1040. Record release meeting (1/5)
The flash lights are bright, the screams are harsh, the et boards are continuous, and many people are holding fireflies. Although the firefly stick cannot show the effect due to weather reasons, it can add to the atmosphere on the scene.
Four people from the Sunset Orchestra were gasping for a lot of breath on the stage, sweat stains flashed on the foreheads of the four, and Reddy's white T-shirt was stained with sweat.
Stage performance is not a simple job, it is very laborious. Wang Bo used to see some singers who needed to organize concerts and needed to carry out fitness and strengthening activities in advance, but he still didn't understand it. Now, after observing the operation of a band at close range, he understood it.
The singing was loud and the atmosphere was hot. The Sunset Orchestra sang six songs on the hosting stage, two of which were from the album, two of which were the most popular, and two of which were written by themselves but failed to be selected from the album.
After singing these six songs in one breath, they were a little panting.
However, they don’t need to put in any physical work later, so they work harder and sing in the bar because they have to sing many songs a night, so they sing in a sing.
Another reason for working so hard today is that the reactions of the fans on site give them the feeling of holding a concert, although this is just a very shabby open-air singing event.
But sometimes people are so easily satisfied.
Next is the album’s signature release, with four members lying out to sign the fans who lined up to buy the album.
They were not prepared enough, and they estimated that they could sell four or five hundred albums, which was a success. As a result, there were already 1,400 copies of the people who came to the scene later, and these people were queuing up to buy albums.
Wang Bo looked at the long line and the row of signing pens beside the four people, and couldn't help but show his lingering expression: "Damn, I'm afraid my fingers will cramp after signing, right?"
The cost of an album is 5 NZD, which is relatively high, mainly because the recording studio consumes too much effort, otherwise it can usually be done with one or two NZDs.
Songs are rumbling. This album is sold for six yuan each. Wang Bo just said it clearly on the stage. These six yuan are the cost of five yuan plus one yuan of charity income. The extra yuan will be gathered and invested into the charity fund.
Charlie stood beside him and said, "From today's event, you should have two enlightenment. One is that the town needs a large square to accommodate the event, and the other is that the Sunset Band will definitely be popular."
Wang Bo nodded and said, "The construction of the square has begun, and the design drawings have been released. As long as the engineering team and equipment are in place, it can be built in two months."
This is a little better in New Zealand than elsewhere, and construction work can be started even in winter.
The record sales activity was very successful, and unexpectedly successful. The first batch of 5,000 albums sold more than 2,800 albums, leaving only 2,200.
Almost all those who came to participate in the event bought an album, and every household in the Sunset Town also bought one, because Wang Bo held an event and bought an album and record to get a pound of pork.
Any meat produced by Sunset Ranch is very expensive, including pork. Now the sales channels of pork are no longer a problem. The Northern Agricultural and Grain Group on Ye Qipeng's side is at least willing to fully handle these pork.
The sales event will not end from noon until evening.
Some local media such as "Aocheng Daily", "Otag Music", "New Zealand Music News" and so on were left to the end and conducted an exclusive interview with the Sunset Group.
These media will introduce the Sunset Group in a full-page mode, and others include The New Zealand Herald, New Zealand National Television, Google News-New Zealand, and Yahoo News-Music Station.
All day long, Ryan and the other four were immersed in happiness and excitement. After the interview, Reddy's voice became a little hoarse, and Wang Bo quickly handed him a box of throat lozenges.
Reddy continued to be excited with candy in her mouth: "Boss, I said do we need an agent?"
Hill said: "The boss can be an agent, he is my agent."
During the promotion of this event, Hill was also very busy. He wrote the sunset combination into the novel. His "Notes" was almost finished. At this time, the attention was very high, and almost all New Zealand readers were waiting for the finale.
So far, he has sold a lot of copyrights and has earned more than two million dollars.
For those internationally renowned writers, this income is simply unpredictable. For example, Ms. JK Rowling, the mother of Harry Potter, the copyright of a book is hundreds of millions of euros!
However, New Zealand is a small country and the entertainment industry market is so big. Wang Bo and Hill sell all the copyrights in New Zealand, such as movies, audio and publishing. It is already a high price to sell for two million yuan.
However, this book makes more than that. Wang Bo controls the copyright in his hands in comics and TV series. If he wants to cooperate internationally, his income can double.
Chatting, Reddy asked Hill: "Hey, great writer, when will your new book be released?"
If someone had called Hill a great writer in the past, he would have thought that he was ridiculing him, but now he has the confidence. At least in New Zealand, he is the mainstay of the new generation of writers.
Hill scratched his head and said, "There are two more weekly versions of "Notes". Then I will take a break in winter. When it comes to spring, I will release a new book. This new book is a fantasy theme, and I will definitely surprise everyone!"
"I hope you can write a new book called "Lord of the Rings". Wang Bo sincerely wishes him.
Hill joked: "Why don't I have a book called "The Sunset King"?"
"That's really the best," Wang Bo laughed, "Of course there's no hurry to this. Tonight we're going to give the Sunset Group a celebration party. I bet they're going to be popular!"
"What about our contract?" Reddy asked expectantly.
At that time, Wang Bo released four people with a bail of 640,000 yuan. According to their previous income of 20,000 yuan per month, the contract stipulates that he must work for him for at least 32 months.
This is a decision that makes four people regret it so much that they cry every night. They didn't expect that the bar in Sunset Town would be so popular that they could earn so much bail in a few days.
Just from the point of view of the contract, four people cannot breach the contract. Although the bar is very profitable, the bar does not rely entirely on the four people to make money. They have been busy publishing records in the past few months, and the bar business is not bad at all.
Reddy and the other two also discovered this, which made them very frustrated, feeling that their charm was not as great as they imagined.
Chapter completed!
