Chapter 175 173. Is traffic such a terrifying thing?
On the Internet, Zou Jielun's new album has been hyped up:
[Wow, have you listened to Zou Jielun's new album, especially the song "Narclaw", which is really amazing. I still hum in my mind now.]
[Hahaha, who said no? My God, this album is really amazing. It has just been released for a few days. I went to the audio and video store for a long time but couldn't find it. When I asked the boss, the boss said that it was sold out and I had to wait for the next purchase.]
[In comparison, I think I am quite happy. I bought Zou Jielun’s new album and now I have to listen to it 20 times a day.]
[You don’t know, although I didn’t buy it, my buddy in the dormitory bought it. I’m humming there every day. I’m not brainwashed by Zou Jielun, I’m brainwashed by my roommate.]
[No, no, no, I can't help but shake my legs when I listen to this song, and I can't help but calm down and study]
[Hahaha, same as above. I am also a leg shaking party.]
[My mother, my roommate, after listening to "Narcuse", went straight to buy a pair of nunchakras and came back. This morning, he swelled his back.]
【Hahahaha, my god, this is too funny, right?】
...
Compared to the first release of the film, Zou Jielun's "Fantasy" can be described as being popular this time.
One week after the release of the film, the album sold over 100,000 on Baodao, which was even more exaggerated on the mainland, and it has been steadily improving all the way to 500,000.
You should know that at that time, there were very few artists who could release more than 500,000 films in the first week.
Those who can exceed 1 million are already considered superstars in the music industry.
Now Zou Jielun has a vague potential as a superstar.
The main reason is that Zou Jielun is very talented, and Fantesey's album is very classic. The two songs in it, "Love in B.C." and "Narcuse" are simply too popular. The brainwashing song has reached the point where people can hum a sentence or two even if they have never bought his album.
On the other hand, since the first album in 2001, Zou Jielun has been living with the album "Jay" for a long time. Although the first album did not receive high sales, it laid the foundation for its popularity later.
People who did not understand R&B and did not like R&B gradually fell in love with the international music of Zou Jielun, which had a Chinese style.
At the same time, more and more people like his songs.
It's precisely because
In KTV, more and more people click Zou Jielun's songs.
If there is no latest KTV's hottest songs from Fantesy on the playlist, then this KTV is not considered a qualified KTV.
...
When Brother Xian heard about this, he was furious.
Last year, Zou Jielun's total album sales were only 270,000 copies, and he could sell it to 600,000 in the first week of this year.
No one can predict this result.
Although Brother Xian liked Zou Jielun's music very much, when he saw the results, he was a little suspicious, thinking that Zou Jielun's songs were a bit too ideal and not commercial enough.
As a result, I was slapped in the face as soon as I sold it.
Now think about it, if you hold Zou Jielun for a long time, will you make more money than selling it?
According to the current trend, it should be a matter of time before Zou Jielun’s album “Fantasy” exceeds 1 million.
Even if the profit is not 50 million, it will look like 20 million.
This is the first one since Bomi acquired it, and the sales of future albums may be better.
If Zou Jielun can continue to produce high-quality works, it may lead to a wave of Zou Jielun's passion in the future.
But when people around him asked, Brother Xian could only say, "Who could think of it? At that time, Zou Jielun could make money by the entire Alpha, and I didn't want to sell it, but there was really nothing I could do."
...
In fact, Brother Xian probably has fewer ones.
All of these are just the sales of Fantesey CDs, and a large part of them comes from KTV.
In 2002, there was no such thing as the Audio and Collection Association.
Audio-Video Copyright Association, China Audio-Video Copyright Co-management Association, abbreviated as China Audio-Video Copyright Association, the full English name of China Audio-Video Copyright Association, abbreviated as CAVCA.
The Audio and Video Program Association was established in 2005. It is the only audio and video collective management organization in my country officially approved by the State Copyright Administration. It implements collective management of the copyright of audio and video programs and copyright-related rights in accordance with the law.
Only after the Audio and Collective Association was established, they would entrust Tianhe Culture to collect karaoke copyright fees.
The Audio and Collective Association is responsible for authorization, and Tianhe Culture is responsible for charging. The two form a KTV song copyright charging system.
Then if all KTVs want to obtain the authentic authorization of the song, they have to buy it with Tianhe Culture, or ask the Audio and Music Association for authorization, otherwise it will constitute an illegal act. If they are caught, they will be sued for one sentence and will lose all their money.
So in 2002, there was no Audio and Collection Association, so KTV could only find a record company to buy authorization.
Alpha Records sold tens of millions of dollars with the authorization to sell KTVs alone, which is another large amount of revenue.
In other words, in just over a month, Zou Jielun alone generated at least 100 million in revenue for Alpha Records.
Excluding issuance and production costs and tax deductions, the company will have a net profit of at least 30 million yuan.
This is already a considerable income for record companies.
When Fantesey came out at the beginning, few KTVs purchased the copyright of Alpha, but gradually, when KTV found that young people nowadays always asked if there were any songs by Zou Jielun when they didn't, they just turned to the next company, and the bosses of KTV could not sit still.
This phenomenon has been formed in the industry:
If your KTV does not have Zou Jielun’s songs, then you are already out of date.
If your KTV does not have Zou Jielun's songs, it means you will lose competitiveness in the industry, at least in this street.
And your customers will become less and less, and in the end you will find that they all went next door.
Because there is Zou Jielun's song next door.
So in the end, everyone had to buy authorization from Alpha Music.
This is an incopy.
Fortunately, many KTVs are chain stores, and only need to buy a set of song libraries for the parent company, so all chain stores can use it, which saves a lot of costs.
Of course, there are also those who directly pirated without buying authorization. This kind of KTV is an illegal act. As long as the music company sues it, the KTV will have to pay a lot of money.
...
In September, Zou Jielun's sales exceeded 700,000 mark. If this goes on, it should be a dream to get 1 million.
Yang Junrong reported the good news to Cao Yang, and he laughed happily on the other side of the phone.
"Thanks to President Cao's strong support, we can have such a strong momentum for posting movies. Fortunately, Jielun's performance is very good, which can be considered a reward for the company."
Cao Yang rolled his eyes in his heart.
This is more than just a reward?
This is a huge profit, right?
However, this achievement is relatively similar to the record industry. Compared with the game, the profit of the record is still a little smaller, and the profit is far less than that of the game.
"We are now preparing for Zou Jielun's concert at the end of the year, and it should be able to sell well by then," said Yang Junrong.
"Okay, just make a decision." Cao Yang still believed in Yang Junrong's ability.
If it weren't for Yang Junrong's guidance in his previous life, Zou Jielun wouldn't have grown up so fast.
It can be said that Brother Xian is Zou Jielun's mentor, and Yang Junrong is Zou Jielun's mentor. It is Yang Junrong who truly discovered Zou Jielun's strength and successfully helped him to build him into a dazzling superstar.
A large part of the singer's income comes from album sales, and the other big head is the concert.
A concert is equivalent to a tornado to attract money. In my previous life, the lowest price of Zou Jielun’s concert was directly hyped up to tens of thousands of yuan. It can be said that every show is full and it is hard to get a ticket.
After a concert, it is no problem to make about tens of millions.
It is a common practice to earn several hundred million a year.
"By the way, Brother Yang, the album is almost at a bottleneck period now, right?" Cao Yang asked on the phone.
Records are similar to stand-alone games. They were both big in the past few months, but there are also singers with good reputation and the benefits brought by the long-tail effect later are higher.
"Well, it's almost done. After this month, sales volume should be reduced a lot. The more you go, the fewer and fewer records will be sold, and finally stabilized within a range." Yang Junrong said.
"Then I plan to launch QQ music on the Internet next month so that users can listen through this software, and it should be able to help you out." Cao Yang said.
"Okay Mr. Cao."
...
QQ Music has been developed and has passed several rounds of tests. There should be no problems with the functions.
If launched, this software will become the first online listening software in China.
Users can also download songs locally through QQ Music.
For traffic, Cao Yang will make some songs free, so that users will be more disseminated and will be more popular.
Of course, for some popular songs that are popular now, Cao Yang still adopts a fee system, just like future QQ music.
First, VIP is open part.
For those that are particularly popular, you need to pay to download it.
