In Sanlitun, a two-storey house, two workers are busy installing colored light tubes on the first floor.

"Whew! Whew! ”

Li Yange and Xue Ke panted and moved a large box from the tricycle.

"Anything else?" Dou Dawei, who came out of the house, hurriedly stepped forward and took a hand.

There was a person to help hold it, Xue Ke breathed a sigh of relief, shook his head and said, "No, this is the last box." ”

The three of them carried the boxes into the house together, and then piled them up in the corner.

Fang Yuanchao on the side counted the goods, counted them, and turned back in surprise: "I said 50,000 tapes so much?" Need so many large boxes? ”

Xue Kelei was panting and sticking out his tongue, and when he heard Fang Yuanchao's words, he rolled his eyes and said, "This is 50,000 sheets, but not 500 sheets, do you think one box can be fully filled?" ”

"It's not all albums, and there's a box of posters that I got someone to order." Li Yange looked among the piled up goods, found a small box, walked over and opened it to take a look, and there were a bunch of group photo posters of the Baojiajie Band inside.

This was filmed in the photo studio a few days ago, and there is no style, but five people posed for a few poses, a typical poster style of the eighties and nineties, without too many bells and whistles.

Fang Yuanchao stepped forward quickly, took out a poster from the small box, and spread it out to see that Dou Dawei was the lead singer so he stood in the middle, he and Xue Ke stood on the left and right, and Liu Wen and Tian Zhennan were in the back.

"Yes, yes, I was quite handsome." Fang Yuanchao touched his chin narcissistically, looking at himself in the poster and was intoxicated.

"Come on, with your appearance, no one said that you insulted the city's appearance."

Recently, because of the Asian Games, there has been a large-scale rectification in the urban area of Beijing, and the appearance of the city is discussed everywhere, and Xue Ke couldn't help but mock twice.

"You say, who is more handsome, me or Xue Ke." Fang Yuanchao was not convinced, among the six people, he thought that his appearance was in the top three, the first was naturally Li Yange, and the second was Dou Dawei.

Seeing that the two were arguing about who was more handsome on the poster, Li Yange said loudly: "Okay, don't discuss the poster, the album and poster have arrived, starting tomorrow, when you go to the dance hall to perform, remember to bring the poster and album." ”

"No problem, I've already said hello to those bosses."

Xue Ke patted his chest, he has not been idle these days, and he visits the major song and dance halls in Beijing with Dou Dawei every day.

With the fame accumulated in the red romance, the heads of these dance halls have more or less heard of the Baojia Street Band, so they naturally welcome the band to perform in their song and dance hall.

Dou Dawei followed: "I found some friends, and they will also help us promote it in the Youth Light Music Troupe." ”

Hearing that the two of them were prepared, Li Yange nodded: "Well, it's good to be prepared." 50,000 albums is not too much, less is not too much, anyway, Beijing is enough to digest them all, but as for how long it will be sold out, it still depends on everyone's efforts. ”

"Don't worry Yan Ge, even if the performance is exhausted, I will help you sell all these tapes!"

Fang Yuanchao clenched his fists, as if there was a hard battle to fight next.

Xue Ke, Dou Dawei and others said confidently: "That's right, it's hard to say in Guangzhou, anyway, here in Beijing, 50,000 albums are definitely sold out!" ”

The Baojia Street Band can record albums, all of which rely on Li Yange's efforts alone, not only he is the one who writes and writes songs, but he is also the one who finds someone to record, and the follow-up cooperation with the record company in Guangzhou is still Li Yange.

It can be said that this one is from scratch, and Li Yange is basically worried about it alone, and they only need to sing and record it seriously.

These things already made Dou Dawei and others grateful, not to mention that after the two came back from Guangzhou, Xue Ke said that this time they were able to successfully make records, all because Li Yange invested 50,000 yuan.

50,000 yuan!

In today's era when 10,000 yuan households are rare, 50,000 yuan is a huge amount of money.

It was precisely because they felt that Li Yange had paid too much that Dou Dawei, Xue Ke and others discussed and decided to sign a contract with the Times Record Company established by Li Yange.

They are willing to sign a contract with Times Records, Li Yange is naturally welcome, although there are no too harsh conditions, but the brothers settle the accounts and do not give out any albums.

After all, the vast majority of domestic record companies have not shared this statement at all, especially Chinese records with the prefix of the national character, which are still settled according to the monthly salary, at most there is a bonus after the big sale.

"Well, I'm not worried about the release of the album."

Li Yange is really not worried that the 50,000 albums will not be sold, but is thinking about the follow-up printing.

……

August 10.

Gulou Street was once the oldest commercial district in Beijing, and it has had the prototype of commerce since the Yuan Dynasty, until after the Republic of China, the shops here have developed to their peak and become a famous market behind the imperial city.

Continuing to this day, between the green tiles of the Gulou Street wall, under the shade of green trees, the various shops on both sides of the road are densely packed, and the people on the roadside are not lively.

Zhong Tingting carried a backpack on her shoulder, took a map and looked left and right, and finally chose the nearest record store to her.

Red Star Records.

Red Star is a long-established record store, from the opening in the 60s, after more than 20 years of ups and downs, from the earliest only domestic vinyl records, to now after the reform and opening up, the store is also full of many singers' album tapes, and sometimes there are some foreign albums for sale.

It has also become a frequent place for music lovers in the neighborhood.

Entering the store, Zhong Tingting glanced at the record store, the area was not large, the shelves were full of all kinds of tapes, and behind the counter, there were many vinyl records.

At this time, there were not many customers in the store, and the clerk at the counter was yawning and looking at the newspaper in his hand. Red Star Records is a state-owned unit, and the work is very stable, so naturally there is no passion for work.

Zhong Tingting stepped forward and asked, "Hello, is the manager of your store here?" ”

"Store manager? Looking for our director? The clerk looked up at the girl in front of him.

"Yes, I have something I want to find your director."

"The director is not here, tell me something."

"The ......"

For the first time in sales, Zhong Tingting was still a little timid, hesitated for a while, and plucked up the courage to say: "That's the case, I am the sales manager of Hong Kong Times Records, and I came here this time to discuss cooperation with your record store." ”

"Hong Kong's record labels?!"

As soon as he heard that it was a Hong Kong company, the clerk put away a few scatters, sat up straight, and said, "Do you want to store goods with us?" ”

With the reform and opening up, the record store often has some record companies to come to distribute goods, for this kind of cooperation, at first Red Star Records was not very happy, because they are state-run stores, and they have always sold the records of the China Record Corporation.

It's just that the times are different, and many of the records released by China Record Corporation are mostly red songs, or professional instrument records, and the sales are naturally not as good as today's pop songs.

In order to make money, Red Star Records gradually doesn't care who comes to distribute the goods, anyway, there is no need to pay first, if you sell it, you will make money, why not.
