Chapter 117 Price from sitting on the ground
“Take a deep breath, don’t be nervous!”
“Call…”
“Relax! Relax!”
“It’s okay, the more you talk about it, the more nervous I get!”
Qiongzhou, a famous beach for thousands of people.
It is already November. Qiongzhou is the first choice and favorite of Chinese people for vacations, not to mention that it has entered the peak season. In the afternoon, the wind is sunny, and the whole beach is full of Wuyang and Wuyang. People, and with the opening of the Beach Music Festival, many people gathered spontaneously.
The stage is not high and the area is not large.
But there are many famous singers who come.
The Chinese are rich, love travel, and love music, so the idea of combining music and travel came into being of course. Music festivals in the form of Qiongzhou’s Beach Music Festival, in the country, there are no 100 or 80 places – new singers running music festivals are originally one of the most cost-effective publicity methods, and the slightly famous ones. If a singer is willing, just running such large and small music festivals throughout the year is also a lot of income.
A rock band is performing on stage.
I haven’t heard of it before, so I don’t think he’s famous, and he sings a work that everyone is not familiar with, so the audience’s reaction was a little cold.
This is not a good thing.
As the old saying goes, the audience will be willing to applaud and respond to a heated venue, and the performers can often perform well, but in such a cold venue, the audience is very indifferent, it is difficult to handle .
But there is no way, the beach music festival gives a lot of money, although there are some third-rate singers, but they are already singers after all, and they must appear later.
A rookie like myself, who is not famous, of course has to appear in the front.
Even, it is said that those who appear at night are the real big names.
“Attention, it’s almost time for you.”
“Would you like to drink some water? Moisten your throat?”
Guan Yulan and Yuan Wei were one after the other, meticulous.
But Xu Zhenghua couldn’t help but turn his head and glance at them.
To be honest, it was his first time as a singer, and he was about to face his first stage performance. He was indeed a little nervous, but at this time, he found that Yuan Wei and Guan Yulan seemed to be more nervous than himself, but he suddenly came back to his senses. Well – not so much, right?
He is actually not someone who is afraid of big scenes. The reason why he is nervous now is that he has fallen into a certain emotion. After all, he has never been a singer before.
But now I think about it: I’m going, what a big deal!
I took a sip of the water glass and moistened my throat. I just handed the glass back. Coincidentally, the band’s performance on the stage was over. When they left the stage, the host had already appeared on the stage. In a few simple sentences, I changed the scene and introduced the next song. Song, “Let us have a request – Xu Zhenghua, bring us this beautiful “First Experience of Love”!”
The venue was so cold that there was almost no response from the audience.
Xu Zhenghua stepped onto the stage and took the wired microphone from the staff, “Hello everyone!”
He put up a pergola in his hand and looked down, with a relaxed and unrestrained expression, “Qiongzhou, the holy land of love, remember to love it, “First Experience of Love” is for you!”
was rushing to finish his words, and the prelude had already sounded.
So he stopped talking and swayed naturally to the rhythm.
The rhythm of this song is obviously brisk, and the lyrics are also plain, “If you want to leave me, please be honest and tell me, don’t go sneakily, and wait half a year like last time. If you really want to leave, Give me back my photo, it won’t work on you, I can give it back to my mother…”
Soon after entering the chorus part, Xu Zhenghua stood on the stage and looked down, and clearly captured many audiences swaying with the rhythm, so there was still a little so-called tension, which soon completely dissipated without a trace. .
The more he sang, the more relaxed he became—
“Whatever lasts forever, just talk casually, you can’t say what you love about me. When you meet a handsome guy, leave me aside. In a hot summer, your heart is like a cold winter night…”
It takes four minutes to sing a song. By the time the second chorus is sung, the venue has obviously started to heat up, and when the performance is over, Xu Zhenghua said, “Thank you everyone, the “First Experience of Love” single disc has been released. , please support me!”, and when he bowed and walked off the stage, there was a rather warm applause from the audience, and many people even whistled.
returned the microphone, Xu Zhenghua quickly stepped off the stage and asked, “How do you feel?”
“Perfect!”
Guan Yulan sent compliments in a timely manner.
Yuan Wei also flattered, “Many girls look at you with light in their eyes!”
“what!”
Xu Zhenghua let out a laugh and turned around to look for it. After a while, he saw the publicity assistant of Venus Records approaching. When he got close, his attitude was very high and excited, “The performance is very good, Zhenghua, your stage attitude is also very good. Relax, this is rare, and I will have nothing to do next, waiting for the MV to be broadcast tonight. You can play it tonight and leave at nine o’clock tomorrow morning.”
“it is good!”
It happened that this performance also received an appearance fee of 800 yuan, and Xu Zhenghua sent an invitation, “Let’s go, let’s find a place to eat and drink together.”
Assistant Na Xuanfa hesitated after hearing the words, and was about to agree when suddenly a middle-aged man strode over to him, “Hello, I’m the manager of the music festival organizer, can I invite you to the evening performance?”
“Uh……”
This is because the response from the scene was very good, so you have to add more scenes?
“Yes, of course!”
As a newcomer, Xu Zhenghua, of course, has no qualifications to be picky. As long as he can get on the stage, he must fight for it, so the publicity assistant didn’t even look after Yulan and Xu Zhenghua, and directly agreed on his behalf.
In the afternoon, there were only three to five thousand people at the scene, and in the evening, there were tens of thousands of people!
That is really crowded, and the publicity effect is excellent!
So Guan Yulan leaned over, negotiated the price with the other party, came back two minutes later, and happily reported to Xu Zhenghua, “Congratulations, you have increased the price, 1,500 yuan!”
“Ha ha!”
This is a pleasant surprise.
It doesn’t matter how much money, it’s mainly because the feeling of sitting on the ground and starting the price is very cool.
What’s more, the audience clearly loved the song!
An established distribution giant like Qixing Xing does have its own brilliance in publicity. At least for the first stop of this publicity tour, Xu Zhenghua felt that they arranged it just right.
Performing in public, and performing publicly in a very relaxed situation, will not only help you increase your actual stage experience, and once you get a good response, it will quickly increase your confidence on stage.
not bad.
So at half past eight in the evening, Xu Zhenghua took the stage again.
This time, he had just appeared on stage, but there were applause and whistles immediately from the audience, so Xu Zhenghua became more and more confident, waved his hand under the stage, advertised himself first, and then easily sang.
When the song ended, the audience responded enthusiastically.
The applause and whistles were almost continuous.
When he got off the stage, Xu Zhenghua put his arms around Yuan Wei, “Let’s go, where’s the boss?”
Yuan Wei’s chin moved forward a little.
Xu Zhenghua turned her head to look, Guan Yulan had just finished chatting with a girl, turned around and walked back, and after meeting Xu Zhenghua, she whispered, “A little singer, I have a role to play tonight, even behind you, know You are the author of “A Thousand Thousand Que Song” and “Short Hair”. If you want to come over and get close, I will help you to reject it. This kind of intention is too obvious. “
Xu Zhenghua suddenly glanced back and saw that the girl was talking to a middle-aged man with a sad face. The middle-aged man seemed to be her manager and was talking to comfort her.
has nothing to say, the industry is normal.
He quickly met Lu Liguo and the propaganda assistant sent by Qixing, with an excited look on his face, “It’s going to be popular! It’s bound to be popular! As for the on-site reaction, I’ve been in the industry for ten years, and I’ve only seen it once or twice! Zhenghua, you will soon become a big star! “First Experience of Love” will definitely sell!”
“Ha! Thank you!”
Everyone hurried back to the hotel where they stayed, and squeezed into Xu Zhenghua’s room. When I turned on the TV, I realized that it was still a little late, and the MV had already been put in the second half.
But the self who appeared on the TV screen…is so handsome!
Damn, why am I so handsome!
ruffian handsome ruffian handsome!
The MV just finished, and the phone calls came in one after another.
“After reading it, my son is so handsome…”
This is mom.
“I watched it with your master, my little seven is so beautiful…”
This is the wife of a teacher.
“Look, it’s pretty good, but it’s still not as good-looking as you. But Xiaomi said you’re handsome…”
This is the big sister.
But…hey, shouldn’t you comment on whether the song is good or not?
I don’t need to say that I’m handsome, right?
“You are so handsome, husband…”
“You are so handsome, Zhenghua…”
Excited!
No one praised a good song, but everyone praised my face!
At the beginning of nine o’clock, the publicity assistant of Qixing Xingxing knocked on the door and came in. He took a look and found that Xu Zhenghua, Guan Yulan and Yuan Wei were all wearing clothes. The phone calls are starting to enter the TV station, it has been set, and it will be replayed tomorrow!”
“awesome!”
Guan Yulan clenched her fists and waved excitedly.
At least in this era, no one can deny that the MV is an absolute propaganda tool, and being able to get a replay after the premiere means that the MV has gained a certain degree of recognition and another promotion opportunity, and it is almost completely free. Yes, of course a good thing!
“So tomorrow…”
Xu Zhenghua asked.
The publicity assistant immediately replied, “Let’s start at nine o’clock, go to Haikou first, record variety shows in the afternoon, and go to the radio in the evening.”
…………
The effect of MV replay is exceptionally good.
Fortunately, Lu Ming made a special call to say that he went to several record stores and video stores on the street, and saw many young boys and girls running in groups to ask about this record.
And it is said that his large poster is very popular.
Posters are not sold separately as commodities. Currently, the method implemented by Venus Records is to print 100,000 copies, and the first 100,000 copies of CDs will be given away with the CD, but it is said that many record stores have privately decided not to send them, and have to buy three copies. Only one CD is sent.
But there are still many people who are willing to buy three discs just to get that poster.
It is said that it is mainly girls.
…………
“The First Experience of Love” has officially started.
After staying in Qiongzhou for less than two days, a group of five people turned to Yizhou Island non-stop.
This is also a very popular winter tourist destination in Daming, and the publisher, Qixing Records, believes that the song “First Experience of Love” has a lively and interesting rhythm, which is very suitable for promotion from the warm tourist city in the south.
The original plan was to stay in Yizhou Island for two days, mainly in Jilong City and Kaohsiung, to participate in two local TV shows, one public performance, and two interviews with radio guests.
In the end, I didn’t expect that the talent had just arrived in the chicken coop, and actually received an invitation for a commercial performance. Guan Yulan quickly negotiated with the performance company, and the appearance fee was 4,000 yuan.
catch.
Unexpectedly, I turned on the faucet directly.
Although Xu Zhenghua’s current reputation, local bars, commercial performances, etc. that have performance needs, most of them can only contact Guan Yulan through the performance company. The money here will be taken away by the performance company. A lot of money, but I can’t stand it The money was easily earned – and considering the effect of publicity, people in bars love to play, and generally like to listen to songs. The music style of “First Experience of Love” is indeed relaxed and happy, very suitable, and it should be publicized. .
The first few days were great.
After running all kinds of things every day, Xu Zhenghua and Yuan Wei were still energetic and happy, but after just four or five days, the two became tired unconsciously.
Some late-night radio programs will not be completed until after twelve o’clock or even one o’clock, and if you go to the studio to record the program, it is very likely that you will wait a day, and it will be recorded in half an hour when you are on stage.
To sing, to laugh.
To see people talk about people, see ghosts to talk ghosts.
Yuan Wei was better, but he was exhausted from flying back and forth, while Xu Zhenghua had to face all kinds of occasions and all kinds of people.
Rao was used to seeing all kinds of big occasions in his last life, but such rushing around still made him feel tired—but this is the only way for a newcomer and a young singer to become popular.
Actually, it’s already pretty good. As soon as the first single is released, there will be an MV first, and there will be TV programs in various places that can be recorded. This is the treatment of second-tier singers.
Many singers can’t get this kind of treatment even if they have released their second album!
And it may be that Venus is very optimistic about his appearance, so it is obvious that the radio programs arranged for him do not account for much, but the TV stations have more programs.
Sell your face!
Xu Zhenghua does not complain or is tired, runs steadily, and takes every program seriously.
Of course, during this period, although there are not too many programs that ask Xu Zhenghua about the tree-cutting band during recording, Xu Zhenghua has always been paying attention to this matter.
As Zheng Zhiguo and Qin Ye were released from prison on bail, they quickly formed their own team of lawyers and began to make full preparations, as if they were going to fight the police against the law.
For a whole week, the heat of this matter remained high.
According to Guan Yulan’s inquiries, “Kankanfatan” is likely to return to the top ten of the A chart next week, and it is even said that their album sales have become hot again.
This is what makes Xu Zhenghua feel very strange in this time and space of the Ming Dynasty.
Even if people are caught, the works can still be sold.
Don’t say that Zheng Zhiguo and Qin Ye are just suspects and have not been convicted. Even if they lose the legal battle in the future and they are sentenced to prison, the album will still be sold. The reason for the album to be removed must be that the album and the There is a problem with the work itself.
Of course, if a serious crime is determined, even if the publishers and retailers are unwilling to take them off the shelves, there is no way for them to force them to take them off the shelves. Consumers will protest, take the initiative not to buy, etc., so that the works of these criminals will no longer be available. Can’t sell it for money.
But at least at the moment, not to mention fans, even many ordinary people tend to think that they may be innocent. Of course, the album sold a lot on the news.
…………
“Thank you! Thank you for your warm applause, I’m Xu Zhenghua, bye!”
Monday, November 15th.
The provincial capital of a southern province, the scene of a large shopping mall promotion.
As soon as Xu Zhenghua took the stage, he caused a sensation in the audience. The scene was already crowded with people, and there was even a wave of people. Many girls shouted Xu Zhenghua’s name aloud and tried their best to squeeze forward.
When the singing started, there were already many people in the audience who could sing along.
And when Xu Zhenghua bowed his hands and stepped down, the girls who shouted Xu Zhenghua’s name suddenly became more and more crazy, so much so that it meant something like a tsunami.
“It’s only been a week since I ran! It seems that I’m really going to become popular!”
After getting off the stage, under the **** of Lu Liguo, Xu Zhenghua walked into the backstage quickly, and followed the instructions of the staff of the other party, leaving from the back door, until he got into the rented car, he relaxed and followed with a smile. Yuan Wei, who followed him into the car, joked.
Yuan Wei smiled and squeezed his eyes, “It’s not about to be red, it’s already red!”
Xu Zhenghua thought she was flattering, so he laughed when he heard the words, but at this time, Guan Yulan, who was also sitting in the co-pilot seat, had already handed over the phone, the screen was on, and it said: No. 6 on the A list.
Lying down… trough!
No. 6 on the list in the first week?
Xu Zhenghua looked up at Guan Yulan in disbelief, Guan Yulan said with a smile, “I didn’t tell you yesterday, a lot of news shows that the ranking may exceed our expectations!”
what!
Cool!
took the phone and took another look, the text message was actually sent to Guan Yulan by Qiu Jianfeng.
is still an exclamation mark.
Haha, it seems that Qiu Jianfeng is also very surprised!
Throwing the phone back to Guan Yulan, Xu Zhenghua waved his hand, “Let’s go, let’s find a place to eat something good at noon, I’ll treat you!” It took less than five minutes before and after the stage, and it was 8,000 yuan. To be honest, Although it may not be too much in terms of the amount of money alone, and Xu Zhenghua has not looked at it in his two lifetimes, but the feeling of earning money directly on the stage still makes him feel very happy, “Yes, with this ranking , I’ll take over the business performance next, should I raise the price?”
Guan Yulan laughed, “Of course! Starting from 15,000, try it for two days.”
