Chapter 875 The Battle of Tianwang Mountain (3)
In the third week, "Chopin in November" took the first place with sales of 750,000 copies, surpassing "Youth Album" with sales of 710,000 copies. This was nothing less than an earthquake for "Shanghe"
, at such an important moment, Shanghe urgently needs to prove whether he has Cheng Xiaoyu or not.
At the same time, when "Up the River" put all their efforts into creating this album, they were actually surpassed in sales by a singer who had never appeared before, and the other party only had "GG Music Network" as a sales channel.
...This is really called "going up the river", which is unacceptable to everyone.
When Cheng Xiaoyu was still in "Shanghe", they were the only ones who "could be at the top of the mountain and see all the mountains and small mountains at a glance", and they all climbed to the top of each list with a crushing momentum, but now they are not even the "Boys Over Flowers"
"Not to mention that they have already caught up with them, 'Poison', a not-so-popular singer-songwriter and an Internet company, can actually surpass them, and the other party has no access to offline channels. It is really called 'Shanghe'.
'Everyone was a little ashamed.
Early on Monday morning, Su Weilan convened a meeting with senior management. His family had gone from being full of confidence and high spirits at the beginning to now walking on thin ice and trembling with fear. At this time, Su Weilan finally understood that for some things, courage and execution alone are not enough.
It will definitely achieve the best results. Take the production of records as an example. It seems simple and uncomplicated. It seems that we go all out, spend the most money, and hire the best people.
You can do your best, but this is not actually the case, because art is still spiritual... This is like hiring the best director, the best actor, and ruining the most.
Just like making a movie with money, you may not be able to make a movie that is sure to be number one at the box office... But he couldn't help but think, if Cheng Xiaoyu was still here...
...
Not only the people from the 'distribution department' came today, but also the heads of other departments, including Cheng Xiujing, Pei Xiuzhi, Quan Youli and Jing Xuexuan were also invited to sit in the conference room.
The atmosphere is a bit dull and serious, Su Weilan
Not wanting to make the atmosphere too stiff, like holding a criticism meeting, he knocked on the table, asked everyone to stop whispering, and said with a smile: "A new week, a new beginning. Although the results of the last week were not satisfactory,
But that
It’s all about last week, so let’s put it aside for now and call everyone here today just to ask everyone to brainstorm and discuss how to push our record to a new peak. What we want to do is not just regain the number one spot...
....." At this point, Su Weilan emphasized his tone: "But crush, crush... You know we have the best team here, the best producer, the most popular
star......."
There was silence all around...
Su Weilan pondered for a moment, and then said in a calm voice: "This is a battle that cannot be lost for us Shanghe. What I need now is for everyone to be fully committed, without the spirit of fighting for their lives, and with all their strength.
It is impossible to succeed if you devote yourself to it. Human nature is full of inertia. It will not use all its strength until it is a matter of life and death.
To pay, but a wise person does not push himself to the bottom before working hard, but foresees that if he does not work hard in the future, he will be depressed, desperate, and cast aside by everyone. If he waits until he loses all his resources to realize, then time will
The opportunity has passed and the opportunity has been missed...not to mention that for us, second is the bottom..."
"Now is the real beginning. If you have any ideas and requests, please feel free to put them forward. We will definitely be able to create new glory once again by working together..."
It must be said that Su Weilan's ability to unite people's hearts is still very strong. Everyone thought that the new president would be furious when he knew the results. However, he did not dwell too much on the fact that could not be changed. Instead, he boosted morale and asked everyone to regain confidence and start again.
challenge.
There was a buzz of discussion in the conference room, but there were only so many people who could come up with ideas. Conventional publicity methods were always used, and there seemed to be no other way but to intensify efforts... Resources were also limited.
It has been leaning towards the 'Idol Project'. For an old and decadent company like 'Shanghe', the lack of creativity has always been there, but it was just that when Cheng Xiaoyu was around, this was covered up...
.
The manager of the marketing department came up with the plan he had wanted to talk about for a long time and said: "Can we refer to the model of AKB and Forty-Eight and randomly add ticket qualifications for the 'handshake meeting' in the physical album? This can greatly stimulate the sales of the album.
!”
Cao Danian immediately frowned and said: "What kind of bullshit idea do you have, are you crazy about making money? Is it appropriate to over-consume the 'Idol Project' brand like this? You won't stop until you squeeze out all the members one by one..."
....”
Cao Danian's fierce words made the whole meeting quiet down from the noisy state. Su Weilan glanced at Cao Danian and said: "Minister Cao, don't be angry. Everyone is just expressing their opinions. The handshake meeting... is not impossible...
..." For Su Weilan, as long as it can increase sales, as for moral integrity? It doesn't matter whether you want it or not.
"Mr. Su, you must be cautious when it comes to destroying your reputation and over-operating like this. It is also inconsistent with the original positioning of our 'Idol Project'..." Cao Danian responded seriously.
"Okay, let's not consider this one for now! If you have any other good suggestions, please tell us immediately..." Su Weilan said this on the surface, but deep down, she felt that the 'handshake meeting' method of operation was
, if you have no choice, you still have to do it...
After another discussion without any new ideas, other than arranging a series of plans for the remaining four members of the 'Idol Project' to appear in various singing and variety shows, they did not come up with any creative ideas.
........
Because Ma Guoli was one of the producers, he was allowed to attend the meeting. He did not speak and sat at the end of the seat. Seeing that the meeting was about to end, he hesitated and raised his hand and said: "Can we use the addition of new members to the meeting?"
Members, create a gimmick to hype up? If we recruit new members nationwide, it will definitely attract widespread attention..."
Su Weilan looked at Ma coming over and nodded to indicate for him to continue.
Ma Guoli swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said nervously: "Aren't talent shows popular now? We can make a similar reality show. This will not only draw the public's attention away from poison, but also
Ask all the media to focus their attention on the 'Idol Project'..." This idea naturally comes from the reality show "Secrets of the Idol Project" first designed by Cheng Xiaoyu...
.
The director of the distribution department said: "You must be cautious when adding new members. This may cause protests from fans. After all, there are still fans boycotting our 'Shanghe'. We cannot but say that this factor exists for the poor sales."
......."
Ma Guoli already had an idea in his mind and said: "This is not simple, we give the selection power to the fans... Anyone who buys the new album has the right to vote and can decide who can join or who cannot join.
.....So, it is up to the fans to decide whether to add people to the 'Idol Project' or not..."
Su Weilan felt that this kind of planning seemed to be very interesting, and said: "This is a bit interesting... We can ask a TV station to plan a program together... but is it possible in time?"
Ma Guoli seemed to have seen the ladder of improvement. He said: "Of course there is time... The number of installments is, in the first phase, we will select ten from our trainees in Shanghe, and we will make one ourselves first."
Put the video on the website. If the ratings are high, we will cooperate with the TV station..."
Su Weilan nodded and said: "Then write a complete plan to me immediately..."
Before Su Weilan finished speaking, Cheng Xiujing stood up and said: "Mr. Su, can I object!" Quan Youli on the side did not even pull Cheng Xiujing, Cheng Xiujing said with a cold face: "Join
New members, why should we ask for the opinions of old members like us... I'm sorry I can't agree... Even if Sister Xi and Sister Ning don't come back, I don't want to join anything.
Other members..."
Su Weilan was a little annoyed that Cheng Xiujing jumped out to give her opinion without knowing the importance of it. However, the other party was just a little girl and someone who had to be carefully comforted now. She could only smile and said: "Xiujing, sit down first. Isn't this right?"
Is it still just a plan? I didn’t say it would definitely be done. I can understand your feelings, but the situation is different now, and you also
I know how much effort the company has invested in you... but the results are not satisfactory, so some things are helpless. I hope you can cooperate with the company's decisions and work. Of course, stay here to ensure your income.
It will only be more and not less than before... This kind of promise can reassure you..."
Cheng Xiujing did not listen to Su Weilan's opinion, but said seriously: "Mr. Su, I am not complaining that the company treats us badly. I think you also know that we have never complained about such a high-intensity work schedule, right?
Because we also know that countless efforts of everyone in the company are condensed in us...but why can't we invite Brother Xiaoyu back?"
