Chapter 214: The Incredible Record (3)
"Mr. Yang, good news!" When Shang Quan saw Yang Jian enter the conference room, he said with a smile on his face.
"To make Uncle Shang so happy, this good news must be very good." Yang Jian smiled and sat down.
Now, it has been a week since Yang Jian's first album "Blooming Life" was released in the form of a soul record. All kinds of good news came one after another, and Yang Jian was basically immune to the good news. The same is true for Shang Quan and Wei Fang. However, today, Shang Quan notified Yang Jian and Wei Fang to hold a meeting, saying that he would announce some good news.
After Wei Fang also sat down, Shang Quan opened a folder and said, "In the past two days, I have received many active contacts from singers, saying that they want to sign up for our Flying Fox Company and become a singer of Flying Fox. Among them, there are mostly second- and third-rate singers, about a dozen. ”
Wei Fang said: "Our Flying Fox is currently taking a high-end route in terms of artist management. Even if there are dozens of second- and third-rate singers to vote, it is not too surprising, after all, we are now one of the two entertainment companies that can produce soul albums. Uncle Shang's good news, it should mean something else, right? ”
"Not bad." Shang Quan nodded, the smile on his face couldn't be hidden, "There is another person who contacted me, I guess you can't think of it?" ”
Yang Jian and Wei Fang glanced at each other, both of them were puzzled, and they really couldn't guess.
"Who is it?" The two asked in unison.
"God of Song, Zhang Xuesong!"
"What! God of Song?! Hearing Shang Quan's answer, both of them couldn't help but be surprised.
Don't blame Yang Jian and Wei Fang for being like this, this answer is really amazing. Any other singer, the two of them have thought of it more or less, but they never thought that it would be Zhang Xuesong. There is no way, one of the two is a post-90s generation and the other is a post-80s generation. I grew up listening to Zhang Xuesong's songs. It can be said that when the two of them remembered, Zhang Xuesong was already famous in China and was known as the god of songs.
Let's just say that Yang Jian, although his achievements are so high now, he has even been named a new generation of singers on the Internet. But deep down, I still have a respect for Zhang Xuesong. This is like the reverence of the ancients for the emperor, and the admiration of young people of their generation for Zhang Xuesong by Yang Jian and Wei Fang has been deeply rooted.
Therefore, when the two heard that Zhang Xuesong was going to come to Flying Fox Company as a contracted singer, it was like the ancients heard that the emperor was going to be a servant in their own house. I was so surprised that I couldn't even accept it.
Of course, after coming back to their senses, the two of them will not be honestly afraid. Yang Jian sat up straight and asked, "Uncle Shang, the conditions he proposed should be unusual, right?" ”
Shang Quan nodded. "That's right. Not only did he ask our company to help him rip all his past albums with Soul Records, but he also hoped that the company could help him produce a top-notch new album within a year. He wants to go one step further on the road of singing! ”
It is indeed not an easy task to make a new album that satisfies the god of songs, but Yang Jian still did not hesitate, and his starry eyes lit up and said: "Uncle Shang, sign him!" ”
signed the god of song Zhang Xuesong, even if Zhang Xuesong's conditions were very high. Even if Zhang Xuesong has a high degree of freedom after entering the company, it is for Flying Fox. It is also a very meaningful thing. Because, just by virtue of the name Zhang Xuesong, it is enough to make Flying Fox Company among the first-class in the field of artist management.
Zhang Xuesong has a huge and solid popularity in the entire Chinese music scene. It can be said that Zhang Xuesong was signed. It's a golden signboard!
It's also incredible that a small soul record can change many things, even the fate of many people.
On the outskirts of Yanjing, in a huge manor.
Ai Hong had just come out of the room where he usually carved. Wash your hands and face aside. Xu Yi, a middle-aged man who was responsible for helping Ai Hong take care of internal and external affairs, was talking about something on the side.
"Young Master Hong, the research on Baixiang Gu has made great progress, and in the future, it is estimated that in less than a week, the antidote should be developed. In addition, I also found out the secrets related to the soul record. The soul record was indeed researched by Yang Jian, and then cooperated with the Wang family and received the support of the state, so it has developed so rapidly now. ”
Xu Yi said this purely to make Ai Hong feel more comfortable listening to it. In fact, he knows that with the subtlety of soul records, even without state support, it can develop rapidly.
Ai Hong washed his face, came to the window, and took a deep breath before saying, "Some time ago, grandpa didn't let me use the power of the family to move Yang Jian, is this because of this?" ”
"It should be." Xu Yi bowed his head slightly.
"Soul Record," Ai Hong said word by word, a cold light flashing in his eyes, "It's really an incredible record, and it actually makes the family avoid it." ”
Ai Hong's performance like this, obviously he still didn't understand it too much in his heart, or he was unwilling to save Yang Jian's life with a record. Although, a week after the release of Soul Records, an album by Yang Jian set a sales record that is equivalent to a myth in the world.
Ai Hong expressed disdain for the horrific sales of Yang Jian's albums, but this sales slapped the record industry and even some people in the music industry in the face.
On the first day, the "Blooming Life" album sold a horrific 10 million copies. Many people believe that this is a ferocious outburst of Yang Jian's popularity and previous crazy publicity. After the outbreak, there will inevitably be a lack of stamina. However, the next day's sales data left everyone speechless.
The next day, 12 million sheets!
This is simply a terrifying, mythical sales figure, you know, on a global scale, those international superstars can sell tens of millions of copies of an album, but that is accumulated over the years and calculated after being released worldwide. And "Blooming Life" is currently only released in Chinese-speaking areas, although there are billions of Chinese in the world, but the proportion of Chinese people buying records is not generally low.
So, this statistic is really staggering.
On the third day, it reached a terrifying fifteen million sheets!
It only began to fall back on the fourth day, but it was not low, and there were also 10 million. And the fifth, sixth, and seventh days all remained at about eight million. In other words, this week, Yang Jian's album sold a total of more than 70 million copies!
Later, according to the investigation, it was learned that the reason why the sales were so terrifying. It is because in addition to those record sellers in China, some record sellers in overseas Chinese areas and even European and American countries have placed a large number of orders for China Records through online channels. There are not a few discerning people in this world, and even many people who didn't sell records originally became record dealers because they saw the business opportunities in Soul Records.
At first glance, this sales volume is incredible, but when you analyze the reasons, you can find that it is inevitable.
First of all, soul records are a monopolistic product; secondly, it is a new thing, which has not been seen before; In the end, the spiritual and spiritual enjoyment it brings almost makes it a necessity of life, just like every family has at least one television. So, there was a huge demand for it in the early days.
Yang Jian and Wang Dong cooperated, requiring that the market of soul records must be handed over to their own albums in the early stage, and they also wanted to take advantage of the huge demand for soul records in the early stage to expand their influence and rapidly increase system points. Of course, his divine singing also has a considerable effect on the promotion of soul records. If you record and release an album of ordinary singers first, with less than one-tenth of the god singing effect, soul records may not be able to sell as hot as they are now.
In short, it's a mutually beneficial thing.
When Ai Hong was thinking about Yang Jian and Soul Records, the matter was also discussed in the moving courtyard in a special area of Yanjing.
This is the Miscellaneous Section.
"Sister Jialan, I actually don't understand. Since Yang Jian is so talented in scientific research, why doesn't the country let him stay in the laboratory to do research, but instead let him be a star outside?"
Since these days, there have been fewer and fewer channels on the Internet that can monitor Yang Jian, and almost all of them have been blocked by Yang Jian's protection system one by one. Guo Dong, a computer master in the miscellaneous affairs department, was ordered by Tang Jialan to dare not confront Yang Jian on the Internet at will, so as not to expose the secrets of the organization, so he has been working less and less recently, and he has time to chat with the beautiful section chief.
Although Tang Jialan was born in the military and looked like an iceberg beauty, she was very willing to explain the orders above to her subordinates.
She frowned slightly, and said, "This matter looks incredible, but it is actually easy to understand after analysis. First of all, the state is out of respect for these special talents. Secondly, Yang Jian's value is not only in scientific research, but also in terms of stars and culture, and he can also make a lot of contributions to the country. ”
Guo Dong said to Tang Jialan that the country respects special talents, and he was not respected much at the beginning. However, I still listened carefully to Tang Jialan.
"A hundred years ago, because of technological and social backwardness, all aspects of the country were invaded by Europe and the United States, and the same is true of culture. At its worst, Chinese culture was almost completely denied and Westernized. Even now, Chinese culture is still in a relatively weak position in the world. In the past ten years, the country has been planning to revive the status of Chinese culture in the prosperous Han and Tang dynasties. It's just that because of various obstructions, it has not had much effect. ”
Therefore, after the Wang family reported the matter related to the soul record a few months ago, several leaders immediately realized that this was a great opportunity for Huaguo to turn over in the cultural battlefield, and gave the green light all the way, allowing Wang Dong of the Wang family to form the current China Record. If Soul Records is the vanguard of this war, then Yang Jian is the leading general of the Vanguard Army. With him, we can almost defeat and win in this war. ”
"This is best proved by the previous International Singer Competition."
"Of course, songs and even music are just the beginning. The country is also always looking for opportunities in other aspects of modern culture, such as literature, film, games, paintings, etc. As soon as you find a gap, you will immediately insert it! ”
Seeing Tang Jialan say that when she said to insert it, her eyes flashed with a hint of essence. Guo Dong couldn't help but feel related, and had strange conjectures about the sexual orientation of this beautiful boss who has always been unapologetic to men
