This young reporter thinks that he chose the angle of the interview very well.
This is one of the most popular concerts and record pre-sales this year...
Starting from the topic of signed artists, it leads to a small perspective of world-renowned record companies supporting young artists, and then the story of a win-win situation for all parties including artists, concert halls, student orchestras and record companies, and finally it is sublimated into the prosperous cultural and artistic career of the Diolian Empire.
,Energetic...
These days, too many reporters like to make eye-catching stunts. As a dedicated newcomer, the young man has been determined to be a positive producer and communicator since he entered the industry, and contribute to the Empire's creation of a clean and upright media industry.
strength.
He looked at the Hoffman Records executive expectantly, waiting for him to tell this exciting story.
Mr. Mark was a little dazed at the moment.
Facing a large group of people watching, I could neither make something out of nothing nor make judgments about him. I could only force myself to smile gracefully, hoping that this question would be settled: "No."
"Really? I don't believe it." The young man smiled brightly.
Mark felt that the elegant smile on his face was a little stiff: "Huh?...Well, not yet, not yet."
"Why didn't you sign the contract? Is it because you didn't have a chance before?" The young man continued to ask with a sincere smile.
"..."
At this time, Fan Ning, who was distracted in the direction of the extension of the queue, finally pulled away from the excitement: "Stop talking about it now, arrange for the staff to increase the number of queuing channels, increase it to 8, preferably 10, and the speed must be fast!
"
It's already past 11 o'clock in the night, and if the line continues at this slow pace, the more than 3,000 music fans may really have to wait until dawn! Although everyone is enthusiastic now, the advantage of pre-ordering can also guarantee that they will get the record as soon as possible.
Instead of waiting for the next batch, if you toss people all night long, some people will be unable to bear it and decide to talk about it later.
No one is missing! The first booking results must be high!
"Yeah."
As soon as Fan Ning spoke up, the record company executive finally got out of trouble. Just as he had taught himself before, the record for this song was also his.
Although my heart was bleeding, the dispatching work started immediately.
Fan Ning's request of "the best 10 teams" was not realized. The navigation hall usually looks spacious, but now it is really not enough at the critical moment. The addition of the reception desk means that the various process areas in the back must also be adjusted accordingly.
After adding 8 teams, there were pillars and dividing lines everywhere from the lobby, and it was almost impossible to find a place to stay. The staff passing by could only stay close to the wall and go around the whole process.
It also took some time to guide the other half of the music fans to join the new queue, but it proved to be extremely necessary. The digestion speed was doubled. At 11:32 pm, the number of records scheduled to be sold exceeded 1,000.
When the clock struck zero, the number had reached 1,570!
In front of the reception desk, Kaplan, who had two deep dark circles under his eyes, almost laughed out loud.
For him now, money is just a number, but sales mean more than just a number. He didn't expect that the first concert he personally participated in polishing would become such a hit. He felt that what he had just swallowed
Every little pill is delicious.
And the number of listeners digested at this time is less than half!
"Mr. Mark, can I ask you a question?" The young reporter approached again.
"Why is it you again?" Mark was so frightened that he almost trembled.
...Isn’t my interviewing skills high? The young reporter was a little puzzled, but he still said: "I would like to ask you what kind of rating you estimate this record will receive in the future?"
This normal question within the professional scope made Mark relieved and said without hesitation: "I will start with a three-star rating, and it is even possible that I can change my rating to a four-star rating later."
"Really, are you sure?" The reporter opened his mouth.
At the end of the last century, Tioleon's Recording Industry Association and the academic circles of the music industry jointly issued the "Guidelines for the Evaluation of Record Grades". This system was initially implemented by the leading Hoffmann Records Company and several other second-tier companies, and later gradually
It has been adopted by large and small record companies around the world. Of course, the right to evaluate is still in the hands of the Imperial Recording Industry Association.
Although the Western Continent is recognized as the birthplace of mainstream serious music, and "Janus style" has always been considered synonymous with "pure blood", as a light luxury product under industrialization, the dominant position of the serious music recording industry will always be
In the Northern Continent, which took the lead in completing the steam revolution.
The "Album Grade Evaluation Guide" only actively or upon application includes records that they consider "in-stream", which has more than half of the elimination rate. After "in-stream", it is divided into one to four stars. In addition, there are "key" or "flower"
"Two special marks.
One-star records are usually described as "music that is quite conventional to a certain extent, but with excellent performance and production standards." In terms of market response, it may be 300 copies in the first round or more than 1,000 copies in cumulative orders.
Two-star records are "music whose performance and production standards reach the high level of the same era", with 1,000 copies ordered in the first round or more than 3,000 copies ordered cumulatively.
Samsung Records described it as an "outstanding and deeply touching performance", with an initial order of 3,000 copies or a cumulative order of more than 10,000 copies.
A four-star record is a "Legendary Performance" with an initial order of 5,000 copies or a cumulative order of more than 30,000 copies.
Market data is for reference only, focusing on art evaluation. However, in practice there are few exceptions with large errors. The ratio of the four is roughly maintained at 1000:100:10:1.
Those who dare to release records and accept the permanent scrutiny of history are not simple artists. In the era of orthodoxy, there may have been more such artists, but it is a pity that they did not have the opportunity to leave recordings.
Thirty years of rapid development of the record industry, and in the world's large-scale production environment with Theoline as the core, people can only issue more than 30,000 records. If they want to make the records popular and obtain higher or higher
Special grade evaluation is even more difficult.
In addition, the special mark "key" means "it is an indispensable cornerstone for collectors" and is often found in authoritative versions of popular repertoire, such as the complete Gilles symphony performed by a certain conductor; "flower" means "special"
"Commemorative significance", such as the last performance before his death, the farewell performance for the elderly, etc.
"At least three-stars with flowers? As for four-stars with flowers?" The answer from an authoritative unit made everyone around him look askance, and the young reporter also confirmed again.
They know very well that it would be terrible if an artist or group that releases a record for the first time can get a four-star award! Not only do ordinary newcomers have an objective lack of artistic accumulation, but it is also difficult to have such market appeal.
"Tonight's first order data is very likely to exceed 3,000, and the special meaning is enough to meet the "additional spend" standard, and the market potential will be greater in the future." Mark further explained.
The blood in his heart dropped again.
I really can’t understand why I have been blind this time when I have always been quick and accurate in my career for so many years!
Putting aside the fact of blood loss, if the @Jingjingshuge, conducted by Fan Ning, makes its debut record, it will be later rated as "Four Stars with Flowers"...
Hoffman Records has gained another precious honor. There is no doubt about it, but he will definitely have his boss put a knife to his neck and ask him to explain why a "Four Stars with Flowers" was not even signed!
…
At 1:25 in the morning, news came from behind that the first order quantity had reached 3,000, and at this time, there were still many queued listeners standing in the aisle inside!
As time passed, and after the service process was solidified, these key personnel in each unit were basically free, so many media also started their interviews.
Fan Ning naturally has a lot of onlookers here. Fortunately, he has a lot of experience in dealing with questions and has always answered questions calmly. While exposing the highlights that should be exposed, he is also relatively strict in other words.
"What are your next steps?"
"Still focus on creation, study on conducting, and bring you more and better performances."
"I want to verify one thing. Many orchestra members have mentioned that you are renovating your family business, the Turner Art Museum, and will you start planning to establish your own professional symphony orchestra after this trip?"
"It's true."
It’s really planning to build a symphony orchestra, extremely valuable content! The reporter’s eyes lit up: “As far as I know, most artists, including masters, only consider their own performances, through cooperation with other art groups or in well-known art venues.
What is the reason for this?"
"So as you said, a small number of people still have different ideas, right?" Fan Ning smiled, "The existence of art needs to be appreciated by others, and the platform is equally important to artists. I not only hope to be able to create something that suits me
A platform for ideas, and I also hope it can help others in the future."
"Then do you think this will cause controversy? If you are not optimistic about the market prospects, or it will be suspected of affecting your job... After all, there is a certain difference between art operations and art itself. Art venues that can achieve results in fierce competition have a lot of problems behind them.
They all have a very professional team, or they have direct official endorsement.” The reporter asked a very realistic and pointed question.
Indeed, not to mention "Forged Lion", even the masters of "Crescent Moon" are not necessarily good at business. Even if Fan Ning is about to be nominated for "Boethius Artist", the intangible resources behind him are only to ensure that he can perform on major platforms
Whether you can gain money and honor from doing so is completely different from whether you can make money by starting a business alone.
Fan Ning smiled easily: "Controversy is a good thing. It shows that you are still paying attention to my movements and waiting to see my results."
"You seem to show strong self-confidence. Can you tell me how it will select members?"
"All we can tell you at the moment is that the musicians' salaries are set at least twice the industry standard."
"The market appeal you are showing now can indeed match such operating costs. I am curious whether the name of your symphony orchestra has been determined? Can you reveal it in advance?"
"There are several alternatives, I'm sorry to keep them secret for now."
During the careful dialogue, Fan Ning released appropriate information about the formation of the symphony orchestra to the media in advance. They will be spread together with the report on the concert tomorrow, which should have a better publicity effect for future opening performances.
But on the other side, a certain girl was in a bad situation. Faced with the bombardment of more reporters than Fan Ning, her state was obviously a little dizzy.
"Ms. Sheeran, I heard that you are currently in your first year at the St. Lenia Conservatory of Music, right?" a reporter asked.
"I haven't enrolled yet, it will be next month, and...I don't know yet whether I should go to the Conservatory of Music or the College of Literature and History."
Although Sheeran's posture is graceful and elegant, there are too many eyes from the onlookers and music fans looking through the gaps, which makes her eyes a little restrained in the spotlight, and some of the changes brought about after being promoted to a knowledgeable person are not effective.
.
"Why do you have such superb violin skills at such a young age?"
"Maybe it's because I practiced more and my father trained me during his lifetime."
"Any advice for the vast majority of violin learners in the Empire?" another added.
"Practice more and listen more."
"How do you feel when fans express their overwhelming devotion and enthusiasm to you tonight?"
"Thank them."
"Ms. Xilan, what are your hobbies in life outside of practice?" A voice came from behind.
"Ah... do you want to answer this too?" Xilan said, holding her forehead.
"Miss Sheeran, Mr. Fan Ning dedicated the "Violin Concerto in E minor" to you. Is there any story in it?"
Music fans pricked up their ears.
"It was given to me as a gift," Hiran replied.
A gift? The reporter was shocked: "What gift?"
"Graduation gift..." The girl felt that the power of the crystal chandelier above her head was a bit too high, and the light made her cheeks feel hot.
"In addition to working together in music..."
"The audience is almost over, are you sure you don't want to wait for the most critical statistics to be released?" Fan Ning's voice came from behind.
The reporters were startled, and then they discovered that the end of the queue had finally retracted into the hall, and now there were less than 50 people in each of the eight queues.
Some audience members were stunned and refused to leave after buying. They all stayed at the gate and crowded around, watching Sheeran's interview with great interest.
Fortunately, Fan Ning was relieved, and Sheeran finally shrank behind him with relief.
"What did they ask you?" Seeing the little girl's strange expression, Fan Ning asked doubtfully. He retreated from the reporters in advance, and then kept watching the real-time sales from behind without paying much attention.
"...nothing."
"Ahem." Kaplan cleared his throat loudly.
"Ladies and gentlemen." This guy shouted excitedly, "The last fan has completed his pre-order, and now I announce the final results."
All the lights and cameras were focused on him, illuminating the sweat on his face.
In the backstage area, a large number of extra people were also waiting with bated breath. They were of course musicians, teachers or staff of the Santa Maria Symphony Orchestra.
After the show, the pre-sale started. In order not to occupy the sales venue, the students returned to the green room behind the stage to take a nap, but everyone was waiting for the results. Even those who couldn't bear it slept with their clothes on on the spot - they had no one
I don't care about the market response to this show.
At this time they finally arrived.
Kaplan continued loudly: "As of 2:45 a.m. on August 22, the San Lainia, with Carolyn Van Ning as composer and conductor, and Ciaran Conor as violin soloist and orchestra concertmaster
The symphony orchestra concert has a 100% attendance rate. As for the sales of live recordings——"
"The number of pre-orders is 3933! The number of pre-orders is 4450!"
The crowd burst into loud cheers.
Only one person saw the world suddenly turn dark in front of his eyes.
What was supposed to come finally came, but it was even more tragic than imagined.
4,450 copies, with a revenue of 133,500 pounds, he actually got 24,000 pounds, and Fan Ning got 109,500 pounds!
After deducting the labor costs for today's on-site work, deducting the fees for occupying the additional venue time in the concert hall, and deducting the taxes payable on the high revenue, he still ended up with more than 90,000 pounds in his pocket!
If a contract is signed in advance, the quantity relationship will be reversed!
With his market appeal and fame, how is it possible that he still wants to cooperate with ordinary contracted artists in the future?
!
With a "plop", Mark's legs softened and he collapsed directly on the chair behind him.
