Chapter 77: Platinum Potential

"Eh, okay! Haha, Mr. Mu, don't be polite to me! Of course I have to cheer for the queen's new album, don't forget, I'm also a fan of the diva!"

"Okay! You can rest assured about this, whoever doesn't give face, I can't help but give the queen of the world! Next week, okay, I'll arrange it!"

A middle-aged man in a neat suit hung up the phone and stepped out of a Mercedes Benz.

As the de facto manager of the music supermarket in the capital area and one of the shareholders of the Music Supermarket Co., Ltd., Cao Ke is not only a successful manager, but also because of his own work, his love for music is also very accessible.

His collection of classic vinyl and limited-edition records in his home fills a small warehouse.

Today is Christmas, and he originally planned to give himself a vacation to accompany his wife and daughter, but early in the morning, he saw the news that Leng Ling, the queen of heaven, held a new album launch conference on the news, and then a series of phone calls came.

In desperation, he cheered up and simply came to work!

In fact, most of these calls are from some relatives and friends, because of their positions, the release of new albums by all singers in the entertainment industry is almost inseparable from the music supermarket.

Therefore, even if the singers' new albums have not been officially released, Cao Ke can get the singers' new albums a day or two in advance and try them out.

Of course, he won't audition the songs of those newcomers, because the chance of poisoning is too great, and only the level of Leng Ling, the queen of heaven, can attract his attention.

If he is interested, he can take advantage of his authority to keep a few limited edition vinyl or CDs, collect a few for himself, and give the rest away.

You must know that limited edition vinyl or CDs can be bought at first, but with the passage of time, they often become priceless, especially vinyl records, although the original price is two or three hundred yuan a piece, but when it is hyped, it can often reach thousands of yuan a piece.

However, the profit in this seems to be very huge, but it is only a small profit.

Because with the rise of CDs and cassette tapes, vinyl records have gradually withdrawn from the market.

The presence of vinyl is more symbolic than practical.

In recent years, even singers at the level of kings and queens will not release more than 1,000 vinyl records each time.

The high price of two or three hundred yuan, coupled with the suspension of production of major record player manufacturers, is enough to discourage most people.

Vinyl is a record that some music enthusiasts will buy.

If it can really be sold, and it can be sold for a high price of thousands of yuan, the manufacturers who make vinyl record players will not go bankrupt or change careers one by one.

That is, in a special period when there is no price in the market, vinyl records will be bought back by music enthusiasts at a high price.

And this so-called special period is often five years or even ten years after the release of this vinyl record......

The call just now was from Mu Guiying, vice president of Expedition Media, because the queen will officially release a new album next week, so a book signing will definitely be held in the music supermarket.

Thinking that there doesn't seem to be any great singer releasing a new album recently, Cao Ke casually agreed.

The diva is different from ordinary singers, one of her book signings can increase the sales of the music supermarket by thousands of percent on the same day.

The area of the music supermarket is quite terrifying, with nearly 1,000 square meters, which can be said to be a veritable large supermarket!

In terms of decoration, it is also at the forefront of fashion, clean and bright, coupled with countless shelves and countless albums placed in the supermarket, which is enough to make any buyer who has no goal and no destination dazzled.

In the entire supermarket, there are more than 20 salespeople alone, who are located in all corners of the hall to provide intimate guidance services for buyers.

This is enough to explain the size of the area of the music supermarket.

Even in the morning, the flow of people in the music supermarket is considerable, and from time to time people will come to the counter to pay the bill.

Cao Ke is very satisfied with the scene in front of him, and today's flow of people seems to be the largest in the past few days.

He remembered that the queen released a new album, so he came back to his senses, walked to the counter, and asked his clerk: "How is the sales today?

"No! but a new album from a newcomer is selling well today!"

The female clerk with bangs and a uniform printed with music supermarkets was checking out with the buyer, picked up an album that the buyer had just bought, and said with a smile: "This is the album, and more than 300 copies have been sold today!"

"So fast?"

Cao Ke was a little surprised, if it was the sales of all albums, he wouldn't be so surprised, but this is an album, just one album can sell more than 300 copies?

How long has it been open today? less than four hours!

Doesn't that mean that the album has sold 6,000 copies nationwide?

At the end of the day, wouldn't it be able to sell more than 15,000?

Cao Ke was taken aback, when did the current newcomers become so fierce?

This is comparable to the sales of a second-tier top singer!

It takes more than a month to get the certification of a golden record!

In the past, newcomer groups like Fire Boy were vigorously praised by various channels, and it took more than half a year to sell 500,000 copies.

Cao Ke took it curiously, and when he looked at the cover, he saw a beautiful girl with short black hair, looking up in the rainstorm.

Album Title: "Rainstorm Pear Blossom".

Singer: Bao Yunyun.

Cao Ke sighed a few times, the title of this album and this cover are really suitable for the occasion.

Because of professional inertia, he began to flip through the album and check the publisher on the back.

"Hongzhi Records?"

Cao Ke smiled: "Lao Zheng has picked up a treasure, and it is not bad to be able to get a record of gold records!"

Music Director: Li Qing...... Hey, that's a familiar name, it can't be the one from "Music Star", right?"

As a native of Beijing, Cao Ke has obviously heard the name Li Qing recently, but when he thinks of Li Qing's age, he subconsciously feels that it is impossible, so he smiles disapprerovitly.

But then he couldn't laugh, and when he saw the producer's name, his eyes were a little straight: "Ma Xuqi?"

Platinum Godfather, Ma Xuqi?!

Damn, when did this old guy come out again?

At this moment, Cao Ke heard a soft guitar sound playing in the store.

"Those laughter reminds me of my flowers......"

"In every corner of my life, quietly open ...... for me"

A clear and translucent, with a hint of hoarseness, sings this kind of song full of emotion......

The sensibility that scratched people's hearts made Cao Ke's heart tremble slightly.

"They're all old

Where are they?

Luckily for me

I have been with them to open up."

Many buyers who were selecting and holding events in the store also paused, pricked up their ears, and listened carefully to the song.

"Ah...... Miss her

Laa...... Is she still driving

Laa...... Go for it

They have been carried away by the wind and scattered to the ends of the earth."

Cao Ke was a little stupid when he heard it.

The whispers in the song are quite outstanding, and the singing voice reveals a strong and soft texture.

It's a ballad you've never heard before!

It's a whole new kind of singing!

"What song is this?"

Cao Ke returned the album to the buyer, and asked the female staff a little impatiently.

The female clerk saw the frenzy in Cao Ke's eyes, and smiled: "I know that the boss likes to listen to it, this is the song in the album you just took, called "Those Flowers"!"

Cao Ke was a little stunned, then slapped his palms and said excitedly: "Sure enough, he is worthy of being the godfather of platinum, and his name is well deserved!"

"Come on, come on, play all the songs on that "Rainstorm Pear Blossom" album and listen to it for me!"

......

Half an hour later, Cao Ke looked at the "Rainstorm Pear Blossom" album in his hand with a sigh.

In this, to his ears, there are seven good songs, seven good songs that can be popular!

"Those Flowers", "Meet in 1998", "Sonorous Rose", "Zebra", "Listening to the Sea", "The Girl with Wings", "Sunshine Always After the Wind and Rain", ......

As for the other five, although excellent, they do not jump out of the traditional box, and against the backdrop of these seven songs, it seems a little mediocre!

But the flaws are not hidden, with these seven songs, this album, it can definitely be popular.

A golden record is definitely not the end!

At least it can be sold for platinum!

And during this period, Cao Ke also noticed that after only playing the seven songs in "Rainstorm Pear Blossom" in the store, many people asked about this new album.

At the same time, the number of purchases for the album has skyrocketed, which is enough to prove the potential of this album!

You can't go wrong!

It's an absolute platinum record!

At this moment, Cao Ke's eyes are fanatical, as a music enthusiast, he naturally enjoys hearing a good song, and now he can't be too happy to hear seven songs at once!

And a platinum record is definitely worth the company's resources.

It's all performance!

He didn't think about it, and immediately instructed a few staff: "Put the album "Rainstorm Pear Blossom" at the front and most conspicuous on the shelves, so that customers can choose easily!"

"Also, Xiao Wang Xiao Li, the two of you go and find out the poster of the album "Rainstorm Pear Blossom" and paste it on the promotional shelf in front of the store!"

"Xiao Li, wait for you to contact Hongzhi Records and tell them to hurry up and promote! Platinum teaches his father to do it himself, this album definitely has the potential to be platinum! Tell Hongzhi Records that as long as they promote it in place, if "Rainstorm Pear Blossom" can get the top three on the sales list this week, I will make an exception to arrange a signing session for them!"
