Chapter 105: Variety Production Company
seems to be deliberately compared with "Graduation", "Full of Memories" also chose to release two song singles, and even the price was set at the price of eight yuan. In addition to "Full of Memories", another song on this single is also a graduation song carefully selected by Fan Cheng, "Cherry".
It's not Ai Otsuka's "Cherry", it's not Yui's "Cherry", it's Spitz's "Cherry".
This is also a very classic song that can be counted among the graduation songs.
"I can't forget you on the road of twists and turns......"
"The rising sun and the yellow sand ...... through dreams"
"Gone are the days of tickling and wrestling each other......"
"There must be an unimaginable hustle and bustle waiting for me......"
"With the echo of the words I love you, I feel like I can get stronger......"
"Graduation" is indeed a good song, but the quality of "Full of Memories" and this "Cherry" is not bad at all, coupled with a healthy and uplifting song style, it almost instantly occupied the more conservative media such as television and radio.
Thus, a delicate situation was formed.
On TV, radio and even paper media without sound, the momentum of "Full of Memories" completely suppressed "Graduation", but in addition to these traditional media, in the Internet and reality, it is actually "Graduation" that is more dominant.
But no matter which side you support, you can't completely suppress the other side, so the struggle over which song is better and about the two songs continues.
In this heated discussion, the publishers of the two songs undoubtedly benefited the most.
The sales of more than 200,000 in the first week of "Graduation" were just the beginning, and in the second week, the topic continued to ferment, and the sales almost exceeded 400,000, ranking third on the sales list of the week.
But on "Graduation", just a few days after its release, "Full of Memories", which was in the limelight, ranked second with a score of more than 400,000, and on top of the two singles, there was only one veteran male singer named Lu Zhixin.
Huaxia's music sales, at this time, the popularity of a song usually lasts for one to two months, with the current momentum, the sales of both songs can break one million or even challenge two million, although it is only two singles that cost eight yuan, but even so, Fan Cheng's income is already very good.
Fan Cheng, who directly gets a share instead of salary, can get 15% for "Graduation" and about 5% for "Full of Memories", the former can earn two yuan, and the latter can earn four cents, and the two songs conservatively count the sales of three million, Fan Cheng can get an income of about 2.4 million!
It's almost impossible for a newcomer to any company to get this high income!
That is to say, Fan Cheng relied on the fact that he did not need the company's investment training and publicity at all to have the confidence to propose such an abnormal contract.
Of course, there are drawbacks to this approach, and in doing so, you and the record company are just a thorough cooperative relationship, and the company will not treat you as its own, and the company will never help you if you encounter any problems.
Now the outside world only knows that Insincere and X signed Universal and Sihai Records respectively, the two singers' two graduation songs are showing signs of each other, and the Internet and TV are all noisy, and the two companies also think that Fan Cheng is just taking his own share, if these people know that Fan Cheng plays two roles alone, takes advantage of the public's attention, and earns sales and popularity without spending a penny, I'm afraid even their jaws will be scared.
It's not that Fan Cheng hasn't taken so much money, he made the first million in a lot of time, but the money he has earned so far has been earned by the TV station, strictly speaking, the TV station is not his, and the more than two million are all at his own disposal.
After the release is completed, the work of music will come to an end, and as for the performance, running business, going to the party, maybe he will think about it if he is in a good mood, but that also requires him to have time, and there are still a lot of things waiting for him to do on the TV station.
The comprehensive entertainment channel has now been split into several groups, and the operation has begun to get on the right track, and Fan Cheng is beginning to consider splitting the business.
Fan Cheng's plan is to spin off the part of the variety entertainment channel that originally belonged to the production of variety shows, and set up a company specializing in the production of various variety shows, this company belongs to the creator but has an equal relationship with the variety entertainment channel and the Yoshimoto theater troupe.
After such a spin-off, in addition to the clearer rights and clearer ownership, there is also a good point that this variety show production company can take over work other than the variety entertainment channel.
This is Fan Cheng's greatest purpose.
There is a very realistic thing that although Huaxia allows private TV stations, but TV stations are such a thing, unless all TV stations are private, it is difficult for your private TV stations to compare with national TV stations, and the opportunity is not impossible, but you need several years and decades of hard work to finally achieve this goal, even if you are a traverser.
Therefore, those things in Fan Cheng's mind will eventually be given to those national TV stations, because in his own small TV station, no matter how good you do the program, it is useless, because there are too few people watching, and 90% of Yangji City's share is nothing more than two or three million people, and 1% of the nationwide ratings, that is, tens of millions of people are signed in the viewership, not to mention that Yangji City has a limit, and the highest ratings share is 100%, not to mention that 100% is impossible.
As for the upgrade of the TV station? Don't look at the promotion from the comprehensive entertainment channel to the municipal level in half a year or even the provincial level in a year, but that is only the provincial level, quasi-national and national level, it is not so easy to get the broadcast permission nationwide, to get the national broadcast permission, it takes years of ratings and evaluation accumulation.
Of course, the private TV station is not useless for Fan Cheng, otherwise he would not have been working hard to upgrade and produce these things, as I said before, the comprehensive entertainment channel is the basic plate of him and the Yoshimoto theater troupe, which is where they exercise and learn.
The new variety show production company, Fan Cheng named "V&E", which means "Variety &Entertainment" variety show and entertainment, the establishment of this company is mainly to operate the production of various variety shows, in Fan Cheng's plan, the daily operation of the creator group will be handed over to his younger brother in the future, and his main work is carried out in this V&E.
Almost no one in the industry cares about the establishment of V&E, in the eyes of the outside world, this is nothing more than a small variety show production company, or is it affiliated with a small company that has just been upgraded to a municipal TV station, such a company does not know how many births and deaths are born and died every year in the country, and no one pays attention to them one by one.
The new company that was quietly established is doing variety shows produced by almost no professional companies in China, everything in the company is still being explored, the current employees in the company, except for Fan Cheng, almost do not have much concept of what to do in the future, these people are basically from the entertainment channel, and their vision so far is to do their own small variety shows on the entertainment channel.
Among these programs, the biggest investment and stage is "Food Showdown", even if it is this show, that is, in Yangji, it is just a little star to shoot it by himself, in terms of real investment, it is far from the budget of tens of millions of yen for a program in the previous life "Food Showdown", and the variety show that Fan Cheng wants to do in the future is a variety show that is broadcast at the national level.
Because everyone didn't quite understand, Fan Cheng also started the business himself, and his first destination was the magic capital.
came out to receive Fan Cheng and Cheng Gaoge, and got the director of Dragon TV's variety show.
"Fan Cheng, I'm sorry, our station has no plans to do a new show recently. The director said after listening to Fan Cheng's plan.
"Do you have any plans to produce other programs? Variety shows seem to me to be a kind of production method that can knead all kinds of TV programs together, this is the information of our "Good Morning Yangji", I named this kind of program information variety shows, in fact, other kinds of programs can also be produced in the form of variety shows, if you are interested......
"Good morning Yangji, is it a program that has a 70% share in the local area just one month after it was broadcast recently?" the director had obviously heard about it.
"Yes. Fan Cheng said.
"You're doing a good job on this show, but it's also a variety show?"
"It's like this in our distinction, how about it? Even CCTV sent people to study this program. Fan Cheng recommended.
"Is that so, okay I see, you can leave the information first, and we'll discuss it. ”
Coming out of Dragon TV, Fan Cheng said to Cheng Gaoge beside him: "Let's go to the next target, there is no chance here." ”
"Is this certain?" Cheng Gaoge asked.
"Dragon TV is one of the five provincial satellite TV stations in the country, but their real variety show time period is only four hours from 8 o'clock to 10 o'clock on Saturday and Sunday, we are new to the city, and it is very difficult to compete directly in this time slot, so I mentioned that other types of programs can also be, and Dragon TV will definitely be very taboo for our forces to participate too much in their TV stations, and control the production of their two TV programs in one go, which is very difficult for Dragon TV to accept. ”
"So where are we going next?" asked Cheng Gaoge.
"Let's go to Sunan. Fan Cheng said.
There are five provincial-level TV stations in China, namely Dongfang, Imperial Capital, Southern Jiangsu, Northern Jiangsu and Mango, these five TV stations are at the top of provincial TV stations all year round in terms of investment and ratings, and the satellite TV stations of the two municipalities directly under the central government, Oriental and Imperial Satellite TV have just rejected them, Imperial Capital TV is too deeply affected by CCTV, and Mango TV has the top variety show production capacity in China now, and it is almost impossible to accept a program from an outside variety show production company, so there is a possibility, that is, two TV stations in southern Jiangsu and northern Jiangsu.
