170 [Tonight at half past eight] begging for subscription
Walking out of the store of Red Star Records, Zhong Tingting still had a trace of disbelief on her face, she didn't expect the conversation to go so smoothly, the clerk just asked her for the company's information and information on the production of records, and asked her to send twenty albums tomorrow.
When she got to the street outside, the scorching sun in the sky made Zhong Tingting come back to her senses, and she waved her fist excitedly: "It seems that it is quite simple, and it is not as difficult as Manager Li said." ”
Secretly happy for a while, Zhong Tingting only felt that her body was full of energy now, picked up the map and drew a circle on the Bell and Drum Tower, and went straight to the record store on the next street.
In addition to Zhong Tingting's victory in the first battle, the other four also had their own gains in the following time, and reached cooperation with some private bookstores and record stores.
……
A few days have passed in the blink of an eye.
This afternoon.
An office building on Chang'an Avenue.
In the Times Records office, Li Yange wrote something on a piece of paper while talking on the phone.
"Yes, we are a record company in Hong Kong, and we hope to work with your publishing house...... Yes, then I'll send someone over tomorrow...... Okay, okay, then that's it, excuse me, okay goodbye. ”
After hanging up the phone, Li Yange quickly wrote down the address on the paper, and drew a circle with the name of "Beijing Audio and Video Publishing House" written next to it, he looked up and said, "Chen Mao, come over for a while." ”
"What's wrong, Manager Li?" Chen Mao walked over quickly.
"You'll be at this address tomorrow."
Li Yange handed the note with the address written on it to Chen Mao, and then said: "This is the Beijing Audio and Video Publishing House, I told them that I would send someone over tomorrow to discuss cooperation, and you can talk to them according to what I handed you before." ”
When he heard that he had to talk to the publishing house by himself, Chen Mao was a little excited and a little nervous.
Seeing him like this, Li Yange smiled: "Don't be nervous, this is the National Publishing House, just follow the process." ”
"Okay Manager Li."
"Alright, you can go back first, it's not too early."
Li Yange waved his hand to signal that Chen Mao could go back, and when he said goodbye and left, Li Yange glanced at Cheng Shaojun, who was sitting opposite, and saw that she was still writing something, so she couldn't help but walk out of her seat, leaned over and asked, "What are you busy with?" ”
"I'm counting the last few days of the store and the albums they have sold."
"How?"
"At present, 8,000 albums have been released, and it is unknown how they will sell, but Xue Ke and they are selling well these days, selling more than 3,000 copies in total."
"So much?"
Li Yange looked surprised, he really didn't expect Xue Ke to sell so much in the dance hall.
In just a few days, 3,000 copies have been sold.
"I'm also surprised, but Accountant Fang counted the accounts today, and he did sell three thousand."
Xue Ke really doesn't know how many copies they sold, anyway, every day when they go to the dance hall, in addition to singing a song first, the rest of the time is to sing and sell the album at the same time.
Most of the people who can go to the dance hall to play are young people, and the Baojia Street Band is still very famous in the Beijing rock circle, especially with the end of the fundraising rock concert a few days ago, their fame is chasing Cui Jian.
Coupled with the recommendation of Cui Jian and other rock circles, fans want to spend money to support the first rock album in China.
Li Yange took the financial account book and looked at it, calculated it, and really sold more than 3,000 copies, and at the same time was surprised, he also smiled: "Yes, it seems that Lao Xue and they have worked hard these days." ”
"It's a lot of hard work, but I don't think they'll sell too much in the future."
Although Cheng Shaojun doesn't know how many dance halls there are in Beijing, if it continues to develop at this rate, fewer and fewer people will buy albums, after all, not everyone will go to dance halls to play, and it is difficult to empty 50,000 albums simply by relying on the support of rock fans.
It can only be sold in major record stores to discover more potential fans.
"It's okay, Beijing Radio will broadcast "Once Upon a Time" on Beijing Radio tonight, and the Youth Daily will also publish a report on China's first rock album the morning after tomorrow."
Li Yange shook his head, how could he not know that Xue Ke and Dou Dawei were selling records in dance halls, and they were always just small numbers, and if they really wanted to sell short albums, they still had to be discovered among the ordinary people.
It's like Peking University's Cui Jian fan club.
These people don't look like all of them are Cui Jian's fans, but they are also rock lovers.
In the case that Cui Jian does not have an album to come out, once a rock album is released, I believe these people will never miss it.
Not to mention the popularity of the Baojia Street Band, it can be regarded as a little famous among Beijing music lovers.
So these days, in addition to letting Zhong Tingting, Chen Mao and others sell goods in major record stores in Beijing, Li Yange doesn't care too much about the sales of records.
After all, I didn't do any advertising, and even if it was on the market, others wouldn't know if it was right.
At this time, there were no special music weeklies in Beijing, and it was not until October, after the "Audiovisual World" sponsored by the China Record Corporation, that some music weeklies appeared in Beijing one after another.
Nowadays, there are music magazines all over the country, including Guangzhou, but due to geographical restrictions, they cannot affect Beijing, and they are only distributed in coastal areas for the time being.
……
……
Night.
Inside the men's dormitory building on the campus of Peking University.
A dozen boys are gathered in a dormitory, staring patiently at an old-fashioned radio, waiting for the radio program they have in mind.
The name of this radio program is "Half Past Eight Tonight", which premiered on January 1 this year, and is a variety radio program.
The program is mainly based on the content that the audience on-demand, involving music, opera, film editing, humanities knowledge and other aspects, once broadcast, it is quickly welcomed and loved by the audience.
"Dangdangdang......"
"Thousands of miles of radio waves send flowers to five continents, and thousands of lights sing songs from all over the world......"
As the opening song of the show sounded, the students in the dormitory gradually became excited, and someone asked: "Pei Han, is that song by the Baojia Street Band broadcast on the radio tonight?" ”
"Of course it's true, it's the president of the fan club who said it himself, how could he lie to you."
Pei Han is a member of the Cui Jian Fan Club of Peking University, and the day before yesterday he heard the president say that the Baojiajie Band, a well-known rock band in Beijing in the past six months, will have a song broadcast on the "Half Past Eight Tonight" program on Beijing Radio Station in the evening.
Another person said: "Speaking of which, I haven't heard the songs of the Baojia Street Band yet, and I've always heard people say it's good, but I didn't go to the last concert because of something." ”
Pei Han waved his hand: "It's okay, I heard the president say that this Baojia Street Band has released an album, and if you think it's good, you can go to the record store and buy one back later." ”
"Album released? No, Brother Cui hasn't released an album, why is the Baojia Street Band? ”
A classmate is a fan of Cui Jian, and when he heard that the Baojia Street Band had released an album, he was immediately unhappy.
In his opinion, Cui Jian is the first person to rock in China, and he should be the first to release an album.
"I heard that Li Yange, one of the founders of the Baojia Street Band, helped contact a Hong Kong record company, which helped the Baojia Street Band record an album and release it."
"Li Yange? Who is it? It's so powerful, I can contact the record company in Hong Kong. ”
"You know how to study every day, so naturally you don't know Li Yange, let me tell you, Li Yange is quite a bull......
The man said everything he knew about Li Yange.
When everyone was still amazed that the songs of the Baojia Street Band were all written by Li Yange, Pei Han waved his hand and said, "Okay, stop talking, this is the song!" ”
"Audience friends, today I bring you a very beautiful song "Once You", this song is composed by the band formed by the freshmen of the Central Conservatory of Music, the lyrics are full of youth, like a beautiful poem......"
As the radio host finished the introduction, soon the prelude sounded,
Accompanied by the sound of drums and bass, Dou Dawei sang passionately: "I once dreamed of going to the end of the world with a sword and seeing the prosperity ......of the world, my young heart was always a little frivolous, and now you are at home all over the world."
