Treasure Island 1992, starting from the Four Little Heavenly Kings

Chapter 39 Income
The next day, after Chen Qiming came to the company, he immediately went to Liu Ciwei to ask about the MV shooting.

Unexpectedly, Liu Ciwei was not there.

It wasn't until I asked my assistant Li Xiaomei that I found out that the company had already contacted the MV's heroine, and Liu Ciwei was going to pick her up at the airport.

"Airport?" Chen Qiming didn't pay attention to this at first, but then he immediately reacted.

Logically speaking, if the MV heroine invited by this company is from Baodao, then she shouldn't be flying.

"Yes, Brother Ci Wei said when he went there in the morning that the other party seems to be a star in Hong Kong."

Li Xiaomei replied.

"Do you know who it is?" Chen Qiming asked.

Li Xiaomei shook her head, indicating that she didn't know either.

Li Xiaomei didn't know that it was impossible for Chen Qiming to ask Ge Fuhong who happened to be in the company today for such a trivial matter, so he could only wait in the company with curiosity.

However, Liu Ciwei hadn't come back yet, but Ge Fuhong took the initiative to look for him.

In Ge Fuhong's office, as soon as Chen Qiming came in, he saw Ge Fuhong checking a document.

Seeing Chen Qiming coming in, she didn't hesitate, and directly passed the information to Chen Qiming.

"The company decided to stop printing the EP "No Trend, No Money" from this weekend.

This is the sales data of this EP so far. Please take a closer look, and then we will find someone to reconcile the account, and the company will send you your money as soon as possible. "

Hearing this, Chen Qiming was taken aback, "There is no engraving, why?"

Record production companies are not charitable organizations. Basically, every record, the company has to squeeze out profits, and even sell it repeatedly.

Now, Ge Fuhong actually said that he would not engrave it.

Not engraving basically means that the record will not be sold.

At present, although the sales volume of this ep is not as good as the week it was just released, the data trend is still very stable.

Under such circumstances, it was not sold anymore. For a while, Chen Qiming couldn't figure out what kind of medicine was being sold in Ge Fuhong's gourd.

"Yes, it won't be engraved anymore." Ge Fuhong nodded, and then explained: "The reason why we don't continue to release this ep doesn't mean that we won't make money, but because we want to make money, we should temporarily stop selling this record. "

Hearing this, Chen Qiming pondered in his mind for a while, and came up with an idea, "Sister Ge means, stop this ep to increase fans' expectations for the follow-up official album?"

The three songs of the EP "No Fashion, No Money" are all included in the official album "Trend Figures".

In fact, to a certain extent, although the big sales of "No Fashion, No Money" is a good thing, it also has certain disadvantages, that is, it will partake of the official album market to a certain extent.

After all, these three songs have already been included in the official album. If the other songs in the album are not accepted by the audience, the sales of the album will definitely drop, because they already have the three songs in the ep that they think are good. Now, there is no need to continue to spend more money to buy this official album.

Of course, Chen Qiming personally feels that "Little Dimple" and "First Experience of Love" will definitely be accepted by the audience.

But this is just his personal opinion.

If a song is not put into the market, you will never know whether it will be popular or not.

Therefore, Ge Fuhong and the others are worried that the sales of the official album will not be good because the sales of the ep are too good.

After all, the official album is about twice as expensive as the EP.

The same is to make money, whether you earn more or less, fools will choose.

"Yes, because all three of your EP songs have been included in this official album, I doubt that the audience will regard this official album as a collection of our money-making collections." Ge Fuhong nodded and said.

The so-called best album is actually a kind of record that major record companies have withdrawn in order to re-sell and collect money over the years.

Many record companies, after singers become popular, often mix their famous songs with some bad songs and release them, which is called a selection.

Although many fans will pay for this kind of record, there are also many people who hate this kind of record.

The most famous example here on Taiwan is Teresa Teng.

Looking through her record release resume, you will find that she releases at least three or four albums a year.

but!
These albums are all re-releases of old songs that she has released in the past after some minor adaptations.

At the beginning, this kind of collection was actually quite popular.

But one or two is fine, fans who like her are willing to pay for it.

But when fans find that the records they often buy hardly have a good new song, they gradually develop a sense of disgust for this kind of collection.

Obviously, the company is worried that this official album by Chen Qiming will be regarded as a selection by fans.

"I see. Since the company is going to arrange it like this, I have no objection."

Chen Qiming said, and took the document handed over by Ge Fuhong.

He glanced at it roughly, and it contained the sales data of the ep "No Trend, No Money" and the money he could get.

"No Trend, No Money" has been released for a total of three weeks, with a total of 25 copies printed and 21 copies sold so far.

The [-] unsold records are not counted here.

21 copies of EP were sold, of which 16 were laser CDs and [-] were tapes.

According to the contract between Fulong Brokerage Company and Fulong Records, Chen Qiming can get five yuan for a laser CD, and for 25 copies, he can get [-] Taiwan dollars.

He can get two dollars for a tape, a total of 32 Taiwan dollars.

Add up a total of 57 Taiwan dollars.

Then, the money has to be divided into fours and sixes, and [-]% will be given to Fulong Brokerage Company. (PS: Although Fulong Records is a subsidiary company of Fulong Brokerage Company, the accounts between the two must be separated. The protagonist belongs to Fulong Brokerage Company, and then produced this record with Fulong Records. How Long Records and UFO share accounts, the protagonist’s money is all taken from Fulong Records, and after taking it, as a brokerage company, Fulong Brokerage Company will take [-]% from him.)
Well, after some calculations, Chen Qiming found that he didn't actually get much money, only 22 Taiwan dollars.

If the money is converted into Hong Kong dollars and RMB, it is actually only 6 to [-] yuan.

Although deep down there is a feeling that I have too little.

But Chen Qiming still gladly accepted the income.

After all, as far as the current treasure island is concerned, this is a routine operation.

All artists are basically like this, unless Chen Qiming chooses to leave the company and go it alone.

But to be honest, these days, without a backer, it is obviously unrealistic to rely on talent to make a fortune on your own.

But fortunately, although the income from the records was not much, Chen Qiming still shared a lot of Sanyang Group's endorsement fees. This year's 300 million Taiwan dollars in endorsement fees, excluding 120% of Fulong's brokerage, left Chen Qiming with [-] million Taiwan dollars.

Adding the two together, Chen Qiming earned a total of NT$140 million.

Overall, for Chen Qiming, the money was relatively easy to earn.

140 million Taiwan dollars, which is already equivalent to the annual salary of many senior white-collar workers in Baodao.
