Chapter 606 Lin Feng’s plan

Sam's eyes lit up. Major record companies around the world have long been coveting the Chinese market, but mainland China is more troublesome. There are many hidden rules, which makes it difficult for many companies to adapt. Moreover, piracy is extremely serious, which is why all record companies have always

An important reason to hesitate to move forward.

But now, for Avril Records, there is an important backer. Lin Feng is the richest man in China, and his roots are in China. In terms of the so-called unspoken rules, there is no need to worry with Lin Feng’s help. Regarding piracy, you can also think of ways

.Besides, China has a large population. Sam believes that with the popularity of Michael Jackson and Avril, there should still be a market.

Sam's words attracted the attention of Michael Jackson and Avril, who both looked at Lin Feng. The Chinese mainland market is a big cake for everyone, and no one dares to ignore 1% of the market.

Enough to offset the entire U.S. or the entire European market.

Lin Feng frowned slightly after hearing this. Sam's idea was still a bit taken for granted. In terms of unspoken rules, he might still be able to contribute. After all, Lin Feng now has many friends in the business world in China, such as Zong Qinghou of "Wahaha Group", "Giant"

Shi Yuzhu of the "Group"...etc., especially Shi Yuzhu, Lin Feng believes that he must know many high-ranking officials, otherwise there will be no relevant "experts" to criticize a game as "Zhengtu" as "evil", and its background is obvious.

The connections these people have are almost all over the country. It is no problem for Lin Feng to use their connections to circumvent some unspoken rules. In addition, Lin Feng himself knows the top officials of the government, which is enough to clear up most of the unspoken rules. What's more, for

For some officials, as long as they have money, anything can be done easily.

What really gives Lin Feng a headache is piracy. Although only 1% of the market is enough to satisfy any superstar. But the question is, can there be 1% of the market? Even one thousandth may not be achieved. For example, Ivy

On average, a record is about 18 US dollars, which is equivalent to more than 100 yuan. How can so many people buy it? Although China's GDP ranks among the top six in the world, its per capita GDP is outside the top 100 in the world.

Even watching a movie is a high-consumption activity that can only be enjoyed on a date. How come there are so many people spending hundreds of dollars to buy a record?

With the same quality, a pirated version only costs 10 yuan, while a genuine version costs over a hundred yuan. Apart from die-hard fans, Lin Feng believes that many people will choose to pirate it.

When Lin Feng analyzed these situations, the three of them were dumbfounded. They did not expect that the mainland Chinese market would be like this.

"Lin, what should we do? Are we going to give in to them? I won't! Can you think of a way?" Avril held Lin Feng's hand with a determined look on her face.

"Avril, don't make this matter difficult for Lin. Although he is very rich, his power is mainly in the IT industry, which is the record industry. You have just made your debut, and you don't understand many things. I believe Sam should know this.

If the record companies join forces, how powerful they will be. Even Bill Gates can't shake them." Michael Jackson was very open-minded and comforted Avril instead.

"Sam? Really!" Avril asked in disbelief.

Sam sighed. What Michael Jackson said is true. If record companies around the world unite, no one can match them in terms of power in the record industry. What's more, there are parent companies behind these record companies. If the

Taking into account the strength of the parent company..., Sam couldn't believe how much trouble they could make. Even though Lin Feng has almost 40 billion U.S. dollars in assets (the stock price of "Second World" has risen, and Lin Feng's personal assets have risen), but in the face of

The cooperation of these companies is still as small as a lonely boat in the vast ocean.

It is precisely because of the huge power hidden behind these companies that Sam hopes that Avril and Michael Jackson will release records in mainland China. With the socialist background with Chinese characteristics in mainland China, coupled with Lin Feng’s power, other companies

Don't even think about touching Avril Records at all. When the time comes, we will establish a foothold in the Chinese mainland market, use the Chinese mainland market as the foundation, and then go global.

Unfortunately, piracy is rampant in the Chinese mainland market!

"Forget it, as long as I go out and join any record company, this so-called temporary alliance will naturally collapse." Michael Jackson sighed and said with a smile.

"No!" Avril pouted and shouted loudly. Michael Jackson took care of her like a father, and she absolutely could not turn a blind eye when Michael Jackson was in trouble.

Michael Jackson gently touched Avril's forehead and shook his head relaxedly. This matter cannot be solved by anger, people must face reality. Fortunately, he is still the "King of Pop", and he can still give these companies

Bring profits, otherwise other artists would have been banned by record companies long ago.

Lin Feng looked at Michael Jackson with a helpless expression on his face, sighed secretly, and felt his own incompetence. Even though he was the third most powerful person in the world, he was still so powerless. Thinking of this, Lin Feng felt a deep sense of failure.

I feel that I am so rich, but I can’t help my former idol. What a failure!

In a daze, Lin Feng suddenly remembered the basketball that Jordan gave to James, and the words written on it - keep moving forward. It seemed that he had nothing to be afraid of. He would only lose some money at most, so he should not give up so early.

Lin Feng had already had an idea in his mind, but it was still immature and had certain risks. However, at this moment, Lin Feng suddenly felt that he was too cautious. It was a total loss of only a few hundred million US dollars. Couldn't he afford to lose it? On the contrary.

If it succeeds, not only will I slap these overbearing record companies in the face, but I will also be able to help my idol. From a risk-investment perspective, it is worth the risk.

Thinking of this, Lin Feng made a decision.

"Wait, I have an idea." Lin Feng suddenly said.

Avril, Michael Jackson, and Sam all looked at Lin Feng. After all, if they have a choice, no one wants to give in and be constrained by others.

"It's true that I can't compete with these companies in terms of power, but that doesn't mean others can't," Lin Feng said excitedly.

"Who!" the three people asked curiously.

Lin Feng smiled and waved his finger - netizen.

The three of them were stunned.

"Haha, although I am not in the record company, I am in the IT industry. Indeed, they are blocking you now, but they cannot block you on the Internet. It is already the 21st century, the century of the Internet. For most people now

For young people, you can live without a radio station, a TV station, or even a TV, but you cannot live without a computer or the Internet. We can definitely build an online radio station to promote your songs." Lin Feng became more and more excited as he talked.

"Not only can we build an online radio station, but we can also set up an online video website to send your promotional videos online, or put some videos of your life online, so as to attract more netizens. At that time, we can also adopt an online ordering model.

Sales. This will not only greatly reduce the cost of publicity, but also the influence will not be small. Of course, the overall sales volume may be affected, but I believe the profit will not be less." Lin Feng said.

The three of them were stunned. Avril, Michael Jackson, and Sam were all musicians, so they were not familiar with it, and they didn't quite understand what Lin Feng was saying, but they felt that what Lin Feng said was definitely right.

"Lin, then I'll leave this matter to you." Avril said.

"Lin, as long as there is really no problem, I can recruit a few diva-level people to join Avril Records and vent my anger." Michael Jackson is also full of resentment towards these record companies. Since he wants to join forces,

When he left Avril Records, he was not a vegetarian. With his influence, Michael Jackson believed that there were still many superstars willing to leave their original companies and join Avril Records as free-signing artists.

It is the dream of all musicians to be less exploited and to be able to freely produce their own music.

Lin Feng's inspiration flashed again, and he thought of "Audition: Virtual Community" being developed by the No. 1 game development team in the "Second World". Doesn't it require the authorization of many celebrities? This time may be just an opportunity. After all, he can own it

50% stake in Avril Records.

Perhaps this crisis will be another opportunity!

Thinking of this, the cells in Lin Feng's mind ran faster, and a series of plans were soon released.

"Terry, set up a music channel for me and a music radio station that will be broadcast live across the United States." Lin Fengfei went to the Houston Rockets' own "fsn-houston" TV station.

"Create a music radio station and music channel? Or live broadcast across the United States?" Terry was stunned.

There are so many well-known music channels and radio stations in the United States now. It is probably not a good idea to open them now and broadcast them all over the United States.

"Boss..." Terry wanted to dissuade Lin Feng from this somewhat crazy behavior.

"Okay, do as I say." Lin Feng didn't want to explain. It would be bad if he explained too much now and might scare the snake.

"Okay!" Terry nodded helplessly. Although he didn't understand why Lin Feng did this, he still implemented it honestly. What's more, the income from the sports channel, TV drama channel, and e-sports channel of the TV station is enough to support the opening of another music channel.

channels and the cost of setting up an additional music radio station. Besides, the TV stations are all owned by Lin Feng, and Lin Feng is so rich that he can’t afford to lose money.

"But boss, the ratings of "Prison Break 2" have dropped slightly. The second season's total revenue and after-tax profit are US$70 million." Terry Weiwei said with a little regret.

The first season of "Prison Break" made more than 100 million US dollars in after-tax profits, but "Prison Break 2" only made 70 million, a 30% drop. And judging from the audience's response, it seems that the expectations for "Prison Break 3" are not that enthusiastic. Of course.

, as long as it is filmed, Terry believes that there will still be many viewers watching it. After all, the first season of "Prison Break" was so successful, many people are still looking forward to the ending.

"Also, our TV station still has too few flagship programs. Boss, we still need to invest more in TV series like "Prison Break"." Terry said expectantly.

Lin Feng nodded. He still has many excellent American dramas in his mind, so he will write them down when he has time.

When Lin Feng's "fsn-houston" TV station started playing Avril's latest two singles "When-You-Are-Gone" and "Girlfriend", many American listeners were shocked.

These two songs are undoubtedly the highlights of this year. Avril fans who listened to the "fsn-houston" TV music channel and music radio station were ecstatic. They never expected that the little punk princess had just released her second album

, and after holding a global concert, two singles will be released immediately. The styles of the two singles are very different, but they are both so good. Especially the dynamic melody of "Girlfriend" makes people obsessed with it as soon as they listen to it.

Moreover, the music channel of the "fsn-houston" TV station will also play some life videos of Avril and Michael Jackson while the music is rolling, which makes the two's fans even more crazy.

The ratings of the "fsn-houston" music channel have been rising steadily. Three days after its launch, it actually became the tenth highest rated music channel in the United States.

Seeing this result, many record companies cursed. After all, they jointly blocked Avril Records because they wanted to prevent artists from opening their own record companies. Unexpectedly, when Avril Records was desperate, Lin Feng jumped.

After he came out, he used his own TV station to help promote it.

Damn Chinese, do you think you can solve everything if you have money? Let me tell you, in the record industry, your hair doesn’t count! - Motorola, the president of Sony Records, looked ferocious and made several phone calls.

Subsequently, the music channels of major TV stations across the United States began to select "most popular songs", "most popular hits" and other selection activities to seize the ratings. For a while, the ratings of the music channels of Lin Feng's TV stations hit a new low, and they also

There is a very serious problem: none of the major record stores in the United States sell Avril Records' records.

Avril's two singles have become very popular since they were broadcast on the music channel of Lam Feng's TV station. However, many fans want to buy the CD, but unexpectedly find that all record stores do not sell it. When I called the TV station, the TV station did not know.

Where can I buy it? This makes many fans extremely disappointed.

Haha, Chinese boy, aren't you rich? If you have the ability, you can build record stores all over the United States! Let me see how much money you have to spend. If you have the ability, you can build 1,000 record stores for me! - Sony Records President Motola Haha

laugh.

No matter how good a song is, if there is no record to buy, with today's science and technology, fans can copy it through recording and other means. Although the effect is not good, it can satisfy the desire to listen. When everyone is tired of listening to it, the record will be released and the sales volume will be

It must be terrible. As long as they suppress Avril Records from the beginning, it won't take long for Motorola to believe that Michael Jackson, the very loyal "King of Pop", will definitely leave Avril Records.
