Chapter 119 Album Release
mid-October.

Qi Yuan and Zhou Hao brought Jiang Qianye to Zhou Zhou's Three Stone Music.

Jiang Qianye's new album has already been recorded, and the MV is almost finished.

Now, the official release phase of the new album begins.

However, Yuancheng Film and Television Company's ability to release albums is zero.

So Qi Yuan contacted Zhou Zhou.

Three Stone Music has been established for more than ten years, and the entire album release process is very mature.

Sanshi Music is very experienced in album binding, production and recording, to the distribution of albums to audio-visual stores across the country.

The three came to a meeting room of Sanshi Music, where Zhou Zhou was already waiting.

"Brother Qi Yuan, long time no see!"

Zhou Zhou also leads a little girl who looks like she is only 20 years old. She is a bit short, but she looks good.

He introduced the little girl to Qi Yuan and said: "This is Huang Xuanya, a newcomer signed by our company, with a very good voice. Xuanya, call me."

"Hello, Mr. Qi, hello, sister Jiang, and brother Zhou."

The little girl is very cute.

Several people sat down.

Zhou Zhou said: "Brother Qi, according to our family's rules, I, Sanshi Music, need 20% of the income to help release it. You should know this, right?"

Weekend Hao answered: "Mr. Zhou, of course we know this truth. We are very optimistic about Sanshi Music's publishing ability, otherwise we wouldn't choose to cooperate with you."

Zhou Zhou said: "I don't play anything else, but my experience in releasing this album is better than yours. More than 90% of the video chain stores in Huaguo, large and small, cooperate with me, Sanshi, so In terms of distribution and publicity, you don’t have to worry at all.”

Zhou Zhou took a sip of water and continued: "But what I want to say is not this."

Qi Yuan said: "Speak directly if you have something to say."

"Xuanya, kid, it's been almost three months since he signed with our company, and he hasn't released a single song yet. So, I want to see if there is any suitable one at Brother Qi's place, and see if I can give it to you. Xuanya writes a song, so that she can also enjoy singing."

Zhou Zhou raised a hand and said, "Then, for Chiba's album, we only need a publicity cost, which is about 500 million yuan."

In Zhou Zhou's case, when Qi Yuan contacted him, he did some calculations, and the preliminary announcement cost was around 500 million.

Albums are no more than movies. Many movies cost tens of millions of publicity and distribution, and some are even higher than the production cost of the movie itself.

Qi Yuan and Zhou Hao looked at each other, and Zhou Hao nodded slightly.

Qi Yuan said: "Let's do this, Mr. Zhou. I won't cheat you either. I'll write a song for Xuanya, and then Sanshi will take full responsibility for the announcement and release of Chiba's new album. We, Yuancheng, will pay for it with a flat price." 300 million, and then I will give you 10% of the album revenue, what do you think?"

Zhou Zhou smiled and said: "Brother Qi, let's put it this way, the cost of an album is 2 yuan just for us to record it, and there is also the album binding and production, etc. You already have the MV? , but our advertising expenses in major stores, at least, start at 300 million. This is not counting our publicity on the Internet, or participating in some programs, which is not a small expense. The 500 Wan, I can't earn your money."

Qi Yuan glanced at it, sat aside, quietly looked at Jiang Qianye who was talking about business, and said: "We can't save the announcement, the production cost is of course included in the cost, let's talk about that."

Zhou Zhou said: "Let's do this, brother Qi, see if this works. If Chiba's album sells less than 500 million, then 300 million, I agree, plus a song by Xuanya. If you can If it exceeds 500 million, then don’t give me the market price for the excess income, I just want 5%.”

If 500 million albums are sold, the cost price of the disc alone is 1000 million.

For an album, the production of the song itself costs a lot of money.

Still at Qi Yuan's place, he did it all by himself, and he didn't need to pay those songwriters any money.

To shoot the MV, several million dollars were spent.

Now there is also the production and binding of the album itself, which is several million.

There is also a publicity fee!

So in fact, you can’t make a lot of money selling albums. Earning 5 yuan for an album is already very powerful.

The most important thing for a singer is to get money quickly from commercial performances after his songs become popular.

For example, because Qi Yuan became popular after "The Strongest Singer", but he has not participated in commercial performances, this has also caused the price of his commercial performances to rise layer by layer, and now it has reached the level of 120 million three songs.

After listening to Zhou Zhou's words on the weekend, he whispered in Qi Yuan's ear, "It's more reasonable. If you find another company, they won't ask for less than 15%."

Qi Yuan was silent for a while.

It's still not enough to fight alone.

When he was in Tianhao, he never worried about publishing.

Tianhao's publicity ability ranks first in the entire Huaguo.

Qi Yuan secretly set a goal in his heart. When his new album is released, Yuan Cheng must be able to do it.

"That's fine, Mr. Zhou."

After signing the new album release contract with Sanshi, Jiang Qianye seemed very excited.

Sitting in the car, her little face was flushed.

"Boss, I am confident that this album will break through 1000 million sales."

Qi Yuan glanced at her and said, "Why are you so confident?"

"I'm not confident, I'm super confident in you. Every song in the album is very good."

Qi Yuan smiled faintly, and said to Zhou Hao, who was driving: "Old Zhou, your task in the past two months is to figure out all the channels and connections at Sanshi. Come."

The proceeds are distributed to Sanshi 5%. If an album sells for 50 yuan, if the cost is excluded, then Zhou Zhou can get about [-] cents.

Don't underestimate the two cents, if the sales volume of the album exceeds [-] million, it will be millions of dollars in income!
"Okay! I'll follow their people and sort out the whole link. When the boss releases the album, we will do it ourselves!"

On the weekend, I parked the car in front of the Happy Hotel.

Qi Yuan got out of the car and saw Gong Liang standing in front of his bun shop with a refreshed face.

"Yo! Teacher Qi!" Gong Liang waved happily to Qi Yuan, "Do you want to join my shop? I'll give you a friendly price!"

This kid seems to have been enlightened by a fairy in buns in the past few months.

The buns are delicious, and now his Gong Ji Baozi shop has opened five branches in Xidu, and this kid is thinking about opening branches all over the country.

As for his original purpose of coming to the Western Capital a few months ago... he has long forgotten.
