Regardless of whether it's a hot radio station or a hot single, it's too far away from real life, and Cao Xuan didn't have any intuitive feelings.
Until one day when Cao Xuan came home at night, he heard "Ten Thousand Reasons" playing from the loudspeaker in front of the courtyard.
A junior high school student from an adjacent household in the yard held a pirated tape with his photo printed on it, and coyly asked for his autograph.
Cao Xuan finally realized that his song was really popular.
After teaching junior high school students about copyright awareness, Cao Xuan took out a genuine CD, signed the package, and gave it to his first fan.
When the junior high school students happily left with the CD in their hands, Cao Xuan thought about it secretly.
Happy!
However, what made Cao Xuan even more happy was that "Ten Thousand Reasons" passed CNR, from north to south from Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei, and began to slowly spread to other provinces.
Lanqi's distribution channels obviously can't extend so far. Besides, the supply of goods is tight, and Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei are still struggling, let alone other provinces.
At the critical moment, Beijing Printing and Publishing House offered an olive branch, and they were willing to spend 1.5 million yuan to take over the national album production and distribution rights of "Ten Thousand Reasons".
This price is not low, and it is only the production and distribution rights, the copyright of the song is still in the hands of Lan Qi and Cao Xuan.
But Cao Xuan and Jiang Yue are not short-sighted people. "Ten Thousand Reasons" has shown extraordinary potential. In less than half a month, the sales volume in Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei exceeded 50,000+.
This can be crowned the title of [Platinum Record] in Taiwan Province.
Of course, due to the large population base in the mainland, it cannot be generalized, and the price of "10,000 Reasons" is much cheaper than the regular album, and the gold content is slightly watery.
But even so, the sales volume of 50,000+ should not be underestimated, and it can be expanded to the whole country, at least several times.
And because "10,000 Reasons" has become famous and popular, the price of the album can also be increased appropriately, and the profit from it cannot be paid off with 1.5 million.
After discussions, Cao Xuan and Jiang Yue asked the Beijing Publishing House for 3 million yuan.
This price is obviously not acceptable to Jingcheng Publishing House.
Now that "Ten Thousand Reasons" has spread, pirates have entered the market one after another, and the album's best sales bonus has passed half.
The plan of the Beijing Publishing House is to rely on its strong distribution capabilities across the country, and in the remaining half of the bonus time, grab as many bites of meat as possible before the pirates.
But no one can say how much meat can be grabbed.
In addition, producing a large number of albums and using national channels will also cost a lot of money. If the copyright is 3 million, I don't know if I can get it back.
If one wants more and the other wants less, then negotiate.
Jiang Yue is a good player, Cao Xuan has accumulated experience after these several times of tempering, Han Qi's disciples in the courtyard are usually a little lazy, but they can still do it when they are serious.
The three of them cooperated with each other and talked with the representatives of Jingcheng Publishing House all afternoon, and finally finalized the contract.
The album of "10,000 Reasons" sells the publishing rights, and sells it to Beijing Printing and Publishing House for a price of 2.1 million.
This money belongs to the sale of copyright, and Cao Xuan accounts for 70%. After deducting taxes, he can get more than 1.3 million.
And before Lan Qi's younger brother's album was sold in Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei, he still had a 30% dividend, not much money, but tens of thousands of dollars.
We have the money to buy a courtyard house!
Although he is already a "big" rich man with a net worth of one million, Cao Xuan still lives in a rental house in a simple way. The only change is that he has added a mobile phone and a mountain bike for transportation.
There is no way, although the money has been earned, most of it has not arrived, and he only has a deposit of tens of thousands of yuan.
Cao Xuan just wanted to squander, and he didn't have that condition.
Riding a newly purchased mountain bike, the first thing Cao Xuan did was to go to Prince Gong's Mansion to visit the class of Mrs. Li Mingqi on the crew of "Han Zhu Ge Ge".
After returning to Beijing from Xinwu, Cao Xuan once visited the old lady's house, and the old lady prepared a table of dishes for him to entertain him.
Later, when the old lady was free, she called and asked him to go home. This time, she heard that the old lady was filming in Prince Gong's Mansion, so she came to visit the set.
Of course, in addition to visiting the cast, the main Cao Xuan also wanted to meet the crew of "Han Zhu Ge Ge", the "all villains".
It's not easy to visit the class empty-handed, so Cao Xuan went to buy more than a dozen watermelons and two boxes of mineral water for the old lady.
Coincidentally, when Cao Xuan arrived on the set, he just happened to catch up with the old lady who was out of the show. When he saw Cao Xuan coming, he was so happy that he held his hand and didn't let go.
Cao Xuan found a scene manager, watered the watermelon and mineral water, and at the same time looked at the other leading actors in "My Fair Princess".
Zhao Wei, who has just finished his freshman year, is invincible in youth, at the peak of his appearance.
Lin Xinru is soft and timid, she is a bit dark in real life, not as photogenic as in the camera.
The most surprising thing is Fan Bingbing, the 800,000-year-old sister who is famous for her beauty. She hasn't grown up yet, and she really looks like a little maid following Zhao and Lin.
The two members of the Little Tigers had nothing to say, but Cao Xuan took a few extra glances at Zhou Jie, who had been hacked for more than ten years.
The nostrils are quite big
Cao Xuan had no intention of dealing with these people, so he chatted with the old lady to satisfy his curiosity.
Speaking of it, Cao Xuan actually had the opportunity to join the crew of "My Fair Princess". The old lady missed him and recommended him to the director to see if he could play a role.
However, at that time several leading roles had been confirmed, and the only thing Cao Xuan could play was the little eunuch who followed Little Swallow.
Cao Xuan did not dislike this role, but after seeing his photos, the director felt that Cao Xuan was too handsome and would easily steal the limelight from the protagonist, so he rejected it.
In addition, Cao Xuan was busy releasing a single during this period of time, so he was not very enthusiastic about this matter, and finally let it go.
The old lady has always felt sorry for this, but Cao Xuan didn't feel anything.
To be honest, he is not very interested in Qiong Yao drama.
Cao Xuan clearly remembered that when he first came to the capital, he was moving bricks at the construction site, and the contractor bought a black and white TV and put it in the work shed, and a group of people watched it every night.
At that time, "Shui Yun Jian" was very popular in mainland China, and the workers chased it every day, and Cao Xuan watched it happily.
Then the more you watch it, the more awkward it becomes, especially the famous scene of Chen Hong letting several men take over at the same time, which simply refreshed Cao Xuan's three views.
This TM is a line that normal people can think of
Since then, no matter how popular the subsequent Qiong Yao drama is, Cao Xuan doesn't watch it, for fear of being misled.
Cao Xuan stayed with the crew until the afternoon before leaving. During this period, apart from chatting with Dai Chunrong, who played the queen, the rest of the actors had no communication
What he didn't know was that Fan Bingbing and Zhao Wei approached him as soon as he left, and asked curiously.
"Ms. Li, who was that person just now?"
Although "Huan Zhu Ge Ge" is a Qiong Yao drama, it is a transformational work of Qiong Yao and has not received much attention.
Normally, I don't have much chance to contact new faces. It is rare for someone to come to visit the class, and everyone is a little curious.
Although these "Han Zhu Ge Ge" lead actors are notorious in later generations, but now they have just stepped into the film and television industry, and have not been completely soaked in by the fame and fortune of the entertainment industry. The old lady's impression of them is not bad, and she smiled.
"His name is Cao Xuan. He is a junior close to me. He is free today. Come and see me."
"Cao Xuan, he is the one who almost acted as a little stool."
Zhao Wei has some impressions of this name, after all, it is rare for an actor to be passed because of his good looks, so it is hard not to be impressive.
Fan Bingbing also felt that the name Cao Xuan was familiar to him, but he just couldn't remember where he had heard it.
Until the next morning, when the actors went to filming in the car, "Ten Thousand Reasons" played on the car radio made Fan Bingbing finally remember who Cao Xuan was.
Soon, "Huan Zhu Ge Ge" spread all over the world, and the little stool actor who was abandoned at the beginning suddenly became a popular singer.
Qiong Yao's daughter-in-law, He Qiong, who is also the producer of "Han Zhu Ge Ge", regretted it unceasingly. If Cao Xuan had been kept at the beginning, the promotion of the new drama would have another hot spot in the future ?
