Chapter 103: A New Song Broadcasts

Although Liu Zhanyun is only a music director in the world, he still has a vision for so many years of music-related work, and he quickly saw through Fan Cheng's intentions at a glance.

But what he can't see through is that X and Insincerity are the same person, so X and Insincerity can cooperate with each other, tacitly "hype" related topics!

Liu Zhanyun quickly made the decision to sign a contract with "Insincerity" on behalf of Universal, and the conditions for signing the contract were very relaxed, with Wen Zhen (and Wen Jia)'s mother coming forward, plus another lawyer who knew the true identity of Insincerity as a witness and supervisor, on behalf of the invisible "Insincerity" behind the scenes, signed with Universal, and the owner of the identity of "Insincerity" promised to release at least ten new songs in Universal and not to sign contracts with other companies in the identity of Insincerity before releasing enough ten new songs.

On the other hand, Universal does not need to pay wages to "insincerity", nor does it need to provide any resources including recording, venue, and training to insincerity.

In terms of remuneration, after the release of insincere new songs, the lyrics and songs can get a 2% share, and the singing will not be shared, but correspondingly, if you participate in the performance work, you can get a relatively higher remuneration.

As for the artists whose identities are not disclosed, what kind of performance work do they have...... Who told you not to reveal your identity, but at least you can still appear on the radio station......

After signing the contract with Universal, Fan Cheng paid professional musicians to do the accompaniment of the song, and after spending three full days thoroughly polishing it, the final version of the new song was sent to Universal Music, and then the release and promotion were their job.

According to the discussed plan, three days later, the new song will premiere on the music program of Huaxia Central Radio, and then the resources mastered by the global side will recommend this song as soon as possible, and connect with X's "Graduation" between the lines, and hype this song through "Graduation", which has not yet passed.

In another ten days, Insincerity will hand over the second song he wrote to Universal, and the two songs will be released together as Insincerity's first new single.

And on the other hand, what the Globe doesn't know is.

Fan Cheng has already contacted Wang Deli of Sihai Records on the other side, and a week later, X's single "Graduation" will be put on the shelf, although Sihai Records itself has no record sales channels, but after all, it is a record company relying on the Northern Group, although it does not have the ability to publicize on a large scale, it is still possible to distribute records to the whole country, of course, the area is enough, the thickness may not be, even if "Graduation" This song is very popular now, but it is still in a wait-and-see state for most record stores, and many small record stores are just three or five copies of the stock, who knows when this rebellious, no publicity, and even the singer's faceless song will be out of breath!

In this way, when Universal Music and Sihai Records did not know each other, the operation of Fan Cheng's two identities by the two companies began.

A few days later, China Central Radio broadcast the "Trendy Music" program at 11 o'clock in the evening.

The host of the show said: "What everyone heard just now is the very popular "Graduation" in recent days, I think everyone knows that this is the work of the mysterious singer X, right? ”

"I've seen a comment that it's only this kind of anger and rebellion that can give birth to such good music. First of all, I want to say that the mainstream music industry recognizes the quality of this song, but I don't think it's appropriate to say that only anger and rebellion can give birth to good music, haven't we also heard so many healthy and uplifting music that is beautiful at the same time?"

"But what I'm going to introduce to you today is not actually this song, but another one. ”

"I don't know if you have heard Wen Zhen's song "See Cooking Smoke Again", it is undoubtedly a good music, right? What about this song compared to "Graduation"? Some people may say that the style and type of the two songs are completely different, so there is no comparison, but now the opportunity has come, the author of the song "See Cooking Smoke Again" has signed a contract with Universal Music, and his new song "Full of Memories" is also the style of the graduation song, below, let's listen to this song full of youthful feeling, but very beautiful... "Full of Memories"!"

Fan Cheng's clear and gentle voice sounded leisurely.

Fan Cheng, who has specialized in learning imitation and has a strong ability to imitate, even if the two songs are put together, no one still connects the singers of the two songs, but this is also understandable, the styles of the two songs are so different, let alone the connection, I am afraid that many people will not be willing to believe even if they know the truth.

It is said that when I suddenly heard this song "Full of Memories" after listening to the song "Graduation", the feeling was like just eating a spicy hot pot and starting to chew gum, which was still mint-flavored, and the fresh impact made the nerve center dizzy for a while!

After listening to the whole song, even many people realized that the future of these two songs ...... It's not peaceful!

Two songs with almost identical themes are presented in completely different ways, and the supporters of the two songs have a natural confrontation.

The reality is indeed not what they expected, the day after the broadcast of "Full of Memories", there was a loud quarrel on the Internet.

Including Shen Yanbin, Shen Lemin and others, they really want a good song to be on X, but they don't, Shen Yanbin's so-called new album, especially the rock song, is actually of average quality, but it's useless to scold this song, all those who hate the song "Graduation" are actually desperate for a song that is not inferior to this song in quality, but is more normal, healthy and uplifting.

It is in this context that the insincere "Full of Memories" came.

This song, this song, the same genre but a completely different style, it's perfect! There is no song more suitable for comparison than this one!

At the same time, there are also people who support X's song "Graduation", among young people, there are many who like "Full of Memories", but I am afraid that there are more people who like "Graduation", because young people happen to be at a rebellious age, and most of those who like the former are very well-behaved, and even some introverted children, such children are usually weaker than those who are rebellious and extroverted in terms of expression, so among young people, it is obvious that the support for "Graduation" is greater.

As for the adults and traditional forces, of course, they are more supportive of "Full of Memories", and they even ignore the faint tendency of early love in the song, compared with early love, smoking, drinking, fighting, and scolding rebellion are obviously more dangerous.

And the "allies" of the children are the rock forces.

Many of the people who play rock and roll themselves have rebellious thoughts, not to mention that the quality of this "Graduation" is so high, although some people who are engaged in rock and roll do not express their opinions because of the relationship between Shen Yanbin and Kong Ming Lantern Band, more rock and roll people have given high praise to this "Graduation", and even some of the juniors of Kong Ming Lantern Band bluntly said that Kong Ming Lantern Band and lead singer Lu Zhi are destroying rock and roll, saying that the new song they wrote for Shen Yanbin completely violates the spirit of rock and roll.

In the beginning, there was no doubt that adults and conservative forces had the upper hand, after all, in society, this kind of voice has always been the mainstream.

And what about the rebellious kids and the rock camp? They don't even have a clearer version of "Graduation", all that has been circulating on the Internet and in the media so far is a short video shot by the family camera, and even the details of many songs are blurred because of the surrounding sounds, which inherently makes the rebellion on the side of "Graduation" much quieter.

Fortunately, Fan Cheng is not ready to make them wait for a long time, maybe the limelight will pass after waiting for a long time, and soon X's new songs will be on the shelves and will start selling.

The vast majority of music sales in China are in the form of albums, with an album of ten songs, and CDs selling for more than 30 to 60 yuan, and tapes are cheaper, as for the so-called thin discs or singles, few artists will sell music like this, and buyers do not have the habit of buying two or three songs and selling singles for more than ten yuan.

But this time, X's "Graduation" was sold in this way.

In fact, it is not that Fan Cheng deliberately wants to learn the common form of single release in Japan, but he doesn't have time to record ten songs.

As for Wang Deli's side, although he knows that there is no habit of buying singles in China, he also understands that the precious opportunity is fleeting, and now is the most fierce time for the supporters of the two songs "Graduation" and "Full of Memories".

In the end, the album, titled "Graduation", did not feature any characters on the cover, except for a single with a photo of a cherry blossom tree provided by Fan Cheng and was sold at an ultra-low price of eight yuan.

Even in 2000, the price was still very low.

In the single disc of "Graduation", in addition to the main song "Graduation", Fan Cheng also added another song, this song is also Yutaka Ozaki's song "15-year-old night", in fact, if you want to talk about pop rock, Fan Cheng can take out a lot, Nantian Stars, B'z, X JAPAN and so on...... But in the end, he still chose Yutaka Ozaki, and even Yutaka Ozaki, he still chose songs like "Fifteen-Year-Old Night" full of middle two flavors instead of his more popular and better songs.

Because the style of the single must be balanced, this single is to promote a rebellious song like "Graduation", if you force a song with other distinctive characteristics, the quality of the song is good, and then it will be a little bad to dominate.

Of course, the quality of the song "Fifteen-Year-Old Night" is far inferior to those other alternative classics, but as the B side of the single, there is no problem at all, and the single disc of the two songs, the price of eight yuan is already very conscientious.
