American TV series: Start with the little Sheldon's wool

Chapter 539 Business Landscape
How to describe becoming famous through one specialty?
The Devil Body Band’s new album “My Heart Will Go On”, which has been released for nearly four months, illustrates this point very well.

Over the past three years, the three girls of the Devil Body Group have released two successful patents and a well-known Christmas song.

But their popularity has been neither rising nor falling, stuck in a position where everyone knows their names but has no other memorable points.

Even their new album this year is backed by the movie "Titanic" and has the full support of King's Entertainment Company behind the scenes.

The debut performance of the new album can only be considered barely acceptable, and it cannot be compared with MJ's own popularity.

It was in this situation that the girls' new album sold out at a speed that ordinary people could not understand, more than a month after its release date.

In less than half a year, more than 7 million copies were sold, and the film continues to gain momentum.

It can be said that the brick record that the three girls of the Devil Body Group had never dared to think about before is now within their reach.

This also fully proves that Mike's previous speculation about the downturn in the entertainment industry was wrong.

Although the Great Depression reduced the material living standards of ordinary people, it could not stop people's pursuit of "art".

In other words, the bad environment has further stimulated people's spiritual needs.

In short, the Kings Agency, which Mike did not pay much attention to before, has now become a hot commodity.

The already popular MJ and the devilishly fit group will not only become the "business card" of the Kings Group in the future, but also the "money printing machine" of the group.

After Mike figured it all out, he looked at MJ in front of him and felt even more intimate with him.

"How can a five-platinum record be worthy of your title as a pop king..." Mike said, "You know it's a good start? I plan to ask King's Management Company to increase the promotion of your album. Especially in terms of online sales, there is a lot of potential to be tapped..."

“Try to ensure that your first album after joining the King Group can get a Brick Records score.”

With the popularization of computers and the Internet, the digital age has arrived, and online albums will inevitably become a trend.

Originally, in Mike's impression, it would take several years for the Internet market to mature.

However, the sudden popularity of the Devil Body Band's new album has reminded everyone that although today's online market is still very immature, it has unlimited potential.

Yes, the new album of the three girls from the Devil Body Group has performed better in online sales than the physical album in the past month or so.

You can say that the success of the Devil Body Band's new album is the result of years of accumulation, but you cannot deny the help of the online market.

Country Girl…Christmas Single…Metropolis…Dream Chaser…

Putting these words together can instantly make people imagine an inspirational story.

I can talk to Jesse about this kind of online promotion model later.

Anyway, the Internet is such a big pie that anyone can have a piece of it.

"Brick Records? Online sales?" MJ looked at the young boss in front of him who was more confident than he was, and suddenly felt a little unconfident.

To be honest, MJ was a big star who had two solid albums, but he really didn't understand the Internet market which had just emerged.

This is also the current situation of many companies.

Although crabs are delicious, not everyone has the courage to be the first to try them.

"Don't worry, the success of the Devil Body Band has proved the potential of the Internet market. I believe your new album's online performance will not be worse than theirs..." Mike gave encouragement without any burden.

Brick Records is nothing. Once the online market matures, there will be more stars who can achieve sales of tens of millions.

"Okay, I think I can give it a try." MJ was finally infected by Mike's confidence.

As a pop king, how could he not want his patents to sell better?

Next, Mike gave MJ some "chicken soup". When MJ left the King Building, he was visibly full of fighting spirit.

As time approached evening, Chris, Mr. Randy and others came to say goodbye to Mike.

"Randy, do you have an idea for your own movie?" After seeing off the others, Mike kept Mr. Randy alone. They were both from the small town of Telford, and they had a good relationship before.

Therefore, Mike seemed more patient with Mr. Randy.

“I have contacted many excellent directors, and they are all willing to cooperate with King Group…” Mr. Randy replied.

He is now also a member of King's Agency, responsible for connecting film business.

Just one level below Jesse in position.

"I'm not asking about your business ability. I want to ask, do you have any ideas about making a movie?" Mike interrupted Mr. Randy and corrected the question.

The success of King Group's investment in "Titanic" made many directors want to work with Mike.

Among them are great directors like Cameron.

Therefore, King Group has no shortage of partners when it comes to making movies.

The reason Mike asked Mr. Randy was because he remembered that his dream was to make a movie of his own.

Now the company has money, resources and everything it needs, which is just right for supporting Mr. Randy in fulfilling his dream.

"I have always wanted to make a movie. It is my lifelong dream." Mr. Randy said seriously, "But the longer I get involved in the film industry, the harder it is for me to make a choice. I don't even know what type of movie I want to make..."

The white moonlight effect: the closer you get to something, the more "timid" you become; the more you think about it, the more hesitant you become.

"I can give you some advice..." Mike said with a smile, "Affected by the general environment, people nowadays should want to watch some inspirational stories, just like "Rocky" more than ten years ago."

In addition to "Rocky", Mike remembers that some good inspirational films such as "Good Will Hunting", "The Legend of 1900", "Forrest Gump", and "The Shawshank Redemption" will be filmed in the next few years.

It can be said that it is a classic created by the times.

Mr. Randy has studied under Director Cameron, so it shouldn't be a problem for him to be a director himself.

If he wanted, Mike wouldn't mind contributing a good script to him.

"Inspirational film? That's a good suggestion indeed." Mr. Randy's eyes flashed, and he seemed to have an idea.

"I'll give you a script later. If you're interested, you can produce it." Mike offered his help.

Make money? No worries.

At the same time, I can help Mr. Randy realize his dream, so why not do it?

Similarly, Mike did not intend to miss this wave of inspirational film business opportunities. He could let Mr. Randy contact the screenwriters and directors of those films later.

Physical industry, film and television industry, record industry...

In Mike's plan, his business empire will not be limited to one place, the key is to expand it in many places.

Mike is even considering calling Collins' father, Sean Toussi, to Apple City for development.

Collins' father, Mr. Sean, is the founder of a supermarket chain, which is now well-known in Texas.

The current environment is also an opportunity for Mr. Sean. He can open his own supermarket chain in Apple City and occupy the position first.

It doesn't matter if I lose some money, I can just consider it as expanding the market.

After all, the Great Depression will eventually pass.

With the market, you will only earn more in the future.

Of course, this is just Mike's initial idea, and it is hard to say whether he can persuade Mr. Sean.

As for Mr. Randy, he had obviously been persuaded by Mike. After agreeing on a date to pick up the script, this middle-aged man with a large bald spot on his head left the King Building with excitement.
