December 3rd, two days before the release of Bao Yunyun's first album "Heavy Rain Pear Blossom".
At Hongzhi Records, general manager Zheng Guocheng came to the conference room with a frown. In the conference room, several producers, directors and other senior executives of the company were already sitting quietly.
After Zheng Guocheng glanced at the executives in the audience, he asked the statistician next to him: "How many are there?"
The statistician understood it and said quickly: "As of an hour ago, the song "Meet in 1998" currently ranks 29th on the national radio song list."
"Not even within the top twenty?" Zheng Guocheng felt something was wrong.
Zheng Guocheng had heard the song "Meet in 1998". The picture described in the song was very in line with the characteristics of the current era. Even he had to praise the composer of this song, but...
It’s been almost five days since I started ranking, but why haven’t I even reached the top 20 on the list?
This is the first title song, the best song in the entire album, but it didn’t even make it into the top twenty...
Although Bao Yunyun is a newcomer, the quality of the songs is on the table, and it is not so bad.
What went wrong?
Zheng Guocheng frowned tightly, "What did Teacher Ma say?"
"Teacher Ma did not express his position. He seemed to be full of confidence in this album. In addition to leading Bao Yunyun to chart on major radio stations these days, he has not been distracted and focused on other things."
The statistician said with some hesitation: "However, the second title song "Girl with Waving Wings" just released last night seems to be quite popular..."
"How do you say that?" Zheng Guocheng asked in surprise.
"Less than twenty-four hours after its release, "Girl with Wings" has reached the 44th place on the song list..." the data clerk said doubtfully.
"Forty-four..." Zheng Guocheng was even more surprised. He thought about it and said to several senior executives present: ""Heavy Rain Pear Blossom" is the top priority of our Hongzhi Records this year. Several songs in the album,
By now, everyone should have heard it, what do you think of the two title songs just released?"
"I opposed it from the beginning!"
A fat man wearing glasses said in a high-pitched voice: ""Meet in 1998" is good, but a song that expresses social emotions in this way is not suitable for charting. The title song is set between "Listening to the Sea" and "Those"
For the songs "Flowers" and "Girls Waving Wings", the data will definitely not be the same as it is now. Mr. Zheng, you have also seen that "Girls Waving Wings" was released less than twenty hours ago, and it was only yesterday
I promoted it on a radio station in the evening and it has already reached the top fifty. This figure is obviously very gratifying. If I promote it on a few more radio stations, the ranking effect will definitely be incredible!"
"I think so. There is no doubt that the album "Heavy Rain" is definitely one of the top albums this year in terms of song quality, if not one of the best. More than half of the songs in it are suitable for being an album.
used as the title song, but if it were to hit the charts, "Meet Me in 1998" was obviously not suitable. But in order to let Bao Yunyun attend the unambiguous Spring Festival Gala, Teacher Ma abruptly changed this song to the number one title song.
This has seriously interfered with our next plan of Hongzhi Records."
Zhang Xuan, the producer of Hongzhi Records, said helplessly: "The new album will be released in two days. According to the current data, it will be difficult to sell a gold record, let alone a platinum record. We can't
Slowly simmering, I can’t wait, and I can’t afford to wait for this album to slowly rise.”
"You know, there are also sharp-eyed people among the current pirates. The quality of this album is obvious to all. As time goes by, pirated CDs and tapes will definitely appear on the market. By then, no matter how popular this album is, it will
What’s the use? Aren’t those pirates making money?”
Others also expressed their opinions one after another, with roughly the same meaning. They all asked Zheng Guocheng to persuade Ma Xuyi to change the title song. It is indeed a supreme honor to be included in the Spring Festival Gala, but it does not mean much to their record company.
, the current vested interests are obviously more important.
Otherwise, if things continue like this, they may not necessarily lose money, but they certainly won't make much profit. After all, their profit sharing is particularly large in terms of sales sharing. Under this sharing model, the less they sell, the greater the profit their company can get.
of low.
Zheng Guocheng was quite helpless about this situation. After everyone's persuasion, he took out his mobile phone and made a call to Ma Xuyi, recounting the unanimous discussion within the company.
Ma Xuyi was silent for a while, then smiled and said: "Okay, maybe I am too worried and too cautious! I always feel sleepy these days, for fear that this album will be too outrageous and people will hate me.
It's a big mistake. But now that you have said so, I also understand the pressure of your company. Today I will take Yunyun to visit a few more radio stations to try to get the song "Girl with Wings" on the charts.
Top ten!”
After receiving Ma Xuyi's promise, Zheng Guocheng breathed a sigh of relief. After hanging up the phone, he informed the executives in the conference room of the news.
"Hated by others?"
The fat man wearing glasses, Pu Shengyin, who was the director of Hongzhi Records at the time, sneered: "Does this Ma Xuyi think too highly of himself? I wish this album would be so popular that people would hate it. The problem is, now it's not even in the top ten of the list."
If you can’t get in, who will be jealous?”
Producer Zhang Xuan also laughed: "Mr. Ma may still be living in the glory days of leading the Windmill Band a few years ago, but the problem is that that era has long passed..."
Zheng Guocheng sighed helplessly: "Anyway, Teacher Ma chose to change the title song. Our goal has been achieved. Next, whether it will be a big hit and soar into the sky, or a disgraced face and fall off the cliff, just look at today's "Girl"
The performance of this song.”
…
At ten o'clock in the morning, the sky in Beijing was warm.
Zhou Shu took her four-year-old daughter to bask in the sun in the garden of her community.
Today is Saturday, there are no calligraphy classes, but my husband, Xu Baofeng, as an associate professor at Jinghua University, has no time off. He has been busy in the laboratory for the past few months. He occasionally goes home and stays there for one night.
Leaving in a hurry made Zhou Shu feel sad for a long time every time.
Daughter Huihui didn't miss her father who often didn't show up, but every time her father came home, Huihui would cry and make trouble and wouldn't let her father hold her, as if she were a stranger, which made Xu Baofeng very embarrassed.
Seeing this, Zhou Shu felt pain in her heart and resented her husband even more. However, she was born with a proud temperament and she was unwilling to talk to anyone else about her grievances. She just buried all her thoughts in her heart.
Over time, the relationship between husband and wife became less intense than when they got married.
Xu Baofeng is also a man with a slightly low emotional intelligence. He is not aware of his wife's emotions and just focuses on the laboratory.
In order to make up for Huihui's lack of fatherly love, her mother decided to stay with Huihui for these two days. No matter what Huihui's request was, she would try her best to satisfy it.
In the pavilion next to the mother and daughter, several uncles were playing chess in high spirits.
"eat!"
"General!"
"Let's go! Haha, old cow, you lost again!"
"Let me tell you, Lao Niu, your chess skills have really declined recently. Do you want to play again?"
An honest old man smiled and waved his hand: "Forget it, I'd better listen to my opera. Playing chess takes too much effort..."
"That's the excuse again!" The other old men smiled and shook their heads. After Lao Niu left his seat, another old man sat down and started a new game with the winner.
After Lao Niu stood up with a smile, he turned on the radio in his hand and tuned it to the opera channel.
After listening for a while, he found that this time period was full of product placements. Lao Niu frowned and adjusted a few frequencies.
"Good afternoon, listeners. Do you still remember "Meet in 1998" that was broadcast on this channel a few days ago?"
Just after tuning a channel, Lao Niu heard the announcer's words.
"Meet in 1998"?
Old Newton lives here. If he remembers it well, he seemed to have heard this song a few days ago and felt it was very good. The singer has a very wide voice and sings the power of this song. What is even more rare is that the lyrics also capture the entire era.
The Pulse of Development is a good song praising the party and the country.
At the dinner table, my eldest son, who had finally returned home after a long trip, heard the song on the radio. He also expressed a strong interest in the song and made a few casual comments.
His son works at CCTV, so if he can catch his eye, it must have some weight.
It seems that this song is still on the shortlist for this year’s Spring Festival Gala?
"First of all, I would like to welcome the singer Bao Yunyun from "Meet Me in 1998" as a guest on "The Sound of Music". Yunyun would like to say hello to everyone!"
"Hello everyone, I'm Bao Yunyun. I'm very happy to come to "The Sound of Music" again. Thank you to the program team for giving me this opportunity!"
"Haha, Miss Bao is very humble! To be honest, Miss Bao was able to get the help of Teacher Ma, the platinum godfather of the music industry, which caused a great shock in the music industry. With Teacher Ma's support, Miss Bao's future is bright.
!After the broadcast of "Meet Me in 1998" a few days ago, it has also been liked by many fans. It is a big hit and is just around the corner. The host here wishes you a bright stardom in the future..."
"The host has given me the award. The most important thing is to thank my fans and friends. Thank you very much for your support..."
"Well, next, "The Sound of Music" will bring you a new song "Girl with Wings" by Bao Yunyun."
"This song tells the story of a girl's positive attitude towards pursuing love bravely. I believe the catchy melody will be liked by the majority of listeners..."
