204 The First Goddess

Approaching the end of the year, even though many young people under Jinlong have no concept of the Spring Festival, Zhang Jin still forcibly asked everyone to go home to prepare for the New Year.

In the past few days, Zhang Jin and Chen Shaohua were busy collecting the final payment of several major theaters, after all, they have been struggling for a year, and they must always know the results of this year's harvest?

Just when Zhang Jin was busy with the end of the New Year, a battle was being waged around him in the Taiwan music world.

Let's move forward a little, and the cause of the whole incident starts with Zhang Jin's debut album "The First Time".

At the end of last year, Meng Tingwei's two concerts fully heated up Jinlong's status in the Taiwan music scene, and Jinlong took advantage of Zhang Jin's "Prince of Love Songs" craze to quickly release Zhang Jin's first album "The First Time" on January 1 of the New Year.

Under the strong call of the "Prince of Love Songs", the album sold 8,000 copies on the day of its release, shocking the entire Taiwan music scene.

You must know that Zhang Jin is a complete newcomer in the music industry, selling 8,000 records on the first day, which is a trend of breaking 70,000 sales in the first week!

"A song becomes a god" should not be dragged like this.

But then sales began to decline, and by the end of the week, only 40,000 copies had been sold.

At this time, several major record companies in Taiwan were happy.

The sales manager of UFO records breathed a long sigh of relief and said to the media: "Zhang Jin's sales on the first day of this album really surprised us, originally we expected the sales of this album to exceed 80,000 copies in the first week, but as a result, there were only 40,000 copies. ”

"You may not know it, but there's a big problem with this album, and it's because of this problem that sales haven't gone up."

The reporters hurriedly asked, "What's the problem?" ”

The sales manager of UFO sneered: "It's very simple, most people who go to buy this album go for the 'Prince of Love Songs', but after buying it, they find out that they have been fooled, because only the six songs on the A side of this album are sung by Zhang Jin." Side B...... Hehe, it's a hodgepodge! ”

"Fans are the singer's food and clothing, you deceived the fans who supported you, it's hell that sales can go up!"

There is a reason why UFO Records is so bombarded Jinlong, because in June last year, UFO Records was ready to sign Zhang Yusheng, who made a sensation with "My Future Is Not a Dream", and the negotiations were quite smooth, but there were some disagreements on small details.

Zhang Yu resolutely asked to sign the "six friends" together, otherwise he would not join UFO Records.

UFO records are also tough, and we value you. It's not your combination, and if we don't say yes, the other record companies won't either.

Who made UFO the second largest record company in Taiwan after Rolling Stone, people have this confidence!

The two sides have pulled the skin three times, Zhang Yu has to sign a contract together, and in the end, the flying saucer was very speechless, and took cold treatment measures, on the one hand, dragged Zhang Yusheng until he compromised. On the one hand, we began to look for other potential stocks.

But at this time, Jinlong Records came out, and he was stunned to cut off the UFO Records, and directly signed Zhang Yusheng and the "Six Friends" to its subsidiary. and soon prepared an album for Zhang Yusheng.

This time, Jinlong is considered to have a tie with the flying saucer.

Subsequently, UFO Records took a fancy to the Little Tigers, one of the potential stocks, and was ready to sign a contract to train, but I just wanted to send someone over to negotiate. Over there, it broke out that Jinlong signed the Little Tigers.

Nima, the UFO boss was angry at that time!

If it weren't for the identity of the eldest brother and Ding Xiaohui's wrist, the cliff would kill the past and rob Jinlong.

I've never seen such a bully!

Do you say that UFOs can not hate Jinlong?

It's good now. Jinlong's family Zhang Jin's album sales in the first week were only 40,000 sales, even if Zhang Jin is a newcomer, UFO Records can return the favor fiercely!

The one who let you rob Lao Tzu.

Let you be a girl!

You said that you should be a good boss, a lyricist, and a behind-the-scenes promoter, can't you?

If you have to jump out and make an album, do you think you are a professional singer?

Do you think it's good for you to write lyrics and sing well?

Do you think the "Prince of Love Songs" is very good?

How about now? Hit the streets, dumbfounded!

UFO Records gave Jinlong a head shot, and Polygram followed closely behind.

It should be added that the top three in the front desk bend music scene are Rolling Stone, Flying Saucer, and Polygram.

With Meng Tingwei's popularity, Jinlong Records was stunned by the latecomers, exploded Polygram, squeezed out the flying saucer, and became the second eldest of Taiwan Records.

What is the face of the international record label Polygram?

Polygram has long seen that Jinlong is not pleasing to the eye, how can he let go of such a great opportunity.

"A few days ago, I had tea with the boss of UFO and talked about Zhang Jin's album, and several experts from Polygram agreed that if you listen to the A side of the album alone, whether it is the title song "The First Time", or the second title song "Love Because of Love", or the next four songs "Forget Love Water", "Love You for 10,000 Years", "The Girl on the Other Side", "Love Transfer", these six songs are veritable love songs, and even any song can be called the title song, and the popularity is quite high. This is the main reason why the sales volume reached 40,000 in the first week. ”

"If it is not supported by these six songs, from my professional point of view, I have to be glad that this album can sell 10,000 copies, because the B side is not worthy of the name, and the goods are not the right version."

"Let's take a look at what the B side of "The First Time" is, first of all, let me ask you, who is Chen Shaohua?"

A group of reporters stared dryly, who is Chen Shaohua?

I haven't heard of it!

Polygram's publicity director spread his hands: "Look, everyone doesn't know who she is, Zhang Jin is a newcomer in the music industry, he hasn't made a sign yet, he is stunned to load a more unfamiliar female singer in his first album, and this Chen Shaohua also accounts for four songs, including singing "Promise" and "At least there is you" alone, and sang "Knowing Lover" and "Clear My Heart" with Zhang Jin. ”

"Maybe Zhang Jin is also aware of this problem, and soon the famous Hong Kong female singer Anita Mui is on the list, and the two sang two classic songs "Beautiful Myth" and "When Love Is a Thing of the Past", I can responsibly tell everyone that if it were not for Anita Mui's fame, just Zhang Jin and Chen Shaohua, this album would not even sell 40,000 copies!"

The reporters nodded again and again. Polygram's publicity director was right.

Because the reporters just did a questionnaire on the album of "The First Time", more than half of the fans only like to listen to the A side after buying the album, and although the songs on the B side are also very classic, everyone is relatively unfamiliar with Chen Shaohua and is not very interested.

The two major record companies in Taiwan Bend collectively sang the decline of Jinlong, which directly led to the stagnation of the album that was originally slow to sell.

Taking advantage of this time, Big Brother Rolling Stone, who had never joined the battle group, began to exert his strength, and under Li Zongsheng's efforts, Chen Shuhua subverted the previous tender image. For the first time, with the new image of the spokesperson of urban women, the first "Women's Heart" album of the urban women's trilogy was released, and the title songs were "You Drank That Night" and "Don't Say It's a Pity".

Jinlong suffered a credibility crisis, and the two record companies took care of the comparison with Jinlong, but let Rolling Stone Records take advantage of the loophole.

Li Zongsheng's status in the rivers and lakes coupled with Chen Shuhua's heritage, this album sold 10,000 copies in two days after it was launched.

Rolling Stone saw that the market was very good, and then launched Zhou Huajian's second album "I Really Give My Love", and the sales were also very impressive.

The three major record companies in Taiwan took measures respectively and began to suppress Jinlong Records.

Time. Jinlong Records has fallen into an unprecedented difficult situation.

In Jinlong Taiwan Branch, Ding Xiaohui is negotiating with more than a dozen record sales managers in six cities (municipalities directly under the central government) and three cities.

The general agent of Kaohsiung said: "Sister Hui, we really can't help it, and the customers are complaining." It is said that Jinlong's record is deceptive, and they want to listen to the songs of the 'Prince of Love Songs', not the songs of some amateur female singers. ”

Ding Xiaohui glared: "Who does the amateur female singer say?" ”

The general agent of Kaohsiung shrank his neck and stammered: "Just." It's that Chen Shaohua. ”

Ding Xiaohui glanced at the other dozen or so agents, "You think so too?" ”

"Yes, Sister Hui, I knew that the album should be released in two parts. or only accept Zhang Jin's six songs and Anita Mui's two songs, and the sales will definitely sell. Taichung's agent said stubbornly.

"Sister Hui, you sent us 20,000 in one go, and now you can't sell the goods, if it goes on like this, how will you spend the Spring Festival this year."

"Sister Hui, we also tried our best, put "The First Time" in a conspicuous position in the store, and shouted desperately, and only sold a dozen ...... after a day's exhaustion."

"Although Sister Hui, you didn't ask us for money, but who can blame you for not selling, we can't force us to buy and sell, right?"

Ding Xiaohui looked at them coldly, "Okay, if anyone feels that they can't be sold, they will all be brought back to the old lady." ”

"Sister Hui is wise!" The agent in Kaohsiung immediately smiled, patted his fart and said: "The goods have been brought over, look ......"

"Find a company to sell some goods." Ding Xiaohui said.

Several other agents also said that the goods were brought over.

Ding Xiaohui waved her hand, "Go and order, how much you will receive." ”

An hour later, Fang Weikun, the sales manager of Jinlong, knocked on the door and came in, and saw Ding Xiaohui on the phone and was about to leave, Ding Xiaohui hung up the phone and said to him: "Ah Kun, don't go, how many records have been returned?" ”

Fang Weikun took out the receipt and said: "There are 100,000 and 2,000 tapes, 500 CDs, and 2 video tapes. ”

Ding Xiaohui nodded and said, "Well, I know." ”

Fang Weikun said with a somewhat guilty face: "Sister Hui, I'm really sorry, I didn't do a good job this time, I ......"

Ding Xiaohui said with a smile: "You don't have to blame yourself, you don't blame you for this matter, if you really want to blame Zhang Jin, who let him record an album unproperly, and we have to blame our Jinlong for showing its edge in the past six months, and the three major record companies are now starting to target us." ”

"That'...... So what to do, after all, there are so many goods, and it is a small matter that cannot be sold, and the reputation of the key company is small. Fang Weikun scratched his head anxiously, "Why don't we reduce the price and deal with it?" ”

Ding Xiaohui laughed, shook her head after laughing and said: "Not only will we not reduce the price, but we will also increase the price, the tape will be increased by five yuan, the CD will be increased by fifteen yuan, and the two global limited edition MV tapes will be directly quoted at 20,000 yuan!" ”

Fang Weikun's eyes were wide and round, and he plucked out his ears vigorously, "I heard you right, you have to raise the price!" ”

"Of course!" Ding Xiaohui said: "You don't have to worry about this matter, help me call Li Minghui in." ”

Fang Weikun was puzzled and retired.

In the early morning, Li Minghui, manager of the Propaganda Department, knocked on the door and came in. "Sister Hui, you have something to do with me."

"Hmm." Ding Xiaohui said while writing: "I don't care how much money you spend, no matter what means you use, within three days, I want the whole Taiwan to know who Chen Shaohua is." ”

"Huh?" Li Minghui was stunned when he heard this.

"Ahh Ding Xiaohui frowned, "Haven't you seen it yet, it's not that the quality of our records is not good now, but that everyone doesn't know who Chen Shaohua is, if everyone knows who she is, this record has the possibility of resurrection." ”

Li Minghui pondered. Indeed, the core of the contradiction of "The First Time" lies here.

Because Zhang Jin became famous with a song, everyone is looking forward to this album, but in fact, this album is the product of Zhang Jin's ticket, and he didn't take it seriously at all, and the recognition of Chen Shaohua by Taiwanese is too low, which makes many people who buy the album feel that the goods are not the right version.

The three major record companies fanned the flames again, and several general agents immediately couldn't bear the pressure to return the goods.

After knowing the problem, Li Minghui also had a preliminary countermeasure. "Okay, I'll handle it right away!"

"By the way, Zhang Jin just said on the phone that Chen Shaohua's image is a goddess." First Goddess'. Ding Xiaohui said.

"Roger!" Li Minghui's eyes lit up, and his propaganda ideas became clearer.

In the afternoon of the same day, Li Minghui invited reporters from several major newspapers to hold a press conference. Li Minghui briefly introduced Chen Shaohua's identity.

Only then did the media know that Chen Shaohua was the famous female boss of "Jin Weekly".

However, even if you know that she is a female boss, what's the use, you just know that she is versatile.

Then reporters scrambled to ask questions, and the three major record companies were bullied to the head. Doesn't Jinlong have some countermeasures?

Li Minghui spread his hands and said: "You don't know who Chen Shaohua is, I'll tell you now, this is our countermeasure." ”

, it's just a female boss who has hair, what about your Jinlong's previous skills!

After the press conference, the media discussed, and since Jinlong has given up on himself, let's just continue to sing down.

But after several major newspapers finished writing the press release, a reporter named Shangguan Xilun turned on the TV and found that China Television was playing the MV of "The First Time".

Since the MV of "The First Time" made its stunning debut at Meng Tingwei's concert, it can be said that it has been talked about by fans and media.

Zhang Jin's excellent singing skills and heart-pounding short film scripts make many boys and girls obsessed.

The plot of Zhang Jin in the MV short film who is honest and stupid, and is chased by the eccentric, naughty and cute heroine, is still hovering in everyone's minds, and the heroine in the film is exceptionally pure and beautiful, which can be called the dream lover in the minds of many boys.

Shangguan Xiren still remembered that at that time, he and several peers praised this heroine, and they were also jealous of Jinlong's beauties, not only signed a contract with Li Jiaxin, but also Zhang Min's sexy goddess, Zhou Haimei, etc., and now the female protagonists in the MV short film are not worse than them at all.

After the concert, a reporter also asked Zhang Jin about this, but Zhang Jin just smiled slightly and did not reply.

After the MV is played, the subtitles start to come out.

Lyrics: Zhang Jin.

Composer: Zhang Jin.

Singing: Zhang Jin.

Script: Zhang Jin.

Photo: Shen Yue.

Actors: Zhang Jin, Chen Shaohua.

Wait, Shangguan Xilun's eyes immediately widened, "Was there Chen Shaohua just now?" Why is Chen Shaohua's name so familiar? ”

Shangguan Xilun looked down at the submission, and then patted his head and said: "It turns out that the dream lover in the MV is called Chen Shaohua, haha, a big discovery, an absolute big discovery!" ”

At the same time, a blessing song was being played on the Taiwan traffic radio station.

"Hello everyone, I'm DJ Gengxin tonight, Lu Xiangyu from Taipei wants to order "The First Time" for his girlfriend, I wish her a happy birthday, before sending my blessings, I must remind the audience that the MV short film of this song is also extremely good-looking, and it made a stunning appearance in Meng Tingwei's concert, in which Zhang Jin and Chen Shaohua performed a classic relationship, okay, now please listen to the song......"

A group of drivers who drove at night were stunned when they heard this.

Who is Chen Shaohua, the name is so familiar.

Ah, Zhang Jin's album B side seems to have her two title songs.

Ouch, she is the heroine of the MV of "The First Time"!

Good boy!

And Shangguan Xilun, who realized it later, also contacted Li Minghui as soon as possible, and Li Minghui was very generous to give him a small news.

So the next day, the article "Chen Shaohua was originally the first goddess" met with the general public.

The promotion rate of newspapers and radio stations is extremely extensive, and China Television announced the next day that it had purchased all the MVs of the "First Time" album, which will be played one by one in the next few days.

This time, the audience was blessed, because they found that there was not only the beautiful figure of the "first goddess" on the B side of "The First Time", but also the affectionate duet between the goddess and the prince of love songs.

Sure enough, sight + hearing is more contagious.

After three days of indiscriminate bombardment, the name of the "first goddess" Chen Shaohua has been launched in various parts of Taiwan.

Previously, they thought that the album "First Time" was a trick, and they thought that the "Prince of Love Songs" had deceived their feelings.

Now I finally understand that this album contains so much content.

It turns out that "Promise" and "At Least You" are sung by goddesses!

If "The First Time" was originally a selling point of "Prince of Love Songs", now it has been upgraded to a comprehensive selling point of "Prince of Love Songs" + "Goddess of the First Time".

Coupled with the joining of Hong Kong platinum female singer Anita Mui, the three layers of appeal were superimposed, which directly made fans fall into madness.

What are you waiting for, buy, buy, buy!

But what made all the fans collapse was that when they walked into various video stores to buy "The First Time", they were told that it was out of stock! (To be continued......)
