Lin Zaishan said: "It's best to extend!" After recording for more than a month, no one's body can bear it, and if you can postpone your rest for a week, it will be good for everyone. ”

Guan Yaling also said: "If next week's competition is postponed, it will be recorded continuously after the Spring Festival until the finals in early March. According to the original plan, after the 6-in-5 game, everyone had to rest for a week and prepare for the finals. But now that I've postponed it by a week, I've moved the week before the finals, and I won't be able to rest at that time. The time and venue of the finals have been set and cannot be changed. ”

"That's ......"

Lin Zaishan thought for a while and said, "No problem." It's better to take a week off now than a week later. ”

"Then you ask your assistant to help you look at the schedule, you don't have any other work schedules during that time, right?"

"There shouldn't be any arrangement, I'm more idle after the Spring Festival, mainly to prepare a new album. I'll ask Mengmeng to check it for me and give you an accurate answer. ”

Lin Zaishan stressed again: "I personally strongly agree with the postponement of the recording next week, the English special is not easy to prepare, and the things made in one week will be very hasty, if there are two weeks, the effect will be much better." ”

"What's the matter, Xiao Xuan's side is not doing well?"

"Not only is she not doing well, but my side is not doing well. It's too tiring to record continuously during this time, and we need to give us players time to catch our breath. I have to prepare so many songs every week, even the gods can't bear it! ”

"Hehe, okay, then I'll talk to Dongfang TV and fight for an extension. I have a lot of time, and you can help my cousin prepare for the concert. ”

Guan Yaling said with great concern: "What song you two sing hasn't been decided yet, right?" If you have time, write a duet for yourself, just write your story, so that you can feel like singing, I want to hear you sing your story! Hey. ”

"Don't follow the mess, it's up to their company to arrange it. I heard from Hyo-ni that their team seemed to suggest that we both sing a song from her album. I'm really going to have to spend time practicing. It would be great if our recordings could be postponed. I'll have plenty of time to prepare. ”

"Hmm."

"Anything else? If you don't have me, you'll go to dinner. "After getting the news that there may be a delay, Lin Zaishan is in a good mood! The appetite also went up, and finally I was less nervous.

"There's another thing, I don't know if you've heard of it."

"What's the matter? Did the record sales of "Birch Forest" come out last week? Lin Zaishan listened to Guan Yaling's tone and thought that Guan Yaling was talking about records.

His single album "White Birch Forest" was officially released on January 16.

Wu Yifan told him before that the sales of rap records were quite hot, and they sold 20,000 copies in only 5 days in the first week! This is the hottest album they have released in the past two years.

With such a best-selling result, Lin Zaishan has quite high expectations for "Birch Forest". Originally, he didn't think that this record could make any money, after all, it was a single album, and he only earned 1 yuan 5 when he sold 1 album.

But the sales of 20,000 records in the first five days surprised Lin Zaishan quite much, and if he wants to continue to develop according to this trend, his single album is guaranteed to sell 2 or 300,000 copies!

Generally, singers release albums, including singles, and it is very good to sell thousands of copies in the first week.

According to the market here, the sales volume in the first week is usually multiplied by 10. That's the annual sales of this album. Of course, if a larger scale of publicity is done in the later stage, the annual sales will be higher. But in general, the sales volume of the first 7 days multiplied by 10 is the annual sales.

And the annual sales are almost the total sales of an album. A year later. If there is stock in the record store, some more will be sold one after another, but the amount will be small.

"White Birch Forest" sold 20,000 copies in the first 5 days, conservative counting. This single album is sure to sell more than 250,000 copies!

According to Wu Yifan, Caidie has not released a single album with 250,000 sales for three years.

The entire Chinese music scene, in the past three years. There are only a handful of "single albums" that have sold more than 200,000 copies, which shows how hot Lin Zaishan's "White Birch Forest" is.

Lin Zaishan's "Birch Forest" will definitely set a small record for Caidie, which also greatly increases their determination to vigorously release the "Singer-Songwriter" album for Lin Zaishan.

Although the release of "White Birch Forest" is very hot, Lin Zaishan knows that the reason why this album can sell well is directly related to Windsortha's sand painting winning the championship.

There are many fans who buy this album collection, but they actually come to Windsorsa, not because of Lin Zaishan's popularity.

Under the operation of Liu Jingjing's team, the single album of "Hill" was only released one day later than "White Birch Forest", with the help of the distribution channel of Caidie, the distribution volume of "Hills" in the country is not small, but the sales of "Hills" are much worse than "White Birch Forest", which is the best proof.

The sales of the second week have not yet come out, and the sales of "The Hills" are only more than 3,000 copies for only four days in the first week, which exceeds the goal set by Lin Zaishan for Liu Jingjing's team, but it is far less surprising than "White Birch Forest".

The reason is, first, the publicity of "The Hills" is not as big as "White Birch Forest", "White Birch Forest" does not need more publicity and distribution of colorful butterflies, and all TV stations are showing the winning image of the sand painting of "White Birch Forest", which is the biggest publicity for "White Birch Forest", and "Hills" does not have such a scale of publicity;

Secondly, "White Birch Forest" has the help of Wen Shasha, the sand painting champion who has shined in the country, and "The Hills" has no blessing from others, only relying on Lin Zaishan's own popularity. And Lin Zaishan's current high popularity has not yet reflected in the market. Not many people really know that he released the "Hills" single album, only the die-hard fans on the Beyond forum know, and most of the other fans don't know. Almost all of the people who buy the "Hill" album at the record store are fans of the Beyond forum. If "The Hill" is promoted on a large scale and let more people know, sales will definitely increase.

But the cost of large-scale propaganda is really not low, and if you do the math, you may not be able to earn it back at all.

For a single album like this, which is very low-margin, the record company generally does not do large-scale promotion.

Nowadays, record companies don't like to release singles to artists, which really doesn't make sense - it doesn't make money, and it can't help singers accumulate popularity, so it's not a good deal.

If it weren't for the fact that "Birch Forest" won the sand painting championship, Caidie would not have helped Lin Zaishan release this single album.

But looking at the hot release situation of "White Birch Forest", there should be an opportunity to make a small amount of money. It's definitely no problem to earn hundreds of thousands, Caidie and Beyond can make money, it's a win-win situation.

Guan Yaling wanted to talk to Lin Zaishan about "White Birch Forest", but Lin Zaishan mentioned it, and she picked up the conversation: "The sales of "White Birch Forest" last week (the second week) have not been completely counted, and it is estimated that it will come out this afternoon, I heard Boss Wu say, the rough statistics are more than 20,000 copies, and the results are gratifying!" Brother-in-law, the sales of your single album. That's more than all the albums we sold on the market last week combined! ”

Lin Zaishan was slightly stunned: "Your Caidie's record sales are so low? All the records together can't sell 20,000 copies a week? ”

"Our company hasn't released a new album this year, and the albums on the market are all from last year. The first one pushed this year is your "Birch Forest". After the Spring Festival, the company will release two more new albums. Your "Singer-Songwriter" album will be the most important album in March, and it will also be the most important album promoted by the company in the first half of the year and even the whole year. ”

"Well, thank you, Boss Wu."

"It's because we owe you thanks. Brother-in-law, looking at the sales situation of your "White Birch Forest", your "Singer-Songwriter" album will definitely sell out! It is possible to create the history of colorful butterflies! ”

"I'm curious, how many of your company's highest-selling records have sold?"

"The brand of Butterfly was only established in 03. At that time, the record sales of the entire Chinese music scene were already very low. But it was also much stronger than it is now. When Butterfly was first established. Several albums have sold more than 800,000 copies. The tallest one, hehe, no, is your sister-in-law's original album "Sky" that I released in 2003 - sold 950,000 copies. This is also so far. The highest sales of a single album of Butterfly Records. ”

"Okay, you! 950,000 copies! ”

Lin Zaishan's first reaction was that Guan Yaling had made a fortune!

With 950,000 record sales, even if it is a royalty of 5 yuan, Guan Yaling can still earn 5 million!

It would be nice if his "Singer-Songwriter" album could sell so much.

His "Singer-Songwriter" album has a minimum royalty of 10 yuan, and it must be able to sell 1 million copies. Their company will have plenty of money.

It's a pity that the current market can't be compared with 03, and today's record market is compared with 03. At least 90% of the contraction. At that time, 1 million copies were sold, and now they will sell up to 100,000 copies.

Guan Yaling said humbly: "What are you doing, I can't compare with you, and my cousin, my cousin's albums sold millions of copies that year, and the highest one sold 2.3 million copies!" Brother-in-law, you are even more ruthless, "Wheat Field" directly sold 5 million copies, which is a mythical sales! ”

"Haha, don't mention it back then, now I can sell 500,000 copies, thank God."

"Well, in this market now, a record that can sell 500,000 copies is definitely in the top ten of the annual sales list of the entire music industry. However, I am still very optimistic about your "Singer-Songwriter" album, if it sells out, it is guaranteed to sell more than 300,000 copies. In the past three years, Caidie has not released more than 300,000 sales of records. Your "White Birch Forest" is likely to break this record, and your "Singer-Songwriter" is likely to go to the next level, and it is not a dream to hit 500,000 sales! ”

"I hope so. Okay, I won't tell you, I went to dinner, I was in such a good mood, my stomach was calling. ”

"Wait, don't hang up! Why don't you want to talk to me? Guan Yaling complained unhappily to Lin Zaishan.

"Hehe, we're all busy, how can we have time to chat blindly? If you want to find someone to talk to, hurry up and find a boyfriend, so that someone can talk to you every day. ”

"Hey, brother-in-law, don't you always talk about this like my sister? I'll look for it when it's time to look for it, so you don't have to worry about it! Also, I'm not talking to you, I have something serious to tell you, and you just broke up, and I haven't had time to talk about it yet. ”

"What's the matter?"

"This morning, a toothpaste manufacturer contacted us and asked about Tang Yaxuan's situation, they thought Tang Yaxuan was an artist of Caidie, and wanted to ask Tang Yaxuan to endorse their toothpaste."

"Huh? That's a good thing! Lin Zaishan said: "You ask the toothpaste manufacturer to contact our company, and the people from our company's advertising department will talk to them." ”

"Our company's marketing department has asked the manufacturer to contact your company, Liu Mengmeng should know about this, and she is responsible for docking. Didn't she tell you yet? ”

"Not yet, I've been preparing for a game with Don Jr. all morning, and she probably didn't tell me for fear of disturbing me. Is this reliable? ”

Lin Zaishan is very concerned about this. Now there are a lot of messy manufacturers in the market who are deceiving artists to accept advertisements, and if this toothpaste manufacturer is also such a manufacturer, it will be boring.

"It should be pretty reliable, [Meiya] have you heard of it, right? This is our large-scale consumer goods manufacturer in Minzhou, and their toothpaste can at least rank in the top 5 in the toothpaste industry. ”

"Milia - a big brand! The pigeons brush their teeth with this brand of toothpaste! It would be great if it were really Miria! I won't talk to you yet, I'll go and ask Liu Meng. If this is really done, I will invite you to dinner! Brushed up. ”

No longer chatting with Guan Yaling, Lin Zaishan hurriedly hung up Guan Yaling's phone when Guan Yaling complained heavily, and returned to the piano room to find Liu Mengmeng to learn about the progress of Meiya's side.

Now their company's money is very tight, and the company is going to hold an annual meeting this weekend, Lin Zaishan gritted his teeth and wanted to take out 500,000 yuan from the company's treasury to reward Liu Mengmeng and their colleagues who joined the company in the most difficult and promising entrepreneurial period.

As of today, in the past month and a half, he has sung a total of 46 end teeth, and has earned a net performance fee of 3 million.

But most of this money fills the big hole in the company's rapid development.

The 400,000 won by Windsor Sha was also filled.

There are also some other small jobs that the company has received, and there is a total income of about 100,000 yuan, and all of them are filled in.

At present, Beyond's daily expenses are quite huge, and every month, the salary bonus of employees plus the development and maintenance expenses of the forum alone will exceed 1 million!

February 7th is the Spring Festival, and before the Spring Festival, Lin Zaishan still has 8 endings to sing, and he can probably earn 500,000 yuan. After the Spring Festival, he will have no tail teeth to sing, and their company's biggest source of income will be broken.

At present, their company's liquid assets are only 1.5 million, which is only enough to maintain more than a month's expenses, and they can't support Lin Zaishan to participate in "Extreme World".

They now urgently need to expand their channels of earning. If Tang Yaxuan can receive Meiya's advertising endorsement, it will quench his thirst! (To be continued.) )
