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

Seeing that there were so many people in the boss's office, he was stunned for a moment, but immediately found that they were all acquaintances within the company, so when he opened his mouth to complain about his grievances, "Mr. Zheng, Manager Sun called me just now, saying that I should come to you to think of a way, Sony refused to arrange production, saying that it was the fastest and fastest, and it could only be arranged on Friday to start making our list......! This is good, their own company's records are obviously not in a hurry, and even if they are produced, they can only be piled up in the warehouse first, but they just continue to produce! Our "Liao Liao" is obviously about to be sold out, but we have to continue to wait! No, Manager Sun didn't even come to the company early in the morning and went again, but it was useless! People are stuck and say they have to queue! Mr. Zheng, do you see if you can call Sony or something......

Hearing this, Zheng Changsheng nodded slowly, turned around and sat down.

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

At this time, he picked up the pick-up notice on the table and shook it, saying, "It's not right now, but it's sold out!"

Ma Xiang was stunned when he heard this, and hurriedly went over to take the pick-up notice, only glanced at it, and couldn't help but smack his teeth, and let out a "tsk" life, saying: "This is too scary...... I remember it was less than two weeks after it was launched, right? I think it's ...... Hey, Lao Liu, I remember that you said at a previous meeting that the sales volume of Dongguan Bookstore and the overall sales volume of the market are about 20 times? Now that Dongguan Bookstore is sold out, doesn't that mean that our first batch of 200,000 tapes plus 20,000 cD has also been sold out?"

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

But at this time, Yang Fan interjected and said: "Actually, in addition to sending this investigation results, I also have something to say, just now I was in the office, and I have received calls from four provincial dealers to urge the goods, according to their statement, they have also begun to run out of stock on a large scale." I guess even today, there will be a lot of people who will make this kind of call!"

Everyone looked surprised when they heard this, and then almost unanimously, they all turned their heads to look at Zheng Changsheng.

Zheng Changsheng's fingers tapped slowly on the tabletop, and although it was difficult to hide the turmoil in his heart, his face was surprisingly calm. After a few moments, he pulled open the drawer and pulled out a small humidor, which he opened and took out a cigar.

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

But Zheng Changsheng took out the cigar cutter slowly, cut off the seal, struck the match, and slowly burned the cigar first, and then puffed it into his mouth, puffing and lighting it.

The smoke is loud.

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

Several people in this room, most of them old smokers, asked about the fragrance of this cigar, not only did they choke, but they enjoyed it, but Zhao Meifeng, first subconsciously covered her nose, and then coughed twice.

Then, the room fell silent.

Obviously, several people were anxiously waiting for something, but none of them spoke, so that the room was quiet only the sound of Zheng Changsheng smoking cigars and the soft air supply of the air conditioner.

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

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

As she spoke, she handed over the newspaper in her hand.

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

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

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

At the beginning of domestic pop music in the 70s, it was this old man who ran and shouted, and finally the government began to fully liberalize the control of the music industry, and at the same time liberalized the access mechanism of private capital, which finally formed the great prosperity of domestic pop music since the 80s.

Moreover, it was this old man who first discovered the Feixiang Band with one hand, then made Liu Mingliang popular with one hand, and then Feng Feifei...... Oh, by the way, he is still Zhou Yan's mentor! It is said that Zhou Yan pestered him for more than a month, and finally the old man was helpless and agreed to make an album for her, and then he became popular Zhou Yan!

Today, of course, this old man has long since withdrawn from the rivers and lakes and no longer participates in any production, and even his lyrics and songs have almost been cut off in the past few years, but the entire domestic music circle still regards him as the number one promoter in the pop music scene! It is rumored in the industry that the total sales of various albums produced by him have already exceeded 100 million copies!

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 a checkbook and asked him to help review his works or albums, and some people even directly wrote a thousand words of 300,000 Runge and asked him to write a review, but the old man never spoke out easily.

Now, however, he has published a directly signed article in the Artist Weekly, praising a newcomer's first album!

Although he is not directly responsible for this matter, Zheng Changsheng can know no matter how unfamiliar he is, just with his company's status and connections in the industry, and with these people in the company's publicity and distribution department, it is impossible to invite this old man out of the mountain no matter what!

So, people are just optimistic and like this album!

Zheng Changsheng held the newspaper in his hand, hurriedly glanced at the contents, understood a general idea, and couldn't help but look up at Zhao Meifeng, "Huo! This old man is really ...... This page looks like it must have two or three thousand words, right? That's six or seven hundred thousand!"

Zhao Meifeng nodded and said, "I was shocked when I saw it just now, I really didn't expect the old man to be so fond of it! Uh, there should be a newspaper on the side of the Propaganda and Distribution Department, right? Xiao Wang should also have it in his hand, didn't you see it before?"

As soon as she said this, Liu Zhongxin and Yang Fan of the Propaganda and Development Department were suddenly a little embarrassed.

But at this time, Zheng Changsheng waved his hand and said nonchalantly: "I don't blame them for this, everyone knows that I have a low level of education and don't like to read newspapers, so slowly they won't send them to me! No, a few days ago, Lao Liu asked Xiao Wang to give me a newspaper and let me read a review, and I just swept my eyes and threw it aside......! To be honest, everyone knows that they are just lip to lip service, and they know that they are more than the average person, but how many people who really spend money to buy records only buy them after reading their reviews?"

Zheng Changsheng was just commenting casually, but as he spoke, he slowly stopped, and then frowned tightly, as if he had thought of something difficult.

At this time, Zhao Meifeng continued: "That's right, in addition to influencing people in the industry, the music critics do have no influence on fans, but they can't be completely denied, there are still many people in the critics who have a fairly accurate grasp of the market trend." For example, this retired old man, I have read this review carefully several times, and I have to admit that when I was working on this album with Liao Liao, I was really blind, and I didn't see that the songs, including "Persistence" and "Wild Flowers", would be so popular! But fortunately, I finally didn't stop Liao Liao......"

She babbled and talked, and she didn't know whether she was blaming herself or showing off her achievements, but she was not allowed to continue chattering, Zheng Changsheng suddenly raised his hand and interrupted her, "Stop, stop, Meifeng, you stop first, and when you turn back, you have kung fu to make you self-examine! I, I seem to ...... Caught a little bit of something......"

As he spoke, his eyes suddenly lit up, and then he looked up at Liu Zhongxin and said, "Lao Liu, you and Yang Fan and the two of you will immediately go and find out all the music reviews in newspapers and magazines related to this album in the last two weeks, that is, after Liao Liao's record was released!"

Liu Zhongxin and Yang Fan glanced at each other when they heard this, turned around and walked out.

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

Magazines and magazines are in one stack, newspapers and newspapers are in one stack. Obviously, these things have been sorted out a long time ago, and they are even turned to the pages where they appear in the comments.

Zheng Changsheng picked it up and flipped through it one by one. Maybe Liao Liao's status in the rivers and lakes is not enough for people to write comments to criticize, so almost all of these comments are vigorously praising the album "Liao Liao", some are praising Liao Liao's singing skills, some are praising the return of folk songs, praising "My Hometown of Love", some people are shouting for light rock, almost about "Persistence", "Wild Flowers", and "Cheers, Friend" The three songs are praised to the sky, of course, there are also people who are trying their best to praise "Unfinished Love" Chinese style, I think this is the ultimate direction of Chinese music!

Of course, there are also a few songs such as "That Summer", but there are not many of them.

Zheng Changsheng hurriedly flipped through it, and after reading about twenty copies, he put everything down, looked up and said to everyone: "Xiao Wang, Meifeng, Lao Liu, Yang Fan...... You all come, one by one, and give me a categorization of these articles, I want to know, how many copies there are, and what they are praising in the end, and how many they are...... Let's go!"

brushed it, the boss said a word, and everyone was arrested.

About twenty minutes later, the secretary Xiao Wang collected everyone's data, and then merged it, and after completing this statistics, he took the initiative to report to Zheng Changsheng, who was standing by the window and looking out: "Mr. Zheng, the results are out, there are a total of 43 reviews, all praised, 16 are focused on praising the quality of the entire album, saying that it is a rare masterpiece in recent years, of which 7 focus on praising Liao Liao's singing skills." In addition, there are a total of 27 single reviews, including 8 articles of "Persistence", 6 articles of "My Hometown of Love", 5 articles of "Wild Flowers", 4 articles of "Unfinished Love", 3 articles of "Cheers, Friends", and 1 article of "That Summer". ”

Zheng Changsheng turned around, looked at Liu Zhongxin with blazing eyes, and asked, "How many articles have you bought?"

The so-called bought, naturally, is an article written by a music critic who has paid for public relations at the company's expense. Liu Zhongxin handled this matter and was naturally familiar with it, and immediately replied: "There are four articles in total." But as you know, there are many famous music critics and professors, although we don't give money, but when we send a trial cD, we will also add a small gift to it. ”

Zheng Changsheng took a slow puff of his cigar and slowly exhaled it.

It's done!

Now that the fog has cleared, many things have probably been understood!

First, there are about 39 music critics, even though the company did not take the money to do public relations, they are still willing to take the initiative to write reviews for the album "Liao Liao", and all of them are positive comments, which shows that this album is very popular with professionals;

Second, judging from 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, and the direct impact of the company's publicity was not as good as the power of word-of-mouth diffusion;

Third, whether it is analyzed from the survey results or summarized from the number of comments made by music critics, it is clear that the real influence of this album lies in "My Hometown of Love", "Persistence", "Wildflowers", "Cheers, Friends", and "Unfinished Love";

Things are obvious to this extent, and if you don't understand what's going on, you can already hang on to the southeast branch.

In a trance, he suddenly recalled that Liao Liao came in with five songs that day, and then scolded her himself, and almost couldn't help but terminate the record directly.

Now that I think about it, I suddenly feel a little scared!

If I hadn't been able to endure this breath at the beginning, I would have scrapped this record directly......

Now look at it, the 400,000 dollars are 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, he must have a celebration party, shouldn't he talk to Liao Liao and ask him to invite that high school student over?

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

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

But when I think about it, my thoughts gradually become smoother.

It's not about taking precautions, in fact, it's been planning for many years, until now, about the future of Liao Liao, about the future of Changsheng Records...... Zheng Changsheng suddenly felt as if he had grasped something!

***

So far, I have written 5,000 words, but I have not finished writing this chapter, and the time is still up! I have to cut these 4,000 words into a chapter and send them out first.

Well, if you can't get enough of it, then vote for more recommendations!
