Chapter 169: Snatching the Song
The fierce snatching of people, no, it was the song rush that broke out on the side of the brokers of major companies.
If you shout out 0.8% of the album's sales share, I'll shout 5% The single sales share, sincerely said that the difference between the numbers of the two shares is not big, the single is not comparable to the album in terms of sales numbers and quantity, and in terms of publicity costs, the publicity cost of a single is not very different from the album, which is also one of the reasons why Huaxia is reluctant to release a single, such as releasing an album, you can set multiple waves of main hits, each wave of publicity once, a total of about one or two months of publicity period, for example, spend two million, if you release a single in the same period, you can only promote the main hit of a song, a publicity period of about two weeks, but the money spent may not be able to collect one million。
Many publicity channels are also like buying things, the more you buy, the less money you spend.
For the audience, watching this kind of excitement is exactly what they are looking forward to the most.
The producers of major companies have tried their best to grab people, and Fan Cheng, who provided the first episode of the song, naturally wants to give a good start to the subsequent production, what is the most taboo in the filming of such a show? The most taboo thing is that the participants make their own decisions before making a decision, even if the participants have really made a decision, then he must not say it, Fan Cheng is implementing this perfectly, and even said that in fact, he had a general idea of who could get the work in the end before the show started, but he would never say this, and he was struggling with a face in the show, as if he couldn't make a final decision at all.
When all the agents finished speaking, most of the audience also had their own summary.
Universal Records sent Qin Xiao, who is not suitable for age, but his popularity after debuting for many years is the highest among these people, if he sings, the sales base of the record is relatively guaranteed, and the share price given by Universal is also excellent, 1% of the album sales share is the highest among the big record companies in China, which stems from the good cooperative relationship between Fan Cheng and Universal.
Another example is Warner's Mr. Zuo, his age and appearance should be the most in line with Fan Cheng's original intention and closest to his image of the World Tigers. At the company level, although the figures given by Warner are not high, they are quite good, these record shares, for the past musicians, songwriters are very powerful, to say that the shares, some big producers also have, but most of the producers who have not mixed to that level, the creators are directly a fixed price of copyright purchase fees, sales shares?
But after this show came out, the most cheering should be these producers, but on the other hand, the music company can't say how much they like this kind of sales sharing, what is the biggest contradiction between musicians and music companies under this sharing system? Musicians get very little money before they become popular, and unless there are good works, the company will increase your share.
On the music company's side, a large number of songs is a big investment, so the music company can't say that it likes this system, but because the company can't completely guarantee whether the song is popular, it chooses this way of operation.
Therefore, on Fan Cheng's program, the major music companies simply chose to divide Fan Cheng's works, because everyone believes that there is a very high quality of songs, and there are programs as publicity, and these two disclosed songs will definitely be popular.
As for Huang Yuan of Huang's Records, he should be regarded as a dark horse in the show.
Chang Yuangang's version of "Red Dragonfly", at first Fan Cheng didn't really want to take it out, because in terms of influence and sales, it must be that young people like Mr. Qin Xiaozuo are better, although Huang Yuan sings well, but sales and influence are very important after all.
Taking out this version of "Red Dragonfly", even if it is not released in the end, it will definitely affect sales, because this version of the "forced style" is high enough, and it will be higher than those idol arrangements in the music contempt chain, and in this contempt, there will definitely be some fans who originally liked it and planned to buy the idol version to buy it.
This is what Fan Cheng does not want to see.
But who made Huang Yuan appear.
His experience, his voice, and even his appearance are very close to Fan Cheng's impression of the Chang Yugang version, with such a suitable candidate, Fan Cheng has as many songs in his mind as he wants, so he simply took out this song.
These three people should be the main contenders for this song, as for the competitors sent by several other companies, they either have a similar image but are defeated by these three people, or they are a little bad at performing, and their singing skills or image do not meet the requirements.
But several other companies didn't play a role, and seeing that the players of their own companies might find it difficult to get the songs, these companies all made a decision.
Almost all of these company's agents have turned to recommend Mr. Zuo sent by Warner!
In fact, although there is a difference in age between Mr. Zuo and Qin Xiao of the world, strictly speaking, the image is also similar, among these two people, I choose to recommend Mr. Zuo, although the agents of each company are saying that the age image is appropriate, but almost all the people present actually understand in their hearts that what they think in their hearts is not this.
"You can't give it to anyone and you can't give it to Universal!" is probably the tacit consensus of everyone except Universal in this episode of the show.
And Time Warner's response was also very fast, and at the last moment, after the agent called the company to ask for approval, they raised the final share to the same amount as Universal's 1%, which is considered to have the same competitiveness as Universal's in this regard.
After all kinds of comparisons and considerations, and the full efforts of various companies, the first part of the song finally came to the moment when Fan Cheng made a decision.
He spoke to the agents of the major companies before taking center stage.
Underneath the stage, the song's candidates stood together.
The camera pushes over their faces in turn.
There were no smiles, no eye to eye, and everyone was very nervous.
A beam of light hit Fan Cheng.
The photographer pushes closer to close-up.
Fan Cheng said: "I decided that it was the ...... who got the right to sing this song Mr. Zuo......"
“yeah!!!!!”
Mr. Zuo's whole person jumped at a height that he had never reached in his life, and his excitement was no different.
It is impossible for him not to be excited, even more excited than he has won any music awards, to participate in such a show, although there are famous artists and third-rate artists like Huang Yuan, but the common point is that artists who are on fire at this moment will not come here normally, all the artists who come here are either unknown and want to be famous, or they have encountered a bottleneck to seek a breakthrough, or they are about to pass out and hope to gain popularity, the same is true for Mr. Zuo, although he is old enough and his popularity is also good, but after the company tried to push it for a year or two, he found that his popularity has a soft ceiling, if there is no good opportunity, her popularity may be difficult to break through this soft ceiling。
But the opportunity thing, if it is so easy to grasp, the company will not fail to push people, Mr. Zuo has worked hard for two years and still has no effect, which shows that he is the kind of person who did not seize the opportunity.
This show is also a rare opportunity in his opinion, born with topical Divine Comedy, no matter who gets it, it is a large wave of sales and discussion, and the sales will be very high, although because of Fan Cheng, the share of this song will be less, but the popularity of a song is driven by the popularity of a singer, as long as it is really popular, the follow-up songs that Mr. Zuo will continue to launch, participate in commercial performances, shoot commercials, etc., can make back money.
Mr. Zuo's excitement reflects the loss of several other artists, this opportunity is really good, but the final failure makes them a little difficult to accept.
But at this very moment.
"and ......"
And?
Everyone was stunned, and was there still a person!?
Everyone looked up in surprise.
"Huang Yuan!"
"Huh?" Huang Yuan was stunned.
Fan Cheng explained: "I talked to Warner, and the arrangement of this song Huang Yuan and Mr. Zuo is different, and even the lyrics are different versions, which can be sold together, and Warner finally agreed with me, so ...... Although the first song was a bad teacher for everyone, I decided that both of you could release this song. ”
"yes!!" Huang Yuan also waved his hand excitedly, he is actually happier than Mr. Zuo, he has worked hard at the bottom for many years, and he has encountered much more hardships than the young Mr. Zuo, although he will not release himself like Mr. Zuo, in the camera lens, people can still see the crystal in Huang Yuan's eyes.
This forty-year-old man, because he got a song, was so excited that he even cried.
Of course, there is another sentence that Fan Cheng did not say, that is, in order to make the global side agree, Fan Cheng took the initiative to give up 0.2% of the share.
On the other hand, Huang's Records only needs to pay 4% of the single share.
Universal has less share, Fan Cheng's income has increased, and as for sales, completely different song genres will not be affected too much, and may even cause some people to buy two records at the same time, so to speak, this decision has benefited all three parties in the end.
After "Red Dragonfly", it is the part of "Song of a Thousand Thousand Que".
The same and even more exciting performances, as well as even more crazy song grabbing, were staged again.
"Red Dragonfly" is different from "Song of a Thousand Thousand Que", the former is a relatively small "scale" song, whether it is the arrangement of the idol version or the version of Tsuyoshi Nagabuchi.
But "Song of a Thousand Thousand Que" is different, whether it is the Cantonese version or the Chinese version of "Song of the Sunset", this is a song that can reach the ears of everyone in the country.
Reflected in the data, almost all musicians speculate that the sales of "Song of a Thousand Thousand Que" will inevitably exceed that of "Red Dragonfly" by a large number, and even the two versions of the arrangement of "Red Dragonfly" together may not be able to surpass "Song of a Thousand Thousand Que"!
Warner's White Moon is the strongest contender for this song, her voice is high-pitched and powerful, and White Moon standing on the stage controls the entire stage and even the TV screen, making people reluctant to take their eyes off.
The artists from other companies are also excellent, but unlike the first song, in this song, the artists sent by Universal are slightly weaker.
Seeing that the artists of Universal were no longer working, other companies finally stopped working together to encircle and suppress Universal and started a death match.
In the end, Bai Yue and Shen Weiyang of Hong Kong Island Music Island Company stood out and became the final candidates.
is also a woman, Bai Yue and Shen Weiyang's interpretation methods are somewhat different, Bai Yue is awe-inspiring, her "Sunset Song" is the most influential, when she sings, the sense of unity of the audience is impressive.
Shen Weiyang's Cantonese interpretation is full of complex and touching feelings.
In Fan Cheng's opinion, Bai Yue's performance is more inclined to Anita Mui's version in her previous life or even more atmospheric, while Shen Weiyang is more inclined to Chen Huixian's version.
In the comparison between the two, ordinary audiences and even most musicians think that Bai Yue is slightly better, although Shen Weiyang's interpretation is also very good, but the problem lies in Shen Weiyang, Bai Yue's performance is perfect, but Shen Weiyang is not, I don't know if it is too much emotional investment, or a simple performance mistake, her performance on the stage is slightly flawed, and the band behind her has a big and small cooperation mistake, if it is in her own concert, it is nothing, but in the competition, such a mistake is fatal in the eyes of many people。
Shen Weiyang's company also knows this, they seem a little deflated, and they are not even very enthusiastic when the final agent proposes to share, in the eyes of many people, the competition has ended, and there is almost no suspense for Bai Yue to win this song.
Finally, it's time for the final selection.
Regardless of the previous debate, the person who made the choice in the end was still Fan Cheng, and it was his word to decide.
"I announce that it is ...... who finally won the right to sing "Song of a Thousand Thousand Que" Shen Weiyang!" Fan Cheng made a choice that seemed incomprehensible to most people.
Bai Yue's expression instantly changed from confidence to surprise and finally to disappointment, if it weren't for the fact that she didn't have enough coffee spots among the artists present, it is estimated that she would have turned over the table and left.
On the other side, the desperate Shen Weiyang experienced a transformation from despair to surprise, and she almost rushed up to hug Fan Cheng in excitement!
In the eyes of others, this is a difficult choice to understand, but in Fan Cheng's opinion, although he struggles on the surface, there is actually nothing to struggle with in his heart, Bai Yue's interpretation is very good, but this song is not atmospheric in Fan Cheng's opinion can solve everything, and Shen Weiyang, her performance still has flaws, but the so-called flaws can be made up for and saved, and her performance will definitely get better and better in the future, not to mention that the version of "Song of a Thousand Thousand Que" is more influential than the version of "Song of the Sunset".
Even if the former is just a Cantonese song.
The two songs are over, and the first issue of "Creation is King" has also come to the end, and there is only one singer left, there is no competitor in this song, even if there is an economic positive, no one will beat her.
But before that, Fan Cheng took the stage again.
She's going to sing another song, a new song for the next episode.
The third, no, fourth song of the day.
