Chapter 726: Cloud World Finally Has Money
"Are you alright?" Seeing that Du Xinghe was a little wrong, Xu Nuo asked him softly.
Du Xinghe shook his head, saying that he was fine, then lay down again, hugged Xu Nuo into his arms, let Xu Nuo put his arms and wrists on his pillow, and whispered: "Hurry up and sleep, you have to get up early tomorrow." ”
"Hmm." Xu Nuo responded gently, closed his eyes, and soon re-entered his dream. In Du Xinghe's arms, she can always sleep very soundly. When Du Xinghe usually slept with Xu Nuo, he would sleep very soundly and soundly, but after having such a terrible nightmare this night, he also fell asleep.
The previous dream was too real and delicate, he had a memory playback function, and when he was lying down with his eyes closed, he replayed the dream in his mind, and the effect and details of the playback were as if they had really happened, and he recalled the past days before, and the effect of the playback was so real and delicate. And he had recalled the dream before, but the effect of the playback at that time was relatively hazy, and it was obvious that it was a dream. Not now, it's completely true!
Such a real playback made Du Xinghe relive the terrifying moment, and it also made him even more confused - is this a nightmare? Or did it really happen?
Just when Du Xinghe was confused, in the night sky, a pair of invisible eyes were staring at this qiē, and he saw that Du Xinghe had experienced such a "nightmare", and he still failed to make a breakthrough, and he was very helpless. Du Xinghe's soul awakening was too low, and he didn't want to really awaken, which made this peeping person in the night sky a little disappointed. However, he was not discouraged, and he decided to create a few bigger "nightmares" for Du Xinghe in the future. to stimulate Du Xinghe's soul awakening.
……
Du Xinghe couldn't sleep well this night, because he was worried that the dream he had would really come true. It would be too bad if Leo really sent back Jiang Youli, who was possessed by Chu Renmei, if he said nothing, he wouldn't let Ah Qun stimulate Jiang Youli.
However, this fear did not happen.
Early in the morning, as soon as Xu Nuo left, Du Xinghe immediately called Leo, and learned that Leo was still fighting the mountain demons in Jiang Youli's hometown, and he claimed to kill all the mountain demons over there before coming back, because Jiang Youli's condition was directly related to the mountain demons over there. The most powerful mountain demon must be found. It is possible to help Jiang Youli recover her normal body. It is impossible for Leo to return to Fuwan in a short time, and it is impossible for Jiang Youli to come back in a short time.
Du Xinghe contacted Leo and them before, and it was also said that he could not come back in a short time. So in the "dream". Leo suddenly returned with Jiang Youli. Du Xinghe was quite surprised.
Now I heard that Leo couldn't come back. This made Du Xinghe feel a lot more steady. Although that dream is extremely real, it is still a dream after all, and it should not become a reality. Du Xinghe breathed a lot of relief.
However, I recalled the beautiful grimace of Chu people in my dream. Du Xinghe still had some palpitations. He didn't understand how he could have such a dream, maybe he was more impressed by going to the set of "The Old Corpse of the Mountain Village" to watch Wang Xiaoyue and them filming, and he himself had no experience in filming this kind of ghost drama on the spot. At that time, he thought it was quite interesting, and he also mentioned a lot of original works to Wang Xiaoyue. Unexpectedly, that experience would leave such a deep shadow on him, which made Du Xinghe a little doubtful that he was cursed by the real Chu Renmei.
Since Leo and the others can all enter this plane from the previous plane, then Chu Renmei, Sadako, or something, who have profound influence, should also have a chance to enter into this plane, right? However, according to the Lei Tuan, these chaotic characters are the spiritual source that supports this low-plane world, so with the ultra-light influence of those monsters on the previous plane, their spiritual power will be very strong after they enter this plane, and they will definitely be affected by the party, it is impossible that there is no news at all? Or is there a more powerful chaotic cultivator in this plane, who have taken all those monsters, or suppressed those monsters so that they don't dare to come forward?
The more Du Xinghe thought about it, the more chaotic he became, so he simply didn't want to, because all his inferences were based on what Lei Tuan said, but now he couldn't prove that what Lei Tuan said was the truth, so no further reasoning based on what Lei Tuan said might not be valid. He simply stopped reasoning blindly, and it was better to live a solid life.
Without the harassment of the possessed Jiang Youli, Du Xinghe had a very dull day, he still went to Luoshan Apartment to celebrate Wang De's birthday, on weekdays, the three mixed-race girls were a little isolated by the company, and they didn't dare to let them show up, which was a bit of a disadvantage to them. So to catch up with this kind of birthday or something, Du Xinghe must come to celebrate the three girls in person, which can be regarded as strengthening their confidence from the side, he wants them to know that the company attaches great importance to them, and he also attaches great importance to them. Although they can't show up and sing like ordinary girls like Lie Yinghong now, they will definitely get the opportunity to be recognized by the public in the near future.
……
On July 1, 1993, Cloud World released its fifth music album, numbered "YSJ-0005" of Yiyan's "Wind and Rain", this album was released by the team of Xiao Tianlang of National Entertainment with full agency, and Cloud World was only responsible for making zuò, so it was very trouble-free, and it was sent very quickly, only more than two months away from Yiyan's last "Flower Heart" album, and it was released in time for the boom of "Flower Heart", which made the sales of "Wind and Rain" all the way to Changhong.
Coupled with the fact that Guoyu spent a lot of money on this album to promote it, this made "Rain or Shine" put a huge satellite on the record market in July, and the sales volume of the whole month of July reached an astonishing 3.65 million copies! beat a group of little kings, ranking second on the sales list of the month, second only to the new album of Bartley, the king of the arrow target who released the album that month.
For a newcomer like Yiyan, who is not young, he has just emerged in the music world, and he can achieve such a super-small king-level result with two albums in a row, which is definitely a miracle.
Originally, Gao Yilin (era) in the Little Heavenly King was the one who surpassed the other three Little Heavenly Kings, and he was the person who was most highly expected to reach the level of the Great Heavenly King at the earliest. But Yiyan's birth made everyone in the circle realize that Gao Yilin's real opponent had appeared. Although Su Shenghua sold an astonishing 4 million sales in June with "You at the Same Table", Su Shenghua's melancholy temperament. is really unbearable as the king, and Su Shenghua does not give people the momentum of rushing upward, so everyone thinks that it is Yiyan who can challenge Gao Yilin now.
The four little kings launched by the four major companies in the music industry are now going to be changed, and they must add Yiyan from the cloud world to make up a five little kings, which can reflect the latest fashion trends in today's music industry.
In addition to the birth of Yiyan, the little king of the cloud world, Xu Nuo is also qualified to be promoted to the status of a little diva with his steady and steady two album results. However, the cloud world obviously didn't give Xu Nuo too much hype. This makes Xu Nuo's influence and exposure much weaker than those little divas of other companies. But look at the record sales of "Little Bird" and "Crazy for Love". Xu Nuo is already a real diva-level figure, and he is even about to hook the edge of the 15 million-level big diva. The average annual sales of her two albums have approached 15 million copies.
However, unlike the sudden rise in the record market, Cloud World has not made much breakthroughs in other areas of the music industry. This highlighted the table in the finals of the Southeast Division of "Sound of China". Lie Yinghong, who was originally pinned on by Du Xinghe. It didn't make it to the top 10 in the final Southeast Division. Lost the opportunity to go to Chang'an to compete for the national championship.
Zhang Xiaozhe also failed to rock to the end, and was eliminated early in the southeast division.
On the contrary, it was Liao Nan, a little embarrassment, who relied on his good performance to reach the top 100 finals in Chang'an. This was very unexpected by Du Xinghe.
Although Liao Nan's singing skills and novel soul singing are very appealing on the spot, he didn't have to pick on singing skills alone, but the image of this kid is too stubborn, and it can't represent the glorious image of the Chinese nation at all! If you choose the new singer on Dongying's side, his obscene image is god-like.
The main purpose of "Sound China" is not only to choose a good voice, but also to choose a good image that can lead 2 billion Chinese people to cheer for the Chinese men's football team, the voice and appearance must be both, but also have a good character and affinity, which is the selection standard of "Sound China".
The other players produced in the southeast division, including Wu Zhilong of the era, all have a kind of tall or upright charm, but Liao Nan, a short man, has a huge gap between his appearance and others, and his height is not even as tall as the selected female players, and the shortlisted male players with an average height of 1.83 meters are even more incomparable.
Liao Nan, a little man of less than 1.63 meters, can be selected, which really makes many eliminated players on the scene unable to understand, and even people in the cloud world feel that Lie Yinghong was defeated, and Liao Nan was promoted, which is a bit incredible, and even unreasonable.
Liao Nan himself cheekily claimed that his promotion represented the high level of selection and grassroots counterattack of "Sound of China". If all the handsome guys and beauties are selected, then "The Sound of China" doesn't need to be called "The Sound of China", just "Face of China".
Liao Nan's statement has a certain basis, because from a purely musical point of view, Liao Nan's singing skills and excellent performance in several songs are at least at the top three among the final finalists, and Wu Zhilong, who is several streets away. Since Wu Zhilong can be promoted, Liao Nan has no reason not to advance.
Although the Big Four can use guò's influence to limit and crush the rising star Cloud World in other competitions, in a national competition like "Sound of China", their influence has not yet reached the point where they can completely strangle the cloud world through the means behind guò.
Not only can they not strangle the cloud world, but in this competition, the players in the cloud world even have a stronger support than all the other players, that is, the support from the Zhang royal family in the Chang'an Palace.
Since Zhang He Yaping took Du Xinghe's information to the "Da Shuai" to see, the "Da Shuai" has an obvious preference for Du Xinghe, not only does Zhang He Yaping take care of the cloud world in all aspects, I heard that this time the Zhang family organized the "Sound of China" competition, "Da Shuai" directly gave a dictatorial opinion - he wants the person who sings Du Xinghe's song to win the championship! The reason is: he likes to listen to Du Xinghe's songs!
This opinion, or order, of the "big handsome" gave Zhang He Yaping a headache. If it was put ten or twenty years ago, it would be easier for Zhang Jiabao to be a singer to win the championship of this kind of competition, just like Zhang Dehua, the champion of this kind of competition last time, is the champion operated by the Zhang family behind the scenes.
However, this is no longer the case, and now the country is becoming more and more open. The people's sense of autonomy has become stronger and stronger, and now it is no longer the era when the Zhang family said that the sun is black and the sun is black. For the Zhang family to win the championship of this kind of competition, the first condition is that that person must have enough strength! Can't anyone who sings Du Xinghe's songs give him the championship, right? If this is the case, the people will have to riot, and in this era, it is impossible for anyone to support a person who does not have absolute strength to win the championship because of the guidance of public opinion.
Zhang He Yaping felt that it was difficult to do this, so he put forward her opinion to the "big handsome". "Dashuai" didn't embarrass Zhang He Yaping too much in this matter. After all. It's not a big deal either. So he asked Zhang He Yaping to do his best, but he hoped to see someone singing the song he liked to listen to win the championship.
Zhang He Yaping couldn't stand the fact that the "big handsome" was inexplicably favoring Du Xinghe, and she couldn't ask the reason, so she was a little resistant in her heart. Didn't the "big handsome" want the people of the cloud world to go to the end? All right. She arranged for one of the worst Cloud World players to go to the end. I want to see if the people will choose this bad singer to win the championship in the end. She wants to leave the choice to the public. In this way, the "handsome" can't say anything about her in the end.
And so. There was a result that Lie Yinghong, who is very powerful in the cloud world, was eliminated, and Liao Nan, who was very inconsistent with the purpose of "Sound of China", was promoted.
Du Xinghe didn't know these inside stories about Lie Yinghong's defeat. He couldn't help but feel sorry in his heart. But for Liao Nan's promotion, although he was a little surprised in his heart, he was still very happy, at least, there was still a lone seedling in the cloud world to continue to go down in this competition. Although Liao Nan is likely not to be able to go to the end, being able to stand on the stage of the finals and sing in front of the national audience is in itself a very beneficial promotion to the cloud world. Therefore, Du Xinghe attaches great importance to Liao Nan's promotion, and there is only a month before the finals start, and Fang Yajun's new album has been completely recorded, and the roadshow publicity activities of the new book have also come to an end, and he will devote all his energy to helping Liao Nan prepare for the national finals of "Sound of China" at the end of August.
During this period, there is another thing that has to be said, that is, the form of "Xun Qin" is a hot seller across the country. Since the call for a new book launch on May 26, "The Legend of Qin" was officially put on the market in the form of a single novel, in just two months, the cumulative sales of the first 6 volumes of "The Legend of Qin" have exceeded 10 million copies! This speed of breaking 10 million is more than any previous martial arts novel!
As soon as Du Xinghe came out of the knife in the martial arts market, he showed amazing sharpness!
The reason why the sales are so explosive has nothing to do with the single CD he came with the book, and the main driving force is the promotion of the book and Du Xinghe, a new writer, by Xingyue Group, which is very powerful. Of course, this kind of promotion is based on the fact that Du Xinghe swept the attention of the people across the country as a tennis genius.
When people knew that Du Xinghe played music and made well-known songs by Yi Yan, Xu Nuo, including Fang Yajun, played tennis, swept the Chinese tennis world, won the Fu Championship championship with an overwhelming advantage, and wrote novels and wrote new martial arts novels such as "Xun Qin", countless people became Du Xinghe's fans. Most of these people are fans of the national princess Zhang Jiajia, and everyone originally thought that Zhang Jiajia was the most proud and talented all-round boy in China. But the birth of Du Xinghe has given everyone one more choice to worship this kind of talent. can play literature, art, and sports to Du Xinghe, and there is no second one in China. In the eyes of many people, this young genius Cheng Dù is no worse than Zhang Jiajia, and some people even think that Du Xinghe is better than Zhang Jiajia in some aspects! This young man is definitely the master of the future world, which makes many people pay special attention to him and truly admire him from the bottom of their hearts.
There are many people who have not read martial arts novels before, and they can't help but look at Du Xinghe's "Xun Qin Ji", and after seeing a lot of wonderful travel stories beyond imagination in this book, they are even more impressed by Du Xinghe's talent.
"Xun Qin Ji" out 3 volumes a month, the first two months sold 10 million copies, this is not all, if Xingyue Publishing House can overestimate Du Xinghe's influence, it will not only open a few printing houses to publish books, they are now sending hundreds of thousands of copies a day to the local market, completely in short supply, if their printing speed can be faster, "Xun Qin Ji" sales will definitely double again.
Xingyue Publishing House has urgently contacted more printing houses to increase the printing scale of "Xun Qin Ji", and when the 7th ~ 9th volume is published in August, they hope to increase the production capacity to the level of 10 million copies per month, so that the market demand will be more vigorous.
According to the current growth trend and supply and demand of "Xun Qin Ji", it is not a fantasy that the monthly sales volume will reach 15 million copies. As long as it can be printed, it will definitely be sold! This phenomenon has not been seen in today's novel market for a long time. The last time was more than ten years ago, when the three martial arts families published books together to fight the market. At that time, the novels published by the three martial arts masters could be sold as long as they were printed. But after that, the motivation to create was not so strong when the three families made enough money, and the books were not published frequently, and the market gradually became colder.
Du Xinghe's "Searching for Qin" was born this time, and this glorious road in the book market is no worse than his amazing performance on the tennis court.
In order to support the rapid development of his publishing house, Du Xinghe attributed all the royalties of "Xun Qin" to Cloud World Publishing House. Combined with the co-publishing rights of Cloud World Press, they can raise an after-tax royalty of 3 yuan from each book sold.
In two months, the independent financial rights of Cloud World Publishing House have increased from the original 2 million allocated by the head office of Cloud World to an astonishing 60 million! With such a strong ability to attract money, it has been directly chasing the main business of the cloud world, the record industry, you know, Yiyan's two albums and Xu Nuo's "Crazy for Love" have only collected about 100 million pre-tax income for the cloud world in the past few months, and it is almost 70 million after tax, Du Xinghe's several copies of "Xun Qin Ji" have topped the income of these huge investment albums, and the employees of the cloud world all say that Du Xinghe alone has carried most of the cloud world, which is not a compliment at all, this is the truth!
In the mall, cash has always been king.
Cloud World now has such a rich cash flow, and it is no longer as bitter as before, and everything has to be calculated to live.
Lin Jianguo was finally able to sleep soundly all day long. Now he doesn't have to calculate any project like before, and he has to fight for any opportunity to make money. Now a lot of money-making opportunities are sent to him, and he has to pick the most trouble-free and high-yield projects to do, and he hands over other laborious and messy projects to his subordinates, and he doesn't worry about it anymore. What he was thinking about now was how he could spend so much cash, let the money make money, and turn more money back.
In the current entertainment industry, investing in movies is the highest and fastest return.
Cloud World currently only has filmed one "Old Corpse in the Mountain Village", which is expected to be completed in mid-August, which is a month slower than they planned before, but Wang Xiaoyue strives for excellence and really doesn't want to finish filming hastily, after all, this is her first big movie work, and she hopes to be perfect. Du Xinghe also supported her idea, so he didn't urge her to finish filming quickly and go to catch the schedule of the Halloween ceremony.
According to the current filming schedule, "The Old Corpse of the Mountain Village" will not be released until October at the earliest. At that time, it was the hottest time for Fang Yajun's new album, so I could use Fang Yajun's gimmick to hype up this movie. But this premise is that Fang Yajun's new album must sell very well and be highly accepted by the market. Otherwise, Fang Yajun's gimmick must not be used to hype. Because this is a movie that is too scary, it is possible to bring negative effects to Fang Yajun's album. So whether this movie can be used to consume Fang Yajun depends on the trend of Fang Yajun's album in the future.
As far as Lin Jianguo knows, Fang Yajun herself wants to be electrocuted, she not only wants to be vocal in the movie, but she also wants to appear in the movie. (To be continued......)
