On Monday, May 13, "Romance in Troubled Times" officially premiered at 8 p.m. on a program on Huaxia TV.

For the audience, their first impression of this TV series is the sonorous and powerful sentence "Waves Running Waves" at the beginning, fans who are familiar with and like Liao Liao, and they have only listened to two or three sentences before they have determined that this is Liao Liao's voice.

After that, it's this wonderful TV story.

Since the next day, this song has suddenly become a popular golden song on the Voice of China on-demand station, and almost one or two of the ten people who call to order the song will have one or two on-demand this song - some say that they want to play "Da Jiangdong Go", which is carefully, read the end credits, and some say that they want to play "Waves and Waves", which is the one who forgot the title of the song or didn't read the subtitles, and even more, directly said that "Troubled Times" will be played on demand When the host or operator asks whether it is the theme song or the ending song, the other party's answer is often a "wave rush" that looks like it looks like it or runs out of tune.

Before the specific statistics came out, no one knew how many of the songs could be on the gold song list, but almost everyone who paid attention to this piece of information knew that this song was on fire.

As a result, overnight, including the Voice of China, the sound of "running waves" began to appear frequently in various music programs on almost every radio station in the country, and some radio stations, even starting from Tuesday, have to play it more than a dozen times a day!

Piracy is very fast, although the domestic audio-visual piracy and book piracy have always been very strict, but piracy is still very fast, especially for big-name singers like Liao Liao, kings and queens, often their genuine version has just come out, and the pirate over there gets the genuine version, and then begins to convert the master tape. At most, a day or two of work, the master tape can enter the factory and go down to the workshop.

Then, in about ten to two weeks, the pirated copies will be available on the market, and within three weeks, they will definitely spread all over the country - although in this time. Because the shipment of genuine copies is also very large, and the video stores make a lot of money by selling genuine copies than selling pirated copies, so they are not particularly inclined to sell pirated copies, coupled with the crackdown of the state, so that pirated copies cannot be sold arbitrarily, and often need to be hidden, to a certain extent, it also leaves a longer living space for genuine copies, but as long as you want to buy pirated copies. Generally, in two or three weeks, you can buy it.

But in the first few days of a song's appearance, even if the pirates were capable, their pirated tapes would not be able to get their hands on them.

Therefore, "Da Jiangdong Go" is popular, but all bookstores and audio-visual stores in the country are out of stock. There are no genuine pirated copies.

And at this very time. When the pirates over there were probably finishing the master tapes and had already started to produce pirated tapes for "The Great River East". On Saturday, May 18, Liao Liao was a guest on the Voice of China Radio Station at half past nine in the evening and brought the first title song of his new album "Grateful Heart", "Dream Camel Bell".

Liao Liao wants to do a show, even for a radio station of the level of Voice of China. is also a big event, so naturally it is appropriate to focus on publicity in advance, not to mention that Liao Liao is said to bring her new album?

So, there is no doubt about the program of this night. Listening rates exploded.

And whether it is the first title song of the album "Dream Camel Bell" broadcast for the first time, or the rock work "Passionate Desert" she brought subsequently, they are all absolutely classic and good songs, whether they are fans of Liao Liao or not, for listeners who have listened to this episode of the show, there is no doubt that these two songs make them feel like a "feast for their ears".

Even, just after the end of the program that night, "Dream Camel Bell" and "Passionate Desert" quickly became the biggest hits on demand on various hotlines, and by the next day, their popularity had risen to the level that was not inferior to "Da Jiangdong Go"!

It was on this day, May 18, that Qi Jie sat in the warehouse of Shuntianfu and began to personally supervise the loading of the transportation company, which began to deliver goods from relatively distant provinces.

On May 19, the weekend, Liao Liao was a guest on a variety show on Dragon TV and sang the track "Crescent Spring" of the new album live.

On Monday, May 20, except for a very small number of provinces such as Tibet, distributors across the country that Qijie had contacted and signed supply contracts had begun to arrive one after another, and sent goods to lower-level dealers on the same day.

On Wednesday, May 22, "Grateful Heart" was officially released nationwide.

On this day, the Voice of China Radio's golden song on-demand list was released on time-

"Da Jiangdong Go", second place.

"Dream Camel Bell", seventh place.

"Desert of Passion", 9th place.

Moreover, you must know that when the former won the second place, listeners and fans couldn't even buy any tapes or CDs and other officially published distributions, but they were able to get this result, purely by relying on a TV series, plus I learned later that it was Liao Liao's new song. As for the last two, they even appeared on Saturday night, finishing seventh and ninth, respectively, and making it to the list, in fact, only amassing more than a day of on-demand views.

But the problem is, not to mention the peripheral fans, Liao Liao has released two albums so far, and she has been popular for two years, and she has accumulated a considerable number of die-hard fans, but now, "Grateful Heart" has been officially listed, and many fans have heard the news and went to the bookstore or video store where they often buy tapes and CDs, but found that they couldn't buy it!

For many fans, of course, if they can't buy it, they will give up first, then they won't buy it, but for some die-hard fans, since it is on the market, of course, they must hear Liao Liao's new song as soon as possible, especially if the fan is still fifteen, sixteen or seventeen years old, then he is almost unwilling to wait even a minute.

But, after all, someone still bought it.

Then, all kinds of news began to circulate among friends, classmates, and colleagues, for example, so-and-so video store had stock, and someone bought it there -- in terms of the strength of the local distribution companies signed by Qi Jie, they really did not have the ability to distribute records to all the video stores at every turn, so suppose that if a city has 100 supermarkets, video stores, and bookstores that serve as sales terminals for records, then the strength of their distributors at that level can probably only cover thirty or forty distributions. It's only twenty or thirty, and a lot of times, they can't get too good shelves.

But even so, there is a stock, after all, it is still in stock.

The lack of distribution volume and distribution points will of course affect sales to a large extent. But for the first batch of fans who will actively rush to buy the new album, it will not have much impact - this group of people is even willing to ride it on a bicycle for ten kilometers and eight kilometers to buy it, not to mention just changing to a video store a little farther away?

As for whether it is placed on the best and most conspicuous shelf, or on the shelf that is not easy to be noticed, for Liao Liao's new album, for Liao Liao's die-hard fans, is it important?

Liao Liao has already reached the point where fans don't need to "discover".

So, in a way. It is no longer up to the store manager and salesperson to decide which shelf Liao Liao's new album should be placed on - after only two or three days of hard work, when their stock was quickly sold out again and again, fools know where to put this album!

Even, in just two or three days, those video stores that the distributors can't store have to take the initiative to contact the distributors -- buddy, is Liao Liao's new album in stock? Can you also distribute goods for me?

After a few days of hard work, "Grateful Heart" is almost everywhere!

If it is said. On the first day of the album's release, when you walk down the streets of any city, you probably only occasionally hear a video store playing the songs on the album with a big speaker, and then you might suddenly be moved by a certain song and stop there, then wait until the next day, you walk down the street and hear the album. It has suddenly doubled.

And when the time came to the third day, the feeling that "Persistence" and "The Sound of the Waves Remained" were popular all over the world seemed to have suddenly returned, but this time, it became "Dream Camel Bell". It became "Passionate Desert", "Crescent Spring", "Grateful Heart", and "Happy Home".

Only Liao Liao, or that Liao Liao.

For Li Qian's studio, or Minghu Culture Company, from the first two days of the album's official release, the office area here has completely become a battlefield.

The phone rang one after another, and the data was quickly summarized through the telephone line, and then sorted into various reports, which flew into Qi Jie's office like snowflakes.

Qi Jie didn't have the time or the heart to walk the streets, for Li Qian's studio, who was setting foot in the distribution field for the first time, they didn't have any experience to talk about, and there was no one to rely on, so from the beginning, she sat in the company, carefully analyzed all the reports, and carefully grasped any invoice.

It's hard to say anything else, judging from the transfer notices in various places, the shipment volume of "Grateful Heart" in one week greatly exceeded expectations, which made Qi Jie both surprised and puzzled. Because she has done detailed research and analysis of her partners, she knows very well the distribution capabilities of those companies. And according to the normal situation, their shipments cannot be so fast!

So, three days later, she couldn't hold it anymore, and finally called and asked about several cooperative local distribution companies. Then, when all kinds of information came back, she suddenly understood that it was Liao Liao who activated the market!

The strength of the distributor is limited, but the appeal of Liao Liao and the appeal of "Grateful Heart" are so strong that whoever comes to act as an agent can sell it all over the world!

As a result, those publishers around the country who were originally mediocre in strength suddenly doubled, tripled, or even tripled their distribution network with the help of this album!

When the analysis got such a result, I have to say that although Qi Jie has always been full of confidence in Li Qian and Liao Liao, she still couldn't help but be a little shocked, and subconsciously took out her mobile phone and wanted to call Li Qian.

But when she held the phone in her hand and found the number, she couldn't help but stop.

Immediately, she smiled to herself and put her phone away.

That's Liao Liao and Li Qian, for today's domestic music scene, it is natural for the two of them to join forces, no matter what height they reach, isn't it?

…………

"Hey, Mr. Tong? I'm Liu Zhongxin from the second store of Songjiang Mansion! Is that "Grateful Heart" still out of stock? Oh, oh. Okay, okay, okay, what, you'd better push the record company again, this album is the best time to make money. The 300 copies sent by the head office, we didn't use it for two days, and it was sold out, and many members ordered, and everyone reported that this album was not out of stock on the market, so someone ordered it on the front foot, and called to unsubscribe on the back foot, saying that it was bought outside. In the long run, we will lose a lot of turnover and a lot of profits!"

"Okay, okay, I know, I'm urging, don't worry! Wait, I'll hang up first!"

"Hey, Mr. Tong, I'm Lao Zhao of Shen Yang Mansion. Do you remember me? Haha, yes. Yes, it's me, what, we have "Grateful Heart" here for the third day of out-of-stock, and a large number of members come to order every day, but people call to unsubscribe every day. Saying that you can buy it outside, it makes us very passive, you see...... Oh, good, good. Then hurry up, this record is simply a money grab! Liao Liao's album is worthy of its name...... Hey, good, good, goodbye!"

Putting down the phone, Tong Qinghuan rubbed his brows in distress.

Then, he picked up the internal phone and said to the outside: "If there are any more calls from branches around the country to urge the goods, don't transfer them to me again, just say that I have gone out to contact the record company to urge the goods!"

After saying this, he snapped the phone and sighed helplessly.

Then, after thinking about it, he pulled out his phone and dialed a number.

When the phone was connected, he said, "Lao Huang, I'm an old boy from Dongguan Bookstore!" I'll tell you...... You don't have to talk to me about that, I'll tell you, I've been pressing for you for five days, and their rankings this week will definitely not go up...... No, don't even think about it! How much money do you give me? 500,000 yuan and you want me to continue to press?"

"Let me tell you, I'll help you press this album for the past five days, do you know how much pressure I'm under? If it's not good, someone will dare to stab the matter at the office meeting, if that's the case, I'm going to be punished! Come on, let me tell you, I'm really already a brother who has done his best to be benevolent and righteous! This matter will end here, understand? If I press it down again, even I may fall into the pit, I don't know?...... Yes, I promised you to help you press them for ten days, but at that time, how did I know that this album would sell so well?"

"At that time, you told me that Liao Liao had changed owners, and her new album would definitely not sell well! What was the result? Do you know how much sales my company will lose if I help you suppress these five days? Let me tell you, once things get bigger, I won't be able to eat and walk around!"

Hung up the phone, Tong Qinghuan thought about it, touched the phone again, and then he came to open the desk, turned out a business card, dialed the number, and as soon as the phone was connected, he quickly smiled and said: "Hey, it's the president of Minghu Culture, right? Oh, hehe, I'm the old boy of Dongguan Bookstore, Tong Qinghuan, ahaha, yes, yes, it's me! That's the case, our cooperation is still very pleasant, then you look at this, about the follow-up supply, I think we can find a place to talk?...... Oh, good, good, haha, oops, Qi is always a person who understands! hehe, okay, good...... Then I'll wait for you, and we'll see you back!"

After hanging up the phone, he thought about it, picked up the internal phone, and said to the outside: "Recently, the stores around the country have summarized the reminder lists for the record of "Grateful Heart"? Well, okay, that's good, arrange the warehouse, and send them all out this time! How much to send? That's not nonsense, how many to send! The goods are not enough, I am responsible for urging the goods over there, and the things that are easy to sell, of course, we need to distribute more goods!" Speaking of this, he slowed down and said in a gentle voice: " That, by the way, you remember to summarize the number of reminders everywhere and give me a total, well, that's it!"

…………

Ten minutes later, the secretary came in and reported: "Branches across the country have basically been out of stock since Thursday and Friday, and just now, we have saved a total of 625,000 boxes of tapes and 113,000 boxes of CDs. In addition, there are many branches urging for posters for this album, so we called and asked about it because we were curious, and according to them, many fans ran over and insisted on buying the posters that we brought to hang and put up, saying that they wanted to buy them back and collect ......them."

Speaking of this, noticing that Mr. Tong didn't react, the secretary couldn't help but look up, but found that his boss was actually dumbfounded, with his mouth slightly open.

And a moment later, Mr. Tong suddenly punched the table and muttered, "I actually let this kid get a pit!"

The secretary was at a loss.

…………

The secretary went out, Tong Qinghuan took out the calculator and snapped it, and then, he stared at the final number on the calculator, and he wanted to cry without tears - this Nima, even if it is only one percent of the rebate, is much more than 500,000!

Huang Dazhong of the dog day!

…………

On Monday, May 27, the latest issue of Dongguan Bookstore's sales list was released on time.

"Grateful Heart" ranked fourth with 11,500 copies sold in a single week -- after the major record companies got this sales chart, there were some who were surprised and some who smiled.

But almost everyone understands in their hearts that despite changing companies and publishing companies, Liao Liao's new album probably shouldn't have such results, especially since this is still in Dongguan Bookstore.

But this time, Liao Liao didn't get airborne to the top of the list in the first week!

However, when May 29 arrived, and on Wednesday, the Voice of China released last week's on-demand list of golden songs on time, everyone quickly understood that this could only be regarded as an accident at best.

And Liao Liao is still that Liao Liao.

I really want a monthly pass, a monthly pass, a monthly pass......

But I can't break out for the time being, I can only watch myself slip down little by little on the monthly ticket list, and I am extremely depressed! )
