Chapter 189
(To be revised)
The talk show was only half an hour long, and ATV edited part of the interview to air. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć The information revealed in just half an hour is enough to satisfy the curiosity of many viewers.
For his peers in the Xiangjiang music scene, the biggest surprise was that Cheng Weiliang revealed in the program that he wanted to transfer those songs that had proven to be very popular! For a while, the Xiangjiang music circle was jumping. Singers, especially rookie female singers, and some small record companies have taken action, even if they can't sign Cheng Weiliang, it's not bad to win the copyright of a few hit songs!
"A beautiful misunderstanding, a wonderful journey?" Zheng Donghan groaned, pressed the remote control, and turned off the TV.
Guan Weilin said with some hesitation, "Does he want to go back to the mainland? Hundreds of thousands of huge sums of money have not been moved, could it be the son of a high-ranking official?"
"Let's not talk about this first, what do you think of what he said in the show?" Zheng Donghan shook his head and asked the other three people in the room in a deep voice.
Without waiting for the others to answer, he paced again and said to himself, "Good fellow, he really has two hands! As soon as this program is broadcast, the people who buy the songs will definitely step through the threshold, and the one with the highest price will get it! The debt of 200,000 yuan will not be able to trap him! No, we must not let him sell all the songs!"
ā¦ā¦
An audio-visual store in Wan Chai.
"Boss, are there any records for Brother Sunglasses to sell?" asked a young man.
"No, he hasn't released a record yet. The boss replied.
"Boss, do you sell Sunglasses' records?" asked a female white-collar worker.
"Not yet, he hasn't released a record yet. ā
"Boss, I want a record of Brother Sunglasses. After a while, another student brother came to the door.
"No, no!" the boss became impatient.
ā¦ā¦
"Boss, where is Cheng Weiliang's record?" I didn't find it!" a timid girl asked politely.
"No! he's not even released a record, where did I get the goods?" Throughout the day, more than 40 customers came to inquire, and the boss couldn't help but go crazy!
"Hey, you're just crazy! Such a big store doesn't even have a record of Brother Sunglasses, it's really bad! Look at the next door to you, people who sell clothes are playing Brother Sunglasses' "The Myth of the Star and Moon", and the shopping mall on the opposite street is also playing "Special Love for Special You", and if you are bad, you are bad, and you are scolding! Mingshu, ignore him, let's go! Let's go back to the school gate to buy it. A spicy girl next to her glared at the boss angrily and scolded, turned her head and grabbed her good friend's hand to leave.
Mingshu was a little hesitant and said hesitantly: "However, the sound quality of those cassettes is not very good, and they are not genuine at first glance." Buy pirated copies, so ...... I'm sorry for the people. ā
"The problem is that there is no genuine version now! Let's go, let's go, and we'll compensate him when the genuine record comes out in the future." ā
"Boss, this is not the way to go. One employee said worriedly.
The owner of the video store scolded angrily, "Damn piracy, you should call the police and arrest all these pirated sellers!"
The employee whispered, "Boss, why don't we do it...... Go get some groceries and sell them privately. Listen, I bought it at the itinerant vendor at the entrance of the community when I came home from work last night. As he spoke, he took out a cassette of music tapes from his pocket and handed it to his boss.
The boss looked at it carefully, the workmanship was rough, and he casually put it into the cassette recorder. The unrestrained melody of the first song "Run" immediately sounded.
āā¦ā¦ Flying with the wind is the power of the direction, chasing thunder and lightning...... Fly with the wind, have dreams to be wings, dare to love, dare to do, and bravely break through......"
Cheng Weiliang's unrestrained and brisk singing, along with the sound of the subwoofer in the store, pierced the night sky, attracting many pedestrians on the street to stop and listen. And the chubby, incomplete boss also kept shaking to the beat of the powerful music, humming along in his half-baked Chinese.
"Boss, spare your life!" the employee shouted for help, although this dear boss loves music, but his singing voice ......
"Boss Ding, do you have any goods? Give me one. ā
"Lao Ding, is this one of those songs sung by Brother Sunglasses? If so, give me one. ā
"Boss, give me one too. My girlfriend loves to listen to it. The people who were attracted to the store by the singing of the super speaker poured around the boss to ask questions, and they were anxious to take out their banknotes and hand them over.
"This, this ......" Boss Ding stood for a long time, looked at the employees, and finally the employees gritted their teeth and said, "Neighbors, in two days." ā
Similar to the embarrassing situation of this video store in Wan Chai, the whole Hong Kong abounds. Since the night before yesterday, Cheng Wai Leung's music cassettes began to flow out in small quantities in the Yau Tsim Mong area, and yesterday they began to spread, and today they are like mercury in the whole of Kowloon and Hong Kong Island. In lively characteristic neighborhoods such as Temple Street and Yaliao Street, some vendors boldly put out the cartridges for sale.
Prices vary from place to place. Where there is enough to sell blocks, some sell blocks, and some of them are even sold to pieces! It's crazy! You know, the price of genuine vinyl records is only between 30 and 50 yuan at this time.
On the third day, all the shops, shops, bars, lounges, and song and dance halls in the streets and alleys of various neighborhoods played Cheng Weiliang's songs overnight, as if they couldn't keep up with the trend without listening to his songs! Some well-worn resident singers in bars and nightclubs even covered Cheng Weiliang's very popular songs on the spot.
There are genuine video stores that are embarrassed, and naturally there are people who are proud.
"Chunming, how much is out of your class today?" asked a young man with a flat head.
"Brother Prawn, fifteen boxes today. A boy replied.
"Xiaolong, where is your class?"
"Ten boxes, Brother Shrimp. ā
"Mine is twenty boxes. ā
"All in all, the whole school sold 320 boxes today. Very good, you will continue to sell in other classes tomorrow, all come on!" Brother Shrimp happily encouraged those students.
In a restaurant, the box is staggered.
"Boss Wang, my place is very popular, I will pick up 10,000 boxes tomorrow, no problem, right?"
"Brother Wang, I have an old friend, give me five thousand goods tonight. ā
"Brother Wang, I have always eaten the most goods, and I will get 20,000 yuan tomorrow, you won't give it, right?" The sales have been too hot in the past two days, and they heard that the inventory in the hands of the supplier Boss Wang is about to run out, and they are afraid that the new goods will not be able to meet for a while, so they have rushed to place orders.
Boss Wang pressed his hand, motioned for everyone to calm down, and said with a smile: "Bosses, everyone will make a fortune! Don't worry, they have goods! The factory is working overtime, and you will definitely not be able to make a fortune!"
After sending away a group of channel partners urging goods, Boss Wang proudly said to a man with a slight limp on his left foot: "Ah Ming, have you seen it? How hot our business is! In less than three days, 10,000 boxes have already been shipped! In another week, a month, 300,000 or even 400,000 boxes will not be a problem!"
"This is only in Xiangjiang, we also have markets in Taiwan and Nanyang. Hehe, Ah Ming, your brother with sunglasses, is quite capable, I have been in this business for so long, and I haven't shipped as fast and as much as this time! Ask him out one day, let's celebrate and celebrate!" Boss Wang patted Ah Ming on the shoulder.
Brother Ming smiled and said, "He is very busy now, and he has given me full authority to act as an agent." ā
Boss Wang suddenly said, "Understand, he's a big star now." ā
ā¦ā¦
At night, the conference room of Polygram Company was still as bright as day, and Zheng Donghan and Guan Weilin and other company management sat in the conference room, and the atmosphere was a little dull.
Zheng Donghan sat on the chair, looked at a box of music tapes in his hand, and after half a ring, broke the silence and said: "Everyone, you have listened to this box of songs, let's talk about your opinions." ā
The director of the distribution department said: "The workmanship is rough, the noise is a bit loud, the sound quality is mediocre, and it is estimated that the market acceptance is not high. ā
"The factory cut corners in production, and the mastering was recorded in the studio in a hurry, which can be seen in many small details, but I would say that his arrangement is quite level, and what is lacking is only a little effort." That's an amazing age!"
Music director Guan Weilin exhaled and said in a deep voice: "No matter how good the workmanship of this box of tape is, whether it is a thousand or ten thousand, in the final analysis, the market is still king! From the beginning of the silence, to today the streets are all over the street! This kind of market heat, should we cry or laugh?"
"Is it possible, we admit defeat and kneel for him after only one day of confrontation? How can a newcomer be so arrogant and not follow the rules? We spend so much money before he is willing to sign for a year? When he is a superstar! I don't agree!" A high-ranking person still insisted on his opinion.
The subordinates expressed their opinions.
Zheng Donghan leaned back on the back of the chair, his eyes drooped, his fingers unconsciously tapped the armrest of the chair, thinking about how to decide.
There is a huge clock on the wall, and the long second hand is "dripping" walking, and the time passes by second.
Just when everyone fell silent again, the door of the conference room was pushed open, and a young man walked in hurriedly, Zheng Donghan opened his eyes and looked at the young man with blazing eyes: "Ah Hui, is there any news?"
"Mr. Zheng, according to the news we bought from the little brother from all over the place, according to incomplete data statistics, it is conservatively estimated that the shipment volume in the past three days is above the box!" replied respectfully from the young man in the distribution department.
There was a gasp in the office.
Zheng Donghan's face turned pale, and he said in a cold voice: "Everyone, do you still need to hesitate? He has an endless treasure trove in his head, such a talented young man, we, the older generation of musicians, have the obligation to help him be more starry!
He looked at Guan Weilin, "Weilin, you come to the door in person and tell him that if you want to be free, we will give it to him! If you want to sign for one year, you can negotiate." I'll talk to him personally!"
"Tonight, Mr. Zheng, will you ......?" someone tried to persuade.
Zheng Donghan sighed and said meaningfully: "There are many dreams at night! Someone from Taiwan has also come." ā
ā¦ā¦
"Mr. Cheng, please think about it again, our company is really sincere. ā
"Brother Sunglasses, give me face, everyone is young, look at my voice, it's really suitable for singing this song. ā
"Brother Liang, I'm a good friend with Big Mouth, why don't you authorize that song to me, the price is negotiable!"
"Mr. Cheng, this is my business card, our Miss Lei is very interested in the song "Later", can you make an appointment to come out and meet below. You can rest assured that you will definitely be satisfied in terms of price. ā
"I took a fancy to your three songs, so simply, I will give you a high price of 50,000 songs, sign this document, and the money will be yours!"
ā¦ā¦
"Let's go, let's go, are you bothered? We haven't eaten yet!" It's getting dark, and some people are still stubbornly not leaving, and the fine mark is already very annoyed.
"Guys, I already know what you mean, I'll think about it! "Since ATV broadcast a talk show yesterday, Cheng Weiliang has received batches of people or companies who have come to ask for songs since this morning.
Some are unknown people who dream of getting a good song and become famous in one fell swoop, and some are singers who are a little famous and want to get a good song to strengthen their status. After the big record companies couldn't get along with him yesterday, they seemed to act in unison and resolutely refused to accept his unreasonable conditions! The small companies wanted to take advantage of the situation and kept coaxing him with good words, and they dared to offer any conditions, but they didn't care whether they would honor the contract or not after signing the contract. For this kind of rhetoric, Cheng Weiliang was silent, let him wear out his mouth, and watch him perform!
"Excuse me, is anyone there?" the two were about to go out to eat, and not long after the last group of people left, someone knocked lightly on the door.
"Who's it? so little eyed, so late to make a fuss-" As if he had eaten explosives, he opened the wooden door with a stomach full of fire, looked up, and swallowed the word "disturbance" back into his stomach.
Guan Weilin was stunned for a moment, but still remained polite, "I'm sorry, I'm here so late, is Mr. Cheng here?"
Fine Biao blushed a little, turned around and shouted, "Brother Liang, someone from Polygram is here!"
ā¦ā¦
Well-known reporters from radio and television stations, as well as major newspapers and entertainment news, all received invitations from PolyGram to attend a press conference held at 3 p.m. in the conference hall of the Mandarin Oriental Hotel.
The media was in an uproar, thinking of the hot topic in recent days, the genius singer Cheng Weiliang, and they speculated that the two must be related!
These days, when Cheng Weiliang is in intensive talks with various record companies, the news media has received the wind and has made follow-up reports in the newspapers. However, when reporters went to various record companies for interviews, each company remained silent, resolutely refusing to disclose the content and progress of the negotiations, only saying that the two sides were still in contact. Media people can only speculate that the negotiations between the two sides have fallen into a stalemate and are not going well.
Just when media personnel and relevant people in the industry were secretly speculating about who this cutting-edge singer would be and on what terms he would agree to join, he didn't expect that in a big brawl in all directions, Polygram would win so quickly!
The media people are quite curious, how did Polygram fight his way out? What conditions did he offer to persuade the sunglasses brother who is said to have been unable to enter the oil and salt? )
