"Hello Guofeng!"

"Good morning Guofeng!"

"Good morning, King!"

In fact, it was already past ten o'clock in the morning, but when Zheng Guofeng walked into Xinda Records, a large group of people took the initiative to raise their heads to say hello, all asking good morning.

Although a single "Winter Rose" has sold 8 million copies so far, the second album "Temperature" has been released for half a year and has shipped more than 5 million copies so far, making him steadily enter the ranks of first-line singers.

In addition, he personally arranged most of the composition and a small part of the lyrics for his two albums. He can be regarded as a representative of the new generation of singer-songwriters. His status in the industry is slightly higher than that of singers with the same sales volume. Even after "Temperature" was a big hit, he praised him as the "Little King" of the new era, but he didn't have any arrogant attitude. Even when he greeted the ordinary staff in the company, he responded with a smile. At times, he also pays out of his own pocket to invite everyone to dinner, so it has an excellent relationship with the top and bottom of the company.

After passing by, greeting everyone all the way, the door of the general manager's office suddenly opened, and Guo Xiaomei, secretary of Cinda general manager Zhou Zhao, stuck his head out, "Guofeng, Mr. Zhou asked you to come here!"

Zheng Guofeng agreed, walked over, and walked into Zhou Zhao's office, while not forgetting to give Guo Xiaomei a handsome smile, "Good morning, Miss Mei!"

Pushing the door and entering, Zhou Zhao had already stood up with a smile, holding a CD in his hand, "I knew you had to come at this point, oh, the album you want is on the market!"

Zheng Guofeng walked over and said, "Mr. Zhou, good morning!" As he took it, his eyes widened, "Wow, Sister Zhou's new album is out?"

Zhou Zhao almost laughed angrily, "Is it crazy to write songs? It's the 27th today!"

Zheng Guofeng shrugged, "It's a lot of love, and you want a lot of songs, so of course you have to write as hard as you can!"

Zhou Zhao smiled, seeing Zheng Guofeng bowing his head to admire the CD cover in his hand, with a look of admiration, smiled, and put his arms around his shoulder, "Come, sit, sit down, I'll ask you something."

The two sat down, Zheng Guofeng looked up at him, "What's the matter?"

Zhou Zhao thought about the words, and then said carefully: "I heard that you have a good relationship with Sima Duoduo recently? It seems that you promised to write a song for her?"

Zheng Guofeng looked at him, "Hey, it's okay, Mr. Zhou, the company doesn't care about my personal affairs!"

Zhou Zhao quickly raised his hands, "I don't care, of course I don't care, I'm just asking!"

Before "Winter's Rose" was released, Zheng Guofeng met Zhou Zhao, and he didn't even dare to show the atmosphere. He is a young singer, and he is a newcomer. It would be great to give you a chance to release an album. How dare you mention it? This request for that? But two consecutive albums have sold well. Among the current domestic male singers, Zheng Guofeng is already only a singer under Zhao Xinfu, Hu Yang, and Huang Yuqing.

Even, even if he only talks about sales, he is half a chip higher than Zhang Chang, Zhao Yuan, Gerileng and others who are also in the front line. In addition, he is a singer-songwriter. In the hearts of many people, he is the " "Little Heavenly King" has been qualified to kick Liu Mingliang, who has not released an album for nearly two years, to be promoted to the top four male singers in the singing circle. The so-called "Four Heavenly Kings" are also.

So in this case, even as the CEO of Xinda Records, Zhou Zhao treated his own pillar with respect, and he let go of all constraints to the greatest extent.

You must know that under the Cinda banner, Zheng Guofeng's two albums have sold nearly 14 million copies, and the sales of MV have exceeded 2 million copies. After more than a month, the shipment has only reached 3 million copies! The actual sales in the market are estimated to be in the early 200s of copies - there is already quite a gap compared to the popular niche student Zheng Guofeng!

Besides Zheng Guofeng and Feixiang Band, Xinda Records, as one of the three old record companies, has no one of its singers who can sell 3 million copies!

From this, we can see how important Zheng Guofeng is to Xinda Records!

Not to mention that Zheng Guofeng is also a good songwriter. With his creations, Zhou Zhao can exchange a lot of useful favors with other record companies-basically speaking, in addition to Minghu Culture, the industry is as good as Li Qian. In addition to a perverted new song machine, even Sony Records wants to get Zheng Guofeng's creation.

Hearing Zhou Zhao once again admit that he doesn't care about his personal affairs, Zheng Guofeng said: "Actually, there is no deep friendship, it's just that Sister Zhen Zhen held a small party in March, and I met there, and then met twice before. A few days ago, we had an appointment to have dinner together, and she asked me to sing, and I agreed."

Zhou Zhao heard the words "Oh", smiled, and asked tentatively, "Did you talk about it when you were chatting, for example... How does Sima Duoduo feel about Sony?"

Zheng Guofeng understood in seconds, but said at the time: "Hey, hey... President Zhou, I have no problem with who you want to dig, but don't pull me in, I don't participate in this kind of thing!"

He said, before Zhou Zhao could speak, he said again: "But, we talked about her own problems. She signed with Sony for three years and two albums, which should expire this winter. , The plan was to release the second album this spring. As a result, she also wrote songs herself and asked someone to make an appointment, but she has never been able to collect enough albums, so she delayed it again and again. It is estimated that it will be automatically postponed. The album won't be released until winter or next spring, and it's not due until the album is released."

Zhou Zhao nodded when he heard the words.

Back then, Sony’s digging was so hard. Except for Minghu Culture, the singer resources of major record companies lost a lot of money. Huage was still generous, and backhanded Hu Yang. On Xinda’s side, thanks to the sudden rise of Zheng Guofeng, it was able to hold the foundation, and the Feixiang Band, which had given Zhou Zhao high hopes, was beaten by Li Qian’s “Once Upon a Time”. The album has been delayed again and again, and it was finally released last winter, but it is difficult to have the momentum that was glaring the world back then.

Therefore, it is something Zhou Zhao has been preparing and planning to backhand and dig Sony two people at the right time.

As a member of the former Wuxingwusu, Sima Duoduo went solo after signing with Sony. Although the sales of her last album were not outstanding, it is estimated that it is about 3 million copies, but as a type singer, her faint Wen Qing Temperament, although it is difficult to become popular, the audience in the market is relatively stable. If Zheng Guofeng writes songs for her, it is not impossible to expect five million copies.

Simply put, it's definitely worth digging!

However, now it seems that the time is not too ripe.

Thinking of this, Zhou Zhao smiled, patted Zheng Guofeng's shoulder, and said with a smile: "I understand! Guofeng, thank you! Okay, you can go and listen to the album, Zhou Hao's new album, the whole country is looking forward to it, hehe! By the way, you can go to the audition room to listen, no one will rob you of that loud speaker!"

"Really? Thanks!"

While speaking, Zheng Guofeng got up and was about to leave, but Zhou Zhao suddenly stopped him, "By the way, remember to come back and tell me your evaluation after listening, remember, it's very important!"

Zheng Guofeng smiled and said, "You don't have to listen, I can give you an evaluation right now! It's very good, super good, incomparably good, and it will definitely set off a wave of 'Zhou 嫫 fever'! This album can make Zhou 嫫 go back to Take it to a higher level and be directly tied with Liao Liao!"

Zhou Zhao was a little stunned, and couldn't help laughing, "It's true or not, you? You didn't listen, so sure?"

Zheng Guofeng laughed, "Because she is Zhou Ai! Others rely on good songs to become popular, but Zhou Ai is not, she will become popular whichever song she sings!"

"Others are popular, but she can be popular! Because, she only relies on her own voice, no matter what song she sings, it's good!"

Having said that, he shook the album in his hand again and said with a smile: "What's more, the sect master's complete package! It's called a sect if it doesn't sound good! It's called an sect if it doesn't sell well!"

Although he had heard Zheng Guofeng praise Li Qian more than once before, Zhou Zhao couldn't help but ask with a smile: "Li Qian's creation is so good? Make you so convinced?"

Zheng Guofeng shrugged, but he really frowned and thought for a while before answering, "I can only write, and can only write well, one or two types of songs, but the leader is omnipotent! All genres, all genres. The orientation, the whole style, the whole language... Another day he made a Spanish-language album for Liao Liao, and it was a big sale, I don't think it's strange at all! So, of course I admire him!"

After a pause, he smiled, "If the leader called me personally and said, 'Guofeng, come to Minghu, let's write songs and play music together!' Just run.

"Hey you……"

…………

The sound of drums is sonorous, and the electric guitar is very ecstasy.

At the end of the song, Xiao Aiguo had some smiles on his face, "Not bad, everyone is in good shape today! Zhou Er, the drums are very exciting!" Turning his head, he saw someone who was already sitting on the sofa at some point in time. The agent Zheng Mo, he also smiled rarely, "Why, Lao Zhou urged again?"

Zheng Mo smiled, "How can you do it! President Zhou said, "Traffic Light" sold well, and you guys are long-term, new album, don't worry!"

Guitarist Ma Aishu smiled and said, "Stop talking nonsense, who asked you this, is Lao Zhou urging him to pick up the work again? Did you make it clear to him?"

Zheng Mo still laughed, "I've made it clear, I'm sure I made it clear, but what President Zhou said also makes sense. Think about it, the appearance fee for you is one million per show, and it's just about two songs. Son, go there and shout, one million is here, gentlemen! He Runqing, Xinfu Zhao, they are the same price!"

Xiao Aiguo laughed, put down the guitar in his hand, and greeted everyone to come over, "Da Qing Lao Zhou has stopped urging him, you can't see money, right?"

Everyone laughed.

However, Xiao Aiguo and Ma Aishu were joking indifferently. The faces of bassist Geng Le and keyboard Wang Mingyun, as well as drummer Zhou Haihang, who joined the band last summer, all seemed quite heartwarming.

After all, no matter how big the Feixiang Band is, the higher the points earned in the sales share, the album sells one million copies, which means an income of two million yuan, and if it sells three million copies, it will only be six or seven million. If you want to draw some points, the agent will score a little bit, and when it falls into the hands of the five of them, it will only be around 1 million yuan per person. Xiao Aiguo is the main creator, and he also has a share of the lyrics and music creation, but it is not a lot of money! You know, it will take more than a year to make this album!

Earn a million a year, is that less? Compared with ordinary people, it is really a lot!

But make a million a year, how?

To put it in the music world and in the entertainment industry, it is really not high! Especially in terms of the reputation of Feixiang Band for many years and their status in the arena, they earn so little in a year, and they are catching up with the beggars!

Others don't know, even those young girls are not very capable, they are just a little more beautiful, cute, can dance, wink, company training and training, maybe they can't speak Chinese well. Well, dare to release an album, it's still popular! People are rushing to make millions of dollars a year!

As for those singers whose reputation is similar to that of Feixiang Band, or even a little less than that in those days, like He Runqing and Xinfu Zhao, they released albums, appeared on programs, ran commercial performances, started singing, and received endorsements. All kinds of ways to make money went , that is all rushing to earn 20 to 30 million in less than a year!

However, Feixiang Band does not accept any advertisements and endorsements, and does not participate in any variety shows and commercial performances. Now it is a comeback after many years of withdrawal from the music scene, but the album sales are still the same as before the withdrawal. These days, I feel bitter. a bit.

Seeing those idiots around me shoveling money, unconsciously, some people can't sit still and start to get anxious - a business show will cost him 1 million, two or three songs, back and forth. Air tickets and five-star hotels are included. Even though the company wants to take part of it, the brokers also take some away, and there is a small amount of 200,000 left for one person! It doesn't take more than a month to run four or five commercial performances and catch up with a year's income!

Who wouldn't be moved by this?

It is said that He Runqing is in the south for a variety show. He has to record several days a week. The time is already very tight, but people still don't want to be idle. They take time to fly all over the country and run commercial performances! Others take this price alone, and even a little higher, that one flight is more than one million, who is not jealous?

Especially like Geng Le, he still owes a lot of foreign debts!

Everyone sat down, but the atmosphere was somewhat dull.

Xiao Aiguo is the soul and leader of the band. He also more or less understands the thoughts of the band members. In fact, at this time, he really wanted to say, "I don't object to you going to take business performances, but I do. Don't go!" But he also knew that the band, the lead singer of his own, wouldn't go, why would they want some of their bass and drummers to go?

But the problem is, it's not that he doesn't want to make money, but he just doesn't like those variety shows that put on a show, and the practice of making money with those words and songs wherever he goes.

In his own words, he wanted to earn money standing up, but once he started to take over the business and put on shows or something, he would have to let other program crews and performers play with it. Money!

Therefore, he was extremely conflicted.

At this time, Zheng Mo's eyes rolled around the faces of several people in the band, as if he felt that something was going on, so he couldn't help but add fire, "I know, Feixiang Band is a master-level band in domestic rock music, let's play It's Fan Er, once you go out to pick up business performances, show or something, you may feel a little lost in value!"

"But we can't compare with Li Qian. He may not be able to act on the show without taking business, but he owns the company, and he runs the show himself! How does this compare? I heard that the Volkswagen in Germany gave him a drive. After spending 20 million yuan in endorsement fees for a year, he pushed him to be the image spokesperson for the public! Think about it, what kind of confidence do people have? But for us, it is 1 million for one run. Can you take it a few times less? If you take ten orders a year, that’s 10 million!”

After a pause, he said again: "Besides, what is commercial performance? Isn't it just face-to-face interaction with fans? What does rock music focus on? In the West, Europe and the United States, rock and roll has the habit of roadshows! It's not just about interacting with fans. On-site interaction? Isn’t that the style of the scene?”

Hearing this, even Ma Aishu, who had always supported Xiao Aiguo the most, was a little moved. He couldn't help turning his head to look at Xiao Aiguo, and said, "What Lao Zheng said...is there some truth to it?"

Ma Aishu was moved, and Geng Le, Wang Mingyun, and Zhou Haihang had always expressed their hearts. Now, Xiao Aiguo felt that he was completely isolated. The small bag brought by Zheng Mo, he reached out to take it, opened it, and saw the box of CDs that had not been broken, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

"Beautiful!" he said.

Zheng Mo turned his head and glanced at his hand, pursed his lips, and said: "It is said that Li Qian personally shot the camera and filmed it! Great talent, he is a leader in songwriting and singing, and he is a great filmmaker in TV dramas. Recently, it is said that he will make a movie again. He's studying photography, it's a trivial matter to take a cover photo! Besides, if you look at your own woman all day, of course you know what she looks the most beautiful!"

Xiao Aiguo smiled, he still remembers the little girl when he first debuted.

There is a stubbornness in the youth.

Of course, at that time, the Flying Band was in full swing, and Zhou Ai only released one theatrical album. It is said that it was basically not very popular!

Shaking the CD in his hand, he said, "Old Zheng, thank you!"

Zheng Mo smiled and said: "Hey, you said something that day, I have been paying attention to it. Today is the first day of the market. It is said that many places are out of stock. I am giving this in advance. You ordered it!"

Xiao Aiguo nodded, suddenly stood up, and said, "Let's go, stop practicing, go home and listen to the music!"

Everyone was stunned.

After Xiao Aiguo got up and wanted to leave, he said, "I'll consider what Lao Zheng said." After speaking, he got up and walked around a few people next to him. He walked out of the studio of Feixiang Band without taking anything with him.
