Chapter 241: The Storm Rises
Jianghai is a medium-sized city with a population of less than half a million, and there are not many piano lovers in this city, but there are quite a few.
Last night in People's Square, an ordinary piano brand promotion performance was remembered by people because of a special performance and a special tune. Especially among those piano lovers, the phrase he'sapirate is endowed with magical magic.
Those who saw the performance did their best to describe it in front of their relatives and friends, and said that the song was rare in heaven and difficult to find on earth, while those who did not see the performance for various reasons were like cat scratches in their hearts, although they were also a little skeptical, but they were more eager to listen to it.
It's a pity that in this era, the Internet has not yet become popular, even if a few rich people's home computers are on the Internet, they are also using a pitiful dial-up to surf the Internet, a speed of a few ks per second, let alone watching online videos, and it takes more than ten seconds to even click on a web page. If the video had been posted on the Internet a few years after broadband had become widespread, it would have caused an immediate sensation.
"Xiaolin, this video, you hurry up and engrave it into a CD, this is the boss's job, move quickly, do it beautifully." Dong Xiaobo, the director of the technical department of the Yafan Celebration, put the two red video tapes on the computer table in front of the technical Xiaolin. Now that DVDs have gradually become popular in families, wedding videos are no longer like before, directly handing over thick tapes to the couple, but engraved into VCD discs, which are both beautiful and easy to preserve.
"Okay, chief, whose wedding is this?" Kobayashi picked up the videotape, expertly stuffed it into the machine, and then turned on the computer and began to grab the video.
"Not a wedding. It's a show, by the way, you should do a good job. The audio is recorded separately and synced well. Dong Xiaobo told Xiaolin two more words, and then walked out of the studio.
That's the kind of work. For Kobayashi, it couldn't be simpler, after grabbing the video on the videotape with a capture card, and then using video production software to match the independent audio and picture, and then tested it.
During the test, Kobayashi was also fascinated by this piano piece and listened to it several times in a row. It wasn't until the mobile phone rang that Dong Touer urged him to deliver the goods, so he hurriedly sent the engraved disc over.
Along the way, Xiao Lin was still muttering, this piano is too good. He didn't know much about this, but he listened to the tune, tsk. It's exciting!
Half a day later, a batch of CDs in simple packaging quietly flowed to the video stores in Jianghai and its nearby counties. With the channels that they have established in this area. Yafan Celebration promoted this song as quickly as possible.
Strictly speaking, of course. This is an illegal publication, except that this version of the plate was shipped in small quantities and did not attract the attention of many people. In addition, most of the DVDs sold in video stores today are D-plates, and no one delves into these things.
The shopkeepers only listened once. I was immediately shocked by this song. Immediately, the vast majority of shop owners chose to replace the track played in front of their store with this domineering he'sapirate. The sound of the piano was full of tension. Coupled with the cheers and shouts at the scene, it immediately attracted a lot of people shopping on the street.
And those piano lovers are even more ecstatic. I was worried that I couldn't find a place to listen to this song, but I didn't expect the disc to come out so soon. They didn't care about the genuine D version, anyway, it was only ten yuan a piece, which was very cheap, and many people only listened to a short paragraph, and then quickly took out the money to buy back the disc.
When Liu Yufan learned the news, he felt a little crying and laughing.
"Sister, it's a bit wrong to do this, hehe, we don't have the right to publish audio and video products." In Jiang Ya's office, Liu Yufan frowned and looked at Jiang Ya with some concern. ..., "It's okay, look at you cowardly, where is the domineering of playing the piano?" Don't worry, we don't have many discs to put out, only a few hundred, and I don't expect to make money from it, mainly to promote you, don't worry, it'll be fine. Jiang Ya said with a smile.
In fact, this practice is also common in those small video stores, and many popular CDs, such as the Spring Festival Gala, will be engraved on the computers in their stores to sell. This practice was later carried forward by computer stores, and almost all system disks were self-engraved, and some masters also marked their own store logos on the CD.
"Oh, that's good, hehe." Liu Yufan said, walked to Jiang Ya's side in a few steps, and gently hugged her waist from behind.
"Sister, I'll go to the attached middle school tomorrow." Liu Yufan rested his chin on her fragrant shoulder and said a little vaguely.
"Well, go ahead, study hard!" Jiang Ya said in a childlike tone, and then gently patted his hand that was clasped around her waist.
"And what if I miss you?" Liu Yufan said with some reluctance.
"I'll come back if I think about it, it's not that I don't remember." Jiang Ya chuckled.
"I think about it every day." Liu Yufan said, and his hands began to make trouble dishonestly again.
"Go, Izumi!" Jiang Ya knocked off the claw that was about to climb upwards and said angrily.
The two of them lingered here, and on the other side, the sales department of the Pearl River Piano Factory was very lively.
Zhao Bao really didn't expect that an ordinary propaganda would have such a huge impact. Seemingly overnight, with the popularity of this he'sapirate, Pearl River Piano suddenly became famous. In the major piano stores in Jianghai, almost every customer who enters the store to choose the piano will first ask: "Do you have a Pearl River piano here?" ”。 Some even became die-hard fans of Liu Yufan, and after entering the store, the piano recommended by the owner was directly ignored, and the piano of Zhujiang was named.
It's gratifying to those guys in the sales department, this day, the average number of calls on their mobile phones asking for goods is no less than dozens. Pianos are large goods, each brand of piano in each store, generally stock no more than three, some only one, in the face of sudden hot sales, those shopkeepers are not prepared at all, they don't know what happened.
"The campaign was so successful!" Zhao Bao thought excitedly, just now, he had received a call from the sales department of the factory, praised him for his publicity activities this time, and gave him a lot of bonuses, which specifically mentioned Liu Yufan, who played he'sapirate, and asked him to continue to have a good relationship with Liu Yufan, and continue to improve the brand influence of Pearl River Piano with his personal influence.
"This Liu Yufan is simply his own lucky star!" Zhao Bao repeated in surprise. The scene from last night's performance kept replaying in his mind at the moment, and as for the disc, when it was just put on the market, he found out, hurried up, and finally grabbed one. Looking at Liu Yufan's performance in the video, Zhao Bao can almost have a hunch that this young man will definitely become popular with this song!
Lao Huang's Huacai Piano Shop, as the only Pearl River piano monopoly in Jianghai City, is also very hot today. In one morning's effort, four pianos were sold, and such sales made him a little dizzy. You know, this is a piano, not a cabbage. Could it be that Liu Yufan really has such a big charm? Just with a tune, people even fall in love with the piano he plays?
Lao Huang is right, this song really made Liu Yufan popular. Overnight, with his exaggerated performance and cool shape, Liu Yufan quickly became an idol in the hearts of Jianghai piano lovers, and his popularity even surpassed that of the piano prince Richard. Clayderman, the live version of the VCD of the concert, was even more terrifying, it was quickly sold out, and those merchants with a keen sense of smell used their own computers to copy it, and finally the amount that flowed into the market exceeded the number released by the Yafan Festival more than ten times. ..., and achieving such a large sales with a hastily made record, which made many record companies embarrassed.
In a small office on the third floor of Beijing Rolling Stone Records Branch, Ji Yun looked at the TV screen in front of him, and the look on his face was a little ugly.
"He's an unpolished diamond, but he's a gold mine!" Ji Yun thought with some regret.
Before, because she was unwilling to accept the share of sales, Ji Yun missed the young man's new song "New Kangding Love Song", and now, she has begun to regret it a little.
That song was quickly incorporated into a new "platter" album by Times Records, and as if under a spell, the album was once again a big hit!
When her supervisor found out about this, he called her into the office and gave her a lecture, which was not serious, but it made her feel very uncomfortable.
Since then, she has been keeping a close eye on the little guy. Years of intuition told her that this little guy would not be a flash in the pan, and there would definitely be new goodies to come out.
Sure enough, not long after, Ji Yun saw this disc.
"I really didn't expect that his really powerful instrument was actually the piano!" Ji Yun's eyes are so poisonous, he can see at a glance that the level of that young man's performance in front of the piano is definitely professional. And he knows how to package very well, the creativity of this song is full of pop elements, and it can be said that it is difficult to think about it.
"This time, I won't let him go again. I must get this song! Ji Yun said to herself a little viciously.
She was a resolute woman, made up her mind, cleaned up briefly, and stepped on the train to Fu'an again.
At the same time, several record companies, including Times Records, saw the video of this song sooner or later. As for the commercial value contained in this song, where will these people not know? At the moment, the performers who are anxious to look at the tune, like Li Yi, who knows the inside story, have already been in the wind and go straight to the goal.
A song he'sapirate once again brought Liu Yufan to the cusp......
