As soon as Ye Yu's words came out, Ye Yao and Su Xiaomo were dumbfounded.

A single album can earn more than 10 billion Huaxia coins, which really scared them.

You must know that Ye Yuke is not only a singer under Yuye Company, he is also the major shareholder of Yuye Company, it can be said that most of the 10 billion Huaxia coins are his.

Seeing this, Ye Yu shook his head with a smile.

In its previous life, the "Thriller" album sold 104 million copies worldwide as of 2006, generating $4.1 billion in profits for the record industry.

However, the single album of "Billie-Jean" has only one song after all, and it is already very good to be able to create a profit of more than 10 billion Chinese coins.

This is not only because the world, especially Huaxia, which is Ye Yu's main battlefield, has a higher degree of intellectual property protection than in the previous life, but also because there is a dance video in this single album, after all, in the previous life, the dance of "Billie-Jean" appeared later than the "Thriller" album.

But the more than 10 billion Huaxia coins are just record revenue.

The value created by Billie-Jean doesn't stop there.

A dance music, a dance, creates a value of more than 10 billion Chinese coins.

This is the value of classic works, and no one can underestimate it.

Just to use an analogy -

In his previous life, J.K. Rowling's personal assets exceeded $1 billion, but Harry? Porter's entire industrial chain is valued at hundreds of billions of dollars.

The lion's share of the profits was taken by the merchants.

In this world, Yuye Company only needs to hold on to the copyright, from movies, DVDs, videotapes, toys, stationery, games, clothing, and even theme parks, etc., to develop the copyright of the work in an all-round way, plus the genuine awareness that the world is better than the previous life. Just a Harry? Potter, it's going to make a lot of money.

"It's a dance music with a dance video, so it's cheaper." Seeing that the two girls were too shocked, Ye Yu said, "If it's like a simple song, it's not so easy to sell." A lot of people just download it directly from the 'World' website. The advent of the Internet age is an important reason for the sluggishness of the record industry. ”

Heard Ye Yu speak. Ye Yao and Su Xiaomo came back to their senses and were speechless.

Ye Yu said: "With my current popularity, if I release a general album, the sales are estimated to be one or two million, and this is because my songs are classic enough, plus there are many foreign fans." It's not as good as a dance music with a dance video like "Billie-Jean", which is expected to be half a year later, that is, at the end of the year. The single album of "Billie-Jean" will sell 30 million people. Of course, the song "Billie-Jean" is not your average classic in itself. ”

"I know that with the rise of streaming, the record industry has taken a big hit." Ye Yao thought for a while and asked, "Then what if I release an album?" ”

"Xiao Yao, you......" Ye Yu estimated and said, "I can probably sell about two million copies." ”

"It's a lot worse than you, brother......" Ye Yao was a little frustrated.

Ye Yu smiled. "Because my fans are not limited to Huaxia. Although our copyright awareness in China is okay, it is still not comparable with developed countries such as the United Kingdom and island countries. The rise of streaming has hit the record industry. But piracy has hit the record industry harder. In countries with high copyright awareness, it is easier for records to sell. I have a lot of foreign fans, so I naturally take advantage. ”

"How much is 2 million tickets?" Ye Yao asked.

She is not greedy for money, Ye Yu has so much money, what kind of money is she greedy for? She was just curious.

Ye Yu frowned slightly and thought for a while. "It's not easy to calculate. The cost of the album is mainly the production cost and publicity cost.

Among the production expenses, such as those for composers, lyricists, arrangers, producers, etc., are one-time expenses, upfront expenses. In addition, there is the cost of discs, one or two pieces per disc of poor quality is enough, and there are four or five pieces of good quality discs.

As for the cost of publicity. It is not increased in equal proportions, the higher the album sales, the less the amount of publicity expenses is allocated to each album, and the smaller the proportion of costs.

If you go to the physical channel to the dealer, you will generally give a seven-to-eight-percent discount to wholesale, and they will take two or three percent.

The final profit is divided between the company and the singer. The company takes the big head, and the singer can only take the small head, which is about 10% to 40% according to the fame.

According to my estimates, if two million copies are sold, if they sell 75 yuan a piece, the pre-tax profit can be 80 million to 100 million, and the singer can get 30 million. ”

Actually, Ye Yu was still very emotional in his heart.

In the previous life, piracy was rampant in China, coupled with the rise of streaming media, even Jay Chou's album only sold more than two million copies, and this was before 2010, and it will not work after 2010.

And because of the high pre-production cost and publicity cost of the album, many singers actually lose money when they release albums, they accumulate popularity by releasing albums, and then make money by holding concerts, shooting advertisements, endorsing products, attending events, etc.

Of course, in this world, there are also many singers who release albums at a loss, but not as many as in their previous lives.

"30 million is also a lot, and more than half of the personal income tax can be left." Ye Yao said.

"But you have to know that in this era of sluggish record industry, there are only about 10 singers in the entire Chinese music scene who can sell more than 2 million albums." Ye Yu said.

"Huh? 10 pcs? Brother, why did you just say that if I release an album, I can sell two million copies? Ye Yao was puzzled.

She doesn't think she can squeeze into the top 10 of the Chinese music scene now.

"Of course, it's because the songs I wrote for you are good enough, plus you are stained with my light~ Album sales are not only linked to the popularity of singers." Ye Yu said with a smile.

……

After watching the third "one" - a single album, Xu Letian looked at the fourth "one".

"Billie-Jean" single, he won't buy it.

It's not because he doesn't have the money to buy it, it's not because he is reluctant to buy it, and it's not because he doesn't support Ye Yu, but because he's going to ask Ye Yu for an autograph......

Looking at the fourth "one", Xu Letian suddenly complained: "Xiao Yu is too lazy, right?" Almost a Monday stop? ”

This fourth "one" is a national tour signing meeting!

The specific itinerary was announced on the notice.

"The tour signing sessions are all three-day stops! Four days at most! Xu Letian felt that Ye Yu was too lazy, and it was estimated that he had so much free time to prepare for playing.

After browsing roughly and complaining seriously for a while, Xu Letian looked at the fifth "one".

Suddenly, he understood why Ye Yu's signing meeting during the summer vacation was a Monday stop.

Because this fifth "one" is a variety show!

Filmed during the summer vacation, a variety show with Ye Yu participating!

Ye Yu's signing during the summer vacation will set up a Monday station, in order to take time to shoot this.

Glancing down, suddenly, Xu Letian's eyes widened, looking incredulous......
