1041.Free Man (2/5)
The flashing lights are bright, the screams are piercing, the ET boards are continuous, and there are many people holding fireflies, although the firefly sticks do not show the effect due to the weather, but they can add to the atmosphere of the scene. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The four members of the Sunset Orchestra gasped vigorously on stage, all four of them had sweat stains on their foreheads, and Reddy's white T-shirts were all soaked with sweat.
Stage performance is not a simple job, this thing is very laborious, Wang Bo used to see some singers to organize concerts need to carry out fitness strengthening activities in advance, and some did not understand, but now after observing the operation of a band up close, he understands.
With a loud singing voice and a fiery atmosphere, the Sunset Orchestra sang six songs on the stage, two from the album, two from the most popular songs, and two songs that they wrote but were not selected from the album.
After singing these six songs in one go, they were a little out of breath.
But they don't need to do any physical work later, so they work harder, and usually sing in bars, because they have to sing a lot of songs a night, and they all sing it.
Another reason for working so hard today is that the reaction of the fans at the scene made them feel like they were having a concert, even though it was just a shabby open-air singing event.
But sometimes it's just so easy to get satisfied.
Next up was the album autograph release, with the four members lining up to sign autographs for the album.
They were not well prepared, and it was estimated that if they could sell four or five hundred albums, it would be a success, but with the people who came to the scene later, there would already be 14,500 copies, and these people were all queuing up to buy the album.
Wang Bo looked at the long queue and the row of signature pens next to the four people, and couldn't help but show a palpitating expression: "Damn, I'm afraid my fingers will cramp after this signing, right?" ”
The cost price of an album is five New Zealand dollars, which is relatively high, mainly because too much effort is consumed in the recording studio, otherwise it can be done for one or two New Zealand dollars.
The song roared and this album sold for six yuan a piece, Wang Bo made it very clear on stage just now, these six yuan are the cost of five yuan plus one dollar of charity income, and the extra dollar will be gathered and invested in the charity fund.
Charlie stood next to him and said, "From today's event, you should have two realizations, one is that the town needs a large square to accommodate the event, and the other is that the Sunset Band will definitely be popular." ”
Wang Bo nodded and said: "The construction of the square has begun, the design drawings have come out, as long as the engineering team and equipment are in place, it can be built in two months." ”
This is one of the things that is better in New Zealand than in other places, and you can start working on construction even in winter.
The record sales campaign was a success, and it was an unexpected success, with the first batch of 5,000 album records selling more than 2,800 copies in one go, and only 2,200 remaining.
Almost everyone who came to participate in the event bought an album, and every household in Sunset Town also bought one, because Wang Bo held an event, and buying an album record could give a pound of pork.
The price of any meat produced at Sunset Ranch is expensive, including pork, and now that the pork is not a problem, Ye Qipeng's Northern Agri-Food Group is at least willing to take full responsibility for this pork.
The sales campaign lasts from noon to late afternoon.
Some local media such as "Aocheng Daily", "Otago Music Newspaper", "New Zealand Music News" and so on were saved for the end to give an interview to the Sunset group.
The outlets will feature the Sunset Combo in full-page format, with others including The New Zealand Herald, New Zealand National Television, Google News-New Zealand, and Yahoo News Music Sites also promising to cover the Sunset Combo.
Throughout the day, the four of Ryan were immersed in happiness and excitement, and after the interview, Reddy's voice was a little hoarse, and Wang Bo hurriedly handed him a box of throat lozenges.
Reddy continued to be interested, "Boss, I said we need an agent?" ”
Hill said: "The boss can be an agent, he is my agent. ”
Hill also got busy with the event, writing the Sunset Ensemble into the novel, and his "Notes" was almost finished, and at this time the attention was so high that almost all New Zealand readers were waiting for the finale.
So far, many of his rights have been sold, and he has earned more than two million New Zealand dollars.
For those internationally renowned writers, this income is simply unbearable, such as the mother of "Harry Potter", Ms. JK Rowling, the copyright of a book is hundreds of millions of euros!
But New Zealand is a small country, and the entertainment market is so big, Wang Bo and Hill sell New Zealand domestic copyrights, such as films, audio and publishing, and it is already a high price to sell two million.
However, the book made him more money than that, the value of his book is in comics and TV series, Wang Bo controls the copyright in his hands, and wants to cooperate internationally, so that the income can be doubled.
While chatting, Reddy asked Hill, "Hey, great writer, when will your new book come out?" ”
In the past, if someone called Hill a great writer, he would have thought that people were mocking him, but now he has the confidence to do so, at least in New Zealand, he is the mainstay of the new generation of writers.
Hill scratched his head and said: "There are still two weeks to finish the "Notes", and then I will take a break in the winter, and in the spring, I will release a new book, this time the new book is a fantasy theme, I will definitely surprise everyone!" ”
"I hope you can write a new copy of The Lord of the Rings." Wang Bo sincerely blessed him.
Hill teased, "Why don't I have a copy of "The Sunset King"? ”
"That's really the best," Wang Bo laughed, "Of course there's no hurry, we're going to have a celebration party for the Sunset Group tonight, I bet they're going to be hot!" ”
"And what about our contract?" Reddy asked expectantly.
At the beginning, Wang Bo bailed out four people, and the bail was 640,000 yuan in total, and according to their previous earning capacity of 20,000 yuan a month, the contract stipulated that they would work for him for at least 32 months.
It was a decision that would make four people regret it to the point of tears every night, they didn't expect the bars in Sunset Town to be so hot and earn back so much bail in a few days.
Only from the point of view of the contract, the four people cannot break the contract, although the bar is very profitable, but the bar does not rely entirely on the four people to make money, they have been busy releasing records these months, and the business of the bar is not bad at all.
The Reddy quad also found out, and at one point they were frustrated, feeling that their charm was not as great as they thought.
Looking at the four people with eager eyes, Wang Bo smiled and said, "Okay, our contract is over, and you are free people." (To be continued.) )
