Chapter 162: The Story of the Flower Planter

If you have money, you don't make money, you are not a good man.

Zheng Qian readily agreed.

Compared with China, Neon Country obviously respects intellectual copyright, such as writers, cartoonists or composers, all of whom have a certain status in society and are sought after.

Because of the mature institutional environment, copyright owners also make a lot of money, which is the top treatment in the whole of Asia, and it is also the market that many popular artists in South Korea want to capture.

After all, it is the second largest music market in the world.

When thinking of Japanese singers, Zheng Qian's memory is only familiar with Yonezu Genshi, Ayumi Hamasaki, Mika Nakajima, and Kana Hanazawa, which are singers with high exposure on the Internet.

Because what he is familiar with is nothing more than episodes of well-known anime such as "One Piece" and "A Scientific Super Electromagnetic Cannon", the former is famous all over the world and popular all over the world, and the latter is known through the Bilibili video website.

Animation is considered to be the pillar industry of neon's culture.

In fact, the solo singers of this book have gradually declined since the end of the last century, and now, it is the turn of idol groups to become popular, and a unique support culture has also been formed.

It is difficult for ordinary solo singers to develop, even singers like Genshi Yonezu who have more than 100 million views of their works on YouTube, and it is difficult to compare with those idol groups when their albums are released, and it is common for them to rank in the top ten in sales.

For example, the 48 series, etc., these cultivated idol groups have an unimaginable number of dead house fans, and they will do their best to support the various businesses of female idols.

However, once they gain a firm foothold, the personal income and social status of Solo singers can also crush these managed idol groups, which can only be said to have their own advantages and disadvantages.

Zheng Qian has not yet understood the domestic market, and has just encircled his own one-third of an acre, and most of the country has not yet been defeated, so it stands to reason that he should not be angry about the market.

But he is not an ordinary person, and there is no phenomenon of exhaustion of thinking for the time being.

In addition, if you take the initiative to find the opportunity, you should naturally seize it.

Therefore, in the next two days, Zheng Qian kept in communication with Hayakawa Naichi while preparing for the release of the new album.

Soon, he wrote two demos, and then called Hayakawa to listen to it.

At Universal Records, a white dress and a double ponytail appeared at the recording engineer of Universal Records.

Her glasses had been removed and she had been replaced with contact lenses, which made her eyes look very bright.

Hayakawa Cai's expression was a little surprised, and his mouth opened slightly: "It's too fast, Mr. Zheng, are you serious?"

"Well, one is called "No Big Deal", and the other is called "Planet", you can listen to it, tell me which one you like. ”

Zheng Qian sat in a high chair, picked up the guitar, and gently plucked the strings.

"It's No Big Deal" is the theme song of the animated movie "Your Name", and the overall musicality is very light, and it has achieved good results with the movie as soon as it was released in the previous life.

Zheng Qian cleared his throat and sang directly: "乌éŪ間通り過ぎたéĒĻãŊ (The wind passes by us)......"

Zheng Qian's singing voice was clear and clear at this moment, like a clear spring, quietly flowing into the heart of Hayakawa Cai.

Hayakawa subconsciously helped the frame of his glasses, but he was lonely.

There was amazement in her eyes.

Zheng Qian's Japanese actually sounds like a foreigner accent to the locals, but when Zheng Qian sings, the words are so clear that Hayakawa Cuisine is startled, as if he has seen the predecessors of the music world.

Of course, in the end, she was attracted to the singing.

After Zheng Qian finished singing a short paragraph, he picked up the guitar and played the chorus slightly.

So Hayakawa Cai picked a touch of excitement on his face: "Mr. Zheng, give it to me, I want ......"

Zheng Qian coughed: "Don't be impatient, Miss Hayakawa, there is also a song "Planet"! Yes, it means planet. ”

Speaking of this song, Zheng Qian himself also likes it very much, although it was barely a small hit in Japan after it was released in 2006 in his previous life, but for various reasons, he only struggled a few times in the music world, and finally disappeared from everyone, and then the original band was disbanded on the spot because it could not survive.

I never thought that ten years later, it would become popular in China through short video applications.

However, this is a narrative song, coupled with Zheng Qian's imitation of the neon man's singing voice, Hayakawa Na Zhizhi frowned.

Compared with the beauty revealed in "It's No Big Deal" and the poetry in the lyrics, the frustration revealed by the lyrics of this "PLanet" really makes Hayakawa Nai a little unacceptable.

In today's low-desire society, such songs are obviously not very popular.

Whether it is in the melody or the lyrics, "It's No Big Deal" almost crushes "Planet", Hayakawa didn't think about it, and said directly: "I want "It's No Big Deal", is that okay?"

"Absolutely. ”

Zheng Qian put down his guitar and sighed.

likes to like, but I have to admit that when it comes to refinement, the lyrics in "It's No Big Deal" are exquisite, absolutely crushing "Planet", and it's no wonder that Hayakawa chose the former.

So, on the same day, Zheng Qian wrote the lyrics and songs and handed them over to Hayakawa Cai.

As for the idea of chorus, Zheng Qian politely refused, not that he didn't want to, but he didn't have time for the time being, and the next period of time was the beginning of busyness.

And Junji Ito, after understanding the value of "It's No Big Deal", finally gave a price of 500,000 yuan, in the words of one of their company's songwriters, this "No Big Deal" lyrics alone are worth 500,000, not to mention, the tune of this song is also excellent.

plus 300,000 "Moon Half Serenade", this time Zheng Qian received a total of 800,000,

Before parting, Junji Ito said: "Zheng Jun, if you want to break into the market, you can contact me at any time, music has no borders, in this book, as long as you have a steady stream of talent, you can continue to succeed." ”

Hayakawa Caijie seems to be a little reluctant, although it is only a short time together, but a certain quality in Zheng Qian gradually attracts her, not the love between men and women, but the kind of heart that wants to follow, because when Zheng Qian is around, the mind can always get a moment of peace.

Seeing off the Japanese female singer, Zheng Qian discussed the birthday banquet with Wan Feng again.

Universal Music has many diva-level singers, such as Sun Xueyao, a Singaporean diva who participated in "Chinese Idol" before, joined Universal Music at the beginning of this year with a sky-high signing fee of 50 million, which caused a sensation at the time.

In addition, Li Wen, the judge of the last "Medieval Idol", is also an artist under Universal.

and Hong Kong singer Tam Ching Tam, who is also a contracted singer of Universal Music.

And these people, according to Wan Feng, will come to Zheng Qian's banquet next Monday, that is, Zheng Qian's first day of banquet, and give Zheng Qian enough face.

In addition to the artists of Universal, Andy has also finalized the itinerary and will come at that time, and the three hosts of the Hong Kong TVB variety show "Super Boss" were also invited by Wan Feng to attend.

This made Zheng Qian a little surprised.

"Your popularity is still very good. ”

Wan Feng saw Zheng Qian's face full of surprise, so he smiled and said: "You went to "Super Boss" once, and the response was good at the time, and the ratings were quite high, and now you have a new album, Zeng Liwei said, arrange a special show for you "Super Boss", you have to take a good rest of this former farewell, you know, Zeng Liwei has a wide range of connections, and Hong Kong is almost unparalleled. ”

Zheng Qian thought of Zeng Liwei, this entertainment industry boss who was like selling his daughter when he met, although he looked honest and honest, but he was able to have today's status because of his excellent relationship, the chaos in Hong Kong in the last century is almost obvious to all, and there are few artists who can fight their way out of the encirclement and be unscathed from that period of darkness.

Thinking of the presence of so many bigwigs, Zheng Qian was really full of expectations for the birthday party.

But before that, he has to return to Shonan to record a new episode of the "Chinese Idol" program.

Since the broadcast of the last program, the ratings of "Chinese Idol" have continued to occupy the highest level, and they are still proud of the rivers and lakes under the siege of various David TVs, including CCTV, and they have reached a super high rating of 13%, and the most terrifying thing is that the ratings of the rebroadcast program are also approaching 10%, which was absolutely unimaginable before.

And the picture of Stephen and a group of gringos appearing in the camera and frantically shouting for Zheng Qian also spread all over the country through the lens of the photographer.

directly made the director of Shonan TV happily close his mouth, and in the face of the interview, bluntly said that "Chinese Idol" is a program that has attracted international attention, and has successfully achieved cultural export, etc., which has triggered a lot of discussion among netizens.

In addition, Zheng Qian's song "Faith" was also sung by the hearts of the national audience.

The day after the show aired, as ever, the wave of "Faith" swept across the country and became one of the most popular songs of the moment.

And the rarest thing is that this song seems to have the potential to kill all ages.

It's not like "Nocturne", although it is very popular, it is difficult to get the likes of the elders, and the word-of-mouth is polarized.

But "Faith" is different, the infatuation in the song makes dozens of years old uncles and aunts cry, and young people are deeply moved.

Zheng Qian's voice has its own tear-jerking stunt, and when I watched TV, my grandparents had tears in their eyes. ”

"My second uncle too, he cried and told my aunt that in this life, I am most afraid of suddenly understanding a certain song......"

"It's too exaggerated, isn't it?

"Oh I love you, how well and so well faith-"

"Zheng Qian is really a new generation of love song princes! As soon as "Faith" comes out, who will compete?

"It's so good, my eyes are involuntarily tearful, maybe it's been too long and too long to hear such a lyrical song. ”

"It's still good to listen to "Faith", but I can't listen to the previous "Love Before the AD......"

"But it's really so good that people suspect that it's a fake singing......"

"I just want to whisper, what has this brother Zheng Qian experienced?"

"Do people really like the same person over and over again?"

"My eyes are swollen from crying as I listen to this song! I just got the news that my long-distance girlfriend is pregnant......"

"If you don't break up once, I really can't understand this song! This song is so real! Fucking every sentence pierces my heart! It hurts me to death!"

"I couldn't help but sing this song on the bus today, and the whole car sang together, which was so scary!"

In the past few days, netizens all over the country have been listening to "Faith" and discussing the new prince of love songs, Zheng Qian.

This made the Communist Youth League, which had just announced its spokesperson and endorsed songs, very faceless, and the relevant news sank directly into the sea.

"Proud Boy" has just been popular for a month, and now there are signs of sinking into the sea, which makes the heads of the Communist Youth League dumbfounded.

Why did this endorsement song that I just signed suddenly become outdated?

At first, "Proud Boy" topped the popularity charts of major music networks.

As a result, every time an episode of "Chinese Idol" is released, the song "Proud Boy" will quickly be squeezed out of the next ranking by Zheng Qian's new song.

I hit myself myself?

Up to now, although "Proud Boy" is still in the top ten of major music networks, it is foreseeable that with the release of more and more new songs by Zheng Qian, this "Proud Boy" will definitely be completely lost to everyone.

So the Komsomol racked its brains to maintain the popularity of the song.

Then in a meeting discussion, someone said: "Why don't we communicate with CCTV, make a public welfare short film, and put this "Proud Boy" in the short film?"

As soon as this sentence came out, it was like an enlightenment, and the leaders of the Communist Youth League had an idea.

When the meeting continued to discuss the details, soon, the relevant plan was produced, the Communist Youth League got in touch with CCTV, and after several discussions, finally agreed to the launch of the public welfare short film, but it must be reviewed by CCTV before it is launched, and it is allowed to be played only after the review is passed.

As for what kind of public welfare short films?

They thought of what Zheng Qian said in the program: "I hope that Chinese young people will get rid of the cold air, just go up, and don't have to listen to the ...... of self-abandonment."

"If there is no torch after that, I am the only light!"

So I wanted to use this sentence as the theme word to shoot a public welfare short film to promote the spirit of patriotism.

For this reason, he also specially communicated with Zheng Qian.

When Zheng Qian heard that the Communist Youth League was going to make a public welfare short film, he also raised his hands to support it.

But when it comes to promoting culture and promoting patriotism, Zheng Qian also suddenly thought of "Those Things About the Rabbit That Year".

This kind of animated short film about the "rise of the flower planter" is obviously easier for teenagers to substitute emotions and then understand the profundity of the country's history.

But Zheng Qian didn't say this idea.

One is that it can't be said clearly on the phone, and the other is that this thing is not achieved overnight, and it can't catch up with this public welfare short film, it needs time to develop.

Zheng Qian himself doesn't know how to draw comics, but he has an idea, and he still remembers the emotion when he watched the first season of "What Happened to the Rabbit That Year", looking at the roads and things that those martyrs walked, which made Zheng Qian, a thirty-year-old boy, cry.

That feeling is precipitated in the bottom of my heart and will never fade.

So Zheng Qian contacted Ren Xin and asked Ren Xin to pay attention to some excellent comic artists on the market.

His idea is very simple, through oral narration, to make "Those Things About the Rabbit That Year", first make comics, and then when the time is ripe, he will make animation, so that more pillars of the country can understand the ancestors who sacrificed heroically for this country in the dust of history through animation.

Contribute to the country's basic education.

There are some things that are not said in the history books, but we must not forget.

At the same time, Zheng Qian had already flown to Shonan and began rehearsals.

The audience across the country is now waiting to be fed.

Most fans are following Zheng Qian's itinerary through various gossip, wanting to get a glimpse of the patriarch Ma's family from the report, trying to understand the songs that Zheng Qian sang during rehearsals......

But the show is highly secrecy, like a seamless egg.

It is precisely under this fervent hope that people wait tormentedly.

Finally, Friday is here again!

It was also at this time that cracks appeared in the eggs, and some insiders did not resist the temptation of money, exposing the news about Zheng Qian's repertoire during rehearsals.

The man only said one sentence: "I have never heard such a song that shocked me, although it was a rehearsal, many people listened to it, and their eyes were swollen with tears......"
