In the first two years of the 1980s, domestic music albums were generally serious and lively. On the basis of ensuring "healthy content", the style was made a little more relaxed and cheerful. Li Guyi and Hu Songhua were both representatives, and their tape sales could reach more than 100,000 boxes. The emergence of pop songs really began to break through one million and two million. The first pop singer who could carry sales should be Cheng Lin, who sang "The little conch, blowing, the seagulls spread their wings and fly." She was not yet an adult, and although she sang pop songs, they were not about love. Then there were Zhang Lei, Zhang Xing, Li Lingyu, and Zhu Xiaolin, and the tape sales began to soar. Of course, there was also the factor of the increasing popularity of tape recorders. So at this stage, 100,000 boxes of tapes were not too exaggerated, but it was also quite a lot. Jiao Hongjun was so excited about it, and everyone followed suit. Zhang Mingmin was the most amazed: "They were all sold out in one day? It would be platinum in Hong Kong!" "What is platinum?" Li Lingyu asked. 【At this point, I hope readers will remember our domain name Taiwan Novel Network →🆃🆆🅺♦🅽.🅲♦🅼】 "In Hong Kong, an album that sells 25,000 copies is called a gold record, and 50,000 copies is called a platinum record. Alan Tam is now the most popular male singer, and his best record is 300,000 copies, 6 platinum." Hong Kong's IFPI was established in 1967, and the gold and platinum records awards began in 1977. This standard has already been established. When Zhang Mingmin said this, he saw that everyone looked strange, and explained: "Hong Kong is a small place with few people, and tens of thousands of copies are already very impressive. Mr. Jiao, do you mean we don't have to participate in the event tomorrow?" "No way, there are no tapes, how can we go?" "But we have promoted it in advance, it's not good to break the appointment, I think I still go and take a look, at least walk through the capital." Zhang Mingmin said. "I also think it's not good not to go. Even if we can't buy tapes, we sing a song for everyone to thank the people." Li Lingyu said. ♞♞♞♞♞
Both of them spoke, Jiao Hongjun thought for a moment and said: "Well, let's proceed as usual. You've worked hard today, hurry up and eat, I need to communicate and order more!" "Old Jiao, order more! Don't make us passive!" "Got it! I'll order 1 million boxes this time, I'll see if I can get them all!" Hiss! Zhang Mingmin and Li Lingyu trembled all over, 1 million divided equally, each of them had 500,000, but the accompanying staff kept shaking their heads: "Not enough, I don't think it's enough, how many days can 1 million last?" Jiao Hongjun went back to the office and called Dongfang Company. Before leaving, Chen Qi said that he would contact the company about the tape. "Do you have any more stock? Take as many as you can!" "There are 200,000 left? What can 200,000 do... Forget it, you can deliver it first, and then tell Xiao Chen immediately that Xinhua Bookstore will order an additional 1 million, as soon as possible!" "This batch is profitable!" After the call, Jiao Hongjun patted his stomach, feeling very happy. With hundreds of thousands of dollars in the account every day, selling tapes is more profitable than selling books, and even better than making movies. ..... Xinhua Bookstore ordered 100,000 boxes. Chen Qi naturally would not make only 100,000 boxes. He made 300,000 boxes, but he underestimated the market reaction. After receiving the company's news, the machines in Hong Kong started printing overtime. On the mainland, 200,000 boxes were quickly supplied, and finally set off a little splash. Li Lingyu and Zhang Mingmin ran from Beijing to Tianjin, then to Hebei, and bypassed Tangshan. Wherever they went, the people were like crazy. Not everyone likes it, but the population base is too large, and one in ten million is enough to make a lot of noise. This kind of movement naturally could not be hidden from CCTV and serious audio-visual publishing units. Everyone was furious. One after another, they came to Xinhua Bookstore to slam the table. Jiao Hongjun laughed it off, saying that they were not in the same system, so what right do you have to control me? Then they went to the Ministry of Culture to slam the table. "Oh, the hosting rights of the Spring Festival Gala originally belonged to us, and it is legal and reasonable for us to distribute tapes." CCTV and the Audio-visual Society were incompetent and furious. They could not do anything except yelling because the procedures were not violated. They were also of low rank and could not reach the Ministry of Culture. In the end, they could only find the parents. The parents were naturally the radio and television. "Mr. Wu, look at how they bullied us?" "We all serve the people. Filmmakers are superior, while those who work in television, radio, and audio-visual are inferior? Why?" "In the final analysis, it was the Spring Festival Gala that caused the problem. We should not have handed over the hosting rights in the first place!" "We must host it this year. We can't let them get involved!" "Mr. Wu! Say something!" Wu Lengxi had a headache.
He is in charge of radio and television, and theoretically there is no conflict with the cultural system, but the fact is just the opposite. What Spring Festival Gala, audio and video, are just side dishes. The biggest potential contradiction between the two sides is the competition between TV and film! In the past, TV was not popular and the problem was not prominent. As more and more TV sets were available, the country paid more and more attention to TV programs, and this contradiction has surfaced, that is, competing for audiences. At first glance, there is no logic. TV and movies compete on their own merits. What is the contradiction? But many people think like this. When the film industry declined later, some old comrades were very angry: "Why didn't they introduce policies to restrict TV?" "Okay, okay!" Wu Lengxi didn't want to pay attention to these trivial matters, and said: "It is wrong for them to distribute tapes, but there is no big mistake. Can we fight a lawsuit for a few tapes? As for the Spring Festival Gala, it is indeed an important event. If you want to do it, then come up with an eye-catching plan and implement it into specific programs. It's only April now, so you have a lot of time to prepare. When September comes around, I will talk openly about the hosting of the Spring Festival Gala. Don't say that I didn't take care of you. "When it comes to this, all parties have no choice but to obey. But he was still unhappy and muttered: "Forget the tape? It's all money!"..." Wu Lengxi was speechless. He felt that it would be a waste to go to the Ministry of Culture in person for a tape. He only said: "Then you can snatch the right to host the Spring Festival Gala and distribute it however you want. Okay, okay, we are all busy. Go." The complainers had no choice but to disperse. Wu Lengxi sat in the office, pondering for a long time, and said to his heart, he really wanted the Spring Festival Gala. How much influence would it have, but the competent authorities did not have the right to host it? His face was completely lost. He was at the Spring Festival Gala at that time and saw with his own eyes how Chen Qi and Huang Yihe directed Ruoding. Of course, it was mainly Chen Qi. He also sighed: "Such talents are not from the radio and television system!" "Oh, if film and television can be managed in a unified way, It would be great, if they are all under the Broadcasting and Television Group, there won’t be so many things to worry about!” Wu Lengxi suddenly had an idea and was ready to act. He really wanted to write a report describing this move, but he couldn't. He, a radio and television leader, asked to swallow up the film system. What would happen? This matter is best left to a third party. Wu Lengxi couldn't think of the details for a moment, but the idea had already stayed in his mind. “The Ministry of Culture has too much power!” "If the film system is brought under the control of radio and television, many people will support it."
