It's a new day, today Chengxin stayed at home honestly, teasing the little parrots and parrots, waiting for the mobile phone to ring.

How did he know that someone was going to call him today?

You know, today is Monday, and Tang Yongke called last week and said that he would be informed of the sales of foreign language albums on Monday this week.

Therefore, Chengxin, who was idle, stayed at home to tease the cat and dog, waiting for the other party to call him.

Sure enough, at ten o'clock, the phone rang, and Chengxin just glanced at the caller ID and connected the phone.

"Mr. Tang, good morning."

"Haha, Chengxin, you're okay."

"It seems that you have been guarding your mobile phone and waiting for me to call you, and you answered me in a few seconds."

As soon as Cheng Xin finished speaking, Tang Yong's voice immediately came from his mobile phone.

"Hehe, Mr. Tang, of course, today is the first week of sales of my foreign language album, of course I have to wait to hear about the sales."

This is true, after all, sales are money, and no one can get along with money, right?

"Hahahaha, I thought you wouldn't care about album sales."

"I originally wanted you to guess the sales, but since you've been waiting for a long time, then I won't let you guess."

"As of yesterday, the total sales of your foreign language album in the world, except for China, were 2.856 million, and there was still a gap of 100,000 to 300."

"How much?"

Chengxin felt as if he had misheard.

“！

In the first week, 2,856,000 copies were sold. ”

Tang Yong was speechless for a while, and then hugged Chengxin again.

"Ah, so many?"

Now, Chengxin was sure that he heard it correctly, and at the same time was shocked by this number?

You must know that abroad, he can only be regarded as a newcomer singer who can't be newer, and he has no fame at all, relying on global publicity.

Moreover, now in the Internet era, many people will only listen to songs on their mobile phones, after all, this is convenient, isn't it?

Unexpectedly, the sales of CD albums in the first week could break two million, reaching nearly three million.

With this number, in the Internet era, no new singer can reach this level, at most only a million, and there may still be water in it.

Don't underestimate millions, singers who can reach this level when they are newcomers will undoubtedly become superstars in the future.

Chengxin also thought about the sales volume, and after learning that the reservations exceeded one million, he only dared to think about the offline sales in the first week of hundreds of thousands.

And the actual sales volume is actually an astonishing more than one million.

Together with the pre-sale, a total of more than two million, I can't think of it.

"Hahaha, how is it, surprised, surprised? Was it unexpected? ”

For Chengxin's shock, Tang Yong had expected it a long time ago.

When he got this data, he immediately thought that he had made a mistake.

It's been a few years, and no one can be sure in this era in the face of more than two million first-week sales.

Two thousand years ago, that is, in the eighties and nineties, maybe this sales volume was just above average.

But now in the Internet era, those world-renowned superstars, the first week sales of an album are only one or two million sales, and there are basically no more than that.

For the sales of this album, it completely scared the people around the world.

Although they are quite confident in the quality of Chengxin's album, they have given an estimated sales of five million copies.

But the total number of bookings in the early stage and offline sales in the first week is almost 3 million.

This sales made Universal both surprised and regretted, why is this album not owned by its own artists?

If you are an artist under your own umbrella, as long as you are not a superstar, you can't occupy the majority of the share? That's a lot of Franklin.

This staggering first-week sales gave the management of the world a little idea.

"Hahaha, Mr. Tang, it's really beyond my expectations, it seems that this album won't let me lose money."

This is a half-truth.

The sales volume was beyond Chengxin's expectations, and as for the loss, he never thought about it.

Although it took a few million dollars to make this album, plus five million dollars in pocket, a total of more than 30 million.

However, Chengxin is very confident in his plagiarism.

"Hahahaha, aren't you very confident? Dare to pay five million US dollars, how can you still think about losing money? ”

"You won't lose money if you lose money, and in the current situation, there is no problem in earning tens of millions of dollars."

"Congratulations, congratulations, hahahaha."

Tang Yong smiled and congratulated Chengxin.

"Hehe, happy and happy, everyone earns."

Cheng Xin replied with a smile, and then the two began to blow each other for a while.

"Brother Chengxin, I'm calling you today, in fact, there is another thing I want to ask you, this is the task assigned to me by the headquarters."

After chatting for a while, Tang Yong suddenly said.

"Eh, the world has something to ask me, Mr. Tang, you say."

Chengxin didn't care, thinking that it should be the global side to see the high sales, and wanted to let himself participate in some offline publicity.

"Hehe, then I'll just say it, that's the case, the headquarters over there, I look at your album very much."

"So I want to ask you, can we buy the rights to your album all at once?"

"Don't worry, the price will definitely not let you lose."

A one-time buyout? Hehe, the eyes of the world are red? Cheng Xin couldn't help but think.

However, Chengxin will not have any objection to the buyout, as long as the price is right.

It's like the first time a song was put on the shelves, if there was one or two million on the penguin side at that time, Chengxin would never hesitate a little, and directly packaged it for sale at one time.

"Hehe, Mr. Tang, how much money do you plan to pay to buy out this album?"

It's useless to think about it, listen to the other party's offer first.

"Okay, then I'll tell you about the offer from Universal.

"For your album, the offer given by the headquarters is still considerable, and it is divided into three in total.

"The first is CD, and the group gives 40 million."

"Second, the copyright of online downloads, this is given a little less, a total of 20 million."

"The third is to buy out the cost of 10 million, and buy out all the copyrights of all the songs on your album."

"That adds up, it's $70 million, and of course that's not including taxes."

70 million US dollars, which seems to be a lot, but for Chengxin's best-selling album, Universal is not afraid that it will not make money after the buyout.

Not to mention the rest, the CD sold 40 million, and as long as this album sells 4 million copies, it will not lose money.

After four million, for each more than one, they get a net profit of close to ten dollars.

Based on their estimated sales, they can make a lot of money.

Not to mention online downloads, where they completely want to make a lot of money.

After all, the price they gave was not high, 20 million, for Chengxin's twelve songs of very good quality, it was completely the price of cabbage.

It is also important to know that in Europe and the United States, the income from the album is not lost after a period of time.

A good song, but it has always been able to bring continuous profits to the owner of the song, or the company, even if it hangs, there will be benefits, as long as someone listens to it.

Moreover, the song itself can also be licensed to others to sing, as long as the song is good, the licensing fee is a lot of income.

These add up, even if the world calculates 100 million, it can still earn a lot, which is much more cost-effective than sharing.

"Taxes not included? So Mr. Tang, how is the tax collected in the beautiful country? ”

70 million US dollars, Chengxin thinks it's okay, this is more than 400 million in Chinese dollars, which is not much different from the batch of songs he put on the shelves in China.

"Hehe, Chengxin, the capital gains tax on the beautiful country is 20 percent, so even after the tax, you will have 56 million US dollars.

Tang Yong didn't even count it, so he reported the actual number that Chengxin could get.

"More than 50 million, a little little, Mr. Tang, I have nothing to disagree with the more than 40 million CDs, and the 10 million bought out will also be settled.

"But, you opened an Internet download of 20 million, I can't accept this price."

"If nothing else, just my songs, each one should be good, not the kind of album that is indiscriminate."

"So, I can't accept the price."

Although Chengxin is quite satisfied with the price, it is impossible for the other party to offer, so he will agree, right?

Therefore, Chengxin holds whether there is fish or not, first cast a net to see, what if there is a big fish?

And the other party can't be at the bottom of the road as soon as he comes out, right? That's impossible, they're all smart people, otherwise he would have gone out of business.
