Perfect Life

The person who came in was Ma Xiang, the deputy manager of the production department.

When he saw that there were so many people in the boss's office, he was stunned for a moment, but immediately found out that they were all acquaintances within the company, so he even opened his mouth to complain about his grievance, "Mr. Zheng, Manager Sun called me just now, Say let me come to you to find a way, Sony refuses to arrange production, saying that it is the fastest and fastest, and it can only start to make our list until Friday! You say... This is not a neck for us Well! That's good. Their own company's records are obviously not in a hurry. Even if they are produced, they can only be piled in the warehouse first, but they continue to produce! Our "Liao Liao" is obviously going to be sold out soon. But I have to wait! No, Manager Sun went to the company early in the morning without even coming, but it was useless! People are just stuck in line! Mr. Zheng, do you think you can give Sony that On the phone or something..."

Zheng Changsheng nodded slowly when he heard the words, turned around and sat down.

Things seemed to be getting bigger and bigger, all kinds of anomalies and all kinds of accidents appeared one after another, but at this time, Zheng Changsheng suddenly calmed down.

At this time, he picked up the delivery notice on the table, shook it, and said, "It's not now, but it's already sold out!"

Ma Xiang was stunned when he heard the words, and hurried over to take the delivery notice. After only one glance, he couldn't help but smacked his teeth and said, "This is too scary... I don't remember it being listed yet. Two weeks, right? The impression seems to be... Hey, Lao Liu, I remember you said in a meeting before that the sales volume of Dongguan Bookstore is about 20 times that of the overall market sales? Now Dongguan Bookstore is out of stock, then Doesn't it mean that our first batch of 200,000 tapes plus 20,000 CDs have all been sold out?"

Liu Zhongxin nodded when he heard the words, "It should probably be like this."

But at this time, Yang Fan interjected: "Actually, in addition to sending the survey results, I have one more thing to say. I was in the office just now and received calls from four provincial distributors to urge the goods. According to what they said, they have already started to run out of stock on a large scale. I estimate that even today, there will be a lot of calls like this!"

When everyone heard the words, they all looked surprised, and almost at the same time, they all turned their heads to look at Zheng Changsheng.

Zheng Changsheng tapped slowly on the table with his fingers, and although he couldn't hide the turbulence in his heart, his face was surprisingly calm. After a while, he opened the drawer, took out a small humidor, opened the box, and took out a cigar.

Several people in the office looked at him blankly, with different expressions on their faces.

But Zheng Changsheng acted as if nothing had happened. He slowly took out the cigar scissors, cut off the seal, struck a match, and slowly lit the cigar before he put it in his mouth and smoked it. lit.

There is a lot of smoke.

The air-conditioning wind constantly blows the smoke away, but pushes it more evenly in front of everyone in the room.

The few people in this room, most of them old smokers, asked about the smell of this cigar, not only did they not feel it, but they enjoyed it. Only Zhao Meifeng covered her nose subconsciously, and then coughed. Twice.

Then, the room fell silent.

There were obviously several people anxiously waiting for something, but no one spoke up, so that the only silence in the room was the sound of Zheng Changsheng's puffing cigar and the gentle blowing of the air conditioner.

Suddenly, Zheng Changsheng raised his head, as if he wanted to say something, but turned to Zhao Meifeng and asked her first, "Meifeng, what's the matter with you? Or are you here for this album?"

Zhao Meifeng fanned the smoke and said, "I'm here for this."

While speaking, she handed over the newspaper in her hand.

Zheng Changsheng frowned, but immediately picked up the newspaper and looked at it, and immediately narrowed his eyes again.

It's actually the music page of "Artist Weekly", it's actually a front-page headline comment, it's actually a signed article by Xie Jinshun!

This old man is known as the "father of pop music"!

At the beginning of domestic popular music in the 1970s, it was this old man who ran and shouted, and finally let the government begin to fully relax the control of the music industry, and at the same time released the access mechanism of private capital, which finally formed the self-styled music industry. Since the 1980s, domestic popular music has boomed one after another.

Moreover, it was this old man who first discovered the Feixiang Band, then made Liu Mingliang popular, and then, Feng Feifei... Oh, by the way, he is also Zhou Hao's mentor! It is said that the old man had been entangled with him for more than a month that year, and finally the old man had no choice but to agree to make an album for her, and then he became popular with Zhou!

To this day, of course, this old man has long since quit the arena and no longer participates in any production. Even in the past few years, he has almost stopped writing and singing, but the entire domestic music circle still regards him as the number one promoter of the pop music scene. ! According to industry rumors, the total sales of various albums produced by him has already exceeded 100 million!

There is no doubt that this is the real Taishan Beidou in the domestic music scene!

It is said that even after he announced his retirement, some people waved their checkbooks and asked him to comment on works or albums, and some even asked him to write a review with a thousand words and 300,000 words. Never speak out easily.

However, now, he has published a directly signed article in "Artist Weekly", praising a newcomer's first album!

Although he is not directly responsible for this aspect, Zheng Changsheng can know that no matter how unfamiliar he is, just by virtue of his company's position and connections in the industry, and by these few people in the company's publicity department, it is impossible for him to invite him. Move this old man out of the mountain!

Therefore, people are purely optimistic and like this album!

Holding the newspaper in his hands, Zheng Changsheng glanced at the content hastily, and got a general idea. He couldn't help but look up at Zhao Meifeng, "Huo! This old man is really... This page seems to have two or three thousand words? That's six or seven hundred thousand!"

Zhao Meifeng nodded and said, "I was shocked when I saw it, but I really didn't expect the old man to be so supportive! Uh, there should be a newspaper in the publicity department, right? Xiao Wang should have it too, you didn't read it before. arrive?"

When she said this, Liu Zhongxin and Yang Fan from the Publicity Department immediately felt a little embarrassed.

But at this time, Zheng Changsheng waved his hand and said indifferently, "I don't blame them for this, everyone knows that I have a low education level and don't like reading newspapers, so they gradually stopped giving them to me. No, a few days ago, Lao Liu asked Xiao Wang to give me a newspaper and let me read a comment. I just glanced at it and threw it away! Music critics... To be honest, everyone knows that they That is to say, the lip-smacking work, you know more than the average person, but the real money to buy records, how many people buy it after reading their reviews?"

Zheng Changsheng was just making a casual comment, but while he was talking, he stopped slowly, and then frowned tightly, as if he had thought of something to make things difficult.

At this time, Zhao Meifeng continued: "That's right, the music critics don't have any influence on the music critics in addition to influencing people in the industry, but they can't completely deny it, there are still many people in the critics who have no influence on the market The wind direction has a fairly precise grasp. For example, this retired old man, I have read his comment carefully several times, and I have to admit that when I was working on this album with Liao Liao, I was indeed I lost sight of the fact that the songs including "Perseverance" and "Wild Flowers" were so popular! Fortunately, I didn't stop Liao Liao..."

She was babbling and talking, and she didn't know whether she was blaming herself or taking credit for her achievements, but before she could go on talking, Zheng Changsheng suddenly raised his hand to interrupt her, "Stop, stop, Meifeng, You stop first, and you will have to check yourself later! I-I seem to have caught something..."

As he spoke, his eyes suddenly lit up, then he looked up at Liu Zhongxin and said, "Old Liu, you and Yang Fan, you two will go immediately to discuss the last two weeks, that is, Liao Liao's record since it was released. Everything has to do with this album. Find out all the music reviews in newspapers and magazines for me!"

Liu Zhongxin and Yang Fan looked at each other when they heard the words, turned around and walked out.

After a while, the two of them came back with a stack of things in their hands and put them on Zheng Changsheng's desk.

Magazines and magazines are in one pile, and newspapers and newspapers are in one pile. Obviously, these things have been sorted out long ago, and even opened the page where the comments appeared.

Zheng Changsheng picked it up and turned it over and over. Perhaps Liao Liao's status in the arena is not enough for people to write comments to criticize them. Therefore, almost all of these comments are strongly praising the album "Liao Liao", some are praising Liao Liao's singing skills, some He is singing the return of folk songs, praising "My Hometown I'm Passionately Loved", and some people are cheering for light rock, and almost want to hold the three songs "Perseverance", "Wild Flowers", and "Cheers, Friends" to the sky , of course, there are also people who are strongly praising the Chinese style of "Unending Love", thinking that this is the final direction of Chinese music!

Of course, there are also several supporting songs such as "That Summer", but not many.

Zheng Changsheng hurriedly scrolled past and read about twenty copies. He put everything down, raised his head and said to the crowd, "Little Wang, Meifeng, Lao Liu, Yang Fan... you all come, one by one. , classify these articles for me, I want to know how many copies there are in total, to know which aspect they are complimenting, and how many...

With a swipe, the boss said something, everyone was arrested.

About 20 minutes later, Secretary Xiao Wang collected everyone's data, and then merged them. After completing the statistics, he took the initiative to report to Zheng Changsheng who was standing by the window and looking out: "Mr. Zheng, the results are counted, and the total is Of the 43 reviews, all of them were positive, and 16 focused on praising the quality of the entire album, which is said to be a rare masterpiece in recent years. Among them, 7 focused on praising Liao Liao's singing skills. In addition, there were a total of 27 single reviews, including "Perseverance". "8, "My Hometown I Loved" 6, "Wild Flowers" 5, "Unfinished Love" 4, "Cheers, Friends" 3, "That Summer" 1."

Zheng Changsheng turned around, looked at Liu Zhongxin with bright eyes, and asked, "How many did you buy?"

The so-called bought, of course, is an article written by a music critic who has paid for the company's public relations. Liu Zhongxin was naturally familiar with this matter, and immediately replied: "There are four in total. But you also know that there are many famous music critics and professors. Although we won't give money, when we send audition CDs, we will also I'll add a little gift to it."

Zheng Changsheng took a slow sip of the cigar and spit it out again.

It's done!

Now that the fog has dissipated, many things have probably become clear!

First, there are about 39 music critics who are willing to take the initiative to write reviews for the album "Liao Liao" even though the company has not paid for public relations, and all of them are positive reviews, which shows that this album is very popular among professionals. the likes of the people;

Second, according to the survey results of the survey company, nearly half of the fans who bought this album were recommended to buy it through word of mouth among friends. the power of;

Third, whether it is analyzed from the survey results or from the number of comments made by music critics, it is clear that the real influence of this album lies in "My Hometown I Love", "Perseverance", and "Wild Flowers". It lies in "Cheers, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com Friends" and in "Unfinished Love";

It's so obvious that if you don't understand what's going on, you can hang on to the southeast branch.

In a trance, he suddenly recalled the situation when Liao Liao came in with five songs, and then he scolded her so much that he almost couldn't help but stop the record.

Thinking about it now, I suddenly feel a little scared!

If I couldn't bear this sigh at first, I would just scrap this record...

Looking at it now, the 400,000 spent is really worth it!

Thinking of this, he changed his mind and suddenly thought of Liao Liao's insistence on those songs.

Well, when Liao Liao comes back this time, there will definitely be a celebration party. Shouldn't it be time to tell Liao Liao and ask him to invite that high school student over?

Well, it's still early, it's still early!

When Liao Liao comes back, we will have to wait for a while!

But thinking about it like this, the thoughts in my heart gradually became smoother.

I can't say anything about planning ahead. In fact, I have been planning for many years. Until now, regarding Liao Liao's future, regarding the future of Changsheng Records... Zheng Changsheng suddenly felt that he seemed to have grasped something!
