164 [Preliminary Cooperation]

"fifty thousand?"

Li Qiang frowned. Although the money was not small, he had thought about 500,000 yuan before, and the difference was ten times, so he was inevitably a little worried about gains and losses.

And to be honest, 50,000 yuan is indeed a little too little. New Era Film not only has to be responsible for production, but also for distribution channels. Although there is no ranking listing now, it also has to cooperate with magazines and newspapers, and the fees it should be paid.

"Because it was the first time to cooperate, I didn't invest much money. I hope Mr. Li will forgive me."

"But……"

Li Qiang hesitated and said: "Fifty thousand yuan is indeed a little too little. And as Mr. Li just said, at least 100,000 albums must be produced, and the costs are more than 50,000 yuan. We have to be responsible for distribution and promotion."

Seeing him hesitating, Li Yange thought for a while and simply said: "Manager Li, our company is very confident in this album, but after all, it is its first time to come into contact with the mainland market, so the investment is limited. As for the number of albums you mentioned, it is not unrelated."

"Um……"

Li Qiang pondered for a moment and said, "Mr. Li, I have to consider this matter. Although I am the general manager, the company is not my own."

"This is natural." Li Yange was not surprised that Li Qiang would consider it. He took out a note from his briefcase and handed it over and said, "Manager Li, this is the phone number we temporarily live in the White Swan Hotel. If you think about it, call me anytime. We will be here in Guangzhou in the past three days."

"Okay, Mr. Li, I will notify you as soon as possible after the meeting." Li Qiang took the paper and looked at it, and put it away with care.

"Then I won't disturb Manager Li much."

"Mr. Li, I'll give you a gift."

Seeing that Li Yange was leaving, Li Qiang got up and saw him off.

"No need to send it to Manager Li."

Li Yange shirked for a few times, and finally sent him outside the company with Li Qiang.

Before leaving, Li Yange turned around and added: "Manager Li, our company has decided on more than Xinshi Film and Television. The first one came to Xinshi Film. That's because your company had cooperated with Huaxing before, which is different from some other record companies."

"I understand, I will think about it carefully." Li Qiang nodded. He actually wanted to try to cooperate in his heart. After all, those who have tasted the sweetness naturally know the benefits of cooperation with Hong Kong record companies.

But the other party only invested 50,000 yuan, and it was promoting albums of domestic singers, which made Li Qiang hesitate. Their New Era Film Company has always been making Hong Kong singers and rarely collaborated with domestic singers. The most important reason is that there are too few singers selling well in domestic albums.

...

After leaving the New Era Film Company, Li Yange did not rush back to the hotel, but wandered around and found a small record store. When he walked in, he saw that there were many various albums, but looking around, most of them were mainly singer albums from Hong Kong and Taiwan.

There are not only those in China, but the number is relatively small, and the only ones in the most conspicuous position are Zhang Qiang, Li Lingyu, and Tian Zhen.

After wandering around the record for more than ten minutes, many people came in one after another. Li Yange found that in addition to the customers who bought the album, there were also many who were aimlessly selected after entering.

At this time, the record store owner played a role. He would go over and ask the customer what type of album he wanted to buy, and then he would choose for the other party.

After watching it for a while, Li Yange had an idea in his heart, and then turned around and walked out of the record store.

...

Li Yange is actually very confident about the album Baojiajie Band. After all, I don’t know if the album 87 Fanaticism is because of the butterfly effect, but he still has no shadow. He believes that the classic dance music "The Little Girl Under the Street Light" is enough to make this album a hit.

You should know that almost most of Zhang Qiang's songs are in dance style, which is one of the reasons why they can sell tens of millions of copies in just two years.

Because of a special period, the word "repression" can be used to describe Chinese people, which also led to the nerves and tense strings after the reform and opening up, which were accidentally released. While liberating the mind, the acceptance of trendy things is not as good as that of the Internet era decades later.

Break dance, rock, dance music, disco...

These trends in the 190s were almost all related to music, which also caused the domestic record market to be prosperous during this period.

Countless classic golden songs and singers have been born one after another. Even if pirated tapes are rampant, it cannot isolate this prosperous era. What really caused the mainland record market to collapse will have to wait until two thousand years later, the rise of the Internet and free music downloads will completely kill the record industry.

Even in the era of ringtones, the music market has once again burst out with new potential, and it still cannot save the record market, because no one will buy tapes and listen to them, either using a walkman or a smartphone...

Saying too much off topic.

Get back to the point.

In Li Yange's opinion, as long as a song that is sufficiently "brainwashed" and a little dynamic music, the album sales will not be very poor in today's era when the entertainment industry is not yet developed.

To give a simple example, who was the most popular singer before 2010? Some people say it was Jay Chou, and some people say it was **, but according to data published online in later generations, Daolang, the singer with the highest sales volume in China before 2010 was Daolang.

"The First Snow in 2002", "Impulse Punishment", "Wolf in Sheep's Clothing", these three songs were almost the most popular songs in those years, no, there were all over the streets and alleys; "The First Snow in 2002 came later than before..."

Almost achieved the popularity of the elderly and children being able to hum a sentence or two, which also made Yehenara, the music circle, envious and jealous. As for the subsequent interviews, the incidents were widely circulated. (If you know, you will search the Internet if you don’t know)

Daolang's songs are not completely "brainwashing songs", but they also have that charm, and "The Little Girl Under the Street Light" also has this charm.

In his previous life, this "87 Fanatic" was able to sell millions of copies and ranked among the top three in the national audio-visual product sales rankings for three consecutive years.

This song "The Little Girl Under the Street Light" can be described as a must-have.

But in this way, if Xue Ke and Dong Dawei and the others were successfully released, would it still be considered a rock album?

Li Yange touched his chin, thought for only a few seconds, and then stopped worrying about this matter.

No matter what song it is, as long as it can sell well, it is a good album!

...

In the next two days, Li Yange also went to several record companies.

Most people warmly welcomed it after hearing that it was a Hong Kong record company, but when they heard about the specific cooperation plan, they began to hesitate.

Li Yange had long anticipated this. He thought that if it didn't work, he could only spend money to find someone to record a batch of tapes and put them on the market first to see how the results were.

At this moment, Li Qiang, general manager of New Times Film Company, called and agreed to Li Yange's previous cooperation plan, but the number of tapes dropped to 50,000, and they were only promoted and distributed in Guangzhou for the time being.
