"I think you're just! Why are you looking for so many excuses! Your little spike Mina, I've been friends with you for five or six years, and now I'm only in my 20s like you, and I'm starting to like the new and hate the old?

In the studio of TVB TV, with an episode of the talent show being recorded, it entered the intermission. Han Ting, who was in the stands, couldn't help but find a cold opportunity and scolded Gu Biao.

It has been a week since Gu Biao returned to Xiangjiang this time, and the specific action he is currently busy with is to plan the talent competition of his record company and Tiankun Music, and by the way, he will release the first wave of records for the newcomers.

"Don't wronged me, I'm just doing a line of love, even if it's a cover business, I have to do it, do it well, and make it creative, so that the layman believes that you are really careful-

The Xiaomin people I want to hold now, their singing skills are still good, but it is impossible to conquer the audience with their voices alone, how can you expect their beauty and personality to exert their power, so that they can be really popular. This requires packaging the legitimacy of her debut, so that the audience can completely believe that she is very grassroots, without any backstage nepotism, and climbs up purely. ”

In the face of Han Ting's questioning, Gu Biao excused himself. Although Han Ting was a little unwilling, she still accepted these sets of sets of heads.

It is also important to cover and launder the nature of the business.

Therefore, the organizer and the prize funder of this talent show are all Tiankun Music. It's just that Tiankun doesn't have its own TV station, so it rents TVB's program time slot to do it.

Relying on the prestige accumulated in the circle at the beginning of the year in the planning projects of Ta Gu Ling and Sha Tau Kok, Sir Shao did not dare not take advantage of the channel, even if he knew that it was possible to cultivate potential competitors.

Besides, in 85 years, Xiangjiang's TV station circle is not a monopoly, wireless does not broadcast and ATV, and there are Li, but the ratings are not as high as wireless. Sir Shao and Fang Yihua are not easy to push out of business, but offend people.

The Shaw Brothers can only comfort themselves with the rhetoric of "Gu Biao's Tiankun Music Company, which focuses on supporting singers and selling records in the future, and has little impact on the film and television industry", and it will pass with one eye closed.

In the 85-year Xiangjiang entertainment industry, the development of film and television songs is still very rare. The record company is just stealing the business of the record company, and no one thinks that they have the ability to gradually threaten the film and television company across the circle.

The Shaw Brothers were not wary of Gu Biao's roundabout development, and it was not surprising that they felt that there was no need to fight evil.

Gu Biao chatted with Han Ting for a while, the halftime of the draft competition had ended, and the show had gradually entered the Gao Dynasty link, and Zhou Huimin, who had been scheduled by Gu Biao, also began to take the stage and show his singing voice.

I have to say that the effect of the packaging is really in place, Zhou Huimin's singing voice was originally just tender and clear, not to mention the texture, but with the cold stage lighting and cool appearance, on this summer night in July, it brought a huge visual impact to the audience.

Even the audience in the stands of the studio shook the luminous props from the bottom of their hearts. Everyone didn't shout, but whispered to the tune, but everyone's voices were still very resonant when they came together.

Han Ting was slightly moved, and said coldly with her mouth basically unchanged: "This is the so-called 'pure jade girl' route that you 'invented', right? ”

If you want to sell people, the idol makers in the entertainment industry in later generations must be much more black-hearted than Gu Biao.

Gu Biao just relied on the common sense of ordinary people and slightly dialed the planners under Yang Shoucheng to say two sentences, and the rest were played by the people below.

However, there are not many things that have a flash of inspiration, and sometimes a small idea that is out of the times can have a very powerful effect if you play it well.

In the 85-year industry atmosphere, whether it is film and television actors or singers, brokerage companies mainly focus on their professional skills when packaging and publicity, and rarely track their life and debut background.

This is also very understandable, because in the era of Shaw Brothers' dominance of the world, Shaw Brothers originally did not want the audience to remember or pursue specific stars, what they hoped was that "whoever the company praises is popular, and whoever the company makes popular is popular", so that the star has no capital to coerce Shaw Brothers to jump ship.

You just need to show the side of your work, as for what kind of habits and character you have in life, you go to promote it with the paparazzi and lace weekly, and the company does not give resources. If you advertise yourself and don't match the company's caliber, the company can also punish you.

The entertainment businessmen who really show the life and character of the artist in an all-round way are those entertainment businessmen who played the role of rookies who rebelled against the Shaw Brothers. After all, they have few resources, and they can't do who is popular, so they can only hope that no matter how many cards they have in their hands, it is best to make each one as red as possible.

For them, the contradiction between the employer and the artist is far less serious than the contradiction between the investor and the competition for the external market, and the former must give way.

However, because of the overall recession of the Xiangjiang music scene in the past few years, this kind of publicity has not had time to develop and summarize to the height of "packaging pure jade women" - who let the first generation in history play "pure jade women" in the Xiangjiang entertainment circle, it will have to wait for Zhou Huimin's wave.

Gu Biao just took advantage of the trend, and it was slightly advanced by two years: according to the original development trajectory, Zhou Huimin actually went to the radio station as a DJ for a year or two after winning the 85 draft, and then began to be packaged as a singer around 87 and released records the following year.

Now that Gu Biao has a lot of resources at hand, Tiankun Music has been working two years earlier than Yang Shoucheng's YH record in another time and space, and the people under his command are in place in one step.

In the face of Han Ting's questioning, Gu Biao did not deny this, but he also emphasized that he was distracted, and if he wanted to become popular, he didn't just rely on the trick of selling people to eat all over the world.

"Although it is disgraceful to sell people, it is not popular to sell people without dry goods, and I have put in a lot more effort than you think. Taking advantage of the end of the song, Gu Biao explained.

"What else did you do?" asked Han Ting casually.

"Don't you think this song is good?" Gu Biao asked confidently.

Han Ting reminisced for a while, and had to admit: "It's really beautiful, so, your so-called off-the-field work is to find some talented songwriters to serve the singers you want to praise, and write songs specifically for them?"

Gu Biao admitted smugly: "I did spend a certain amount of resources and hired a few lyric writers with some ability. However, I pay more attention to discovering newcomers in the draft and letting them write cover lyrics.

For example, a seedling who was just dug up a while ago and was about to participate in the men's draft was named Li Keqin, and his level was good, and the words of Zhou Huimin's song today were filled in by me in the alternative group. ”

Historically, Li Keqin made his debut in the 85 Xiangjiang Eighteen District Singing Contest, and the number of roads is the same as Zhang Xueyou. Gu Biao has opened a new event, and it is normal to attract people.

"Where did that song come from?" asked Han Ting curiously.

Gu Biao smiled proudly: "Of course, the song came from me - this is about to say that I am going to make my company dominate the Xiangjiang music scene in the next few years." What do you think I've been doing in the week I've been back home?

I was not idle, I made a friendship with Teresa Teng a few years ago, asked her to be a middleman, asked Aunt Mei Xue to have coffee, and invited her brokerage company and copyright operator. For 100 million yen, she bought out the Chinese cover rights of all her songs.

A few years ago, this matter was in the embryonic state, and whoever caught it would turn it over, and the law of Xiangjiang was not strict about the cover of foreign songs, and the copyright protection was not strict - after all, at that time, the paid music industry in Xiangjiang was only such a scale, and foreigners were too lazy to defend their rights across borders, which was not enough for lawyers.

However, from today onwards, I bought it out, and in the future, no one will be able to legally cover the land of Xiangjiang - of course, unless they have to ask me to buy and sublicense at a high price, and then complain that I 'do not use the license sufficiently, maliciously do not use the license, and may reduce the influence and interests of the original creator', then I may be reluctant to collect some high prices and release a few songs. Otherwise, don't think about other Xiangjiang companies in the future. ”

85 years ago, the Hong Kong music industry's charging standards for reusing foreign tunes and re-arranging songs were roughly as follows: if you test the waters of a song or a film, it is not popular, and it hits the street, then it will be as if nothing happened, and no money will be given to the original songwriter.

If you are a little red after testing the waters, then you will come to the door, give a cover license fee of hundreds of thousands to hundreds of thousands of yen for a song, and posthumously admit it to get the authorization - and I basically admit it, and it will not be much trouble, after all, the cost of litigation is high.

According to the exchange rate before the appreciation of the yen, 100,000 yen is only two or three thousand Hong Kong dollars, and the maximum for a song is not more than 10,000 Hong Kong dollars.

Han Ting doesn't know the historical market, so at first glance, she doesn't know whether it is expensive or cheap for Gu Biao to say "100 million yen to buy out the Chinese cover authorization of all the songs that Miyuki Nakajima has released so far, and give priority to get the authorization of the songs she has not written in her life in the future according to the fixed share ratio".

Han Ting calculated it in her heart, and it was only 500,000 US dollars, or 3 million Hong Kong dollars, which didn't seem to be much.

However, after she humbly asked Gu Biao to eliminate illiteracy, she felt that it was expensive.

"A song only sells for a few thousand to 10,000 Hong Kong dollars? Then if you buy it out for 100 million yen at one time, doesn't it mean that you have to cover at least 200 songs to recoup your capital? You are letting Yue himself take advantage! No wonder people sell it so happily" Han Ting couldn't help but burst with patriotic feelings, dissatisfied with Gu Biao for letting him make money.

Gu Biao was very sure that this account was not calculated like this, after it became popular, the price would have risen." They allowed me to buy out, and they also fancied that only if I bought out, I would spend my strength to become popular.

Moreover, the key to this business is to block the way of others. After a few years, all my artists will become popular, and PolyGram and other records will also want to follow the trend, so they will not have the right to turn it. I'm a person who has to do a decent job in any business. ”

Set a small goal first, such as remembering in 1 second: book guest residence
