Chinese Entertainment's Shining Star

"Hey, when can we get another batch of goods? I'll order fifty sets here."

"It's gone? It's impossible. Aren't you going to hurry up and restock? Just tell me a time. What? It's really gone? You open the door to do business and you still think you make less money?"

"Hello? Hello? Why did the phone hang up? This is so rude!"

Seeing his business partner Lao Pang's angry look, Lao Liu sighed: "Can't we still replenish the goods?"

"No, there's not one left. There's something wrong with Huayi Records. Even though they have money, they don't even make money. If I had known, we would have received a hundred copies. I believe we can sell them out." Lao Pang responded angrily. This was the first time he had seen a record company that made no money at all.

"I told you to buy more at the beginning, but you thought it was too expensive. Look, now it's sold out easily. How many people asked me later? Do you think about this? How much less have we made?" Lao Pang Not to mention, it’s okay, Yiyi Lao Liu also got angry. If Lao Liu hadn’t insisted on it in the beginning, I’m afraid their audio-visual store wouldn’t even have sold ten albums.

As a result, looking at it now, the album worth nearly a thousand yuan was sold out within half an hour of opening the door. After that, a wave of customers came and asked if they had this album. After only half a day, Old Liu counted at least two or three. ten people.

These people who didn't buy the album left the audio and video store with a look of disappointment, and Lao Liu felt pain in his heart. After all, it was all money. He made thousands of dollars less in this day.

And Lao Pang, who originally opposed the purchase, will undoubtedly take the blame.

Lao Pang obviously knew that he had made a mistake, and he quickly said apologetically to Lao Liu with a smile on his face: "Lao Liu, I really didn't expect such an expensive album to sell so well. After all, it cost nearly a thousand yuan. The recent one The kids are really rich, why don’t we see them spend so much money buying albums on weekdays?”

"Are other albums worth spending so much money on?" Old Liu sneered, with a trace of disdain flashing in his eyes, while explaining: "Let me ask you, who is the most popular star in the country now?"

"Nie Wei!"

"Then which is the most popular show this year?"

"Supergirl."

"Isn't that great? I've said it before. With Nie Wei and Supergirl's popular contestants, this is a big-selling album. Besides, the quality of the songs is so high. What's the reason not to sell it? The key is whether the album is expensive or not. , but the content is also sincere enough. I think the silver inlaid jade nameplate alone is worth at least two to three hundred, and including those messy things, I estimate that the cost will be four to five hundred, and after deducting our In fact, Huayi doesn’t make much profit by helping dealers.”

"That's true. This time I was short-sighted. I'm really sorry for Old Liu." Old Pang blushed a little when he thought about the scene where he stopped Old Liu from buying more a few days ago.

Lao Liu didn't really complain about Lao Pang. After all, they had been doing business together for a long time. If he could make less, he could make less. What's more, he was also a bit hindsight. When he wanted to buy more, he was purely motivated by the urge to give it a try. , otherwise he wouldn’t have hesitated as soon as Lao Pang stopped him, and in the end he only scored ten.

Now that he thinks about it, Lao Liu's heart aches. This is all money.

Many people in charge of the audiovisual industry actually suffered from the same disease as Lao Liu at this time. There was an opportunity to make money in front of them, but they did not cherish it. When they wanted to make another fortune, they found that the other party had no money. Goods.

This is simply a bolt from the blue.

Didn’t we agree on hunger marketing? How could there be no goods? This didn't follow the script at all. When did record companies pay so much attention to integrity that they don't even make the money in front of them? This is too exaggerated.

In the office of the vice president of Huayi Records, Wu Ming looked at the orders in front of him and felt distressed.

All this is money in front of him. If Wu Ming signs now, it will bring at least millions of benefits to the company. However, after talking to Nie Wei on the phone just now, Wu Ming knows that he really can't sign.

"Integrity is the foundation of a businessman. Needless to say, no matter what reason is used to release additional records, it will be a harm to the fans. Moreover, I have never planned to make any profit from this record. I created this record, In fact, it is just to highlight Zhang Liangying’s worth. Her own value is much more important than the immediate interests.”

Wu Ming deeply agrees with this statement. This album has been in constant discussion since it was announced in online media, which has caused Zhang Liangying to continue to be very popular on the Internet recently. This is why it only took half a day for her digital single to be released. , the sales volume has exceeded 200,000 paid downloads.

This is of course due to Nie Wei's good songs and Zhang Liangying's high popularity, but I have to say that the topical effect brought by the physical version of this record also helped a lot.

The most important thing is that this album is of such high value and sells so well that it immediately raises Zhang Liangying's personal worth a lot. Just now, a domestic first-line cosmetics brand recruited them and named Zhang Liangying as its spokesperson. They have a range of skin care products that I never dared to think of before.

Because Zhang Liangying was popular at that time, but did not have a suitable image, so most of the manufacturers he found were domestic second- and third-tier brands. They only looked at popularity, while those first-tier brands had no movement. The reason was simple. They felt Zhang Liangying is not worthy of their brand value.

In fact, it is not only Zhang Liangying who has such an experience. In this Super Girl competition, except for Li Yuchun who has received a first-line brand, the other contestants have this problem. Nie Wei's move undoubtedly gave Zhang Liangying a step up, and also made Zhang Liangying's image stand out from the Super Girls instantly. She became the second Super Girl contestant after Li Yuchun to be approached by a first-line brand. In Wu Ming's expectation, there will definitely be a second, third, or even more.

By then, Zhang Liangying will be endorsed by countless first-line brands. Who will still regard her as a simple talent show singer?

And the increase in Zhang Liangying's value is indeed much better for the company than the current benefits.

However, it is really uncomfortable to have money but not be able to make it. Wu Ming thought of this and couldn't help sighing again. At this time, his office door was knocked again, and then he saw a staff member walking in with a stack of A4 paper. Wu Ming knew without looking that it must be some orders from audio-visual companies.

"Don't show them to me next time. Just refuse them directly." Wu Ming waved his hand and said, out of sight, out of mind.

At this moment, many entertainment bloggers on the Internet are also waiting for the results of Zhang Liangying's record sales. If they sell poorly, they will naturally ridicule them. If they sell well, they will have something to say. Otherwise, why did they keep promoting "hunger marketing" before? Isn't it just waiting for Huayi Records to slap itself in the face so that they can have something to talk about.

At noon, the record statistics finally got the news that Zhang Liangying's physical record sales were 6,166, and the records in Kyoto and Mingzhu City were sold out. The remaining records are estimated to have no worries about sales. It is expected that all 10,000 copies will be sold out within a week.

Many people were shocked when they saw this data.

Records that are close to a thousand yuan, and more than half of them were sold out in the morning. This is not a joke, right? When did the legitimate record industry become so good?

Don't these people who buy records have brains?

But when I clicked into the official blog of Huayi Records, I found that the following were all voices praising the physical record, and many people were shouting that it was worth the money, which was simply incredible.

Of course, some of them were Huayi Records's water army, but most of the people who really liked the record and bought it felt that it was worth the money after opening the box. Just like Nie Wei said, he never planned to make any money from this record. He sold it at a high price just to create Zhang Liangying's own star quality, so the content of the album could not be bad.

The cost of the entire album is about 500 yuan, but this value is due to mass production. If only one copy is made, the value will definitely exceed 1,000 yuan.

Not to mention the silver-inlaid jade nameplate, which is considered a luxury, even the packaging box of this record is made of bamboo, which looks unique, and the cover of the notebook inside is also made of genuine leather, and the paper is also of the best quality. If you buy this notebook alone in a stationery store outside, it is impossible to spend more than 100 yuan.

There is also the annual membership card of the Fanxing blog, which is worth hundreds of yuan, and all the other things and the album itself. With so much high-quality content, Nie Wei would ask if the buyer was too greedy.

From this perspective, those who are waiting to see the joke and hype this content are undoubtedly a bit blind, but they think they still have a trick up their sleeve, that is, since this thing sells so well, you must take this opportunity to sell more, right?

Sell only 10,000 sets? No one believes it at all. Some people speculate that maybe Huayi Records will find a bunch of excuses tonight and sell another 10,000 sets until the fans' enthusiasm is exhausted. This is also a routine used by many businesses, saying that it is a limited edition, but in the end it is sold as a mass hardcover edition.

However, this group of people waited and waited until two days later when it was announced that the album had been sold out, and Huayi Records did not have any news of additional issuance.

This is strange.

The doubts were not only about the people waiting to see the show, but also about a group of real fans who regretted not buying it because they had no money or were hesitant. These people went to Huayi Records' blog to ask, and finally Huayi Records responded that night.

"The record has been sold out. We are deeply sorry for the fans who didn't get it. Our company follows the original promise and will not make any changes to the record."

As soon as the statement came out, even the most brainless people understood that Huayi Records really didn't plan to make more copies of this record. Those who called it hunger marketing before were really slapped in the face.

Because hunger is really 'hunger', after all, so many people are saying that they can't buy it, so sad, but marketing is not necessarily true, at least they said that if they sell 10,000 copies, they will sell 10,000 copies, and they won't sell any more.

"This is really, you don't want to make money, you fool." Some people who are unwilling to accept it complained with sourness, but as soon as the news was released, they were bombarded by a group of people, many of whom were fans who wanted to buy but couldn't. After all, many of these people believed their nonsense and thought they could buy it anyway, maybe it would be cheaper later, but they didn't expect that there would be no later.

And these guys were still saying weird things at this moment, so they also "by the way" vented their anger on these guys, scolding them so harshly that several bloggers closed the comments. They really couldn't stand it. Not to mention glass hearts, even bulletproof glass hearts would be shattered under such insults.

As the direct beneficiary of this record sales, Zhang Liangying's face was stiff with laughter, but she was still happy and couldn't help laughing. The good album sales were one thing, and she received three first-line endorsements in just one week. In addition, some fashion magazines and influential entertainment media also came to her to take photos and interview her.

At this time, Zhang Liangying felt the joy of being a big star, and understood why people in this industry were willing to work hard to climb up, because this feeling of being the center of attention was really addictive.

This made her feel that her initial choice was correct. Just looking at Nie Wei's method of turning the tide, she admired him very much.

At this moment, Nie Wei was receiving a person who was both strange and familiar in his office.

Strange because the two had never met before, and had not even communicated. Familiar because the two knew each other's existence and had a certain understanding.

It was not surprising that the other party knew Nie Wei. As the most popular star in China, Nie Wei's information could be found on the Internet. If this person knew that Nie Wei was also familiar with him, he would be surprised.

Although he had made some achievements, it was only limited to the circle within the circle, which was a small part of the entertainment circle. After all, he was just a director who made art films before. He was a little famous, but only in the art film field, and his reputation was not much. At most, he was just a rookie with a little fame.

But in Nie Wei's eyes, the person sitting opposite was really famous.

In Nie Wei's eyes, this person was not a famous art film director, a very talented newcomer, these were not his labels. In Nie Wei's eyes, he should be a genius director who was good at black humor, a commercial guarantee in the film industry, and a new generation of director leaders called "ghosts" by people in the circle.

Of course, returning to reality, at this moment he was indeed just a newcomer who wanted to try and break into the commercial film circle with a try-and-see mentality.

Retracting his thoughts, Nie Wei looked at the script in front of him. The content was so familiar, while the person sitting opposite him seemed a little reserved. His eyes were always secretly observing Nie Wei's face, obviously paying attention to Nie Wei's expression.

"Ning Hao?" Twenty minutes later, Nie Wei put down the script and asked.

Thanks to the immortal bird for the generous reward of 500!
