China Entertainment started from Nortel 96

Staying at the scene may affect the results of the blind audition. After Qi Wei, Tan Yonglin, Zhang Guorong and other instructors and Lin Xilei said hello and chatted for a few words, they left the recording scene of "The Voice of China".

Now that it’s August, Qi Wei’s promotional work for his new album has ended.

According to the schedule, Qi Wei will return to Zhang Bearded's crew to continue filming "The Swordsman".

Zhang Dabeard had already called Qi Wei several times to urge him. The people waiting over there were impatient, and it seemed that there was no way to delay him any longer.

However, before Qi Wei left Beijing, he went to the company to take care of some matters.

The first is the sales volume of the new album.

It has been more than three weeks since the release of Qi Wei's new album, and the official sales in the mainland have reached 130 million. According to estimates, if nothing unexpected happens, the sales of Qi Wei's new album will exceed 150 million in the first month.

This sales performance is similar to the first month sales performance of Qi Wei's first two solo albums.

In today's environment where rampant piracy is having an increasing impact on the traditional recording industry, this result is actually quite good.

For other singers, that is the ceiling. For Qi Wei, although it is not the best, it is still acceptable.

The best-selling album of Qi Wei Records was the third solo album released last year. It sold 150 million copies in two weeks last year and more than 500 million copies were sold throughout the year.

The sales volume was so high last year because of the bundling strategy, which was bundled with the sales of DVD players.

This year, a DVD player has been appointed as the spokesperson, but it can only be partially bundled. The sales volume will definitely not be as good as last year.

Increasing piracy will severely weaken record sales. Qi Wei's first two solo albums only sold more than 200 million copies annually.

But the bundling strategy can effectively avoid this problem, and this year is also the case. The annual sales volume of Qi Wei Xin Zhuan can reach at least 300 million.

Each of Qi Wei's albums can bring tens of millions of profits to himself and the company, and the cost of producing and promoting the records is also increasing year by year.

Especially this year, the cost of publicity and distribution has reached its peak.

Of course, this publicity fee is more in a book sense.

Why do you say that? Because most of the publicity and distribution expenses of Qi Wei's new album were spent on ring tones.

Qi Wei is the spokesperson of China Mobile, and the ringback tone service launched by China Mobile was used in Qi Wei's new college for the first time.

The specific situation is: Anyone who buys Qi Wei's CDs can go to the business hall to activate the ring tones service for free, waive the one-year rental fee, and download 10 Qi Wei songs for free.

The discount for tapes is smaller, with three months of rental free and two songs available for free download.

The monthly rental fee for the ring tones business is 5 yuan, which is 60 yuan per year. The cost of downloading personalized ring tones ranges from 5 cents to 2 yuan per song. Qi Wei is the most popular singer in the mainland today. His songs It costs 2 yuan for one song, and 20 yuan for ten songs.

Based on this price, Qi Wei's new album will invest at least 80 yuan in publicity and distribution expenses for each CD, which is more than the average selling price of 60 yuan for a CD.

Looks like a loss-making deal.

But in fact it cannot be calculated like this.

Just like Qi Wei selling records, China Mobile also needs to invest in publicity expenses when launching its ring tones business. As Qi Wei is the spokesperson of China Mobile, the one-year rental fee is waived. This is included in China Mobile’s publicity and distribution expenses and does not require Qi Wei’s company to spend any money. .

As for the cost of the songs in the ring tones, the sharing agreement negotiated between Qi Wei and China Mobile is based on Monternet, which is 85:15, Qi Wei's company gets 85.

According to this share, there is basically no actual investment in publicity and distribution costs for ring tones.

It even made a profit.

The new personal assistant Huo Siyanhui reported: "Boss, all the songs of your new high school have been downloaded more than 50 times, including "Have to Love" and "Jiangnan" more than a million times, and nearly half of the old songs have been downloaded more than 50 times. "

Although Qi Wei's new album has sold more than 120 million genuine copies in the mainland, most of them are tapes, and less than one-third are CDs.

In addition, many people who buy Qiwei Records do not have mobile phones or are not mobile users, and some of them cannot activate ringback tones.

Of course, not all those who have opened the ringback tone are those who purchased Qiwei Records. Ordinary users will also open the ringback tone.

The number of downloads of the new album's ringtones was reasonable, but the number of downloads of the old songs surprised Qi Wei.

"Bring the data over and let me see it," Qi Wei said.

Huo Siyan immediately handed over the data and explained:

"Boss, you don't know how many ardent fans you have. I did a special survey and found that many of your fans downloaded all your songs after they opened the ringtone service, just like me."

Huo Siyan took out her mobile phone, like a child who wanted a reward.

"So that's it." Qi Wei couldn't help but laugh.

The reasons for this are indeed huge, but Qi Wei's old songs have a wide audience and cannot be separated from dry cleaning.

Qi Wei looked at the data and found that songs like "Autumn Will Not Come Back" and "Lonely Northern Hemisphere" were downloaded a lot.

"The audience still has the same taste, and earthy love songs are still king." Qi Wei murmured.

"Two Butterflies", "Mouse Loves Rice", and those songs from Phoenix Legend

Qi Wei just came back from the recording site of "The Voice of China" and met those people.

Qi Wei couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth.

This is just the beginning, you will earn more when you reach the peak in a few years.

Because the CRBT software was developed by Qi Wei and Brother Xiaolu and others, and the downloaded music website was developed by a team recruited by Qi Wei, every song downloaded by CRBT will be shared by Qi Wei's company.

It’s not just Qi Weihe’s songs, but also songs from other companies.

Of course, the share of songs from other companies is very small, but the more songs you download, the less you get and the more you get, which is also a huge amount of income.

There will be hundreds of millions in the future.

Thinking of this, Qi Wei felt much happier.

After talking about the new album, Huo Siyan continued to report on the movie.

"Boss, the box office results of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" have been released." Huo Siyan handed another piece of data to Qi Wei.

Huo Siyan did not dare to mention the box office of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", which shows that the performance of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" was not very good.

Qi Wei took a look at the data and saw a box office of more than 1900 million yuan.

This box office is more than 1500 million more than the 400 million box office of later generations, but this is because Qi Wei invested more publicity resources. It does not mean that the film has been recognized by more mainland audiences.

"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" has been in theaters for a month now and is still in theaters.

For a blockbuster like "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" with an investment of over 100 million, the release cycle would not be too short under normal circumstances, but now many cinemas have released the film, and only a few cinemas are "living on".

It is enough to show that the domestic market does not recognize this movie.

"In other words, this movie can have a maximum box office of 2000 million?" Qi Wei asked.

Huo Siyan nodded. There were too few theaters still showing the film. Even if the release cycle was extended, the box office would probably only be more than 100 million.

Certainly not too much.

This box office performance is actually very good, and it can enter the top ten box office in the mainland this year. However, compared with the investment of over 100 million, it is obviously not good enough.

According to one-third of the box office share, the publicity and distribution expenses will only be recovered.

Huo Siyan remembers that the company gave 1500 million yuan to this drama.

Huo Siyan looked at Qi Wei with some worry and found that he didn't care much. After reading it, he threw the document on the table casually, his face still looking so relaxed.

"This is a loss of more than 10 million."

But when I think about Qi Wei's current worth, well, I was overly concerned. "Boss, Zhang Guorong called me. "Suspect" will be released in Hong Kong City in August and asked if you have time to attend the premiere."

"It will take several days to go back and forth, so forget it."

I've already taken a month's leave, and I asked for leave again just a few days after filming. I guess my beard is going to be bristle.

The impact is not good either, so take some time off.

Qi Wei added: ""Suspect" is scheduled to be released in the Mainland and will be released at the end of September. Please inform him."

Huo Siyan nodded and continued to report other things, but soon she discovered that the boss's attention was no longer on her.

Well, I came at the wrong time.

Huo Siyan was also a little absent-minded.

Being Qi Wei's personal assistant was not as easy as she imagined.

Not only because there are many things to deal with and report at work, but also personal matters.

"Damn it, I didn't expect him to have so many women!" Huo Siyan complained in her heart.

The boss is very romantic, Huo Siyan knows this, but to Huo Siyan, the boss is much more romantic than she imagined.

He has so many women.

It doesn't matter if it's more, it doesn't matter if it's that kind of one-night stand, but the boss is not the kind of person who picks up watermelons and throws sesame seeds away. Everyone in Delongwangshu wants to have it.

This greatly increased Huo Siyan's workload.

There are many women calling every day, arranging the boss's schedule, which woman to meet, and what reasons to use to prevaricate other women. This is enough to make Huo Siyan very anxious.

I don’t know how the first two persisted.

I don’t know if I can persist until the end.

Huo Siyan's head hurts every time she doubts life like this.

Now Qi Wei has not let Huo Siyan handle the matter of having a child, otherwise she will have more headaches.

"Boss, the report has been finished. I'm going out first. If you need anything, please report to me."

After the report, Huo Siyan breathed a sigh of relief, but seemed to have no intention of leaving.

Some people refused to let him leave, and suddenly a hand stretched out and grabbed her hand.

A woman's hand.

Li Xue, who had just experienced a hearty exercise, was dripping with sweat. She opened her eyes slightly, looked at Qi Wei with charming eyes and said:

"I really can't do it. I know you're not enjoying yourself, so I need her to replace me."

She hugged Qi Wei's neck and whispered in her ear: "Don't tell me you haven't captured her yet, just stay here with me."

After saying that, Li Xue looked at Huo Siyan, indicating that it was your turn to work.

Personal Assistant Jobs.

Huo Siyan couldn't help but laugh. Why did she become Qi Wei's personal assistant? It was just to capture this moment!

She began to unbutton her business suit.

The clothes on his body were falling like snowflakes.

She joins in.

Qi Wei's new album is a hit, the MV has been well received, and the MV director has also benefited.

Except for the MV for "Superman Can't Fly" starring Wang Zuxian, which was directed by Xu Ke, the MVs for other songs in Qi Wei's new album were all directed by Zhang Jingchu.

At this moment, Zhang Jingchu was in a very happy mood and was chatting with a woman in a coffee shop.

The woman is not beautiful in appearance, and there is a hint of youthfulness in her generous face.

People who don't like her will think that she has a low nose bridge and a big face, which makes her not particularly good-looking, and think that she is not suitable to be an actress.

It was precisely because of this that she took the Chinese Opera exam for three consecutive years before passing the exam. After passing the exam, she originally planned to become an actor, but finally studied directing at the suggestion of her teacher.

"This is the signed album you want." Zhang Jingchu took out Qi Wei's signed new album from her bag and handed it to the woman.

"Senior Sister, I didn't expect you to still remember it. Thank you so much, Senior Sister." But the woman looked very happy, holding the album as if she couldn't put it down.

In fact, the woman is several months older than Zhang Jingchu, just because she took the exam for several years before passing the exam this year.

There was a bit of acting involved. Zhang Jingchu smiled and did not reveal it, but said: "We are so speculative. If we had met earlier, maybe I could recommend you to shoot his MV. It is really a pity."

Zhang Jingchu added, "But now that you're majoring in directing, I don't know if you'll still be an actor in the future."

"There is no conflict between being a director and an actor. Director Zhang has also been an actor and won the Best Actor Award. Jiang Wen became a director while filming. Of course I would like to film if there is a chance to film. I also want to be like you, senior sister."

The woman knew that Zhang Jing originally planned to be an actress, if she hadn't been "saved" by Qi Wei.

If possible, she would also like to follow Zhang Jingchu's old path.

Zhang Jingchu is pretty, and she is not bad either. Although they are both majoring in directing at the Chinese Theater Department, she is only a college student, while he is a bachelor.

Although she has not yet entered school, the woman does not think she will be worse than Zhang Jingchu.

The only thing missing is the opportunity.

This is also the reason why women took the initiative to contact Zhang Jingchu.

I really thought it was an old friendship at first sight, but I regret meeting you too late.

The woman had Zhang Jingchu’s agenda, and Zhang Jingchu had the woman’s agenda.

"He is tall, has a childlike face, and has a rare literary and classical temperament. He should like it."

After all, Qi Wei is a literary artist, so Zhang Jingchu naturally thought that Qi Wei would like a woman with such a literary temperament.

"Tang Wei, since you still want to be an actor, that's great. I happen to be preparing a movie."

"Senior sister? Are you preparing a movie?" Zhang Jingchu's words surprised the woman.

The domestic film market has been particularly sluggish in the past two years, especially after the lowest point last year. It is particularly difficult to attract investment in film production this year.

Even internationally renowned directors like Director Chen have gone to work on TV series, let alone others.

Zhang Jingchu smiled and nodded, and said: "The MV I shot was approved by him, and this is his reward for me."

"So that's it. Congratulations, senior sister."

Women don’t recognize the reward he gives you just because Zhang Jingchu’s MV was good. There must be other reasons.

I understand everything I understand.

He was able to direct a movie not long after graduation, thanks to Qi Wei's support.

It undoubtedly increased women's curiosity and thoughts about Qi Wei.

"Don't congratulate me first. I haven't even written my horoscope yet. Only when the movie script is approved by the company can I get investment from the company. But now I don't even have an idea of ​​what I want to film. You happen to be studying directing. What's the point? Just some suggestions." (End of Chapter)
