Lu Xi, Chen Xin, Li Feiyu, Chen Xiang and Li Mubai.

Lu Chen's bright gaze slowly swept over the faces of everyone present.

Some of them are Lu Chen's relatives, some are friends, some are former colleagues, and some are original fans.

By chance, everyone sat here together and formed a small team.

No matter what occupation or work they did before, everyone is now a little newcomer who has broken into the entertainment industry, lacking enough experience and strength, and is full of confusion about the future.

What makes Lu Chen confident is the unity of this team!

The current studio is like a seedling that has just sprouted, and it is still very fragile, but the rhizomes that support the young leaves are flexible and full of vitality, even in the face of the crushing of boulders and the baptism of storms, there is still the strength to persevere.

He was fearless.

"Actually, people are thinking too seriously about the problem. ”

Lu Chen said with a smile: "We don't need to beat anyone, as long as this album is on the shelves, it will be a success, and we don't need to go through the trouble of competing with others for the sales chart, the key is whether we can recover the cost." ”

"Our costs are very low. ”

The low production cost of the album "You at the Table" is beyond the imagination of most people in the industry.

Generally speaking, the production cost of a complete album of qualified or even excellent quality is between hundreds of thousands and millions, and it is normal to exceed one million, and if you add the publicity expenses, there are three or four million.

And the entire production cost of "You at the Same Table" is only 100,000!

All 10 songs were written by Lu Chen himself, and he didn't need to spend 1 cent to buy songs from others, which saved at least hundreds of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of dollars in costs in the first place.

For songwriters with a good reputation, it is normal for a song to cost tens of thousands.

Secondly, in terms of arrangement, accompaniment and recording, Lu Chen did not choose a first-class production unit in the industry. For example, a large company like the Ethereal Workshop is placed in the little-known Nirvana Studio.

That's another hundreds of thousands!

According to Lin Zhijie, music director of Feishi Records, the real value of the album produced by Nirvana Studio for Lu Chen should be between 20 and 300,000 yuan, and he picked up a big bargain.

The production cost of 100,000 yuan is only equivalent to the price of an ordinary advertising space on Feixun Music Network for 10 days!

Plus this advertising fee. The cost in addition to labor is 200,000!

According to the contract signed between Lu Chen Studio and Feixun Music, "You at the Same Table" only sells albums and does not split singles, and the price of ordinary members is 10 yuan per piece, and VIP members are discounted by 20%.

Lu Chen's studio and Feixun Music's share is 50%, and both sides account for half.

Even if it is all according to the VIP price, as long as 50,000 tickets are sold, the cost can be recovered, and the excess is the net profit.

Such a profit margin is something that Cui Zhengzhi, Zou Bei or Ling Xiaoxiao can't catch up with.

They spend tens of millions on advertising for the album, plus production costs. You have to sell at least four or five hundred thousand copies to protect your capital, which is a sales performance that is completely unachievable unless you cheat.

Of course, whether it is Cui Zhengzhi, or Zou Bei and Ling Xiaoxiao, the company they signed with cannot think of recovering the cost by selling albums online, mainly through the artist's commercial performances, advertising, peripherals, etc.

Therefore, the goals of both sides are different from the beginning.

Lu Chen's requirements are not high, and the cost of recovering is very satisfied, as long as the reputation of the album is out. The coffee position and forced style in the circle have improved, and there are opportunities to make money later.

So Lu Chen didn't need to fight with them. They will not desperately throw money at bets.

"We just have to do our own thing!"

Lu Chen said to everyone: "He is strong, what does it have to do with Cui Zhengzhi's release on the same day? Our goal is 50,000 sales, and if we reach 50,000, we will win!"

"50,000 Little Meanings"

Li Mubai said disapprehantly: "There are more than 50,000 members of Lu Jiajun, there are more than one million fans in the live broadcast room, and there are still 5 million on the Inspur blog!"

Lu Chen smiled and shook his head, except for Lu Jiajun's hardcore fans. It is completely unknown how many fans of the live broadcast room and the Inspur blog can be converted into paying users, especially the water of blog fans is huge.

The number of followers of his wave blog is more than 5 million, which meets the basic requirements of big V, but passers-by account for most of them, and many of them were attracted in the last two blog battles. Not really a fan.

It would be naïve to expect these passers-by to pay for songs.

Of course, with the support of Lu Jiajun's die-hard fans, there should be no problem with the sales of 50,000.

Compared with the online sales of Feixun Music, Lu Chen actually pays more attention to record albums, which is really compelling!

Drip!

At this time, Lu Xi's mobile phone resting on the desk suddenly rang.

She picked it up and checked it, then turned on her computer: "Xiaomei said that there is news for us to see." ”

Xiaomei's sister Chen Xiaomei works as a receptionist at Lu Chen's studio, and in her spare time, she also helps Lu Xi search and browse news on the Internet, especially gossip news and insider revelations in the entertainment industry.

She has now sent a video link to Lu Xi's Feixun.

"Choi Jung-ji's"

Lu Xi clicked on the link and turned the computer screen to show it to everyone.

The source of the video is the Inspur Entertainment Channel, and the content is an exclusive interview with Cui Zhengzhi conducted by a Inspur reporter.

Inspur is one of the largest portals in China, with two advantageous resources, Inspur blog and Inspur games, so Inspur's entertainment channel has a great influence in the entertainment industry.

But it is not easy to get an exclusive interview with Inspur.com, unless there is real material, it must be paid for, and it is also an important part of the publicity and hype.

On the 27-inch high-definition screen, Cui Zhengzhi is talking to the microphone of an entertainment reporter.

Inspur Entertainment asked, "Mr. Cui Zhengzhi, I heard that your first solo album is about to be released, right?"

Cui Zhengzhi said with a smile: "Yes, it will be released on Feixun Music on the 8th of this month, and everyone is welcome to subscribe and buy." ”

Cui Zhengzhi is 20 years old this year, 2 years younger than Lu Chen, he first worked as a trainee in South Korea's KG brokerage company for 3 years, and then returned to China to make his official debut.

Last year, he participated in Shonan Satellite TV's "Super Boy" audition for the first time, Cui Zhengzhi won the runner-up title, he can sing and dance and has a strong Korean star temperament, so he is loved by many boys and girls.

Inspur Entertainment: "So what is the style of your album?"

Cui Zhengzhi replied without thinking: "Passion, enthusiasm, can make everyone's heart beat faster, four of the ten songs are written by myself, I believe it will not disappoint everyone!"

Inspur Entertainment said with a smile: "Everyone says that you are a very talented singer-songwriter, as far as I know, Lu Chen, the champion of this year's singing China, will also release the album on the same day, at the same time on Feixun Music, are you under pressure?"

Hearing this Wave Entertainment Record's obviously provocative question, everyone finally understood why Sister Xiaomei sent this interview video to Lu Xi to see.

"No pressure!"

Cui Zhengzhi smiled confidently: "Lu Chen is a very strong singer-songwriter, but I am stronger than him, and my album is even better, so the winner must be me!"

"He's crazy!"

Chen Xin couldn't help but say, "I don't take Brother Chen in my eyes." ”

Li Mubai clenched his fists: "This guy"

Choi Jung-ji is really crazy, and he is not generally confident, as if his personality is like this.

But in the eyes of fans, Cui Zhengzhi is sincere and not hypocritical, and what he says is not hypocritical.

But if you really think that he doesn't have scheming and stupid, then you are very wrong!

This new artist who has returned from South Korea knows how to read the pot and cook, and he still behaves modestly when he should be modest.

As for Lu Chen, he was obviously not the object of his modesty.

Inspur Entertainment obviously likes this topic very much, and asked further: "Why are you so sure, the evaluation of several songs in Lu Chen's album is still very good." ”

Cui Zhengzhi nodded and said: "The songs he wrote are good, but they are really outdated, and they belong to the nostalgic style of the eighties and nineties, and I know what songs young people like me really like!"

"it!"

Li Feiyu's lungs were about to explode when he heard this: "It's so shameless!"

said that it was good, but in fact, he stepped on Lu Chen directly to the soles of his feet, and anyone could hear the ridicule in his words.

You said that it is nothing to say this to others in private, but there is no one in the public interview, not to mention Li Feiyu and Li Mubai and others, even Lu Chen frowned.

The clay figurines are still three points of fire!

has been stepped on by others, if he is still indifferent, what kind of manly man can he be?

Lu Chen is not a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle!

Chen Xiang said angrily: "I used to like him a lot, but now I know that he hates him so much!"

Lu Xi had a calm face: "He is deliberately hyping up the topic." ”

After a period of study and research, my sister has a basic understanding of various hype tricks in the entertainment industry, and she can see at a glance what Cui Zhengzhi and Inspur Entertainment are singing.

This kind of hype can be regarded as very careful to control.

But it can't stand it either!

The key is that Cui Zhengzhi is not afraid of being said, he is completely sure that he can surpass Lu Chen in sales.

If so many propaganda advertisements are smashed, they can also kill Lu Chen.

The winner is not condemned, and the fans will only praise!

Lu Chen suddenly smiled and said, "It really doesn't work if you don't look serious, sister, then we will also spend some money to hype it on the Internet, no, it's propaganda!"

Originally, Lu Chen didn't want to spend too much money on the promotion of this album, but now his mind has changed.

Lu Xi's eyes suddenly lit up: "Do you have any good ideas?"

Lu Chen said: "Let me think about it first"

His eyes were staring at Cui Zhengzhi, who was radiant on the screen, and there was a little coldness in his eyes.

Since you want to fight, let's have a good time!――
