Chapter 236 Planning a New Album

Wang Zhengfei wrote this song "Lan Ruo Ci" on the spot and sang it to Fu Dan several times. Fu Dan was already able to sing it in a decent way. Then Wang Zhengfei recorded a small sample for Fu Dan, and then asked the crookie to find someone to be responsible for making the accompaniment and arrangement of the song, and then When Fu Dan is asked to sing, the title song of this album has been determined.

When it was all done, Wang Zhengfei saw that it was already eight or nine o'clock in the evening. Originally, he wanted to have a romantic two-person tour with Fu Dan, but he counted the time. After all, he had to shoot the next day, but fortunately, Fu Dan also supported his work very much. The two hurriedly ate something Wang Zheng. Fei went back to the hotel where the crew stayed.

Back to the room, she took a shower and changed her clothes. Wang Zhengfei, who was about to go to bed, remembered what Gao Yan had told him before and went to see him after she came back. It seemed that she had something to explain.

Wang Zhengfei changed his clothes, rushed to Gao Yan's room and knocked on the door.

"Knock!"

"Come in!" The sound of Gao Yan came from inside.

Wang Zhengfei pushed the door in and saw Gao Yan tapping on the keyboard on the computer. He didn't know what he was writing.

"What are you writing?" Wang Zhengfei asked.

"I'm writing a business plan. You can sit down first!" Gao Yan said.

"Oh!" Wang Zhengfei sat down and was not polite. He turned on the TV and watched it by himself. After a while, Gao Yan finally finished it. He turned around and sat in a chair and said to Wang Zhengfei, "Zhengfei, I called you here this time mainly for a few things!"

"The first thing is that you released the album. The last time you released the album was a year ago, right?" Gao Yan asked.

Wang Zhengfei nodded. It was almost a year ago. At that time, he released his first album in his life, and the record sold well all over Asia.

"It's almost the same. It happened a year ago. How time flies. Such a year is about to pass in a blink of an eye!" Wang Zhengfei sighed and said, as if it was still in the Spring Festival before, and there were more and more eyes this year.

"Yes, it goes by very fast. Generally speaking, it is a more appropriate frequency to release an album a year, and now it's time for you to consider the second album after a year!" Gao Yan said.

"That's right, but I've been busy shooting "Qin Shi Ming Yue" now. How can I have time to do that album?" Wang Zhengfei said.

"The shooting of "Qin Shi Ming Yue" will not take much time. "Qin Shi Ming Yue" has also been shot for most of the time, and it can be shot until the end of November at most. At that time, you can use the hollow time to complete the production of the new album!" Gao Yan said.

Wang Zhengfei's calculation time is indeed about the same. The crew's shooting is basically uncertain, but it can still be speculated that it will be about the final date. There is absolutely no problem at the end of November. Even if it is even faster, it can be completed in mid-to-late November, but it may be time to complete the new album immediately. It will be a little tight, especially if the album is to be given out this Christmas, it is definitely not an easy thing. This is what he can do. In the case that ordinary people still have to write songs, there is no time. A song has to be brewed for a long time. Only Wang Zhengfei, a guy who doesn't regard good songs as a good song can do. It's enough to grit your teeth.

"Oy, by Christmas, although the time is a little tight, I think I can still hand over ten songs!" Wang Zhengfei said.

Wang Zhengfei's words shocked Gao Yan. He didn't expect Wang Zhengfei to be so tough. By Christmas, it was only a little more than a month in total, plus the time for recording and burning CDs. That is to say, the time left for Wang Zhengfei was quite limited. He didn't think that Wang Zhengfei could It's enough to complete, or he didn't think that Wang Zhengfei could hand over so many songs in such a short time. He has even begun to help him collect songs. At that time, as long as Wang Zhengfei handed over one or two songs as the main title, he would form an album, but he didn't expect that Wang Zhengfei misunderstood his words and had to hand over ten songs in person. Although he is not a singer, he also knows that this is very difficult.

"In this case, will the time be very tight?" Gao Yan asked, if you want him to choose and hand over ten songs of average level in a short period of time, or possibly ten bad songs, it's better to let Wang Zhengfei hand over one or two good songs, as long as he can reach the average level of the previous album. No matter which of Wang Zhengfei's previous albums is put into other people's albums. It can be used as the main song in the album, and this rare spectacle can only be seen here by Wang Zhengfei.

"It's tight, it's okay!" Wang Zhengfei said heartlessly, anyway, he wants as many of these songs as he wants, and he doesn't have to worry about not having enough at all. At least before 2011, he is not afraid of any shortages. Ten songs are not bad, no problem!"

Gao Yan was speechless and had to say, "Then you can do whatever you want, but you can't casually hand over ten bad songs!"

"Don't worry, although it is not to mention reaching the level of the previous album, it will definitely be a first-class song!" Wang Zhengfei said.

This is not a difficult thing for him. He believes that he can do it.

"But who do we cooperate with this time, or with Huayan International?" Wang Zhengfei asked.

"I think we can do it ourselves this time!" Gao Yan said.

"Do it yourself?" Wang Zhengfei said.

"Yes, instead of letting others earn this money, it's better for us to do it ourselves!" Gao Yan said, "At that time, I want to hang a subsidiary under the name of Star Entertainment, Star Records, and star prints!"

Gao Yan said that there is quite a high-spirited feeling here. If it can really be established, that is to say, his entertainment empire has been initially established. It is basically set up, and he has the ability to get involved in film and television songs.

Star Records is responsible for music, and Star Printing is responsible for film and television. A film and television empire has been initially constructed.

If you say what is the most profitable thing in the entertainment industry, many people think of movies first. When they think about it, they will know the box office of hundreds of millions of yuan. Can they not make money? If the capital is removed, it is tens of millions, but in fact, the record is actually more coveted. Think about the last time Wang Zhengfei took it after tax. The dividend is 40 million yuan, and Huayan International is almost the same. In total, in fact, there is a total of 80 million after-tax profits. Although the cost is not included, even the cost can have a lot of money.

According to the filming, there can be a profit of 80 million yuan, and the box office must be more than 160 million yuan. Even if the peripheral products are included, the box office will definitely be more than 120 million yuan.

If you can have a box office movie of this level, how much does it cost to invest? Tens of millions is at least the bottom line, but how much does it cost to produce a record? Although Huayan International didn't say it, it doesn't mean that Gao Yan doesn't know anything. If the cost is full, 10 million and up to 15 million will come to an end. This pair of movies. It's just a fraction of it. It's definitely a low-cost and high-income investment.

As long as you invest a little, you can earn so much. How can you not be jealous, but it is useless to be jealous, because it is difficult to break through this threshold, and there is also a possibility of failure. And now the record market is not strong. Wang Zhengfei's good performance can only be said to be a rare phenomenon. In fact, most people will lose money. For most companies, it is an adventure for each person to sell a record. In this era, if it can sell more than 500,000 copies, the company will celebrate more than one million copies, that is, the achievement of the first-line singers, two million copies, which is definitely a heavenly king-level achievement, and Wang Zhengfei The achievement of 3.5 million pieces can only be said to be evil. Not everyone can have the strength of Wang Zhengfei.

However, although Gao Yan is still very confident in Wang Zhengfei. It may be very difficult for others to do it, but he believes in Wang Zhengfei's talent. After all, two albums have proved Wang Zhengfei's talent. Basically, in his opinion, it is full of talent, so in his opinion, There is no risk at all to help Wang Zhengfei make this album. The only thing that can be discussed is the problem of making more and making less. How difficult it is for a record company to find an artist who will not lose money but only make money!

Therefore, Gao Yan naturally wants to play the role of Wang Zhengfei to the highest!

"So should we buy an old company by ourselves or re-establish a company by ourselves!" Wang Zhengfei asked, in fact, these two options have their own advantages. Although the price of buying an old company will be more expensive, it is more rare that the network owned by this old company can make Star Records take a lot of detours, especially many sales channels, which are what Star Entertainment lacks, but The new company also has the advantages of the new company. The new company doesn't need to spend so much money, and you can buy brand-new equipment and so on. You don't have to think about the old equipment at all. You can buy the top of the world at the first place, and you don't need to consider the various problems left by the old company, as well as debts and so on.

"Of course I bought an old company!" Gao Yan said firmly, "Although the old company still has many problems, so we can save the time of network and sales channels. These are what we lack, but if we can have the channels of the old company, we can make up for it all at once. Besides, it's not a matter of money now, money. What can be solved is not a problem!"
