Chapter 333: The Grey Sparrow Band
"Could it be that this girl is a trust?" "Unless the variety show interview doesn't want to continue, the program team won't do this kind of thing." Zhao Huayang sighed and said: "Up to now, we have to admit that Ye Zheng is a highly talented creator who already has a top level. And I've also heard rumors that when Guo Meimei took the two people of Phoenix Legend to time and space music, they were not a group. But after Ye Zheng understood the styles of the two of them, he immediately decided to merge them into a group. and wrote the song "On the Moon" on the spot, which had to be shocking. If he writes songs on the spot, he should really have this ability. ”
"Ye Zheng ......" Long Kunnian muttered the name and said slowly: "We didn't know who he was a year ago, but at the Asian Music Festival last year, he helped Baina win several awards, and this name came into our sight." At first, we thought he would sign with Baina, but then we learned that he wrote songs for various music companies, and we thought that he might be trying to get it all sold. Unexpectedly, just a few months later, he and Zhou Ke founded Time and Space Music together. ”
The corners of Zhao Huayang's mouth also showed a wry smile: "Last year, Mai Tian relied on Ye Zheng's songs to build Yang Xudong into a first-line singer, and last year held 20 solo concerts, which can be described as infinitely beautiful." The Arirang group's album sales exceeded one million and won a platinum album. It also brought tens of millions of profits to Blue Dream Records. Peacock Music bought five of Ye Zheng's songs and put them into three albums, and industry insiders can see that the sales of those three albums are basically driven by Ye Zheng's creation. Not to mention Baina, who cooperated with him first, the economic profit brought by the three albums to Baina can reach 50 million, and Qin Ge and Song Qian have been created. It's just that Lin Wanqing's later album did not sell well, but because of this, it shows the value of the album created by Ye Zheng before. ”
After a pause, Zhao Huayang continued: "When Ye Zheng was selling songs, whoever bought his songs would definitely make money. Baina and Maitian bought, three large music companies, only our Shenlong Records did not contact Ye Zheng. Now that I think about it, I should have bought his two albums in the first place, maybe we could have cultivated one or two new stars. Of the three companies, we were the only ones who didn't create new well-known singers last year. ”
"It's nonsense, if we can know the future at any time, then life will definitely be smooth sailing. Long Kunnian said: "At the beginning, Ye Zheng found someone to co-establish a music company, but only Zhou Ke agreed, and eight out of ten people were not optimistic about them. I think the people who rejected Ye Zheng now must regret dying. Some of them are definitely no worse than Zhou Ke, but if they miss such an opportunity, they miss the position of vice chairman and production director of Time and Space Music. And it is the second largest shareholder. He reached out and picked up a piece of paper from the side and handed it to Zhao Huayang, saying: "Last year's music market was profitable, and time and space music accounted for 18% of the market share, and in the second half of the year, it accounted for 29%, and since time and space music and wheat field music reached a cooperation agreement, the data in the past two months has reached 39%.
At the same time, after cooperating with Time and Space Music, Wheat Field Music occupies 19% of the market. Together, their two music companies ate 58 percent of the pie. But we only have 14% of Time and Space Music, Baina only has 10%, and other companies share the remaining 18%. This is a statistic that we have never had. Zhao Huayang looked at the paper in his hand, and Long Kunnian continued with a serious face: "Even though the emergence of time and space music has stimulated people's consumption and expanded the music market by 30% during this period of time, the ratio between us and Baina has directly shrunk to half of the original level, and now it is less than half of the original.
Overall, our income has been cut in half. If this continues, earnings will shrink rapidly, and it won't be long before they go negative. His tone became more and more severe, pointing to Ye Zheng on the TV and saying, "We must take some measures to stop the expansion of time and space music step by step." If this development continues, the entire Chinese music market will be occupied by time and space music and wheat field music! Our Shenlong Records will definitely be crushed! Now, there are already some singers whose contracts have expired who want to change jobs or are changing jobs to time and space music. In the past two months, seven singers of Shenlong Records wanted to jump ship, three were retained by us, and two successfully jumped to time and space music. The remaining two are not wanted by other people's time and space music, and then they returned to Shenlong Records! We feel uncomfortable, but we still have to renew with kind words!"
Long Kunnian took a heavy breath: "In the past ten years, Shenlong Records has never been so aggrieved!" "It is true that some measures must be taken, but it is not easy to do." Zhao Huayang sighed: "The rise of time and space music is because they have this talented creator, who has grown up completely by strength, if you want to regain the market, you still have to launch new good albums, and at the same time create our artists through publicity and other means, and it is best to create one or two new stars." ”
"What's the name of the program that China Television Variety Channel is going to launch recently?" asked Long Kunnian. "The chief planner of "I Am a Singer" is Ye Zheng. Zhao Huayang said: "Inviting a singer who has become famous to compete on the same stage, I really don't know how he came up with such a bold and novel idea." Many people suspect that such a show is not good for singers, but I have a hunch that this show will definitely become popular, so Liu Nan and Zou Minmin from our company went to participate. Time and Space Music sent two singers to participate, which shows that Ye Zheng has strong confidence in this show. So let's send two people too, don't let such an opportunity go in vain. Ye Zheng's ability to create stars should not be underestimated, maybe he will create Liu Nan and Zou Minmin. ”
"Well, that's good. Long Kunnian nodded: "Pay attention to this matter, fully cooperate with Liu Nan and Zou Minmin's competition, let them achieve good results, and as long as they achieve good results, we will take the opportunity to hype." ”
The crew of "I Am a Singer" went to invite singers, but encountered all kinds of resistance, and many people were not optimistic about such a show. Long Kunnian and Zhao Huayang were keenly aware of the advantages of this show, and immediately asked their singers Liu Nan and Zou Minmin to sign "I Am a Singer".
Zhao Huayang suddenly remembered something again, and said: "I saw Qiu Feng a few days ago, and the situation in the Gale Music Studio during this period was miserable. They used to have a market share of about 7 percent, but now they have less than 3 percent. is not only because of the snatching of time and space music, but also after some conflicts between him and time and space music last year, which led to the loss of a group of fans. Qiu Feng poured bitter water after seeing me, and secretly accused time and space music of disrupting the market order, and said that Ye Zheng did not respect his predecessors. ”
Long Kunnian sneered: "Who doesn't know that it's him, Qiu Feng doesn't know how to hit the muzzle." He wanted to suppress Ye Zheng, but he didn't expect to become Ye Zheng's stepping stone. He ran over to find him by himself, and could he blame someone for kicking him down?" Zhao Huayang also nodded with a smile, and then said: "However, Qiu Feng showed me a meaning, he wants to cooperate with Shenlong Records." "What is there to cooperate?" Long Kunnian said: "We have dealt with him for so many years, and we have cooperated wherever we can cooperate, what else can we cooperate? Is it possible that the two companies will merge together?"
"That's what you said, that's what he meant. Long Kunnian was stunned for a moment, and sneered: "Qiu Feng's brain is in water, right? Even if he is willing to put his heart and soul into it, does he really think that with his Gale Music Studio and the Ziyue Record under his umbrella, he will talk about a company merger with us? Is he qualified enough?" Zhao Huayang said: "Of course Qiu Feng knows that they are not qualified, so what he means is that if Shenlong can offer a good price, or take out a certain share, Gale Music Studio can sell it to Shenlong Records." ”
"This ......" Long Kunnian frowned, thought for a moment, and said, "Is that really what he said?" "That's what he said." Zhao Huayang nodded: "I almost forgot about it, but at this time, I suddenly felt that this was really a good idea." If space-time music continues to develop like this, no one can stop its rise, what we can do is to launch good works and good singers, try to grab back some market share, and then stabilize the share ratio. But in terms of the current situation, we can sing when we see it, and it won't affect me. So just when Ye Zheng was immersed in creation, Phoenix Legend watched the song score for a few minutes, and was already standing on the stage and singing this song. This song was sung by the Phoenix Legend, but it has a different charm from the original song, Zhong Wei's voice is deep, and Siqin Linghua's voice is loud.
makes this song less sad and brighter. And some of Siqin Linghua's impromptu national singing voices add a bit of special charm to it. After singing the song, when people were still immersed in the beautiful sound of the Phoenix Legend, Ye Zheng had already handed the paper in his hand to Su Momo: "Momo, you come to sing this song "I Wish You Peace", on behalf of time and space music, I will send you a blessing." A moment later, Su Momo's gentle and soft voice fluttered in the studio, floating in thousands of households and streets through the Internet and TV.
