Huayu: Starting from intercepting Duan Yu

Chapter 70 The Ringtone Era
When Xu Yi returned home, it was already the 29th day of the lunar year.

There's no way, he's been really frustrated these past few months.

I can't leave Jingtian alone to have fun.

After all, the United States is still very unsafe.

You must not do anything illegal.

So now I can finally eat meat.

Or someone as top-notch as Jiang Xin.

Of course, you have to eat your fill at once!

At the same time, this year's Xu Yi is very different from last year's Xu Yi.

Last year, he was just a new actor who had just debuted.

With his outspoken personality and various novel-sounding "easy-to-understand words", he has gained a certain degree of fame on the Internet.

But this little fame is of no use in reality.

A small shopping mall in his hometown invited him to perform at an event, and his appearance fee was only 20,000 to 30,000 yuan.

He himself also needs a BMW X5 to have a little face in front of relatives and friends.

But this year he is completely different!
The most popular singer in the mainland music scene!

The hottest new actor!

One album made tens of millions!

The two endorsements earned tens of millions again!

He also invested 5000 million yuan to shoot a TV series!
In order to produce special effects for the TV series, he even went to Hollywood!
So much so that Xu Yi had just arrived home.

Immediately afterwards, relatives and friends who came to watch the fun, ask for connections, or even borrow money, began to come in an endless stream.

However, Xu Yi didn't care about these things and left them all to his parents.

Based on his understanding of his parents, he believed that they would be able to handle it.

In addition, they also bought a new house this year.

After he returned to Beijing after the Chinese New Year last year, his parents started looking for houses near their hometown.

Then I chose a newly built community and bought a new house.

Not only that, the housing prices in their community have been rising since they bought the house.

Now it has increased by nearly 15% compared to when they first bought it.

Later, Xu's father and mother went traveling to several places.

I found that local housing prices are also rising.

So after careful consideration, they finally decided to follow their son's advice and start speculating in real estate!
No, it should be buying a house!

At most, you just need to buy a few more sets.

Their family is not short of money now.

Moreover, given Xu Yi's parents' personalities, they are somewhat resistant to things like loans.

What’s more, it’s a house purchase with a loan.

So they decided to buy a few sets in full to try it out.

But they haven't started yet.

I plan to discuss this in detail with my son after he comes back for the Chinese New Year.

Xu Yi naturally had no objection to this.

Not to mention that housing prices will continue to rise.

He originally wanted to find something relaxing for his parents to do.

Real estate speculation is not only easy, but also profitable.

You can also travel all over the country.

It couldn’t be more perfect!

The next day is New Year’s Eve.

In the evening, Xu Yi and his parents gathered together to have New Year's Eve dinner and watch the Spring Festival Gala as usual.

Even the New Year’s Eve dinner on the table is not much different from before.

These are all Xu Yi’s favorite dishes.

And before Xu Yi was reborn, nothing had changed.

It’s just that my parents were a little older then than they are now.

There are more wrinkles.

He also changed from a young handsome guy to a middle-aged handsome uncle.

There are a lot more white hairs on my head, so I need to dye my hair frequently.

In addition, the TV is always on while eating.

It’s just that no one watches the Spring Festival Gala anymore…

……

"Fold a thousand paper cranes and tie a red ribbon" "May good luck come to kind people every day"

"You are hardworking and live a beautiful life. You are healthy and always in spring."

"You are busy all your life just to smile."

"..."

"..."

In the 2004 Spring Festival Gala, Benshan no longer sold crutches or cars, but changed his career to become a water deliveryman.

The skit is average, but it also contains a lot of jokes and gags.

It is much better than just acting awkwardly and forcing positivity in the future.

At the same time, a song became popular during this year's Spring Festival Gala.

That is the song that will be played in all major shopping malls every Chinese New Year in the future - "Good Luck Comes"!
Jay Chou also appeared on the Spring Festival Gala stage for the first time and sang a song "Dragon Fist".

The effect...

That's it.

However, the most popular song at the moment is Daolang's "The First Snow of 2002".

Just half a month after the release of the album of the same name, the legitimate sales have reached nearly one million!

And with almost no publicity!
It also completely opened the era of mobile phone ringtones!

In fact, ringback tone was already available last year, but it was only piloted in four provinces or municipalities.

But by the end of the year, most provinces and cities had launched ringback tone services.

Xu Yi's studio has also signed copyright agency contracts with operators in nearly 20 provinces or municipalities.

Now, the cumulative ringtone downloads of the ten songs have reached about one million.

Total downloads approaching 10 million!

This is just last month’s data!
As mobile phones become more and more popular, more and more users are using ringback tones.

This download volume will continue to grow.

And it’s explosive growth!
At the same time, Xu Yi signed contracts directly with operators in various places.

That is, sign directly with China Mobile.

Therefore, the unit price for downloading once is as high as 3 yuan.

That’s right, it’s 3 dollars!

The cost of replacing a ringtone is 2 to 3 yuan.

However, there is a monthly rental fee of 5 yuan for using the ringback tone service.

In some places, the monthly rent is as high as 10 yuan.

So even if the operator gives Xu Yi 3 yuan, he will still make a profit!

What's more, when China Mobile first promoted its ringback tone service, it had no intention of making money.

I even planned to put in some money.

This is also why many ringback tone service agents have made a fortune during this period.

Because most singers don’t even know what ringtones are.

I didn't know this thing could be so profitable.

So when the agent comes to the door, the singer can sign a ringtone agency contract for the song by spending a little money.

But other singers don’t know that ringtones are so profitable, but Xu Yi knows it very well.

He ignored those agents and directly asked his assistant to contact the local mobile headquarters.

Coupled with his current popularity in the mainland music scene, it was easy to get the contract in the end.

Even if he didn't find it troublesome.

I have to find a singer to sign a contract.

The agents in each province or municipality still operate independently.

He can be an agent himself.

By the time a few years have passed, regardless of the number of goals, it should be no problem to achieve one or two small goals.

But he can also make a lot of money from his own songs.

Nearly 3000 million downloads means nearly million Chinese yuan in copyright fees!
And nearly 3000 points!
In fact, Xu Yi had thought about borrowing some online songs of this era and making a fortune from ringtones.

But the problem is that he doesn’t know the specific release time of these online songs!

Moreover, most of the songs with the highest number of ringtone downloads were released in the past two years!
Some of them have even been released a long time ago, but they just haven’t become popular!

So after thinking about it, I finally gave up.

Anyway, the songs in his own album can still sell well as ringtones.

There is no need to take this risk.

Otherwise, if there really is a car accident, it will be hard to explain!
