchen was a little shy and embarrassed at the same time.

"No, I still remember our original agreement. It seems that you have forgotten it." Qi Wei shook his head and pretended to be sorry.

"I haven't forgotten!" Yan Danchen said anxiously.

Then he explained: "In order to film this scene well, I really acted like a rural girl, hauling water to cook, working in the fields, everything. It was so tiring, and my appetite also increased. I am working harder."

Because of you, I am in a good mood every day, so I eat more.”

"I will lose weight!" Yan Danchen quickly raised his hands and vowed.

Qi Wei pinched Yan Danchen's chubby cheeks and said with a smile: "Okay, I will help you and supervise you."

"whee."

Yan Danchen looked happy and took Qi Wei's arm.

"By the way, have you rented out your original rental house?" Yan Danchen asked.

"Well, the soundproofing of that rental house is not very good, and people often disturb me now."

"No wonder, I went there to wait for you several times but didn't see you."

"You should have texted my pager."

"I sent it, but you didn't reply to me. Maybe it's because you are too busy." Yan Danchen took the initiative to help Qi Wei find a reason and replied.

"Well, do you want to see my new rented house?"

"Of course I have. Have you eaten?"

Seeing that Qi Wei shook his head and said no, Yan Danchen said happily: "I didn't learn anything else on the set, so I learned how to steam buns with flour. They are delicious."

"Then I want to see your craftsmanship."

Campus romance is always simple and warm.
