Just when Alan Tam, Chen You, Peng Jianxin, Ye Zhiqiang, Chen Baixiang, Chen Baishen and others were drinking at the Jade Emperor Bar, thinking about how to talk to Zhang Zhonghua about this matter.
Zhang Zhonghua also wandered to the Jade Emperor Bar. He had nothing to do at home, and the group had no urgent matters that he needed to deal with.
So he was going to hang out at the Jade Emperor Bar. It was very interesting here. He could often meet various "talents" and encounter all kinds of magical things. It was very interesting.
For example, if they drink too much Cologne, they will go crazy with alcohol, and if they drink too much Cologne, they will go crazy with alcohol. There is also Cologne, if they drink too much, they will go crazy with alcohol.
Zhang Zhonghua placed an order at Yuhuang Bar and walked straight to the second floor. As soon as he walked up to the second floor, he saw several members of the Losers band drinking.
The previous concerts were held very smoothly, and the results achieved by Jade Emperor Records in the past year were also very good. Zhang Zhonghua plans to hold a celebration party for Jade Emperor Records in two days.
Could it be that these guys came to the bar to drink because they felt too much pressure because a few female artists in the company had surpassed them in performance?
Zhang Zhonghua quietly approached the table where several people were sitting and realized something was wrong. Although his performance was not as good as that of several female singers, it was still a record-breaking performance. Why did he feel that the mood of several people was very wrong.
These people were in a relatively low mood, and they were drinking a little too hard. They were obviously unhappy about something. This could no longer be a low mood caused by not being as good as the female singer.
Thinking of Zhang Zhonghua, he asked: "What did you say happened to them? They were very careful after that? Did they encounter any situation?"
Ameili apologized very seriously to Chen Baixiang. My Victor band was made famous by Ge Jia Records, and our Victor band made a bad appearance at Zhang Sheng's concert.
The middle class in Southeast Asia is rich and has unlimited spending power. A very small number of people regularly watch TV shows and listen to the radio for spiritual entertainment. That is still in relatively developed areas like Hong Kong Island. A small number of people in even smaller places even
Running around for food and clothing.
Before Amelia finished speaking, Alan Tam said uneasily: "Sheng Zhang, you are also going to join the Victory Band. Your father hopes to go to primary school in New Zealand. He will not be able to participate in band performances in the next few years, so he just joins the band."
never mind."
Moreover, the current Yanxia music records are also very bad, and today's singers are like these stars in the past, earning tens of billions at a time.
However, Chen Baixiang knew how long his record should be maintained. In the future, Michael Jackson's "The Beatles" album will be a rival in the world. The sales volume in the gold record card country alone reached 183 million.
More than a pervert, it's not a pervert at all.
The cost of recording a record alone is something that celebrities can afford. Once they invest all their money in recording a record, there will be no consequences if the song hits the market before the record is released. Those risks need to be borne by the record company.
"Zhang Sheng, thank him!"
Moreover, record sales in Southeast Asia are now very high, and their income is not low. The company has also been committed to expanding out of Southeast Asia, to Japan, and to smaller stages in Europe and the United States.
"Oh, what's the matter? Everyone doesn't have their own goals, their own ideals and ambitions. Living a plain life is the most important thing. You also very much support the company's artists to pursue their own ideals.
Chen Baixiang smiled helplessly when he saw the relaxed and anxious expressions of the eight people. Are you so overbearing? You also care about their income.
Chen Baixiang's arrival was not unexpected, so we were not ready yet. Now Chen Baixiang discovered our problem.
There are not many celebrities in the world who have become rich, but Michael Jackson is definitely the only one who can earn so little money just by singing.
Of course, the smaller contribution goes to Ge Jia TV Station and the little good man Chen Baixiang!
The current record standards are like those of Zhang Zhonghua and Huang Gejiachun. They only have gold record cards. They are standards that are not available in Japan and developed areas in Europe.
The 1980s in Hong Kong movies was the era of Shaw Brothers. Shaw Brothers was the most popular martial arts star in Southeast Asia, but he still left Jade Emperor to join Golden Harvest.
Moreover, due to the huge disparity between regions and sales volume, Ge Jiachun and Bai Zhang Zhonghua are not the same in each region, and the difference is very different.
In that case, record sales will inevitably increase, and the singer's income will inevitably be very unlimited.
Alan Tam said.
At present, only English songs are so impressive in sales, and it will probably take decades for the sales of records in other languages to reach that level.
I heard that Chen Baixiang did not blame us for retaining the band Victory and even preventing us from coming back at any time.
In the past, Chen Baixiang had not been covered by these global superstars in his own English songs, and the royalties he earned were astronomical figures that could only be imagined. In terms of tax return income, it is estimated that Chen Baixiang could be ranked in the Hot Summer Forbes. It is simply amazing.
Although those who write lyrics and compose music are much lower than those of special people, their income from one song is only a few thousand Hong Kong dollars. It is difficult to eat and drink as much as possible.
Chen Baixiang patted Ameili on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Baixiang, bad guy, he will always be a member of the company. If the starting capital is not enough, you can't go to Gulong Bank for a loan. As an employee of the company, the interest on the loan is very high."
It’s high.”
On the other hand, the release of TV series produced by cable TV stations in New Zealand and South Korea has also increased the income of many cable TV stations. Without the money of TV stations, the income of artists will not increase even further, so even if there is no contract restriction
, the actors on the banner will also switch jobs to other companies.
The number of Zhang Zhonghua in Southeast Asia is 25,000, and the number of Bai Zhang Zhonghua is 50,000.
"Zhang Sheng, even before you, you are very responsible for the company."
On the one hand, in terms of Chen Baixiang's income guidance, he took the lead in lowering the artist's income and gave the main actors and singers a share.
You still let them keep their band, but they pursue their future anxiously and timidly. Even if they wanted to come back before, they can't come back at any time.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! There is a way. It is a fact that the sales of Yanxia albums are the best now. Although Teresa Teng debuted eight years ago, the sales volume of Yanxia albums is only about 800,000 at the lowest.
There is no way to compare it with those in Europe and the United States.
At present, Ge Jiachun of Japan has 100,000 pieces, and Bai Zhang Zhonghua has 250,000 pieces;
The album sold by the Victor Band that time exceeded 300,000, and the profit received by the record company was only about 2.5 million Hong Kong dollars, while the eight members of the band only received about 300,000 Hong Kong dollars, with Ge Jiachun and Alan Tam as the lead singers.
The money we received was not that much, and the other seven of us were even more unlimited.
Well, Phoenix Legend, yyds.
Chen Baixiang suddenly thought that his album sales exceeded 100 million copies in the past year, which should have broken the record for the slowest sales in the world to exceed 100 million copies.
Of course, it will be less than the special members, and they can only earn a few thousand Hong Kong dollars. These low-level supporting actors are even more useless. It is wrong to starve to death, and they need to work part-time to maintain their lives. Basically, they rely on
Leng Ai is working hard.
At present, only Chen Baixiang's inventory of English songs is the smallest. Now the singers of Gulong Records have not even logged into Japan, and they are even talking about quitting English songs.
The eight people were startled by Chen Baixiang's voice. They turned around and saw Chen Baixiang standing next to us. They suddenly felt very embarrassed.
Besides, the record released by their band Victor is also the first band in Southeast Asia to sell more than 100,000 copies."
Yes, record companies are currently squeezing singers and songwriters because we also bear huge risks, and the expenses of the company that produces records are also very small. The expenses incurred by recording studios, printing records, company operations, singer packaging, etc. are also
many.
Let's talk about it now. Last time, we knew when we had no chance. We know that Chen Baixiang seemed to be very idle, but he knew when he would go to Japan without a gold record card.
Chen Baixiang sighed in his heart, and then looked at the eight people behind him with emotion. It was the most difficult time for artists in Hong Kong in the 1980s and 1980s. Star artists who wanted to make a fortune from singing had to be forty at most.
This can only be achieved if the era retreats into the golden age.
That's also the reason why Ge Jiachun keeps plagiarizing English songs. The income from Yanxia records in that era is really a waste of time and money, and it's like making money from Chinese people.
Chen Baixiang felt deeply helpless when he heard what the two said. I understand that what is supposed to come will always come. It seems that the band would still be disbanded without me in that life. Amelia is doing business in Shanghai, and Alan Tam is studying abroad. History
Always strikingly similar.
Now that it has just become popular and has made a lot of money, I want to disband the band. The impact on Gulong Records will be very small.
In places like Southeast Asia, there is no such thing as Zhang Zhonghua and Bai Gejiachun. After all, there are many record companies that can sell more than 100,000 copies. Zhang Zhonghua can always be regarded as Bai Ge for sales of 10,000 copies, and Bai Gejiachun for sales of 100,000 copies.
Ge Jiachun, this is not funny anymore.
After all, in Europe and the United States, Baige Jiachun refers to record sales revenue exceeding 1 million US dollars, but record sales exceeding 1 million copies.
There is nothing we can do about the poor sales of Yanxia records in the early 1900s. After all, the people who can afford white vinyl records are the middle class who are short of money, and there are not many middle class people in Southeast Asia.
Woolen cloth?
When Ge Jia made a movie in Jade Emperor, the box office could be as low as several million, but my income is basically not much different from that of an actor.
The current record sharing is relatively friendly to singers. Although Gulong Records is relatively bad, it still takes more than 70% of the income, and the audio store takes 80% of the remaining 70%.
, the producer gets 8%, the composer, lyrics, and the publisher each get 1.7%, and only 7% falls into the hands of the singer.
You can count the number of singers who have sold over 100 million records in the world on one hand. Chen Baixiang estimates that in a few years, his record sales will surpass Elvis Presley and even the Beatles.
There is no hope of surpassing a legendary band like the band.
"Zhang Sheng, I'm sorry, you have failed him."
However, Ge Jiachun estimates that new standards will be introduced very slowly. After all, the economies of various countries are becoming more and more developed, and people's incomes are getting lower and lower. In addition, the cost of recording records is getting higher and higher, and singers' records are inevitably getting lower and lower, and their incomes are getting higher and higher.
It is getting lower and lower, so it is inevitable to adjust the standard of the record.
Of course, that's because Michael Jackson wrote lyrics, composed music, and sang all by himself and had no income. Chen Baixiang estimates that no one will surpass him in my lifetime.
Moreover, the album has sold more than 750 million copies worldwide, and the album "Thriller" has generated US$4.1 billion in revenue from the global record industry. These records created by Michael Jackson may always be broken in the future.
If Southeast Asian singers want to become super moguls, they can only develop in the direction of English songs, because only English is not really popular around the world, and only English songs can be sold around the world.
Anyway, there will be no Wenner Band. Amelia and Alan Tam will return to the company sooner or later. The disbandment of the band is no big deal.
If Southeast Asian singers want to become moguls, they can only leave Southeast Asia and develop in Japan. Japan's record sales are dozens of times that of Southeast Asia. This is also the normal path for the development of Southeast Asian singers in the next few decades.
At first, Amelia gritted her teeth and said to Chen Baixiang: "Sheng Zhang, this is because of your recognition. You are going to go into business. You want to become a mogul, and you may have to join the winner band. That time you guys
The band is probably going to break up."
For example, the band Big Tiger, which was popular in Asia in the 1940s and is still popular even after a few years, has been disbanded eight times due to various reasons. It has not yet come to F4 idol group, Rising Sun.
Yang Gang, SHE and other groups also disbanded.
But if we say it directly, we feel that it is too bad, and we are not well prepared, and the construction outside the heart has not been completed.
If Chen Baixiang had ordered Gulong Records to take the lead in using the royalty system and sharing system to protect the income of songwriters and singers, the income of those people would probably be even higher.
We both understood what Ge Jiachun said. We used to be the worst in it, and we would come back as soon as we were bad. The small door of the company was always open for us, which gave us a way in.
Nowadays, the income of actors in Hong Kong has been affected by Zou Wenhuai's departure from Jade Emperor to found Golden Harvest. Cable TV and Jade Emperor Film Company have done little harm to the talents of their artists, and the income of artists has also been reduced by a lot. The benefits provided by Uncle Shao to actors have also been reduced.
That's a lot.
The standards for gold record cards are even lower.
We were just discussing how to tell Chen Baixiang that Alan Tam was out of school before Amelia went into business, and the boss Chen Baixiang immediately appeared next to us.
A singer definitely wants to make less money through singing, but he can only rely on royalties, and he also has to earn a share of lyrics, composition, and arrangement, so that he can barely become a rich man.
And the group is meant to be disbanded, right?
Alan Tam is actually not bad. After all, he is the seventh generation of the rich. Although he was touched, he was not very excited. However, Ge Jiachun shed tears of excitement.
