114 was a great success

After "Rap Face" was rolled out through all channels based on the Voice of Liyuan, the first Peking Opera platform in China, it instantly caused an uproar in the entire Liyuan industry.

The new art form of combining Peking Opera and pop music makes everyone who hears this work feel very novel.

The most important thing is that Cheng Xiaolou's new work is not simply a splicing of two art forms together, but a real fusion.

With the foundation of the fame accumulated by "Ode to Pear Blossoms" and the crazy bombardment of omni-channel publicity, "Rap Facebook" detonated on the Internet like an atomic bomb.

Those who have listened to "Ode to Pear Blossoms" and are fascinated by Cheng Xiaolou, a young Tsing Yi who was born out of nowhere, have spontaneously shared and reprinted his second work "Rap Face".

Because this Peking song is dominated by pop music, many young people who like to listen to pop songs have also downloaded it after the audition.

The ethereal pure, transparent and bright, and at the same time extremely clean, rhythmic and beautiful female voice, as well as the natural voice rap in the middle, made many young people unconsciously like Cheng Xiaolou's voice that transitions freely between male and female.

Approaching 12 o'clock at noon, "Rap Facebook" once again refreshed the daily sales record of the Liyuan Voice newcomer list, breaking through the 5 million mark in just one and a half hours.

"Huh success, Xiaolou, you really succeeded!"

Seeing the soaring number of downloads, Pan Yu clenched his fists and exhaled excitedly, shouting excitedly.

"It's not that I've succeeded, it's that we've succeeded. ”

Cheng Xiaolou was also in a good mood and leaned back in the chair and laughed, and corrected seriously.

The revenue brought by the more than 5 million downloads of "Rap Face" is still secondary, and the fact that this Beijing song can be liked by so many people means that the market, theater fans and even the majority of young people accept and recognize this new art form.

At the same time, he also said that his concept of Peking Opera innovation has a certain degree of feasibility, and the majority of audiences also accept and even look forward to Peking Opera innovation from the bottom of their hearts.

After all, Peking Opera is the quintessence of China, inherited for nearly a thousand years, and it is an artistic treasure left by our ancestors, and no one really wants to watch it decline.

Maybe many young people don't realize this problem, but deep down or subconsciously, they are actually willing to listen to opera, the only premise is that Peking Opera can make them not feel so boring and boring.

And Cheng Xiaolou's Beijing song "Rap Face" includes pop music, rap, Peking Opera, and the conversion of male and female voices, which is in line with the aesthetic standards of contemporary young people in terms of art form and interest.

Therefore, Cheng Xiaolou actually expected this result, otherwise he would not have insisted on choosing "Rap Face" from the thousands of works in his mind.

As for the torture of the current situation of Peking Opera art and the deeper meaning in the lyrics, how many people can pay attention to and resonate, this is something he can't control.

"Rap Face" is just a kind of temptation and attempt by him, and there is still a long way to go before he can really drive the entire industry to innovate the art of Peking Opera.

Today's success can only be regarded as a reluctant first step.

"By the way, at eleven o'clock, Lin Xiaosheng, the art director of Yanyun Jingmeng, called me. ”

After checking the downloads of "Rap Facebook" and "Ode to Pear Blossom" again, Pan Yu turned off the computer and took his mobile phone on the way out to eat with Cheng Xiaolou, and then remembered that Lin Xiaosheng had called before.

"What did Director Lin say?"

Cheng Xiaolou paused, and there was no surprise on his face.

As a professional Peking Opera Culture and Art Company, Yanyun Jingmeng will naturally know about the omni-channel rollout of his new works for the first time, and if he doesn't call, it will really surprise Cheng Xiaolou.

"Hehe, I didn't say anything, I just asked me to go back to work under the idea of saving the country, and promised me a position as a manager, and a lot of benefits that sounded so good. ”

Pan Yu habitually touched the face tattoo on her bald head, and said very casually.

If it had been when he had just arrived in Dragon City, Lin Xiaosheng would have made him jump excitedly if he had offered these conditions. But now, he doesn't pay any attention to the so-called manager and the monthly salary of more than 10,000 yuan.

Cheng Xiaolou now has more than 13 million total downloads of the two works "Ode to Pear Blossoms" and "Rap Face", and the income from digital copyright alone is a full 26 million.

The voice of the pear orchard takes 30%, and Cheng Xiaolou takes 70%, deducting 20% of the income tax, and there is also a net income of almost 15 million.

With such a large sum of money in hand, it is enough for them to open a Peking Opera culture company on their own.

Even if you want to continue to learn things, with Cheng Xiaolou's current relationship with the voice of Liyuan, you only need to say hello casually, and Pan Yu is not going to whichever company she wants to go to.

"It's true that the drunkard doesn't mean to drink, it seems that this time their internal opinions should be unified, I really like Wu's new play, the theme of the snake girl is very interesting, if it can be changed to a Tsing Yi play, it should be very outstanding. ”

Cheng Xiaolou stopped and pondered for a moment, and after thinking about it carefully, he continued: "Sixth brother, I think the iron should be struck while it is hot. In this way, you call Lin Xiaosheng back, and don't beat around the bush and ask them what the company's attitude is. ”

"The Legend of the White Snake" is one of the four well-known folk loves in China in the previous life, and the poignant and touching love story of the White Lady and Xu Xian has been sung for thousands of years, and women and children know it.

This play has a pivotal position in the Chinese pear orchard industry in the previous life, and it is also one of Cheng Xiaolou's favorite children's plays.

If it drags on for a long time, or makes Lin Xiaosheng mistakenly think that he is no longer interested in Wu Yong's snake girl-themed play, and gives the play to someone else, then Cheng Xiaolou will inevitably regret it for life.

What's more, the innovation of Peking Opera is not simply an innovation in art form, but also the innovation of theme, content, story structure and characters in the play is also very important.

Although there are scenes between fox demons and scholars, as well as between Taoist priests and ghosts, people have always been the protagonists of the play, and demons, ghosts, and gods are always only supporting roles.

And only two innovative pieces are really monotonous, not enough to support his ideas.

Since he met Wu Yong's snake girl-themed drama at the right time, Cheng Xiaolou naturally didn't mind singing a big drama in Dragon City that innovated from the theme of the story and the identity of the protagonist.

"Okay, I'll call Lin Xiaosheng back right away. ”

Pan Yu nodded in agreement, and immediately took out his mobile phone and dialed Lin Xiaosheng's number.

Lin Xiaosheng didn't get a positive answer from Pan Yu in the morning, and he was frowning with Michelle in the office at this time, and he didn't even have an appetite for lunch.

As soon as he saw Pan Yu calling back, he suddenly stood up from the chair and said excitedly: "Boss Cheng and his teacher Pan Yu called!"

"Then you pick it up, anyway, Mr. Li has already told us the company's bottom line, I think this time you just tell them the sincerity of our company directly on the phone." ”

Michelle also sat up straight all of a sudden, and said quickly with some nervousness.

"If only the conditions we made a few days ago might have impressed them, but now!"

Lin Xiaosheng sighed with a bitter face, took a deep breath before pressing the answer button, and said with a wry smile: "My brother Pan, you can be considered to have called, you don't know, this more than an hour, brother, I have really lived like a year, and I want to wear it." ”

Pan Yu turned on the speakerphone as soon as he answered the phone, and smiled at Cheng Xiaolou next to him before pretending to be surprised and said: "Director Lin, you are serious about what you say, life is like a year, and you want to wear it, this is too exaggerated, I remember that you have three managers under you." ”

"Brother, don't make fun of me, we're all bright people, I'll just tell you straight. That's right, after careful discussion and discussion between our company and Wu everyone, we agreed that it was a very good idea for Boss Cheng to change Wu's snake girl-themed drama into a Tsing Yi play. ”

Lin Xiaosheng also turned on the speakerphone, and stopped going around in circles after Michelle came over, and directly told Cheng Xiaolou and Pan Yu on the other end of the phone the bottom line that Li Jun gave them.

Last time he was in Li Jun's office, Wu Yong was actually moved by Cheng Xiaolou's suggestion to change the play. Immediately after he launched two high-quality plays in succession, which were both quality and creativity, Wu Yong's determination to change the play was immediately strengthened.

So Michelle didn't say a few words on the phone this morning, and Wu Yong agreed without hesitation, and he also very much hoped to invite Cheng Xiaolou to complete the play with him.

And Li Jun also gritted his teeth and stomped his feet and decided to make a bloody investment, promising to give Cheng Xiaolou a bonus of 7 million yuan and a bonus of 10% and 5 percent, and ask him to sing the big shaft.

7 million lottery money plus a bonus of 5 percent, this is already the limit that Li Jun can bear!

Lin Xiaosheng's conditions on the phone Cheng Xiaolou heard it clearly, this price was much higher than he expected, originally he thought that Li Jun could give 7 million plus a bonus of 10%.

After all, Yanyun Jingmeng is also a big company, and it is not realistic to spend so much manpower, material and financial resources to make a play, and there is no money to be made.

After signaling Pan Yu to turn off the speakerphone, Cheng Xiaolou whispered in his ear: "Tell him that I took this play, but there are two conditions." First, when changing the play, my opinion should be dominant, and the copyright should be shared with the Wu family; second, the play must be discharged within half a month after the script is changed. ”

He has the complete script of "The Legend of the White Snake" in his head, and the so-called change of the play is just to replace most of Wu Yong's play with the play in his head.

The Royal Peking Opera University was about to start in early September, so he had to get the show out before then.

After the start of school, Cheng Xiaolou will have to devote most of his time and energy to studying the Peking Opera culture of this world, and if he has to rehearse the opera for several months, he will not be able to accept it anyway.
