Beijing, CBD Central Business District South, Global Building, 39th floor, Light Rain Media Co., Ltd.
In the general manager's office, Dong Yu carefully read the thick financial statements. The coffee on the table was already cold.
Light Rain Media was only established a few months ago. It was considered a newcomer in the industry. So far, the number of employees had not exceeded 50. However, with the development of the business, the work began to become very busy.
Dong Yu had been working overtime. For her, to be able to take control of such a vibrant new company and then develop it was a wonderful experience with a sense of accomplishment.
Knock! Knock!
The door of the room was gently knocked. Without waiting for Dong Yu's response, the person pushed in.
Dong Yu didn't raise her head because she knew that in the entire company, only one person would do this.
Light Rain Media's Director, Su Qingmei, Miss Su!
Su Qingmei held two pieces of printed paper in her hand. She quickly walked to Dong Yu's desk and said with a smile, "Sister Yu, the promotional results of The Bionics single are out. It's a hundred percent going to be a hit!"
Because of the excitement, a charming bright red appeared on her pretty face, making her even more charming and charming.
Dong Yu put down the report and smiled faintly, "We have invested millions. If we can't produce results, then I should resign as the general manager."
The Bionics wasn't the first band signed by Light Rain Media, but it was the first group to debut.
Light Rain Media Company was undoubtedly weak in this industry where the big shots were as common as clouds. Even though Dong Yu and Su Qingmei had their own family backgrounds to rely on, in this industry, they still had to follow the rules.
Therefore, the success of the first packaging operation after the opening was particularly important!
For this reason, Light Rain Media spent a lot of manpower and material resources. Recently, the entire company was busy around The Bionics. Now, they finally saw the preliminary results.
Just the funds invested in online media accounted for 70% of the budget!
Nowadays, the entertainment industry was incomparably closely connected with the online world. It had become the main battlefield for most stars to promote themselves. It was wishful thinking for newcomers to stand out without spending money to buy a position.
Of course, the effect of spending money, to a large extent, depended on the strength.
Dong Yu had confidence in The Bionics, or more accurately, in The Bionics' new song, so she decisively released The Bionics first, instead of the North Needle band that was signed earlier.
The two thin pieces of paper in Su Qingmei's hands bore the weight of her success and failure!
The Bionics' lead single "In The Spring" had 115 million views on Youshi's website, with a favorable rating of 93.26%!
Tomato Web: 73 million views, 95.02% positive rating!
QQ Music: 15.6 million plays, 97.46% favorable rating!
Easy Net Music: 12.77 million plays, 96.98% positive rating!
Pop radio station: "…"
Such a result was so hot that it was scalding hot. It was inevitable that it would sell like hotcakes!
Su Qingmei said proudly, "Judging from the data summarized by various websites, the online promotion of this song is the best this year. Both Youshi and Easy Net Music hope that we can continue to chart. QQ Music has re-evaluated the download expectation of the new album and intends to negotiate with us again!"
She had no reason not to be proud. QQ Music was the largest music website in China. Relying on hundreds of millions of QQ users, it represented the trend of domestic pop music to a large extent. If it wasn't for the trend of "In The Spring" to become a phenomenal work, this industry giant would never have taken the initiative to renegotiate the contract with Light Rain Media.
The original conditions of cooperation proposed by Light Rain Media were directly passed by QQ Music.
How could a small Light Rain Media be qualified to bargain with them?
Right now, even Dong Yu also felt proud and elated!
She said with a smile, "Then take Manager Song to have a good talk with them. Our first choice is still QQ Music."
Nowadays, the entertainment industry is taking the route of idols and stars. What they earn is the fan economy. No matter how popular a song is, it is simply wishful thinking to recover the cost of publicity through online or CD sales.
QQ Music has the largest number of genuine downloads. A paid download of a song is 1 yuan, and VIP members are 0.8 yuan. More than 100,000 paid downloads are hot sales, 300,000 is considered a big sale, and 500,000 is 99% likely to be their own ranking!
Most people are used to using free online auditions, or free pirated resources.
And for this little money, QQ Music must first take 50%, and singers at least 10%. How can they earn back the cost?
In the past, in the era of non-smart machines, hot song ringtone sales were a piece of fat meat. Now, who still plays with this!
Therefore, the funds invested by Light Rain Media now must be recovered by The Bionics through advertising, notices, performances, variety shows and other channels, and achieve profits.
Of course, because of the huge influence of the Internet, even if it is a loss, it has to be done.
Su Qingmei beamed with joy: "In The Spring is no problem selling well, and it will also drive the sales of the whole album. The other two new songs are also full of potential. Maybe we can earn back most of the cost by relying on online sales!"
Dong Yu sighed and said, "It's a pity that we failed to sign Lu Chen."
When it came to Lu Chen, Su Qingmei's face immediately became embarrassed.
Lu Chen gave a total of three songs to The Bionics and Sister Na, plus two of Qin Yanghan's own original songs, a total of five songs to form a mini album, which was the focus of Light Rain Media's current promotion.
All five songs have been listened to by senior people in the industry. As the main song, "In The Spring" has the highest evaluation. Sister Na's "I Want To Have A Home" and another song were also very well evaluated. Qin Yanghan's two songs were barely qualified.
For a mini album, having three good songs is completely enough. What made Su Qingmei depressed is that these three songs were all written by Lu Chen, and even the single that the North Needle Band is going to release is the same!
Thinking of the loss she suffered from Lu Chen, Su Qingmei always felt her teeth itch.
Anyway, she knew that she can't be willful on this matter, so she pouted and said, "Then I will talk to him again. At worst, I will give him the best conditions. I don't believe that he won't be tempted!"
If in the past, Lu Chen's original works have not been verified by the market, there is still the possibility of uncertainty. But now, his talent is unquestionable and even coveted!
The key is that Lu Chen has not signed a contract with any company so far. He is like a diamond that fell on the street. If Light Rain Media doesn't think of a way to snatch him back, I'm afraid that there will not be another chance in the future.
For the future and development of the company, Su Qingmei can still put down her pride.
But Dong Yu is not optimistic: "That may not be true. I feel that Lu Chen will not sign with anyone. He will do it alone!"
"How about …"
She blinked at Su Qingmei and said, "You can sacrifice your body for the company. As long as you can seduce this handsome young man, you can do whatever you want."
"Sister Yu!"
Su Qingmei's cheeks suddenly turned red and she said angrily, "You are the general manager. If you want to sacrifice, you should be the one to sacrifice!"
Dong Yu said with a smile, "I'm an old woman. He doesn't want me."
As soon as her voice fell, Su Qingmei rushed over, and her delicate hand went straight to her vital parts: "Then I'll take it!"
Laughter rang out, and the office was full of spring scenery!
At this moment, Lu Chen didn't know that he was being remembered and that someone had to sacrifice her body.
He just received a call from Tianzhai Music Workshop.
It was Miss Ni, the business representative of Tianzhai Music Workshop, who called Lu Chen.
These days, in addition to early exercise, Lu Chen basically stayed at home, except for live broadcasts and sorting out songs.
For the 10 songs of his debut album, he spent a lot of energy correcting the details to ensure that all the songs fit perfectly with the works in his memory, and sculpting the lyrics in order to achieve the effect of excellence.
In addition, Lu Chen also wrote out the arrangement requirements of 10 songs, so that once a partner is determined, he can quickly enter the production link, saving a lot of time for communication.
Most importantly, such work is also a process for Lu Chen to improve himself. He doesn't want to simply write songs according to his memory, and then casually throw them out to make money, becoming a moth lying on a mountain of gold.
He hopes to become a well-deserved perfect star through continuous learning, digesting and integrating the spiritual wealth from the dream world!
