Chapter 1,652 Smart Businessman

The advertisement for "American Idol" is simple, crude and refreshing.

At the beginning, there was a Grammy Award. A person whose face could not be seen clearly walked onto the awards stage under the cheers of the crowd. Countless newspapers and magazines reported that she (he) became an American idol and an American symbol in 1999.

Along with it, there are countless dollars. The whole life of a person changes drastically and he becomes successful and famous.

At this time, Qin Feng came out.

"Do you want to be an idol? Be an American idol? Maybe you will feel that you have a bad appearance, are too old, have no platform, and have no opportunities, but now, none of it matters. As long as you can sing and want to sing, Then sign up for "American Idol" immediately, and this will be your shortcut to becoming a star!" Qin Feng said with a smile.

Subsequently, the registration phone number, registration website and other information appeared at the bottom of the screen.

Finally, a line of words will be printed on the screen, American Idol, The Chosen One, will it be you?

I have to say, this kind of advertisement is very exciting.

Especially the scene at the beginning, with thousands of fans and a room full of money, is so exciting. Anyone would like to become famous. Everyone wants to make money.

Everything in this world is nothing more than fame and fortune.

This time, it's all there.

Who wouldn't be tempted.

Of course, this kind of talent show is very good. Give everyone a way to ascend. However, the problem is that Qin Feng got involved. With him getting involved, the five major record companies are a bit uneasy.

What Qin Feng did before this made them very unhappy.

It is a good business now, with all parties benefiting, and they also have the initiative to speak, and will not let outsiders get involved at will. It also controls the upward path of major stars.

As a result, Qin Feng wants to obtain digital music copyright, which is a rebellion, or in other words, a revolution.

How could they agree?

As a result, Qin Feng thought that he had given up. But I didn't expect that Qin Feng would now create another "American Idol".

Let's not discuss whether this "American Idol" will be popular, but does Qin Feng have another deep meaning?

The five major record companies discussed it for a long time. Although they felt that Qin Feng was "harboring evil intentions", they did not feel that Qin Feng could harm them in any way.

Even if you create an American idol and the whole country becomes a force, what will happen? Can she be more famous than Britney?

Britney's potential is obvious to all.

Therefore, some of them were doing things behind their backs.

What if you create an amateur American idol? In the end, even if your Lisa releases an album online, so what?

Does it make sense? Can it harm us?

What is the general trend?

Just one or two of you cannot change the general trend.

It is even said that Qin Feng devoted all the efforts of the United States to create a national idol, and in the end they could poach him.

In this way, Qin Feng was overwhelmed.

After such calculations, the five major record companies no longer care much.

After all, you're just getting started. Make more money by doing more. But they don't care about that.

There are many people making money in this world, who do you think is the best?

As long as you don't destroy their business and their money, they won't bother to care about you.

But what they didn't expect was that there was an endless stream of people signing up.

In just one night, more than 100,000 people signed up.

Before signing up, everyone needs to sign a contract.

This contract stipulates the ownership rights of all videos of those participating in auditions on American Idol, including subsequent promotions. All ownership rights belong to the producer of "American Idol", which is the newly established "Voice of America Entertainment".

Originally, Temupu was going to directly name it "Voice of America Recording Entertainment Company", but Qin Feng asked him to drop the word "record". This also avoids trouble with the five major record companies.

If they knew, they might cause some trouble.

So remove it first. Anyway, it is easy and convenient for such a company to change its name in the United States.

Of course, the ownership rights belong to "Voice of America Entertainment", but if who sings it, then there will also be corresponding sales sharing rights. Of course, this share ratio is not high.

The current proportion is that after excluding all operating expenses, 30% of the share belongs to the individual and the rest belongs to the company.

In addition to this clause, there is another point, which is the registration fee.

Te Mu has a very good way of making money, which even Qin Feng admired.

Everyone who registers needs to pay a registration fee of US$19.99.

This, in fact, is a bit expensive.

However, Temupu also stipulates one thing, that is, if you fail the audition, the company will refund the US$19.99 registration fee to you. At the same time, it also comes with a video of your audition, which will be made into a VCD for you.

Of course, this is free.

And if you pass the audition, the money will not be refunded. Because if you pass the audition, you will have the opportunity to appear on TV, perform solo, and receive certain training.

This money will not be refunded.

Naturally, for everyone, this makes sense. If you really want to pass the audition, the $19.99 is definitely worth it. That's willing to spend.

And those who fail the audition can get their money back, which is worth it. It will also come with a VCD of a personal performance as a souvenir.

This is also very meaningful.

Even if it's ugly, it's better to keep it for yourself and appreciate it.

So if so many people still make VCDs and give them away for free, won’t they lose money?

After all, there are always only a few people who can pass the audition. Ninety-nine percent of these people will not be able to pass.

How expensive is it to make a VCD?

All expenses, Fox Television.

Fox has no objection to this. After all, there will always be some interesting scenes in this audition, and a pre-production special can be produced and broadcast at that time. There will always be people watching.

Now that we have the people to record, the cost is saved, and the only thing left is burning.

For this recording, I have found a suitable VCD recording factory. They are responsible for recording. Due to the large volume of this order, if everything goes as expected, it will be an order of at least several million. For such a huge order, the price will be very low and can reach freezing point.

Of course, this still costs money. As long as they are willing to advertise, don’t spend more money. Just pay the production cost of this VCD.

It doesn't make any money, and it doesn't cost a penny. If you are willing to advertise, you can pay for VCD printing. When the time comes, put your advertisement in the title of this VCD.

So, be smart!
