Chapter 75 Shutdown

A song by a quasi-newcomer in the music industry has topped the charts in just two days. This is obviously something that has attracted the attention of the entire music industry.

With double coverage by print media and online media, "Girl with Wings" suddenly became popular overnight. It spread throughout the streets and alleys of the capital, and began to spread to several nearby provinces and cities at the speed of light.

There was no warning in advance. If anything, the promotion of the song "Meet in 1998" in the first five days gave people some impressions of Bao Yunyun, a 24-year-old new singer.

But what is ironic is that the first title song "Meet Me in 1998" did not become popular, but the second title song "Girl Waving Wings" unexpectedly became popular!

This probability is incredibly small in the entire music world.

Especially when the "Beijing Morning Post" also published the news that the song "Girl with Waving Wings" topped the song chart, people couldn't help but look at this new female singer Bao Yunyun.

A new artist can quickly have his songs on the charts within one day before the new album is released, occupying the first place on the on-demand chart. This is a very rare sign, which makes many people's eyes jump and realize that today's

I'm afraid there is a phoenix in the music scene that is about to take off!

But compared to the public's attention, in the eyes of professionals, the name Li Qing deserves more attention than Bao Yunyun.

The excellence of the song "Girl with Wings" can be seen by anyone who is not blind. The person who can create this song is either a genius, or someone who has been hiding in the world and practicing for decades to return to his original nature.

Everyone in the realm!

But just a song would not surprise these professionals.

But... when they looked through the records, they were surprised to find that the first title song of Bao Yunyun's album, "Meet in 1998," was unexpectedly excellent!

Some masters have sharp eyesight, and they can tell at a glance that the song "Meet at Ninety-Eight" is not bad, but that this song is too high-level!

Most people can't sing that taste at all!

Even Bao Yunyun's extremely extreme voice cannot support this song of contemporary significance for the time being.

This is definitely a masterpiece for everyone!

As a result, the name Li Qing slowly appeared in the eyes of first- and second-tier songwriters in the music industry as a songwriter for the first time.

At the same time, some first-line singers who can become kings and queens as long as they get a good song have all set their sights on the name Li Qing.

However, when they searched the entire circle, they were shocked to find that there was no songwriter named Li Qing at all!

But the singer named Li Qing has one...

But this person is a talent show singer who has just turned eighteen!

Regardless of age, experience, identity, and status, everything is inconsistent with imagination!

But when they looked through the past resume of this talent show singer, many people frowned.

The three songs "Angel Wings", "Fly Higher" and "Wild Son" are undoubtedly works by famous artists!

This Li Qing indeed has a monster-level composition talent!

but……

Compared with "Girl with Wings" and "Meet at 98", is the style too different...

Is it really him?

Beijing, Yuanzheng Media Company, Recording Department.

With a "pop" sound, a copy of "Beijing Morning News" was placed gently on the table by Mu Guiying. She closed her eyes and stretched out two fingers to squeeze her pulsating temples.

The entire conference room could hear the drop of a needle.

Looking at Mu Guiying, who was pretending to be calm, Mr. Wang sneered at the corner of his mouth, stretched his body forward, tapped his fingers on the table slightly, and said lightly with a slightly mocking tone: "Mr. Mu, this Bao Yunyun is not simple, the album is not ready yet.

As soon as it was released, it topped the song charts. With this strength, tsk tsk, it seems that the Platinum Godfather’s reputation is well-deserved.”

Ignoring Wang's strange annoyance, Mu Guiying opened her eyes and glanced at the executives in front of the conference table with an ugly expression.

She found that many people had a look of gloating over misfortune, which made Mu Guiying feel a little angry. Only Leng Ling still looked at the newspaper in his hand calmly, as if he was not listening to what was going on outside the window.

Mu Guiying took a deep breath, and suddenly laughed and said: "That's good, so that others won't say that I went on an expedition to bully the newcomers."

After saying that, she turned around and asked: "Che Mei, are you sure Bao Yunyun's new album will be released tomorrow?"

Che Mei, who acted as the assistant to the deputy general manager, heard the words and nodded quickly: "Yes, Mr. Mu, the news we got is that their new album has been gradually arriving in the hands of major dealers, with a total of 500,000 cassettes and 200 sets of tapes.

Tens of thousands of CDs…”

Everyone in the field took a breath when they heard this data.

Good guy, 500,000 sets of tapes and 200,000 CDs, this newcomer’s shipments are exactly what A-list singers are touting. This guy is aiming for the honor of getting a platinum record!

As expected of Ma Xuyi, most producers who work alone cannot show such courage!

Even in some large companies, how can ordinary newcomers achieve such shipments?

It’s almost a tenfold reduction!

You know, 500,000 sets of tapes and 200,000 CDs are enough for a newcomer to sell for a year.

Mu Guiying nodded, looked at Leng Ling, and said softly: "How about we arrange a formal press conference for you tomorrow?"

Leng Ling raised his head and smiled: "I don't care, I will listen to Sister Ying's arrangements."

"Okay." Mu Guiying smiled and said: "But Sister Ying also hopes you can understand that the company is so big that we cannot allow some clowns to provoke them at will. Don't worry, Sister Ying will never fight a battle that is uncertain, no matter it is

Platinum Godfather or who else?"

Leng Ling hummed and suddenly said: "Sister Ying, have you read this newspaper?"

"What newspaper?" Mu Guiying asked confused.

Leng Ling handed the newspaper in his hand to Mu Guiying.

Mu Guiying lowered her head, this is "New Entertainment Weekly".

She knew that Leng Ling would not pay attention to a newspaper for no reason, so she kept silent, spread out the entertainment section, and read it carefully.

The entire conference room fell into silence. The executives looked at me and I looked at you, with helpless expressions.

As long as Mu Guiying, the authoritarian queen, exists, their right to speak will always be suppressed.

There is no way, who would let others have a higher position than themselves?

Leng Ling drank hot tea, tapping the tea cup with her slender fingers, looking a little careless.

"The Li Qing mentioned in this newspaper...is our company's Li Qing?"

After a while, Mu Guiying raised her head with an ugly expression.

She knew that "New Entertainment Weekly" was a newspaper with good sales in the capital, ranking among the top three men in the entire capital. However, because he had been supporting Li Qing and Dahei in the "Music Star" shady incident not long ago, Mu Mu

Guiying is not interested in this newspaper industry.

And the newspaper they released today, like the "Beijing Morning Post", was reporting on the news that "Girl with Wings" landed at the top of the song chart. All the reports were almost the same as the "Beijing Morning Post".

However, one piece of news had to make Mu Guiying take it seriously, and she began to get angry.

There are only a few sentences in this message, which only promotes Bao Yunyun's new album "Heavy Rain Pear Blossom". More than half of the songs in it were composed by Li Qing...

Although this news was not on the headlines, it was only briefly mentioned, and there was a big question mark, and it seemed uncertain, but Mu Guiying still found it extremely dazzling!

Because she knows that this is probably true!

If someone had told her half a year ago that Li Qing was one of the top 10 songwriters and a genius in songwriting, she would have scoffed!

But now, Mu Guiying is convinced!

It was also because Li Qing's talent in songwriting suddenly burst out as bright as the sun, so Mu Guiying ignored the previous grudges and re-created a ten-year contract in an attempt to bind Li Qing again.

There is one clause in the contract that Mu Guiying attaches most importance to!

That’s work priority!

For every song that Li Qing creates, if there are relevant copyrights that he wants to sell, then Li Qing, who has this priority contract, will be the first to consider Expedition Company whether he likes it or not.

Only songs that Yuanzheng Company does not want to buy can be resold to other companies with the consent of Yuanzheng Company.

This is a clever plan that Mu Guiying came up with on her own. It complies with all legal regulations. As long as Li Qing signs it, he will never be able to fly again.

But unfortunately, Li Qing refused to sign!

He refused!

He actually refused the visa!

Say important things three times...

It was precisely because Li Qing refused to sign that he completely angered Mu Guiying.

It's just that Mu Guiying didn't expect that Li Qing's counterattack would come so quickly, and one after another, just to squeeze out Xie Sijie and Wendi Zhao in "Music Star", he would even try to snatch the photo contract that Wendi Zhao was about to sign!

Now, she has actually written seven high-quality songs in a row, and has teamed up with platinum producer Ma Xuyi to promote a new female singer!

how?

Are you eager to arm-wrestle with the company again?

Mu Guiying closed the newspaper coldly. Thinking of those seven songs, her heart seemed to be bleeding.

Especially when she thought that every song by Li Qing had the quality of "Girl with Wings" and every song had the potential to be in the top ten of the song charts, Mu Guiying felt a wave of excitement.

of discomfort.

There was even a hint of regret.

However, thinking of the second young master's instructions back then, Mu Guiying couldn't help but grit her teeth slightly.

She knew that she had to bear this responsibility.

Otherwise, I am afraid that the next Li Qing will be me!

Thinking of this, she immediately said: "No matter what, the plan goes ahead as usual. If you have any suggestions, let's wait until the results come out!"

Leng Ling paused, but she didn't say anything. She was not proficient in management. Under normal circumstances, she would respect Sister Ying's decision. Facts have also proved that although Sister Ying is strong and authoritarian, she rarely makes mistakes.

when.

Otherwise, we would not be able to control such a huge department.

So under Mu Guiying's gaze, Leng Ling nodded slightly.

Everyone looked at each other, although they all hesitated, but in the end no one raised any objection.

In fact, speaking of it, ranking first on the song list is nothing.

For a diva, when has she released a new album and not ranked first?

The queen's triple platinum certification is no joke.

It was a result of hard work on the battlefield.

There are tens of millions of fans in the entire Chinese-speaking community, all over the country!

If it's the Windmill Band, it might be worth paying attention to.

But a newcomer?

Sorry, I'm really not qualified to provoke. To be reasonable, if I say I'll crush you, I'll crush you. There's no ambiguity at all.

After all, the meeting ended with Mu Guiying's dictatorial decision.

Everything is going according to the previous plan.

----

December 25th, Christmas.

Early in the morning, Zheng Guocheng came to the company with a slicked back hair and a high-spirited look. Then he immediately sent someone to the music supermarket to wait and watch the fans buying albums.

The tense time has come when the bayonet sees red. It’s impossible not to pay attention!

Every album sold boosts the morale of the entire company!

According to the previous analysis, as long as nothing unexpected happens, this album will definitely sell for a good price!

A platinum record is definitely not the end!

According to Zheng Guocheng's guess, "Heavy Rain Pear Blossoms" will sell half a million copies within two months!

Half a year later, even if there are pirated copies, as long as it is properly promoted, it can still reach one million sales!

And this is only half a year!!

What if one year later or two years later?

The accumulated records will definitely have the potential to become a double platinum record!

Double platinum record!

Zheng Guocheng's eyes are shining. This honor is not available to most record companies in China!

But now, Hongzhi Records has hope to get it!

However, just as Zheng Guocheng was walking back and forth in the office with great expectations, waiting excitedly for the sales results, a piece of news like a bolt from the blue suddenly shocked him.

"You, what did you say?"

Zheng Guocheng opened his mouth and stared at the company's music director Pu Shengyin in astonishment.

The words the other party said were like thunder, buzzing in my ears.

Pu Shengyin swallowed hard and repeated what he had just said with fear: "Ten minutes ago, Yuanzheng Media summoned reporters from various media! A press conference was held - a new album press conference!"

New album?

Whose new album?

Zheng Guocheng's whole body seemed to be concentrated by lightning. He was stunned for a long time before he came back to his senses. Then he seemed like a drowning man trying to grab the last life-saving straw. He said with a glimmer of hope in his eyes: "...

…Whose?”

Pu Sheng paused and said, "Leng Ling!"

As soon as this name appeared, Zheng Guocheng fell silent and could not say anything.

The entire conference room was in a commotion!

"How is this possible!"

"Didn't you investigate beforehand? Isn't Leng Ling planning to release a new album during the Spring Festival?"

"Why did you suddenly hold a new album press conference? There was no sign at all!"

"Is this news false?"

"It's not reliable at all! Will the queen give up on such a big market during the Spring Festival holiday?"

Facing the giant crocodile of Yuan Zheng and the queen Leng Ling, the staff of Hongzhi Records were in a panic and all of them were angry.

This is breaking market rules!

Why was there no warning in advance?

Even with the slightest hint, Hongzhi Records would not choose to release the album at this time!

PK with the queen?

No one dared to imagine this result.

Various expressions appeared on the faces of the staff. The staff were obviously caught off guard by the news.

Looking at the noisy conference room, the company's chief producer Zhang Xuan took a deep breath and clapped her hands to quiet the staff. Then she frowned and looked at Pu Shengyin: "Shengyin, are you sure... the information is reliable?"

Pu Shengyin said helplessly: "Sister Xuan'er, I can't believe it either! But it is indeed true. I asked three media outlets in a row. They are indeed on the expedition now, and according to their revelations, more than 90% of the media in the entire capital are going.

Participated in Leng Ling’s new album press conference held there!”

"This is so sudden!"

When Zhang Xuan heard this, he understood that this was basically true. As a senior executive of the company, Pu Shengyin still had some information channels. He immediately frowned and sighed: "Why didn't there be any information beforehand... I

Isn’t this Expedition Company the one causing trouble? If Leng Ling had explained it in advance, who in the entire circle would dare not to give way to her? "

"Stop arguing and call the production line!"

Zheng Guocheng, who had been quiet for a long time, now slumped in his chair, as if he had aged more than ten years.

He waved his hand feebly, and all his ambitions seemed to have disappeared. He said with a bitter look: "Tell them to stop work immediately. Let's observe the sales situation in the past two weeks. Well, that's it. There are still some in the factory.

The inventory is enough to last until next week anyway..."

"But..." Zhang Xuan hesitated.

"No but, something happened suddenly, Teacher Ma... don't tell him yet!"

Zheng Guocheng paused, and faced the doubtful looks of the employees, he said sadly: "Our company is small in scale, no better than the expedition, and cannot withstand the torment of strong winds and waves. If there is a slight mistake, it will be doomed. We can only take one step at a time. I believe Ma

The teacher will understand..."
