Chapter 485 I Remember It

Chapter 485 I Remember It

Singing continuously can be very tiring.

The main purpose of having guest singers at a concert is to allow time for rest and avoid pausing in the middle of the concert and causing the audience to become bored.

I called Chen Yisen in person some time ago, and he readily agreed to help without saying a word. When they met backstage, Fan Wumian greeted him warmly:

"Hey, Brother Yisen, you should have told me before you changed jobs. My studio is in need of a good singer like you."

When the mainland market develops, the commercial value of a potential artist will be comparable to that of a small or medium-sized listed company. This is also the main reason why Fan Wumian prepared to sign Liu Yifei in advance and create the Shenghuo Miaomiao Agency.

In their previous lives, Yang Mi and Di Lieba jointly supported Jiaxing Media's valuation of 65 billion yuan at its peak, which was almost like a money printing machine.

If singers like Eason Chan hold more concerts and take on more advertising endorsements every year, they will be able to bring in at least hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars in net income for Fan Wumian in a few years.

Liu Yifei, on the other hand, has even greater commercial potential.

Even though she was very Buddhist and rarely filmed TV dramas, Fan Wumian remembered that more than ten years later, her personal assets were still as high as 10 billion RMB. She was overwhelmed with endorsements from luxury brands, and could earn several million even if she only appeared on one episode of a variety show.

Which investor wouldn’t like a top-notch money printing machine like this?

Chen Yisen didn't know whether he was being polite or not, so he smiled and replied:
"Really? Then I'm at a huge loss. If I had known earlier, I would have switched to your company and let you be my boss. I could have gotten a few more new masterpieces from you."

"Haha, if you still want to leave, it's not too late to change jobs now."

Fan Wumian really wanted to sign him because his own studio had successfully made Jane Zhang famous and released an album for Zhuang Muxi. It turned out that he could get a share of the music industry and even have extra resources to sign a few more singers.

Hear the words.

Thinking that Fan Wumian would give his artists a higher share of the income, and that there would be opportunities to develop in the film and television industry, Chen Yisen was quite tempted and continued to tell:
"Last year, I had a bad relationship with King Records, and my new album's sales were terrible. It just so happened that at the beginning of the year, Universal Music's subsidiary New Art took a fancy to me and bought the remaining six years of my contract from King Records. The total cost was about 1500 million Hong Kong dollars. The two sides reached an agreement quietly, and I only found out about the change of boss later. If I breach the contract, I will probably have to pay double the amount. If Mr. Fan pays that money, I will be happy to follow you."

The contract was sold to New Baoyi Records a few months ago. During this period, Eason Chan has held nine concerts and released two new albums in March and August respectively.

The so-called good sales are only relative to King Records. The total sales of the two albums barely exceeded one million. After deducting the company's 80% commission, the profit is limited. Most of the income comes from making money from concerts in mainland China.

The song "Ten Years" and the song "After I Left" with the rap part deleted by Fan Wumian, increased Eason Chen's popularity in mainland China and attracted countless mainland fans to buy tickets to attend the show.

Fan Wumian asked tentatively:
"That means it will cost around 3000 million Hong Kong dollars, right? Can the copyrights of songs like "Ten Years" and "This Day Next Year" be transferred to you as well?"

"It shouldn't be a problem. They're all at New Baoyi now, including the song "After I Leave" that you sold me. I'll tell you in advance, if you poach me, remember to give me more filming opportunities. I'm short of money to buy a wedding house."

"Okay, I'll send someone to ask after I finish my work today."

Because Fan Wumian made a fortune in the entertainment industry, various investors came to invest in advance. Even Pony Ma from Penguin Group asked him whether he should set up a separate film and television company.

After Alibaba cooperated with Huayi Brothers, it launched several widely watched film and television projects in succession, which achieved quite good publicity and promotion effects. This made Pony Ma feel that instead of spending money on advertising, it would be better to invest in some film and television dramas to minimize the cost of acquiring customers.

Fan Wumian only advised Xiao Ma Ge to pay more attention to the "overseas plans" of online games and Weibo. By the way, he also mentioned the idea of ​​investing in an "Internet second-hand goods trading platform" and asked Xiao Ma Ge to focus on Dongjing Mall.

Given QQ's huge user base, it would be a shame not to get involved in online shopping.

With the influx of capital, it is only a matter of time before the pie is made bigger, which prompted Fan Wumian to sign a group of potential or mature artists while the price is more appropriate.

Chen Yisen, who is neither famous nor low in fame and only lacks some representative works, is just the right person. He is also particularly short of money and does not need Fan Wumian's big promises to stimulate him. He has the attributes of a "holy ox and horse".

After chatting for a few minutes, I went to say hello to the Twinns band who were also there to sing tonight.

Ah Sa speaks slowly and softly. She is envious of the good looks of all the members in the Allure Girls group and is worried that her fans will fall in love with someone else.

Ah Jiao was still obsessed with the handsome guy as always, busy lusting after Fan Wumian's body, and asked him if he wanted to go out for a few drinks after singing tonight.
Coming soon.

Fan Wumian took a deep breath to adjust himself, and hid behind the door to look out, getting used to such a huge stage in advance. When he went to the bathroom, he met Guo Biting from the Allure Girls group at the door.

This girl has a young model face and is born with milky white skin. Her current appearance is very high, so much so that she successfully attracted a large number of fans during the broadcast of the variety show "Idol Producer".

Seeing Fan Wumian, Guo Biting seemed to be frightened. She lifted her hair to her ears with her hands, not daring to look at him any more, and whispered:

"Hello, boss. Congratulations on your successful press conference. We were just talking about some of the designs that were so beautiful."

"Hello, are you nervous about going on stage? How is your group doing lately?"

"Not bad, I often go to events, some of them have received advertisements, and have been spotted by directors and signed to act in movies."

After Guo Biting finished speaking, she realized that it sounded a bit sour, and quickly added: "Someone else also interviewed me, but the role was not suitable."

In order to prevent the entire group from falling apart prematurely, Fan Wumian referred to the situations of some other teams and designed an "individual + team" income sharing model.

After the Allure Girls group makes money, the company takes half of it first, and each individual takes 60% of the remaining private work, and the remaining 40% is put into a separate fund pool and distributed equally at the end of the year.

The money earned by the entire group is divided equally after the company takes a cut, but apart from participating in commercial performances and taking on a small amount of advertising endorsements, there are not many opportunities for all members to perform together.

This will not only prevent members who earn more money from suffering too much loss, but also prevent some members from making no money at all and thinking of changing jobs and going solo.

There are nine members in the group, and their development prospects are bound to be good and bad. It is estimated that the gap will soon be widened. This is an inevitable result. Everyone stands on the same starting line and can only look at their own opportunities.

Fan Wumian smiled and encouraged:
"Come on, you are so beautiful, there will be plenty of opportunities. I have high expectations for you."

After hearing this, Guo Biting was instantly surprised, her big eyes brightened up a bit, and she said with a smile:
"Thank you, boss! I'll do my best!"

Suddenly I remembered that Valentino was still short of some models so that we could take posters for some of its products and print them in the brochures.

Feeling that Guo Biting's image and temperament were particularly suitable, Fan Wumian took out his cell phone and said, "Give me your number. I may need you to help with something recently."

In an instant.

Guo Biting couldn't help but think about something more. Her heart was beating like a little rabbit.

Her face flushed slightly, and she didn't dare to look at Fan Wumian any more. She whispered:

"Okay, boss. We're going to start recording new songs and filming a few music videos tomorrow. We should all be in Hong Kong City recently. Just call me if you have anything."

Looking her up and down, Fan Wumian remembered her look in Tiny Times and reminded her:

"Use the middle-parted hairstyle more often in the future. I think it suits you best. Go for the fresh and refined artistic girl style. Post photos on Weibo more often."

".Yes, I remember it."

"."

When he first heard the Taiwan accent, Fan Wumian found it very interesting. He put away his phone, waved his hand, went to the bathroom, flushed the toilet, and came to the rest room again.

As he was about to go on stage and checking his outfit, his cell phone vibrated slightly.

After watching it, I found a text message from Guo Biting, which read in traditional Chinese characters: "Come on! Boss, you look so handsome today."

There is no reply yet because the staff came to help him install the in-ear monitor.

The singer cannot hear himself and the accompaniment clearly on the spot, and needs an in-ear monitor to maintain the rhythm and pitch, otherwise it will easily end up as a major failure.
