In the first two years of the 1980s, domestic music albums were generally serious and lively.
On the basis of ensuring "healthy content", the style is slightly more relaxed and cheerful. Li Guyi and Hu Songhua are representatives, and the sales of tapes can reach more than 100,000 boxes. What really started to break one million and two million were pop songs the appearance of.
The first pop singer to be able to sell well was probably Cheng Lin, the one who sang "Little conch trumpet, Didi Didi, and the seagulls spread their wings and flew away." She was not yet a minor, and although she sang pop songs, they were not love songs. Love love love. Then there are people like Zhang Lei, Zhang Xing, Li Lingyu, and Zhu Xiaolin, and the sales of tapes began to surge.
Of course, there are also factors such as the increasing popularity of tape recorders.
So at this stage, 100,000 tapes is not too exaggerated, but it is still quite a lot. When Jiao Hongjun gave such an elated talk, everyone also followed suit. Zhang Mingmin was most amazed: "Sold out in one day? In Hong Kong, it would be platinum. Ah!" "What is platinum?" Li Lingyu asked.
"An album sold in Hong Kong is considered a gold record when it sells 25,000 copies, and a platinum record when it sells 50,000 copies. Alan Tam is now the most popular male singer, with a best result of 300,000 copies and 6 platinum records." Hong Kong's IFPI in 1967 It was established in 1977 and started awarding gold and platinum records in 1977. This standard has already been established.
As soon as Zhang Mingmin said this, seeing everyone's strange looks, he explained: "Hong Kong is a small country with few people, and the sales of tens of thousands of copies are already very impressive. Mr. Jiao, what do you mean we don't have to participate in the event tomorrow?" "There is no way, there are no tapes. Now, how can we go there?"
"But we have publicized it in advance, so we don't want to miss the appointment. I think it's better to go and take a look, at least to see the whole capital." Zhang Mingmin said. "I don't think it's good not to go. Even if we can't buy the tape, we will sing a song for everyone. The song can be regarded as a thank you to the masses." Li Lingyu said.
?????
Both of them had spoken. Jiao Hongjun thought for a while and said: "Forget it, let's proceed as usual. You have worked hard today. Come and eat quickly. I have to communicate and order more!" "Old Jiao, please order more." Ah! Don’t make us passive!"
"Got it! I'm ordering 1 million boxes this time, let's see if I can still grab them all!" Sizzle!
Zhang Mingmin and Li Lingyu trembled. They divided the 1 million equally, and each of them had 500,000. The person accompanying him shook his head: "It's not enough. I don't think it's enough. How many days can 1 million last?" But Jiao Hongjun returned to the office, Call Eastern Company.
Before Chen Qi left, he said that he would contact the company about the tape.
"Do you still have stock in stock? How much do you need?"
"There are 200,000 more? Why is 200,000 enough? Forget it, you send it first, and then immediately tell Xiao Chen that Xinhua Bookstore will place an additional order of 1 million, as soon as possible!" "This batch is profitable!"
After making the phone call, Jiao Hongjun patted his belly and felt happy both physically and mentally. He was able to earn hundreds of thousands a day. Selling tapes was more profitable than selling books, and even better than making movies...
Xinhua Bookstore ordered 100,000 boxes.
Naturally, Chen Qi didn't just make 100,000 boxes. He made 300,000 boxes. As a result, he underestimated the market's response. When he received news from the company, as soon as the machines in Hong Kong were turned on, they started printing overtime. On the mainland, 20 Thousands of boxes were supplied quickly, finally creating a splash.
Li Lingyu and Zhang Mingmin ran from the capital to Tianjin, then to Hebei, and around Tangshan. Everywhere they went, the people were like crazy. Not everyone liked it, but the population base was too big, and one ten millionth was enough to make a noise. Damn it.
Naturally, this kind of news cannot be hidden from CCTV and serious audio and video publishing units.
Everyone was so angry that they died.
He came to Xinhua Bookstore one after another to take pictures of tables, and Jiao Hongjun laughed, "We are not in the same system, can you control me?" Then he went to the Ministry of Culture to take pictures of tables.
"Oh, the right to host the Spring Festival Gala belongs to us, and our distribution of tapes is legal and reasonable."
CCTV and the audio and video agency are incompetent and furious. They can't do anything except yelling because the procedures are not in violation of the rules. They are also low-level and cannot reach the Ministry of Culture. In the end, they can only go to the parents. The parents are naturally the Radio and Television.
"Mr. Wu, look at what they did to us."
"They are all serving the people. Those who make movies are superior to others, but those who make TV, radio, and audiovisuals have a lower status? Why?" "In the final analysis, the Spring Festival Gala is the fault. We should not have given up the right to host it in the first place!"
"This year must be hosted by us, we can't let them interfere!" "Mr. Wu! Please say something!"
Wu Lengxi has a headache.
He is in charge of radio and television. In theory, there is no conflict with the cultural system, but in fact it is exactly the opposite.
The Spring Festival Gala, audio and video, are all just side dishes. The biggest potential conflict between the two parties at present is the competition between TV and movies!
In the past, when television was not popular, the problem was not highlighted. As more and more television sets become available, and the country pays more and more attention to television programs, this contradiction has surfaced, that is, competition for viewers.
At first glance, there is no logic. TV and movies compete based on their abilities. What’s the contradiction? But that’s how many people think. Later, when movies declined, some old comrades became very angry: “Why didn’t we introduce policies to restrict TV in the first place? "Okay, okay!"
Wu Lengxi didn't want to pay attention to these trivial matters and said: "It's certainly wrong for them to release tapes, but they can't make any big mistakes. Shouldn't we fight a lawsuit all over the world just for a few tapes? As for the Spring Festival Gala, it is indeed an important event.
If you want to do it, then come up with an eye-catching plan and implement it into specific programs. It’s only April now, so you have a lot of time to prepare. I will talk publicly about the Spring Festival Gala around September. Problem, don’t say I didn’t take care of you.” When it came to this, all parties had no choice but to obey.
But he was still unhappy and muttered: "What about the tape? It's all money!"..."
Wu Lengxi was speechless. He felt that it would be a waste to go to the Ministry of Culture in person for a tape. He only said: "Then you can snatch the right to host the Spring Festival Gala and distribute it however you want. Okay, okay, we are all busy. Go." The complainants had no choice but to disperse.
Wu Lengxi sat in the office, pondering for a long time, and said what he really wanted, he really wanted the Spring Festival Gala. How much influence would it have, but in the end, the competent authorities did not have the right to host it? He was completely embarrassed.
He was at the Spring Festival Gala at that time and saw with his own eyes how Chen Qi and Huang Yihe directed Ruoding. Of course, it was mainly Chen Qi. He also lamented: "Such talents are not from the radio and television system!" "Oh, if film and television can be managed in a unified way,
It would be great, if they are all under the Broadcasting and Television banner, there wouldn’t be so many things to worry about!”
Wu Lengxi suddenly had an idea and was ready to act.
He really wanted to write a report describing this move, but he couldn't. What happened if he, a radio and television leader, asked to swallow up the film system? It was best to leave this matter to a third party. Wu Lengxi couldn't think of the details for a while, but
This idea has stayed in my mind.
"The Ministry of Culture has too much power!"
