Reborn Cultural Empire

120. Uncle Lin, Please Wait

On the Northeast Road of Modu, in the building of Shangyin Company, Lin Xi is in the manager's office. In front of him is Xu Ziling, the general manager of the company, and the respective editor-in-chiefs of the first and second editorial offices.

"Mr. Lin!" Xu Ziling sighed, stopped talking, and finally put the pen into the cap, and then tapped the table in front of him with two fingers: "Do you think you have some problems with this matter?" Too aggressive and too blind!"

Lin Xi is one of the best music editors in Shanghai Audiovisual. He is talented, and his style is not picky. That's why Xu Ziling felt a little helpless when he talked about this matter. If it was an ordinary editor, he would have patted the table roared.

"Manager Xu, I think this matter remains to be seen." Lin Xi calmly adjusted her glasses, and then questioned the company's boss: "First, what we agreed at the time is to wait until Siyue A month after Bian’s new book was on the shelves, he started to release the tapes, but now he is using some kind of trial release name to preempt the release, which is taking advantage of the contract..."

"Old Lin!" Gu Rao, the editor-in-chief in the editorial room next to him, hastily winked, feeling helpless towards his old friend and partner.

But Lin Xi seemed to have not seen the faces of everyone in the office, and said to himself: "Second, after releasing the tape without authorization, the project will be terminated due to short-term sales problems. I think the conclusion is too rash. , forgive me for not accepting it!"

"The conclusion after the market test, do you still think it is too rash?" Xu Ziling tilted his head, his bald head was shining brightly by the window: "Then tell me, what conclusion is not rash? Wait until this batch of tapes After the official listing, no one cares about it, and the cost cannot be recovered, so it is not rash?"

"After Siyue's New Year's Day promotional event, the sales volume of that comic has exceeded [-] copies in three days!" Linxi's energy-raising skills are excellent, but now she can't help it because of the eagerness of several leaders for quick success. , as well as their short-sightedness and superficial views, and their chests became angry.

Firstly, relying on Siyue and Rogo's trust in him, the omissions left in the contract actually rushed to release a batch of recorded music tapes before the release of "Yunhuang. Mo. Yanshi".That's all, and then because of the sales problem, an administrative order was actually used to terminate the production progress of the tape that was about to go on the market.

Such a breach of trust and short-sightedness, how could Lin Xi not be angry.

"Old Lin, we also know your grievances! But you are not unaware of the company's difficulties now!" Xu Ziling sighed: "Since 94, our situation has been deteriorating, and simple folk music is no longer popular! Now it’s not those good days in the 80s, but the world of pop music! If we hadn’t pre-released this batch of tapes, do you think we can touch the pulse of the market?”

The editor-in-chiefs of the two editing rooms nodded one after another: "Yes, Lao Lin, the main reason for this trial release is that everyone has no idea! That's why you tried it without telling you, and now it's as it should be! If you really wait until all the tapes are produced After that, what about the company's losses at that time?"

Seeing that the two chief editors also helped him speak, Xu Ziling felt a lot better in his heart. Seeing Lin Xi's teeth clenched, he couldn't bear it: "We have worked together for so many years, Lao Lin You patted your chest and said, do I, Old Xu, like people who make small moves behind their backs? No matter how well they sell Siyue, they are all those comics. Do you think they are going for the tapes sold with the comics? If these tapes are so good, why are they selling them at cost?"

"These folk music pieces are really good. Manager Xu, don't you believe my vision?" Lin Xi took a deep breath and looked straight at Xu Ziling. It seemed that the stubborn temper of a cultural person had broken out again.

Xu Ziling patted his bald head with a terrible headache, and said anxiously: "How can I tell you...it's not a question of your vision, but a question of the trend of the times! Folk music is no longer good! Today's consumers don't Good one!"

Without saying a word, Lin Xi got up and left the manager's office, leaving the leaders of Shangyin with a thin and lonely back.

……

"This is those people. In the past, Lao Xu also had a background in music. After he transferred to administration, he forgot everything he said before! Hmph!" In the dining room of Lin Xi's home, four people sat around a small square table. , Lin Xi's hair was disheveled, because of the exhaustion during this period, he drank two more sips of white wine at noon, and his eyes were bloodshot.While borrowing wine to drown his sorrows, he slapped the table and got mad.

"Uncle Lin, you are so imposing now!" Yang Yi chuckled, and filled Lin Xi's wine glass again.

Rogo clicked his face sternly: "Xiaoyi, what are you talking about? It's this time, and you're still teasing Uncle Lin!"

Yang Yi shook his head nonchalantly: "We don't care, why is Uncle Lin in a hurry? If he is in a hurry to get on the audio and video, I'm afraid he won't be able to deal with this kind of concern. Besides, the current boss has made a wrong decision. Isn't it just right to let him step down? If it's because these folk music tapes can't be released, it's better to say, don't they want to terminate the contract? Well, take it to Dongli, Dongli's Bai Boss has come to Siyue several times?"

As soon as the contract was mentioned, Lin Xi was full of apology again: "I'm the one who hurt the two old brothers! You also looked at my face and didn't even write liquidated damages, but now some people regret it gap."

Yang Yi was really in no rush: "It's their loss that they repented. Anyway, these songs are just for fun, and they are icing on the cake. I don't care."

These words caused Lin Xi to smile wryly. So in the eyes of this kid, the song that he would marvel at repeatedly was just a joke?

The feirou on Rogo's face also trembled a few times, you just have to think about it twice in your head, you really dare to say it in front of big guys, the skill of your face is quite good!

But everyone knows that Yang Yi's jokes are purely to comfort Lin Xi, so they all laughed and exposed this section.

Although the copyright of these songs is not in the hands of Shanghai Audiovisual, Lin Xi has really poured his enthusiasm this time.

Except for "Yugan" which Yang Yi played personally, Lin Xi repeatedly arranged and overturned every other piece of music in the arrangement, and carefully recorded it until he was sure, and then sent it to Rogo.

But as long as Yang Yi expresses a little on the phone that there is still a questionable change in a certain place, then Lin Xi will not say anything else, and arrange and record again.

This picture was serious and stubborn to the point of paranoia, and once caused the relevant staff to slander, but fortunately, Lin Xi usually has an excellent reputation in audio and video, and everyone complained, but it didn't cause much public opinion.

However, just now, this small tape has poured all his enthusiasm and energy into it. Editor Lin, who originally planned to use the wind of "Clouds and Desolation" to let folk music enter the ears of mainstream audiences again, his efforts have been so Was lightly obliterated.

It's no wonder that now he's on the loose, and instead of asking for help from those around him, he grabs Rogo and Yang Yi and won't let them go.

"Xiaoyi, you can make the sales of your books so impressive! But you must help me find a way to make this tape popular!"

Lin Xicai stopped eating and drinking, and stared blankly at Yang Yi, who was innocently shot: "Your tape is popular, so you can make more money, right?"

This Uncle Lin, either drank too much or lost his mind, and sold it for money. His leader stopped the production of the tape, and he was about to break the contract. How can he sell it!

But can you explain to Lin Xi now?What's the use of explaining?

What he needs now is not comfort, but venting.

"Don't worry! Uncle Lin, you just need to wait for this matter!" Yang looked at Su Wan, who was silently slurping food beside him, and felt that being torn up by someone was nothing more than a trivial matter. Little things.

The girl next to her is really silent.

Su Momo!

Yang flipped his chopsticks upside down, and wrote these three words on the table with his drink stained.

Without the expected blushing, Su Wan chewed the food lightly in small bites, looking delicious.

"Xiaoyi!" Seeing Yang Yi's little action, Luo Ge swallowed his saliva and was very envious, but his female secretary was not with him, so he had to pretend to cough twice: "Brother Lin is doing it for you." tapes, and now when the organization needs you, just say 'wait' and be done?"

"Then what do you want?" Yang Yi shrugged his shoulders. He is a state-owned institution. With an administrative order, it would be an imperial decree. With Lin Xi, a music editor who is devoted to folk music, he wants to overthrow The above command is simply not possible.

"I don't care, you have to help my brother figure out a way! Besides, we can't just let the money go!"

The second half of the sentence can be regarded as exposing the true intention of this non-fatty money string, but Yang has long been accustomed to the virtues of the fat boss, while Lin Xi is still immersed in depression, and no one listens to the fat boss's agitation.

"I said Brother Luo, don't you understand? Waiting now is the best opportunity! Didn't Shang Audio Video pre-record a batch of tapes this time? Uncle Lin just needs to get those tapes, and no one wants them? "

Yang Yi took his time, and now his posture looks like he is planning a strategy and winning a decisive victory thousands of miles away.

Um?Got those tapes recycled?Rogo was taken aback for a moment, and then the businessman's nature made him feel what Yang Yi meant, and he couldn't help giving a thumbs up, while Lin Xi was still at a loss.

"That's right! Brother Lin, you pay your own money to eat these batches of tapes that are now unsalable. Hurry up, time is running out!"

As expected of the person who pulled Siyue up with one hand, he instantly understood what Yang Yi meant.

"What are you talking about?" Lin Xi looked like an otaku in the acg forum of later generations, "Although I don't understand what you are talking about, it seems to be very powerful." He looked at Rogo and then at Yang Yi: "Let's I'm willing to buy the tape, after all it's my painstaking effort... but the money..."

The voice gradually lowered. It seems that even if he drank too much wine, Editor-in-Chief Lin still knew that he was short of money.

"Brother Lin, let me explain to this little magic stick!" Rogo felt happy seeing his friend who could help him, so he didn't hide it: "According to our original plan, we will be in "Yunhuang. One month after the release of "Mo. Yanshi", that is, when the Yunzhong Bookstore we are running now opens, we will also do a promotion for this music tape! I have asserted early in the morning that this time the new folk music tape, I like it Most people will like it to the bottom of their hearts, but most of them are young people and students who have never been exposed to new folk music... To let the main consumers of these audio-visual products know about our works, we must advertise!"

Hearing this, the anger on Lin Xi's face has gradually disappeared, replaced by a thoughtful understanding.

"That's why we set the release of the tape one month after "Mo Yanshi" in order to lay the audience base first. As long as a reader of "Yun Huang" likes these songs, he will spare no effort to help them. Let's promote it! Let countless fans around him know that the second part of "Yunhuang" has music in addition to comics!"

Yang Yi also added beside him: "Now the word of mouth of the students is much more effective than those who have already entered the society! Uncle Lin, just imagine, one person affects a class, and a class drives a school, and these There are students and brothers and sisters... Children, the topic of being together is always much simpler and more direct than that of adults, and they can't avoid "Clouds and Desolation"!"

So what I have to do now is to take the initiative to buy back that batch of tapes in my own name, and wait until the word of mouth of this batch of tapes spreads...

Lin Xi's wine is completely sober now, this kid always brings him surprises... Is he far-sighted, or is he brilliant?

This is really true, while talking and laughing, the mast and scull are wiped out.
