In China, all music-related undertakings cannot be separated from one organization, and that is the Chinese Music Association, a behemoth with 170,000 members, including most of the record company owners, singers, performers, composers, lyricists, conductors, and other related practitioners.

For singers, the measurement of the status of the industry mainly depends on two aspects, one is naturally record sales, even a newcomer, as long as he can sing a gold record with millions of sales, he will instantly become an upstart in the entire pop music scene, and the second is naturally the position of the music authority list and award evaluation.

The most credible music authority list is undoubtedly the Chinese pop gold song list and the Chinese new song list issued by the Chinese Music Association itself.

The time stipulated for the Huaguo New Song Chart is very strict, only from the week before the release of the record to the first month of the release of the record, as soon as the time is up, it can only be directly off the list, and there will be no situation where a song dominates the chart for a long time, so that more new songs can be as prominent as possible.

After the new songs are off the list, the excellent songs will naturally be transferred to the pop gold song list, and this list is valid for a long time, mainly by year.

With the development of the times, several of the most outstanding music websites in China have reached a cooperation agreement with the music association, and the number of website broadcasts has also been included in the statistical category, but the impact is still low.

Hitting the list is naturally inseparable from publicity, and the aroma of wine is also afraid of deep alleys, and without a promotional record, it is naturally difficult to rush to the new song list, and Wei Tingyu's promotion of "In My Singing" is mainly placed on the singer Ming Qingxue.

The propaganda position is mainly the Internet, which is also the best way to break the situation in the absence of connections and money.

This time, Wei Tingyu didn't post his own publicity, because he was too busy, he contacted a well-known water army team on the Internet to hype up the popularity of the "music elf" Ming Qingxue. As long as "In My Singing" starts to be promoted, it will be directly bombarded on major websites and communities on the Internet, arousing more people's interest.

Once he started a business, he spent 250,000 yuan on the recording of "In My Song", 300,000 yuan was directly paid for the distribution, half of the 240,000 yuan was delivered for the recording process, and it cost another 100,000 yuan to hire a water army team this time, in addition to some posters, packaging, and related expenses, which are not very small.

This is still the current water army team in a relatively primitive stage, and the hype method is still based on the most primitive propaganda method, so there is no time for the charge to take off, and 100,000 yuan is still a price that Wei Tingyu can afford.

This time, the physical record of "In My Singing" is priced at 25 yuan each, which is a relatively cheap and affordable price. Comes with a set of exquisite promotional posters, the photo is an artistic photo taken by Ming Qingxue on her 17th birthday in a high-end photo studio, a high-resolution photo standing in the sea of purple flowers and looking up at the sky, just like a real fairy, flawless.

Generally speaking, every album has a title song, and most of them are saliva songs of average level, the kind of songs that no one else will sing except die-hard fans in a few years. However, Wei Tingyu's "In My Singing" has ten classics stuffed into it in one breath, and none of them is an ordinary work, so it is difficult to focus on it when hitting the list.

In the end, in addition to the song of the same name of the "In My Song" album, the other nine songs will be less promotional resources, and it depends on the audience's liking of which song is more popular.

After determining the release period of the record, Wei Tingyu went to the Shanghai Music Association to report, everything was ready, and he only needed to wait for the chart to start.

It's a pity that the MV was not recorded in this record release, mainly because of two considerations, the first is that Wei Tingyu wants to save costs, even if he only records the MV of one song, if he wants to have a passable quality, from director to actor to production, not only does it take a long time, but the cost is at least more than 300,000 yuan, although Wei Tingyu can afford it, but it is not necessary.

Second, Wei Tingyu is a person who wants to be a director in the future, Ming Qingxue's first MV, he still hopes to direct it himself, and he can also practice by the way, if the record is really a big hit, it is okay to make up the MV in the future, and it can also promote the sales of the record again.

Wei Tingyu was busy for three whole days, and finally prepared most of the trivial things before the release of the record, which was very tiring and fulfilling.

So far, Wei Tingyu has invested more than one million Chinese yuan for this record, but fortunately, the manuscript fee of the origin group has been received, otherwise Qi Keshan's check alone is not enough.

But think about it, if "In My Singing" can sell to the level of a gold record, it will be one million sales, 25 million sales, deducting distribution, production and taxes, at least 15 million or more, it is definitely a very profitable business.

In fact, with the advent of the new century, record sales are declining, and except for singers and singers, few newcomers' albums can enter the ranks of gold records.

"It's rare to see you during the day, and everything is done?" When Wei Tingyu returned to the Yu Garden Villa, Zhou Jinyu was wearing cool clothes and sunglasses lying on the edge of the bath, very relaxed.

In the past few days, I have relied on the driver and special car sent by Zhou Jinyu, which is much more convenient, and Wei Tingyu is also very grateful for this: "Yes, it's finally over, I've done what I can, and the next thing is to hit the new song chart and release the record!"

"I'm going to Yangcheng tomorrow to deal with some business, do you want to go with me? I can contact Penguin Music Network to talk to you. Zhou Jinyu asked.

Huaguo has not experienced the so-called reform and opening up, and naturally there is no special economic zone, the former Shenzhen, is still just a small fishing village, the economic center in the south of China, in addition to the port city is naturally Yangcheng.

And the Penguin company in this life is headquartered in Yangcheng.

"That's great!" Wei Tingyu naturally will not refuse Zhou Gongzi's kindness, being able to have one more publicity channel is a very big boost to record sales, especially when "In My Singing" is congenitally insufficient and the exposure rate is not high.

"Let's bring Ming Qingxue with you! At least let them do an interview with Qingxue, I still have this face. Zhou Jinyu raised her eyebrows.

"Okay, I'll inform her of ......" Wei Tingyu nodded: "The agent I found for Qingxue has just arrived in Huhai, and this should be at Qingxue's residence." ”

With her debut imminent, Ming Qingxue's related affairs will definitely increase immediately, and Wei Tingyu can't follow Ming Qingxue as a nanny every day, so it is urgent to find her an agent.

Wei Tingyu could consider very few candidates, and he almost immediately thought of the most suitable candidate - Yuan Shanshan, the music instructor of Los Angeles No. 1 High School.
