Chapter 962: Investment
Hongyan Music Qin Anguo, after knowing that Xu Xinyi had a new song written by Qin Fangge, they also began to discuss with her about licensing Hongyan Music to them.
But in this matter, Xu Xinyi herself can't completely make the decision, and her agent is also her sister-in-law Xie Wuflaw, and she only euphemistically said that she would make a decision later, and Xu Xinyi didn't practice well. I don't know when the recording will be, and she's been busy like something during this time. If you want to find Qin Fangge to help supervise the production, you need to find time.
When it comes to copyright, Qin Fangge's music copyright is in his own hands, even if it is for Xu Xinyi, Zhao Yuhui, Guo Yan, Wei Lingling and other acquaintances. This is also the attitude of real respect for the creators, in terms of the contract, the price they give can only buy performances, dissemination, recordings, and sales, and the music created for the new version of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms is not bought out by the crew like other music. In this regard, Qin Fangge is relatively strong, initially thanks to Zhou Xiuying's strong support and allowing students to lead by example and truly respect composers. There is also Qin Fangge's own fame, as well as Xi Wanqing's strong backing.
Otherwise, if he were to be the same as other songwriters, the income of this soundtrack album would basically be out of his favor.
Xu Xinyi and Xie Wuflawless naturally have considerations, they don't expect to be able to make a digital album and sell it online like Qin Fangge, and they can sell so much. Xu Xinyi is still very clear about her singing strength, she can't be called professional, let alone anything else, it's okay if it's free, but it's too reluctant to put it on the shelves, although she is not famous now, this song The moon represents my heart, and it is also Qin Fangge's work.
To be honest, Xu Xinyi and the others can't look at the income from digital album sales at all, and it is important to clearly understand their own strength. Even if it is Chen Yushan, who is excellent in strength, how to deal with her new album is also being weighed and evaluated, and she does not dare to rashly put a digital album on the shelves. Generally speaking, before you don't have enough strength and appeal, it's better to be honest and free. Of course, the copyright must be in your own hands.
This copyright is now firmly held in the hands of Qin Fangge's own Daqin Entertainment Company, and it is only an exclusive authorization for Hongyan Music. Of course, after Hongyan Music buys the license for a few years, it can be sub-licensed to other music companies, and then it can be played and downloaded on other players.
As a senior practitioner in the music industry, Qin Anguo and Zhou Haoyu of Hongyan Music must be aware of these doorways, and they are trying their best to operate genuine music, which is also based on this purpose. No one wants to do anything that is not beneficial, but Hongyan Music thinks about it more long-term.
The top priority at the moment is to deal with Qin Fangge's original soundtrack, and the rest, there is an intention, and I will talk about it slowly in the future, there are too many things to discuss in terms of details.
If you put a digital album on the shelves, it can basically only be a new song, and the old songs have been widely spread and have already been downloaded, and not many listeners are willing to buy it. Xu Xinyi's two I only care about you Sweet Honey is like this, and Qin Fangge's previous two piano recordings that have been circulating have no idea of being sold as digital albums.
At this press conference, there are many media invited, newspapers, television, networks, radio and media, mainly by Daqin Company, in addition to calling to invite, you also have to issue invitation letters to negotiate carriage and horse expenses, these things are always right. Xi Wanqing didn't want to save money on this, the media's discipline was really limited, especially when she was hacked by them before.
It has been said that the media is undisciplined, and if they get the invitation and the carriage fee, they will definitely come to cheer. If you take money to do things, the company also has to track the results. As for the aftermath, they estimate how dark it should be or how it should be black, no one can do anything about this, just don't make trouble before and after the press conference.
In addition to these media, there are also Qin Fangge, who are close to each other, and Xue Min's Times Magazine is needless to say, dedicated to Qin Fangge.
On the music channel, the director Chen Gong is Qin Fangge's senior brother, Bai Xueni and Qin Fangge of the Fenghua Folk Music Column Group have a very happy cooperation, Rao Jing claims to be a fan of Qin Fangge, and they all came over to cheer after they were invited.
Qin Fangge also has a lot of cooperation with the National Center for the Performing Arts, in addition to the vice president in charge of external relations, the host of this press conference invited Huang Xiaojia from the Grand Theater to host the friendship.
Bai Xueni and Rao Jing arrived relatively early, and Huang Xiaojia, the host, was even more so, she had to memorize the list in advance, mainly to introduce the leaders present.
Zuo Shuqin's mother Wu Ruhui was also invited by Xi Wanqing, she didn't come to cheer for her daughter Zuo Shuqin, and the Ministry of Culture was 100% supportive of promoting the legalization of music. Why is the art market shrinking so much now, there are not many fine works, and rampant piracy has the greatest impact.
In addition, there are some fans carefully selected by Daqin Company, and the premise is that they have to follow the arrangement, and if they want to make jokes at the press conference, they will have a lot of fun. These lists have also been carefully examined, and there will be no such thing as pretending to be loyal to Infernal Affairs.
Zhou Xiuying and Shen Jianping didn't come over, but Zhao Yuhui had to be there, he is now a song that is rolling east of the Yangtze River and is popular all over the country, not to mention, there is also a trend like Hong Kong, Taiwan, Japan, South Korea, and Southeast Asia. Qin Fangge, a junior brother, was also rare and generous, and sang the short song line to him for free, and Zhao Yuhui took it to the stage of the CCTV Lantern Festival Gala.
Zhao Yuhui and Xu Xinyi are used to such occasions, Qin Fangge is okay, and his previous concerts and operas are even more occasional. As far as Chen Yushan is concerned, even as a supporting role, it is the first time, but fortunately, she maintains her mentality relatively well, and she has experienced Jiang Na and Xu Xinyi with them.
Zhao Yuhui is Zhou Xiuying's protégé, and he is also one of the first singing artists Qin Fangge came into contact with in the capital.
It's just that everyone is busy, and it's rare to get together a lot, and today's press conference is not stressful for everyone, so let's get together to chat and contact feelings. After greetings, Zhao Yuhui joked with Qin Fangge, saying that he had made a fortune this time, how he was going to spend it after making so much money, buying a house or a private jet or something, or planning to make other investments or something. People who are familiar with Qin Fangge know that he does not have a house in Yanjing, and the courtyard house he lives in now is rented.
Qin Fangge only laughed, "It doesn't seem like you can do anything with this money!"
"It's already a lot, I can't make so much money in my life, and I'm very satisfied with you now with one-tenth of it. Zhao Yuhui laughed at his modesty.
Qin Fangge is not good at guessing Zhao Yuhui's net worth, artists and others seem to be relatively poor. Zhao Yuhui works in the art troupe, and it is not much use to ask for so much money.
Xu Xinyi also interjected beside her, "It can be used for investment, and it must be the most worthless if you don't move it." ”
Xue Min laughed at Xu Xinyi's investment and financial management, needless to say, real estate certificates, and the real economy, such as food and jewelry is a long-lasting industry, let Qin Fangge learn from her. Generally, if celebrities come out, they love to buy luxury houses as investments, and there are also jewelry stores, restaurants, especially hot pot restaurants, and there are many investments and higher-end clubs.
Xu Xinyi smiled and said modestly, "I actually won't, sisters-in-law are more powerful!"
When gossiping, Xie Wufin also joined in and asked Qin Fangge, "Is there a basement in the courtyard where you live now?"
Qin Fangge shook his head and said no, Xie Wufang said, "If you can, it's actually okay to buy it directly for investment, but if you want to bring a basement, it's even more expensive." There is basically no possibility of housing prices in Yanjing falling, and if they can catch up with the demolition, they will make a profit. ”
They are still relatively clear about the housing prices in Yanjing, and if Qin Fangge is renting the courtyard house now, if they want to get it, they will basically spend about 40 million. For Chinese, it seems that buying a house or something will always come first.
Qin Fangge calculated that his funds were still too small, and it was okay to invest in real estate, but it was still too slow, so he asked if there was any way to make money faster.
"It's actually not easy to invest now, and the risks are quite big!" Xie Wuflawless said.
"What about making movies! I think the domestic film box office market is quite explosive now, with more than 10 or 2 billion yuan at every turn. Qin Fangge asked, he actually doesn't have any good investment methods, if he wants to be reborn to the past point in time, he can also invest according to the general trend behind him.
"It has to be a good movie, and box office fraud is not uncommon now, and bragging about it is not taxable anyway. In fact, the vast majority of movies can recover their costs quite well, and there are only a few that make money. Xue Min immediately laughed, what she didn't say was that many movies were actually used for box office, and more for money laundering.
If Qin Fangge wants to invest, it is definitely not for such a purpose, the money he earns is right, and he doesn't need to play these tricks. Because of this, if you fall into it, it is better to buy a house and invest in the catering industry or something!
Xu Xinyi is quite interested in this, "Do you want to make your own movie or what? Laughing proudly? TV series will definitely not lose money, and movies are a bit difficult to say! Now those big-name directors dare not guarantee the box office."
Zhao Yuhui guessed, "If Qin Fangge wants to make a movie, he must give full play to his own advantages, and if he wants to make a music movie with little investment, there is still a drama!"
Xue Min Xie Wuflawless and the others also nodded, "It is most feasible to be small and broad, and if you invest a lot as soon as you come up, it is really dangerous!"
"Qin Fangge's best thing is music, as long as the plot is not too bad, he can win awards just by soundtrack. This time in the new Three Kingdoms TV series, the award must be indispensable, and the excellent music award is a sure thing. Xu Xinyi said happily.
"That's quite funny!" Qin Fangge also laughed happily.
Zhang Zhiwen, a big director, greeted Hongyan Music, and joined in when he saw that they were chatting happily, but he didn't forget to pour cold water, "If you are domestic, commercial films can recover their costs, and literary films don't lose their money." If you want to make a musical movie, you have to think about it!"
In another time and space, he has watched a lot of movies, and he also knows that Zhang Zhiwen is very reasonable, it is not so easy to win with a small and big picture, and if you want to become a box office dark horse, the quality of the movie must be very high. But he was reborn, can't he want to be original, can't he take ready-made?
When it comes to promoting music, film is undoubtedly the best way to do it, which is more efficient and spreads more widely than television. For example, this new version of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms TV series music, it is very difficult to break into Europe and the United States. What if it's like a musical movie, like Mozart's biography, and it's an excellent musical movie that has won an Oscar.
The more Qin Fangge thought about it, the more feasible he felt that in this time and space, he could invest in making a film about a great musician like Mozart's biography of Beethoven. He was already a little troubled about how to make a film about how to take the works of great musicians like Mozart and Beethovenbach to make a movie.
In Zhao Yuhui, Xu Xinyi, and others, musicians like Mozart, Beethoven, and Bach are fictional, but their music is not. In the middle, Qin Fangge also has to find a balance.
When he was thinking about it, Zhao Yuhui and they all noticed it, and when he came back to his senses, Zhao Yuhui asked him with a smile, "Did you think of any good themes!"
Xu Xinyi even asked him to come out and listen, Qin Fangge said that he just had a preliminary idea, "It's basically the story of an unknown pianist!"
"Pianist?" Xue Min and the others were very curious, "It matches the music you are best at, if you play it yourself, just for the piano in it, I believe there will be many people who are willing to go to the cinema to see it." ”
Zhao Yuhui nodded, "There are not many movies about pianists, and even fewer are well-made, and the background is basically placed abroad." ”
Zhang Zhiwen asked him to talk about his thoughts, and the classic film that Qin Fangge remembered was naturally a pianist at sea. The people who like this movie like it very much, and the people who don't like it are not interested in it at all, and the evaluation is more polarized. However, as far as Qin Fangge himself is concerned, he likes this movie very much, not because he is a literary youth or anything.
"I had the idea to write a story about a pianist who was adrift at sea and never got off the ship on land, set at the beginning of the last century, an orphan abandoned by his parents, who was adopted by the crew and learned to play the piano without a teacher on a ship, and has been with the piano ever since." Qin Fangge roughly told the story outline of the pianist at sea, in his opinion, if you invest in music-related movies, the first choice of this fictional genius pianist 1900 is very suitable, the music he plays, Qin Fangge does not need to copy, he borrows this story, and then creates music by himself....
