"Is it really difficult for publishing houses to this extent?" Chen Lang looked at Manager Liu with a sad face and asked.

"It's more difficult than you think, the publishing house is now responsible for its own profit and loss, and more than half of the money earned by "Zhu Xian" has been siphoned off, there is not much money left, and the turnover is more difficult, and now the competition of the publishing house is fierce, and there are very few book stores that are really willing to cooperate with newly opened publishing houses like ours, except for popular novels, other book stores rarely buy.

In addition, I feel that I am really not suitable to be a person in charge, and I still have to review the manuscript easily and happily, and I need to be busy all day long, which is really a headache. Manager Liu said with a bitter face.

Chen Lang felt that Manager Liu's personality was really not suitable for being alone, if he hadn't been forced to do anything, I'm afraid he wouldn't have come over today and let him review the manuscript or be more suitable for him, but now Chen Lang can't stand idly by, "Then you don't have any other way?" ”

"Another option is to publish your second novel, Ethereal Journey." Manager Liu said helplessly.

I'll go, you really can't live without me, Chen Lang shook his head secretly, and couldn't think of any other way for a while, "Didn't you say that you were already preparing last time, and if you really can't help it, then you will publish it." ”

"But this is only a temporary solution, even if you make money, I am afraid that the company will still take away more than half of the profits, and then it will become the way it is now." Manager Liu said.

"Since the publishing house is in difficulty, why don't you tell the parent company that they don't take away the funds?" Chen Lang wondered.

"This ...... This ......" Manager Liu seemed to be a little unspeakable, and he couldn't say it for a while.

When Chen Lang saw Manager Liu's appearance, it was estimated that there was something dirty within the company that was not easy to mention, so he didn't ask anymore, and finally could only be relieved, "Let's wait for the reply of the Japanese company, if we can open up the Japanese market, we should be able to temporarily alleviate the problem of the publishing house." ”

After saying that, the two left Yulang International in a car, and after returning home, Chen Lang put aside the problem of the publishing house and began to think about which one he wanted to plagiarize in his fourth novel.

Chen Lang was thinking about it, but he was awakened by a phone ringing, Chen Lang walked over and picked up the phone, "Hey, is it Lang Lang?" Chen Shufen's voice came from the phone.

"It's me, is there something wrong with Sister Chen?" Chen Lang replied.

"I'll tell you good news." Chen Shufen said happily.

"Good news again? I've been surrounded by good news lately. Chen Lang thought that he had been receiving good news recently, it was really a blessing.

"Remember when I told you about the overseas release of "Lang Lang Qiankun"?" Chen Shufen said, "It has been released in Taiwan and Southeast Asia for about three weeks, and Taiwan has sold 200,000 copies, but unfortunately "Lang Lang Qiankun" is a Cantonese album, otherwise this number will definitely more than triple again."

A total of 310,000 copies have been sold in Southeast Asia, and now "Lang Lang Qiankun" has sold about 275,000 copies in Hong Kong, and a total of about 510,000 copies have been sold overseas. ”

Chen Lang was a little surprised to hear this data, he really didn't expect that the first record would be able to sell millions of sales, in fact, Chen Lang was prepared to sell 270,000 sales in Hong Kong, but overseas plus Japan and South Korea are likely to sell millions of sales, which Chen Lang did not expect.

However, considering that Hong Kong can sell nearly 300,000 tickets in a single city, plus Hong Kong is the source of entertainment resources in Southeast Asia, the population of Southeast Asia and Taiwan is much more than Hong Kong, this figure is also acceptable, but this achievement should be far from Teresa Teng, who is known as the "billion applause" and "Asian singer".

"By the way, Sister Chen, I haven't asked, how much money can I get for a record?" Chen Lang asked curiously as he remembered his record.

"Your share is 40% of the net profit, don't look at the price of a record is so high, but in addition to all kinds of recording costs, filling costs, and transportation advertising and other inputs, many people's records are losing money and making money.

However, Lang Lang, your "Lang Lang Qiankun" has sold well, but it has made a lot of money, in short, after removing various costs, in the end, your forty percent net profit share is about 12 yuan per record, which is already the specification of a superstar in the music world.

Singers such as Xu Guanjie and Luo Wen can probably get 10-15 yuan for a record, and you can get this amount for your first record, which is absolutely unique in Hong Kong. Chen Shufen said with emotion, I have to say that Chen Lang is really a genius with a difference.

"A record can earn 12 Hong Kong dollars, so if I sell 1 million copies, won't I become a multimillionaire directly?" Chen Lang startled himself with a little calculation.

No wonder Michael Jackson was able to have a net worth of billions of dollars in his previous life, this record is too profitable.

"There's a problem with your algorithm, when I say that a record makes a profit of 12 Hong Kong dollars, I mean that 275,000 records released in Hong Kong will be released overseas, and the profits of the record companies that are released overseas will be 40%.

If you calculate the overseas records, you can get about 7.2 Hong Kong dollars per album, which is a lot less, but you should still be able to become a multimillionaire. Chen Shufen corrected Chen Lang's algorithm, but if it really sells millions of copies overseas, it is indeed possible for Chen Lang to make a profit of 10 million.

"If that's the case, wouldn't many singers be able to become multimillionaires by releasing a few more records?" Chen Lang calculated, as if he might still become a multimillionaire, and asked curiously.

"It's also right or not, first of all, the proportion of June Fourth assigned by our Huaxing and you should be considered high, except for a few emperor superstars, other people are rarely able to get such a high share ratio, and some singers even only have salaries, and those who don't have a share are even worse.

In addition, not everyone can sell millions of copies casually, even if they are emperors, but you are right, as long as you release a few more records and win by quantity, you can indeed become a multi-millionaire. Chen Shufen then explained.

"I see, but I'm going to be a multimillionaire anyway, right?" Chen Lang is still a little stupid and unclear, after all, he can make a profit of tens of millions just by releasing a record, and now the average clerk in Hong Kong is probably less than 30,000 Hong Kong dollars a year, the gap is really too big.

It's no wonder that so many people want to be big stars, in addition to being the focus of attention and satisfying their vanity, they can also make money so quickly, which is really exciting.

Of course, Chen Lang has undoubtedly helped a lot as a traverser, and the countless classics brought by a golden finger make Chen Lang's success seem to be much easier, but in reality, it is always rare to be able to stick to this road and succeed in the end.

I'm afraid that there is no one in ten thousand, and in the end, I can only knock my head, smooth the edges and corners, extinguish the hope in my heart, and then turn around gloomily and leave this glamorous but ruthless entertainment industry in obscurity.

"You'll be a multimillionaire in a few months, and now you'll only be a million, I'll go to your house tonight for dinner, and by the way, I'll send you a share of the sales profits of the "Lang Lang Qiankun" record in Hong Kong, and I'm discussing something with you by the way. Now I have something to do, goodbye. Chen Shufen hung up the phone after speaking.

Chen Lang couldn't calm down for a long time after putting down the phone, Chen Lang didn't care when he first made a million, and when he saw Tang Xiaomei's Repulse Bay villa, he also said that he would work hard to make money and buy a set to live next door to her house, but he didn't expect that just a record would complete all the goals.

At this time, Chen's father and Chen's mother returned home together, but as soon as they entered the door, they saw where their son was sighing, so he asked curiously, "Lang Lang, what are you doing here?" ”

"Mom and Dad, do you know that you are about to become a multimillionaire parent?" Although Chen Lang has calmed down a lot, he is still a little excited when he talks about multimillionaires, and I believe that anyone who has become a multimillionaire from nothing will be excited.

"Multimillionaire parents?" Chen's father and Chen's mother didn't react for a while, until Chen Lang explained the matter in detail, the two of them opened their mouths wide and looked incredulous, Chen Lang was finally relieved to see his parents' expressions, it seems that everyone is like this.

"I'm going to be a multimillionaire in a hurry ?

"I'm going to be a multimillionaire dad soon?"

Looking at the stunned appearance of his parents, Chen Lang smiled secretly, and his mood returned to calm, now it's only 10 million, I will become a 100 billion man in the future, continue to struggle, after a while, Chen Lang went back to the house and began to continue thinking about his fourth novel.

As a result, Chen Lang regretted telling his parents the news during lunch, because the lunch was either too salty or too sweet, which made Chen Lang miserable.

In the evening, Chen's father and Chen's mother finally returned to normal, and carefully prepared a sumptuous dinner to welcome Chen Shufen's arrival, Chen Yun didn't know what to ask for, but Chen Shufen only reacted when Chen Shufen handed the check to Chen Lang after dinner.

The check in Chen Lang's hand said 3,135,000, Chen Yun thought it was 313,500 at first, but after a closer look, it was 3,135,000 and immediately widened his eyes, "I'm a little dizzy, how many zeros is this?" ”

"You read that right, it's 3.13 million, and that's just the Hong Kong share of the "Lang Lang Qiankun" record, and when the overseas sales share is counted, it will only be more." Chen Lang looked at his sister's surprised expression and said with a smile.
