Chapter 1466: Deeply Rooted in the Hearts of the People (First Update)
Lin Zhengying is not the only one who makes people envious and jealous.
The second mainland tour was supposed to come back in early August.
As a result, it took until late August for the entire team to return to Xiangjiang.
If it hadn't been for the Ministry of Public Affairs specifically telling them to stop touring, they might have stayed until September.
It was originally planned to have 35 concerts in 15 cities.
But Chen Shufen is very smart. She deliberately increased the time between each city so that she could add a concert if necessary without delaying the concert in the next city.
What I didn't expect was that the first stop of the Fengtian concert had to be added to two concerts because the audience was so enthusiastic.
As a result, when I went to Huajing, the second stop, I only had 2 days of rest and adjustment time.
If Chen Shufen's team hadn't already had experience, and if the singers hadn't had a maximum of 30 minutes of singing time at each concert, which greatly reduced fatigue, this second concert wouldn't have been possible.
Naturally, the three concerts arranged by Huajing were unable to meet the needs of the fans.
Especially when Tan Yonglin's "Love in Late Autumn", Chen Baiqiang's "I Just Like You", Liang Xiaolong's "Tuba is China", Hui Tianci's "New Mandarin Ducks and Butterfly Dreams", Hui Yinghong's "The Great Wall Will Never Fall Down" ...When the song was already played in the streets and alleys of Huajing and in thousands of households, the fans' enthusiasm became even higher.
In fact, many of the songs in this song had pirated copies flying around when the TV series was aired.
But now Kirin Records is very smart. They mix old songs with new songs, and the recording quality is very good and the price is cheap, which greatly stimulates sales.
In addition, it is clear that Xiangjiang singers come to the mainland to hold concerts and sing the songs here. Why don't the fans take a sneak peek so that they can have a full chorus during the concert?
So, under the enthusiastic appeal of the fans, Hua Jing's concerts became six in one go, lasting six full days!
The venue has long since been changed to a large stadium with a capacity of 50,000 people, but every time it is packed, Chen Shufen can't help but sigh, now she can make some money just from the concert tickets.
It won't be as awkward as the trio in the Spring Festival Gala before.
But without their ice-breaking tour, which left a perfect impression on the fans, this tour would not have been so popular.
In fact, for this tour, Chen Shufen has already contacted various venues, and the capacity has increased than before, with the least one able to accommodate 30,000 people.
Today's Chinese people really don't have much entertainment on weekdays.
Watching TV and movies are basically their biggest pastimes.
Therefore, in the 1980s, the ratings of TV series repeatedly broke new highs, and there were many movies with box office exceeding 100 million. This was obviously beyond people's expectations in the future.
In the previous life, there were no large-scale concerts in the 1980s. Singers in Hong Kong and Baodao did not pay attention to the mainland at all. In other words, the mainland was not very interested in singers who held concerts.
For example, the concerts of Zhang Mingyan and Fei Xiang are very special examples.
But the popularity they received back then was no less than that of Jay Chou and Jacky Cheung today, and it was even crazier.
It is said that in every hotel where Fei Xiang stayed, thousands of fans would surround him at night and shout his name loudly, making it rare for him to sleep well.
Although the concerts organized by Kirin Records nowadays are, strictly speaking, platter concerts, they cannot stand up to the good songs sung by these singers and the effective advertising and promotion.
Therefore, this second round of concert tour started in June and ended in late August. Five scheduled concerts in Minzhou were also cancelled, and they all performed 60 shows.
The singers of Kirin Records have traveled all over China's major cities, which can be regarded as spreading Hong Kong's pop culture to the mainland, allowing them to see better music and remember those singers.
Among these singers, the most popular is actually Liang Xiaolong.
Although "Chen Zhen" is not very good at singing, he has martial arts skills. He has rehearsed five songs, all of which are martial arts in nature. Every time this kind of performance comes out, people are excited and applaud non-stop. .
In addition, Chen Zhen himself represents the traditional virtues of the Chinese nation and is a figure recognized by the government.
Therefore, it is not that surprising that Liang Xiaolong is the most popular.
Kirin Food Company and Kirin Electronics Company in the Mainland also signed contracts with them based on their popularity. After returning to Xiangjiang, Huang Laoxie was asked to start shooting commercials to be released on China TV Station.
The advertising fees given to Hong Kong celebrities by the two major companies are not as small as they were given to Liu Xiaoqing and the others two years ago.
The highest two-year advertising endorsement contract for Liang Xiaolong is HK$2 million, and the lowest for a singer is HK$500,000.
Although it is less than in Xiangjiang, this portion in the mainland is extra and can be regarded as an extra bonus.
Moreover, what they get most is not advertising endorsements or 500,000 to 100,000 yuan as remuneration for three-month performances, but the same music tape dividends as the first Spring Festival Gala trio.
The music tape of the trio from the first Spring Festival Gala sold almost 40 million copies.
This time, the ten best collection tapes of thirteen major and minor singers were fully advertised and the tour lasted almost three months. The preparations were very sufficient, so by the beginning of September, almost 150 million tapes had been sold. It’s nearly four times as much as before!
At first glance, the 150 million figure seems too exaggerated.
But in reality, this sales figure is nothing at all.
Today, people's lives are much richer than they were three years ago.
Any music tape can sell hundreds of thousands or millions of copies. A better music tape might sell seven to eight million copies.
After Fei Xiang's "A Fire in Winter" became a hit in his previous life, concerts were held across the country, and hundreds of millions of tapes were sold in one go! !
This is still a music tape.
So look at it, these 10 albums have sold a total of 150 million copies, what does it mean?
Of course, no one dares to say that 150 million music tapes is not a lot.
With the shipment of so many discs, Kirin Record Factory earned 150 million yuan in one breath, which is almost 700 million Hong Kong dollars.
Fortunately, Kirin Group is not a listed company, so these shipments and profits do not need to be mentioned to the outside world at all.
But Huang Bogao and Chen Shufen knew.
After returning to Xiangjiang, they asked Le Yiling for dividend rewards.
Le Yiling couldn't laugh or cry.
yes.
I made RMB 700 million worth of Hong Kong dollars.
But the problem is that Ajun, that silly boy, promised not to spend a penny in the Mainland for ten years, but to stay in the Mainland for development.
So for now, the money earned is just a book number for Qilin Group and cannot be used in Xiangjiang at all.
However, everyone’s hard work is also obvious to all.
In less than three months, I held 60 concerts, traveling to more than a dozen cities, and every one of them was exhausted. If I only received hundreds of thousands of remuneration, and even the staff only paid less than 20,000 to 30,000, It really doesn't make sense.
After all, there is the last time as a comparison.
Le Yiling would not blame Yin Jun, nor would she think there was anything wrong with Yin Jun's constant promotion of Hong Kong celebrities to the mainland.
Since it is Yin Jun's decision, she will support it.
At present, Kirin Group's cash flow is very abundant. Even if Yin Jun has exchanged and purchased a large amount of US dollars, the daily turnover generated by each branch is enough to pay this dividend.
Therefore, Le Yiling approved another 50 million yuan bonus, generously rewarding the singers and staff this time.
But with Sister Yile’s character, of course there must be some repercussions for spending so much money.
The very next day, "Qilin Daily" promoted the topic of "50 million grand prize".
Everyone in Xiangjiang soon knew about this.
More than a hundred people came to share this huge reward of 50 million, which was indeed a focal event.
Today's Xiangjiang is experiencing its most difficult period in the past ten years.
Factories are closing down every day, people are newly unemployed every day, and there is an atmosphere of uneasiness everywhere.
As a result, these celebrities earn so much in one breath, which is equivalent to the income of ordinary people for decades or even several lifetimes. It is really enviable and jealous!
In addition to lamenting how much they earned, everyone also lamented the mainland.
Even though the mainland is still very poor, the largest cities together cannot match the prosperity of Xiangjiang, let alone the per capita income.
But their population is large.
With a population of 1.3 billion, even if the living standard of only 100 million people reaches one-third that of Xiangjiang, it is enough to support an industry.
Some keen people suddenly discovered that unknowingly, Yin Jun not only laid a solid foundation in Xiangjiang, but also had a vast world in the United States. Even in the impoverished mainland, Yin Jun had already begun to lay out and made great achievements. Small achievements.
Whether it is the Kirin brand braised beef noodles, which is best-selling throughout Asia, or the Kirin radio cassette player, which has steadily surpassed the second and third-placed radio cassette players in sales, if you carefully calculate the scale of these two industries, they are already the largest in Asia.
If the mainland develops better and better, and one day truly integrates with the world, wouldn't Yin Jun's wealth and influence skyrocket again?
Anyway, the economy in Xiangjiang is not very prosperous now. Can I learn from Yin Jun and go to the mainland to do some work?
I heard that the mainland is very welcoming to Xiangjiang businessmen, and I feel scared when I hear the various preferential conditions, for fear that it is not true.
But actually there seems to be no need to worry so much.
Because Yin Jun went there and invested so much.
A genius as smart as Yin Jun is not afraid, so why should we worry about it?
