China Entertainment: Starting from 07 Kuainan

Chapter 322 Continued Pressure

2 month 26 number.

"whistle" landed on the bulletin board in second place, narrowly beating out "tik tok".

Although the first, second and fifth places on the singles chart are all songs by Lu Yuan, the overall data is not particularly good.

Especially on Friday, the download volume of "tik tok" surged.

After learning about this from Max, Lu Yuan had already anticipated the rankings on the Billboard next week.

No need to think about it, the first place must be "tik tok".

Being close to the people is a very important point.

Aerobics are popular in North America,

However, Lu Yuan is not the kind of person who just surrenders.

Friday.

It's [-] p.m. Los Angeles time.

Universal Music Group held a press conference. On March 3st, Lu Yuan’s second English album will be released globally!

The original plan was to release the second album "on the way" between March and April.

The specific day depends mainly on when "Call Me Maybe" will be released from the charts.

Now, Universal Music ‘suddenly’ officially announced the album release date, which is not too sudden.

At the same time as the official announcement was made, the crew of "The Good Doctor" also had to adjust the shooting plan, and Lu Yuan had to take five days off.

It takes a day and a half to travel back and forth, and there are three and a half days left. The album launch will take half a day, and in the next three days, several programs need to be recorded.

of course.

Before flying to America, he had to go home.

Although Lu Yuan's request for leave was sudden, other actors in the same crew could understand.

After all, in the eyes of most people, being a singer is his main job and his base.

"Xiaoyuan, I wish you a great album sales!"

"Boss, the album is a hit!"

"Come on, make more gringo money!"

"Ayuan, I wish you success!"

Before bidding farewell, other members of the group sent their blessings.

Sony Records.

"idiot!"

boom!

Hirata Ichiro's cell phone suffered another disaster.

Universal Music definitely did this on purpose!

Absolutely!

There is an old saying in China: once you gain momentum, it will decline again, and then you will be exhausted.

Last week, "Tik Tok" had a chance to hit the top of the list, but it was overshadowed by the news about Lu Yuan's official concert.

If there are no surprises, the next number one on the singles chart will definitely be "Tik Tok".

But now, unexpectedly, it comes.

Two songs, sixteen consecutive championships, even if Lu Yuanren is not in America, his name is still hot.

Although Lu Yuan debuted only two years ago, the album he released in 08 is still on the Billboard 200 album list.

The album released in 2008 ranked ninth on the North American album sales list in 162 with sales of 2009 million copies.

By 2010, daily sales ranged from 2000 to 5000 per week.

If two songs hit the top spot for [-] consecutive weeks, the sales in a single week could exceed [-]. In these [-] weeks, "Lucas·Lu" has sold more than [-] for [-] consecutive weeks.

In addition to physical and digital albums, the sales volume of the "Lucas·Lu" collector's edition is also very good, and the price of the collector's edition is twice that of the official version.

$26.99.

It was launched in March 09 and has sold around 3 million copies worldwide.

This alone brought Lu Yuan an income of US$1300 million.

Although it is before tax, it is still $800 million after tax.

Half a billion in income!

Records in Europe and the United States are really profitable. If Lu Yuan released two albums a year, his personal revenue would be as much as Star Media's revenue in a year.

However, the account cannot be calculated like this.

There is a limit to personal income. Even if Lu Yuan worked [-] days a day and held two concerts a week, his income would be over a billion at most.

The income generated by Xingchen Media's film and television dramas and artists has grown significantly higher than that of individuals.

In 09, the income of artist management was about 2600 million. This year this number will at least double.

Next year, as hot money from all sources continues to pour in, it is expected to continue to double.

It's not that easy for Lu Yuan to double his personal income. After all, he doesn't have the ability to double up, and he can't hold eight concerts in a row.

……

……

The next day.

After a delicious breakfast, Lu Yuan boarded the flight to North America.

Before the plane took off, Max's phone call came as promised.

"Hey Lu, what time do you land?"

"If it's not later, it should be three o'clock in the morning Los Angeles time."

"OK, I'll wait for you at the airport then."

"No need?"

Hearing that Max was coming to pick him up, Lu Yuan was instantly alert.

The executive vice president of Universal Music Group picked up the plane at three in the morning. Is it reasonable?

Not at all reasonable.

There is nothing to be courteous, and it is either a traitor or a thief!

"Haha, Lu, you are the ace of our Universal brand now. An ace must be treated like an ace."

Max and Lu Yuan had a sloppy fight, found a random excuse, and then changed the subject.

"By the way, let me tell you a little tidbit."

"An interesting thing happened at Sony today, haha. That little guy smashed the phone angrily in the office because of you."

"Then, an employee happened to bump into me."

"Haha."

"Ok."

Lu Yuan said straight to the point: "Max, something must be wrong with you."

"no!"

Max denied it.

"Max, tell me, we've known each other for so long, is there anything that we can't talk about?"

the other side.

Max's face showed a bit of embarrassment, and then he smiled mischievously.

"Okay, Lu, I really can't hide anything from you."

"Originally, I planned to wait until you arrived to talk about this matter. That's it. The company wants to add a few more concerts."

Lu Yuan looked calm and said: "How many games?"

He was not surprised at all when he heard the news.

Touring is the most profitable business for singers.

The same goes for record companies.

Max coughed twice, and then said politely.

"The company conducted a market survey some time ago, and the response from fans was very enthusiastic. The tour on the road only had ten shows in America."

"Not enough at all."

"According to the survey results, 18 games is a more appropriate number."

"Cough cough."

"Lu, I know you are very busy at work. You are not only a talented singer, but also an excellent actor and a successful boss."

"For the extra eight games, one can be removed from Europe, South America, and Oceania. This is equivalent to saying that you only need to add five games."

"Max, let's talk about it after we meet."

Lu Yuan pondered for a moment and gave an answer. He closed the possibility without a word.

five games.

It only takes half a month to catch up.
