Chapter 192
"A lot? Do you think it will be hard to sell the record I personally produced?"
Wang Lei raised his eyebrows, and the person on the other end of the phone almost suffocated.
"How could it be? Big boss, your record will definitely sell 500,000 copies, no, it will definitely sell 1 million copies."
"That's about right, then you keep working on it."
Listening to the busy tone on the phone, the president of Sanshi Records wiped his sweat.
Although Mr. Wang is not very old, he has brought him great pressure.
He immediately called all the executives to a meeting.
When they heard the one million task, his subordinates all wailed.
Many people are still blaming the two gold medal composers and producers:
"Now you are happy, among the male singers with sales of one million, I'm afraid only Wang Jie and Zhou Huajian, who is on the rise, can do it."
Wang Jie was the "No. 1 in the Mandarin music scene" before the God of Songs Zhang. His first single album in 1987 sold 18 million copies in Asia!
He has been very productive this year, releasing a Mandarin album and a Cantonese album in January and May respectively, and the sales of both albums have exceeded the million mark.
And everyone has heard that Wang Jie plans to release a new Mandarin album this month, and it is already in the preheating stage.
If the boss's album is released now, it will undoubtedly collide with Wang Jie directly!
In the late 1980s and early 1990s, Wang Jie was the existence that beat the four kings.
The two teachers did not speak, and they were a little unsure in their hearts. When they were in PolyGram, they had composed songs for millions of sales.
But Wang Lei is not a professional singer after all. If he competes with the king Wang Jie on the same stage, he will definitely lose miserably.
The president did not mean to continue to blame the two teachers. He felt that this was a test from the big boss. As long as he exceeded the task, his position would become more and more stable.
"Let's not talk nonsense. It is precisely because the goal is difficult to achieve that we have to go all out.
This is a rare opportunity to flatter the big boss. Our performance this year depends on his decision, so I don't need to say more.
Three cobblers are better than one Zhuge Liang. If you have ideas, you can speak freely."
Someone suggested:
"We need to find beautiful women and handsome men to shoot two MVs for the main song. The plot and emotions must be in line with the theme."
"This is a good suggestion. Just ask the recently popular Gigi Lai to be the female lead of the MV. As for the male lead, no one can be more popular than Leon Lai, so let's take him!"
It's not that the president of Sanshi Records is arrogant. He is holding a sword of imperial power now. Not to mention Leon Lai and Gigi Lai, even the biggest stars have to give the big boss some face.
"We must also keep up with our promotional ads. We must discuss with TVB and conduct extensive advertising to further expand the influence of First Deep Love."
What does it mean to promote? Television stations, radio stations, newspapers and periodicals, all-round promotion can make a superstar even if he is not a superstar.
This kind of thing has been done before, and now the target is the big boss, and there is no psychological burden of funds in the heart.
People continue to put forward their own suggestions, which are unanimously approved.
It can be said that the entire record company has done everything it can to make First Deep Love a big hit.
The president was very satisfied with everyone's active efforts, and he announced:
"Okay, let's do it according to what we discussed today. If there are no objections, we can adjourn today."
Unconsciously, the sky outside has darkened.
"Wait, President, I have an idea that I have to say."
The composer who had been silent raised his hand.
"Teacher, just say what you think. When it comes to understanding this album, no one can surpass you."
Everyone looked at him, but the composer became quiet.
He seemed to be hesitant to speak, and seeing that everyone seemed to be losing patience, he had to say to the guy next to him:
"Take it out for everyone to enjoy together."
Soon, Wang Lei's version of "Descendants of the Dragon" sounded in the conference room.
Originally, everyone was a little confused as to why this song was played here.
All those present were industry insiders, so they naturally heard some details.
The breath and some "techniques" of this song are similar to the two songs of the boss.
If you don't compare them together, you really can't hear them.
The president said in astonishment:
"You two, where did this song come from? It can't be adapted by the boss too."
Everyone couldn't help but cast questioning eyes at the two.
"You heard it right. This song is indeed the one that the boss sang at the Spring Festival Gala in the mainland. What you don't know is that this song was very popular in the mainland back then. It was so popular that it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a household name.
As far as I know, the reason why Hongcheng didn't know about this song is that the Wang Group deliberately blocked this news.. "
The president immediately realized the point:
"You mean, the boss has a very high popularity base in the mainland?"
"Yes, and Sanshi Technology Group is already the leading high-tech company in the mainland. We don't even need to do more publicity. The public in the mainland will guess that these two songs are from the boss sooner or later!"
Everyone present realized that this was a big bug!
The big boss just said that he should not reveal that he was the original singer of the two songs during the publicity, but he did not say that the audience should not be allowed to guess who the original singer was.
As long as they don't admit it publicly, the public can guess whatever they want.
Some people are still a little hesitant:
"But...piracy is rampant in the mainland, we are afraid that we will wait in vain."
"This may require the trouble of Sanshi Technology's legal department, they are not vegetarians.
Besides, there must be people who buy pirated copies and there must be people who buy genuine copies. We have to believe that the big boss has such personality charm. ”
The president decided with a wave of his hand:
"After the MV is shot, press 100,000 copies and send them to the mainland."
At his command, all departments began to operate at full capacity.
The record company, which held the imperial sword, received full cooperation from TVB.
After receiving the notice from above, Leon Lai and Gigi Lai were puzzled. What kind of superstar's album needs big names like them to shoot MVs?
MVs are generally given to newly debuted artists to show their faces. Asking them to shoot is a waste of talent.
But the company's orders cannot be violated. They can only take out three days of time in their busy schedule to shoot MVs.
Only when she arrived at the scene did Gigi Lai know that she needed to shoot the MV for the album "First Deep Love".
"Oh my God, I like these two songs very much. It is my honor to be the heroine of the MVs of the two songs. ”
It was appropriate for the record company to choose Leon Lai as the male lead. Leon Lai came from a good family and was suitable for playing a sentimental man.
Seeing that the popularity of the song on the song request station remained high, he even thought about singing two covers of the song.
