Chapter 658: Retro Masterpiece
If it had been two years ago, when he heard that nearly 20 billion yuan of investment was needed, Shi Zhenqiu would have given up immediately.
Because even if you sell him, you won't be able to get 20 billion.
Not to mention 20 billion, even if it is 2 billion, it is very difficult.
Fortunately, in the past two years, he has ushered in a real take-off.
is music, TV series, movies, as well as various variety shows and commercial activities, all of which have brought him rich returns.
Last year, the various production income of "Splendid Legacy" plus copyright brought him a total of more than 5 billion yuan, which was his most lucrative income in film and television production.
This year's "Bread King Jin Zhuoqiu" should drop slightly, but it will almost be more than 4 billion.
The main thing is that the lineup of this drama does not have enough influence overseas. And the plot type is also a typical Korean-style family ethics drama, and there is no overseas market.
In addition, through the production of the movie, Shi Zhenqiu finally understood why everyone thinks that movies are a higher grade than TV series.
Even a movie like "Unforgiven", which has just passed the profit and loss point, has brought him 2.5 billion in income. If it were like "Lone Agent", how many would it be?
But if you want to say that the bulk of his income in the past two years is actually two songs released in Europe and the United States this year.
There's no way, the market size over there is too big, and his songs are all popular, which has also brought him unimaginable benefits.
"Upton Funke" is not sung by him, but in the name of the producer, so the income is slightly less. However, with the addition of various copyright incomes, the income from audio sources has now reached more than 9.5 billion.
As for "Rolling in the deep", it's even more exaggerated.
This is still Shi Zhenqiu's relatively few commercial performances, if he is as diligent as Bruno Mars, it will be easy to multiply it several times.
Rao is so, and this song also brought him a huge income of 13.2 billion won.
With just two English singles, it's more than the combined revenue of his activities in Korea for several years.
also relied on these two songs to make Shi Zhenqiu's pockets bulge. This time, if you want to invest in building a building, you can easily spend 20 billion yuan.
After completing Che Yongjian's discussion, Shi Zhenqiu happily drew the account, and the rest of the land was handed over to Che Yongjian for planning.
On his side and Mystic89, as long as they supervise every now and then, there is nothing to worry about.
Seeing that the final recording of the wrestling special was not far away, the recording team of USA Ntork TV station in the United States also came.
In the beginning, the recording team in the United States did not take it too seriously.
They also feel that it is just a variety show, and the level must be limited.
Especially the crooked melons and cracked dates grown by these members, who seem to be malnourished except for one person, can they show E's demeanor well?
But after following the photos several times in a row, these Americans were also moved by the diligent training of these seemingly inconspicuous members of "Infinite Challenge".
"We didn't want to be professional wrestlers, and we didn't want to be how good we were. We just want to use this platform to show the sport of professional wrestling and its charm to audiences who don't know it yet. In addition, we also want to show ordinary people who are full of fear of professional wrestling that it is actually a sport that can be easily touched through our own experience. Professional wrestling isn't just for the big guys. As ordinary people, we can also approach this sport because we love it. ”
These are what Shi Zhenqiu said in an interview with USA Netork.
And after his words were transmitted to the other side of the ocean, they also set off a violent impact in the United States.
After all, even in the United States, more are ordinary people.
While you can watch professional wrestlers in action, they are still shy away from the sport.
The courage to try and challenge one's own limits is far more touching than what can be done best.
Many, many viewers even called USA Netork in the hope of broadcasting Infinite Challenge and seeing the efforts of those humble guys.
USA Netork received the feedback from the audience and immediately communicated with MBC TV to obtain permission to broadcast live.
In other words, when MBC broadcasts "Infinite Challenge", people in the United States will also be able to see this show through the USA Netork channel.
It is in the context of such a lot of attention, the days go by day by day, and the day of the final performance is getting closer and closer.
In order to present the most sincere visual enjoyment to the audience, everyone's training is also more arduous.
In the past few days, Shi Zhenqiu has been to the hospital three times.
Once because of a crack in the shoulder blade, once because of a misaligned rib, and once because of a concussion.
Like him, everyone else is trying to hold on. And everyone's efforts were also watched by the audience through the show.
Everyone believes that with such sincerity, the final stage will not disappoint everyone.
Even after working so hard, Shi Zhenqiu didn't have more time to cultivate. On days when he wasn't recording, he had other work to do.
Fortunately, the Koreans were already very desperate and tenacious, so he was able to endure it.
Like him, the T-ara girls also have this quality, and even at six o'clock in the morning, everyone still met in the company as promised.
Not only are they here, but Yoon Jong-shin, Kim Hyung-seok, and Bae Yoon-jung are also here.
Every time T-ara returns, in Mystic89, it is much more solemn than other singers.
There's no way, the investment is there, it's hundreds of millions every time, and the company is afraid.
"Ah, how sure are you about your return this time?"
It seems that he drank a lot of alcohol yesterday, so Yoon Jong-shin is not in good spirits, but he is still dutiful.
T-ara's fame has been steadily rising since her debut, and now, it is a tipping point.
Yin Zhongxin knows very well that if they can't break through that boundary this time, the level of the future will be like this.
But if you rush over, it's the same top girl group as Girls' Generation.
As president, he certainly hopes that T-ara will go one step further.
The only thing I can rely on now is Shi Zhenqiu's production ability.
Although since his debut as a music producer, he has never disappointed. But when it comes to music production, who's right?
He is also a top producer, but in the more than 20 years since his debut, there are more songs that are not popular than those that are popular.
He was really scared, this time Shi Zhenqiu lost his level.
Because the production fee that Shi Zhenqiu applied for with the company before was 800 million.
This cost is currently unparalleled among Korean singers.
You must know that Shi Zhenqiu does not charge money for making songs for T-ara, only copyright income.
After deducting his production fee, it actually cost 800 million, and Yin Zhongxin was also a little frightened.
That's why he came early in the morning to see what all the money was going on.
But hearing his question, Shi Zhenqiu was very confident.
Looking at the girls who were eager to try, as well as the frightened high-level executives, he was not humble and said something that made everyone excited.
"This time, with the return of T-ara, I have only one goal, and that is the Music Source Award, the Golden Record Music Source Award!"
In 2011, when there were so many big things, T-ara won the No. 1 music source of the year with this song.
Now Shi Zhenqiu has advanced the time of this song by about nine months, and at this time when he has no decent opponents, he really doesn't believe it, can the Music Source Awards still run?
You must know that in 2011, if it weren't for the influence of Girls' Generation's "The Boys" and the parting of ways between CCM and Melon, the song with the number one sound source of the year would not have even won a single award.
This time, there is no conflict with Melon, and there is no "the boys" of Girls' Generation, but he wants to see who can stop T-ara.
Is it just 2AM's "Death Can't Let You Go"?
Come on, without the influence of the company behind this, how can it be possible to defeat a divine comedy like "Roly poly"?
It can be said that Shi Zhenqiu is determined to win this year's Golden Record Music Awards.
As for the Record Awards, forget it.
The sales of more than 400,000 copies of Girls' Generation are really terrifying.
The tired T-ara can't reach that height, let alone cross the Super Junior.
Record Awards, the company goes to infighting.
Sure enough, hearing him mention the Music Source Awards, everyone gasped.
The six girls, in particular, were all excited, in addition to being surprised.
Can they really touch the highest honor of singers - the Golden Record Award?
Kim Hyung-seok was frightened and couldn't help but blame.
"Ah, don't be so complacent. With so many singers every year, is it so easy to get the big prize?"
He is Shi Zhenqiu's teacher, and with Shi Zhenqiu's current status, no one can reprimand him in music except him.
But the atmosphere is good, facing the teacher's questioning, Shi Zhenqiu is still in the mood to laugh.
"Teacher, you have to take it even if it's hard. Our company doesn't have this honor yet, don't you want it?"
Jin Hengxi's old face turned red, and he said in a snort: "Hmph, see if you can do it." ”
Since he said so, it means that there is no longer any more trouble.
Next, he entered the formal workflow, and Shi Zhenqiu distributed the music scores that had been prepared long ago to everyone.
But what he said had little to do with the song itself.
Everyone is professional, and there is nothing to explain in terms of scores. Shi Zhenqiu handed it over, believing that they could all do it well.
And what he wants to talk about is the problem of MV.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the MV for the title song this time is expected to be about fifteen minutes long. ”
Good guy, a word stirred up a thousand waves, and everyone who had just been quiet all blew up the temple again.
Yin Zhongxin was in a trance for a while, and finally knew why Shi Zhenqiu wanted so much production money.
"Ah, are you making a movie? A song is just over three minutes long. ”
Su Yan also spoke for the first time, and her face was very gloomy.
"No, if you want us to sing for fifteen minutes, I don't know if our physical strength can hold on. ”
Anyway, she hadn't heard of it, and who could sing a song for fifteen minutes without stopping.
Seeing that everyone had misunderstood, Shi Zhenqiu hurriedly explained.
"Ah, this song is normal, and it's only a little over three minutes. The reason why I wanted to shoot a 15-minute music video was that I was going to make a music video with a story. ”
The general MV follows the rhythm of the song, so it's very simple.
But if you add a story, then it must be extended appropriately, and it must fit the style of the song to make it look good!
