"Ahem!" Fu Xiaochen seemed to be unable to stand everyone's enthusiasm, and said in confusion, "Ye Ming, I am your fan! A die-hard fan! The song "My Deskmate" you sang at the graduation performance Great, there are also "Believe in Myself" and "My Future is Not a Dream." I wonder if you have time now, can you sing it again?" When Tuhaochen said these words, there was a burst of laughter in the chat box. A brief pause, and then it starts again!
"666! Tuhao Chen is really 6! Why didn't I think of it! Please sing!" "Please listen to a song! I want to listen to "Brothers Sleeping on My Top Bunk"!" "I want to listen to "The Sunshine Always Comes After the Storm"! It sounds so good!”
"I want to hear Xiao Nian sing "Only Mom is Good in the World"! Haha! Oh, by the way! Ye Ming, congratulations on becoming a five-star singer!" "Yes, yes! Five stars in one night, the myth has arrived! Congratulations Ye Ming!" "Congratulations Ye Ming!" Ye Ming! Create a five-star myth!"
"
Looking at the messages that kept popping up on the screen, Ye Ming suddenly asked with a confused look on his face: "What five stars? What myth? What are you talking about?"
"What? Don't you know yet?" Fu Xiaochen's voice came again, "Last night, WeChat Music published a message overnight, announcing that although your song downloads exceeded 18 million in one day, it successfully became a five-star singer!"
"Huh? Eighteen million?!" Hearing this number, not only Ye Ming was shocked, but Cao Shan and the other three were also shocked!
"Really?" Ye Ming himself was a little unbelievable. When he uploaded the three songs last night, he also saw that the downloads of "I Do" and "The Only" were less than 100,000!
This night's effort actually increased to 18 million? At this time, Ye Ming had only one feeling, that is, the other party must be joking!
"It's true!" Fu Xiaochen said, "Now it has spread throughout the Internet! Ye Ming, you are now a five-star singer!" "Yes, yes!" There are a bunch of people swiping the screen below!
Ye Ming took out his cell phone in disbelief and wanted to check online. Then he remembered that his cell phone was out of battery, so he had to ask Zhang Zhijing to help. Zhang Zhijing directly opened the notebook he had put aside.
Let me go! The screen is full of news about Ye Ming becoming a five-star singer overnight!
Ye Ming immediately logged into his WeChat music account through the computer and clicked to enter the backend. Ye Ming clearly saw that behind his name "Yi Zhiming", there was a purple star.
That is the unique mark of a five-star singer!
Ye Ming himself never thought that when he woke up, he would actually become a five-star singer!
"Haha! That's awesome! Ming! You're awesome!" Seeing his brother become a five-star singer overnight, Cao Shan and his fellow kings also sincerely cheered for him! "You must have a good meal at noon to celebrate. !”
"It's necessary! Haha!"
Looking at the purple star mark, Ye Ming also felt excited in his heart!
This is a real five-star certification!
Originally, Ye Ming thought that the five-star goal could not be achieved until at least the broadcast of The Voice. [I did not expect that Zhang Ran became a five-star brother so quickly!
Just as the brothers were happy, Fu Xiaochen's voice came from the phone again: "Um... So can you please invite some of you to sing some songs for us in Yangon? It's like an online concert!"
"Yes, yes!"
"Please sing!"
"Please sing +1!"
Facing the fans' requests, Ye Ming and Cao Shan looked at each other, and they all showed their kindness:
Since we want to sing, we can't do it here. After all, Cao Shantong's drum set is still in the attic of Ye Ming's house! So, a few people hurriedly packed up and went to Ye Ming's home.
Because of the need for recording, Ye Ming himself had purchased some microphones and other equipment of relatively good quality, so there was no need to prepare additional equipment in a hurry.
While the four people were preparing for the performance, the Yangon people on the Internet were already happily running around to promote the news that the Yangon band was going to hold an online concert!
The first stop for publicity is naturally the Yangon Club’s official website!
After the last time the four major mentors jointly recommended the Yangon album, coupled with this Ye Ming's business performance fundraising incident, the official membership of the Yangon Club has now risen to 30,000!
In just two days, 17,000 die-hard fans were added, which is extremely rare in the entire entertainment industry!
In today's world, fan clubs adopt a paid membership system. If you want to join the club, you must pay a one hundred yuan annual membership fee.
Although the money is not expensive, for the citizens of the Han Empire, where the entertainment consumption market is still extremely sluggish, most people are still reluctant to hand it over. Anyway, the relevant news will be exposed by the media and paparazzi, and it doesn’t matter whether you can enter the club or not!
After all, you have already spent money to buy the other person’s album and downloaded the other person’s songs on WeChat Music. Why waste your money to join the music club? Therefore, only die-hard fans who truly love celebrities can Will spend this money to join the club!
As for this membership fee, in addition to the necessary operating and management expenses of the club, most of the money belongs to the entertainment company that operates the club. This is the most enviable thing about entertainment companies!
Those very popular stars have millions of people in their fan clubs, and they can easily earn hundreds of millions of yuan in membership fees in a year without doing anything. It's just that the income from this membership fee is basically taken by the brokerage company, and it can really fall into the pockets of the celebrities themselves!
This is also the reason why more and more stars nowadays choose to leave the company to start independent studios after their contracts expire - the exploitation of entertainment companies is too cruel!
Even the most popular national diva Li Xiaoyan, the fan club member dividend she can get is only 10,000, and her club members reached 1.3 million last year!
Calculated in this way, the dividend received by Li Xiaoyan is actually not even 10%!
And this is because the entertainment company where Li Xiaoyan works saw that Li Xiaoyan became a national diva and saw the bright future of money. In order to enable her to make better money for the company, it gave it to her!
Some people may ask, after all, Ni Miao Wan is also a child with a learning disability and is hated by the people! How about waisting this area? In fact, this is the current situation in the Chinese entertainment industry!
The share that most newcomers can get within the eight years of a new contract is only a few percent! Yes! You read that right! It’s not tens of percent, but a few percent!
In other words, even if you create a profit of 100 million for the company, you will only get a few million in the end.
There were even rumors that the share that Chengtian Entertainment gave to newcomers in the contract was only a few tenths of a percent, which was extremely despicable! Therefore, someone like Li Xiaoyan could get about ten percent of the club membership. The fee sharing is already considered a conscience discovery by the entertainment company to which they belong! Some ordinary singers and actors can't even get a penny, and they are all swallowed up by the entertainment company! Some people may ask, don't those singers and actors resist? ?
Of course!
but!
Because all entertainment companies have secretly formed such an unspoken rule to protect their interests! Anyone who dares to touch this unspoken rule will be jointly strangled by these vested interests! In this case , naturally no one dares to touch this minefield!
Even those highly popular celebrities do not dare to choose to terminate the contract before the contract is over, because once they do so, they will be ostracized by all entertainment companies, will not receive announcements, will not be in the news, and will eventually become a has-been. Celebrities, lost in the entertainment industry!
Of course, entertainment companies will not exploit those highly popular celebrities too harshly.
Such a contract is basically a standard contract belonging to entertainment companies. The contracts of large and small entertainment companies are basically the same. This is a rule that they acquiesce to each other.
Of course, in order to attract artists, some small entertainment companies may promise relatively favorable signing conditions in the collateral clauses, but these are things that cannot be made public, because once they are made public, even them will be suppressed and suppressed by the entire industry. block!
Therefore, it is no secret to say that in fact, these entertainment companies have already become a cancer that hinders the development of China’s entertainment industry!
However, this cancer is too huge and too deep-rooted. In the past few decades, the tentacles of these entertainment companies have already spread to every corner of the entertainment industry, including radio and television, major TV stations, and news media. , paparazzi reporters, have already formed a huge circle of vested interests!
This cancer is parasitic in the entertainment industry, constantly absorbing the wealth created by artists, squeezing artists, and enriching themselves. Then they will continue to grow their business! Because of this, these entertainment companies are making more and more money. He is getting richer and richer, but the development of the entire entertainment industry has almost stagnated, and there has even been regressive selfishness! And these inside stories of the entertainment industry were all told to Ye Ming by Liu Zhenghuan in a private club!
Liu Zhenghuan, who is very optimistic about Ye Ming's future, does not want Ye Ming to become a cash cow for entertainment companies. He extremely hopes that Ye Ming can find an unprecedented path, hoping to find a path that can lead the Chinese music scene and even the entire Chinese entertainment industry to glory. The path of light!.
