Chapter 162: Poor B&B Business
When recording the new song, Lin Fan was once again dominated by Xia·Little Witch·Yan. With the familiar "one more time", it only took him half a day to record the song!
Comparing this with the snail-like pace at which Lin Fan recorded the song when Xia Yan was not around, there is really no harm without comparison. Lin Fan even despises himself!
After recording the new songs for the concert, Xia Yan helped Lin Fan review the songs he had recorded during this period.
There were 9 songs in total, and it took more than half an hour to listen to them all. In particular, Xia Yan listened to some of the songs repeatedly. In total, more than an hour had passed.
Lin Fan saw Xia Yan finally took off his headphones and asked quickly, "How is it?"
These songs, from composing to instruments, vocal recording to the final soundtrack, were basically completed by Lin Fan himself. Although he felt that there was no difference between what he heard on Earth, who knows if he would be uncomfortable in a new world? It is better to listen to the opinions of local professionals.
Xia Yan looked at Lin Fan with complicated eyes, unable to speak for a long time, and finally found his voice: "You... forget it, if these songs of yours were released, they would basically be at the level of the album's title song, but the style is too different. Otherwise, if they were made into an album, it would not be a problem to sprint to platinum."
There are 3 billion people in China, and copyright protection is very good, so the sales index of Blue Star's records is much higher than in the previous life. Gold records are sold for 5 million copies, platinum records are sold for 30 million copies, and diamond records are sold for 50 million copies. It also corresponds to the singer's status. First-line singers must have a platinum record, and the indicator for superstars above the first line is a diamond record.
As for world-class superstars, the starting point is 3 diamond records.
Xia Yan said that Lin Fan's songs, when made into an album, have the potential to go platinum, which is tantamount to acknowledging that Lin Fan has the ability to become a first-line singer.
It hasn't been long since Lin Fan, who knew nothing and only relied on his face to get by in talent shows, has grown to this level.
“Just make it into an album.”
Lin Fan didn't care. Making an album is so tiring! You have to shoot music videos, find producers to produce, and then promote it. You have to run around for announcements, appear on variety shows, and do roadshows. Look at Xia Yan, who has been running around for two whole months! Just to promote a new album!
Lin Fan, a big salted fish, said, isn't it nice to make money lying down? Why do you have to make yourself suffer? You can make money by posting songs online, at most you can make less.
Xia Yan saw through Lin Fan's little thoughts and didn't try to persuade him.
Why persuade him?
No persuasion! The more you persuade, the more rebellious he becomes! Just let Lin Fan stay like this. When one day Lin Fan finds that he is getting poorer and poorer, and not only is he poor, but he also owes a lot of foreign debts, he will take the initiative to come out and do business!
"It's up to you to decide your own affairs. But I suggest you don't release these new songs yet. It's best to wait until my concert is over and release the duet first. Wait until the popularity of the duet song dies down, then consider releasing new songs. After the first song is released and the popularity dies down, release another one. Keep releasing songs like this, and this way, your profits will be maximized."
Lin Fan nodded repeatedly: "Miss Xia is right, I will listen to you! You are a professional!"
Xia Yan couldn't help but reveal a sly smile.
Lin Fan's mind is actually very simple. He is lazy, but he wants to make money, and it would be best if the money could go into Lin Fan's pocket.
So as long as Lin Fan's two demands were met, Lin Fan would almost obey. Just like Xia Yan bought him a lot of things before, although they were expensive and not very practical, they met Lin Fan's demands of opening a homestay and wanting to play with the little sister. Lin Fan just felt sorry for the money and didn't have any objections.
Xia Yan originally set aside two days to work with Lin Fan on the new song, but unexpectedly, the new song was recorded in just half a day. The work-in-progress went smoothly, and he also witnessed Lin Fan's talent. It can be said that he gained a lot.
"That's it for now. I'll use this song as the final stage design. I'll have someone pick you up when it's time for rehearsal."
…
Xia Yan left again. The popularity of her new album gradually faded, and she was still busy with her concert.
After seeing Xia Yan off, Lin Fan could finally sleep until he woke up naturally, and be a happy salted fish, waiting for customers to come.
I sleep until I wake up naturally every day, and after getting up, I make myself something to eat.
Then, I just sat there and watched the show! Even if the new B&B is decorated beautifully, the price is also very attractive! The standard room is 1,688 yuan a day.
MMP, 6.1 million foreign debt!
I charge 1688 yuan for a five-star hotel with decoration standards that exceed the five-star standard, which is very affordable! If it is a standard five-star hotel, I would charge 3688 yuan and no one would say it is expensive!
But we don’t have a pretty front desk lady, gentle room service and wake-up service, nor do we have a five-star chef to provide free breakfast for guests, so it’s not too much to charge 2,000 yuan less, right?
Besides, I am also very handsome! Although I am not a five-star chef, I am definitely a man who has the system product - [Cooking Expertise]. I am always gentle, so I will definitely be loved by single ladies!
Dreams are beautiful!
Reality is cruel!
6.1 million in foreign debt, 20 rooms at 1,688 yuan, if the rooms are fully booked every day, it will only take 6 months to pay off the debt! If you add expenses and taxes, it will take 10-12 months.
9.5 million renovation + 500,000 rent, if the house is fully occupied every day, it only takes 10 months to pay off the debt! If you add expenses and taxes, it is estimated that it will take 16-18 months to get back the investment, which is 1 and a half years.
Can I fill the room myself?
cannot!
Lin Fan sat in a daze on the 268,000 yuan leather sofa for a week! No customers came! Not one! No!
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
…
This made Lin Fan wonder if he had chosen the wrong business. Is it too late to regret now?
…
Until Xia Yan sent someone to pick up Lin Fan to rehearse for the concert, Lin Fan's B&B had not received a single customer! Business was so bleak that it was heartbreaking.
Lin Fan quietly closed the B&B reservation program, locked the door, hung a sign on the door that said "Closed for 5 days", wiped away a few bitter tears, and went to the city where the concert was held - Shanghai.
When they arrived at the booked hotel, Xia Yan was not there, but Yang Hongxia came to pick up Lin Fan in person.
This was also the first time Lin Fan and Yang Hongxia met.
"Hello Lin Fan, I'm Xia Yan's manager Yang Hongxia. I'm a little older than you. If you don't mind, you can just call me Sister Xia with Xia Yan."
"Hello, Sister Xia!"
Of course Lin Fan didn't mind. Yang Hongxia was the number one agent of Xinghe Entertainment and also the ace agent in the entertainment industry. She had made many celebrities famous. At present, at least four or five out of ten first- and second-tier artists in the entertainment industry had a relationship with her, and the remaining five or six would call her sister when they saw her.
The real industry leader, Lian Xiaoyu’s goal.
Well, Lian Xiaoyu decided so herself. As for whether it can be achieved, Yang Hongxia said that as long as she is happy.
"Yanyan is still rehearsing at the venue and will probably not be back until tonight. You should take a rest first. I will pick you up to go to the venue for rehearsal tomorrow."
Lin Fan followed suit: "Okay, thank you Sister Xia."
