Get off work and become the Godfather of Rock and Roll

Chapter 116 A room full of lemons
This is the situation.

Other singers who have released rock albums are popping champagne halfway.

Celebrating their discovery of a new growth point - rock and roll.

Everyone was eating hot pot and singing songs.

It fell into the river with a splash.

What does three million sales in one morning mean?
The final sales volume will be around 12 to 3 million.

Even if the channel share is removed, the singer can still make tens of millions in profits.

But the focus is not on temporary sales, but on the long-tail effect.

There is a formula in the industry that for 90% of works, sales in the first year are lifetime sales.

There are only a few excellent works that can be considered classics and can continue to grow in the long years to come.

The sales volume accumulated in the following decades will be an astronomical figure.

To put it bluntly, he is a goose that lays golden eggs.

This kind of long tail effect exists in various industries, such as the film industry. The money earned by most movies is the money made when they are released.

There are only a handful of films that cross over into classics that will be revisited over and over again and attract new fans.

Another example is the online literature industry. Most books make money during the serialization period, but only a very small number of them can still make money after they are completed.

All in all, I can make a living from copyright in this life.

This is the ultimate dream of all creators in the entertainment industry.

Relying on copyright is the ultimate destination for singers.

Countless talented singers are actually eating the food of their youth, trying to make a profit while the iron is hot.

Once youth is over, if there is no continuous copyright income, then you have to continue to appear in variety shows and participate in movies and TV series.

Otherwise, it will be difficult to maintain a living.

As the saying goes, it is difficult to transition from luxury to frugality. Singers made a lot of money when they were young and spent money lavishly. When they get old, they have no copyright income. If they still want to maintain a luxurious life, they must maintain exposure in other industries.

Countless industry media are reporting on Mai Zishan's new album sales.

At the same time, countless singers fell into mixed emotions.

Bai Xiaojin, who was having a celebration banquet, had a piece of meat in his mouth and just forgot to chew it.

He stared blankly at the messages on his phone.

He thought he was already invincible, who would have thought?
Who would have thought!

Luffy had already left to arrange his next rock album, but he got slapped in the face.

"His new album contains songs that have already been sung, so how can it still have such high sales?"

"What's wrong with my singing? What's wrong with my singing!"

"A lot of zero, a lot of money, how great it would be if it were me!"

For a time, the industry was shaken.

The person who was in the worst mood was undoubtedly the person who was in the same room as Mai Zishan.

They had just been robbed of the movie soundtrack by Mai Zishan, and then they received another dull punch.

Ai Xian never thought that he was just a Mai Zishan who retired from the competition, and now, he suddenly soared?
No wonder, his manager Chen Xin hopes that he will also enter the rock market.

There is a reason!
He secretly glanced at Mai Zishan.

Mai Zishan also knows what this sales volume means.

It means he can hold a music festival~
Sister Lin had already told him about the plans for the music festival last time.

Music festivals are much cheaper than concerts, mainly because the venues are much cheaper. Many small cities that lack industry hope to host some music festivals so that they can make money from tourism.

Sister Lin calculated the cost of venue, stage, security, publicity, logistics, and transportation arrangements for him, and the cost was about 20 million.

Twenty million is not a small amount for Toward the Era, and the music festival’s income depends entirely on ticket sales.

So Sister Lin still hopes that he will accumulate a little more fame.

Therefore, Mai Zishan kept this idea in his stomach first.

But now, with this album sales, I can no longer hold back my thoughts!

Liu Jiahai admired from the side: "It's awesome." As a first-class lyricist, his income relies on the copyrights from his previous good lyrics.

Copyright made it indifferent to him whether he was fired from Baichun.

Now, Mai Zishan is just like him, and he will be able to make a living from copyright in the future!
In the conference room, a group of people who were still competing for the movie theme song fell silent at this moment.

They are all industry elites, and they were all unhappy about the fact that Mai Zishan won the soundtrack for the movie just now.

How do they feel now?

Before that, their view of Mai Zishan was that he was just starting out.

Mai Zishan just started to appear in the public eye last year, and the online Spring Festival Gala gave him a boost.

There shouldn't be too many singers who are just starting out and have great momentum every year.

But at this moment, Mai Zishan really made them pay attention.

For example, Chen Xin, who has always been next to Ai Xian, is silently adjusting Mai Zishan's level in his heart.

From a small villa to a large villa by the sea.

As for the higher-level Sheshan Villa.

Sorry, Sheshan villas are in the deepest area of ​​the Magic City. The cheapest one is 90 million, and the average price is several hundred million.

If it weren't for the appeal of holding concerts stably, it would be impossible to live in the Sheshan Villa.

But I have to say that Mai Zishan impressed him.

Chen Xin sat on a chair three meters away, staring at Mai Zishan, thinking about a question in his head.

How can one discover a singer like Mai Zishan?

His strategy over the years has been to attract already well-known singers.

But Mai Zishan was unearthed purely in the square by the Era.

It seems that it is time to adjust your strategy and use a pair of discerning eyes to find the seedlings in the vast sea of ​​people.

Chen Xin stared at Mai Zishan silently, thinking constantly in his heart.

The protagonist in the conference room, Chen Kexin, did not know what was going on because he was not in the music industry.

No one told him, he just felt that the atmosphere was a bit strange at the moment.

After a while, Chen Kexin said: "Next, let's discuss the movie theme song. I've listened to all your master tapes, and there are a few that are quite suitable."

He was going to name these songs and then choose them.

Everyone in the conference room held their breath to see which songs were shortlisted. The soundtrack in the movie is not the highlight, the theme song is.

Chen Kexin's box office appeal is at the top of the list. If he were selected, he would at least have a million-level exposure.

Just before announcing the list, Chen Kexin glanced at Mai Zishan and said, "Um, don't you have a master tape of the theme song? Have you only prepared one?"

Mai Zishan said: "No, I have a theme song, but I was in a hurry when I came here and didn't record it."

Everyone else in the conference room breathed a sigh of relief.

Not recorded? If I don’t record it, why don’t you go home first?

"What do you mean?"

Mai Zishan asked: "Can you wait for me? I will record it in the afternoon."

The short-haired male singer, Sun Sijie, immediately said, "So many of us are waiting for you?"

Ai Xian also followed up with assists, "If you haven't finished recording, go back first. You can go back and have your celebration party."

His tone was sour.

Mai Zishan ignored them. It was Chen Kexin who made the final decision. It didn't matter what they said.

Chen Kexin yawned first, "Let's do this. You add the contact information of my assistant, record it later and send it to me."

Chen Kexin was very considerate, and Mai Zishan nodded. After adding his assistant's contact information, Mai Zishan and Liu Jiahai exited the conference room.

The atmosphere inside is really depressing, so we might as well evacuate first.

After Liu Jiahai went out, he laughed loudly, "The lemon essence in the whole room made me sour, hahaha."

Mai Zishan was also amused, "Let's go and eat dumplings. There's no need to be jealous."
