Thinking of the news that Meng Guangmei was defrauded of hundreds of millions by her foreign boyfriend, Cao Jun took a sip of hot soup and asked curiously: "Sister Guangmei, what does your foreign boyfriend do?"

Meng Guangmei said with a smile: "Corrado is engaged in investment and has its own investment company in Taiwan Province."

Speaking of her boyfriend Corrado Riccio, Meng Guangmei's face was filled with a smile of happiness and pride.

Cao Jun then asked: "How long have you been together?"

Meng Guangmei thought for a while and said: "We have known each other for many years, but we have been together for less than three years."

"Oh, that's it." Cao Jun nodded. He wanted to say something, but held back.

In Cao Jun's view, as Meng Guangmei's friend, he has the obligation to remind her to be careful of being deceived.

But the reality is that if Cao Jun directly told Meng Guangmei to be careful about his foreign boyfriend, it would definitely make her angry, and she would definitely trust her boyfriend more.

Therefore, Cao Jun did not directly tell Meng Guangmei to be careful about her boyfriend, but only reminded her to be cautious when investing and not to put all her eggs in the same basket.

Meng Guangmei didn't care. She just felt that Cao Jun was a little too cautious and conservative, and didn't know much about investment. Investment inherently involves risks. The greater the risk, the greater the return.

At least so far, Meng Guangmei has given money to her boyfriend to invest. Not only has she not lost money, she has also made a lot of money from the investment.

Cao Jun did not force it. Anyway, he had already said everything he needed to say. As for the outcome, Meng Guangmei could only control it himself.

In the following days, Cao Jun got up early to put on makeup as usual, then filmed all day long, and didn't return to the hotel until early in the morning.

Although such days are tiring, they are also very fulfilling. Cao Jun enjoys filming the movies he likes and playing the roles he likes.

On November 5, Cao Jun's original song "Father" was officially released.

Because "Father" is a single, Cao Jun did not go on shows to promote it like he promoted the album "Fairy Tale".

Song Ke really thought that the song "Father" could become a hit song comparable to "Fairy Tale", so he arranged a publicity team to promote the song "Father" on a large scale.

First of all, there are major TV music programs, such as Beijing TV's "Chinese Music Ranking", ChannelV's "Global Chinese Music Ranking", Mango Channel's "Music Keeps Up", etc.

Then there are radio stations, such as "The Sound of Music" of China National Broadcasting Corporation, "Hit FM" of China International Radio, and Xi'an Music Broadcasting, etc. As long as they can be promoted, they are basically promoted.

Of course, whether it is radio stations or music programs, record companies need to pay, and this is not a secret in the record industry.

If a record company wants to promote an artist's new song on the radio charts, it must first purchase so-called radio advertisements. These price packages are available for you.

Select, the higher the price, the greater the possibility of being on the list.

This kind of advertising in the name of advertising is actually selling charts. If you buy advertising for several months at a time, then you can "talk" a little bit about winning awards at the award ceremony at the end of the year.

However, buying charts can only ensure that songs are played more frequently and for a longer time. As for whether the song is popular or not, it still depends on the quality of the song itself.

After all, Song Ke is a businessman. The packages he chose for the song "Father" are all priced at 18,000 yuan. He saves as much as possible and will never spend a penny more.

After a round of intensive promotion, Song Ke spent a total of less than 200,000 to promote the song "Father".

Song Ke has always believed that good songs should be properly promoted. People who think they sound good will naturally take the initiative to request them. There is no need to be too serious about whether they are on the charts or not.

Just like Pu Shu, as long as the song is popular enough and popular enough to be loved by fans, even if you don't spend a lot of money to buy charts, you still have a chance to win big prizes.

For example, when Daolang released the album "The First Snow in 2002", his record company was about to close down. The company only had a few thousand yuan in its account and had no money to promote the album on radio stations and music programs.

As a result, "The First Snow in 2002" without any warning or publicity quickly became popular all over the country within a month in early 2004.

In fact, Dao Lang's "The First Snow in 2002" can only be regarded as a very special case.

As the saying goes, the fragrance of wine is still in the dark. Most of the current records and songs still need to be promoted by radio stations and music programs.

Two days after the release of Cao Jun's song "Father", many fans of Cao Jun and even video stores called to order Cao Jun's new album.

Song Ke sensed a business opportunity and called Cao Jun to ask: "Xiao Cao, the song "Father" has been very popular. We plan to help you release an EP. What do you think?"

Cao Jun asked in confusion: "Mr. Song, can an EP be released with just one song?"

Song Ke explained: "It must be possible. EP is actually a form of music release between singles and albums."

"Usually, a single usually contains 1 to 3 songs. I plan to add the two songs "Fairy Tale" and "Memory of Zhengzhou" to this EP, and get a poster of you.

If you pack it up, you should be able to sell a lot."

Cao Jun asked in disbelief: "Will anyone really buy this kind of EP?"

Song Ke said: "Let's give it a try. Let's release 50,000 copies first and see how much the sales sell. If the sales are good, we will pursue the victory!"

Cao Jun also felt that the EP format was quite novel, so he said, "Okay, then you decide. I'm filming here in Xiangshan, so I can't help much."

Song Ke smiled and said, "It's okay, just keep filming well. I'll let you know when you make money."

Cao Jun nodded: "Okay."

On November 8, Cao Jun's first EP "Father" was officially launched in major audio and video stores in Beijing and other places.

To Song Ke's surprise, once Cao Jun's first EP "Father" was released, it immediately triggered crazy purchases by fans, and album sales also grew "barbarically".

In less than 3 days after being on the market, 50,000 copies were sold...

Fortunately, Song Ke had already made preparations, and on the first day the "Father" EP was released, he began arranging for the manufacturer to work overtime to record it.

On the tenth day after its release, sales of Cao Jun's "Father" EP officially exceeded 150,000 copies.

At the same time, the song "Father" also quickly became popular and became one of the hottest pop songs at the moment.

Especially on radio stations and music programs, there are many filial fans who, after being moved by the popularity of the song "Father", specially requested the song "Father" as a gift to their fathers.

If Cao Jun's song "Fairy Tale" moved lovers all over the world, then the song "Father" not only moved fans, but also made many passersby cry.

Even the bearded Zhang Jizhong listened to the song "Father" sung by Cao Jun on the recommendation of the staff.

Before that, Zhang Jizhong had also listened to Cao Jun's "Fairy Tale", but for people of his age, he couldn't get used to listening to such romantic pop songs, and found them very pretentious.

Cao Jun's song "Father" moved him very much.

It was only then that Zhang Jizhong deeply felt that Cao Jun was a very popular pop singer and a talented original singer.

Zhang Jizhongli began to think in his mind that if the song for the drama "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is written well by Cao Jun, it will also be of great benefit to the drama "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".

After making a calculation in his mind, Zhang Jizhong did not be polite to Brother Cao, but directly expressed his thoughts to Cao Jun: "Cao Jun, I heard that you can write songs. How about you help us write songs for this drama?"

Cao Jun felt that the bearded man wanted to take advantage of him again, so he smiled and declined: "Director, let's say goodbye. I have never written martial arts songs, and I can't write them. All I write are pop songs."

Zhang Jizhong continued: "Cao Jun, you are too arrogant to belittle yourself. I think the song "Father" you wrote is very good and very high-level. It is hundreds of times better than Jay Chou. Jay Chou sings."

The articulation is unclear, just like a monk reciting sutras, it is impossible to listen."

Cao Jun said modestly: "Director, you think too highly of me. I can't compare with Jay Chou. At least for now, there is still a big gap between me and him."

Zhang Jizhong waved his hand: "Okay, don't be humble anymore. I'll leave the songwriting to you. I have complete confidence in you!"

Cao Jun was speechless and said to himself, "It's useless for you to have confidence in me. I don't have confidence in you."

Do you know how much it costs to buy a song from me? It’s okay if you ask me to write a song, but it’s absolutely not possible if you don’t have enough money!
