One week after the record was released, according to sales statistics from Baida Company, a total of more than 2,000 copies were sold nationwide.

This meets the expectations of EDA.

They have produced a total of 5,000 records, which should be sold out.

EDA has conducted market research and the sales volume of records is closely related to the number of phonographs.

In this era, a phonograph costs about fifteen yuan and a record costs more than two yuan. Even people with phonographs at home cannot buy every record.

But an estimate can be made.

The records of famous Peking Opera actors are sold at a high price. Basically, most of the families with phonographs will buy them. The sales of local dramas vary in geographical terms, but they will be less than one-third.

That is, at least two-thirds of households with phonographs will not buy records for local dramas.

For Meng Xiaodong's record, they probably have lower sales than local dramas.

However, in the second week, the data for the slap in the face came.

Distributors from all over EDA Company have urged them to ship their records, and Meng Xiaodong's records are in short supply.

This record has no market for the elderly, but is deeply loved by young people.

After half a month of fermentation, the four songs on the record were sung in school, dance hall, restaurant, streets and alleys. The beautiful singing and poisonous melody made young people unable to extricate themselves.

The most popular ones in other places are "Night Comes to the Fragrance" and "Jasmine Flower", while the most popular ones in Shanghai are "Night Shanghai".

This song sings the prosperity and depravity of Shanghai, and becomes a must-order song in the dance hall.

Meng Xiaodong became famous in one fell swoop.

When the record sales exceeded 8,000 copies, EDA contacted Meng Xiaodong and prepared to continue working with her, strike while the iron is hot and launch new songs.

Even if there are no new songs, it's OK to sing opera.

EDA Company pursues maximization of profits and continues to make money while Meng Xiaodong is becoming popular.

However, Lin Zixuan would not agree easily. He did not want Meng Xiaodong to sing some messy songs, which would ruin his reputation and over-consumption, and eventually make a flash in the pan.

Moreover, the second cooperation requires changing terms and he needs to get the share.

Lin Zixuan felt like an agent, protecting the interests of his artists.

As a veteran foreign company, EDA Company is full of confidence and will never agree to share the money. They would rather go to find someone else to sing. Since they find that there is a market for such songs, they can operate it themselves.

Lin Zixuan doesn’t care about this, and Shanghai is not the only one record company in Baidai.

Meng Xiaodong is already famous and has many classic songs in his hands. With the successful precedent of this record, he can negotiate terms with other record companies.

What's more, the copyright of these four songs is in the hands of Lin Zixuan, and it is only authorized to be used by Baida Company.

This is Lin Zixuan. He is rich and not afraid of Baidai Company. If he is a little artist without a backstage, he would not dare to put forward any conditions in front of a giant like Baidai.

Baida Company believes that Lin Zixuan is getting more and more demanding, and they agree to increase the reward of Meng Xiaodong to 500 yuan per piece.

Lin Zixuan believes that Baida is sucking blood.

Taking this record as an example, the final sales volume may exceed 20,000 copies, EDA Company made at least 30,000 yuan, while Meng Xiaodong only got 150 yuan. This is not blood sucking.

The first round of negotiations between the two sides froze.

Seeing the popularity of the record, Li Jinhui's Mingyue Song and Dance Troupe was officially established and published an advertisement on "Shen Bao", using Meng Xiaodong as a signboard to perform on stage at Shanghai World.

The singers sang in person and had a new style of dance, which undoubtedly attracted many young audiences to support them.

In the first performance, Lin Zixuan took Feng Chengcheng and his sister Lin Xiaoling to watch it.

In his eyes, the entire stage design was still too rough, the lighting was not dazzling enough, the clothing styles were not many, and the dance rehearsal was not very skillful, but the reaction on the spot was very enthusiastic.

This is the world of young people, and Meng Xiaodong on the stage is a goddess in their eyes.

"This is the famous actor you have made." Feng Chengcheng said lightly.

In Shanghai, it is common for rich children to spend money to support actors, but it is rare to come with their girlfriends, or it is unique.

Of course, this also shows that Lin Zixuan and Meng Xiaodong have no abnormal relationship.

"I will become a singer from now on." Lin Zixuan did not notice Feng Chengcheng's emotions and said with a little pride.

Meng Xiaodong performed continuously in the Great World, and the scenes were full, and newspapers reported it, with mixed reviews.

Conservative newspapers criticized this as Western things, which was incomparable to Peking Opera, such as Peking Opera, which was passed down by ancestors. Meng Xiaodong did not sing operas, but instead sang these messy songs, sacrificing the roots and chasing the ends, which was a disgrace to the family style.

There are also progressive newspapers saying that this is a silence, decadent and debauchery, and low-level fun.

Some newspapers also pointed out that the song's melody is a product of the combination of Western music and Chinese folk songs, and the future of new music.

Amid these debates, Meng Xiaodong was under great pressure.

Some even come from the Peking Opera world, and advised her not to take detours and to be lost and to be back.

Her elders also put pressure on her family to prevent her from becoming a shame to her family. The original star of the Peking Opera world was destroyed in such a way.

Meng Xiaodong didn't argue or explain, and just sat quietly, looking at the persuasion people.

She didn't give up singing, but just wanted to live her own life first. The money she earned in singing these days was more than she earned in singing in opera in the past two years, and it was easier to sing.

Lin Zixuan did not lie to her.

According to Lin Zixuan, any new thing has a gradual process. After two years of society accepting the profession of singers, she will become the object of envy of others.

At that time, if she succeeds and goes to perform, she will be welcomed by more people and achieve greater achievements.

Difficulties are temporary, and the light is not far away.

Meng Xiaodong thought of Lin Zixuan's consolation, and couldn't help but smile.

She had to stick to this road until the day she saw the light.

Lin Zixuan successfully comforted Meng Xiaodong, but he encountered a little trouble himself, that is, the criticism of "The Smiling and Proud Wanderer" in the newspaper.

Perhaps because "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is about to be completed, many people have turned their attention to Jin Yong's new work "The Smiling and Proud Wanderer", which has led to a significant increase in sales of "Popular Novel Weekly".

At the same time, various comments followed.

Maybe "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is too outstanding, and everyone has high expectations for "The Smiling and Proud Wanderer", but it is inevitable that they will be disappointed when they really see it.

The beginning of "The Swordsman" is similar to "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", both of which are destroyed and the protagonist embarks on the road of revenge.

Wait, something seems wrong?

Why did the protagonist Lin Ping come and make a comedy later? What the hell is that new Linghu Chong?

This is the doubt of all readers.

Could it be that the author did not have a good idea and changed the protagonist temporarily? Or is it that Jin Yong and Jianglang had no talent?

Some even suspect that this is a ghostwriter.
