Huayu 1992, my entertainment era

Chapter 51 Why think so much? Just do it.

Xu Jianqiang glanced at Liu Zhiwen who was speaking above and whispered:

“Don’t be fooled by the fact that the major record companies are fighting to the death, as if they want to kill each other.

But in fact, you have to know that we are all brothers.

Brother units, it’s not difficult to get the tapes they are producing.

Do you think that only this side of the Pacific Ocean has tapes produced by China Records?
Maybe, the China Record Corporation is also listening to our album "Golden Boy and Jade Girl" right now!"

"So, the so-called strict precautions are just empty talk, and the major record companies are actually sieves?"

Zhou Ziheng looked strange.

He understood why piracy would be so rampant in the future.

With this precautionary awareness, if you don’t pirate, who else will you pirate?

I'm afraid there are even quite a few people who embezzle from their employers.

This is not just his imagination.

But he had seen news about this in his previous life.

It is said that Tong Sulan, the boss of Guangdong Cailing, the largest importer of Hong Kong and Taiwan tapes in the mainland, is the largest pirate in the mainland.

While introducing and distributing Hong Kong and Taiwan tapes, she also turned around and started pirating them, almost fleecing all the Hong Kong and Taiwan singers.

If she had not been discovered in 1996, she would have continued to earn money for at least another seven or eight years.

Thinking of this, Zhou Ziheng became secretly alert in his heart. VCD will be released starting from the second half of next year.

VCD is not like tape.

It is difficult and costly to pirate tapes, so the cost outweighs the benefits.

But VCD is different.

Once this thing comes out, the mainland will usher in an era of piracy.

If you don't want to be fleeced, you must be careful when buying VCD records in the future.

"Everyone, please speak freely about how you think we should deal with the two tapes on the record. There is strength in numbers. Let's speak out for everyone to refer to."

At the front of the conference room, Liu Zhiwen looked at the people below and asked.

"I have a good idea!"

In the middle, a young man raised his hand.

"Wang Liang, if you have any ideas, tell me!" Liu Zhiwen's eyes lit up.

"I can talk to my dad and ask the Sound of Music to stop promoting the songs on the album..."

The young man spoke with confidence.

However, before he could finish, Liu Zhiwen's face darkened and he interrupted him, "Fuck, you might as well ask your father to ban the entire China Record Corporation."

"That's not impossible..."

"That's enough!" Li Qiang, who was sitting in the front row, stood up and said, "Boss Liu, I really admire your foresight.

But I don't think we need to do so many things.

Instead of thinking about those useless things, why don't we discuss and invest more money together to maximize the promotion effect.

We have the resources for promotion. With the quality of our tape, why should we be afraid of a real fight?"

Hearing this, Zhou Ziheng in the audience couldn't help but give Li Qiang a thumbs up.

This is actually what he thinks. Why think so much? Just do it.

The quality of the songs on the tape "Golden Boy and Jade Girl" is very good.

A bunch of songs that became famous in later generations, including "The Waves Remain", "Late Autumn", "Rain in the Heart", "Tell You Quietly", etc., are all on one tape.

It's not afraid of Hammer. Even if it faces "Xiao Fang" or "Wet Heart", it can still go head-on.

Of course, Zhou Ziheng knew that he could think so only because he thought from the perspective of future generations.

At this point in time, before the tape is even released, no one can guarantee whether or not the tape will be a big hit.

Liu Zhiwen himself is a relatively cautious person, so it is normal for him to lack confidence.

As for Li Qiang.

He dared to say "Just do it" because he was a big dog owner.

Well, there is indeed a lot of money in the current New Age record scene.

Almost all the money they earned in recent years is in the hands of the company, unlike Pacific, which either supports the establishment of TV stations or various other departments.

It is also because of the money that New Era dares to imitate the commercial singers in Hong Kong and vigorously package and promote its singers. …

Liu Zhiwen finally agreed to Li Qiang's proposal.

There is no way, the dominance of the tape "Golden Boy and Jade Girl" belongs to the new era.

Zhou Ziheng also found out about it recently.

Although this tape is claimed to be produced jointly by two companies.

But if you look at the songs in the tape, you will know that almost all of them are from the New Age.

Including "The Waves Remain", this song was also written by Chen Xiaoqi at the request of New Era in mid-year and has been kept in their company's music library.

Originally planned to give it to Mao Ning.

As a result, Zhou Ziheng suddenly appeared and made them change their plans. In the end, they replaced Mao Ning with Zhou Ziheng.

Since the dominant party of the tape is New Era, the words of New Era CEO Li Qiang cannot be ignored.

After discussion, Pacific and New Era came up with a plan.

It’s not really a plan.

Just spend money.

According to Li Qiang, radio stations are spending money, television stations are spending money, and other media are also spending money.

Try to get this tape heard by everyone.

Zhou Ziheng didn't know how much money was spent exactly; it was not something he could know.

All he knew was that in the following days, the tape of "Golden Boy and Jade Girl" was mentioned more and more frequently on the radio and television.

At the same time, he and Yang Yuying were arranged by Pacific and New Times to be interviewed by nine radio stations and photographed by three magazines in less than a week.

In addition to Guangdong, radio stations in other provinces, including Pacific and New Era, have also put in the effort.

The song "Heart Rain" was directly broadcast on radio stations in other provinces before the tape was released.

In a word, the rich are inhumane.

New Era and Pacific are truly inhumanely wealthy.

According to Zhou Ziheng's initial estimate, the two companies' direct investment in promotion should be no less than hundreds of thousands.

a few millions.

Hundreds of thousands in the 1990s were not a simple number; it was already a very large number.

And this is just propaganda.

And the effect.

The effect of spending money is naturally brilliant.

Until the tape is released.

All the major radio stations in Guangdong.

Facing the siege of "Xiao Fang", "Wet Heart" and "Bon Voyage".

"Heart Rain" managed to top the song request charts of seven or eight local Guangdong radio stations, including Voice of China, Southern Radio, and Shenzhen Radio.

In major radio stations in other provinces, this song also made it into the top ten of the local first-class radio station charts.

The popularity of "Heart Rain" inevitably boosted the order volume of the tape "Golden Boy and Jade Girl".

Before it was even released, the tape had received nearly 370,000 orders.

Of course, it was possible to get so many orders when the tape hadn't even come out yet and only one song was on the charts.

In addition to the strength of "Heart Rain" and the fact that the song itself is good.

Another important reason is that this tape is a song sung by Zhou Ziheng and Yang Yuying together.

The two tapes, "Wandering Song" and "The Wind is Full of Love and the Water is Full of Smiles", are still selling well in the market.

The two people's singing has spread everywhere.

The names of the golden boy and jade girl, Zhou Ziheng and Yang Yuying, have become the brightest names among mainland singers in 1992.

Both of them have sold over a million tapes before.

This is already a testament to their popularity.

The orderers all thought that this new tape co-produced by the two would definitely be a big seller.

So, one by one, they started placing orders before the tape was officially released.
