Station.

Luo Lin took the train for several days and arrived in the capital city covered in dust.

His "Love Song of the Western Regions" was released at the end of last year. It has 11 songs, 6 of which he sang, and 5 of which were sung by two other singers. They are all old songs such as "Missing Comrades", "Kangding Love Song", "Why Are the Flowers So Red"

cover.

The response was unexpectedly good. Dealers in southern and northern Xinjiang liked it very much and sold 60,000 copies in a short period of time. Some tourists from other places heard about it and were willing to buy ten or twenty plates and take them back as specialties.

Give it away.

Mainland dealers are also paying attention and have ordered a small amount of goods. The company is optimistic that it can sell 100,000 copies before the Spring Festival.

Luo Lin finally fulfilled his promise and helped the company finish "Love Song of the Western Regions" before leaving. This time he came to Beijing to officially sign a contract with 99 Entertainment.

In January, the temperature in Northwest China was much lower than that in Beijing, and he still felt a little warm when he left the station.

The hat has always been the main body, wearing a not-so-old down jacket, and carrying a big bag. As soon as I came out, I saw the person holding a sign with his name written on it.

There was nothing to say, so he got in the car and left.

Luo Lin had played in a band before and came to the capital. After settling in the northwest, he lived in seclusion. Looking back this time, he felt that the changes had been earth-shaking. The buildings were so tall and there were so many cars.

Soon we arrived at Tuanjie Lake Building and went up to 99 Entertainment Company. Yu Jiajia was waiting there.

"Luo Lin, Daolang! Finally I've been waiting for you!"

"Yu, Mr. Yu..."

Luo Lin was a little overwhelmed by the other party's enthusiasm. He shook hands, exchanged a few words and took his seat.

He hesitated for a moment, seeming a little embarrassed, but he still opened the bag and took out a "Love Song of the Western Region" record and a large bag of dried fruits, cheese, beef jerky, etc.

"XJ has nothing to bring. He only brought some specialties. Don't mind it. And this is a record I just released. It should not be available in Beijing yet. Please give me some advice."

Under the pressure of life, no matter how artistic young people are, they have learned to be humane and worldly.

Fortunately, he was facing Yu Jiajia and said with a smile: "That's so polite. I just love eating this, so I didn't bother."

As he spoke, he tore open a pack of beef jerky, picked up the album, looked at it, and asked, "I heard it sold well?"

"It's not bad, there are more than 60,000 at present."

"That's great. How big is the market for XJ?"

Yu Jiajia casually took it out, inserted it into the computer, turned on the speaker, and then a desolate and heroic voice came out: "The foot of Tianshan Mountain is my lovely hometown. When I leave it..."

Many people like to listen to old songs.

But the old songs in their concept refer to popular songs such as "Qian Qian Que Song", "Sudden Self", "New Mandarin Ducks and Butterfly Dreams", not "Camel Bell", "Missing Comrades", "Playing My Beloved Tu Pipa" and the like

.

These are divided separately and are usually called serious songs and red songs.

In fact, they all sound very good, but being pleasant to listen to and being willing to listen are two different things. Most young people are not willing to listen to them and think they are tacky.

As soon as the song "Missing Comrades" was played, Yu Jiajia also felt that it was vulgar, but it did not hinder her professional aesthetics. It was indeed aimed at middle-aged and elderly men!

Luo Lin has a lot of sense when singing this kind of song.

After listening to one song, she nodded and asked, "Have you brought the newly recorded demo?"

"Take it, take it!"

Luo Lin quickly took out another plate, and Yu Jiajia put it in again and played: "If you didn't know how many drinks I drank that day, you wouldn't understand how beautiful you are..."

Okay, the style is the same.

"There are 6 original songs in total, all of which I wrote before, "The First Snow in 2002", "Lover", "Impulsive Punishment"... I want to continue to cover the rest, because after so many years, I know my own characteristics and sing

Which songs are more suitable?"

"What covers are there?"

""Toast Song", "Meeting in Obo", "Night on the Grassland"..."

"Let's add "Camel Bell" to make 12 songs. You're great at singing army songs. That's what you do. I don't get involved in the production. I just promote it. But there's one thing..."

"You tell me!"

"According to what you said before, the production feels too rough. This won't work. We signed you because we are optimistic about you. You put forward your requirements and I invest. Everything must be the best equipment to make the most sophisticated album!"

"Thank you, Mr. Yu! Thank you, Mr. Yu!"

Luo Lin was sincere and even a little touched.

"We will sign a contract tomorrow. You can live here for a few days and have some fun. In the future, you will be able to focus on the capital. I suggest you move here. It doesn't matter if you don't move. You will have to work hard and suffer, and I can't care about it."

"Oh well!"

After Luo Lin finished speaking, he saw that the other party was busy again, so he stepped aside automatically.

…………

"I know that the song "Aobao Meets" was used, and we are negotiating to buy the copyright!"

"What can happen? We have spent money and energy, and you just have to produce and it will be gone? You have to bear more over there!"

In the corridor the next day, Yu Jiajia took the phone and lost her temper at Ge Yanping.

"Avenue of Stars" recorded a sample episode. CCTV leaders were very satisfied with it and agreed to broadcast it on the variety show channel during prime time.

The leader agreed, but Ge Yanping was worried about gains and losses. Recently, he discovered that "Above the Moon" is somewhat similar to "Meeting Aobao".

That's right, this song does use the lyrics and music of "Aobao Meeting", and it even led to a lawsuit.

"Damn, you are so careless. You said you were buying the copyright but you still kept mumbling!"

Yu Jiajia hung up the phone, cursed, and walked into the conference room angrily. After a while, Yao Yuan also came in.

"Mr. Yao!"

Luo Lin stood up even more nervously, Yao Yuan smiled and shook hands, "Sit down, I'll listen."

He is now an official singer of 99 Entertainment. "Love Song of the Western Regions" is a thing of the past. The new album is named "The First Snow in 2002". He has done all the songs by himself, only the production and packaging is left.

"I don't agree with promoting it on Maiwo.com. Most of Maiwo's users are young people. They are not very enthusiastic about this kind of songs. It may be counterproductive, and we have to follow the traditional distribution path."

"But with traditional distribution, you have to contribute a lot to those evil publishers. I think this album will have a broad market among the bottom and special groups. It would be a pity not to make this money."

"Then we distribute it ourselves? The stall is too big."

"No need, if a song is popular in other places but not in the capital, it is not really popular. Similarly, if a song is popular in the capital, it will automatically spread.

I think an album of this style cannot be pushed hard, people who like it must actively come to you..."

Yao Yuan listened and felt that the employees of 99 Entertainment were trained well by Yu Jiajia.

In reality, "The First Snow in 2002" was first released in XJ and was brought back by dealers, tourists, people on business trips, etc., and soon became popular in Northeast China, Xi'an, Chengdu and other places.

But there was no movement in the capital.

Later, word of mouth spread, and it became popular in Beijing, and eventually became popular across the country.

So this was one of the reasons why the mainstream was anti-Daolang at that time. He did not become popular through formal channels, he was wild.

…………

Yao Yuan listened for a while, felt there was no problem, and returned to his office.

I sat down and browsed the webpage to look at today’s news. It was very hot:

"It is said that Alibaba's Series C financing negotiations are coming to an end. The leading investment institutions this time are still SoftBank China Capital, as well as Eight Road Capital, Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers China, etc. The specific amount of financing is not yet known, but according to the current

According to the news, it is very likely to exceed US$100 million!”

“Taobao Wangwang is officially launched!”

"Ebay announced that it will invest US$100 million this year to promote and expand the market. This move is obviously in response to Alibaba's successful new round of financing.

eBay currently has an absolute advantage in C2C market share, and Taobao has also launched a free strategy to counter it. Both companies have strong capital backing, and it seems that a war is inevitable this year!"

"We also learned that the financing agreement between Dangdang and Tiger Fund will be announced soon. Tiger Fund is a world-famous hedge fund that just invested in Dangdang's largest rival Joyo last year..."

Good guys, the e-commerce war!

The whole northwest of Shanxi is in chaos, and you, a bastard, are going to rebel!

Commander Yao shook his head and called Brother Dong: "Mr. Dong, let's talk!"
Chapter completed!
