Start by trimming cow hooves

More than two weeks have passed since the release of the "Phoenix" album, and the popularity is gradually fading.

Ed Oliver, the manager of the bluegrass music company, personally flew to Hawaii without saying hello to Suri in advance.

When seeing manager Ed Oliver.

Not only was Suri not surprised, but he raised his middle finger towards this guy and said helplessly:

"I have always felt that there should be some sense of social boundaries between people. When I was in Los Angeles, I made it clear that I didn't want to see you, but you actually pursued me here?"

There is a kind of person who is described as being like a dog-skin plaster, which is difficult to get rid of.

In Su Rui's eyes, his partner is quite shameless. In order to make more money, he has been stalking him recently.

For example, words such as modesty and euphemism have nothing to do with Manager Ed. He only knows how to hit the snake with a stick.

Secretary Amanda knew this guy’s character very well. She was standing next to him and said to his face:

"Sure enough, you should withdraw your shares and re-establish a music studio, so as not to be used as a cash cow by Ed and harass you, the boss, over and over again. I think it is necessary to apply for a court restraining order first, prohibiting him from appearing within a hundred meters of you. Within, I know the judge on Lanai, and I can get it on the spot, or should I go now?”

After listening to this, manager Ed Oliver continued to say with a playful smile:

"Amanda, you have become beautiful again. If I hadn't met you in advance, I would have thought that you and Suri were a couple. The sales of the "Phoenix" album in North America exceeded 3.3 million, and overseas sales are not bad either. I am here just to It’s just for traveling, I promise not to disturb you.”

In this era when physical albums are stagnant and the market is sluggish.

Sold 3.3 million albums in half a month, which is undoubtedly a treatment that only top singers can have. At least this year, there has not been an album with higher sales than "Phoenix" in the United States.

Even for country singer Taylor Swift, who is at the height of her popularity, her new album has been released for two months, but its total sales are less than two-thirds of "Phoenix", barely exceeding two million copies.

After listening to Manager Ed's flattery, Amanda still didn't feel good about it.

Suri asked further:

"Really? When I saw you recently, I subconsciously had the urge to clench my fists. As long as I hear you urging me to hold a concert again, even if there is only one word, I will kick you off my island."

When it comes to bluegrass music company profits, the vast majority are provided by Suri.

As the majority shareholder, Suri is not necessarily limited to releasing new songs through bluegrass music. He is fully capable of setting aside Ed Oliver and re-establishing a private music studio.

So Manager Ed just turned his back and didn't care at all about the attitudes of Suri and Secretary Amanda.

After all, the "Phoenix" album has brought him millions of dollars in profit dividends. As long as the profits are large enough, being ridiculed is nothing at all.

Making a zipper gesture in front of his mouth, Manager Ed smiled brightly and asked:

"If you don't open that thing, it's okay to release a single album. Your fans can only listen to the new song "Remember Our Summer" from the Internet and through video clips. In addition, you asked me to find someone to compose "Not a "Single Day", I brought the demo song over, it is suitable to be used as the finale song, and a single album can also be released by then."

Singing is a personal interest and Suri treats it as a part-time job.

In his opinion, this part-time job should be easy and comfortable. If it weren't for the conspicuous figure of Ed Oliver, who kept staring behind him and urging him to do something, it would drive him crazy. In fact, Suri didn't dislike going to concerts. , or release a new album.

Look at it from another perspective.

Manager Ed only takes a small share of the physical album and is already able to make a fortune.

Suri not only gets most of the income from the physical album, but also gets income from digital records, mobile ring tones, peripheral copyrights, etc.

We are in the era of ring tones. The income from the ring tones of "Despacito" alone is conservatively estimated to be more than 5 million US dollars. A "Phoenix" album can easily provide Suri with 30 to 40 million US dollars in pocket money. It’s normal to earn millions of dollars from a concert.

Although he was extremely rich, Suri had not completely lost interest in making money, so he replied:

"It's no problem to release a single album. I have found someone to build a recording studio. I want to sing more Chinese songs in the future. When I have time, I will record "Remember Our Summer" and sing it at the finale of the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show. , I think it is very suitable as a ringtone, and girls will like it very much."

"Chinese songs? That's not what you're good at, isn't it? Besides, the number of listeners is relatively small, so it's difficult to sell non-English albums at a high price."

Manager Ed Oliver got a lot of blood and got rid of the situation of facing bankruptcy at any time. His mind has regained some sanity because of this. He even wore a gold Rolex day-date watch on his hand.

The income level of the Chinese music scene is indeed not as good as that of Europe and the United States.

Suri has only released two albums, and his total pre-tax income is more than 100 million US dollars. Not to mention the high price, copyright protection is also relatively good.

Until now.

His first album, released a few years ago, still earns him millions of dollars a year.

The problem is that he has almost exhausted all the English songs that Suri remembered, and it would be difficult to piece together another mini-album.

It seems much easier to make a career in the Chinese music scene. Anyway, I don't want to make a fortune from this part-time job. No matter where I look for fun, it is actually the same.

Suri only replied at this moment:

"I have my own plans, and will focus on film and television dramas in the future. We have known each other for so many years, and we are considered colleagues. I advise you to consider saving some money in advance for your future retirement. You can no longer rely on me to make a fortune."

Secretary Amanda followed closely and reminded:

"Also, don't get married again. Even if a Hollywood beauty like Charlize Theron cries and wants to marry you, you must firmly refuse."

"..."

After hearing this, Manager Ed Oliver nodded seriously, with a look of lingering fear on his face.

Su Rui saw the fun and didn't mind it, but thought the love brain was really scary. She smiled and said:

"I want to make a sitcom. I want to film a middle-aged man who is bullied by his ex-wife and takes his son to live with his brother. The younger brother is always deceived by women, and the older brother is a master of love. In each episode, he encounters different people. woman."

He was referring to "Two and a Half Men."

Although the name is not that good, it impressed Suri deeply. It is not even much worse than "Friends". It has a unique appeal and is full of laughter.

Suri remembered it a year or two ago and searched for it on the Internet, but found nothing and probably got slapped away.

Considering that it is cheaper to shoot a sitcom and it is easier for the audience to follow it, it is obviously suitable for the current Netflix entertainment company and has the opportunity to shoot many seasons.

More importantly, Su Rui wanted to see it himself.

I've been idle a lot lately, lacking a dinner drama...
