165 [Lao Xue, the sales of 50,000 copies depend on you] begging for subscription
A new era of audio-visual company.
In the general manager's office, Li Qiang looked at the newspaper of "Sing Tao Daily" in his hand, which he had brought back from Hong Kong, and there was news about the cooperation between Times Records and Zhang Guorong.
Li Qiang threw the newspaper in his hand on the table, and looked up at the two managers of the company's production department and distribution department sitting opposite: "I have said everything that should be said, what do you think?" Do you want to choose to cooperate with this time record? ”
"Manager Li, we have never heard of records in this era before, and the cooperation conditions are too harsh."
Manager Tian of the distribution department said: "According to the conditions they proposed, the production cost of a tape for the first 100,000 albums is at least one dollar, and 100,000 copies is 100,000 yuan. ”
"What do you think?" Li Qiang nodded, did not express his position, but looked at the manager of the production department, wanting to hear his opinion.
Manager Niu of the production department pondered for a moment and hesitated: "In terms of production costs, I can press it on my side, if it is not for the purpose of profit, it can save one or two hundred thousand, plus the other party also invested 50,000 yuan, and we did not spend much cost." ”
"But the cost of publicity and distribution is high." Manager Tian shook his head and said: "An album of an artist without any fame, if you want to sell it, publicity is indispensable,"
Li Qiang asked, "How much do you estimate it will cost?" ”
Manager Tian thought about it, "If it is according to our existing partners, the cost of publicity and distribution will be at least more than 200,000 yuan, posters, radio stations, record stores...... and other places must have it. ”
"In other words, what is in front of us is the production cost, and the second is the distribution cost?"
"Yes." The two spoke in unison.
Li Qiang thought for a while and said, "Then if we reduce the number of tapes we make, and the distribution area is only in Guangzhou, do you think there is any possibility of cooperation?" ”
"If that's the case, you can try."
The two managers glanced at each other and calculated with each other, the production cost was reduced, and the distribution area was also in the local Guangzhou area, so there was no need to give profits to other partners, even if the album did not sell well, the profit was still there.
Hearing this, Li Qiang opened the drawer and took out a piece of paper from it, which was the hotel phone number that Li Yange gave him before, thought about it, picked up the phone on the table and called.
……
……
The next afternoon.
In the restaurant of the White Swan Hotel, there are not many guests at this time, and most of the scattered tables are businessmen.
"Manager Li, the area of issuance can't just be in Guangzhou."
After listening to Li Qiang's words, Li Yange shook his head and said: "The Baojia Street Band has a high reputation in the capital, and there are many rock lovers in the capital. ”
"Beijing?"
Li Qiang frowned and said: "Mr. Li, I can't hide it, we don't have any partners in Beijing for New Era Audio, most of our partners are in the southern region, and we haven't been involved in the north." ”
No? Li Yange was stunned, he remembered that he could buy Yang Yuying's records in Beijing in his last life, and Yang Yuying was a popular singer in the new era of video and audio, so it stands to reason that their company is capable.
But Li Yange thought about it, and that's right, it's only 87 years now, Yang Yuying became famous in the 90s, and now it's normal for the new era of video and audio to only be in the southern region.
Thinking of this, Li Yange had a headache, before he only thought about the record companies he could work with, but he forgot that now in terms of channels, except for Chinese record companies, almost most of the record companies are partial to the couple, or like the new era of video and audio, there are only partners in the southern region.
"That's it, Manager Li, you can only release it in Guangzhou for the time being, but the 100,000 albums will remain the same, one person and half, and the distribution in Beijing will be handed over to our company."
The band Baojiajie has finally gained some popularity in Beijing, and there are many more fans who like rock there than in Guangzhou for the time being. Therefore, in the Beijing market, Li Yange is impossible to give up.
Li Qiang thought for a while, felt that this was okay, nodded and agreed: "Yes, the distribution in Beijing will be handed over to your company." ”
"By the way, Manager Li, on the cover of the 50,000 tapes, the LOGO of our era record must be printed."
"Leaky dog?"
"It's the logo of the company."
Li Yange took out a piece of color printing paper brought back from Hong Kong from her briefcase, on which were the characters of the era written in block letters, and there was an S-shaped music symbol in the lower right corner.
Li Qiang took it and saw that there was nothing surprising, and the distribution in Beijing was handed over to Times Records, and they were at most OEM, so he agreed: "No problem, I will tell the factory." ”
"Manager Li, then I wish us a happy cooperation and a big sell." Li Yange got up and stretched out his hand.
Li Qiang smiled and said, "Happy cooperation." ”
Although there are still some details of the contract that have not yet been negotiated, now that both parties have reached a will, the rest of the matter will not be negotiated for a long time.
……
……
in the room.
After hearing Li Yange say that the album release had been negotiated, Xue Ke was overjoyed on the spot and said: "Is it really negotiated?" ”
"Can I still lie to you about this?" Li Yange rolled her eyes, ignored the kid, walked to the table and began to think about how to promote the album after returning to Beijing.
"No, no, I didn't mean that, I'm just a little excited!"
Xue Ke wandered back and forth excitedly, and after a while, he shouted excitedly: "Haha, I'm also going to release an album and become a real singer!" ”
"Okay, don't get excited there, hurry up and pack your luggage, we will take the train back to Beijing tomorrow, it really doesn't cost money to stay in a hotel."
"Why don't we leave today?"
Thinking of the hotel's room rate, Xue Ke was a little distressed, he stayed for three days, spent more than six hundred, plus two people ate and drank, seven or eight hundred were gone.
"There's still a train there."
Li Yange pointed to the gradually darkening sky outside, what time is it, there are still train tickets to buy, and it may not be possible to buy a direct train to Beijing tomorrow.
"Yes, tomorrow will be tomorrow, anyway, today's room fee has been paid."
When Xue Ke looked at the sky outside, it was already sunset, and although there was still a little afterglow, it would not be long before it would be completely dark.
Li Yange said suddenly: "By the way, Xue Ke, after returning to Beijing this time, I may need you and Dou Dawei to run more." ”
Xue Ke didn't understand: "What do you mean?" ”
"I told Manager Li of New Era Audio-Visual that I would arrange for 50,000 albums to be shipped to Beijing, and whether the albums can sell well at that time depends on whether you work hard enough to go to the dance hall to sell them."
"Fifty thousand?" Xue Ke's eyes bulged, just relying on them to go to the dance hall to sell, how long will it take to sell.
Li Yange thought about it, after returning to Beijing this time, in addition to contacting those record stores and radio stations, he also had to ask Xue Ke and them to take the tapes to major dance halls to sell.
