Chapter 652: The Future Planning of Shengtang Music
Another day passed, and Ye Jinsheng finally arrived in Los Angeles. Liu Lang personally went to the airport to greet him. When Ye Jinsheng saw Liu Lang, he gave him a warm hug.
"Liu Lang, I'm really sorry. I didn't do a good job in Jingsheng Culture, which caused you losses. It's just that Hong Kong Island is really not to my liking. Not to mention the gang harassment, there are parades on the streets every day, which makes me upset.
I’m so confused that I can’t wait to pick up bricks and go to the streets to fight with them!”
Last year, the country and the United Kingdom signed a return agreement. In ten years, Hong Kong Island will return to the embrace of the motherland. This is a great thing for mainlanders, but it is very unhappy for some Hong Kong Islanders. Most of these guys
There are people behind the instigation, who go to the streets every day to cause riots and parades, saying something against the return of Hong Kong Island, and even talking about independence.
Who is Ye Jinsheng? He is the "second generation" of Gen Hongmiaozheng. He is extremely loyal to the country, but he can't do anything now. He can only endure the insult of the country by these idiots. This is why he wants to leave Hong Kong Island.
An important reason.
"Brother Ye, you're welcome. You built Jingsheng Culture. I didn't pay a penny. If you want to pay compensation, you will pay it. It has nothing to do with me, so don't worry about it!"
Even if Jingsheng Culture became the number one entertainment company in Hong Kong, Liu Lang would not look down upon it.
The two people came to Shengtang Company in a car. Seeing the huge factory and office building, Ye Jinsheng was amazed. Liu Lang had made Shengtang Company so big in less than a year in the United States. It was really unbelievable.
beyond his expectation.
"Brother Ye, I just acquired a company, and these buildings all belong to the original company."
"What? You bought a company? What company?"
"A company that makes special effects for movies. I think you should know the boss of that company!"
While the two were talking, Lucas and others came out to greet them.
"You are...George Lucas!"
Lucas's Star Wars movie is so famous that it cost 10 million U.S. dollars to create a total box office of 700 million U.S. dollars, ranking first in the global box office in history. It created a miracle, and Lucas also became the world's most famous movie.
The highest-grossing director in the world, if anyone in the entertainment industry doesn't know his name, that would be simply ignorant. As a well-known producer in Hong Kong, Yip Jin-sheng certainly recognizes him.
"Well, that's right, I'm George Lucas!"
Lucas nodded. The other party was so surprised to see him, which made him feel very accomplished.
"Oh my god, why does Lucas appear here? Is it the other company that was acquired by Shengtang?"
Only then did Ye Jinsheng realize that Liu Lang's achievements in the United States far exceeded his expectations.
"That's what happened. Mr. Ye Jinsheng, please take a look at this contract. If there are no problems, then sign it!"
In the conference room, Liu Lang sat in his own chair, and Sun Mingren next to him handed a contract to Ye Jinsheng.
This contract is very clear. Shengtang Company will establish Shengtang Music Co., Ltd. with a registered capital of one million US dollars. Shengtang will own 90% of the shares and Ye Jinsheng will own 10%. At the same time, he will hire
Ye Jinsheng is the CEO, with an annual salary of US$70,000. This salary is a fairly high salary in the United States, almost as much as the President of the United States. At the same time, he also has the right to report to Liu Lang alone.
Of course, Ye Jinsheng's 10% share was given free of charge by Shengtang, and he did not need to pay any money.
"Liu Lang, I want to know what plans you have for this Shengtang Music Co., Ltd.!"
Ye Jinsheng did not pick up the pen and sign his name immediately.
"The plan? It's very simple. From now on, the profit will reach 100 million US dollars in one year, 300 million US dollars in two years, and become the best music company in the United States within ten years!"
Liu Lang replied.
"What?"
Ye Jinsheng was so frightened that he almost fell off his stool. This was so cruel.
"Liu Lang, I can't realize your plan. I can't even shrink it ten times!"
"Haha, Brother Ye, you are looking down on you, and you are looking down on Shengtang. How can a music company make money? It's very simple, just keep releasing songs that can be popular in the United States, and every song can be on the billboard, and every song can participate in the competition
Lemmy, it doesn’t take much. As long as our company releases ten songs like this, we can achieve a small goal of 100 million just by buying records. If we use various marketing strategies to make our company’s singers popular, through the sale of peripheral products
, there is no problem if it reaches 200 million, do you believe it?"
"I believe it!"
Ye Jinsheng has no doubt.
When he left the capital, Liu Lang gave him seven songs. All seven songs became gold hits on Hong Kong Island and won three Hong Kong Island Golden Melody Awards. The reason why he was awarded three times was because he had only been in Hong Kong Island for three years, that is,
It is said that he has won all the Golden Melody Awards in the past three years. The records of these seven songs alone have sold 1,500 yuan.
One million records, with an average sales volume of two million, may not seem like much, but the most popular star Leslie Cheung only sold more than three million records. It is already a miracle that he can reach two million as an outsider.
But again, the market in Hong Kong Island is too small. If you put it in the United States, what sales volume would it have?
Michael Jackson's album "Thriller" released three years ago sold 12 million copies in one year. Of course, Michael Jackson is a superstar, and others cannot reach his height, but generally speaking, he can be ranked among the most popular albums in the world.
The top five songs on the album can sell two to three million copies. The price of a record is about 20 US dollars, and the profit rate can reach 50%. In this way, the profit of one record is 10 million US dollars.
Around, plus concerts and so on, this calculation is really okay, but...!
Lucas glanced at Liu Lang and kept muttering in his mind: Everyone knows the truth, but can you write so many good songs? Even Michael Jackson would have spent two or three years making an album!
But Ye Jinsheng couldn't help but feel excited after hearing Liu Lang's words.
Others are bragging when they say this, but if Liu Lang said this, then I’m afraid it’s really no problem!
There is something that has always puzzled Ye Jinsheng. When he was in Hong Kong Island, he often discussed this issue with Cui Jun and a group of people from the capital.
That's why Liu Lang can write such good songs?
Music is a very magical thing. A good melody can make people feel the author's feelings at that moment, whether they are sad, happy, or excited. In other words, good music can control people's emotions.
This is the greatest charm of music.
But good music is not easy to make. Just like a beautiful poem, the author needs to use appropriate words to perfectly express the emotions and scenes at a certain moment. Those who can do this have become masters, such as
There is the poet Li Bai, whose poems are a reflection of his wild and unconstrained imagination, and the poet Wang Wei, whose poems are articles in which he thinks about life.
Similarly, a beautiful piece of music requires the use of notes to play out all the emotions in the world. It is not easy to have this skill. In addition to the near-perfect control of the notes, what is more important is the ability to understand things.
.
For example, Liu Lang's song "New Mandarin Ducks and Butterflies Dream" vividly expresses the kind of unrequited love. That song "Broad Sea and Sky" expresses the infinite love and struggle for life. The two songs represent two different
The emotions have reached a very high level. If the author had not felt deeply about it, he would not have been able to write such a song. However, the author of the two songs is the same person, a child who is only five years old. It is crazy to think about it.
.
Ye Jinsheng and others could not find any reason to explain this "phenomenon". Perhaps this is why Liu Lang is a genius and they are ordinary people.
