"A bet?" The few of them were stunned by Qi Ming's words. What did he mean?
"Yes, Brother Li. Do you think the album can reach platinum?”
Platinum meant that the sales of a single album had exceeded 200,000. This was the most important indicator of a singer. Of course, there were a few different standards below.
150,000 yuan was a gold grade album, and 100,000 yuan was a silver grade album. It was already very impressive for a new singer to reach 100,000 yuan.
This referred to the sales volume in the Chinese-speaking region. It was also the standard to measure a singer in the Chinese-speaking region. Of course, platinum was not the highest standard.
There was a very impressive realm above platinum, and that was to be crowned king in one battle. This meant that one album could sell three platinum albums, which meant that 600,000 copies were sold at once.
It had been a long time since anyone had achieved this miracle. The most recent record was ten years ago. At that time, pirated copies were not rampant and the Internet was not very developed. Everyone would still buy records. However, it was getting harder and harder now.
Although this world placed a lot of importance on copyright, a great man surnamed Ma once said that if there was a 100% profit, there would be people who would dare to risk their lives. Piracy was more than 100% profitable, so this gray industry was still growing.
There was only one way for a singer to become a king these days, and that was to have five platinum albums.
"I admit that your songs are all very well written, but whether an album is good or not is not just a matter of the quality of the songs. It also depends on your singing skills, the operation of the company, your popularity, and luck.”
"I understand, but since it's a bet, you have to be bold! Otherwise, it would be meaningless."
"Hmm, you have a point. According to my judgment, your album has just entered the gold level at most. It's almost impossible for it to break through to platinum.”Li Ming said it more tactfully.
However, Qi Ming, Gao Yan, and the others understood what he meant. This meant that Silver was already quite good. If they were lucky, they could reach Gold, but it would be very difficult.
"Then my method is actually very simple. If the total sales of the album does not reach 100,000, I will not take a single cent.”
"This is interesting. This is the first time I've heard of it. It seems that you're very confident in your album, brother.”As he spoke, he raised his hand to signal Qi Ming to continue.
"If I break through to Silver but not Gold, then I'll follow your suggestion and ask for 5%!”
"Of course it's not too much. It's very normal. It's even a little low!”Li Ming said with a smile. This was basically the sales volume he expected. This share was just a low standard that he proposed as a businessman.
"Haha!" Qi Ming didn't say anything else, only smiled and continued,"If it can reach Gold rank, then it will increase by 5%.”
"Ten percent? If it was a gold grade record, it would actually be worth this price!”
"After that, every time the sales increase by 50,000, the share will increase by 5%. Since it's a bet, we have to set the highest standard.”
"Then I'll give you 70%. Our company will only charge the most basic production costs.”Before Qi Ming could finish, Li Ming said.
"Isn't this too high?" Qi Ming felt a little embarrassed. He had originally intended to give 50%.
"Brother, you should still calculate this.”
"I've already calculated this. There's no need to!”Ming Li laughed at himself. There wasn't a musician who didn't want to make an album that could surpass the title of King.
They even often thought about how their company's finances would be distributed if they really did it. According to Li Ming's calculation, 30% was about right, so he blurted it out without thinking.
However, this was a wonderful expectation because they knew that it was impossible.
"So, Brother Li, you agree to this bet?”Qi Ming asked with a smile.
Hearing Qi Ming's words, Li Ming smiled slightly. It seemed like he had been led into a ditch by this kid. However, he didn't want to go back on his word. The title of king in a battle was just a thought. According to Qi Ming's agreement, even if it was a gold rank, he would still have benefited.
"Alright, I agree! I wonder what the two of you think!" Only then did the two of them remember that there were two people beside them.
"Brother Gao, Sister Fangfang, what do you think?”At this moment, Qi Ming also remembered that he seemed to have been a little too excited and had forgotten about the other two.
Sister Fangfang's expression was a little bad because she thought that this was a very irresponsible behavior. This was irresponsible to the company, so she did not say anything. However, the meaning in her eyes was obvious when she looked at Gao Yan.
However, it was obvious that she was wrong. Gao Yan was still very interested in this proposal. On the one hand, although he had put a lot of effort into this company, his original intention was just to play around. This was just a subconscious thought. He would not admit it, but it played an important role at this time.
On the other hand, he also wanted to take a gamble. After all, men always liked to take risks deep in their genes.
"Since Mingzi is so confident, I'll give it a try with him. It's not a loss for our company anyway. It's just a waste of Qi Ming's time.”Gao Yan finally decided on this suggestion.
"Phew, as expected!" Sister Fangfang thought to herself, but she didn't say much since it didn't seem to have much impact on the company.
"Then let's have a good cooperation. When are you coming to our place to record these songs? I'll save a seat for you in advance. Also, do you want to familiarize yourself with them first?”
"En! I'm Brother Li, can you give me a week? I'll go if I'm in a good condition! I have to find my mood for these different songs.”
"Okay, no problem. I'll save the best one for you. I'll record it for you in a week. But are you sure you don't want to try?”
"Brother, don't worry. I'm confident. After all, this is closely related to my money. I won't do anything rash!”
"Alright then!" Seeing Qi Ming so determined, what else could Director Li say? He could only have Qi Ming's willfulness.# Daguan Review Passed: Daguan Time:071020197:01PM
