One person's entertainment

Chapter 52, buy buy buy!

After lunch, Shen Lingyou and Chen Jiantian sent Huo Wenxi back to the hotel and found a cafe to chat for a while.

The album "Shen Ling You" has sold 87 copies, including 54 copies in the mainland, 10 copies in Hong Kong, and 23 copies in Formosa Province, in just 18 days.

The sales of the album "Heart Too Soft" have not increased much. Here we are talking about the genuine version. The total sales in two and a half months are 173 million copies, including 98 copies in the mainland, 17 copies in Hong Kong, 47 copies in Formosa Province, and 11 copies in overseas regions.

However, when the winter vacation begins, all the students go home, and then it is the Spring Festival, when people can get lucky money. During this period, there will be a surge in sales.

There are not many changes in the major music charts, and Shen Lingyou's eleven songs are still in the top twenty.

However, the championship throne is no longer a rotation.

"Later", the No. 2000 song of 6, has been the champion for consecutive days and is truly a tear-jerking song.

Ranked second is "Sad Pacific" and ranked third is "The Wind Rises". They have the advantage of being popular songs and have strong short-term explosive power.

Uncle Teng’s “Paradise” is ranked fifth, and its strength should not be underestimated.

The above data are visible but intangible. What you can really touch are the blue banknotes.

The second wave of profit sharing arrived, 180 million.

Included in this is the copyright fee for the production and distribution rights of the album "Shenling You". Red Star Production Company only enjoyed the exclusive rights for ten days and then sold it to the public after ten days.

Because permanent exclusivity is useless, and with so many pirated copies, it’s like there is no exclusivity.

Therefore, the production and distribution rights will have to be sold sooner or later, so the more money you make, the better.

After parting with Chen Jiantian, Shen Lingyou came to the Blue Ocean Recording Studio.

When Wu Xianliang saw him coming, his face was full of smiles.

At the time, I thought that if he became famous, my recording studio would also benefit from it, and it actually became famous.

After that, I told everyone I met that "Heart Too Soft" was recorded in my own recording studio and the accompaniment was played by my own band. I felt so proud.

"The instrumentals for the three songs have been recorded. Please listen to them later and see if there is anything that needs improvement."

"No hurry, there's something I want to talk to Boss Wu about."

Earlier, Shen Lingyou gave the arrangements of three songs, "Compendium of Materia Medica", "Love Each Other" and "I Love You China", to Wu Xianliang to make accompaniment tapes. He wanted to record the songs before the New Year and release them on the charts starting on the first day of the Lunar New Year.

Wu Xianliang took him to the office where there was heating to keep it warmer.

"Drink tea."

"Thank you."

Shen Lingyou took a sip, put down the teacup, and said, "By the way, Boss Wu's recording studio has been open for many years, right?"

Wu Xianliang smiled and said, "Yes, this is the third year."

Shen Lingyou asked again: "What about playing in a band?"

Wu Xianliang replied, "The band has been around for a while. I started this band when I was in college, and seven years have passed in a flash." He shook his head and smiled bitterly, "I haven't made any name for myself in all these years. Sometimes I would fall into deep self-doubt, wondering whether I was right to choose music and whether I should stick with it."

This is the norm for many singers. There are only a small number of singers who can become famous and perform on the big stage. Most singers are working in bars, shopping malls, and streets, struggling for a living and fighting for their dreams.

Shen Lingyou advised that it would be bad to give up, and it would be wrong to insist on it either. He could only avoid the topic and get straight to the point: "Your professional ability is enough, but you are just lacking an opportunity. I will register a company after the new year, and I will dabble in records, TV series, and movies. If possible, I would like to buy your recording studio and sign your band."

Wu Xianliang's eyes widened in surprise.

Start a company? Buy my studio? Sign my band?
If Shen Lingyou had come to say this to him a few months ago, he would have just responded with one word: "Get lost."

But now, Shen Lingyou has become famous, without the help of any company, just by his original songs.

He acknowledged Shen Lingyou's talent, but starting a company was not as simple as writing songs and singing. What if he couldn't make it...

Wait, you're thinking too much.

Even if he fails, he won't suffer any loss, because the recording studio has been sold and he can use the money to open a new one. The band had no hope in the first place, so it was good enough that someone was willing to sign him.

Having made up his mind, Wu Xianliang said, "I do."

Shen Lingyou wanted to say that he could think about it slowly and give an answer after the new year, but he was silent for half a minute before making a decision. Then he said, "There's no need to rush. Why don't you discuss it with the band members?"

Wu Xianliang waved his hand and said, "The recording studio is my own, I can make the decision, as for the band..." Although he is the captain and has the power, he still has to respect his teammates. It would be bad to have conflicts, so he said, "Wait here for a moment, I'll go to the practice room to ask their opinions and be back soon."

After saying that, he hurried out of the office.

Shen Lingyou gently picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and thought to himself, is it too smooth? But it's normal. Combining what Wu Xianliang just said, we can draw a conclusion that their future is uncertain, they can't see the light, and can't find a way out. If they want to continue on the road of music, they can change their ways, and maybe they will see light after all the difficulties.

He can't guarantee a lot, but there is no need to worry about making money.

Soon, Wu Xianliang came back with good news. The team members unanimously supported his decision.

In this way, Shen Lingyou took over the Blue Ocean Recording Studio and the Blue Ocean Band.

"As for the band, they have a lot of songs."

I'll find some time to listen to the singing level of lead singer Wu Xianliang and see if I'm qualified enough to get his songs.

If it's too ordinary, arrange to be behind the scenes.

It was professional enough to produce accompaniment, recording and mastering for him.

Then, we went to the recording studio to record songs.

"If Hua Tuo were alive again, all those who worship foreign things would be cured, and foreigners would come to learn Chinese characters, which would inspire our national consciousness..."

……

"In this world, people love each other and their hearts are one even though they are thousands of miles apart..."

……

"I love you Huaxia, my beloved mother..."

……

Shen Lingyou listened to the accompaniments of all three songs and tried singing them once, and found no problems.

At this moment, Wu Xianliang and others felt that the decision they had just made was correct.

I knew these were three great songs when I got the arrangements, and now when I hear the lyrics, how can I describe them in one word: “awesome”!

Few people in the entire Chinese music scene can express one theme using three different musical styles.

With a boss like this, are you still afraid of not doing well?

Recording songs is a bit mysterious. Sometimes it’s perfect after the first singing, and sometimes it still can’t meet the requirements even after singing it ten times. Three songs normally take two to five days. He is anxious, but he can’t be anxious. The more anxious he is, the easier it is to make mistakes.

In the evening, I invited Wu Xianliang and his group to have a meal.

When I returned to the dormitory at nine o'clock, my cell phone rang.

"Hello, is this Mr. Shen Lingyou Shen?"

"I'm."

"I'm Jiang Hu. You asked me if there are any courtyard houses for sale. I found out this afternoon that there is a two-courtyard house in Shichahai with an area of ​​more than 400 square meters. The family is going to immigrate to the UK after the Chinese New Year, so they are looking to sell it. Do you have time to go and take a look tomorrow? As far as I know, there are several people who are interested in this."

"Okay, let's make an appointment for tomorrow morning."

"Okay, see you tomorrow."

"See you tomorrow."

……

Jiang Hu is a man who deals in courtyard houses in Yanjing. He has good reputation and ability. Shen Lingyou found him through Zhang Guili.

"The Secret History of Kangxi" has been aired for a long time and has a very good viewership rating. The audience also gave high praise to the theme song "Unlimited Jiangshan", but it didn't attract much attention from him. It doesn't matter, as it's selling well anyway.

During the period, Zhang Zien, Zhang Guoli, Jiang Qinqin and others had a meal together. Also present was Kangxi's composer, Zhao Jiping, the famous composer who composed the music for Stephen Chow's movie A Chinese Odyssey.

At first, he seemed a little embarrassed because he took the money earned from the songs of people in the original time and space, but after chatting for a while, they found that they got along very well and had the same ideas and attitudes towards music, which made it feel like a friendship between people of different generations.

When talking about what he wanted to do after becoming famous and rich, he said that he was a vulgar person and the first thing he wanted to do after making money was to buy a car and a courtyard house. Then Zhang Guoli mentioned Jiang Hu.

Later, when he had enough money, he contacted Jiang Hu to inquire if there were any courtyard houses for sale.

Currently, the price of a courtyard house is affected by factors such as size, location, and type, and the normal price is approximately in the range of 1000 to 3000 yuan per square meter.

It’s over 400 square meters, and if we take the average price of 2000 per square meter, one unit would cost around 80 yuan.

It is within his acceptable and tolerable range.
