Chapter 296 The status of the family is low, and there is a style when you go out
After getting off the plane from Kai Tak Airport.
The streets and alleys of Hong Kong are full of new songs from "Seems to Be an Old Man" and "Girls' Magazine".
And the fame of Anita Mui, Chen Huixian and others has begun to rise rapidly and become superstars in the music world.
"Anita Mui sold 3 platinum!"
""Girl's Magazine" is so powerful, it has already sold 2 platinums!"
"Lin Yilian, the third place in Super Girl, has never released a record, I heard that someone is willing to pay a price of 1 million Hong Kong dollars to poach her!"
On the street, many people talk about the pop music market, and they can't help but show extreme surprise to Anita Mui and the girl magazine group.
In fact, Anita Mui's first record sold for 3 platinum, which will not surprise Zhang Shaojie at all.
The historical record "Seems to Be an Old Man" even sold 8 platinum, setting a record for record sales in the local market in Hong Kong.
And now, the eponymous "Seems to Be an Old Man" only sold for 3 platinum, but it is pediatrics.
And "Girl's Magazine", which itself is the strength of a platinum record, coupled with Chen Huixian's news exposure on "Super Girl", makes "Girl's Magazine" have the role of publicity and extra points, and sells double platinum, in fact, it is an underestimation of the classicism of this record.
You must know that the 80s was the golden decade of the world's record industry, and during this period, the Hong Kong record industry was basically full of platinum, double platinum, triple platinum, and quadruple platinum records.
In 82, the scale of Hong Kong's record industry has exceeded 300 million Hong Kong dollars, and by the peak of 89, the Hong Kong record industry market will reach 2.5 billion Hong Kong dollars.
After that, in the 90s, the era of the Four Heavenly Kings was actually just an afterglow, and the overall market size continued to decline. In the 21st century, the market size of Hong Kong's record industry has fallen from HK$700 million at the end of the 90s to less than 100 million.
In the 80s, the record did not sell 200,000 copies, so dare to call yourself the king and queen?
But by 2011, even if it sells 20,000 records, it can become an existence that is looked up to.
Of course, the 82-year-old triple platinum is also a rookie myth that shocked the music world!
When Zhang Shaojie returned home, Anita Mui was proud and said: "Now "It Seems to Be an Old Man" has sold 170,000 copies, which is 3 platinum!" Shaojie, you have made great achievements in writing songs, how can I praise you? ”
"Kiss a little mouth, and you're done!" Zhang Shaojie said with his eyes closed.
"Kiss your big-headed ghost!" Anita Mui was angry in a blink of an eye, "Good things don't go out, bad things go thousands of miles, look at your lace news in the United States"
Anita Mui took out a copy of Playboy magazine, and a photo in it was the scene of Zhang Shaojie holding Madonna and watching a movie.
"Wronged," Zhang Shaojie shouted injustice.
"See how you explain it"
"You know, Madonna is the advertising spokesperson of Xiaobawang, so inviting her to watch a movie is a business matter!"
"See your big-headed ghost's business! You have two choices – kneeling on a washboard or kneeling on a washboard. You can choose between these two options."
"Is there a choice for this, both options are the same"
"You still say"
"Okay, I can't kneel on the washboard?" Zhang Shaojie gritted his teeth and said.
At night.
Zhang Shaojie knelt on the washboard for two hours and wrote a 3,000-word letter of repentance.
After Anita Mui looked at the confession book with satisfaction, she said to Lin Qingxia and Teresa Teng: "Sister Deng, Sister Lin, you say, can you bypass him?" ”
"Forget it, he's pitiful enough, let him rest early!" Lin Qingxia said a little distressed.
Zhang Shaojie looked at her gratefully.
Lin Qingxia suddenly added: "However, it is not okay to let him rest so easily. This letter of repentance is for Ame. I also have to write two different copies, one for me and one for Lijun. When everyone is satisfied, they will bypass you! ”
"Ah" Zhang Shaojie's intestines were blue.
Crazy about hate!
Hate yourself for being seduced by Madonna so easily
Now it's good that the three tigresses in the family are in trouble.
Bitter also
—————————— the next day, in the morning.
Didn't have breakfast and went hungry to work.
Zhang Shaojie comforted himself, the reason why a man is a man is because he is willing to tolerate the tigress.
Although, the status at home is getting lower and lower.
However, Zhang Shaoming came out of the door and was still the number one person in the company.
"Hello boss!"
"Good morning, boss!"
When Zhang Shaojie came to ATV, the greetings fully satisfied his vanity.
Finally, I arrived at the office of Lily Music.
Seeing Zhou Liang Shuyi, who was reading the report, Zhang Shaojie stepped forward to greet him.
"This is the market report of the two albums of "Seems to Be an Old Man" and "Girl Magazine"!" Zhou Liang Shuyi explained.
In the 80s, the record industry in Hong Kong and Taiwan was very hot, which is the consensus of the entire industry.
Otherwise, a TV giant like TVB would not have the whimsical idea to set up Huaxing Records, hold a rookie singing contest, and enter the record industry.
Asia Television held "Super Girl" and established Lily Music, which is strategically imitating TVB. It's just that Zhang Shaojie had a foresight and made full use of future creativity and planning, making the development of Li Music far surpass Huaxing Records!
Due to the momentum of Asia Television, Super Girl programs, and two months of record promotion, the two records of "Seems to Be an Old Man" and "Girls' Generation" have sold very well, and have brought more than 10 million Hong Kong dollars of net profits to Li Music.
The subsidiary of Li Music Company is actually much more nourishing than the parent company Asia Television.
From a salary perspective.
In the past few months, the monthly salary of ordinary employees of Asia Television has only been two or three thousand yuan.
And Lily Music, although the ordinary salary is on par with Asia Television. However, due to the very hot sales of records, in June and July, for two consecutive months, Li Music gave more than 5,000 yuan of red envelopes to employees.
Therefore, the more than 30 employees of Li Music have long been shouting long live.
"I didn't expect records to be so profitable!" Zhang Shaojie expressed surprise.
Zhou Liang Shuyi also smiled: "This is also inseparable from the cultural atmosphere of Hong Kong, Cantonese records are in the ascendant, and the entire Hong Kong cultural atmosphere is more anxious, and pop culture is needed to soothe the soul." Moreover, the penetration rate of record players and tape recorders in Hong Kong is more widespread than that of television. Any household with a radio or record player is a potential consumer of records and tapes. Hong Kong is equivalent to having 5 million potential users, can it not be popular? ”
Zhang Shaojie thought about it for a while, and then he understood why the record industry was prosperous in this era.
In the 80s, record players and tape recorders became the main household appliances in the home. So, these families are naturally potential consumers of the record industry. As long as these consumers have the habit of listening to music using record players and tape recorders, even if most of the consumers buy pirated copies, there will always be some who will consume genuine records.
In the 21st century, computers, mobile phones and other more advanced electronic products have gradually become the main entertainment tools for ordinary families. At that time, ordinary consumers directly used the Internet, mobile phones and other ways to listen to songs. As for the tapes and CDs, they were all thrown aside. Consumers no longer have the habit of listening to songs on vinyl, CD, and cassette tapes, and at that time, the collapse of the record industry was inevitable.
At the end of the day, consumers listen to music, and that's the same for the ages. As for what channels consumers listen to music and what styles of music they listen to, it is constantly changing with the changes of the times.
If the record company can't understand the changes of the times, or can't adapt to the changes of the times, and keep up with new technologies and channels in a timely manner, then it will definitely be eliminated!
"Well, in that case, let's strike while the iron is hot. Taiwan, Singapore, Japan, and any market that can be explored, give me a big environment to win and make money in the record industry, and it is estimated that it will not end in a year or two. Take advantage of the excellent environment of this market, make more money, and have the ability to deal with those market changes when the industry changes in the future! Zhang Shaojie said.
Zhou Liang Shuyi said with a smile: "In the Hong Kong market, we are fighting locally, and with the publicity of Asia Television, we can naturally be invincible." However, if in other regions, such as Taiwan and Singapore, publicity costs extra money, and if it does not sell well in those markets, it is equivalent to losing money and making money! ”
Zhang Shaojie said: "What's the matter if you lose money and make money, we run singers and bands. As long as the fame of the singer and band is rising, when the next record is released, it will save publicity costs! ”
Zhou Liang Shuyi nodded and said, "Okay, since you said that you want to spend it, I can rely on you." Mr. Huang said before that he would siphon off 5 million profits to subsidize the reporter team for the Sino-British negotiations in Yanjing in September. It is said that due to Britain's victory in Argentina, the Iron Lady Margaret Thatcher wanted to take advantage of this prestige to force Yanjing to make more concessions! This makes this negotiation, which is followed by the media of the whole world, destined to be super big news! ”
Zhang Shaojie was stunned and said: "In September, Margaret Thatcher went to Yanjing? ”
Historically, in September 1982, Thatcher visited Yanjing and met Deng Xiaoping in the Great Hall of the People. Many international media have focused on Yanjing.
Asia Television filmed a video of the Iron Lady falling outside the Great Hall of the People in Yanjing, and with the news of Margaret Thatcher's fall, she is famous at home and abroad. Many world-famous media outlets have bought pictures of Margaret Thatcher accidentally falling from Asia Television.
Having thought of these.
Zhang Shaojie suddenly laughed dumbly, and photographed the moment Margaret Thatcher fell, a matter of pure character and luck.
In this life, I don't know if Asia TV can take shit luck and shoot this exclusive breaking news footage!
