Chapter 112: The Price of Love
The Monday morning of Minghu Culture is the time for the regular meeting.
The administrative, financial and other departments are generally attended by managers and deputy managers, but on the production department's side, several big-name producers, and all the contracted singers at home must attend - without their business, you don't have to speak or anything, but at least you have to follow, and you have to know the company's next move.
Of course, unless there is something important to arrange or summarize, otherwise, such a regular meeting is generally over in twenty or thirty minutes, and then it is necessary to do what to do without delaying things.
This morning's regular meeting was disrupted by the sales ranking of Dongguan Bookstore that came out in advance, and it was postponed for a full twenty minutes, at 9:50, the people who should have come to the regular meeting arrived in a row, and Qi Jie was the last to arrive.
She was smiling when she came in, and when she saw that the people on both sides of the conference table were almost seated, she smiled as she walked to her seat: "Everyone saw it, right?"
This matter was already being discussed in the conference room, and everyone laughed when they heard it, and they didn't know who would take the lead first, and then everyone applauded in unison.
At this moment, almost everyone had a relaxed expression on their faces—two extremes from the inexplicable dullness and depression that permeated the entire company before the sales rankings came out.
Qi Jie's face was also full of relaxed smiles, she walked to her seat and sat down, looked left and right, He Runqing and Liu Mei went out to do publicity, of course they weren't there, Li Qian didn't come, this is understandable. He seems to be messing with something lately. What is said to be a storyboard. Then, Liao Liao didn't come either......
However, she didn't care, but smiled and picked up the information in her hand, and when the applause fell, she smiled and said: "Although I have called Sister Runqing just now to congratulate her, I think that although she is out of town now, she is not here." But we should give her another round of applause, what do you think?"
As her voice fell, everyone smiled and nodded again, and applauded.
In the past week, to be honest, although He Runqing had completed a rather beautiful transformation last year, this year's album has "Li Qian Production" to endorse and lay the foundation for her, according to convention, this is enough to make everyone confident in her.
However, this year's record market. It's so lively, let's just say the first few weeks. Liu Mingming's new album and He Runqing's "The Price of Love" are only ten days apart! Although everyone sings differently and has different genders, it is impossible to say that they are completely unaffected, not to mention that there is also a newcomer Zheng Guofeng and his "Winter Rose" The sudden popularity has become an unexpected factor in the market, and considering that He Runqing has just completed the transformation and has not yet completely stabilized his status and style......
Therefore, even with all kinds of favorable factors in hand, everyone is still a little uneasy about what she can achieve with this album - if this is Liao Liao, then everyone will not have to worry about anything at all, but this person is replaced by He Runqing, but there will be some, this is the biggest difference between the two of them.
If you really want to divide the levels, then the current Liao Liao is the only A+! position in the domestic music industry is so stable that no one can stop it, and He Runqing, although he is also a diva, can only be regarded as A when there is only one popular album. Of course, seeing the sales of "The Price of Love" in the first week of its release, about her level, can already be adjusted to A, and if a healthy trend can continue in the future, then she will sit firmly in the A level.
36,992 sheets!
"The Price of Love" directly landed at the top of the list!
This result, of course, is much worse than the super crazy in the first week of "Dream Chaser" last year, but you must know that the result at that time was not to mention put on He Runqing, even if it was put on Liao Liao, it was definitely super crazy.
To put it simply, ten days later, coupled with the very hot "transformation" of publicity, coupled with the first fresh publicity method of parallel to the Internet and reality, so many factors together contributed to the super sale of "Dream Chaser" in the first week, and also achieved a record refresh of countless sales data in the domestic record market!
Moreover, even "Dream Chaser" was only super against the sky that week, and in the second week, sales immediately plummeted and returned to the normal sales range - the super high data at that time was almost impossible to replicate!
By the time "The Price of Love" arrived, He Runqing had completed the transformation, and first lost the biggest publicity gimmick, even if there was online publicity, it had lost the suddenness and freshness of the original, so of course, the sales data would return to normal from the beginning - when discussing the publicity plan in advance, when predicting the sales of this album, including Li Qian, they also believed that this album should be listed calmly and quietly, and not make any shows.
Only in the case of completely following the conventional methods to do publicity and go public, can you still achieve beautiful sales, He Runqing's low position as a diva, and the style of this new mature woman after her transformation, can be regarded as really stable.
And now, the sales of Dongguan Bookstore in the first Wednesday of more than 16,000 and nearly 37,000 copies, for He Runqing, for He Runqing, who has "Dream Chaser", of course, is not amazing, but it can definitely be regarded as a steady landing!
It's gone to the false fire, but this achievement is still enough to dominate the entire domestic record market outside of Liao Liao!
You must know that Zhou Yan and her "Tears of Witches" are already popular enough, but the peak sales of her album are only about 13,000 copies in a single Wednesday, and Liao Liao's "Woman Flower" has been unanimously praised by the industry and outside, believing that Liao Liao has made another breakthrough in singing skills, and Li Qian's creation, supervision and production are also at a super high level as always, which can be called a double explosion of word-of-mouth and sales, but the highest single week of her album is only about 42,000 copies.
Next week, I don't want to continue to explode, even if it is just stable at more than 35,000 pieces, He Runqing will sit firmly in the second place in the domestic music scene, and will also be recognized by everyone as an A-level celebrity in the music world!
Therefore, this is not an amazing sales compared to "Dream Chaser". But it is enough to make the entire Minghu culture breathe a sigh of relief. It was enough for Qi Jie to call in person. Giving the good news to He Runqing, who was in the field, was enough to make everyone's applause in the company's conference room loud and loud again and again.
It's just a pity...... Obviously, Li Qian came to the company, but he didn't know what he was busy with and didn't come to the meeting.
In fact, almost everyone understands that if there is no Li Qian's works, if there is no Li Qian to personally handle them. Even if He Runqing has successfully transformed, it is still unknown what the direction of this album will be.
Therefore, in fact, it is He Runqing who is popular, and her "The Price of Love", but the first hero in everyone's hearts definitely belongs to Li Qian.
So the applause rang out, and many people began to exchange glances with each other.
Sun Ruoxuan is the most clever, holding the table with her hands. With a wicked smile on his face, he whispered, "Mr. Qi." Do you want me to drag the boss over and enjoy our worship?"
As soon as these words came out, many people laughed, and the applause naturally gradually stopped.
Sun Ruoxuan, who can say such things, is of course very relaxed.
In fact, not only him, but also Xie Bing, Wang Jingxue, but also Zhuang Meiyue, Zhao Yuan, Ge Releng and other pure newcomers, are in a very relaxed mood at the moment - He Runqing's big sell, "Li Qian Production" is still invincible, for them who are about to release an album next, of course, it is the best shot in the arm!
At this time, Qi Jie also smiled, thought about it, turned her head and exchanged glances with Sun Meimei who was sitting beside her, she seemed to be a little hesitant, but she said a little enthusiastically: "Or ......"
Before she could finish speaking, someone suddenly pushed the door and entered.
Seventeen pairs of eyes turned in unison.
Li Qian just pushed the door and stepped in with one foot, and was suddenly stunned when he saw this.
After a moment, he looked down at himself, then looked up at everyone again, opened his hands, and said with a puzzled expression, "I...... Is there something wrong? Why is everyone looking at me like that?"
There was a brief silence, but no one answered.
Moments later, however, there was a burst of laughter in the room.
"Long live the boss!"
This is the careful and all-encompassing sycophant essence Zhuang Mitsuki.
"Brother, you looked so stupid just now!"
This is Zhao Yuan, who has never been afraid of death.
"Boss double happiness!"
This is Sun Ruoxuan, who subconsciously pursed her mouth.
…………
Li Qian didn't come just now because he suddenly received a call from He Runqing.
In her words, "I really want to hug you and kiss you now!", so of course, Li Qian chatted with her a few more words.
If you think about it, when He Runqing chose to have a complete fall out with Sony Records two years ago, and then came to Li Qian's studio at that time with a newcomer contract, of course she must have fantasized about her rise again, and even fantasized about a lot of glorious pictures, but at that time, no matter how much she believed in Li Qian's strength, she couldn't have expected that the first album that Li Qian helped her achieve such a hot result!
And now, in the first week, he landed at the top of the sales list of Dongguan Bookstore, with nearly 37,000 copies sold in a single week, and everything once again proves how correct his decision was that was ridiculed and questioned by countless people!
It's only two albums, in two years, she He Runqing has been on the stage for more than ten years after her debut, and in the case of declining, she can already officially announce her strong rise again, and this time the rise, what she is stepping on is not a swaying rock, but a very high but very flat and stable mountain!
As long as she continues the current style, as long as she continues to come up with good works, she can be popular for at least five more years!
And five years later, when she is approaching the age of 40, she can really consider semi-retirement! When the time comes, she will release an album from time to time, and from time to time release a "new song + selection" or something like that, and then hold a concert and play something else across the border. Twenty years of popularity is almost impossible to achieve in the highly competitive music world, and no one has ever done it before, red as Liu Mingming, red as Zhen Zhen, red as the Flying Band, and can't do it, a generation of new people for the old, that is the law of all generations, but she is sure that she can do it!
So it is conceivable that she said, "I can't wait to hug you and kiss you", which is not a lie.
Speaking of utilitarianism, it is undeniable that there must be some utilitarian aspects, but then again, it is really not easy to find things that are not mixed with utilitarianism at all in this world. What's more, although her words came out of her mouth in a state of excitement after learning the results, the gratitude in her heart was solid.
After chatting with her for a while and admonishing her a few more words, Li Qian hung up the phone and rushed over to the meeting.
In fact, after all, it was just a regular meeting, and there was nothing too important to say, and with this sales list released half an hour in advance, even if Li Qian went, he was just listening to everyone express their excitement.
On this week's rankings, He Runqing directly landed at the top of the list with "The Price of Love".
In second place is Zheng Guofeng, the current popular love song Xiaosheng Zheng Guofeng, the newcomer recently launched by Xinda Records, with his first album "Winter Rose", which really won full applause.
This week, in the fourth week of the album's listing, the sales finally stopped climbing, but compared with the 33,518 copies that exploded last week, this week's 32,741 copies not only made him sit firmly in the second place after He Runqing, but also simply looked at this result, it still belongs to the category of sales explosion!
After all, being able to exceed 30,000 in a single week for two consecutive weeks has to be considered a good result for anyone!
Therefore, Zheng Guofeng is really popular!
After Liu Mingliang achieved 26,511 sales last week, he really began to decline this week, ranking third with a score of 23,269 - he neither failed to suppress the newcomer Zheng Guofeng, nor did he have any big impact on He Runqing's big sales.
No. 4 on this week's list is Liao Liao's "Woman Flower".
In the ninth week of its release, this album still achieved a good result of 22,818 copies, which is only about 400 copies lower than Liu Mingming's new album in the third week of its release, and compared with the downward trend of both sides, it is still unknown who will be more and who will be less next week!
And Zhou Yan and her "Witch's Tears" also continued to maintain a fairly healthy decline this week, ranking fifth after "Woman Flower" with a score of 22,054 tickets.
In fact, running to the present, the two of them PK to the ninth week, each other's results have always been very close, Liao Liao has certainly suppressed Zhou Yan throughout the whole process, but compared to before, Zhou Yan is still very popular - for the two of them, it can be regarded as a big achievement!
Of course, whether Zhou Yan will be happy about this is another matter. (To be continued.) )
