Chapter 317 Shortcuts
It's half past six and it's not completely dark yet.
Shenzhen City Center Stadium, the outer square is packed with people.
Shen Guanchang, Shen's father, Shen's mother, Li's father, Li's mother, Li Ran, the six of them stood at the edge of the square, not in a hurry to squeeze in.
Mother Li looked around and sighed: "Today's young people really don't understand. They are willing to spend hundreds of dollars just to listen to a few songs."
Li Ran immediately said: "Mom, you don't understand this. Coming to the concert and listening to the music is just one aspect, the more important thing is to meet the idol himself."
Mother Shen took a breath and said, "With so many people, how much money can we make from such a show?"
Shen Guanchang replied: "At least 500,000."
Seeing the surprised expressions of his parents and Li's father and mother, Shen Guanchang counted on his fingers: "There are 15,000 seats in total. Even if the attendance rate is 90%, the average ticket is 350 yuan a ticket, and the box office is about 4.5 million. The singer If an individual can share 18 to 20 percent, that would be 7 to 8 million. If divided among the team, 500,000 is only a lot more."
He has been in the industry for almost half a year, and although he is not an accountant, he still has a clear understanding of the various profit-sharing plans for singers.
The four elders looked at each other with indescribable complexity in their eyes. Among them, Father Shen had the highest income. After working for more than 20 years, his total income was less than 500,000.
Li Ran blinked, his face full of gossip: "What about my brother?"
"If Li Fan holds a concert, his income will definitely not be lower than that of He Jingyun..."
Shen Guanchang was about to praise him greatly when Father Li coughed and looked at him.
Shen Guanchang realized something and immediately changed his mind: "Concerts are not guaranteed to make a profit. If there are few people coming to the concert and less than half of the tickets are sold, the singer will not get a penny."
After chatting for a while, the ticket check began at the entrance. As the crowd surged, six people also entered the square.
...
With He Jingyun's popularity, it would not be a big problem even if there are two venues for 15,000 people. If there is only one venue, it will naturally be overcrowded.
The inside of the stands was filled with people.
Shen Guanchang asked Xue Bing for the ticket, and there were six positions in the second row of area A of the infield.
Infected by the atmosphere, not to mention Li Ran's excited face, even the four elders who came to the concert for the first time were all a little excited.
At seven o'clock sharp, the concert starts.
Amid the melodious background music, a clear and somewhat ethereal voice seemed to come from the sky.
Immediately, under the intersection of four following spotlights, in the center of the stage, He Jingyun's white dress and silver crown slowly rose up on the lift, appearing in the eyes of the fans.
Suddenly, the whole place was in a state of excitement!
Father Li, Mother Li, Father Shen and Mother Shen both looked at the stage and then at the big screens on both sides of the stage. Mother Shen clicked her tongue and said, "I am more beautiful than in the photo."
Father Shen nodded in agreement and said with a smile: "Xiao Da, you are quite discerning."
Father Li and Mother Li looked at each other, then looked back at the cheering fans in the audience, their eyes were somewhat complicated.
...
Here, He Jingyun's concert is starting, and there is also a concert at Ye Yimeng Bar over there.
Ade started singing at six o'clock and lasted for two hours and a quarter, singing all nineteen songs.
When the last extended roar fell, Li Kai, Xu Qianqiu and others generously gave encouraging applause.
Xu Qianqiu praised: "It's amazing to be able to perform at this level in live singing. It's completely different from a newcomer who has just become a professional singer."
Li Fan nodded: "Compared to the first time I came here to sing a few days ago, there has been a significant improvement..."
After a while, look at Feng Mo: "After all, it is the guidance of a famous teacher, but it is different."
Feng Mo is also not modest: "Adelaide is very attentive, and several accompanists are also very attentive, but after all, the time is too short, and there are still some detailed flaws that need to be corrected."
Xu Qianqiu laughed and said: "Old Mo, don't be too demanding. The main thing about the concert is the atmosphere. As long as the atmosphere is there, it will be eighty percent."
"I'll go over and summarize it for them and talk about a few more points." After a few more discussions, Feng Mo clapped his hands, got up and walked towards the passageway backstage.
Xu Qianqiu served Li Kaiman a glass of wine: "Have you heard the news that the standards for singers in the industry are going to be adjusted?"
Li opened his eyes and flashed: "You also heard that when we were resting backstage at the concert yesterday, my manager just mentioned it to me. It shouldn't be so soon."
Xu Qianqiu mused: "It shouldn't take too long. There are indeed four kings and four queens in the industry now. Plus He Jingyun and you, once the movie is released, nine out of ten will be born."
, the tenth Heavenly King and Queen.”
"If it exceeds the first line too much, the gold content will decrease."
"In the 1980s, there were no more than three first-tier players in active service. In the 1990s, before 1995, there were only one person at most."
As he said that, he looked at Li Fan and said meaningfully: "In the past, unless a newcomer was highly favored by a giant record company, it would be great if his first test single could break 300,000 yuan in a single month. During the first contract period,
, if you can climb to the second line, you will be regarded as a rising star."
"Nowadays, newcomers dare to go on tour after releasing a single. A third-tier singer like Feng Zhihao, who has not been in the spotlight for several years, can step into the first-tier with just one song. The credibility of the singer's rank is no longer what it used to be."
Li Fan took a sip of wine and said with a smile: "Old Xu, are you praising me or disparaging me?"
"It's just based on my feelings." Xu Qianqiu shook his head: "From the rumors I heard, the threshold for surpassing the first-tier level will be raised to three and a half platinums, or even four hundred golds, and the threshold for the first-tier level will also be raised to double platinum."
"In this way, a large number of originally super first-tier, first-tier, and first-tier people will not change their grades, but their actual value will be reduced. For example, the price of commercial performances will drop from super first-tier to first-tier top-tier, and first-tier middle and lower reaches to second-tier standards."
"Therefore, the box office performance of singers who are currently on tour and who are about to start a winter tour is particularly important to them."
Xu Qianqiu took a sip of wine, narrowed his eyes, and emphasized: "Some singers not only do not make any money to earn praise, but are also willing to pay back."
Li Fan sensed something: "Old Xu, are you hinting to me that if someone invites me to be a guest at a concert again, they can sit on the floor and raise the price?"
Xu Qianqiu was noncommittal: "You can measure it yourself. Hua Can has just started and there are many channels that need to be explored. The most efficient way is through connections or exchanges."
After a pause, his voice slowed down: "Hua Ge has the most abundant advertising channels. Most singers in the circle below the first-tier and mid-level are insulated from advertising endorsements, but this is not the case with the five giants, especially Hua Ge. Even top-tier second-tier singers are all
I have the opportunity to endorse some small local brands.”
"Niso ranks first in performance channels. For three consecutive years in the Spring Festival Gala, Liu Mingliang has been the only male solo singer in pop songs. This is not only because of his popularity. In addition, on National Day, large-scale New Year's Eve parties, large-scale sports
Singing theme songs for competitions and theme songs for blockbusters, these top performance resources are all available to the five giants, and Nisso stands out."
"Becca is undoubtedly the number one record release and promotion channel. Apart from other things, have you ever paid close attention to the fact that there are basically no scandals among singers under Becca Records. Even if there are, they will be destroyed as soon as they have a spark. This is different from Becca.
Good relations with the media are not unrelated.”
"In the foreign record market, Hui Li Jing Records is undoubtedly the number one. Cantonese songs are obviously declining, but Hui Li Jing still vigorously cultivates Cantonese male and female singers, just for the Southeast Asian, Japanese and Korean markets."
After listing, Xu Qianqiu brought the topic back: "Although Hua Can is still just a studio, in my opinion, it already has the capital to exchange resources with giants."
"For example, if you serve as a guest at someone's concert by Hua Ge, and the condition is that you change two brands to endorse, Hua Ge may not trade with you."
"Another example is that Xiaolan served as a guest at someone's concert in Nisuo on the condition that she get a chance to sing solo in one or two large-scale performances."
"For another example, if you serve as a guest at someone's concert in Beka, the condition is that the album release of a certain singer under Hua Can, in addition to the distribution channels of Shuteng Records, will be added to Beka's distribution channels."
"As long as you get involved in this kind of thing once, the channels will be opened, and subsequent expansion will be much easier."
Li Kai listened silently and digested it for a while. He felt greatly inspired and his mind became more alive.
"If you just want to make money, there is no need to invest in opening a music studio, and there is no need to be so radical and break the rules of the industry again and again."
Xu Qianqiu glanced at him and said calmly: "If a studio wants to grow, or grow rapidly, it is not enough to cultivate singers. Channel development must also be carried out simultaneously. The shortcut is to deal with the five giants."
Li Kai smiled: "It's a shortcut, but it's also about seeking skin from a tiger."
Xu Qianqiu nodded and said: "Yes, you are indeed seeking the skin of a tiger, and there are definitely risks. On the other hand, how can you get the tiger's cubs if you don't enter the tiger's den?"
Putting down the glass of wine, his tone became serious: "Hua Can has been very sharp since its establishment. The five major giants, including several ambitious first-tier record companies, have all fixed their eyes on it."
"I dare to say that if we develop step by step, it will be difficult to reach the top of the list of giants."
"Perhaps when Hua Can becomes stronger, a record company will really take action. Maybe when Hua Can is upgraded to a record company, the five giants will join forces to target it."
"The example of Shuteng Records was set there, but within a month and a half, all its first- and second-tier singers were poached, half of the department heads quit, and several songwriters and managers also left."
"Yes, the liquidated damages can bring a considerable amount of income, but the development has stopped. Whether it is training its own singers or poaching people from other record companies, it will not be able to regain its competitiveness within six months or one year."
"Again, if you just want to make money, it is not impossible to become the singer with the highest annual income in the industry by writing songs, performing in commercials, and distributing your own records. I suggest that you pay the right price at the right time.
, sell Hua Can."
"But if you have greater ambitions and higher expectations for Hua Can, then you should plan early. You would rather take some risks up front than delay them. Postponing them later will only make you powerless."
