Chapter 219: Record-breaking and value-for-money worth
Chapter 219 Record-breaking and value for money
February 16, 1999, the first day of the Lunar New Year.
Jiang Yan got up at 8 o'clock and ate eggs slowly, while Wu Yong and Li Xiuxiu had already started working in the living room.
As soon as I turned on the phone in the morning, the phone started ringing with invitations for commercial performances.
Jiang Yan ignored it and turned on the TV. Sure enough, "Gong Xi Fa Cai"!
As expected, since the song "Gong Xi Fa Cai" appeared last night, it will become a must-have song for the New Year for many years to come.
On TV, Jiang Yan was full of enthusiasm and joy. While singing, he sent blessings to the audience in front of the camera. Even those who hated Jiang Yan would not change the channel.
Wish you fortune, who doesn't like it?
So fitting!
Coupled with Jiang Yan's huge popularity and the huge influence of the Spring Festival Gala, it goes without saying that all parts of the country have fallen.
The hardest-hit areas are naturally major supermarkets, shopping malls and streets.
Anyone doing business would not miss this song, so Jiang Yan once again left the circle.
However, after Wu Yong and Li Xiuxiu began to report, Jiang Yan realized that he had been conservative in his thinking.
It turns out that invitations to commercial performances in Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan and even Southeast Asia have been sent.
The purpose is to get him to sing "Gong Xi Fa Cai".
Can Hong Kong and Taiwan understand, and Southeast Asia will also join in the fun?
Jiang Yan didn't think much, he just wanted to know:
"So, how much am I worth now?"
...
Li Xiuxiu had previously sorted out Jiang Yan’s business performance quotations.
Rounding off the beginning and ending to get an average, according to the trend, in August when they first debuted, it was about 50,000, in September, "Goku fever" was 150,000, in October the album was released, it skyrocketed to about 250,000, and in December, the album
Dominating the charts, "Infernal Affairs" exploded, and Jiang Yan didn't take any orders, so the commercial performance quotations soared to more than 500,000, which is very close to 1 million.
This price is already more than twice that of the two queens, Yehenala and Wang Fei, in the Mainland. It is definitely considered top-notch.
Unfortunately, Jiang Yan still refused to accept the offer, so the price was all false.
And now, as soon as the Spring Festival Gala + Jiang Yan + Geely's "Gong Xi Fa Cai" comes out, even if the merchants on the market know that Jiang Yan will not accept it, they are still making crazy offers, saying that money is a small problem, as long as Jiang Yan comes to sing "Gong Xi Fa Cai"
.
As of 9 a.m. on the first day of the Lunar New Year, the highest number had registered 2 million, and the lowest number had registered 800,000.
Such quotes come from all over the country, with coastal cities having higher prices and central and western cities also having lower prices.
Shopping malls, hotels and even factories have opened.
These people are really just looking for good luck and don't treat money as money.
So never underestimate how rich some people are in China.
Jiang Yan is still somewhat mentally prepared for this. He knows that there are still many rich people.
But Li Xiuxiu once again had all three views changed.
That’s two million!
Ordinary people earn one thousand yuan a month. If they don’t eat or drink, they have to save it since the Qing Dynasty!
Jiang Yan smiled and said nothing when he heard this. He said golf...forget it.
So what should you do when faced with such an offer?
Jiang Yan smiled slightly, he happened to be short of money, and he could get so much by singing a song, and there were no strings attached, so he didn’t want it for free, so he took it!
However, time was limited, so Jiang Yan also made restrictions.
From the second day of the lunar month to the eighth day of the lunar month, there are only seven days!
And such restrictions can be regarded as giving these rich people a value-for-money experience.
So when Li Xiuxiu and Wu Yong released their words, the business world exploded!
...
Jiang Yan has started taking orders!
The news spread all over the country like the wind.
Jiang Yan, this top star who has never taken on a commercial role since his debut, actually started taking orders!
Some people speculated whether Jiang Yan could no longer maintain his character.
Some people speculated that Jiang Yan was short of money. After all, he spent a lot of land.
Some people are wondering whether Jiang Yan has been threatened. After all, in the eyes of the melon-eaters, he is just a star.
But no matter what these people think, Jiang Yan is indeed going to have a meal. This is a fact.
Although there are restrictions, we can only accept seven days, with a maximum of 14 games, and the two games cannot be too far apart.
It can be said that it is still very difficult to invite Jiang Yan.
But it doesn’t matter, you have money!
As a result, almost all merchants with some strength began to compete for quotations.
800,000, 1 million, 1.2 million.
The average price has skyrocketed.
The fastest rise was undoubtedly the first session on the second day of the Lunar New Year.
The quote directly exceeded 2 million.
This posture really made Jiang Yan the top incense in the temple.
This exhausted Li Xiuxiu and Wu Yong, and they were divided into several people. Even Xiao Zhou and the driver began to join in the coordination work.
Finally, on the afternoon of the first day of the Lunar New Year, with Jiang Yan’s nod, the first fragrant flower fell into a shopping mall in Shanghai with a price of 2.3 million.
One song, one appearance, 2.3 million, directly breaking the commercial performance record.
Not only is he the number one mainland singer, he even broke the record for Hong Kong and Taiwan singers.
This shocked all the media and industry colleagues who received the news.
Someone said, "How virtuous and capable are you, Jiang Yan, worth such a high price?"
But at the same time, some people said that because things are rare, they are valuable. It was the first performance of Jiang Yan's career, and it was also the popular "Gong Xi Fa Cai" in the Spring Festival Gala!
Besides, this is only as high as the first show. Isn’t it back to normal from the second show? It’s not much more expensive than other top singers.
Yehenala: My price increase during the Chinese New Year is only 3 to 50 million. You don’t care how much 1.2 million is more expensive for a single call?!
Jiang Yan still paid little attention to the voices from the outside world.
He didn't have time to pay attention because he was currently visiting Wu Jing's house for New Year greetings.
Many of Jiang Yan's friends live in Beijing.
Chen Daomin, eldest sister, Lao Fan, Han Sanpin, Yu Feihong, Wu Jing, Zhou Zhiruo, etc.
But the time in one day is limited, and there will be commercial performances starting tomorrow, so Jiang Yan spent a day to catch up.
If you really can't finish the trip, you can only call and let us know.
Of course, except for the eldest sister and Zhou Zhiruo, the eldest sister would be better off early. On the eighth day of the lunar month, if you go early, you won’t be able to get in, and it’s easy to get a 404.
Zhou Zhiruo said there was no need to rush and we would wait until there was more time next time.
So Jiang Yan saves trouble, and Wu Jing is the last one here.
Wu Jing originally wanted to drag Jiang Yan to see his master. He heard that Lian Jie was coming to pay New Year's greetings tomorrow, but when he heard that Jiang Yan was actually giving in for money, he shouted on the spot that he was unloyal.
However, when he heard Jiang Yan's sky-high price, he immediately lost his temper:
"Is your throat made of gold, or is your throat made of gold?"
"Don't worry about what it's made of, just keep it cooked!"
That night, he took Wu Yong, Li Xiuxiu and other five people, as well as Wu Jing's eight little brothers who came temporarily to act as bodyguards, and went directly to the Magic City.
...
The 2.3 million commercial performance caused a certain sensation in Shanghai and even across the country.
Coupled with Jiang Yan's own popularity, in addition to the customers who come here to visit the mall, there are also countless local fans in the mall.
Seeing the crowds of people turning out to be more popular than expected, the wealthy man who spent money beamed with joy.
And Jiang Yan also bought one and got one free. After singing "Gong Xi Fa Cai", he sang "The Wind Rises".
Both songs have auspicious meanings, and the atmosphere is very lively. Jiang Yan finally spent ten minutes to advertise in the mall, asking everyone to buy, buy, buy. To put it bluntly, they are bringing goods. With so many fans, just one fan is enough.
It can contribute a lot of turnover, and after ten minutes, you can get 2.3 million easily.
Declining the banquet invited by the rich man, Jiang Yan and his party headed directly to the next city.
There are still thirteen games left, and the time is tight and the tasks are heavy, so there is no room for delay.
On the third day, some media published an interview with the owner of the Magic City Mall.
Tu Xi smiled brightly and said directly, as soon as Jiang Yan arrived, the mall's sales exceeded five million that day, which was more than the previous two weeks, and it didn't fall back much the next day. It can be said that Jiang Yan was really worth every penny.
Simply the God of Wealth!
The same feedback was also repeated in other shopping malls in the following days.
After all, Jiang Yan has too many fans, so the number of people he brings is not small.
Plus he still had the newspaper in his hand.
The newspaper made a detailed comparison between Jiang Yan and Hong Kong and Taiwan singers.
Second-tier singers from Hong Kong and Taiwan are taller than first-tier mainland singers when they come to the Mainland. Is this normal?
As Jiang Yan has surpassed Hong Kong and Taiwan singers, plus it was his first show, it was Chinese New Year, and "Gong Xi Fa Cai" was released, which directly doubled the mall's sales many times, so is the price expensive?
So just like that, the sporadic negative news on the market disappeared, and Jiang Yan added the title of "God of Wealth" to his head by cooperating with "Gong Xi Fa Cai".
Many people think it is reasonable, otherwise how could Jiang Yan write "Gong Xi Fa Cai"?
After Jiang Yan saw the report, he shook his head and smiled:
"You are the God of Wealth!"
Fourteen commercial performances in seven days, except for the first one which was 2.3 million, the rest were all 1.2 million, with an after-tax income of nearly 14 million, it was clear who was the God of Wealth.
Of course, once you have made enough money, you will no longer accept commercial roles unless you have no choice. After all, things are more valuable when they are scarce.
Oh, and also, the delivery routine should be used sparingly, otherwise it won’t work if used too much.
