Chapter 392 Public Welfare Programs
"I couldn't find you yesterday, so I asked Yi Yan to go to Wang De and Yan Ruisha to ask about your situation, you didn't send those two girls home after Liao Nan's birthday party, it was Wang De who said that you met a 'ghost' the night before." Lin Jianguo explained to Du Xinghe why he knew about Du Xinghe's ghost.
"Dizzy, we met a fake ghost, didn't Wang De make it clear to you?" Du Xinghe had no choice but to die, so he took another wet tissue and wiped his head well.
"I know you're meeting a fake ghost, but you met in the ghost building halfway up the mountain in Luoshan, right? That is a very evil gate, my very powerful friend said, that realm passes by at night, you must not stop! Especially on the night of the full moon, you were okay the day before yesterday, not the night of the full moon, if you stopped halfway up the mountain on the night of the full moon, it would be a big trouble! Lin Jianguo reminded Du Xinghe babblingly, as if things were very strict.
Du Xinghe shook his head helplessly, he didn't expect Lin Jianguo to be so superstitious in this kind of pure master, in fact, to put it mildly, the people of this plane are indeed quite taboo about these things. There has been no movement to defeat a qiΔ cow, ghost, snake and god, so that the ghost and god culture of this plane has been preserved in a relatively inherited way, and there are so-called great immortals in various places, and street fortune tellers are not uncommon.
"Don't worry about it, I'm fine. I'm so strong that I can't pretend to be evil. Du Xinghe didn't want to argue with Lin Jianguo about this matter, so he talked about the matter: "How about going to South China last week, do you have any big gains, you won't tell me on the phone." β
"The big harvest is that I talked about a few good newcomers!" Lin Jianguo reminisced about the imperial treatment in South China. said excitedly: "I've asked Chen Hua what he means, and I've screened it again, these people are worthy of you to write a few songs for them, they all have a good foundation, and they also have a bit of background, so it's worth handing over to us." They even deliberately jump to our cloud world! β
"Job-hopping?" Du Xinghe was stunned and said, "Who pays the termination fee?" Do they come out on their own? Even if they paid their own termination fee and terminated the contract with Hongyan, this thing was a bit unauthentic. We have an in-depth cooperative relationship with Hongyan, don't destroy this cooperation because of a few singers, Hongyan don't think that we are digging their walls. β
"No, it won't. You can rest assured of this. I'm so angry with Luo Haichao, there are a few singers who want to get rid of it, but because these singers have backgrounds, they can't get rid of them. I have to lose money to them every year to release an album. Red Rock is happy for us to take them in. β
Du Xinghe was even more dizzy when he heard it. laughed self-deprecatingly: "Luo Haichao treats us as a waste recycling station?" What they don't want to throw at us? β
"Didn't Luo Haichao think you had the magic power to turn waste into treasure?" Lin Jianguohuai smiled and squeezed his eyes, praising the galaxy.
"No matter how magical it is, it can't do it! I hate to turn a big rock into gold! Even if you paint the stone with gold paint, you can't hide the essence of the stone! A singer who is not even looked down upon by Hongyan. How high can this level be! Uncle Lin, we can't do this kind of thing that harms ourselves and others. β
Lin Jianguo persuaded: "I brought back the records of those singers, you listen to it, I think they have a good foundation, and their attitude is okay, I have brushed off all the bad attitudes, I know that you pay the most attention to the attitude of singers." β
"You give me their records, I'll take the time to listen to them later, it's okay to sell their songs, but I still don't agree with this for them to dig up our company, at least this year I don't want to dig too many foreign singers for our company." Du Xinghe said seriously: "This year, the cloud world strives for steady development, mainly to cultivate its own singers, wait for the future to develop, and then look at the addition of foreign singers, this year or don't do these things that may cause trouble for yourself." β
"I understand, let's just follow the established plan, I'll have a good relationship with them first, what if they are going to be popular after you write a song? We'll just dig them up then. β
"They're going to be popular, let's not let Hongyan go, Luo Haichao is not a fool. Uncle Lin, don't keep playing this kind of small abacus, let's develop ourselves in a down-to-earth manner first. Du Xinghe suddenly reminded: "Xu Nuo just came back, she still needs to adjust a while, don't arrange too much work for her, some meaningless activities will be exempted, don't let her participate, she has to concentrate on recording a new album." β
"I know." Lin Jianguo said excitedly: "Last night, Hongyan passed us the sales number of "Little Bird" last month, have you seen it, "Little Bird" was still selling well last month, selling 1.56 million copies!" β
Du Xinghe came to the company early in the morning and saw the sales of "Little Bird" in February, this popular single album, a total of 1.56 million and 272 copies sold in February, since the first release on December 7, it has sold more than 7.25 million copies in three months, the trend is really amazing, and it has brought direct profits of more than 20 million yuan to the cloud world! It was with this money that the cloud world breathed a sigh of relief in the past few months, and quickly entered the take-off period.
Lin Jianguo said expectantly: "I really hope that Xu Nuo's new album can sell so well, and her new album can also reach this number, and she will be able to rise to the throne of the little diva at once!" β
Here, the benchmark for the little diva in the Chinese music scene is the annual sales of 7.5 million CDs, according to the current momentum of "Little Bird", the annual sales are not to mention 7.5 million, and it may even break through the diva's benchmark of 15 million! However, this is an accident, and Lin Jianguo also understands it. So his expectations for Xu Nuo's new album are not so high, if Xu Nuo's new album can break through 750 annual sales, and two consecutive albums meet the standard, then he will be on the throne of the new queen of the Chinese music scene.
Du Xinghe's expectation for Xu Nuo's new album is also an annual sales of 7.5 million copies.
"It's a pity that you didn't attend Zhai Xiaofeng's album press conference yesterday, you didn't see the crowding scene, it's really home! β¦β¦ Syllable! β
Lin Jianguo knocked out a piece of "Dai Lin Pharmacy Bilian" from the cigarette case, lit it and smoked it, in private, he must have smoked "Dai Lin", and while smoking, he described the beautiful scene of yesterday's press conference with Du Xinghe.
Du Xinghe has already seen the entertainment news last night, but when he watches it on TV and on the spot, the audio-visual experience is naturally not the same. Especially the song "Love Jiangshan and Love Beauty More" sung by Fang Yajun, when listened to from TV, the appeal is definitely less than one-tenth of what you listened to live.
Du Xinghe didn't expect Fang Yajun to be so domineering in singing male songs, which provided him with new ideas, if she made a breakthrough in Fang Yajun in the future, she could try an all-male album, which has not been done in the Chinese music scene, and I don't know what miraculous effect it will have.
"According to Hongyan's own statistics last night, "Mandarin Duck Butterfly Dream" was completely sold out! Nearly 50,000 copies were sold in South China! Fu'an has to have 40,000 if it is sold! These two cities alone sold 90,000 copies, which is a big gimmick! β
At this time, they had not yet received the previous day's sales count that came at nine o'clock in the evening. But relying on Hongyan's own statistics. Lin Jianguo is already so cool that he must know that a piece of "Mandarin Duck Butterfly Dream" may bring them a profit of 7 yuan, which is much higher than the profit of 3 yuan a piece of "Little Bird"!
Lin Jianguo no longer has to daydream now. He really dreamed of making a fortune! He couldn't even imagine it. How much benefit will "Mandarin Duck Butterfly Dream" bring them! According to Luo Haichao's conservative estimate made during their dinner last night. "Mandarin Duck Butterfly Dream" will likely break 10 million sales. Breaking 10 million, the income brought to the cloud world is more than 70 million! This money is enough to rent the new site of the Media Building for N years!
Once upon a time, Du Shan had just died. Du Xinghe wants to carry the banner of the cloud world alone, and he still looks down on Du Xinghe, but fortunately, he miraculously made this "Mandarin Duck Butterfly Dream" at that time, and sold it to Hongyan for 100,000 yuan in cash, and the cloud world is barely able to maintain it.
Thinking back to those days now, Lin Jianguo was full of emotion, if he hadn't believed Du Xinghe at that time and quit, how could the cloud world have today's power? It's fate!
In their lives, people will always keep making this or that decision, these decisions may be dizzy at the time, but in the future, these decisions will change the fate of their lives!
Lin Jianguo was very glad that he took this song "Mandarin Duck Butterfly Dream" to sell it to Chen Hua, and he was also glad that Chen Hua bought this song with his eyes, so that "Mandarin Duck Butterfly Dream" is there today, and there is also today's cloud world.
Speaking of which, Lin Jianguo has more feelings for this song "Mandarin Duck Butterfly Dream" than Du Xinghe, Du Xinghe just copied this song from the previous plane. For him, the meaning of this song "Mandarin Duck Butterfly Dream" and songs such as "Little Bird" and "Flower Heart" is the same, they are all classics, and there is no more meaning. There are so many classics in his mind that he has nothing to praise or commemorate such a song.
For Lin Jianguo, this "Mandarin Duck Butterfly Dream" is a song that reversed the fate of the cloud world!
Lin Jianguo also expects Zhai Xiaofeng's "Mandarin Duck Butterfly Dream", which can lay a more solid foundation for the take-off of the cloud world!
β¦β¦
At nine o'clock that night, Du Xinghe and Lin Jianguo were waiting in the office for Hongyan to pass over the number of "Mandarin Duck Butterfly Dream".
At 9:05, there was a "drop" sound in the fax machine, and after the automatic answer, the fax machine began to print out the number jΓΉ!
β¦β¦
YSJ0002 - "Mandarin Duck Butterfly Dream"
Summary of sales in 100 cities
1 March 1993
Total sales in 100 cities: 497558 sheets
β¦β¦
Seeing this number, Lin Jianguo's eyes were about to be spent, and he asked Du Xinghe incredulously: "I'm not mistaken, right?" It's 497,558, right? It's not 49,758, right? β
Du Xinghe was also taken aback when he saw such a number against the sky, and sighed: "How can it be more than 40,000, it is indeed 490,000!" It's almost 500,000, it's too exaggerated! What an exaggeration! β
"Haha! It's sent! It's big! Lin Jianguo was so excited that he wanted to hug Du Xinghe! praised wildly: "You sent "Mandarin Duck Butterfly Dream" to Zhai Xiaofeng, what a wise decision!" Ha ha! We're rich this time! β
"Mandarin Duck Butterfly Dream" earned nearly 3.5 million royalties for Cloud World in one day, how could Lin Jianguo not be excited! This number is double what Luo Haichao estimated at yesterday's celebration banquet! That's a ridiculous number! Lin Jianguo excitedly smoked "Dailin" again.
Du Xinghe also sighed with emotion in his heart, in fact, if Luo Haichao hadn't mentioned yì and transferred "Mandarin Duck Butterfly Dream" to Zhai Xiaofeng, Cloud World might have sent this album to Liao Nan, and the consequences would be really unimaginable!
Thinking back to Liao Nan's dead-faced pretending dog in front of Ning Qiangrose and Ding Dan, Du Xinghe is now discovering more and more the pinnacle of this guy's life. Most likely not in a singing career, but in a comedy career!
Maybe after sending two albums to Liao Nan and making him famous in the entertainment industry, he will turn to be a funny artist or host, so that he can give full play to his expertise, just like Wu Zongxian in the previous plane.
"Uncle Lin, "Mandarin Duck Butterfly Dream" is likely to make us a lot of money, I think that when our company finishes moving, everything will be stable, and we can consider setting up a public welfare department. Giving back to the community"
At the juncture of a great victory in "Mandarin Duck Butterfly Dream". Du Xinghe told Lin Jianguo his thoughts for a period of time.
"I'll raise my hands in favor of this!" To Du Xinghe's surprise, Lin Jianguo was very much in favor of Du Xinghe's idea of throwing money!
"Are you in favor?" Du Xinghe didn't expect that Lin Jianguo, who usually breaks eight-petal flowers for a penny, would be so happy.
"Of course! has earned so much money, if you don't give back to the society, the cloud world will be scolded! Insiders must be looking at us now. We can't give them a chance to hack us. Take the initiative to make public welfare contributions. to enhance the positive image of the cloud world. Establish a high-quality brand positioning for the public, so that in the future, even if it is black, it will be attacked by others. The public will also be on our side. We must spend this money, and we must spend it vigorously, and the more sensational it is, the better! β
Seeing the bright money of "Mandarin Duck Butterfly Dream", Lin Jianguo's tone and handwriting have also become more. The biggest asset of a record company like Cloud World is that it can get the support of the public, and only then will fans buy it.
Using public welfare to maintain the company's image and get more support from fans means that more records can be sold, and the money they make for public welfare may win more effects and benefits than the money they throw out! This kind of profitable and loss-free business, of course, Lin Jianguo has to support it.
Du Xinghe put forward a different opinion, saying: "There is no need to do this kind of thing too high-profile, hype may have the opposite effect." We still do a solid public welfare undertaking, we don't need everyone to know, as long as we know it. β
"What a success! That's not a fool! Lin Jianguo didn't understand Du Xinghe's thoughts, isn't doing public welfare just for others to see? To put it nicely, this is to play an exemplary role and produce a good social impact; To be realistic, this is the image of the company! If you don't show it to others, what are they going to do! How can there be such a selfless enterprise in this society silently doing public welfare!
"Adu, don't worry about this, you just focus on the music side. I will ask professionals to do this aspect of public welfare. After the company moves to the Media Building, I will start to set up the most professional public welfare team to set up our company's public welfare department, and do things beautifully, so that you have no worries. β
Lin Jianguo became more and more energetic, smoking a cigarette, and said longingly: "When the time comes, we will smash a few million, and our cloud world will also compete for the best public welfare contribution award in the industry this year." By the way, Adu, you take the time to write a few public welfare songs, if you can write a very popular public welfare song, it will be an important bargaining chip to win the best public welfare contribution award on the Chinese song list. β
"Okay, I'll look at it."
That night, Du Xinghe and Lin Jianguo chatted a lot of ideas about public welfare, as for public welfare songs, there are quite a lot of Chinese music scenes in the last plane, and there are more popular ones, he has a lot of copies casually, in fact, he has copied a lot.
Just like when the cloud world was at the end of the year before, he and Xu Nuo were originally going to sing "Tomorrow Will Be Better", which is a quite classic public welfare song.
There is also a double-disc album "Sunshine Always After the Wind and Rain" that Fang Yajun is preparing to record, the theme song of the same name can also be regarded as a public welfare song.
Du Xinghe suddenly had an idea, he felt that Fang Yajun's team would raise their hands in favor of this idea, that is, to give Fang Yajun's "Sunshine is Always After the Wind and Rain", labeled as a public welfare, to enhance the image of Fang Yajun and Cloud World. For every album sold, they take a dollar from the royalties and donate it to a specific nonprofit. This money can all come out of the royalty share of the cloud world, and when the time comes, the publicity will say that Fang Yajun and the cloud world donated together, so that the interests of Fang Yajun's team will not be harmed at all, and they can also get a good reputation, why don't they do it?
But if you think about it one step further, it seems a bit hypocritical to do so. Because if it is a simple public welfare album, just like the kind of public welfare collection that the four major ones will release at the end of each year, people donate all the proceeds to public welfare organizations. Of course, this kind of donation is usually donated to their company's public welfare organization, but this is a superior judgment compared to the fact that they only donate one dollar for each piece sold.
If you really make a gimmick like donating one dollar to a public welfare organization for every album sold, it may not be able to bring positive reviews to Cloud World and Fang Yajun, but will also recruit black.
Du Xinghe has to think about this matter carefully, and he can't act rashly.
This night, Du Xinghe went back to his home in Canghai District to sleep, and didn't sleep with Xu Nuo anymore. All day, Xu Nuo accompanied her mother to rest at home, adjusted the jet lag, and had not returned to the cloud world to enter the work state.
During this period, Du Xinghe made a few phone calls to Xu Nuo, and he could hear that Xu Nuo was very wilted by her mother at home, and she also told Du Xinghe a very bad news, her mother may retire early, just to keep an eye on her at home, and they are not allowed to mess around again! (To be continued......)
