Chapter 1397 Keep Doing It

Compared to the prosperity of girl groups in South Korea and Japan, girl groups in China are simply rare.

The only ones that can be counted are SHE and Twins.

And they are not from the mainland.

Other than that, everything else is either short-lived or barely even able to make waves.

Of course, mainland women's groups are not youthless, but their achievements are definitely not worth mentioning. They are not on the same level as others.

There is a capable Black Duck singing group, but they have never followed the youth route.

So if Yin Jun wants to find songs for the Happy Girls group, he still has to look for them in these two groups.

After thinking about it, Yin Jun decided not to play "Super Star", which has a strong electronic music feel, but to play another song "Don't Want to Grow Up" that is for a younger age group.

This song has more youthful vitality and is more in line with the ignorant mood of sixteen or seventeen-year-old girls. It seems more appropriate to release "Super Star" two or three years later.

For the second song, Yin Jun didn’t want SHE’s anymore and decided to change it to a different singer.

But for a while I felt that Twins’ song was not suitable for this theme.

After much thought, Yin Jun put his mind on Super Girl.

Super Girl is definitely not a group, it's a talent show.

However, there are still many good songs in it.

For example, the third runner-up in the first competition was the cute little girl Han Yun. She sang two very nice songs.

One of them is called "Sour, Sweet and Sweet Is Me", which was originally a commercial song for Mengniu's milk drink. However, because Mengniu happens to be the sponsor of the second Supergirl, which is the most popular Supergirl, every time During every Supergirl competition, the song "Sweet and Sour Is Me" must be played, so this song became popular, completely popular!

With this song, girl Hanyun became a little diva as if overnight. She was constantly praised and invited by all kinds of people, claiming that she would create a new little diva in the Chinese music scene.

It turns out that everyone thinks too much.

In the Chinese environment, it is impossible for a young talent star who simply has a pretty and cute face but lacks the necessary professional qualities to become popular.

Not to mention her, it's Shang Wenjie, the "powerful" female singer and Super Girl champion who has been praised to the sky. Do you think she has become famous?

no!

Will not work!

We, Zhang Dolphin, are the only ones who can become famous! ! Brother Chun! ! !

However, leaving aside these words, the song "Sour and Sweet Is Me" is indeed a catchy youth song. It is very pleasant to listen to and the content is also very sweet, full of the sweetness of a little girl.

It just so happens that it goes well with "Don't Want to Grow Up".

So Yin Jun wrote it.

"Sweet and Sour Is Me" is even easier to write than "I Don't Want to Grow Up". The magic sound that filled my ears that year was not just blown. Yin Jun felt like vomiting when he heard it.

By the way, another song that makes me want to vomit was also first sung by girl Hanyun.

The name is "Sing If You Want to Sing".

This song goes well with the following "Super star".

While I was writing songs here, the secretary outside knocked on the door and told Yin Jun that Chen Shufen was here.

Only then did Yin Jun remember that he had to talk to Chen Shufen today.

Putting down the pen in her hand, Chen Shufen walked in.

She had just returned from the mainland the day before yesterday. She was in high spirits and looked very capable. She did not look like she had been traveling in the mainland for more than a month.

"Sit down, thank you for your hard work!"

Yin Jun stood up and poured her a glass of water.

Chen Shufen just sat down, then stood up again, caught the water glass, and said thank you.

She has been really hard lately.

When I first went to Huajing to complain and protest, not only Huang Bogao was with me, but she was also with me the whole time.

After they opened up and relaxed the conditions, Huang Bogao went back, and it was she, the director, who discussed the details.

Then she returned to Xiangjiang to prepare, start transporting equipment, start setting up the stage, and contact various ticket sales, security, transportation, etc., all by herself.

Fortunately, she has been in charge of large-scale casts such as the "Kilin Culture New Year Tour Concert" three times in a row, otherwise she would not have been able to manage it at all.

The key is that many systems in the mainland are different from those in Hong Kong and abroad. She has to maintain and handle them carefully. She cannot be arrogant just because she is from Hong Kong.

This is what Yin Jun specially told. For the future development of Xiangjiang stars in the mainland, no matter what other stars are like, the staff and stars of Qilin Culture must be modest.

After a trip of 20 concerts in 10 cities, even three singers sang together, and they were very tired. Luo Jialiang was even hospitalized for two days of infusion during the tour - after the infusion was completed, he rested for a few hours before stepping on the stage again. , this requires gritting one’s teeth to persevere.

Not only the three singers, but all the staff, including Chen Shufen, also worked hard.

So I returned to Xiangjiang the day before yesterday, and the company gave everyone a full week off, so there was nothing to do.

But Chen Shufen couldn't rest. She had to report to Yin Jun the specific matters of this mainland concert tour.

As expected, although the average audience for each of the 20 concerts held in the mainland exceeded 30,000 people, the ticket prices were not high at all due to the living standards and consumption levels in the mainland.

After excluding the external expenditure costs on the mainland, the box office of the concert was only 1 million yuan - in total.

This means that each game is only 100,000.

Even based on the highest official exchange rate, this is only HK$500,000.

Oh, wrong.

The exchange rate between Hong Kong dollars and RMB is only 5:1, and the exchange rate between RMB and Hong Kong dollars is only 1:3 - this is the dual-track exchange rate system.

It seems a little embarrassing when it comes down to it.

Everyone has worked so hard and only made a few million Hong Kong dollars in profit. If the company follows the normal sharing, with hundreds of people, they can only get a profit of one or two million at most.

The more is three to fifty thousand, the less is three to five thousand.

It’s really unreasonable to get such a small amount of money after working hard for a month.

Fortunately, Huang Bogao acted responsibly. After listening to Chen Jiaying's complaints, he applied to the group's vice president Huo Jianning to allocate part of the profits from the concert-related music tapes as remuneration for the concert.

During the concerts in March and April, Kirin Record Factory had recorded and sold 40 million music tapes, and now it has sold almost 30 million tapes. At this rate, they will be sold out in May at most.

Kirin Record Factory's music tapes maintain a policy of small profits but quick turnover, but such a large base of 40 million tapes still brings high profits of more than 30 million yuan.

Originally, Yin Jun had mentioned this in advance. Regardless of whether this concert was a profit or a loss, the record company would subsidize the dividends.

I think Yin Jun also knows that it is not profitable at all to do concerts in the mainland. ——Even if the money is made, according to the agreement between the boss and the mainland, even if the money is made, there is no way to take it out.

However, because Huo Jianning is in charge of the Kirin Record Factory in the Mainland, a smart person like Huang Bogao will definitely not go past Huo Jianning and tell Yin Jun directly. This is a kind of disrespect to Huo Jianning.

Now that he applies to Huo Jianning first, Yin Jun will definitely not be angry, and Huo Jianning will think that he is very sensible, so it really kills two birds with one stone.

The facts were just as Huang Bogao imagined. Huo Jianning readily agreed to distribute the 10 million Hong Kong dollars in profits to the singers and staff of the concert.

Yin Jun in the United States also agreed and gave an additional 5 million.

The money was deposited into the bank accounts of the singer and the staff yesterday, the day after they returned.

Three of the singers received 2 million each, and Chen Jiaying received more than them, 3 million.

The remaining 6 million was divided among the 100 backup dancers, musical instruments and other staff.

"After the reward arrived, everyone was very happy and called me specifically to ask me to thank Mr. Jun."

So after talking about her journey in the Mainland, Chen Shufen deliberately added this sentence.

"I should thank you." Yin Jun shook his hand, "Opening up a new market is the most difficult. You are also an ice-breaking trip, which is very important for the future development of Qilin Culture."

"The fans in the mainland are actually similar to those in Hong Kong, Japan and South Korea. Although they don't have much money, they love music the same way." Chen Shufen said with a smile, "Our ticket prices are low, but in theirs In terms of income level, it is already very high, but every game is sold out, which shows that the mainland market has great potential, especially after their salaries increase."

She knew that Yin Jun was a staunch supporter of the Mainland, so he naturally spoke in favor of the Mainland.

Yin Jun smiled when he heard this, "Of course, the market in the mainland will be very good in the future."

This is also nonsense.

Singers such as Chen Shufen and Zhang Xueyou can be said to be all-powerful in the mainland's concert market.

You and Xiangjiang singers have made a lot of money in the mainland just by holding concerts. This is something you can't imagine now, right?

"I have written the specific feelings and evaluation report of this time in this document. You can take a look at it when you are free, Mr. Jun." Chen Shufen took out a document from the bag next to her and said.

"Do you think there will be any difficulties if the company wants Leslie Cheung, Tan Yonglin, Chen Baixiang... or even Teresa Teng to hold a concert in the next step?" Yin Jun took the file and asked in passing.

"The current conditions in the mainland are still not good enough. Concerts are held in stadiums, not even a professional venue with four sides. The consumption level, population base, and people's music appreciation level have greatly restricted their ability to perform. The pursuit of meeting." Chen Shufen said, "If these superstars want to go, I suggest just opening it in Huajing, Shanghai, and Guangdong, and adding one in Lin'an at most. The scale of about seven or eight games is not too shabby. "

Yin Jun nodded slightly.

Chen Shufen's point of view is still very stable, and it is also a mature and prudent suggestion.

Given the size of the mainland market, there is no way it can be as exaggerated as Zhang Xueyou and Jay Chou did after 2010, opening 20 or 30 cities at once.

If we just introduce Hong Kong singers to mainland fans, we don't have to worry about quantity, quality is more important.

Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou represent about 40% of the most elite high-income people in China. Being able to capture them first is already a success.

"You need to take a rest for now." Yin Jun said in deep thought, "In the second half of the year, we will organize a few more singers to hold concerts. We don't have to do seven or eight concerts for everyone, three or four will be enough. Promotion and To build momentum, we must first do enough, and the stage effect must be good. Building a reputation is far more important than making money, do you understand?"

"I see."

Chen Shufen nodded.

Although she has the responsibility of touring concerts throughout Asia every year and also has the responsibility of local concerts in Hong Kong, since her boss said this, she knows that she will have to focus more on the mainland in the future.

Not to mention anything else, the generous financial rewards and decentralized powers that Yin Jun gave her were enough to make Chen Shufen work for Yin Jun.

Working for a boss like this, even if it’s a bit tiring and hard, it’s still worth it!
