From bar band to entertainment circle

Chapter 294 Not as profitable as expected

Through the method I provided, Shen Qier’s car was finally transferred to a music fan. The three of us stood in front of the car and took a group photo. He said he liked the car and our band. At the beginning, he insisted on buying it at the original price. I don’t want to be picked up by the media in the future to talk about spending fans, and finally gave him a discount of 2 yuan. To be clear, he earned it. Not only the procedures are complete, but this car is really very new!
Of course, all of this was after driving the things that could not be taken to BJ to Shen Qier's house for storage.

Fortunately, I asked the fans in the live broadcast room, and I happened to meet a music fan who wanted to change the car. This is much more efficient than hanging on the second-hand market.It's a pity that the landlord didn't refund our deposit in the end, but it doesn't matter, the money can be earned slowly, and the game's theme song must be won.

"Mom, Yunqian and I are already on the high-speed rail, um, we'll be home for dinner tonight, and we'll be there in a while." Shen Qier, who was sitting next to me, was talking on the phone with her family.

We really did a lot of things today, and if there is no accident, we will fly back to BJ tomorrow. I have already informed Li Jian in the group that he will go back directly after finishing the work. Shen Qier and I will not go on the same plane as him.

When I arrived in Shanghai, Shen Qier's parents gave me another warm hospitality, and I was very happy. I drank wine with Uncle Shen again, but this time we ordered as much as I could. I was afraid last time.I stayed at Shen Qier's house for one night, and after lunch the next day we took the subway to Pudong Airport, and the plane slowly lifted off. This time we bid farewell, and we don't know when we will be back.

Goodbye - My South!

Recalling that bleak night at the observatory, I still didn't take the initiative to hug Su Mengyuan, and she threw herself into my arms in the end. This time I didn't resist, and let her sob while beating her back.

"Yunqian, you're an asshole, do you know that? I'm getting engaged in Australia on National Day"

"Then I... wish you happiness in advance! This is your real life, isn't it?"

"Shit, I don't need your blessing, Yunqian, I really don't want to marry him in the future. I have no choice, I have no choice. Now I finally feel how my cousin feels."

"You are a person who is not afraid of anything. Do you dare to disobey your father? Why do you have to listen to him? Su Mengyuan, who I know, has never been able to force her to do something she doesn't like."

"The Su Mengyuan you knew is dead!"

That night, we broke up again, and she probably expected to hear from me the words of salvation to her, and I was half-deaf and half-mute again, pretending to be stupid, some words would be responsible, and I would go Fulfilling those very difficult promises, I knew I didn't have the ability, so in the end she pushed me away, and I watched her drive away from the observatory behind the observation building.

"Yun Qian, what do you want to drink?" Shen Qier patted my arm and asked.

"what?"

I was relieved, and the stewardess was beside me. I immediately squeezed out a smile and said, "Give me a cup of coffee! Thank you!"

……

"Capital, we are back!"

After coming out of Daxing Airport, Lisa was waiting for us at the gate. She is really considerate as the band manager.

"Sister Lisa, I'm bothering you to come and pick me up and Yunqian from such a long distance, I'm really bothering you!"

"No way, we are all on the same team." Lisa smiled and asked, "Have you already taken care of your trivial matters?"

"Well, it's all done, and now I can finally create with peace of mind when I come back!" I laughed.

"That's good. You have to hurry up when you go back. During your absence, I originally wanted to find a lyricist for you, but Qingyao volunteered to write the first draft of the lyric. You can take a look at it later!"

"Good guy, Qingyao hid it deep enough!" I was very relieved to hear Lisa's words.

Shen Qier said shyly, "Hmph, it doesn't matter whose sister it is?"

"Your sister, your sister"

Lisa was amused by our bickering, and suddenly she said seriously: "By the way, I have some good news to tell you. The organizer of the Watermelon Music Festival contacted me yesterday and invited our band to participate in their music festival. This is a good opportunity, I will give it to the next one directly!"

I was shocked and said, "Good guy! Lisa, you didn't announce such a good thing in the group?"

"I don't want to wait for you to come back to give you a surprise!"

"Sister Lisa, does our band have an appearance fee?" Shen Qier's eyes widened, and this is what I want to know.

"Of course! They asked for [-] yuan, and finally I talked about [-] yuan. Don't think it's too low. For a band like ours that is just starting out, it's already very high for them to pay [-] yuan. At the music festival, big bands gathered You must be aware that during this period of time, your songs have been played a lot on the Internet, so I have a bargaining chip to fight for everyone, but now it is the marketing stage, the appearance fee is not the main purpose, the main purpose is to test your live inspiration Let’s see if the music festival fans are inspired by you.”

Shen Qier and I nodded to express our understanding, and then I asked Lisa, "What time and place is that?"

"From the 8th to the 10th of next month, Taiyuan, Shanxi!"

"Taiyuan, I'm already looking forward to this music festival. According to the usual practice in previous years, it's all lineups of senior characters." I clenched my fists and felt a surge of excitement in my heart. This should be the first time our band has participated in such a festival. The big outdoor stage, not only we will participate, but also those big bands who have been in the music scene for many years will also participate.

At that time, we will have to face their fans. Whether our band can drive their live atmosphere will be a very test for us.

Shen Qier said: "Sister Lisa, how much can our band get from the 10 appearance fee?"

"If the band divides it evenly, it will cost thousands of dollars per person!"

Shen Qi'er said in surprise: "I'll go, can't I? How did you get it so little?"

Lisa explained: "This is normal. The company deducts a part, various taxes and fees, and the cost of food, accommodation and transportation. In the end, the five of us share equally. The income from the music festival alone is about the same. Looking at the future development of the band, as long as it becomes more and more popular, it can increase the appearance fee, organize special tours, peripherals, endorsement advertisements, release albums, etc. These are the main sources of income, so, come on!"

"Damn, Miss Lisa, it seems that I thought these things too simply. I used to think that the bands that participated in the music festival would earn tens of thousands per person per performance! I didn't expect that."

Lisa smiled softly, and I said to this: "Shen Qier, just be content! If you don't lose money, it's not bad. Some bands even pay for music festivals, but they have to go. Can't test the market audience's attitude towards this band!"

Shen Qier is like a deflated ball. I used to think the same as she did. I thought that the bands that participated in the music festival would earn tens of thousands of dollars at a time. We imagine it's that simple.

The appearance fee is 10, and our contract with the company is 4 or 6 points. That's right, our band is 4, don't think we are 6, the money is really not that easy to earn.

4 has 6% of various taxes and fees, divided equally between five people, 7500 yuan per person, high-speed rail or air tickets, accommodation, meals, etc., the actual cost is estimated to be around [-] to [-] yuan, and music festivals are not held every day, maybe only a month. Once, making money is not as easy as imagined. If the music festival is only profitable, the income is not even as good as that of an ordinary white-collar worker in BJ.
