It was also in the next few days in late February that Zhang Guorong's new album, "Monica", was officially launched.

Although the term "hot listing" has been used rotten in the future, there is nothing unusual at all, it is just a marketing method, but now in 1981, the superstar Zhang Guorong released an album, which can be described in one word - hot!

The classic "Monica", which originally appeared on the 1984 "Leslie" album, is now proposed by Yin Jun alone, as the title song of the album for Zhang Guorong, its status and majesty have not changed at all.

First of all, Zhang Guorong likes it very much.

Today's Zhang Guorong has not suffered any setbacks, everything is going well, the gloomy side of his personality has not appeared, and he is completely a sunny and cheerful boy.

The song "Monica", in his previous life, was Zhang Guorong's turnaround, which opened the prelude to his generation of superstars, and even Zhang Guorong's longest-used and last English name, Leslie, is also the name of the album that contains "Monica".

Originally, the original singer of this song was still a Japanese singer, which was launched around 1983, and it was also popular all over Japan at that time.

Zhang Guorong's agent, that is, Chen Shufen Chen Tai, happened to travel to Japan, heard this song, and felt that it was very suitable for Zhang Guorong, so he bought it back and asked Zheng Guojiang to fill in the lyrics again, spending 6,000 yuan, or Mrs. Chen herself, and finally there was the birth of this classic Cantonese song.

The overall rhythm of "Monica" tends to be brisk, bright and dynamic, with Zhang Guorong's handsome and sunny temperament, it is definitely the perfect match.

This was true in previous lives, and even more so in this life.

Zhang Guorong almost did not hesitate, and simply took "Monica" as the name of his album, that is, there is no MV yet, otherwise he will definitely have to record a MV to show his style.

With the dynamic singing of "Thanks, Thanks, Monica, Who Can Replace Your Status ......" in the video record store, the sales of Xiangjiang on the first day broke through a gold, reaching a terrifying record of 27,833 copies.

Because it was released at the same time in Asia, and Polygram has a strong distribution ability, in addition to Xiangjiang, "Monica" has also detonated the market in Japan, South Korea, Baodao and other places.

Zhang Guorong's continuous efforts in the past two years, as well as the emergence of various bonuses, after the statistics on the first day came out, it was a big surprise!

189392 sheets!

This figure is not completely accurate, but it is basically reliable.

The album sold nearly 200,000 copies a day, such a super record, even Xu Guanjie and Xu Xiaofeng are out of reach, and only the global superstar Teresa Teng can beat Zhang Guorong.

Teresa Teng has not released a Chinese album, if she does, let alone 200,000 copies a day, it is estimated that 500,000 copies are no problem.

First of all, Japan Bendu has to solve more than 200,000 tickets for her, regardless of whether this is Japanese or not, as long as it is Deng Tianhou's singing.

Polygram was overjoyed at the moment, and invested a lot of money again and again, and bought advertising space in the newspapers and news the next day to warmly celebrate Zhang Guorong's "king's capital"!

Then, the sales of the next day also stabilized at around 160,000 copies, which reassured everyone involved in the production of "Monica" this time.

According to this trend, the sales of "Monica" exceeded 3 million copies, which is no problem at all, and it is even possible that in two or three years, it will break through to 5 million horror copies.

Although Zhang Guorong is still a lot worse than Teresa Teng's "Goddess in the Toilet", which sold more than 20 million albums in Japan alone, not everyone is Teresa Teng's, and not everyone can enjoy the treatment created by Yin Jun throughout the process.

Although Zhang Guorong is a son-in-law, he is a little arrogant and rich and exaggerated, but he is definitely not brain-dead, on the contrary, he has a bit of the nobility and self-cultivation of a rich son, and he does not have so many dark, vicious and exaggerated thoughts.

Yin Jun can help write songs in response to his needs, and he Zhang Guorong can't be grateful, how can he care about these things?

When the sales came out in two days, the overall situation was basically decided.

Ordinary fans are happy, but they are only rejoicing for the popularity of their idols.

But even happier are the people in the music industry.

Because they know what to do.

From the hot sale of Zhang Guorong's album, they can keenly perceive that the hot era of records seems to have arrived!

Once the economy is developed and people who are affluent like listening to pop songs and are willing to buy album records, then other singers will also benefit, and the albums will sell well, from the top to the bottom of the record companies, distributors, etc., can make a lot of money.

However, many record companies are also unhappy, including PolyGram.

That's the exaggerated condition that Kirin Records gives to songwriters, and it actually wants songwriters to share the profit dividend!?

Although there is only 1% of lyricists and 1.5%-2% of composers, accounting for not much of the total dividend ratio, this is the first time in the world!

In the past, the average lyricist wrote one or two thousand lyrics and lyrics, and the composer wrote two or three thousand songs, and the better ones were only three or five thousand, and the most expensive one was eight thousand.

Now it's troublesome, not only do they have basic lyrics and songs, but they can also enjoy a share of the overall profits, which is equivalent to grabbing meat from the mouth of the record company to eat, of course they are not happy!

If you want to say that Polygram is abroad, it is actually calculated according to the reserve price plus dividends.

Yin Jun's records and singles for Deng Lijun are all at this price, bringing Yin Jun more than 10 million US dollars in income.

However, foreign companies are not a good thing, they are all for profit, as long as the law does not stipulate, they can do any bad thing.

None of the patent laws and regulations of Hong Kong must protect the rights and interests of songwriters, so they just follow the local customs and follow the cheapest buyout price.

Kirin Records took the lead and took the initiative to give dividends to songwriters, obviously working against everyone.

It's just that although the major record companies are unhappy, those songwriters are very much in agreement, including many singers who nodded and praised.

"What? You ask me if this dividend system is good? What do you say? I have been writing lyrics for so many years, and this is the first time that I can have the right to dividends, and I can earn more money to buy wine and have fun, what's wrong?" the open-mouthed Huang Lao Wei replied to the reporter.

"Songwriters abroad have been participating in the record dividend system for decades, and from now on, Hong Kong is on the right path, which I think is very good, which can inspire more excellent songwriters and let everyone hear more beautiful melodies. Gu Jiahui, who was a little more subtle, said.

"As a lyricist, my price five years ago was 500 yuan for a poem, and now it is only 2,000 yuan. But you see, the housing prices and prices in Xiangjiang have risen to a crazy level? Our efforts are obviously disproportionate to our income. I hope that everyone can learn from Kylin Records and treat songwriters with sincerity, which is the best way to develop. Zheng Guojiang, a famous lyricist, spoke.

"As you know, in addition to singing, I also write some lyrics and songs for myself and my friends. But now that Jun Shao is doing this, I'm afraid there will be fewer people who are willing to come to me to invite songs. But I'm not sad at all, I'm happier. Because this is a great thing for all songwriters, there may be short-term pains, but the future must be bright!" Xu Guanjie, a generation of singers, replied to the interview.

"Oh, I think Ah Jun is a very courageous person, what's wrong with doing this? Songwriters are so hard, and we all see it, why can't we share the profits with them? At least I'm supporting!" Zhang Guorong didn't hesitate to support his friend in front of the camera, ignoring the face of the Polygram boss behind him.

“……”

Seeing that the hype is so hot, it seems that it has become an inevitable trend to increase the salary of songwriters, but if you really take a closer look, except for Kirin Records, none of the record companies have spoken, and you will know that things are not so simple.

Yin Jun didn't care when he saw this.

Any change in the tacit understanding that has been formed for a long time will not be achieved overnight, it must have a process.

To put it simply, there are still a lot of people in Xiangjiang who run red lights indiscriminately, this is because there was no such thing as traffic lights before, and in their eyes, it is still the most comfortable state of disorder in the past, so they don't care about these traffic laws at all.

But after 20 years, there is no red light for the locals in Hong Kong, and this is the power of education and subtle influence.

The same is true for the record industry.

Perhaps at the beginning, under tremendous pressure, the major record companies would only symbolically increase prices by 1000, 2000, 3000, and 5000...... Such a price is definitely not expensive to pay dividends, but after such a long time, there will definitely be continuous changes.

In particular, Yin Jun knows that in the next 15 years, with the popularity of the Xiangjiang film industry, it will inevitably drive the popularity of the record industry, and Chinese songs will definitely spread throughout Asia and even further along with the singers of Xiangjiang and Baodao.

Under such a good background, the record company can make so much money, and it will inevitably spit out a part of the profits and give the profits to these behind-the-scenes staff.

At that time, songwriters can gradually get the treatment they deserve - the right to dividends.

Of course.

Now that these record companies don't follow suit, it's definitely cheaper Yin Jun.

They don't know that the Xiangjiang music scene will soon usher in a violent explosion that will last for more than ten years, record sales will continue to increase, and the profits obtained will make people laugh in their dreams.

Once they still maintain such a stingy attitude, seeing that these songwriters under Yin Jun continue to receive high dividends, 50,000, 100,000 or even more dividends are put into their pockets, do you say that those musicians in Xiangjiang and even Baodao will be tempted, and will they rush to write songs for the singers of Kylin Records?

With well-written lyrics and songs, the right singers, and sophisticated production, Kirin Records will of course achieve the desired success.

If done well, Kirin Records will become the largest record company in the Chinese-speaking region, and even in Asia, within three to five years, surpassing Polygram, EMI and Universal Music!

I believe that if that day comes, the people in power of these record companies will definitely regret their short-sightedness and stinginess!

In any business, it is okay to be frugal, but it is absolutely not advisable to be stingy.

Especially in this era of fierce competition, because of a little money and lost the opportunity to develop into an industry giant, when you look back on it when you are old, you must regret it!

Opportunity never waits.

Only when the opportunity comes to you, you hold it tightly, can this soar to the sky!!
