Chapter 40: Re-emergence
Although it was not explicitly stated, everyone could see that the press conference of Qijia Studio was actually a public denunciation of AMG. After the report of the press conference came out, many media wanted to interview AMG's personnel and wanted to know their views on Gong Chen's termination of the contract and his remarks at the press conference.www.biquge.info However, several senior AMG officials declined the reporter's request for an interview, saying that the company was preparing to hold a meeting to discuss the matter, and it was not convenient to express their views for the time being. Reporters speculated that AMG was caught off guard by Qi Jia's press conference, and it didn't have time to react yet. Once they come to their senses, they will definitely launch a counterattack against Qijia Studio.
A few days later, the lively reporters who were waiting to see AMG and Qijia Studio tear each other apart waited for an apology from AMG on its official website and official Weibo. In the statement, they very simply admitted that the photos that caused the scandal between Xiao Yao and Gong Chen were inadvertently revealed by an employee during their company's promotional preparations for the release of Gong Chen's new single. He apologized for the impact caused by the two parties involved in the scandal, Xiao Yao and Gong Chen, and condemned the unscrupulous gossip media that fabricated the scandal based on a few photos. They expressed their regret for Gong Chen's departure, and at the same time, in order to express their apologies to the two parties involved in the scandal, they were willing to return the commercial copyrights of the two songs to Xiao Yao, and Qi Jia Studio would distribute them for Gong Chen.
"AMG actually coaxed?!"
AMG's statement undoubtedly shocked many people. In the eyes of ordinary people, although Qi Jia Studio has had a good development momentum in the past two years, and there is such a demon as Xiao Yao, it is only a small studio after all. AMG, a behemoth, was slapped in the face in public by a small studio, and instead of rolling up his sleeves and working with the other party, he simply took responsibility and showed favor to return the copyrights of the two songs?
Of course, this is also because the commercial director of a big record company has far more network resources and news channels in the entertainment industry than any reporter from any gossip media can match, not to mention that there is no one like him who has a competitor who is also a director, and he needs to painstakingly collect and sort out information to suppress it.
Qi Jia's press conference has made a comprehensive and clear clarification of the scandal, and after AMG expressed its attitude, this scandal incident has lost its follow-up topicality, which can be regarded as an official end. This incident did hype up Gong Chen's popularity a lot, but it turned out to fry Gong Chen to others, and also put in the copyright fees of two songs and a series of preparations for the release and publicity.
The scandal came to an end, and after accepting the copyright of the two songs that AMG seemed to return back, Qijia Studio also began to prepare for the release and promotion of Gong Chen's new single. Although Gong Chen has changed from someone else's singer to his own singer, Xiao Yao's attitude towards Gong Chen's new single promotion work has not changed, and he still only names him, and he does not attend any promotional activities.
A week later, Gong Chen's new single, which has gone through twists and turns, finally officially met with fans. Due to several mentions in the scandal incident, this single has long aroused the interest of many people, and many people have long known that Gong Chen's single contains two new songs specially composed by Xiao Yao for Gong Chen. So the sales in the early stage after the release of the single were very good.
One "Who Says Who" and one "Nonsense", just looking at the names of these two songs already makes people feel very funny. Although the two songs have similar names and strong electronic music soundtracks, they are not the same in style.
"Who Says" basically continues the style of the original "faded" in the show, with an ethereal and somewhat desolate and decadent atmosphere, and even the most obvious piece of electronic music in the soundtrack sounds somewhat similar to the electronic music in "faded". It can be regarded as satisfying those fans who have expectations for Gong Chen because they especially like Gong Chen's performance of "faded" in the show.
Although "Nonsense" also has a large proportion of electronic soundtracks, the whole song has a more rock-oriented feeling, which can be regarded as showing another side that Gong Chen has never shown in the show, and also helping Gong Chen attract some fans who prefer rock and roll.
The quality of these two songs with different styles is good, but many hardcore fans of Gong Chen are not satisfied. After listening to Gong Chen's new single, they suddenly remembered a question, "What about Gong Chen's two champion songs in the show?" Many of them knew and liked Gong Chen through those two songs, but they were all eagerly waiting for the official studio versions of "I Can Only Accompany You Here" and "faded".
After participating in the electronic music program, Gong Chen, who became famous, also opened a personal Weibo with real-name authentication. Looking at the messages of countless fans on Weibo asking about the recording and distribution of the official studio versions of the two songs in the show, Gong Chen also truthfully answered the fans' questions about the ownership of the two songs on Weibo after asking Xiao Yao.
""I Can Only Accompany You Here" was written by Xiao Yao to Chen Chen, and "Fad" is Xiao Yao's own. Neither of these songs will be on my singles, EP, or album. They are the songs in Chen Chen and Xiao Yao's own albums in the future, because they don't have a specific album plan for the time being, so the studio version of these two songs is estimated to be a long time before they can meet you, during this period, everyone will listen to the live version first. Thank you all for your support. ”
Gong Chen's answer was peaceful, without the slightest dissatisfaction with Xiao Yao or the studio's arrangement, but it caused a lot of dissatisfaction among Gong Chen's fans.
""I can only accompany you here" is a choral song, and it makes sense for anyone. But why did "faded" be put on Xiao Yao's album? He didn't sing this song, how could he put it on his album? Does he want to release a producer collection? He is a singer himself, and if he wants to release an album that he sings. ”
"The song "I Can Only Accompany You Here" is obviously Gong Chen's singing, which is more brilliant than Chen Chen's rap, okay, why not put it in Gong Chen's album?"
"Because Xiao Yao and Chen Chen have a good relationship. Xiao Yao has known Chen Chen for a long time, and he is still a dance team, I heard that Chen Chen also taught Xiao Yao to dance, of course Xiao Yao is different to Chen Chen. Not to mention Gong Chen, Fan Linxuan and Chen Chen's "There is a Warmth Called Sisters" is obviously a song that sings about the feelings between girls, Xiao Yao was not released in Chen Chen's single. ”
Speaking of Fan Linxuan, after Fan Linxuan signed a contract with Qi Jia Studio, she released the album directly, not to mention the whole ten songs, Xiao Yao also wrote her a song that was not included in the album and was simply posted on the Internet for fun "Song of the Pig". Gong Chen's singles of only two songs are far worse than Fan Linxuan's treatment. ”
"I heard that Fan Linxuan was going to sign a contract with Oasis Records after participating in "The Voice", but Xiao Siqi snatched it from Oasis. Gong Chen, he must have taken the initiative to come to the door after terminating the contract with AMG, can this treatment be the same? You must know that Qi Jia Studio is not the only creator Xiao Yao. In Fan Linxuan's album, in addition to Xiao Yao, Xiao Siqi and Shen Yinan also wrote songs for her, and a few songs were bought from other creators. If Gong Chen had promised Xiao Siqi to jump ship when he was still participating in that electronic music show, maybe it would be an album now, not a single. ”
"It seems that Gong Chen left AMG and went to Qijia Studio, which was not a very wise decision. Although it is indeed very annoying for AMG to fire her and Xiao Yao's scandal without authorization, they also did it to help her become famous. You must know that the two songs in this single were originally bought by AMG from Xiao Yao to help her release, and now when they go to Qi Jia Studio, they are still these two songs. In terms of distribution and publicity ability, AMG is only higher than Qijia Studio, right?
In addition to leaving messages on Gong Chen's Weibo, some fans also deliberately went to Xiao Yao's Weibo and Tieba to post comments and posts to express their dissatisfaction with Xiao Yao. After experiencing the last scandal, Fang, who felt that he was a little derelict in his duties, continued to help Xiao Yao do anything, and he never relaxed his attention to the news and comments about Xiao Yao on the Internet. Therefore, Xiao Yao soon learned through Fang that Gong Chen's fans were dissatisfied with him and Qi Jia's studio's treatment of Gong Chen.
"Dad, do you think we should do something for Gong Chen?" Xiao Yao went to the studio to find Xiao Siqi and said, "People signed with our studio, why do you have to express it?" That single was originally planned by AMG to help her, and just releasing a single doesn't seem to be enough to show our sincerity. ”
"You mean the comments posted by those Gong Chen fans on the Internet, right?" Xiao Siqi said with a smile, "When did you care about the comments of fans, or the comments of other people's fans?"
"I don't care, I just think her fans have a certain point. Xiao Yao said with a smile.
"Okay then," Xiao Siqi nodded with a smile, looked at Xiao Yao and said, "Her fans are angry because you didn't give her the two songs in the show, and because we only gave her singles, and the treatment is not as good as Fan Linxuan." You're not going to change your mind the first one, so why don't you give her an album?"
"Me?" Xiao Yao glared and pointed to his nose, "Why me?" and I didn't say I was going to sign her in, but you wanted to poach her in the first place. You can't give me one person, can you?"
"There's no way," Xiao Siqi shrugged his shoulders and said, "Shen Lao and I haven't had any works suitable for her recently, let alone buying them from outside." Everyone thinks that the songs you wrote are more suitable for her, otherwise why didn't AMG give Gong Chen a single after she participated in the show, and had to wait until you finished the art exam to buy songs from you? Although Gong Chen didn't say it explicitly, it can be seen that she herself also recognizes the songs you wrote for her the most, so she has to work hard for you. ”
"One or two songs are okay, but how can I write the whole album for a while?" Xiao Yao frowned, "And she just released a single, we can't release another single in such a short time, right?"
Xiao Yao was depressed, and he was also bored with the preparation of the MV recently, so he used this as an excuse to come to his father to tease him, but he didn't expect to get around himself.
"It's the same..."Xiao Siqi nodded.
Suddenly catching a glimpse of a document on the corner of the table, Xiao Siqi picked it up and handed it to Xiao Yao and said, "This is a good opportunity." ”
"What?" Xiao Yao stretched out his hand to take it, but found that it was a script, and looked at Xiao Siqi suspiciously, "Do you want Gong Chen to act?
"It's not acting, it's singing. Xiao Siqi said, "This is a costume martial arts drama jointly produced by Shonan Satellite TV and Yajie Entertainment, and it will be filmed and entered post-production soon, but the songs in the play have not been decided, and they are still being solicited." I'm not very good at writing songs specifically for film and television works, and I didn't plan for you to fight for it, but since you mentioned Gong Chen's matter, you might as well write a song suitable for Gong Chen to sing and take it out and try it. Cheng Xi plays the female number one in this drama, and the songs in our studio are also a bit advantageous. Singing the TV series OST is a very good way for Gong Chen to promote, our studio's film and television resources have an advantage over AMG, if it does, her fans shouldn't say anything, right?"
"Okay," thinking about what Xiao Siqi said did make sense, and Xiao Yao, who was also a martial arts fan himself, also remembered many classic songs of martial arts dramas in his previous life, so he nodded and said, "I'll take the script back first." ”
"Okay, I'll wait for your news!" Xiao Siqi said with a smile on the corner of his mouth.
"It's time for XY to come out again!" Xiao Yao, who was holding the script and walking out, shook his arms and shouted violently.
"Wait, what do you mean?" Xiao Siqi shouted at Xiao Yao's back in surprise, "Why did you get involved with XY again?" I thought you wouldn't use that name anymore. ”
"Why not?" Xiao Yao looked back at Xiao Siqi and said, "XY's has a good reputation in the pure music of film and television songs and film and television soundtracks, and using XY's name can better ensure that the songs will be selected by the producer." Besides, Gong Chen's fans don't just have opinions about me, let's pull out the mysterious person XY who has disappeared for a few years to write songs for Gong Chen, they should have nothing to say to our studio. ”
