Perfect Life

As 1996 draws to a close, although Li Qian's studio has been established for less than a year, it is unavoidable to have some inventory at the end of the year. Of course, because the current business volume is not much, for the studio, the so-called inventory is mainly a financial inventory.

For Li Qian Studio, it has been seven months since it was registered, officially established, and started to work. It has been more than three months. There is one general manager, one music director, one deputy director, three department managers, and ordinary work. There are nine people, plus two signed artists, two signed musicians, and one signed professional recording engineer, making a total of twenty people.

And in mid-December, when Liu Mei and Huang Wenjuan also joined the artist department and officially became employees of the studio, the ordinary staff of the studio became eleven, and the total number became twenty-two.

This is already the scale of a small record company, not the so-called studio that is purely supported by a single musician or artist.

Among the 22 people, the real high-level people are of course only Qi Jie, Li Qian, and Liao Liao, the unpaid deputy music director, and specific to each department, it is mainly Sun Meimei, Liu Mei, Three people, Huang Wenjuan, four people including Li Jinlong from the production department, as well as financial and internal staff, and finally, everyone worked together to serve the two currently signed artists.

As of now, Li Qian's manager is still Qi Jie, and Liao Liao's brokerage affairs are temporarily handled by Sun Meimei and Huang Wenjuan. Among them, Sun Meimei is closer to the broker, Huang Wenjuan is more like a personal assistant, and He Runqing's broker. , or Liu Mei.

In the next year, Qi Jie's plan is. When Liao Liao and He Runqing's new albums were released. There must be at least one personal assistant for each of them. A car and a professional driver.

Moreover, as the current information transmission is getting faster and faster, the media is becoming more and more developed, and the entertainment industry is becoming more and more prosperous, the travel of stars has begun to be concerned and harassed by more and more media and fans. Therefore, in Qi Jie In the plan, the future studio will set up a security department. And at least five to eight professional security guards need to be recruited. Usually responsible for providing the security of the studio, when Liao Liao and He Runqing travel, they must each carry at least two security guards as bodyguards.

Because many fans now are not as good as before, and everyone seems to be getting more and more crazy. Once you see your favorite movie star or singer, the hysterical posture is really a bit scary - the travel of the star, especially the business and work travel, has reached the point where professionals must accompany and protect it.

The studio's current assets mainly include a five-year lease contract for the office area signed with Li Qian personally. A large number of office equipment, as well as a lot of professional-grade music production and playback equipment that has been installed and put into use and has been ordered.

certainly. The most valuable is definitely the two contracts signed with Liao Liao and He Runqing.

Li Qian must be the full owner of the studio, but as the general manager of the studio, Qi Jie owns 3% of the shares, while Liao Liao, He Runqing, and Li Qian are treated equally, giving 2% of the shares. share.

Of course, at present, these so-called dry stocks still do not see the slightest profit.

In the more than three months since it officially started working in 1996, the studio has only one income, and that is the cost of the production of the new album of Wuxing Wusu, which is a total of 2 million.

This time, Huage Records was extremely happy. The day after Qi Jie signed the contract with Huage Records on behalf of the studio, the money had already been credited into the account - in fact, the studio has been running until now, relying on It is the two million liquidity.

Of course, this is only the studio aspect. As for Li Qian's personal aspect, in 1996, he still gained a lot.

The share of "Sister and Sister Stand Up" and the share of "The Sound of the Waves Are Still" made him a lot of money. In addition, he also sold four songs to Changsheng Records and Zhou Yeyi of Times Records. The song "Bending Moon" and ten songs sold to Huage Records. Although the price of selling songs is limited, but when all the money is added together, if there is such a chart in the industry, it is estimated that Li Qian's income is still enough to enter the top three of all musicians, including singers. !

The sales of the album "Sister and Sister Stand Up" so far have approached 10 million - there is no need to doubt this sales. In fact, its domestic sales have only just passed 8 million, but in September, this album sold It was successfully sold to Southeast Asia. In October, it began to enter the market in Japan and South Korea. It is even said that it has been listed in polar bears and Europe. Of course, such as Europe, polar bears, Japan, South Korea, etc., it is listed in those places. God, it is just a gimmick to make Huage Records more "global sales" when promoting, but in fact, sales are very few.

However, in Southeast Asia, where there are a large number of Chinese, and even many places are simply Chinese villages and towns, and some countries are even directly Chinese, Chinese songs are still quite marketable-although the current domestic sales of other companies besides Sony It has not been rolled out yet, and we can only make more money by selling distribution rights, but to a certain extent, it has at least increased the influence of Chinese singers, Chinese record companies and Chinese musicians.

Moreover, even if only the domestic sales of 8 million copies are counted, even if Li Qian does not share the foreign sales, this is a lot of money. For Li Qian, it means a total of 14.4 million Chinese yuan. I have to mention here that the domestic music, film and television consumer market is really a new change in January. This market seems to be expanding and exploding at any time. The market data almost every month, are growing.

In the original estimate, even if the album "Sister and Sister Stand Up" was really popular and sold well, everyone estimated that it would take about a year and a half to two years to get 8 million sales. But now, in less than a year, it has sold that number. Therefore, according to Li Jinlong's estimate, by the end of next year, it will pass 10 million copies, so there is probably not much problem.

At that time, for Li Qian, another 3.6 million will be added.

certainly. The really powerful is "The Sound of the Wave".

This piece is recognized by the entire Chinese music circle as "Tian Di". Really since the day it went public. It has always been the leader of the major charts in the entire Chinese music scene, and it has repeatedly refreshed various records. Even after the most popular first few months, it inevitably began to show decline, but it is still high. Ranked in the top ten of the major lists.

Therefore, it has been on the market for just over half a year, and its sales have successfully exceeded 7 million copies - this is an achievement that the entire Chinese music world must look up to!

And this data, for Li Qian. Means 8.4 million income!

Four songs including "Big Slipper Shoes" and "Wandering Song" cost a total of 2 million, "Bending Moon" 300,000, and the ten songs of Wuxing Wusu's new album are 4 million. All together, it is another 6.3 million!

Therefore, even after deducting the commission that needs to be given to Qi Jie as an agent, Li Qian's income in 1996 still exceeded 27 million!

Moreover, because of the particularity and creativity of the work. His income is not subject to personal income tax! Every penny of income is yours!

certainly. Don't look at his high income, but in fact, as of now, apart from a real estate, a car, and this studio, he is really poor-because of his money, he has to return it. Bank loans, on the other hand, continue to invest in the studio to purchase various high-end equipment.

And up to now, he still owes Cao Zhan a sum of money!

It can only be said that for him, no amount of money is enough!

In fact, in 1997, Li Qian's studio and Li Qian, the biggest source of income, will undoubtedly be the new albums of Liao Liao and He Runqing. However, their two albums are likely to have to be licensed to other record companies for release, so the profit margin will be greatly compressed, so in the next year, this kind of tight days , is expected to continue.

Of course, if Liao Liao's new album continues to be successful, including He Runqing's new album, if she can complete a gorgeous turn as she wishes, then the bulk of Li Qian's studio's income will be able to be smoothly transferred to commercial performances.

Li Qian's requirements are not high, Liao Liao is relatively lazy, but it should be ok to receive 15 to 20 games a year, and although He Runqing is diligent, Li Qian will definitely not make her work hard, and will try her best to perform business performances. The number of games is controlled within 25 games.

If that time comes, the forty commercial performances of the two queens will mean 30 million to 40 million income, and the income and financial situation of Li Qian's studio will be greatly improved, so as to achieve smooth profitability in one fell swoop. , and even continue to grow and develop.

In addition, judging from the current situation of the continuous development and prosperity of the domestic entertainment, literature and performance markets, Li Qian would like to sign a few concerts for Liao Liao next year. At that time, with the gimmick of Liao Liao's first national concert, which has been a big hit in the past three years, it is estimated that countless performers will come to rush to bid!

Of course, the premise is that everything must go well!

In fact, when the time approached New Year's Day, since the establishment of Li Qian's studio, due to the collective suppression and blockade of the industry's tacit understanding, the difficult situation it has been facing suddenly seems to have seen a glimmer of light.

There are three things in total.

The first thing, when the Lunar New Year was less than two months away, Liao Liao once again received an invitation to perform in the Spring Festival Gala of Huaxia TV - this of course will not give money, but it is a symbol of his status in the industry. !

Of course, in fact, based on the popularity of "The Sound of the Waves", and Liao Liao's current reputation and influence in the domestic music scene, she received this invitation, which is well-deserved. It doesn't matter whether Liao Liao is signed to Changsheng Records or Li Qian's studio. If Huaxia TV did not invite her to the Spring Festival Gala, it would be a loss for the Spring Festival Gala instead!

But at least, Liao Liao will attend the New Year's Day party and the Spring Festival party one after another after signing in at Li Qian's studio, which gives Li Qian's studio the opportunity to extend his connections to these two TV stations.

The second thing, after the sudden popularity of "Big Top Shoes", just before New Year's Day, "Wandering Song" suddenly became popular again.

In Li Qian's impression of this song, in the 1990s in another time and space, it was a red to purple work.

With the development of the economy and the progress of the society, the flow of talents in the whole society has accelerated, which has led to the fact that for thousands of years, Chinese people with strong local thinking have to start leaving their homes in large numbers to work and make money in other places. Therefore, works like "Wandering Song" that can almost instantly resonate with the hearts of countless Chinese people. To be honest, as long as the singers sing not too badly, there is almost no possibility that they will not become popular!

What's more, you must know that the timing of this song's listing is before New Year's Day, and at the same time, it is also before the Spring Festival - this time period is the time when Chinese people's thoughts and emotions are the most intense!

Therefore, as soon as this work was released, it immediately exploded into popularity unexpectedly!

Although Zhen Zhen's new album has just been released, it is so strong that no one can match it, but the work "Wandering Song" quickly rose to the second place on the Voice of China Golden Songs On Demand Chart, and in one fell swoop the previously hot "Wandering Song" Big-toe shoes" was pressed down!

Even Lin Xiufeng, who was originally a second-tier and third-tier male singer, became popular with it!

The power of "Big Toe Shoes" has not diminished, and "Wandering Song" has already taken off!

And because of these two title songs, Huang Mai and Lin Xiufeng's two albums have also entered the top five albums of Dongguan Bookstore's best-seller list!

For a while, the Changsheng Records were in the limelight!

Originally, among the many record companies in China, Longevity Records was a medium-sized record company, but this year, "The Sound of the Waves" became a big hit. With this album, Liao Liao was almost impossible. Controversially became the No. 1 figure in the domestic music scene, and then there were sudden outbreaks of "Big Top Shoes" and "Wandering Song". For a while, Changsheng Records had the momentum of some large record companies!

Not to mention, by this time, Chen Changsheng still had Li Qian's other two songs in his hand and hadn't released it!

Don't even think about it, he must have staggered the time period to release the song, in order to try his best to avoid excessive competition with the company. And it is conceivable that by the spring of next year, the two works "I Think I'm the Sea" and "Friends" will bring another wave of album sales to Changsheng Records!

In fact, among such wildly sold albums, only one of Li Qian's works is the title song!

So it is conceivable that he not only showed no concern for Liao Liao's departure, but even took the initiative to come to Li Qian's studio. When Li Qian was not there, he told Qi Jie what he had to do. Help, Longevity Records will definitely help!

Of course, his subtext is ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ If Li Qian wants to release a work, please take care of our longevity record first! After all, we're already old friends, aren't we?

That is, at this time, whether to visit Li Qian's studio, or take the initiative to call and contact, in short, several companies in the industry suddenly began to offer olive branches!
