Chapter 418: Uniasia Entertainment

If you were an ordinary singer, you would definitely not sign such a squeezing contract, but Ihiko is a special case.

Speaking of which, after working in the cloud world for so long as a public relations officer in the media department, Yiyan knows more about the things in the circle than anyone else, and he knows very well how oppressive this newcomer is.

But he is willing to be squeezed by the cloud world.

Cloud World is the company in which he has sweated almost all his youth, and he has been inspired by his former boss Du Shan, who has always regarded Cloud World as his dream and struggled.

To this day, he really wants to fulfill a dream that he has long since died out in the cloud world, and this feeling of realizing a dream is, in Yiyan's opinion, more meaningful to him than money.

Not to mention that now Cloud World also gives him a profitable 3% royalty to earn, even if Cloud World doesn't give him a single royalty and lets him release the album for nothing, he will not hesitate to do it.

You must know that now there are a lot of rookie singers outside who are posting their own money to release albums and do publicity, and he can be entrusted with such a heavy task by Cloud World to release this "Flower Heart" album, and Yiyan is already grateful to Cloud World.

As far as Yi Yan knows, Du Xinghe gave Xu Nuo, the champion of last year's Youth Star Competition, the top singer in the cloud world whose first album dominated the monthly sales chart for two months, and the publicity and distribution baseline set for the new album is 10 million.

As for his "Flower Heart", Du Xinghe has raised the publicity and distribution baseline to 20 million! What a weight!

Yiyan is truly grateful to Du Xinghe for giving him a chance for this 28-year-old old boy for a rookie singer.

The newcomer contract signed by Lin Jianguo with him is in the field of singers. Although it is extremely squeezed, in the field of humanities, Yiyan feels really good, even warm, and he doesn't feel the slightest panic in his heart.

Since this month, he has completed the handover of the work of the media and public relations manager, and he no longer has to sit on duty, but he can handle so many phone calls and publicity plans, as long as he wholeheartedly promotes "Flower Heart".

He is now a full-time contracted singer, it stands to reason. Cloud World no longer needs to follow the standards of the original general manager of the media and publicity department. paid him a salary of 30,000 yuan a month. Even if it is paid, it is like giving new singers like Yan Ruisha, Wang De, and Lie Yinghong, and a salary of about 5,000 per month can be given.

But in terms of his qualifications as a veteran employee of the cloud world, Du Xinghe made a decision. Until the record has a real share in his hands. Cloud World still pays him a salary of 30,000 yuan every month. This touched Ikhiko from the bottom of his heart, a feeling of being respected!

And to be honest, he signed this rookie record contract with Cloud World. It looks like it's very oppressive, but even if it is squeezed again, it will definitely bring him a rich return in the end, and Ihiko firmly believes in this.

According to the contract, only after Cloud World earns back 20 million or even more publicity and production fees in the future, can he be eligible to take 3% of the wholesale price of the cost of reselling the record.

The price of "Flower Heart" has been set, and it is the same as "Mandarin Duck Butterfly Dream", which is the most normal unit price of 50 yuan, and the cost wholesale price is 40 yuan.

Aside from taxes and some intermediate links, Cloud World can get a return of 25 yuan for each album sold. According to the current publicity and distribution cost of 20 million, "Huaxin" can completely recover the cost as long as it sells 800,000 copies.

800,000, which must be an unattainable number for an unknown rookie singer. Even if he is a little famous, just like Zhai Xiaofeng in the past, Hongyan threw him tens of millions of publicity and distribution costs, and if he released an album, he may not be able to sell 800,000 copies.

But for the golden sign of cloud world, it is different.

There is Du Xinghe pressing the formation, 800,000 copies, for today's cloud world singers, it is by no means a total sales number, not even a month's sales figure, cloud world singers, basically a week after the album is released, they can sell 800,000 copies! That's not to mention!

This time, Cloud World cooperated with National Entertainment to invest so much money to promote "Flower Heart". If "Flower Heart" can't sell 800,000 copies, then even if Cloud World takes the initiative to share Yiyan's royalties, Yiyan will be embarrassed to take it. And he doesn't have to sing in the future, just shut his voice and do his behind-the-scenes work in a down-to-earth manner.

Of course, none of this is possible.

Yiyan's recent conversation with Du Xinghe and Xiao Tianlang can clearly show from the words of these two giants that they are very confident in the prospects of "Flower Heart".

Although Du Xinghe has never been putting pressure on Yiyan, he has also told Yiyan that the bottom line of his requirements for "Flower Heart" is to meet the standards of Xiaotianwang and sell 10 million copies annually! Du Xinghe is still quite confident in this sales, and in order to achieve this sales, Cloud World will definitely invest in additional publicity in the album in the future. He asked Yiyan to work hard and strive to establish a solid position with a record like Zhai Xiaofeng.

Du Xinghe is confident in things that are generally not wrong, and Yiyan is deeply touched by this. Let's not talk about the invisible benefits that this album brought him, such as endorsements, acupuncture, and participation in various activities after being popular, but the squeezing contract of this record actually brought him an unprecedented amount of wealth!

His 3% profit royalty share, after deducting taxes, is almost a record to get a dollar of income, sell 10 million copies, throw out the cloud world's upfront investment and re-investment of the production and distribution costs, will also bring him millions of income!

Ihiko never thought he would become a millionaire, but this time he will most likely become a millionaire and a big star!

Such an opportunity is likely to only be available once in a person's life, so Ihiko will naturally work hard.

Du Xinghe also took a fancy to Yiyan as a hard-working person that gave Yiyan such an opportunity. For singers, voice and musical talent are naturally the most important, but Du Xinghe actually values their efforts more.

Xu Nuo is like this, Yiyan is still like this, in fact, even Zhai Xiaofeng and Du Xinghe think that he is a hard-working person, not the kind of singer who fishes for three days and dries nets for two days, so he agreed to let him sing "Mandarin Duck Butterfly Dream".

Du Xinghe would rather give the opportunity to these hard-working singers. I don't want to give Liao Nan a guy who is naturally lazy. Because of the same opportunity, given to Liao Nan and a singer who works hard, the results will definitely be different.

"Bell bell bell ...... Bell bell bell ...... Bell bell bell ......"

Just as Du Xinghe was looking at yesterday's sales list, the phone on his desk rang.

This phone has a caller ID, and the number displayed is from Hong Kong.

Du Xinghe expected that it was either Lin Jianguo or Xu Nuo calling, given that Xu Nuo would call his mobile phone when he called, and would not call his company phone lightly, so he was almost certain that Lin Jianguo called.

Lin Jianguo called the office at this hour, and he must have come to ask about record sales. This uncle is always impatient. It's about making money. He had to know it right away.

"Hello?"

Du Xinghe picked up the phone, and sure enough, Lin Jianguo's greeting came from there: "Ha, Adu." It's me. You're still in the company. What do you think. Got yesterday's sales number, right? How is "Mandarin Duck Butterfly Dream" selling? And "Little Bird", how many copies were sold yesterday? ”

"The sales of "Mandarin Duck Butterfly Dream" yesterday were 110,000 and 502 copies." Du Xinghe used his finger to compare the single-day sales of "Mandarin Duck Butterfly Dream" on the fax list and read it to Lin Jianguo.

"It's down again. Recently, "Mandarin Duck Butterfly Dream" has declined very much! Lin Jianguo couldn't hide the regret in his tone, the decline in sales of "Mandarin Duck Butterfly Dream" means that the revenue of the cloud world has decreased. Compared with yesterday's sales of more than 120,000 copies, today's "Mandarin Duck Butterfly Dream" only sold 110,000 copies, a whole 10,000 copies less! In Lin Jianguo's mind, this is more than 70,000 yuan less! Although the recent income of the cloud world is in the millions, Lin Jianguo, who is used to living a hard life, still habitually calculates and carefully selects some details.

"It's normal, this album was supposed to sell a gust of wind, and this gust of wind is blowing so hard now, it's good enough, we can't ask for more for this album." Du Xinghe's mentality has always been very flat, and he persuaded Lin Jianguo.

"That's right, this album has already made us a lot of money." Lin Jianguo asked again: "How much did "Little Bird" sell yesterday? ”

""Little Bird" ...... "Little Bird" ......" Du Xinghe compared the daily sales list with his fingers, found the column of "Little Bird", and read: ""Little Bird" sales were very slippery yesterday, only 9,055 copies were sold, not even 10,000 copies, how did you do it? ”

Du Xinghe found that the sales of "Little Bird" suddenly fell very sharply, and this month, Little Bird can sell about 30,000 copies a day. But on the 29th, "Little Bird" only sold more than 9,000 copies, which is the lowest single-day sales of "Little Bird" in the past few months.

Lin Jianguo was also surprised when he heard this sales: "Why did it decline so quickly, his grandmother!" It seems that this month's "Little Bird" will not be able to break through one million sales, and the continuous record of breaking 100 is coming to an end. ”

"Well, there are still two days to count, and if the sales of "Little Bird" can't pick up, the record of breaking 100 in a row will really come to an end."

Since the debut of "Little Bird", it has exceeded one million sales for three consecutive months, which has set a historical record for single albums, and there has never been a single album whose sales have exceeded one million for three consecutive months, although there are a few very special single albums, such as disaster relief public welfare single albums, the total sales are much higher than "Little Birds", but those are all gust of wind sales, and the sustainability is far worse than "Little Bird". If "Little Bird" can sell more than one million for four consecutive months, it will continue to set a record for zĂ o. And it has sold more than one million copies for four consecutive months, which is not an easy thing to do for a complete album.

Lin Jianguo calculated that the monthly sales of "Little Bird" as of the 29th should be about 960,000 copies, and there are still two days of statistical time on the 30th and 31st this month. But in these two days, there is only one day of actual sales time, that is, tomorrow on the 31st, Lin Jianguo said: "Do you want to find Luo Haichao, and brush the sales of "Little Bird" tomorrow, I estimate that if you brush 10,000 more copies, "Little Bird" will be able to break 100 this month and continue the legend." ”

"There's no need. Luo Haichao and they are busy promoting "Mandarin Duck Butterfly Dream", and they probably don't have the energy to take care of "Little Bird" anymore. If he wants to help us brush, he will take the initiative to brush, let's just mention it, let it be. "Little Bird" has set so many records, almost. Du Xinghe also watched "Little Bird" very openly, after all, no album can sell forever, even if the singer's "When I Wake Up" dominated eight months later, there will be a day when he will be left behind.

"Don't be the same, it's an honor! I'll call Luo Haichao when I go back, if it's convenient to brush, let's brush "Little Bird", and let's pay for it ourselves. "Lin Jianguo is very generous in this kind of thing.

Du Xinghe said with a smile: "Then you can do it, don't be difficult with Luo Haichao's strongman." ”

"I get it. You don't care. ”

"Gotcha. The sales are all over, you don't have anything else to do, right? Du Xinghe rubbed his empty stomach and said, "I'm a little hungry, I've been busy all night, and I'm about to call for supper." If you're okay, I'll hang up the phone and call for supper. ”

"Don't hang up, don't hang up! I have important things to tell you! ”

"What's important?" Lin Jianguo said that the tone of big and small things was the same. All seem particularly heavy. So Du Xinghe didn't know how important it was when he suddenly said this important thing, maybe it was that kind of trivial matter. Blind mind-type.

Du Xinghe guessed wrong this time, Lin Jianguo really had something more important to tell him: "This matter is related to "Little Bird", didn't I tell you before I came to Xiangjiang, I have a few friends here, and they are also engaged in the entertainment industry, I met them today, they intend to help our "Little Bird" release the Cantonese version in Xiangjiang and Guangzhou, what do you think?" ”

"What a good thing! How strong are your friends? Is it a company that specializes in record distribution? ”

"They mainly make movies, they are film companies, Uniasia Pictures, have you heard?" Lin Jianguo asked Du Xinghe.

"I've heard that! This is one of the top ten film companies in Xiangjiang, and the part of the film "No Bones" that has just been released recently is made by their company! "Du Xinghe has only watched "No Bones" for a long time, and he is very impressed by the black sun-shaped Uniasia Pictures logo at the beginning of the movie.

"Yes, yes, yes, they made "No Bones". Lin Jianguo was suddenly stunned and said, "Hey? Listening to your kid's tone, it seems that I've already watched this film, isn't this film a classified film, ten-eight-forbidden, where did you watch it? ”

"Don't worry about this, don't talk about the interruption, those friends of yours are from Uniasia Entertainment?" Du Xinghe brought the topic that Lin Jianguo wanted to diverge back on.

"Yes, my friends are all from Uniasia, not high-level, but they can be useful. One of the brothers is the producer of Uniasia Records, a subsidiary of Uniasia Entertainment. It was he who wanted to help us release the Cantonese version of "Little Bird". ”

Du Xinghe has heard of Plaza Premium Records, which is a very large-scale record company in Xiangjiang, and many local singers in Xiangjiang have signed Plaza Premium Records.

Most of the movie stars under Uniasia Pictures who take the amphibious route are also signed singers of Uniasia Records.

Just like Liang Sichao who was in "Music Turns Around", the record contract was signed to Uniasia, and he is also an actor trained by Uniasia Pictures.

Du Xinghe said to Lin Jianguo with satisfaction: "It would be great if Huanya could act as an agent to release the Cantonese version of "Little Bird". What conditions do they have? You won't sign a very harsh sharing clause with us, right? ”

"That can't be! Don't you know what I'm doing, only we hack others, no one else hacks us, my friends also know my style, the agency he talked to me about this time is very suitable, we don't have to pay money, just give them the Cantonese version of "Little Bird" well, they will be responsible for all the publicity and distribution work and expenses of "Little Bird" in Xiangjiang and Guangzhou, and the initial publicity fee is set at 3 million, which can be discussed. ”

"I'll go, your friend is so generous? 3 million as soon as it was released, this is a single album! For a single album, the Cantonese publicity and distribution cost of 3 million is quite high, so much so that Du Xinghe thinks that the other party wants them to make "Little Bird" into a complete version of the Cantonese album and then re-promote it.

"He knows it's a single, don't worry. The Chinese version of "Little Bird" is selling so hot, and the Cantonese version of 3 million publicity and distribution fees are not high, I still want to talk about it again! They don't want to pay 5 million for publicity, and I don't want to send them yet! ”

"You say this is outrageous, it's insincere. The Cantonese version is not as widely distributed as the Chinese version, and 3 million is already a very high publicity fee, which is considered a red star, and people can pay 3 million, which is very sincere. ”

"No, you don't know, they have another condition. If it was just to help us release "Little Bird", I would definitely sign it with them without saying a word for 3 million. This issuance contract is worth it to us! But after they helped us release "Little Bird", they also made a request to us, that is, to ask you to help their company's Yuan Xiaotian make an album. ”

"Huh?"

Du Xinghe was stunned when he heard it, he had just watched "No Bones", and he was very impressed by Yuan Xiaotian, this guy is a young handsome guy, he looks like Ekin Cheng in the previous plane, and his voice is a bit like Ekin Cheng, so that when he saw the movie poster of "No Bones", he thought it was the young version of Brother Hao Nan who came over to act in this movie!

"Yuan Xiaotian, do you know each other? is the starring role of "No Bones". Lin Jianguo introduced Du Xinghe: "Recently, this kid has become popular in Xiangjiang, Huanya is ready to strike while the iron is hot, release a record for him, let him develop in multiple habitats, and prepare to train him to become the next multi-habitat king like Chen Yuezhou!"
