When Li Lecheng received this message, he was very simple and said that he could talk. Then, the representative of Momoyo flew over the next day.

When the other party learned that his label actually included his own band, there were 4 bands, and he was very shocked.

Fat Bo came over and put forward conditions for Li Lecheng, they can give the European agent sales rights of all the band's works within 3 years to Baidai, but the condition is that all bands under Hongmeng also enjoy the same treatment.

There is another option, Baidai spent 20 million dollars to sign a record contract with the band Li Lecheng for two albums.

It's the lion's mouth again.

Momyo was naturally reluctant, but now he also knew that they couldn't do it either to buy the band's contract or the record, let alone the damn one-to-three agency distribution agreement.

After a final bargain, the conditions were reached, and the European release of the single was handed over to Momoyo, who still only received 20%, but they paid for the production of the disc in Europe.

If the cooperation is pleasant, Li Lecheng will give priority to the release of the next album in markets outside Asia to EMI under the same conditions.

Let's all examine each other.

After handing over the European distribution to Momoyo, Momoyo immediately began to fuel the fire, and although the single was still in demand, the DJs of the European Music Radio became the first to get the single disc and began to build momentum for it.

Radio singing propaganda is in full swing!

Don't let the popularity of the song fade when it is out of stock, not only can it not fade, but it will also explode upward!

"Wow, remember this prelude! It's really handsome and fried! ”

"It's exciting! The main song in the back is as lame as I imagined! ”

"Hey! Cloth guys! Do you know what is the hottest song in Europe right now? The band's singles have been sold for three times the price in continental Europe, and they are not necessarily available! You guys must listen to this song! ”

Congratulations, these DJs thought that this song was explosive enough and would definitely be popular all summer!

For a time, this mysterious band became the hottest topic in the global rolling circle.

"They just appeared out of nowhere! Does anyone know them? Or have you heard their live?"

“…… I heard that they do indie rock, what do you think of this label? I'll have to go to Chinatown and ask when I have time...... Anyway, it's Chinese, I can't understand this totemic complex text, but I heard that it means CHAOS! This is the name of the earliest deity in Greek mythology, representing a vague vision before the universe was formed. This is indeed a group of freaks chasing UFOs! ”

"It's a bunch of freaks chasing UFOs! As ridiculous and bad taste as it sounds, they actually put U FO on the album cover! Do you want the UFO to pick them all up and dissect them?! ”

"How can there be a band called ALok Band?! It's supposed to be called Amok (murderer), how cool, this is the name of a rock band, a difference of one letter, it's all stupid! But...... Fuck those teens love it! Those rock stars are stupid and crazy people! ”

"Listen guys! This band is going to be amazing! This song is not stupid at all! An exotic band from the East, entering the Western market, they need a grand opening! Very smart decision, isn't it? ”

"I think they may have been influenced by the Iron Maiden in our country! But I have to say, they put together the keyboard and guitar very well! Just listen to that intro and know they're going to be a big band! ”

……

The most realistic is the record store, where they will loop a new song that is worth recommending, and most of the record stores in Europe have started playing that song very tacitly.

Not only record stores across the UK have put up their UFO posters with the same style as the cover, and the UFO casts a cone-shaped pillar of light, and there are five figures standing below them with strange poses reaching out towards the UFO!

However, The Final Countdown, which has been a hit on major radio stations, is scarce in the market!

On the first day of the physical disc release in Buenos Aires, the store was packed, and it quickly turned into a large queue scene with strong sales, and then because it was an indie band, many record stores ran out of stock on the first day! When fans who wanted to buy it learned from radio stations and record stores that this indie band was completely self-produced and sold, and even the record company was its own, according to the usual urine nature of independent records, they simply could not afford to stock up in large quantities, and their singles were rushed even more fiercely!

The distribution department of EMI laughed and said nothing, they didn't say that EMI was actually directly responsible for the suppression of the European version of the CD, it was all propaganda!

However, the energy of this single completely exceeded their expectations!

As a result, after the first week of release, the results were announced, and it directly rushed to the seventh place on the official OCC singles chart of Buenos Aires!

……

The news of the big hit in Europe spread to North America at the same time.

Because Momoyo in Europe took the lead, Atlantic Records in North America immediately heard the news, and as soon as the song reached the top of the charts in Buenkien, it came to the door.

At this time, the 10,000 discs in North America had just been sold out. Although it does not sell as well as in Europe

Atlantic Records, a subsidiary of Warner Music Group in North America, is an independent label known for its R&B, rock and jazz music.

"Give it to them, isn't it cheap Warner?" Li Lecheng has a prejudice against Warner, and although Fat Bo persuaded him to agree, he still didn't want to let go.

But when Warner's people came over, he asked a very middle two question: "You have a strong national sports atmosphere over there, do you think this song is very suitable as a sports competition song?" ”

This provided them with a sales idea, but because of this, it was more difficult to talk about the increase, and finally finalized the same agency contract as Momoyo. However, Atlantic Records did not show strong intentions like EMI to buy their contracts, and they did not rule out in-depth cooperation with outside labels.

Thanks to the excellent impression established in European radio stations, this disc was not as popular in North America as it was in Europe in the early days, but it was also quite popular, and UFOs and sports songs were all elements that were quite recognized by the market.

Atlantic Records is still very energetic, and Europe is also gaining popularity, and many professional sports competitions and radio stations have begun to introduce the song.

Some record stores that were the first to get the goods didn't wait to open the next morning, and went straight to the sale the night before.

In the midst of the hustle and bustle, countless media and music magazines wanted to interview the band but couldn't find anyone, but the band itself was like a ghost and never appeared in public! Countless media want to know their true faces, and fans want to see the scene, but there is no way to find their way!

Curved

A young man named Zhang Yusheng has just bought the single The Final Countdown recommended by Western Music Radio from a record store.

He had just been admitted to college and would be a college student in a month's time. Since middle school, he has been very fond of hard rocking and singing, but he has no opportunities to express himself, and rock and roll is a very niche hobby at this time.

If you go to university, you might be able to find a favorite friend and start doing a lot of things you like......

He ran six or seven stores to find the goods, and when he ran home excitedly, it was already 10 o'clock in the evening, he slammed the door, took out the vinyl record from the cover, put it on the machine, and turned the stereo to the maximum!

He would never do such an unruly thing at night. But now I can't take care of it!

The radio DJ said that this is the first single of the first Chinese rock label! And the lead singer and lead guitarist are all from a Hong Kong Island rock band that he liked very much!

When they disbanded half a year ago, he was very disappointed, after all, it was the first Chinese rock band in the sense of the word......

As soon as the prelude came out, his whole body was ......!

Even if he had heard it on the radio show, it still made him crazy when he heard it!

The music is so high!

The blood in his whole body began to boil!

The parents in the next bedroom were a little tired, and they were awakened by the music, and they roared and knocked on his door, but they couldn't open it!

"Open the door!" Zhang's father knocked on the door and found that he did not respond at all. Zhang's mother threatened and shouted: "Crowbar! Where's the crowbar! ”

Just when his parents were thinking about whether to really get a crowbar, Zhang's father changed his mind: "What song is playing now?" Hey, how about we go in and confiscate his saucer? I want it, I'm going to take it to my stereo, I like this song, it's a good taste. ”

Zhang Yusheng sat on the bed and listened to the song, looking confused...... Sounds good, but ...... Why is this song on the B side different from what he imagined???

It's a Cantonese lyrical rock song, but it's more pop.

……

Overseas, the rock boys who bought the disc rarely cared about the Cantonese song on the B-side, and often heard it, but at least, they heard it.

But in the Chinese-speaking market, especially on Hong Kong Island, the popularity of "Empty Bench" on the B side is not inferior to the A side...... The two songs on the AB side are very worthwhile, and the sales are not inferior to beyond's first album, of course, one is just a single, the other is an album, not a commodity, and the price is much worse, so it can't be compared so much......

However, everyone in Hongmeng laughed and said that Li Lecheng always saved face.

Li Lecheng concentrated on filming during the period, and he didn't accept the promotion of new songs and various interviews, because he knew that it was just a warm-up stage. The sales of this song have not officially exploded, and everything has just begun......
