Chapter 183: Tomorrow's Record Company (Asking for Recommendation)
With the most important financial investment this year, Xu Zhengdao, who also feels relieved, is not worried about funds for the time being, and it is rare to have time to ride a motorcycle through the city streets as an ordinary person.
It was only when he heard familiar music from the record store next to him that he suddenly realized, "I pay less attention to record companies than film and television companies. Maybe tomorrow, I should be able to go around."
Walking into the record store and buying a record, Xu Zhengdao also asked curiously, "How is the sales of this record?"
"Sir must have not visited the music store in a long time, right? This small record has sold double platinum sales."
"Double platinum? That should be of good quality, I'll buy one! Thank you!"
Xu Zhengdao, who paid for a record, although he is no longer familiar with the two songs in the record. But the opportunity to relive this familiar voice still feels very memorable.
According to the Xiangjiang music circle, a platinum record can only be considered if it sells more than 50,000 copies. And double platinum, naturally, the record sales reached more than 100,000. Normally, if the record can sell so many singers, it can be regarded as really famous.
When the bodyguard convoy escorting Xu Zhengdao arrived at the record company, the little girl sitting at the front desk of the company was also scared when she saw the bodyguard getting out of the car. But she knew that these people must not be offended.
From the face of the front desk, it could be seen that she was afraid, but Xu Zhengdao could only smile bitterly: "Are you Mr. Chen here?"
"Hello, may I ask who you are? Looking for us Mr. Chen, is there anything you can do?"
"Well, it's my fault, the company has been around for so long, and I haven't been here once. Call you Mr. Chen, and say that I am Yan Wu. During this time, are there a lot of people who come to the company to find your Mr. Chen?"
"Ah! You're the chairman, I'm so sorry! Our Mr. Chen is in the company, Yan Dong, please come here!"
waved his hand and asked the bodyguard to sit in the living room or stay in the car and wait for him, and Xu Zhengdao also came to the office of Chen Fangyi's husband Chen Xingming. Seeing the front desk knocking on the door, Chen Xingming was still a little surprised, and when he saw Xu Zhengdao, he hurriedly got up.
He said apologetically, "Yan Sheng, why are you here? I'm so sorry I didn't even go down there to greet me."
"There's no need to be so polite, if you really want to say sorry, it should be me. Since the establishment of the company, except for meeting you twice in the film and television company, I have not been to the record company once. If there's anything wrong, please be considerate."
"Yan Sheng, you are too polite. It should be said that I didn't do my job well, and I was embarrassed to report my results to you!"
"Really? But I've heard that Yung Tsai's record sales this time seem to be quite good!"
"Yes! Judging from the current sales volume and market feedback, I am afraid that it is expected to exceed the sales of the four platinums."
"I don't know much about the record industry, four platinums is 200,000 records, is that a lot?"
In the face of Xu Zhengdao's inquiry, Chen Xingming could only explain with a wry smile: "Yan Sheng, the price of records is relatively expensive, and those who are willing to buy are basically loyal fans. The sales of four platinums are really not reached by few singers in the music industry at present."
"So, with this album, Yung Tsai can finally become popular?"
"Hmm! He hasn't been in the company for a while, and he's following his insiders everywhere to do publicity, which is also a publicity strategy to boost sales!"
"Okay! What about the Seven Boys?"
"The album has been recorded almost, but I have discussed with him that I want to postpone the release. Because at present, Rong Shao is still in the list of publicity. If he releases an album, it is easy to form internal friction, and Qizai agrees with my idea."
"It's really necessary for you to do this. Is Qizai in the company?"
"Yes, when I have time recently, he will come to the company to practice singing. Although he lacks stage experience, his voice is excellent. As long as there are a few good songs, I think he will soon be recognized by fans and the market."
"By the way, there's a female singer in the company, right?"
"Yan Sheng is talking about Amin, right? She has also been practicing singing recently, and although her singing skills are still a little young, her potential is very good. It's just that in the current situation, when she finishes recording the album, I'm afraid she won't be able to release it until early next year."
"It's okay! She has just graduated, and she will officially become an adult next year. Practicing more will make her walk more steadily."
"Thank you Yan Sheng for your understanding!"
Waiting in the singing room, seeing Zhang Qizai who was practicing songs, Xu Zhengdao also knew that waiting was the hardest. Especially when Zhang Qizai saw Zhang Guorong and became famous one step ahead of him, he must have more pressure and thoughts in his heart.
It's just that when Zhang Qizai saw Xu Zhengdao, he was also surprised and hurriedly saluted: "Yan Sheng!"
"Qizai, can you tell us how you feel now? Can't wait? Still feeling pressured?"
In the face of Xu Zhengdao's outspoken inquiry, Zhang Qizai thought about it and did not hide it: "I am a little anxious, but I am not in a hurry to release an album, but I feel that my current strength does not seem to be ready to go on stage.
As for the pressure, especially seeing that Brother Yung's record sales are so high, I am worried that the records I have recorded may not be able to reach the same heights as him. When the time comes, I will feel guilty for disappointing the company."
Hearing this, Xu Zhengdao smiled and said, "Qizai, even if you release an album, it will be your first album. To put it simply, you are a rookie singer. Even if your record can be sold for a platinum medal, Mr. Chen must be happy, right?"
"Yes! Qizai, if you want to reach the height of Rong Zai, I'm afraid you will have to sharpen for two years and have a few more albums. After all, before coming to the company, Yung Tsai had already released two albums, and although the sales were not very good, fans recognized him."
Thinking of Zhang Qizai's lack of stage experience, Xu Zhengdao thought for a while and said, "Mr. Chen, is there a reliable song hall, since Qizai lacks stage experience, then provide a stage for him to feel the atmosphere in advance.
Staying in the singing room every day, I'm afraid I won't be able to practice anything, so it's better to let him go to the song hall and make a cameo appearance as an assistant singer, which can not only accumulate stage experience, but also let him learn how to deal with the audience. Qizai, would you like to give it a try?"
"I do!"
"Mr. Chen, you are responsible for arranging the venue, presumably with your connections, it should be fine, right?"
"No problem!"
"That's it! On Qizai's side, I will arrange for two security personnel to secretly protect him. Although I have never been to a dance hall, I do know that some dance halls are chaotic. I'm more at ease when there are security guards behind me."
"Thank you, Yan Sheng!"
"Don't worry! Good food is not afraid of late, as long as you are willing to work hard, I believe that your future achievements in the music world will not let you down. Don't feel ashamed to go to a song hall to sing, many singers have gone to song halls to sing before they became famous, right?"
"Yes, Yan Sheng!"
With Xu Zhengdao, the big boss, personally arranging, Zhang Qizai, who has suffered some gains and losses recently, also seems to breathe a sigh of relief. As the oldest of the six signatories, he was worried about his future.
It wasn't until this time that Xu Zhengdao talked to him again, and arranged a stage and security personnel for him, which shows that the boss attaches great importance to him. As long as the boss is willing to give him the opportunity, he will definitely seize it and strive to realize his dream of becoming a well-known singer as soon as possible!
