Money is not important.
What is important is reputation.
Hu Yibao's reputation is really scarce now.
[Diamond record!]
[The record era has arrived]
[Li Ning's evaluation of Hu Yibao]
[Old singer hopes everyone can emulate Hu Yibao]
...
Hu Yibao then took out his mobile phone and checked the trending searches on Weibo.
The smile on Hu Yibao's face became brighter and brighter. There
was an overwhelming amount of information about himself.
It is estimated that tomorrow, at least 1 billion reputation points will be reached.
Maybe it will exceed 1.5 billion or 2 billion!
This will be great!
"Ding ding ding!"
The mobile phone message suddenly rang at this time.
They were all congratulatory messages from relatives and friends.
Chen Yuan: "Brother Bao, congratulations, you have a diamond record!"
Lu Xun: "(Thumbs up) Awesome, awesome, I've known for a long time that you have this talent."
Wang Le: "Mr. Hu, the average record sales of our college students in South China University of Technology are 2.5 million, and each singer is a talented singer."
...
Lin Jingjing: "Congratulations, Mr. Hu." Yang Mi'er
: "Congratulations, your first record has become a diamond!"
...
Hu Yibao replied while reading the message.
"La la la!"
The phone interface suddenly jumped, and his mother called.
Hu Yibao quickly answered.
"Yibao, your neighbor Aunt Wang said that you released a record and sold 10 million copies."
Hu Yibao deliberately said modestly: "Mom! These are trivial matters, how can it be worth you calling to ask."
"This is indeed a trivial matter, I just want to ask, have you found a partner?"
Hu Yibao's face was stunned, and his mother Zhao Lihong continued.
"There are still more than two months left, so hurry up. You have a good career. I have discussed with your father. We will take care of the pig farm for the time being. You don't need to worry about it. But if you haven't found a girlfriend yet, you have to come back for a blind date."
"Hey, you are already 24..."
Hu Yibao interrupted: "Mom, I am 22 now."
"It's already the New Year, and you are still 22. Yesterday I saw your elementary school classmate Zhao Meng in the village. He has changed three girlfriends. You are not worse than him. How come..."
Hu Yibao glanced at Cheng Wen who was standing next to him, and said quickly, "Mom, I am talking about work with my friend now."
"Work is important. I won't bother you. Hurry up and find a partner."
After hanging up the phone, Hu Yibao smiled at Cheng Wen.
You probably didn't hear it...
"Mr. Hu." At this moment, Cheng Wen suddenly spoke and asked, "We are going to hold a celebration banquet at QQ Music tonight. Do you have time?"
The first diamond record in the Chinese music scene in 20 years.
It would be a pity not to hold a celebration banquet.
If it weren't for the work this afternoon, Cheng Wen would have wanted to hold one right now.
"Sorry, I really don't have time!" Hu Yibao shook his head immediately.
Then, Hu Yibao explained, "I have to fly directly to Qiongdao tonight. Something has happened."
This matter has been discussed with Jiang Gangmeng and his friends. Jiang Gangmeng's friends are also waiting for them on Qiongdao. We can't let them down again!
"Uh!" Cheng Wen was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "Okay! Business is important!"
"However, after all, it is a diamond record, we should also have a sense of ceremony. How about this, I order a cake, it won't be too late to eat it before leaving!"
Seeing that Hu Yibao was still hesitating, Cheng Wen added.
"I'll ask them to send it over within an hour."
"Okay!" Hu Yibao nodded immediately.
One hour is acceptable to him.
"Have you recorded the accompaniment in the recording studio?" Hu Yibao asked afterwards.
"Don't you want to have a meal first?" Cheng Wen asked doubtfully.
"I ordered takeout, including your portion, Mr. Cheng. It's on the way. I want to take advantage of this time to record the song first." Hu Yibao explained.
"Hahaha, then I'll have a meal with you, Mr. Hu." Cheng Wen said with a smile, "I'll make a phone call and ask Lin Dong."
After receiving a reply from the recording studio and confirming that the accompaniment of "People Like Me" had been recorded, Hu Yibao went directly to the recording studio.
"Excellent People Like Me" He should have lived a brilliant life
, but after more than 20 years
he is still drifting in the crowd..."
In just a few minutes, Hu Yibao finished recording "Someone Like Me". After
returning to the lounge and eating the takeaway
, Cheng Wen said to Hu Yibao while waiting for the cake, "Mr. Hu, I just got a call from the big boss. Can we put the second album on the agenda?"
The sales of "Chinese Style" shocked everyone.
The big boss of Penguin Empire meant to strike while the iron is hot and prepare to promote Hu Yibao's second album. QQ Music can get less profit, but they will produce and distribute it.
It's mainly for fame.
If QQ Music can produce a few more diamond records in its financial report next year, the stock price will soar.
The benefits behind this are far more than what can be earned from releasing an album.
"You guys at QQ Music will handle this. "Hu Yibao said readily.
This matter had been discussed before, and he had already agreed.
The copyrights of the next ten songs are all his.
Therefore, the share ratio will definitely be higher on his side. If he signs a contract with QQ Music in the name of New World Company, he can save a lot of taxes in the end.
"Okay!" Cheng Wen nodded, "Let's talk about the general contract!"
"We at QQ Music are mainly responsible for production, distribution and sales. Therefore, we want to take 30%, and the remaining 70% belongs to you."
Nowadays, record sales are pre-ordered online and shipped directly from the factory offline.
There are no middlemen to make a profit. At most, the courier company can make some money from the courier fee.
The production, distribution and sales of QQ Music are the costs they pay, and 30% is also a very reasonable commission. Some make money, but not much.
If it were someone else, Cheng Wen estimated that he could split it in half with him, which would be very face-saving.
Hu Yibao was also very clear about this and nodded directly, "Okay, let's do it this way. "
Then the two sides discussed the contract for the next album and more specific details.
At 1:20 pm,
the big cake that Cheng Wen ordered was finally delivered.
It was carried in, nine layers high.
Take pictures, blow out candles, take group photos, eat cake.
After a series of procedures, Hu Yibao, Zou Guowen and Zou Guowu left the QQ Music headquarters with several large boxes of [Chinese Style] albums and gifts.
After driving to pick up Lin Jingjing and Yang Mier who had been waiting at the agreed place, they went directly to New World Company.
