Chapter 274: Album (Four More Subscriptions)

Generally speaking, there are many ways for singers to make their official debut, including participating in various talent shows, or career transformation, and then becoming an Internet celebrity and then signing with major companies. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

In the end, it's nothing more than releasing records and albums.

But the current market, the physical record industry, because of the rampant piracy in the Internet era, can be said to be dead. Now that physical records are released, most of them are losing money, unless they are king-level singers, otherwise, it is a problem to recover the cost.

For example, Jay Chou, Tianwang Zhou is not afraid that physical records will not be sold, but considers how many platinums to sell.

But not everyone has Jay Chou's strength and popularity. As a result, more and more record companies have set their sights on the Internet and begun to take the route of digital albums.

For example, it's Jay Chou.

Jay Chou's new album "Jay Chou's Bedside Story" is priced at 20 yuan a piece, but as of the end of August, more than 2 million copies of the digital album alone have been sold online, with a total sales of more than 40 million, which can be said to be a lot of money.

Similarly, stars such as Lin Junjie, Li Yuchun, and Lu Han have also started to release their digital albums online, and they have also achieved good sales. There are still quite a few people with total sales of more than one million.

Of course, whether there is water or not, let's not talk about this for the time being.

This phenomenon is called the "fan economy" by many people. Stars with a large number of fans, in today's declining physical record, began to take advantage of the Internet and continue to charge in the music industry. It also shows that in addition to concerts, the Internet can also become a big money-absorbing weapon.

Therefore, Chen Zhengqian thought of this method and took the route of digital albums.

If he officially debuts, he will definitely release a record, and he prefers to be based on digital records.

After all, from the beginning, the Throne of Light and Shadow was to take the online route, and all covers or original works, whether they were videos or mp3s, were uploaded to the Internet for everyone to click and play.

Because of this, he can quickly gather a large number of popularity and become top Internet celebrities. I don't know how many celebrities who claim to be orthodox academics, on the surface, they don't care, but in fact, they don't know how envious and jealous they are.

With so many video sites and music players, adding up to tens of millions of fans, even if only one percent of them are willing to spend a few dollars to buy their digital albums, then it is easy to exceed one million efficiency!

That's the powerful benefit effect of a large number of followers.

This does not include Chen Zhengqian's personal influence, if he releases a solo album, it is estimated that the sales will not lose to any first-class singer!

There's no way, that's how it's struck!

Don't say anything about the current Chinese music scene, this group of fans is not good or something. If you want to sell well, okay, come up with good works, otherwise you can fool fans with some shoddy goods, then it's better to get out of here as soon as possible!

In fact, the fans on the Internet are quite enthusiastic, and as long as the quality of the work is passed, they will support it. In addition to most of the passers-by, there are still a lot of die-hard fans of the Throne of Light and Shadow.

When the price is lower, it will still be able to sell a lot. After all, the state is also vigorously cracking down on piracy, advocating support for genuine copyrights, and only by supporting genuine copyrights and letting genuine owners see the benefits and see the gains, will they create better works.

Otherwise, everyone will go to find a free one, pirates will make a lot of money, and the real original creators are still eating dirt, so who would want to engage in originality?

Whether it's a novel, a comic, an anime, or a music, or a movie, it's the same thing.

As for the physical record, it still has to be released, but it may be a little less engraved, and the price is also cheaper, as a benefit for fans.

Perhaps, that's all I have for an album.

Of course, the higher the record score, the better, not only to earn money, but also to earn fame. Chen Zhengqian couldn't wait to sell him 10 million copies, and then directly certified a diamond record himself, and then he retired. But just think about it, let's make relevant preparations first.

Do what you think!

So Chen Zhengqian said to Xiao Yueqing: "I have already decided on the matter of the band, now I will tell you, you record it, and go back to find someone to get it." ”

Xiao Yueqing hurriedly took out a pen and spread out the folder in front of her.

Chen Zhengqian sorted out his thoughts and said: "First of all, the band is definitely going to officially debut, in the form of an album. Personally, I tend to release digital albums, after all, we have nothing to do with physical albums, but digital albums can also attract some contacts in front of them. So the first album was dominated by digital albums. ”

Xiao Yueqing quickly wrote, recording the main points of every sentence he said.

Chen Zhengqian looked at the text she recorded and continued: "The second, if you want to release an album, you must have a song. Previously, the band took the cover route, and there was only one original song, which was far from enough. An album must have at least ten songs, and I recommend twelve, after all, it is a newcomer, so fans will also find it a little more cost-effective. ”

He stared at Xiao Yueqing's face and said seriously, "So, you have to find someone to write a few more songs for me." The price is not a problem, as long as the quality is good. Remember, we only make the finest!"

Only high-quality products can attract fans who are willing to spend money, otherwise inferior works will only lose their character. He's not a casual person.

At this time, he suddenly remembered something: "Didn't NetEase Games come to us before, saying that they wanted me to be the spokesperson of their game, and that they would sing the theme song?

If it weren't for today's meeting, I guess I would have really forgotten about it, and when I remembered it, I would ask by the way.

"It's Overwatch!"

Xiao Yueqing said: "I have already conveyed your words, at first they disagreed, because they felt that our price was too high. But then they came up with a compromise solution. ”

Chen Zhengqian was curious and asked, "What plan?"

Xiao Yueqing replied: "The plan they proposed is to add the copyright of that song to 12 million for five years." In addition, we will be paid a fee based on the number of plays and downloads of the theme song on the Internet. ”

There is still a gap between such conditions and those proposed by Chen Zhengqian, but at least the sincerity is displayed. And it's interesting to pay a separate fee based on the number of plays and downloads.

Chen Zhengqian smiled: "I didn't expect Pork Lei to be willing to cut his own meat this time." ”

Netease CEO Ding Sanshi said that he sells pork.

But this condition is not bad, Chen Zhengqian thought about it, and agreed, saying: "Okay, you reply to them, just say that I agreed!

Xiao Yueqing breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, and hurriedly said, "Okay, Mr. Chen!"

She also thinks Chen Zhengqian will refuse.

Chen Zhengqian only remembered at this time that he hadn't asked what the name of the song was: "By the way, what's the name of that song, let's go back and include it in the new album!"

In this way, you can save an original song, haha, you are so witty!

"It's called Overwatch!" Xiao Yueqing said, showing a faint smile. (To be continued.) )
