Chapter 182: It's too hot
,
"What do you say? Can't reproduce? How can it be. The owner of a certain piracy factory stared at him and shouted in disbelief. Like these who do piracy, the news is often better informed than ordinary people, movies, albums, who can be popular, who can't be popular, don't say that it's accurate to listen to and see, but it's often not far from ten!
"Boss really, the songs in that 'audition bag' have all been specially encrypted, and our people can't crack it for the time being!" The staff spread their hands, looking like I was in a rut.
The owner of the piracy factory stopped doing it and roared angrily: "You are pigs, you can't copy it, can't you clone it or remake it and record it?" ”
Mountain cannon, the owner of the piracy factory has never seen such a mountain cannon planner, the album has not been released yet, all the songs in the album have been confided in the whole first, this can't be given to entrepreneurs like themselves who do 'piracy', is there a chance?
Ten days? Ten days is enough time for pirated records to be sold all over the country. I've long wanted to change my lover to a BMW, and during this time, people don't serve themselves well, but He Nai's yellow-faced mother-in-law is strict at home, and now it's okay, isn't the opportunity coming! From last night to now, I haven't slept well all night excited for the 'big boss'!
"I can't record either, we've all tried!" The staff shook their heads with a wry smile.
", you're fooling me, aren't you?" The owner of a piracy factory started as an ordinary employee and is no stranger to piracy. Amplify the sound of the song, and then record it on a machine. Is there anything hard about this? Nima, a three-year-old kid can do it.
"If the boss doesn't believe it, you can listen to it yourself, this one was secretly recorded by us just now, the sound quality is extremely poor, not to mention, and there are advertisements!"
"What? And ads? "The owner of the piracy factory took the record from his employees. Put it in the machine.
"Piracy is a shameful act, please support the genuine ...... The price of the genuine album in mainland China is 18 yuan...... I hope everyone will actively buy Ziyaner's new album '**'......"
"it!" The owner of the piracy factory couldn't help jumping out of his chair in anger. It was originally a four-minute song. After recording it again, Nima became 16 minutes, in which a large number of advertising words were inserted. The singing is not as perfect as Ziyan'er in the 'Audition Bag'. A hoarse voice that gives people a feeling of egg pain!
What can I do? Could it be that just like that, a piece of fat slipped away from the nose? I'm not reconciled.
"Boss, what now?" The employees looked at their boss with a sad face, and asked cautiously, this 'Zhou Papi' hasn't paid him a salary yet, so he can't provoke him for the time being, and will wait for a few days. The salary is in hand, go to your mother's grandma, who you like to serve, who you want to serve, Lao Tzu doesn't serve anymore, I really think I made some money doing piracy. Nima is the uncle?
After doing this business for a long time, people have become sophisticated, and after thinking about it, he said: "Try to see if you can cut the advertising words in the song, if not, print it directly." With advertising words, Nima with advertising words, the genuine version sells for eighteen yuan a piece, and we sell three pirated copies for three yuan, and we are not allowed to insert some advertisements! ”
The owner of the piracy factory, who has been doing this business for more than ten years, wondered how people inserted advertising words into songs, and the original version could not be heard, but after secretly recording it, it was there? I couldn't help but sigh again, high-tech, it's really not something like myself who hasn't graduated from elementary school and can play! The times have really progressed!
……
"Boss, pirated albums cost fifteen yuan each, what do we earn?" Sister Mei couldn't help but look at Zhang Heng, the singer's albums, each price ranged from 45 yuan to 70 yuan. I haven't heard of any singer's album for eighteen yuan a piece!
Manufacturers who print albums want to make money, right? Middlemen want to make money, right? Retailers want to make money, right? You peel off a layer, I peel a layer, and in the end, how many more are left in the hands of 'Starlight Entertainment'?
"The mainland is at this price, the price of each album is eighteen yuan. The cost price of an album, two dollars is enough, right? The profit of a dollar of a middleman and the profit of a dollar of a retailer, we can still have fourteen dollars left, minus taxes, and ten dollars for an album, are we not satisfied? Zhang Heng smiled and shook his head. After a pause, he said: "Moreover, the place to make money is not in China, but in the overseas market!" ”
The pricing of Japan and South Korea is equivalent to about 118 yuan, who calls people developed countries, if you don't make money, you feel uncomfortable. In other Asian countries, such as Singapore, Malaysia, etc., the price is 68 yuan, and the price of TW, XG, and other places is 48 yuan.
The uniform sales price in Europe, the United States and other Western countries, twenty-eight dollars!
In other words, the mainland is shouting at a loss and trying to increase sales. Most of the money is outside, even if the profit is increased to 30 yuan, how much money can be earned in China?
Ziyan'er's album, which has not yet been released, became popular first.
Japanese merchants directly placed an order of 1.5 million records, 1.2 million in South Korea, 800,000 in Taiwan, 600,000 in X-Hong Kong, 800,000 in Singapore, and 1 million in the remaining countries. Not counting the mainland, the number of orders placed by several countries in Asia alone has exceeded five million, nearly six million!
If you make $20 for a record, 6 million is ......
"Boss, the orders from American manufacturers, three million, six million from European countries, and more than one million from other countries, the total number of more than 10 million!" When Sister Mei saw the report in her hand, she almost turned her back on excitedly.
It's only been two days, are people all over the world crazy because of Ziyan'er's "**"?
The album has not yet been released, and the orders of merchants alone have exceeded 16 million copies, which is not counting domestic sales. If after a month, will the sales double?
"This is just the beginning." Zhang Heng smiled, shook his head indifferently, thought for a while and said: "The current manufacturers are definitely not enough, find a few more, don't be afraid of more, let them rush to work, work overtime, and give them a dollar of profit, and strive to get 30 million sheets within a week." ”
"Okay!" Sister Mei is now more convinced of Zhang Heng, the boss, than anyone else. Isn't it a miracle that tens of millions of albums have been sold? If this report in her hand is exposed, not only the domestic entertainment industry, but also the global entertainment industry will be blown up, and at that time, Ziyan'er will not only emerge in Asia, she is already world-class. In the music world, as soon as '**' comes out, who dares to underestimate her anymore?
"By the way, send someone to bite those manufacturers, the master of the album must not leak out." Zhang Heng couldn't help but admonish again. The reason why there is no piracy from the outside world is because of the 'master disk'. In fact, whether there is piracy or not, the loss to Starlight Entertainment is not large, and piracy is much less in foreign countries than in China.
"Well, I'm going to keep an eye on it!" Sister Mei nodded and hurriedly walked out. Now Starlight Entertainment, up and down, except for Zhang Heng and Ziyan'er, there is no idler at all.
In the office, only Ziyan'er and Zhang Heng were left. Ziyan'er blushed, not daring to look at Zhang Heng's eyes, she was both happy and worried in her heart now. The sales of 16 million albums overseas are enough for her to become an internationally renowned singer, and her star will be even brighter in the future. What worries me is that how to deal with Zhang Heng, a man, must know that there was a gambling contract between the two at the beginning.
She never thought that it would be so easy to sell an album. If you have a flat '**', you can not only enter the world, but also bring great wealth to 'Starlight Entertainment'.
"You already knew my album was going to be a big hit, right?" Ziyan'er asked in a low voice. No wonder, this man let himself lend him all the money from selling albums.
Zhang Heng leaned on the boss's chair, put his legs on the desk, looked at Ziyan'er with a smile, and said: "Of course, this album, inside and out, is made by me, if it doesn't sell well, can it be worth my efforts?" ”
"I'll give you all the money from selling the album, no, I'll ask for 100 million dollars, and I'll give you the rest of the money, and our Starlight Entertainment Company will give it to you, can you let me go?" Zi Yan'er raised her head and pretended to look at Zhang Heng pitifully. As soon as she thought of the agreement between the two, Zi Yan'er's heart jumped.
"What do you say?" Zhang Heng smiled and asked rhetorically.
"You're not happy that the money has been given to you? Too greedy! Zi Yan'er looked at Zhang Heng and glared at him angrily. Angrily stamped his little feet! This bad embryo, do you really want to 'spoil' yourself? Now that I am a big star, world-class, maybe I can enter Hollywood in the future, I can win awards at the Grammys, and I can ......
Zhang Heng chuckled, put his legs down from the table, stood up and said, "People, you can't be untrustworthy, right?" I did what I promised you. As for whether you can do it or not as you promised me, it's your business. Don't come to ask me, there is Long Haitao and Long Gongzi to support you, I don't dare to do anything to you, you know this better than anyone else! ”
Zi Yan'er's face was blue and red for a while, and after thinking for a while, she bit her lip and said, "I'm not ready now, you can't force me." I'll give it to you when I'm ready, okay? ”
Zhang Heng shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile, "It doesn't matter. If you like it! ”
There are many women, not to mention that they don't have to live or die to like this big star, and they can't extricate themselves. The original gambling contract was not counted, and there was no loss to Zhang Heng, and it was an unexpected joy that she took the line of Long Haitao.
"What you said, don't go back!" Ziyan'er laughed happily again. Diverting the topic, he asked curiously: "Master Heng, how did you come up with the idea of putting my album on the 'New Century X.1' entertainment platform to promote it?" How did that company agree? ”
