Chapter 240: To make short films and write songs, just invite one person.
It’s the end of April, the weather has begun to gradually warm up, and many people have changed out of their original bulky down jackets.
At this time, the fourth show of Sha Yetong's tour has ended.
The third show in Shanghai brought a third new song called "Beginning to Understand".
And the song "Later" that was re-released in the fourth show pushed the popularity of the concert to the highest peak.
But with the end of the fourth concert, the impact is still huge.
With the two new songs that followed, sales of Sha Yetong's second album successfully exceeded four million.
This means that the sales of Sha Yetong’s two albums exceeded 300 million, and only less than 100,000 were left.
Even Sha Yetong, who had never cared much about the specific sales of albums before, this time also stayed in front of the computer.
Cloud Music and Penguin Music have already made statistics and provided relevant websites for netizens to witness together.
“Only 2,400 photos left!”
Youman said nervously.
Although she knew that it was only a matter of time for Sha Yetong to become a queen of songs, when it really came to this time, she still inevitably became a little nervous.
"Only 1,900 left!"
As if counting down, in addition to Sha Yetong and Youman, there were also some company staff around at this time.
There are Sha Yetong’s managers, assistants and so on.
In addition, Xu Ji, who is far away from abroad, also spends the whole night squatting in front of the computer, playing video games with Sha Yetong and the others.
After all, it was the moment when Sha Yetong became the queen of singing, so naturally Xu Ji would not be absent without sleeping.
"100!"
When the sales volume was only one hundred copies, the number instantly returned to zero.
Sales exceeded 300 million!
There were bursts of cheers at the scene.
Xu Ji and Sha Yetong looked at each other and smiled.
"Congratulations."
Xu Ji said.
Sha Yetong replied with a smile: "Same joy."
Then he subconsciously looked at Xu Ji on the screen of his mobile phone and asked subconsciously:
"Xiao Xuzi, when will you come back?"
"Miss you."
Upon hearing Sha Yetong's words, Sha Yetong's agent and assistant immediately cast gossipy glances.
Sha Yetong's identity is different from that of ordinary artists. After all, he is still one of their bosses.
The scandal between Sha Yetong and Xu Ji has been circulating on the Internet for who knows how long, and the cp party has many members.
Youman actually knew that the two of them were getting along for a long time, but he never revealed it.
The two of them spent a lot of time flirting with each other.
So I didn’t feel anything at all at this time, and I even felt like I was immune because I had eaten too much dog food.
After coughing as a reminder, he forcibly led other people present to leave the lounge.
While Sha Yetong and Xu Ji were making videos like ordinary young lovers, fans online were celebrating crazily.
Even many passers-by and ordinary netizens participated spontaneously.
After all, this is a record-breaking thing. The youngest diva in history, a 24-year-old diva, probably not many people believed her before.
Moreover, two albums have achieved sales of 300 million, which is definitely very rare.
Or maybe I'm wrong. Sha Yetong's second album has not yet been fully released. It can only be considered as a half-album release, and it is still in the pre-sale stage.
Sha Yetong's Weibo is also rarely updated, although it is Youman who actively helps to update the updates.
The content is naturally to celebrate the album sales reaching 300 million.
Although the official list has not yet been updated every week, according to traditional judgment standards, Sha Yetong definitely meets the requirements of a diva.
But what surprised everyone was that the official singer rankings, which were originally updated at the same time every week, were suddenly and unexpectedly updated in advance!
Sure enough, everyone was not disappointed, Sha Yetong's name disappeared from the original list of first-line singers.
It directly became a super first-line singer.
Although she is ranked last on the super first-line list with a small number of people, it also marks that Sha Yetong is officially recognized as a singer.
Under Sha Yetong's Weibo, the number of comments in the comment area quickly exceeded 100,000.
There are all congratulatory voices below, including artists signed by Tongji Entertainment, as well as some entertainment stars who know Sha Yetong.
Of course, there are many comments from passers-by who are not fans, and they all lament Sha Yetong's growth speed.
"The youngest singer in the Chinese music scene, she has witnessed history and belongs to her!"
"I was a little confused. I had obviously listened to so many of her songs, but now when I looked at it, I realized that she had only debuted for more than two years."
"I still remember when I watched Girls from the Produce Camp, I thought Sha Yetong was a little impulsive in quitting the competition. I didn't expect that in just two years, she was already a diva."
......
At the same time, at Phoenix Entertainment, Li Bokai, as the initiator of the April sniper plan, has completely given up at this time.
"How do you remember me?"
"With a smile or in silence"
......
As the chairman of the board, Li Borui entered his brother's office and heard Sha Yetong's recently popular new song "Later"
Suddenly my head was full of black lines.
Without even asking, Li Bokai should have given up hope completely.
Especially the news that Sha Yetong has been sealed just now.
At this time, Li Bokai seems to have become a fan of Sha Yetong since the last song "Riding a White Horse".
Although I don’t admit it, I accidentally saw the playlist on the other party’s computer last time, and it was basically all Sha Yetong’s songs.
Li Borui, who had originally planned to continue thinking of tricks, suddenly had no intention of continuing.
There is a feeling of helplessness: "The ministers are about to fight to the death, why does Your Majesty surrender first?"
"Later, I finally learned how to love"
"It's a pity that you have already gone away and disappeared into the sea of people"
......
Li Bokai was humming along and lying comfortably on his chair. He didn't notice Li Borui who came in without knocking.
"Cough~cough"
After Li Boru coughed twice, Li Bokai reacted.
Then he looked at Li Bokai with a calm expression.
"What's wrong?"
Seeing this, Li Borui also told the news he had just received.
"The total sales of Sha Yetong's two albums have exceeded 300 million."
"Now she is the youngest singer in the history of Chinese music scene."
Having said this, he paused for a few seconds before continuing.
"Should we continue with our previous plan?"
After Li Bokai heard what the other party said, he spread his hands with some lack of interest.
"Forget it, I got it wrong this time."
"Based on the current situation, we have no chance to make a comeback."
Hearing that Li Bokai planned to give up, Li Borui, as the chairman, also breathed a sigh of relief.
He was afraid that the other party was determined to go hard on this matter.
This is not a good thing for the two brothers who just took over the company.
"By the way, there's also the reason why many people in the company are very angry because the release date of the singers' albums was changed in April."
"And some other singers are also worried that if the company continues to behave like this in the future, they will not be able to accept it."
Li Borui's words made his brother Li Bokai couldn't help but frown.
He doesn't like this phenomenon very much, because it means that he doesn't have a complete grasp of the company.
Otherwise, those people would not question the company's decision.
Even if this decision is wrong.
"First arrange for people to appease these people."
"In addition, those artists who are focusing on releasing albums in April should be provided with appropriate resources to supplement their efforts."
Li Bokai opened his mouth to answer.
He wanted to suppress the matter directly, and even chose to freeze the artists and managers who complained loudly.
But after all, Phoenix Entertainment has only taken over the company for more than a month, so they may lose people's hearts if they do this.
The safer approach is to settle the score later.
Now that the ambitious people in the company have been cleared out, as long as Li Bokai is given enough time, he is confident that he can achieve or even surpass the level of his father Li Xingyao.
Of course, this is all Li Bokai’s own opinion.
......
In Shanghai, in the planning department of g station headquarters, everyone in the office was running around in a hurry.
It can be seen from the tired looks on the faces of everyone, including leaders and employees, that many people have not had a good rest for a long time.
"Meeting again?"
"God! Please spare me! I feel like I have to work overtime again today."
"I just want the company's money, the company is trying to kill me!"
As a fresh graduate Xiaolin who came to g station for internship, it is obvious that he cannot adapt to such intense work.
"Keep your voice down!"
"When I hear this, an intern like you will probably leave directly, let alone become a full-time employee."
An old employee reminded me.
It’s not that others have good intentions, it’s mainly because the intern Xiao Lin is pretty.
The advantage of looks is still of great use even in the workplace.
"Isn't it just a tenth anniversary event?"
"As for risking your life like this?"
Hearing what intern Xiao Lin said, several people around him couldn't help but shake their heads.
This is nothing, they are used to it.
And if the 10th anniversary event is not done well, not only will the bonuses be gone, but if you don’t pay attention, even the people will have to leave.
......
"Okay, let's have a meeting."
"Today is mainly about the 10th anniversary song and short film."
"I have received the news that the anniversary song on Penguin Video was written by the lyrics and music of Smallpox."
"Do you have any good suggestions?"
As the person in charge of the g station planning department, Dai Xuezhi felt a lot of pressure.
The tenth anniversary celebration of Station G will be held in early May, but many details of the relevant planning are still not determined.
Not to mention that time is tight, what I fear most is that I will not be able to complete the tasks assigned by the company's senior management this time.
Fortunately, the financial budget given this time is still sufficient, and in theory, the star lineup that can be invited for the anniversary celebration will not be too bad.
But before the anniversary party started, she couldn't find any relevant commemorative short films and songs that satisfied her.
I found some songwriters and the songs they wrote either didn’t fit the theme or the quality didn’t meet the requirements.
Speaking of which, May is a very critical time of the year for G station and the three major video websites.
Because the four websites were established around May by coincidence.
As Penguin Video set a precedent a few years ago and held an anniversary celebration, and the results were very good, several other websites began to follow suit.
Compared with potatoes and kiwis, g station even joined the list two years later.
But it is still inevitable to compete secretly with other video websites.
After all, it still involves the issue of face.
Therefore, anniversary celebrations have gradually become one of the ways for several websites to show their strength.
Although g station has been established the longest among them, its strength in all aspects including funding is indeed the worst.
So after participating, I have basically always been at the bottom.
Everyone is used to it.
After all, G Station has no money, and it can’t afford to hire any top-notch celebrities.
But this time it’s different. It’s the tenth anniversary after all. In addition, G station made a lot of money last year thanks to its cooperation with Xu Ji and several popular dramas.
So I want to take advantage of the tenth anniversary to strengthen the influence of G station.
It's just that although you have money, it doesn't solve everything.
Like the other three websites, because they are originally related to the three major entertainment companies and some other large companies, they can achieve a very luxurious star configuration without any effort at all.
As for G station, according to the general market value, it is really unbeatable.
But if you add money arbitrarily, the problem can indeed be solved. But in that case, even if the budget is very high this time, it will still be exceeded.
......
Dai Xuezhi listened in silence for nearly half an hour, but still frowned.
She simply felt that there was no possibility of implementing the candidates and suggestions put forward by many people.
"Any more?"
Dai Xuezhi asked, but the conference room suddenly fell into an eerie silence.
"Acting for...acting for the president."
Just when she was completely disappointed and was about to give up, she suddenly saw a young man sitting at the back who could only stand and raised his hand.
"Xiao Lin, what are you doing!"
"Acting President, she is an intern from the department and doesn't understand the rules."
According to Dai Xuezhi's previous work rules, interns or newcomers in the probation period can observe meetings, but cannot participate at will.
But what surprised everyone this time was that Dai Xuezhi did not curse, but pointed to the position of intern Xiao Lin and gestured to speak.
Intern Xiao Lin was a little scared at this time. After all, Dai Xuezhi, as the department boss, still has a strong aura.
But thinking about it, isn’t it because of these things that I worked overtime for half a day?
He simply said without fear:
"President, I don't think this is difficult at all!"
"There is a very suitable person."
"I can not only make a commemorative short film, but also help write songs!"
"As long as we can invite Xu Ji, everything will be solved."
"And the 10th anniversary party won't have a suitable candidate yet, right?"
"It's just the right time for Xu Ji and Sha Yetong to come, the heat will definitely not be low by then!"
After intern Xiao Lin finished speaking, he looked smug.
After all, she felt that her proposal was definitely the most suitable.
But when I glanced in the direction of the acting president, I found that he was still as expressionless as before.
Even the other people in the conference room didn't look excited.
