Chapter 676: Financial Pressure
After discussing the next matter with Cui Zhengguang, Ye Zi had a long phone porridge with Yin Lihua again, and then returned to his room to rest. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
It's a pity that it's already the summer vacation, and Yin Lihua can occasionally ask for leave to go out to get together with Ye Zi during the day, and at night...... Uh, then don't think about it, Ling Yuping will definitely not leave Ye Zi such a chance.
Early the next morning, everyone divided into three ways and set off.
Shu Yi took her assistant to Shencheng TV Station to negotiate cooperation, Cui Zhengguang continued to observe the situation in the securities market, and Wenhui and Ye Zi sat at home, waiting for the arrival of Huang Zhijian and Wu Xiaoying. This issue of "Audiovisual World" is about to be launched, and Ye Zi's interview will also be on the headlines of this publication for the first time, which is something that Wenhui had already told the magazine when she was still in Xiangjiang.
Before 9 o'clock in the morning, Huang Zhijian arrived early, for him, the sooner things were determined, the better, he had been waiting for such an opportunity for several years.
Since the formation of the "Magnolia Band", they have participated in several concerts, but none of the organizers of the concert have allowed them to move the entire band to the stage for live singing, all with accompaniment tape, and their only few live performances have been underground, with only a small audience and no news reports. And those bands arranged and performed on stage were all accompanied by other people's singing, which made Huang Zhijian and them anxious. Because of the excellent results of those works in the previous two years on the "Pop Song Chart", the fame of the "Magnolia Band" has long been established in the Shencheng music scene, but a band with a rock direction cannot perform live, and it is impossible to truly establish its own unique style and greater influence.
It's not just about being famous.
Huang Zhijian came with absolute sincerity, the negotiation between the two sides was harmonious and fast, Huang Zhijian almost did not hesitate to agree to the various requests put forward by Wenhui, these things Ye Zi was angry with him on the phone last night, and he was also mentally prepared. Of course, Wenhui also met Huang's request, giving him a verbal promise to sing at least three songs, and paying the first deposit to invite them as an accompanying band.
A concert takes at least one and a half to two hours, and the ten works in Ye Zi's album alone will definitely not be able to support the entire concert, so it is imperative to invite guests to participate. Huang Zhijian and his "Magnolia Band" have a lot of fame in the Shencheng music scene, and both sides of this cooperation take what they need, which can be described as a great joy. Now just wait for Shu Yi and the TV station to negotiate an official result, and Wenhui will be able to sign a real performance contract with Huang Zhijian. Even if the right to invite guests is all vested in the TV station, Wenhui Entertainment will definitely have no problem inviting the "Magnolia Band" to participate.
Huang Zhijian came in a hurry, and after talking, he politely thanked Ye Zi for inviting him to lunch, and immediately left in a hurry. Time is pressing, and the candidates and songs of the other guests have not yet been decided, but Ye Zi's ten works and three of their own works must be rehearsed first. It's been a long time coming, and now that such a rare opportunity has finally arrived, Huang Zhijian really doesn't have time to be polite to Ye Zi anymore.
Ye Zi was no longer polite after holding back, they were all old friends, and they didn't need to be so outside. Besides, Wu Xiaoying was already waiting for him in the study, and he didn't have time to continue grinding with Huang Zhijian.
……
This interview was also done smoothly and efficiently, and Ye Zi and Wu Xiaoying had already finished talking before noon. By tomorrow morning at the latest, Wu Xiaoying's interview article will be submitted to the editorial office of "Audiovisual World" and added to the layout of this issue of the magazine.
had lunch with Ye Zi and Tai Wenhui, and made an appointment with Tai Wenhui to do an interview with the agent, and Wu Xiaoying said goodbye and left.
Before lunch, Wenhui received a call from the headquarters of Xiangjiang, and the sales of the new album yesterday had been counted. Although the sales of 4,077 copies not only fell below the 5,000 mark, but also quickly fell to only a little bit of data in the early 4,000s, this number is enough for Ye Zi's new album to officially cross the platinum record data of 50,000 sales, and the total sales have reached 51,707 copies, and they have begun to move towards the goal of 100,000 double platinum copies. Considering that yesterday (July 6) was a working day on Monday, Ye Zi's new album has been officially on sale for 9 days, and more than half of the enthusiasm accumulated by fans has been consumed, and the sales of 4000+ are definitely a number that can be fully accepted by Wenhui and Ye Zi.
At the same time, after a full half-month journey of Chen Yichen's new album, yesterday's sales have fallen to 2,509 copies, and the total sales have come to 61,073 copies. This data is almost 10,000 more than Ye Zi, but his album was also released 6 days earlier than Ye Zi, and it is difficult to say who will have the last laugh. After going through the hottest stage in the first half of the month, the final results of Chen Yichen's album depend on whether it can maintain sales of more than 1,000 copies per day in the future, but no matter how the sales fall, there is absolutely no problem in breaking the double platinum within two months. As for Huang Zichen's prediction of the sales of three platinums, Chen Yichen and Ye Zi, like Ye Zi, still need a little special method to continue to push it.
Keny's method for Chen Yichen is very special, he hopes to use the sales of Chen Yichen's album in mainland China to stimulate the Xiangjiang market, and he is very confident in the sales of this album in mainland China, especially in the Shencheng market. For this reason, this time, Brother Keny deliberately put aside the Huaxia Record Factory that he had been cooperating with in the past, and contacted Shencheng Audiovisual Company through the matchmaking of Yunnan Provincial Audiovisual Company, and invited Shencheng Audiovisual Company to serve as the general agent for the sales of Chen Yichen's new album in mainland China.
Gan Zhihao, general manager of Shencheng Audio-visual Company, and Yang Qingsong, vice president, visited Chen Zimo of Shencheng Radio for this matter, listened to his views on Chen Yichen, a singer in Xiangjiang, and his opinions on this matter, and contacted Ye Zi and Wenhui under the introduction of Chen Zimo, and learned in detail about Chen Yichen's recent situation and development expectations in the Xiangjiang music scene, and finally decided to cooperate with Huaxing Records.
Considering that Ye Zi's album is about to be released, and Shencheng is Ye Zi's base camp, Brother Keny, after careful discussion with Gan Zhihao and Yang Qingsong, decided to put Chen Yichen's album release date on August 8, that is, Ye Zi's original release date. By that time, Ye Zi's new album had been on the market for more than two weeks, and it would definitely not affect the sales of Chen Yichen's new album. Around July 15th, Brother Keny will personally take Chen Yichen to Shencheng and use Shencheng as the base camp to start this Chinese propaganda. When he was still in Xiangjiang, Brother Keny had already specially greeted Ye Zi, hoping that Ye Zi would try his best to help Chen Yichen at that time.
This, of course, is no problem.
……
At 2 o'clock in the afternoon, Shu Yi and the others returned to the villa, and Wenhui and Ye Zi immediately came to the study with her to discuss. As far as the current situation is concerned, this is the most important thing before and after the release of Ye Zi's album, and it is also the top priority of this promotion.
Shu Yi and the TV station have already talked about it, just like Ye Zi and Cui Zhengguang said last night, after Mr. Zhou Fang got the right to co-host the concert and the right to invite guests, he simply agreed to this cooperation.
However, they also made several requests.
The first is scaling up.
The TV station thought that it would be a bit of a waste to just hold the event in a medium-sized stadium with a capacity of 4,000 people after applying for a formal performance permit, so they suggested that the concert be moved directly to the largest stadium in Shencheng, the 10,000-person stadium.
As soon as they heard this request, Yutai Wenhui and Ye Zi frowned at the same time.
Moving the concert to the 10,000-person stadium, if other factors are not considered, it is a good thing for Ye Zi and Wenhui Entertainment. The 10,000-person stadium in Shencheng has been famous since its completion in 1975 and is by far the largest indoor stadium in mainland China, with a capacity of 18,000 people for sports competitions. If it is used for singer concerts, the center stage area can be built with a huge capacity of 12,000 people. In recent years, a group of famous singers from Xiangjiang and Taihai have come to Shencheng to hold concerts in this gymnasium, and those concerts have all been successful, which also makes this gymnasium have a lot of fame in Xiangjiang and Taihai, and it is undoubtedly the first choice for singers who want to hold concerts in Shencheng. If Ye Zi holds his first concert in the 10,000-person stadium, he will be able to invisibly raise his worth to the same status as those Xiangjiang and Taiwan Strait singers, which is of course an excellent thing.
However, Wenhui and Shu Yi had not considered this venue before, not because it was not good enough and not suitable, but because it involved a lot of capital costs.
To hold such a concert, the rent of the venue and sound and lighting equipment is a large amount, and the construction of the performance stage is also a large expense. If the cost of holding an event in a medium-sized stadium with a capacity of 4,000 people is counted as 1, then the cost of holding an event of the same level and scale in a stadium with a capacity of 10,000 people should be at least 3, or even 5.
Ye Zi's concert will be a fan concert that is not open to the public, and all the costs will be borne by Wenhui Entertainment independently, so the financial pressure in this regard will obviously be very great. (To be continued.) )
