Chapter 47: The Beginning

Monday, morning, Changsheng Records conference room.

The internal sales ranking data of Dongguan Bookstore has been copied several times and distributed to everyone who attends the meeting.

Everyone's response was muted.

This sales situation is not bad with everyone's speculation at the preparatory meeting before the release, and there is naturally nothing to be surprised about: this achievement, although it is not related to the boom, but for a newcomer, it is not a defeat, in a year's time, it can probably win 500,000 sales, Liao Liao has a preliminary foothold in the domestic music scene, and the company can not only harvest a Liao Liao, but also should be able to make some profits...... What else do you want?

Compared with the sales of "Stars"?

Please, the female singer who can sell "Stars" in the whole country is not enough for a slap.

What Liao Liao compares with her is either megalomania or Alzheimer's!

So, no surprises, no worries, all you can say about this album is nothing more than a point, the 200,000 sets of tapes and 20,000 sets of cD in the first batch of production plans are probably enough to buy for two months, so it is enough to arrange new orders next month to keep the market out of stock.

Then, after a two-day rest, Liao Liao will set off again to promote in other big cities.

That's all.

After finishing "Liao Liao", the meeting had to continue, but there was nothing to do with Liao Liao, so she left first. But she didn't want to, she still ran into Huang Yueqin at the door of the lounge.

Or perhaps, people are simply blocked here.

She said sarcastically, "I'm going to release a new record, how about you invite me to a song with your high school kid?"

Liao Liao looked at her and ignored her.

Huang Yueqin sneered behind her back, and Liao Liao took Huang Wenjuan away.

In short, each has its own unpleasantness.

The next day, Liao Liao left for Shanghai, and the second wave of promotion of the album was about to start.

…………

Beijing, Hua Song Record, Gym.

When the treadmill gradually stopped, Wang Jingxue came down while wiping her sweat with a towel.

A good figure is not for nothing, and the so-called no matter how you eat, you won't get fat is also a lie. A good figure is obtained from daily sweat - for the combination of the five elements and the five elements, a good figure is more important than a good voice!

Wang Jingxue sat in the gym for a while, drank a few sips of water, and then went to take a shower and change into dry clothes, and then went to the door of the singing room to see the list.

The information that Changsheng Records can get, of course, can also be obtained by Chinese Records.

Every Monday morning, there must be a post on the door of the practice room for the latest week's Dongguan Bookstore album sales chart.

It's just that there were too many people watching it when it was first posted, and Wang Jingxue didn't want to join in the excitement, so she always waited until almost noon when everyone dispersed and then went over to watch it - paying attention to the sales and trends of this market is something that everyone who eats the bowl of pop music must always keep in mind, and Wang Jingxue is naturally no exception.

The list is indeed there.

She wiped her hair and looked from the beginning.

Compared to last week, "Stars" dropped one place, but in fact, this is the most in the war, and the sales of "Stars" have not dropped, and if memory serves, it has even sold hundreds more copies than last week. Its ranking has slipped just because Zhang Chang has released a new album, and in the first week, it won nearly 10,000 copies of sales in Dongguan Bookstore alone, and directly landed second on the list.

It can be said that Zhang Chang really lived up to his king-level status in the rivers and lakes, and the continued popularity of "Stars" is almost the last psychological defense line for female singers after Zhen Zhen has not released a new album for several years, and Zhou Yan simply got married and escaped.

Although she sings sweet songs!

And then...... Ah, Shen Haimei actually entered the top ten!

Wang Jingxue's eyes widened in surprise.

But looking at the sales closely, she quickly sighed in disappointment.

She was a bit of a fluke in this tenth place.

There are more than 5,000 weekly sales in the eighth place, and it will drop to about 3,000 in the ninth place, and Shen Haimei only has 3,318 copies - normally speaking, it is difficult for this sales to enter the top ten at this time of the summer vacation.

That's a good thing, though.

In the past year or so, many female singers have begun to hit the top ten again and again, and there have been several albums that have been successful.

It can only be said that the market position of female singers is improving little by little.

Take Shen Haimei's album as an example, it entered the top ten in the first week, you don't care if it's a coincidence or real strength, in short, it entered the top ten, then next, presumably a platinum record is no problem, and if you look at it for a long time, three years or two years, slowly grinding out a double platinum, it's not completely hopeless.

After wandering on Shen Haimei's album sales figures for a long time, Wang Jingxue finally looked away.

The third female singer is, Sun Yue.

She was in fifteenth place with 1,431 copies sold.

This singer Wang Jingxue is very familiar, because the other party is the first sister of Hua Songs.

The album released in mid-June can still sell more than 1,400 copies a week by August, needless to say, it won't be long before the company will have a platinum record celebration for her.

This is another female singer who has won a platinum record in the domestic pop music market!

And then...... The seventeenth is another female singer, Yang Qianzheng.

The name is very atmospheric, very masculine, and the nickname is just as atmospheric - "Little Feng Feifei"!

As soon as you hear it, you know that this is a folk song route!

However, her way is not completely copied from Feng Feifei, she can sing those folk songs and ballads with a unique taste, so for the second album, she maintained her previous market position.

In a year or two, it is estimated that she will be able to slowly sell a platinum record like the last album.

Then, in the nineteenth place, is...... Liao Liao!

This name is a little unfamiliar, but also a little familiar.

After staring at the list for a while, she suddenly remembered that she had heard her song before, and it should be a single.

But......

After a while, she suddenly remembered that her familiarity with the name Liao Liao was not just because she had heard the other party's songs.

It should have been a month ago, almost every day when she got home, she saw Erya holding her Walkman there and listening to the song, so she asked her more about whose song she was listening to, but Erya was ashamed to answer and refused to say.

After that, she was willing to say that it was actually a song given to her by the guy named Li Qian at the door.

And...... It is said to be original!

Wang Jingxue is naturally dismissive of this.

But Er Ya was very unconvinced and said that he really knew how to write songs, and the songs he wrote were super good, and the songs he sang were super good, and he also sold the songs he wrote to a female singer, and it was five songs!

Wang Jingxue asked at the time: Who did you sell it to?

Erya said: It's called Liao Liao.

Wang Jingxue asked again: How much did the five songs cost to you?

Erya said: 400,000.

Wang Jingxue almost sneered!

80,000 yuan a song?

There was no doubt that she was sure at that time that this stupid second girl must have let that kid be deceived.

So Wang Jingxue didn't say much, just thinking about when to go back and talk to that kid.

And now, has Liao Liao's album actually been released?

19th place...... 1128 sheets.

This result is not too good, but it is not bad either. If memory serves, this should be her first album, so this sales should be able to keep her on her feet.

Moreover, I have the impression that her voice is very textured and her singing skills are quite good, so her album should be the kind that can sell for a long time...... That's enough!

No one is soaring, everyone has to stabilize their footing step by step and move up slowly.

Even Zhou Yan, the albums she just debuted didn't sell well.

It's just that...... It seems that this album should be found and listened to, and at least it should be known whether the songs that Liao Liao bought for "400,000 yuan" are used.

If it doesn't work, it's a joke.

Well, as soon as she thought of this, Wang Jingxue was suddenly a little distracted, and she didn't want to continue watching.

Whenever a new work comes out on the market, the company will definitely buy a few copies at a time, keep one copy for storage, and put the rest in the company's audio and video library, which is open to the company's artists for free.

So, even the money to buy an album can be saved.

Thinking about it, Wang Jingxue subconsciously raised her hand to look at her watch, and found that it was time for lunch, so she turned around and wanted to go downstairs to eat.

As a result, before she reached the elevator, she ran into Sun Ruoxuan.

Similar to most combinations in the world, the relationship between the five teammates of the Wuxing Wusu group is not as harmonious and united as it seems on the surface, anyway, between Wang Jingxue and several other teammates, it has always been just a working relationship, and the only exception is probably Sun Ruoxuan.

Among the five girls, Wang Jingxue's singing skills are the best, Sima Duoduo's figure is the most explosive, Xie Bing's face is the most beautiful, and Zhou Pingping's charming eyes are the most attractive...... As for Sun Ruoxuan, she seems to be good in everything, but everything is not the best. Only one thing is that she has the best popularity in the unmanned working group.

Sun Ruoxuan said that it was because the instructor had something to do in the afternoon, so the afternoon dance training was canceled, and then invited Wang Jingxue to eat together.

Since there is no need to rehearse a dance in the afternoon, Wang Jingxue's first choice is, of course, to go home.

So, she politely declined Sun Ruoxuan's invitation, turned around and went back to pack her things, and then went around to the video library.

The newly released album is placed in the most conspicuous place, and there are a total of four albums called "Liao Liao", all of which have not been broken, and it is estimated that they have not been lent out once.

Wang Jingxue took one, chose two others, registered them together, and then went downstairs to pick up the car and go home.

Erya is at home and cooking.

The teacher of their cram school recently had a serious illness, and yesterday someone organized more than a dozen of their classmates to visit the hospital together, so the cram school had to be temporarily suspended. She had already bought a ticket yesterday and was going back to Jinan tonight.

Seeing her sister come back, Wang Jinglu was very happy, and jumped back to her room to take out a box of cD that had not been broken, and said, "Sister, I gave it to you! I bought the tape the day before yesterday, and I have already heard it, it sounds very good!"

Wang Jingxue took it and took a look at ...... "Liao Liao".

Somehow, she suddenly lost interest - looking at her happy look, it seems that Li Qian's work worth 80,000 yuan should have been included in the album?

"Well, thank you. I'll put it away first, and I'll listen to it when I have time. She said.

There wasn't even a smile on his face.

Wang Jinglu was first full of anticipation, then stunned, then puzzled, then lost, and then ...... Suddenly the mood was low.

My sister didn't even want to listen.

However, she listened to all those songs, and they were really good!

She listened to the lyrics one by one, and the lyrics were clearly written: Lyricist Li Qian, composer Li Qian!

They all sound good!

Or it can also be said that the best songs on this album are those five songs!

But...... But......

She told herself in her heart: I'm going home tonight!

Wang Jingxue went to wash her face, and then went into the kitchen.

While eating, she ate and ate, swallowed a small bite of rice, and suddenly said, "Erya, the sales of that album are not bad." I look back...... Will listen. ”

Wang Jinglu was stunned for a moment, and then laughed slowly.

…………

When he went back to Shengshi Garden for lunch, Li Qian took three boxes of the album he had just received in the morning, only to find that his father had bought five boxes in one go.

But Dad Li is obviously not too much, he is going to wait until the school starts, and the teachers in his office will send a box each, as well as Li's mother's side, and the people in her company are also going to send a few copies out - just these few copies, it's not enough at all!

As soon as he bought it, he took it apart and listened to it, and he still listened to it according to the lyrics, and he knew which songs were his son's works, and if the songs were good or not, he put them aside, so he bought them, sang them, and recorded them as albums to sell outside, which was a rare honor - this is my son!

Of course, this pride, Li's father and Li's mother will not let their son see it.

The two of them went to the dinner table, and Li's mother just asked, how did the album sell? How much did it sell?

Dad Li said: Anyway, when he went out to wander around in the past two days, when he passed by those video stores, he didn't hear Liao Liao's song playing on the speakers in other stores.

The people's point of view is that if the big speakers in the video store are not put down, of course they are not popular!

Not to mention, this line of thinking is basically correct!

So, Li Qian had no choice but to answer them: It's still too early to say that the sales are too early, and the second title song will start to be promoted, that is, when "My Hometown of Love" begins to exert force, it is time to really start looking at sales.

Li's father and Li Ma don't know what the title song is, but they have listened to a lot of radio broadcasts recently, and they can probably guess what it means, so they say "oh" one after another.

"The Hometown of My Love" ...... That's Li Qian's song!

In other words, it's time to see the bayonet and start seeing what level of his son's works are?

Dad Li asked a little worriedly: "Then what if the second title song can't be sold?"

Li Qian smiled, "Then it's cold! Anyway, I won't return the money!"

…………

"Liao Liao" ushered in the second week of its release.

Of course, the specific sales volume will not be known until next Monday, but according to the feedback given by the research company hired by the company, this album is indeed selling very well in various bookstores, supermarkets, and video stores.

The newly released album will definitely be placed in the most conspicuous place. But if a period of time goes by and you still can't sell, then I'm sorry, you're going to have to make room for a newer album!

According to the people from the investigation company, many relatively small individual video stores have chosen to put the album "Liao Liao" on the shelves.

In other words, in less than a week, she has already stepped down from the recommendation position of "highly recommended by the store manager".

But at this time, when Liao Liao was participating in a late-night music program on a local radio station in Shanghai, the program had just finished playing the first title song, and before he could start recommending the second title song, he suddenly received a call from a reader.

The other party asked: The song "My Hometown of Love" is so good, why don't you play it on the radio?

Liao Liao was almost about to jump up at that time!
