"Stinky Tofu" has grown up and already looks like a big cat, but I still remember the smell of Cao Wu. As soon as Cao Wu entered the door, he meowed and ran over, climbed directly down his legs to his shoulders, and licked his earlobes affectionately.

"How old have you been?" Cao Wu said in surprise.

"I can already climb and jump!" Zhang Jiaqian came out of the kitchen with a kitchen knife and asked, "Did you bring back the book?"

Cao Wenhao pulled the box, carried the bag, changed his shoes at the door, and when he heard the words, he took out a book from the bag and handed it over: "Brought it, isn't it?"

Cao Wu looked down, and the book reads "Breaking the Firmament Volume 9".

Zhang Jiaqian stretched out her hand to pick it up, but she was still holding a knife in her hand, and she retracted it again, and said, "Oh! You take it to the bedroom first, don't you see me holding my hand?"

Cao Wenhao stuffed the book back into his bag and said helplessly: "Okay, good, I really can't figure it out, is it so good?"

"Of course! You don't understand. ”

Cao Wu hugged the cat and asked suspiciously, "Mom, why don't you read it on the Internet?"

"Online?" Zhang Jiaqian wondered, "Can I watch it online?"

"Of course, on the starting point website, the updates there are much faster than the physical books. Cao Wu smiled.

In this time and space, the physical books that were originally monopolized by piracy have also been replaced by genuine channels, except for some remote areas where there are still pirated copies, bookstores in most areas are legally operated, and all books sold are genuine.

It's heaven, hehe!

"Okay, then I'll go back and look on the Internet, so I don't have to wait for your dad to buy it for me. Zhang Jiaqian turned around and said, "Lao Cao, remember to take out all the dirty clothes in the box and put them in the bathroom! ”

Cao Wu changed into slippers and returned to the bedroom, a whale came out of the water and lay on the bed, moaning comfortably: "It's still good at home!"

"Stinky Tofu" snored, hugged Cao Wu's arm and bit gently.

Cao Wu teased it with one hand, thinking about what Niu Li said before leaving.

This album cost a lot of money, even if Yue Qianfan has calculated it according to the lowest price, and has a 20% discount, the recording fee for an hour will be 400 yuan.

They basically record more than 10 hours a day, 4,000 a day, a total of 42 days of recording, and the recording cost alone is nearly 170,000, not counting post-production, record design, and Yue Qianfan's producer fee.

If you add it all up, the production cost of this album has exceeded 200,000, and this is only the early stage.

The company's books are empty again.

Nowadays, the main sales of most records have become online channels, and digital albums have become the source of income for most music companies, but physical albums are still an important item that cannot be ignored.

The price of a digital album may range from 8-15 yuan, but a physical album is often priced at more than 30 yuan each.

Moreover, the significance of a physical album is not how much revenue it can bring, but how effectively it can distinguish a quality fan base.

The charging model of the entertainment industry is actually the concrete embodiment of the fan economy.

There aren't too many people who are willing to spend money on digital albums, and even fewer are willing to buy physical albums.

But the proportion of people who buy physical albums is much higher than those who buy digital albums.

Therefore, even in the age of the Internet, most music companies still have not given up on the production of traditional physical records, because that is an important source of data.

The release of physical albums needs to be produced in advance, and the income from digital albums cannot be obtained quickly, and there is also a publicity fee placed there, which cannot be ignored, Niu Li told Cao Wu that the band has to start taking over commercial performances this year to support the company.

She tentatively asked Cao Wu if he had the idea of taking a leave of absence to engage in a full-time band, and Cao Wu's attitude was very resolute.

It is impossible to take a leave of absence, and he even regrets a little that he should not have set foot in the music industry so early.

finally returned to his teenage years, but instead of enjoying his school time, he was busier than his previous life, and he felt that the gains outweighed the losses.

Moreover, it is certain that you will be able to go to university, even if you quit after two years? When the time comes, it can at least be said that this is a young band that is dissatisfied with the current educational environment, and they have a rebellious spirit in them.

Otherwise, the band saved by a few high school students may not be so easily accepted by mainstream public opinion!

In the final exam results of last semester, in addition to him, Lele, Batu and Qingsong all had small regressions to varying degrees, and Qi Huimin and Batu's mother had some opinions.

When Chinese New Year's Eve was eating, Qi Huimin also expressed her meaning at the dinner table, saying that she supported the children's dreams, but could not completely give up her studies.

Cao Wu also agreed, and he also expressed his stance at the dinner table, saying that he would study with the band members this semester.

If this semester just starts, they are busy running commercial performances and music festivals, then wouldn't he be talking about anything?

However, he couldn't watch Niu Li suffer alone, there are so many people in the company, and it is a problem to pay wages every month, and now it is all supported by Niu Li alone, and it is not easy for her.

How to solve this problem is not an easy task.

School started, Cao Wu returned to school, and he felt very comfortable.

The atmosphere of the Chinese New Year has not yet dissipated, and many students have brought delicious food to the school to share with friends.

However, a sudden test made most of the students fall into the ice cave.

During a winter vacation carnival, many students didn't even turn over the books, and they were dumbfounded when the scrolls came out.

After the exam, Ma Guanghua was furious, saying that the average score in the class was 20 points lower than the final exam, which made everyone take their hearts back.

He also named Batu's name, and this time Batu failed the exam, and the total score dropped by more than 50 points.

"Batu didn't do well in the exam this time, did he spend all his time playing in the band? It's good! Well, you can't study!"

"Batu, people! The last time I was at the music festival, I earned a year's salary, can you compare? Can't compare, can't even compare with me, you still don't study hard?"

"Besides, even if people don't play music and don't go to school, there is still a pasture in their hometown! ”

……

Batu blushed and buried his head so low that he couldn't see his expression.

Cao Wu couldn't stand it anymore, raised his hand and said, "Teacher, Batu just failed the exam this time, and he will make up for it this semester, so there's no need to be so cynical, right?"

"Am I sneering?" Ma Guanghua's smile disappeared for a moment, and then he smiled and said, "Who am I talking about, the big star of our class?

"I'm just talking about things. ”

"Okay, since it's a matter of facts, then as the captain of your band, shouldn't you lead the band to learn and make progress together?
