Chapter 121: A Flood of Arrivals
"Singing China" is the first reality talent show launched by Beijing Satellite TV, which is divided into seven singing areas: Beijing, Shengjing, Huhai, Hangzhou, Tianfu, Huacheng and Bihai, with a total prize amount of more than 30 million!
This kind of handwriting has greatly surpassed Shonan Satellite TV, which is famous for its wealth.
Although only 10 million of the 30 million are cash rewards, and the rest are gimmicks for contract training and packaging promotion, it is still a large amount of money to be distributed.
The reward for the champion of the singing district reached 100,000, the runner-up was 50,000, the third and third runners-up were 20,000, and the remaining 7 players who advanced to the top 10 also had 10,000 each, and all of them were after-tax bonuses.
After the birth of the top 10 singing districts in Beijing, at the beginning of next month, they will go to the six major singing districts in the country to conduct a tour PK competition, and the top 10 winners will have corresponding bonuses until the top 10 in the country are decided, and then return to Beijing for the final selection.
The prize money for the national championship is up to 5 million, including a cash prize of 1 million and a new star cultivation fund of 4 million!
It is precisely because of such a generous reward that "Singing China" has been sought after by countless professional or non-professional singers, and the competition in the seven major singing districts is in full swing, and the ratings are rising.
Beijing Satellite TV has made a lot of money in advertising.
As the most important singing area in Beijing among the seven major singing districts, the ratings of the top 10 finals on the evening of July 31 exceeded 4%, reaching 4.76%, which is very close to the 5% fire standard.
At present, the ratings survey of domestic TV programs is independently completed by the New Sight Company under the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television, which belongs to a state-owned third-party authority, so there is no doubt about its authenticity.
In the past, when the benefits of TV advertising were exponentially increased, there used to be as many as a dozen TV program ratings research agencies in China, due to the lack of fixed standards, coupled with the endless emergence of black-box operations and insider trading. As a result, there is a chaotic situation.
Some organizations don't even have any qualifications, and they dare to produce ratings lists.
Later, due to the too big opinions of the industry, the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television personally took action to set up a new sight distance, sweeping all the ghosts, snakes, and magic into the garbage heap of history, so that domestic TV programs had reliable ratings data.
The new viewing distance is not limited to TV screens. also includes the live webcast, the competition in the Beijing Singing Area of Beijing Satellite TV's "Sing China" has not exceeded 4%.
This breakthrough reached 4.76%, an increase of as much as 1%, which is already worth celebrating.
On the evening of August 1, the first national finals of Shonan Satellite TV's "The Strongest Singer-Songwriter" was broadcast live, with an audience rating of 3.42%.
Such a result is a big surprise, you must know that in terms of variety shows, Shonan Satellite TV has always been the hegemon. basically did not lose in the duel with other satellite TV, and it also steadily suppressed Beijing Satellite TV in the early stage.
But the situation has finally changed.
Although the specific reasons need to be analyzed in detail, many people in the industry believe that the decline in the ratings of "The Strongest Singer-Songwriter" has a certain relationship with the lack of follow-up of Ling Xiaoxiao, who is highly praised.
In the competition that night, Ling Xiaoxiao's original work "Kaleidoscope" performed mediocre, and on the Internet, the discussion about his work imitating and plagiarizing the former Korean boy group KDK has not subsided.
Compared with. As Ling Xiaoxiao's competitor, Lu Chen, who was promoted in "Sing China", became more and more courageous.
Lu Chen's original work "Fly Higher" in the top 10 finals of the Beijing Singing District. The next day, it appeared on the new song list of Feixun Music, ranking 9th, and the number of clicks and downloads increased amazingly.
In the wave blog, Xiaoxiao's support group is no longer arrogant, and they are all dead dogs in the face of Lu Jiajun's provocation.
And with the rise in the ratings of "Singing China", Lu Chen finally broke through his original circle. In the pop music world or the big entertainment industry, he initially has his own status and reputation.
Although he is still a young star, as an independent artist, it is a small miracle that he can come this far, and it is in the foreseeable future. His starlight will be even brighter.
In the two days after the finals of the top 10 in the Beijing Singing District, a number of entertainment media and brokerage companies came to the door.
They obviously inquired about Lu Chen's details and wanted to come over as soon as possible to pick up the leak.
Lu Chen pushed all these visitors to Lu Xi.
His opinion is very clear, that is, there is no need to negotiate the contract, but there is no problem with cooperation, as long as the other party is sincere.
And his so-called cooperation is, to put it bluntly, selling songs!
Do you have any rookie idols, small fresh meat boy groups, and girl groups that need good songs?
As for the quality of the works, please refer to "In the Spring", "Strong Reason", "You at the Same Table", "Fly Higher" and so on.
As for the price, a song starts at 200,000, and there is no cap!
Lu Chen's studio's offer scared away several guys who came with the intention of picking up cheap, and also made several other powerful companies feel very entangled.
Lu Chen's talent is beyond doubt, the value of a single song "In the Spring" is not to mention 200,000, even if it is 1 million, it is worth paying, but such a classic is really too rare.
Spending 200,000 yuan to buy a song is not much pressure on them, but if the song they buy is not suitable or cannot create enough benefits, the person in charge of handling it will undoubtedly have to eat and hang.
said a thousand ways and ten thousand, or Lu Chen's rise is too fast, unlike those old big-name authors, whether it is credibility or strength, he is trustworthy, what if he runs out of inspiration and can't write good songs anymore?
The 200,000 were thrown into the water in vain, not to mention, and they would be laughed at by their peers!
After all, Lu Chen has created a lot of works now, and as a young newcomer, his accumulation is still shallow.
In addition, there are some rumors in the circle, saying that songs such as "In the Spring", "Strong Reason", "I Want to Have a Home", and "Fly Higher" are not very similar to Lu Chen's own writing, and there may be a behind-the-scenes team operating them.
Something like this hasn't happened before.
99% of the so-called grassroots stars are hyped up.
This kind of rumor has a nose and eyes, and there is a certain amount of truth, although it is said that it is mediocre to not be envied, but on the surface, Lu Chen, who has no roots and no bottom, is so beautiful. Groundless wind may not be without cause!
Therefore, after talking to Lu Xi, these companies chose to wait and see for the time being.
Lu Chen didn't care about this in the slightest, he said to Lu Xi: "Next time they come to the door, then raise the price of a song to 300,000, don't talk about any less!"
Lu Xi smiled: "Isn't this not very good?"
Lu Chen was full of confidence: "At that time, it was they who came to beg us, not us." ”
The greatest wealth that Lu Chen has. It's from the countless classics in the dream world, and he can't sing all of these excellent works by himself, and he must sell a lot of them.
But if you take out too many good things, they are not worth much, and Lu Chen knows this very well, so he would rather rot in his own hands than sell them cheaply in large quantities.
These entertainment media companies that came to the door obviously haven't realized it yet, or realized it but didn't dare to bet on the strength he had, and it was normal to continue to wait and see.
However, at this time and then, wait until the "Sing China" competition is over. The situation is necessarily very different.
It won't be three or two kittens that will come to the door.
Lu Chen was full of confidence in this.
He set up his own studio and followed the path of an independent artist, and he didn't think about how to compete with his peers in the industry.
Lu Chen's studio is completely for Lu Chen's own service, the studio will not sign people to poach people, not to compete for resources but to create resources, which can undoubtedly cooperate with most of his peers.
For example, Nirvana Studio, which is making an album for him.
At least the current Lu Chen has no ambition to build an entertainment media empire, what he wants is to become a superstar like Tan Hong. even surpassed his idol when he was a child and became a real perfect star.
He wants everyone to remember his name. Bring all the classics of the dream world to this world.
And it may take a lifetime to realize such a dream!
Someone came and went away, and went back empty-handed.
There are also people who come, and they won't stop until they take something back.
For such a person, Lu Chen still welcomes it.
"Hello. Director Su!"
On August 3, the day before Lu Chen left for Shengjing, Su Qingmei, the director of Qingyu Media, came to the studio.
The eldest lady came over with two assistants, and Lu Chen received them personally.
After all, Qingyu Media is his biggest partner at present.
Su Qingmei was dismissive of the small studio, and she was not even interested in visiting. She said straight to the point: "Lu Chen, we want the song Fly Higher, we can sign the contract now!"
The Wandering Band was an instant hit, and "In the Spring" has been at the top of the original music chart for three weeks, how can Qingyu Media, as a contracted company, ignore Lu Chen's power?
So Su Qingmei came, although she still looked at Lu Chen a little unpleasantly.
Lu Chen smiled faintly and said, "This song is going to be the second title track of the Compass Band, right?"
Su Qingmei was surprised: "How do you know?"
What's so hard to guess about this, it was originally the Compass Band that Qingyu Media first signed, and the Wandering Band that was signed later, and because the latter quickly got together a small album of works, it was the first to debut.
Now that the band is becoming popular, Qingyu Media wants to strike while the iron is hot, and on the other hand, it will also launch the Compass Band to enhance its status in the industry.
With the example of the hesitant band, the single title song "Blue Lotus" obviously cannot meet the requirements of Light Rain Media for the Compass Band, and their appetite has been raised.
"Talk to the manager of our studio about copyright!"
Lu Chen didn't bother to answer her question, and pushed his sister out to the other party ceremoniously.
"Lu Xi is also my agent. ”
He believed that with Lu Xi's ability, he was enough to eat this eldest lady steadily.
It will never be cheap light rain media.
Su Qingmei and Lu Xi met for the first time.
When their hands clasped together, their eyes collided, and an invisible spark shone faintly in the air.
Sister VS Su Meimei, ask for subscription, reward and monthly pass support!
