The Yinna River Band is now a well-known band in Yahe.
Even if it's just a simplified version of a folk music band.
Don't look down on folk music. What's wrong with folk music bands?
Yinna River Band is a band that has released albums, so why do you look down on them?
The Yinna River Band has not only released albums, but they have also sold quite well.
The album "Harvest" can also be purchased at the Yahe Audio-Visual Market.
Since its release on March 1st, in just one month, this album, which hasn't been heavily promoted, has quietly sold over 100,000 copies and is now climbing toward 150,000.
Its sales speed is a bit frustrating. It's always so slow and unhurried, with only a few thousand copies being sold every day. Since its initial release, there has been basically no change.
You see no signs of it reaching its peak, but you also see no signs of it declining.
Gao Xing carried this audio tape in his pocket almost every day, and would show it off to acquaintances whenever he met them.
Sure enough, when I heard the song "Harvest" playing on the stereo while I was eating, I was so happy I almost danced for joy.
After lunch, the guests left one by one, including the Black Island Cold Window Band, who were going to perform at the Maritime Ballroom that evening and would not stay any longer.
Liang Liang hired a Huanghai bus to take them and the equipment away.
My godfather and godmother went to the south, and a manager from a construction company came from there, bringing 10,000 yuan with him.
The manager also took this bus back.
After seeing these people off, Liang Liang accompanied Qin Wenju to the courtyard on the east side of the guitar factory to look at the timber she had bought from her.
Qin Wenju's timber market has not been very successful since it opened; it hasn't lost money, but it hasn't made any either.
However, this is only temporary. Once the infrastructure boom begins, Qin Wenju's limited amount of timber won't be enough for anything.
"When will the infrastructure boom begin?"
Qin Wenju was somewhat dissatisfied with Liang Liang's words of comfort; wasn't he just trying to fool her?
"You should ask your boyfriend, he might know! You should go back, it's already 2 o'clock."
"Hey! Why are they chasing us now?"
"Gao Xing and I have so many things to do! How can we get anything done if we just keep wandering around here with you?"
Qin Wenju had an urge to kick someone.
After Qin Wenju left, Liang Liang and Gao Xing moved a small stool and sat at the entrance of the guitar factory.
“When Lianwan City TV interviewed the Blue Shark Band, I made a suggestion that the TV station should also support folk music performed by farmers. That’s when I mentioned the Yinna River Band. They were very interested and they’re coming to interview your band next month and make a documentary about you. I’m giving you a heads-up in advance so you can be mentally prepared.”
When Lianwan TV was making a documentary about them, Liang Liang brought up the Yinna River Band.
Upon learning that the Yinna River Band was also from the Lianwan area, the editors of the Arts and Literature Department of Lianwan TV Station became interested and decided to make a documentary about the peasant band.
This news made me really happy.
"Xiao Liang! Thank you so much. We're just a bunch of farmers, and now we've released an album and appeared on TV. These were things we never even dreamed of before. You're truly our benefactor."
"You guys need to have real talent. If you don't have talent, giving you opportunities is pointless. Lianwan TV wants to interview you, so this is your chance to show your talent. I'm going to write a few festive new songs for you. One is useful for the interview, and the other is something you can keep for performances when someone has a celebration. You can also use them as songs for your new album in the future."
Hearing that Liang Liang was going to compose music for them again, they were happy but also a little embarrassed.
"Xiao Liang! We really feel bad about always asking you to write music for us."
"Uncle Gao! You don't need to feel bad. I compose music for you and release albums, and I also get a share of the profits. Everyone puts in the effort and everyone makes money, so please don't feel embarrassed."
Liang Liang doesn't write songs for others and release albums for free; he earns a share of the profits.
Labor yields results, which is only natural and there's nothing to hide.
What's wrong with everyone making money and everyone being happy?
"Your album has already sold over 100,000 copies. The profit sharing will come in June. How much you'll get is still unknown, but it should be a very considerable amount."
The cost of a cassette tape itself is only a little over one dollar. The biggest advantage of the albums handled by Liang Liang of Pacific Publishing is that there is no need to pay expensive copyright fees. Thus, the difference between the cost of a cassette tape and that of a pirated copy is mainly in terms of profit and tax.
Therefore, the profit from a single cassette tape is quite considerable. Liang Liang takes 40% of the profits, which is about 1.2 to 3 cents per tape. If the album sells well, the profit share can be very substantial.
The profit margin for optical discs is slightly higher than that for audio tapes, but the number of DVD players installed is still insufficient, so the sales volume of optical discs is still very small and currently in a negligible stage.
The album "Harvest" has sold over 100,000 copies, generating 120,000 to 130,000 in revenue sharing. After deducting Liang Liang's half, Gao Xing and the others will still receive 60,000 to 70,000.
This was a huge sum of money for them.
This is only a temporary sales figure; in two months, the number will increase, and the money they can receive will be even more substantial.
Liang Liang then handed over the two new songs he had written to Gao Xing.
With "Good Luck" and "Good Luck Continues" added to the repertoire, the Yinna River Band now has three new songs.
Let's wait until their first album is finalized and see how many copies it sells before deciding whether to make a second album.
If we make a second album, then we'll have three songs!
"Go back and rehearse these songs as soon as possible. Once you've learned the songs, I'll arrange the music for you. I'll stay home for the next few days until the TV interview is over."
Liang Liang wanted to wait until the TV station finished interviewing the Yinna River band before leaving, not to get screen time.
Since the Yinna River band had never been interviewed by a TV station before, they inevitably got nervous and talked nonsense when facing the camera.
Liang Liang was their stabilizing force; with him around, they wouldn't mess things up.
Gao Xing happily took the song and went home.
Liang Liang looked around and was surprised to find that he was all alone after everyone had left, so he stood up and went into the drying workshop on the north side.
He hasn't visited the drying workshop even once since it was put into use.
The technicians from the drying equipment factory in Lianwan City who stayed here to train the workers have already returned.
Once they've been taught, they'll naturally go back.
There are only four people in the drying workshop, working in two shifts, one for daytime and one for nighttime.
Their job is to monitor the temperature and humidity of the equipment.
When the temperature and humidity are high, the temperature drops; when the temperature and humidity are low, the temperature rises.
Let's take those two boys' eggs out and let them cool down.
