Chapter 299: Ready for Release

In 2003, the price of the album increased a lot compared to before the millennium.

For a standard CD, ordinary singers are priced at more than 20 yuan, and some famous singers can be sold for hundreds of yuan.

As soon as Jingwen came up, it was half lower than the lowest price, which really scared a lot of pirates.

Because of this thing, even the cost of burning a pirated copy will not be much lower than that of a genuine copy.

It's just that the record company and the singer themselves still have the cost of album production, and if they want to recover their costs as soon as possible, they must increase the price.

Then with the help of the singer's fame, attract everyone to buy.

And that's where the piracy comes in.

You have a production cost for the genuine version, and you need to ensure the quality of the album, but I don't need it.

You want to earn 10, 20, or even 7 or 80 yuan by virtue of your reputation as a singer.

I don't want much, I only earn half of you, and it's enough for me to eat a full stomach.

But now, Jingwen has directly shown that I can't make this money, so it's better to give fans a benefit, but I just don't let you make money from piracy.

And the pirates still have no way to use this trick.

For piracy, the cost of transportation and sales is the main one.

In case the goods are checked again, it can be said that even the pants will be lost.

In this way, they have to consider whether the benefits can cover up the risks.

And in terms of newcomer albums, they will be cautious and wait-and-see.

Therefore, if Chen Shuo's album implements the company's low-price strategy, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.

In particular, if the unit price is low, the sales volume will definitely go up.

If you can really achieve a gold record or a platinum record, it is definitely worth writing about.

Not to mention the lack of money, the real honor is here.

With this achievement and honor, the next album will definitely not sell as long as the quality is up to standard.

On May 6, "Young King" aired its 11th episode.

In this episode, Sang Qiuyu, Wesley, Bai Su and others enter the imperial tomb to crack the secret of the jade tablets and sarcophagus.

Because it touched the mechanism, the imperial tomb fell, and Master Sun and others died in the magma.

And Sang Qiuyu, in order to escape for his life, threatened Bai Su's life and asked him to tell the password to activate the sarcophagus.

Seeing that the cave was about to collapse, Sang Qiuyu activated the sarcophagus as Wesley said, turning into a white light and dissipating.

At this moment, Sang Qiuyu's character was stuck, and the progress bar suddenly pulled to 93%.

When an episode is over, most viewers are speculating beyond discussing the final teaser.

Where did Sang Qiuyu go, and whether he would come back.

At the same time of discussion, it is inevitable that he will sort out what he has done in these ten episodes to define what kind of person he is.

On the second day, when Chen Shuo got up, he saw that the progress bar had reached 96%.

There is even an upward trend.

It seems that it is likely to exceed 98% of Zhu Yunwen.

But Chen Shuo couldn't help but feel a little pity.

If he could, he wanted the role to settle directly here.

After all, he really has to wait until after the broadcast, and he doesn't know how much the progress bar will drop.

If it falls below 90%, then he has one less talent option.

It's just that this ability is not transferred by his will, and he can only hope that in the last episode, he can keep the progress bar for him.

With the rising results of "Young King", Jiang Xuerou and they also have the intention to take advantage of this momentum to attract the ratings of "Crystal Love".

Therefore, next, Zhou Ping joined forces with the Magic Capital TV Life Fashion Channel to start promoting "Crystal Love".

Seeing this, He Zhengyang also contacted Zhou Ping and prepared to launch Chen Shuo's album "Once the Most Beautiful" at the same time.

In the end, it was decided to try to publicize and distribute as much as possible in the imperial capital circle by virtue of the company's relationship.

And he went to the magic capital with Chen Shuo and promoted it in Gusu, Lin'an and other places.

As for Guangdong Province, I could only give up temporarily and ship 10,000 albums over.

After deciding, Chen Shuo came to Wang Jinsong's office with a stack of albums.

"What is this?" Wang Jinsong asked as he looked at him holding a stack of things.

"My album." Chen Shuo put things on the table and said, "How can I say that my album also has the credit of teachers, classmates and seniors from the directing department and photography department.

The company asked me to give it to my teachers and classmates as a souvenir. ”

Wang Jinsong looked through it, and there were two vinyl records, 20 CDs, and 20 tapes.

Asked, "How much did you make on this album?" ”

"Not much." Chen Shuo replied: "There are only 2,000 vinyl records, and the main thing is to keep a thought, not to focus on it.

The main focus is on CDs and tapes, and it is expected that 100,000 copies will be burned in succession, and if they can be sold out within a month, then they will be burned again.

If I can't even sell these 200,000 copies in three months, then my road as a singer will be bumpy.

Of course, I don't burn that much now, and when the time comes, I will decide how much to burn based on the sales of the first week. ”

Wang Jinsong calculated that the cost of production and distribution of 200,000 CDs and tapes was about 200,000 to 300,000 yuan.

If it can be sold out within a month, it means that the total sales of this album can reach about 500,000.

In the end, it should be able to make a profit of nearly one million, four or five times the profit.

For a newcomer, this is already quite a good result.

Next, Jingwen will definitely push Chen Shuo as well.

"Are you ready to start promoting it next?" Wang Jinsong asked as he took out a leave slip.

Chen Shuo nodded and said, "Yes, I am going to go to the Demon Capital to promote it next, and at the same time, in a few days, the company's drama will officially start filming."

At that time, I may just stay on Gusu's side and finish filming. ”

"What did Director Zhang say?" Wang Jinsong watched Chen Shuo write a leave note, picked up the teacup and took a sip and asked.

"The role has been decided, but the script hasn't been changed yet, and I don't know how it will be." Chen Shuo handed him the written leave slip and said, "I asked Director Zhang about it, and if you want to start the machine, you will probably have to wait until August and September."

We have 30 episodes of this drama, and we will shoot it for a maximum of three months, so we won't delay there. ”

"Okay, you just have to know it yourself, and don't forget to take the exam at the end of the semester."

"Understood, teacher."

The two talked again, and Chen Shuo said goodbye and left.

Back in the dormitory, he gave the other CD to Zhu Yawen and others.

After all, they were also involved in the production of the album and did not take a penny.

Give them a copy to keep as a souvenir.

In addition to them, Ning Hao and a group of seniors also have them.

Among them, Zhu Yawen is the happiest, and the MV of "My Favorite Person" is starring him and Wang Jia.

It felt like a little movie.

Moreover, when Ning Hao first filmed, he really shot according to the specifications of the short film.
