"Sister Zhen, you said you want to postpone the release of the single?"
Zhen Hongfei's assistant was extremely surprised when she heard what she said.
In the past, Zhen Hongfei always complained that the release of new songs was too slow, but this was the first time she asked for a delay.
Zhen Hongfei nodded absently.
The assistant asked cautiously: "How long will it be delayed?"
"Let's postpone it for a month, no, a month and a half."
The original scheduled release date for the new song was the end of this month, but a month and a half later it will be the end of August, which is really too long.
The assistant's face turned ugly, "We have no problem here, but the issuing office may not be willing to do it."
Zhen Hongfei said impatiently: "If you don't want to, then let someone else do it!"
She got the news that Ye Ning's tape was released in the past two days. Others didn't know Ye Ning's strength, but as Zhen Hongfei, who had heard Ye Ning sing, she knew it better than anyone else.
At least it's not useless as rumored outside, and there are songs carefully composed by Yan Xin.
If her single hit Ye Ning's tape, it would definitely be affected, so she had to choose to postpone it.
But it is absolutely impossible for her to tell this truth to anyone, including the assistant who has been with her for many years.
If others knew that she, Zhen Hongfei, was trying to avoid an unknown newcomer, they would probably be laughed out of her mind.
Being squeezed out by Ye Ning has become a topic of conversation in the entire circle. This kind of thing must not happen again!
The assistant heard her emotions and did not dare to persuade her any more. She could only bite the bullet and said, "Then I will go and communicate with them."
"Is there any news from Beijing Audio and Video Publishing House today?" Zhen Hongfei asked seemingly casually.
"The action has started over there, and the new tape should be released soon." The assistant was paying special attention, after all, Zhen Hongfei had been asking about it almost every day these days.
Zhen Hongfei's face darkened. Although new people appeared every year, she was particularly concerned about this Ye Ning.
The assistant looked at her uncertain expression and continued to reassure her cautiously: "Sister Zhen, you don't need to take that kind of newcomer to heart at all. Maybe you won't even be able to make back your capital after the tape is released."
This statement definitely speaks to the sentiments of most people.
Nowadays, everyone in the industry is waiting to see the joke of the publishing house. After a lot of effort to discover unknown newcomers, in the end, it is likely to lose everything and become the most failed investment.
Zhen Hongfei glared at him coldly, assuming a completely disdainful attitude, "Who said I care about her? If her sales can reach half of my first tape, she is considered capable."
The assistant nodded like a fool, Zhen Hongfei debuted five years ago.
The release of the first cassette created a miracle in the industry, with initial sales reaching 15,643 yuan.
After several years of accumulation, total sales have reached an astonishing figure of 40,000.
It can be said that it was an instant hit, completely establishing Zhen Hongfei's unshakable foundation and status in the circle.
In recent years, the only one who has achieved impressive results is Mao Xuenan.
However, Mao Xuenan lacked stamina. Although he had achieved outstanding results, his subsequent development was not satisfactory. Let alone Zhen Hongfei, even Ren Yulan can't compare.
Therefore, Zhen Hongfei said that if Ye Ning could achieve half of her sales that year, it would be as much as seven or eight thousand. How could this be possible for a newcomer who has no mass base at all and is just starting out?
"Sister Zhen, you are really joking. Let alone half of yours, I'm afraid even if it reaches three to five thousand, it will be a miracle."
The assistant's words finally made Zhen Hongfei smile.
Yes, if you want to be popular, you also need to have the right time, place, and people.
She bet that Ye Ning wouldn't have such a bright and famous life!
The phone number in Yan Xin's room on the other side was almost buzzing.
And he didn't answer any of the calls.
All these people came here to gossip about Ye Ning's situation.
After all, the song he carefully composed was directly sung by this newcomer named Ye Ning. Everyone in the circle was curious about what kind of ability Ye Ning had?
But who can believe that he, the composer, has never even seen the singer.
He really regrets it now. When he signed the contract with the publishing house, he should have stipulated the choice of singer.
"Old Yan, why don't you answer the phone?"
His good friend Hu Hai, who was sitting with him drinking tea, had a completely teasing tone.
"There's nothing to answer." Yan Xin said, unplugging the phone line without hesitation.
For a moment, the whole world fell silent.
Although he didn't say it, Hu Hai knew it very well. After all, it had spread throughout the entire circle.
"Let me tell you, you don't need to be too pessimistic. Your songs are absolutely fine. Even if they are sung by a newcomer, they won't ruin your brand. Besides, I think this is actually beneficial."
"Benefits?" Yan Xin now has a splitting headache, fearing that this tape release will affect his reputation.
Hu Hai knew that he was upset, so he picked up the tea cup to moisten his throat and continued to comfort: "Yes. If this newcomer becomes famous in one song, wouldn't it further prove your ability to write songs? Of course, if she can't, it must be her. The ability issue has nothing to do with you."
"It would be nice if it was as easy as you said. I don't know how many people are waiting to see my joke now." Yan Xin sighed heavily after finishing speaking.
Moreover, that Ye Ning didn't know anything about the sky and the earth, and even added so-called songs written by herself to it, which simply lowered the overall quality of the tape.
Hu Hai can't deny this, because Yan Xin is now the best composer in the country, and almost every song he writes is very popular. It has indeed made many people jealous over the years.
"Be more open-minded. After all, I still don't know whether I am alive or dead."
Yan Xin's eyes swayed slightly, "I have contacted reporter Wang. After the tape is released, I will accept an exclusive interview with him and explain the whole incident clearly."
At least everyone should know that he was also kept in the dark by the publishing house and had nothing to do with Ye Ning.
Hu Hai could naturally guess his intention, "That's okay. Anyway, be prepared in advance so that you won't be caught off guard."
Yan Xin didn't expect the tape to sell well at all, and was even a little resistant to the newcomer Ye Ning.
As for what Hu Hai said about becoming famous with one song, that is completely impossible. After all, how can people who rely on connections to get through the back door have much real ability?
