Huayu 2007: Starting with Super Boy!

finance.

See the report.

Wang Yihan beamed with joy.

The popularity of "Heartbreak 2007" was expected.

The app was downloaded a staggering 2000 million times in just one month.

Horror!

The peak daily downloads reached 200 million.

hiss!

It truly deserves to be called a legendary ringtone.

The popularity of "Once Upon a Time" was unexpected.

Although it can't compare to "Heartache 2007" which had 2000 million downloads in a month.

However, its monthly downloads also broke the 1000 million mark, successfully becoming one of the most popular ringtones in the first month of 2007, no, 2008.

The two songs got off to a great start in January 2008.

It has been downloaded a total of 3000 million times.

The price is calculated at 2 yuan per ringback tone.

Total revenue: 6000.

It looks like a lot, but after the operators and SP companies take their cut, only about 15% is left for the record companies.

That is 900 million.

Of the 900 million, Wang Yihan can get 8%, which is 72.

At first glance, it seems like there aren't many.

In fact, there aren't many.

But there's no way around it, the world of ringback tones is too complicated.

When others are eating meat, they're lucky if they leave you a sip of soup.

And this is only the profit for one month.

Ringback tones are a long-term benefit.

As long as the market performance is booming.

One hit song could feed you for at least a year.

Moreover, the ringback tone algorithm is different from the album algorithm.

The album's sales were booming in the first few months after its release, but then plummeted.

Even Jay Chou's music is the same.

In contrast, the sales of ringback tones are remarkably stable.

It achieved 2000 million downloads in its first month and could easily reach 2.4 million within a year.

Those who perform even better will exceed this number.

Therefore, a conservative estimate is needed.

Wang Yihan's two songs earned 72 * 12 = 864 million in one year.

That number is quite substantial.

These days, how many celebrities can earn that much?

Aside from the top few.

These days, second-tier celebrities typically earn only 500-800 million a year.

The first wave of skyrocketing celebrity salaries will have to wait until next year when box office revenue explodes and capital pours in.

As for Wang Yihan, she earned 300 million yuan from commercial performances in the first month of 2008.

It's just an exception.

First: He is currently very popular, and his online traffic is soaring.

Second: He doesn't have a management company that exploits him.

Third: This is just a one-off deal.

They will continue to perform at commercial events.

Even making a million a month would be difficult.

Commercial performances are just riding the wave of popularity.

It's the same principle as how later-generation traffic stars take advantage of their high traffic to amass a huge number of fans.

Once the hype dies down, it becomes worthless.

Thank you Hunan TV for the New Year's Eve concert.

Of course, the 72 yuan in ringback tone revenue still needs to be taxed, so the final amount received is estimated to be only around 50 yuan.

But he never intended to save that money.

As someone who's been through it all, he knows all too well how many glamorous celebrities have ultimately fallen because of this issue.

Moreover, paying taxes is the duty of every citizen.

Wang Yihan didn't get much money.

But Taihe Rye Music made a fortune.

9 million a month, that's 100 million a year.

hiss! ~

He earned more money for the company than everyone else combined.

Oh no.

We need to remove Dao Lang, this "bug," from our system.

That person is another source of wealth for the company.

There are two gods of wealth guarding the place.

Is the company unable to take off?

Therefore, Song Ke was in an exceptionally good mood.

General Manager's Office.

Song Ke personally poured tea and served water to Wang Yihan, the God of Wealth: "Try it quickly. This is a Da Hong Pao tea that I have treasured for many years. I can't even bear to drink it myself. Today, I'm bringing it to entertain you, my great benefactor."

"Mr. Song, you're too kind." Wang Yihan wasn't getting carried away.

"Why call me President Song? If you're being polite, call me Brother Song; if not, call me Old Song, it's fine either way," Song Ke said, feigning displeasure.

Wang Yihan: "..."

"Let's toast with tea instead of wine to the great success of our ringtones!" Song Ke raised his glass.

Wang Yihan raised her glass and clinked it with his, taking a small sip. The taste was indeed quite different from ordinary wine.

It truly lives up to its reputation as a tea that is said to cost tens of thousands of yuan per ounce and is never available.

"Should the company throw you a celebration banquet?" Song Ke asked.

"No!" Wang Yihan waved her hands repeatedly.

Let's keep a low profile.

Make a fortune in silence.

Otherwise, someone will get envious again.

Song Ke nodded knowingly, "Okay! Whatever you say!"

"By the way, do you need an agent?" Song Ke asked casually.

"Will the company assign me an agent?" Wang Yihan asked tentatively.

"That's not what I meant," Song Ke waved her hand.

Wang Yihan only signed a record deal with the company; she didn't even sign an exclusive agency agreement.

The company has no obligation to arrange an agent for him.

Besides, Taihe Rye Music is a purebred record company.

There are no professional, all-around agents.

At most, there are music agents who promote albums.

"It's like this, an old friend asked me to meet with you," Song Ke explained.

"Of course, the initiative is yours; whether or not to meet is entirely up to you. I will not offer any advice."

First, extricate yourself from the situation.

He's a cunning old fox.

"Can I ask his name?" Wang Yihan asked.

"Don't worry, I definitely won't cheat you. She's a top agent in the TV drama industry, Chang Jihong from Hairun, but she recently switched to a new company. That's the situation. It's up to you to choose."

"If you want to have a better future in the TV drama industry, choosing her is definitely the right choice."

Song Ke pointed it out.

"Oh, it was her!" Wang Yihan knew who this person was.

She is indeed a top-tier agent, often referred to as "Southern Flower and Northern Chang" alongside Sister Hua.

The company also boasts a number of influential artists: Jiang Wenli, Sun Li, Liu Ye, Wang Luodan...

Two top agents serving me?

Wang Yihan found it a bit absurd.

Am I really that awesome?

"You know her, no need for me to introduce her further. This is her business card. If you want to meet her, just call the number on it."

Song Ke handed over a business card.

"I'll consider it," Wang Yihan nodded.

........

After leaving the company, Wang Yihan prepared to drive home.

I called my girlfriend, Zhang Hanyun, in advance to ask her to order takeout for lunch.

It's already lunchtime.

My stomach is growling.

As it turned out, the other person was having a small gathering with her best friend Zhao Xiaodao at a hot pot restaurant.

Nothing.

Wang Yihan turned around and drove towards her destination.

Chongqing hot pot restaurant.

The familiar taste made my tongue feel numb.

Really fragrant!

After finishing the meal.

Zhao Liying is taking her leave.

Wang Yihan called out to her, "Want to sit at the coffee shop next door?"

Zhao Liying looked at Zhang Hanyun.

Zhang Hanyun looked at Wang Yihan.

Wang Yihan winked at her and mouthed the words "Wang Jinhua".

Zhang Hanyun understood immediately.

This close friend spent quite a bit of time at Huayi.

You should know something about Wang Jinhua.

Thinking of this, she quickly grabbed her best friend's arm and said, "A cup of coffee after dinner will help with digestion."

"Is this how you digest food?" Zhao Liying looked at her slightly bulging belly with concern.

Going out with my foodie best friend Zhang Hanyun always makes me gain three pounds.

"Let's go, we can burn off this heat with two hours of exercise later." Zhang Hanyun pulled her towards the coffee shop.

coffee shop.

The three of them sat down.

Zhao Liying stared back and forth at the young couple opposite her: "Is there something you want to tell me?"

She finally realized what was going on.

When couples go on a date, who wants to bring a third wheel?

"Hehe... I do need your help with something." Wang Yihan admitted directly, explaining that Wang Jinhua had asked him to meet.

Then he asked, "What kind of person do you think she is? Is she easy to get along with?"
