The record industry is dying, and Chen Muyi can already feel this clearly.

Chen Muyi is a fierce man, a fierce man in the record industry, and his "fierceness" is actually unself-aware in the eyes of many people. Because he often clamoured the "revolution" of the record industry on some public occasions, he wanted everyone to join forces, not to fight inwardly, to eliminate competition internally, to reduce the expenditure on circulation as much as possible externally, and to maintain at least 20 percent of the profits.

You must know that the share ratio of the record industry has evolved from the era of planned economy, and there will be a lot of consumption in the circulation link, so that content providers who spend high costs on production can only get less than 8% to 15% of the profits. That is, if a box of cassette is bought for ten yuan in a video store, the record company can only get about eight cents to more than one yuan of income.

Ninety-two to ninety-six was a golden period, Chen Muyi's dynamic music was established at this time, at that time, although the profit was small but more sales, there were still benefits to be earned, but the further back, the more rampant piracy became, the more rampant piracy was, and the pirated five yuan a cassette or CD could only earn a few cents by yourself, and other benefits would be handed over to various channels for retail, forming a viral spread, and the genuine version could not compete with it.

Under the meager profits, many record companies have gone bankrupt, and those who can stay now are either companies with strong strength, engaged in comprehensive entertainment, and not only rely on issuing cassette CDs to earn royalties, or concentrate on being star agents and making money from commercial performance fees. Otherwise, just like him, the company is not big or small, and in a bad phrase, he can still survive with 10% of the profits.

So for many companies that no longer regard records as their main profit-making sector, Chen Muyi is a bit like a grasshopper jumping up in a hot pot, a bit of a clown.

It is said that it is very easy to get downloaded music on the Internet now, and there are not many people who can afford to buy computers now, but imagine that if everyone can easily download music in the future, cassettes and CDs cannot be sold, the record industry will be called a complete death.

The times are about to inevitably roll over, and many record companies have already felt the chill and are also taking precautions, looking for the next breakthrough point between the front and the back.

This music festival in Shanhai City has gathered the attention of the industry here.

First, all record companies need to produce records, and they have to go through a long training process such as screening and training of singers before they can release records, and then they have to be promoted, which is a lot of cost. Music festivals are naturally able to circumvent this cost and make the singers known. Secondly, the format of music festivals seems to be a profitable model for the current music industry to make money, and it may not be impossible to learn from it. So it can also be said that the record companies that came here are here to learn from the experience.

It's a pity that Chen Muyi is not the only one who has the vision to see this, it can be said that almost all of the well-known large record companies across the mainland, Hong Kong and Taiwan have sent people. For example, Xiao Bai, the vice president of Shingon Records, can't stand the fame of other record companies, and counts the famous artists in Hong Kong and Taiwan, Zhang Lin, Chen Song, and Huang Yuan, all of whom are under this record company. The rest of the major records, according to Chen Muyi's news, all have vice president-level figures.

Needless to say, the leaders who perform well in the music festival may have to dig up each other, Hong Kong and Taiwan are in the front in this era, the culture can lead the trend, and the production level and technology are also at the forefront.

Therefore, as soon as the names of these big record companies are put out, even if the conditions are a little harsh, I am afraid that no one will refuse this temptation to sign a company with well-known singers and artists.

Chen Muyi's dynamic music development actually follows the model of those big companies, and strives to appear "foreign", there are only three singers who have signed a contract over the years, Chen Muyi's cooperation model is similar to that of an agent, and the majority of the cost is still given to the singer, and the profit is not as good as those big companies. Chen Muyi also wanted to use the music festival to see if he could find a few "dark horses" missed by large companies, although this way of grabbing people from big record companies is really a bit of Quixote's bravery, but Chen Muyi is just repeatedly defeated, and this momentum has been passed around in the industry, so it naturally became a joke.

There was even a certain bigwig in the circle who half-jokingly said that they ate meat, and Chen Muyi had to drink soup and choose some crooked melons and cracked dates.

For this kind of Wen Chen Muyi can only smile bitterly sometimes, what can be done, what people say is the truth, although it is said that people are supported by face, but if they can't survive, what's the use of face, being able to find good music and singers is the king.

As long as there is a little hope, even if these big record companies are tigers, he is not afraid of fighting to break the bloody tiger's mouth.

It's just that sometimes Chen Muyi feels a little sad, judging from various data, the domestic record industry is indeed approaching dusk, and an era seems to be coming to an end in front of you.

Winter is coming, will this music festival be the last grand carnival?

......

The Shanhai International Tourism Festival, co-sponsored by the Pacific Asia Travel Association, the provincial government and the Shanhai Municipal Government, was held on March 2 and lasted for half a month.

The themes cover more than 23 activities such as cycling, marathon, traditional temple fairs, lantern festivals, commodity exhibitions, music festivals, high-quality repertoire performances, academic seminars, investment promotion, food evaluation, and cultural heritage exhibitions.

During this time, Cheng Ran frequently saw Li Jingping's figure on TV, and sometimes he suddenly felt in a trance, as if he had suddenly come to the time when he was tutoring at Jiang Hongshao's house in the government compound on the eve of graduating from junior high school.

Sometimes it feels very vain, like it has never happened, and even Cheng Ran can't even remember what kind of smell it was when he smelled the girl's body.

Kind of want to smell it again.

Shanhai City has entered the hustle and bustle of the International Tourism Festival.

On March 6th, the first middle school opened, and the first half semester of high school began. Cheng Ran still lived the days when he and Yu Xiao and Yang Xia in the courtyard went out to the school to report on classes.

Occasionally, Yao Beibei and Liu Ying don't ride with them in their father's car, but they just experience the summer vacation, Yao Beibei seems to be suddenly silent in front of him, and he doesn't often find fault, but sometimes he still comes up with some words that are not light or serious, but they are not as intense as before. I don't know if it's really a heartfelt change in Cheng Ran's attitude, or it's the reason for growth.

With the development of Fulong Company, now the factory building has been built on the vacant land behind the yard, and the original factory has been expanded. New workers' dormitories are also being built, and the high-rise concrete structure makes the nearby units look straight and envious.

And the sensational news for the students of No. 1 Middle School in the new semester is that I heard that the beautiful music teacher Qin Xizhen has resigned.

It turned out that at the end of the last semester, that was her last days in No. 1 Middle School, countless people regretted it later, and many teenagers were sad, hiding a certain part of the ignorant and stupid love of adolescence in their hearts forever.

At this time, there are also many people who have a deep understanding of Xu Zhimo's artistic conception of Farewell Kangqiao. There is a person in his life who came like a colorful cloud and left so quietly.

I was stunned for a long time.

The most difficult thing to let go of is Lin Chu and others in the 57 Degrees Band, from not understanding music theory at all, standing on the stage and trembling with legs and feet, to a performance that can unscrupulously ignite the flame of inner self-confidence, all of this is thanks to Qin Xizhen, but she just left, every time she thought of this, Lin Chu and several people hugged their heads and cried.

Sometimes they will pass by the music classroom, as if they can see the woman who is telling them about music from all over the world, the past and the future, and their own ideals, as if they were in the classroom, and they can empathize with the woman who wants to leave for the distance immediately.

But when I looked closely, I was replaced by an old pedant with glasses.

Where did she go, will she continue on the path of music she loves, and will she ever come back. Every day on the way home from school, can you still see the beautiful figure crossing the road on the ancient street?

Some people just catch a glimpse of it and then disappear into their lives.

A lot of people think so.

But I didn't know that it wasn't long before I ...... They will see that familiar figure again on that stage.

She is like a lotus flower that has endured in the world, even if she is humble and insignificant, she is unknown, but once she blooms, she is peerless.
