"Hey, hey, Mr. He..."

…………

Since the afternoon, the urging calls received by the distribution department have not stopped. Distribution companies in many places were not at ease after getting the promise of the staff, and they called Xu Bing, the manager of the distribution department, until seven o'clock in the evening, when they got off work, and the number of calls gradually decreased.

Fortunately, Minghu Culture has preliminarily booked the carriage with the railway department in advance. Although it is a few days in advance, it is not impossible to do it with a little coordination.

The only trouble is that many of the staff who followed the car to **** the goods in the last batch have to stay in the local area for two to three days to check the sales situation on the spot, and then they will rush back to the company to **** the second batch of goods. Therefore, the company is now seriously understaffed.

On the one hand, some young male employees were urgently dispatched from various departments of the company to temporarily top it, and on the other hand, Xu Bing himself led the team to the freight station to supervise the delivery.

Qi Jie is not here, Li Qian doesn't care, he is the first responsible person in this area, and naturally he doesn't dare to make mistakes.

But fortunately, on the phone, Qi Jie personally assigned Zou Wenhuai to ask about this matter, which was considered to help Xu Bing to share a little pressure.

Moreover, although Zou Wenhuai is still only an artist director, everyone in the company can see that if it is not unexpected, he and Xie Mingyuan will become the company's deputy general managers. Therefore, it was originally only a half-level senior and did not belong to each other, but in fact, high-level executives like Xu Bing have subconsciously regarded him as a vice president - Xie Mingyuan became a vice president, and he must be focusing on technology. The master is the master, and Zou Wenhuai must be his serious boss, who must be focusing on artists, performances, publicity and distribution.

After receiving another call to urge the goods, Xu Bing picked up the list in his hand and read it again. Seeing that the carriage here was almost finished, he felt relieved and turned his head to see Zou Wenhuai coming.

At the end of June, the weather in Shuntian Prefecture was already relatively hot. At seven or eight o'clock in the evening, the heat had not yet dissipated, and Zou Wenhuai was fat. Xu Bing was busy allocating vehicles for shipment together. After arriving at the freight station, he stared at the loading again. After this breath, his whole body was almost washed with water.

He came over, panting heavily, but his spirits were uplifted. After watching for a while, he turned his head to Xu Bing and said, "Go back first, I'll keep an eye on the middle of the night, remember to come and change shifts at two o'clock."

Xu Bing hurriedly declined, saying that he would just stare at it, and asked Zou Wenhuai to go back to rest. Zou Wenhuai waved his hand impatiently, "Stop doing this, everyone is in the same pit, and no one has any air to put on it. I was in the middle of the night. In the second half of the night, I will spare you a little bit, hurry up, don't sleep much!"

Zou Wenhuai said this, which made Xu Bing difficult to refuse, but the leader stared here and went back to sleep on his own, which was somewhat inappropriate. Besides, when it comes to delivery, loading, and coordination with the railway, it is still his With more experience, Zou Wenhuai must be far behind.

So he didn't chase Zou Wenhuai, but he didn't leave either. He just smiled and shook the shipping list in his hand, and said with emotion, "Looking at this situation, we will be able to sell it with a guarantee in the first week!"

The so-called bottom guarantee refers to the first batch of goods that are spread out.

Specifically, Zhou Cong's "Red Bean" is 4.3 million copies.

Generally speaking, the first few weeks of an album's release are of course the hottest time to sell. Even for most singers, the sales in the first month of the release can often account for about half of the final sales of the entire album. ! The albums produced by Minghu Culture have always been characterized by continuous sales and continuous popularity, but even so, the sales in the first month of listing can account for more than 30% of the final sales.

The distribution department's sales guarantee for "Red Bean" is expected to be 8 million copies, and strive to reach 12 million copies. The first batch of stocking is 10 million copies, and the first batch of shipments is more than 4 million copies. As expected , the batch of goods that is currently being sent out was originally to be sent out after three or four days. The two batches of goods together, a total of less than 8 million pieces - with this amount, the first two months should be about the same. .

The first batch of 4.3 million pieces shipped should be the expected first month sales.

But now, just two days after the release, Xu Bing, as a senior "album selling expert", immediately adjusted his expectations for the album's market sales.

However, Zou Wenhuai didn't feel surprised in the slightest—to be surprised, he was already surprised by the endless ringing of the phone this afternoon and the influx of replenishment orders.

One million copies in the first four weeks... not impossible!

"The local distributors and publishers are all very good at it, and the abacus is shaking. If they don't feel that they can sell it, they will not be so anxious to rush the goods. It seems that the following sales are really good. !" he said.

Xu Bing and Zou Wenhuai are now one of the minority shareholders of Minghu Culture. Zhou Ai's albums are selling well, and the company's expected profits are higher. Naturally, they can get more dividends at the end of the year, which is of course full of joy.

As he spoke, he smiled and said, "There's still not much publicity about this. If our boss lady goes out for a walk, radio, TV, etc., all run around, and the sales will go up!"

Zou Wenhuai looked at him, "What good things are you thinking about! Those two, cut it! Qian'er protects her like an old hen protects her own eggs. Can he agree to let people out for publicity?"

Xu Bing laughed when he heard the words.

Zou Wenhuai dared to say this, even Zou Wenhuai dared to say this, and only Zou Wenhuai dared to complain like this.

After a pause, there was a smile on his face, and he was quite fascinated: "If this can sell 4 million copies in the first week, my God! Hey... President Zou, you said, Dongguan Bookstore's Records, won't we let our Minghu Culture break again?"

It is widely recognized in the industry that Minghu Culture is a record-breaking record-breaker. From He Runqing to Liao Liao, they all regard those sales records that the entire music world is looking up to as nothing, and they will be broken if they are broken. At present, Dongguan Bookstore's weekly sales ranking is maintained by "Once You" by the four beauties.

With the great success of the ten-minute Spring Festival Gala that year, the album became popular all over the country as soon as it was released. But even for "Once You", the stocking amount given by the distribution department before the listing at that time was only 8 million pieces, and the first batch of shipments was close to 4 million pieces, but the call to urge the goods at that time was not enough. So urgent!

Hearing this, Zou Wenhuai thought for a while, then shook his head, "It's really hard to say, there are more than 140,000 copies, that record is too fierce, it's very difficult! You are a professional doing this, how can you not know? The better the album sells, Dongguan Bookstore has a smaller share of the overall sales! Besides, how much did Dongguan Bookstore sell for the first time?"

Xu Bing heard the words without hesitation, and opened his mouth to report the data, "Dongguan Bookstore is a vertical system, so we only contact their head office directly. The first batch of goods is 180,000 copies... If you don't say it, I forgot , let me see... that's right, sure enough, Dongguan Bookstore didn't ask for replenishment!"

Zou Wenhuai shrugged, "So..."

Xu Bing thought about it and couldn't help but sighed.

It's a pity that the scale of Dongguan Bookstore itself limits the possibility of Minghu Culture's further record breaking!

In recent years, especially in the past few years, the domestic movie box office has been rising, and the record market has also been soaring. It is said that the book industry is also doing well, so many people think it is profitable. As more and more stores are built, bookstores and audio-visual stores with small investment are blooming everywhere.

In contrast, although Dongguan Bookstore has been constantly opening new stores, their development speed is far less than the driving energy of so much private capital. After a few years, the market significance of Dongguan Bookstore's sales has become smaller and smaller.

In 1994 and 1995, including until 1996, the sales volume of Dongguan Bookstore was multiplied by 20 times, which was still a formula used by most record companies to estimate the actual sales volume. Bian's evaluation data, Dongguan Bookstore's sales can account for about 4% of the country's total sales in the same time period, which is not bad. That is to say, generally their data needs to be multiplied by 25, or even 26. spectrum.

However, it is really difficult to complete real-time statistics on the sales of the popular audio-visual stores and bookstores. The record companies themselves can only rely on their own shipments and the shipments of local distributors to roughly estimate. The statistics from the Recording Industry Association are too slow to be used for annual summaries.

Therefore, in the final analysis, the current domestic record market sales rankings that have reference significance still have to look at Dongguan Bookstore - this is the most direct and intuitive sales performance. The Voice of China, or the on-demand list of other authoritative radio stations, is regarded as a preview of the next sales trend.

All in all, the two lists complement each other.

After a pause, Zou Wenhuai suddenly turned his head and asked Xu Bing, "By the way, have you placed a new order?"

Xu Bing replied: "It has already been placed. In the afternoon, we received calls from various places to urge goods. We found that we must hurry up to place the order. Although the first batch is 10 million, if the sale goes crazy. What? Two factories, one paid 3.5 million and the other 2.5 million. They are old related households, and they are the biggest customers. If they dare not delay things, they all promise me that the first batch will be one. One million, there will be no problem within five days, all orders will be completed within ten days!"

After a pause, he said again: "It's easy to talk about other places, it will be listed in Southeast Asia next week, I have to go and look at it, Mr. Qi said that she will also go around, when the time comes, I can rely on the home side. You got it!"

Zou Wenhuai frowned upon hearing this, but nodded anyway, "Don't worry, there is me!"

Recently, Minghu Culture is in the process of recruiting troops. Liu Mei was instructed to set up a performance department, which needs to recruit many new musicians, performers and backup dancers. Of course, it is one. As He Wei took people to participate in the "Super Girl" program group, Minghu was suddenly brought up. The talent pool of the Ministry of Culture and Music is half empty, but there is another one. In short, although there are already so many people, there is still a shortage of people.

In this area, Xie Mingyuan is there. He is a veteran, and he has been the boss of Sony Records for many years. He has a very rich network in the circle, but he doesn't need Zou Wenhuai to worry about it. Even Liu Mei's side is more senior than Zou Wenhuai. Old, and he doesn't need to worry.

But the problem is, people are recruited, and things like treatment can't be talked about in the same way that the personnel department recruits ordinary employees. This job is for the artist director Zou Wenhuai to watch in person. For some high-end ones, Zou Wenhuai had to come out and talk in person.

In addition, the buyout contract of "Ruoxuan is Coming" last time with Huaxia TV is about to expire. How to negotiate, how long to renew the contract, and what price is required, this is also Zou Wenhuai's, and he must discuss .

Li Qian's first movie is under active preparation. This time, Li Qian is doing everything personally. Han Shunzhang and Huang Wenjuan are not there, and he doesn't need to intervene too much. The selection list or something, but as the artist director of Minghu Culture, seeing that Li Qian has found a group of new actors for the film, how can he sit back and watch these people run away after the film is finished? It must be signed before the film is made. Once the film becomes popular, these are all resources!

It's okay for others to say, like Zhou Zhiyu from the drama club, who said hello here, they signed the contract happily, and the posture, without even taking a look at the content of the contract, was so happy that Zou Wenhuai, who had no skills, could not wait. Hug him and kiss him. But that Lu Lingxi and He Yingyu have a headache!

Lu Lingxi was hesitant, looking at the contract was like looking at the contract of prostitution, He Yingyu was even more extreme, that girl didn't want to sign it at all! Saying that I have just entered the freshman year, and I still have to study, I am afraid of the company's business!

Please, when the movie comes out, if you are not popular, what will happen! If you are popular, and you don't sign a brokerage contract, you have to take care of everything yourself, so it's more messy if you don't?

In the end, Zou Wenhuai said nothing, but reluctantly brought out her senior brother Zhu Qiang as an example, and only then persuaded the girl to sign it - at the cost of taking her to sweep the warehouse of Minghu Culture, and the past Minghu Culture All the albums produced, let her pack three copies and take away a big cardboard box!

In short, that girl is cunning and cunning!

This is not the end, he currently has a lot of books in his hand, most of them are looking for Bai Yujing, a small half is looking for Zhu Qiang, and there is even a copy sent from the United States to invite Liao Liao to make a cameo scene—— Zhu Qiang is okay to say that the young man is very low-key and down-to-earth, he has a play to play, the script is good, and the treatment is decent. Bai Yujing is particularly difficult to serve, and it's not good either, she's an aunt!

Please, your salary for one episode is 150,000 yuan, auntie, among the domestic TV stars, men and women are bundled together, and you are the only one! Even if you don't want to take on TV dramas, there are still people who pay a movie fee to one million for a movie! What do you still want?

But don't pick it up!

Some time ago, I finally took a fancy to a script and said that if it felt good, I could try it. Zou Wenhuai was so excited that she almost cried! Pidianpidian went to discuss the remuneration with the producer, but as a result, the crew had a small budget and was relatively poor, so they could only give 55,000 yuan per episode. No matter how much Zou Wenhuai extorted and extorted money, he would never be able to squeeze any more oil. !

However, 55,001 episodes, compared with 150,001, this is too much, not even half, one-third! Isn't this self-depreciation? No matter how sincere the other party is and the show is good, this show will be picked up. If it is popular, it’s better to say that it’s called an artist’s style. It’s not for the money, and the reputation is so good when it spreads, and the vision is worthy of praise. But if you hit the street, your worth will not be able to go up in a short period of time!

The lawsuit finally went to Li Qian, but Li Qian still spoiled her. After reading the script, just one sentence: Take it!

Then take it!

Then, there were frequent contacts and contacts such as singers and agents, expressing the hope that when the original contract was over, he would be able to change jobs to Minghu Culture. This is no longer a problem. Helping to find some good, yet up-and-coming songwriters, this is not a trivial matter... Seeing that "Super Girl" is in full swing, he, as an artist director, must consider for this upcoming episode. The audition girls have prepared at least five to eight singer contracts...

In short, there are thousands of threads, non-stop.

He was a little worried that the girl he took care of last year would cuckold him!

Although the appointment has been made for three years, and the money and goods are cleared after the time is over, it has nothing to do with who she likes to let who sleep, but he, mother, now that he still spends money, can't do such a shameful thing !

However, Zhou Ai's album was a big sale, and finally it was a big sale. No matter how busy he was, even if everything was overwhelmed, he couldn't say a word of refusal.

After so many years, I have been struggling with that auntie until now, isn't it for today?

Paralyzed, who dares to say that I have poor eyesight? Who dares to say that Zhou Ai can't come out? Who would dare to say that he had worked so hard to support Zhou Mai for ten years, but only got a silly girl who loved to sing and didn't sing and flashed?

This silly girl is not afraid even if she takes three years and five years off, as long as she is willing to sing, one mouth and one album will be enough to sell those broken albums that you have been busy with for three years and five years!

It didn't sell well in the past, firstly because of the niche, the market has not yet cultivated, and secondly because she has not met the right person! Now that I met it, it will kill you!

Raise your eyebrows!

Although I've been busy for several hours now, I haven't even eaten dinner yet. On the one hand, I'm so hungry that my chest is sticking to my back, and on the other hand, I'm so tired that my legs are softening. The boxer moved the records into the carriage, thinking that in a few hours the records would be set off, all the way through the mountains and rivers, and then dumped into a car box, then maybe a motorcycle, and finally, they were sent to a family Another audio-visual store was snapped up before it could even be put on the shelves...

Zou Wenhuai put his hands on his hips subconsciously, and unconsciously he had a smile on his face. Looking at the meaning, he would laugh out loud at some point.

He is fat and has a big belly. Now he has his hands on his hips, not to mention, he is quite imposing. That is, once matched with the smile on his face, his aura suddenly disappeared.

"President Zou, President Zou..." Xu Bing touched him.

"Ah?" Zou Wenhuai returned to his senses, "It's alright, I'll be watching at home, don't worry!"

Xu Bing curled his lips helplessly when he heard the words: Is this a topic from a few minutes ago?

…………

Xu Bing also didn't know how Zou Wenhuai, who was always known for being lazy, suddenly became so energetic that he had to personally keep an eye on the loading truck in the middle of the night. Tired and hungry, in the end, he took the first step and made an appointment to come and change shifts at two o'clock, leaving Zou Wenhuai and some Minghu Culture staff here to continue to direct the loading and delivery.

But after two o'clock, he arrived before 1:30. This time, Zou Wenhuai was useless. He reluctantly looked back at the boxes of records on the platform before turning his head and leaving.

In the middle of the night, there were few people and cars on the road, and while driving, Zou Wenhuai was a little distracted subconsciously, and unknowingly drove the car to Yangjuan Hutong.

When the car turned into the alley, he could see the Great Wall off-road vehicle in the distance from a distance, and he suddenly woke up and squeaked the brakes~www.wuxiaspot.com~ The whole person was stunned in the car.

After a good few minutes, he released the brakes, let the car start slowly, and slowly drove towards the familiar door.

It was two o'clock in the middle of the night, and the surroundings were all silent.

The dogs of the three families in the depths of the alley heard the movement outside and kept barking.

If in the past, Zou Wenhuai hated those three dogs very much, Li Qian once wanted to get a dog for Zhou Hao, and he was the one who opposed it the most! In the end, let him destroy it!

This is also an old age, not as muddy as when I was a child, and when I was in my teens, how can I let them call for so many years? I stole, killed, and eaten meat for you long ago!

However, at this moment, the dog was barking in the deep lane, and the moon was bright, and Zou Wenhuai was actually barking at this dog for the first time in his heart, without the slightest disgust or greed.

"At this point, I guess those two guys have already fallen asleep. That's it! I'll tell you to do it! Make some of them! Are you feeling uncomfortable now? This guy here is pregnant, so you must be with me! But accompany is accompany, you can't do things when you hug and hug, there are some ready-made, maybe you can't fall asleep thinking about you! But you can't hug...you just rely on it for a while! That's it!"

The car stopped slowly at the door.

He got out of the car, looked up at these two vermilion red doors that he had been in and out of many times over the years, and was so familiar that he could no longer be familiar, even more familiar than his home, and sighed slowly.

Then he laughed slowly, but silently.

But smiling, he raised his hand and wiped his face.

The moonlight was like silver, shining on his face.

There were tears in the corners of his eyes.
