Chapter 161: No Steps

The song "Red Dragonfly", the arrangement that Fan Cheng took out is the Little Tiger version, to put it simply, it is an idol song, no singing skills, and it does not require much ability to interpret the song, it is a simple and simple good song, this kind of good song is extremely desired by almost all music companies, because this kind of song can be sung almost no matter who you give it to, unlike some songs, which must be released by someone within a certain time to be popular.

As for the other one......

"Looking back slowly, the night ...... that once belonged to each other" As soon as Fan Cheng's Cantonese voice sounded, Wei Haonan's assistant froze.

The assistant of the northerner can't understand Cantonese, but good music is good music, even if he can't understand it, at least he can listen to it, this is a classic song!

What a pity! These two songs...... Do you really want to throw it away?

Thirty minutes later, Wei Haonan, who was out, returned to the company, and just sat down for a while, the assistant walked in.

"Director, the entertainment channel sent two alternative tracks for "Creation is King"......"

""Creation is King"? Fan Cheng? Didn't I tell you that I would send it over there and throw it away directly? Did you forget your ears at home at that time?!" Wei Haonan asked angrily.

He came back with a stomach full of anger, and he just went out to meet the people of Global Liu Zhanyun, Fan Cheng's program is a threat to the song collection system of major companies, so in recent days, Time Warner and EMI Records have been colluding to prevent the broadcast of the program, but it is not easy for the music company to affect the TV circle, and even prevent the broadcast of a normal program, even if their company has such influence in the Chinese music scene, so the two companies want to connect the same three major companies.

But Liu Zhanyun's control on the global side has no interest in restricting Fan Cheng, but they are fully preparing to participate in Fan Cheng's show, which makes the other two companies very angry, and they both feel that Liu Zhanyun's behavior is very short-sighted.

came back with an upset, and the assistant came over to block him again, how could Wei Haonan not be angry.

"But, Superintendent, would you like to listen first?" said the assistant.

"What do you listen to! What is there to hear! You are not sensible, are your ears also broken? He's just a garbage variety show! Don't take him too seriously!"

"But ......"

"Don't do it, throw it away, throw it away for me!" Wei Haonan said angrily.

The assistant listened, so he had no choice but to walk out.

But just after he pushed the door open, this young man who had worked hard in music for ten years but achieved nothing, and felt that his future had no chance in the confusion, but because of Wei Haonan, he had the young man who continued to stay in the circle, at least still doing music-related work, made a decision.

He turned around and came to Wei Haonan again and said, "Director, I know you're angry now, but I still think you should listen to it first! Otherwise, you will definitely regret it in the future, and you will blame me for not insisting on showing it to you now!"

"You ......!" Wei Haonan saw that his little assistant said this, and he couldn't scold him or refuse anymore, so he had to watch him press the play button after preparing the audio equipment.

"Red Dragonfly" rang, and after listening to it for about thirty seconds, Wei Haonan glanced at his little assistant in surprise.

He also realized that it was definitely a good song.

Wei Haonan then gave up scolding, sat down and quietly listened to Fan Cheng's singing in the audio.

"This is his strength? He can do things so arrogantly, and Liu Zhanyun can suppress the company's opposition and support Fan Cheng, is it because of this song......? Next, I'm afraid there will be a scramble around this song, this Fan Cheng is also interesting, listening to his voice is quite good, such a good song, I don't sing it but take it out to others. ”

After singing "Red Dragonfly", Wei Haonan just wanted to speak, and the assistant next to him said: "Wait, don't say anything first, listen to the next song!

The next song?Isn't the first song the best?Can't be?

Wei Haonan reflexively wanted to deny.

But soon, the second song "Song of a Thousand Thousand Que" reached his ears.

The first sentence of "This song ......" sounded, and Wei Haonan paused

"In a moment, there are too many things to talk about, but unfortunately they are about to be on one side, so I have to stare deeply at this moment......"

"Isn't he only 23 years old!? This sense of parting, this feeling of sadness but not pain, how did he do it!?"

Then, move on to the chorus.

"The coming day is a thousand songs, floating on my road in the distance, and the coming day is thousands of stars, brighter than the moon tonight......"

"I can't compare to the beauty of this night, and I can't wash what I think tonight, ah...... Because you sing with me tonight......"

Wei Haonan's open mouth was almost difficult to close.

As a big man in music, of course Wei Haonan can hear more things than assistants, Fan Cheng's second song is mature and complete from lyrics to music to screenwriting, the faint melancholy in the song seems so moving in the singing, although Fan Cheng's interpretation can not be regarded as a full score, but ninety points are also available, this is a classic, compared with this song, although the melody of the last song is also excellent, but the arrangement always feels a little naïve, in terms of song quality, obviously the quality of this song is even better!

Moreover, although she thought it was the first time she had heard Fan Cheng's song, Wei Haonan found that she always felt as if she had heard Fan Cheng's voice somewhere, which was a strange feeling, this voice always felt familiar, but Fan Cheng obviously had never sung elsewhere, which made people very curious......

The feeling of déjà vu only existed in Wei Haonan's mind for a moment, and now is obviously not the time to think about that, the key is Fan Cheng and Fan Cheng's works.

Wei Haonan patted the assistant next to him first and said, "Thanks to you today, you are right, if I miss these two songs, I will definitely regret it!"

"Then are we going to send someone to Fan Cheng's show?"

"This ......," Wei Haonan struggled.

He and Warner have already said many times that they will not participate in Fan Cheng's show, but fame is fame, when faced with such excellent songs......

"Director, if this song is so good to be sung by the right people, with our ability, it may be an album with more than 5 million sales, we can't miss it!"

Five million sales is an iconic number in the Chinese music circle, and beyond that, the album will leave a name in the entire history of the Chinese music circle.

"But ......"

Reputation and credibility are still very important, the larger the company, the more important this is, and the lack of credibility will be despised, or even lose integrity.

"Let's take a look, let's take a look at the development behind it, see what the entertainment channel says, and see how Liu Zhanyun reacts. Wei Haonan still didn't make up his mind in the end.

"Superintendent, what about the candidates!?The candidates for the participants? If we don't prepare first, even if you make up your mind later, maybe we won't have a chance to find another person!"

"That's it, I won't open this mouth, you go and take the lead, see if there are people in our company who are suitable for these two songs, if they are suitable, let them go into the studio to try it, but it must be done in private, on the surface we will continue as usual. ”

Wei Haonan's reaction represents the reaction of the vast majority of producers in Huaxia, Fan Cheng's two new songs are absolutely not of quality, so most of the companies that said they would never participate before regretted it in the end, many companies want to get these two songs, but the small company is okay, just find a reason to participate, but your big company can't be so simple and untrustworthy.

So in the next few days, the big companies in the circle have slightly changed their evaluation of the comprehensive entertainment channel.

"Fan Cheng's approach is very inappropriate, but music can't be playful at all......"

"We're not besieging Fan Cheng, we're just discussing. ”

"Fan Cheng's shows have always been good-looking, so I believe his future works will be very good. ”

Keen viewers quickly discovered the change in the meaning of the music company, how could the entertainment channel itself not be aware of it, not to mention, on the surface, it is like this, but in private, the major companies behind it have released a lot of goodwill, and the entertainment channel has received a lot of news from the company's negotiations in just two days.

In the eyes of many companies, they have done this, as long as the comprehensive entertainment channel gives a step, everyone can come down, and everyone will be happy when the time comes, let's go to your field, isn't it good to have money to make money together? But Fan Cheng and the Comprehensive Entertainment Channel don't seem to think so, they don't seem to have heard the goodwill released by the major companies at all, they don't react to these voices, and they don't seem to care about the thoughts of the major companies at all.

The entertainment channel went even further, and soon they issued an announcement that the application for participation in the new show must be completed within this week, and after this week, the show will start preparing for filming, so the application for these two songs will not be opened again!

Now all the music companies that are still waiting are big.

Many people think that it is just a song, and it is necessary for major companies to be like they have been grabbed by someone?

Actually, it's not just a matter of one song.

Five million sales is not a problem for major companies, in Fan Cheng's time and space, neither piracy nor the influence of the Internet has reached the point of affecting record sales, not to mention the three major record companies, and even some medium-sized companies have a total sales of more than 10 million or even 20 million all year round, and five million sales cannot make people break their bones.

But what is really terrible is that the five million sales are brought by a song, a song can be popular not to mention a person, the social phenomenon that a five million sales song can bring is also very exaggerated and huge, the singer's clothing, speaking habits, accessories, etc. may become popular in the season, this person's other peripheral products will be hot, this person's concerts, commercial performances, and the staff around this person will get a huge boost, the surface sales of a song seem to be only that number, but the peripheral value generated around a popular song is huge, which is something that the five million sales of those few or even dozens of singers combined will never be able to achieve.

But an entertainment company, only a small part of them will always become popular, most of the other artists, their salaries, training expenses, salaries of the staff who serve them, etc., are all losses, and now the two songs that Fan Cheng has come up with can make two people popular.

Many music companies also realized at this time that Fan Cheng's program is becoming more and more influential in the Chinese entertainment circle, and when the news of the new program comes out, everyone will pay attention to it, and their scolding has also contributed to the attention of Fan Cheng's program, which can be said to be the promotion of his program, and the better his program is promoted, the greater the attention he will receive after his high-quality new songs come out.

And these are given by Fan Cheng's program, that is to say, for major companies, they only need to produce a singer!

There is no need to make waves in a large number of garbage songs, collect thousands of songs to give birth to such a good song, and there is no need to constantly introduce new talents, constantly try the direction of the market, the audience's preferences, and constantly spend money on training, packaging, training, and performances like consumables...... For major companies, these two aspects account for almost the largest part of their annual spending, and now they don't need it at all, or only pay a small fraction of it!

It can be said that Fan Cheng's program has reduced the risk and investment of becoming popular to the greatest extent!

That's the most sought-after thing!

For the big three record labels, they have other concerns.

The so-called three major record companies are talking about their capital and production capabilities, but those who do the entertainment industry, to a certain extent, rely on the sky, and the best works are definitely more likely to be popular, but there are still many works that are very weird, the so-called three major record companies, maybe when they will not be popular, when the trend passes, the company will encounter great difficulties, and under them, there are a large number of medium-sized record companies eyeing them anytime and anywhere.

For the big three companies, every song that has the potential to become popular and doesn't even require a lot of other investment is equally important, and it's ...... Even if I can't get it, you don't want to get it! Even if the three of us can't get it, don't think about those medium-sized companies that are qualified to threaten us!

That's the idea behind the big three record labels, as for the effort to get these two songs privately?

How could they not have done it, when Fan Cheng took out two songs to show Liu Zhanyun, Liu Zhanyun almost had to go back to ask the company boss for a blank check, but Fan Cheng's insistence finally made him give up trying.

"Brother, you see that I seem to be making music, in fact, to put it bluntly, I am still doing variety shows, these two songs are very important to you, but for me they are props for variety shows, maybe selling them directly to you can make me personally make a lot of money, but the millions you gave me are really comparable to the benefits that our TV station gets in this show?"
