Chapter three hundred and forty seventh fire
Rowling's tape was officially released on October 20th. The initial sales were so-so, but as time went by, the sales began to get better and better, especially when several classic songs on the tape began to be gradually sung in the society.
and aroused everyone's interest.
This era is still an era of limited information. Rowling's songs were carefully selected. Two of the songs given to her by Song Yuanchao can be regarded as classics in later generations. In addition, other songs are not bad, although the real original singer
It's not Rowling, but because the original singing tapes are rarely circulated in China, when people hear these songs for the first time, their first impression is that Rowling is the original singer.
In addition, in order to promote this tape, Luo Yang also spent a lot of effort. He specially asked people to play two of Luo Lin's songs on the radio station, namely "When You Get Old" and "The Rest of My Life".
After this song with a beautiful melody and touching people's hearts began to be played on the radio station, the two songs, including the name Xia Ye, spread to all parts of the country at the speed of radio waves and caused a sensation.
In just one month, this tape with a sales price of 6.5 yuan sold 100,000 boxes. Although this number did not break the average monthly sales of "When Will We Meet" by Wang Jieshi and Xie Lisi released by Pacific Company this year?
record, but it is still considered extremely high.
The tape "When Will We Meet Again" is a myth in tape sales in the 1980s. It is a tape of a male and female duet. It contains some old songs and movie songs. The number of songs in the entire tape is more than Rowling's.
There are 18 songs in total, and the sales price is higher than Rowling's, selling for a full 6.9 yuan.
In an era when the average salary is only about 40 yuan, the sales price of 6.9 yuan is considered very high. However, this tape actually sold more than 5 million boxes that year. This record can be said to be unprecedented.
The arrival has become a milestone in the sales of popular song tapes in China.
Back then, their songs "Grandma's Penghu Bay", "Walking on the Waves" and "Walking on the Country Road" echoed everywhere in the streets, villages, the Central Plains, and inside and outside the campus. Wang Jieshi and Xie Lisi also became
The idol of young people.
The sales of Rowling's tape were not as popular as "When Will We Meet Again" at the beginning, but as time went by, the sales volume of this tape showed an obvious upward trend, especially when radio stations around the world played Rowling's tape under Luo Yang's deliberate promotion.
After the song was released, tape sales began to boom.
If nothing else happens, Rowling's tape sales volume will also be an astronomical figure. It is unclear whether it can surpass "When We Meet Again".
The happiest person about this was not Pacific Company or Luo Lin as the party involved, but Luo Yang.
In order to accomplish this, Luo Yang can be said to have paid a lot of money. Because Luo Lin was a newcomer and not well-known, in order to produce this tape for her, Luo Yang almost paid for most of the recording and distribution costs of the tape. This was a big deal.
It's a lot of money. Even if Luo Yang has made a lot of money over the years, he still has no shortage of money. But once the money is completely wasted, it will also break his muscles and bones.
It is precisely because Luo Yang was responsible for the risk that Pacific Company helped release this tape, otherwise Pacific Company would not have agreed to this matter.
From the very beginning, Luo Yang had planned to lose money. In his opinion, it was completely bearable to lose a part of it, even half of it. But he didn't expect that as time went by, Luo Lin's tapes sold better and better, especially
After Song Yuanchao gave him the idea of a radio station, Rowling's tape sales suddenly became extremely popular.
Before the first month was over, the sales volume of the tapes had reached 100,000 (excluding ripping and piracy). Due to risk-taking reasons, the contract signed by Luo Yang and Pacific Company had a higher share ratio. Before the tapes were released, such
The ratio is favorable to Pacific Company, but judging from the current situation, Luo Yang has become the winner.
According to Taiping's forecast, Rowling's tape sales are likely to exceed 300,000 boxes next month. If this number can be reached, the benefits will be huge.
The sales price of the tape is 6.5 yuan. After excluding the cost and Pacific Company's share, the profit share of a box of tapes in Luo Yang's hands is about 0.9 yuan.
This number is already not low, and with the later release of large-scale recordings, the cost will be further reduced. When the sales volume exceeds 500,000 boxes, Luo Yang's profit share will increase to about 1.1 yuan.
From this point of view, Luo Yang has not lost any money, and can still make a lot of money. As for the Pacific side, it is also an unexpected surprise. Although Pacific gave up part of the share ratio on Luo Lin's tape due to risk-taking reasons, it can still
Even so, overall, Pacific still earns more than Luo Yang. In addition, the name Xia Ye is becoming more and more famous. As a Pacific company that is vigorously exploring and cultivating its own singers, this is also a surprise.
happiness.
The huge sales of the tapes strengthened Luo Yang's confidence in entering this industry, and he has officially started preparing to establish a company.
In this era, self-employed individuals have just emerged in the mainland, but real private companies have not yet appeared. According to historical trends, the first private company after the reform and opening up was not officially established until 1985, so when Luo Yang dealt with this matter
The operation was carried out using the relationship with the Ministry of Culture, which is what later generations called "affiliation". Although this operation has many problems and disadvantages, at present, it can only be carried out in this way.
As for Luo Lin, the sales of the tape were booming, which made Luo Lin very happy. Xia Ye's name spread all over the country overnight, and her singing was sung everywhere along with the tape. But she really knew that Luo Lin was
However, Xia Ye's number was limited to only a few people. Due to the use of her stage name and the fact that Luo Lin did not actually show her face on the cover, no one even in the song and dance troupe where she worked knew the secret that Luo Lin was Xia Ye.
The famous Luo Lin still goes to get off work and off work as usual, and lives her sweet little life with Lin Yuhang. In the song and dance troupe, Luo Lin is still an unknown and marginalized role as before. Although there are people in the song and dance troupe listening Rowling's tape, and singing Rowling's
Some people would even jokingly say to Rowling that Rowling's voice sounded a bit like this Xia Ye, but they (they) never expected that when they said this, their expressions were calm and calm, and they were not affected by it.
The Luo Lin that attracts attention is exactly the Xia Ye they (them) are talking about.
Naturally, Luo Yang would not forget his sister when he made money. He specially gave part of it to Luo Lin, saying it was her commission for producing the tape. Luo Lin did not care about the money. Luo Yang was his brother, not an outsider, and these
Money is also the result of one's own labor, so there is nothing to be embarrassed about.
In addition, Luo Lin and Lin Yuhang have already gotten married, and they will need to spend money on various aspects such as family expenses and the upbringing of future children. After asking Luo Yang about the total share, Luo Lin accepted it with peace of mind.
The money, but she didn't know that Luo Yang was actually looking for an excuse to give the money to Luo Lin. You must know that the profits from tape production in this era are basically made by production companies and middlemen. As a performer, the singer never gets a share of the money.
He said that all he got was the cost of buying out a box of tapes.
Even for nationally famous singers, such as Li Guyi, Hu Songhua, Luo Tianchan, Jiang Dawei and other singers, the remuneration for a tape is only about 1,000 yuan, or more than 2,000 yuan.
"Your sister still plans to continue working in the song and dance troupe?" In Song Yuanchao's courtyard, Luo Yang and Song Yuanchao were sitting in the study drinking tea. Today they drank good black tea. As the weather gets colder, black tea is good for the stomach.
The clothes were comfortable, and after staying with Song Yuanchao for a long time, Luo Yang's taste for tea gradually improved, and he no longer only drank the scented tea that Yanjing people liked before.
"You don't know who my sister is? In her eyes, my brother-in-law is the only one in her eyes. She will marry a chicken and a dog and she will be there wherever my brother-in-law is. She has a very stubborn temper." Luo Yang
After taking a sip of tea, she put down the tea cup and shook her head and sighed. Before she got married, Luo Lin regarded her as a Lin family member, not to mention now that she was married.
After the tape became popular, Pacific Company contacted Rowling again and once again suggested that Rowling go to Yangcheng to study and work. If Rowling was willing, Pacific Company could give Rowling an extremely favorable condition, not only for work but also for work.
They have to deal with everything like the house, because in their eyes, Rowling, as a popular singer, is simply a future cash cow. How can they let such a person go?
However, Luo Lin still rejected the invitation and told the other party that she did not want to leave Yanjing. However, while rejecting the offer, she did not refuse the suggestion of releasing a new tape next year. She only replied that she would use this time to study and improve.
I'll release the new tape when it's ready.
Naturally, Pacific Company was a little dissatisfied with Rowling's reply. However, given Rowling's background, Pacific Company could only use He Zhili, who had dealt with Luo Yang, to come forward and find a way to persuade Rowling through Luo Yang. Unfortunately, Rowling
Even Luo Yang couldn't change his decision, so this matter could only be left as it was for the time being.
Song Yuanchao agreed with Luo Lin's idea personally, because Luo Lin just wanted to prove herself before releasing the tape, and had no desire for fame or fortune. Otherwise, Luo Lin's character would not have agreed to Luo Yang's suggestion.
, and now it can be said that Rowling has succeeded. Coupled with her feelings for Lin Yuhang, the possibility of her leaving Lin Yuhang's side is very small.
"Your sister is a pure person, a person who has escaped vulgar taste. You have to understand her." Song Yuanchao said half-jokingly and half-seriously.
Luo Yang was happy when he heard this, shook his head and said with a smile: "That's true, she has that kind of character, otherwise she wouldn't be marginalized in the song and dance troupe. If it were someone else, haha..."
Everyone knew what he said after Haha, but Song Yuanchao still reminded him that as Xia Ye's name became more and more popular, Luo Lin could hide it for a while but not forever. Some things should be prepared in advance, lest the time comes.
