Middle Age: A Leisurely Life in the Entertainment Industry

Chapter 196 Last Year's Income Was Good

It was already the eighth day of the first lunar month when Yu Dongqing saw Guo Xin again, and the Wannianqing studio started to open after the Spring Festival.

During the Spring Festival, Yu Dongqing took her daughter back to her hometown Huayin, but this time the stay was not so long, and she rushed back to Yanjing on the 7th.

Today is the first day of the new year's opening. As the boss, I have to do it myself, and at the same time, I have to give the employees a red envelope or something.

Guo Xin was sitting on the sofa in Luo Yun's office with a cautious expression. When she saw Yu Dongqing coming in, she hurriedly stood up.

"Sit down, sit down." Yu Dongqing greeted with a smile, and then asked: "Did Luo Yun talk to you?"

"Well, I'd like to sign the contract."

"Holly, the top priority is to quickly arrange the song "Yu Xiang" and have it sung by Guo Xin. It will be released as her single. I think it will have as much influence as the song "Red Ling" written by you and Yawen." Luo Yun interjected.

She just heard Guo Xin sing "Afterglow" to her with the guitar accompaniment. The girl's unique smoky voice sang this song, which sounded very interesting to her.

She believes that this song will definitely become a hit in the future.

Composer.
I have to write lyrics and arrange music for each song, which is too troublesome!
Today, a few buddies want to get together and have a hot pot of mutton.

So he thought of a way: "You call Li Wei."

Li Wei is in the office next door and came over soon: "Brother Yu, are you looking for me?"

Yu Dongqing first introduced Guo Xin, and then said to Li Wei: "Here is a new song, and I am going to let her sing it. I am busy recently, how about you try to arrange the song?"

"Okay, okay." Li Weixi was delighted.

He has been in Yu Dongqing's studio for more than three months, and basically does some miscellaneous things every day, including teaching Zhang Baole theory.

In fact, from the bottom of my heart, I still want to do my old job-arranging music.

Today, Yu Dongqing finally handed over the arrangement of a new song to him, how could he be unhappy?
"Don't worry, Brother Yu, I'll make sure to arrange the music well, and I'll let you have a look at it when I'm done," Li Wei said.

Yu Dongqing nodded: "By the way, how is Zhang Baole's theoretical knowledge?"

"His foundation is relatively weak, so he learns relatively slowly." Li Wei also told the truth.

"No rush, take your time."

After Li Wei left, Yu Dongqing said to Guo Xin again, you are fine these few days, you don't have to come to work every day, you should rest more, and I will notify you to come and audition after the arrangement is completed.

Guo Xin naturally left happily.

After she left, Luo Yun said with a smile: "Dongqing, yes, you are very good to Guo Xin."

"Look at what you said, now you are an artist under the studio, shouldn't you care?" After Yu Dongqing finished speaking, she changed the subject:
"Now our studio has signed two singers. Are you going to be busy for a while? Don't say you have nothing to do all day long."

That's right, the managers of other celebrities are trying their best to get resources for their artists, but she is just thinking about how to get rid of the olive branches extended by those performing arts companies and advertisers.

Commercial speech?

Sorry no time.

Commercials?
Our studio has no such plans at the moment.

write songs?Yes, but you have to queue up. Look, there are still many singers waiting in front of you.

When can I write it out?
I don't know, it depends on Mr. Yu's mood
Now that the studio has signed two singers at once, it finally has something to do!
Of course, as the business expanded, two more staff members had to be hired.

"On Zhang Bao's side, I'm going to release an album of his, which is mainly Qinbei folk songs re-arranged, while maintaining the original traditional charm and adding some modern music styles. I will use the song "Xintianyou" written by you as the album. Name." Luo Yun said that the business immediately became more efficient.

Yu Dongqing nodded after listening.

"For Guo Xin, I also said that first of all, we will release this song "Yu Xiang" as soon as possible to become a hit, and then we will fight for her commercial performance according to the follow-up development."

"Very good, then urge Li Wei to hurry up." Yu Dongqing said.

"You really don't compose any more?"

"I have to write songs and arrange music. I'm so exhausted?" Yu Dongqing immediately cried out: "Li Wei is very good, don't you still have you? You have also worked as an arranger."

"You are lazy!"

"Okay, okay, to be honest, if you want to release an album for Zhang Bao, I will arrange all ten songs by myself? Do you think it is possible?"

Yu Dongqing asked back: "If you think Li Wei's level is not too high, you can invite experts from outside to arrange music."

If Yu Dongqing is unwilling, there is only this way.

"However, Dongqing, you have to arrange the song you wrote yourself, right? Yu Xiang, you have to check it too!"

"Okay." Yu Dongqing could only agree.

"Are you okay? I'll go back when I'm okay." Yu Dongqing was about to leave after speaking.

"Today is the first day of work, what are you in a hurry for?" Luo Yun said angrily, "Don't you want to see your income from last year?"

Oh, almost forgot about that.

Originally, we had to make a clear inventory before the Spring Festival, but something happened to Zhang Bao halfway through, and he couldn't make it to the CCTV Spring Festival Gala. Luo Yun could not make it to the local Spring Festival Gala, so he ran around for a while and let it go.

It was hard to wait until New Year's Eve to settle the accounts, but Yu Dongqing had already brought her daughter back to her hometown, so I had to wait until today to tell him when I went to work, but the year-end bonus was still honored, even though the studio had been open for less than four months.

After Luo Yun finished speaking, she went to the drawer of her boss's desk and took out a thick stack of materials and handed them to Yu Dongqing: "This is all the copyright income you wrote last year, including your own singing, and It is to invest in the share income of Zhao Yawen's studio."

"In addition, there is also the profit share of investing in the movie "The Day I Digged Coal in the Mine" made by Wang Dongsheng."

"That movie really made money?" Yu Dongqing was slightly surprised: "I heard that the box office in Xiangjiang is only average?"

"But he won an award? It mainly depends on the overseas box office, and the copyright sales reached 4000 million yuan!"

"According to the investment contract you signed at the beginning, your share income is 260 million yuan, and your net profit is 160 million yuan." Luo Yun said.

"Not bad, not bad." Yu Dongqing smiled.

Why does he feel that Wang Dongsheng seems to be following the path of Jia Zhangke in the original time and space?
Regardless of the superficial appearance of Director Jia as a director of literary and artistic films, he actually made a fortune silently.Looking at the domestic box office, Jia Kechang loses everything in every movie, but his source of profit has never been the domestic box office, but overseas copyright income.

"How much do we earn in Yawen's studio?" Yu Dongqing asked again.

"32.56."

not bad
This shows that in just over two months, Zhao Yawen's studio earned more than 60 yuan.

"Of course, these two parts of income only account for a very small part, mainly due to the song copyright, which is about 1358.65 million after tax!"

Not bad.

This thing is like a chicken that lays eggs, but it has income every year.

"According to the contract signed by the two of us, I got 10% commission, which is 135.9 million, but I only worked for one quarter, which is 33.97."

"Okay, you do as you said." Yu Dongqing said: "By the way, what about the income of the Qingmanshoe band?"

"This is specifically listed." Luo Yun turned the information to the back and said:

"Your band's income only comes from downloading and paying for the few songs you sing on major music platforms. If you deduct the taxes you should pay, it is about 231 million yuan."

"Okay, you can make three copies of the last few pages. We are going to cook mutton together tonight. I will show them."

"there's one more thing."

"what's up?"

"What do you think about this year's Top Ten Chinese Golden Melody Awards Ceremony?"
