Mid-October.

Qi Yuan and Zhou Hao took Jiang Qianye to Zhou Zhou's Three Stone Music.

Jiang Qianye's new album has already been recorded, and the MV is almost complete.

Now, the official release phase of the new album begins.

And Yuancheng Film and Television Company's album distribution capacity is zero.

So Qi Yuan contacted Zhou Zhou's side.

Three Stone Music has been established for more than ten years, and the entire album release process has been very mature.

From the binding, production and filling of albums, to the distribution of albums to audio-visual stores across the country, Sanshi Music is very experienced.

The three of them came to a conference room of Sanshi Music, where Zhou Zhou was already waiting.

"Brother Qi Yuan, I haven't seen you for a long time!"

Zhou Zhou also led a little girl who looked no more than twenty years old, a little short, but good-looking.

He introduced the little girl to Qi Yuan and said, "This is Huang Xuanya, a newcomer signed by our company, and her voice is very good. Xuanya, call people. ”

"Teacher Qi is good, Sister Jiang is good, Brother Zhou is good."

The little girl is very well-behaved.

Several people sat down.

Zhou Zhou spoke: "Brother Qi, according to the rules of our business, I need 20% of the revenue to help distribute Sanshi Music, you should know this, right?" ”

Zhou Zhou Hao answered: "Mr. Zhou, we naturally know this truth, we are very optimistic about the distribution ability of Sanshi Music, otherwise we would not choose to cooperate with you." ”

Zhou Zhou said: "I don't blow anything else, but I still have more experience than you in this album release, more than 90% of the large and small chain video stores in China have cooperated with me Sanshi, so you don't have to worry about the distribution of goods and publicity." ”

Zhou Zhou took a sip of water and continued: "But what I want to say, it's not this. ”

Qi Yuan said: "You have something to say. ”

"Xuanya, this kid, it's been almost three months since I signed in to our company, and I haven't released a single song, so I want to see if there is a suitable one here for Brother Qi, and see if I can write a song for Xuanya, so that she can also have the addiction of singing."

Zhou Zhou raised a hand and said, "Then Chiba's album, when the time comes, we only need the cost of one publicity, which is almost 5 million." ”

Here in Zhou Zhou, when Qi Yuan contacted him, he calculated it, and the initial publicity cost was about 5 million.

Albums are no better than movies, many movies often have tens of millions of publicity, and some are even higher than the production cost of the movie itself.

Qi Yuan and Zhou Zhou Hao glanced at each other, and Zhou Zhou Hao nodded slightly.

Qi Yuan said: "That's it, Mr. Zhou." I won't cheat you either. I'll write a song for Xuanya, and then Sanshi will take full charge of the promotion and distribution of Chiba's new album, and we will pay 3 million at a fixed price, and then the album income will be given 10% to you, what do you think? ”

Zhou Zhou said with a smile: "Brother Qi, let's put it this way, an album, just the cost of us pouring it out, is 2 yuan, and this also includes the binding and production of the album and so on." You already have the MV, but our advertising expenses in major stores, at least, have to start at 3 million. This is not counting our publicity on the Internet, or to participate in some programs, which is a lot of expense. I can't earn your money for this 5 million. ”

Qi Yuan glanced at it, sat aside, quietly looked at Jiang Qianye, who was talking about business, and said: "We can't save the publicity, of course the production cost is included in the cost, let's talk about this separately." ”

Zhou Zhou said: "That's it, Brother Qi, you see if this will work." If Chiba's album sells less than 5 million, then three million, I agreed, plus a song by Xuanya. If it can exceed 5 million, then if you exceed part of the income, you don't give me the market price, I just want 5%. ”

If 5 million albums are sold, the cost price of the disc alone is 10 million.

An album, just the production of the song itself, costs a lot of money.

is still here with Qi Yuan, he does it all by himself, and he doesn't have to give money to those songwriters.

filmed the MV, and millions of dollars were spent.

Now there is also the production and binding of the album itself, and it is several million.

There is also a publicity fee!

So in fact, you can't make a lot of money selling albums, and earning 5 yuan for an album is already very powerful.

The most important thing for singers is that after their songs become popular, they make money from commercial performances everywhere.

For example, because Qi Yuan became popular after "The Strongest Singer-Songwriter", but he has not participated in commercial performances, which has also made the price of his commercial performances rise layer by layer, and now it has reached the level of 1.2 million three songs.

After listening to Zhou Zhou's words on the weekend, he whispered in Qi Yuan's ear: "It's more reasonable, if you find another company, they won't want less than 15%." ”

Qi Yuan was silent for a while.

It's not good to go it alone.

In the past, when he was in Tianhao, he never worried about the release.

Tianhao's publicity and distribution ability is ranked first in the entire country.

Qi Yuan secretly set a goal in his heart, and when he waited for his new album to release this matter, Yuan Cheng must have the ability to do it.

"That's okay, Mr. Zhou."

signed a new album release contract with Sanshi, and Jiang Qianye seemed very excited.

Sitting in the car, his little face was flushed.

"Boss, this album, I am confident that it can break through 10 million sales."

Qi Yuan glanced at her and said, "Are you so confident? ”

"I'm not confident, I'm super confident in you, every song on the album is very good."

Qi Yuan smiled faintly, and said to the weekend of driving: "Lao Zhou, your task in the past two months is to find out all the channels and doors on the Sanshi side, and we have to do it ourselves in the future when the album is released." ”

The proceeds are divided into 5% of Sanshi, and if an album is sold for 50 yuan, if the cost is discarded, then Zhou Zhou's side can probably be divided into two cents and five.

Don't underestimate these two cents, if the album sales exceed 10 million, it will be millions of revenues!

"Okay! I'll follow their people, sort out the whole link, and when the boss releases the album, we'll do it ourselves! ”

On the weekend, I parked my car in front of the Happy Hotel.

Qi Yuan got out of the car and saw Gong Liang standing in front of his bun shop with a refreshed face.

"Yo! Teacher Qi! Gong Liang happily waved to Qi Yuan, "Do you want to join my store, I'll give you a friendly price!" ”

This kid seems to have been a little bit enlightened by the immortals in the bun in the past few months.

The steamed buns are very delicious, and now his Gong Ji steamed bun shop has opened five branches in the Western Capital, and this kid is thinking about opening branches all over the country.

As for the original purpose of his coming to the Western Capital a few months ago...... Long forgotten.
