China Entertainment 1997.

Chapter 45
When he released a single last time, Cao Xuan was not well-known, so he could only choose to cooperate with Lan Qi and adopt a roundabout publicity strategy on the radio.

Today, Cao Xuan, who is already well-known in the mainland music scene, can be described as a shotgun for a gun compared to last year's publicity resources.

There is no need to say more about the radio station. With Jiang Yue as a "hostage" in hand, Cao Xuan doesn't need to worry at all.

In terms of TV, there was the last time we cooperated with "Following Love to the End". Cao Xuan and Jingtai have established some contacts. I dare not say more. The last two shows are not a big problem.

As for the newspaper media, Cao Xuan has made various interviews this year, and he has also met many newspapers and reporters.

Even with Cao Xuan's current fame and popularity, some related music or entertainment newspapers will take the initiative to help publish Cao Xuan's preparation for a new album, even if they don't pay for public relations.

The above are still Cao Xuan's personal resources. Warner, as the album partner, will not just watch and work.

After all, it is a well-known big record company. Even if it has not yet fully entered the mainland market, the publicity resources that can be mobilized are not comparable to Cao Xuan personally.

Otherwise, Cao Xuan would not be willing to make so much profit, and he could still find a large printing house himself to record and distribute the goods.

As for the album "Starry Night", Cao Xuan's opinion is to fill 80 copies, including 50 CDs and 30 tapes.

Last time "1 Reasons" sold over 60 copies, Cao Xuan felt that he could be bold this time, lest if it became popular, the embarrassment of Lan Qi would reappear.

However, the person in charge of Warner's contact with Cao Xuan felt that it was too risky, and was only willing to promise to fill 50 copies, and 30 of them were tapes.

After all, the cost of recording the album is borne by Warner. If the album cannot be sold if it is recorded too much, Cao Xuan doesn't have to pay a penny, but they will lose.

At a critical moment, Zhou Jianhui, the new head of Warner Bros., specifically asked for the master tape of "Four Stars".

After listening to "Dusk" and "Running", he immediately called the person in charge and asked him to agree to Cao Xuan's request for recording 80 copies.

And when he finished listening to "Fairy Tale", Zhou Jianhui immediately called the person in charge again.

"Don't 80, just fill in 100 million, yes, you heard that right, 100 million.

And most of them have CDs with MVs, and Taiwan Province also has to stock up. Believe me, the opportunity for the rebirth of the flying saucer has come. "

Zhou Jianhui was not satisfied with the phone call, so he flew directly from Taiwan Province to the capital the next day, and was personally responsible for the distribution of "Fantastic Stars".

And when he saw Cao Xuan in Baihua recording studio, the first sentence he blurted out was.

"How much are you willing to sign with Warners?"

"Mr. Zhou is joking."

Cao Xuan was at a loss and instinctively humbled himself, but Zhou Jianhui shook his head with a serious expression on his face.

"I really hope you can join Warner Bros. I heard about Nan Ren Bei Cao in Taiwan before, and I thought it was a joke at the time, but now I know I was wrong.

The Rolling Stones are now in full swing because of Ren Xianqi. If we at Warners want to revive the former glory of UFO, you are our best choice. "

Only then did Cao Xuan realize that Zhou Jianhui was not joking, and he hesitated for a moment before saying.

"Sorry, Mr. Zhou, I have no plans to join the record company for the time being."

"What about long-term cooperation?"

Zhou Jianhui was not too disappointed. He had studied Cao Xuan's materials before he came.

The personal creative ability is very strong, and there is no need to rely on the record company to help collect songs.

When he was a rookie, he dared to release a single independently. After he became famous, he quickly set up a personal studio, and he became prosperous. At first glance, he was not inferior.

So from the beginning, Zhou Jianhui didn't have much confidence in signing Cao Xuan to Warner. His real goal was to reach a long-term cooperation object with Cao Xuan.

To put it bluntly, I hope to make Cao Xuan a golden sign of Warner, attracting other singers to join.

Cao Xuan was a little moved by Zhou Jianhui's proposal, but did not agree immediately.

After all, if he signs a cooperation agreement with Warner, it means that his new album/single will be tied to Warner in the next few years.

This is not a trivial matter, Cao Xuan has to consider it carefully, at least he has to look at the sincerity and strength displayed by Warner this time.

Cao Xuan did not expressly refuse, but only said that he would consider it. Zhou Jianhui also knew in his heart that this matter would not be settled for a while.

The two briefly talked about the new album. As the host, Cao Xuan took Zhou Jianhui to find a good restaurant for him.

Cao Xuan intends to make contacts, and Zhou Jianhui single-mindedly won Cao Xuan, the "great talent". At the banquet table, the two sides talked very happily.

Zhou Jianhui also laughed and ridiculed. Last year, the Taiwanese media damaged Cao Xuan so badly. This year, I really want to see how they beat themselves up.

Cao Xuan is also looking forward to it, but he also understands that the possibility of this happening is too low.

After all, "deceiving oneself" and "memories of fish" are old traditions of Taiwanese media, which have remained unchanged for decades...

.........

And when Cao Xuan and Zhou Jianhui met, "Dusk" and "Angel's Wings", which were sent to the radio station to warm up, also began to exert their strength.

The time has come to April, and several songs that dominated the charts at the beginning of the year have gradually become less popular. Now the most active one is Naying's new album title song "Conquer".

The Spring Festival Gala and Wang Fei sang a song "Meet 98", which made Naying's popularity soar, and she faintly became the queen of mainland pop music.

Taking advantage of the remaining power, [EMI Records] behind Naying is determined to build Naying with all her strength, so that she can completely secure the position of the queen of the mainland.

EMI spent a lot of money and invited a number of well-known music producers to create a new album "Conquer" for Naying.

The songs on this album are of high quality.

The title song album of the same name song "Conquer", the Divine Comedy of Fighting, is also Naying's most widely circulated masterpiece.

The Spring Festival Gala hit "Meet [-]", and a special Naying solo was recorded.

There are also many excellent songs such as "No matter how bitter" written based on the relationship between Naying and Gao Feng, and "Wake up from a dream", "You Are My Man", "What Attitude" and "My Favorite Day".

In addition, Wang Feigan, the queen who is also under the [EMI Records], made the green leaves and personally helped Naying to harmonize.

It can be said that this "Conquest" is the album with the highest gold content since Naying's debut.

EMI and Naying are ambitious and hope to use this album to steadily enhance her status in the music world, and even catch up with Wang Fei.

The album "Conquest" is decided to be released on April 4, together with mainland Hong Kong and Taiwan.

At the end of March, EMI began to release "Conquer" and "Meet 3" to hit the charts.

In just one week, two songs began to reach the top of the major music charts, and "Conquer" has even begun to occupy the top of some charts one after another.

And at this time, a song "Dusk" came out halfway.

On April 4, "Dusk" and "Angel's Wings" made their first appearance on Beijing Radio.

On that day alone, Jingcheng Radio received more than a dozen on-demand calls about the two songs. After the two songs were broadcast by China Central Radio, the rate of song requests on the radio station soared rapidly.

On April 4, "Twilight" first appeared on China Central Radio's music charts, ranking No.8 at the beginning.

The next day, "Angel's Wings" also appeared on the CNR list, ranking No.12, while "Twilight" had reached the top six.

In mid-April, "Twilight" has repeatedly defeated strong enemies in the rankings, and its momentum is close to "Conquer".

"Twilight" is on fire!
