China Entertainment started from Nortel 96

Chapter 35 Preparation
Mr. Zhou had "bad intentions", so Qi Wei handed her over to Li Xiaoran to "deal with".

Let them both pull.

Qi Wei has to do his own thing.

Doing business and making money is the kingly way!

Women are just the condiments of life. If you have a successful career and money, why worry about not having women?
At that time, it will be no problem for several women to get along in harmony!
After filming the commercial and temporarily settling Mr. Zhou's affairs, Qi Wei will focus on the work of the new album.

Fast forward to the end of March.

After knocking on the door, Song Bin, the music director of the company, walked into Qi Wei's office and handed a document to Qi Wei.

This Song Bin was the drummer of Qi Wei Shengtian Banzi Band.

The band was meant to be improvised to do things on the cheap.

Now that Qi Wei has set up his own record company, he needs to produce and release his own solo album, which requires sufficient funds.

There is no need for the band to exist.

The band is now disbanded.

Of course, the disbandment of the band wasn't just because of Qi Wei.

Some people are very jealous when they see that the records are selling well and Qi Wei earns a lot of money. How can they remember that they begged Qi Wei to form a band in order to hug their thighs.

After the record was divided into part of the account, Qi Wei still generously gave each of them a monthly remuneration of [-], but some people still couldn't fill their desires, and felt that the charity was extremely unbalanced.

And some people are bewitched by other record companies because of their little fame after the record is sold out, and they even help other record companies to bewitch Qi Weilai for their own benefit.

That certainly didn't get him going.

There is also "Qian Jing" who is not optimistic about Qi Wei's own record company. Anyway, for various reasons, there are five members in the last band, and only drummer Song Bin is willing to join Qi Wei's record company.

It may be because he is older than others, so he is not willing to toss.

Of course, being older is also good, that is, Song Bin knows a lot, and he still has two talents in music.

So Qi Wei let him become the music director of his own record company.

Although the record company only has ten people including Qi Wei
After Qi Wei offered him a fixed salary of [-] a month and a high salary of extra dividends, he was naturally too kind to buy a bone horse with a thousand gold.

You must know that the monthly salary of an ordinary worker at this time is generally only a few hundred yuan.

At the same time, Qi Wei also promised him that when his solo album is successful and the company becomes bigger and stronger, he will help him produce and release his solo album.

After receiving such a promise, Song Bin's fighting spirit was completely aroused. Now he is paying attention to everything in the company, and he is not tired at all by himself as an envoy for several people.

With him, Qi Wei is much more relaxed, and only then can he take care of acting studies in school.

"This is the statistical result of the VCD player you asked the company to investigate, please take a look."

Except for Qi Wei, almost all the people in the company participated in the investigation under the leadership of Song Bin. In less than ten days, tens of thousands of people were interviewed and counted.

After seeing the statistical results in the investigation report, Qi Wei nodded in satisfaction.

After reading it, he said: "The penetration rate of VCD players is not particularly high, but it is an indisputable fact that more and more families own it. Multiplying it by the number of domestic families, this is definitely a very impressive number."

Song Bin still didn't understand the meaning of Qi Wei's words, and saw that Qi Wei was silent for a while and made up his mind.

Qi Wei smiled and asked, "I'm going to make a MV for every song in an album, what do you think?"

"Will this be too wasteful?" Song Bin asked Chi, a little unbelievable.

In today's market where tapes are the mainstay in the mainland, ordinary record companies release records like Qi Wei's "Sheng Tian Ban Zi", and rarely have MVs for songs.

Even making MVs for a few title songs is usually just a means of publicity.

"Of course it won't be wasted." Qi Wei said to Song Bin confidently: "Have you ever thought that the MV can be used as a selling point of the record?"

Said Qi Wei walked to the TV in the office, put a CD into the VCD player and played it.

It's the MV of "A Little Sweet", which was re-edited from the commercials with Gao Yuanyuan before.

The picture is very beautiful, listening to the song while watching the handsome men and women interacting is a double enjoyment of audio-visual.

There is a sense of substitution, and there is always a feeling of endless meaning after listening to it once.

Much better than just listening to music.

Song Bin finally figured it out now.

"No wonder you want to investigate the popularity of VCD players, you want to make VCD discs!"

"Correct!"

Qi Wei gave him a thumbs up and began to explain:

"The penetration rate of VCD players in the mainland is indeed not high, but the number of households owning them is still very considerable, and it has doubled over time. At this time, many pirates, like you before, did not notice this. , pirated or traditional videotapes, tapes, CD discs and the like.
So now, the VCD disc is a new track, a new track that not many people pay attention to”

Qi Wei knows very well that the piracy of VCD and DVD discs began in 1999.

Of course, the biggest impact is not the music industry, but the film and television industry.

It directly suppressed the ten-figure box office that the mainland was struggling to support to nine figures, and it was not until 2004 that it slowly recovered.

Therefore, before 99, these two years were regarded as a blank period, and the incomplete involvement of pirates would make VCD discs have a very good sales prospect.

Nowadays, even for popular albums, the sales of CDs in the mainland are generally not good.

Huo Mou’s father, who was made a joke by his ex-girlfriend, had a hit album "Big Sedan Chair", the tapes sold for hundreds of thousands, and the CDs were only in the early [-]s.

Qi Wei's "Shengtian Banzi" album has now sold more than 130 million copies, most of which are tapes, and the CDs have never sold more than [-] copies.

The reason is also very simple. The price of your CD disc is often [-] or [-], which is too expensive compared to the tape.

There are many people who want to buy cheaper pirated copies even with a ten-yuan tape, not to mention CDs that are several times more expensive?

Expensive is also expensive, and the value for money is excellent. If every song can be worthy of a beautiful MV, VCD discs can really sell.

Compared with tapes, the relative cost of VCD discs will be lower and the profits will be higher.

He does have an idea, and Song Bin also thinks it is very feasible, but at the moment he still has doubts:

"You want to match every song with an MV, so where do you get the MV script? And where do you find the director and crew for the MV? These are not things we are good at, and they will affect the publicity plan we negotiated. .”

"These are just things that you are not good at. Please don't include me. You should know that I am still a student of Nortel. We usually write scripts when we learn acting and hand in sketches."

The more important reason is that Qi Wei has the future as a reference, and it is easy to restore it.

So Qi Wei was still full of confidence, and continued: "I will handle the script of the MV. As for the director who made the MV, what do you think of the MV of "A Little Sweet" just now?"

Song Bin was stunned for a moment, then nodded and replied honestly, "Very good."

"That's it. Let me tell you that the MV and commercial of this song is shot by our senior brother from the director department of Nortel, and he is still a student. There is such a relationship. When I invite him, he will definitely help. Yes, I'll take care of all of this"

"That's fine, I will take care of the rest of the preparations."

Just when there were still some details to be discussed about the new album, at this time, someone from the company hurriedly knocked on the door to report the situation.

"Boss, there is a call from Hong Kong City, it's from Liu Tianwang"
