After failing the college entrance examination, he became a big star

Chapter 377 First Week Sales

After the weekend break, a new week comes.

Yesterday, the whole of Huaguo was clear and the temperature was moderate. But on Monday, the weather changed quickly. Large areas in the central and northern regions were covered by cloudy rain, and the temperature dropped a lot. However, the southern region was still clear and the temperature rose. It feels like returning to the beginning of summer.

The sudden sharp contrast between the weather in the north and the south seems to indicate something.
Snow Records.

Su Yaqing usually enters the company about ten minutes later than work time, and walks through a corridor to her exclusive lounge.

"Sister Lu, those people in the department are working in peace and order today, did the director give a password?" Su Yaqing gracefully took off the 3 yuan bag on her shoulder, and the corner of her mouth curled up in a teasing arc.

More than a dozen entertainment newspapers reported her negative news in two days on weekends. I thought there would be rumors in the company, but I didn’t expect that when I walked through the corridor just now, the two work areas were crowded, but they were all in their seats. What to do, what to do, is very different from the usual scene of chatting together in groups of three or five.

In Su Yaqing's mind, this must have been a topic of conversation. From this, it can be seen that the company still attaches great importance to her, and it should be so. Who made her the queen, the biggest face of the company!
Lu Guilan looked at Su Yaqing's little embarrassment and felt speechless. This woman has been in the circle for a long time, why is she still so "naive"?

She let out a breath and said, "On Saturday, Shu Zhen and the others went to look for Vice President Liao again."

Su Yaqing sneered, and said disdainfully: "Such a bitch Shu Zhen wants to fight with me, in the next life."

Lu Guilan ignored it, and continued on her own: "I don't know what we talked about. Anyway, after I came out, there was no more movement. I came to inquire in the morning. There was a lot of noise outside yesterday, but everyone in the company treated you Everything is avoided.”

After a pause, his tone became serious: "Yaqing, this is definitely not a gag order issued by the director or Mr. Luo. You should have heard a word called the calm before the storm."

No matter how stupid Su Yaqing was, she understood the meaning and couldn't help but change her expression.

Lu Guilan looked at her and said, "Luodibei originally said that he would go back to Shenzhen City on the weekend, but he came to the company early this morning, entered his father's office, and never came out again. Last night, the editor-in-chief Wang, who is at the forefront of entertainment, called me , told me very clearly that his boss already intends to make peace with Huacan, and I have also received definite news, and several entertainment newspapers also intend to make peace with Huacan, you must know that making peace is practical. It's a compromise. Next, the spearhead will be aimed at you. You have also seen the dozen or so entertainment newspapers before. In addition, Tao Liang, Mi Xue and other six singers in the company who have publicly criticized Li Kai under pressure from the company, I have long intended to stand up and publicly apologize to Li Kai."

Seeing that Su Yaqing's face became more and more ugly, and there was a hint of deep worry in her eyes, Lu Guilan didn't say any more, and after a moment of silence, she said again: "The key now is last week's sales list released at ten o'clock. Weekly sales will determine the attitude of many people."

After all, I added another sentence in my heart, thus deciding your and my fate!

Wager Records, General Manager's Office.

Before the sales report came out, Director Qi told Li Kai that he might raise the price again, and the unverified news revealed by Fang Qiong: there were already singers in the circle, and he offered 8 points to make two songs with Li Kai, and asked the boss Made a report.

Hua Chenglong lit a cigarette, leaned on the desk with one arm, was silent for a while, and said to himself: "Before, we opened 6 points, but here we are biting 4 points. Later, we raised the price to 7 points, and we let go." If it reaches 5 points, if it reaches 6 points, you must sign a guarantee agreement, and now you have to increase the price, at least 1 point, that is 8 points, and He Jingyun's singer share is only 8 points."

Director Qi understood what he said in seconds. Mr. Hua felt that Li Kai was too outrageous.

It is true that the sharing model is a special treatment for great songwriters. According to the default rules, 4 points for the three main titles is the top price. It is against the rules and cannot be used as a reference.

But now, Li Kai raised the price once, and Hua Ge gave in a step. As a result, Li Kai not only refused to give in, but also wanted to raise the price, in order to force Hua Ge to submit. It was too much, really too much!

A majestic tycoon, forced by a songwriter, if he still compromises, where will he lose face?

Of course, there are exceptions to everything, even in places like the entertainment industry where the reputation is so high, the key is whether it is worth it!

"Li Kai raised the price for the second time because the song "Better to Dance" airborne to the top of the two charts. Yes, based on this, the performance of the new album of the future girl will not be bad, but how high will the sales be? To what extent, I still have reservations."

Director Qi pondered for a while, and said: "For an album to explode into a real big sales, it is not enough to rely on only one song. The first hit is "Super Star". It’s no surprise that the publicity resources are booming for a while, but it’s hard to say how many fans are willing to pay the bill.”

After a pause, he continued: "Besides, in the recent period, more than a dozen girl groups have released films, and the results are not very satisfactory, which shows that the singing style of girl groups is not well recognized by the public, and it is far inferior to boy groups. band."

Hua Chenglong looked at Director Qi, a meaningful smile slowly appeared on his deep face, he shook his head and said: "Old Qi, you don't have to go around in circles with me, what do you mean, whether Li Kai's offer will be accepted or not? Future girls' album sales have the final say, right?"

Director Qi nodded without ambiguity: "Mr. Hua, Luo Yusheng's side, we have been procrastinating for a long time without making a decision. First of all, Jing Yun has a strong personal will, and it's not because we also have hesitation in our hearts, and Li Kai's offer is high. Whether it's low or not, that's not the key, the key is whether it's worth it, if it's worth it, even if you lose some face and offend some people, there's nothing you can do about it."

After hearing this, Hua Chenglong didn't express his opinion immediately. He took a deep puff of the cigarette, and then slowly exhaled the shredded tobacco. Then he hummed: "Wait until the sales list comes out. If the future girl's album can't reach the top of the list, then you can find Luo Yusheng. .”

A hint of hesitation flashed in Director Qi's eyes. At the top of the list, the previous week's sales table, Sunshine Band, and Tidal Group both broke the 20 mark, like two mountains, suppressing all other singers, including the king of heaven Zhao Chuanxiong.

The album of Future Girls is only released in the first week, and it has not yet been recommended by two new songs. It seems that the standard is a bit set to surpass two mountains.
But after thinking about it, if the future girl's album can't beat the two mountains, even if it doesn't mean that Li Kai's works lost to Luo Yusheng, at least it's not worth Hua Can's compromise.

You know, if you choose Li Kai, you will offend those who want to push Luo Yusheng to be recognized as the number one, and you will have to pay more than double the price of Luo Yusheng's works.

"Okay, follow Mr. Hua's wishes." After thinking through this joint, Director Qi's hesitation disappeared, and he nodded.

Shuteng Records is also the office of the general manager.

Wu Han frowned, tapped the table with one finger, and said slowly: "The promotional fee for Future Girl's album has already been raised to 250 million. At present, our Shuteng is only paying 30 according to the upper limit of the newcomer standard, and the rest is Put it on Huacan's side."

After a pause, he breathed a sigh of relief: "Now Huacan wants us to propose a follow-up subsidy standard. You are in charge of the accounts. You need to come up with a clear charter. Before 09:30, fax it to Huacan in writing."

The chief financial officer smiled wryly: "Hua Can didn't care about this before, it seems that this time, he has a lot of expectations for the future girl's album, and this is for Shu Teng to take profits."

After all, he put away his wry smile and thought about it for 3 minutes before he said: "Mr. Wu, let me give you a general idea. See if this works. If the first week's sales are more than 15, we will subsidize 30, and if it is more than 20, we will subsidize 60." Ten thousand, more than 25, a subsidy of one million."

Wu Han glanced at him: "What's more, what if it's taller?"

The chief financial officer's eyelids twitched. It's only the first week. Isn't the line of 25 high enough?You know, Murphy in March was only in the early 20 in the first week, and Ning Lan was only 11 in the first three days, but it has been a long time since he dared to declare the title based on this achievement. There is no album with more than 25 sales in the first week
However, since Wu Han said so, the chief financial officer did not object, and thought about it again, and then said: "If it is more than 30, a subsidy of 150 million will be given. If it exceeds 35, the shortfall of 220 million will be covered by Shuteng. "

After hearing this, Wu Han was silent for a while, then nodded, "Okay, then follow what you said, make a written form, and then fax it over."

time record.

In the office area, three youthful and charming girls, five girls with rock sugar sweethearts, their assistants, and two managers sat in a circle. .

Gong Rihong sighed: "Last Saturday touring the Guangzhou station, five singers held a concert on the same day, crowded together, and no one's box office exceeded [-]%."

Gu Wenjuan raised her eyes and said: "Bingtang Sweetheart's box office must be more than [-]%. To be honest, it's not bad. Our side is miserable. The magic city is on the same day as Murphy. The infield is more than half empty, and the stands are at most empty." With only [-]% of the audience, [-]% of the box office is not bad."

Gong Rihong knew that [-]% of the statement was a bit exaggerated, but [-]% must be less than [-]%. Normally, the two girl groups under the company had a natural competitive relationship. Not in the mood.

"Girl groups are getting worse and worse. I heard rumors that many record companies in the industry intended to form girl groups, but now they have put them on hold. Bingtang Sweetheart and Youthful Charm have not released satisfactory results. I don't know what's next. , Will the company continue to invest resources.”

There was a hint of worry in Gong Rihong's brows, and he struggled for a moment before saying: "The key now depends on the first week's sales of the future girl. If it is so prosperous and the final sales are only mediocre, then I guess, there will be more people in the circle." I have completely lost confidence in girl groups."

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere froze.

Everyone's expression became complicated.

From a rational point of view, they should look forward to the big sales of girls' albums in the future, so that the circle can re-emphasize girl groups. Under the general trend, they are the direct beneficiaries.

But from the bottom of their hearts, they don't want future girls' albums to sell well, especially Liu Susu, You Xiaoxia, and Deng Yaxuan.

Gu Wenjuan thought it over and said: "I estimate that the first week's sales of girls in the future will not be bad, but they will not be too high. Well, 15, it should be considered good."

After all, look at the young and charming three women.

Liu Susu interjected: "Sister Gu is right. After all, the girl group only had one platinum in the past. In the future, if the girls can reach one and a half platinum by default in a single month, they will already be very successful."

You Xiaoxia shook her head, "I think it might reach 20 to [-], and it's not impossible to break [-]."

A trace of hesitation flashed in Gong Rihong's eyes, then she looked at Deng Yaxuan and said, "Yaxuan, what do you think?"

Deng Yaxuan pursed her lips, and bit her teeth lightly: "'Better to Dance' airborne to No. 20 on the two charts, plus "Super Star" is already popular, I think there is a high probability that it will break [-]."

As soon as she said this, several assistants, including Gong Rihong, nodded slightly. Liu Susu and Gu Wenjuan's estimates were obviously low, or they were influenced by personal emotions, while Deng Yaxuan's estimate was more realistic.

It is an indisputable fact that Future Girl's album is popular, it just depends on how popular it is!
Deng Yaxuan paused, and suddenly added: "But it is absolutely impossible to exceed 25, and it is even more impossible to achieve the default triple platinum in a single month."

The tone was extremely complicated, and I don't know why.
On the other side, Li Kai had just entered the company, before he reached the office area, he was stopped by Tan Guangyue and dragged to the lounge.

"Li Kai, what is the sales volume of Future Girl's album last week?" Tan Guangyue rubbed her hands, her eyes full of hope and apprehension. Regarding the first and second titles of his album last week, Guan Ying went to the director four times until she got off work yesterday. , the director didn't even give an accurate word. Obviously, he was waiting for the first week's sales of the future girl.

Li Kai spread his hands to the sky like every time he was asked to estimate the sales volume: "How do I know?"

Guan Ying on the side, with a helpless expression, said: "I estimate that if it is conservative, it will be 15, if it is normal, it will be 20, and if it is optimistic, it may reach 25."

Assistant Wang Fang immediately nodded and agreed: "I think so too. If there is no accident, the base is 20."

Tan Guangyue looked at them and said, "To tell you the truth, I think so too, and I even think it's too low. "Better Dance" and "Super Star" are so popular, I don't think it's unusual to break 25."

Guan Ying smiled: "If it breaks 25, it will be the album with the highest sales since the change of the music scene, and it is even expected to reach triple platinum by default."

Her words were a bit half-joking, and she was obviously not optimistic about the future girl's album breaking 25 in the first week.

"Three platinum by default, if according to the previous singer level standard, one more double platinum will be able to go to the top line, um, seal an uncrowned queen." Wang Fang stuck out her tongue, also half-joking, obviously also Not optimistic.

Tan Guangyue also added: "Tell me to tell you, it's not impossible to seal the Tianhou regiment directly."

The two women were stunned, a little confused, so Tan Guangyue said seriously: "According to the latest singer's rating standard, an album can reach the top-tier."

The two women rolled their eyes violently, Tan Guangyue gritted her teeth: "It's not like I have never had four and a half platinum, just in case, just in case hahaha."

After talking about it, under the scornful eyes of the two women, Tan Guangyue couldn't hold back anymore, and was amused by her own cold joke.

The two women couldn't stop laughing.

Li Kai glanced at them, and also smiled, but it was different from their cheerful smiles. The smiles were a little reserved, as if they contained something, and in the slightly flickering eyes, there was a ray of hopeful light with ambition.

The regular department meeting is scheduled for a quarter past ten.

In the early ten o'clock, everyone walked into the conference room one after another.

When Li Kai, Tan Guangyue and others arrived, the conference room was already half full, Li Kai's appearance immediately attracted a lot of inexplicable eyes.

Li Kai has long been used to it, walked to his seat and sat down unhurriedly, with an expression of no surprise.

Opposite him, facing the three of SHF, on the left are the three youthful and charming girls, and on the right are the five girls with Bingtang Sweetheart. Li Kai glanced across.

When they met Li Kai's eyes, they avoided them in unison.

Li Kai thought it was very funny, so he couldn't bear it, so he laughed "puchi" and shook his head endlessly.

His laughter attracted everyone's attention again. He was nothing but SHF, with youthful charm, rock sugar sweetheart, and the faces of three men and eight women, all of a sudden became very embarrassed.

Five minutes later, everyone was assembled, and the four deputy directors walked in, followed by the secretary.

Dozens of people filled the entire conference room to the brim.

It was a quarter past ten, and the atmosphere became inexplicably tense. After another 2 minutes, the director's secretary flashed in first, and everyone stood up unconsciously. Then, under the focus of dozens of pairs of eyes, the suits Ge Guangqi in leather shoes walked into the meeting room with steady steps, and sat down at the main seat without looking sideways.

From the beginning to the end, Ge Guangqi was expressionless, but if you observe carefully, you will find that the corners of his eyes are twitching slightly, and there is a slight trance in his expression.

Ge Guangqi straightened his body, took out the folder beside him, took out the fountain pen from his pocket, and stroked his glasses. All the movements were not unnatural, but those who knew him would be keenly aware that today's Ge Guangqi is not the same as usual. different.

This old man has a neat personality, but he is a bit sloppy right now, as if he wants to use this to adjust his state!
"Meeting." Pushing away the folder, Ge Guangqi lowered his gaze, and there was a wave of fluctuation in his eyes, and then he quickly retracted, raised his head to look around, and paused on Li Kai's body. It took a long time, and many people noticed it. Turn your gaze to Li Kai.

"Cough, cough, cough!" Li Kai felt a little uncomfortable being watched, raised his upper lip with the back of his hand, and let out a dry cough. Ge Guangqi was slightly shocked, and quickly looked away. Although his movements were small, they were still watched by Qiao Li and the sharp-eyed people. He was looking straight, with a strange look in his eyes.

"Huh" Ge Guangqi let out a long breath, suppressing the myriad of emotions in his heart that are unknown to outsiders, and then opened his mouth: "Last week's sales list, ranked first is the album "Super Star" by the future girl group. In the first week, sales."

The voice paused, took a deep breath, and said: "391823."
