Rowling's cassette was officially released on October 20, and the initial sale was so-so, but as time went on, sales began to get better and better, especially several classic songs in the cassette began to be sung in the community and aroused everyone's interest.

This era is still an era of information blockage, Rowling's song selection is carefully selected, two of the songs given to her by Song Yuanchao can be regarded as classics in later classics, plus other songs are not bad, although the real original singer is not Rowling, but because the original singing tapes are rarely circulated in China, and when people hear these songs for the first time, the first impression is that Rowling is the original singer.

In addition, in order to promote this cassette, Luo Yang also spent a lot of effort, he specially asked someone to play two of Rowling's songs on the radio station, that is, "When You Are Old" and "The Rest of Your Life", when these two melodic and touching songs began to be played on the radio station, these two songs, including the name Xia Ye, quickly spread to all parts of the country at the speed of radio waves and caused a sensation.

In just one month, 100,000 cassettes sold at a selling price of 6.5 yuan, and although this number did not break the average monthly record of "When Will We Meet" released by Wang Jieshi and Xie Lisi released by Pacific Company this year, it is still extremely high.

"When will we meet" This cassette is a myth in the sales of tapes in the eighties, this is a box of male and female duet tapes, which are all some old songs and movie song tracks, the number of songs in the whole cassette is more than Rowling's, a total of 18 songs, and the sales price is also higher than Rowling's, sold for a full 6.9 yuan.

In the era when the average salary is only about 40 yuan, the sales price of 6.9 yuan is considered very high, but this is the terrible record that this cassette tape actually sold more than 5 million boxes that year, which can be said to be unprecedented and unprecedented, and has become a milestone in the sales of popular song tapes in China.

In those days, on the streets, in the villages, in the Central Plains, inside and outside the campus, their songs of "Grandma's Penghu Bay", "Treading Waves" and "Walking on the Country Road" echoed everywhere, and Wang Jieshi and Xie Lisi also became idols in the hearts of young people.

Rowling's cassette tapes were not as popular as "When Will We Meet" at first, but as time went on, the sales of this cassette showed a clear upward trend, especially when radio stations around the world played Rowling's songs under the promotion of Luo Yang's intentions, and the sales of cassette tapes began to have a hot trend.

If nothing else, the number of Rowling tape sales will also be astronomical, and it is unknown whether it can surpass "When Will We Meet".

In this regard, the happiest person is not Pacific Company, nor Rowling as a party, but Luo Yang.

Because in order to do this, Luo Yang can be said to have paid a lot of price, because Luo Lin is a newcomer and not famous, in order to give her this tape Luo Yang almost covered most of the cost of recording and selling the tape, which is a lot of money, even if Luo Yang has made a lot of money over the years, and there is no shortage of money in his hands, but once the money is completely lost, it will also make him break his bones.

It is precisely because Luo Yang is responsible for the risk that the Pacific Company will help to produce this tape, otherwise the Pacific Company would not have agreed to this matter.

At the beginning, Luo Yang had the intention of losing money, and in his opinion, it was completely bearable to lose part of it, even if it was a loss of most of it. Unexpectedly, as time went by, Rowling's tapes sold better and better, especially after Song Yuanchao gave him the idea of a radio station, Rowling's tape sales suddenly became extremely hot.

Before the end of the first month, the number of tapes sold reached 100,000 boxes (excluding ripping and piracy), because of the risk-bearing reasons, Luo Yang and the Pacific Company signed a high proportion of the contract, before the tape was put on sale, such a ratio was beneficial to the Pacific Company, but from the current situation, Luo Yang became a profiteer.

According to Taiping's forecast, Rowling's tape sales are likely to exceed 300,000 boxes next month, and if that number is reached, the benefits will be huge.

The price of the tape sales is 6.5 yuan, excluding the cost and the share of the Pacific Company, and the profit share of a box of tapes in Luo Yang's hands is about 0.9 yuan.

This number is not low, and with the later large-scale recording and sale, the cost will be further reduced, and when the number of sales exceeds 500,000 boxes, Luoyang's profit share will increase to about 1.1 yuan.

From this point of view, Luo Yang is no longer at a loss, and he can make a lot of money. As for the Pacific side, it is also a surprise, although the Pacific Ocean has given up a part of the share of Rowling's tapes due to risk-taking reasons, but even so, on the whole, the Pacific still earns more than Luo Yang, plus the name Xia Ye is getting louder and louder, as a Pacific company that is vigorously digging into and cultivating its own singers, this is also a surprise.

The big sales of the tapes strengthened Luo Yang's confidence in entering this industry, and he had officially started to prepare to establish the company.

In this era, self-employed people in the mainland have just appeared, but real private companies have not yet appeared. According to the trajectory of history, the first private company after the reform and opening up was formally established in 1985, so Luo Yang used the relationship of the Ministry of Culture when dealing with this matter, that is, the so-called "affiliation" nature of the later generations to operate, although this operation has many problems and many drawbacks, but at present, it can only be carried out in this way.

As for Rowling, Rowling was also very happy about the booming sales of the tapes, and overnight Natsuha's name spread all over the country, and her singing accompanied the tapes everywhere. But the people who really know that Rowling is Xia Ye are limited to a few people, due to the use of stage names, and Rowling does not really show her face on the cover, even no one in the song and dance troupe where she works knows the secret that Rowling is Xia Ye.

The famous Rowling still goes to and from work as before, and lives her sweet little life with Lin Yuhang. In the song and dance troupe, Rowling is still an obscure and marginal character who is excluded as before, although some people listen to Rowling's tapes in the song and dance troupe, and sing Rowling's songs, and even some people will jokingly say to Rowling that Rowling's voice is a bit like this Xia Ye or something, but they (they) never thought that when they said this, their expressions were calm and calm, and the unnoticed Rowling was the Xia Ye they (they) talked about.

Luo Yang naturally won't forget his sister when he makes money, so he deliberately gave some of it to Luo Lin, saying that it was her commission for the tape. Luo Lin didn't care about this money, Luo Yang is her younger brother and not an outsider, and the money is also her own labor income, so there is nothing to be embarrassed about.

In addition, Rowling and Lin Yuhang have already married, and all aspects of the family's expenses and future children's upbringing will need to cost money, after asking Luo Yang about the total amount of the share, Rowling also accepted the money with peace of mind, but she didn't know that Luo Yang was actually looking for an excuse to give this money to Rowling, you must know that the profits from tapes in this era are basically earned by the production company and middlemen, and the singer as an interpreter has never been divided, and all she takes is the cost of buying out a box of tapes.

Even if it is a national-level famous singer, such as Li Guyi, Hu Songhua, Luo Tianchan, Jiang Dawei and other singers, the remuneration for a cassette tape is only about 1,000 yuan, and the high one is not more than 2,000.

"Does your sister still plan to continue working in the song and dance troupe?" Song Yuanchao's courtyard, Luo Yang and Song Yuanchao sat in the study drinking tea, today they drank the best black tea, as the weather gradually became colder, the black tea nourished the stomach and drank comfortably, and stayed with Song Yuanchao for a long time, Luo Yang's taste for tea has gradually improved, and he no longer only drinks the flower tea that Yanjing people like like before.

"You don't know my sister? In her eyes, my brother-in-law is alone, marrying a chicken and a dog and marrying a dog, she is talking about her, where my brother-in-law is, she is there, and she has a very strong temper. Luo Yang took a sip of tea, put down the teacup, shook his head and sighed, before getting married, Luo Lin regarded herself as the Lin family, let alone getting married now.

After the tape began to become popular, the Pacific Company contacted Rowling again and suggested that Rowling go to Yangcheng to study and work again, if Rowling is willing, the Pacific Company can give Rowling a very generous condition, not only the work but also the house or something to solve them, because in their eyes, Rowling, as a popular singer, is simply a future cash cow, how can such a person let go?

However, Rowling still declined the invitation, telling the other party that she did not want to leave Yanjing, but she did not refuse the suggestion of releasing a new tape next year, but only replied that she would use this time to study and improve again, and then release a new tape when she was ready.

For Rowling's reply, the Pacific Company was naturally a little dissatisfied, but in view of Rowling's background, the Pacific Company could only be persuaded by He Zhili, who had dealt with Luo Yang at the beginning, through Luo Yang. It's a pity that Rowling's decision can't be changed even by Luo Yang, so this matter can only be done temporarily.

Song Yuanchao agreed with Rowling's idea from a personal perspective, because Rowling just wanted to prove herself before the cassette was released, and she didn't have any desire for fame and fortune. Otherwise, with Rowling's character, she would not agree to Luo Yang's suggestion at the beginning, and now Rowling can be said to have succeeded, coupled with her feelings for Lin Yuhang, it is very unlikely that she will leave Lin Yuhang's side.

"Your sister is a pure person, a person who is detached from low-level tastes, you have to understand her." Song Yuanchao said half-jokingly and half-seriously.

Luo Yang was also happy when he heard this, shook his head and smiled: "This is also true, she has that character, otherwise she would not be marginalized in the song and dance troupe, if she changes to someone else, hehe......." ”

After that, everyone knew it in their hearts, but Song Yuanchao still reminded that as the name Xia Ye became louder and louder, Rowling could hide it for a while but couldn't hide it for a lifetime, and some things were still prepared early, so as not to bring unnecessary confusion to Rowling's work and life.
