The next day, after Chen Qiming came to the company, he went to Liu Ciwei for the first time and wanted to ask about the MV shooting.

Unexpectedly, Liu Ciwei was not there.

It wasn't until I asked my assistant Li Xiaomei that I knew that the company had contacted the heroine of the MV, and Liu Ciwei was going to pick her up at the airport.

"Airport?" Chen Qiming didn't care about this at first, but then reacted immediately.

It stands to reason that if the MV heroine invited by the company is from the treasure island, she shouldn't take a plane.

"Yes, when Ci Viagra went in the morning, he said that the other party seemed to be a star in Hong Kong."

Li Xiaomei replied.

"Do you know who it is?" Chen Qiming asked.

Li Xiaomei shook her head, indicating that she didn't know either.

Li Xiaomei didn't know that it was impossible for Chen Qiming to ask Ge Fuhong, who happened to be in the company today, for this trivial matter, so he could only wait in the company with curiosity.

However, Liu Ciwei has not come back yet, but Ge Fuhong took the initiative to find him.

Ge Fuhong's office, as soon as Chen Qiming came in, he saw Ge Fuhong holding a document and looking at it.

Seeing Chen Qiming coming in, she was not verbose, and directly handed the information to Chen Qiming.

"The company has decided to stop printing the EP "No Tide, No Money" from this weekend.

This is the sales data of this EP so far, you take a closer look, and then we find someone to reconcile the accounts, and the company will send you your money as soon as possible. ”

Hearing this, Chen Qiming was stunned, "It's not engraved, why is this?" ”

A record production company is not a charity, and basically every record, the company has to squeeze out the profits, and even sell it repeatedly.

Now, Ge Fuhong actually said that he would not engrave it.

Not engraving basically means not selling the record.

At present, although the sales of this EP are not as good as the week after its release, the data trend is still very stable.

In this case, it was not sold, and Chen Qiming couldn't understand what medicine Ge Fuhong was selling in this gourd for a while.

"Yes, no engraving." Ge Fuhong nodded, and then explained: "The reason why we don't continue to release this EP is not that we don't make money, but because we want to make money, we should stop selling this record for the time being." ”

Hearing this, Chen Qiming thought about it in his mind for a while, and an idea appealed, "Sister Ge, what do you mean, stop this EP to increase the fans' sense of anticipation for the follow-up official album?" ”

The three songs of the EP "No Tide, No Money" were all included in the official album "Trendy People".

In fact, to a certain extent, although the big sale of "No Tide, No Money" is a good thing, it also has a certain disadvantage, that is, it will share the market of official albums to a certain extent.

After all, these three songs have been included in the official album, and if the other songs on the album are not accepted by listeners, then the sales of the album will definitely decline, because they already have the three songs in the EP that they think are good, and there is no need to continue to spend more money to buy this official album.

Of course, Chen Qiming personally thinks that "Little Dimples" and "The First Experience of Love" will definitely be accepted by the audience.

But that's just his personal opinion.

Songs, if you don't put it on the market, you'll never know if it's popular or not.

Therefore, Ge Fuhong and they will worry that the sales of the official album will be bad because the EP sales are too good.

After all, the official album is about twice as expensive as the EP.

The same is to make money, to make more or less, fools will choose.

"Yes, because all three of your songs have been included in this official album, I doubt the audience will treat this official album as a compilation of our money." Ge Fuhong nodded and said.

The so-called compilation record is actually a kind of record that major record companies have withdrawn from in order to resell it and make money over the years.

Many record companies, after the singer becomes popular, often mix their famous songs with some bad songs and release them, which is called a compilation.

Although this kind of record will be paid for by many fans, there are also many people who hate this kind of record.

The most famous example on this side of Treasure Island is Teresa Teng.

Looking at her record release resume, you will find that she releases at least three or four albums a year.

But what!

These albums are all re-releases of old songs she has released in the past, re-released with some minor adaptations.

In the beginning, this kind of anthology was actually quite popular.

But one or two are fine, and fans who like her are willing to pay for it.

But when fans discover that the records they buy regularly don't have a single good new song, they develop a sense of disgust with the collections.

Obviously, the company is worried that Chen Qiming's official album will be considered a selection by fans.

"I know, since the company is ready to arrange it like this, I have no opinion."

Chen Qiming said and took the document handed over by Ge Fuhong.

He took a general look, and it was the sales data of the EP "No Tide, No Money" and the money he could get.

"No Tide, No Money" was released three weeks ago, with a total of 250,000 copies produced and printed, and 210,000 copies have been sold so far.

The 40,000 unsold records are not counted in this for the time being.

210,000 EP sales, of which 50,000 were CDs and 160,000 cassettes.

According to the contract between Fulong's agency and Fulong Records, Chen Qiming can get five yuan for a laser CD, and 50,000 copies can get 250,000 Taiwan dollars.

He can get two yuan for each tape, a total of 320,000 Taiwan dollars.

It adds up to a total of NT$570,000.

Then, the money will be divided into four or six parts, and sixty percent will be given to Fulong Brokerage Company. (PS: Although Fulong Records is a subsidiary of Fulong Records, the accounts between the two are to be separated, the protagonist belongs to Fulong Records, and then made this record with Fulong Records, so no matter how Fulong Records and UFO are divided, the protagonist's money is taken from Fulong Records, and then after taking it, as a brokerage company, Fulong Brokerage Company will take sixty percent of him.) ）

Well, after some calculations, Chen Qiming found that he didn't actually get much money, only 228,000 Taiwan dollars.

If this money is converted into Hong Kong dollars and renminbi, it is actually only 50,000 or 60,000 yuan.

Although deep down I have a feeling that I have too little.

But Chen Qiming still gladly accepted this income.

After all, as far as the current treasure island is concerned, this is the usual operation.

All artists are basically like this, unless Chen Qiming chooses to jump out of the company and go it alone.

But to be honest, these days, there is no backer, and it is obviously unrealistic to want to rely on talent to create a world by yourself.

But fortunately, although the income on the record is not much, Chen Qiming still has a lot of shares in the endorsement fee of Sanyang Group, and this year's 3 million Taiwan dollars endorsement fee, excluding 60% of Fulong's brokerage, Chen Qiming has 1.2 million Taiwan dollars.

Together, Chen Qiming received a total income of NT$1.48 million.

Overall, for Chen Qiming, this money is still relatively easy to earn.

NT$1.48 million, which is already equivalent to the annual salary of many senior white-collar workers on Treasure Island.
