Chapter 237 Time Difference
Songjiang Prefecture, Qingpu Airport.
After a commercial vehicle left the airport, it drove towards the urban area of Songjiang Prefecture at high speed.
In the car, Qi Jie looked tired, her originally bright eyes were now not only a little dull, but also bloodshot, but even so, she was still concentrating on flipping through the documents in her hand, circling them with a pen while reading. little bit.
There were three other people in the car, among them Huang Wenjuan was sitting beside Qi Jie.
At this time, the car was going very fast, but it would take thirty to forty minutes to reach the downtown area of Songjiang Prefecture. Huang Wenjuan couldn't help but persuade her: "Sister Qi, don't look at it for now, or you can sleep for a while. , I’ll wake you up when it’s time! No matter how anxious we are, it’s still a while on the road, isn’t it?”
Qi Jie turned to look at her, smiled, and said, "I'm fine, I'm done with my work here, we still have to go out for a run, northwest, northeast, southwest, and many, many other provinces that I haven't talked about, these materials, I have to read it several times to make sure I have a clear idea of which company to choose, how to approach them, how to talk to them when I meet them, and what the bottom line is. Get the best conditions."
Huang Wenjuan forced a smile, and said: "But, that's not enough for half an hour, right? Look at how tired you are recently. My sister sent me to follow you, just to keep an eye on you. If when we go back, my sister sees that you are like this, why don't you give me a good lesson!"
Qi Jie smiled, shook her head, rubbed her tired eyes, but still said: "I'm really fine! I know my own body well, so don't worry, ah! By the way, follow me for these days Running around has exhausted you, right? Go to sleep for a while, I’ll call you later! Go to sleep!” After she finished speaking, she turned her head and said to the two people sitting behind: “You guys also sleep for a while Come on, I'm exhausted, I'll call you when we get there!"
Huang Wenjuan looked at her helplessly, but Qi Jie had already turned her head and picked up the documents again.
Again.
And these days, almost every day.
In fact, Qi Jie, who is in charge of this matter, has started her astonishing process since she confirmed that the studio will do its own distribution. No one knows when she started collecting and how she collected them. In short, when Li Qian finally decided to do distribution by herself, she immediately took out a thick pile of information, which collected all the big and small sellers from all provinces, cities, and even the government level. and agents.
Then, she had already prepared the materials for applying for the registration and establishment of a new publishing company, and handed them in directly. Then, without waiting for the new company's approval process to be completed, she left the release application materials for Liao Liao's new album "Grateful Heart" in the studio, and then she took someone with her and set off—no one was there either. Know when she did it.
But now, when the few people in the company who followed her in the distribution are still arguing over whether to send the order to Sony, Huage or Cinda's record recording factory for production, Qi Jie directly throws out a sentence, the manufacturer She has already called and communicated in advance, and the basic conditions have almost been negotiated. There are still some specific detailed terms that need to be discussed in person, and then they can sign the contract and start the production line.
But then, she took people straight to Songjiang Mansion.
Because she said, the factory is here.
At the beginning, everyone was very puzzled, but Qi Jie took out a piece of information in the document package and let everyone pass it on for a look. Then everyone suddenly discovered that it turned out that in the fall of last year, a family had been established in Songjiang Mansion. A new audio-visual product production company, and they actually own the fourth CD production line in China besides Sony, Huage and Cinda - and just over half a month ago, this factory has officially started production.
Their production capacity is not a problem at all. It is even said that the standard production capacity is 20% higher than that of Hua Ge. Moreover, they are a new company with a new production line, and they are far away in Songjiang Prefecture, so although they have opened for business, the production line has been officially put into use. However, it is conceivable that the business has not really started, and the production line is estimated to be still in the trial production stage.
At first, some people were puzzled.
But Qi Jie explained that this is the first album of our studio. The two managers, Li Jinlong and Sun Meimei, have already said before that we must be careful not to let the record leak in advance—for a record, especially For the records of famous singers like Liao Liao, leaking songs in advance means that the pirated version will be released at the same time as the genuine version, or even earlier than the genuine version, which will be a fatal blow to the final sales of the record!
Therefore, if you are not afraid of 10,000, you are afraid of the eventuality. At first, Qi Jie even considered handing over Liao Liao's new album to a company in South Korea or Japan across the river to produce it, and then packed it in a container and shipped it back. The procedure is too complicated and cumbersome when it comes to handing it over to foreign companies for OEM. give up.
And even if she is forced to choose one of Sony, Huage and Cinda, she has already made plans to go to their production line and stick to it.
Until, she suddenly discovered that there is actually a fourth CD production line in China.
So, everything fell into place.
To be honest, she would rather pay a higher production cost, and she would definitely hand over the order to the new factory in Songjiang.
What's more, for this newly established audio-visual production company named Minghuang, Qi Jie's call was like a windfall for them. Not only were they willing to pay a relatively low price After receiving the order and making his own production line run first, at the same time, Li Qian's studio, which sent up to 5 million tapes and 1 million CDs, paid great attention to it. The request to close the factory for production was also agreed immediately.
That's why Qi Jie's trip to Songjiang came about.
At this time, when the commercial vehicle that Qi Jie was riding was on the way to the factory, Li Jinlong, who was holding the master tape of the album on the side of Shuntian Mansion, probably had already boarded the plane. It's settled, and the master tape will be delivered later!
... ... ...
On the highway, the vehicle is speeding.
Qi Jie was concentrating on looking at the documents, but she suddenly lost her mind. Then, she put down the documents, turned her head to look out of the car window, sighed unconsciously, and frowned slightly.
Noticing her movement, Huang Wenjuan couldn't help asking: "Sister Qi, what's wrong?"
Qi Jie turned her head to look at her, smiled, rubbed her temples a little tiredly, and said: "We can talk about other things now, no matter how difficult it is to talk about publishing, as long as it is profitable, we can talk slowly after all. At most, there is a difference in the size of the channel, which will affect some terminal sales! But the production... oh..."
She sighed and stopped talking.
Huang Wenjuan looked at her with some puzzlement, and asked, "What's wrong with the production? You found this company, didn't you have a good deal? Isn't it good? Then, as you said, we'll be on the production line in shifts. What can happen?"
Qi Jie smiled, turned to look at Huang Wenjuan, and said, "You think it's all right as long as we are willing to guard? I checked the information. After all, even the CD technology and technical standards were created by Sony, so no matter where Companies in China, if they want to enter the CD production line, they must give priority to Sony, and the company we are talking about is the same. What's more, they have just opened for a long time. I guess, even the people who came to train from Sony have not withdrawn. !Even if we are on the production line, if someone wants to steal, there must still be a way to steal the contents of the album."
"So, this time, we actually want to make a time difference. We have to finish the production step before the record companies in Shuntianfu find out. Otherwise, there is no need to come over there. , just a few phone calls, and our album may be leaked in advance."
Huang Wenjuan frowned when she heard that, a little disbelieving, "So evil?"
Qi Jie smiled and remained silent.
However, Huang Wenjuan couldn't help asking: "Then... even if we finish the production smoothly this time, we will ship it back. What about next time? Isn't Sister Runqing's album going to be released later? Knowing that we placed the order here in Songjiang, wouldn't it be easy to leak it by then?"
Qi Jie nodded, but shook her head again, saying: "In the future, maybe it will be leaked, maybe it won't, but even if it is leaked at that time, its significance will definitely be different from this time!"
After a pause, she said firmly: "Because this is the first album of our studio, we are only allowed to win, not to lose! Let alone the leak of the album in advance!"
Huang Wenjuan thought for a while, then nodded slowly.
At this time, the car had already started to drive down the expressway, and the bustling downtown of Songjiang Prefecture was about to arrive!
... ... ...
On April 13, Minghu Culture Company passed the approval and was formally registered.
On April 14, Minghu Culture Company formally submitted materials to the relevant departments to apply for a national distribution license. Thanks to Yu Bojun's efforts, the company almost didn't waste a single day. After only four days, it got the release license that many record companies would definitely covet.
On April 15th, Qi Jie left Shuntian Mansion, flew directly to Yangcheng Airport, and started the difficult road of distribution negotiations.
On April 24, the post-processing of Liao Liao's new album "Grateful Heart" was completely completed, and the master tape was ready.
On April 25, Minghu Culture Company officially submitted "Grateful Heart" for review and applied for a batch number for national distribution and sales.
On May 1, also with the help of Yu Bojun, "Grateful Heart" passed the review of the cultural department almost as quickly as possible, and got the production batch number and distribution batch number.
On May 3, Qi Jie took a direct flight from Changsha Mansion to Songjiang Mansion. Later on the same day, Li Jinlong took the master tape of the album and boarded the plane at Shuntian Mansion and flew directly to Songjiang Mansion.
On May 4, Minghu Culture Company officially signed an OEM contract with Minghuang Audiovisual Production Company. On the same day, Minghuang Audio-Visual Production Company officially closed the workshop and began closed production.
All of this is coming so fast that it's dizzying.
Everything is approaching like a war.
In fact, for Li Qian's studio, which is just dabbling in publishing, the reason why all this can be done without any delay is because of the official help of Yu Bojun's relationship, which makes the relevant approval On the other hand, it was because Qi Jie had already carefully collected and sorted out all the information related to the release!
As a result, the major record companies in Shuntianfu are still inquiring about Qi Jie's whereabouts one after another, and big companies such as Sony and Huage, which have already understood that Li Qian's studio will do their own distribution, are inquiring about "Grateful" When the order for "Grateful Heart" went to someone, almost no one thought that the album "Grateful Heart" had already been rushed to Songjiang Mansion by Qi Jie personally with the master tape, and it went on the production line smoothly.
But even so, Qi Jie would rather let go of the release that made her miss her heart, and insisted on guarding at the factory, staring at it almost all the time, and no one could pull her away.
After working overtime day and night, it only took more than seven days for "Grateful Heart" to be produced and packed. The transportation company negotiated by the company in advance loaded the car and took it back to Shuntianfu directly.
And Qi Jie also followed the car, until the batch of produced records was safely transported to the leased warehouse in Shuntian Mansion, and he was relieved.
And until then, the major companies who had been wondering why Li Qian’s studio didn’t put Liao Liao’s new album off the production line began to gradually get the news from the south, and then they were surprised to find that, It turns out that "Grateful Heart" has not only obtained the production batch number and sales batch number, but has even completed production!
At this time, after placing the records in the warehouse, Qi Jie was non-stop, and he didn't even go back home. He only met Liao Liao in the warehouse, and he didn't even meet Li Qian at all. Just over an hour later, I boarded the plane heading west again.
This time, her goal was the northwest provinces.
... ... ...
"Production is over?"
"Yes, according to the news from Songjiang, there are a total of 5 million tapes and 1 million CDs. They worked overtime day and night, and they were all offline in less than eight days. And it is said that these eight days During the time, the workers worked in three shifts, but that Qi Jie stayed in the production workshop from the beginning to the end, and never left for a minute. Now... By the time I got the news, they had already pulled everything back, It is said that it is placed in the leased warehouse over Changchun Road."
Huang Dazhong was a little taken aback when he heard it, but he couldn't believe it.
But soon, he realized that he couldn't help but sat back on the boss chair, and said slowly: "It seems that they have been on guard from the beginning! Good plan, good plan! Even I forgot Songjiang has added another production line, and they actually went there directly!"
Speaking of this, he first twitched the corners of his mouth into a sneer, and then became a little hysterical. He slapped the table angrily, and shouted loudly: "But is Li Qian a god? He's a kid, no matter how good he is at making music. , how could he understand these things?"
Sun Xueming heard the words and said cautiously: "But on their side, apart from Li Qian, there are Liao Liao and He Runqing, as well as Li Jinlong and Sun Meimei. Even if Li Qian doesn't move, they must understand! Now that they understand, Then they will definitely remind Li Qian! In addition... I heard that Qi Jie was really doing these things from the beginning to the end. It is said that Li Qian just participated in their release meeting. Never asked again."
Huang Dazhong heard the words, the corners of his eyes twitched, he couldn't help waving his hands and said: "What Liao Liao, what He Runqing, what Li Jinlong, and what Sun Meimei... Yes, that's right, they have all stayed in this circle for a long time In the early years, I must have known about the leak of the master tape, but I don’t believe that people like them who have never done business can come up with such a perfect plan! Huh? It’s so quiet, even the production has already been done Is this a solution that a kid and a group of people who know nothing but music can come up with? As for that Qi Jie, it’s even more impossible! A little Chinese teacher, you expect her to become a girl in a year! Strongman? Is it possible? This must be Li Qian's idea! But the question is... how could Li Qian think of such an idea?"
Sun Xueming couldn't answer, so he didn't speak at all.
After several minutes, Huang Dazhong sighed and looked a little better, but he couldn't help frowning, and said: "It seems that they want to do their own distribution, it is definitely not a temporary idea, it must be They have already started to prepare! Look, their Minghu Culture Company, it is said that it only took less than a week from its incorporation to obtaining the distribution license, and it only took less than a week to produce the batch number and sell the batch number! If this is a temporary idea, is it possible?"
"Oh, by the way, and, looking back now, I think that Qi Jie was running around negotiating, probably trying to deceive people! He was just confusing our attention!"
Sun Xueming still did not speak.
Huang Dazhong looked up at him, waved his hands, and said, "Go out, let me think about it myself. There must be a way, I have to think about it! I must stop them, and I must not let them take it so easily. The album sold! We must not let them make the first shot!"
Sun Xueming nodded, turned and walked out.
Huang Dazhong sat on the boss's chair, thinking for a full ten minutes, and then suddenly his eyes lit up, he stretched out his hand and opened the drawer, grabbed a handful of business cards, flipped through them, found one of them, then reached out and grabbed the phone .
"Hey, Mr. Tong? Haha, I'm Hua Ge's grandson!...Haha, I have nothing else to do. So, I'll treat you tonight. Let's talk in detail after meeting. How about it?...Hahaha, okay ,Do not worry!……"
