At two o'clock in the afternoon, the conference hall of the National Centre for the Performing Arts, the managers of the film and television program production department under the management system, the art exchange department of the art education exchange system, and the managers of the repertoire production department of the performance operation system all attended.

The institutional setup of the Grand Theater is relatively complicated, and Ning Xiupei and Xi Wanqing and Xue Min attended with several employees of Daqin Culture and Entertainment Company.

In addition, the managers and artistic directors of the Roman Opera House and the Prague State Opera did not leave in a hurry after watching last night's performance, they came to inspect the strength of the Chinese opera industry, and there were many follow-up things to discuss in detail just for the performance of "Don Juan" in their opera house, and one by one was to be listed as a contract.

At this time, Camillo, the manager of the Roma Opera, the musical director Domenico, the director of the Prague State Opera Foreman, and the artistic director Berdych were all there. The Czech Philharmonic Orchestra is also represented by its artistic director, Vučik, and these veteran opera connoisseurs have given high praise to the successful premiere of Don Giovanni last night.

Among them, Berdych, the artistic director of the Prague State Opera, was the most excited, saying that if this opera was to be staged in their opera house, the warm and hospitable audience in Prague would definitely give Qin Fangge, the great composer and singer, and the entire "Don Giovanni" opera group the highest praise. It also makes them wonder how fanatical the Czechs are about art......

This Qin Fangge believes that the premiere of Mozart's "Don Juan" was in Prague, and now in Prague in another time and space, Mozart's influence is quite large, and people in Prague even regard this place as Mozart's second hometown. It is said that when Mozart was alive, his hometown of Salzburg was not popular in Prague, and he himself was very fond of the city and its people.

There is also a strong rivalry between the Roman Opera House and the Prague State Opera, although they are already much luckier than others such as the Berlin Opera House, the Vienna Opera House, etc., but they still have their own arguments over which opera house to perform in first.

Of course, today's topic is not about which company to perform at first, but about something that has not been done for a long time.

At the beginning, Qin Fangge participated in the performance of the opera "Macbeth" at the Roman Opera House and "La Bohème" at the Prague State Opera, and so far, the release of both operas has not been completed.

Ning Xiupei can't manage so many things abroad, and the rules and gameplay are different, but in China, it is obviously much easier to do. These are also two completely different systems, and now Qin Fangge's popularity at home and abroad is quite high, but especially in China, and now his first original opera "Don Juan" is in a uproar.

Even foreign counterparts such as Foreman Berdych have heard of it, and they are a little surprised, has opera become so popular in the Chinese market?

As for such a controversy between morality and art, in the eyes of these old foxes, there is nothing good or bad at all! Artistic directors such as Berdych and Domenico even feel that the Chinese are still too conservative, and if they want to buy the performance copyright of "Don Juan" and organize their own opera houses for rehearsals and performances, they will definitely increase the scale, and the controversy or something, the bigger the better!

Of course, these foreigners who have been in the society for many years can also see that Zhou Xiuying and the National Center for the Performing Arts are not vegetarians, and they didn't think about stopping the performance at all, but they wanted to take this opportunity to promote the opera to a greater extent, and also with the help of such an incident, Qin Fangge's fame became even bigger, like a snowball.

Participating in this meeting, there are also representatives of Hongyan Company, and this time it is not only Hongyan Music, which signed a super contract with Qin Fangge before, but also the vice president of Hongyan Video this time.

Hongyan Music didn't say anything, he bought out the copyright of Qin Fangge's music in the past three years, exclusively authorized it to Hongyan Music, and then Hongyan Music sublicensed it and so on, just don't care about his business.

The opera he starred in, Hongyan Music is also trying his best to fight for it, this is not only Qin Fangge's business, but also involves the opera house and many opera singers, orchestras and other aspects.

However, Lei Biao, the general manager of Hongyan Music, and other high-level executives are quite optimistic about China's classical music market. Qin Fangge is undoubtedly a benchmark figure who has driven the vigorous development of the entire Chinese classical music market, and his thousands of fans have added a lot of vitality to classical music. In addition, now that China's economic conditions are good, there are quite a lot of students who buy pianos at home to learn to practice. The little girls and boys have also grown to like classical music, not just pop music that is becoming less and less innovative on the market.

Qin Fangge's current influence is undoubted, Hongyan Company has great ambitions and has done a lot of practical things, although some people sue him for monopoly. But for Qin Fangge, no matter what purpose Hongyan Company uses and what kind of commercial competition methods it uses, its efforts in respecting music copyrights allow him to get the copyright fee, which is the most important thing and one of the important factors for him to cooperate with Hongyan Music.

After the successful premiere of last night's opera "Don Juan", it caused contradictions and controversies between morality and art, as well as Qin Fangge, who originally had its own topic attributes, his musical talent, performance talent, super good looks, and his amorous personality, all of which can particularly bring heat.

It's just that everyone didn't expect that after a night, it would become a national carnival.

Not only Hongyan Music wants to take advantage of the trend, open up a broader market, attract and cultivate more users. The same is true of Hongyan Video, they are the same as the previous Hongyan Pictures, they are particularly interested in Qin Fangge, but Qin Fangge's film politely refused the investment of Hongyan Pictures, although he just wanted to participate in the shares, his reason at that time was that his first movie, he wanted to make a movie that was purely his own, and all the copyrights should be completely in his own hands, which was nothing to discuss, and the profits and losses were completely self-reliant.

As for the post-production and distribution of the film after completion, if Hongyan Pictures has the strength, it can be considered for priority cooperation.

This is also a more helpless choice, you don't need others to interfere in making movies, but in things such as post-release and theater negotiations, Qin Fangge's energy is still too small, which requires a sedan chair to carry people, after all, to the audience, you still have to go through the cinema line. The publicity and marketing of the movie is also super expensive, and Qin Fangge's own words are not so much money.

Equivalent to another time and space Tencent Company, which also started with instant messaging software and gradually developed into an Internet giant, the internal competition is also quite fierce, and there are many departments.

Hongyan Software, Hongyan Music, Hongyan Video, Hongyan Pictures, Hongyan Games, Hongyan Live, Hongyan Entertainment...... Basically, in every industry, Hongyan Company will plug in.

Hongyan Video also took a fancy to Qin Fangge's original and personal performance of the opera "Don Juan" This time, and his reputation as the world's No. 1 tenor is not in vain. Previously, he performed the opera "Alonso", which is known as the world's most difficult challenge, and a aria of "Beautiful Days", which perfectly performed the nine high Cs, and the whole world trembled.

The high-definition full video of the opera "Alonso" has never been released, and only a few clips have been circulated on the Internet. As the state and society pay more and more attention to music and film and television copyrights, Hongyan Video took the initiative to find Qin Fangge's Daqin Culture and Entertainment to put forward the intention of cooperation.

I still buy the copyright with them, and the website where Hongyan Video is released is paid for on-demand, so the price of each on-demand is not high. Generally, the price of movies that have been released in theaters will basically not exceed five yuan, and if it is exclusive, it will be higher. The price given by Hongyan Video is double the original price, ten yuan, is it to highlight the elegant, high-end and stylish style of the opera?

Hongyan Video also seems to be very sincere, everyone cooperates, and the copyright fee can be sat down and talked slowly. Buyouts are naturally the most convenient and trouble-free option for both parties, and if they are distributed according to on-demand revenue, there are quite a lot of problems. For example, if you open a VIP membership, it can be free, and if you don't open it, you will pay five yuan and ten yuan a piece.

Unlike Hongyan Music, whether you are a member or not, you need to spend money to buy it.

As for Hongyan Music, he is also interested in Qin Fangge's opera, and the contracts have been signed, and the copyright fee of 150 million has also been paid to him.

Hongyan Music and Hongyan Video do not have to worry about conflicts, although Hongyan Company especially encourages internal competition.

Take Qin Fangge's "Don Juan" as an example, it can not only be made into a factory record in Hongyan Music and put on the shelves, but also can be opened for online viewing on Hongyan Video at the same time.

In terms of video, Hongyan Music does not grab business, Hongyan Music also has MVs, but it is not long, usually only a few minutes, so that the three-hour opera performance is better to watch the Hongyan video. If the opera is made into a record, there is no problem, everyone does not want to watch the video all the time, and it is quite a good choice to listen to the record while doing other things.

Moreover, in terms of physical records and CDs, it is also a special project of Hongyan Music, and Hongyan Video does not have this business at all.

After tasting the sweetness, Hongyan Music also tried its best to persuade Qin Fangge to release opera records and videos, the cost was not high, and the content was the same. The main thing is to satisfy the hearts of fans to collect, although the market for physical records is quite sluggish now, Qin Fangge has a large number of fans, and there are still quite a lot of people who are willing to pay to buy them and listen to them and collect them. At the very least, Hongyan Music can judge that making a physical record of Qin Fangge will definitely not lose money.

In terms of Hongyan video, he even wants to make an appointment with Qin Fangge for the online broadcast rights of his first movie "The Pianist at Sea", and now everyone is doing the same, and after a period of time after the theater is released, the online video website will earn a little more.

Then, he also talked to Qin Fangge's team about his TV series adapted from "Smiling Proud Jianghu", which is being filmed, or directed by Zhang Zhiwen and Xu Xinyi as the heroine.

This time, Hongyan Video doesn't want to lag behind the photo website anymore, but the previous "New Version of Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Qin Fangge is just making music, and the decision is not in his hands. "Smiling Proud Jianghu" is different, Qin Fangge's team occupies a decisive position, the main investor and producer are Daqin Culture and Entertainment Co., Ltd., and the big director Zhang Zhiwen is more to help shoot TV series.

In any case, it is always okay to have a good relationship with Qin Fangge's team first, and he is currently quite happy to cooperate with Hongyan Company.

However, the art of opera is too complicated, and the ownership of copyright is not particularly clear. Now when other interests are involved, although the number is not particularly large, it is troublesome enough.

The situation here at the National Centre for the Performing Arts is better, Qin Fangge is a big name, if it weren't for him, Hongyan Video wouldn't have come to the door to take the initiative to cooperate. When the tickets were not sold out, the National Centre for the Performing Arts didn't think about it at all......

Foreigners are more rigid and superstitious about contracts, which is the so-called spirit of contract. This time, Qin Fangge's opera "Don Juan" went out to perform in their opera house, and the contracts were all piled up, even down to every prop and screw, as well as the use of every worker in the opera house's engineering department, because they all had to pay wages to workers!

So, let's just sit down and talk slowly!

Qin Fangge, the main party involved, was busy with the preparation of the opera, so he only came over to show his face and say hello to various theater managers, artistic directors, and president managers of enterprises. handed over the matter to Ning Xiupei and Xi Wanqing, their support team, and the leaders of several Daqin Culture and Entertainment Companies are also good at negotiating.

Ning Xiupei and Xi Wanqing are only responsible for the general direction, and the specific details, especially the negotiations with the managers of the two foreign opera houses, are still handed over to them for professional negotiations, and deducting details is not their specialty.

What's more, Ning Xiupei and the others also have more important things to do, how to deal with the huge controversy caused by this opera performance.

Zhou Xiuying was also busy and showed up to reassure them, telling them not to worry about whether the performance would stop, which had already been approved by the superiors, even if the leaders had any opinions under social pressure, she and the National Center for the Performing Arts would take it first.

Zhou Xiuying also asked Ning Xiupei and them to operate with confidence, and also said that at such a critical moment, it was best not to distract Qin Fangge. He performed for five nights in a row, and it was quite remarkable to perform the opera well, and he didn't have so much energy to toss around these things. Business negotiation and marketing operations are also Xi Wanqing's and Xue Min's specialties, and it is time for them to show their talents.
