Chapter 118 Album Release
Mid October.
Qi Yuanhe Zhouyu brought Jiang Qianye to Zhou Zhou's Three-Stone Music.
Jiang Qianye’s new album has been recorded and the MV has almost been produced.
Now, the official release stage of the new album has begun.
Yuancheng Film and Television Company's album distribution capabilities are zero.
So Qi Yuan contacted Zhou Zhou.
Sanshi Music has been established for more than ten years, and the entire album release process is already very mature.
From the binding and production of albums to the sale of albums to the audio and video stores across the country, Sanshi Music is very experienced.
The three of them arrived at a conference room of Sanshi Music, and Zhou Zhou was already waiting here.
"Brother Qi Yuan, long time no see!"
Zhou Zhou also led a girl who looked only twenty years old. She was a little short, but she looked good.
He introduced the little girl to Qi Yuan and said, "This is Huang Xuanya, a newcomer signed by our company, and his voice is very good. Xuanya is called someone."
"Hello Teacher Qi, Hello Sister Jiang, Hello Brother Zhou."
The little girl is quite well-behaved.
Several people sat down.
Zhou Zhou spoke: "Brother Qi, according to our business rules, I, Sanshi Music, need 20% of the profits to be released. You should know this, right?"
Zhouzhao replied: "Mr. Zhou, we naturally know this principle. We are very optimistic about Sanshi Music's distribution ability, otherwise we would not have chosen to cooperate with you."
Zhou Zhou said: "I don't want to brag about anything else, but my experience in this album is still better than you. More than 90% of the chain audio and video stores in China, big and small, are cooperative with me, Sanshi, so you don't have to worry about distribution and promotion."
Zhou Zhou took a sip of water and continued, "But what I want to say is not this."
Qi Yuan said: "You have something to say."
"Xuanya, this kid, I've signed in to our company for almost three months, and there's still no song released. So, I want to see if there is any suitable one for Brother Qi and see if she can write a song for Xuanya so that she can also enjoy singing."
Zhou Zhou raised his hand and said, "Then, Qianye's album, at that time, we only need a promotional and promotion cost, which is almost 5 million yuan."
When Zhou Zhou was contacted by Qi Yuan, he just made up his mind that the initial promotion and distribution cost was about 5 million.
Albums are no more than movies. Many movies are often promoted and distributed tens of millions, and some are even higher than the production cost of the movie itself.
Qi Yuan and Zhou Yuhao looked at each other, and Zhou Yuhao nodded slightly.
Qi Yuan said, "This is how it is, Mr. Zhou. I won't cheat you. I will write a song for Xuanya, and then Sanshi takes full control of the promotion and distribution of Qianye's new album. Our Yuancheng will pay 3 million at a price, and then the album income will be 10%. What do you think?"
Zhou Zhou smiled and said, "Brother Qi, let's put it this way. The cost of an album is 2 yuan, and the album's binding and production are also simultaneous. You already have these MVs, but we have at least the advertising fees in major stores, which will start with three million. This has not included our promotional campaigns on the Internet, or participating in some programs, which is a considerable expense. I can't make your money for this 5 million."
Qi Yuan took a look, sat aside, quietly looked at Jiang Qianye who was talking about business, and said, "We cannot save on promotion and distribution. Of course, production costs are included in the cost. Let's talk about this separately..."
Zhou Zhou said, "That's it, Brother Qi, do you think this is OK? If Qianye's album has sales of less than 5 million, then three million, I agree, plus a song by Xuanya. If it can exceed 5 million, then you don't give me the market price for the excess returns, I just need 5%. "
If you sell 5 million albums, the cost price of the disc alone will be 10 million.
An album, just the song itself, costs a lot of money.
He is still here with Qi Yuan, so he doesn't have to pay the songwriters.
After shooting MVs, millions of dollars have been spent.
Now there are still production bindings for the album itself, which are millions.
There is also a promotional fee!
So in fact, you can’t make a lot of money by selling albums. It’s already amazing to earn 5 yuan for an album.
The most important thing for singers is to make money by doing business performances everywhere after their songs became popular.
For example, because Qi Yuan became popular after "The Strongest Singer and Writer", he has never participated in commercial performances, which has also caused the price of his commercial performances to rise step by step, and now it has reached the level of 1.2 million three songs.
After listening to Zhou Zhou's words on the weekend, he whispered in Qi Yuan's ear: "It's more reasonable. If you look for another company, what they want will not be less than 15%.
Qi Yuan was silent a little.
It's still not good to fight alone.
When he was in Tianhao before, he never worried about distribution.
Tianhao's promotional and distribution capabilities are ranked among the top in the entire China.
Qi Yuan set a goal in his heart. When it was time for his new album to release this matter, Yuan Cheng must have the ability to do it.
"Okay, Mr. Zhou."
After signing a new album release contract with Sanshi, Jiang Qianye seemed very excited.
Sitting in the car, my little face was flushed.
"Boss, I am confident that this album can exceed 10 million sales."
Qi Yuan glanced at her and said, "How can you be so confident?"
"I'm not confident, I'm super confident in you. Every song on the album is very good."
Qi Yuan smiled faintly and said to the weekend when he was driving: "Lao Zhou, your task in the past two months is to understand the channels and channels of Sanshi. In the future, we have to do this by ourselves."
The income is 5% for Sanshi. If an album is sold for 50 yuan, if the cost is left out, Zhou Zhou can probably be divided into about 25 cents.
Don’t underestimate these 250 cents. If the album sales exceed 10 million, it will be a million in revenue!
"Okay! I'll follow their people and figure out the whole link clearly. When your boss releases the album, we'll do it ourselves!"
I parked my car at the entrance of the Happy Hotel on the weekend.
Qi Yuan got out of the car and saw Gong Liang standing in front of his bun shop with a refreshing look on his face.
"Oh! Teacher Qi!" Gong Liang waved to Qi Yuan happily, "Do you want to join my store? I'll give you a friendly price!"
This kid seems to have been a little bit awkward in buns in the past few months and has become enlightened.
The buns are so delicious. Now his Gongji bun shop has opened five branches in Xidu. This guy is thinking about opening the branches all over the country.
As for his original purpose of coming to Xidu a few months ago... he had long forgotten.
Chapter completed!
