156 Sales Impact and Revenue

On August 1st, Lin Zhiying released a new album "Men Are Easily Deceived";

Wu Qixian released a new album "Wise Words";

On August 3, Wang also released his new album "Blank Paper".

It's not that they don't believe in evil, they want to challenge Ye Fan when "The Wind Rises" is gaining momentum.

Well, except for a certain Wang who is stubborn, he feels that they are both young people and new generation singers. He thinks that his talent is not inferior to that of Ye Fan and wants to challenge Ye Fan head-on. The other two are all because of helplessness.

Because in the latest issue of the magazine at the end of July, "Contemporary Music" predicted the sales of the album "The Wind Rises" in the first month, and the predicted sales volume was an astonishing 1.2 million copies!

The editor-in-chief even wrote an article himself to express his opinions.

He said that since he started working in the industry, he has never seen such a terrifying newcomer in the Chinese music scene. He only debuted for two years and his album sales are high and fast.

Domestic singers have also avoided his edge, and Ye Fan has initially shown his dominance in the Chinese music scene!

Even if there were, they had such influence during the "Tan and Zhang Struggle for Hegemony" in the 1980s and the "Four Heavenly Kings" in the early 1990s. But by the late 1990s, the only ones he saw were Xiao Qi and Ye Fan.

But Xiao Qi's debut and development process are not as scary as Ye Fan.

Let’s not talk about the mainland music scene. In the first year of his debut, Ye Fan can be said to have dominated the mainland music scene. He single-handedly defeated the new generation singers from the two sides of the Taiwan Strait and three places, and supported the reputation of the mainland music scene.

The following year's "The Wind Rises" went without saying its status in the mainland music scene, and it directly surpassed most singers in Hong Kong and Taiwan, waving its sword directly at the "Four Kings" and the kings and queens of the Bay Area music scene.

Before, Ye Fan said "we'll wait and see", but he didn't take it to heart, but now it seems that it's more than just "wait and see", it's simply "the world's attention"!

"Contemporary Music Circle" still has a great influence on the domestic Chinese music scene, especially the mainland music scene.

The editor-in-chief made a speech in person, coupled with the astonishing sales and terrifying chart-topping results of "The Wind Rises", the mainland people recognized his statement and felt very proud. This mentality is not difficult to understand.

However, many people in Hong Kong and Taiwan do not agree with this statement and even sneer at it.

But it's useless if they don't agree. Most people in the industry in these two places can still recognize the reality and know that they can't compete with Ye Fan at this time.

And a certain king is one of the other few people.

Originally, Fumao Records planned to release the album "White Paper" on the market on July 16. If only Zhang Huimei's album was a big seller at that time, it would be okay.

Among male and female singers, the album has little impact and can be released normally. However, Ye Fan appears. Judging from the time, the average daily sales of "The Wind Rises" in Wanwan is no worse than "BAD BOY". This is

Feeling uncomfortable.

As for the album "White Paper", Foremost Records also invested a lot of promotional resources in the early stage, but after half a month's delay, the sales of "The Wind Rises" have not declined.

In addition, a certain king was also dissatisfied and wanted to challenge Ye Fan, but Fumao Records had no choice. If it dragged on, all the publicity money spent would be wasted, so it could only arrange to release it in August.

Mo Qixian is releasing records as planned. After all, he is considered a first-line singer in Wanwan. How can he avoid Ye Fan, a newcomer from the mainland?

In addition, the cost of promoting his new album is much higher than that of ordinary singers. In addition, he debuted early and has many fans in Wanwan. He is confident that he is not afraid of being influenced by Ye Fan. At most, he will not want to go to the mainland market.

As for the "little whirlwind" Lin Zhiying, he had no choice, because after he went to serve in the deputy military service in 1994, his career fell into a low ebb. His inner anxiety made him eager to restore his reputation.

The album "Men Are Easily Deceived" is his attempt to actively prove to the world that he has changed from a boy to a man. It was originally planned to be released in mid-July, but due to the strength of "The Wind Rises", he postponed it.

publish time.

But by the end of July, EMI Records and he couldn't wait any longer, because Wang Jie's new album would be released on August 20, and September was the peak season for many big-name singers to release albums, so the gap period was only around August.

sky.

In addition, because of EMI's reputation as "Little Tornado", they also invested a lot of promotional resources. If it dragged on, the early promotion expenses would be wasted, so they had to bite the bullet and release it.

But on the 4th, after Jingwen announced the latest data for "The Wind Rises", unlike the people in the mainland who were rejoicing, the people in Hong Kong and Taiwan were a little bit mixed.

In these two places, Ye Fan's fans must be very happy. People who know the information about the music industry, some praise and admire, some are bitter, and some refute and criticize their favorite singer.

The people in the industry didn't know what to say other than being surprised and shocked. A certain king even looked desperate. How could this compare to whether the sales of "Blank Paper" in the first month could reach a fraction of the sales of "The Wind Rises"?

It’s hard to say.

If he couldn't achieve it, shame would not be enough to describe his mood!

Because "The Wind Rises" sold a staggering 1.22 million copies in the first month on both sides of the Taiwan Strait and three places, and as of July 31, the sales volume reached a terrifying 1.45 million copies.

The album "The Wind Rises" was released on June 25 and lasted for 37 days, with an average daily sales of 39,000 copies.

On the mainland, due to the prediction made by "Contemporary Music Circle", although many people were surprised that "The Wind Rises" actually exceeded 1.2 million copies, they were much more accepting of it and were more excited and proud.

Even Ye Fan was very surprised when he knew this data, let alone others.

People in Hong Kong and Taiwan who didn't believe it before could only pretend to be deaf and dumb, pretending that they had never said such things before, and they were really acting in their true colors.

The organizer of the Metropolis Awards Ceremony was already in trouble at this time. The leaders of the organizer wanted to slap themselves in the face. Their relationship with Ye Fan had completely broken down.

If such a phenomenal album and singer does not attend their awards ceremony next year, then what authority does their ceremony have?

Without authority, how can we sell awards to other record companies? This will directly affect their actual income.

The only solution now is to repair the relationship with Ye Fan, even if it means losing face. After all, this is related to their annual bonus.

However, most of the organizer's top executives were not optimistic about Ye Fan's participation. After all, everyone basically understood Ye Fan's character. The top executives could only hold meetings and discuss over and over again to find a solution.

The Top Ten Chinese Golden Songs were relieved. Although their relationship with Ye Fan was not good, they did not break up, and there was still room for maneuver between the two parties.

So their organizer, Hong Kong Radio Station, quickly sent people to Yanjing to contact Xu Zhongmin and Zhang Xing. Although Ye Fan was in Hong Kong Island, who knew what his attitude would be. It would be better to have an intermediary to buffer them.

Thanks to this good news, on the 5th, "Young Battlefield" rose to second place on the on-demand list, and the status of "Too Soft" was in danger.

"Start Over", the second-ranked one, returned to the third-ranked position before it sat down for long, and its position was unstable, because "The Wind Rises" overtook "Fly Higher" and ranked fourth.

"Flying Higher" is still ranked fifth, "Stubborn" dropped to seventh, and "Blue Lotus" rose from ninth to sixth.

"Invisible Wings" also ranked eighth, and "Listen to Mom" ​​also rose to tenth, pushing "Friends" out of the top ten on-demand charts. "Listen to the Sea" is still ranked ninth, and it is estimated that it will not be able to move up later.

, who said the mainland is Ye Fan’s home court!

At this point, Ye Fan finally achieved last year's success, once again achieving 7 songs on the chart, dominating the mainland on-demand charts.

This makes many mainland singers tremble after watching it. It is really terrifying. How many on-demand views will it take to achieve this achievement?

Ye Fan was filming with peace of mind and didn't care about the rankings. He was more concerned about when Jingwen would get the money from selling the album.

With sales of 1.44 million copies, Ye Fan estimates that he will receive a sales share of more than 6 million yuan.

Including April to July, in three months, "Youth" and "Stubborn" sold another 200,000 and 400,000 copies respectively, earning almost more than 4 million.

Fortunately, the income is calculated on Ye Fan's studio, but the corporate income tax and cultural and sports tax alone have to be paid 20%. After all the various taxes are calculated, the tax is about 25%. Such an income of 10 million

, it only costs over 7 million to go to the studio.

If personal income tax is included, thinking of this, Ye Fan can't help but sigh, no wonder a certain fan and a certain Shuang are on the road of no return.

However, Ye Fan is a good citizen who abides by the law. Yanjing City has awarded his studio many medals for outstanding taxpayers and large taxpayers.

In addition, the sales and income of novels are also quite high.

As of July, in three months, "Xiuchundao" sold 620,000 copies, "Kunming" sold 550,000 copies, and "Canghai" sold an astonishing 860,000 copies, which brought Ye Fan

An income of 5.16 million.

However, the income from novel royalties has to be paid more taxes. The tax rate is 56% of the personal remuneration income. According to the progressive tax rate of 5.16 million, you have to pay about 1.3 million in taxes, so you only get 3.86 million.

But these are only small amounts of money, and Ye Fan doesn't even look down on this small amount of money now.

Because by the end of July, the Thai baht exchange rate had reached its greatest decline, falling to 32.1:1.

At that time, when the Thai baht exchange rate was 28:1, Shen Xusheng borrowed 1.5 billion baht in U.S. dollars. During the period, the predators sold the Thai baht and exchanged it for U.S. dollars. After the price of the baht dropped, he used U.S. dollars to buy Thai baht.

This cycle repeats, earning the price difference in the middle. By this time, it has earned 28.29 million US dollars, which is another income of more than 100 million RMB.

In August, Suo Dalu took Quantum Fund and began to move to other countries in Southeast Asia.

Since Ye Fan could not remember the time when predators in those countries were harvesting their wool, when Ye Fan met with Shen Xusheng, he asked him to operate with international hot money.

Anyway, there is no leverage, so it’s up to Shen Xusheng to do whatever he wants. According to the short-selling model of the Thai baht, he won’t lose money anyway. As for whether he makes more or less in the end, it all depends on Shen Xusheng’s ability.

Not only Ye Fan, when Li Lianjie was filming these days, he was smiling and proud, and he often paid for extra meals for the crew.

Wang Jing and Liu Jialing were confused, but when they asked him why he was so happy, Li Lianjie just ignored him and didn't tell him the reason.

This made the two of them very curious, and they secretly speculated that either he had made a fortune, or that he and Li Zhi had some happy event.

However, Zhang Yushan discovered some clues. Because Ye Fan was always very polite to her, and the two of them had many scenes opposite each other, she paid more attention to Ye Fan.

Zhang Yushan often saw Li Lianjie talking to Ye Fan in a secluded place and secretly talking about something. She eavesdropped several times when no one was paying attention. Although the distance was a bit far away, she still heard some content, such as:

"It's down again... I've made another 100 million, Xiaofan, how much have you made?"

"Not much, I made about 30 million US dollars... Now the Thai baht doesn't have much profit margin..."

"Haven't Thousand Islands and Malaysia also started to make money? I guess they can make a lot of money..."

"Absolutely. I estimate that if you travel around Southeast Asia, you can earn tens of millions of dollars..."

"Xiao Fan, you are still awesome. In just a short time, your assets have surpassed mine..."

"..."

Although Zhang Yushan didn't hear much, the information above was enough to shock her. She never imagined that Ye Fan had more assets than Jet Li.

This year, Hong Kong media revealed that Li Lianjie's net worth exceeded 300 million Hong Kong dollars, and that Ye Fan was worth more than him. Considering the information he heard, it shouldn't be worth more than 500 million Hong Kong dollars?

Ye Fan's identity as a singer, writer, and actor has never surprised Zhang Yushan, and even the explosive album sales have not surprised her so much.

After all, Zhang Yushan is backed by Shao Daheng, and she has seen many people worth tens of millions.

But how old was Ye Fan at this time? At 17 years old, he could earn so much money, and he looked the most handsome person she had ever seen. This made Zhang Yushan tempted.

Compared with the octogenarian Shao Daheng, Ye Fan is simply the best among diamonds, the best among the best.

Zhang Yushan thought about how her development had been tepid for so many years since her debut. She had long felt that she was not suitable for the entertainment industry.

The appearance of Ye Fan gave her a chance to change her destiny. What woman wouldn't like such a young and wealthy man with a perfect figure and handsome figure?
