The one who follows "One move and a half-stage" is "The Death Gun" starring Sammo Hung and Yuan Biao.

The movie also sent Ye Jin a ticket to the midnight preview movie, but he still did not participate.

It’s not that Ye Jin doesn’t give face, but that he is recording a single - “what    makes     you     beautiful”.

This song is the first single of One Direction. After it was released, it became very popular. It sold 130,000 copies in the first week and was airlifted in the second place in the English album sales rankings.

Subsequently, the song achieved great results in Australia, Sweden, Italy, Mexico and other countries, and ranked in the top ten in the record sales rankings.

After this song landed in America, it was the champion of the Billboard rankings, making the one-way band popular overnight and becoming an idol that is popular among teenagers around the world.

"what    makes       beautiful" is also the fifth single released by Ye Jin.

His first three singles "you      beautiful", "all    about     you    long      you    love     me     during his filming of "Fang Shiyu", they were successively released by MCA Records.

His fourth single, "Last    Christmas", was released a week before Christmas. This single was also recorded by Ye Jin with the help of a musician from Hong Kong.

"Last     Christmas", a classic song of the famous idol group in England in his previous life, is also the most well-known song in the mainland. It is sung almost every Christmas, just like Xu Rongjie's "The God of Wealth Arrives".

Because Ye Jin selected very classic songs, and they are also popular songs that are popular among young people. The melody is beautiful and the lyrics are touching. In addition, Ye Jin's emotional interpretation, it is very popular among young people, with an average sales volume above the gold record.

The single "as    long      you    love    me" has even reached the level of platinum records, selling 1.2 million copies.

"Last     Christmas" sold 1.5 million copies with the help of Christmas and ranked ninth on the Billboard singles.

And this is just the sales of the country of America. In fact, the reason why America's music scene dominated the world is because it has a huge distribution network around the world, which can release records all over the world at the same time.

Therefore, Ye Jin's records are not just sold in Amerika, but are released in many places around the world.

For example, "all   about   you" ranked 12th; "you   are     beautiful" ranked 10th in the Italian music rankings and ranked 8th; "last    christmas" not only became very popular in England, but also ranked second in the All-British music rankings, but also ranked 3rd in France across the sea, ranking third in the French music rankings...

Of course, such sales are indeed much worse than popular superstars such as Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, David Boy, Elton John. The sales of other people's records start from one million, and it is not uncommon to sell records to tens of millions.

However, it is not easy for Ye Jin to not participate in any publicity, film MVs, participate in any tours, commercial performances, and have such sales.

...

You should know that record sales are closely related to promotion.

For example, when every singer and idol group in South Korea releases new songs, there will be about a month of [song-playing period].

During this month, the singers almost went on singing shows throughout the day, went to radio to receive interviews, participated in various performances, participated in various variety shows, etc., increasing exposure as much as possible to stimulate record sales.

In this month, the singer was almost exhausted.

In comparison, Ye Jin is much more Buddhist. He only writes songs, records songs, does not participate in publicity, or participates in commercial performances.

Even though it is so casual, the singles released are easy to sell and each one makes money, which is quite difficult.

In the recording industry, some people have done statistics specifically. Half of the records released by record companies every year are not profitable at all. Even big-name singers will be unpopular.

For example, Van Helen, one of the most outstanding rock bands in America, was criticized by music fans in 1998, and even sold less than one million copies.

The band was also very dissatisfied with the quality of this album. When the selection was released in the future, all the songs on this album were not selected.

Big-name bands like Van Helen still have a crush on the board, let alone those second-tier and third-tier singers.

The record loses money, because of the high production cost. For example, Van Helen's "van       iii" has sales of nearly 800,000 copies, which is definitely not bad for ordinary singers.

However, Van Helen has high requirements for producing albums. A song takes several weeks or even months to record. After one or two years of polishing, an album will be released.

The charges for recording studios, producers, tuners, etc. are calculated in hours. The longer the album is recorded, the more funds you spend.

It is very likely that an album can cost millions of dollars to produce. In this case, it is difficult to make a profit if the album sales of hundreds of thousands of copies are sold.

Second, the promotional cost is high. First-line singers like Van Helen and Michael Jackson are naturally not small-scale events.

Just shooting MVs is a lot of money. Like Madonna's "Express       MVs cost 5 million US dollars. The 5 million US dollars in Hachijiu year can be said to be a sky-high price.

In addition, advertising on TV, radio, paper media, etc. is also a lot of money. Singers go around to promote activities, but transportation costs are a lot of money.

What's more, singers never travel alone, such as agents, assistants, makeup artists, nutritionists, private doctors, dancers, etc., plus some friends... a team of ten or twenty people is not an exaggeration at all.

Ye Jin's record is cheap, and the production cost of a single record is only about 100,000 US dollars.

The publicity funds are also very frugal. It does not require expensive MV shooting, nor does it require gorgeous singing uniforms. The huge dance team saves a lot of transportation costs.

Therefore, the cost of records is very low, and the production cost and publicity investment are no more than $500,000. This is why record companies make a fortune.

...

When a record company makes money, Ye Jin naturally makes money, and he still makes two shares of money.

As a songwriter, he can earn a royalty; as a singer, he can also get a commission on the record.

A single record costs ninety cents, and Ye Jin can get ten cents. If it is sold abroad, it is usually about 30% off, which is seven cents.

If the cumulative sales of four records are about 10 million, Ye Jin can get about one million US dollars. To be honest, it is quite good. If Ye Jin is willing to take advantage of the sales of the record and run around for commercial performances, then he will make more money.
