"Thank you very much for the wonderful performances brought to you by the Breaking Band. Their band's first Japanese album "Fighting Fireworks" is also being sold well. Audiences who like it can support it!"

"Let's give them applause again!"

Amid the applause and cheers, the members of the band who never closed walked backstage from the stage.

"Really, the work in Japan is too heavy, it's much more tiring than in China."

After picking off the headset, Ye Weiyang rubbed his eyebrows tiredly.

This music sharing variety show is the third show they are celebrating today.

Since the return band started participating in activities in Japan, he has participated in 3-4 announcements almost every day. This workload is much more intense than his leisurely recording of the episode "The Singer of the People in the National Style" in China for two weeks.

"Don't mention it, you have been back in China for two weeks. Do you know how we came here in the past two weeks?" Jing Bo'an's face collapsed, pointed at Ye Weiyang with a trembling finger, his voice full of resentment.

Japan is different from China. There are still several cities running back and forth in China to record programs. At least there is still a time to rest on the road. Sometimes you have to go to the venue every other day, so there is still time to take a break from your busy schedule.

But it is different in Japan. Leisure artists may be very idle, so idle that they can snatch their feet.

But once you get busy, because 90% of the announcements are in Tokyo, artists will be almost busy until they are not touched.

Every day, when I wake up, I have to put on makeup, rush for the first variety show, transfer, have a meal in the car, then go for the second variety show, then turn for the third and fourth, and then go back to the hotel late at night, slept for four or five hours, and repeat the next day again.

Although Japan is small, there are really many variety shows in various places, and most of them are variety shows in the studio.

Moreover, the broadcast time of Japanese variety shows is very wide, including morning, midday, evening and late night.

This is a country of variety shows.

As a newly popular band, almost all variety shows have invited them. In order to increase exposure and popularity, Takarina Takariya waved his hand and received more than 20 pieces!

In addition, the singers must be on various musical shows, the one-month event schedule of the band in Japan, variety shows + pictorial shooting + interview and interview programs, as well as some brand activities, offline meetings, there are a total of seventy or eighty announcements...

Ye Weiyang was lucky and ran away for two weeks. Puding and Jing Bo'an and others did not escape. They were either running for notices or on the way to notices every day.

Moreover, because they are all in Tokyo, the transfer time is only two hours at most, and there is no chance to rest at all. After such a high-intensity work, they are all so depressed.

"You have a good job, you can earn money from work. Isn't that good?" Ye Weiyang reached out and put his hand on Jing Bo'an's shoulder and comforted him with a smile.

"Bad, the notice fee is less than half of the country. Only by being an artist in Japan can you really make hard money!"

"At least, it's true that it's true. I now understand why Japanese artists pursue being movie actors and TV drama actors. Although they don't make much money in China, they are at least much better than artists who can only run variety shows. They have a lower workload and a higher income."

"Okay, don't complain. I think you are used to eating fine bran and can't eat coarse grains anymore. Let you feel that those independent bands can only earn a few hundred yuan in performance fees a month, so you won't complain here."

Yang Xiao rolled his eyes, too lazy to watch Jing Bo'an's funny performance, and took the lead in walking out of the backstage with his guitar. Everyone still had an announcement to run away.

....

The group of five people got into the super luxurious nanny car arranged by Echo Records. They moaned comfortably a few times. Before their butt was hot, Takarina Takariya, who had been staying in the car, turned his head excitedly and told me:

"Everyone, your album sales have officially exceeded 1.2 million! It has ranked among the top ten in the Japanese local album sales list this year!"

"Congratulations!!"

"As a newcomer's first album, it is already amazing to achieve this achievement. Now the media say that you are the best Chinese singers in Japan's development in the past 20 years!"

First time.

Ye Weiyang was not amazed by his album sales exceeding 1.2 million, but was amazed by Japan's mature record industry.

The sales of 1.2 million physical albums were sold in China. With a few superstar singers who have come from the 2000s and are still well-known, they can already rank in the top two or even the first level of the year without releasing films.

But in Japan, it can only be ranked in the top ten of the year list.

This year, the singer with the highest sales of Japanese albums has received a total of 2.2 million local sales!

This number is almost twice as high as the bands that are open.

And this is the result of the Japanese record industry being sluggish.

At the peak of the Japanese record industry, the highest-selling record sold more than 7 million copies!

There are more than 20 singers with a cumulative record sales of more than 10 million copies in their music careers!

In fact, in the 1980s and 1990s, there were many singers with album sales of over one million or even millions. Unfortunately, after entering the new century, piracy was rampant, and the entire Chinese record industry was quickly driven out of good coins by bad coins.

Although China's piracy is now under severe crackdown, the new generation of authentic versions is already very strong, but it is also impacted by digital music. Most of the Chinese fans who have never purchased physical authentic record culture have turned to online.

Like in Japan, physical record culture has been passed down for several generations. Although physical albums are now sluggish, many people still choose to buy physical record to support the development of singers when listening to music.

This is indeed a good thing for singers.

After all, singers make money mainly by selling albums and holding concerts.

Ye Weiyang and his team ran more than 80 notices a month, and the money they earned was less than the dividends given by selling 100,000 records.

However, the announcement still has to continue running. After all, the announcement will be exposed so that more people can know and understand their music, and then drive album sales. This is a complementary thing.

This is also the reason why variety shows are priced at low prices. In addition to professional funny artists, other artists participate in variety shows not only for the announcement fee, but mainly promote their own works.

This is a complementary entertainment industry model and is also relatively healthy.

In the Chinese entertainment industry 20 years ago, I actually learned this. There was almost no notice fee for artists to go to programs such as "Happy Camp". They just took a little token, and mainly promoted their works.

It is only in the past 10 years that various outdoor variety shows specially designed for celebrities have become popular. What follows is that celebrities' value in participating in variety shows soared, and they often have tens of millions of dollars a season.

Unconsciously, Ye Weiyang's thinking diverged again.

Still Takayama Rina's words pulled back his thoughts again.

"By the way, the Hongbai Song Club at the end of the year invites you to participate. I have agreed to you and you have been assigned to the Red Team."
