Lu Dongjie put the finalized manuscript paper aside and began to think about other things.

As the saying goes, everything will work if you plan it in advance, and it will fail if you don't plan it in advance.

If you want your company to develop and operate sustainably, it is imperative to plan and formulate a long-term and stable business strategy and plan.

The record company is now fully staffed and can basically operate normally, and has begun to become self-sufficient.

Universal Music Records' current main business is selling records. In the local market, its own company is naturally responsible for production and distribution, while in areas such as Taiwan, Singapore and Malaysia, cooperative companies distribute.

Generally speaking, the two mini-albums released by the company have achieved very good sales, especially Kuang Meiyun's "Asian Diva Album", which not only achieved good sales locally, but also achieved considerable sales in Fufu.

Zhang Yuanyuan's "First Love" album began to surpass Kuang Meiyun in local sales. Her mini-album is a Cantonese pop song, focusing on the local market, and the Waifu market can basically be ignored.

They are the two singers currently signed by the company, but in the next year, the company will not consider releasing a new album for them. After all, these two girls are young and immature, and even their vocal cords are not fully developed. Many types of songs

Can't control it.

Zhang Yuanyuan is better. After all, she is a child star and is very proficient in all singing skills. Kuang Meiyun is a little worse. She still needs to find some senior vocalists to give her guidance and improve her singing skills.

Based on their current objective state, if they continue to release some youth-style records, they can still cope with it, but if they play this card blindly, it will easily cause listening fatigue to the fans. They may not buy it, and the gain will outweigh the loss.

Therefore, in the future, the two of them will focus on practicing in seclusion and improving their own strength. During the gap period when the company's two contracted singers are absent, they should be prepared to consider looking for other singers to fill this gap.

When Lu Dongjie thought of this, he suddenly reminded him that although the company mainly sells records, running such a single business is not an option. It is necessary to open up some new businesses and increase the company's other sources of income.

After all, the International Phonographic Association has set the standard sales volume of Hong Kong gold records at 15,000 copies. It must have conducted market research in advance and set this standard based on the purchasing power and consumption level of fans.

This also shows that Hong Kong's record market has limited capacity. Unless the record you release has a very good reputation and quality, the upper limit of the standard in this range can basically be estimated.

Only when the income and living standards of Hong Kong citizens improve and they have money in their hands will they be willing to pursue and enjoy a better quality of life. At that time, the golden age of the recording industry will truly come.

In the movie market, developing some business of theme songs or soundtracks is also one of Lu Dongjie's considerations. After all, the phenomenon of popular music relying on movies for survival has never changed for decades.

Mandarin records are also a market worthy of further exploration, so he plans to find a Taiwanese singer to test the waters. The plan to release a Mandarin album has also been put on the agenda by Lu Dongjie.

Although the global market for English-language records is the largest, he does not have any distribution channels. He can only produce records and then hand them over to multinational record groups for distribution. The final profit is that they eat meat and Lu Dongjie eats soup.

Therefore, Lu Dongjie has not been very willing to release English records. My hard work has been in vain. You guys have made a lot of money, so I will just pay a cabbage price. How could he be willing to accept it? If he was not in a hurry to use money last time, of course he would not

I'll sell it to them cheaply.

Of course, when there is an opportunity to open up overseas distribution channels in the future, or when he has a greater voice, it will be a matter of course to release an English record. After all, he will not have any psychological burden to make money from ghost guys.

As the world's second largest music market, Japan is an extremely tempting cake. It's a pity that Lu Dongjie's Japanese is really mediocre. Otherwise, it would be strange if Lu Dongjie didn't turn the Japanese music scene upside down.

But fortunately, for pop songs, melody is the soul, and it is very important whether the melody of the song is pleasant to the ear.

As for the creators of Cantonese pop songs, they are accustomed to using the method of writing the music first and then the lyrics. After writing the melody, they then fill in the lyrics according to the music score. Therefore, Hong Kong lyricists all call themselves lyricists.

rather than the lyricist.

Therefore, Lu Dongjie can also adopt this roundabout method and try to break into the Japanese music scene.

Now we are just waiting for when Watanabe Agency and Warner Pioneer will send people over. Then everyone will divide the work and work together to see if they can create a Japanese pop music album.

Lu Dongjie sat there by himself for a long time, thinking over and over again that he might as well just steal the chicken and leave and go back to discuss it with Xu Ruoqi. It would be better to leave some things to her to worry about.

Lu Dongjie took the manuscript paper to Sun Yubiao's office and handed her the determined tracks. As for the subsequent operation of the TV soundtrack album, it was none of his business.

Back at the record company, when Lu Dongjie walked into Xu Ruoqi's office, she was discussing something with a woman.

"It's just the right time for you to come back. Let me introduce you." Xu Ruoqi stood up with a smile.

"Mr. Xu, you don't need to introduce me, we know each other." Chen Shufen also stood up and smiled.

"Miss Chen, nice to meet you." Lu Dongjie stepped forward to shake hands with her. It was Chen Shufen from China Star Entertainment.

"We've gotten to know each other better. No need to be polite. Let's sit down and talk slowly." Xu Ruoqi smiled and made an invitation gesture.

"Miss Chen, you must have something good to take care of us when you come here." Lu Dongjie smiled brightly.

"You're welcome, Mr. Lu. I'm here to discuss cooperation." Chen Shufen replied formally.

"Ms. Chen wants to talk about the performance cooperation with our singers." Xu Ruoqi explained with a smile.

"Oh, since Miss Chen is interested in them, you might as well share your thoughts." Lu Dongjie nodded.

"Our company is preparing to hold a pop concert. I would like to invite Kuang Meiyun and Zhang Yuanyuan from your company to be the lead singers of the concert, and some young singers from other companies will also make guest appearances." Chen Shufen looked at Lu Dongjie and said.

"Just the two of them can hold up the backbone of a show. Miss Chen, aren't you afraid of losing money if it doesn't sell well?" Lu Dongjie said with a surprised smile.

"Lu Sheng, you are kidding. They are the two most popular people in the pop music world right now. If their concerts are not sold out, then no singers in Hong Kong will dare to come out to sing." Chen Shufen shook her head and laughed.

"Since Miss Chen has confidence in them, I am relieved." Lu Dongjie nodded and smiled.

When I really wanted to sleep, someone handed me a pillow, and China Star Entertainment actually came to cooperate with me. Naturally, I wanted to do it.

So the three of them talked together for nearly two hours. Some specific cooperation requirements and conditions were put on the table for discussion. After reaching a final result that both parties were satisfied with, they shook hands and said goodbye.
