From knowing that Michael Ovitz made a ban to the popularity of the soundtrack of "Stealing Love" in North America, Nancy has been riding a roller coaster these days, low and high, allowing her to truly experience what thrilling and exciting is and what is desperate life.

"John, how did you get those companies to release promotional soundtracks for you?"

Nancy looked at John in surprise at Crown Studios, she never thought that the young director in front of her, whom she had always looked down on, would one day impress her.

Watching the crazy actions of those people on TV every day, and the songs that dominate the charts in the soundtrack, also made her very interested in John, and at the moment she stumbled upon a treasure map like an explorer and wanted to find out.

"It's just a small thing! it's not a big deal. John didn't want to dwell too much on this issue, so he replied lightly, picked up the crystal mountain coffee in front of him and looked at Nancy: "Try the coffee I just got." ”

This coffee comes from the Crystal Mountains of Cuba, because the mountains are located adjacent to the Blue Mountains of Jamaica, the climatic conditions are similar, and the coffee taste produced is completely comparable to that of the Blue Mountains coffee, so the Crystal Mountains are also known as the "Blue Mountains of Cuba".

"Nice. What kind of coffee is this?" Nancy saw that John didn't want to talk, so she took a sip of her coffee with interest.

"Crystal Mountain Coffee in Cuba. John replied.

"Don't you usually drink the Blue Mountains?" Nancy said, gently placing the coffee cup on the table.

"Change the taste!" John looked at the coffee in the cup and said: "Crystal Mountain Coffee is no worse than Blue Mountain, if Italian coffee is a knight, Blue Mountain is an emperor, then Crystal Mountain Coffee is a noble and elegant princess......"

Speaking of "princess" John, a figure flashed in his mind, Audrey Hepburn, who played the princess of a European principality in "Roman Holiday", an angel who came to earth.

"Noble and elegant!" Nancy listened to John's words, and unconsciously took another sip of her coffee cup. "The extremely silky feeling and the lightly fruity aroma always make people feel good. "John, that's how you got such a great coffee from Cuba?"

"Hmm......" John paused when he heard Nancy's words, and it was not easy to answer the question.

Just as John was slurping, Dani walked in, "Boos! ”

"Oh! "Oh, read it......," John thought Dani was his savior. Always available at the moment of truth.

And Nancy was also diverted by Dinny's words, and she is now more concerned about the sales of the soundtrack, because there are also interests that belong to her. People are always like this, when it comes to their own interests, everything else is not important.

"The total sales of the soundtrack in North America for half a month was 6.12 million copies. After Dani finished speaking, she looked at John with a smile and said, "Congratulations to your boss, the soundtrack is a big hit." ”

John can make a profit of $3 per soundtrack record, and the 6.12 million soundtracks bring him a whopping $18 million, and that number is constantly increasing.

Nancy on the side gasped when she heard Dani's words, she knew that the soundtrack song of "Stealing Love" was very popular, and it was sung on the streets and alleys while dominating the major music charts, but she never expected that it would sell 6.12 million copies in 15 days.

6.12 million records in 15 days, which is equivalent to selling more than 400,000 copies a day, what is this concept. And the movie hasn't been released yet, the soundtrack hasn't been released worldwide, and the 6.12 million records are only 15 days of sales in North America.

Nancy thought that if the movie was released and the soundtrack was released worldwide, the sales would definitely easily exceed 10 million.

The soundtrack with sales of more than 10 million is unique in the history of world film, and it can be said that there is no one before, as for whether there is a comer behind and how long it will take for someone to come, Nancy is not sure.

If Nancy is a reborn like John, then she knows that in the not long ago 1993 and 1997, the soundtracks of the two movies "Bodyguard" and "Titanic" also exceeded 10 million, so John's "Stealing Love" will not be lonely for too long.

When she thought of the original soundtrack breaking 10 million, Nancy felt like a dream, looking at John who was tall and thin, with an angular face on his fair face, she never dared to believe that the rookie director in front of her had actually set a record and left a strong mark in the history of American film and music at the age of 20.

Compared to Nancy's shock, John was much more flat, because he had expected this result, so it was not too much of a surprise.

Although there are only 5 songs on the soundtrack of "Stealing Love", which of the five songs in it has not appeared on the US Billboard chart, and which one is not a classic song.

With classic music and the help of RCA's top production team, it's fair to say that the quality of this soundtrack is among the best in pop music.

Coupled with his frenzied release, if this soundtrack is not popular, then simply go to the vegetable market to buy a piece of tofu and die.

And the most important thing is that these soundtracks are all sent, and people only need to spend money to charge the phone bill or shop to a certain price to get one for free, so can the sales not be much?

Take AT&T as an example, it has more than 30,000 stores in North America, and even if a store gives away 10 movie soundtracks a day, it will give away 300,000 copies a day, plus the chain bookstores and record stores in the traditional record sales channels of Walmart, Penny, KFC, Pizza Hut, Starbucks, General Motors and RCA...... Wait, it's no wonder that there are no more than 400,000 tickets a day.

It should be noted that AT&T is a company that gives movie soundtracks to customers as gifts, but they pay John to buy these movie soundtracks from RCA Records. John wouldn't pay for making records and then give them to these companies to make profits, so he wouldn't do this kind of loss-making business.

On the surface, these companies are losing money by buying movie soundtracks from John and then giving them away as giveaways, but they don't actually lose money, and on the contrary, these participating companies make much more money than John.

One is that they stimulate consumption through giveaways and reduce the inventory in the store.

The second is that they have increased their cash flow.

The third is that they can use the money to invest in other places and get more benefits for the company.

Fourth, it increases customer loyalty.

So a little piece of soundtrack not only brought John a huge income, but also brought great benefits to the participating companies.
