Chapter 40
The national frenzy triggered by the Kensington Award has led to a huge market response. For example, Hara Shang's album sales have soared as a result, and Sihai Group's stock has also surged a lot. Other companies in the industry are constrained by the high and strict requirements of the market and are cautious.
The first wave of income from the original album was hit at this time.
The total sales volume of physical digital albums at home and abroad exceeds one million. Even though digital albums are relatively cheaper, this is not a small income. After excluding the share given to him and Hurricane Records by Sihai Group, and then paying the corresponding marketing expenses, it is still
There is a surplus, and this is the first time in recent years that the group has released a profitable album.
As soon as the data came out, the entire company's top management fell silent. The domestic music market was in a slump, and many companies had abandoned the music sector for better development. However, this was an industry that Sihai had made a fortune in before. Qin Huo persisted and insisted.

. He has been throwing money into it as if it were charity over the years. Although the shareholders dare not disobey, they all have some opinions in their hearts. In their opinion, this money is used to hire a few popular niches to film a few idol movies.
I'm afraid the income from TV dramas will be greater than from music.
But now, not to mention the original album, a single rising stock has brought the company a return that far exceeds that of ordinary film and television investments. Many people have realized that it is possible to make money by making music in China.
In fact, this is also the new understanding of many bosses of other companies. The stocks in Sihai make them extremely excited. The trend of blind investment in the domestic market is not uncommon at any time. Some singers in the industry soon discovered that the market
Investment in records suddenly increased a lot.
For example, Mingcheng Film and Television, which is best at following the trend of investment, Jiang Xie, who had been sitting on the sidelines after signing the contract except for the single collaboration with Ren Pingsheng, was suddenly informed by his agent that the company had approved two million in production funds to release an album for him.
This was of course overjoyed good news for the singers, but what the manager said made Jiang Xie feel unspeakably sad.
"The song I collaborated with Teacher Ren on before was not a hit. The company is willing to give money this time. It really has high expectations for you. Look at Yuan Shang, who was selected from the same draft as you. At that time,
You are not as good as you. Now you have gone abroad and won awards and are being flattered by a lot of musicians. It seems that the music market is picking up. If we work harder, we will definitely surpass him."
Jiang Xiexin said to him, boss, Yuan Shang’s album exploded this time because the music market is picking up? Are you fucking kidding me? You have to work harder to surpass others, surpass nmlgb, Yuan Shang is talented in writing and singing, and he can still do it all over the world.
In addition to the music team of the whole company, they have recruited Hurricane Records to work together. Mingcheng Film and Television wants to make a big hit record. What about the team? What about the arrangement? What about the post-production? What about the marketing? Can two million break the sky? This is truly thinking from the heart.
What do people who make music do?
But everyone in Mingcheng, from his agent to the boss who made the investment plan, obviously didn't understand the record market well enough, and they were all here for money. Jiang Xie couldn't explain to them, and could only become more and more sad about the terrible current situation in the music industry.
As a singer, Hara Umi is indeed very good, but if the production cycle of the entire Chinese music market cannot be changed, I am afraid that only this one person can achieve such a dazzling success.

Yuan Shang also has a sense of mission that is unique to him. He loves music, and he is not the kind of person who just longs for a single family. Otherwise, why would he hide behind the scenes and write songs for Ren Shengsheng in his previous life, and promote him to become a superstar? Money, this thing,
He has been lacking it since he was a child. In fact, it is just a tool that makes life more comfortable, and it does not force him to work hard for it. The reason why he yearns for the music scene so much and is willing to devote a lot of effort to it is that what he pursues is actually
Just a sense of mental pleasure.
Maslow once said that human needs can be divided into five major levels, from low to high, namely physiological needs, safety needs, social needs, esteem needs and self-actualization needs. When a person can satisfy the needs of food and clothing, what he pursues
The goal will be higher and higher, which is the instinct that promotes human survival and social development. Social stability,
Harakami has no worries about food and clothing, is full of social skills, and never lacks the respect of others. He was born with a silver spoon in his mouth. From the first day he landed, the only question he had to consider was how to realize his social value.
His ambition is never limited to making money and becoming famous, he wants to do more, such as changing the entertainment industry.
His request to set up a separate studio was actually within Qin Huo's expectation.
The contract signed between Harakami and the company was very short. From the beginning, Qin Huo did not expect to be able to completely tie him down. After Harakami showed his talents step by step, he undoubtedly strengthened his judgment. With Harakami like this
Talented musicians cannot be willing to be bound by a company forever.
If a star signs a contract and opens a personal studio, it means that he will have wider authority and more opportunities. He can even be his own boss and sign some artists for development. Of course, all profits from the studio during the contract period will still be given to the company.
One point, to be honest, judging from Yuan Shang's current development prospects, it is not arrogant for him to propose this condition. But somehow, faced with such a reasonable request, Mr. Qin Huo was reluctant to pass it. It seems that after establishing the studio,
Yuan Shang will be out of the company's jurisdiction and will have nothing to do with him anymore.
