Chapter 367: Sky-high Song
"Love Trap" was re-auctioned, and under everyone's coaxing, it soon reached the price of one million Hong Kong dollars. However, after breaking through one million, it seems to be a little lacking in stamina.
The average record company no longer dares to bid arbitrarily, lest it be as ugly as a popular record. At this moment, only Huaxing and Polygram are the only two companies that really want it, while Sony Records and EMI Records are making trouble on the side.
One million Hong Kong dollars is not a lot for them, but if they can mess up this matter, so that Huaxing and Polygram can't get the song, or let them pay a high price to get the song, they are really happy to do it.
After all, in the past two years, the Hong Kong music scene has watched Polygram and Huaxing play tricks, and although other record companies are also working hard, they are always not as good as their two companies. Now that he can eat and eat, these record companies are naturally willing to help.
Under the coaxing of Sony and EMI, "Love Trap" soon approached the level of 1.5 million.
After reaching this price of "none" and "wrong", the two companies no longer coaxed up. In the final analysis, "Love Trap" is just a sip of water song, although it is indeed very in line with the current trend and will definitely sell very well after it is launched, but in the final analysis, it is also a sip of water song. This means that it only has short-term income, and in the long run, it is not as good as songs like "Sunset Song" and "Downstream and Against the Current".
In addition, the two companies do not have a suitable singer to sing this song, so it is not impossible to buy it back, but it is difficult to guarantee the income. The risk was too great, so the two companies chose to exit tacitly.
In the end, only two companies remained, Huaxing and Polygram, to compete. It is also the dispute between Zhang Guorong and Tan Yilin's "quasi-first brother".
Huaxing and Polygram are both "not bad money" companies, Han Jin created tens of millions of income for Huaxing last year, and Tan Yilin also made Polygram make a lot of money, so both companies are wealthy and willing to spend money.
Now although the price has risen to 1.5 million, everyone still refuses to let go, or continues to raise the price, looking like "the master is not bad for money", quite like the style of Shi Chong Wang Kai Doufu in the Western Jin Dynasty.
In this way, the price quickly rose to two million Hong Kong dollars. Seeing that it is almost the same as the sky-high price of 2.5 million set by Mei Yanfang.
That's when it happened. Tan Yilin suddenly stood up, "Two million six million!" ā
Wow!
Everyone present was taken aback by his magnanimity, so much money, but it was really quite scary.
Although Yu Zheng has experienced a sky-high price of 2.5 million. The heart is already very strong. When you hear the price. I still can't help but shiver a little.
Zhang Guorong saw that he was robbed by Tan Yilin again this time, so he also stood up, "Two million and seven million!" He was robbed of "The Root of Love" by Tan Yilin last year. If it weren't for the "Unruly Wind" given to him by Han Jin, he wouldn't have been able to get on the throne at all, and it is estimated that he would be the same as Chen Baiqiang.
So this time, he didn't want to let go of "Love Trap", and when he saw Tan Yilin shouting out the sky-high price of 2.6 million, he was not to be outdone and shouted out 2.7 million!
Everyone couldn't help but be shocked when they saw that the two of them were bidding so high. 2.7 million songs, if the album can't sell four platinums, then basically even the cost can't be recovered, this risk is really a bit too big.
However, these record companies are thinking about short-term economic interests, and Tan and Zhang Guorong are now thinking more long-term. If you can become a quasi-first brother, it is not just a simple increase in status, but also an increase in the price of commercial performances, an increase in the price of advertising, an increase in the price of endorsements, and various intangible income brought about by the improvement of status.
Although the price of 2.7 million is indeed very high, as long as the song is good, it is worth the money.
"Two million eight million!" Tan Xulin shouted directly again without showing weakness.
"Two million nine million!" Zhang Guorong also shouted without flinching.
"Three million!" Tan continued to shout.
From the moment Zhang Guorong stood up, the dispute between him and his "quasi-first brother" has been completely clear, and this time it will not be possible to distinguish the winner or loser.
"Three two hundred and twenty thousand!" Zhang Guorong shouted again.
"Three and a half million!" Tan Yilin shouted again at a price.
Everyone present was completely dumbfounded.
One song is worth 3.5 million, and at the current price of 35 yuan for a record, at least five platinum sales must be sold to protect the capital.
Last year, Alan Tam's "The Root of Love" was only a sales volume of seven platinum, even if it can continue last year's sales this time, it won't make much money, so Huaxing and Polygram are also a little worried and don't want them to continue shouting.
"Four million!" Zhang Guorong suddenly roared and said, this is the last price he offered, if Tan Yilin really wants to take this song, then he can only cut his love.
As soon as the price of four million was shouted, the heartbeat of everyone present almost stopped. The price is so horrible that many record companies don't value that much money.
Tan Yilin was also taken aback by Zhang Guorong's arrogance, he really didn't expect Leslie, who usually looked so kind, to show his fangs now.
"Four million and one million!" Tan Yilin finally roared.
Zhang Guorong sighed, the general trend had gone, and he sat back in his seat depressedly.
Although Tan won the song, he was also physically and mentally exhausted, and he didn't have much excitement in his heart, but felt infinite pressure.
4.1 million songs, if you include the cost of other songs, the cost of recording records, the cost of advertising, etc., I am afraid that the total cost of this record will reach 5 million Hong Kong dollars.
With such an expensive cost, he would need to sell at least six platinums to recoup the cost, and even if he sold seven platinum sales, he would only make a little money.
Just now he was excited, so he didn't think about a lot of things clearly. Now that I have calmed down, I can't help but feel a little regretful when I think that I have just paid such a high price like a demon.
But now that the hammer has fallen, it is impossible to regret it. Now I can only hope that Han Jin's song is good enough to make him join the throne of "Quasi-First Brother", so that it can be regarded as worth the money.
ā¦ā¦
After the auction, the record companies that bid on the songs were invited to the backstage to trade, while the other guests were invited to another place to participate in a reception specially prepared for them by Han Jin.
"Ah Jin, congratulations, congratulations, I really didn't expect that there would be two sky-high prices. It's simply amazing! Huang Zhan said to Han Jin with a smile.
"yes. I didn't expect it to be so fierce this time. Han Jin also smiled.
was talking and laughing with the teacher when he saw Su Xiaoliang coming over, "Ah Jin, please do one thing." He whispered.
"Mr. Su. Tell me something. Han Jin said with a smile.
"That's right. Can the song "Sunset Song" be cheaper? Su Xiaoliang looked at Han Jin and asked.
Han Jin was stunned. What are you kidding! Red mouth and white teeth shouted out the price in front of everyone, and now after the bidding, they are privately discussing the price reduction! What if you set this precedent and other record companies ask for the same? When the time comes, they all say that they will reduce some money. That's not a small amount of money.
When the time comes, let's reduce the price, and lose at least one million Hong Kong dollars; If you don't reduce the price, just give Huaxing Records a reduction, not other record companies, what will people think of themselves? ! Isn't that asking for trouble!
It's also a shame to Su Xiaoliang, you are embarrassed to open this mouth, is Huaxing really so poor that he can't even take out 2.5 million. Damn, I've made more than ten or two million for you in the past two years.
Han Jin wanted to scold Su Xiaoliang, but after thinking about it, he still didn't want to turn his face with him, after all, everyone had cooperated quite well before. Now I turn my face for such a little money, and it seems that my eyelids are too shallow, and I don't recognize people for money.
But if he wants to agree, Han Jin is really reluctant. When he was in a dilemma, he heard Huang Zhan say with a smile, "Mr. Su, you are really a little Meng Lang when you mention yƬ." If Ah Jin agrees to give you a price reduction, I'm afraid it will not only be reduced by 120,000 yuan, but at least one million Hong Kong dollars will be gone. And what if other record companies find out, everyone comes to ask for it like you, so will Ah Jin agree or not? If you agree, who will be responsible for the loss; If you don't agree, you will offend everyone in the industry. In my opinion, Mr. Su, you should pay happily. Ah Jin has also made a lot of money for Huaxing in the past two years, so you should compensate him a little. ā
Su Xiaoliang listened to Huang Zhan's words, and couldn't help but smile awkwardly. He really didn't plan to reduce only one or two hundred thousand Hong Kong dollars when he looked for Han Jin, he planned to let Han Jin directly wipe off the big head, and only pay 500,000 Hong Kong dollars like Xu Xiaofeng.
Now that he was robbed by Huang Zhan, and seeing that Han Jin had not replied for a long time, he knew that his request was too much, so he had no choice but to wave his hand and not mention it again.
Now although Han Jin is still a singer of Huaxing Records, he basically can't control others. With his current popularity and status, if he shouts that he wants to leave Huaxing Records, some record companies will take over. Su Xiaoliang can only treat Han Jin as an ancestor now, for fear that he will leave Huaxing one day if he gets angry.
Su Xiaoliang then obediently went to pay the money, and Han Jin smiled at Huang Zhan, "Master, thank you for helping me speak, otherwise I really don't know what to do." ā
"Hehe, these words are really not suitable for you, then I have to say it, who made me your master." Huang Zhan said with a smile.
Han Jin couldn't help but be very moved when he heard him say this, "Master, you are really good to me. ā
"Well, Ah Jin, although this song auction was a success, you can't be complacent." Huang Zhan reminded with a smile, "There are sinister villains in this circle, and they will definitely be jealous when they see you making so much money." On the surface, they may not be able to help you, but you have to guard against them secretly putting cold arrows. ā
"I know, master." Han Jin nodded, "Thank you for the reminder." ā
"Well, I knew you were sensible." Huang Zhan smiled, "Okay, you go over there and have a look, I'll go drink first." ā
Han Jin agreed, and then walked to the checkout office, and saw Yu Zheng and the staff helping these record companies settle the bill.
A total of 20 songs were auctioned today, and the total amount also reached 15 million, with an average value of 750,000 per song. Excluding the two sky-high songs, the average price of these songs is 450,000, which is more than double that of last year.
After the statistics came out, everyone present couldn't help but feel a little dizzy. Although they all knew that Han Jin had made a lot of money this time, they didn't expect him to make so much money. Twenty songs sold for so much money, which is really enviable, jealous and hateful.
"Jin Shao, you are really amazing! Earn so much in one song, oh my God! Yu Zheng looked at Han Jindao in surprise. She knew that Han Jin had made a lot of money in the past two years, but she didn't know how to make money. Now seeing so many large-denomination checks with his own eyes, Yu Zheng can't help but feel a little heartbeat.
"YT, you've won the prize, but it's actually just everyone giving me face." Han Jin smiled and said, "Okay, after settling the bill, come with me for an interview with reporters, you are today's auctioneer, and it won't be possible without you." ā
When Yu Zheng heard him say this, he knew that he was giving himself a chance to publicize, and he couldn't help but look at him gratefully, "I know, Jin Shao!" Thank you! (To be continued......)
