Chapter 133: The song was chosen for the exam
Koji Takeda felt depressed.
I heard that this Zhang Fan in front of him is a very wise person, after all, it is definitely a miracle to be able to do this level from scratch. But why does it seem that he doesn't even understand the most basic communication now? He has already given a hint, does Zhang Fan really not understand or pretend not to understand?
The only reason Koji Takeda, who is only in his thirties this year, was able to sit in the position of vice president of the sixth largest newspaper in Japan, where the concept of hierarchy is deeply entrenched, is that he comes from an upper-class family.
Koji Takeda is a member of the younger generation of the Fuji Sankei Group holding family. From an early age, he received an elite education abroad until he returned to China to work in the family business. After that, he rose all the way to the position of vice president.
There are indeed a lot of rich second generations who only know how to eat, drink and have fun, but those are basically the younger generation who have lost hope of inheriting the family industry. In order not to cause trouble to the brothers who were destined to take over the company, the only thing they could do was to eat, drink, and stay away from the company.
And the real elites, like Koji Takeda, are busy fighting for inheritance, and rarely have the time and mood to do those unreliable things.
It's just that there are a lot of brothers and sisters in their family. If you want to really grasp the company's success, you must come up with enough dazzling results to deter others.
A few months ago, Koji Takeda had already received news that he would swap places with his brother Taro Takeda, who was the vice president of Fuji Television Co., Ltd. Test of ability again. Compared to newspapers, Fuji TV is the core of the entire group of companies. This is definitely a rare opportunity for him.
Koji Takeda, who was preparing for a rainy day, began to prepare early, wanting to make a splash when he went to Fuji TV to join him. So as to be able to deal a heavy blow to his eldest brother, it is best to be able to kick him out of this heir war directly!
And Koji Takeda is interested in the show created by Zhang Fan who can become a millionaire!
The Japanese worship the strong and are crazy about money. Because in this era, money is the biggest powerhouse. Compared with the national draft, Japan, which has a strict hierarchy, prefers this kind of program to get rich overnight.
Koji Takeda, who has received an elite education and has a keen eye, directly saw that this show created by Zhang Fan was what he needed. If this program can be introduced to Fuji TV, then he will be in a very advantageous position in the heir war!
That's why Koji Takeda is standing here at this time. He didn't meet Zhang Fan here at all, he had been investigating at all, and Zhang Fan knew that he was eating with Lin Yueqing here at this time, so he came here on purpose.
He knew that Zhang Fan was not a fool, and the millionaire's overseas copyright must be extremely expensive. Takeda Hao's second-hand authority is estimated to be not enough to satisfy Zhang Fan's appetite, so he can only take other routes.
"The contemptible person is very sincere and wants to be friends with Mr. Zhang. "Koji Takeda has a good culture, and his charismatic appearance is indeed very attractive.
It's a pity that Zhang Fan has no interest in men. Koji Takeda's charm that makes a woman scream is worth a dime in his eyes.
"Well, I like to make friends too. Zhang Fan smiled and shook hands with Koji Takeda, his eyes were very kind, "We will get together another day, when we have time." ”
"Hearts and mouths are different. After Koji Takeda left, Lin Yueqing, who was sitting opposite Zhang Fan, suddenly said this.
"What's wrong?" Zhang Fan asked curiously.
Lin Yueqing quietly lowered her voice: "I just saw you wipe your hands after shaking hands with that Japanese." ”
"Oh. Zhang Fan smiled: "There is no reason why the Chinese hate the Japanese. ”
For the next period of time, in addition to hosting the Who Can Become a Millionaire program, Zhang Fan's main work energy was focused on the new album.
The speed of renewal in the entertainment industry is very terrifying. If there is no topic and no work for a while, no matter how famous it was, it will quickly drown in the endless wave of newcomers.
Zhang Fan may not have to worry about his life now. But he is unwilling to give up the systematic task of becoming the top star. This is also what he himself wants.
Zhang Fan is preparing to make a regular album containing more than a dozen songs seriously this time. And this time, he is going to give Dong Chou's good songs enough for one-time consumption. The title song has been selected as Xingqing, and the album also contains many classic songs by Chou Dong, such as Coral Sea, Black Sweater, etc.
Zhang Fan's meaning is very simple, that is, he wants to take advantage of this opportunity to use the Chinese style craze he set off to consume Dong Chou's classic works, so as to obtain the greatest benefits for himself.
Jay Chou's album sales of nearly 30 million copies are not a joke. Even if Zhang Fan didn't completely copy all his songs, if he just integrated those most popular songs, he could at least have nearly half of the sales. And such huge album sales have brought a huge rise in fame. This is what Zhang Fan needs most now.
However, when recording the album, Zhang Fan received several special guests in his office.
"Mr. Zhang, it's a pleasure. A middle-aged man wearing gold-rimmed glasses and an official on his body stretched out his hand to Zhang Fan with a smile.
"Hello, Director Zheng. Zhang Fan warmly beckoned a few people to sit down.
This visit is an official figure, and Zhang Fan will naturally not slack off. But what he couldn't understand was why someone from the Ministry of Education came to him? He had nothing to do with the Ministry of Education.
After Li Ruhui finished serving tea, she also stood aside with a curious face.
"I came here to take the liberty of paying a visit this time because I wanted to discuss something with Mr. Zhang. Director Zheng didn't say much nonsense, but went straight to the point, "This year's college entrance examination is coming, and the teachers in charge of the paper deliberately want to use Mr. Zhang's previous songs as questions." So we're here today to talk about it. ”
"Ah~~~" Zhang Fan nodded slightly, now he understood.
"Mr. Zhang's Chinese-style songs are full of Chinese cultural charm, which can be used in the test questions to test the students' Chinese literacy. "Director Zheng is a member of the Ministry of Education, and he speaks with a polite and polite atmosphere," so many teachers who published the papers were very supportive. ”
This is not something that cannot be agreed with, Dong Chou's songs were indeed used in the title of the book before. I didn't expect to have the same treatment after coming to the parallel world. However, there is copyright in this world, and if you want to use Zhang Fan's songs as exam questions, you must at least have his consent.
"It's fine. "It's a good thing, and being able to get your songs in front of millions of candidates is a great help to your reputation. Zhang Fan naturally would not refuse.
"I don't know which song you are going to use as the exam question?" Zhang Fan asked curiously. He is also a person who has been tortured by the college entrance examination, and the mountain-like pressure of the exam that year makes him unforgettable. Now that his song can be selected into the exam questions, Zhang Fan is naturally very interested in wanting to know which song it is?
"Well~~~" Director Zheng looked at Zhang Fan with some embarrassment, "This is the college entrance examination, so anything related to the exam questions cannot be leaked." ”
"Understood. Zhang Fan nodded again and again, "It's me who is presumptuous." ”
"Hehe~~~" Zhang Fan is not only a well-known star, but also a billionaire. Even if he is a director, he has to be cautious.
After a pause, Director Zheng continued, "Since Mr. Zhang is willing to authorize the use of your songs as exam questions. Then there are some things that I still have to talk to Mr. Zhang. ”
"Please. Zhang Fan raised his hand and made a gesture of please.
"It's mostly about secrecy. Director Zheng beckoned, and the entourage on the side took a document and put it in front of Zhang Fan, "Under normal circumstances, the questioners are to be gathered and placed in a secret place until the end of the college entrance examination." However, Mr. Zhang is busy with affairs and is not the real author of the question, so he only needs to sign a confidentiality agreement. ”
"That's fine. "Zhang Fan understands the necessity of doing this" This can be signed. ”
"The stakes are too high to be leaked out no matter what. Director Zheng's face was calm: "I can't even mention it." ”
"I understand that. Zhang Fan knows that this kind of thing involves a lot, and once he leaks it, he will definitely add trouble to himself, "I don't remember this matter after I got out of this room." ”
"Then we will thank Mr. Zhang for his help. Director Zheng got up with a smile and shook hands with Zhang Fan to say goodbye.
"It's not going to do any good, and it's going to be very troublesome. After Director Zheng and his entourage left, Li Ruhui spoke, "Once any news leaks out, there will be a lot of follow-up things." And I didn't say anything about what I used, and I didn't mention the cost of using the copyright. ”
Zhang Fan smiled and shook his head, not explaining anything. What he really cared about was that it would bring him a lot of fame gain. After all, so many candidates can see his songs become topics, which will naturally increase his fame. Not to mention that the announcement of the questions after the end of the exam will trigger a more enthusiastic response.
As for the copyright royalties or something, Zhang Fan doesn't care anymore.
Even if you give royalties, how much can you give? Zhang Fan can't afford to pay a little money now, and it is insignificant compared to the role of enhancing his reputation.
Album recording is not difficult, Zhang Fan now has A-level professional skills, and recording songs is very easy for him.
And this time, unlike the previous Chinese-style mini album that was hurriedly launched in a hurry, Zhang Fan is now able to recruit a group of professionals to join the album company soon after he has money and time.
Once you have people, the rest of the equipment is not a problem. Especially under Zhang Fan's investment regardless of the cost, the recording studio with the world's most advanced equipment was quickly established.
Zhang Fan had also planned to buy a production line for filling CDs to make his own albums. It was only strongly opposed by Li Ruhui that he gave up.
Li Ruhui's reason for opposition is very simple, Zhang Fan's company now only has Zhang Fan as a singer, and once a complete set of production lines is purchased, plus installation and commissioning, hiring workers, and opening up sales channels, etc., all aspects of the matter are done. After investing a lot of money, is it just for Zhang Fan to serve alone? Could it be that Zhang Fan can keep releasing albums all year round?
If there is not enough start-up, the entire production line can only be idle for a long time. That's not the attitude a company should have.
Zhang Fan accepted this reason, but he did not completely give up on this matter. [.]
