For artists, whenever the release date of a new album is approaching, it also means the busiest time.

Because they want to promote their new album, and they can't do without public relations.

No, since the album was completed, Zhang Zixuan has almost traveled to all major TV stations in Beijing, and has done dozens of programs, not to mention nearly 100 interviews, and has only recently been a little free.

However, it is a small thing to go back and forth to various radio studios and recording studios, and the most troublesome thing is that you still need to queue up.

That's right, just wait in line one by one!

Because everyone knows that this period of time is the last moment to hit the Golden Melody Awards, so the singers who can get a new album will basically release it at this point in time, of course, this premise is that you are a big name!

And at this time, everyone needs publicity, but if there are many people, it will naturally be full, you want to be on the show, OK, queue up!

First come, first served, understand?

What's wrong with you being a diva, you're not the only diva in the entire music world, and there are so many people who are older than you in terms of seniority! And it's really not nice to say that you use things like identity and fame to oppress people. So, slowly, "first come, first served" became a common rule for everyone.

Therefore, for the sake of her album, Zhang Zixuan arranged today's schedule every day, in order to reduce the queue and finish the show earlier. Then, it's about putting on makeup, waiting, and recording the show, sometimes the waiting time is long, and you have to re-touch the makeup, and you have to keep a good state when recording the show, which is much more tiring than when you were recording the album.

Therefore, at the end of the day, what makes Zhang Zixuan feel most relieved is that when she goes home, she immediately lies on the bed and sleeps beautifully, and it is best to wake up naturally.

As the so-called iron beating people can't stand the fatigue, in the past few days, Zhang Zixuan's whole person has lost a lot of weight.

However, fortunately, such an ordeal was not in vain, and on October 25th, "The First Dream" was officially released!

Just the day before the sale, on the evening of the 24th.

Evergreen Records Manager's Office.

Qiu Tao picked up the document that the assistant had just sent, looked at it for a while, and then collapsed on the office chair, rubbed his temples, and sighed: "Alas, it's really troublesome now!"

And there are two reasons why he is so distressed.

First, there is no doubt and unsurprisingly, Sheng Records has come to intervene again - Zhou Yuning also released an album at the same time, and the release time is still today, one day earlier than Xiaoxuan's new album.

But this is not what bothers Qiu Tao the most, after all, it has not been a day or two since Sheng's record and his evergreen record have been opposed, but because of the second point.

Zhang Shuqi, the queen of love songs, and Dong Shaoqing, the princess of sweet songs, are also preparing to release new albums, and the scheduled time is the same day as Zhang Zixuan, that is, they are both October 25th!

And these two people are not ordinary! The former is the leader of Great Wall Records, and once a love song album "You Under the Stars" won double platinum sales, setting a record for the highest sales of a single album of love songs; while the latter is the leader of Qianqian Records, one year older than Zhang Zixuan, and her previously released sweet song album "The Girl Who Loves to Laugh" also set a record for the top of the single-week sales chart.

Therefore, this makes Qiu Tao very stressed!

So, Qiu Tao beckoned to the assistant on the side and said, "Contact the heads of various departments immediately and prepare for a meeting!" After a pause, he added: "Call Lu Lao and Zixuan again." ”

…..

When they arrived at the conference room, after everyone sat down, Qiu Tao tapped his fingers on the table and said, "Let's talk about it, what should I do about this?"

Everyone present, in addition to Qiu Tao himself, as well as Lu Lao and Zhang Zixuan, there are a total of five people left, namely the manager of the production department, the manager of the distribution department, the manager of the production department, the manager of the publicity department and the art director. Of course, there were other directors of Evergreen Company, but they didn't matter about it, so they weren't called.

Everyone looked at the documents in their hands, and the manager of the distribution department took the lead and said: "Since this time it is not only Sheng Record Company, but also Great Wall and Qianqian, I think it is better to postpone this album for a few more days, Mr. Qiu, what do you think?"

When the production manager heard this, he nodded thoughtfully, and then said: "I think we should also avoid its edge first, a Zhou Yuning has already made us anxious, plus Zhang Shuqi and Dong Shaoqing, it is not good to say....There is no chance of winning!"

When the manager of the publicity department heard it, she didn't seem to agree, she said: "I don't agree with what the previous two managers said, judging from the data collected by our publicity department, Zixuan's new album this time obviously has the strength to compete with others." ”

When Qiu Tao heard this, he was obviously interested, and said, "You go on." ”

Seeing this, the manager of the Propaganda Department nodded and said: "From the previous radio and television station audience's expectation questionnaire, more than 90% of people are looking forward to Zhang Zixuan's new album this time, and because of the radio stations that interviewed Zhang Zixuan, the ratings have increased by nearly one percentage point, of course, this is only in the Beijing area." So, to sum up, I don't think we need to be afraid that this album will be worse than others. ”

What the manager of the propaganda department said through the data was obviously very convincing, and the art director nodded after hearing it: "I have always trusted what the propaganda department said, and I think we can try it this time!"

After thinking about it, he said: "But for this matter, the biggest say is still in the hands of Lu Lao, after all, this album is recorded by Lu Lao himself." ”

Hearing this, Qiu Tao also turned his head and asked, "Old Lu, what do you think?"

But Lu Lao just smiled when he heard this, did not speak, and turned his head to look at Zhang Zixuan.

And Zhang Zixuan is so angry now. Although she often came to this conference room, she was obviously very uncomfortable with this serious atmosphere, but seeing that Lu Lao's attitude was obviously a decision for herself, she had no choice but to bite the bullet and say: "I... Listen to Mr. Qiu!"

Yes, it's back to me!

So, Qiu Tao knocked on the table again, suddenly looked up and said to the production manager: "Lao Li, how many CDs have you produced over there?"

The manager of the production department weighed it for a while and said, "Nearly a million sheets!"

"Okay, besides, produce another million copies for me, ready for me!" Qiu Tao slapped the table and decided, "On the first day, 500,000 CDs will be put on the shelves to test the water."

When he heard this, the manager of the distribution department was anxious and said: "Mr. Qiu, this is not good, there is so much production in the first week, in case it can't be sold... Our capital chain will not be able to turn around!"

After all, this sales matter is done by their distribution department, although this matter is decided by Mr. Qiu himself, fundamentally speaking, it is not his business, but once it is not sold well, he will not be able to eat and walk around.

Moreover, the production cost of 2 million albums is more than 10 million yuan, which is most of the company's working capital! If it can't be sold, who can guarantee that Mr. Qiu won't be angry with him?

So, this errand...... Hard to do!

But Qiu Tao seemed to think that this album would be a big seller, and he insisted on it: "I have decided, and it will be released tomorrow." ”

Seeing this, the manager of the distribution department had no choice but to shake his head and sigh.
