"The Beauty of the World Is Connected with You" was launched on China Mobile's ringtone download website on October 1, but in just two weeks, the number of downloads exceeded one million.
According to the original agreement, you would get 0.67 yuan for each download, and 670,000 yuan was credited in just half a month.
No wonder so many people are desperately trying to become celebrities and Internet celebrities, and the money comes so quickly!
Of course, not all online singers can get a share of the income from ringtones. There are also many people who buy out their songs to SP companies in order to gain promotion, or have a large share of the profits taken by their brokerage companies.
The song became popular and Lu Yan became an Internet celebrity, but he was not yet a star.
Early Internet singers had strict boundaries with the mainstream music scene due to image, packaging, publicity, etc., and most of them could not escape the fate of "people who are famous in singing are not popular".
Lu Yan didn't care much about this. He didn't want to enter the entertainment industry anyway. But he couldn't stand the fact that "Internet singers" were cost-effective, and there were always people who wanted to do business with him.
In the view of the performance organizer, it is much more cost-effective to hire an Internet singer to sing a song that is popular all over the country, but the appearance fee of only 30,000 to 50,000 yuan is much more cost-effective than hiring a celebrity.
In addition to being cost-effective, most "non-mainstream singers" are relatively easy-going. Unlike some big-name artists who always have various stringent conditions, they are highly favored by performance companies.
At noon that day, Lu Yan was eating in the cafeteria when he received another strange phone call. The caller claimed to be a cultural media company in Jinling, which could handle more than 100 commercial performances every year, and wanted to come over to talk about cooperation.
Lu Yan was originally a little resistant to the entertainment industry, but he got a lot of calls and these people quoted prices again and again. He started to feel a little tempted, so he casually made an appointment after school in the afternoon.
After hanging up, Song Jing next to him said enviously: "Okay, Brother Yan, this one will cost tens of thousands, right?"
Lu Yan said: "It's almost the same, but it can't be compared with celebrities!"
Yu Shuangpeng exaggerated: "It's already amazing, isn't it? Even if I work as a tutor for a month, I can't earn more than 1,000 yuan!"
Lu Yanxiao: "When you graduate, join a company like the Fortune 500 and work hard for a few years...!"
"I also have to pay off the mortgage and car loan!" Song Jing sighed.
Yu Shuangpeng said: "Those who have no future in working have to be their own bosses."
"Then what do you think is better?" Song Jing asked.
Yu Shuangpeng took out the copycat mobile phone in his pocket, pulled out the antenna on it, and actually received the local TV station in Jinling. The picture quality and sound were quite poor.
"I think it's okay to make a copycat mobile phone! I asked my classmates in Shenzhen to find out that all accessories and chips can be bought in Huaqiangbei. I can assemble them myself and sell them for takeout. I'm sure I'll make some money!"
I just bought this knockoff phone, and the brothers in the dormitory played with it twice before losing interest. Song Jing became interested at this moment, held it in her hand and looked at it repeatedly, and asked: "Do you have any sales channels?"
"Just go to the night market at Xinjiekou. Don't look down on those who set up stalls. You'll definitely make a lot of money!"
"Brother Yan, do you think there is a future in making mobile phones?" Song Jing asked.
"There must be, you can still make money if you do well!"
In his memory, the copycat phones were killed by Xiaomi. It was only 2006, and if he entered the game at this time, he still had a few years to make money.
Yu Shuangpeng's eyes suddenly lit up and he said: "Hey, Brother Yan, how about we form a partnership and make a copycat phone? You can provide more funds, take the majority of the shares and get endorsements! We will make a living with you!"
Lu Yan said: "My money is basically in the stock market. I won't take it out until the bull market ends!"
Yu Shuangpeng was not discouraged after hearing this, and said with a smile: "It doesn't take much, just tens of thousands of dollars!"
Lu Yan thought for a while and said, "Let's do it this way. When we go back, you can ask our classmates if they want to do this. Then everyone will pool some money to set up a company, and I will invest the money from the commercial performance."
In the field of mobile phones, Lu Yan will enter in the future, and that will be along the Xiaomi route. At the moment, investing money in making copycat phones is just to gain some experience.
In the afternoon, there was an insurance course, and Yu Shuangpeng ran away immediately. The reason was to go out for a walk and inspect the "counterfeit phone" market. Song Jing was moved by what he said, so she also went out with him.
Lu Yan went back to his dormitory to rest, but when he arrived at the big classroom, he found that in the entire dormitory 430, he and Wu Yukun were the only ones who did not escape.
Lu Yan didn't run away because he felt that as the squad leader, he needed to set an example for everyone. Wu Yukun did it because he wanted to join the party. Recently, he had become more and more strict with himself and refused to make any mistakes.
Two days ago, Song Jing was caught jumping from the main entrance of the school. She was warned and punished, and she wrote a self-criticism. This really frightened Empress Wu.
"Here, these guys are getting wilder and wilder?" Wu Yukun looked around and found that there were not many students coming.
College is different from high school. No one is watching you study here. Everything depends on self-consciousness. When I was a freshman, those in dormitory 430 did not skip classes very much. Now that I am a sophomore, they are gradually slacking off.
Fortunately, the instructor often replays a big move and calls the roll!
"The roll call will begin in ten minutes. Anyone who fails to do so three times in total will fail the course!" the insurance teacher put down the textbook and said with a straight face.
As a result, students in the class started sending text messages on their mobile phones, and Lu Yan and Wu Yukun also hurriedly informed the dormitory of the four missing students.
Xu Jiaqing went to class with his partner, and after receiving the text message, he rushed back. Zhang Xun was in the library, not far away, and came quickly.
Yu Shuangpeng and Song Jing were too far away to come back, so they resigned to their fate pessimistically.
When ten minutes were up, the teacher first looked at his watch, then at the packed classroom, and said with a smile: "Why do you need to buy insurance? Because there will always be various accidents in life. People sit at home
, misfortune comes from heaven. Some people thought that I might not be able to name names, so they ran away. They didn’t expect that I would name names. What is this? This is an accident!
Okay, I think people are almost back, so I won’t waste everyone’s time and let’s start class!”
Those students who hurried back immediately felt their heads buzzing when they heard this. Xu Jiaqing whispered: "She wanted to tell us, but she didn't say it after she said it. Is it an accident?"
Lu Yan laughed softly: "This is a surprise!"
"Holy shit!"
After class, Lu Yan left the classroom and walked to the school gate. When he passed the basketball court, he received a call from the other party, saying that he had arrived at the coffee shop outside the school.
Lu Yan walked for more than ten minutes before arriving and saw a man in his late twenties, wearing a casual suit, sitting at the appointed location.
"Hello, I am the business department manager of Dasheng Media Company. My surname is Jiang. This is my business card!"
"Hello, nice to meet you!" Lu Yan took the business card with both hands, looked at it, called Manager Jiang, and then put it away.
After they sat down separately, the man named Jiang Xiaokun looked at Lu Yan and said, "Mr. Lu's appearance and talent are such a shame that it would be a shame to be an online singer. Are you interested in becoming an actor?"
