Chapter 172: Discussion
After discussing many matters of the singing contest, Wu Ming told Huang Zhan and the four of them about the idea of "Music Bank".
After Huang Zhan and the four of them understood Wu Ming's positioning and expectations for "Music Bank", they couldn't help but be amazed by the filming of this show.
"Wonderful, this idea is really wonderful!" Huang Zhan praised, "After all, the "Global Chinese Rookie Singing Contest" is a talent show, and it is to discover new talents. Although original songs can add points, the focus is still on the singer's singing skills.
Moreover, most of the contestants have not systematically learned music knowledge, but they have a good singing voice and can sing, and some knowledge of composing music and lyrics is not known at all, so it is too difficult for them to create music. They don't have the money to buy songs, so they can only sing some celebrity songs, so it's impossible for the singing contest to ban contestants from covering songs. ”
After a pause, he added: ""Music Bank" is different, this show is aimed at singers who have already debuted. These singers have either been trained and learned to write songs, or the record company will have the songs ready for them. It is completely possible to prohibit cover songs from appearing on the stage, so that singers can only sing original songs on this show. ”
Lu Guozhan's eyes were also shining, and his eyes exuded longing, as if he saw a bright future. "If this "Music Bank" can really be as far as Amin said, it can penetrate into the hearts of the people, and it can play a role in controlling public opinion and promoting songs. In order to sell records better, record companies and singers have to pay attention to original music. ”
Li Xiaotian showed appreciation in his eyes and exclaimed: "Yes, in order to be on the show "Music Bank" and promote their songs, they can only do what we want. ”
Gu Jiahui sighed: "It's still the boss, you are powerful, you hit the key point as soon as you make a move, you are much stronger than us!"
couldn't help but feel that Gu Jiahui sighed, the four of them have been joining Starlight Records for half a year. But in terms of promoting original music, it has always been limited to Starlight Records. This is the result of Wu Ming's strong support. If Wu Ming hadn't given profits to music creators and singers, some people who value money more than music would have left long ago.
Now Xiangjiang's record companies are divided into two factions, one is Starlight Records, which is forbidden to cover songs except for those who are willing to play cover songs during concerts. Whether it's an album or a single, it has to be an original song.
On the other hand, all the record companies in Xiangjiang except Starlight Records, although most of them are still original songs, but the proportion of cover songs has become more and more. I believe that if it continues like this, within two or three years, cover songs will become a trend. In another four or five years, the east wind will overwhelm the west wind, and the number of cover songs will exceed the original songs. In another seven or eight years, cover songs will flood the entire Xiangjiang, and original music will be powerless.
Now with Wu Ming's strong support, the Xiangjiang music scene is about to embark on a different path from the previous life.
"It's great that Music Bank solves your problems, saving you the trouble of trying to get other labels to promote original music every day. Wu Ming smiled lightly.
Huang Zhan and the four of them all blushed when they heard this. Now most of the affairs in Starlight Records are in charge of Zheng Donghan, whom Wu Ming poached from Polygram at a high price. The four of them only need to be responsible for music production and tailor-made songs for the singers under Starlight Records, so they usually have a very easy time.
After having free time, they devoted themselves to the development of original Chinese music, and were not willing to be promoted by Starlight Records alone, but pondered to let the entire record company in Hong Kong promote original music.
But the bosses of other record companies are not as concerned about the future of the Xiangjiang music scene as Wu Ming. It can't be said that they are short-sighted, but compared with the development of original Chinese music, they are more concerned about the interests of their own company.
Not to mention these record companies, most of which are subsidiaries of foreign record companies. How can foreigners care about your Chinese original music career? Anyway, even if Xiangjiang's original music dies, they can take songs from the parent company or subsidiaries in other places to cover their singers.
So some time ago, Huang Zhan and the four of them excitedly came to promote the concept of developing original music, but they touched the dust again and again.
Li Xiaotian suddenly thought of something, frowned, and said: "Boss, what if those record companies are unwilling to be coerced by us, cooperate with TVB, and let TVB also produce a program similar to "Music Bank"? Shaw Yifu of TVB is not as concerned about the development of original Chinese music as you are, and he will definitely agree to them." ”
Huang Zhan, Gu Jiahui, and Lu Guozhan were all stunned when they heard Li Xiaotian's words, and then showed worried looks. Finally came up with a good way to promote original music, and they didn't want to die there.
Wu Ming shrugged his shoulders and smiled slightly: "Don't worry, I have thought of this a long time ago, and you don't have to worry about it at all." ”
"Really?" Li Xiaotian said in surprise.
Wu Ming nodded and explained: "I will purchase the most advanced studio equipment for the program "Music Bank", and I will choose as large venues as possible for the program site. In short, he desperately threw money into it and made this show very luxurious.
In this way, even if Wireless comes to plagiarize our program, if it is not willing to spend a lot of money, the effect of the program will be far inferior to our "Music Bank". Naturally, the influence cannot be compared with "Music Bank". ”
After a pause, Wu Ming showed a mocking expression and said: "According to Sir Shao's consistent character of picking the door, even the ratings of the ace program "Happy Tonight" have been equaled by "Millionaire", and they have been dragging their feet and refusing to increase production funds.
It is even more impossible for him to spend a lot of money on such a program that works for the benefit of others and does not get much benefit for himself. I'm sure that TVB will produce a similar show to play against Music Bank, but it will definitely only come up with a small amount of money. There is no way to threaten the well-funded and lavishly produced "Music Bank". So let your hearts be a hundred. ”
After Wu Ming's explanation, Huang Zhan and the four of them finally put down the big stone in their hearts and breathed a sigh of relief. Compared with Wu Ming, who knew Shao Yifu's door-picking personality from other people's mouths, they had more or less contact with Shao Yifu and wireless employees, and they knew better that Shao Yifu was eager to treat one money as two flowers, and Wu Ming's conjecture would become a reality.
