Cultivating a girl band, but the goal is to lose money!

“Of course we eat the authentic ones if they are available!”

Lin Yi didn't hesitate at all. How could a boss accommodate his employees?

After returning to his seat, Lin Yi saw Xiangzi sitting upright with a red face.

Just as he was about to ask, Xiangzi pushed her cell phone in front of Lin Yi, which was the live video of the band's final performance.

Looking at the comments scrolling madly on the screen, Lin Yi's eyes went dark.

He gritted his teeth and looked down, his eyes moving slowly. When he saw the column of playback volume, he almost vomited blood!

8.32W!

In just one day, the number of views increased by 8?

Lin Yi looked at the recommended videos on the side, and the first one was not guitarhero's cover.

【Do you still remember the bitterness and sweetness of the past? 】

Lin Yi clicked on the video, which was a lyrical narrative editing video, and the background music used was "Twilight".

It's on the hot list today and is charging up the charts.

The worst thing happened.

A huge pie fell from the sky.

Chapter 47 Ending The band needs to change its formation

On Monday morning, Chihaya Aion walked into the campus as usual, carrying her guitar and schoolbag.

But what was different from usual was that Aine's tone of humming today was much more cheerful.

The band became popular very suddenly.

Because of the related cover songs, singing and editing videos released by several up hosts, the popularity of the song that was originally ignored soared like a shot of chicken blood.

In just three days, the band gained tens of thousands of fans by releasing only one original song, and more than a thousand of the 2200 CDs have been sold.

This is something worth being happy about. Both Xiaoxiang and everyone in the band are very happy.

But Aiyin found that Lin Yi had been frowning in recent days, and it seemed like he was forcing himself to smile.

Aiyin didn't understand at first, but as a talented and beautiful girl, she quickly realized Lin Yi's good intentions.

Lin Yi is afraid that they will become proud!

In the past, when they lacked confidence and doubted themselves, Lin Yi would stand up and encourage them.

Now that they have achieved results, it is reasonable for Lin Yi to do so.

Lin Yi really...she cried to death.

"Ah...Chihaya-san!"

A surprised voice came from not far away, bringing Aine back to reality.

Aiyin looked in the direction of the voice and saw two girls in lower grade school uniforms jogging over to her in surprise and looking at her in admiration.

Aine blinked.

These two people...could they be her fans?

Come to think of it, now that the band is so popular, is she already a big star?

Although she had already opened the champagne in her heart, Aine still showed her demeanor as the student council president in the past.

She smiled and said, "What do you two need from me?"

A girl said excitedly, "Chihaya, are you the guitarist of the band The End? We listened to the songs of the band The End and have become your fans!"

Another girl handed over a small notebook and looked at Aine expectantly.

"Can you please ask Chihaya-san to sign an autograph for me?"

"No problem at all!"

Aiyin took the notebook and quickly signed her name.

【Chihaya Aine】

Looking at that not very nice name, Aine thought to herself that she must find time to practice signing when she gets home, so as not to lose the image of an idol!

After handing the signed notebook back, the female student held it in front of her body as if it were a treasure.

"Thank you, Chihaya-san!"

Aine shook her head: "Just call me Aine, thank you for liking the End Band!"

"Aine! I want an autograph too."

"Okay~"

A minute later, Aiyin took photos with two female classmates and waved goodbye to them.

After lowering her head again, Aine finally couldn’t hold back her student council president demeanor after holding on for several minutes.

The pink-haired girl raised the corners of her mouth and revealed a smug smile on her face. Her silly look was extremely cute.

……

On the other side, in a warehouse on the outskirts of Tokyo.

"I'm sorry, our agency currently has no plans to cooperate with record companies."

After hanging up the phone call from who knows how many record companies, Lin Yi sighed helplessly.

These record companies are just like mad dogs, once they see that the songs are popular and profitable, they all want exclusive agency rights, and some even want to sign a contract directly with the band.

She has already made it clear that she is not interested for the time being, but she keeps calling him, so he wants to put her on the blacklist.

Taoxiang, wearing Martin boots, leaned against the wall and spoke while watching the outsourced workers packing the express.

"Lin Yi, we currently only have one sales channel, the Internet. There's no harm in signing a contract with a record company, right?"

"They can help us build offline sales channels, and they can also do production and delivery for us. We just give them a share of the profits. It's a good deal, right?"

Lin Yi shook his head: "I won't think about this issue for at least half a month."

Just kidding, if you cooperate with a record company, leaving aside the signing fee for now, and the factory works at full capacity to produce, and you cover all of Japan and overseas offline channels, plus your own publicity campaign, how much money can you make?

There are only twelve days left before settlement. If I make a little more, I won’t be able to spend it all!

Lin Yi ignored not only the record companies, but also those music platforms that wanted exclusive authorization.

"I understand, I understand." Tao Xiang crossed her arms and said meaningfully, "This is called waiting for a good price, so that the chips in your hand become more competitive, and then you can negotiate better profits and conditions."

"But Lin Yi, let's be clear, this batch of CDs will probably be sold out in the next two days. When can they be restocked?"

When it comes to restocking, Lin Yi feels a headache again.

Subjectively, he certainly didn't want to make up for it, but objective conditions didn't allow him not to.

Lin Yi said: "Probably around the weekend, we will replenish the stock of 2,000 sheets."

“Will two thousand be too few?”

"It's a bit small." Lin Yi agreed with this statement, and then explained: "I did this on purpose. After the CDs arrive, I will release two to three hundred copies every day."

Tao Xiang's eyes lit up: "It's hunger marketing, I understand, this is also to prepare for future negotiations."

This is the only way Lin Yi could think of to convince others and avoid being warned by the system.

But like Momoka said, this is preparation for the future.

The price of ensuring a loss in this settlement cycle is to make it more difficult to lose money in the next cycle.

There is nothing that can be done about it. Lin Yi doesn't know what unexpected things will happen in the future, so he can only focus on the immediate interests.

Put these six million in your pocket first.

In this case, Lin Yi felt that he had to consider the future now.

How can we better lose money in the next cycle?

Lin Yi currently has two ideas, one of which is to recruit new artists and form a second band.

The logic is very simple. Forming a second band means an increase in the size of the firm. As the size of the firm increases, the number of employees, the places where money can be spent, and the quality of money will all increase.

However, this depends more on fate. After all, only those girls who are recognized by the system can voluntarily join the agency.

The second was to end the band itself.

Honestly speaking, until now Lin Yi still feels that except for a few minor mistakes, there is nothing wrong with his approach in running the band.

The current result is just because he is unlucky.

If guitarhero hadn't covered that song, and the up-loader hadn't used it as background music, the song would never have become popular.

But now that this has happened, the band's fame is unstoppable. As long as they can produce stable works in the future, they will inevitably become a cash cow for the agency, which is Lin Yi's biggest worry!

The popularity of "Yugure" is not only due to the quality and style of the song itself, but also largely due to Momoka's gentle and unique voice.

So Lin Yi felt that the best way to solve the problem was to change the band's style.

Let the ending band change formation!

----

Maybe the settings were not explained completely when the system appeared earlier, so I will explain it again.

Only the loss below the standard line can be converted into the protagonist's personal property at a 1:1 ratio. Every penny earned can only be used for the development of the firm, and the protagonist cannot get a penny.

Chapter 48 Lin Yi: I think Jing Qinrencai is terrifyingly talented

First of all, kicking someone is absolutely not an option. Lin Yi would not do such a wicked thing, and the girls would not be able to accept it.

The current configuration of the band is two guitars + drums + bass, and Momoka also serves as the lead singer.

So there are two options for changing the lineup. One is to add a keyboard player, and the other is to remove Taoxiang's position and find a guitarist or lead singer.

Currently, the only keyboard player available is Xiangzi. Regardless of whether she is willing to join the Ending Band, Lin Yi wants to weaken her, not strengthen her into a galactic battleship, so he directly passes her over.

A more feasible option is to bring in a guitarist or lead singer, but Lin Yi himself prefers the latter.

The popularity of this song is also closely related to Momoka's voice. She is really suitable for singing this kind of song and can resonate with people.

Bringing in a new lead singer would not only change this situation, but those fans who were attracted by Momoka's voice would probably also have big opinions.

As for the candidate... Takamatsu Deng can definitely not be relied upon, so there is probably only one feasible option at the moment, and that person is extremely suitable!

So Lin Yi asked in a casual tone: "Taoxiang, what is the fan named Jing Qin Rencai that you picked up before doing recently? Are you still in touch?"

"Why are you asking this suddenly?" Taoxiang looked at Lin Yi in confusion.

"After I helped the kid settle down that day, I never had any contact with her again. But I remember she said she came to Tokyo to take the college entrance exam, so she should be studying now."

Lin Yi nodded thoughtfully, then paused, pondered for a moment, and spoke tentatively in a tone seeking opinion.

"Momoka, I want to hire a new lead singer for the Ending Band so that you can focus on composing and playing the guitar. Of course, I don't think there's anything wrong with your singing, Momoka, I just think the Ending Band can try a different style."

"In the future, lyrical songs like "Yugure" will still be sung by Momoka, but songs with a more rock and roll style can be sung by the new lead singer."

"After all, Momoka's composition style doesn't have a set pattern. This will also allow Momoka to perform better. What do you think?"

Even though Lin Yi is Taoxiang's boss and has a good relationship with Taoxiang, when he brought up this topic, Lin Yi still put on a thick layer of armor.

As a reliable adult, Taoxiang did not show any extreme emotions after hearing Lin Yi's words. Instead, she lowered her head and seriously thought about the feasibility.

From her own perspective, Momoka does not want to limit her own composing style; she has a strong desire to express herself.

Momoka is also aware of the limitations of her own voice, and although she can sing with any voice, this has a huge impact on the band as a whole.

And after launching Diamond, Momoka didn't have any obsession with having to sing by herself, she just didn't want to give up music.

Momoka exhaled slowly and asked softly, "Who are you going to ask to be the lead singer, Niina?"

Lin Yi asked about Rencai's situation before bringing up this topic. This was definitely not aimless and his intention was obvious.

But Taoxiang didn’t quite understand. Jing Qin Rencai looked like an ordinary girl. Why did Lin Yi choose her?

"That's right." Lin Yi nodded.

The girl Jing Qinrencai is extraordinary.
