Perfect Life

On Monday, May 13th, "Love in Troubled Times" officially premiered at 8 p.m. on a program on Huaxia TV.

For the audience, their first impression of this TV series is the sonorous and powerful "waves and waves" at the beginning. Fans who are familiar with and like Liao Liao have only listened to two or three sentences, and they are already determined. This is Liao Liao's voice.

After that, it's this wonderful TV story.

From the second day on, the song suddenly became a hit on the Voice of China on-demand channel. Almost one or two of the ten people who called to order the song would order the song on demand—some said it was on demand. "The Great River Goes to the East", this is carefully, read the end subtitles, and some say that "Lang Ben Lang Liu" is to be broadcast, this is the one who forgot the song name or did not read the subtitles, and what's more, just say it directly When the song in "Love in a Troubled World" is on-demand, the host or operator asks whether it is the theme song or the ending song, and the other party's answer is often a "running wave" that seems to be out of tune or out of tune.

Before the specific statistics came out, no one knew where this song could rank in the golden song list, but almost everyone who paid attention to this piece of information knew that this song was popular.

As a result, including the Voice of China, overnight, the sound of "running and running" began to appear frequently in various music programs of almost every radio station in the country. To play it a dozen times!

Piracy is very fast. Although the domestic piracy of audio and video and book piracy has always been strictly investigated, piracy is still very fast, especially for big-name singers like Liao Liao and singers of the Tianwang Tianhou level. As soon as their genuine copies came out, the pirates over there got the genuine copies, and then they began to convert the master tapes. At most, it took a day or two for the master tapes to enter the factory and go to the workshop.

Then, in about ten days to two weeks, pirated copies can be listed one after another. Within three weeks, it will definitely be spread all over the country - although during this period, because the shipment of genuine copies is also very large, audio and video stores make a lot more money from selling genuine copies than selling pirated copies. Therefore, they are not particularly inclined to sell pirated copies, and coupled with the state's crackdown, pirated copies cannot be sold arbitrarily, and often need to be hidden, to some extent. It also leaves a longer living space for the genuine version, but as long as you deliberately want to buy a pirated version, you can usually buy it in two or three weeks.

But within a few days of the song's appearance, even if the pirates are capable, it is impossible for them to get their pirated tapes out.

Therefore, "The Great River Goes East" became popular, but all the bookstores and audio-visual stores in the country were all out of stock. There are no genuine pirated copies.

And at this time. When the pirates over there were probably finishing the mastering and had already started producing the pirated tapes of "The Great River Goes East", on Saturday, May 18th, Liao Liao was a guest on the Voice of China Radio Station at 9:00 p.m. In the half prime time, he brought the first title song of his new album "Grateful Heart", "Dream Camel Bell".

Liao Liao's coming to do a show, even for a radio station at the level of Voice of China, is a big event. Naturally, it is appropriate to focus on publicity in advance. What's more, it is said that Liao Liao is coming with her new album?

So, there is no doubt that the listening rate of this night's program broke the table.

Regardless of whether it is the first title of the first broadcasted album "Dream Camel Bell". Or her subsequent rock work "Desert of Passion", which are absolutely classic and good songs, no matter whether they are Liao Liao's fans or not, for the listeners who have listened to this episode, there is no doubt that this Both songs gave them quite a "feast for the ears" feeling.

even. Just after the end of the show that night, "Dream Camel Bell" and "Passionate Desert" quickly became the biggest hits on demand from various hotlines, and by the next day, their popularity had risen to the point where they were not inferior to "Go East of the River". Degree!

That is, on this day, on May 18, Qi Jie sat in the warehouse of Shuntianfu and began to personally supervise the loading of trucks by the transportation company, and began to deliver goods from relatively far away provinces.

On the weekend of May 19, Liao Liao was a guest on a variety show on Dragon TV and sang the song "Crescent Moon Spring" from the new album live.

On Monday, May 20th, except for a very few two or three provinces such as Tibetan areas, publishers from all over the country who had previously contacted and signed supply contracts with Qi Jie began to arrive one after another. Dispatch to lower-level dealers.

On Wednesday, May 22, "Grateful Heart" was officially launched nationwide.

That is, on this day, the Voice of China Radio's Golden Songs on Demand List was released on time—

"The Great River Goes East", the second place.

"Dream Camel Bell", seventh.

"Passionate Desert", ninth place.

Moreover, you must know that when the former won the second place, the listeners and fans could not even buy any official publications such as tapes or CDs. To achieve this result, it was purely by virtue of one TV series, plus what I learned later was Liao Liao's new song. As for the last two songs, they even just appeared on Saturday night. They scored seventh and ninth respectively and successfully made the list. In fact, they only accumulated more than a day of on-demand views.

But the problem is, not to mention the fans outside, Liao Liao has released two albums, and it has been popular for two years. She has accumulated a considerable number of die-hard fans, but now, "Thanksgiving" "The Heart" has been officially launched, many fans heard the news and went to the bookstore or audio-visual store where they often buy tapes and CDs to ask, but found that they couldn't buy it!

For many fans, of course, if you can't buy it, then give up first, then don't buy it, but for some die-hard fans, since it's on the market, of course, they must hear Liao Liao's new songs as soon as possible, especially —If this fan is just fifteen to sixteen or seventeen years old, he is not even willing to wait a minute longer.

However, after all, someone still bought it.

Then, various news began to circulate among friends, classmates, and colleagues. For example, a certain audio and video store had stock, and someone bought it there. In terms of the strength of the distribution companies signed by Qi Jie, they really The problem is that they don't have the ability to easily release records to all video stores, so if a city has 100 supermarkets, video stores and bookstores that serve as sales terminals for records, then the publishers of their level The strength is probably that it can only cover thirty or forty, or even twenty or thirty companies, and in many cases, they cannot get very good shelves.

But even so, it's in stock. It's still in stock after all.

The lack of distribution volume and distribution points will of course affect sales to a large extent, but for the first group of fans who will actively buy new albums, it will have little impact—this group of people. Even willing to ride it on a bike for ten kilometers and eight kilometers to buy it, not to mention just changing to a video store a little further away?

As for whether to put it on the best and most conspicuous shelf, or on the shelf that is not easy to be noticed, for Liao Liao's new album, for Liao Liao's die-hard fans. Does it matter?

Liao Liao has already reached the point where he doesn't need fans to "discover".

Therefore, to a certain extent, it is no longer within the control of the store manager and salesperson to place Liao Liao's new album on the shelf. It only took two or three days for them to stock up again and again. After the ground is sold out, fools know where to put this album!

Even in just two or three days, those audio-visual stores that are not available from the distributors have already turned around and contacted the distributors proactively - buddy, is Liao Liao's new album in stock? from now on. Can you distribute the goods for me too?

After a few days of work, "Grateful Heart" has bloomed almost everywhere!

If, on the first day of the release of this album, when you are walking on the streets of any city, you probably only occasionally hear a video store playing the songs from this album on a loudspeaker, then you may If you are suddenly moved by a certain song and stop, then by the next day, your odds of walking on the street and hearing this album have suddenly doubled.

And when the time came to the third day, the feeling of "Perseverance" and "The Sound of the Waves" became popular all over the world. It seems to have come back suddenly, but this time, it has become "Dream Camel Bell" and "Passionate Desert". It became "Crescent Moon Spring", "Grateful Heart", and "Happy Hometown".

Only Liao Liao, or that Liao Liao.

For Li Qian Studio, or Minghu Culture Company, it started two days before the album was officially released. The office area here has completely turned into a battlefield.

The telephone rang one after another, and the data was quickly collected through the telephone line, and then sorted into various reports, which flew into Qi Jie's office like snowflakes.

Qi Jie didn't have the time or the mind to walk on the streets. For Li Qian's studio, which was the first to set foot in the publishing field, they had no experience to talk about and no one to rely on. Therefore, from the beginning, she Just sit in the company, carefully analyze all the reports, and carefully grasp any invoice.

It's hard to say anything else, but from the notices from various places, the one-week shipment of "Grateful Heart" greatly exceeded expectations, which made Qi Jie both surprised and puzzled. Because she has done a detailed investigation and analysis of her partners, she is very aware of the distribution capabilities of those companies. And according to normal circumstances, their shipments cannot be that fast!

So, after three days, she couldn't hold it in any longer, and finally made a phone call and inquired about several cooperative local distribution companies. Then, when all kinds of information came back, she suddenly realized that it was Liao Liao who activated the market!

The strength of publishers is limited, but Liao Liao's appeal and the appeal of "Grateful Heart" are so powerful that anyone who distributes it as an agent can sell it all over the world!

As a result, publishers from all over the world, who were originally mediocre in strength, have suddenly doubled, doubled, or even tripled their distribution network with the help of this album!

When the analysis got such a result, I had to say that although Qi Jie had always been confident in Li Qian and Liao Liao, she couldn't help being a little surprised, and subconsciously took out her mobile phone and wanted to call Li Qian.

But with the phone in her hand and the number found, she couldn't help but stop.

Immediately, she smiled to herself and put away the phone.

That's Liao Liao and Li Qian. For today's domestic music scene, it's natural for the two of them to join forces, no matter what height they reach, isn't it?

...

"Hello, Mr. Tong? I'm Liu Zhongxin from the Second Store in Songjiang Mansion! Is that "Grateful Heart" still out of stock? Oh, oh, ok, ok, ok, that's what. You'd better urge the record company again Over there, this album is the best time to make money. The 300 copies sent by the head office were not used for two days. It was sold out, and many members still ordered. , and everyone has reported that this album is not out of stock on the market, so some people have ordered it on the front foot. Then the back foot called to cancel the subscription, saying that it was bought outside. If things go on like this, we will only lose turnover and a lot of profits. where!"

"Okay, okay, I know, I'm urging, don't worry! Wait a minute, I'll hang up first!"

"Hey, Mr. Tong? I'm Lao Zhao from Shenyang Mansion. Do you still remember me? Haha, yes, yes, it's me, so what, our "Grateful Heart" has been out of stock for the third day, every day There are a large number of members who come to subscribe, but every day people call to unsubscribe, saying that it is available outside, which makes us very passive. You see... oh, well, well, then hurry up. This record Now it's just a money grab! Liao Liao's album is well-deserved... Hey, good, good, goodbye!"

Putting down the phone, Tong Qinghuan frowned in distress.

Then. He picked up the internal phone and said to the outside: "If there are more calls from branches around the world to urge the goods, don't transfer them to me, just say that I have already gone out to contact the record company to urge the goods!"

After saying this, he snapped the phone and sighed helplessly.

Then, after thinking about it, he took out his mobile phone and dialed a number.

When the call was connected, he said: "Old Huang? I'm an old boy from Dongguan Bookstore! I tell you... you don't need to talk to me about that, I tell you, I've been helping you for five days, and they have this week. I'm sure you won't be able to make it to the top of the rankings... No, don't even think about it! How much did you give me? You want me to continue pressing for 500,000 yuan?"

"Let me tell you, I'll help you press this album for five days, do you know how much pressure I've been under? Some people will dare to stab things at the office meeting if things go wrong. If that's the case, I'll suffer The board! Got it, let me tell you, I really have done my best brother! This is the end of this matter, understand? If you keep pressing it down, even I may fall into the pit, don't you know?...Yes, I promised you to press them for ten days, but then how did I know this album would sell so well?"

"You told me at the time that Liao Liao had changed employers, and her new album must not sell well! What happened? Do you know how much sales my company will lose if I help you press these five days? I told you You, once things get bigger, I won't be able to eat and walk away!"

After hanging up the phone, Tong Qinghuan thought for a while, then touched the phone again, then he came to open the desk, pulled out a business card, dialed the number, and when the call was connected, he hurriedly smiled: "Hello, Is it President Qi of Minghu Culture? Oh, hehe, I am the old boy of Dongguan Bookstore, Tong Qinghuan, ahaha, yes, it's me! That's how it is, our cooperation is still very pleasant, then you Look at this, about the follow-up supply, I think we can find a place to talk about it?...Oh, good, good, haha, oh, Qi is always a sensible person! Haha, good, good... Then I will wait You, let's see you back!"

After hanging up the phone, he thought for a while, picked up the intercom, and said to the outside: "Recently, the various branches have compiled the order for the album "Grateful Heart"? Well, okay, okay, arrange the warehouse over there , let’s send them all this time! How much? That’s no nonsense, how much is needed! If there’s not enough stock, I’ll be responsible for urging the goods over there. Of course, the things that are easy to sell should be distributed more!” Said When he got here, he slowed down and said in a soft and gentle voice: "That, by the way, when you look back, remember to sum up the number of reminders from various places, and give me the total number, um, that's it!"

...

Ten minutes later, the secretary came in and reported: "The branches all over the country have been out of stock since Thursday and Friday, and up to now, the order list we have saved needs to be adjusted. 625,000 cassettes and 113,000 CDs. In addition, there are many branches urging posters for this album. We were curious and called and asked. According to them, there are many Fans ran over and insisted on buying the posters that we used to hang and put up, saying that they wanted to buy them back for collection..."

Having said that, noticing that there was no response from President Tong, the secretary couldn't help but look up, only to find that his boss was actually dumbfounded, with his mouth slightly open.

After a while, Mr. Tong suddenly slammed a fist on the table and muttered, "I actually let this kid get in the way!"

The secretary was bewildered.

...

When the secretary went out, Tong Qinghuan took out his calculator and counted, and then, he stared at the final number on the calculator, almost crying without tears - this Nima, even if only a 1% rebate, is better than A lot more than 500,000!

Dog Day's Huang Dazhong!

...

On Monday, May 27th, the latest sales list of Dongguan Bookstore was released on time.

"Grateful Heart" sold 11,500 copies in a single week, and UU Reading www.uukanshu.com ranked fourth. After the major record companies got this sales chart, some were surprised, and some were smiling.

But almost everyone understands in their hearts that even though they have changed a company and a different publishing company, Liao Liao's new album probably shouldn't have only such achievements, especially, this is still in Dongguan Bookstore.

But unfortunately, this time Liao Liao was not able to land at the top of the list in the first week!

However, when the 29th of May came, and on Wednesday, the Voice of China released the on-demand list of the previous week's golden songs on time, everyone quickly understood that this could only be regarded as an accident at best.

And Liao Liao is still that Liao Liao.

I really want a monthly pass, a monthly pass, a monthly pass...

But I can't break out for the time being, I can only watch myself slide down a little on the monthly pass list, and I'm extremely depressed! (To be continued.)
