At noon the next day, Xiong died, no longer having to endure the night of online blast.
The "mistress" drew her sword and cursed, the "excessive" tolerated the criticism, and the "you in the past" put down the sword and stopped fighting. The turmoil of contract termination and relationship change and cheating has basically come to an end.
Oh no, it's the end, because Chenxing...
…
"Ha, Chen Xing withdrew the lawsuit..."
"It's not surprising. If Chen Xing doesn't withdraw the lawsuit, the video in Ran Ge's hand is not to be underestimated..."
At half past ten, Chenxing’s official account once again sparked a wave of heated public opinion with a post about the withdrawal of the lawsuit against Xiong Ran. The post implicitly expressed an apology, which was an admission of weakness.
I have to admit defeat. There is no point in continuing to fight hard.
"Ah, Qiu Ruixue dares to show up..."
"Hey, not only did he show up, but he also released his new album on November 11. He's really stubborn and fearless..."
"What if I don't release it? I've already finished it and promoted it for so long. If I release it, I can still make some money back. If I don't release it, I'll lose a lot of money. Poor Chen Xing is in such a difficult situation..."
"It's all Chen Xing's own fault. Xiong Ran terminated the contract, and he even tried to take advantage of her in order to give Qiu Ruixue a sympathetic image. But in the end, he hit a wall and was killed. This wave of blood loss is not unfair..."
"I heard that Qiu Ruixue's album cost nearly 5 million to produce, and no less than 3 million to promote?"
"For 10 songs, the digital album costs 15 yuan each, and the physical collector's edition costs 50 yuan. If the platform and channels take half of it, the sales volume must be at least 20 million to break even. After all, there must be a 20% tax..."
"Sales of 20 million? Ha, no chance..."
"Maybe, there will always be some crazy fans who will post it..."
"That's really stupid. Qiu Ruixue's cheating photos have come out, and you're still a die-hard fan?"
"Hey, you don't understand the joy of being a dog licker, and you don't understand the stupidity of a brainless fan, Amen..."
The world has a strong protection for copyrights, and the punishment for piracy is also very severe. Generally speaking, for popular singers, especially those at the diva level, sales will not be too bad unless the album is really bad.
But Qiu Ruixue is different. She was exposed for cheating, lost a lot of fans, and her popularity plummeted. Even if she had a lot of die-hard fans before, how many of them still support her now? Although the main income of singers is not album sales, but commercial performances, advertising endorsements, and concerts!
But once a black mark is cast, all bad luck will come. It is 100% certain that Qiu Ruixue’s career path will be cut short and there is no hope for her.
No matter how hard you try, you can never get back to your previous highest point.
The first line is hopeless, the second and third lines are hard to protect, and it’s useless.
…
3 million, 5 million, 8 million, 10 million!
There are four major ratings for a singer's single album sales: best-selling, phenomenon, hall of fame, and epic. Each album will be awarded this title only if it reaches the corresponding level within one month from the date of release. Levels achieved through hard work over time do not count.
To date, there are not many movies in China that have sales of over 5 million copies in a month, let alone the subsequent 8 million and 10 million, which may not be seen in our lifetime.
Of course, there are those who have achieved their goals through hard work over time, such as three months, half a year, or even more than a year!
Of course, there will be some water in either method, after all, there is no limit on the number of digital albums that can be purchased.
In order to boost sales for their goddesses or idols, some crazy fan clubs buy thousands or even tens of thousands of tickets. The platform doesn't care about this. As long as they spend money, they get a share of the profits. It's up to them.
But in terms of sales, the title of queen or king of pop also depends on a series of comprehensive data such as singing skills, popularity, value and endorsements, not just album sales.
You can call her a popular little queen or a quasi-queen all you want, but the true title of king or queen cannot be self-proclaimed.
Among the five best-selling albums, at least two must achieve monthly sales of over 5 million copies to be eligible for the selection.
So considering all the conditions comprehensively, no matter how good or beautiful the data is, it is of little use. Entertainment companies cannot falsify data too much. After all, to see whether an enterprise is popular or not, you can just hold a concert tour or see whether the advertising endorsement has brought matching income to the client.
Popularity, worth, and data, all three must at least have real substance, otherwise they are just empty talk.
To achieve the unified tone of the above three elements, we need handsome men and beautiful women, singing skills and personalities, and most importantly, works, good works, works that can become a hit.
"Thank you, I'll think about it..."
After hanging up the phone call from an entertainment company again, Xiong Ran pinched his brows lightly. He invited everyone to sign a creative cooperation agreement with the company, or to buy the copyright or usage rights of "Mistress·Over the Top·You in the Past".
Of course, there were people who tried to invite us to write songs, but they were all written for newcomers and the prices were very low. None of them were famous or well-known. Did they look down on us or did they just not believe in us
“Sure enough, starting a business is not that easy…”
Xiong Ran sighed inwardly. Not to mention the songwriters and composers hired and signed by major entertainment companies, even the famous freelance creators were being closely watched by all parties.
As soon as the client had a demand, it had already been screened and booked out, so how could there be any that slipped through the net
There are also some that accept orders publicly, but the price...
Buzz, buzz~
A message comes in via micro-message, describing a focused gaze.
…
"Boss Qin, aren't you busy..."
In the late afternoon, at a riverside tea restaurant near the Bund, this time it was Xiong Ran who came as agreed.
"It's ok, at least I'm not busy now..."
Qin Xiaojing pushed the frame of her glasses on her nose and smiled. "Let's put aside the question of whether to sign the Hongtu creator contract and just talk about your three songs..."
“Three songs can make a small album! Hongtu can help you produce it, and promote and sell it…”
"It's completely free, that's a good idea."
It was good, so good that Xiong Ran shuddered slightly.
The drunkard's real intention is not the wine, the ultimate goal is still him, after all, it is not an empty saying that one should be grateful to others for what he has done for them, and it is difficult to repay favors.
"Boss Qin forgot that I can't debut."
"I didn't forget, I didn't say it..."
Qin Xiaojing shrugged lightly, "It should be feasible to release songs and songs by myself without signing an artist contract. Chenxing's termination conditions will not be too harsh on all the details! What do you think? Hongtu is delivering a big melon of sincerity to your door..."
"Well, it's very sincere!"
Xiong Ran asked in a serious tone, "But why didn't Hongtu offer to buy these three songs of mine?"
“The song is great, but the person is more important!”
Qin Xiaojing smiled and said, "Cooperation requires the willingness of both parties. Personal connections are just an indirect way to deepen cooperation and promote or guarantee the interests of both parties..."
"Return the favor! Hongtu is sincere in inviting Mr. Xiong, but there will be a deadline!"
"Or does Mr. Xiong still have the same attitude?"
Looking at the frank and sincere eyes on the other side, Xiong Ran was very moved, but, "Sorry, I'm afraid I am not worthy of Hongtu's sincerity! However, if we only talk about the sale of three songs, we can talk about it..."
Hongtu produced the album for free and helped with the sales. This is so sweet that it will make your back weak after eating it.
So forget it and continue to start from sesame.
"Tsk tsk, so cruel, and so courageous..."
Qin Xiaojing was not angry, but sighed: "It seems that you are determined to start your own business. I believe you have searched for some entertainment companies' public invitations to sing songs! Did you still find that there are no good orders? The reality is cruel..."
Xiong Ran didn't respond, but he actually answered.
Silence is it.
"Good luck, handsome..."
Qin Xiaojing breathed a sigh of relief. She couldn't sign anyone, and they refused her offer to produce and promote the album for free. So there was nothing more to talk about. As for whether the three songs "The Mistress Goes Too Far, You in the Past" would be sold, that was up to other departments of Gui Hongtu.
However, even if you buy it, the price will not be very high. After all, you have already seen it online. By the time the company's singer makes an album and sells it, the peak of popularity will have long disappeared.
It can be done as a commercial performance, or you can sing on stage during a concert or a show.
In a word, the price-performance ratio is not high and it is disappointing.
"Thank you for your insight, Mr. Qin, and your kind words..."
Xiong Ran smiled slightly and stood up to see him off.
