Chapter 35: A Media-Filled Record Launch (5)

Within half an hour, people left the stage one after another. For the people invited in the plan, Fang Yan packed a food for them to go back. And as an ordinary staff member, they are also the ones who need these foods the most. As for those journalists and colleagues, there is no share. And none of these people left, they were all waiting for the press conference.

When the time for the press conference came, Fang Yan went to report to Chen Tianliao after guiding the reporters to take their seats. Chen Tianliao smiled slightly, and said to the two beauties beside him: "Let's go, let's go over together." ”

Takekawa said, "I won't go." I'm not an employee of this record company. ”

Chen Tianliao smiled slightly, and it was up to her.

Soon, the press conference took place. On the stage sat the three shareholders Chen Tianliao, Huang Yi, and Xu Wenjing, as well as Chen Mei, the guardian's representative, and Daisuke Takahara, who temporarily maintained the company's operations.

Fang Yan first came to the front desk to announce the rules, and reporters from both China and Japan could ask questions, and the questions were limited to 8 in China and 5 in China. Although Chen Tianliao needs to have a good relationship with the Japanese people if he wants to make money in the Japanese country, he is not used to the Japanese people.

It's just that many of the questions asked by Huaguo reporters are not nutritious, and they generally ask Chen Tianliao about his experience, creative feelings, the meaning of the record, etc., and Chen Tianliao also answered them formulaically.

The reporters of the Japanese country are more sharp. The WHK reporter who was the first to ask asked: "The composition level of Liao Jiang's songs is not as good as Liao Jiang's works published in the Wa Kingdom, is this because Liao Jiang's creative level has changed, or is it because such songs are more suitable for China?"

Chen Tianliao smiled slightly, and did not shy away from the small traps in his language: "Of course, such a song is more suitable for Huaguo." Unlike Westerners, the most important thing in Chinese songs is not to see whether you have any skills, but what you want to express. The "poetry and words" mentioned in the "Shangshu" means that the most important thing in the song is to say what is in the heart. At the same time, the beauty of art does not necessarily have to be displayed with gorgeous skills, otherwise, Bai Letian's poetry would not be loved by so many literati in the Wa Kingdom. Therefore, for Chinese listeners, no matter what song it is, as long as it can express an interesting theme and be pleasing to the ear, it will be welcomed. I don't think these thousands of years of tradition need to be transformed according to Western tastes. ”

The reporter of WTV (abbreviated as Waguo TV) then asked: "Liao sauce, you can write such mature songs at such a young age, and the output is so high, and the style is so different, is there a creative team behind it?"

Chen Tianliao smiled: "I also want to have a creative team to share the labor for me, you reporters know a lot of people, why don't you introduce me to a few?" The level doesn't need to be too high, I can't afford to hire someone like me, just be able to complete the tasks I assigned and give me an assistant, the salary is not too high." All the Japanese people laughed.

Asaga Yi Saburo, a reporter from the "Asa Xi Shimbun" newspaper, then asked: "Liao Jiang opened a record company in Huaguo, has he shifted the focus of his work to Huaguo?"

Chen Tianliao shook his head: "I don't have this plan for the time being." Compared with the mature market of the Japanese country, Huaguo is only a country that needs to be rebuilt, and there are still many gaps in the market. Compared with the struggle of strong competitors in mature markets, it is not challenging enough to occupy the blank market. Therefore, at present, I am more inclined to learn from the masters and seniors of the Wa Kingdom and the Wa Kingdom. At the same time, I will also encourage and arrange for our company's artists to learn more from their predecessors, and then combine the respective advantages of the Japanese and Chinese countries to develop the cultural undertakings of our motherland. ”

"Does this mean that Liao Jiang is going to lead the Chinese entertainment industry into the Japanese country?" asked Kaga Kashige, a reporter for Asaki TV who was named next.

"Yes. Chen Tianliao replied without hesitation, "I hope to share the achievements of our Chinese entertainment industry with the Japanese audience, just as the Japanese entertainment industry now shares its own fine products with Huaguo." However, the Chinese entertainment industry is congenitally deficient, and there is a long way to go in the future. Personally, I estimate that in the next fifteen years, if there is sharing, it will be sporadic sharing. And the things shared are mainly based on what the Wa Kingdom can't do, such as large-scale costume dramas, like "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", which cannot be filmed by the Wa Kingdom in terms of geography or manpower, while Huaguo does not need to spend too much cost on TV dramas.

"Of course, what I hope more is the cooperation between China and the Japanese state. This space is larger. For example, "Journey to the West", which has just been filmed by Huaguo, although it is very well filmed in terms of the actors' performances, many of the filming techniques in it are very backward, and the overall concept is not far from modern TV dramas. If there were a counterpart from the Japanese country, it should not be like this. The same is true in the field of music, we have made a lot of efforts to revive national music, but there is still a big gap between the efforts to restore ancient music and the Japanese counterparts. If we can cooperate in this regard, it will be beneficial to both parties. The long history, abundant human resources and historical natural landscapes of China can also be used by the artists of the Wa Kingdom, so that the artists of the Wa Kingdom can create better works. This will be of great benefit to both China and Japan. ”

Although the questions of the Japanese media have laid many traps for Chen Tianliao, Chen Tianliao has crushed them one by one with the experience of his previous life. The interview ended successfully.

After the press conference, Chen Tianliao accepted an interview with CCTV as scheduled. Then he also drew a portrait of Liu Yu. Like the office painting, Chen Tianliao used freehand techniques to complete this portrait. In the painting, a yellow leaf and several withered grasses outline the autumn scene, and a woman sits on a stone bench, her posture is very leisurely. But her head was tilted to one side, as if listening to something, and her expression seemed rather focused. The slightly frowning brows, the pursed lips, and the hand holding the handkerchief vigorously all show her concentration, and even if she is casual, she maintains an elegant demeanor, which fully shows the refined style of the character under the autumn light and shadow. When Liu Yu saw this painting, he was immediately captured by this painting.

"Thank you for painting this picture for me!" Liu Yu was so happy that the speed of his speech became much faster, "Thank you so much! I believe that there is such a genius in this world, and there is really such a prodigy!"

Chen Tianliao said with a smile: "Thank you Aunt Liu for your compliment!"

Liu Yu said: "No thanks. By the way, Xiao Liao, you made a mistake this time. ”

Chen Tianliao was stunned: "No, what is the mistake?"

Liu Yu said: "It was just that without the approval of the relevant departments, a press conference was held for foreign media to ask questions. This is a violation of the foreign affairs system. ”

Chen Tianliao let out an "ah". In later generations, he held many such press conferences, and he did not need to report to foreign journalists. But I didn't expect that the current era is different, the degree of openness is different, and the attitude towards foreign journalists is also different. But he didn't worry, Liu Yu dared to talk about this problem at this time, obviously there was no problem.

Sure enough, Liu Yu said: "I have a relative who happens to be from a relevant department, so I called him first to report." We've seen all the interviews and events you've attended in the country, and we don't think there's anything wrong with it. I didn't expect you to do even better than you imagined. ”

Chen Tianliao hurriedly thanked him: "Thank you so much Aunt Liu for your help." If you need our company's support in the future, we will be on call!"

Liu Yu smiled and raised the painting in his hand and said, "You're welcome." Just a small favor for you. That's it, I can't offset my love for this painting you sent!"

After Chen Tianliao sent Liu Yu away, the one-day record launch ceremony ended. The rest is up to marketing.

In terms of marketing, Chen Tianliao put up a large number of posters in several central cities, especially on the walls of the campus. Anyway, there is no such thing as chengguan in this era, and it is not pasted or pasted. In addition, he also sent cassettes to many primary and secondary school radio stations for free, and at the same time, he also used Liu Yu's relationship with the Central Television Station to get in touch with the Central Television Station, and spent 100,000 yuan to advertise in the literary and artistic programs of the Central Television Station. That is, the power of TV advertising has not yet been shown in this era, and the public-owned enterprises that account for the mainstream of society are still keen on production and sales in the planned economic system, and their market awareness is relatively weak, which makes Chen Tianliao use so little money to advertise on such a big platform as the central television station.

With the broadcast of Chen Tianliao's interview and the promotion of advertising, the cassette tape quickly became popular in major cities, and then spread to small and medium-sized cities and rural areas. In the first month, more than 1.5 million cartridges were sold, and the trend continues to rise. Of course, the majority of the revenue is accounted for by the distribution channel - no way, the waist of the monopolist is so hard. After deducting production costs, publicity, advertising, taxes and other expenses, Chen Tianliao only made a profit of tens of thousands of yuan. It's just that the record market is optimistic, and it is estimated that there will be a profit of more than 200,000. It's a small profit.

Next, before Liu Xia's record was released, Chen Tianliao tried to send Liu Xia to a theatrical evening held by Central TV. At the party, Liu Xia sang a song "Fate Is Not a Wheel", which amazed everyone.

Speaking of the song "Fate Is Not a Wheel", in another time and space is the theme song of "Woman and Well" (the first part is "Fence, Woman and Dog", and the third part is "Ancient Boat, Woman and Net") in the famous "Rural Trilogy" ("Women's Destiny Trilogy"), composed by Xu Peidong, the mainstay of "Northwest Wind", and composed by the famous lyricist Zhang Qu. It was an underrated song in a previous life. At the time of its appearance, the "Northwest Wind", which once dominated the Chinese music scene, had just ebbed, and the people instinctively developed aesthetic fatigue with the Northwest Wind after being brainwashed by a round of loess-flavored music. As a "Xiben style" work, it was completely out of time.

But Chen Tianliao likes this song very much. Because in his last life, his beloved lived in the northwest, on the edge of the plateau where the Chinese nation originated.
