Chapter 170 Dog Skin Plaster
It has been more than two weeks since the release of the "Phoenix" album, and the enthusiasm has gradually subsided.

Ed Oliver, the manager of the bluegrass music company, flew to Hawaii in person and did not greet Suri in advance.

When seeing manager Ed Oliver.

Not only was Su Rui not surprised, but he raised his middle finger towards this guy, and said in a helpless tone:
"I've always felt that there should be a sense of social boundaries between people. During my stay in Los Angeles, I made it clear that I didn't want to see you, but you actually came after me?"

There is a kind of person who is described as being like a dog's skin plaster, which is difficult to get rid of.

In Su Rui's eyes, his partner is quite shameless. In order to make more money, he has been stalking him recently.

Words such as modesty and euphemism have nothing to do with Manager Ai De, he only knows how to beat a snake to a stick.

Secretary Amanda is very aware of this guy's character, standing by the side at the moment, and said something in person:
"Sure enough, we should withdraw the shares and re-establish a music studio, lest Ed be used as a cash cow and harass the boss over and over again. I think it is necessary to apply for a court restraining order to prohibit him from appearing within 100 meters of you. Nai, I know the judge on Lanai Island, and I can get it on the spot, or I will go now?"

After listening, manager Ed Oliver continued to say with a playful smile:
"Amanda, you have become beautiful again. If I hadn't met you in advance, I would have thought you and Suri were a couple. The North American sales of the "Phoenix" album exceeded 330 million, and the overseas sales are not bad. It's just for travel, I promise not to disturb you."

In this era when physical albums are in a slump and the market is sluggish.

Selling 330 million albums in half a month is undoubtedly the treatment that only top singers can have. At least this year, there has not been an album with higher sales than "Phoenix" in the United States.

Even the country singer Taylor Swift, who is in the limelight, has released a new album for two months, and the total sales volume is still less than two-thirds of that of "Phoenix", barely breaking through 200 million copies.

After listening to Manager Ed's flattery, Amanda still didn't show a good face.

Suri asked:

"Really? When I saw you recently, I already subconsciously had the urge to clench my fist. As long as I hear you urging me to go to the concert, even if there is only one word, I will drive you out of my island."

Considering the profits of bluegrass music companies, the vast majority are provided by Suri.

As a major shareholder, Su Rui does not necessarily have to release new songs through bluegrass music. He is fully capable of setting aside Ed Oliver and re-establishing a private music studio.

So Manager Ed resigned himself to it and didn't care about the attitude of Suri and Secretary Amanda at all.

After all, relying on the "Phoenix" album has already brought him millions of dollars in profit and dividends. On the premise that the profit is large enough, being ridiculed for a few words is not a big deal at all.

In front of the mouth, making a gesture of zipping, Manager Ed smiled brightly and asked:
"Don't open that, it's no problem to release a single album. Your fans can only listen to the new song "Remember Our Summer" from the Internet and through video clips. In addition, you asked me to find someone to write "Not a "Single Day", I brought the sample song here, it is suitable as the finale song, and I can release a single album at that time."

Singing is a personal hobby, and Su Rui treats it as a part-time job.

In his opinion, this part-time job should be easy and comfortable. If it weren’t for the conspicuous Ed Oliver, who kept staring at him like he was urging him to die, it would drive people crazy. In fact, Suri didn’t dislike going to the concert. , or release a new album.

Look at it from another angle.

Manager Ed only takes a small share of the physical album, and he can already make a lot of money.

Su Rui not only receives most of the income from physical albums, but also digital records, mobile phone ring tones, peripheral copyright income, and so on.

We are in the era of CRBT, and the CRBT income of "Despacito" alone is conservatively estimated to be more than 500 million US dollars. A single "Phoenix" album can easily provide Su Rui with 4000 to [-] million US dollars of pocket money. It's not uncommon for concerts to make millions of dollars.

Although rich as hell, Suri has not completely lost interest in making money, so he replied at this time:

"It's okay to release a single album. I have already found someone to be in charge of building a recording studio. I want to sing more Chinese songs in the future. When I am free, I will record "Remember Our Summer". I sang it at the finale of the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show , I think it is very suitable as a ringtone, girls should like it very much."

"Chinese songs? That's not what you're good at, isn't it, and the number of listeners is relatively small, so it's hard to sell non-English albums at a price."

Manager Ed Oliver took a deep breath, and he has got rid of the situation of facing bankruptcy at any time, and his mind has regained some sanity because of this. He even wears a Rolex day-date gold watch on his hand.

The income level of the Chinese music scene is indeed not as good as that in Europe and the United States.

Su Rui has only released two albums, and the total pre-tax income will exceed [-] million US dollars. Not to mention the high price, the copyright protection is also relatively good.

until now.

His first album, released a few years ago, still brings him millions of dollars a year.

The problem is that Su Rui has almost exhausted all the English songs he can remember, and it would be too much for him to put together another mini-album.

However, it is much easier to go to the Chinese music scene. Anyway, I don’t want to make a fortune from this part-time job. No matter where I am looking for fun, it is actually the same.

At this moment, Suri only replied:

"I have my own plans, and I will focus on film and television dramas in the future. We have known each other for so many years, and we are considered colleagues. I advise you to think about saving some money in advance, and save it for your retirement in the future. You can no longer rely on me to make a fortune."

Secretary Amanda followed closely and reminded:
"Also, don't ever get married again. Even if a Hollywood beauty like Charlize Theron is crying to marry you, you must firmly refuse."

"..."

Manager Ed Oliver nodded seriously after listening, with lingering fear on his face.

Su Rui didn't think it was a big deal when he watched the excitement, but felt that the love brain was really scary, so he said with a smile:
"I want to make a sitcom, and I want to shoot a middle-aged man who is bullied by his ex-wife, and takes his son to his brother to live with others. The younger brother is always cheated by women, and the older brother is a master in love. Every episode meets different people. woman."

He was referring to Two and a Half Men.

Although the name is not very good, it impressed Su Rui deeply, even not much worse than "Friends". It has a unique attraction and is full of laughs.

Su Rui remembered it a year or two ago, and searched for it on the Internet, but found nothing in the end, and probably was blown away.

Considering that it is cheaper to shoot sitcoms, and it is easier for audiences to follow and watch, it is obviously very suitable for the current Netflix Entertainment Company, and there is a chance to shoot many seasons in a row.

More importantly, Su Rui wanted to see it himself.

Recently, I often have nothing to do, and I lack a dinner drama...
