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

Chapter 580 Playing big cards at the negotiating table

Last week, 20 singers released videos, 2 singles, and 18 albums. A total of 38 songs were recommended for this week's two charts, more than double the guaranteed number of 16 songs.

In recent years, the average number of new songs recommended for the two charts has been in the range of 19 to 22.

This also means that it is much more difficult than usual for Shu Zhen's album No. [-] and No. [-] to win the No. [-] round of the two charts, and the gold content is naturally much higher.

At this point, even if it is to risk the disapproval of the world and sing mourning publicly in disregard of the default rules in the circle, it will not help the matter.

Just like back then, when Li Kai’s first single was preheated for promotion, many people in the circle stepped up and squashed it under the tug of caring people, but when the first week’s sales came out, an astonishing 23 copies were released. The sales volume shrank all of a sudden, and the turbidity was swept away.

Because the song is already popular, belittling it will not change the love of the fans, it will only increase the exposure of the song and make the song more and more popular.

To suppress the sales of Shu Zhen's album, the most effective way is to use crowd tactics to divide the record market as much as possible.

Ever since, since 20 people released the film last week, the number of people who posted the film this week reached 18 again.

The group was together for two weeks, with a total of 38 records, like a big cake, usually shared by 5 people, but now it has become more than 10 people, or even more than 15 people.

The ocean, which was originally slightly blue, suddenly turned into scarlet.

It can be seen from this, this time, how difficult is it for Shu Zhen to succeed in being named empress?

At least half of the record companies in the industry are determined, even determined, to pull her down.

Otherwise, it is impossible to release so many more films. You must know that among the 38 singers who released films, Shu Zhen himself is not counted. There are only 19 singers who have announced that they will release films within these two weeks. Will be half.

on Monday.

Snow Records.

At the regular high-level meeting that started at 09:30, the air was filled with restlessness.

All the high-level executives are a little absent-minded. When a topic is brought up, what you say and what I say are all empty words without nutrition, and they digress when they talk.

After 1:[-], every minute, no less than three people raised their wrists to look at their watches, no less than three people looked at the wall clock on the wall, and no less than three people looked at the door of the conference room.

Seeing this, Mr. Luo simply suspended the discussion, closed the folder in front of him, held up the water glass with both hands, and drank tea silently.

A few minutes after ten o'clock, the secretary came in from the outside, followed by the eyes of all the executives, and walked quickly to Mr. Luo's side, offering a folder with both hands.

Mr. Luo opened it casually, his eyes fell on the sales list inside and he started to scan. From the beginning to the end, his face was quite calm, but when he handed the sales list to Vice President Liao, he sighed silently and shook his head slightly .

Vice President Liao was also similar to President Luo, his expression changed only slightly as his gaze wandered around, and when the sales report was handed over to the accountant, he shook his head and sighed.

Then, the sales table was circulated among the senior management one by one.

Last week's sales table.

First, Li Kai, 401038.

Second, Shu Zhen, 279182.

Third, the coolness strikes, 261928.

Fourth, Gong Lifeng, 172631.

Fifth, Anguilong, 132019.

Sixth, Qingchun Bixiu, 120192.

Seventh, Xin Danyuan, 101827.

Eighth, Rich Group, 92101.

Ninth, Yang Fan, 81021.

Tenth, Kong Yanyin, 73029.

Li Kai's album has been on the market for five weeks, and it has topped the chart for the fifth consecutive week. Compared with the previous week, it has dropped by a little more than 40%. Even so, it still holds the [-] mark.

The cumulative sales volume is 242 million copies, equivalent to a full moon of 215 million, reaching the default six and a half platinum.

It became the first album in the history of the domestic music scene to break the six-platinum mark, surpassing Ning Lan's record of domestic album sales last year by a full platinum, the undisputed number one album!

Shu Zhen ranked second. In the second week of the album's release, the sales volume was more than 27 and nearly 28. This is Shu Zhen's solo career as a solo singer, and she has achieved the best record in a single week.

However, referring to last year's albums that sold over 30 a week, it is a bit low.

Relying on his personal top-tier popularity, plus the warm-up publicity experience of the three main hits, plus the recommendation of new songs on the two charts last week, he stood out from the competition of nearly 40 songs, all inclusive of the sixth round, plus the announcement after the announcement The bonus should break through the 30 mark, and it is not uncommon to even break through the 35 mark.

The reason is exactly the two that Qiao Li pointed out, one, Li Kai, cool strikes, Gong Lifeng and Gong Lifeng's three albums, plus one piece sold more than 85 copies, forming a certain degree of suppression on the records of other singers, Second, the release of singers in the past two weeks is too intensive.

As far as the current situation is concerned, the success of the queen seal is at most five or five, and it is still necessary to wait and see.

Cool Strikes down to the third place. In the third week of the album’s release, the sales volume of more than 26 copies was slightly higher than that of the previous week. With this trend, Full Moon is very likely to break platinum!
Gong Lifeng's album was on the fourth week of its release, and it was also ranked fourth. After the piracy protection period, the diving was [-]%, within the normal range, but it was close to the upper limit.

The cumulative sales volume is 83 copies, two days away from the full moon, and it is infinitely close to 90 copies, reaching the bottom line of the default triple platinum!

An Guilong, who ranked fifth, dropped more than 98% of the album in five weeks after its release, with a total of 89 copies, which is more than 90 full moons, infinitely close to [-] copies, and can barely be counted as the default triple platinum.

Qingchun Bixiu and Xin Danyuan ranked sixth and seventh. Both albums were released in the second week, and their sales increased by 3 copies compared with the previous week. However, the former was released for four days in the first week, and the latter was released for three days in the first week. In terms of year-on-year conversion , the actual weekly sales have dropped a lot.

Not surprisingly, from the performance of the new songs recommended on the two charts last week, everyone has seen the weakening momentum of the Korean wave, and last week's sales data can be regarded as further confirmation.

The Ruiqi combination has risen two places from the previous week to the eighth place, and the sales volume of more than 9 copies is a bit tepid, which is a bit regrettable.

Yang Fan is a new male singer under Daishi Records. It is not bad to be able to rank ninth, but the sales volume of 6 copies in the 8 days of the first week is slightly inconsistent with the ranking.

Kong Yanyin, who is number ten at the end of last week, is not the singer with the highest ranking among the singers released last week, but she is the most popular. At the end of last year, the album surpassed Shu Zhen and Su Yaqing. Speaking of Shu Zhen, she didn't give up too much.

Coupled with the sky-high total cost of 400 million, the sales volume of more than 7 copies in the first week obviously failed to meet expectations.

Generally speaking, due to the excessive number of releases in the past two weeks, it has impacted the entire sales list, and the top ten are no exceptions. Even Li Kai's diving is more than [-]%, which is slightly higher than the norm.

It cannot be said that the small Hallyu is on the decline, but it is an indisputable fact that it has not returned to its former turbulence.

Among the top ten, Huaguo singers occupied seven seats, further regaining lost ground. Among them, the top four were occupied by Huacan's singers, and the total sales broke platinum. Less than a year later, the daunting Huacan storm came again !

"I said before that Huacan was hurting people with his base, what do you say now?" The sales list was returned to Mr. Luo, and Mr. Luo looked at it again, then looked around, and tapped his fingers on the table.

All the high-level officials looked at each other, seeing helplessness in each other's eyes.

The total cost of 400 million, even if the sales volume is one and a half platinum, counting the repayment period, there is no profit at all, at most it is to earn some popularity for the singer.

You know, even if the first-line top class wins a platinum, it is considered normal!
It's fine for individual singers to rush, but doing it in batches is almost a safe loss.

But who would have thought that Huacan's singers could sell like crazy, triple platinum used to be the standard for queens to be crowned kings, when did they become carrots and greens?

The record market has expanded, but it's far more than that!

Everyone knew in their hearts that all of this was thanks to Li Kai. Once this guy made a move, the Korean wave was blocked, and domestic singers were suppressed. It was Gaia's own effort.

It makes people lose their temper at all.

Mr. Luo saw everyone's thoughts, snorted, and said: "Cool is coming. When Gong Lifeng released the film, the singers in the same period were only in single digits. Now that Shu Zhen has released the film, they are swarming up. Who is doing this?" Hurtful folly?"

When this question was thrown out, all the high-level officials were shocked, with expressions of thought on their faces.

Mr. Luo raised his eyes, looked at Han Yuji, and said, "An Guilong was beaten by Li Kai, but at least he won triple platinum. If Xin Danyuan followed An Guilong to post a film, and was at the same time as Gong Lifeng, Qingchun Bixiu followed In the same period as Cool Attack, the sales volume increased by at least [-]%, and it may also drive the sales of Very Boys to go up. platinum."

"One ebbs and another, even if the momentum of the Little Hallyu can't return to before, it can still maintain its strength, at least it can establish its position at the top of the Huaguo music scene."

"But now, with nearly 40 singers posting videos in two weeks, maybe it can stop Shu Zhen from being crowned queen, maybe it can't, but what is certain is that the strength of the little Hallyu will be stopped."

He held the sales chart in his hand, and said word by word: "Shu Zhen's album in the same period surpassed Xin Danyuan's pure and beautiful Bixiu. What’s more, this, I’m Rolling Snow record is the biggest contributor.”

After all, the sales table in his hand fell on the table, not loudly, just a soft muffled sound, but it made the hearts of all the senior executives tremble violently.

Han Yuji was speechless, her face turned pale.

Cold sweat broke out on Vice Director Shen's forehead.

Vice President Liao lowered his eyes and his face was heavy.

Mr. Luo's words were really not an afterthought. Singer Xiao Han and Kong Yanyin attacked Shu Zhen together. It was the proposal of these three people. Luo always opposed it, but under the strong request of the three, he did not insist on blocking it.

In addition, they also used their contacts to contact a number of record companies to encourage their singers to release their films in advance.

It's hard to say whether Shu Zhen can be blocked now, but the Korean wave is hit again, and the popularity will inevitably drop again. At the same time, Kong Yanyin, a female singer trained as the future female number one, has also suffered heavy losses, but it is already an indisputable fact.

For the company, the direct and indirect loss of profits is huge, not even smaller than the loss of the bet last year.

Cannibalism, trapped in a cocoon!
Daishi Records.

It was also a high-level meeting. After the sales list was announced, Xu Qiaoling said: "Xu Lina originally released the film at the end of the month, but she abruptly mentioned that last Friday, last week sold 2 copies, and last week sold 4 copies. 5 days add up to 10, and the total cost is 6 million, and it is not bad to be able to recover one-third of the cost."

"The power band, originally released the film in July, abruptly mentioned last Friday, it was released for three days, and sold more than 1 copies, which is lower than Xu Lina's first week. The total cost of one million is at most a return of the cost. one third."

"Yang Fan's album, at the high-level meeting last Monday, I suggested that the original release time be postponed. Even Yang Fan himself had this wish, but everyone didn't agree. As a result, the sales volume in the first week was more than 8, ranking No. Eighth, given the current situation in the record market, it would be thankful for Man Yue to get the default platinum, but if it is delayed, under normal circumstances, at least one and a half platinum, or even double platinum."

Turning a blind eye to the ugly faces of the high-level executives, Xu Qiaoling sneered and said, "I know, I want to give an interview to help Shu Zhen, but you stopped me, so you think I'm turning my elbow outward, so what did I say?" You guys can’t listen to it, but I have a clear conscience, now the facts have proved that if you don’t listen to my good advice, you will suffer a loss right in front of you, if the company insists on going its own way, I will have to reconsider my promise to become a shareholder.”

After finishing speaking, he stood up and said, "I drank too much water, I have to leave."

Looking at the back of Xu Qiaoling walking away, the faces of all the high-level executives were ugly. After being taunted by a singer below, one can imagine their emotions, but they couldn't express themselves.

First, the sales table was there, and it turned out that Xu Qiaoling was right and they were wrong.

Second, Xu Qiaoling is the face of the company, a pillar, a cash cow, and a detached position. She plays a big role, and even Mr. Dai can't do anything to her, let alone turn her face on the spot.

Nisso records.

Also at the high-level meeting, Murphy also lost her temper. She is not only the company's number one female singer, but also the company's major shareholder, with more confidence than Xu Qiaoling.

"The collaboration with Singer Xiaohan is Rolling Snow and Huili Jing. Shu Zhen is going to be the queen of Singer Xiaohan. We Nisuo are joining in the fun. Now it's good. The two albums that were originally released at the end of June and the beginning of July are ahead of schedule. In addition to the original one, the three singers released the film within two weeks, not only pouring money into the sea for nothing, but also pushing the three singers into the sea, I don't understand, why is this?"

Looking at Murphy's cold face, Mr. Huang smiled wryly, and said slowly, "Murphy, don't get excited. We are doing this for your sake and Mingliang's sake. If you have one more superstar, you will have more competition."

Murphy shook his head resolutely: "At the beginning, Liu Mingliang's agent sent a message to Li Kai on behalf of the company, and Li Kai agreed in a face-saving manner. The album sold to six and a half platinum, and Zhang Zhang, a singer under Huacan, sold well. That's his ability, Shu Zhen After the announcement, Liu Mingliang and I did not accept interviews and did not publicly help out, it was our own responsibility, but Nisuo should never be a stumbling block."

Mo Fei stood up, glanced around, and said coldly: "The past is a fait accompli, and until the end of the month, I don't want the company to release any more singers. Don't forget, I am a shareholder of the company. If the company loses money, I also have portion!"

Leaving this sentence behind, he shook his head and walked away. The high-level executives looked at me and him, with extremely helpless expressions.

Murphy and Xu Qiaoling played big cards at the high-level meeting, but someone also played big cards at the negotiating table.

Li Kai got off work a quarter of an hour earlier and took a taxi to Huacan Group. The road was a little more congested than usual, so it was about ten minutes later than the promised time.

When passing by the door of the No. [-] conference room, I heard a high-spirited voice from inside: "Miss Dong, with all due respect, a one-for-one cooperation method is simply impossible. No matter how popular your company's singers are in Huaguo, they need to be repackaged in the Asian music scene, starting from scratch. However, our TY singers log in to Huaguo, and with a little publicity, they can directly release videos and create considerable popularity. income."
