Chapter 68: Rich
In the evening, the imperial capital Fang Yan's house-
"Xiaoyan, I want to eat strawberries, you go out and buy me some."
"Xiaoyan, it's been cold lately, I want to drink chicken soup, you remember to do it tomorrow night."
"Xiaoyan, my neck hurts a little, you can pinch me."
β¦β¦
After Fang Yan came back from Hoh Xil yesterday, he was given ten days of rest, and he would go to cut the film after the rest was over. At first, he thought that he could lie at home and enjoy happiness, but he didn't expect to be called by Fang Yao.
"Sister, I finally have a few days off, can't you let me work less?"
Fang Yan was instructed by the old lady to come and go, and finally couldn't help but complain.
"Stinky boy, you're good at it, you're not happy to do such a little work!"
"No, I'm very tired from filming outside, can you take care of me?"
"Hmphβlet me take care of you, who will take care of me?"
When Fang Yao said this, he glared at Fang Yan fiercely: "Some people are really good at throwing their hands and being in charge, and they use their old sister as a coolie, and they don't know how distressed they are!"
Hearing this, Fang Yan immediately blushed and coughed twice in embarrassment.
"Alas...... I'm so busy at work every day that I can't even hear a good word when I get home, it's really chilling to think about. β
Fang Yao pretended to be heartbroken, making Fang Yan speechless for a while.
Speaking of which, Fang Yan was really a bit unauthentic, he had fooled Fang Yao to the imperial capital, and the big and small things of the two companies were basically pushed to each other.
"Sister, it's me who is wrong, I shouldn't leave everything to you." Fang Yan clasped his hands together and said sincerely apologizing.
"The company is now on the right track, I will ask the headhunter to find a professional general manager, and you will not be so tired by then."
Fang Yao nodded with satisfaction and said, "It's about the same, you have a conscience!"
As the saying goes, professional people do professional things, for Fang Yao, what she is good at is financial work, and it is indeed a bit difficult to do management.
Whether it is Fulcrum Music or Spark Film and Television, if you want to develop and grow, you must have an excellent management.
If the company is compared to a ship, then Fang Yan is the captain and is responsible for setting the direction of the ship.
With the golden finger of future memory, Fang Yan knows very well which music, movies, and TV series can make money, and under his leadership, as long as the company operates normally, it will become the leading giant in the industry sooner or later.
However, no matter how strong the captain is, he still needs the assistance of the first mate. A capable general manager can save Fang Yan a lot of worry and allow him to spare more time to focus on his directing career.
"By the way, there's one thing I forgot to tell you."
Fang Yao patted his forehead and said with some excitement: "The album sales data for November has come out, and the sales volume of the "Courage" album is 1.2 million, which lives up to expectations and won the first place. β
"In addition to the album, the music cassette of "Courage" was also very popular, with 3.6 million sales.
After Fang Yan heard the news, he waved his arms excitedly: "Great, now we're going to get rich!"
When a music company releases an album or tape, the profit is about 35%-50% after deducting production costs, publicity and distribution fees, singer shares, sales shares, etc.
The price of the "Courage" album is 30 yuan, and the price of the tape is 15 yuan, if converted, Fulcrum Music Company should be able to earn about 30 million this time.
The only pity is that the peak of sales of music albums and tapes is in the first month, and when piracy is rampant later, the sales of genuine copies will plummet.
Fang Yao said with a smile: "Now many people have contacted the company and invited Tan Weiwei to go to a commercial performance, what do you think?"
In fact, the invitation to commercial performances was available after the "Courage" album just started to become popular, but Fang Yan asked the company to refuse.
There were two main reasons for the refusal:
1. At the beginning, the price of commercial performances was generally not high, only about 5-80,000, and Fang Yan felt that it was not the time.
As the album songs become more and more popular, commercial performance offers will definitely continue to rise, and a proper wait is not a bad thing.
Second, the company currently does not have security personnel, which is not enough to participate in commercial performances.
How deep the water of commercial performances is is completely unimaginable to ordinary people. It is common for Bai Yan not to give money and be forced to accompany him to drink, and even when he meets a local boss, it is possible to be asked to sleep with him.
In the industry, the payment of commercial performance fees is generally 50% after signing the contract, 25% on the day of the star's arrival and before the performance, and 25% after the performance.
Sometimes the organizer of the commercial performance will refuse to pay the final payment on the grounds that the effect is not satisfactory and the attendance rate is not good, and the star can only give up in many cases.
There are some gray areas in the commercial performance market in many third- and fourth-tier cities, and it would be good if you could save your life, so what money do you get?
Celebrities, especially female celebrities, must be equipped with security personnel to participate in commercial performances, and the more famous they are, the more security personnel they will be deployed.
It is important to note that the professional competence of security personnel is key, and even those who have served in the military are not necessarily suitable for protecting people.
For example, a certain former prime minister of the neon country, a bunch of security personnel, what 0.2 seconds kill people or something. However, after really encountering danger, no one reacts in time, what is the use of them being able to fight on their own?
"Sister, what is the current price of the commercial performance?"
"I want to think about it...... Basically, it was about 150,000, and the highest offer was 200,000, but the other party asked for a meal together in the evening. β
"Want to have a meal together? There are no doors! β
Fang Yan sneered and said: "If you have special requirements like this, don't go no matter how much money you pay, and refuse all of them in the future."
Although Fang Yan likes money, he will not let a girl take risks to make money for him.
"I see!" Fang Yao continued to ask, "Then do you agree to let Tan Weiwei perform commercially?"
"Well, we'll start recruiting security personnel tomorrow, as for the number......"
Fang Yan thought carefully for a while and said, "Let's recruit 3 people first, 2 are responsible for Tan Weiwei's protection during the performance, and one is responsible for following me."
Fang Yao immediately showed a look of contempt: "You kid is not a star, why do you want security personnel?"
"I'm a rich man now, so it's okay to hire a bodyguard, right?"
Fang Yan raised his eyebrows, pointed at himself and said, "Besides, when I become a big director in the future, my fame will not be smaller than that of a star."
"Okay, okay, you're the boss, you say."
Fang Yao sighed and said, "I have another matter to discuss with you, the company is rich now, should it be equipped with a car?"
"No problem, the two companies are matched together."
Fang Yan clapped his palms and said, "It just so happens that our family hasn't bought a car in the imperial capital, so let's take this opportunity to buy it together."
