Chapter 116 Magic Wand

November 3, 1993, afternoon.

Wednesday.

General Manager Office of Zhenghua Music.

Xu Zhenghua sat on the boss chair with his shoulders folded, staring gloomily at the TV screen not far away.

Yuan Wei was standing behind him with his hands on the back of the chair, while Guan Yulan was sitting on the sofa.

Other Liu Defeng, Da Liu Liuran, and Xu Zhenghua’s personal lawyer Jiang Liangyun were either sitting or standing.

“This is a conspiracy, the most despicable and shameless frame-up! We are hiring more lawyers for Lao Zheng and Lao Qin, and they will definitely prove their innocence!”

On the TV screen, Tang Bin, the bass player of the Tree Chopping Band, is clenching his fists and screaming loudly.

In the background of the screen, I don’t know how many fans of Wuyang Wuyang responded with a bang at this time!

A few days have passed, and the arrests of Zheng Zhiguo and Qin Ye have not disappeared, on the contrary, they are becoming more and more lively – as Xu Zhenghua had predicted before, no one in the recording industry will be stupid enough to take the initiative to stand up and get down, so To be reasonable, if you are arrested, you will be arrested. After everyone talks for a few days, things will naturally fade away until the next big news, such as the investigation has progressed, the police have obtained strong evidence, or Sentencing and the like will become hot news again.

But no, this incident has twists and turns.

The first is that the police do not allow bail.

Generally speaking, according to the relevant laws of Daming, even if the crime is serious, unless it is treason, intercourse, and beetle trafficking, bail is allowed after arrest. After that, the person was released directly without bail.

And the time has just come to release the people. Before Zheng Zhiguo and Hadano walked out of the gate of the police station, the police announced the arrest of the two again—the arrest warrant was issued on the spot.

All of a sudden there was an uproar.

Because the police cannot arrest a suspect twice for the same crime.

Dare to do this, obviously under other names.

It is highly probable that the charges on these two people are not limited to murder, **** and intentional injury, but there are other things.

all of a sudden lifted the appetite of the people of the whole country.

But this time, in the subsequent press conference held by the police, no new charges were announced.

But the dramatic thing is that just this morning, Zheng Zhiguo and Qin Ye’s attorneys have announced that the police have accepted the bail application, which will be granted this evening at the latest.

So the other three members of the tree-cutting band, as well as a large number of fans, as well as OB vans of more than a dozen TV stations, hundreds of reporters from major radio stations, TV stations, newspapers and magazines, plus more than can be counted. The paparazzi gathered at the gate of the police station, waiting for the picture of the two people being released on bail.

Many TV stations directly started live broadcasts, pulling a group of legal experts and entertainment industry experts to chat about it there while waiting for the news that the bail was successful on the spot.

This Nima made a lot of noise…

was originally an attribute of entertainment and social news, and everyone was very concerned about it, and then we made such twists and turns to come out – at this moment, who has the heart to listen to music!

But my first single is already in stock!

It’s just lying and lying!

The scene is quickly cut back to the studio, and a group of legal experts begins to chat.

Xu Zhenghua gave Guan Yulan a wink, Guan Yulan quickly picked up the remote control and turned off the TV.

“Let’s talk about it, whoever has a good trick, talk about it.”

Everyone was silent.

So Xu Zhenghua called his name, “Old man?”

Guan Yulan hesitated for a moment and said, “No one could have foreseen such an unexpected situation in advance. The key to releasing a single under such circumstances is that you are still a rookie, and you will indeed suffer a loss. The problem is that this matter is not yet seen I know exactly how long it will take to finish. So I thought, either, let’s make some news ourselves, or… make a phone call and ask Mr. Liu from Qixing or Mr. Qiu? See if they have any good ideas?”

Creating news yourself is an idea.

Other things are not easy to make, and it is very easy to gossip.

The old routine in the circle.

And there is a ready-made handle. An Xiaojing is carrying the character and contract of a pure and beautiful girl, and Du Xuelan may not agree, but Jin Xiaoqing is still in control, and directly announcing her love is enough to borrow a lot of popularity from her. Help yourself to quickly pass through the initial budding period.

Coupled with the well-established publicity and distribution ideas of Qixing, we will do our best to create a talented person.

In addition, he is handsome and bragging about his appearance.

it works.

But it shouldn’t be too useful.

Good things don’t go out, and bad things are more convenient to spread thousands of miles.

Two young boys and girls are in love, even if one is talented and the other is beautiful, it is not very exciting.

is still so popular that a rock band actually broke out about murder and rape, which is even more eye-catching.

It’s really not a matter of rumors or an announcement of a relationship, it’s not even better to choose Jin Xiaoqing than An Xiaojing.

An Xiaojing is carrying the name of a pure and beautiful girl, once it is spread out and she is soaked by herself, she is considered to be self-destructing.

However, in all likelihood, An Xiaojing will not be happy.

This girl is very shrewd.

She knows very well that she has no advantage in singing skills. She sells records well. First, she has her own lyrics and music blessing. Second, she not only looks good, but also has the reputation of a pure and beautiful girl.

It is of course important to have good songs and works these days, but I have to admit that there are indeed many fans who will go to buy records with a beautiful and innocent face, or the character of a beautiful girl.

Even if An Xiaojing had a close relationship with her at a negative distance, she would definitely not be so confused as to destroy the Great Wall herself in this matter—if she didn’t cooperate, the topic would not be quarreled.

Therefore, it does not hold.

In other words, under the impact of the news of the Tree Chopping Band, the effect of ordinary tricks is really limited.

“Brother Feng, what do you think?”

Liu Defeng has relatively old qualifications in the industry, at least in this room, he is an absolute veteran. He is willing to come to Zhenghua Music to sign a contract, and he also serves as an art director, which is absolutely low.

The old rivers and lakes have more natural experience.

But Liu Defeng thought for a moment, but said: “I think it is better to be quiet than to move. First of all, I am very optimistic about the song “First Experience of Love”. This thing is very hard. In the record circle, although everyone is hyping it up , but no one can but admit that good songs are the hardest. At this time, with such a big negative news coming, it is difficult to resist any trick you want, so it is better to follow the steps. The news is hot, it should be popular The song will still be popular. On the contrary, if you are in a hurry, if the operation is revealed, it may have the opposite effect.”

also makes sense.

The idea of the old rivers and lakes is very stable.

Xu Zhenghua grabbed his chin with one hand, thought hard for a moment, nodded, and looked at Da Liu again.

Da Liu said: “I think Brother Feng is right. If we sing well, we can go for it!”

Xu Zhenghua thought about it, picked up the phone, and played with it.

Don’t really want to make this call.

Liu Junxian and Qiu Jianfeng are both veterans in the industry. They may or may not have a good solution, but in any case, the partnership between the two parties has not really begun. Before they can prove their absolute strength, they will speak up, no matter what. Whether you can get any substantive help is all self-defeating three-point confidence.

So he played for a while and put it down again.

But just after putting down the phone, it suddenly rang.

He picked it up and looked at it, and by coincidence, the calling number was actually Liu Junxian.

“Hello, Mr. Liu!”

“Tell you something!”

Liu Junxian, as always, went with a minimalist style, without a word of nonsense, “I judge that the next public opinion, I am afraid that it will drop bombs on the music world, discuss the artist’s virtue and so on, and it is very likely that the rock band will be the first to talk about it. , this is a big storm, but you can take a stab at it, you don’t need to be in vain. I think your song “Being Ashamed of Nowhere” is very good, Ying Jinger. And you are a newcomer, and you are clean, so you are not afraid of being caught by them. The more you talk, the more you talk about it Okay. Make a MV in the past two days. Next week, I will directly push this single to the market? How about it?”

Fuck…

The single disc of “First Experience of Love” has already been released, but the publicity has not been rolled out on a large scale. Maybe the MV originally scheduled to premiere this Saturday can be withdrawn, but the disc that has already been released cannot be withdrawn. So if it goes on the market, it is on the market. If there is no place to be ashamed of yourself next week, what will happen to “First Experience of Love”? Are you still on the list? Once the MV is broadcast, then just throw it away?

This position is a bit coquettish.

Xu Zhenghua groaned.

For his first album, of course, he is very attached Depending on the score of this song, to determine the time and song of the second release.

If the results of “First Experience of Love” are good enough and I become popular, then the second song will choose to release the very exotic “Snake Dance” to test the market’s acceptance of the genre of “rap”.

If the results of “First Experience of Love” are average, or not good enough, then the second song will not dare to play blindly. It is necessary to release a work that can hit the charts and get results. The initial set is “Jiangnan”.

In short, there is room for advancement and retreat.

And “No Place to Self” has long been set to wait for the album to be released before it will be released independently as a single, and it will be released at the same time as the album, and it will hit the charts as the title song.

So this song actually exists as a nuclear weapon to detonate album sales.

This is the release plan that was decided after a meeting with the publicity team at Venus Records. At that time, not only Qiu Jianfeng was present, but Liu Junxian, as the collective manager of Zhenghua Music, also attended the meeting.

If you just throw Wang Zhan out at this time…

“Although “First Experience of Love” is considered light rock, it must be considered rock! If you release this single, you can count me as a rock singer, right?”

Xu Zhenghua asked.

Liu Junxian immediately said: “No! This song is said to be rock, but it is too popular. The lyrics are very light and the tune is too sweet. After the song comes out, there is a high probability that those who do rock will not admit that you are rock. Singer’s. In normal times, this song would blow up, but in the next wave of discussion, this song won’t get any cheap. It’s too light.”

Well, that makes sense.

Xu Zhenghua himself admitted that “The First Experience of Love” is considered a light rock, but in terms of attributes, it is actually more popular – the word used by Liu Junxian, it is very ‘sweet”.

Raising his hand and pinching his temples, after thinking for a moment, Xu Zhenghua shook his head, “No, Mr. Liu. I can understand what you mean, but I still think that instead of joining in the fun, it is better to follow our established plan and go steadily. If you can’t catch up with the popularity, you won’t rub off. No matter how big the trouble with the tree-cutting band is, the fans will not listen to the music at all. As long as everyone is still listening to the music, I will have confidence in my work.”

The opposite side pondered for a moment and asked, “Are you sure?”

“Sure.”

“Okay, that’s it.”

Liu Junxian hung up the phone directly.

Putting down the phone, Xu Zhenghua stood up and looked at everyone.

“So, that’s it?”

When things came to an end, it was precisely because of this phone call from Liu Junxian that Xu Zhenghua became firmer in his heart.

Afraid of hair.

Earning money is sure to be earned, and red will definitely be red.

The four songs before   , as well as various trials and understandings of the current Chinese music scene in the past six months, have made Xu Zhenghua full of confidence in “First Experience of Love”.

Just a little accident.

at best decides whether the song is a big hit, a hit, or a normal hit.

does not affect the overall situation.

Besides, even if “First Experience of Love” failed to achieve the initially set goal, there will be another song “Jiangnan” later, “Jiangnan” will not work, and there is also “Nowhere to Be Ashamed”!

There are so many good songs, and the King of Light has exploded a lot, how could it not be popular!

“I think it’s fine.”

“OK.”

“no problem.”

Everyone responded.

Xu Zhenghua walked out of the desk, “Okay, that’s it! The original plan remains unchanged!”

…………

“…Of course, the evidence presented by the police station shall prevail, but the problem now is that they have been detained for more than five days and 120 hours successively. It is necessary to explain this to the public immediately, right? Can’t the police say we have a new excuse, and then we can…”

“Hey, hey, alright, let’s not talk about this!”

“Uh… well, I just think…”

“That… listeners, the above is just my personal opinion. Discussions are welcome, but they do not represent the views of this radio station and this program group. Okay, then let’s listen to a new song…”

“…”

“This is a song from a rookie singer, Xu Zhenghua, wow, Xu Zhenghua! Do you still remember “A Thousand Thousand Que Song”? I remember… ah, yes, let’s first introduce who this Xu Zhenghua is Also. Zhenghua Music signed a singer. It is said that he is currently studying at the Conservatory of Music, but more importantly, everyone, “Short Hair” and “When Love is Approaching” are very familiar, right? There are also “Thousands of Que Songs”, and “Beautiful Eyes” “! That’s right, this Xu Zhenghua is the author of the above four works that have become popular in the past six months!”

“Wow, this is amazing! They are all very popular works!”

“Yes, in fact, fans and friends who are familiar with the trends in the music world in the past six months must be familiar with this name. In the industry, this name has become one of the most famous names in the past six months! So now, he actually released it by himself. New song, I am really looking forward to this one! Let’s listen to this single, its name is…”First Experience of Love”.”

The volume of the radio was turned up a bit.

As the host finished the introduction, the music of “First Experience of Love” finally sounded.

The time is November 5th, Friday, and Xu Zhenghua was on his way to the airport.

According to the promotion plan formulated by Qixing, the promotion of “First Experience of Love” will start from a music festival in Qiongzhou – the time is tomorrow morning, and when the MV premieres in the evening, it will start to gain a certain reputation. From then on, I have to travel all over the country one after another. Radio and TV programs must be added to a set package at any time. In short, the more popular the song, the busier people will be.

Yuan Wei kept clamoring to follow him on this trip, but Xu Zhenghua agreed, so she could just treat her as a little assistant, and there was no need to add an extra room anyway.

As an agent, Guan Yulan will definitely follow.

In addition, Xu Zhenghua only brought one second senior brother, Lu Liguo.

Carrying luggage, acting as a bodyguard, and even providing some combat power at critical times, all require his presence.

“I want to buy wine to drown my sorrows,

but lazy and don’t want to go out,

I want a pack of longevity cigarettes,

Found out that I was under eighteen

…”

In the early four minutes, the song finished playing.

“Okay, then this song is over… Dabin, what do you think of this song?”

“Fuck! How is it? It sounds good! It’s so **** good!”

“Uh…cough…cough, talk about it, comment.”

“Well, cough… The song is great, it should be considered a light rock approach, but it’s a bit more pop, very unique, and it sounds very good. I, Dabin, never brag about it, this song is really excellent, very catchy , If I have to talk about the shortcomings, I think the lyrics are a little drooling, but the problem is not big, but there are several places, all of which are very interesting, the longevity smoke, haha, very interesting…”

Xu Zhenghua in the back seat pouted, “What the **** is this boasting about!”

Guan Yulan turned her head and smiled, “It’s already spent money. This Da Bin is still quite famous in the music critic circle of the imperial capital. I don’t want to say good things, but probably because of this, he is also very well-known among fans. Generally speaking, he is a music critic who is more positive in his comments. Once you become famous and listen to him again, there will be subtle changes in his words…”

All right.

One of the contents of the package.

The premiere of the   MV was of course an iconic moment, but before that, the major radio stations had already begun to operate with the magic wand wielded by the publisher, Daystar Records.

is a warm-up.

“Dear fans, as far as I know, the MV of this song will be premiered on Tiangong TV this Saturday, tomorrow night. You must watch it then. It is said that Xu Zhenghua himself is super handsome…”

Well, this is good, so it feels like the money spent is working.

Tomorrow night, it will make its debut.
