Chapter 54: Can You Wait for Me?

"Oh, of course, I want to know!"

Lei Yun suddenly stood up excitedly, this can be said to be the thing he wants to know the most at the moment!

"How's Kevin, are the sales still good?"

He stood up and couldn't help but glance at the stack of materials in Kevin's hand, hoping to find some clues.

"Haha! Very good! RayRay, I didn't expect it to be even better than I expected!"

Kevin laughed and handed the information to Thundercloud.

"In just two months, the record sales have exceeded 30,000 copies!"

Widening his eyes in surprise, Lei Yun hurriedly took the information and looked at it carefully.

Sure enough, there was a five-digit number written on the record sales column!

31,206 sheets!

"Thirty thousand. . . ”

After seeing the sales of records, Lei Yun's eyes continued to move downward, and he suddenly found more critical financial data, settlement unit price and sales unit price!

The settlement price is 9 € per sheet!

The unit price is 12 € per ticket!

The information clearly states that the settlement price is 9 euros per ticket, and the sales unit price is 12 euros per ticket.

The settlement unit price here refers to the wholesale price of the Death Poets Society label to major record stores and distributors, while the sales unit price refers to the price that each distributor and record store actually sells to consumers.

Lei Yun, who has signed the contract himself, naturally knows that the label of the Death Poets Society issued on behalf of him will settle with him at the actual wholesale price, that is, the two parties will settle the authorized share according to the settlement unit price.

So judging from the current sales performance, 31,206 sheets * 9 €, the total sales have been as high as 280854 euros!

And that's just the sales of physical records, but also the licensing fees for radio stations and clubs, and the download share of online streaming, that is, music platforms such as Apple Music, Youtube, and Spotify.

All these expenses add up to a total income of 350,000 euros!

"Oh my God, a total of 350,000 euros..."

Looking at the total sales of 350,000 euros in the last column, Lei Yun couldn't help but be a little stunned.

Suddenly, his brain was running wildly at a speed that he had never seen before!

I enjoy 40% of the omni-channel revenue of the copyright fee, so 40% of the 350,000 euros, that is, 140,000 euros?!

Oh my god!

It's crazy!!

"Uhhhh ”

However, when Lei Yun opened the next page and saw a few big words on the top of the table, he was stunned.

Breakdown of expenditures.

"Oh, yes, and the expenses. ”

Lei Yun only remembered at this time that the 350,000 was just sales, but it hadn't deducted any issuance costs!

Mixing costs, mastering costs, vinyl pressing costs, record packaging costs, transportation costs, advertising costs, office costs...

And so on, a dozen consecutive pages of expenditure details, from the processing costs of the pre-recording studio, to the production costs of vinyl records, to the various distribution costs in the later stage, and even the cost of packaging bags of records are very detailed in it.

With such a professional financial statement, the thundercloud is dizzy, and it can only be hastily flipped over and directly turned to the final profit income.

175642€.

The total profit of more than 170,000 yuan is the final figure for the settlement between Dead Poets Society Records and Thundercloud, the copyright owner, after deducting all the distribution costs.

Only 40% of them belonged to Thunderclouds, which ended up being more than 70,000 euros, which was less than the advance payment that Kevin had paid for the first time.

"Well, it's not enough for an advance payment. ”

When he saw the final number, Lei Yun couldn't help but laugh a few times.

I thought I could give myself some more money, but I didn't expect that the actual calculation was not enough for people to pay in advance.

Seriously, I thought it would be pretty good to sell 8-100,000 copies at most, but based on the current trend, it's likely to reach 150,000 copies eventually!"

As if he understood what Lei Yun was thinking, Kevin was comforted with encouragement.

You must know that the income of the music industry is basically long-term income.

And Thundercloud is almost not famous now, purely relying on the publicity of the publisher and the excellent quality of the work itself to be able to sell to the current number.

After Thundercloud releases a few more popular songs and accumulates a certain amount of fame, it will drive record sales to continue to stabilize, and it is entirely possible that they will sell better than now!

"That's great, to be honest, it's far beyond my expectations..."

Thunderclouds are telling the truth.

Originally, his biggest wish was to get the opportunity to be published, so that his works could be heard by more people, but he never thought about how much money he would make from it, and he never thought about it at all.

The huge sum of 100,000 euros at the beginning almost stunned the thunderclouds, not to mention the current reach, and the more considerable long-term benefits in the future.

"Come on, the future is destined to belong to our Death Poetry Society!"

Looking at each other, Thundercloud remembered Kevin's words for a moment.

We want to build the Dead Poets Society into the largest and most influential top electronic music label!

He shook Kevin's hand vigorously with some excitement, and was about to say something, but was suddenly interrupted by an unexpected voice behind him.

"Wow, Kevin, why don't you buy my magic cat with me. ”

Thundercloud looked back and found that it was his favorite top 100 DJ, Magic M!

Once topped the list of the world's top 100 DJs, and now ranks second, known as one of the world's three giants of Trance, the owner of the Magic Cat electronic music label, the big demon king Magic M!!

It appeared in front of him so suddenly and without warning!

"Haha! Tony, you're kidding!"

Kevin wasn't embarrassed to hear those words from Magic M, but just walked up quickly and hugged each other warmly.

"Allow me to introduce, RayRay, this is Tony, his stage name you should know without me telling me. ”

Lei Yun nodded hurriedly, and stretched out a hand with some excitement.

This is the first time I have had close contact with my idol!

It was his Opus that inspired him to embark on this path, so Thundercloud always had a special feeling.

"Tony, this is... ”

Kevin was about to continue the introduction, but he didn't expect Tony to shake Thundercloud's hand directly and take the initiative to interrupt.

"He doesn't need to introduce it, that Five Hours is incredible! Kevin, you've really picked up a treasure!"

Obviously, Tony has learned about the results and sales of Five Hours, and as the owner of the label, he is also envious in his words.

You must know that from the current situation, this Five Hours alone, a total of ten years of omni-channel licensing, if it works well, can at least bring millions of euros of expected profits to the label!

This is a considerable amount of income for the current electronic music industry with a limited audience.

"That's nature, I've always seen better than you, old man!"

In Kevin's dictionary, there is never such a word for modesty.

"That's right. ”

Tony shook his head a little crying and laughing, but he had to admit this fact.

"Then I'll go first..."

As soon as Lei Yun saw this posture, he naturally knew that the bosses of the two labels wanted to talk about things, so of course he chose to avoid suspicion and go first.

"RayRay, can you wait for me outside, I have something I want to talk to you about. ”

Suddenly, Tony's words made the air freeze!
