The contract part of this meeting was quickly and successfully concluded. Except for a few depressed, there are a few who have a better way to develop, and the rest, including Zhang Ziqi, have signed this contract.

Through this meeting, Lin Ming also learned about the company's artists.

At present, the most famous is undoubtedly Zhang Ziqi, there are several classic songs sung, it is a bit exaggerated to say that she is a household name, but eight out of ten people know her songs, and three people know her name like this, no matter how hard you work, you can rush to the front line. followed by two second-tier ones, one is called Zhao Yue, who is the girl who Lin Ming came to Taomu Company for the first time and recorded a song in the recording studio. One is named Wenhu, a twenty-seven-year-old young man who is good at bass. They all have a certain degree of popularity, and there are one or two well-known classic songs in the country. But it's not a household name. Originally, the company had four second-tier singers, but two of them went through this meeting, and only Zhao Yue and Wen Hu remained. The rest of the third- and fourth-tier singers don't need to be introduced, that's basically it.

From the current point of view, the singers promoted by Taomu this year should be Zhang Ziqi, Zhao Yue, Wen Hu and Youthboys New Era Band, and the rest of the singers are lucky to rush to the second line, if they are unlucky, they may still be fooling around below the second line, and wait for the end of this year or the beginning of next year.

After everyone signed the contract, Lin Ming asked Liang Xiaoyue to preside over the meeting. This contract was supposed to be presided over by Hou Wenhui, because he is now in charge of all internal and external aspects of the company, and his position is chairman, but it is still the sentence that the new official has three fires, and the signing of the new contract is based on Lin Ming Liwei, and Hou Wenhui asked him to do this.

Now it looks like I'm quite satisfied. Although the Youthboys were an accident, Hou Wenhui and Liang Xiaoyue did not prevent Lin Ming from directly elevating them to the level of being popular. After all, as the first corporate champion, this is the reward they deserve.

The distribution of the rest of the songs is much simpler, Liang Xiaoyue is in charge of the music sector, as the company's music producer and general manager, he still has a basic understanding of which singers are suitable for which styles.

Zhang Ziqi is about to release a new album, and Liang Xiaoyue picked out four of Lin Ming's thirty songs to create a golden song album for her, which directly hit the front line. The new era took two songs, Youthboys climbed to the sky in one step, and the next album picked out two songs, and rushed directly to the second line, and the rest of Zhao Yue and Wen Hu also had two songs each, and the rest were assigned to the rest of the company. There are more than 30 artists in the company, and there are four in the team, picking and picking them up, and there are eleven songs left. Lin Ming's more than 30 golden songs, with such a large personnel base, are all left at once. Therefore, don't look at the thirty high-quality songs, there are a lot of them, but in fact, there are more monks and less porridge, which is quite rare.

This is also the reason why Lin Ming often regrets that he didn't remember a little more songs in his last life, but fortunately, there are no big problems with more than 30 songs this year. He still has more than 100 residual songs, let Liang Xiaoyue find a team of songwriters to supplement, and soon there will be a steady stream of new songs to contribute to the development of Taomu.

After the meeting, Lin Ming went to the recording studio to inspect the New Era Band. The New Era Band didn't come to the meeting just now because their contract had already been signed, and they originally signed a short-term contract, which will expire next year. According to the original course of history, the entire band would have disbanded. Only Ah Jian, who was at home, became popular after two years by writing some songs on his own, and the rest of them went to all corners of the world and disappeared. Now with Lin Ming's help, the new contract will naturally have to be signed.

In the recording studio, the chubby recording engineer surnamed Song was busy working. Seeing Lin Ming coming in, he hurriedly said, "Mr. Lin." ”

Who would have thought that the last time we met, we were still children, and now we have to call everyone Mr. Lin?

The changes in the development of the world are really fast, which makes Song Fatzi sigh.

"Leave me alone, keep recording." Lin Ming saw that Ah Jian was singing hard, my sky and running have already been recorded, and even the MV is almost filmed, and now the remaining songs are recorded, and after the recording, I will wait for the album to be released.

They set the album for June 1, but Lin Ming has a thought of his own. After Liang Xiaoyue came in, he asked Liang Xiaoyue to sit on the sofa in the recording studio together, and while looking at Ah Jian, who was recording songs inside, he said, "Mr. Liang, how about their album is scheduled for May 31st?" ”

"May 31st?" Liang Xiaoyue said strangely: "What's the point? ”

Lin Ming explained: "Our school will hold a graduation party every day before the college entrance examination holiday. On May 31st, I will invite the new era to sing the song, and then call the film crew to record, and then release the album on the same day, and release the recorded video on the Internet. ”

According to the relevant regulations, the senior high school students will be officially suspended from classes one week before the college entrance examination to reduce the pressure on students. The fourth middle school will officially suspend classes for senior high school students on May 31, but there are policies and countermeasures, and in the five days from 6.1 to 6.5, the fourth middle school still requires students to study at school. But in order to relieve the pressure on the students, this graduation party was held for them.

"Do you want to do online promotion?" Liang Xiaoyue frowned and said: "I don't know much about the Internet, I heard that it has been very popular in the past two years, and my cousin is playing computer games every day, but is this kind of promotion appropriate?" It's better to find Mr. Zhao and ask him to contact the local news media. ”

Lin Ming said with a smile: "Don't look at the fact that the Internet is not developed now, but in my opinion, a certain mainstream media in the future must be the online world, and the online media can be much cheaper than the news media, as long as the topic is hot, it is easy to produce ten times stronger effects than the traditional news media." But you're right, after all, this era is different, and the way to deal with it is different. It is better for us to take a two-pronged approach to see if the company can contact a special network company to promote the operation, and Mr. Zhao will also contact the local media for reporting, and it is best for the national media to participate. Let's strive to make the new era an instant hit and directly become a second-tier or even first-tier star. ”

People who have experienced this era may have some impressions that now, unlike later generations, if a singer wants to be popular, it is not determined by the so-called Internet hits and how popular the songs are on the Internet, but by the exposure in traditional media such as radio, newspapers, entertainment magazines, television, and album CD tape sales.

Therefore, this era is like red, and it is much more difficult than later generations. But if there are no conditions, create them.

Lin Ming planned to do both at the same time, and the two would be carried out simultaneously.

Of course, how good the effect of this synchronization is, almost everyone, including Liang Xiaoyue, is not very optimistic.

To what extent did the network fail in 2002? Let's give you a popular science. The computer system is Microsoft's latest Windows XP last year, and the chat software is still half MSN and half penguin era, older people like Liang Xiaoyue's generation use MSN, and younger people like Lin Ming Peng Chen's generation use penguins. The search engine thousand degrees is on the line of the year before last, as for sticking it? No, it will be out by the end of 2003. Music or movie sites? No. Game? There are few, the most popular is the legend, and the highest online is 600,000 people. Music player? Winamp2 abroad, Qianqian Jingting is still under development, and Super Jieba is just a player.

As for the colorful software in later generations, I think too much. In our era, everything is concise, whether it is the Internet or life, it is simple and ordinary. There are not so many messy things, but this kind of life is actually very inconvenient. Some people are nostalgic, while others still love the future.

On the discussion of this aspect, the benevolent and the wise have their own opinions.

But at the end of the day.

The network promotion in this era is indeed not very good, there is no Weibo, no mobile APP, no today's headlines, no celebrity fan base, nothing.

The only one that can be promoted, the forum. If Lin Ming wants to promote his company's music on the Internet, this is the place to go. Of course, penguins are also a good choice, but this can really only be passed on by word of mouth.

"Since you have this idea, it is better to let Zhang Ziqi take the stage by the way, after all, she is not very famous, and she can help build momentum. When your song is windy, you can sing it to her. ”

"This suggestion is good, Zhang Ziqi's vocal range is very wide, and when the wind rises, it is actually very suitable for more neutral female singing, so let's decide."

"Okay, but the Internet, I'll discuss it with Mr. Hou, the company hasn't dealt much with those network companies, see if he can contact a powerful network company for promotion, I don't know the bottom of my heart with them. However, Mr. Zhao has a wide range of friends, his net worth is more than me and Mr. Hou combined, and his business and contacts are also quite broad, so he can help ask. ”

"It's for the best."

"I think you still have to have a mobile phone, you are now a shareholder of the company, and if you want to participate in many decisions in the company, it is still very inconvenient to have a mobile phone."

"Well, I'll get a PHS tomorrow." Lin Ming said: "By the way, how is the company's network department now. ”

"Now three people have been recruited temporarily, and Peng Chen, whom you introduced, is the head of the department. However, this department is useless now, and the company does not have this task assigned to them. Liang Xiaoyue complained: "I go to work every day and play in front of the computer for a while, and if the white-collar salary is used, this is not good." ”

"Then give them a task first, design a homepage for the company." Lin Ming said: "When the matter at hand is dealt with, I will arrange a time to hold a meeting for them." Don't tell them I'm still in my first year of high school. ”

"Rest assured, your information is still confidential in the company. Everyone thinks you're a college student. ”

"That'll do."

He had panicked in front of Peng Chen before, but now that he had become his top boss, Lin Ming had to panic a second time. For example, if the company's parents invested in shares or something like that, if they help with the previous lies, Peng Chen will leave in anger, and it will be a big trouble.

After dealing with the company's affairs, Lin Ming and Liang Xiaoyue went to the office to start the restoration of the residual song, and they were busy until 11 o'clock in the evening, before they barely repaired a song.

Because this work is too tiring, he also proposed to the board of directors to recruit a group of professional lyricists.

The so-called professional lyricists are those who get a salary in the company, and generally only the old large music companies have them. After all, professional lyricists are really raised, and the salary is not low. But Peachwood Music is not too big now, so Liang Xiaoyue and the others are in the consideration stage for the time being, and they will discuss this issue after a while of growth.
