Huayu 1992, my entertainment era

Chapter 24: First day sales data, the rival is coming

"Li Fu, how is the order status of 'Wandering Song'?"

In the afternoon, Liu Zhiwen, who was more concerned about the tape of "Wandering Song", came to the Pacific Distribution Department and went straight to the distribution manager Li Fu.

The distribution department is very busy at this time.

Employees in the entire department are either answering calls from orderers or calling deliverymen.

Li Fu was checking a data report in his hand.

Hearing what Deputy Manager Liu Zhiwen said, he stood up hurriedly, handed over the report in his hand, and said:
"It's very ideal. This tape, as expected, may become a hit tape this year."

Liu Zhiwen took the report and took a quick look at it.

This sight immediately made him look delighted.

Twenty thousand.

Including the 10,000 copies distributed in the early stage, this tape sold 30,000 copies immediately after it was released.

Of course, this does not mean that "Wandering Song" sold so many tapes to listeners in one day.

This was purchased by the orderer.

At that time, the distribution model in the mainland has always been that after the record company produces a record, it will recommend it to the distributors below. If the distributor believes that this tape can make money, he will order it from Pacific at a wholesale price of six yuan.

And the 30,000 tickets were only sold in Guangdong Province, and that was only on the first day after the sale.

This data is already very impressive.

Thirty thousand copies were shipped on the first day, and Zhou Ziheng soon learned this data.

After knowing this, his slightly nervous mood, which was originally worried that the tape would be well received but not popular, was quickly calmed down.

The order-makers are all shrewd people.

Most of them own their own stores and can observe the sales of records most directly.

If the record tapes had not received a very good response from the customer base, or if a lot of people had not come to the store to buy them, these order-makers would generally not place large orders.

Indeed, returns are currently allowed for wholesale tapes in the mainland.

If the tapes ordered by the subscribers cannot be sold, the record company will allow them to return them.

However, there is no regret medicine in the world.

If you return an order after placing it, the original price will not be refunded, but some amount will usually be deducted by the record company.

The specific amount depends on the different records.

Anyway, if a record cannot be sold in the market, the record company will have to bear the production costs of the tape and various promotion expenses.

Distributors who placed orders also had to pay the price for their carelessness in ordering large quantities of a tape that was not selling well.

Therefore, the fact that the tape "Wandering Song" received more than 20,000 orders on the first day of its release fully demonstrates how popular it is in the market.

And the facts also proved that Zhou Ziheng's idea was not wrong.

In the next few days, the orders for the tape "Wandering Song" began to increase.

In addition to the initial merchants who began placing large orders, some shops and bookstores that had not originally sold this tape also began placing orders on this side of the Pacific.

And that’s why.

This is because those listeners who originally liked this tape when they listened to it on the radio finally discovered in large quantities that "Wandering Song" was available on the market.

When these people found out that this record was available on the market, they immediately joined the buying queue.

One...Two...Three...

As more and more people joined in buying the tape, the sales of the tape became better and better.

The song "Wandering Song" began to be heard in the streets, barber shops, clothing stores, etc. "Wandering Song" has already exploded into a trend of becoming a big hit and sweeping across Guangdong Province.

In this situation, how could the other orderers sit still and immediately start placing orders for this tape.

In just three days, the 50,000 tapes that Pacific had originally prepared were all snapped up by the orderers. Judging from this momentum, not counting the subsequent order meetings, there will be a large number of orders in Guangdong Province alone.

Don’t underestimate Guangdong Province at this time.

As a province with a population of 60 to 70 million.

It is also a major economic province in the mainland.

The record market in Guangdong Province is still extremely huge.

It is no exaggeration to say that at this time in Guangdong Province, as long as your record can attract people, even if it is one million copies, the province can consume it.

So, after learning that the 50,000 stocks originally prepared were sold out in three days.

There was immediate big movement on the Pacific side.

Liu Zhiwen personally issued an order, instructing Pacific's factory to begin full production and stocking up in order to supply the orders from the orderers.

but.

After the release of "Wandering Song", there were mostly good news.

But it's not without its bad aspects.

On the evening of the 28th.

New Era Audio and Video sent the tape album "The Wind is Full of Love and the Water is Full of Smiles" by their singer Yang Yuying to major radio stations.

We also contacted newspapers and television stations to promote this tape.

As I said, Guangdong Province has limited publicity resources.

If you take one, I will have one less.

The intervention of New Era Audio and Video has, to a certain extent, cut off some of the resources of "Wandering Song" on radio, television and newspapers.

Originally, the songs played on major music radio stations some time ago were basically from Zhou Ziheng's tape "Wandering Songs".

Even those guys from Hong Kong and Taiwan gave in to Zhou Ziheng because the radio stations wanted to support local music.

But after Yang Yuying's "The Wind is Full of Love and the Water is Full of Smiles" was broadcast on the radio, it immediately squeezed out a lot of Zhou Ziheng's playback resources, causing the playback frequency of "Wandering Song" on the radio to drop sharply, and it only maintained a position slightly higher than that of other singers.

Moreover, after the tape "The Wind is Full of Love and the Water is Full of Smiles" was released on the radio, it also gained very good reputation.

Both the media and the audience praised this tape highly.

Is the album "The Wind is Full of Love and the Water is Full of Smiles" of good quality?

Of course!
Even if Zhou Ziheng looked at it from the perspective of later generations, the quality of this tape was very high in the mainland in the 1990s.

In the 1990s, it became the first original album tape from mainland China to sell over one million copies.

It would be unreasonable if it didn't have something special.

Just say it!
This tape album is a rare all-golden hits album.

Yes, all hits.

As far as Zhou Ziheng knows, after this tape was released, the songs in it, such as "Tea Mountain Love Song", "Sweet Little Sister", "Peach Blossom Luck", "Wind Full of Love and Water Full of Smiles", "Farmer's Girl", and "Heart to Heart Hand in Hand", etc., were all widely sung in the mainland.

Especially the three songs "Tea Mountain Love Song", "Little Sister Sweet" and "Peach Blossom Luck", which directly became the classic sweet songs of a generation.

Therefore, when Zhou Ziheng learned that Yang Yuying's tape had not only begun to be promoted, but the release date had also been moved forward to the 30th, he immediately knew that the rival of "Wandering Song" had arrived.

Not an easy opponent yet.
