Chapter 53 Zhou Yi, snipe
"What's wrong? Who released the album? And I called to tell you? β
Seeing Zhou Yi hang up the phone, Qian Jiang asked curiously.
There are only a few singers that Zhou Yi knows at present, and I haven't heard of anyone who has made a new album for sale.
"Jay Chou, you've also seen it, just the guy who was poisoned by gas before."
"Oh, it's the unlucky one."
Qian Jiang, who still remembered Zhou Yi saving people, suddenly recalled who the guy named Jay Chou was: "Can he sing?" β
has been under Wu Zongxian's hands for so long and has not debuted, are you sure it can work?
"If you can sing it, you won't believe it, go buy an album and come back and listen to it."
Zhou Yi, who sat up straight from the sofa, stretched out his hand to peel an orange, and said with a smile: "Help me buy ten more sheets, he also supported me last time, and the gifts are still exchanged." β
"Sounds like you're bullish on him."
Qian Jiang was a little surprised.
This is the second time Zhou Yi has shown this attitude towards a rookie singer.
The last rookie singer who was favored by Zhou Yi was named Zhang Shaohan, and now he has become a newcomer singer who is highly valued within Fumao.
"Huh? No, why are you optimistic about singers from other companies? Warner is the owner, right? β
Qian Jiang, who suddenly thought of such a thing, had a strange face.
"Who said that, wasn't I very optimistic about Sun Yanzi before she debuted." Zhou Yi, who was chewing orange petals, was so sour that his brows frowned slightly, and then silently handed the orange to his agent.
"Then you want to be optimistic, Sun Yanzi is a newcomer who was valued by Zhou Jianhui before you, and the entire album was tailor-made for her by Warnerββ"
The unsuspecting Qian Jiang stretched out his hand and just broke a petal and put it into his mouth, and the next second, the whole person's facial features were immediately deformed: "Damn!" β
Seeing that Zhou Yixiao, who was not the only one who was recruited, smiled brightly: "I bought it in the fruit store downstairs, and I went to them if I had a problem." β
Qian Jiang glared at him angrily: "I'll find you resources, and you're doing this to me?" Thanks to me, I've got another job for you. β
"What live? Who is singing the theme song again? Or where to run the notice? β
"No, it's to write a song for Sun Yanzi."
βοΌβ
"Don't doubt it, it's the company's decision, and they're going to release a new album for Yanzi in December while the iron is hot. It's not that you're a talented man in the company, Zhou Jianhui means to see if you have any ideas, and tailor a song for Yanzi. β
After listening to the reason, Zhou Yi raised his eyebrows and said in surprise: "She just finished one in June, right?" Why is this going to come out again? β
"You think that the treasure island market is so big, of course she has to take advantage of the victory to chase after it, not everyone starts like you and sells it at the same time across the Taiwan Strait."
Sun Yanzi, whose first album is missing the big market in the mainland, does not need to run back and forth like Zhou Yi, tossing back and forth, and will naturally be arranged to release a new album.
Qian Jiang, who poured a few mouthfuls of water, wiped the corners of his mouth: "Of course, the company means that you can also start preparing for the second album."
"Of course, they don't rush you, you can take your time to find creative inspiration, just say you can start preparing."
For Zhou Yi, a top all-in-one machine in the Chinese music scene who can write lyrics, compose and arrange music by himself, and can also set the theme of his own album, Zhou Jianhui still knows that he must give a considerable amount of creative space.
After all, singers can start singing after receiving the right songs, and singer-songwriters often have their own persistence and stubbornness. is typical like Tao Zhe, the album released at the end of last year was so popular, but people were stunned this year and there was no news of a new album at all.
"Also, now that you are free, you should start writing the song that Fumao has made up for you, for Zhang Shaohan. Fumao plans to bring Zhang Shaohan to market before Christmas, and has already received eight or nine songs that match her style and voice. β
Qian Jiang, who chatted and started working, immediately took out a notepad from his suit pocket: "Also, because of your popularity, there are already big international brands who want to contact you, and I am in preliminary negotiations with them." β
"A big international brand? I've only been popular for less than half a year, which person with lofty ideals has such a good vision? β
Zhou Yi, who thought that the first endorsement he would receive would be a mainland brand, was very surprised: "Baleno? β
"Coca-Cola and Pepsi."
ββ¦β¦β
I almost forgot about these two brothers, the top star harvester in the entertainment industry.
Zhou Yi, who heard that it was these two, suddenly became interested: "What about the price?" β
"The initial offer of both companies is four million, signed for four years. If you sign Pepsi, Pepsi will also arrange linkage with Wang Fei, Zhang Guorong and others.
"Coca-Cola doesn't have that advantage, but they promise to give you other promotional resources."
"What about sending Hanako? I've made over four million on an album so far. Give four million and sign for four years? Zhou Yi pursed his lips, obviously quite disdainful.
In this era, the speed at which famous singers make money still exceeds that of regular stars in the film and television field. Of course, the big names of the two Mondays are not among them.
Not only do people take more money, but they also get money faster.
Although the various parts of his album are recorded slowly, and the recording speed of various channels is also uncertain, so most of them are settled quarterly or semi-annually, but at present, after his own estimation and the company's accounting:
As of November 7, his album sales revenue and licensing income have exceeded 4 million yuan, and he is rapidly moving towards the 5 million mark.
Warners are ready to pay him a share of the revenue in advance.
Although the tax deduction will make Zhou Yi a little painful in the future, he still understands the bottom line that should not be touched.
Not to mention the future, Liu Xiaoqing, who was arrested in June this year for tax evasion, is still in prison, and he doesn't want to go in and sing behind bars together.
"That's what I talked to them about, it's not urgent, it's still in the first round of negotiations. Judging from the current situation, PepsiCo's willingness to increase the weight will be a little heavier. β
Pepsi ......?
Although Zhou Yi personally prefers to drink Coca-Cola, if Pepsi finally gives enough sincerity, he doesn't mind betraying it.
"In addition to these two international brands, there are also some domestic businesses that have made initial contact with us, such as Wahaha Group, which has also launched cola drinks, but the price is not too high.
"In terms of clothing, there is no news about the Baleno you just mentioned, but the domestic Jinba men's clothing is interested and has also contacted me. But the first round of offers is a bit low, and there are signs of talks collapsing at the moment......"
With Qianjiang's chatter, the details of endorsement contracts large and small were also revealed in front of Zhou Yi's eyes.
As an important part of the organization of celebrity income, the income of endorsement often determines how popular the artist is and how high the coffee position is.
At least Qian Jiang, who was born in Xiangjiang, thinks so, so he has been fighting for Zhou Yi to go higher.
When the two chatted until it was dark, Qian Jiang patted his head and prepared to leave: "I'll talk about endorsements, and you can write Zhang Shaohan's song as soon as possible." Sun Yanzi's song, if you can't write it, I can also come forward to be this villain, push it. β
Although it is the same company, if you need to be a villain, Qian Jiang is still very dedicated.
"There's no need for that, just tell them to come and get it tomorrow."
"Oh, tomorrowβhuh? Tomorrow? β
Zhou Yi nodded.
A "Fable", a "Green Light", a matter of minutes.
