office, a few people sat down.

Li Zhifan was the first to speak: "Director Zhang, I ...... about it"

"Don't worry!

Before Li Zhifan finished speaking, Director Zhang took the lead in speaking, "That cartoon has already been reviewed in the station, and it will start playing on New Year's Day, so I will give you a queue! You don't know, our domestic cartoon field is still very prosperous, and more than a dozen cartoons sent every month may be shown on our channel, just a few, and your one is really exceptional." ”

"Thank you so much Director Zhang!"

After Li Zhifan finished speaking, he looked at the other two and immediately said, "Thank you Secretary Jin and Acting Director too." ”

"Haha, thank you no need, let's sign the contract quickly!"

Director Zhang stood up and said, "I still have to go to Lao Zhou's place, and after handing in this contract, you can officially schedule the film." ”

"That's done!" Li Zhifan said with a smile, "Since Director Zhang is so happy, I won't say more, come, let's sign!"

There are several contracts, including copyright contracts, sharing agreements, purchase agreements, and distribution agreements.

The cartoon "Peppa Pig" not only sold the premiere rights to CCTV, but also sold the distribution rights of other domestic TV stations to CCTV, which means that if other stations or online broadcast platforms want to broadcast it in the future, you can directly find CCTV authorization, but after CCTV distributes it, the copyright income needs to be shared with Peppa Culture Studio.

As for the surrounding copyright, it is still in the hands of Page Culture Studio, and when the time comes, whether to authorize or do it yourself is up to Page Culture Studio to decide.

……

The song of the Spring Festival Gala, Li Zhifan handed it in the next day, but it was just a sample, and no one had yet arranged it.

But maybe only Li Zhifan has this privilege, just listening to the sample, the Spring Festival Gala program team passed the review.

As for the arrangement, the program team also sent the CCTV Symphony Orchestra to contact Li Zhifan, and emphasized that Li Zhifan was solely responsible.

On the other hand, the film schedule of "Dream Travel" in China is not very good, only 10%.

If it weren't for Li Zhifan, maybe not even 10 percent, mainly because this is an animated film, and the cartoons released in China, no matter which country produced them, will not exceed 10 percent of the premiere schedule.

But it's not completely hopeless, as long as the follow-up box office is good and the dark horse is killed, the film schedule can still be raised.

In other countries, the same is true for the film schedule of "Dream Travel", and some are even lower, only a few tenths of a percent.

In the following days, Li Zhifan was on vacation, relaxed and comfortable.

I get up every day and rehearse songs with the CCTV Symphony Orchestra, and then it's fine.

Occasionally, I receive a notice on a variety show, and I don't go out on location, it's all indoors, just to promote "Dream Travel".

In this case, Hua Na found Li Zhifan and proposed the idea of holding a concert.

Of course, it is not open now, the preparatory work for a concert can last for three months to a year, to design the brand of the concert, to formulate the route of the concert, to contact the venues in various cities across the country, and to produce the content, every musician has to finalize and contact, the musicians of the concert are not casually found, and it is impossible for Li Zhifan to cover them all, and with Li Zhifan's current identity, the musicians have to be found from the world.

Once the band was finalized, the songs were rehearsed, some of the songs needed to be rearranged, and some of the songs had to be designed by the music director according to the theme of the concert, even if they were based on the original version.

Including the order of the tracks, it is also formulated by the music director, not only to have a coherent theme, but also to ensure that Li Zhifan will not push too hard in the first half of the concert, resulting in the collapse of the second half.

However, it is also very easy to say here in Li Zhifan, when the music director designs the big theme and small theme, when the songs are set in the theme, if those songs in the past cannot be used, or they are not enough, Li Zhifan can also take out suitable new songs and fill them in.

This is how powerful Li Zhifan is at mastering bugs.

Since it has been decided to hold a concert, it will definitely not work before the year, and it can only be held after the year.

Hua Na immediately set out to contact several domestic performance companies, and across the country, each company has a different channel to divide the cake of the performance market.

For example, some performance companies have a good relationship with the cultural departments of major cities in Northeast China, so other performing arts companies have to cooperate with them if they want to carry out cultural performances in Northeast China, and some have very good channels in several major cities in the south, and some only have strong resources and channels in Beijing or Shanghai, which can not only package performances, but also package distribution.

So this time, Hua Na is the organizer, and the following co-organizers are looking for about seven or eight companies to share the cake of Li Zhifan's concert.

However, after several companies met for a meeting, it was found that the venues that can hold concerts next year are all after April, and they have already been set out before that.

Especially in big cities like Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen, the earliest place that can be set is the capital, which is also in April, and there are only 80,000 people in the national body.

The latest is Shenzhen, and the time is in July.

Hua Na, Beijing Branch.

"Zhifan, that's the timetable, if it is feasible, let's just set it, and we can't squeeze it any further!" Xie Ronghua, general manager of Huana, took out a tentative schedule and handed it to Li Zhifan.

These performances are those performance companies that have determined that they can be held after inquiring about the venues in various places, including 33 second-tier cities in the mainland, and the second-tier cities have not yet been planned.

The first concert was held, and 7 of them were in stadiums with more than 50,000 people, which is unique in the entire entertainment industry, but these performance companies did not doubt Li Zhifan's ability at all, and some performance companies have even proposed to buy out the box office of one or several of Li Zhifan's performances.

"The first April 16th?"

Li Zhifan counted the days, "How long do you have to wait?"

"Long?"

Xie Ronghua couldn't help but speak, "It's not a long time, is it?

"Why don't you go abroad first?"

Li Zhifan tapped his fingers on the table and said, "There are also a lot of Chinese abroad, so it should be able to open, right?"

"Abroad?"

Xie Ronghua scratched his head, "It's not good abroad, we haven't achieved results in China, if we go abroad rashly, if it doesn't sell well, it will affect the ticket sales of domestic concerts." ”

"Why don't I put out a few English songs?

Li Zhifan said directly, "Then find a few big American brands to cooperate, and you can attract popularity!"

"You think too...... Ugh!"

Xie Ronghua swallowed back the words "It's too simple" and changed his words: "Yes, but the billboard is not so good, are you sure you can use it?"

"This little meaning, American listeners are also listeners!"

Li Zhifan said with a smile, "In this way, I will go back to prepare the song, you contact a foreign performance company, and go directly to a foreign country after the year, and then connect the domestic performances to make this time a world tour." ”

"Ahh

Xie Ronghua opened his mouth wide, extremely surprised, "Then, then you go back and write! For foreign performance companies, I will contact the head office and let them be responsible for arranging." ”

Huana head office is also a veteran music company in the United States, one of the world's eight largest companies, but the branches in all regions of the world are self-sufficient, and dividends are paid to shareholders every year, such as Huana in Greater China, in addition to the head office in the United States, there are several small shareholders, and even individual shareholders.

However, the headquarters does not take care of the affairs of the branches, and only when the joint promotion is carried out, the head office will be the mainstay.

……

Back home, Li Zhifan had another job to do.

Since he is going to the US Billboard this time, he will pick the champion singles or runner-up singles of the past years, regardless of whether these songs are liked by mainland listeners or not, as long as they can be liked by foreigners.

The first song chosen was Boss Huang's "Shape-of-You", which is the number one single of the year by Billboard in the United States in another world, which successfully won the championship with its iconic humming integrated with electronic music and brainwashing rhythm.

The second song is the song "Closer", which entered the top ten of the Billboard year in 2016 and 2017, the original song is a male and female chorus song, but Li Zhifan has become his solo here, and then he has his own harmony, and the final effect is not far behind.

In addition to this kind of hit single that year, there are also some old songs, such as "Happy", the theme song of "Despicable Me 3", "Baby" by Bieber, and "Love-Yourself", which he won the 2016 championship.

In addition, Li Zhifan also turned over some god-level singles of female singers, such as Adele's "Rolling-In-The-Deep", which is an English song with the highest frequency on the talent stage of another world, almost every talent show has it, and the song has appeared on the Voice stage for four consecutive years.

There is also Reddy Gaga's "Poker-Face", the brainwashing song of poker face, if it doesn't appear in this world, it will be too boring, even if Li Zhifan is a male singer, he can turn this song to fit himself and be at ease.

Li Zhifan plans to make an EP of these seven songs, but the release speed is one by one, and if the effect is good, there will always be one that can hit next year's Billboard champion, right?

At least, the champion of the monthly list has to let him get one, right?

After picking it out, Li Zhifan began to record, this time he did not fly to the United States to record, but produced it on the timeline, and did not invite external forces, all of them were people within the company, led by Li Zhifan, and personally served as the producer.

A week later, Li Zhifan released his first English song - "Baby".

In addition to Ding Ri's singing part of the original version, there is also Arthur Kid's rap, this part Li Zhifan invited the famous American rapper Ives to come to help, but Ives's recording part was completed in the United States, and then transmitted through the network, and after the production was completed, it was handed over to Hua Na to contact the US headquarters for release.

For Ives, this time it was just a favor, a little favor, and a little money, he never thought about what kind of sensational song this Chinese singer could bring, nor did he think about how influential the song he recorded would be in the future, because he didn't even hear the full track, just got a piece of rap lyrics and less than a minute of music.

Ives first heard the song only a day before the American audience.

After listening to the whole song, Ives was stunned, and suddenly his blood surged.

"What? Is this the song I recorded?"

"How come? This song is going to come out, and it will definitely dominate the Billboard Champion List!"

With the keen instincts of a musician and years of experience as a singer, Ives felt that he had been given a very important opportunity, and this opportunity was only available after he had already gotten it.

What's more, he has never seen this person who sings with him!

Eight o'clock in the morning the next day.

The song "Baby" was released worldwide.

Relying on Huana's strong publicity ability and the brainwashing effect of the song, the song "Baby" washed the ears of listeners around the world for the first time.

It's just a simple version of the MV, and after it was launched on Youguan.com, it got 40 million hits in one day, which not only broke the probability of Chinese followers, but even squeezed into the top ten of the record list.

On the same day, Ives received numerous telephone interviews.

In the face of these reporters, Ives was very happy, and tried his best to praise and promote Li Zhifan on the phone, in fact, he just simply looked at Li Zhifan's information, and didn't know anything about himself, but anyway, there was no need to brag about anything else in the interview, as long as he boasted about his musical talent.

Hua Na also never expected that the song "Baby" would be so popular as soon as it was launched, so she rushed to produce all the peripherals about Li Zhifan, and asked her colleagues in the Beijing branch to take a set of photos with Li Zhifan for deeper publicity on the American Internet.

In addition to releasing some photos, this in-depth publicity also provided him with the endorsement of some American national brands, which are already international brands.

The first endorsement is the world's second-best-selling car brand - George Motors!

Of course, this sales volume is mainly in the Americas, only ranked third in China, fourth in Europe, and Japan and South Korea are even further behind, often outside the top ten, but they are too few to make the purchasing power negligible.

In addition to the negotiation on the part of Hua Na, it is also George Motors that wants to take the airport to further develop the Chinese market and choose Li Zhifan as the spokesperson, so Li Zhifan is a good choice for them.

On the third day, Li Zhifan's endorsement commercial was still being filmed, and the song "Baby" won the weekly chart champion of Billboard and squeezed into the top three positions on the monthly list.

……

Huana headquarters and Beijing Huana branch.

Two groups of people opened champagne across the video to celebrate.

"Oh yes!

"Haha, the monthly list is also in the top three!"

"Lee, I heard you have prepared seven songs!"

The person in charge of the headquarters smiled and said, "Make it slowly, we will do our best to push it!"

"It's almost all made!"

Li Zhifan smiled and said, "It is estimated that it will all be released next week!"
