Chapter 510: Protection

Two weeks have passed, in addition to the completion of the album arrangement in Ye Luo's hands, the number of Ye Luo's first record release has also been reported.

"Sales are around three million." Song Yan looked at the number of reports in her hand, turned her head and said to Ye Luo.

When Song Yan said this, her demeanor was a little cautious, and her tone was very light, as if she was afraid that this number would anger Ye Luo.

"What's your expression?" Ye Luo was very strange, "It's over a million, it's very good." ”

"This is your Ye Luo's record, and it's my dereliction of duty that the sales are so low." Song Yan said in a low voice, "I didn't do a good job in marketing. ”

"That's fine." Ye Luo said with a smile, "There are only less than 10 million people in New York City, and you can sell 3 million copies, Mr. Song, you are really a woman." ”

Song Yan didn't understand, and glanced up at Ye Luo.

"Dick exploded!" Ye Luo explained.

Song Yan was speechless for a while, and then said: "But the good news is that the number of downloads of your new album has exceeded 40 million."

It's just that most of the 40 million downloads are domestic music fans, and the price of music to domestic music fans is relatively low, so the profit is not very high.

Integrated, the New York market has three million sales, and the profit is about 15 million US dollars, and our share is about 100 million US dollars. ”

"Very good." Ye Luo smiled, "I'm still very happy to learn that my records can at least make money." ”

"Morrow. Chaves's record has a lot of stamina. Song Yan added, "The sales volume in the New York market is currently around 3 million, and on the Leshi side, his downloads have been more than 20 million. And half of them are users in the United States, and the profits are relatively high.

The overall profit of this record is actually about the same as your one. ”

"Speaking of which, on the tenth day of this month, Lao Yang called over the divide, and we are rich?" Ye Luo said with a smile.

"yes. There are more than 200 million on the lighthouse side, and the beauty side is even more exaggerated, the records you made before and the records made by Lao Ding Xin add up to more than 300 million.

Combined with the sales of the traditional record market, we made nearly $600 million this month. ”

When Song Yan said this, her expression disappeared cautiously, and she began to be radiant.

"Not bad." Ye Luo was also very happy in his heart. "Lao Ding's side, all the money belongs to him to deal with, we don't care about it for the time being.

On our side, Damon. Sparky is about to release his own record, and there are three other new artists, who are also working on the zuò album, fifteen million, and you leave it all to him. As an operating model for his zuò records.

As for the other 200 million, we should upgrade it. Let's take down the distribution rights in New York State, and by the way, open up the record sales stores, we Lighthouse Records, are going to become a medium label. ”

"Hmm." Song Yan said, "I'll deal with it." ”

"That's right." Ye Luo's face was a little embarrassed, "Can you turn around and adjust millions of dollars?" into my private account? ”

"Are you short of money?" Song Yan was puzzled.

"Mo'er lives in the school, and I'm not at ease." Ye Luo scratched his head, "I want to buy her a suite in downtown New York." ”

"Oh, it turned out to be the Golden House Zangjiao." Song Yan glanced at Ye Luo with a smile, "Buy a house for Mo'er." Why are you so stingy, how can a few million be enough?

Leave this matter alone and leave it to me. ”

"I'll just do it myself......" Ye Luo's face was slightly embarrassed.

"My Ye Dong." Song Yan said lightly, "What about you, as long as you do your music well, please rest assured that you will leave it to me."

Have I lost your trust? ”

"Of course not." Ye Luo hurriedly said.

"Okay, Mo'er's house, I'll help you pick it. You can rest assured, she will be satisfied. Song Yan said as she closed her copy and stood up, "Okay, I'm going to a meeting." ”

When Song Yan went out, Tang Jinxiu on the opposite side whispered to Ye Luo: "Boss, I want to tell you something." ”

"Oh?" Ye Luo was a little strange, "Say it." ”

"Last night, I talked to the boss lady on the phone, and she said that recently, it seems that someone is always following her around." Tang Jinxiu said.

"What?" Ye Luo panicked when he heard this, "Why didn't Mo'er tell me about this?" ”

"It's not." Tang Jinxiu immediately explained, "The proprietress said that she found that this kind of tracking was not malicious.

There were about five of them, and whenever the proprietress went out, these people would secretly surround her, as if to protect her. And these people have all greeted the boss lady, saying that you sent it from the boss.

She called me to persuade you not to make such a fuss and waste money. ”

"I haven't sent anyone, have I?" Ye Luo chuckled in his heart.

"I sent it." As soon as the office door opened, Song Yan walked in again, "The best security company in the United States, one of the best retired special forces, was hired by me to secretly protect Mo'er's safety."

These five people not only have excellent individual ability, but also cooperate tacitly, and when necessary, they can even block bullets.

Of course, the asking price is also very high, 24 hours a day protection, 300,000 US dollars a day. ”

"Is this necessary?" Ye Luo asked.

"Of course it's necessary." Song Yan glanced at Ye Luo, "You Ma Daha, now we have to take up, and the big label will definitely not agree." They can't beat you musically, the bank blockade is useless to us, and public opinion attacks are even more counterproductive, and there is really no way, they may be hacked.

This is the United States, after all.

Your weakness is Chu Mo'er. If you don't send someone to protect her, what if something happens? ”

"I think Mr. Song has a point." Tang Jinxiu said.

was reminded by Song Yan, Ye Luo also felt that it was more thoughtful to do this, and he nodded: "Song Yan, thank you." By the way, didn't you go to a meeting? ”

Song Yan picked up the cup on the table, shook it at Ye Luo, turned around and walked out of the office again.

Tang Jinxiu said leisurely: "Boss, although I am the eyeliner of the boss's wife, I have to admit that I have become more and more fond of Mr. Song recently.

In the past, I didn't think she was very pleasing to the eye, and she always scratched her head in front of you.

She seems to be different in the last month, and she is very stable in front of you. And to the boss, she is very respectful, very thoughtful, the boss said, recently she and Mr. Song have been talking on the phone every night. ”

"Oh." Ye Luo smiled and didn't say anything.

Song Yan is really a very smart woman.

……

Ye Luo did not stay in the office for long, and starting today, the first rock album of the Roses on Lighthouse Records, can officially start recording.

The advantage of a band recording is that they don't have to hire a separate musician.

And when recording, you don't need to record a single track, the whole band is thrown into the studio.

The most important ability of a rock band is the ability to be live. This kind of live ability, even in the recording studio, can also produce a wonderful chemistry between musicians and singers.

It's a very weird thing to record a rock song separately from the singing.

So to record the record of the Rose Band today, Hu Jianing didn't have much work to prepare in advance, and Ye Luo finished arranging the sample and started recording it immediately.

Walking into the recording studio, the four members of the Rose Band were already there.

In terms of the division of responsibilities of modern rock music, four-piece bands generally need five to six people: lead singers, rhythm guitarists, lead guitarists, drummers, keyboardists, and some rock bands that integrate rap styles also need a DJ sampler.

Four people, that means one person wears many hats.

The lead singer of this band, rhythm guitarist, keyboardist, and the soul of this band, his name is Rambo. Houston, in her thirties.

This benevolent brother is the typical image of an American rock singer in Ye Luo's mind, with long hair and a shawl, earrings, shining pendants on his clothes, and unruly eyes, as if the whole world owes him a huge amount of money.

But he seems to be very compatible with Hu Jianing, and the two are sitting in the recording studio and smoking. The other three members of the band are preparing in the studio.

The singer smokes, in fact, Ye Luo is more resistant, although he himself occasionally comes to one, but he is also controlling the number of times he smokes, which is not a good thing, it hurts his throat.

But like Rambo. A rock singer like Houston, Ye Luo felt that he still didn't persuade him, this master didn't smoke marijuana here, even if he gave himself face.

"Which one will be recorded first?" Hu Jianing asked

"The second main hit." Ye Luo said. (To be continued......)
