Huayu 1992, my entertainment era

Chapter 25 Competition, Explosion

On August 30th, Yang Yuying's "The Wind is Full of Love and the Water is Full of Smiles" was officially released in Guangdong Province.

Yang Yuying is considered a veteran singer in Guangdong Province.

His previous two solo albums, one cover and one original, both achieved very good results in Guangdong Province.

This makes her quite popular in Guangdong Province.

And this album "The Wind is Full of Love and the Water is Full of Smiles" is also quite good.

Therefore, as soon as her tape was released, it quickly gained favor from fans, listeners and orderers.

Two days after its release, the sales of this tape officially exceeded 50,000 copies, one day faster than Zhou Ziheng's "Wandering Song".

It was September 4th.

"Wandering Song" has been released for six days, and the order data in Guangdong Province is 70,000 copies.

"The Wind is Full of Love and the Water is Full of Smiles" was released for four days and the order data reached more than 60,000.

In comparison, the two sides are basically at the same level.

Whether it is Pacific or New Era, or Zhou Ziheng or Yang Yuying, they are all trying their best to surpass each other in sales.

Not just in terms of sales.

The same is true on the radio charts.

As early as mid-August, after "Wandering Song" began to be broadcast on radio stations, this tape, with the promotion of Pacific and radio stations, achieved remarkable results on major music charts.

As of the end of August, when "Wandering Song" was released, the five most popular songs on the tape, "Wandering Song", "New Working Ballad", "Nine-Nine Daughter's Red Wine", "Outside the Window" and "September 9th Wine", were all ranked in the top 20 on the more authoritative and well-known radio station charts in Guangdong Province.

Especially "Wandering Song", with the blessing of the tape of the same name, this song ranks the highest.

It even reached number five on the Sound of Music radio station.

Since the promotion was earlier than that of "The Wind is Full of Love and the Water is Full of Smiles" and lasted longer, it had quite some time to ferment.

Therefore, although "The Wind is Full of Love and the Water is Full of Smiles" relied on good reputation and Yang Yuying's previously accumulated popularity, its sales quickly caught up after its release.

Moreover, the radio station began to allocate a lot of exposure resources that originally belonged to "Wandering Song" to "The Wind is Full of Love and the Water is Full of Smiles".

But on the radio charts, "Wandering Song" still has an overall advantage.

In order to maintain this advantage.

Also to increase publicity.

On September 4, Pacific contacted Yangcheng Evening News and put Zhou Ziheng on their front page headline.

This was the first time that Zhou Ziheng made headlines in a major media outlet, although the focus of the report was on "Wandering Song."

Although he was also reported by the media when his song "Wandering Song" was broadcast on the radio and attracted a lot of attention.

Even the Yangcheng Evening News reported it.

But these reports are mostly in the corners of newspapers or in a small column in the supplements.

"Yangcheng Evening News", what is this?
This is the only newspaper in Guangdong Province that can be compared with the Southern Daily, the first newspaper in the South.

Because its reporting focuses on families, publishing citizen newspapers, and serving a well-off society.

This makes its readership very comprehensive and its audience very broad.

As for entertainment newspapers.

It is currently one of the best in the mainland.

Being featured in this newspaper almost means that you are a top-notch figure in the entertainment industry in the South, or even the entire mainland.

As a newcomer, Zhou Ziheng certainly cannot be considered as the best in the mainland.

Although his tapes are selling well now, he is just starting out, so if you really want to count, he is just second-rate.

He was able to appear in this newspaper mainly thanks to Pacific Audio and Video.

When it comes to the rise of mainland pop singers, Guangdong media has made an indelible contribution.

At this time, the Guangdong media was the mainland media at the forefront of entertainment.

At the same time, they also have a strong sense of priority.

While reporting on Hong Kong and Taiwan stars, they also pay close attention to mainland China's own rising stars.

They have been actively working to create their own big stars, with Yangcheng Evening News being the most prominent.

Whenever there are potential new stars emerging in the mainland or Guangdong Province, they will actively promote them.

Among the many record companies in the mainland that have cooperated with them, Pacific is the one they favor and support the most.

As early as the 1980s, when Pacific Audio and Video held the Skylark Awards, it received strong support from the Yangcheng Evening News.

In later life, Zhou Ziheng once saw such a report while reading some music materials.

The interviewer of the report was Liu Zhiwen, who served as deputy manager of Pacific in the 1990s.

When Liu Zhiwen was interviewed, he recalled: "In the evening party and flower section of Yangcheng Evening News, there were at least three or four articles introducing Pacific singers and cassettes every month."

He even jokingly called himself an "extra-staff reporter" of the Yangcheng Evening News. Sometimes he would write articles by himself, and all the night editors at that time knew him.

Liu Zhiwen, who works for a record company, can write articles for his company's singers in the Yangcheng Evening News.

You can imagine how good the relationship between the two sides is.

It’s also because of this relationship.

When Pacific Audio and Video was determined to promote "Wandering Song", it was not surprising that the "Yangcheng Evening News" put Zhou Ziheng, a newcomer, on the headlines.

And it turns out that Pacific did nothing wrong.

The tape "Wandering Song" is worth their huge investment.

After the report of Yangcheng Evening News came out, we took advantage of the momentum of Yangcheng Evening News.

The influence of "Wandering Song" exploded.

Although the New Era doesn't want to admit it.

But the fact is that "Wandering Song" has a wider audience.

It is also strongly recommended by Yangcheng Evening News.

This led to the tape "Wandering Song" becoming a huge hit in Guangdong Province in the following days.

Zhou Ziheng's singing can be heard everywhere in the streets, train stations, barber shops, and even from the loudspeakers in some courtyards.

Along with the sound of the tape "Wandering Song" being everywhere, there came a large number of orders.

The entire Guangdong Province, big cities, small counties, big wholesalers, and small shop owners all called the Pacific Ocean.

The purpose of every call is to place an order for "Wandering Song".

Three hundred and seventy thousand.

Excluding orders from other provinces, the order volume in Guangdong Province for the whole month of September was 370,000 sheets.

This data directly broke the order and sales data of original albums from the mainland in Guangdong Province.

At the same time, this tape also ranks high in the Guangdong Province ordering data list, which includes singers from Hong Kong and Taiwan.

For a newcomer, the first tape immediately broke a record.

And the order volume for this tape is so huge.

This made Zhou Ziheng, the singer and songwriter, extremely popular.

People from White Swan, New Era, and even China Records began to contact him frequently, hoping to poach Pacific Records.

At the same time, because of the popularity of "Wandering Song".

Zhou Ziheng also received a large number of commercial performance invitations.

Cut the ribbon for the building.

Sing at large evening parties.

Being a guest at large-scale political events will liven up the atmosphere.

Zhou Ziheng was dazzled by the various invitations.

Besides making him dizzy, it also made him more energetic.

Because, this is all money!

Behind every invitation comes a very considerable and good commercial performance fee.
