Chinese In April 2018, when the 24th professional musician in the mainland jumped from the rooftop on the 8th floor, Wang Kefan's name finally disappeared from the headlines of the entertainment section. Compared with the Diamond Award won by Wang Kefan, the bizarre continuous suicide incidents in the entertainment industry are obviously more in line with the curiosity of modern people.

In fact, the suicide of mainland musicians is not a new thing this year at all, and it can be traced back to the 21st century, and this kind of large-scale collective suicide began as early as June last year. There are all kinds of nonsense on the Internet, some say that it is a ghost, and some say that a professional killer was cuckolded by a musician, so he holds a grudge and is determined to kill enough 99 musicians to relieve his anger.

Just when all parties are talking and talking, a group of people who stand relatively high in the music circle have already seen the clues of the matter. Wang Kefan and Gao Xiaosong both knew the reason, but they couldn't do anything. The cause of all these tragedies is not a natural disaster, but a natural disaster. The contradiction between the large influx of newcomers every year and the market that has already reached its maximum load cannot be solved by money. Even, until an effective solution is found, even the Ministry of Culture and Radio and Television can't do anything.

Because this kind of thing happens not only in China, but also in European and American countries. It's just that 24 people died in a month this time, which is more shocking.

The musician who died this time is named Zhu Linfeng, who is 31 years old this year, one year older than Wang Kefan. Zhu Linfeng's personal studio was established three years ago, which means that it is only three years to really turn into a professional musician. In three years, he wrote a total of 105 songs. Among them, there are 63 songs that have obtained the release number and successfully entered the online charging market.

Wang Kefan sat in front of the computer, frowned, and carefully looked at the sales of each song of the singer. 63 songs, the best-selling one, with 1,564 downloads, and the worst one with 261 downloads, with an average of no more than 500 downloads per song. Zhu Linfeng's songs are all Chinese songs, which are only popular in the Chinese music circle. Each song is settled in RMB.

The download cost of a song is one dollar, but after removing the operator's 15, as well as personal income tax 11.2, and other messy taxes, in fact, every time you download, the singer can only earn about 7 cents. The total number of downloads of all Zhu Linfeng's songs in the past three years is 30,807 times, which is converted into a total income of more than 20,000 yuan - but in fact, there are not so many. Because half of this income comes from yesterday.

After Zhu Linfeng jumped to his death, the number of downloads of his songs increased by more than 10,000 people in one day, which was almost half of the data that Wang Kefan saw at this time.

In this way, his average monthly income for three years is ...... 277 yuan......" Cai Xiaowu held the calculator with a shocked expression.

Wang Kefan nodded. Shen Sheng: "Judging from the figures of network operations, musicians like Zhu Linfeng now have at least tens of thousands of people across the country."

"So many?" Cai Xiaowu was surprised.

"And there will be more and more." Wang Kefan couldn't bear to shake his head.

Cai Xiaowu was puzzled: "Brother Fan, why is this happening?"

"Because of vanity."

"Vain?" Cai Xiaowu became more and more puzzled, "Brother Fan." I don't understand. ”

"Xiaowu, let me ask you. When you first stepped into this circle, did you feel that dangling in front of the camera all day had a particularly long face?" Wang Kefan asked.

Cai Xiaowu thought for a while and said, "It's a little bit."

Wang Kefan asked again: "At that time, do you think that you can become a superstar sooner or later, it's just a matter of time?"

Cai Xiaowu nodded slightly hesitantly, "Yes." ”

"So......" Wang Kefan said, pointing to the songs on the screen with pitiful download numbers, "the people who write these songs have the same ideas as you, but they are obviously a little overconfident." ”

Wang Kefan downloaded Zhu Linfeng's best-selling song, Cai Xiaowu was wondering, and saw Wang Kefan click to play, and then a voice that was definitely not good, or even ugly, came out of the speaker.

After playing for less than 20 seconds, Wang Kefan turned off the music and asked Cai Xiaowu: "Do you think he is suitable for being a singer?"

Cai Xiaowu shook his head very decisively, and Wang Kefan said: "But he thinks he can do it."

Cai Xiaowu sighed.

Wang Kefan continued: "This part of the people is not self-aware, and the other part of the people are obsessed. I asked Mr. Tao of Tianyu yesterday about Du Ran's recent achievements, Tianyu has produced a total of 15 singles for him in the past 2 years, the blessing of Tona Xiongsi, the best one has 180,000 downloads, and the average number of downloads per song is about 100,000 people, but the latest one, the number of downloads has dropped to 80,000 people, and at most in another 2 years, this number will drop to less than 50,000. ”

"Brother Fan, I know this." Cai Xiaowu said, "Du Ran is already preparing his own studio and plans to terminate the contract with Tianyu." ”

"Then do you think he can get a good deal after he terminates the contract with Tianyu?"

Cai Xiaowu has been around Wang Kefan for the past two years, and he has also touched some knowledge of marketing and cultural product promotion, he replied: "Without Tianyu to promote him, I am afraid that his song sales will continue to decline."

"Up to 10,000 people left." Wang Kefan said with great certainty, "Idols have lost their packaging, just like a tiger that has been pulled out of its teeth and cannot launch good works, and the popularity he has accumulated in the past few years will soon disperse." There is never a shortage of the latest idols in the market, and fans are always more forgetful than you think. ”

Cai Xiaowu was silent.

"I said that Du Ran is not suitable to be a singer at all." Wang Kefan continued, "The online music market focuses on the quality of songs, not the faces of idols. If you can't sing well, your popularity is not high enough to allow you to invest in concerts for him, and now entrepreneurs are all insiders, and the average online sales volume is only 500,000 people. They won't invest in you at all. Think about it, there are only 500,000 people in the entire Chinese-speaking society who support you. How many people can be attracted to a concert if you are scattered to one city?"

Cai Xiaowu couldn't help but nodded, relying on Wang Kefan to write songs for him, he now has an average download of about 1 million people per song, Wang Kefan opened a concert for him in Zhonghai City, and only sold more than 30,000 tickets in total, for a concert with an investment of about 2 million yuan, this number is just stepping on the passing line. And among the more than 30,000 people who bought tickets, how many of them came for Wang Kefan, Cai Xiaowu also understood in his heart.

With Wang Kefan's strong support, there is no difference between wanting to go it alone at Du Ran's level and looking for death. Not to mention a character like Zhu Linfeng, who is far behind Du Ran. Cai Xiaowu felt a little unbearable, these people should not have taken this road in the first place. For a so-called star dream. It's better to earn less than 300 yuan a month, this is not persistence, this is called stupidity.

Wang Kefan closed the webpage and stopped looking at the sad numbers.

Cai Xiaowu came out of Wang Kefan's office, a little sluggish.

Dong Li, who had just finished a meeting with the security team, saw Cai Xiaowu and greeted, "Xiaowu." Why are you so listless?"

Cai Xiaowu looked up and saw that it was Dong Li, smiled, and said, "It's nothing, I was just scared by Brother Ke Fan just now."

"What, the boss is going to take you to the South Pole to practice?"

"That kind of place. He pointed a gun at me, and I didn't go. Cai Xiaowu said, "Brother Dong." I'm not alive tomorrow, so let's show up tonight?"

"Okay, I'll talk to my daughter-in-law!" Dong Li said very coolly.

……

……

Cai Xiaowu and Dong Li both belong to the kind of people who don't usually like to talk much, and their personalities are introverted and more compatible, so they have become good friends in 2 years.

Dong Li is now the manager of the security department, and he is only on symbolic night duty once a month, and after work, the two of them drove straight to a teahouse in the center of Tangcheng City.

It is said to be a teahouse, but it is also a restaurant business. After ordering the meal, the two of them lit a cigarette. They hardly smoke much in the company, although there is a special smoking room, but Wang Kefan does not like the smell of smoke, and the employees try to maintain restraint.

Cai Xiaowu took a deep breath, puffed out two lines of green smoke from his nose, and after he was addicted, he told Dong Li what Wang Kefan said to him today.

After listening to it silently, Dong Li said with a smile: "Now there are more than a dozen talent shows across the country every year, and the number of applicants for each program is at least 10,000, and the damn sum is more than 100,000!" Even if God is merciful and makes one red every day, even if it uses a wheel, I don't know if I have to wait until the Year of the Monkey and the month of the horse, besides, now there are at most ten red a year, and then it turns from red to white in the blink of an eye, how can it be so easy to be famous. It's better to find a stable job to do first, if you really have the ability, good things will fall on your head sooner or later, whether you can eat this bowl of rice is purely fate! ”

has been in the entertainment company for so long, and Li Li's wife talks to herself about celebrity gossip all day long, Dong Li is now the head of the music industry.

Cai Xiaowu nodded with a smile and said, "Brother Dong, your mouth is rising again."

Dong Li said with a look of course: "That's it, now I'm also a leader, and I've been studying how to make it clear recently!"

"Brother Dong, why did you say that Brother Fan suddenly told me this today?" Cai Xiaowu said.

"Maybe it's to persuade you to stop, you see that you earn millions of dollars a month for the company at most, and the boss earns hundreds of millions a month, in comparison, you are also a type that is not suitable for singing......"

Hearing Dong Li say seriously, Cai Xiaowu's face couldn't help but turn pale.

"Really?"

Dong Li laughed and said, "I tricked you, do you believe it?"

Cai Xiaowu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I was really scared by you."

"The boss won't be able to pay you this salary, so a big symphony orchestra, the boss has it!" Dong Li lit another cigarette, thought about it, and said, "I guess I guess, the boss should have made some big moves." The boss just can't hide things in his heart, and every time he plans to do something big, he has to make the whole world know. Maybe when you wake up tomorrow morning, you'll see the boss making headlines again. ”

Cai Xiaowu laughed, habitually took out his mobile phone to look at it, and then his smile suddenly froze.

He said, "Brother Dong, don't wait for tomorrow."

Dong Li took Cai Xiaowu's mobile phone, only to see that it was written: Wang Kefan said that he has a plan to solve the current contradiction between supply and demand in the pop music market, and hopes to get the support of relevant leaders of the Ministry of Culture.
