Chapter 229: Gramophone

The widespread impact of the Phantom of Frozen was only beginning to emerge, and the overwhelming praise in the press put aside for a moment, but the city of Elroy was at the center of the storm, and every inhabitant or person who came here from other cities could feel the difference, perhaps the most immediate of which was the density of the population.

The density of the floating population in El Roy is unusual, and a large number of residents of other cities come by steam train to watch "Frozen", but there are only a few movie theaters in El Roy City, and even if the "Frozen" scheduling rate is increased to 100%, five or six shows a day will still not be able to absorb a large number of stranded audiences.

The day after the release of "Frozen", the number of people queuing at the entrance of the Fantasy Cinema continued unabated, which was a huge effect of the media and newspapers, and those who were not interested in fairy tales were also interested in reading the praise of the newspaper, wondering what kind of fairy tale could be praised as comparable to "The Count of Monte Cristo".

In this era, people from aristocratic or wealthy families usually had only two things to do, the first was to participate in various social activities and increase their influence in the circle called the social circle. The second is the pursuit of art, all kinds of exquisite oil paintings, stone carvings, literature and so on are part of it.

"Frozen" belongs to the latter, and it is undoubtedly the best target for those rich and idle upper class.

It may be an exaggeration, but in fact, because the economy of the Barron Kingdom was in a state of rapid upward movement, cultural and material changes were underway, and the living habits of the old era could not be adapted to the modern era, which was a habit formed by the upper class in order to fill the spiritual emptiness.

The pursuit of culture to the extreme, the pursuit of refinement to morbidity, is probably the most appropriate evaluation of them.

The most popular tea time is actually just a habit passed down by one of the Queen's court lieutenants, one of whom likes to enjoy afternoon tea, so she gradually develops this habit in her social circle, and then spreads to the entire social circle.

What lady doesn't like to drink afternoon tea, taste exquisite pastries, and spend a leisurely time with her girlfriends?

Just from the habit of afternoon tea, we can see the pathological pursuit habits of the whole era.

When "Frozen" became famous all over the country, it was the same as afternoon tea habits, some people talked about this phantom, and others would choose to learn about this work in order to integrate into the circle. When there are more similar things, the sand accumulates into a tower, forming a wave that sweeps the whole country.

On the third day of overwhelming media coverage, the storm caused by "Frozen" was at its most intense.

First of all, those who were not authorized by Harvey, originally only circulated in the civilian market, were sold out in less than a day, and some civilian families were not happy, and sold their books in exchange for several weeks of living expenses.

You must know that when they bought this book from a bookseller, it was not cheap, and now they are selling it at a price dozens or hundreds of times higher, who is not happy. Most of the people who buy "Frozen" are noble merchants from other places, and the purpose is different, whether it is for collecting, giving it to others as a gift, or showing off, "Frozen" that only circulates in Elroy City is a good choice.

After that, it was the turn of the "Frozen" picture book comics, the "Frozen" picture book comics were not printed much, and they also needed to be evenly distributed to different cities in China. For most of the day after the broadcast of Frozen, all the "Frozen" picture book comics sold out nationwide, and those businessmen with a keen sense of smell always leave no stone unturned to find business opportunities.

The Frozen picture book comic book has become a sought-after target in the art world today, even if it's cheap print. As the main writers of picture books and comics, Shirley and Niya have completely made their own name, especially Niya, she is different from Shirley, she is a member of the Painter's Guild, with a commercial nature, and for a time countless noble businessmen with good status have come to the Painter's Guild to entrust her with painting.

Nia also had to help Shirley draw illustrations, so her first teacher became the biggest beneficiary, and Rodney Art Street suddenly became lively, with an endless stream of customers, driving the development of an entire art street.

The artists who opened workshops and studios on Rodney Art Street were very happy, and whenever the guests asked, they were cheeky and talked about how to be optimistic about Niya back then, and tried to draw in their relationship with Nia, but the residents of Rodney Art Street basically knew that Niya had eaten a whole street of closed doors, so when a guest came to the door, he took out a few words of ridicule to make those cheeky artists lose face.

A few days after the release of "Frozen", another bombshell news blew up the city of El Roy.

That is, the gramophone sold by the Cromwell Chamber of Commerce was added to the "Frozen" song "Letitgo" record, which was praised by newspapers and magazines, and the price of the gramophone was not too expensive, and the average family could afford it if they saved a period of time. On the day of the announcement, the thresholds of the department stores run by the Cromwell Chamber of Commerce were about to be trampled to pieces, and the number of people queuing at the door was comparable to the number of people queuing outside the magic theater, and the entire street was clogged.

As long as the audience who has watched "Frozen" is not impressed by the scene of Queen Anna singing, the audience believes that this is the most quintessential part of the whole cartoon, many viewers have repurchased phantom tickets several times in order to listen to it a few more times, watch it a few more times, carefully appreciate every detail of that paragraph, and also admire Harvey, that amazing scene is built by countless details, the perfect combination of picture and music.

The phonograph was released more than a month ago, and some classical music records were reproduced, but the sales were not very good, thanks to the low price, otherwise it would not have been sold.

When the news of the release of the "Letitgo" record was announced, the number of gramophones and records sold by the Cromwell Chamber of Commerce in half a day exceeded the total sales in a month, and William thoughtfully gave one to every powerful person who cooperated with the Cromwell Chamber of Commerce, especially those guests who came to Elroy City to watch "Frozen".

William and Diana differed in this regard, with Harvey believing William to be a natural businessman.

Cromwell Manor

William looked at the report in his hand and said in a slightly surprised tone: "Harvey, all the phonographs have been sold, and the remaining hundred units are ready to be sent to Norton's magnates, it is not harmful to please them in the Chamber of Commerce, and when the cooperation on Norton's side is negotiated, the factories that produce gramophones can also be increased." ”

Because of Harvey's orders, the inventory of gramophones and records before the broadcast of "Frozen" was quite sufficient, and more than 5,000 gramophones were produced under the factory assembly line, and the record production process was much simpler, and the number of stocks was ten times that of gramophones, but these were sold out in just one week, which is a lot of income for the current Cromwell Chamber of Commerce.

The popularization of the gramophone has a more important meaning in Harvey's view, that is, to spread music, to spread popular music, to spread popular music.

Harvey touched his chin and replied with a smile: "That's it, my purpose is to spread music and take the road of small profits and quick turnover, I will contact Count Henrietta to buy the right to use music in the name of Phantom Film and Television Entertainment." ”

"The trouble is on my side, my father has already gone to Norton, and I guess he won't be able to come back here for a while."

"Isn't that what Mr. Don wants?"

William said in a complicated tone: "Ah, thanks to you, he definitely didn't expect his dream to come true so quickly." ”

William knew what his father wanted, and at least half a year ago, Donn's dream was to grow the Cromwell Chamber of Commerce into one of the largest in the country. Now the Cromwell Chamber of Commerce is a little young in scale, but its reputation is not much worse than that of many large chambers of commerce in the Barron Kingdom, and a steady stream of powerful people come to the door to seek cooperation because of Harvey's fame.
